This document is prepared in response to the requirement of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and the Hazardous and Solid Waste amendments of 1984. It presents a plan reflecting the commitment of ORNL management to the reduction of hazardous waste generation and minimization of generated waste to reduce impacts on human health and the environment. Economically practicable waste reduction/minimization techniques including waste abatement; recycling; good housekeeping; and in-plant treatment are discussed. Methods used to promote awareness and recognition of the waste minimization effort are also discussed.
