KING, Circuit Judge:
James Ralph Sellers (Sellers) appeals his conviction and sentence for sixteen counts of knowingly and willfully disposing of me-thylethylketone, a hazardous waste, without obtaining a permit, a violation of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), codified at 42 U.S.C. § 6928(d)(2)(A). Sellers contends that the district court erred (1) in its admission of certain testimony, (2) by its charge to the jury, and (3) in its application of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. Finding no error, we affirm the conviction and sentence.
