Abstract :
Presented are the evolution and status as at December 1995 of the proposed enforceable agreement between the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the US domestic Portland cement industry regarding disposal of new cement kiln dust. The completion and execution of the enforceable agreement was in doubt because of objections by environmentalists and commercial hazardous waste incinerators, the apparent lack of existing statutory authority for such a contract, and the reluctance of elements of the cement industry to use existing regulatory authority requiring a finding of imminent and substantial endangerment to develop a consent order that embodied the substance of the proposed enforceable agreement
