Standards for the Management of Cement Kiln Dust Waste

Addtional Data Available on Wastes Studied in the Report to Congress on Cement Kiln Dust - July 25, 2002

This Notice of Data Availability (NODA) announces the availability for public inspection and comment, of recently acquired data on cement kiln dust (CKD) studies in the Agency's December 1993 "Report to Congress on Cement Kiln Dust" (see 59 FR 709, 1/6/94). The Agency is now considering an approach whereby it would finalize the proposed option of issuing the CKD management standards as described in the August 20, 1999 proposal (64 FR 45632), as a RCRA Subtitle D rule and would suspend its active consideration of the proposed Subtitle C rule. Depending on how CKD management practices and state regulatory programs evolve over the next 3 to 5 years, EPA will either formally withdraw the Subtitle C portion of the 1999 proposal or pursue the tailored RCRA Subtitle C requirements.

August 20, 1999

The Environmental Protection Agency (``we'' or EPA) is today proposing a creative, affordable, and common sense approach for the management of cement kiln dust (CKD) waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). CKD would remain a non-hazardous waste provided the following management standards are met. First, for ground-water protection, the Agency is proposing management standards which require a landfill to be designed to control releases of toxic metals to ground water at the point of compliance. Second, to control releases of fugitive dust, the proposed management standards would require persons managing CKD waste to cover or otherwise manage the landfill, CKD handling areas, and CKD storage areas to control wind dispersal of fugitive CKD. Finally, this rule also proposes concentration limitations on various pollutants in CKD used for agricultural purposes. This rule also proposes RCRA Subtitle C regulatory standards for CKD that is not managed according to the management standards described above.
