LDR Rules and Regulations 1997
Date: Dec. 5, 1997Citation: 62 FR 64503
Subject: LDR–Clarification of Standards for Treatment Variances, Final Rule
Abstract: This final rule clarifies conditions for granting treatment variances. It presents circumstances when application of the national treatment standard could be found to be "inappropriate," specifically where the national treatment standard is unsuitable from a technical standpoint or where the national treatment standard could lead to environmentally counterproductive results by discouraging needed remediation. The rule also withdraws the variance granted to Citgo for its Lake Charles Louisiana facility.

Phase III--Second Emergency Revision of Treatment Standards
for Listed Hazardous Wastes From Carbamate Production (PDF) (8 pp, 147K, About PDF),
Immediate Final Rule
Abstract: This emergency revision extends the alternative carbamate
treatment standards by one year. Therefore, carbamate wastes may be treated
to meet the concentration limits set as the treatment standards or may
be treated by the technology used as the basis for the concentration limits.

Phase III--Emergency Extension of the K088 National Capacity
Variance (PDF) (6 pp, 135K, About PDF), Final Rule
Abstract: This capacity extension permits K088 wastes to be land
disposed without having to comply with LDR treatment standards until Oct.
8, 1997. K088 wastes include spent potliners resulting from primary aluminum
production.

Subject:
LDR, Phase IV-- Second Supplemental Proposal on Treatment
Standards for Metal Characteristic Wastes, Mineral Processing
Wastes, Proposed Rule
Abstract: This notice proposes revised universal treatment standards
for 12 metal constituents when they are in hazardous waste. Comments are
sought on a conditional exemption for secondary mineral processing materials.
This notice also includes an exclusion from the definition of solid waste
for certain wood preserving wastewaters. In addition, the use of most
hazardous wastes as fill material is proposed to be prohibited.

Citation: 62 FR 25998
Subject: LDR,
Phase IV--Wood-Preserving Wastes, Paperwork Reduction
(Minirule), Final Rule (See also Supplemental
Information)
Abstract: This final rule sets treatment standards and effective
dates for wood preserving wastes. The rule significantly reduced LDR paperwork.
The rule also promulgates an alternative treatment standard, polymerization,
for certain ignitable wastes. Processed circuit boards and scrap metal
are exempted from RCRA. The rule also states that the California List
treatment standards are all now superceded by subsequent LDR rules.

Correction of Tables; Treatment Standards for Hazardous
Waste and Universal Treatment Standards (PDF) (99 pp, 4.0MB, About PDF); Final Rule
Abstract: This final rule corrects and clarifies the tables: "Treatment
Standards for Hazardous Wastes" at 40 CFR 268.40 and the "Universal
Treatment Standards" at 40 CFR 268.48. Several other corrections
were made to the tables in compliance with the Nov. 1, 1996 court decision
Dithiocarbamate Task Force v. Environmental Protection Agency.
These changes include removal of treatment standards for the 25 vacated
carbamate waste codes.

Extension of the K088 Capacity Variance (PDF) (6 pp, 138K, About PDF), Final Rule
Abstract: This rule extends the national capacity
variance for spent potliners from primary aluminum production
(K088) until July 8, 1997. This change is due to unanticipated
performance problems with the treatment technology.
