What this entry covers
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) establishes the framework for a national system of solid waste control and gives EPA authority to control hazardous waste from cradle to grave: its generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal. EPA’s hazardous waste regulations are in 40 CFR Parts 260 through 273, within RCRA regulations spanning Parts 239 through 282, and EPA may authorize states to implement key hazardous waste provisions in place of the federal program.
MyRHC indexes this framework so practitioners, auditors, and automated agents can find the authoritative primary sources in one place. This page is a navigation aid; it is not legal advice and is not a substitute for the official text.
