Report No. RCED-93-15
Subject
Summary:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can force businesses with hazardous waste operations to clean up waste that has contaminated the environment. About 3,400 facilities are suspected of leaking dangerous material, but, as of June 1992, only 43 had implemented comprehensive cleanup measures. This report examines (1) the status of EPA's corrective action process and (2) the funding that has been made available for the corrective action program and the usefulness of the data used to determine overall costs.
