Abstract
Current federal hazardous and low-level radioactive waste management p olicies (under conjoint federalism) fail to balance national concerns for consistency with state concerns for equity, discretion, and adequa te resources. Congress should expand conjoint federalism to permit sta tes to charge differential fees on imported hazardous waste as it does for low-level radioactive waste. For low-level radioactive waste, cla rification of the ''take title'' issue makes the present framework for state discretion implementable, given sufficient time.
