CContract only with federal agencies for disposal

DConvert the waste to non-hazardous status before disposal

Why Obtain an EPA generator ID, properly manage the waste, and document its disposal through a manifest system Is Correct

Answer B: Obtain an EPA generator ID, properly manage the waste, and document its disposal through a manifest system

RCRA regulates hazardous waste from 'cradle to grave.' Generators must obtain an EPA identification number (above de minimis quantities), properly store, label, and manage waste, and track its disposal through the manifest system to ensure it reaches a licensed treatment/storage/disposal facility.
