Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, also "the Agency" or "we" in this preamble) is proposing to modify a conditional exclusion (or "delisting") from the lists of hazardous waste, previously granted to BMW Manufacturing Co., LLC (BMW), in Greer, South Carolina. This action responds to a petition for amendment requested by BMW to eliminate the total concentration limits its wastewater treatment sludge covered by its current conditional exclusion. The Agency is basing its tentative decision to grant the petition for amendment on a re-evaluation of the specific information initially provided by the petitioner in its original request and on an evaluation of delistings granted to other automobile manufactures for its F019 waste. This tentative decision, if finalized, would eliminate the total concentration limits of barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, and cyanide from its conditionally excluded wastewater treatment sludge from the requirements of the hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The waste will still be subject to local, State, and Federal regulations for nonhazardous solid wastes.
