ABSTRACT
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) outlines the federal regulatory requirements that apply to Siting, Design, Operation and Closure of Hazardous Waste Management Units. Location Standards that apply to Land-based Hazardous Waste Management Units include considerations for seismic hazards and satisfactory mitigation of locations in flood-plains. Unsuitable site characteristics include prohibitions for locations in wetlands, recharge zones of sole-source aquifers and highly permeable geologic formations. A case study is provided to review location standards for permitting of a Mixed Waste Landfill in West Texas.
