Hazardous Waste Generator Regulations Compendium

In March 2021, EPA made available the first six volumes of its Hazardous Waste Generator Regulations Compendium. The compendium is a user-friendly guide that can assist regulators, the regulated community, and the general public in finding resources addressing specific issues within the hazardous waste generator program. Inside each volume is a list of pertinent RCRA Online documents, Federal Register notices, CFR citations, and web links. A particularly convenient aspect of the compendium is how information is hyperlinked and cross-referenced to improve ease-of-access. The six current volumes of information include:

Satellite accumulation areas,
Generator EPA identification numbers,
Cogeneration issues,
Household hazardous waste,
Personnel training at small and large quantity generators, and
Generator treatment in tanks and containers.
