Once the Department grants a BUD, the waste material ceases to be considered a solid waste (for the purposes of Part 360) when used as described. There are 16 pre-determined BUDs listed in 6 NYCRR Part 360-1.15(b). If any of these specific wastes are used by a generator or end user in the manner noted in Part 360-1.15(b), they are not considered solid wastes. In situations where a particular proposed reuse is not specifically identified in Subdivision 360-1.15(b), generators and potential users can petition the Department for a case-specific BUD in accordance with Subdivision 360-1.15(d).
