ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 261

[EPA-R04-RCRA-2008-0900; FRL-9124-8]

Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of
Hazardous Waste; Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting the petition
submitted by The Valero Refining Company--Tennessee, LLC (Valero) to
exclude or ``delist'' a certain sediment generated by its Memphis
Refinery in Memphis, Tennessee from the lists of hazardous wastes. This
final rule responds to a petition submitted by Valero to delist F037
waste. The F037 waste is sediment generated in the Storm Water Basin.
    After careful analysis and use of the Delisting Risk Assessment
Software (DRAS), EPA has concluded the petitioned waste is not
hazardous waste. The F037 exclusion is a one-time exclusion for 2,700
cubic yards of the F037 Storm Water Basin sediment. Accordingly, this
final rule excludes the petitioned waste from the requirements of
hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA).

DATES: Effective Date: March 10, 2010.

ADDRESSES: The public docket for this final rule is available either
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the
RCRA and OPA Enforcement and Compliance Branch, RCRA Division, U.S.
