Synopsis

Explore how governments and industry confront hazardous waste and the realities of disposal, regulation, and prevention. This volume compiles field hearings on hazardous and toxic waste, focusing on how waste streams are defined, where they can be disposed, and what works in practice to protect people and the environment.

The material covers the types of wastes created by oil exploration and refining, how they’re treated or stored, and the challenges of siting and maintaining Class I disposal sites. It also delves into economic and scientific methods used to assess damage from spills, including direct monitoring and indirect, predictive approaches. Readers will see real-world debates about safety, policy, and the costs of prevention versus cleanup.

• Different waste streams from oil exploration, refining, and processing, and how they are disposed of on-site or at designated facilities.


• Regulatory tensions around defining what counts as hazardous waste and where it can be dumped.


• Methods for assessing environmental damage from spills, including both direct monitoring and indirect estimates.


• Practical views on prevention, spill response, and balancing costs with protecting natural resources.

Ideal for readers of environmental policy, public works hearings, and industry practitioners seeking a historically grounded look at how hazardous waste issues were debated and addressed.
