Funds collection

One problem with fuel taxes, continuing fines, and effluent fees is how to use the funds collected most effectively. Among the ideas which have been developed are to use the funds as the basis for loans or subsidies for...

CERCLA The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, also known as Superfund. Enacted December 11, 1980, and amended thereafter, CERCLA provides for identification and cleanup of hazardous materials released over the land and into the air, waterways, and groundwater. It covers areas affected by newly released materials and older leaking or abandoned dump sites. CERCLA established the Superfund, a trust fund, to help pay for cleanup of hazardous materials sites. The EPA has the authority to collect cleanup costs from those who release the waste material. Cleanup funds come from fines and penalties, from taxes on chemical/petrochemical feedstocks, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. A separate fund collects taxes on active disposal sites to finance monitoring after they close. 

From the late 1960s to the 1970s, homeowners in the community in Love Canal, New York suffered a number of well-publicized health problems, such as miscarriages, chronic infections, chemical bums, internal disorders, and genetic mutations. These maladies were traced to 20,000 tons of hazardous waste buried by Hooker Chemical and Plastics Company from 1947 to 1954. President. Timmy Carter declared the town a disaster area in 1978. In 1980 the neighborhood was evacuated and in the same year, the Superfund [the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)] was created. This program was created to clean up toxic waste sites using a fund collected from chemical manufacturers and oil producers (3).

The first three phases listed above are sometimes defined collectively as the pre-project stage. This is the stage in which ideas are developed and tested, but before large funding commitments are made. 

As of this writing (1996), 354 MWe of privately funded, paraboHc-trough electric generating capacity was operating in California. These trough systems operate in a hybrid mode, using natural gas. Collectively they accounted for more than 90% of worldwide solar electric capacity. The cost of these systems fell steadily from 0.24/kWh for the first 14-MW system to an estimated 0.08/kWh for the 80-MW plant installed in 1989 (5).

Situations in which proposed trials must await approval and funding before development of the electronic-based data collection and management system can begin present a real challenge to developers in terms of being able to complete the system before the initiation of data collection. Development of a basic system that is easily adaptable will aid in decreasing the time needed for development.

DAWN is a morbidity and mortality information system, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in which data are collected from a sample of more than 800 hospitals located in 27 major metropolitan areas in the continental United States, from a National panel of hospitals outside of these areas, and from medical examiners/coroners located in 26 major metropolitan areas.

Patterson suffered the first of many severe asthmatic attacks after collecting acidic gas samples from a Hawaiian volcano in 1983. The steroids he took for the asthma exacerbated his inherited osteoporosis, and his frame shrank nine inches to five foot seven. He applied twice for funds to create a line of lead-free rats to study biological processes in uncontaminated mammals. After both applications were rejected, he frequently became depressed. 

An all India primary survey on the lamp users indicates that average replacement rate per household per year for CFLs and FTLs is about 1.26 and 1.05, respectively. The survey also indicated that majority of consumers are not willing to take the direct responsibility in funding system, therefore, a decentralized system of collection should work in Indian conditions. The recovery chain has to be clearly established with incentive-based roles identified for household consumers, retailers, and junk dealers. Further, the onward linkages must be assured so that the collected wastes are recycled and residues adequately disposed of.
