K174 Wastewater treatment sludges from the production of ethylene dichloride or vinyl 

chloride monomer (including sludges that result from commingled ethylene dichloride 

or vinyl chloride monomer wastewater and other wastewater), unless the sludges meet 

the following conditions: (i) they are disposed of in a subtitle C or non-hazardous 

landfill licensed or permitted by the state or federal government; (ii) they are not 

otherwise placed on the land prior to final disposal; and (iii) the generator maintains 

documentation demonstrating that the waste was either disposed of in an on-site 

landfill or consigned to a transporter or disposal facility that provided a written 

commitment to dispose of the waste in an off-site landfill. Respondents in any action 

brought to enforce the requirements of subtitle C must, upon a showing by the 

government that the respondent managed wastewater treatment sludges from the 

production of vinyl chloride monomer or ethylene dichloride, demonstrate that they 

meet the terms of the exclusion set forth above. In doing so, they must provide 

appropriate documentation (e.g., contracts between the generator and the landfill 

owner/operator, invoices documenting delivery of waste to landfill, etc.) that the terms 

of the exclusion were met.

• There should be a closing bracket following “Octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin” in line 4 of the “Hazardous constituents for which 

listed” column;

• There should not be a hyphenation between “tetrachlorodi” and “benzo-p-dioxins” in line 5 of the “Hazardous constituents for 

which listed” column; and

• Both “tetrachlororodibenzo-p-dioxins” and “tetrachlorodibenzofurans” should be initially capitalized as with other constituents, in 

line 5 of the “Hazardous constituents for which listed” column.

This is a new section added by the 65 FR 67068 (November 8, 2000) rule. Originally, 268.33 dealt with “Waste Specific 

Prohibitions – First Third Wastes,” but pursuant to 62 FR 25998-26040 (May 12, 1997; Revision Checklist 157), the section 

was removed and reserved effective August 11, 1997. Revision Checklist 165 (63 FR 24596; May 4, 1998) added a new 

section at 268.33 but this rule was vacated on April 9, 1999. The July 1, 2000 CFR reserved section 268.33.

3Note that in addition to adding a new footnote 12 to the table, the November 8, 2000 rule (Revision Checklist 189) also 

republished footnotes 1-5 and 11. The only changes to these footnotes were revising upper case “Part” and “Subpart” to 

lower case “part” and “subpart” in footnotes 5 and 11.

4 Note that although the amendatory language states the footnotes are republished without change, “mg/l” is incorrectly 

revised to “mg/L” in footnote 2. Also note that lower case “part” and “subpart” were incorrectly revised to upper case “Part” 

and “Subpart” in footnote 3. States should not adopt these revisions.
