Summary

Arsenic-Treated Residential-Use Lumber Prohibition Act - Amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act to: (1) list lumber treated with a pesticide that is a chromated copper arsenical (CCA lumber) as a hazardous waste; (2) require disposal of discarded CCA lumber, notwithstanding regulations exempting certain solid wastes from the definition of hazardous waste, in a lined landfill with a leachate system and groundwater monitoring system; (3) require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct an assessment of the risks of CCA lumber production and use; and (4) direct the Administrator to promulgate regulations for the gradual cessation and prohibition of production of such lumber. Requires the Administrator to: (1) develop and conduct an educational program to assist consumers, municipalities, and school systems in testing arsenic levels and making decisions concerning CCA lumber containment and removal; and (2) establish a pilot program of grants and technical assistance to assist school systems in removal of playground and other equipment containing CCA lumber and remediation activities. Amends the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act to require the Administrator to promulgate regulations prohibiting the use of CCA lumber in the manufacture, production, or use of any product that may be used for or by children and for any residential purpose.
