Hazardous wastes handbook. Third edition
Third Edition of the Handbook analyzes developments under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund) through 31 August 1981. Since that time, the United States Environmental Protection Agency has continued to make revisions to its programs. The nature, scope, and a complete list of these revisions (through 30 April 1982) are included in an update, which precedes the main body of the handbook. The main body of the handbook is made up of two sections. Discussion in the first section (RCRA hazardous wastes analysis) is presented under the following chapter headings: overview of the RCRA: the Hazardous Waste Program; the identification of hazardous waste; notification of hazardous waste management activities; generators of hazardous waste; transporters of hazardous waste; the regulation of hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal (T/S/D) facilities; permit requirements under RCRA; authorization of states to implement a RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste management program; inspection and enforcement; and, Superfund legislation. Section two is made up of the provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 as amended by the Quiet Communities Act of 1978, the Used Oil Recycling Act of 1980, and the Solid Waste Disposal Act Amendments of 1980.
