Description:
This Handbook facilitates the preparation and processing of land disposal permit applications. It directs the regulated community and the regulators to the appropriate EPA technical resource documents, as they prepare or review permits required under PL 480 (RCRA). Topics discussed in detail include: foundations, dike integrity and slope stability, liner systems, cover systems, and run on/runoff controls. While the subjects addressed in this Handbook are those that frequently arise in preparing and reviewing permit applications, the information and references provided may also be useful in designing and operating land disposal facilities, both hazardous and nonhazardous.
