As part of its strategy to gather information on the nation's ability to treat, store, dispose, and recycle hazardous wastes, the U.S. EPA has conducted national surveys. This article describes the results of the recently completed 1986 National Screening Survey of Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, Disposal, and Recycling Facilities. The EPA's Office of Solid Waste (OSW) conducted this survey to collect preliminary data necessary to select a sample for a more detailed follow-up survey - the National Survey of Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, Disposal, and Recycling Facilities. To begin the screening survey, the EPA assembled the best information available on the current population of both commercial and noncommercial treatment, storage, disposal, and recycling facilities (TSDRs) in the United States. This was used to develop a single, comprehensive list of TSDR facilities. The project team merged relevant data from these sources, eliminated duplicate entries, matched corresponding partial entries, and researched discrepancies among similar entries.
