Answer to Question 1

The Environmental Protection Agency is allowed to levy penalties for oil spills into waterways and they are able to require firms that were responsible for the spills to pay to remediate the surrounding areas after oil spills.

Answer to Question 2

The federal law that impacts the generation of hazardous waste is the Hazardous and Solid Waste Act of 1984. This act provides the federal government with the power to regulate hazardous waste and it has a provision for providing assistance to states in developing solid waste management plans and implementing new technology to reduce or abate hazardous waste.
