Can you determine whether a given waste is a hazardous waste regulated by EPA under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)? This course covers a very organized approach to answering just that question, starting with determining whether your waste is considered a "solid waste" under the RCRA regulations and moving on to determining if it fits one of the RCRA requirements for being a hazardous waste.
Topics: The hazardous waste identification process The definition of hazardous waste Listed hazardous wastes Characteristic hazardous wastes The 'mixture' and 'derived-from' rules The 'contained-in' policy.
Intended Audience: primarily for environmental civil, and chemical engineers. Someone completing this course will gain knowledge about procedures for determining whether a given waste is a RCRA hazardous waste.
