Identification and listing of hazardous waste (a) Criteria for identification or listing Not later than eighteen months after October 21, 1976, the Administrator shall, after notice and opportunity for public hearing, and after consultation with appropriate Federal and State agencies, develop and promulgate criteria for identifying the characteristics of hazardous waste, and for listing hazardous waste, which should be subject to the provisions of this sub- chapter, taking into account toxicity, persist- ence, and degradability in nature, potential for accumulation in tissue, and other related fac- tors such as flammability, corrosiveness, and other hazardous characteristics. Such criteria shall be revised from time to time as may be ap- propriate. (b) Identification and listing (1) Not later than eighteen months after Octo- ber 21, 1976, and after notice and opportunity for public hearing, the Administrator shall promul- gate regulations identifying the characteristics of hazardous waste, and listing particular haz- ardous wastes (within the meaning of section 6903(5) of this title), which shall be subject to the provisions of this subchapter. Such regula- tions shall be based on the criteria promulgated under subsection (a) and shall be revised from time to time thereafter as may be appropriate. The Administrator, in cooperation with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Reg- istry and the National Toxicology Program, shall also identify or list those hazardous wastes which shall be subject to the provisions of this subchapter solely because of the presence in such wastes of certain constituents (such as identified carcinogens, mutagens, or teratagens) 1 at levels in excess of levels which endanger human health. (2)(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of para- graph (1) of this subsection, drilling fluids, pro- duced waters, and other wastes associated with the exploration, development, or production of crude oil or natural gas or geothermal energy shall be subject only to existing State or Fed- eral regulatory programs in lieu of this sub- chapter until at least 24 months after October 21, 1980, and after promulgation of the regula- tions in accordance with subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph. It is the sense of the Con- gress that such State or Federal programs should include, for waste disposal sites which are to be closed, provisions requiring at least the following: (i) The identification through surveying, platting, or other measures, together with rec- ordation of such information on the public record, so as to assure that the location where such wastes are disposed of can be located in the future; except however, that no such sur- veying, platting, or other measure identifying the location of a disposal site for drilling fluids and associated wastes shall be required if the distance from the disposal site to the surveyed or platted location to the associated well is less than two hundred lineal feet; and (ii) A chemical and physical analysis of a produced water and a composition of a drilling fluid suspected to contain a hazardous mate- rial, with such information to be acquired prior to closure and to be placed on the public record. (B) Not later than six months after completion and submission of the study required by section 6982(m) of this title, the Administrator shall, after public hearings and opportunity for com- ment, determine either to promulgate regula- tions under this subchapter for drilling fluids, produced waters, and other wastes associated with the exploration, development, or produc- tion of crude oil or natural gas or geothermal energy or that such regulations are unwar- ranted. The Administrator shall publish his de- cision in the Federal Register accompanied by an explanation and justification of the reasons for it. In making the decision under this para- graph, the Administrator shall utilize the infor- mation developed or accumulated pursuant to the study required under section 6982(m) of this title. (C) The Administrator shall transmit his deci- sion, along with any regulations, if necessary, to both Houses of Congress. Such regulations shall take effect only when authorized by Act of Con- gress. (3)(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of para- graph (1) of this subsection, each waste listed below shall, except as provided in subparagraph Page 6936 TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE § 6921 (B) of this paragraph, be subject only to regula- tion under other applicable provisions of Federal or State law in lieu of this subchapter until at least six months after the date of submission of the applicable study required to be conducted under subsection (f), (n), (o), or (p) of section 6982 of this title and after promulgation of regu- lations in accordance with subparagraph (C) of this paragraph: (i) Fly ash waste, bottom ash waste, slag waste, and flue gas emission control waste generated primarily from the combustion of coal or other fossil fuels. (ii) Solid waste from the extraction, beneficiation, and processing of ores and min- erals, including phosphate rock and overbur- den from the mining of uranium ore. (iii) Cement kiln dust waste. (B)(i) Owners and operators of disposal sites for wastes listed in subparagraph (A) may be re- quired by the Administrator, through regula- tions prescribed under authority of section 6912 of this title— (I) as to disposal sites for such wastes which are to be closed, to identify the locations of such sites through surveying, platting, or other measures, together with recordation of such information on the public record, to as- sure that the locations where such wastes are disposed of are known and can be located in the future, and (II) to provide chemical and physical anal- ysis and composition of such wastes, based on available information, to be placed on the pub- lic record. (ii)(I) In conducting any study under sub- section (f), (n), (o), or (p), of section 6982 of this title, any officer, employee, or authorized rep- resentative of the Environmental Protection Agency, duly designated by the Administrator, is authorized, at reasonable times and as reason- ably necessary for the purposes of such study, to enter any establishment where any waste sub- ject to such study is generated, stored, treated, disposed of, or transported from; to inspect, take samples, and conduct monitoring and test- ing; and to have access to and copy records re- lating to such waste. Each such inspection shall be commenced and completed with reasonable promptness. If the officer, employee, or author- ized representative obtains any samples prior to leaving the premises, he shall give to the owner, operator, or agent in charge a receipt describing the sample obtained and if requested a portion of each such sample equal in volume or weight to the portion retained. If any analysis is made of such samples, or monitoring and testing per- formed, a copy of the results shall be furnished promptly to the owner, operator, or agent in charge. (II) Any records, reports, or information ob- tained from any person under subclause (I) shall be available to the public, except that upon a showing satisfactory to the Administrator by any person that records, reports, or information, or particular part thereof, to which the Admin- istrator has access under this subparagraph is made public, would divulge information entitled to protection under section 1905 of title 18, the Administrator shall consider such information or particular portion thereof confidential in ac- cordance with the purposes of that section, ex- cept that such record, report, document, or in- formation may be disclosed to other officers, employees, or authorized representatives of the United States concerned with carrying out this chapter. Any person not subject to the provi- sions of section 1905 of title 18 who knowingly and willfully divulges or discloses any informa- tion entitled to protection under this subpara- graph shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not more than $5,000 or to imprisonment not to exceed one year, or both. (iii) The Administrator may prescribe regula- tions, under the authority of this chapter, to prevent radiation exposure which presents an unreasonable risk to human health from the use in construction or land reclamation (with or without revegetation) of (I) solid waste from the extraction, beneficiation, and processing of phosphate rock or (II) overburden from the min- ing of uranium ore. (iv) Whenever on the basis of any information the Administrator determines that any person is in violation of any requirement of this subpara- graph, the Administrator shall give notice to the violator of his failure to comply with such requirement. If such violation extends beyond the thirtieth day after the Administrator’s noti- fication, the Administrator may issue an order requiring compliance within a specified time pe- riod or the Administrator may commence a civil action in the United States district court in the district in which the violation occurred for ap- propriate relief, including a temporary or per- manent injunction. (C) Not later than six months after the date of submission of the applicable study required to be conducted under subsection (f), (n), (o), or (p), of section 6982 of this title, the Administrator shall, after public hearings and opportunity for comment, either determine to promulgate regu- lations under this subchapter for each waste listed in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph or determine that such regulations are unwar- ranted. The Administrator shall publish his de- termination, which shall be based on informa- tion developed or accumulated pursuant to such study, public hearings, and comment, in the Federal Register accompanied by an explanation and justification of the reasons for it. (c) Petition by State Governor At any time after the date eighteen months after October 21, 1976, the Governor of any State may petition the Administrator to identify or list a material as a hazardous waste. The Ad- ministrator shall act upon such petition within ninety days following his receipt thereof and shall notify the Governor of such action. If the Administrator denies such petition because of fi- nancial considerations, in providing such notice to the Governor he shall include a statement concerning such considerations. (d) Small quantity generator waste (1) By March 31, 1986, the Administrator shall promulgate standards under sections 6922, 6923, and 6924 of this title for hazardous waste gen- erated by a generator in a total quantity of haz- ardous waste greater than one hundred kilo- grams but less than one thousand kilograms during a calendar month. Page 6937 TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE § 6921 (2) The standards referred to in paragraph (1), including standards applicable to the legitimate use, reuse, recycling, and reclamation of such wastes, may vary from the standards applicable to hazardous waste generated by larger quantity generators, but such standards shall be suffi- cient to protect human health and the environ- ment. (3) Not later than two hundred and seventy days after November 8, 1984, any hazardous waste which is part of a total quantity gen- erated by a generator generating greater than one hundred kilograms but less than one thou- sand kilograms during one calendar month and which is shipped off the premises on which such waste is generated shall be accompanied by a copy of the Environmental Protection Agency Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest form signed by the generator. This form shall contain the following information: (A) the name and address of the generator of the waste; (B) the United States Department of Trans- portation description of the waste, including the proper shipping name, hazard class, and identification number (UN/NA), if applicable; (C) the number and type of containers; (D) the quantity of waste being transported; and (E) the name and address of the facility des- ignated to receive the waste. If subparagraph (B) is not applicable, in lieu of the description referred to in such subparagraph (B), the form shall contain the Environmental Protection Agency identification number, or a generic description of the waste, or a description of the waste by hazardous waste characteristic. Additional requirements related to the manifest form shall apply only if determined necessary by the Administrator to protect human health and the environment. (4) The Administrator’s responsibility under this subchapter to protect human health and the environment may require the promulgation of standards under this subchapter for hazardous wastes which are generated by any generator who does not generate more than one hundred kilograms of hazardous waste in a calendar month. (5) Until the effective date of standards re- quired to be promulgated under paragraph (1), any hazardous waste identified or listed under this section generated by any generator during any calendar month in a total quantity greater than one hundred kilograms but less than one thousand kilograms, which is not treated, stored, or disposed of at a hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility with a permit under section 6925 of this title, shall be disposed of only in a facility which is permitted, licensed, or registered by a State to manage mu- nicipal or industrial solid waste. (6) Standards promulgated as provided in para- graph (1) shall, at a minimum, require that all treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous wastes generated by generators referred to in paragraph (1) shall occur at a facility with in- terim status or a permit under this subchapter, except that onsite storage of hazardous waste generated by a generator generating a total quantity of hazardous waste greater than one hundred kilograms, but less than one thousand kilograms during a calendar month, may occur without the requirement of a permit for up to one hundred and eighty days. Such onsite stor- age may occur without the requirement of a per- mit for not more than six thousand kilograms for up to two hundred and seventy days if such generator must ship or haul such waste over two hundred miles. (7)(A) Nothing in this subsection shall be con- strued to affect or impair the validity of regula- tions promulgated by the Secretary of Transpor- tation pursuant to chapter 51 of title 49. (B) Nothing in this subsection shall be con- strued to affect, modify, or render invalid any requirements in regulations promulgated prior to January 1, 1983 applicable to any acutely haz- ardous waste identified or listed under this sec- tion which is generated by any generator during any calendar month in a total quantity less than one thousand kilograms. (8) Effective March 31, 1986, unless the Admin- istrator promulgates standards as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection prior to such date, hazardous waste generated by any gener- ator in a total quantity greater than one hun- dred kilograms but less than one thousand kilo- grams during a calendar month shall be subject to the following requirements until the stand- ards referred to in paragraph (1) of this sub- section have become effective: (A) the notice requirements of paragraph (3) of this subsection shall apply and in addition, the information provided in the form shall in- clude the name of the waste transporters and the name and address of the facility des- ignated to receive the waste; (B) except in the case of the onsite storage referred to in paragraph (6) of this subsection, the treatment, storage, or disposal of such waste shall occur at a facility with interim status or a permit under this subchapter; (C) generators of such waste shall file mani- fest exception reports as required of genera- tors producing greater amounts of hazardous waste per month except that such reports shall be filed by January 31, for any waste shipment occurring in the last half of the pre- ceding calendar year, and by July 31, for any waste shipment occurring in the first half of the calendar year; and (D) generators of such waste shall retain for three years a copy of the manifest signed by the designated facility that has received the waste. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as a determination of the standards appropriate under paragraph (1). (9) The last sentence of section 6930(b) of this title shall not apply to regulations promulgated under this subsection. (e) Specified wastes (1) Not later than 6 months after November 8, 1984, the Administrator shall, where appropriate, list under subsection (b)(1), additional wastes containing chlorinated dioxins or chlorinated- dibenzofurans. Not later than one year after No- vember 8, 1984, the Administrator shall, where appropriate, list under subsection (b)(1) wastes containing remaining halogenated dioxins and halogenated-dibenzofurans. Page 6938 TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE § 6921 (2) Not later than fifteen months after Novem- ber 8, 1984, the Administrator shall make a de- termination of whether or not to list under sub- section (b)(1) the following wastes: Chlorinated Aliphatics, Dioxin, Dimethyl Hydrazine, TDI (toluene diisocyanate), Carbamates, Bromacil, Linuron, Organo-bromines, solvents, refining wastes, chlorinated aromatics, dyes and pig- ments, inorganic chemical industry wastes, lith- ium batteries, coke byproducts, paint produc- tion wastes, and coal slurry pipeline effluent. (f) Delisting procedures (1) When evaluating a petition to exclude a waste generated at a particular facility from listing under this section, the Administrator shall consider factors (including additional con- stituents) other than those for which the waste was listed if the Administrator has a reasonable basis to believe that such additional factors could cause the waste to be a hazardous waste. The Administrator shall provide notice and op- portunity for comment on these additional fac- tors before granting or denying such petition. (2)(A) To the maximum extent practicable the Administrator shall publish in the Federal Reg- ister a proposal to grant or deny a petition re- ferred to in paragraph (1) within twelve months after receiving a complete application to ex- clude a waste generated at a particular facility from being regulated as a hazardous waste and shall grant or deny such a petition within twen- ty-four months after receiving a complete appli- cation. (B) The temporary granting of such a petition prior to November 8, 1984, without the oppor- tunity for public comment and the full consider- ation of such comments shall not continue for more than twenty-four months after November 8, 1984. If a final decision to grant or deny such a petition has not been promulgated after notice and opportunity for public comment within the time limit prescribed by the preceding sentence, any such temporary granting of such petition shall cease to be in effect. (g) EP toxicity Not later than twenty-eight months after No- vember 8, 1984, the Administrator shall examine the deficiencies of the extraction procedure tox- icity characteristic as a predictor of the leach- ing potential of wastes and make changes in the extraction procedure toxicity characteristic, in- cluding changes in the leaching media, as are necessary to insure that it accurately predicts the leaching potential of wastes which pose a threat to human health and the environment when mismanaged. (h) Additional characteristics Not later than two years after November 8, 1984, the Administrator shall promulgate regula- tions under this section identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste, including measures or indicators of toxicity. (i) Clarification of household waste exclusion A resource recovery facility recovering energy from the mass burning of municipal solid waste shall not be deemed to be treating, storing, dis- posing of, or otherwise managing hazardous wastes for the purposes of regulation under this subchapter, if— (1) such facility— (A) receives and burns only— (i) household waste (from single and multiple dwellings, hotels, motels, and other residential sources), and (ii) solid waste from commercial or in- dustrial sources that does not contain haz- ardous waste identified or listed under this section, and (B) does not accept hazardous wastes iden- tified or listed under this section, and (2) the owner or operator of such facility has established contractual requirements or other appropriate notification or inspection proce- dures to assure that hazardous wastes are not received at or burned in such facility. (j) Methamphetamine production Not later than every 24 months, the Adminis- trator shall submit to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate a report setting forth infor- mation collected by the Administrator from law enforcement agencies, States, and other rel- evant stakeholders that identifies the byprod- ucts of the methamphetamine production proc- ess and whether the Administrator considers each of the byproducts to be a hazardous waste pursuant to this section and relevant regula- tions.
