(a) The requirements regarding recyclable materials used in a manner constituting disposal of 40 CFR 266.20 to 266.23, inclusive, [1994 ed., as amended by 59 FR 43496, August 24, 1994 and 59 FR 47982, September 19, 1994]2003 ed., are adopted and incorporated by reference.

 

R315-14-8. Military Munitions.

For purposes of 19-6-102(17)(a), a used or fired military munition is a solid waste, and, therefore, is potentially subject to 19-6-105(1)(d) and 19-6-112, or imminent and substantial endangerment authorities under 19-6-115 if the munition lands off-range and is not promptly rendered safe or retrieved or both. Any imminent and substantial threats associated with any remaining material shall be addressed. If remedial action is infeasible, the operator of the range shall maintain a record of the event for as long as any threat remains. The record shall include the type of munition and its location, to the extent the location is known.
