facilities to manage these hazardous wastes in the future.

existing, capacity for the management of hazardous wastes produced in

categories of hazardous wastes, encouraging the reduction of the
amounts of hazardous waste produced at the source of production, and
any other policies and programs that affect the need for additional
management capacity in various types of hazardous waste facilities.
