1703 - HAZARD MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCE RESTORATION (Public)
personnel should visit the site to take necessary actions (e.g., fill holes, post signs) to
control the immediate impacts of the emergency.
If a release of a hazardous substance has occurred, and in the judgment of the BLM
personnel the situation requires immediate action, the procedures outlined in the BLM
Emergency Response or Hazardous Materials Contingency Plan should be initiated as
soon as possible. For environmental emergencies, the BLM can function as the support
agency to the designated response authority (e.g., EPA or the State). As the support
agency, the BLM may actually complete all of the response actions for emergency
situations on public lands, and may in fact act as the lead agency if so requested by the
designated response authority. After completion of the emergency action, the site should
be re-examined to determine if all released hazardous substances have been eliminated
and if restoration actions are needed.
13. Comply with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
The RCRA was enacted by Congress in 1976 to: protect human health and the
environment from the potential hazards of waste disposal; to conserve energy and natural
resources; to reduce the amount of waste generated, and to ensure that wastes are
managed in an environmentally sound manner. The act set up a "cradle to grave" system
which regulates the identification, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of solid
and hazardous wastes. The RCRA as amended in 1984 by the Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments requires facilities that have treated, stored, or disposed of hazardous
wastes to clean up environmental contaminants released into soil, ground and surface
water, and air. This cleanup is termed a corrective action. All BLM personnel are
required to comply with applicable Federal, State, and local regulations pertaining to
solid and hazardous waste, hazardous materials, or recycling/reuse at facilities under the
BLM's direct management.
07. File and Records Maintenance.
These records are unscheduled and must be maintained indefinitely. When the records are
scheduled, a schedule will be published.
