RCRA REVISION CHECKLIST 170
	
Land Disposal Restrictions Phase IV -- Zinc Micronutrient Fertilizers, Amendment
63 FR 46332-46334
August 31, 1998
(RCRA Cluster IX, HSWA)

Note: This August 31, 1998 (63 FR 46332) notice stays the land disposal treatment standards for metal-bearing hazardous wastes which exhibit the characteristic of toxicity as it applies to zinc micronutrient fertilizers.  Zinc micronutrient fertilizers are now subject to the applicable treatment standards in 268.41 contained in the July 1, 1990 edition of the CFR.  The stay remains in effect until further regulatory action is taken by the Agency.  If and when further action is taken, EPA will publish a notice in the Federal Register (a notice of Proposed Rulemaking is expected in 1999).  A checklist is necessary because the code is affected.  Because this amendment raises the level to which certain constituents must be treated and is, therefore, less stringent than previous standards, States are not required to adopt this checklist.  As such, this checklist has been designated as optional.
