Abstract
Among
other
things,
RCRA
requires
the
protection
of
ground
water
from
releases
of
hazardous
wastes
from
land
disposal
facilities
with
regulated
units
(
these
include
surface
impoundments,
waste
piles,
land
treatment
units,
and
landfills).
Ground­
water
monitoring
standards
for
interim
status
facilities
are
found
in
40
CFR
part
265,
subpart
F,
and
for
permitted
facilities
in
40
CFR
part
264,
subpart
F.
Both
sets
of
standards
require
owners
or
operators
that
conduct
ground­
water
monitoring
to
report
information
to
the
oversight
agencies
on
releases
of
contaminants
and
to
maintain
records
of
groundwater
monitoring
data
at
their
facilities.
