On May 1S, 1998, the EPA issued a final rule certifying that the WIPP was compliant with applicable EPA TRU waste disposal regulations set forth in 40 CFR 191 and the compliance criteria of 40 CFR 194 (63 FR 27354~.

In ~ 970 the Atomic Energy Commission first identified TRU waste as a separated category of radioactive waste, and all TRU waste generated after 1970 has been segregated from low-teve! waste and placed in retrievable storage pending shipment to and disposal in an approved geologic repository.

: the New Mexico legislation that establishes the state hazardous waste management program. Newly Generated TRU Waste: waste generated after the development, approval, and implementation of the TRU waste characterization program that meets the requirements outlined in the TRU waste characterization quality assurance program plan.

first identified TRU waste as a separate category of radioactive waste. The same year, the Atomic Energy Commission determined that all TRU waste generated after ~ 970 must be segregated from low-level waste and placed in retrievable storage pending shipment to and disposal in an approved geologic repository.

The Waste Profile Form must provide a complete and concise description of the waste, including the details of the generating process. The Waste Profile Form process provides generators with guidance to help make the determination of the waste's physical, chemical, and radiological characteristics with sufficient accuracy to permit proper segregation, treatment, and disposal according to the final trealmenV6isposal facility's waste acceptance criteria.
