	Resource Conservation and Recovery Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), enacted in 1976, is a Federal law of the United States contained in 42 U.S.C. §§6901-6992k.
		The act is similar to the Clean Air Act (USA) (1970) in that it allows the OSW to delegate responsibility for certain wastes to the state level.
		Primarily, RCRA defines hazardous waste and mandates record keeping and reporting necessary to keep track of where such wastes originate, are treated, stored or disposed.

	RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT OF 1976 (SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ACT): Summary from Federal Wildlife Laws Handbook
		Resource conservation: reduction of the amounts of solid waste that are generated, reduction of overall resource consumption and utilization of recovered resources.
		The Act directs the Administrator to adopt regulations for hazardous waste generators as necessary to protect human health and the environment, including requirements that generators use a manifest system to ensure that waste being transported is sent to authorized facilities.
		RCRA is a significant example of a statute which does not refer to authorizations for appropriations for recent years.

	resource - Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
		RCRA authorizes states to take over responsibility for implementing the hazardous waste regulatory program, regulates various hazardous waste recycling activities, regulates underground storage tanks, and restricts the export of hazardous wastes.
		RCRA also sets forth a national policy of reducing or eliminating the generation of hazardous waste in the U.S. and ensuring that those wastes that are generated are managed to minimize their present or future danger to human health and the environment.
		People who knowingly violate various RCRA statutory and regulatory provisions, or knowingly transport, treat, store, dispose of, or export hazardous waste in such a way as to place another person in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury, are potentially subject to criminal penalties (fines and/or imprisonment).

		The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, also known as RCRA (pronounced "rick-rah"), was passed in 1976.
		The law was passed in 1976 in an effort to control all varieties of solid waste disposal, to encourage recy-cling and to promote the use of alternative energy sources, especially those that con-vert waste to energy.
		The major emphasis of the Act is to control hazardous waste disposal "cradle to grave," with most of the regulations pertaining to industrial handling of hazardous materials and wastes.

	Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Summary
		The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), an amendment to the Solid Waste Disposal Act, was enacted in 1976 to address a problem of enormous magnitude—how to safely dispose of the huge volumes of municipal and industrial solid waste generated nationwide.
		The goals set by RCRA were: to protect human health and the environment; to reduce waste and conserve energy and natural resources; to reduce or eliminate the generation of hazardous waste as expeditiously as possible.
		The act is similar to the Clean Air Act (USA) (1970) in that it allows the OSW to delegate responsibility for certain wastes to the state level.

	ECO-INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT: EXAMINING THE BARRIER PRESUMPTION
		The Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA),50 and its regulations distinguishing discarded from recycled materials are commonly cited as serious impediments to EID.
		Meeting RCRA’s subtitle C requirements can be onerous and costly, so the critical threshold issues are determining, first, whether a material is a “solid waste” and, if so, whether it is “hazardous.”140 If it is not a solid waste, it cannot be classified as a hazardous waste, and RCRA does not apply.
		RCRA authorizes EPA to determine when a solid waste is also hazardous, which it has done in a “two-part definition.”172 First, EPA published a list of hazardous wastes, each of which is described and assigned a code.

		The Resource Recovery Act of 1970 changed the whole tone of the legislation from efficiency of disposal to concern with the reclamation of energy and materials from solid waste.
		RCRA also provides for citizen suits both against persons and entities alleged to have violated standards on permit requirements and against EPA in cases where the Administrator has failed to perform an action that is nondiscretionary under the Act.
		P.L. This act exempts hazardous waste from RCRA regulation if it is treated to a point where it no longer exhibits the characteristic that made it hazardous, and is subsequently disposed in a facility regulated under the Clean Water Act or in a Class I deep injection well regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

	P2000: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Overview
		RCRA directs an extremely complex program for managing hazardous waste, in which the primary objectives are to protect human health and the environment.
		The statutory definition of a hazardous waste under RCRA means a solid, liquid, or gaseous waste that may cause or significantly contribute to serious illness or death, or that poses a substantial threat to human health or the environment when the waste is improperly treated, transported, stored, disposed of, or mismanaged in any way.
		As RCRA permitting is required for the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes, interpretation of the derived-from rule is beyond the scope of this overview.
