23. Question/Comments

Honda of America Mfg., Inc. strongly endorses and supports US EPA's 

consideration of amending the F019 waste code to exclude from the F019 

listing wastewater treatment sludges from zinc phosphating processes if 

certain constituents of concern fall below certain levels.  Honda also 

generally endorses the proposed methodology for determing when to apply 

the exclusion.  

Honda does have one reservation with the proposal, however.  Based on
the 

information provided, the proposed exclusion would apply only to 

automotive assembly plants.  Honda operates a motorcycle manufacturing 

plant in close proximity to our automobile manufacturing plants, and we 

are unable to think of a reason why wastewater treatment sludges from
the 

zinc phosphating of motorcycles should not be subject to an exclusion 

available to automobiles, as long as the constituents of concern are
below 

the specified levels.   Indeed, regardless of the specific type of 

aluminum substrate being subjected to the zinc phosphating process (i.e.


automobiles, motorcycles, auto parts, motorcycle parts, etc.) as long as


constituents of concern in the treatment sludges are below specified 

levels, should not the process be excluded from the F019 listing?   

Honda appreciates US EPA's efforts in this regard, and Honda will
provide 

any assistance it can to support US EPA's proposal, which will eliminate


the unnecessary and cumbersome application of RCRA to a relatively 

innocuous process.

Respectfully Submitted,

Chris Korleski
