Section 252:515-1-7 - Beneficial reuse

(a) Upon request, and with supporting documentation, the DEQ may make a determination that a waste material is not a solid waste when it can be shown that the material is:

(1) being used as an ingredient in an industrial process to make a product;

(2) used as an effective substitute for commercial products;

(3) being returned to the original process from which it is generated, without first being reclaimed. The material must be returned as a substitute for raw material feed-stock and the process must use raw materials as principal feed-stocks; or

(4) in the possession of persons who actually possess the equipment necessary to process the material to comply with one of the above conditions.

(b) The DEQ may also make a reuse determination on other proposals based upon an evaluation of the contemplated use of the material and potential effects on human health and the environment.

(c) If waste is accumulated in anticipation of future markets or is stored in a quantity exceeding that which may be reasonably expected to be used or recycled within one (1) year, the material is regulated as a solid waste.
