Which agency is primarily involved in regulating hazardous waste under the RCRA?

  1. The Department of Defense

  2. The State Environmental Agency

  3. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

  4. Local Government Authorities

The correct answer is: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the primary agency involved in regulating hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The RCRA was enacted to manage hazardous waste and ensure proper waste disposal practices to protect human health and the environment. The EPA establishes regulations, sets standards for hazardous waste management, and oversees compliance to ensure that waste is treated, stored, and disposed of safely. While other entities, such as State Environmental Agencies and local government authorities, play significant roles in managing hazardous waste at their respective levels, their regulations often operate within the framework established by the EPA. The Department of Defense may also have specific waste management protocols due to its operations, but overall regulatory authority lies with the EPA.
