Definition of Hazardous Waste Applicable to Corrective Action at Solid Waste Management Units

This proposed rule would amend the regulatory definition of hazardous waste applicable to corrective action to address releases from solid waste management units at RCRA-permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The proposed rule would provide clear regulatory authority to fully implement EPA’s statutory authority to require corrective action to address releases not only of substances identified as hazardous waste in the regulations but of any substance that meets the statutory definition of hazardous waste.
