E – 1131 Hazardous Waste Identification

Can you determine whether a given waste is a hazardous waste regulated by EPA under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) ? This course covers a very organized approach to answering just that question, starting with determining whether your waste is considered a “solid waste” under the RCRA regulations and moving on to determining if it fits one of the RCRA requirements for being a hazardous waste.

This course is intended primarily for environmental, civil, and chemical engineers.  Someone completing this course will gain knowledge about procedures for determining whether a given waste is a RCRA hazardous waste.

In this course, you need to review the material in the course content file, consisting of the document, “Introduction to Hazardous Waste Identification” (EPA530-K-05-012).  Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions to earn 2 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
