Under the authority of sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, EPA revised the RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a standardized permit. The standardized permit is available to facilities that generate hazardous waste and routinely manage the waste on-site in non-thermal units such as tanks, containers, and containment buildings. In addition, the standardized permit is available to facilities that receive hazardous waste generated off-site by a generator under the same ownership as the receiving facility, and then store or non-thermally treat the hazardous waste in containers, tanks, or containment buildings.
US Code:
42 USC 6925
Name of Law: Solid Waste Disposal Act
This decrease is based on the decrease from the number of respondents from 86 to 1. In the 13 years since the Standardized Permit Rule was finalized, there has only been one such permit issued.
