Agency Note: In rare circumstances, a facility that processes solvent-contaminated wipes for reuse may receive a container of wipes that includes free liquids, either unexpectedly as a result of effects such as compression, gravity, or percolation, or as a result of improper management by the generator before transport. In such circumstances, the processing facility is required to remove the free liquids from the solvent-contaminated wipes and the container, characterize the liquids as to whether they meet the definition of hazardous waste, and manage the liquids in accordance with the applicable requirements of COMAR 26.13.03. After removal of the free liquids, the facility may still process the wipes for reuse.
C. Qualifiers on Exclusions of Materials from Regulation as Solid Waste.
