Conditionally
Exempt Small Quantity Generators Rule - Standards for Non-Municipal Solid
Waste Units that Receive CESQG Hazardous Waste
In 1996, EPA issued regulations that require any existing non-municipal,
non-hazardous waste disposal unit that receives CESQG waste to comply
with new technical standards, however, the rule continues to allow disposal
of CESQG hazardous waste in municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) when
such landfills meet Part 258 criteria. Reuse or recycling facilities also
continue to be an acceptable option for managing CESQG hazardous waste.
