ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the federal legislative framework and regulatory requirements applicable to treatment of radioactive wastes that are also designated as hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) — “mixed waste.” In addition, the chapter addresses radioactive wastes contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and radioactive and hazardous or toxic remediation-derived waste and environmental media subject to treatment/clean-up requirements under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
