Managing Wastes: Regulation, Cleanup, and Enforcement
Regional RCRA Information
In Region 4, RCRA matters are handled by one of three Branches: the RCRA Programs and Materials Management Branch; the Restoration and Underground Storage Tanks Branch; or the RCRA Oil Pollution Act and Enforcement and Compliance Branch. The RCRA Programs and Materials Management Branch implements the EPA’s resource conservation and recycling initiatives, State authorization procedures, permitting of hazardous waste management facilities, and award of financial assistance. The Restoration and Underground Storage Tanks Branch protects the environment against releases of hazardous fuels and wastes by negotiating remedial measures for the clean-up of contaminants. The RCRA Oil Pollution Act and Enforcement and Compliance Branch inspects regulated facilities for compliance with RCRA regulations and provides compliance assistance, when appropriate. The federal regulations comprising the federal hazardous waste management program are found in 40 CFR Parts 260 through 299.
