Description:   The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had not settled many of the topics regarding the regulation of wastes containing cyanide. Cyanide regulations were analyzed and discussed in the areas pertaining to environmental evaluations, surface water and solid waste.  In order to solve cyanide waste disposal problems, some necessary programs must be implemented.  These included: an evaluation to decide which cyanide wastes were harmful, better analytical methods for highly concentrated waste and procedures to determine the toxicity of the water in complex waste.
