The Clean-up act

摘要

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) was enacted 21 October 1976 to govern the disposal of solid and hazardous waste in the US. The law established two programmes that could have been relevant to the disposal of waste produced as byproducts from the combustion of coal. These byproducts, often referred to as coal combustion residuals (CCRs), are produced in large quantities during the generation of electricity in coal-fired power plants.
