Summary:
7-11-83
     The K061 listing includes facilities that produce steel in electric (not
blast) furnaces and facilities that use scrap steel as a raw material.  The
listing does not include foundries or iron making.

     The emission control dust generated from the production of steel in an
electric arc furnace using steel scrap is included in the K061 listing.

          This-is in response to your question as  to  the  scope  of  the- listing K061
          Emission control dust/sludge from the primary production of steel.

          Interpretation of Scope of KC6I

          The K061 waste listing is defined under  40  CFR  Section 261.32  as  "Emission
          control dust/sludge from the primacy production of steel (T)."

                   This applies to steel produced  in  electric furnaces/  not blast
                   furnaces.

                   The listing does not include foundries.

                   Facilities that, use scrap steel as a  raw material-are included
                   in the listing.  •

                    The listing does not include iron making.

          If a facility produces steel in an electric arc furnace using  steel
          scrap,  the emission control dust meets  the listing of K061.  What  is
          done with the steel after this process does not affect the process
          wastes' inclusion in the listing. -.
