LaJuana told reporter Amena H. Saiyid that Congress ultimately needs to act. “It’s astonishing and frustrating for people trying to comply with the law that we can’t explain clearly and with certainty the reach of the Clean Water Act or the definition of a solid waste under RCRA after all these years,” LaJuana told the reporter. RCRA is the Resource Recovery and Conservation Act.
