Section 3004 of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that EPA
develop standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and
disposal as may be necessary to protect human health and the
environment. Subsections 3004(d), (e), and (g) require EPA to
promulgate regulations that prohibit the land disposal of hazardous
waste unless it meets specified treatment standards described in
subsection 3004(m). The regulations implementing these requirements
are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40,
Part 268. EPA requires that facilities maintain this data so the
Agency can ensure that land disposed waste meets the treatment
standards.
There is decrease of 46,358
