Title: Polychlorinated Biphenyls - PCBs - Disposal Amendments
Abstract: After analyzing the comments received in response to an ANPRM issued in 1991, EPA issued a proposed rule on December 6, 1994 to address alternative disposal methods for newly identified scenarios such as large volume solids; mixed wastes such as PCB/radioactive wastes; and other issues, such as disposal of household wastes, small capacitors, and used paints. The notice also solicited comments on a modification to the disposal regulations which would allow for the recognition of PCB waste management activities under other Federal or State authorities and the transboundary movement of PCB wastes. Roughly 270 sets of comments were received in response to the NPRM, a final rule will be drafted promulgating more than 50 changes, additions and deletions to the current regulations. Finally, the rule incorporated a reproposal of the April 6, 1990 proposed rule (55 FR 12866), which intended to clarify questions on whether the analysis of PCBs is to be conducted on a dry weight basis.
