Customer Reviews

Tye book was in great shape. The only issue I had was this book was obviously sold as a used copy due to the quality of printing done. On every single page of the book, and in the same area, the word or words are missing. This makes it very hard to read.

A colleague shared this book with me to help explain some meaty aspect of RCRA. I finally understand what is required so that I can talk intelligently with the regulators. I subsequently went out and purchased my own copy. This book is great as a reference. I highly recommend you obtain a copy if you are as mystified by the RCRA regs as most of us are.
