Use the following process to identify waste. 1. Is the material a solid waste (40 CFR 261.2)? If no, check state regulations. If yes, refer to either of these EPA regulations: • Refer to the definition of a “hazardous waste” in 40 CFR 261.3. • Refer to the waste identification process in 40 CFR 262.11(b). 2. Then determine if the waste is “listed”. Listed wastes are divided into 2 categories: • Process Waste • Product Waste 3. If the waste is from a process, you have two choices: • The waste is described as F-List (40 CFR 261.31) • The process is described as K-List (40 CFR 261.32) 4. If the waste is a product, refer to 40 CFR 261.33 - Sole Active Ingredient to determine if the product is: • Acutely hazardous waste - P-List (40CFR261.33(e)) • Toxic waste - U-List (40 CFR 261.33(f)) Acutely hazardous waste is extremely dangerous in small amounts. These wastes are regulated the same way as large amounts of other hazardous wastes. If a company produces as little as 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs) of acutely hazardous wastes in a calendar month, or stores more than that amount for any period of time, it is subject to all of the regulations that apply to generators of more than 1,000 kilograms per calendar month.
