On October 7, 2008, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a new final rule that streamlines regulation of hazardous secondary materials to encourage beneficial recycling and help conserve resources. By removing unnecessary regulatory controls, EPA expects to make it easier and more cost-effective to safely recycle hazardous secondary material.
The final rule and associated documents can be found here:

The rule excludes materials from the federal hazardous waste system that are:
•generated and legitimately reclaimed under the control of the generator;
•generated and transferred to another company for legitimate reclamation under specific conditions; or
•determined by EPA or an authorized state to be non-wastes on a case-by-case basis via a petition process.
The rule also contains a provision to determine which recycling activities are legitimate under the new exclusions and non-waste determinations. These exclusions are not available for materials that are considered inherently waste-like, used in a manner constituting disposal, or burned for energy recovery.

We cannot use the provisions until WIDNR adopts them.
