OSTI ID:5328155

In response to RCRA, EPA issues permits for hazardous-waste land-treatment facilities. RCRA standards require that the owner or operator of a hazardous-waste land-treatment facility demonstrate, prior to application of the waste, that hazardous constituents in the waste can be completely degraded, transformed, or immobilized within the treatment zone, and that human health and the environment are protected by the design and operation strategy used for the waste at the site. Successful performance of the land-treatment demonstration is required in order to obtain a permit under 40 CFR Parts 264 and 270. The document was prepared to give the applicant and the regulatory agency guidance on the information necessary to assist in choosing and implementing the land-treatment demonstration approach.
