- Abstract
- This report presents an in-depth summary of the Land Disposal Restrictions, and an analysis of non-wastewater hazardous waste generation and off-site disposal methods in North Carolina. The purpose was to analyze the impact that the Land Disposal Restrictions would have on the need for incineration capacity, if any, for the State. It is important to realize that hazardous waste generation and management, both in the State and in the nation, are in a constant state of flux, and are subject to variables in reporting and in State and Federal regulations and policies. This report was based on the most recent information available, which was 1990. The next two chapters provide background material describing the details of the Land Disposal Restrictions. The intent was to present the regulations in a condensed and more easily understood format than the codified version. It is hoped that this summary will assist groups, such as the Commission or committees of the North Carolina General Assembly, who need a version of the regulation that can be easily understood. Chapter 4 briefly discusses incineration as a technology and as a treatment option. Chapter 5 presents an analysis of the generation and off-site management of wastes in North Carolina during 1990 as provided by the Hazardous Waste Section, and an analysis examining the potential impact of the Land Disposal Restrictions on the future of waste management in the State. The focus is on the potential need for greater incineration or fuel substitution capacity. The final chapter presents conclusions and recommendations based on this research. There are also six appendices. Appendix A presents details of the methodology used to calculate the effects of the Land Disposal Restrictions on North Carolina's need for greater incineration capacity. Appendices BE present detailed accounts of the hazardous waste codes that were used in the analysis presented in Chapter 5, and appendix F lists the wastes that were regulated by the Land Disposal Restrictions for which incineration was either a required treatment technology, or the concentration-based standard was based on incineration, but were not generated in North Carolina in 1990.
