The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responding to a rulemaking petition from the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) and People for Protecting Peace River, on behalf of a consortium of non- profit groups. The EPA has been petitioned to promulgate rules that reverse the EPA 1991 Bevill regulatory determination excluding phosphogypsum and phosphoric acid production process wastewater from Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations; and govern the safe treatment, storage and disposal of phosphogypsum and process wastewater as hazardous wastes under RCRA Subtitle C. After careful consideration, the EPA is proposing to deny the petition for the reasons discussed in this document. The EPA is also soliciting public comment on this proposed denial.
The agency’s own summary, as published.
