| Description: | There are no solids or organics content or % water limits for “primarily aqueous” wastewater streams. Addresses the industrial wastewater discharge exclusion (261.4(b)(2)) and “commonly defined by the industry as wastewaters,” and provides examples. The wastewater treatment unit (WWTU) exemption is not for surface impoundments. Discusses “trigger” levels for possible coke by-product K-listings. The listing will be based on 261.11 criteria, which are based on potential hazards and mismanagement, but are not based directly on waste minimization. |
