Extension of the Policy on Enforcement of RCRA Section 3004(J) Storage Prohibition at Facilities Generating Mixed Radioactive/ Hazardous Waste

Resumo

EPA is announcing an extension of its policy (56 FR 42730, August 29, 1991) on the civil enforcement of the storage prohibition in section 3004(j) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at facilities which generate ``mixed waste'' regulated under both the RCRA subtitle C hazardous waste program and the Atomic Energy Act (AEA). The policy affects certain mixed wastes that are prohibited from land disposal under the RCRA Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR), and for which there are no available options for treatment or disposal. This action generally renews the August 1991 policy for an additional two-year period, based on EPA's determination that the availability of treatment and disposal capacity for certain mixed wastes has not changed materially in the interim.
