5.1.2 RCRA SITES (INCLUSIVE OF CORRACT, TSD, NOTIFIERS, VIOLATORS) The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. RR 6901-6992k, provides the basic framework for federal regulation of hazardous waste. RCRA Controls the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste through a Comprehensive cradle to grave system of hazardous waste management techniques and requirements. RCRA [Pub. L. No. 94-580, 90 Stat. 2795 (1976)] was adopted in 1976 as a revision and expansion of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA) of 1965, which, until then, had focused on disposal of municipal solid wastes. RCRA introduced a detailed nationwide program for management of hazardous wastes. Subsequent amendments, most notably the 1980 Solid Waste Disposal Act Amendments [Pub. L. No. 96- 463, 90 Stat. 1982 (1976)] and the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), have refined this regulatory framework and introduced new substantive requirements. RCRA is administered nationally by the EPA, with major components of the law delegated to the states for ongoing implementation. Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD) facilities are subject to extensive regulation under RCRA. According to RCRA, a TSD facility is one that stores (for more than 90 days), treats, or otherwise disposes of solid wastes on site. Permit requirements are defined in 40 C.F.R. part 270. Proposed facilities must file the RCRA Part A and Part B permit applications simultaneously. The appropriate state or federal agency must then issue the permits no less than 180 days before Construction of the TSD facility begins. Corrective Action Reports (CORRACTS) identify hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities and other RCRIS facilities (due to past interim status or storage of hazardous waste beyond 90 days) that have been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to undertake corrective action under RCRA. CORRACT sites are also referred to as Handlers. The RCRIS database was searched for all RCRA sites in the vicinity of the subject property. The applicable search radius is determined by the type of RCRA site, as follows: All RCRA Nofdiers (non -Violators, non-TSDs) within 500 feet All RCRA Violators within a half -mile All RCRA TSD facilities within a mile RCRA generators are categorized as to the quantity of non -acutely hazardous waste generated monthly. The generator categories are: LQG Large Quantity Generator- at least 1000 Kg./mo. SQG Small Quantity Generator- between 100 and 1000 Kg./mo. CESQG Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator- less than 100 Kg./mo. N Not a generator N/L Not listed A review of the RCRA database revealed one site in the vicinity of the subject property. Neither the subject property nor adjacent properties were identified as RCRA sites. RCRA I.D.
