Hazardous waste bill
introduced in U.S. congress
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
“The release of hazardous
waste substances into the en
vironment across the coun
try is becoming a problem of
such magnitude that the
time has come to take
necessary corrective action.
In my district alone, three
hazardous waste sites have
already been identified
and studied,” Congressman
Bob Walker said Monday as
he announced his cospon
sorship of the Hazardous
Waste Response Act of 1979.
The bill, with 35 cospon
sors, would establish a com
presbensive system of
notification, emergency
government response, en
forcement and liability at in
active and abandoned waste
disposal sites.
As part of a year long in
vestigation into hazardous
waste management, a Sub
committee of the House In
terstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee conducted
a survey of active, inactive
and abandoned hazardous
waste disposal sites of the 53
largest chemical companies
m the United States.

Three Chester County
sites, two in Coatesville and
one m Honey Brook, were in
cluded in that study which
resulted in this legislation.
“This proposed remedy
solicits the aid of the owner
operator of a waste disposal
site, and state and federal
governments to deal with the
problem of hazardous
wastes m protecting our en
vironment,” the Penn
sylvania lawmaker com
mented.
“It holds the owner
operator liable for any il
legal releases from inactive
and abandoned sites, while
authorizing the government
to act only when those
responsible fail to take the
necessary actions,” he said.
Specifically the bill would;
require owners or operators
of hazardous waste sites or
others who might contribute
to hazardous waste releases
to notify the government if a
release takes place.
It empowers government
to respond promptly to
releases at inactive and
abandoned sites.
It prohibits releases from
inactive and abandoned
sites. Persons responsible
for a release would be re
quired to take remedial ac
tions. Government action is
only authorized when
responsible parties fail to
take necessary response ac
tions.
The bill would establish
liability without fault to
enable persons and govern
mental agencies to recover
from responsible parties.
And it enlists the aid of the
states by authorizing the
federal government to enter
into cooperative agreements
or contracts with states to
respond to releases at sites.
