| Description of Services: | The Case Study Data System (CSDS) is an inventory of more than 220 case studies that were developed to support RCRA rule and guidance development activities affecting facility location, RCRA Corrective Action, and closure. The system was completed in April 1990. The system can be used to identify case studies that contain information on treatment technologies used at various specific hazardous waste sites. |
| Data: | The case studies are organized by number in a library at EPA. The CSDS is the indexing system for this library that identifies appropriate case studies by using data fields and keywords. The case studies contain formatted information about the geology, general problems, processes associated with waste handling, and treatment technologies (including innovative, standard, and regular procedures) for specific sites. The case studies address a variety of topics such as floodplains, disposal technology, treatment, and environmental effects. |
| Access: | The data base is available for downloading from the Cleanup Information (CLU-IN) Bulletin Board. The manual is available to those who fill out an online script questionnaire on CLU-IN requesting a copy. |
| Hardware/Software: | The Case Study Data System is written in dBase III and is formatted for use on an IBM PC or compatible computer. |
