What is the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)?
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) manages all aspects of solid and hazardous wastes. RCRA has separate requirements for • generators of wastes; • transporters of wastes; • owners/operators of facilities for the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste. The requirements of RCRA include • permitting by EPA; • exhaustive recordkeeping. The requirements are intended to track the movement and handling of the waste until it reaches final disposal. This is known as the “cradle-to-grave” approach to monitoring wastes.
