In
Minnesota, commercial entities that produce any amount of hazardous
waste are regulated as hazardous-waste "generators" with requirements
that depend upon the amount of waste they produce. These requirements
are part of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
and Minnesota Hazardous Waste Rules. They are designed to protect
people and the environment from the effects of improper management
of hazardous wastes from commercial sources.
