cluster munitions and dispensers, demolition charges, and devices
and components thereof; and
(B) includes non-nuclear components of nuclear devices,
managed under DOE's nuclear weapons program after all required sanitization
operations under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, have been
completed; but
(C) does not include wholly inert items, improvised
explosive devices, and nuclear weapons, nuclear devices, and nuclear
components thereof.
(109) Miscellaneous unit--A hazardous waste management
unit where hazardous waste is stored, processed, or disposed of and
that is not a container, tank, surface impoundment, pile, land treatment
unit, landfill, incinerator, boiler, industrial furnace, underground
injection well with appropriate technical standards under Chapter
331 of this title (relating to Underground Injection Control), corrective
action management unit, containment building, staging pile, or unit
eligible for a research, development, and demonstration permit or
under Chapter 305, Subchapter K of this title (relating to Research,
Development, and Demonstration Permits).
(110) Movement--That solid waste or hazardous waste
transported to a facility in an individual vehicle.
(111) Municipal hazardous waste--A municipal solid
waste or mixture of municipal solid wastes which has been identified
or listed as a hazardous waste by the administrator of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency.
(112) Municipal solid waste--Solid waste resulting
