摘要

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Handbook was developed for the printing and publishing industries to provide assistance in complying with pertinent sections of the RCRA requirements. Printing operations are summarized and the characteristics of wastes generated and general waste management practices are described. How these waste types may be subject to the RCRA and Administrative Rules of Montana regulations based on how they are managed and on their specific characteristics is outlined. The RCRA generator requirements are discussed, while waste management strategies for minimizing the amount of hazardous waste generated by printing businesses are described. Appendix A is a listing of acute and toxic hazardous wastes used for regulatory purposes (F, P, and U wastes). Appendix B provides a summary of RCRA characteristic wastes. Appendix C contains a list of references and contacts for obtaining more information about hazardous wastes and their regulation.
