Public. RCRA Online is an electronic database that indexes thousands of letters, memoranda, publications, and questions and answers issued by EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR). RCRA Online documents represent past EPA Headquarters interpretations of the RCRA regulations governing the management of solid, hazardous, and medical waste. RCRA Online allows users to locate documents by browsing topics or performing full text or advanced searches. RCRA Online also allows users to view the actual text of the documents identified in a search.

This EPA manual provides introductory information on the solid and hazardous waste management programs under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Designed for EPA and State staff, members of the regulated community, and the general public who wish to better understand RCRA, this document constitutes ad review of the RCRA program and is not a substitute for RCRA or its implementing regulations.
