Abstract |
The goal of CSI was to develop cleaner, cheaper, smarter approaches for protecting our citizens and the natural environment. This meant finding ways to overcome the limitations of the current system, in particular, the pollutant-by-pollutant, media-by-media approach to regulation that has evolved under the nation's environmental laws. This approach, which has meant focusing on air, land, and water issues separately, has enabled us to successfully control pollution from large industrial and municipal sources. But recent years have shown its limitations. We now understand that efforts to control pollution into one medium, such as air, can actually increase pollution into the water or land. A compartmentalized regulatory system has also made it more challenging for facility managers to track, understand, and comply with environmental requirements. Likewise, regulatory staff working within compartmentalized organizational structures have been hindered from seeing environmental improvement opportunities lying outside their traditional realm of responsibility. |
