The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will implement a project under its Project XL (which stands for eXcellence and Leadership) program that will provide regulatory flexibility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, for the US Filter Recovery Services (USFRS) facility located at 2430 Rose Place, Roseville, Minnesota, 55113 and approved Minnesota generators and transporters of electroplating waste waters. The purpose of the USFRS XL Project is to encourage the use of USFRS' waste water treatment ion exchange resin process and thereby increase the recycling of metals derived from the treatment of electroplating waste waters subjected to this process. It may also result in the reduction in the use of potable water and energy savings. To achieve these objectives, this rule once adopted by the State of Minnesota would replace existing RCRA hazardous waste requirements for the handling of the spent materials in the ion exchange resin process (i.e., the resins and filters) at approved generators and transporters with a comprehensive program designed and implemented by USFRS to properly treat, recycle, store and transport these wastes. The overall terms of this XL Project are contained in the Final Project Agreement (FPA) and the new rules adopted today. The FPA is available at the RCRA Docket in Washington D.C. in the EPA Region V library, at USFRS, and on the world wide web at http://www.epa.gov/ projectxl/.
