d) Procedures for Demonstrating That Dyes or Pigments Nonwastewaters Are Not K181 Waste. The procedures described in subsections (d)(1) through (d)(3) and (d)(5) establish when nonwastewaters from the production of dyes or pigments would not be hazardous. (These procedures apply to wastes that are not disposed of in landfill units or treated in combustion units, as specified in subsection (a)). If the nonwastewaters are disposed of in landfill units or treated in combustion units as described in subsection (a), then the nonwastewaters are not hazardous. In order to demonstrate that it is meeting the landfill disposal or combustion conditions contained in the K181 waste listing description, the generator must maintain documentation as described in subsection (d)(4).
