Title: Effluent Guidelines and Standards for Landfills
Abstract: EPA is developing effluent guidelines and standards for landfills regulated under Subtitle C or Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) which discharge directly to surface waters, and landfills regulated under Subtitle C of RCRA which discharge indirectly to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). The proposal would not apply to wastewater discharges of contaminated groundwater. This proposal would not apply to discharges of wastewater associated with landfills operated in conjunction with other industrial or commercial operations which only receive waste from off-site facilities under the same corporate structure (intra-company facility) and/or receive waste generated on-site (captive facility) so long as the landfill wastewater is commingled for treatment with other process wastewaters. This rule was formerly titled Waste Treatment Industry, Phase II and Effluent Guidelines and Standards for Landfills and Incinerators.
