Abstract

This report is the 5th in a series of reports detailing waste and residual and management practices in the refining sector. It presents the results of the 1992-1993 survey and includes information on how the industry has achieved compliance with the land disposal restrictions on RCRA listed hazardous K-wastes (K0448-K052). It also documents the influence of the Primary Sludge rule and new Toxicity Characteristic under RCRA.
