Transportation of Solid Waste Military Munitions

When solid waste military munitions are transported, special criteria must be considered (refer to 40 CFR 266.203). If the solid waste military munitions exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic, or if they are listed as hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261, the munitions must be identified as hazardous waste. When a military munition is identified as hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261, it is subject to regulation under 40 CFR 260 through 270. Certain exceptions to these regulations apply when the munitions meet a variety of specific requirements.
