Sec. 9625. Section 6921(b)(3)(A)(i) waste


(a) Revision of hazard ranking system

    This section shall apply only to facilities which are not included 
or proposed for inclusion on the National Priorities List and which 
contain substantial volumes of waste described in section 
6921(b)(3)(A)(i) of this title. As expeditiously as practicable, the 
President shall revise the hazard ranking system in effect under the 
National Contingency Plan with respect to such facilities in a manner 
which assures appropriate consideration of each of the following site-
specific characteristics of such facilities:
        (1) The quantity, toxicity, and concentrations of hazardous 
    constituents which are present in such waste and a comparison 
    thereof with other wastes.
        (2) The extent of, and potential for, release of such hazardous 
    constituents into the environment.
        (3) The degree of risk to human health and the environment posed 
    by such constituents.

(b) Inclusion prohibited

    Until the hazard ranking system is revised as required by this 
section, the President may not include on the National Priorities List 
any facility which contains substantial volumes of waste described in 
section 6921(b)(3)(A)(i) of this title on the basis of an evaluation 
made principally on the volume of such waste and not on the 
concentrations of the hazardous constituents of such waste. Nothing in 
this section shall be construed to affect the President's authority to 
include any such facility on the National Priorities List based on the 
presence of other substances at such facility or to exercise any other 
authority of this chapter with respect to such other substances.
