Waste Analysis Guidance Manual: The Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of Waste Analysis Guidance For 
Facilities That Burn Hazardous Wastes--Draft.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency announces a draft Waste 
Analysis Guidance For Facilities That Burn Hazardous Wastes for public 
comment. This guidance document was developed by the Office of 
Compliance for facilities that treat and dispose of hazardous wastes by 
using combustion technology as regulated under 40 CFR parts 264 and 
265, subpart O and 40 CFR part 266, subpart H. RCRA was designed to 
ensure that the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and 
disposal of hazardous wastes are conducted in a manner that ``protects 
human health and the environment.'' The cornerstone of the program is 
the ability of facility personnel to properly characterize and identify 
their wastes. This guidance manual is designed to assist the regulated 
community, permit writers and enforcement officials by establishing 
recommended criteria to properly develop and evaluate RCRA waste 
analysis plans at combustion facilities. The Agency is specifically 
soliciting comment on the use of process knowledge to determine feed 
rates of constituents in the absence of analytical data, and the use of 
statistical analysis in establishing feed rate limits.

DATES: EPA will accept public comments on this draft guidance document 
until May 11, 1995.
