| Description | Presents the EPA's proposed approach in conducting studies as required by Sec. 1038 of ISTEA. Sec. 1038 is interpreted not to require a "definitive scientific determination of the significance of the health and environmental risks posed by recycling waste tires into asphalt pavement" Reviews the statutory text, legislative history and policy considerations that support this interpretation of ISTEA. It then shows that there is a wealth of data, including "reliable evidence" upon which the EPA can judge whether the manufacture use and recycling of rubber modified asphalt presents potential hazards to public (especially worker) health or to the environment. Finally, it discusses the short term and long term actions that should be undertaken, by the Government, industry, or both to develop the evidence needed to reliably assess the health and environmental risks of the waste tire recycling program. |
