Do all pesticide active ingredient drums require rinsing?
The PFPR rule does not require rinsing of any drums or equipment, although other regulations (e.g., 40 CFR 165.9 in FIFIRA or 40 CFR 261.7(b)(3)) may require specific rinsing procedures for certain drums containing pesticide active ingredients or certain hazardous wastes. However, if a facility rinses these drums, the wastewater generated is subject to the PFPR rule.
