Column Name: RCRA_C_TOT_REL


Description: The total amount (in pounds) of the toxic chemical disposed of onsite, during the calendar year (January 1 ? December 31), in landfills that are authorized under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to accept hazardous waste. RCRA is the comprehensive federal law that, among other things, regulates the management of certain highly dangerous wastes from the moment they are generated until their ultimate destruction or disposal. Landfills authorized to accept these wastes must follow very stringent guidelines for their design and operation. Release amounts may be reported as specific numbers or as ranges. Letter codes are used to represent ranges: A = 1-10 pounds, B = 11-499 pounds, and C = 500-999 pounds. If a facility uses a range code, the amount reported to TRI is the midpoint of the range. Null values will appear as zero amount.
