RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOLS

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) provides"cradle-to-grave" control of solid and hazardous waste by establishing management requirements on generators and transporters of hazardous waste and on owners and operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. RCRA mainly applies to active facilities, although through Section 7003, it can address the serious problem of abandoned and inactive facilities. These abandoned facilities also may be covered under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Federal RCRA regulations are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR parts 240-282. Below are available checklists and audit protocols to help organizations determine their compliance with RCRA.
