RCRA Corrective Action
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) addresses
waste management at operating facilities. The RCRA Corrective Action
program manages response actions at these sites. RCRA Corrective Action
guidance is generally consistent with CERCLA to the extent practicable,
and may find application at CERCLA sites.
Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs)
Land Disposal Restrictions
In 1984, Congress created EPA's Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) program.
The LDR program ensures that toxic constituents present in hazardous waste
are properly treated before hazardous waste is disposed of in the ground.
This web page provides comprehensive information about LDRs including
a selection of OSWER guidance documents.
"Superfund LDR Guide #1: Overview of RCRA Land Disposal Restrictions" (July 1989)
Summarizes the major components of RCRA LDRs, outlines
the types of restrictions imposed, and presents compliance options specified
in the regulation. [5 pp]

"Superfund LDR Guide #2: Complying with the California List Restrictions
Under Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs)" (July 1989)
Defines the California list of wastes, summarizes their
restrictions, and discusses their potential to overlap with other LDR
treatment standards. [2 pp]

"Superfund LDR Guide #3: Treatment Standards and Minimum Technology
Requirements Under Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs)" (July 1989)

standards, and outlines procedures for compliance with the treatment standards
and minimum technology requirements set during national capacity extensions.

Treatability Variance for Remedial Actions" (September 1990)
Outlines the process for utilizing a Treatability Variance
for the remediation of soil and debris contaminated with RCRA hazardous
wastes. Until the the Agency promulgates treatment standards for them,
the treatment levels outlined will serve as alternative 'treatment standards'
to obtain compliance with LDRs. [6 pp]

land disposal restrictions (LDRs) established under the Hazardous and
Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) are applicable to an on-site CERCLA response
action. [2 pp]
