                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
                           AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 270--EPA ADMINISTERED PERMIT PROGRAMS: THE HAZARDOUS WASTE PERMIT PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart H--Remedial Action Plans (RAPs)
 
Sec. 270.80  What is a RAP?

    (a) A RAP is a special form of RCRA permit that you, as an owner or 
operator, may obtain, instead of a permit issued under Secs. 270.3 
through 270.66, to authorize you to treat, store, or dispose of 
hazardous remediation waste (as defined in Sec. 260.10 of this chapter) 
at a remediation waste management site. A RAP may only be issued for the 
area of contamination where the remediation wastes to be managed under 
the RAP originated, or areas in close proximity to the contaminated 
area, except as allowed in limited circumstances under Sec. 270.230.
    (b) The requirements in Secs. 270.3 through 270.66 do not apply to 
RAPs unless those requirements for traditional RCRA permits are 
specifically required under Secs. 270.80 through 270.230. The 
definitions in Sec. 270.2 apply to RAPs.
    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part or part 124 of 
this chapter, any document that meets the requirements in this section 
constitutes a RCRA permit under RCRA section 3005(c).
    (d) A RAP may be:
    (1) A stand-alone document that includes only the information and 
conditions required by this subpart; or
    (2) Part (or parts) of another document that includes information 
and/or conditions for other activities at the remediation waste 
management site, in addition to the information and conditions required 
by this subpart.
    (e) If you are treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous 
remediation wastes as part of a cleanup compelled by Federal or State 
cleanup authorities, your RAP does not affect your obligations under 
those authorities in any way.
    (f) If you receive a RAP at a facility operating under interim 
status, the RAP does not terminate your interim status.
