Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The RCRA uses a uniform approach to implement the identification criteria for hazardous wastes. This approach includes a list of specific wastes and a set of criteria that determine which other wastes are hazardous. It does not use benefit-cost analysis, an index based on toxicity, or risk-benefit analysis to identify hazardous wastes.
