Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which of the following is true about hazardous waste?

ARCRA only applies to federal government properties
BRCRA regulates the disposal, storage, and treatment of hazardous waste and creates 'cradle to grave' liability✓ Correct
CRCRA only covers nuclear and radioactive materials
DRCRA exempts small businesses with fewer than 50 employees

Explanation

RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) creates a 'cradle-to-grave' regulatory system for hazardous waste — from generation to disposal. It regulates the handling, storage, treatment, and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Generators, transporters, and treatment/storage/disposal facilities all have RCRA obligations. This differs from CERCLA which addresses cleanup of existing contamination.
