Title: DEFINITION OF SOLID WASTE
Document Date: 1986-09-15
To: Slemmer
From: Straus
Organization of Recipient: SolidTek Systems, Inc.
Description: Ignitable discarded paint with xylene is D001 as the xylene is not spent F003, nor a discarded unused CCP (U239). A mixture of waste listed solely for a characteristic with a solid waste is not hazardous waste if the mixture is not characteristic (SEE ALSO: 268.3; 66 FR 27266; 5/16/01). Spent toluene is F005, not F002. A pyridine osmium tetroxide mixture is not P- or U-listed because the mixture is not a pure or technical grade of the chemical or a sole active ingredient.
