Currently, industrial waste disposal is regulated by the Clean Air Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Clean Air Act requires facilities to obtain a permit for any release of pollutants or hazardous substances into the atmosphere. RCRA regulates management of hazardous materials from cradle to grave, including how these materials are generated, stored, treated, and disposed. In order to ensure compliance with regulations regarding industrial waste disposal, an appropriate environmental permit should be obtained from the relevant authorities and proper training should be provided to personnel handling hazardous materials.
