ABSTRACT
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) and the more recent Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) have mandated the development of innovative technologies for the destruction, treatment, and/or secure containment of hazardous waste as an alternative to land disposal methods currently in use. The Hunter Industrial Facilities, Inc. (HIFI) North Dayton Containment Facility is designed to use innovative technology that will meet the objectives and demands of the hazardous waste regulatory program and the needs of industry for a secure waste containment facility. HIFI has developed and engineered a facility suitable for treated wastes and raw waste streams that cannot be further treated, recycled, in cinerated, or eliminated by improvements in the manufacturing process. The concept of the North Dayton Containment Facility is to isolate treated and solidified waste by containment in a stable geologic salt formation, preventing the release of hazardous constituents into the environment.
