Your waste is considered “abandoned” because it is accumulated before it is disposed of. Is the waste considered a solid waste that is regulated under RCRA? In your answer, describe why each characteristic does or does not make the waste a solid waste under RCRA. 2. Describe what it means if a waste is accumulated speculatively. 3. You are asked by your employer to determine if a waste is subject to RCRA. The waste is spent sulfuric acid. Use the EPA website to explain why the waste is or is not subject to RCRA. 4.
