| 99-2323 | 180-Day Accumulation Time for Waste Water Treatment Sludges From the Metal Finishing Industry | Proposed Rule | As part of the Common Sense Initiative (CSI), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is today proposing a cleaner, cheaper, and smarter opportunity for environmental protection for the Metal Finishing Industry. EPA is proposing to allow generators of F006 waste (sludges from the treatment of electroplating wastewaters) up to 180 days (or up to 270 days, if applicable) to accumulate F006 waste without a hazardous waste storage permit or interim status, provided that these generators meet certain conditions. The first condition is that F006 waste generators have implemented pollution prevention practices that reduce the volume or toxicity of the F006 waste or that make it more amenable for metals recovery. The second condition is that they recycle the F006 waste by metals recovery. The third condition is that they accumulate no more than 16,000 kilograms of F006 waste at any one time. The final condition is that they comply with the applicable management standards. EPA believes that the 180-day accumulation time for F006 waste is protective of human health and the environment. The 180-day accumulation time would minimize economic barriers to the recycling of F006 waste through metals recovery, thus providing generators of F006 waste with an incentive to choose metals recovery over treatment and land disposal as their waste management option for F006 waste. | 1999-02-01 | 1999 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/02/01/99-2323/180-day-accumulation-time-for-waste-water-treatment-sludges-from-the-metal-finishing-industry | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-02-01/pdf/99-2323.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | As part of the Common Sense Initiative (CSI), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is today proposing a cleaner, cheaper, and smarter opportunity for environmental protection for the Metal Finishing Industry.
