Abstract |
The purpose of the analysis was to assess the human health risks associated with: (1) the population of hazardous waste tanks under the current regulatory approach; and (2) the population of hazardous waste tanks under the various regulatory strategies considered in the analysis included interim status and permitted hazardous waste tanks, 90-day accumulation tanks, and small quantity generator interim status, permitted or 180-day accumulation tanks. The regulatory alternatives examined in the analysis included no revisions, full secondary containment, partial secondary containment and ground water monitoring, leak testing and ground water monitoring, and corrosion protection. Analysis of these regulatory alternatives allows for direct comparisons between risks presented by hazardous waste tanks under alternative regulatory scenarios. |
