Pennsylvania DEP Panel to Review Controversial Waste Reclassification Rules
Original: DEP Solid Waste Advisory Committee Meets Oct. 7 To Review Draft Changes To Co-Product Determination Process For Reclassifying Materials As Not Waste; It Became Controversial In Debate Over Road Dumping Contaminated Water From Conventional Oil
Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection Solid Waste Advisory Committee meets October 7 to review draft changes to the co-product determination process, which allows certain materials to be reclassified as not waste. The process drew controversy during debate over road dumping of contaminated water from conventional oil and gas operations, and the revised rules are likely to face scrutiny from both industry and environmental advocates.
Why now: The co-product process became contentious in the fight over spreading contaminated conventional oil wastewater on roads, so changes to it are drawing attention.
