SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The Department of Health and Environmental Control will amend R.61-79, Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, to add listings for certain organotin manufacturing residues. The Department will add South Carolina-designated hazardous wastes from specific sources to current regulations by including waste residues from the manufacture of organotin compounds, which contain tri- (organo) substituted organotin compounds, to include tributyltin and its analogs. These South Carolina-designated hazardous wastes will be included in the 261.32 hazardous waste list, and the new South Carolina-designated hazardous waste constituents will also be incorporated into 261 Appendix VII, 261 Appendix VIII, and 264 Appendix IX. See Discussion below and Statement of Need and Reasonableness herein.

The Notice of Drafting was published December 22, 2000. One comment was received, which stated that one of the companies releasing these proposed South Carolina-designated hazardous wastes has modified its process to recycle future wastes. The Notice of Proposed Regulations published on July 27, 2001, received one favorable comment and no critical comments. Only DHEC staff attended the Staff Informational Forum on August 27, 2001. See also Discussion of Proposed Revisions and Statement of Reasonableness.
