Title: Military Munitions Rule: Hazardous Waste Identification and Management; Explosives Emergencies; Redefinition of On-Site 
Abstract: EPA issued a rule clarifying when military munitions (including chemical munitions) become hazardous wastes subject to Federal hazardous waste storage, treatment, and disposal rules. The rule assures transportation and storage of such wastes are safe and protective of human health and the environment. The rule addresses munitions in the military stockpile to be demilitarized, burning of excess propellants, emergency responses involving both military and non-military explosives, and unexploded ordnance on firing ranges. State National Guard units as well as Federal DOD, DOE, and DOT (Coast Guard) units are subject to these rules. The rule, in lieu of revising the definition of on-site, exempts transportation from the RCRA manifest on public or private right-of-ways between contiguous properties under the control of the same person. EPA and EPA-authorized States will implement the standards.
