EPA proposed concentration-based listing for certain paint waste solids (K179) and paint waste liquids (K180). A review of public comments and supplemental analysis determined that these paint wastes would not be listed as a hazardous waste.
The proposed and final rules as well as a fact sheet about the final rule can be found below:
