The study includes both trucks and rail cars, and includes all potential hazardous materials, substances, and wastes. The EPA identified only a small number of joint-use contamination incidents reported over a 30-year period in the United States, and determined that the existing regulatory and nonregulatory incentives to minimize or avoid contamination were sufficient so that it appears inappropriate at this time to recommend a complete prohibition of the joint use of vehicles. The Agency also is not recommending at this time any further study of the joint-use issue. The Agency believes that further study will not alter the fundamental conclusion of this report that joint use of vehicles to transport hazardous and nonhazardous materials is not a significant problem.
