HOTLINE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
RCRA
1. Regeneration Versus Reclamation
for Spent Lead-Acid Batteries
In order to encourage environmentally
sound recycling, EPA has promulgated special
standards for some recyclable materials and
exempted others from hazardous waste
regulation. For example, reclaimed spent
lead-acid batteries are subject to the special
requirements of Part 266, Subpart G
(§261.6{aX2)(iv)). On the other hand,
batteries returned to a battery manufacturer
for regeneration are exempt from hazardous
waste regulation (§261.6(a)(3)(ii)). Are spent
lead-acid batteries returned to a battery
manufacturer for regeneration regulated
under Subpart G of Pan 266, or are they
exempt from all hazardous waste regulation?
Spent lead-acid batteries returned to a
battery manufacturer for regeneration are not
Subject to Subpart G of Part 266, nor to any
other Subtitle C regulations. While the term
"reclamation," when used in a regulatory
context, typically includes both materials
recovery and regeneration (§261.1(c)(4)), the
standards governing the reclamation of spent
lead-acid batteries in Subpart G of Part 266 do
not apply to the regeneration of these batteries.
Subpart G regulates materials recovery, which
involves the extraction from spent lead-acid
batteries of distinct end-products, such as scrap
metal, lead values, ammonium sulfide, and
plastic. Regeneration, on the other hand,
involves processing to remove contaminants
in a way that restores a product to its original,
usable condition. Because EPA determined
that battery regeneration is similar to the
recycling of a commercial chemical product
and presents nominal risk to the environment
(48 FR 14496; April 4,1983), battery
regeneration, including the regeneration of
spent lead-acid batteries, is exempt from
Subtitle C regulation (§261.6(a)(3)(ii)).
2. Delisting Petitions for Hazardous
Wastes From The Petroleum
Industry
A petroleum refinery is submitting a
delis ting petition to EPA for its listed refinery
hazardous waste. Does EPA provide a list of
constituents typically found in petroleum
refinery wastes that should be used in
developing such a delisting petition?
The EPA publication, Petitions To Delist
Hazardous Wastes: A Guidance Manual
(EPA/530-R-93-007, March 1993) contains a
list of constituents of concern for hazardous
wastes from the petroleum industry (Exhibit
6-3). This list (referred to as the delisting
"petroleum list") identifies the specific
hazardous constituents of concern that
typically may be found in petroleum wastes.
As delisting is "generator-specific", individual
petitioners should also investigate if other
hazardous constituents are present in their
particular wastes. The guidance manual
provides details about developing an
analytical plan.
-------
Hotline Questions and Answers
EPA initially provided such a petroleum
list in the first edition (1985) of the delisting
guidance manual. This list was based on the
"Skinner List" developed by OSW in 1984 for
land treatment associated with petroleum
refinery wastes. The 1985 version of the
delisting petroleum list has since been
modified based on new data from various
sources. The current petroleum list in the
1993 delisting manual provides the most
recent federal guidance for submitting a
delisting petition. States that are authorized
for delisting implement the RCRA delisting
program in lieu of the Federal program;
therefore, petitioners in these states may have
additional requirements. Furthermore,
facilities should consult with other appropriate
EPA and/or state regulating authorities to
determine if this list should be used in other
aspects of the RCRA program, such as RCRA
permitting.

3. UST Remediation Wastes
Petroleum contaminated environmental
media and debris from an underground
storage tank (UST) corrective action are
excluded from the definition of hazardous
waste if they only exhibit the characteristic of
toxicityfor TC constituents D018-D043, per
§261.4(b)(10). When activated carbon filters
are used to remediate these wastes, are the
filters also eligible for the exclusion?
The exemption does not apply to spent
carbon filters used to remediate petroleum
contaminated UST corrective action wastes.
The carbon filters are newly generated wastes.
Whether disposed of or reclaimed for future
reuse, the filters, once spent, would be
considered solid wastes (§261.1(c)(3)). The
filters would, therefore, need to be handled as
hazardous waste if they exhibit any
characteristic of hazardous waste.
