Sec. 445.1  General applicability.

    (a) As defined more specifically in each subpart and except as 
provided in paragraphs (b) through (h) of this section, this part 
applies to discharges of wastewater from landfill units.
    (b) The provisions of this part do not apply to wastewater 
discharges from land application or land treatment units, surface 
impoundments, underground injection wells, waste piles, salt dome 
formations, salt bed formations, underground mines or caves as these 
terms are defined in 40 CFR 257.2 and 260.10.
    (c) The provisions of this part do not apply to wastewater generated 
off-site of a landfill facility, including wastewater generated off-site 
from washing vehicles or from waste transfer stations.
    (d) The provisions of this part do not apply to discharges of 
contaminated ground water or wastewater from recovery pumping wells.
    (e) This part does not apply to discharges of landfill wastewater 
from landfills operated in conjunction with other industrial or 
commercial operations when the landfill only receives wastes generated 
by the industrial or commercial operation directly associated with the 
landfill.
    (f) This part does not apply to discharges of landfill wastewater 
from landfills operated in conjunction with other industrial or 
commercial operations when the landfill receives wastes generated by the 
industrial or commercial operation directly associated with the landfill 
and also receives other wastes provided the other wastes received for 
disposal are generated by a facility that is subject to the same 
provisions in 40 CFR subchapter N as the industrial or commercial 
operation or the other wastes received are of similar nature to the 
wastes generated by the industrial or commercial operation.
    (g) This part does not apply to landfills operated in conjunction 
with Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) facilities subject to 40 CFR Part 
437 so long as the CWT facility commingles the landfill wastewater with 
other non-landfill wastewater for discharge. A landfill directly 
associated with a CWT facility is subject to this part if the CWT 
facility discharges landfill wastewater separately from other CWT 
wastewater or commingles the wastewater from its landfill only with 
wastewater from other landfills.
    (h) This part does not apply to landfills operated in conjunction 
with other

industrial or commercial operations when the landfill receives wastes 
from public service activities so long as the company owning the 
landfill does not receive a fee or other remuneration for the disposal 
service.
