ServicesWASTE M A N A G E M E N T
Existing and pending regulations at the state and federal levels governing solidand hazardous waste management will lead to signif icant changes in current wastemanagement practices. Regulations recently promulgated by the USEPA pursuant tothe Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) a t tempt to controlwaste management practices by defining specific criteria applicable to wastemanagement activities. Because of the potentially far-reaching effects and impacton costs, many organizations are reevaluating their waste management practices anddisposal facilities relative to the USEPA's requirements.
Dames <3c Moore provides a variety of technical and consulting servicesapplicable to the selection, design, modification, construction, monitoring, andoperation of solid and hazardous waste storage, treatment, and disposal facilities.The types of services currently being provided to clients include:
o Waste Management Planning;o Compliance Evaluations of Existing Disposal Facilities;o Disposal Facility Site Selection;o Site Development;o Environmental Impact Assessments;o Facility Closure and Reclamation; ando Permitt ing Assistance.
The interrelationships of these services to the permit t ing process are shown inthe attached figure. Dames & Moore can provide support during each phase of aproject based on a client's needs, or can provide a completely integrated servicefrom the start of a project through its completion.
Further descriptions of the firm's services listed above are presented below.
