The Hazardous Waste Q & A An In-depth Guide to the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act and The Hazardous Materials
Transportation Act Revised Edition Travis P. Wagner The "Answer
Book" for all your compliance questions. How much of your company's
waste is considered "hazardous" under current federal regulations?
If the carrier you hire to remove waste is cited for a violation,
can you also be held liable? Does your company's disposal program
meet new EPA and DOT requirements? Now you can find the
authoritative answers to these and hundreds of other critical waste
management problems--in minutes--with the revised edition of this
practical, quick-reference guide to RCRA and HMTA compliance. The
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Hazardous Materials
Transportation Act have spawned an enormous and complex body of
regulations and requirements--among the most complicated laws in
the land. Unfortunately, while ensuring compliance with these
regulations is a top priority for both the EPA and DOT. helping
businesses understand and comply with the regulations is not.
Written by a former technical compliance specialist for EPA. The
Hazardous Waste Q&A helps you make sure your waste management
practices fully meet these tough regulations--and will help you
reduce your liability, too. The Hazardous Waste Q&A simplifies
hazardous waste management under RCRA and HMTA by presenting these
highly technical and often difficult to interpret regulations in an
easy-to-understand, easy-to-use question-and-answer format. This
approach lets you go straight to the help you need without digging
through pages and pages of dense, technical detail. You'll find
EPA-approved procedures and solutions for virtually every practical
aspect of hazardous waste management:
* Identification and Classification Guidelines
* Requirements for Medium-and Large-Quantity Generators
* Transportation under RCRA and HMTA
* Recycling, Storage, Treatment, and Disposal
* Ground Water Monitoring
* Closure and Post-Closure
* Financial Requirements
* Operating and Post-Closure Permits

Questions were developed from thousands of actual inquiries received at EPA and from the author's experience consulting on hazardous wastes for private industry.
