OPINION

RUSSELL, Circuit Judge:

The sole issue in this case is whether the "slag" produced by petitioner Owen Electric Steel Company ("Owen") at its Cayce, South Carolina, facility as a byproduct of steel production is "discarded," and therefore constitutes a "solid waste" under 42 U.S.C. § 6903(27).
