In 1980, the EPA completed final rules on compliance with RCRA. This chapter has discussed a few of these provisions. Most of the regulations deal with the estimated 20,000 large quantity generators (LQGs) of hazardous waste. LQGs are those producing 1000kg per month or more of waste. 

A large-quantity generator is a facility that produces 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste or one kilogram of acutely hazardous waste per month. Large-quantity generators are allowed to accumulate hazardous waste for 90 days. If the hazardous waste must be transported more than 200 miles, the generator is allowed to accumulate hazardous waste for 180 days (U.S. EPA, 1991).

RCRA and Superfund hazardous wastes from various industries are shown in Table 3.7, which includes the amount of waste, the number of facilities, and a general description.

The overwhelming portion of this quantity, well over 99 percent, was managed by large quantity generators (over 1000 kilograms per month).
