Hazardous Waste CombustionOn May 19,1993, EPA announced the release of its Draft Hazardous Waste Minimization and Combustion Strategy. The goals of the Strategy were to, first, achieve reductions in the amount of hazardous waste generated in this country and, second, to further improve the safety and reliability of hazardous waste combustion in incinerators and boilers and industrial furnaces (BIFs). The announcement signaled the Administrator's intention for EPA to take a leadership role in reaching a balanced resolution of the difficult hazardous waste issues involved. Since May 1993, EPA has led a broad and open national effort to take a fresh look at how to achieve a fully integrated waste management program in which economically sound source reduction decisions are given proper emphasis, and how to delineate the appropriate role for hazardous waste combustion.
