Situations That Require RCRA Permits for TSDFs

The situations for hazardous waste facilities differ widely. For example, some facilities have been in operation for decades while others are brand new. Some facilities treat hazardous waste using combustion, and other facilities are limited to research and development. Different factors such as these determine the type of permit that a TSDF must have. The different types of permits include RCRA operating permits, interim status permits, standardized permits, and special forms of permits. The typical RCRA permit is effective for a period of up to ten years.
