If the state has adopted Conditional Exemption for transportation and storage, what two environmental shipping options would the installation be able to use?

• A. Full RCRA
• B. Conditional Exemption for transportation
• C. Both Full RCRA and Conditional Exemption for transportation
• D. None

Answer: (C)

When a state adopts Conditional Exemption for transportation and storage, it creates an alternative path for handling hazardous waste shipments in addition to the standard RCRA requirements. This exemption typically applies to specific shipments that stay within state borders or meet certain criteria for temporary storage and transit, allowing a streamlined set of requirements. Because the state has this exemption in place, the installation would be able to ship using either the full RCRA framework or the conditional exemption pathway for transportation and storage, depending on the waste, destination, and compliance with the exemption’s conditions. The exemption complements the full RCRA process rather than replacing it, so both options are available. If a shipment doesn’t meet the exemption criteria, full RCRA rules still apply.
