ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5062-4]

 

Open Meeting on the Definition of Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste 
Recycling

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency.

Action: Notice of public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is conducting two 
public small group discussions with representatives of several 
companies potentially affected by recommendations from an internal 
Agency task force for revising the regulatory definition of solid waste 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery ACT (RCRA). Other 
attendees to these meetings would be afforded the opportunity at the 
appropriate times to ask questions or comment on the small group 
discussions.
    The revisions to the definition of solid waste are intended to 
eliminate the disincentives to the safe recycling of hazardous waste 
while maintaining full protection of human health and the environment. 
They are also intended to reduce any possible current underregulation 
of hazardous waste recycling.

DATES: September 20, 1994 from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM in Chicago, Illinois, 
and September 27, 1994 from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM in Edison, New Jersey.

ADDRESSES: The meeting in Chicago, Illinois will take place at the EPA 
Region 5 Office, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Lake Michigan Room,
