General Hazardous Waste Facility Standards (Renewal)

Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develop standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs) as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment. Subsections 3004(a) (1), (3), (4), (5) and (6) specify that these standards include, but not be limited to, the following requirements: Maintaining records of all hazardous wastes identified or listed under Subtitle C that are treated, stored, or disposed of, and the manner in which such wastes were treated, stored, or disposed of; Operating methods, techniques, and practices for treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste; Location, design, and construction of such hazardous waste treatment, disposal, or storage facilities; Contingency plans for effective action to minimize unanticipated damage from any treatment, storage, or disposal of any such hazardous waste; and Maintaining or operating such facilities and requiring such additional qualifications as to ownership, continuity of operation, training for personnel, and financial responsibility as may be necessary or desirable. The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Parts 264 and 265. A brief summary of the information collection requirements associated with each TSDF regulation for the above areas is provided below. A more specific discussion of the data elements and respondent activities associated with each of the information collection requirements is presented in Section 4.
