EPAI530-R-92-019 Figure CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPOSITION OF NONHAZARDOUS SPECIAL WASTE Subtitle D wastes, wastes not covered under Subtitle C of the RCRA, are comprised of a wide variety of wastes, including industrial nonhazardous waste (Figure ) (USEPA, 1992). The most recent estimate of the quantity and types of nonhazardous industrial waste generated annually in the United States comes from a telephone survey conducted by the USEPA (GAG, 1990). According to that survey, over billion tons of nonhazardous industrial waste were generated in 1985 (Table ). Seventeen types of industries account for 99% of all the industrial waste reported. In addition, approximately 31 million tons of construction/demohtion debris wastes are generated annually (based on 1970 data) (GAO, 1990). It was not until 1980 that standards for generators and transporters of hazardous waste were promulgated by USEPA and that permit procedures for hazardous waste programs were in place. A study was initiated by lEPA in 1979 to survey quantities, types, and fates of industrial process wastes generated in Illinois (Chillingworth et al. 1980). Approximately million tons of industrial (special) wastes were Durable Goods Nondurable Goods Containers & Packaging Food Wastes Yard Trimmings generated in Illinois at that time (Table ).
