RULE §335.211Applicability

(a) The regulations of this section and §§335.212 - 335.214 of this title (relating to Standards Applicable to Generators and Transporters of Materials Used in a Manner that Constitutes Disposal; Standards Applicable to Storers of Materials That Are To Be Used In a Manner that Constitutes Disposal Who Are Not the Ultimate Users; and Standards Applicable to Users of Materials That Are Used in a Manner that Constitutes Disposal) apply to recyclable materials that are applied to or placed on the land:

  (1) without mixing with any other substance(s);

  (2) after mixing or combination with any other substance(s). These materials will be referred to throughout this subpart as materials used in a manner that constitutes disposal.

(b) Products produced for the general public's use that are used in a manner that constitutes disposal and that contain recyclable materials are not presently subject to regulation if the recyclable materials have undergone a chemical reaction in the course of producing the product so as to become inseparable by physical means and if such products meet the applicable treatment standards in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 268, Subpart D (or applicable prohibition levels in 40 CFR §268.32 or Resource Conservation Recovery Act, §3004(d), where no treatment standards have been established) for each recyclable material (i.e., hazardous waste) that they contain, and the recycler complies with 40 CFR §268.7(b)(6). Commercial fertilizers that are produced for the general public's use that contain recyclable materials also are not presently subject to regulation provided they meet these same treatment standards or prohibition levels for each recyclable material that they contain. However, zinc-containing fertilizers using hazardous waste K061 that are produced for the general public's use are not presently subject to regulation.

(c) Anti-skid/deicing uses of slags, which are generated from high temperature metals recovery (HTMR) processing of hazardous waste K061, K062, and F006, in a manner constituting disposal are not covered by the exemption in subsection (b) of this section and remain subject to regulation.
