In several guidance documents, EPA has addressed the issue of managing wastes generated during investigative and design phases of RCRA and CERCLA site remediation. Hands-on experience in implementing this guidance has led to a practical understanding of the problems associated with investigation-derived waste (IDW), as well as some real-world solutions. Two papers discussing IDW issues and some specific approaches to characterization and management of this type of waste were presented at the Superfund XV conference, which was held November 29-December 1, 1994 in Washington, D.C. The papers are entitled: {open_quotes}Regulatory and Management Requirements for Investigation-Derived Waste Generated During Environmental Investigations and Cleanups.{close_quotes} presented by Mary Beth Clary of Woodward-Clyde Consultants (Denver, Colorado); and {open_quotes}A Practical and Cost-Effective Strategy for Managing Investigation Derived Materials/Wastes,{close_quotes} presented by J.A. Carver of Woodward-Clyde Federal Services (Denver, Colorado) and L.M. Brooks of EG&G Rocky Flats, Inc. (Golden, Colorado). 3 refs., 1 fig.
