Attendees should have had the basic "Hazardous Waste Management for Generators" course prior to attending this one.

You Will:

Meet the RCRA requirement for annual training for hazardous waste generators
Practice identifying hazardous wastes and assigning waste codes based on test analyses
Learn how to assign and understand LDR requirements
Learn how to write contingency plans and what they should include
Understand reporting requirements for large quantity generators
Understand Subpart CC air emission requirements for hazardous wastes
Participate in exercises designed to generate understanding of hazardous waste requirements beyond the basics

Topics Covered Include:

Review of basic regulation requirements for all hazardous waste generators
Identifying hazardous wastes and assigning waste codes
LDR determinations from tables in regulations
Contingency plan requirements for hazardous waste
Biennial reporting requirements
Hazardous waste spill reporting requirements
Subpart CC air emission regulations
