Abstract |
The U.S. EPA prepared the booklet for generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities to report their hazardous waste activities for 1991. The information collected will be used to: Provide EPA and the States with an understanding of hazardous waste generation, management, and waste minimization activities in the United States; Help measure the quality of the environment; Assist States in preparing their hazardous waste capacity assurance plans required by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended; Support State and EPA permitting and enforcement activities; and Communicate the findings to the public, primarily through the 1991 National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report. |
