The land disposal restrictions (LDR) establish stringent standards prescribing how hazardous wastes must be treated before they can be disposed in or on the land. Thus far, EPA has issued LDR standards for spent solvents; so-called first-, second-, and third-third wastes; underground injection activities; debris contaminated with hazardous waste constituents; and {open_quotes}newly listed or identified{close_quotes} wastes. Historically, the Agency`s strategy has been to issue a treatment standard for each particular waste subject to LDR limitations. On September 14, 1993, (58 FR 48092-204), EPA broke with tradition and processed treatment standards for toxicity characteristic (TC) wastes (D018-D043) and hazardous soil based on the concept of {open_quotes}universal treatment standards.{close_quotes} Under this scheme, the standards would apply to these wastes on a constiuent-by-constituent, rather than waste-code-by-waste-code, basis. 2 figs., 7 tabs.
