Methods for Identifying Hazardous Waste

PURPOSE: This rule sets forth characteristics and lists by which a generator can determine whether their waste is hazardous. This rule defines hazardous waste under section 260.475, RSMo. The federal regulations in 40 CFR part 261 are incorporated by reference, subject to the modifications set forth in this rule. PUBLISHER’S NOTE: The secretary of state has determined that publication of the entire text of the material that is incorporated by reference as a portion of this rule would be unduly cumbersome or expensive. This material as incorporated by reference in this rule shall be maintained by the agency at its headquarters and shall be made available to the public for inspection and copying at no more than the actual cost of reproduction. This note applies only to the reference material. The entire text of the rule is printed here. Editor’s Note: Pursuant to American Mining Wastes v. the U.S. EPA, cited as 907 F2d 1179 (D.C. Cir. 1990), the following waste streams are not incorporated by reference in this rule: K064, K065, K066, K090, and K091. These waste streams were remanded to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the United States Court of Appeals until the EPA provides adequate justification to the court for the listing of the wastes as hazardous. Suspension of these wastes from the state rule was effective February 28, 1991.
