Abstract:

In 1989, no Eighth U.S. Army installations had yet acquired a complete library of Republic of Korea ROK hazardous waste regulations. Since the Korean Waste Management Law is the primary las governing the U.S. Forces Korea USFK hazardous waste management program, the USFKEUSA Environmental Program Office EPO tasked the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory to translate the Korean Waste Management Law and attendant documents into English. This special report contains English translations of 1 the Korean Waste Management Law, 2 the Korean Ministry of Health and Safety Administration MOHSA Order To Implement the Waste Management Law, 3 the Korean Presidential Decree To Implement the Waste Management Law, and 4 Korean government forms for documentation of waste disposal in that country. These translations will help USFK installation planners in Korea to formulate a hazardous waste management program that recognizes and adheres to host country regulations.
