Summary of EPA Meeting with Textile Rental Services Association of America (TRSA)
                                October 5, 2011
                                       
On Wednesday, October 5, 2011, members from EPA's Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) met with members of TRSA to answer their questions on the Solvent-Contaminated Industrial Wipes rulemaking. TRSA asked whether EPA was on track to finish the rulemaking. EPA confirmed that the rule is on schedule and is anticipated to be completed June 2012. TRSA also asked whether the 2011 Definition of Solid Waste proposed rule (published July 22, 2011) would impact the wipes final rulemaking. EPA stated that the two rulemakings are separate and that the DSW final rulemaking was not expected to impact the schedule for the wipes final rule. TRSA asked whether they could include comments on potential impacts of the DSW proposed rule on the wipes rulemaking. EPA confirmed that TRSA could include any comments they would like. TRSA also discussed their LaundryESP program.
