EPA is proposing to amend the list of hazardous wastes from non-specific sources under 40 CFR 261.31 by modifying the scope of EPA Hazardous Waste No. F019, which currently reads: ÂWastewater treatment sludges from the chemical conversion coating of aluminum except from zirconium phosphating in aluminum can washing when such phosphating is an exclusive conversion coating process. EPA is proposing two options that would amend the F019 listing to exclude wastewater treatment sludges generated from zinc phosphating, when zinc phosphating is used in the motor vehicle manufacturing process, provided that the wastes are disposed in a landfill unit that meets certain liner design requirements. In addition, EPA is proposing to require the generators of these wastes to keep records showing that their wastes were disposed in a landfill that meets the specified liner design requirements.
