Unlike other Department of Trans- portation (DOT) regulation compli- ance manuals, this publication ad- dresses the interaction between EPA's hazardous waste regulations and

DOT's hazardous materials regulations (HMR). Written for generators and transporters, facility transportation managers, field personnel, environ- mental staff, consultants, and govern- ment personnel, this book provides hands-on guidance in transporting RCRA hazardous wastes, CERCLA hazardous substances, and PCB wastes in the U.S.

Current through July 1995, the guide includes more than 40 real-world examples, logic diagrams, and discus- sion on the following topics: specific DOT and EPA requirements for ship- pers (generators) and carriers (trans- porters); determining when the HMR apply to hazardous wastes, CERCLA hazardous substances, and PCBs; clas- sifying materials according to DOT's hazardous class scheme and assigning proper shipping names; selecting DOT-authorized packaging; determin- ing and applying the correct marking, labeling, and placards; preparing haz- ardous waste manifests or other re- quired shipping papers; and specific requirements for emergency response, training, and registration.

The guide also includes the com- plete text of the 49 CFR 172.101 Haz- ardous Materials Table, including revi- sions made by DOT on December 29, 1994 and May 18, 1995; relevant ex- cerpts from more than 70 internal memoranda and other guidance issued by DOT to provide insight into the intent of the regulations; and an exten- sive keyword index that cross-refer- ences both the text of the guidance manual and the DOT regulations.
