Accession Number: 00637882
Record Type: Monograph
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: State transportation departments (DOTs) are big land buyers and owners and they are constantly confronted with the possibility of acquiring or encountering hazardous waste problems. The Committee on Hazardous Wastes in Highway Rights-of-Way examined the systems and approaches that state DOTs have adopted for detecting and dealing with hazardous wastes to determine the elements that appear essential for an effective and efficient hazardous waste program. Through a series of case studies and a telephone survey, the committee assessed these approaches and developed recommendations for policies and procedures that help minimize the cost, uncertainty, delay, and liability from hazardous waste while fully satisfying the DOTs' environmental and public interest responsibilities. Although the report focuses on the highway development process, the approaches explored may be of particular interest to other public agencies and to large landholders and purchasers in general.
