PSCI 3325 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Enforcement Authority
Document Summary
Command - government tells them to control and - how to control inspections, When a pollutant presents an imminent danger to the populace, epa can take complete control of state authority without any notice. Under rcra, epa can not only obtain all state enforcement authority for solid waste control, but can also force a state to create its own entity to control and monitor solid waste pollution. Notification by epa to state is required to law, but no strictly defined timeline so. Epa gets to interpret what a timely manner for notification is. In order for states to get superfund money to clean up contaminated sites, must agree to epa guidelines. >command = must be complied with //// control = consequences if you don"t comply. > cac approach for environment uses three main types of standards: ambient, emission, and technology standards. Enforcement often involves uniform sanctions, which can hurt smaller/poorer businesses/states/entities more.
