摘要

Since the early 1980s, local governments from California to the Carolina's have instituted local hazardous waste prevention programs. Early hazardous waste programs began because local environmental officials were concerned with the amount of hazardous substances from homes and exempt businesses that were slipping through state and federal regulatory cracks and entering the environment. The collective experience of local programs grew over the years and common solutions have developed. Clearly, local hazardous waste programs are relative newcomers to local government operations in North America. Considering the newness of the issue, an impressive national record exists for how many towns, cities and counties have initiated programs to plug the regulatory cracks. Local programs are diverting hazardous wastes from contaminating the environment and protecting public health. For some communities, running collection and inspection programs that reduce the amount of chemical pollution that is released into the environment is the best they can offer, and an excellent accomplishment. Resources to expand programs are not easily obtained. For other communities, policy makers are pushing hazardous waste programs beyond their original scope of work to integrate with other local mandates. Local integration can help seal the regulatory cracks that are relics of the USA's trickle down system of federal level lawmaking and local implementation. This paper shows how in one case study, integration of ground water protection programs and hazardous waste programs makes good environmental, economic and public policy. The paper contends that both programs share common goals, common audiences, common program delivery methods, common staff expertise, and regulate common substances. The paper highlights relevant elements from the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Definition of wellhead protection areas and a list of chemicals subject to the Safe Drinking Water Act are provided. The paper also gives a case study of how Thurston County, Washington is making an impact on environmental protection and earning more public support by integrating wellhead protection into its local hazardous waste program. The paper concludes that ultimately, it is up to local policy makers and rate payers to choose how they want environmental services to evolve. If you cry forward'you must be sure to make clear the direction in which to go. - Anton Chekov.
