Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting a petition submitted by the Texas Eastman Division of Eastman Chemical Company (Texas Eastman) to exclude from hazardous waste control (or delist), certain solid wastes. The wastes being delisted consists of ash generated from the incineration of waste water treatment sludge at its facility. This action responds to Texas Eastman's petition to delist these wastes on a ``generator specific'' basis from the lists of hazardous wastes. After careful analysis, EPA has concluded that the petitioned waste is not hazardous waste when disposed of in Subtitle D landfills. This exclusion applies only to the fluidized bed incinerator (FBI) ash generated at Texas Eastman's Longview, 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 Subtitle D landfills.
