| RCRA |
| |
| The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) is a federal regulatory scheme that is designed to manage and regulate hazardous and non-hazardous waste from "cradle to grave." Largely prospective in nature, RCRA covers the storage, treatment, and disposal of waste materials at industrial, commercial, agricultural, and mining sites and facilities. It also covers operations at waste and water treatment plants and air pollution control facilities. Title III of RCRA governs the permitting and notice requirements for hazardous waste generators and handlers. Hazardous wastes, which must be solid wastes, are defined and categorized in this portion of RCRA. Criminal sanctions are available if these provisions are violated.

That waiting period allows the Department or the Commission time to review the transaction for its potential effect on competition before deciding what enforcement action, if any, will be taken.More... |
