American industrial facilities generate and dispose of approximately
7.6 billion tons of industrial solid waste each year. EPA, in partnership
with state and tribal representatives, and a focus group of industry
and public interest stakeholders developed a set of recommendations
and tools to assist facility managers, state and tribal regulators,
and the interested public in better addressing the management of
land-disposed, nonhazardous industrial wastes.
The site:
- Provides access to tools and recommendations that can help facility
managers make environmentally responsible decisions, while working
in partnership with state and tribal regulators and the public.
- Serves as an implementation reference tool for regulators to
complement existing programs, and informs the public about actions
they can take to address waste management issues in their community.
- Provides an excellent resource tool to augment curriculum in environmental studies and engineering programs at various academic institutions.
