[Not So Sly Trucker] Sly Had a Trucking Business and Advertised

Question 81

Multiple Choice

[Not So Sly Trucker] Sly had a trucking business and advertised that he would transport "anything." One day Shady Corporation asked him to transport some hazardous waste and dump it on a farm telling him that he should be careful about touching any of the waste. A friend of Sly's asked him if he should check to see if Shady Corporation had the proper permits. Sly replied that he was unconcerned about permits for dumping because he was a mere transporter. A few years later, federal investigators operating on a tip from someone Sly had cheated in a poker game, discovered the farm. The material at issue consisted of a pile of hazardous waste dumped by Sly. The waste was removed; soil was cleaned; and the action, resulting in a permanent solution, was complete within 6 months. The government requested that Sly cover the clean-up costs. He refused on the basis that he was simply a trucker and did not make the waste.
-Which of the following is funded primarily by taxes on corporations in industries that create significant amounts of hazardous waste, and used to handle clean-up of hazardous waste such as that on the farm?


A) Clean-Up fund
B) Hazardous duty fund
C) Superfund
D) Primary payment source
