Introduction

This report presents the results of an analysis of hazardous secondary material recycling-related 

damage cases that are likely correlated with an exclusion, exemption or alternative standard in

the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 

(RCRA) hazardous waste management 

regulations found in Title 40 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR Parts 260-279). 

As part of the 2008 rulemaking revising the 

Definition of Solid Waste (DSW) regulations, EPA 

developed a report, An Assessment of 

Environmental Problems Associated with 

Recycling of Hazardous Secondary Materials1and 

its addendums (Environmental Problems Study) 

that includes 223 damage cases. As described in 

the Environmental Problems Study, EPA used the 

following criteria to designate damage cases:

 Environmental damage can be attributed 

to some type of recycling activity; 

 Some form of environmental damage 

appears to have occurred during or after 

the year 1982; and,

 The material recycled was regulated 

hazardous wastes, or hazardous 

secondary materials that are specifically 

excluded from RCRA regulation. 

Additional details about the methodology used 

to identify and collect information about the 

damage cases, and the information collected, is 

contained in the Environmental Problems Study 

and addendums.

In response to concerns raised by the Sierra Club 

and other environmental organizations, EPA is asking for comment on potential revisions to the

2008 DSW final rule. As part of this new 2011 rulemaking, EPA further analyzed the damage 

cases identified in the Environmental Problems Study to determine whether the damage cases 

were likely associated with an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard within the hazardous 

waste management regulations. EPA is using this analysis to help assess whether certain 

exclusions, exemptions, or alternate standards are adequately protecting human health and the 

environment.

Methodology

The majority of exclusions, exemptions, and alternate standards for recycling hazardous 

secondary materials do not include notification requirements. This lack of data hinders EPA’s 

ability to collect information regarding what regulations a specific facility was operating under 

when damage occurred. Because this information is limited, the Agency developed a 

methodology that correlates the type of hazardous secondary materials identified in the 

damage cases to regulations that likely governed the management of the material. This 

methodology allows EPA to identify patterns related to the types of hazardous secondary 

material involved in damage cases and whether those materials were likely to be managed 

under an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard.

Step 1 Identify RCRA regulations associated with recycling of hazardous secondary materials

EPA reviewed the RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations to identify those regulations 

that are associated with hazardous waste recycling. Each regulation was also listed with the 

effective date of the regulation. These regulations include recycling-related exclusions to the 

definition of solid waste under 40 CFR 261.4(a), recycling-related exemptions from the 

definition of hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261.6, and alternate standards for recycling, such 

as 40 CFR Part 266 Subpart F (precious metal recycling). 40 CFR 261.7,which excludes residues 

of hazardous waste in empty containers, was also included because this regulation is largely 

associated with drum recycling. The recycling-related regulations used in this analysis are 

shown in Table 1.

EPA excluded some recycling-related regulations that were not specific to a type of hazardous 

secondary material. For example, 261.2 (e), Materials that are not solid waste when reused, is 

broadly applicable to many recycled materials, and could not be associated with any particular 

material in the damage cases and thus was not included in Table 1.

 Batteries

 Commercial chemical product

 Drums

 Spent solvents

 Spent acids/bases

 Used oil

 Other petroleum wastes

 Scrap metals

 Precious metal-containing wastes

 Mercury-containing wastes

 Other metal-bearing wastes

 Other wastes (foundry sands, pollution 

control dusts, smelting wastes, 

combustion ash, asphaltic wastes and 

other wastes that do not fit any of the 

above waste descriptions)

Step 2 Categorize the type of hazardous secondary material for each damage case 

EPA categorized the hazardous secondary materials managed in the damage cases into 12 

major hazardous secondary material types, 

based on the information from the 

Environmental Problems Study and 

Addendums. These material types are listed in 

the box to the right. EPA identified one or 

more of these materials for each damage case.

Step 3 Correlate the list of recycling 

regulations to the 12 types of hazardous 

secondary material

EPA then correlated the list of recycling-related 

regulations in Table 1 to the 12 hazardous 

secondary material types identified in Step 2. 

The results of this correlation are listed in Table 

1.

Step 4 Evaluate the likelihood of correlation 

between hazardous secondary material type 

to each regulation.

EPA then evaluated whether each correlation 

was either “likely” or “potential,” based on the following criteria:

 Likely – Correlations were evaluated to be “likely” if the regulations identified a specific 

hazardous secondary material type that fit with one of the 12 hazardous secondary 

material types in the damage cases. For example, damage cases where the recycled 

material is identified as “batteries” are considered to be likely correlated with 40 CFR 

273.2 & Part 266 Subpart G – Batteries. 

 Potential –Correlations were evaluated to be “potential” if the hazardous secondary 

material type correlated with a regulation was determined to be too broad to make any 

direct conclusions. For example, 261.4(a)(7), Spent Sulfuric Acid is correlated with “spent 

acids/bases”; however, there are many other types of acids and bases and thus we cannot 

reasonably assume that all damage cases associated with spent acids and bases involve 

spent sulfuric acid.

Step 5 Remove “Potential” correlations

After evaluating the correlations, EPA identified 8 likely correlations and 23 potential

correlations (shown in Table 1). Because the potential correlations are not strong correlations 

and thus cannot be used to make reasonable assumptions within this analysis, we did not 

consider these further in the study. Table 2 includes the 8 likely correlations after the 23 

potential correlations are eliminated.

Step 6 Identify the start and end dates of the damage in each damage case 

EPA identified the start and end dates for the recycling activities associated with environmental 

damage for each damage case based on the information from the Environmental Problems 

Study and Addendums. For each damage case, EPA reviewed the damage case history and 

identified the dates on which the damage-related recycling activities began and ended. Where 

historical information about damage-related recycling activities was not available, EPA assumed 

recycling activities began when the facility began operation, and ceased when the facility was 

abandoned or site operations ceased. 

Step 7 Correlate the damage cases to an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard

EPA then analyzed which damage cases may be correlated with a regulation by 1) comparing 

the type of hazardous secondary material in each damage case to whether that type of 

hazardous secondary material was likely correlated with an exclusion, exemption, or alternate 

standard; and 2) comparing the date of the damage case to the effective date of the regulation.

EPA assumed that a damage case was correlated with a regulation where all of the criteria 

below were met: 

 The damage case included recycling of a hazardous secondary material that could be 

correlated to an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard.

 The correlation between the type of hazardous secondary material and the regulation 

was determined to be “likely” in Step 4.

 The regulation was effective when the damage occurred.

Results

118 damage cases out of a total 223 (53%) were found to be likely correlated with one or more 

regulatory exclusions, exemptions, or alternative standards. Table 3 shows the number of 

damage cases likely correlated with a specific regulation. Additionally, Table 4 lists each 

damage case counted in Table 3 by the type of hazardous secondary material. Table 5 lists the 

same damage cases ranked alphabetically by state. 

EPA notes that these results potentially underreport damage cases that may be associated with 

other exclusions, exemptions, or alternative standards. There are two reasons for this:

 First, as discussed, these regulations do not require periodic notification to regulatory 

authorities and thus the Agency has to rely on comparing the type of hazardous 

secondary materials associated with the damage cases to the type of hazardous 

secondary material covered by the exclusions, exemptions, or alternate standards. This 

means we can only conservatively identify correlations where the type of hazardous 

secondary material very clearly matches to an exclusion (e.g., scrap metal); we lack 

information to make inferences for broadly applicable exclusions, (e.g., use/reuse) or for 

broadly defined hazardous secondary materials (e.g., “metal-bearing wastes”).
11

 Second, we note that in the Environmental Problems Study only nine of the damage 

cases were operating under a RCRA permit at the time of damage. Thus, the majority of 

the damage cases were operating outside of RCRA, inferring these facilities were likely 

operating under an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard. 

Readers seeking more information about a particular damage case are encouraged to consult
