--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On April 11, 2012, EPA met with various industries who expressed concerns regarding how construction and demolition (C&D) materials are characterized in the Non-hazardous Secondary Materials (NHSM) Rule (March 21, 2011, 76 FR 15456).  In particular, industry participants urged EPA to codify a categorical non-waste determination for processed C&D wood under the framework of the December 21 proposed rule (76 FR 80452) and summarized various best management practices that would constitute sufficient processing.  EPA asked clarifying questions.  Copies of meeting handouts are attached.  In addition, a list of attendees is below.
