Land Disposal Restrictions for Newly Identified and Listed Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Soil

Résumé

On September 14, 1993 EPA published a proposed rulemaking entitled ``Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) for Newly Identified and Listed Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Soil'' (58 FR 48092). A portion of that proposed rule addressed RCRA alternative land disposal restrictions that would specifically apply to soils that are subject to regulation under RCRA subtitle C because they exhibit a hazardous characteristic, or contain listed hazardous wastes. In addition, the proposal would have codified the ``contained in'' policy for contaminated media. On November 12, 1993 EPA extended the comment period for these specific provisions of the September 14, 1993 proposal, to March 15, 1994. EPA has subsequently decided that these regulatory proposals should be addressed as part of the Hazardous Waste Identification Rule (HWIR) for contaminated media, rather than as part of the original LDR rule. This supplemental document is intended to clarify the Agency's intentions with regard to finalizing these specific provisions, and reiterate EPA's original request for data relating to treatment of hazardous soils.
