Playing roulette with hazardous waste.

Modern Casting | October 1, 1991| | Copyright

You're you playing roulette with Your hazardous waste? If you are betting that you won't be caught or that the fines will only be a few thousand dollars, you could find out that the stakes are much higher. You could be wagering the entire foundry.

Many foundries, which did not intend to do so, have become hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal (TSD) facilities subject to the full Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations. As such, they have been required to either apply for an RCRA permit or "close" the regulated activity that gave rise to the ...
