Land Disposal Restrictions Answer Book: A Summary of EPA Requirements

This EPA answer book provides waste generators, transporters, treatment facilities, and storage facilities with an easy-to-reference summary of land disposal restrictions (LDR) regulations found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40 Part 268. Because of its convenient question-answer format, this Answer Book clarifies the requirements of the LDR program while reducing the amount of effort you would spend retrieving such information. It identifies the key components of the LDR program, including defining who is subject to the program, identifying wastes as hazardous, determining which disposal treatment standard or alternative standard applies to a facility's hazardous wastes, treating hazardous waste in compliance with the requirements, and determining which records a company must prepare, submit, and keep. Throughout the text, the authors reference specific subsections of 40 CFR 268, which is included in its entirety as an appendix along with other related EPA documents.
