Because it is a laboratory, HNL generates Because it is a laboratory, HNL generates a wide variety of waste streams, many of a wide variety of waste streams, many of them subject to RCRA.them subject to RCRA.

RCRA regulation at HNL is by the State RCRA regulation at HNL is by the State Department of Environmental QualityDepartment of Environmental Quality
