WASHINGTON - The E.P.A. will hold a public meeting on possible revisions to the Definition of Solid Waste (DSW) rule on June 30, 2009 at the E.P.A. Potomac Yards Conference Center in Arlington, Va. The hearing is an opportunity for stakeholders and members of the public to voice their opinions on the rule.
The DSW rule modified the regulations for recycling hazardous secondary materials to encourage the reclamation of certain hazardous secondary materials to help conserve resources. Since publication of the DSW rule in December 2008, E.P.A. received an administrative petition requesting reconsideration of the rule and a stay of implementation.
While E.P.A. does not expect to repeal the final rule, the agency believes that there may be opportunities to revise or clarify the rule. In particular, the agency has identified several possible issues for discussion based on stakeholder concerns. These include issues affecting storage requirements, notification provisions, how "legitimate" recycling is determined, and how materials transferred to another party for recycling are regulated. E.P.A. will consider written comments submitted during the public review period with the same weight as oral comments presented during the public hearing.

WHAT: Definition of Solid Waste rule public meeting
WHEN: Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (or until all interested parties have spoken)
