What agency regulates hazardous waste management from the time of generation through transportation treatment storage and disposal?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates hazardous waste management in the United States from the point of generation through transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal. This is primarily governed by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which establishes a framework for managing hazardous waste to protect human health and the environment. The EPA sets standards and guidelines that must be followed by generators, transporters, and facilities handling hazardous waste.
