Abstract |
For this 2003 National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report, EPA has included all data that was identified by the State or implementing EPA office for inclusion in the Report, with the following two (2) exceptions: 1) hazardous waste received from off site for storage/bulking and subsequently transferred off site for treatment or disposal is excluded from generation quantities; and 2) hazardous waste that is stored, bulked, and/or transferred off site with no prior treatment/recovery, fuel blending, or disposal at the site is excluded from management quantities. In addition, Biennial Reports prior to 2001 only included management and receipts from permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The 2003 National Biennial Report includes management and receipts data from both permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facilities and generators that are not required to be permitted (e.g., those that recycle solvent hazardous waste generated on-site). |
