Final Guidance--Substantive Revision

   DEP ID: 258-2000-764. Title: Residual Waste and Special Handling Waste Streams. Description: This policy, which substantively changes and replaces the Department's existing New Waste Streams Review Policy dated July 23, 1993, reflects the December 2000 amendments to the municipal waste regulations and the January 2001 amendments to the residual waste regulations. This policy provides the Department's procedures that permitted waste processing and waste disposal facilities must follow for submission of a Waste Analysis and Classification Plan (Form R) and the appropriate forms these facilities must file to receive Department approval to accept residual waste (Form U waste) or special handling waste for processing or disposal. The substantive changes in this policy streamline and clarify: the Form R approval process; the procedures required in accepting waste streams that conform to the Department approved Form R; the procedures required for accepting waste streams without an approved Form R or when chemical analysis of waste is not warranted; when and how to amend an approved Form R; the procedures required for accepting residual waste from small quantity waste generators and small quantity residual waste from large quantity generators; and the annual chemical analysis of waste that waste processing and waste disposal facilities must obtain from waste generators on Form 26R. The guidance contains relevant information from guidance document No. 258-2000-768, dated July 23, 1993, titled ''Form R and Form U Implementation Guidance.'' Technical Guidance Document No. 258-2000-764 is established in accordance with section 301 of the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. § 6018.301) and 25 Pa. Code §§ 271.601, 271.611--271.163, 287.51--287.55 and 287.131--287.134. Notice advertising the substantive revisions to Document No. 258-2000-764 was advertised for a 30-day public comment period at 33 Pa.B. 4229 (August 23, 2003).
