Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) gives EPA the authority to control
hazardous waste from the "cradle-to-grave." This includes the generation, transportation,
treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA also set forth a framework for
the management of non-hazardous solid wastes. The 1986 amendments to RCRA enabled
EPA to address environmental problems that could result from underground tanks storing
petroleum and other hazardous substances.
