Title: Hazardous Waste Management System: Conditional Exclusion for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Streams in Geologic Sequestration Activities | |
Abstract: On July 25, 2008, EPA published a proposed rule under the Safe Drinking Water Act Underground Injection Control Program to create a new class of injection wells (Class VI) for geologic sequestration (GS) of carbon dioxide (CO2). In response to that proposal, EPA received numerous comments asking for clarification on how the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste requirements apply to CO2 streams. EPA published a proposed rule under RCRA and is now considering a final a rule that would conditionally exclude from the RCRA requirements CO2 streams that otherwise meet the definition of hazardous waste, in order to facilitate implementation of GS, while protecting human health and the environment. | |
