Authorizes the District of Columbia to request contributions from the Federal Government and from future users of the expanded landfill to pay for carrying out the environmental impact statement. Directs the Administrator to establish a Metropolitan Area Regional Waste Management Task Force to study the feasibility and desirability of establishing a regional waste management plan and program for the Washington metropolitan area.
