40 CFR 261.4(a) Paragraph a of section 261.4 identifies 26 materials excluded from regulation as a solid waste. If a material does not meet the definition of a solid waste, it cannot be a hazardous waste. 40 CFR 261.4(a)(5) @DanielsTraining 3 Solid Waste Hazardous Waste
What is Excluded @ 40 CFR 261.4(a)? 1) Domestic sewage. 2) Point source discharge 3) Irrigation return flow 4) Radioactive waste In-situ mining 1) Pulping liquors 2) Spent sulfuric acid 3) Reclamation in enclosed tanks 9) Spent wood preservatives 10) Coke by-product wastes 11) Splash condenser dross residue 4@DanielsTraining40 CFR 261.4(a)(5)

In-Situ Mining Waste In-situ (in-place) mining of certain minerals may involve the application of solvent solutions directly to a mineral deposit in the ground. The solvent passes through the ground, collecting the mineral as it moves. The mineral and solvent mixtures are then collected in underground wells where the solution is removed. Such solvent-contaminated earth, or any nonrecovered solvent, is excluded from the definition of solid waste when left in place. @DanielsTraining 7 2011 RCRA Orientation Manual 40 CFR 261.4(a)(5)
The following materials are not solid wastes for the purpose of this part Generated during in- situ mining . And Left in place. 40 CFR 261.4(a)(5) @DanielsTraining 8
More to Consider (1)Definition In-situ means in its original place. In position. In-situ leaching (ISL), also called in-situ recovery (ISR) or solution mining, is a mining process used to recover minerals such as copper and uranium through boreholes drilled into a deposit, in situ. The process initially involves drilling of holes into the ore deposit. 40 CFR 261.4(a)(5) @DanielsTraining 9 Wikipedia.org
More to Consider (2) There are other conditional exclusions from regulation for the mining industry: 40 CFR 261.4(b)(3) Exclusion from hazardous waste for mining overburden. 40 CFR 261.4(b)(7) Exclusion from hazardous waste for certain mining wastes generated during the extraction, beneficiation, & processing of minerals. 40 CFR 261.4(a)(5) @DanielsTraining 10
More to Consider (3) Check with your State as it may not recognize this Federal exclusion. 40 CFR 261.4(a)(5) @DanielsTraining 11
40 CFR 261.4(a)(5) Verbatim: (a) Materials which are not solid wastes. The following materials are not solid wastes for the purpose of this part: (5) Materials subjected to in-situ mining techniques which are not removed from the ground as part of the extraction process. 40 CFR 261.4(a)(5) @DanielsTraining 12
