What does TSDF stand for in RCRA terminology?

• A. Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility;
• B. Toxic Substances Distribution Forum;
• C. Temporary Storage and Disposal Facility;
• D. Transportation and Disposal Facility.

Answer: (A)

In RCRA terminology, TSDF stands for Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility. This term identifies a site that handles hazardous waste through one or more of these activities on-site, making it subject to the Subtitle C standards for hazardous waste management. The key idea is that a TSDF is a facility that actually treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste, not just a place that transports it or that only temporarily holds it. The other options don’t fit because they use terms that aren’t used in RCRA nomenclature for this purpose.
