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.

TSDFs and large quantity generators must comply with personnel training requirements. 

Facility personnel must take part in an annual review of their initial training which allows

to know for solid hazardous waste management practices. Training is only part of the system.
