COFFEY, Circuit Judge.
Defendant-Appellant Leo Kelly (“Kelly”) appeals his conviction for knowingly causing the transportation of hazardous waste to a facility lacking a permit to dispose of such waste, and knowingly causing the disposal thereof without a permit, in violation of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 6928(d)(1) and (d)(2), respectively. Kelly challenges the jury instructions as excluding certain statutory elements of the crimes charged and relieving the government of its burden of proof on the issue of Kelly’s knowledge. We affirm.
