Managing Your Hazardous Wastes: A Step-by-Step RCRA Compliance Guide

This 2nd Edition provides any facility that generates or processes hazardous waste—treatment facilities, recyclers, hazardous waste transporters, and storage facilities—with a practical guide for quickly and accurately identifying the extensive, detailed, and complicated Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements that apply to their operations. Featuring new compliance and training "tips," this complete desk reference is easy to read and easy to understand. In plain English, it summarizes and explains the federal requirements, provides practical guidance for developing effective management programs that comply with those requirements, and walks readers through the steps to compliance. Each step includes a straightforward explanation of the requirement and detailed annotations for easy cross-referencing of the Title 40 CFR Parts that support each requirement. A perfect companion to legal references on the RCRA regulations, Managing Your Hazardous Wastes provides facility managers with practical guidance for every day management and training issues. It also provides detailed instructions for universal waste handlers, used oil handlers, and recyclers, and it includes general guidance for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. This edition contains all the newest changes made to RCRA regulations, including new exclusions, new Universal Waste rules, Used Oil Management Standards, and Air Emissions Standards.
