U, r ,2m; General Accounting Office Assessment Of EPA's Hazardous Waste Enforcement Strategy The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Compliance, Monitoring and Enforcement Strategy is a plan for bringing 90 percent of the hazardous waste facilities into compliance with important hazardous waste regulations by 1989. EPA is working to improve the clarity and enforceability of the applicable regulatory re- quirements. Its strategy seems to provide a detailed framework for inspection, follow-up, and enforcement at hazardous waste facilities. EPA's strategy does not, however, (1) identify the EPA and state resources, skills mix, and training necessary to achieve the compliance goal, (2) provide a means for measuring progress toward achieving the goal, or (3) provide for communicating the goal to the states, which are largely responsible for the strategy's imple- mentation.
