What is a RCRA Compliance Evaluation Inspection?
The Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) is the primary compliance monitoring mechanism for assessing compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which establishes requirments for handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. CEIs are routine inspections of hazardous waste generators, transporters, and waste generators, transporter, and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to evaluate compliance with the requirements of RCRA. The applicable RCRA standards can be found in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 260 – 270. Authorized States have regulations that are at least as stringent as these standards.
