Connections between legislations and agencies covered this week and your life and present and future careers
DQ1 Connections between legislations and agencies covered this week and your life and present and future careers
This week, we covered the basics of TSCA, RCRA, CERCLA, and the Lautenberg Act. Share one to two sentences that you can use to tell your family and friend about one of these legislations and how it affects your life. And then share a few sentences on which legislation would most likely affect a career you are thinking of for environmental management. You should add to what your classmates have begun rather than repeat similar thoughts. For example, if you agree with what TSCA is about, you can provide a different example of how it affects your life.
We also saw the 20 minutes RCRA Training by the U.S. Army Garrison Redstone as part of our content this week. What are your thoughts about the training video? Has anyone been to a RCRA training?
Please change the title of this topic to clearly state the career you are posting about. This will allow other students interested in the same career to read your post and add relevant information and perspectives to what you began.
DQ2 Putting things into context: relationships and situations
What is the relationship between TSCA, RCRA, CERCLA, and Lautenberg Act? Make sure to read what your classmates have written so that you can add something new to the discussion. Make sure to incorporate the major goals and actions for each of these legislations. Please discuss what agencies are responsible for rule making for these legislations and any specific rules you have learned about from these agencies as part of your work in this class or any other aspect of your life.
Please provide a timeline of these acts and the events that brought our attention to the need to implement these acts.
Also, please discuss the importance of the TCLP in determining what is a hazardous waste under RCRA.
We have all heard about toxic substances such as lead, asbestos, plutonium, Atrazine, and benzene. All these chemicals are known to be toxic, and yet, they are not regulated universally under any of the acts you learned about this week for hazardous chemicals management. Please discuss under which conditions/situations each chemical would be regulated, which act would be responsible for regulating that chemical under that specific situation, or if we have not discussed the act that the specific chemical would fall under.
DQ3 Which legislations and agencies are responsible for these environmental issues?
Below are specific environment and environmental health issues for us to discuss as a class. Please discuss what legislation this specific problem is relevant to (including subtitles) and what specific rules/regulations and agencies are responsible for this environmental issue.
Heavy metals in industrial processing
Coal ash spill from unlined pond
Abandoned land contaminated with benzene
Underground storage tank
New chemical production
Installation of a new municipal waste landfill
Storage of hazardous waste
As always, please read what your classmates have discussed prior to your participation and add value to the discussion with relevant connections to our course content.
