Under the proposed Second Amendment, FPC TX will cease treating the recovered groundwater onsite, and instead send the recovered wastewater offsite to a RCRA permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility. Accordingly, the RCRA hazardous waste listing will no longer carry through to the wastewater sludge.
