This modified RCRA Orientation for Facility Managers satisfies two objectives. First, it provides persons that may be interested in attending (or having one of their staff attend) the three-day course with an opportunity to examine similar course materials to ascertain whether the three-day course will meet their individual needs. Second, if the three-day course goes beyond their needs, this course furnishes an introduction to RCRA that may serve as a cost-effective alternative to attending the three-day workshop.

Although it is based on and consists of the training course originally developed for Nuclear Safety Managers, HS-20 believes that this version constitutes an appropriate introduction to RCRA for any/all mid-level managers. It is not, however, intended to serve as a substitute for the complete three-day RCRA Orientation Workshop. The PDF Handout files have been retrofitted to function as self-study courseware and, therefore, are now equipped with hypertext links to additional Internet-accessible electronic resources; many of which are likewise formatted as PDF files. In general, additional Internet resources can be accessed directly from within each self-study module. Upon selecting and accessing (in Adobe Acrobat) the PDF Handout file of greatest interest, users scrolling through the module will encounter blue and green italicized terms and phrases in both the slides and narrative discussions. Where feasible, these highlighted terms and phrases function as hypertext links to internally-prepared Internet resources or external resources such as Federal Registers and Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs).
