RCRA Permit Policy Compendium - The electronic version of the RCRA Permit Policy Compendium (RPPC) is no longer available. However, all documents previously contained in the RPPC can now be accessed through RCRA Online, an electronic database that contains thousands of letters, memoranda, and questions and answers by EPA's Office of Solid Waste (OSW). EPA merged the RPPC into RCRA Online to provide the regulated community with a "one-stop" access to information.
To obtain a hard copy of the RPPC, contact Norma Abdul-Malik at (703) 308-8753 or by email at Abdul-Malik.Norma@epa.gov.

Minimization/Pollution Prevention
The National Waste Minimization Program promotes a long-term national effort to minimize the generation of hazardous chemicals in wastes regulated by EPA. It emphasizes source reduction and environmentally sound recycling over waste treatment and disposal. For information on EPA Region 2's involvement in this program, please call Joseph Malki at 212-637-4101 or email him at malki.joseph@epa.gov
Waste Minimization and Resources Programs - technical resources, programs and projects.
EPA Region 2's Pollution Prevention (P2) Office promotes natural resource conservation and pollutant elimination/reduction through more efficient use of materials, energy, water and land. P2 efforts are integrated into a wide range of EPA Region 2 activities, including compliance assistance, enforcement, and voluntary environmental programs.
