Abstract |
This document is one of a series providing support for regulations issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The regulations represent the initial effort for nationwide control of hazardous waste from point of generation, through transportation, treatment, and storage, to point of ultimate disposal. The purpose of this analysis is not to raise issues amply discussed in the Preambles accompanying the regulations. Rather, it summarizes the alternatives considered and selected for the regulations and the impacts of the regulations. |
