APES Unit 8 Questions & Answers
correct
Atomic Energy Act (1954) - answer Was passed because of the government's keen
interest in monitoring the commercial and
national defense uses of atomic energy. Government concerns included radiation
hazards and the disposal of radioactive
waste. The act establishes a general regulatory structure for construction and use of
nuclear power plants and nuclear

and affords only limited
opportunities for suits by public interest groups.

Clean Air Act (1970, 1977, 1990) - answer Sets goals and standards for the quality
and purity of air in the United States. By law, it
is periodically reviewed. A significant set of amendments in 1990 toughened air quality
standards and placed new

Clean Water Act - answer Establishes and maintains goals and standards for U.S.

pollutants, and in 1990, to more effectively address the hazard of oil spills.

Coastal Zone Management Act - answer Provides a partnership structure allowing
states and the federal government to
work together for the protection of U.S. coastal zones from environmentally harmful
overdevelopment. The program
provides federal funding to participating coastal states and territories for the
implementation of measures that conserve
coastal areas.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act - answer
Requires the cleanup of sites
contaminated with toxic waste. This law is commonly refered to as "Superfund." In 1986
major amendments were made
in order to clarify the level of cleanup required and degrees of liability. CERCLA is
retroactive, which means it can be used to hold liable those responsible for disposal of
hazardous wastes before the law was enacted in 1980.

Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act - answer Requires
companies to disclose information about
toxic chemicals they release into the air and water and dispose of on land

and threatened species of fish, wildlife

laws to increase clean energy use and improve overall energy efficiency in the United
States.

establish a reserve of up to 1 billion
barrels of petroleum

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act - answer Is the nation's major law regulating
contaminants in food, including
