Public-Private Partnerships On The Rise
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 04.22.09
In "Funding America's Infrastructure Needs: Public-Private Partnerships May Help Close Infrastructure Gap," in the March 2009 issue of Construction Briefings, Steve McBrady of C&M examines the increasing use of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in American infrastructure, as the federal government, states, and localities seek innovative mechanisms for upgrading and operating critical infrastructure. The recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Obama administration's proposal for a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank, and the upcoming Transportation Re-Authorization bill, will bolster these efforts and generate increased focus on the use of PPPs across the country.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdrew a February 2024 Biden administration proposed rule, “Definition of Hazardous Waste Applicable to Corrective Action for Releases From Solid Waste Management Units,” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).[1] The withdrawn proposal would have revised RCRA corrective action regulations to expressly apply the broader statutory definition of “hazardous waste,” rather than only the narrower regulatory definition. Now, EPA is maintaining the status quo for corrective action under RCRA. However, EPA’s withdrawal of its proposed RCRA hazardous waste definition makes no mention of its corresponding proposal from 2024 to list nine per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as RCRA hazardous constituents.[2] This disjointed withdrawal, while providing some certainty for regulated entities, does not resolve how EPA plans to address PFAS under the RCRA program.
