The 2015 Definition of Solid Waste Final Rule retained this conditional exclusion first created by the 2008 Definition of Solid Waste Rule.  However, not satisfied with the level of environmental protection it provided EPA strengthened its provisions.  In this presentation I briefly summarize the importance of conditional exclusions in general, explain the requirements of 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), provide additional information that makes easy understanding of this regulation possible, and then close by providing you with the text of the regulation in its entirety.  Throughout the presentation are links to more documents to provide more detail and explanation.

It’s a lot of information to absorb and it is only one small part of the 2015 Definition of Solid Waste Rule.
