SPA 15 CONSOLIDATED CHECKLIST for the Treatability Studies Sample Exemption as of June 30, 1994 Note: 1) This checklist consolidates the changes to Federal code addressed by the.following Treatability Studies Sample Exemption checkliststhrough June 30, 1994:

• Revision Checklist 49 (53 FR27290; July 29, 1988) • Revision Checklist 129 (59 FR8362; February 18, 1994). 2) The standards addressed by 261.4(e) and (f) and introduced by the July 29,'1988 rule (53 FR 21290; Revision Checklist49) are less stringentthan existing Federal requirements; thus, authorized States are not required to adoptthem. EPA strongly encourages Statesto do so, however, to facilitate evaluating remediation alternatives for CERCLA clean-ups and for the RCRA Corrective Action Program. These requirements will also speed research and development for treatmentalternatives to land disposal and waste minimization, recycling, and reuse. These requirements were amended by a February 18, 1994rule (59 FR 8362-8366; Revision Checklist 129) which increasesthe quantityand time limitsfor contaminated mediato be used in treatability studies. Stateswhich are not authorized for Revision Checklist49 and who choose to adoptthis checklist are encouraged to adoptthe revisions addressed in Revision Checklist. 129 at the same time the requirements addressed by Revision Checklist49 are adopted.
