Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
The Environmental Protection Agency announces the availability of a memorandum setting out EPA's policy on the application of the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) dilution prohibition to the combustion of inorganic metal-bearing hazardous wastes. Under the existing LDR dilution prohibition, burning inorganic metal-bearing hazardous wastes can be a form of impermissible dilution. The Agency believes it is appropriate to make this information available to the public to emphasize that in individual cases and according to specific circumstances, burning inorganic metal-bearing hazardous wastes may constitute a violation of the LDR dilution prohibition.
