Title: Response to Petition for Site-Specific Variance for Elemental Mercury Wastes (D009 and U151) Under the Land Disposal Restrictions 
Abstract:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reviewing Republic Services’ petition for a Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) treatment variance that would allow it to stabilize elemental mercury extracted from high-level mercury-containing wastes through a process of conversion to mercuric sulfide followed by double encapsulation and monofill disposal. Upon completing review of a petition and making a determination, EPA provides public notice for comment in the Federal Register of the intent to approve or deny it.
