40 CFR Part 268 - Land Disposal Restrictions

40 CFR Part 268 implements the Land Disposal Restrictions under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, setting standards that prohibit the disposal of hazardous waste onto land unless it meets treatment standards that reduce toxicity. The rule establishes specific treatment levels and testing requirements for various waste streams, and it outlines procedures for variance requests, corrective action, and compliance enforcement. It aims to protect human health and the environment by ensuring hazardous waste is properly treated before land disposal.
