Title: APPLICABILITY OF F006 HAZARDOUS WASTE CODE TO NICKEL RECLAMATION PROCESS FOR ELECTROLESS NICKEL PLATING SPENT SOLUTIONS
Document Date: 1994-09-21
To: Downing
From: Brandes
Organization of Recipient: Fidelity Chemical Products Corp.
Description: Electroless plating is not covered by the F006 listing. Spent electroless nickel solutions may be hazardous waste if mixed with a listed hazardous waste, if derived from a listed hazardous waste, or if they exhibit a characteristic. Because the scrap metal definition is based on physical form, the determination of whether nickel-plated steel wool generated during nickel-recovery is scrap metal should be made by the State or Regional office.
