was designed to ensure that the generation, transportation, treatment, 
storage and disposal of hazardous wastes are conducted in a manner that

their waste. The guidance manual is designed to assist the regulated 
community, permit writers and enforcement officials by establishing 
criteria to properly evaluate and prepare RCRA waste analysis plans.
