This three-day Advanced RCRA/CERCLA course Iooks at the often difficult and financially significant aspects of waste management for the professional managing waste disposal issues. This is truly an advanced course that complements our Mastering RCRA course, moving beyond waste classification and management. From the sweeping changes to the redefinition of "solid waste" to issues like the CERCLAIRCRA Interface that are usually discussed only after a regulatory program, this is the only national RCRA program deserving of the title Advanced!

• When and how materials can be managed outside the RCRA hazardous waste arena
• Recycling to minimize costs and regulatory burden
• Generator management concerns
• Deregulatory and less burdensome options for wastes
• The Bush EPA redefinition of "solid waste" and its implications for regulated entities
