-2- • <br /> WHEREAS, the 1976 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and its amendments, along <br /> with EPA's regulations thereunder, treat household wastes according to non- <br /> hazardous solid waste standards. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of.St. Anthony, <br /> Minnesota, to urge its congressional representatives to support: <br /> 1. Amending the Superfund statute to clearly provide that municipal solid waste <br /> is not a hazardous substance in the same fashion as provided under the <br /> Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. <br /> 2. Empowering only the Federal Government to sue local governments for cost- <br /> sharing under the Superfund statute if such local governments may have <br /> handled any truly hazardous waste. <br /> 3. Clearly defining that the degree of toxicity, not the volume of waste, should <br /> be the prime factor in assessing any liabilities under the Superfund statute. <br /> Adopted this day of , 1991. <br /> Mayor <br /> ATTEST: <br /> City Clerk <br /> Reviewed for administration: <br /> City Manager <br /> • <br />
