Editors' Summary: This Article is the third in a three-part series on the Clean Air Act and the 1990 amendments. The authors analyze the new permit program mandated by the 1990 amendments, which requires the creation of a state-administered permit program. The authors also analyze the enforcement mechanisms available under the Clean Air Act that are applicable to stationary sources, and the administrative procedures and judicial review provided for in the Act.

Editors' Summary: EPA's toxics release inventory (TRI), compiled under § 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), is the most comprehensive national database on toxic chemical emissions. TRI data have helped direct national, state, and local efforts to evaluate patterns in industrial toxic pollution, and have been instrumental in attempts to encourage industrial source reduction, such as EPA's 33/50 initiative, which aims for a 33 percent voluntary reduction of releases and transfers of 17 high-priority TRI chemicals by 1992 and 50 percent by 1995.

Editors' Summary: This Article examines the burning of hazardous waste in incinerators, boilers, and industrial furnaces, as regulated by RCRA. After providing a background on the controversy and competing claims about the thermal destruction of hazardous waste, the Article describes how thermal destruction devices operate and why these devices pose regulatory difficulties. The Article then analyzes how EPA and the states regulate incinerators, boilers, and industrial furnaces.

Editors' Summary: RCRA allows EPA to authorize any state that has a qualified hazardous waste program to operate its program in lieu of the federal RCRA hazardous waste (subchapter III) program. When a state has received such authorization, questions arise as to whether the state program suspends portions of RCRA, and whether RCRA citizen suit enforcement of the state's hazardous waste regulations against regulated entities is permissible.

At its heart, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)¹ is an informational statute.

Editors' Summary: "Delisting" is the process by which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) excludes a particular facility's waste from otherwise applicable lists that would designate it as hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Delisting is available for wastes that do not warrant management as hazardous, due to plant-specific variations in processes, raw materials, or other factors.

My object all sublime

I shall achieve in time —

To make the punishment fit the crime.

Privatization — the transfer of state owned and managed enterprises into the hands of the private sector — is a central task for the emerging democracies of Central and Eastern Europe. This process, which requires the untangling of 45 years of state control and management, is even more difficult than was earlier imagined because of the parallel legacy of 45 or more years of environmental neglect.
