Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strategy used by the company is consistent with the best-demonstrated available technology (BDAT) method, which encourages the use of technology to neutralize or reduce the hazardous nature of wastes.

The other options (secure landfill, deep-well injection, on-site surface impoundment) involve disposal rather than treatment or neutralization of hazardous wastes.
