Proposed Exclusion from the Definition of Solid Waste; Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to grant a variance from EPA's hazardous waste requirements for certain materials reclaimed by the World Resources Company (WRC) from metal- bearing sludges. This action responds to a petition submittted by WRC requesting that the Agency exclude from the RCRA definition of solid waste its concentrate material that is partially reclaimed from metal- bearing sludges and sold to smelters. If the Agency finalizes this action, the variance will be limited to five years.
