**(a) Solid waste** The Congress finds with respect to solid waste—
(1) that the continuing technological progress and improvement in methods of manufacture, packaging, and marketing of consumer products has resulted in an ever-mounting increase, and in a change in the characteristics, of the mass material discarded by the purchaser of such products;
(2) that the economic and population growth of our Nation, and the improvements in the standard of living enjoyed by our population, have required increased industrial production to meet our needs, and have made necessary the demolition of old buildings, the construction of new buildings, and the provision of highways and other avenues of transportation, which, together with related industrial, commercial, and agricultural operations, have resulted in a rising tide of scrap, discarded, and waste materials;
(3) that the continuing concentration of our population in expanding metropolitan and other urban areas has presented these communities with serious financial, management, intergovernmental, and technical problems in the disposal of solid wastes resulting from the industrial, commercial, domestic, and other activities carried on in such areas;
(4) that while the collection and disposal of solid wastes should continue to be primarily the function of State, regional, and local agencies, the problems of waste disposal as set forth above have become a matter national in scope and in concern and necessitate Federal action through financial and technical assistance and leadership in the development, demonstration, and application of new and improved methods and processes to reduce the amount of waste and unsalvageable materials and to provide for proper and economical solid waste disposal practices.

Such regulations shall take effect on the date provided in [section 6930 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section6930&num=0&edition=prelim) and upon and after such date the treatment, storage, or disposal of any such hazardous waste and the construction of any new facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal of any such hazardous waste is prohibited except in accordance with such a permit. No permit shall be required under this section in order to construct a facility if such facility is constructed pursuant to an approval issued by the Administrator under [section 2605(e) of title 15](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title15-section2605/e&num=0&edition=prelim) for the incineration of polychlorinated biphenyls and any person owning or operating such a facility may, at any time after operation or construction of such facility has begun, file an application for a permit pursuant to this section authorizing such facility to incinerate hazardous waste identified or listed under this subchapter.

waste
from
the
extraction,
beneficiation or processing of ores and minerals,
including phosphate rock and overburden from
the mining of uranium, (2) fly ash waste, bottom
ash waste, slag waste, and flue gas emission con-
trol waste generated primarily from the com-
bustion of coal or other fossil fuels, or (3) ce-
ment kiln dust waste, is subject to regulation
under this subchapter, the Administrator is au-
thorized to modify the requirements of sub-
sections (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (o), and (u) and sec-
tion 6925(j) of this title, in the case of landfills
or surface impoundments receiving such solid
waste, to take into account the special charac-
teristics of such wastes, the practical difficul-
ties associated with implementation of such re-
quirements, and site-specific characteristics, in-
cluding but not limited to the climate, geology,
hydrology and soil chemistry at the site, so long
as such modified requirements assure protection
of human health and the environment.
(y) Munitions
(1) Not later than 6 months after October 6,
1992, the Administrator shall propose, after con-
sulting with the Secretary of Defense and appro-
priate State officials, regulations identifying
when military munitions become hazardous
waste for purposes of this subchapter and pro-
viding for the safe transportation and storage of
such waste. Not later than 24 months after Octo-
ber 6, 1992, and after notice and opportunity for
comment, the Administrator shall promulgate
such regulations. Any such regulations shall as-
sure protection of human health and the envi-
ronment.
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term
‘‘military munitions’’ includes chemical
