Guidance Manual for the Identification of Hazardous Wastes Delivered to Publicly Owned Treatment Works by Truck, Rail, or Dedicated Pipe, June 1987 833/B-87-100 ERIC W202 NTIS PB92-149251. [Pg.153]

The hazardous waste identification regulations that define the characteristics of toxicity, ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and the tests for these characteristics, differ from state to state. In addition, concentration limits may be set out by a state for selected persistent and bioaccumulative toxic substances that commonly occur in hazardous substances. For example, the California Hazardous Waste Control Act requires the California State Department of Health Services (CDHS) to develop and adopt by regulation criteria and guidelines for the identification of hazardous wastes and extremely hazardous wastes. [Pg.65]

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Administered by the EPA, the RCRA is the most important act governing the disposal of hazardous wastes in the United States it promulgates standards for identification of hazardous wastes, their transportation, and their disposal. Included in the last are siting and construction criteria for landfills and other disposal facilities as well as the regulation of owners and operators of such facilities. [Pg.538]

Additional regulations to aid in the identification of hazardous waste are given in the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 261.3, 1999). [Pg.1078]

Section 3001. This section requires the EPA to develop criteria for identification of hazardous waste materials. It also requires the EPA to develop a list of substances meeting these criteria. That list began to define hazardous waste. [Pg.392]

Assessment Phase The assessment phase aims to collect data needed to identify and analyze pollution-prevention opportunities. Assessment of the facility s waste-reduction needs includes the examination of hazardous waste streams, process operations, and the identification of techniques that often promise the reduction of waste generation. Information is often derived from obsei vations made during a facihty walk-through, interviews with employees (e.g., operators, line workers), and review of site or regulatory records. One professional organization suggests the following information sources be reviewed, as available (Ref. 7) ... [Pg.2166]

Hazardous waste identification To facilitate the proper identification and classification of hazardous waste, RCRA begins with hazardous waste identification procedures. [Pg.431]

This chapter will introduce the entire hazardous waste identification process, but will focus particularly on the final steps and the characteristics and properties of hazardous wastes. After reading this chapter, one will be able to understand the hazardous waste identification process and the definition of hazardous waste, and be familiar with the following concepts ... [Pg.486]

The final steps in the hazardous waste identification process determine whether a waste poses a sufficient chemical or physical hazard to merit regulation. These steps in the hazardous waste identification process involve evaluating the waste in light of the regulatory definition of hazardous waste. The remainder of this chapter explains the definition, characteristics, and properties of hazardous wastes. [Pg.487]

The waste typically exhibits one of the four characteristics of hazardous waste described in the hazardous waste identification regulations (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity). [Pg.501]
