Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) specifically addresses hazardous waste control. This subtitle establishes a framework for managing hazardous waste from its generation to its disposal, ensuring that hazardous materials are handled in a way that protects human health and the environment. It includes regulations for the classification, handling, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste, and it sets forth requirements for treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, as well as significant reporting requirements for generators of hazardous waste. Subtitle C also gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the authority to oversee state programs that manage hazardous waste, ensuring that they meet federal standards. This comprehensive approach helps to minimize the risks associated with hazardous waste and promotes safe and responsible waste management practices.
