Political/Legal Segment. Beginning the early 1990s, the federal government began implementing more stringent regulatory guidance concerning conventional solid waste disposal methods that increased the costs of doing business between five- and ten-fold (Tiller & Jakus, 2005)
In addition, increasing numbers of older landfills are being already being shut down and the construction of new landfills that satisfy regulatory requirements are becoming prohibitively expensive as a result of Sub-Title D. Of the Resource Conversion and Recovery Act (Villanueva (2008)

2.6 Five Forces Analysis Michael Porter's Five Forces Model has largely been used to assess industries and their attractiveness (Porter, 2008)
The rise in level of ground water is among one of the major issues. Initial risk assessment: The initial risk assessments of the site provide an understanding that the sea coast is close to the site which has a tendency of affecting the site as high level of groundwater (Hanson et al
These chemicals flow in the direction of ground water flow as a result the risk is potentially increased. It also causes a high risk factor as multiple radioactive wastes are also transported (Jordan & Szucs 2011)
(2) List the likely contaminants, receptors and pathways, and discuss any assumptions made in this evaluation, and hence carry out an initial risk assessment for the site. Contaminants, Receptors, and Pathways: There is multiple source of contamination for groundwater (McKnight et al
The ingestion of soil, dermal contact with soil, inhalation of soil particles, and soil to groundwater pathways are critical for the contaminations. The receptors are air, soil, and water which are critical for the developments in ground waters (Meadows & Watmough 2012)
It is essential to secure the receptors and pathways for contaminations in groundwater on industrial sites. The review of industrial site waste sources and contaminations enables the identification of the receptors (Parker, West, Odling & Bottrell2011)
g. air pollution, chemical's storages and spills, fuel, storage, and spills are also significantly important in creating an impact on the high condemnations of ground water (Perrow 2011)
These contaminations are transported through multiple means causing the soil and groundwater contaminations. The absorption of the site is also not efficient as heavy industrial developments took place on the site (Spellman & Bieber 2009)
The changes observed during various times provide a brief understanding of the site and its nature. The changes are relevant for consideration in development of a conceptual map (Thampi & Raneesh2012)
These contaminations contain a potential for major reasons observed during the site review. The chemicals and petrochemical spills ate industrial sites are also potential carriers of the causes for soil and groundwater contaminations (Thiessen & Achari2011)
Major exclusions from the definition of solid waste are sewered discharges, domestic sewage, in-situ mining materials, source special nuclear materials, and reused spent sulfuric acid. The exclusions of solid waste under the RCRA, which have been the source of serious litigation, consist of material that has been directly reused within an industrial process, despite being leftover from another or the same part of the process (Lee, at 35-39)

Under the RCRA, waste is not considered "hazardous waste" unless it is a "solid waste," which includes solids, liquids and containerized gasses. Solid waste must be "discarded material," which includes recycled material or anything inherently waste-like (Sheldon, at (http://www
The needs assessment depends on communicating with various organizations, and could entail dealing with bureaucratic barriers. It may be necessary to establish partnerships with organizations that can assist the needs assessment, such as grassroots groups, NGOs, and universities (Sharma, Lanum & Suarez-Balcazar, 2000)
This would be united with the formation of a specific European body accountable for direct examinations and controls of facilities and sites in grave cases of non-compliance. A European network of EU member states would sustain the agency in a quantity of actions (Dedicated body needed to enforce EU waste law, European Commission study say, 2010)
In recent years waste has started to come into view as an overt topic for study. Waste and its management touch on matters of sustainable growth, authority, utilization, and environmental guard (Deutz and Frostick, 2009)
