In 1978, EPA’s first proposed hazardous waste regulations under RCRA contained a carve-out for “oil and gas drilling muds” and “production brines” exempting them from storage, treatment and disposal standards to which hazardous wastes were subject.

EPA, however, has recently been challenged by a coalition of NGO’s alleging that EPA failed to perform required triennial reviews required under subtitle D of RCRA.
This presentation will address the scope of the exemption as it has existed and evolved since 1988, consider various liability scenarios for the handling of such waste under applicable law, and review some of the implications of current legal challenges.
