Assuming no previous knowledge, this book provides
comprehensive coverage for a first course in hazardous waste
management for civil, environmental engineers, and managers.
It is written primarily for generators of hazardous waste
with a primary emphasis on source reduction, waste
minimization, reuse, and recycling before waste disposal.
Numerous case studies from the field and clarification of
regulations simplify this complex topic. The book provides
guidance on how to determine the proper category of
hazardous waste generators, with separate and distinct sets
of requirements for the three different categories of
generators, and gives basic supplemental guidance for
transporters, storage, and disposal facilities. It covers
proper completion of hazardous waste manifests and reports.
The book explains record keeping, personnel training, and
other requirements necessary to be in full compliance on
inspections. A companion CD with regulatory forms, data is
included.
