The first law regulates the management of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes and the cleanup of hazardous wastes released from such facilities. The second governs the cleanup of inactive waste sites--that is, sites where disposal is no longer occurring. This report discusses (1) what DOE has done to coordinate its cleanup activities under the two acts, (2) what problems with coordination continue and how cleanup activities have been affected, and (3) how DOE plans to improve the coordination of cleanup activities in the future. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-66/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-66.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-66/pdf/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-66.pdf GAO/RCED-95-66 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-66 Letter Report GAO/RCED-95-66; Nuclear Cleanup: Difficulties in Coordinating Activities Under Two Environmental Laws; Nuclear waste disposal Compliance Reporting requirements Nuclear waste management Interagency relations Radioactive wastes Nuclear waste storage Energy research Environmental policies Environmental law EPA National Priorities List
