Summary

Introduced in House, Jul 20, 2023

This bill eliminates the exemption of waste associated with the exploration, development, or production of crude oil, natural gas, or geothermal energy from regulations governing the disposal of hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

Within a year of enactment, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must

  • determine whether such waste meets the criteria for hazardous waste,
  • promulgate regulations concerning the disposal of such waste if the EPA determines it is hazardous, and
  • revise regulations applicable to solid waste management and disposal facilities (e.g., landfills) to address such waste that is nonhazardous.
