Frequently Asked Questions

Browse our frequently asked questions to learn more about RCRA- and CERCLA remediation projects. If you have specific questions, please reach out to our team directly.

Administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), RCRA and CERCLA are federal laws governing the management of hazardous waste in the United States. Yet, these guidelines differ significantly in terms of priorities and purpose.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 focuses on regulating the routine management of hazardous materials, including their treatment, storage and disposal. The law aims to prevent environmental harm caused by hazardous waste — from its generation to its ultimate disposal.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act targets the long-term remediation of hazardous waste sites. These regulations address the cleanup of historical contamination and the prevention of future risks.

With deep knowledge and experience in both public and private sector remediation strategies, TRC delivers comprehensive solutions that align the unique regulatory challenges associated with RCRA and CERCLA. Our end-to-end approach provides many benefits to organizations in need of remediation and hazardous materials management, including:

 

  • Custom strategies tailored to your site-specific risks
  • Unparalleled expertise in environmental stewardship and sustainability practices
  • Anticipation and adaptation to evolving risks and regulatory changes
  • Protection from environmental liability
