Executive summary
Current state
The EPA's ECHO database systematically identifies facilities with RCRA compliance violations, creating a target-rich environment where automated compliance solutions can extract value from the gap between regulatory complexity and facility operational limitations. Facilities face predictable penalty exposure while lacking specialized compliance infrastructure.
Market catalyst
EPA regulations specify what must be complied with (RCRA 261.A/262.A) but not how to verify compliance - creating a void for de facto standards that, once established through regulatory recognition, become mandatory for all facilities.
