Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste; Final Exclusion

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting a petition submitted by Tokusen USA, Inc. (Tokusen) to exclude from hazardous waste control (or delist) a certain solid waste. This final rule responds to the petition submitted by Tokusen to delist F006 dewatered sludge generated from the on-site Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) from its electroplating operations. After careful analysis and use of the Delisting Risk Assessment Software, the EPA has concluded the petitioned waste is not hazardous waste when disposed of in Subtitle D landfills. This exclusion applies to 670 cubic yards annually of dewatered WWTP sludge resulting from its electroplating operations. Accordingly, this final rule excludes the petitioned waste from the requirements of hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when disposed of in Subtitle D landfills.
