Hazardous waste and materials management plan: a case study

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7018101
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) mandates regulations to trace hazardous wastes from the point of generation through final disposal and to ensure that waste disposal does not pose a threat to humans or the environment. The purpose of this sample hazardous waste and materials management plan is to set forth a typical set of procedures that protect employees and ensure compliance with RCRA. The case-study facility for which this plan was completed is a research instution that generates a relatively small volume of a variety of different wastes. A private waste disposal contractor transports all wastes off-site for treatment or disposal. Wastes are stored on site for 90 days or less so that the facility is not classified as a storage facility under RCRA. Section 2 describes the wastes generated at the case-study facility; Secs. 3, 4, and 6 to 10 present the waste management plan, and Sec. 1 presents recommendations on waste exchanges.
