Abstract
The EPA is granting a petition submitted by Chaparral Steel Midlothian, L.P.(Chaparral Steel) to exclude from hazardous waste control (or delist) a certain solid waste. This action responds to the petition submitted by Chaparral Steel Midlothian, L.P., to delist the leachate from its Landfill No. 3 containing K061 electric arc furnace dust and minor amounts of K061 wastewater from various plant operations including storm water from the baghouse floor areas and the pelletizer sump on a "generator specific" basis from the lists of hazardous waste. After careful analysis, we have concluded that the petitioned waste is not hazardous waste when disposed of in the surface impoundments. This exclusion applies to leachate from Landfill No. 3 containing K061 electric arc furnace dust and minor amounts of K061 wastewater at Chaparral Steel's Midlothian, Texas, facility. Accordingly, this final rule excludes the petitioned waste from the requirements of hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when disposed of in surface impoundments but imposes testing conditions to ensure that the future-generated wastes remain qualified for delisting.
