Hazardous Waste Management

Federal law regulating the management of solid and hazardous wastes can be found in many different acts of Congress. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) affects waste management, as does the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). No single comprehensive federal law for solid and hazardous waste management exists, although RCRA touches on most of the major issues. This is EDIS document FE442, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Recovery Act

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) manages all aspects of solid and hazardous wastes. RCRA has separate requirements for generators of wastes, transporters of wastes, and owner/operators of facilities for treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste. The requirements of RCRA include: permitting by EPA and exhaustive recordkeeping. The requirements are intended to track the movement and handling of the waste until it reaches final disposal. This is known as the cradle-to-grave approach to monitoring wastes. This is EDIS document FE444, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) was enacted in 1980, and later amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) in 1986. CERCLA empowers EPA to investigate and cleanup abandoned sites contaminated by hazardous substances and provides a trust fund for that purpose. CERCLA extends liability for site pollution to several classes of potential defendants at once. It is a powerful measure for forcing responsible parties to contribute to the costs of cleanup. This is EDIS document FE445, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Hazardous Waste Management

Waste management is one of the vital environmental issues since last few decades. It has been noted that the generation of waste increases with increasing population, industrialization and urbanization etc. The waste management strategy includes both non-hazardous and hazardous waste management. Non-hazardous waste does not cause potential threat to environment but instead hazardous waste is the waste that poses substantial or potential threats to public health and the environment. Rapidly growing industrial sector has contributed to the generation of large quantity of hazardous waste material. Therefore, to reduce environmental hazard, proper attention is required during storage, segregation, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste, because it cannot be disposed as off in the environment. This study explains about hazardous wastes, types and management.

Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act to assure that the workplace environment is safe and healthy. To fulfill this purpose, OSHA authorized the Secretary of Labor, who is the head of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, to set and enforce safety standards for employees working in dangerous circumstances such as handling hazardous wastes.
