UP. Environmental lawyer Gerrard describes the different varieties of toxic and nuclear waste, the history of their disposal methods, and the obvious and subtle issues involved in choosing sites for future disposal. He then proposes an approach to the problem of fairness by advocating local control, state responsibility, and allocation on a national level. He also suggests reusing contaminated sites in order to spare virgin lands and avoid the cost of cleaning up the old ones. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
