Delisting Wastes
This document describes the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) hazardous waste listing regulations under the authority of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C 1 and includes hyperlinks to information that EPA has generated over the years to explain the listing regulations. The objective of this document is to consolidate and streamline the information on listing regulations to help Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) staff, state staff, industrial facilities, and the public understand hazardous waste listing regulations.
This document is only a reference document and is not to be used as a substitute for the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), itself, or the requirements contained in the CFR. This document is not a rulemaking. Additionally, this document only describes wastes that are considered listed hazardous wastes under the federal regulations. Most states are authorized to manage their own hazardous waste identification program. Therefore, states may have their own set of regulations that apply in lieu of federal regulations, and while most state hazardous waste regulations are based on the federal requirements, some states have developed regulations more stringent than the federal program. We direct you to the following website to determine if the state regulatory program is different from the federal program:
This document is organized in a manner similar to the way identification and listing of hazardous waste regulations are presented in Title 40 of the CFR at Part 261. Therefore, following an overview of the hazardous waste identification process, this document will present the four different lists under the RCRA regulations that describe the listed hazardous wastes. At the conclusion of this document, a procedure under the regulations to delist a waste is also described.
Please note that the Title 40 of the CFR at Part 261 information contained in this document is from the Government Printing Office’s Electronic Code of Federal Register (e-CFR) website as it existed in May 2007. To help stakeholders better understand specific requirements, we also have provided, where applicable, hyperlinks to Federal Register notices, frequently asked questions (FAQs), letters, and memoranda issued by EPA, as well as guidance documents developed by EPA that help in understanding the hazardous waste listing regulations. The hyperlinks included in this document for Federal Register notices published prior to October 1994 are from HeinOnline and are available by subscription to HeinOnline. By including this material, EPA does not endorse HeinOnline. We have attempted to identify the relevant FAQs, letters, memoranda, etc. on a particular listing-related subject. However, please note that it is possible that not every document developed over the years has been included in this reference document. Finally, once you have navigated to the regulatory “requirement” of interest, we have provided hyperlinks to the e-CFR website if the listing regulations cross-reference other relevant regulations.
1 Subtitle C of RCRA has been codified in the United States Code (U.S.C.) as the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SDWA), Subchapter III (Hazardous Waste Management), 42 U.S.C. §§ 6921 through 6939e
Because regulations are promulgated throughout the year, EPA intends to update this document periodically to remain up-to-date with hazardous waste listing regulations. Additionally, the Government Printing Office (GPO) frequently updates the e-CFR website to which this document is linked.
Information on how to navigate through the document
This document is navigable in several ways. First, stakeholders can use the Summary Chart on page eight to link directly to specific sections of the regulatory requirements for identification and listing of hazardous waste in the (e-CFR). The hyperlinks in the chart can be opened to the e-CFR by left-clicking on the mouse. Second, the pages on the Table of Contents can be opened in the same manner as described above to navigate through the body of the document. In addition, when the listing regulations cross-reference themselves or other regulations, there are hyperlinks to the e-CFR website which can be opened. The information contained in this website is current as of the date shown on the opened page. Finally, hyperlinks are contained within the lists of hazardous wastes following groupings of these wastes and can be opened to obtain further information on these wastes.
This document was developed by the Hazardous Waste Identification Division in the Office of Solid Waste. Please send any questions concerning this document to the following email address: chaudhari.narendra@epa.gov.
EPA's regulations establish two ways of identifying solid wastes as hazardous under RCRA. A waste may be considered hazardous if it exhibits certain hazardous properties (“characteristics”) or if it is included on a specific list of wastes EPA has determined are hazardous (“listing” a waste as hazardous) because we found them to pose substantial present or potential hazards to human health or the environment. EPA's regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR) define four hazardous waste characteristic properties: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity (see 40 CFR 261.21-261.24). This document presents the regulations developed that list wastes as hazardous in §§ 261.31 through 261.33. EPA plans to develop a separate document for characteristic wastes.
In order to list wastes EPA conducts a more specific assessment of a particular waste or category of wastes. The Agency will “list” them if they meet criteria set out in 40 CFR 261.11. As described in §261.11, we may list a waste as hazardous if the waste:
--exhibits any of the characteristics, i.e., ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity
(§261.11(a)(1));
--is “acutely” hazardous (e.g., if it is fatal to humans or animals at low doses, §261.11(a)(2)); or
--it contains any of the toxic constituents listed in 40 CFR part 261, Appendix VIII and, after consideration of various factors described in the regulation, is capable of posing a “substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed” (§261.11(a)(3)).
We place a substance on the list of hazardous constituents in Appendix VIII if scientific studies have shown the substance has toxic effects on humans or other life forms.
There are four different lists of hazardous wastes that are located in Title 40 of the CFR at Part 261. These four lists are:
• The F list (non-specific source wastes) - The F list designates as hazardous particular solid wastes from certain industrial or manufacturing processes. Because the processes producing these wastes can occur in different sectors of industry, the F list wastes are known as wastes from nonspecific sources. Wastes included on the F list are found in the regulations at 40 CFR § 261.31.
• The K list (source-specific wastes) - The K list designates particular solid wastes from certain specific industries as hazardous. Wastes included on the K list are found in the regulations at 40 CFR § 261.32.
• The P list and the U list (discarded commercial chemical products) - These two lists are similar in that both list as hazardous certain commercial chemical products when they are discarded or intended to be discarded. These listings consist of commercial chemical products having the generic names listed, off-specification species, container residues, and spill residues. The difference is that the chemicals on the P list are identified as acute hazardous wastes and those on the U list are identified as toxic wastes. Some chemicals on both lists may also be designated to have other properties. Wastes included on the P and U lists can be found in the regulations at 40 CFR § 261.33.
The above four lists each designate anywhere from 30 to a few hundred wastestreams as hazardous. Each waste on the lists is assigned a waste code consisting of the letter associated with the list followed by three numbers. For example, the wastes on the F list are assigned the waste codes F001, F002, and so on. These waste codes are an important part of the RCRA regulatory system. Assigning the correct waste code to a waste has important implications for the management standards that apply to the waste.
F Waste Groupings
• spent solvent wastes (F001 - F005)
• wastes from electroplating and other metal finishing operations (F006 - F012, and
F019)
• dioxin bearing wastes (F020 - F023 and F026 - F028)
• wastes from production of certain chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (F024 and
F025)
• wastes from wood preserving (F032, F034, and F035)
• petroleum refinery wastewater treatment sludges (F037 and F038)
• multisource leachate (F039)
K Waste Groupings
The K are divided into 13 subgroups of wastes from specific sources. The 13 subgroups of K-listed wastes are:
• wood preservation (K001)
• inorganic pigment manufacturing (K002 - K008)
• organic chemicals manufacturing (K009 - K011, K013 - K030, K083, K085, K093 - K096, K103 - K105, K107 - K118, K136, K149 - K151, K156 - K159, K161,
K174 - K175, and K181)
• inorganic chemicals manufacturing (K071, K073, K106, and K176 - K178)
• pesticides manufacturing (K031 - K043, K097 - K099, K123 - K126, and K131 -
K132)
• explosives manufacturing (K044 - K047)
• petroleum refining (K048 - K052, and K169 - K172)
• iron and steel production (K061 and K062)
• primary aluminum production (K088)
• secondary lead processing (K069 and K100)
• veterinary pharmaceuticals manufacturing (K084 and K101 - K102)
• ink formulation (K086)

§ 261.11 Criteria for listing hazardous waste.
(a) The Administrator shall list a solid waste as a hazardous waste only upon determining that the
solid waste meets one of the following criteria:
It exhibits any of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in subpart C.
It has been found to be fatal to humans in low doses or, in the absence of data on human
toxicity, it has been shown in studies to have an oral LD 50 toxicity (rat) of less than 50 milligrams per kilogram, an inhalation LC 50 toxicity (rat) of less than 2 milligrams per liter, or
a dermal LD 50 toxicity (rabbit) of less than 200 milligrams per kilogram or is otherwise capable
of causing or significantly contributing to an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness. (Waste listed in accordance with these criteria will be designated Acute Hazardous Waste.)
(3) It contains any of the toxic constituents listed in appendix VIII and, after considering the
following factors, the Administrator concludes that the waste is capable of posing a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported or disposed of, or otherwise managed:
The concentration of the constituent in the waste.
The potential of the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the constituent to
migrate from the waste into the environment under the types of improper management considered in paragraph (a)(3)(vii) of this section.
The potential for the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the constituent to
degrade into non-harmful constituents and the rate of degradation.
(vi) The degree to which the constituent or any degradation product of the constituent
bioaccumulates in ecosystems.
(ix) The nature and severity of the human health and environmental damage that has occurred as
a result of the improper management of wastes containing the constituent.
Action taken by other governmental agencies or regulatory programs based on the health or
environmental hazard posed by the waste or waste constituent.
Substances will be listed on appendix VIII only if they have been shown in scientific studies to have toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic effects on humans or other life forms. (Wastes listed in accordance with these criteria will be designated Toxic wastes.)
(b) The Administrator may list classes or types of solid waste as hazardous waste if he has reason
to believe that individual wastes, within the class or type of waste, typically or frequently are hazardous under the definition of hazardous waste found in section 1004(5) of the Act.
(c) The Administrator will use the criteria for listing specified in this section to establish the
exclusion limits referred to in § 261.5(c).
(a) A solid waste is a hazardous waste if it is listed in this subpart, unless it has been excluded
from this list under §§ 260.20 and 260.22.
(b) The Administrator will indicate his basis for listing the classes or types of wastes listed in this
subpart by employing one or more of the following Hazard Codes:
AppendixVII identifies the constituent which caused the Administrator to list the waste as a Toxicity Characteristic Waste (E) or Toxic Waste (T) in §§ 261.31 and 261.32.
Each hazardous waste listed in this subpart is assigned an EPA Hazardous Waste Number
which precedes the name of the waste. This number must be used in complying with the notification requirements of Section 3010 of the Act and certain recordkeeping and reporting requirements under parts 262 through 265, 268, and part 270 of this chapter.
(d) The following hazardous wastes listed in §261.31 or §261.32 are subject to the exclusion
limits for acutely hazardous wastes established in § 261.5: EPA Hazardous Wastes Nos. FO20, FO21, FO22, FO23, FO26, and FO27.
(a) The following solid wastes are listed hazardous wastes from non-specific sources unless they
are excluded under §§ 260.20 and 260.22 and listed in appendix IX.
