Organizations involved with excess hazardous chemical materials must conform to the provisions of the Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 40 CFR Parts 260 to 265, as most recently amended. In 1984, the Hazardous and Sohd Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984 required that the EPA ban the land disposal of over 400 waste streams unless the wastes are treated or unless it could be demonstrated that there would be no migration of the waste while the waste remains hazardous. The portion of these rules covering dioxin and solvents went into effect on November 8, 1986. Although there was a partial...

The two main federal agencies involved in the protection of human health and the environment are the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). EPA s principal concern is the protection of the environment, in most cases, the area outside of an industrial faciUty. There are 10 regional offices that carry out the regulatory functions of the agency (Table 1). Primary laws covered by EPA are the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), the Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and LiabiUty Act (CERCLA), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and Eederal Insecticide, Eungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

In the United States, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) is the major legislation covering the disposal of solid and hazardous wastes (2). This act provides a multifaceted approach to solving the problems associated with the generation of approximately 5 billion metric tons of solid waste each year in the United States. It places particular emphasis on the regulation of hazardous wastes. This law established the Office of Solid Waste within the Environmental Protection Agency and directed the agency to publish hazardous waste characteristics and criteria. 

Standard for gauging flammability. The most common systems for designating flammability are the Department of Transportation (DOT) definitions, the National Fire Protection Association s (NFPA) system, and the Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act s (RCRA) definition of ignitable wastes, all of which use flashpoint in their schemes. The NFPA diamond, which comprises the backbone of the NFPA Hazard Signal System, uses a four-quadrant diamond to display the... 

Today resource limitations have caused the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to reassess schedules for new rules. A 1987 USEPA survey indicated there were approximately 202,000 public water systems in the United States. About 29 percent of these were community water systems, which serve approximately 90 percent of the population. Of the 58,908 community systems that serve about 226 million people, 51,552 were classified as "small" or "very small." Each of these systems at an average serves a population of fewer than 3300 people. The total population served by these systems is approximately 25 million people. These figures provide us with a magnitude of scale in meeting drinking water demands in the United States. Compliance with drinking water standards is not...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal, state and local authorities govern security of supply in relation to quantity for surface and groundwater by the granting of an abstraction license. The license limits the total daily quantity and the rate at which the waters may be abstracted, taking account of the natural resource and the needs of other abstractors. Metered water supply is subject to contract with the water companies, who may impose quantity and draw-off rate limitations. The limitations imposed by the license or contract may influence plant location.

Finally, to avoid the parallel use of similar but not identical method validation studies to fulfil the registration requirements, e.g., of the EU, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Japanese authorities, an adaptation of different data requirements for residue analytical methods for post-registration control and monitoring purposes would help to save resources.

Hydrogen-enriched natural gas buses are expected to meet the California Air Resources Board s transit emissions requirements. They also pave the way for a hydrogen infrastructure that can support fuel cells for transportation. The use of hydrogen powered buses and infrastructure facilities conforms with the goals of the California Fuel Cell Partnership, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
