Caution
This Internet-based module is part of
the training materials produced by EPA for EPA Regional and State
RCRA Corrective Action Program implementers, as well as owners and
operators of facilities subject to RCRA corrective action requirements,
and to the general public. It contains summaries and discussion
of EPA statutory authorities, regulations, and guidance materials.
This module itself, however, does not constitute an EPA statute,
regulation, or guidance document and does not substitute for, or
in any way supplement, any of these authorities or materials. This
module is for training purposes only, and should not be used in
making corrective action decisions at a particular facility. Instead,
parties engaged or interested in RCRA corrective action should consult
EPA's statutes, regulations, and guidance documents directly.
