Summary
From the Reviews of the Previous Editions: "...recommended as a readable reference to the large complex
world of hazardous waste regulation." -- Environmental Protection "...presented in a very readable and
understandable format." -- The Hazardous Waste Consultant "...a valuable reference tool because it is
easy to use, and includes clear, concise discussions." -- Bowker's Legal Publishing Review. The transportation
of hazardous materials and disposal have become immense environmental concerns. As a result a number of government
agencies have constructed regulation for manufacturers to follow, which are often confusing and written in complex
legal terminologies. This new edition of a successful publication is designed to help professionals from all disciplines
understand the national hazardous waste regulatory program.
