Summary

"A very well-written handbook." --Ground Water (on the Second Edition) "Presented in a very readable and understandable format." --The Hazardous Waste Consultant (on the Second Edition) The foremost in-depth survey of federal hazardous waste regulations in the United States--now in a new edition The Complete Guide to the Hazardous Waste Regulations is a proven source of clear information on a regulatory system that many find frustratingly complex. Now updated to include additional compliance checklists, Internet resources, and more, this Third Edition provides vital information on all aspects of hazardous materials, from proper on-site management and transportation to appropriate off-site management and cleanup. Author Travis Wagner, one of the nation's leading experts on the subject, provides a step-by-step approach to compliance that goes beyond summarization to help industry professionals truly understand regulations and how they relate to real-world situations. Complete with dozens of user-friendly checklists, flow charts, text boxes, and tables, this indispensable resource includes: * Information on EPA interpretations of regulations not included in other handbooks * Clear explanations of many state-level hazardous waste requirements * A new chapter on spill reporting, giving a step-by-step explanation with attention to multiple federal laws * An appendix listing the Superfund and EPCRA reportable quantity for each RCRA hazardous waste * Additional appendices covering RCRA hazardous wastes, hazardous constituents, groundwater monitoring constituents, permit modification classifications, additional information sources, and important acronyms
