WASTE REDUCTION REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY FOR MANUFACTURERS TO MINIMIZE THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS AND LIABILITIES. THE COMPLEX MAZE OF STATUTES AND REGULATIONS CAN CREATE CONFUSION AND UNCERTAINTY AMONG THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THIS UNCERTAINTY, MANAGEMENT MUST LEARN THE BASIC REGULATORY FRAMEWORK WHICH GOVERNS DAY-TO-DAY HAZARDOUS WASTE COMPLIANCE. THIS BASIC FRAMEWORK INCLUDES STORAGE, DISPOSAL, RELEASE REPORTING, AND LIABILITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP COSTS. THIS PAPER IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE MANAGERS WITH A ROAD-MAP THROUGH THE MAZE OF REGULATIONS TO DISTILL THOSE WHICH DIRECTLY IMPACT THEIR HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS.
