Land Disposal Restrictions

Program Snapshot Resources Training and Guidance Documents Regional and State Contacts Rules and Regulations

The EPA's mission is to protect human health and the environment – air, water, and land. EPA helps fulfill this mission by regulating how hazardous wastes are managed and disposed under a program known as the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) program.

EPA's LDR program works specifically to minimize potential environmental threats resulting from land disposal of hazardous waste. The LDR program achieves this by establishing hazardous waste protocol and treatment requirements that make the waste safe for land disposal.
