The EPA K-list refers to a list of hazardous waste materials identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "K wastes." These wastes are generated from specific industrial processes, particularly in manufacturing and treatment operations. K wastes are regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) due to their potential environmental and health risks. Proper management and disposal of K wastes are essential to prevent contamination and protect public health.
RCRA is also known as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
RCRA courses is designed to explain the history of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), its structure and its key elements that provide the framework for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) comprehensive waste management program. The course discusses the specific requirements of various types of facilities that treat, store, transport or dispose of hazardous waste. OSHA has developed the HAZWOPER (HAZWOPER is an acronym for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) program to protect workers at hazardous sites. These extensive regulations ensure their safety and health when followed correctly.
recycle poos and wees....no, seriously!
In the United States, the disposal of hazardous waste is largely regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and its counterpart agencies in the various state governments. In other countries, other agencies are responsible for this function.
The federal law designed to regulate hazardous waste is the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), enacted in 1976. RCRA governs the management of hazardous waste from its creation to disposal, ensuring that waste is handled safely to protect human health and the environment. It establishes standards for treatment, storage, and disposal facilities and encourages waste minimization and resource recovery. The law is enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and includes provisions for the regulation of underground storage tanks and solid waste management.
