Here are some important considerations when choosing a treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF):
Closure requirements
Facilities must comply with certain requirements in the regulations when choosing to close a location, part of a facility, or hazardous waste unit.
Large quantity generators (LQGs) must notify EPA using Form 8700-12 at least 30 days before closing a facility or hazardous waste unit and within 90 days after closing the facility or unit. A facility that fails to do these things will be classified as a landfill.
The point is to prevent environmental damage that can occur (and has occurred) when containers of waste are abandoned.
