A bill to amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act to require that certain solid wastes be managed as hazardous wastes.

Summary

Amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act to include within the definition of "hazardous waste" any solid waste that: (1) is a mixture of a solid waste and a hazardous waste listed under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR); (2) is a mixture of solid waste and a hazardous waste that exhibits one or more of the characteristics identified under a specified subpart of the CFR unless the resultant mixture no longer exhibits such characteristics; or (3) is generated from the treatment, storage, or disposal of a hazardous waste. Authorizes the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to exclude from such definition solid wastes that would otherwise be deemed hazardous wastes as a result of being generated from the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous wastes.
