<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=3 color=blue
face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:blue'>If
the envisioned incinerator is going to be used to incinerate any RCRA hazardous
waste pharmaceutical, it will need to meet all the requirements for TSDF and
hazardous waste incinerators found in 40 CFR. 261. These are extensive
and complex requirements. I do not believe that the cost to comply with
these regulations could be justified in a small scale project to incinerate a
small amount of RCRA pharmaceutical waste. In addition to RCRA the
incinerator would also have to meet Air Pollution regulations (most likely a
Title V permit) to burn any type of waste. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
