In 2003, EPA proposed to modify the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste regulations for management of solvent-contaminated industrial wipes. EPA proposed to conditionally exclude wipes that are disposed of from the definition of hazardous waste and to conditionally exclude laundered wipes from the definition of solid waste. Based on comments received on the proposal, EPA revised its risk analysis used to evaluate the risks to human health and the environment if solvent-contaminated wipes or laundry sludge are disposed of in a municipal solid waste landfill. A Notice of Data Availability was published in the Federal Register to allow the public the opportunity to comment on the revised risk analysis. If finalized, this regulation will impact the management of two types of solvent-contaminated wipes: (1) wipes disposed of in land disposal units or by combustion after use, and (2) wipes that are laundered after use to remove the solvent and then are used again.

The final rule sets forth minimal recordkeeping requirements, which are needed to enable compliance monitoring with the conditions of the exclusions. Containers of reusable wipes must be labeled to identify their contents, ensuring they are managed in a compliant manner. In addition, generators of reusable wipes must retain specified information onsite, which EPA and state inspectors can review to evaluate compliance. EPA believes these requirements are needed to ensure safe and compliant management of excluded wipes.
