Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste

This regulation defines what materials qualify as hazardous waste subject to regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. A solid waste is hazardous if it exhibits any of four characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity, or if it is specifically listed by EPA.

Generators, transporters, and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities must comply with specific requirements for managing hazardous waste from generation to final disposal, known as cradle-to-grave management.
