The following discusses both issues in greater detail. 

U.S. EPA s recommendations regarding stack emission tests, which may be performed at hazardous waste combustion facilities for the purpose of supporting MACT standards and multipathway, site-specific risk assessments, where such a risk assessment has been determined to be necessary by the permit authority, can be found in the U.S. EPA document on Risk Burn Guidance for Hazardous Waste Combustion Facilities.32 The applicability of the new standards has been demonstrated in the management of hazardous waste incinerators, whose performance was shown to clearly surpass the regulatory requirements in all tested areas.33...

Community acceptance is usually assessed after the public has had an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed remedial activity. No loud or heavy equipment is associated with the electrokinetic technology, and no substantial quantities of wastes are generated as a result of treatment. When proper operational and safety procedures are followed, hazards to personnel are minimized and the potential for a chemical spill to the environment that might endanger the community is minimal. It is often prudent to involve state regulators, permitting authorities, and the community early in the process to identify and to address their concerns.
