Comments and Reply: Schedule 4
Provincial and industry stakeholders provided comments with respect to Schedule 4 of the proposed Regulations.
These lists appear to be very similar to EPA and Ontario lists. For the ease of use, the codes used should at least be cross-referenced to EPA and Ontario codes.
This listing should provide waste classes used by the EPA.
Response: Environment Canada agrees that the lists in Schedule 4 should be harmonized to the extent possible, including with those of the Ontario MOE and the U.S. EPA. Accordingly, the lists have been re-coded.
The waste classes used by the U.S. EPA are similar to those used by the proposed Regulations; however, they are not exactly the same. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to include the U.S. waste classes in the proposed Regulations. Environment Canada will consider further clarification through compliance-promotion material.
