Permit Writers' Guidance Manual for Hazardous Waste Land Storage and Disposal Facilities. Phase 1. Criteria for Location Acceptability and Existing Applicable Regulations

摘要

The 'Permit Writers' Guidance Manual for the Location of Hazardous Waste Land Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities' has three purposes: (1) to provide guidance in defining acceptable physical locations for hazardous waste land treatment, storage, and disposal (HWLTSD) units, (2) to cite available regulations and statutes and how these should be applied in evaluating the acceptability of locations, and (3) to present an outline summary of future Agency efforts to ensure both proper site analysis and safe location of such facilities. The intended audience is EPA Regional Office staff and authorized State Agency personnel who evaluate permit applications under the authority of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Part of a broad program to encourage safe and proper siting of hazardous waste facilities, this manual is the first of a five document series.
