## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting two petitions submitted by the University of California--E.O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). First, EPA is granting the petition to exclude (or "delist") its F002, F003, and F005 mixed waste. Second, EPA is granting LBNL's petition which is for a determination of equivalent treatment (DET) for the catalytic chemical oxidation (CCO) technology that LBNL used to treat its original mixed waste. After careful analysis EPA has concluded that the petitioned waste is no longer hazardous waste and that the CCO treatment is equivalent to combustion. This exclusion applies to approximately 200 U.S. gallons of residues from treatment of low-level mixed waste from the National Tritium Labeling Facility (NTLF), a research facility located within LBNL. Accordingly, this final rule excludes the petitioned waste from the requirements of hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) provided the petitioner meets the delisting conditions which require that the residue be disposed at an authorized low-level radioactive waste facility.
