- W793963712 abstract "This final report documents the findings of a research program designed to ascertain the types, amounts, and current methods of disposal of hazardous waste by State highway materials testing laboratories, and to develop guidelines for the best disposal/reclamation technology available. The scope included a survey of States and Canadian provinces to document types and amounts of hazardous waste and current methods of disposal or reclamation, a review of environmental regulations which cover the handling and disposal of wastes generated by the laboratories, and a survey of current technology for disposal and reclamation of laboratory wastes with an emphasis on identifying effective means to reduce disposal problems. The objectives of the survey were to determine what waste products are being produced in the various States and provinces, to learn how such wastes are being handled presently, and to identify new procedures to address the problem of waste disposal. Survey replies indicate that there is broad awareness of the escalating costs and logistical problems associated with waste disposal. Most agencies have implemented changes to reduce the burden imposed by resource recovery legislation. Extraction of asphalt mixtures was found to generate the most solvent waste, but cleaning operations also produce large quantities of waste. Terpene solvents are being successfully used for extraction in at least 12 States, and are under evaluation in several more. The review of environmental regulations affecting the operation of State-affiliated highway materials testing laboratories focused on the identification, handling, and disposal of hazardous waste. Facility classification, waste characterization and disposal issues were addressed. The expected impact of present and future environmental regulation will be to further reduce the use of chlorinated solvents for industrial purposes because of environmental, safety and health concerns. RCRA Reauthorization (currently under review by Congress) is expected to pass, promoting the adoption of recycling and waste minimization practices. Environmental laws will become tougher, better funded, and will retain the impressive complexity evident in today's legislation." @default.
