Expediency seems to be the only rationale for adding 6 more categories of waste to the list of wastes that are eligible for registration under EASR.
These 6 activities were exempted from eligibility for EASR; what has changed?

Asbestos waste, hazardous waste and biomedical waste have the potential to cause serious harm to the natural environment and human health.

Shifting these activities to EASR will necessitate more inspections and rule-enforcement. The MECP inspection branch is chronically under funded and prosecutions are expensive and time-cosuming.

The minimum liability insurance should be at least $2M and all spills should be reported to the public.
