Abstract |
This two-page informational document, from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management, briefly describes some of the State's hazardous waste programs carried out by it's Office of Safe Waste Management. The five programs described are the hazardous waste facility siting program, public participation program, source reduction/technical assistance, small quantity generator program, and household hazardous waste programs. The program on source reduction provides economic analyses of hazardous waste management; engineering analyses to participating plating companies to improve compliance and reduce waste; and a program to assist POTWs in reducing the discharge of contaminants to sewer systems through source reduction. The Office of Safe Waste Management also will provide technical assistance (over the telephone) and make available written materials identifying a variety of source reduction alternatives. |
