Discussion;
Materials that are listed under EPA Hazardous Haste No. F021 are
usually considered inherently waste-like, unless they are directly
used/reused In a production process at the site of production, as they
are here (see 40 CFR 261.2(d)(1)). In this case, the process is
use/reuse and the bag filter and ventilation Materials are not solid
wastes and are not subject to RCRA Subtitle C regulation.

Discussion:
Processing steps that do not themselves regenerate or recover
material values and are not necessary to material recovery are not
reclamation. Therefore, sintering operations, which thermally
aggolomerate iron-bearing materials before charging to a blast
furnace, are not reclamation. In this case, return of emission
control dusts to the blast furnace as a substitute for raw material
feedstock meets the specifications of closed-loop recycling.
Materials that are recycled in a closed-loop process are not solid
wastes and are not subject to Subtitle C regulation, unless they are
speculatively accumulated, used in a manner constituting disposal, or
burned as a fuel.

Diacuasiont
Because dumping secondary Materials into water to serve as fill
or structural support is similar to land disposal, this activity
normally is use constituting disposalI thus Materials added to water
ordinarily are considered solid wastes. The use of secondary
Materials as wastewater conditioners, however, is not use constituting
disposal. Using secondary Materials as wastewater conditioners is not
similar to land disposal because the secondary Material is chemically
combined as part of the conditioning process and is subsumed as an
Ingredient in the conditioned water. In this case, the lime is
directly reused without any intermediate reclamation as a substitute
for a commercial product. Materials that are used/reused are not
considered solid wastes and thus are not subject to RCRA Subtitle C
regulation, unless they are spieculatively accumulated, used in a
Manner constituting disposal, or burned as a fuel.

Persons disposing of the waste May be subject to requirements

Discussioni
This Is an example of shaM recycling, where the spent sulfuric
acid is only Marginally effective for the claimed use. The fact that
a commercial conditioning agent Must be used along with the sulfuric
acid is an indication that the claimed recycling is a sham. Thus, the
spent sulfuric acid Is a solid waste and is subject to RCRA Subtitle C
regulation.

Discussion:
Solvents commonly are produced and ueed as degreasers. As long
as the solvents (in this case) are used as degreasers, without being
reclaimed, they are serving • purpose for which they originally were
manufactured! since they are not "spent*, they are not secondary
Materials. Materials that are not secondary Materials are not solid
wastes and thus are not subject to RCRA Subtitle C regulation.

they exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic and (a) are placed on
the ground in a manner constituting disposal, (b) are burned as a

this case, the zinc does not exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic

The solvents are a product of the reclamation of a characteristic
by-product that is a solid waste because another product of
reclamation (the polymeric residues) is used in a Manner constituting
disposal. The solvents, however, are not solid wastes themselves
unless they exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic and (a) are

Discussioni
The 99.S percent pur* methanol la a product of the reclamation of
a characteristic spent material. Such products are not solid wastes
themselves unless they exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic and
(a) are placed on the ground in a manner constituting disposal, (b)
are burned as a fuel, or (c) must be further reclaimed before they can
be reused. In this case, the methanol undergoes further reclamation
off-site. However, because it Is better than 99.5 percent pure, EPA
has ruled that in this case the reclamation is substantially complete
and the material is more product-like than waste-like. (A similar
situation would be metals that must undergo further refining before
they are used.) The methanol is a commercial chemical product, not a
solid waste, and is not subject to RCRA Subtitle C regulation.

Discuseioni
The products of reclamation of characteristic sludges are not
themselves solid wastes unless they exhibit a hazardous waste
characteristic and are (a) burned for energy recovery or (b) used in a
manner constituting disposal. This product is placed on the land, but
because the product is not hazardous it is not a solid waste and is
not subject to Subtitle C regulation.

Description of Activityi
An acid etching solution (a spent material exhibiting the
characteristic of corroslvlty) is reclaimed for its zinc content. The
zinc (which does not exhibit any hazardous waste characteristics) is
then used in a fertilizer that does not exhibit any hazardous waste
characteristics. The recycler uses the fertilizer on his own land but
does not market it to the general public.
what is the status of the fertilizer?

The zinc is a product of the reclamation of a characteristic

they exhibit a hazardous characteristic and (a) are placed on the
ground in a manner constituting disposal, (b) are burned as a fuel, or
(c) must be further reclaimed before they can b* reused. In this
case, because the zinc does not exhibit any hazardous characteristics,
it is not a solid waste and is not subject to RCRA Subtitle C regula-

Dlecussioni
This asphalt Is produced by blending asphaltic materials with the
polymeric residues. Such products are not solid wastes unless they
exhibit a hazardous characteristic and (a) are placed on the ground in
a manner constituting disposal, (b) are burned as a fuel, or (c)
require further processing to complete the reclamation process. In
this case, the asphalt Is placed on the ground for beneficial use;
however, the asphalt does not exhibit hazardous waste characteristics.
Thus the asphalt is not a solid waste and is not subject to RCRA
Subtitle C regulation.

Discussion»
The metals are the product of the reclamation of a characteristic
spent material. Such products are not solid wastes themselves unless
they exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic and (a) are placed on
the ground in a Manner constituting disposal, (b) are burned as a
fuel, or (c) must be further reclaimed before they can be reused. In
this case, the Metals do not exhibit hazardous waste characteristics.
Thus they are not eolid wastes and are not subject to RCRA Subtitle C
regulation.
