Summary:

Discusses waste excluded from regulatory definition of hazardous waste pursuant to amendments to Subtitle C in the Solid Waste Disposal Act Amendments of 1980, referred to as the Bevill Amendment and the Bentsen Amendment, both of which exclude specific large-volume industrial solid waste from Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Examines existing EPA authorities under Subtitle C of RCRA, with regard to hazardous waste management, or Subtitle D, with regard to solid waste management, from which EPA could draw to establish new requirements applicable to Bevill or Bentsen wastes, including any limitations on its Subtitle C authorities established under the Bevill-Bentsen amendments.
