Waste
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) program deals with solid waste (e.g., garbage), hazardous waste, and underground storage tanks. The RCRA regulations are intended to ensure proper operation of solid waste landfills and underground storage tank systems, cleanup of certain hazardous waste sites, and safe operation of facilities that generate, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste. EPA's Region 2 Superfund program also deals with cleanup of hazardous sites.To request an additional information on the Waste Program, visit the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Web site.
