EPA and The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) discussed some of the issues
raised in TFI’s comments on the Supplemental Proposal, including
whether use constituting disposal should be included in the proposed
exclusions, the non-waste determination process (and UCD), interaction
of the supplemental proposal with the Bevill exclusion, and the use of
ammonia hydroxide in fertilizer. TFI stated that they feel this proposal
is an improvement over the 2003 proposal and OSW discussed the planned
schedule for the final rulemaking.
