SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
This guidance document has been prepared to assist RCRA Subtitle C Treatment Storage and
Disposal (TSD) and solvent recovery facilities in complying with the reporting requirements of
Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA, Public
Law 99-499, Title ffl of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, hereafter
EPCRA Section 313) and Section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA). This guidance
document is intended for use along with the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Form R
and Instructions document published annually by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). For further assistance and to obtain copies of the ktest version of this instruction
document, contact the EPCRA Hotline at 1-800-535-0202. The other EPCRA reporting
programs are summarized at the end of this section. ;
One of the primary goals of the EPCRA program is to increase the public's knowledge of, and
access to, information on both the presence of Section 313 chemicals in their communities and on
releases and other waste management activities of Section 313 chemicals into the environment.
Since 1987, certain facilities in the manufacturing sector have been reporting information on
releases and other waste management activities of Section 313 chemicals to EPA and states
throughout the United States. As a result of an EPA rulemaking (62 FR 23834, May 1,1997),
certain additional industry groups, including RCRA Subtitle C TSD (Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Major Groups 49) and solvent recovery (Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) Major Groups 73), are now required to evaluate their chemical use and management
activities to determine potential reporting responsibilities under EPCRA Section 313.
I
Section 313 establishes annual reporting requirements for Section 313 Section 313 chemicals
provided that certain activity thresholds are met. Section 313: includes a list of over 650
chemicals and chemical categories. These chemicals and chemical categories were either
originally selected by Congress or were added by EPA through rulemaking.
The Section 313 reporting requirements apply to owners or operators of facilities which meet all
of the following three criteria:
• The facility must be in SIC code 10 (except 1011,1081, and 1094), or 12 (except 1241),
or 20-39 (manufacturing facilities), or 4911 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or
oil for the purpose of generating power for distribution in commerce), 4931 (limited to
facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating power for distribution
in commerce) and 4939 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose
of generating power for distribution in commerce), or :4953 (limited to facilities

regulated under RCRA subtitle C), or 5169, or 5171, or 7389 (limited to facilities
primarily engaged in solvent recovery services on a contract or fee basis); and,
• The facility must have 10 or more full-time employees (or the total hours worked by all
employees is greater than 20,000 hours), and
• The facility manufactures (defined to include importing), processes, or otherwise uses any
Section 313 chemical in quantities greater than the established threshold in the course of a
calendar year.
For each Section 313 chemical or chemical category, covered facilities must report the total
annual releases, both routine and accidental, to all environmental media; and other on-site waste
management activities, including quantities recycled, combusted for energy recovery and treated
for destruction, and off-site transfers for disposal, waste treatment, energy recovery and recycling.
This information is submitted on the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI) Reporting Form,
which is called the "Form R." (As discussed in the following chapter, facilities meeting certain
conditions are eligible to report using an abbreviated Form A.)
The annual Form R or Form A reports are submitted to EPA headquarters and to a state
designated agency, usually a State Emergency Response Comission (SERC) buy may be a Tribal
Emergency Response Comission (TERC), annually on or before July 1st for activities occurring
during the previous calendar year (e.g., July 1,1999, for activities during the period from January
1 to December 31, 1998).
EPCRA mandated that EPA establish and maintain a national TRI database to assist in research
and the development of regulations, guidelines, and standards related to Section 313 chemicals
and to make the TRI data available to the general public and any interested parties. The TRI
database is computer-accessible to anyone with a modem via the National Library of Medicine's
TOXNET on-line system. The TRI data are also available through many other sources, including
EPA's Internet Web site; public libraries on microfiche; the Government Printing Office on CD-
ROM; and the National Technical Information Service on magnetic tape and individual state
diskettes.
Facility owners or operators who violate the Section 313 reporting provisions may be assessed
civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. In addition, state enforcement
provisions may also be applicable depending on the state's EPCRA Section 313 reporting
regulations.

Reporting Requirements
Sections
302 - 303
Presence of
Extremely
Hazardous
Substances
(40CFR
§355.30)
If a facility has one or more "extremely hazardous substances" present on site in
quantities greater than Threshold Planning Quantities (TPQs) established by EPA, it
must notify its State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) and Local Emergency
Planning Committee (LEPC) that it is subject to the emergency planning requirements
of these sections. A facility representative must be designated to participate in the local
emergency planning process. The facility also must provide any information deemed
necessary for development or implementation of a local emergency plan.
Section 304
Emergency
Notification
(40CFR
§355.40)
A facility must notify the LEPC and SERC immediately of the release of any "extremely
hazardous substance" (listed in 40 CFR Part 355, Appendices A and B) or any hazardous
substance under CERCLA (listed in 40 CFR 302.4), in amounts at or above the specified
Reportable Quantities that EPA establishes for each substance. The facility must follow
up this initial notification with a written statement providing details of the incident.
Section 311
Material
Safety Data
Sheet
(MSDS)
Reporting
(40 CFR
§370.21)
A facility must submit to the LEPC, SERC, and local fire department a list of Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), or copies of MSDSs, for any "hazardous chemicals" (as
defined under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard
Communication Standard) that are present on site in quantities greater than 10,000
pounds. A facility also must report any "extremely hazardous substances" (EHS) (as
defined under Section 302) that are present on site in quantities at or above the TPQ or
500 pounds, whichever is less. Submissions are required within 90 days of the date when
new chemicals are first present at or above specified thresholds or if new information on
previously reported chemicals becomes available. Some states have established lower
activity thresholds.
Section 312
Hazardous
Chemical
Inventory
(40 CFR
§370.25)
A facility must submit to the LEPC, SERC, and local fire department certain information
for any "hazardous chemical" or EHS reportable under Section 311. This information
is most commonly submitted on a Tier I or Tier n Form and includes a description of any
type of hazard the material may pose, the quantities stored, general storage locations,
and type of storage. The reports for each calendar year are due on or before March 1
of the following year. Most states require or request that facilities submit the more
detailed Tier n reporting form or a state-issued version of that form. In addition, some
states have established lower activity thresholds and require more detailed or additional
information.

Inventory
Reporting
(FormR)
(40CFR
§372)
A facility in certain SIC codes meeting threshold requirements is required to report
annually amounts of listed Section 313 toxic chemicals released or otherwise
managed to EPA and designated state agencies. Section 313 includes a list of over
650 chemicals and chemical categories. Release reporting information is submitted on
the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI) Reporting Form, Form R.
The Section 313 reporting requirements apply to owners or operators of facilities
which meet aJl of the following three criteria:
" Facility must be in SIC code 10 (except 1011, 1081, and 1094), or 12 (except
1241), or 20-39 (manufacturing facilities), or 4911 (limited to facilities that
combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating power for distribution
in commerce), 4931 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the
purpose of generating power for distribution in commerce) and 4939 (limited
to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating power
for distribution in commerce), or 4953 (limited to facilities regulated under
RCRA subtitle C), or 5169, or 5171, or 7389 (limited to facilities
primarily engaged in solvent recovery services on a contract or fee basis);
and,
» Facility must have 10 or more full-time employees (or the total hours worked
by all employees is greater than 20,000 hours), and
• Facility must manufacture (including importation), process, or otherwise use a
listed Section 313 chemical in excess of specific threshold quantities.
The threshold quantities for reporting under Section 313 are based on the amount of
the Section 313 chemical manufactured, processed, or otherwise used during the
calendar year. Specifically, the thresholds are1 greater than 25,000 pounds if
manufactured, or 25,000 pounds if processed, or 10,000 pounds if otherwise used.
EPCRA mandated that EPA establish and maintain a national TRI database to assist
in research and the development of regulations, guidelines, and standards related to
Section 313 chemicals and to make the TRI data available to the general public and
any interested parties. The TRI database is computer-accessible to anyone with a

SECTION 2
SECTION 313 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
WHO MUST REPORT?
A facility is subject to the provisions of the Section 313 reporting requirements if it meets all three
of the following criteria:
• The facility must be in SIC code 10 (except 1011,1081, and 1094), or 12 (except 1241),
or 20-39 (manufacturing facilities), or 4911 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or
oil for the purpose of generating power for distribution in commerce), 4931 (limited to
facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating power for distribution
in commerce) and 4939 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose
of generating power for distribution in commerce), or 4953 (limited to facilities
regulated under RCRA subtitle C), or 5169, or 5171, or 7389 (limited to facilities
primarily engaged in solvent recovery services on a contract or fee basis) hereafter
"covered SIC codes": and.
• Facility must have 10 or more full-time employees (or the total hours worked by all
employees is greater than 20,000 hours), and
• The facility manufactures (defined to include importation), or processes, or otherwise uses
any Section 313 chemical in quantities greater than the established threshold in the course
of a calendar year.
Instructions regarding how to determine the facility SIC code, employee threshold, or activity
follows; for additional detail please consult the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting
Form R and Instructions, a document published annually by EPA.
In addition, pursuant to Executive Order (EO) 12856 signed by the President on August 3, 1993,
Federal facilities are required to determine the applicability of the EPCRA Section 313 reporting
requirements regardless of the facility's SIC codes. Federal facilities that have 10 or more full
time employees or the equivalent and manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed Section 313
chemicals at or above established thresholds are subject to EPCRA Section 313 reporting.
Federal facilities were required to begin reporting no later than reporting year 1994; their first
Form R or Form A reports were due by July 1,1995.
The amount of the chemical released to the environment does not affect the need to report. Even
if there are no releases of a listed Section 313 chemical, a facility must report if it meets the
October 6,1997 (Version 1.0)

TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
requirements regarding SIC code, number of employees, and activity threshold. A threshold
determination must be made individually for each Section 313 :chemical.
Thresholds are based on operation year, this includes partial year reporting and reporting by a
facility that is going through closure. The facilities should consider the portion of the year for
\vhich they operated to determine the actual employee hours worked as well as threshold
determination and release reporting.
Reduced Reporting
On November 30,1994, EPA published a final rule (59 FR 61488) that provides an alternative
reporting option to qualifying facilities. Eligible facilities wishing to take advantage of this
alternative reporting option may report on a simplified two page form referred to as Form A and
do not have to use Form R. The rule entitled "TRI Alternate Threshold for Facilities with Low
Annual Reportable Amounts," provides facilities that otherwise meet EPCRA Section 313 activity
thresholds the option of reporting on Form A, provided that they do not exceed 500 pounds for
the total annual reportable amount (defined below) for that chemical, and that the amounts
manufactured, processed or otherwise used do not exceed 1 million pounds. As with determining
an activity threshold to determine if the chemical activity has been exceded, facilities must
evaluate each activity threshold separately, for example, a facility that manufactures 900,000
pounds per year of a Section 313 chemical and processes 150,000 pounds per year of a Section
313 chemical would still be eligible to use the Form A. :
For the purpose of reporting on Form A, the annual reportable amount is equal to the combined
total quantities released (including disposed) at the facility, treated at the facility (as represented
by amounts destroyed or converted by treatment processes), recycled at the facility, combusted
for the purpose of energy recovery at the facility, and amounts transferred from the facility to off-
site locations for the purpose of recycling, energy recovery, treatment, and/or disposal. These
quantities do not include amounts of the chemical accidentally'released. These volumes
correspond to the sum of amounts reported on Form R, as Part n column B of section 8, data
elements 8.1 (quantity released), 8.2 (quantity used for energy recovery on-site), 8.3 (quantity
used for energy recovery off-site), 8.4 (quantity recycled on-site), 8.5 (quantity recycled off-site),
8.6 (quantity treated on-site), and 8.7 (quantity treated off-site). See Section 4 of this document
for more guidance on completing Part n, Section 8 of Form R.
What is a facility?
Under EPCRA, a "facility" is defined as all buildings, equipment, structures, and other stationary
items which are located on a single site or contiguous or adjacent sites and which are owned or
October 6, 1997 (Version 1.0)

TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
operated by the same person (or by any person which controls, is controlled by, or under common
control with such person). An "establishment" is generally a single physical location, where
business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. A facility may
contain more than one establishment.
A single facility therefore can be a multi-establishment complex. Such a facility may submit
reports that cover all its establishments, or the individual establishments may report separately.
However, for the purposes of determining thresholds, all chemical activities for the entire facility
must be considered.
How to determine your SIC Code*
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 10 (except 1011,1081, and 1094), 12 (except
1241), 20-39 (manufacturing facilities), 4911,4931 and 4939 (limited to facilities that combust
coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating power for distribution in commerce), 4953 (limited
to facilities regulated under RCRA subtitle C), 5169, 5171, and 7389 (limited to facilities
primarily engaged in solvent recovery services on a contract or fee basis) are covered under
section 313 of EPCRA. The first two digits of a 4-digit SIC code define a major business sector,
while the last two digits denote a facility's specialty within the major sector. A facility should
determine its own SIC code(s), based on its activities on-site and the "Standard Industrial
Classification Manual 1987." In some cases, a state agency or other organization may have
assigned SIC codes on a different basis than the one used in the SIC Manual. For the purposes of
TRI reporting, state assigned codes should not be used if they differ from ones assigned using the
SIC Manual.
Your facility may include multiple establishments that have different SIC codes. In order to
determine which SIC code best represents the facility, the facility should calculate the value of the
products or services produced or provided at/by or shipped from each establishment within the
facility and then use the following rule to determine if your facility comes within the covered SIC
codes, and the SIC code criterion is met.
• If the total value of the products or services shipped, produced or provided at establishments
in "covered" SIC codes is greater than 50 percent of the value of the entire facility's products
and services, the entire facility comes within the covered SIC codes, and the SIC code
criterion is met.
Please note: The North American Industrial Classification System that appeared in the Federal Register on
April 9,1997 will replace the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC). Regulatory entities, including
EPA, will take steps to adopt the new classification system over the next few years. In the meantime, facilities should
consider their activities in relation to the 1987 SIC code system until further notification is made.
October 6,1997 (Version 1.0)

TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
• If any one establishment in the specified set of SIC codes produces, provides or ships products
or service whose value exceeds the value of products and services produced or shipped by all
other establishments within the facility, the facility comes within the covered SIC codes, and
the SIC code criterion is met.
The value of production or service attributable to a particular establishment may be isolated by
subtracting the product or service value obtained from other establishments within the same
facility from the total product or service value of the facility. This procedure eliminates the
potential for "double counting" production or service in situations where establishments are
engaged in sequential production activities at a single facility,
How to Determine Your Number of Employees
A "full time employee," for the purpose of Section 313 reporting, is defined as 2,000 work hours
per year. The number of full time employees is dependent only upon the total number of hours
worked by all employees during the calendar year for that facility and not the number of persons
working. To determine the number of full time employees working for your facility, add up the
hours worked by all employees during the calendar year including-contract employees and sales
and support staff, and divide the total by 2,000 hours. In other words, if the total number of
hours worked by all employees is 20,000 hours or more, your facility meets the ten employee
threshold.
Facilities may have contract workers present at times to conduct maintenance and service
operations, including equipment, motor vehicle, and building maintenance, construction, and
operating processes and waste management activities (e.g., remediation). The hours of all these
contract workers count toward the employee threshold for reporting under Section 313. In
addition, the hours worked by professionals (e.g., those on salary, that do not clock in or out) also
count towards the facilitiy's employee threshold. Employees that perform activities which
routinely occur off-site such as truck drivers, but who are based at the facility are also counted
towards the employee threshold. Routine activities performed at the facility by outside personnel
such as contract drivers that are not based at the facility are not counted towards the employee
threshold.
CHEMICAL ACTIVITY THRESHOLDS
!
Section 313 requires a facility that meets the SIC code and employee criteria to submit Form R
reports for any listed Section 313 chemical or chemical category that it manufactures in annual
quantities greater than 25,000 pounds, processes in annual quantities greater than 25,000 pounds,
or otherwise uses in annual quantities greater than 10,000 pounds (40 CFR §372.3). These
thresholds (manufacture, process, or otherwise use) will be referenced throughout this document
October fi, 1997 (Version 1.0)

TSD FACILITIES
as "activity thresholds." Chemicals must be evaluated in association with one or more of these
three categories when determining whether an activity threshold has been exceeded. These
categories are:
• Manufacture - "Manufacture" means to produce, prepare, compound, or import a listed
Section 313 chemical. Import is defined as causing the Section 313 chemical to be imported
into the customs territory of the United States. If you order a listed Section 313 chemical (or
a mixture containing the chemical) from a foreign supplier, then you have imported the
chemical when that shipment arrives at your facility directly from a source outside of the
United States. By ordering the chemical, you have "caused it to be imported," even though
you may have used an import brokerage firm as an agent to obtain the Section 313 chemical.
If the importation was directed by the parent company, then the facility receiving the chemical
is not considered to have imported the chemical.
The term manufacture also includes coincidental production of a listed chemical (e.g., as a
byproduct or impurity) as a result of the manufacture, processing, otherwise use, or waste
management of other chemical substances. The fact that the coincidental manufacturing of
these byproducts is not the primary purpose of the facility is irrelevant. Listed EPCRA
Section 313 chemicals coincidentally manufactured by a facility must be factored into
threshold determinations and release calculations.
• Manufactured Activities and Definitions
• Produced or imported for on-site use/processing
A chemical that is produced or imported and then further processed or
otherwise used at the same facility.
• Produced or imported for sale/distribution
A chemical that is produced or imported specifically for sale or
distribution outside the facility.
• Produced as a by-product
A chemical that is produced coincidentally during the production,
processing, otherwise use, or disposal of another chemical substance or

chemical substance or mixture. Section 313 chemicals produced and
released as a result of waste treatment for disposal are also considered
byproducts.

not separated and remains primarily in the mixture or product with that
other chemical.
Process - "Process" means the preparation of a listed Section 313 chemical, after its
manufacture, for distribution in commerce. Processing is usually the intentional incorporation
of a Section 313 chemical into a product. Processing includes preparation of the Section 313
chemical in the same physical state or chemical form as that received by your facility, or
preparation that produces a change in physical state or chemical form. The term also applies
to the processing of a mixture or other trade name product that contains a listed Section 313
chemical as one component. Processing activities include iuse of Section 313 chemicals as
reactants, in formulations, and as article components, and repackaging. Processing may also
include the recycling of a Section 313 chemical for distribution in commerce. For example, if
a facility receives a waste containing a Section 313 chemical from off-site, stabilizes, and
repackages the waste in one calendar year and then distributes the repackaged waste into
commerce in the following year. The facility would count the amount of the Section 313
chemical stabilized as being processed in the year it was treated.
Relabeling or redistributing of the Section 313 chemical where no repackaging of the Section
313 chemical occurs does not constitute processing of the Section 313 chemical.
Processed Activities and Definitions
i
• As a reactant
A natural or synthetic chemical used in chemical reactions for the
manufacture of another chemical substance or product. This includes,
but is not limited to, feedstocks, raw materials, intermediates, and
initiators.
• As a formulation component
A chemical added to a product (or product mixture) prior to further
distribution of the product that acts as a performance enhancer during
use of the product. Examples of Section 313 chemicals used in this
capacity include, but are not limited to, additives,! dyes, reaction
diluents, initiators, solvents, inhibitors, emulsifiers, surfactants,
lubricants, flame retardants, and Theological modifiers.
• As an article component ;
A chemical that becomes an integral component of an article distributed
for industrial, trade, or consumer use.

Processing or preparation of a Section 313 chemical (or product
mixture) for distribution in commerce in a different form, state, or
quantity. This includes, but is not limited to, the transfer of material
from a bulk container, such as a tank truck, to smaller containers such
as cans or bottles.
Otherwise use - Any use involving a listed Section 313 chemical at a facility that does not fall
under the definitions of 'manufacture" or "process" is an otherwise use of that chemical. A
chemical that is otherwise used by a facility is not incorporated into a product distributed in
commerce and includes use of the Section 313 chemical as a chemical processing aid or as a
manufacturing aid or for ancillary uses such as treating wastes. Otherwise use of a Section
313 chemical does not include disposal, stabilization (without subsequent distribution in
commerce), or treatment for destruction unless:
(1) The Section 313 chemical that was disposed, stabilized, or treated for destruction
was received from off-site for the purposes of further waste management, or
(2) The Section 313 chemical that was disposed, stabilized, or treated for destruction
was manufactured as a result of waste management activities on materials received
from off-site for the purpose of further waste management.
Relabeling or redistributing of the Section 313 chemical where no repackaging of the Section
313 chemical occurs does not constitute the otherwise use of the Section 313 chemical.
Otherwise Used Activities and Definitions
• As a chemical processing aid
A chemical that is added to a reaction mixture to aid in the manufacture
or synthesis of another chemical substance but is not intended to remain
in or become part of the product or product mixture. Examples of such
Section 313 chemicals include, but are not limited to, process solvents,
catalysts, inhibitors, initiators, reaction terminators, and solution
buffers.
• As a manufacturing aid
A chemical that aids the manufacturing process that does not become
part of the resulting product and is not added to the reaction mixture
during the manufacture or synthesis of another chemical substance.

Examples include, but are not limited to, process lubricants,
metalworking fluids, coolants, refrigerants, and hydraulic fluids.
• Ancillary or other use
A chemical that is used at a facility for purposes other than aiding
chemical processing or manufacturing as described above. Examples of
such Section 313 chemicals include, but are not limited to, cleaners,
degreasers, lubricants, fuels, and chemicals used for treating wastes.
For purposes of the otherwise use definition, EPA interprets ivaste management activities to
include recycling, combustion for energy recovery, treatment for destruction, waste stabilization,
and release, including disposal. Waste management does not include the storage, container
transfer, or tank transfer of a Section 313 chemical if no recycling, combustion for energy,
treatment for destruction, waste stabilization, or release of the chemical occurs at the facility.
(See 62 FR 23850)
Recycling for the purposes of EPCRA Section 313 means the following: (1) the recovery for
reuse of a Section 313 chemical from a gaseous, aerosol, aqueous, liquid, or solid stream; or (2)
the reuse or the recovery for use of a Section 313 chemical that is a RCRA hazardous waste as
defined in 40 CFR Part 261. Recovery is the act of extracting or removing the Section 313
chemical from a waste stream and includes: (1) the reclamation of the Section 313 chemical from
a stream that entered a waste treatment or pollution control device or process where destruction
of the stream or destruction or removal of certain constituents of the stream occurs (including air
pollution control devices or processes, wastewater treatment or control devices or processes,
Federal or state permitted treatment or control devices or processes, and other types of treatment
or control devices or processes); and (2) the reclamation for reuse of an "otherwise used" Section
313 chemical that is spent or contaminated and that must be recovered for further use in either the
original or any other operations. (See EPA document, Interpretations of Waste Management
Activities: Recycling, Combustion for Energy Recovery, Waste Stabilization and Release.)
i
Combustion for energy recovery is interpreted by EPA to include the combustion of a Section
313 chemical that is (1) (a) a RCRA hazardous waste or waste fuel, (b) a constituent of a RCRA
hazardous waste or waste fuel, or (c) a spent or contaminated "otherwise used" material; and that
(2) has a heating value greater than or equal to 5,000 British thermal units (BTU) per pound in an
energy or materials recovery device. Energy or materials recovery devices are boilers and
industrial furnaces as defined in 40 CFR §372.3 (See 62 FR 23891). In determining whether an
EPCRA Section 313 listed chemical is combusted for energy recovery, the facility should consider
the BTU value of the Section 313 chemical and not of the chemical stream. If the heating value
of the Section 313 chemical is below 5,000 BTU, the chemical is being treated for destruction. A
facility that blends and subsequently distributes in commerce a waste-derived fuel "processes"

TSD FACILITIES
EPCRA Section 313 listed toxic chemicals that are constituents of that waste-derived fuel. In
contrast, if subsequent to blending the waste-derived fuel, that same facility combusts on-site the
waste-derived fuel in an energy recovery unit, the facility "otherwise uses" EPCRA Section 313
listed toxic chemicals that are constituents of that waste-derived fuel. An EPCRA Section 313
listed toxic chemical that has a heat value of less than 5,000 BTUs and that is a constituent of a
waste-derived fuel is "otherwise used" if that fuel is combusted in an on-site energy recovery unit
(62 FR 23851).
EPA defines Treatment for destruction to mean the destruction of a Section 313 chemical in
waste such that the substance is no longer the Section 313 chemical subject to reporting under
EPCRA Section 313. Treatment for destruction does not include the destruction of a Section 313
chemical in waste where the Section 313 chemical has a heat value greater than 5,000 British
Thermal Units (BTU) and is combusted in any device that is an industrial boiler or furnace. (See
40 CFR §372.3.) "Treatment for destruction" includes acid or alkaline neutralization if the
Section 313 chemical is the entity that reacts with the acid or base. "Treatment for destruction"
does not include: (1) neutralization of a waste stream containing Section 313 chemicals if the
Section 313 chemicals themselves do not react with the acid or base (See 40 CFR §372.3), (2)
preparation of a Section 313 chemical for disposal, (3) removal of Section 313 chemicals from
waste streams, and (4) activities intended to render a waste stream more suitable for further use
or processing, such as distillation or sedimentation. For example, neutralization of pure nitric acid
is considered treatment for destruction. In contrast, neutralization of nitric acid containing three
percent lead is not considered treatment for destruction of the lead component, because the lead
has not reacted with the neutralizing agent (See 62 FR 23852).
EPA defines Waste stabilization to mean any physical or chemical process used to either reduce
the mobility of hazardous constituents in a hazardous waste or eliminate free liquid as determined
by a RCRA approved test method (e.g., Test Method 9095). A waste stabilization process
includes mixing the hazardous waste with binders or other materials and curing the resulting
hazardous waste and binder mixture. Other synonymous terms used to refer to this process are
"stabilization," "waste fixation," or "waste solidification." (See 40 CFR §372.3.)
Release is defined by EPCRA Section 329(8) to mean any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring,
emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the
environment (including the abandonment or discarding of barrels, containers, and other closed
receptacles) of any Section 313 chemical. (See 40 CFR §372.3.)
Disposal is defined by EPCRA to mean any underground injection, placement in landfills/surface
impoundments, land treatment, or other intentional land disposal. (See 40 CFR §372.3.)

Based on EPA's evaluation of the RCRA Subtitle C TSD and solvent recovery industries, the
Agency believes that RCRA Subtitle C TSD and solvent recovery activities routinely involve or
result in the manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use of EPCRA Section 313 chemicals (62
FR 23834, May 1,1997). The term manufacture includes the coincidental manufacture of a
chemical, such as a byproduct or impurity, from the manufacturing, processing, otherwise use or
waste management of another chemical substance or mixture. Thresholds must be calculated
separately for manufacture, process, or otherwise use of the same chemical. If any single
threshold is exceeded for a listed Section 313 chemical, the facility must submit a Form R
covering all nonexempt activities. RCRA Subtitle C TSD and solvent recovery facilities will be
required to factor into their threshold determinations and reporting calculations the quantities of
EPCRA Section 313 chemicals used in support activities such|as froth flotation, non-motor
vehicle equipment maintenance, and dewatering. Chemicals involved in these support activities
are classified under the otherwise use category.
EXEMPTIONS
Section 313 provides for exemptions fromreporting for specific "processing" or "otherwise use"
activities. The instructions provided in Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Form R and
Instructions should be reviewed carefully before proceeding. The following discussion
summarizes the exemption instructions. A facility does not have to consider amounts of listed
Section 313 chemicals involved in any of these processing or otherwise use activities when
determining if activity thresholds have been exceeded or when estimating environmental releases.
Limited exemptions apply to manufacturing activities. For example, manufacturing a Section 313
chemical for research and development purposes and manufacturing as an impurity below a
specified level in a product distributed beyond the facility both can be exempt. The EPA's Toxic
Chemical Release Inventory Questions and Answers, Revised 1990 Version [EPA 560/4/91-003
(will be revised in near future)] and the Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and
Instructions also contain information about these exemptions. (See Appendix B for ordering
information.)
• The de minimis exemption allows facilities to disregard certain minimal concentrations of
chemicals in mixtures or trade name products they "process" or "otherwise use" in making
threshold determinations and release and other waste management determinations. The de
minimis exemption does not apply to the "manufacture" of a Section 313 chemical except if
that Section 313 chemical is "manufactured" as an impurity and remains in the product
distributed in commerce below the appropriate de minimis level. The de minimis exemption
does not apply to a byproduct "manufactured" coincidentally as a result of "manufacturing,"
"processing," "otherwise use," or any waste management activities.
October 6, 1997 (Version 1.0)

-------
TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
This de minimis exemption applies solely to "mixtures" and trade name products. EPA's
long-standing interpretation has been that "mixture" does not include waste. Therefore, the
de minimis exemption cannot be applied to Section 313 chemicals in a waste even if the waste
is being "processed" or "otherwise used."
When determining whether the de minimis exemption applies to a listed Section 313 chemical,
the owner or operator should only consider the concentration of the Section 313 chemical in
mixtures and trade name products in process streams in which the Section 313 chemical is
undergoing a reportable activity. If the Section 313 chemical in a process stream is
"manufactured" as an impurity, "processed," or "otherwise used" and is below the appropriate
de minimis concentration level, then the quantity of the Section 313 chemical in that process
stream does not have to be applied to threshold determinations nor included in release or
other waste management determinations. If a Section 313 chemical in a process stream meets
the de minimis exemption, all releases and other waste management activities associated with
the Section 313 chemical in that stream are exempt from EPCRA section 313 reporting. It is
possible to meet an activity (e.g., processing) threshold for a Section 313 chemical on a
facility-wide basis, but not be required to calculate releases or other waste management
quantities associated with a particular process because that process involves only mixtures or
trade name products containing the Section 313 chemical below the de minimis level.
Once a Section 313 chemical concentration is above the appropriate de minimis
concentration, threshold determinations and release and other waste management
determinations must be made, even if the chemical later falls below de minimis level in the
same process stream. Thus, all releases and other quantities managed as waste which occur
after the de minimis level has been exceeded are then subject to reporting. If a Section 313
chemical in a mixture or trade name product above de minimis is brought on-site, the de
minimis exemption never applies.
The de minimis concentration level is consistent with the OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard requirements for development of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs). The de
minimis level is 1.0 percent except if the Section 313 chemical is an OSHA-defined
carcinogen. The de minimis level for OSHA-defined carcinogens is 0.1 percent. For mixtures
or other trade name products that contain one or more members of a listed Section 313 toxic
chemical category, the de minimis level applies to the aggregate concentration of all such
members and not to each individually. The list of toxic chemicals in the publication Toxic
Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions for the current reporting year
contains the de minimis values for each of the Section 313 chemicals and chemical categories.

Materials that are processed or used as articles - Quantities of a listed Section 313
chemical contained in an article do not have to be factored into threshold or release
determinations when that article is processed or otherwise used at your facility. An article is
defined as a manufactured item that is formed to a specific shape or design during
manufacture, that has end-use functions dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or
design during end-use, and that does not release a Section! 313 chemical under the normal
conditions of the processing or use of that item at the facility.
If the processing or otherwise use of like articles results in a total release of less than 0.5
pounds of a Section 313 chemical in a calendar year to all.environmental media, EPA will
allow this release quantity to be rounded to zero, and the manufactured items remain exempt
as articles. EPA requires facilities to round off and report all estimates to the nearest whole
number. The 0.5-pound limit does not apply to each individual article, but applies to the sum
of all releases from processing or otherwise use of like articles.
The article exemption applies to the normal processing or otherwise use of an article. It does
not apply to the manufacture of an article. Thus, Section 313 chemicals processed into
articles manufactured at a facility must be factored into threshold and release determinations.
A closed item containing Section 313 chemicals (e.g., a transformer containing PCBs) that
does not release the Section 313 chemicals during normal hse is considered an article if a
facility uses the item as intended and the Section 313 chemicals are not released. If a facility
services the closed item (e.g., a transformer) by replacing the Section 313 chemicals, the
Section 313 chemicals added during the reporting year must counted in threshold
determinations.
Materials that are structural components of the facility - Chemicals present in materials
used to construct, repair., or maintain a plant building are exempt from the activity thresholds.
For example, solvents and pigments present in paint used to coat the structural components of
a building would be exempt from threshold determination and release reporting.
Materials used for janitorial or facility grounds maintenance - Chemicals present in
materials used for routine or facility grounds maintenance 'are exempt from the activity
thresholds. Examples include bathroom cleaners, fertilizers, and garden pesticides in the same
form and concentration commonly distributed to consumers. Chemicals used for equipment
maintenance, such as the use of oil or cleaning solvents, are not exempt.

• Materials used with facility motor vehicles - Chemicals present in materials used for
operating and maintaining motor vehicles operated by the facility are exempt from the activity
thresholds. Examples include gasoline, radiator coolant, and windshield wiper fluid used in
equipment such as cars, trucks, forklifts, and tow motors.
• Personal items - Chemicals present in materials such as foods, drugs, cosmetics, or other
personal items are exempt from the activity thresholds. Examples include materials used in the
facility cafeteria and infirmary. Chemicals used for heating and air conditioning solely to
provide comfort to personnel are also exempt from reporting. If a building's temperature is
regulated to facilitate a process or treatment operation, the Section 313 chemicals used to heat
or cool the building are not exempt. Units that supply both personal comfort and operational
needs may be apportioned, if it is possible to separate them.
• Laboratory materials - Chemicals used in certain laboratory activities that are conducted
under the supervision of a technically qualified individual (as defined under 40 CFR
§720.3 (ee)) are exempt from the activity thresholds. The laboratory activities exemption
applies only to sampling and analysis, research and development, and quality assurance and
quality control activities. The exemption does not apply to the use or production of listed
Section 313 chemicals in pilot-plant operations and laboratories for distribution in commerce
(e.g., specialty chemicals) and laboratory support services.
• Materials as they are drawn from the environment or municipal sources - Chemicals
contained in intake water (used for processing or non-contact cooling) or in intake air (used
either as compressed air or for combustion) are exempt from the activity thresholds.
• Property owners - Property owners that merely own real estate on which a facility covered
by Section 313 is located and have no business interest in the operation of that facility (e.g., a
company owns an industrial park) are exempt for Section 313 reporting. The operator of that
facility, however, is subject to reporting requirements.
SUPPLIER NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Because manufacturers reporting under Section 313 must know the Section 313 chemical
composition of the products they use to be able to accurately calculate releases, EPA requires
some suppliers of mixtures or trade name products containing one or more of the listed Section
313 chemicals to notify their customers of the identity of the chemical in the mixture or the trade
name product. This requirement has been in effect since January 1,1989.

95-008) and Consolidated List of Chemicals Subject to Reporting Under the Act (Title III List of
Lists) (EPA-550-B-96-015) may also be useful references when reviewing the chemicals at your
facility for Section 313 coverage. ;
i
The list of Section 313 chemicals is amended frequently. Users of this guidance document or
other documents listing Section 313 chemicals are cautioned that changes may have occurred to
the list of Section 313 chemicals since publication of the original list or addition of the chemical
through administrative action. The list of Section 313 chemicals presented in the Toxic Chemical
Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions for the current reporting year should
always be consulted as the most up-to-date source of currently listed Section 313 chemicals. For
the latest information on Section 313 chemical listings, contact the EPCRA Hotline at 1-800-535-
0202.
Some of the Section 313 chemicals have qualifiers included with their names. Reporting on these
chemicals are determined by the conditions specified in the qualifiers. Chemicals that are listed
October 6, 1997 (Version 1.0)
2-14
-------
TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT TSD FACILITIES
without parenthetic qualifiers are subject to reporting in all forms in which they are manufactured,
processed, or otherwise used. Descriptions of the qualifiers are as follows:
• Fume or dust - Three of the metals on the list of Section 313 chemicals (aluminum,
vanadium, and zinc) contain the qualifier "fume or dust." Fume or dust refers to dry forms of
these metals, not to "wet" forms such as solutions or slurries. Thus, a facility should
determine if, for example, it generated more than 25,000 pounds of "aluminum (fume or
dust)." Similarly, there may be certain technologies in which one of these metals is processed
in the form of a fume or dust to make other Section 313 chemicals or other products for
distribution in commerce. In reporting releases, the facility would report only releases of the
fume or dusts.
EPA considers dusts to consist of solid particles generated by any mechanical processing of
materials including crushing, grinding, rapid impact, handling, detonation, and decrepitation of
organic and inorganic materials such as rock, ore, and metal. Dusts do not tend to flocculate,
except under electrostatic forces. A fume is an airborne dispersion consisting of small solid
particles created by condensation from a gaseous state, in distinction to a gas or vapor.
Fumes arise from the heating of solids such as aluminum. The condensation is often
accompanied by a chemical reaction such as oxidation. Fumes flocculate and sometimes
coalesce. Other metals, (e.g., such as lead or copper) are not limited by this qualifier and are
subject to reporting in all forms (fume, dust, and wet).
• Manufacturing qualifiers -Two of the entries in the Section 313 chemical list contain a
qualifier relating to manufacture. For isopropyl alcohol, the qualifier is "manufacturing -
strong acid process". For saccharin the qualifier simply is "manufacturing." For isopropyl
alcohol, the qualifier means that only facilities manufacturing isopropyl alcohol by the strong
acid process are required to report. In the case of saccharin, only manufacturers of the
Section 313 chemical are subject to the reporting requirements. A facility that processes or
otherwise uses either Section 313 chemical would not be required to report for those
chemicals. In both cases, the facility is not required to provide supplier notification because
only the manufacturer, not the user, of the Section 313 chemical must report.
• Ammonia (includes anhydrous ammonia and aqueous ammonia from water dissociable
ammonium salts and other sources; 10 percent of total aqueous ammonia is reportable
under this listing) - The qualifier for ammonia means that anhydrous forms of ammonia are
100 percent reportable and aqueous forms are limited to 10 percent of total aqueous
ammonia. Therefore, when determining thresholds, releases, and other waste management
quantities all anhydrous ammonia is included but only 10 percent of total aqueous ammonia is
included. Any evaporation of ammonia from aqueous ammonia solutions is considered
October 6,1997 (Version 1.0) £l5
-------
TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
anhydrous ammonia and should be included in the appropriate threshold and release
determinations.
• Phosphorus (yellow or white) - The listing for phosphorus is qualified by the term "yellow
or white" This means that only manufacturing, processing; or otherwise use of phosphorus in
the yellow or white chemical forms require reporting. Conversely, manufacturing, processing,
or otherwise use of "black" or "red" phosphorus does not; trigger reporting.
• Asbestos (friable) - The listing for asbestos is qualified by the term "friable," referring to the
physical characteristic of being able to be crumbled, pulverized, or reducible to a powder with
hand pressure. Only manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use of asbestos in the friable
form triggers reporting.
• Aluminum oxide (fibrous forms) - The listing for aluminum oxide is qualified by the term
"fibrous forms." Fibrous refers to a man-made form of aluminum oxide that is processed to
produce strands or filaments which can be cut to various lengths depending on the application.
Only manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use of aluminum oxide in the fibrous form
triggers reporting.
• Hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid (acid aerosols including mists, vapors, gas, fog, and
other airborne forms of any particle size) - The qualifier for hydrochloric acid and sulfuric
acid means that only aerosol forms of this chemical are reportable. Aqueous solutions are not
covered by this listing, but airborne forms generated from aqueous solutions are covered.
• Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in an aqueous solution) -
The qualifier for the nitrate compounds category limits the' reporting to nitrate compounds
that dissociate in water, and thereby generate nitrate ions. For the purposes of threshold
determinations, the entire weight of the nitrate compound must be included in all calculations.
For the purposes of reporting releases and other waste management quantities, only the
weight of the nitrate ion should be included in the calculations of these quantities.
WHAT MUST BE REPORTED?
If your facility is included in the specified set of SIC codes, has ten or more full-time employees or
the equivalent, and manufactures, processes, or otherwise uses one of the listed Section 313
chemicals in amounts greater than the appropriate thresholds, you must report the following
information on Form R:

• Maximum quantity of the chemical on-site at any time during the year;
• Quantities of the chemical released during the year to environmental media, including both
accidental spills and routine emissions;
• Quantities of the chemical subject to on site waste management actions, including recycling,

• Off-site locations to which you shipped wastes containing the chemical and the quantities of
the chemical sent to those locations;
• Information on source reduction activities; and
• Treatment methods used for wastes containing the chemical and estimates of their efficiency
for the reportable Section 313 chemical.
A release is defined under EPCRA Section 329(8) as any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring,
emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the
environment of any listed Section 313 chemical The definition of release includes the
abandonment or discarding of barrels, containers, and other closed receptacles. Separate release
estimates must be provided for releases to air, water, and land (e.g., deep well injection, surface
impoundment, permitted landfill).
DOCUMENTING REPORTING EFFORTS
Sound recordkeeping practices are essential for accurate and efficient TRI reporting. EPA
requires that facilities keep a copy of each Form R or Form A report filed for at least three years
from the date of submission (40 CFR §372.10). These reports will also be of use to facilities in
subsequent years when completing future Form R or Form A reports. EPA also requires that
facilities maintain those documents, calculations, worksheets, and other forms upon which they

CONDUCTING THE THRESHOLD DETERMINATION
An activity threshold determination must

chemical is manufactured, processed, or Identify Section 313 chemicals that are
otherwise used at your facility. The I manufactured, processed or otherwise used.
threshold determination is one criterion '
used to ascertain whether a Form R or
Form A is required to be submitted.
The primary function of most TSDs is the treatment and disposal of RCRA- or state-regulated
hazardous wastes. Most activities performed will involve "otherwise use" of TRI chemicals.
Because the primary function of most solvent recovery facilities is the recovery of a solvent from
a waste, most activities performed will involve "processing" and "otherwise use" of TRI
chemicals. You should determine (1) what Section 313 chemicals are managed during the year,
(2) the amount of each of those chemicals that are treated or disposed during the year, and (3) the
amount of virgin Section 313 chemicals (e.g.,
to treat waste) used in the treatment processes
to determine if the 10,000 pound threshold for
"otherwise use" activities is met.
Chloroform: Identifying Activities
Chloroform received from off-site locations
is treated for destruction in a halogen acid
furnace and results in the manufacture of
hydrogen chloride gas, which is then sent to
a scrubber unit, where it is adsorbed into the
liquid and neutralized. The chloroform
received from off-site locations is treated for
destruction; therefore, it is counted toward
the threshold for "otherwise use." The
hydrogen chloride gas is counted toward the
threshold for "manufacture" because
hydrogen chloride in the aerosol form was
produced. In addition, because the aerosol
hydrogen chloride was manufactured from
the chloroform received from off-site
locations for waste management, and was
then treated for destruction, the facility must
count the hydrogen chloride towards the
"otherwise use" threshold.
Solvent recovery facilities perform recovery
operations. TSDs may also perform recovery
operations', such as metals recovery. In such
cases, you should determine which Section
313 chemicals are recovered during the year,
the amount of each of those chemicals that are
recovered during the year and whether the
recovered Section 313 chemicals are used on
site or further distributed in commerce. If any
of the recovered Section 313 chemicals are
used on site, determine if the 10,000 pound
threshold for "otherwise use" is met. If
distributed in commerce, determine if the
25,000 pound threshold for "processing"
activities is met. If the recovered Section 313
chemicals are disposed that quantity would
also be applied to the "otherwise use"
threshold.

TSD FACILITIES
Some waste treatment activities will involve the conversion or reaction of chemicals to produce a
new Section 313 chemical, such as occurs with chemical oxidation or chemical precipitation.
When the new Section 313 chemical is produced, it is considered "manufactured" under EPCRA
Section 313, and is subject to the 25,000 pound threshold. However, if that manufactured
Section 313 chemical is subsequently disposed, for example, the disposal is an "otherwise use"
activity, and is subject to the 10,000 pound threshold. TSDs and solvent recovery facilities should
closely examine treatment processes to determine whether Section 313 chemicals are
manufactured.
Any Section 313 chemicals purchased by faculties for use as processing or manufacturing aids or
for treating waste are considered "otherwise used". In addition, EPCRA Section 313 chemicals in
materials purchased to be used as fuel or for maintaining equipment operations, other than for
maintaining motor vehicles, should be included in the threshold determination for "otherwise use"
activities. Any EPCRA Section 313 chemicals in materials purchased to be used in the waste
management processes should also be included in the threshold determination for "otherwise use"
activities.
For example, any purchased material that is used as feedstock in a recovery process, as auxiliary
fuel in incineration, as a chemical in the treatment process (i.e., flocculation agents, caustics,
acids, etc.), or as an additive to reclaimed materials prior to customer delivery should be included
in the threshold determination as these activities are reportable.
Some TSDs and solvent recovery facilities may engage in fuel-blending activities. These waste-
derived fuels are often burned as an alternative fuel, reducing a facility's dependence on coal or
other fossil fuels. The act of fuel blending is not in itself considered "otherwise use." If a facility
blends and subsequently distributes in commerce a waste-derived fuel, the facility is "processing"
the EPCRA Section 313 toxic chemicals that are constituents of that waste-derived fuel.
However if that same facility combusted on-site the waste-derived fuel in an energy recovery unit,
the combustion would constitute "otherwise use" of the EPCRA Section 313 constituents in the
waste-derived fuel. The facility is "otherwise using" the EPCRA Section 313 constituents of the
waste-derived fuel regardless of whether the facility generated the waste-derived fuel or received
it from another facility for purposes of waste management.
When performing your threshold
determinations, it is important to
remember that exemptions apply to
certain facility-related activities. These
exemptions were discussed in Section 2 of
this guidance document and may apply

"processing," or "otherwise use" activities. For the purposes of an activity threshold analysis, the
following areas should be examined closely to determine whether the TRI chemicals subject to
certain activities should be included in the activity threshold and reporting calculations:
• Laboratories: Sampling and analysis, research and development (R&D), and QA/QC
activities undertaken in laboratories are exempt if conducted under the supervision of a
technically qualified individual. Pilot plants and support services, such as photo processing,
waste water treatment, and instrument sterilization are not exempt. Wastes generated during
sampling and analysis, R&D, and QA/QC activities in an bn-site laboratory are exempt.
• Motor vehicles: Use of products containing Section 313 chemicals for the purpose of most
motor vehicle maintenance activities are exempt, as well as fuel used in those vehicles.
• Routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance: The routine maintenance exemption is
intended to cover janitorial or other custodial or plant grounds maintenance activities using
such substances as bathroom cleaners, or fertilizers and pesticides used to maintain lawns, in
the same form and concentration commonly distributed to consumers. Equipment
maintenance such as the use of oil or grease is not exempt.
• Facility Debris: Hazardous waste debris received from off-site locations for treatment is not
included within the scope of the exemption for materials that are part of the facility (e.g., the
structural component exemption). Hazardous debris, while decontaminated, may require
treatment prior to disposal. Other non-wood debris, primarily copper or other metals, may
also contain Section 313 chemicals.
In making threshold determinations, it is important that you keep in mind that a de minimis
exemption applies only to Section 313 chemicals in mixtures or trade name products
manufactured as impurities or processed or otherwise use in mixtures or trade name products.
This exemption does not apply to chemicals that are manufactured as byproducts nor does it apply
to chemicals in wastes that are processed or otherwise used. ;
Section 313 Chemicals Not Regulated by RCRA
As discussed earlier, the list of Section 313 chemicals in Appendix A presents information on the
regulatory status of each chemical under certain sections of RCRA Subtitle C, including whether
the chemical appears on the list of hazardous constituents at 40 CFR Part 261 Appendix VIII, the
Land Disposal Restrictions Universal Treatment Standards Table at 40 CFR §268.48, or the toxic
and acutely hazardous constituents at 40 CFR §261.33. Appendix A includes not only those
chemicals specified under 40 CFR Part 372 as the EPCRA section 313 list of regulated Section
October 6, 1997 (Version 1.0) 3^6 : ~

TSD FACILITIES
313 chemicals, but also includes chemicals that are captured as part of a class of chemical
compounds. There is not a direct correlation between the TRI list of reportable chemicals and the
chemicals regulated under the RCRA sections mentioned above.
EPA believes that TSDs and solvent recovery facilities, in some cases, will have information on
non-RCRA TRI chemicals at elevated concentrations since they may present treatability problems
or management hazards and, therefore, the facility may have adequate information to report on
such chemicals.
Non-Hazardous Wastes
Generators of hazardous waste sometimes choose, preemptively, to manage non-hazardous
wastes as part of their hazardous waste stream. For example, a generator may include broken
pipettes and used personal protective devices (PPDs) in a lab pack containing hazardous wastes,
or a manufacturer may send non-listed, non-characteristic spent solvents for management with
their listed hazardous waste spent solvents. In such instances, you must rely on the best available
source of information, which may include waste profiles initially prepared by the generator, to
determine the presence of TRI chemicals in the hazardous waste. As part of the waste analysis
plan, TSDs receiving wastes generated off-site are required to comply with RCRA regulations at
40 CFR §264.13(c) or §265.13(c). These regulations establish requirements for screening and
analysis procedures that help minimize acceptance of non-permitted and incorrectly identified
wastes. Generators of hazardous waste shipped off-site for treatment should already be providing
the TSD with information on the process that generated the waste, the physical/chemical
characterization of the waste, analytical procedures used to characterize the waste and the results
or the basis for use of generator's knowledge as the basis for waste characterization.
A typical waste profile will contain information on the waste stream composition, including
RCRA regulated chemicals requiring treatment. Waste Analysis at Facilities That Generate,
Treat, Store, and Dispose of Hazardous Wastes; A Guidance Manual (EPA 530-R-94-024;
04/15/94) suggests that facilities collect the following information:
• Physical/Chemical Description of the waste
• Analytical procedures and results or the process knowledge used to characterize the
waste
• Hazardous Waste Codes
October 6,1997 (Version 1.0)

TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT

• Waste Profile Data, including:
40 CFR/ Part 261, Appendk VH and VHI constituents
Metals (Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Beryllium, Cadmium,
Chromium, '•
Lead, Mercury, Nickel, Selenium, Silver, Thallium)
Other chemicals (e.g., chlorine) ;
Physical Parameters (BTU, total halogens)
Additional information as needed by the facility
In addition to waste profiles, TSDs and solvent recovery facilities often conduct waste analysis
themselves. This may occur prior to acceptance of the first shipment of waste and may be used to
prepare the waste profile. Additional waste analysis may occur at any time when waste is
received to ensure that the waste continues to meet the profile parameters. TSDs and solvent
recovery facilities may choose to rely on actual waste analysis data, however, fingerprint analysis
typically will not be sufficient to allow the facility to make a threshold determination. In such
cases, the facility should use the best available information.
As opposed to RCRA, EPCRA Section 313 requires that threshold determinations be performed
for specific listed chemicals and chemical categories. TSDs and solvent recovery facilities that
determine only the percent metal in a waste may need to report on a metal compound rather than
a pure metal. To the extent possible, TSDs and solvent recovery facilities should use available
information to determine the form of the metal in the waste. Initial waste profile information or
initial waste testing data can be useful in this determination. !
Under the Hazard Communication Standard, an MSDS should be supplied with the first shipment
of auxiliary fuels. This information can be used in your threshold determination. Also, manifests
are sent with each shipment of waste and contain information on the wastes, waste codes subject
to treatment, and volume. Data on the quantity of waste managed can be obtained from this
source. In addition, inventory data and consumption information can be used in determining the
amount of these chemicals used for the purpose of making a threshold determination.

Threshold determinations are made based on the best available information in your possession.
However, if a facility is aware that a chemical is probably present, but has no information on its
concentration in, then they are not required to consider that chemical in its threshed
determinations. Though, in general, the following methods should be employed to determine the
appropriate concentrations to use in threshold determinations:
• If the extract concentration is known
(e.g., 33.0% toluene), use it.
• If only the upper bound is known
(e.g., <5% toluene), use it (e.g., 5%
toluene).
• If concentration range is know (e.g.,

• If only the lower bound is known, assume the upper bound is 100%. Factor out other known
constituents (e.g., 10% water and >60% toluene), create a range (e.g., 60-90% toluene) and
then use the midpoint (e.g., 75% toluene).
In cases where certain materials that have broad ranges or high upper bounds for multiple
constituents (e.g., %x+%y+%z=110% of mixture), the total components of a mixture should not
exceed 100%. In these instances, the best available information should be used to estimate the
approximate concentration of the chemicals in the material. However, if a facility is aware that a
chemical is probably present, but has no information on its concentration in, then they are not
required to consider that chemical in its threshod determinations.
Data collected as part of your waste
analysis and waste profiling activities,
coupled with customer records, such as
Hazardous Waste Manifests and records
stating the quantity of waste received from
a customer in the reporting year, will be
valuable in making this determination. If
the chemical is in a mixture and you know
the concentration of the Section 313
chemical(s), simply multiply the amount of
the mixture by the chemical concentration

to obtain the amount of chemical present in the mixture. Perform this calculation for each
customer and total the amount of each listed Section 313 chemical for the reporting year.
If an elemental metal is converted to a metal compound, or if one metal compound is converted to
another metal compound, then a metal compound has been manufactured, even if it is within the
same Section 313 metal compound category. The quantity of the Section 313 metal compound
manufactured must be counted towards the 25,000 pound threshold. If the valence state of the
metal changes, a metal compound is manufactured. Metal compounds can also be manufactured
without a change in valence state. For instance, copper in valence state 0 may change to copper
in valence state +2 by combining with oxygen. The valence state changes and the resulting
copper compound, copper oxide, is manufactured. However, copper sulfate with copper in a
valence of +2 may change to copper oxide. Although the valence state remains the same (+2), a
new metal compound is manufactured (copper oxide). Finally, there may be cases in which the
metal compound is not changed at all during combustion. For example, if beryllium oxide in waste
remains as beryllium oxide after combustion, a metal compound has not been manufactured.

SECTION 4
OVERVIEW OF SECTION 313 RELEASE ESTIMATION
This section presents general guidelines for preparing Section 313 release estimates. It begins with
a discussion of general ideas on estimating chemical releases. A summary of errors that
commonly occur in Section 313 reporting follows.
GENERAL CONCEPTS
Release Estimation
A Form R or Form A must be completed for each Section 313 chemical that meets the applicable
activity thresholds. Each form requests facility specific information and must identify the chemical
for which thresholds were exceeded. Form A (the abbreviated report) includes a statement that
the facility did not exceed specified amounts. Tthe main components of Form R are
environmental release estimates to all media for the reportable chemical during the preceding
calendar year. This includes all wastes containing the reportable Section 313 chemical that are
sent off-site by the facility for further waste management. Specifically, facility release estimates
must be made for the following release sources:
• Releases to air from fugitive or non-point sources (Section 5.1)
• Releases to air from stack or point sources (Section 5.2)
• Releases to water directly discharged to a receiving stream (Section 5.3)
• Releases in wastes that are injected underground (Section 5.4)
• Releases to land on-site (Section 5.5)
* Releases to water discharged to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) (Section 6.1)
• Wastes transferred off-site for recycling, energy recovery, waste treatment, or disposal
(Section 6.2)

TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
Development of accurate and comprehensive release estimates requires consideration of all
possible release pathways. The threshold determination provides valuable information when
beginning the release estimation process for a Section 313 chemical: each material containing a
Section 313 chemical is identified. For each of these materials, the facility should identify all
potential release sources. A useful way to do this is to draw a; process flow diagram that traces
the material's path through the plant. The process flow diagram should identify each major piece
of equipment (including pollution control devices) through which the material passes, from its
initial entry into the facility to its final disposition. The diagram should also identify all potential
release sources and pollution control equipment for the chemical.
i
After you have identified all the potential release sources for a chemical, you can estimate releases
for each source. Often, the starting point for a release estimate is chemical throughput data,
which are typically available from threshold determination calculations.
Given the chemical throughput quantities for a process, you must apply other data and
assumptions to complete the estimates. This information includes process-specific data (e.g.,
scrubber efficiency) and any data developed for other environmentally oriented purposes (e.g., air
and wastewater monitoring data, air and water permits and permit applications, RCRA manifest
data, monitoring data). :
Section 313 does not require any new monitoring to be performed. Facilities should use existing
data to calculate release estimates. The accuracy of a release estimate is proportional to the
quantity and quality of the data used in its preparation. Situations may arise where estimates
based on one set of data contradict estimates based on another. In such cases, the facility should
document the rationale for using one data set (or method) versus another. If a facility is aware
that a chemical is probably present but has no method to estimate releases or quantities on site,
then they are not required to report on that chemical.
Release estimates can be developed by combining all available data with assumptions concerning
the fate of each chemical in the process. There are four general methods for developing a release
estimate. These methods may be used together or in sequence in developing release estimates.
• Direct measurement (basis of estimate code = M; entered in Part E Sections 5 and 6) -
These are estimates based on actual monitoring of the concentration of a chemical. The
chemical's concentration in the waste stream multiplied by the flow rate or volume of the
waste stream and its density yields the mass of the chemical released. Direct measurement
is typically used to estimate releases via wastewater, solid waste, and hazardous waste, in
part, to ensure compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Although this
estimation method should yield the most accurate results, only rarely are sufficient data
October 6, 1997 (Version 1.0)
4-2
-------
TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT TSD FACILITIES
available for direct measurement data to be applied without also resorting to other
techniques (e.g., engineering calculations, mass balance). The frequency of the direct
measurements should be taken into account when determining if monitoring data alone are
sufficient for making a reasonable estimate. For example, if a facility has only gathered
monitoring data once throughout the year, other methods may provide a more accurate
estimate.
Note an indication that reportable chemical is below detection is not equivalent to stating
that the chemical is not present. If the reportable Section 313 chemical is known to be
present a concentration equivalent to half the detection limit should be used in subsequent
calculations of release estimate quantities (e.g., if the limit of detection is 10 mg/1, release
calculations should be performed using a concentration of 5 mg/1). If the reportable
Section 313 chemical is not known to be present then 0 can be assumed.
• Mass balance (basis of estimate code = C entered in Part II, Sections 5 and 6) - These are
estimates based on a knowledge of the quantity of a chemical entering and leaving a
process. An imaginary boundary is first drawn around the process, and all streams
entering or leaving the boundary are identified. Assuming the amount of the chemical in
the process input streams is known, a facility could calculate the quantity in waste streams
by difference. A facility would need to account for any accumulation or depletion of the
chemical within the mass balance boundary. The equation for mass balance is:
Input + Generation = Output + Amount Reacted + Accumulation
Using a mass balance to estimate a relatively small release of a chemical with a large
throughput can lead to inaccurate, or even negative release estimates. Even a small
percentage error in a large throughput could amount to a greater quantity than the release
recalculated. When several large values each with their respective errors are used to
calculate a small release, propagation of errors occurs which could yield a highly
inaccurate value. Other techniques should be considered in these situations.
Mass balance estimates usually require engineering calculations or assumptions to be made
(e.g., all usage results in air or water releases). These assumptions should be explicitly
stated in the documentation and should be checked for reasonableness.
• Emission factors (basis of estimate code = E entered in Part II, Sections 5 and 6) -
Release information derived from facilities or processes similar to yours can be used to
estimate releases. Emission factors come in two forms. The first expresses releases as a
ratio of the amount of chemical released to facility throughput or production (e.g., 0.5
October 6,1997 (Version 1.0) 4-3
-------
TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
pound of Chemical X released per every pound of Material Y used). The second provides
a typical concentration of a chemical in a waste stream (e.g., 0.1 mg/L of Chemical Z in
wastewater from scrubbers). These factors, combined with process throughput or waste
stream flow data, can be used as a basis for the release estimate. Many emission factors
are available in Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-42). AP-42 can be
accessed via the world wide web at htrp://134.67.1Q4.12/htm1/chief/chief.htm#CRn The
basis of estimate code "E" can only be used for published Section 313 chemical-specific
emission factors. :
The reliability of emission factors depends on the quality and quantity of data used in their
derivation, plus the similarity of the process to which they are applied and the quality of
raw materials for the process.
• Engineering calculations and assumptions (basis of estimate code = O entered in Part
II, Sections 5 and 6) - Estimates that do not fall into any of the above categories are
considered engineering calculations. Typically, these estimates are based on standard
engineering principles using properties of the chemicals involved, process data, or process
knowledge. Example chemical properties include vapor pressure, solubility in water, and
density. Example process parameters include temperature, pressure, and material flow
rate. Other examples of engineering calculations would be the use of general equipment
emissions factors or non-published, facility-developed emissions factors.
Reasonable Estimates: Significant Figures and Use of Range Codes
EPA recommends that two significant figures be used when reporting release and off-site transfer
quantities in Part II, Sections 5 and 6 of Form R. Use of two significant figures may prevent
errors from being reported on Form R, because a small calculating error may not impact the final
reported quantity if the quantity is rounded to two significant figures. If you have reason to
believe that your best estimate of a release quantity is particularly imprecise, you could use one
significant figure or one of the range codes in reporting releases in Part II, Sections 5 and 6 of the
Form R, if applicable:
Range Code A = 1 to 10 pounds
Range Code B = 11 to 499 pounds
Range Code C = 500 to 999 pounds ;

Stack or Point-Source Air Emissions (Part n, Section 5.2 of Form R)
Point-source air emissions can occur from
numerous pieces of process equipment
throughout a facility. Potential sources
include the following:
• Air pollution control devices such
as scrubbers, condensers,
baghouses
• Storage tanks, process tanks, and
waste tanks
• Process vessels such as reactors
and distillation columns
Where actual monitoring or measurement
data are not available, data sources and
calculation methods that could be
employed in estimating stack or point
source emissions include the following:
TANKS •
The TANKS program is designed to estimate emissions
of organic chemicals from several types of storage tanks.
The calculations are performed according to EPA's
AP-42, Chapter 12. After the user provides specific
information concerning a storage tank and its liquid
contents, the system produces a report which estimates
the chemical emissions for the tank on an annual or
partial year basis. The user can also determine individual
component losses by using one of the specification
options available in the program.
The TANKS program relies on a chemical database of
over 100 organic liquids and a meteorological database
which includes over 250 cities in the United States; users
may add new chemicals and cities to these databases by
providing specific information through system utilities.
On-line help provides documentation and user assistance
for each screen of the program. The TANKS program
and manual can be downloaded from the world wide web

Storage Tanks and Loading Operations
Storage of a Section 313 chemical in itself does not constitute a reportable activity (e.g.,
manufacture, process, or otherwise use); thus, amounts of Section 313 chemicals in storage do
not have to be considered toward threshold determinations. However, if a threshold for a Section
313 chemical has been exceeded elsewhere at the facility, amounts of the chemical released during
storage must be considered for release calculations. !

Releases frqm storage tanks and loading operations depend primarily on the quantity of wastes
handled, the chemical composition of the wastes, and the number, size and type of tanks. Typical
releases will include:
• Breathing losses to air
• Working losses to air
• Accidental spills, leaks, and drips (as discussed in a following section)
Several options are available for calculation of releases from storage tanks. Equations provided in
EPA Publication AP-42 can be used to estimate releases. These equations require that the
molecular weights of all the chemicals in the waste be known along with the partial pressures of
the chemicals in the waste. RCRA Subtitle C TSDs and solvent recovery facilities may not have
all of these data available to them.
Other options that can be employed are the use of direct monitoring information, if available.
Mass balance calculations also may be used. If direct monitoring data are not available and mass
balance calculations overestimate releases, TSDs and solvent recovery facilities may use
calculations for total volatile organics (VO) prepared to determine compliance with 40 CFR
Subpart CC (Air Emissions Standards from Tanks, Containers, and Surface Impoundments),
which would need to be weighted to the percentage of the volatile organic of concern. Under
Subpart CC a facility that manages wastes having an average VO concentration at or above 500
ppmw must comply with specified tank, surface impoundment, container and miscellaneous unit
Standards. To determine if the facility is managing wastes having an average VO concentration at
or above 500 ppmw they may use any number of test methods appropriate for their waste (e.g.,
Methods 25D, 624, 625,1624, 1625). Recognizing that these tests are designed to measure total
VOs, facilities may be able to use information generated by these tests to help estimate releases of
Section 313 chemicals from their waste.
Emissions from tank vents also can be estimated using the EPA software, TANKS version 3.0.
This program uses equations developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to estimate air
emissions from organic liquids in storage tanks. The TANKS 3.0 program requires information
about the type of storage tank, the site location, and the type of organic liquid contained in the
storage tank. From this input information, emission reports are developed which contain emission
records for each storage tank modeled. More information on the TANKS 3.0 model, as well as
copies of the user's manual and program, is available from EPA's Technology Transfer Network
(TTN) bulletin board system accessible through direct modem at (919) 541-5742 or via the world

Wastewater Discharges (Part n, Section 5.3 and 6.1 of Form R)
WATERS
A computer program, WATERS, is available for
estimating the fate of organic compounds in various
wastewater treatment units, including collection systems,
aerated basins, and other units. WATERS is written to
run under DOS without the need to purchase other
programs. WATERS contains useful features such as (he
ability to link treatment units to form a treatment system,
the ability for recycle among units, and the ability to
generate and save site-specific compound properties. The
WATERS program and users manual can be downloaded
from the ; world wide web at
http://134.67.104.12/html/chief/dat7-dn.htm.
Discharges to a stream or water body are
reported in Part II, Section 5.3 of Form R,
while transfers to Publicly Owned
Treatment Works (POTWs) are reported
in Part II, Section 6.1 of Form R. Because
the release estimation approach is similar
for both types of wastewater discharges,
they are discussed here together.
A facility that discharges or has the
potential to discharge water containing
regulated wastes must operate under the
terms of Federal, state, and/or local
permits, such as a NPDES direct discharge
permit, or a POTW indirect discharge
agreement. The permit(s) or agreement usually require measurements of the water volume and
monitoring and analyses of some generalized wastewater parameters including concentrations of
various constituents. In some
cases, the constituent analyses
required for permit compliance
includes Section 313 chemicals. In
these instances, releases can be
calculated by multiplying the
volume of wastewater released by
the concentration of the chemical
released. Releases discharged to a
POTW should be reported as off-
site transfers on Part II, Section
6.1 of Form R.
Based on the concentration and
wastewater flow data available, an
estimate of discharges to water can
be calculated. Facilities should
calculate the daily average
discharges of a reportable Section
313 chemical in pounds and must
use those estimates to determine
Example Calculation of Yearly Wastewater
Discharge
A facility has monitoring data on discharges to water of xylene, a
listed Section 313 chemical, and a Form R report is required. In
this example, monitoring data on this chemical are only available
for two days in the year. The daily quantities of pounds of xylene
released for those two dates would then be divided by the number
of sample dates to determine the daily average for the whole
reporting year, which would be used to estimate the annual
discharge of xylene in wastewater:

the annual discharge in pounds per year. Using the daily concentration data available for the
reportable chemical combined with the wastewater flow data for each of the sampling dates,
calculate an estimate of pounds per day for each sampling date. After the calculations are made
for each monitoring point (e.g., daily, monthly), the pounds discharged are averaged to determine
an average daily discharge amount, which would be multiplied by the number of days discharges
were possible (e.g., 365 days a year).
If no monitoring data exist, NPDES permit applications or POTW agreements may provide
information useful to estimating releases. Otherwise, process knowledge (or in some cases, mass
balance) needs to be utilized to develop an estimate.
Discharges of listed acids may be reported as zero if all discharges have been neutralized to pH 6
or above. If wastewater containing a listed acid is discharged below pH 6, then releases of the
acid must be calculated and reported. For more information on calculating such discharges of
acids, see EPA's Estimating Releases of Mineral Acid Discharges Using pH Measurements
(EPA745/F-97-003, June 1991).
Underground Injection On-Site (Part H, Section 5.4 of Form R)
A facility that has an underground injection well for waste disposal is regulated by Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA) permits. The permit(s) usually require measurements of the waste volume
and analyses of some generalized waste parameters including concentrations of various
constituents. When the constituents for which the permit requires analyses include reportable
Section 313 chemicals, releases via underground injection can be calculated by multiplying the
volume of waste injected by the concentration of the chemical in the waste. Facilities must report
amounts of Section 313 chemicals injected into Class I wells (Part n, Section 5.4.1 of Form R)
and amounts injected into Class E-V (Part n, Section 5.4.2 of Form R).
Release to Land On-Site (Part n, Section 5.5 of Form R)
In most circumstances involving the disposal of many Section 313 chemicals, land disposal is
regulated by RCRA and state regulations. In part n, Section 5.5, TRI is concerned with the total
amount of the specified reportable Section 313 chemical released to land, regardless of the
potential for the chemical to leach from the disposed waste.
October 6,1997 (Version 1.0) 4-11

TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
On-site disposal includes disposal in an on-
site RCRA Subtitle C landfill (Part II,
Section 5.5.1 A of Form R), disposal in
other on-site landfills (Part II, Section
5.5. IB of Form R), disposal in a land
treatment/application farming unit (Part n,
Section 5.5.2 of Form R), and disposal in a
surface impoundment (Part n, Section
5.5.3 of Form R). Data concerning these
types of "intentional" on-site disposal are
usually readily available because facilities
are required to monitor the quantity of
waste and will have a waste profile that
describes typical concentration ranges for
waste constituents. In some cases,
concentrations of constituents in the waste
have been measured. If on-site waste
treatment occurs prior to on-site land
disposal, the treatment efficiency and a
mass balance can be conducted to
determine the quantity of a chemical that is
land disposed. For example, a facility can
determine the amount of the chemical
present in the untreated waste, determine
the efficiency of treatment in removing or
destroying the chemical in the waste,
account for other releases (e.g., fugitive
emissions, leaks, spills, accidental releases,
losses to air pollution control devices,
etc.), and determine that the remainder is
the quantity of the chemical land disposed.
Releases to land on-site/other disposal
(Part H, Section 5.5.4 of Form R) include
the amount of chemical released to land on
site not covered by any of the above
categories and include spills, leaks, or
"unintentional" disposal, such as metal dust
that is deposited onto soil. Incident logs or spill reports can prbvide useful information.
Estimating Releases for Accidental Losses
Leaks, spills, and drips from the loading and transfer of
chemicals received at the facility should be considered
and reported in your release estimates. Data concerning
specific incidents (such as notification reports or incident
logs) should be used to estimate releases. Equations
found in Section!6 of EPA's Estimating Releases and
Waste Treatment Efficiencies for the Toxic Chemical
Release Inventory Form (EPA 560/4-88-002, December
1987), provides jguidance on calculating releases from
chemical spills or leaks, including liquid discharges,
fraction of discharge flashed, vaporization, two-phase
discharges, and gas discharges.
EXAMPLE: A facility uses more than 10,000 pounds of
ethylene glycol during the year to prevent freezing of coal
piles. While unloading on a windless overcast day, a
malfunction occurs and onsite personnel visually estimate
that 50 gallons of ethylene glycol are spilled. Most of the
spill remains on, the pad, however, an estimated ten
percent flows off: the pad and onto the soil. Absorbent
material used to remove the ethylene glycol from the
concrete pad is transferred offsite for disposal. How
would these releases be reported on the Form R? The
density of ethylene glycol is 9.3 pounds per gallon, and
the vapor pressure is 0.06 mm Hg at 68° F.
Quantity spilled = 50 gal x 9.3 IbsJgal = 465 Ibs.
Amount spilled onto pad = 465 x 90% = 4J8.5 Ibs.
Amount spilled onto soil = 465 xlO% = 46.6 Ibs.
Air emissions of ethylene glycol are expected to be
negligible due to the low vapor pressure and
environmental conditions, provided response and cleanup
are immediate. Therefore, the total amount spilled onto
the concrete pad (418.5 pounds) is transferred offsite and
should be reported in Sections 6.2, and the total amount
spilled onto the soil (46.6 pounds) should be reported in
Section 5.5.4, other disposal.

Transfers in Wastes to Other Off-site Locations (Part n, Section 6.2 of Form R)
Similar to on-site disposal, data concerning off-site waste transfers are usually readily available
because facilities are required to monitor the quantity of waste and either measure concentrations
of chemicals or develop a waste profile that describes typical concentration ranges. Under
Section 313, off-site transfer estimates are based on the filial, known disposition of the reportable
Section 313 chemical in the waste sent off-site for further waste management. For example, a
reportable Section 313 metal is contained in a waste solvent sent off-site for energy recovery
purposes. Even though the waste stream as a whole has a sufficient heat value to warrant energy
recovery, metals do not have a significant heat value and, therefore, cannot be combusted for •
energy recovery. Unless the facility had additional information on the fate of the reportable
Section 313 metal in this waste, the facility must assume the metal is being disposed and should
report the quantity sent off-site accordingly in Part n, Sections 6.2 and 8.1 of Form R.
Even wastes that were minimally processed, such as wastes that were repackaged, such as small
containers removed from a lab pack that were not otherwise opened or managed, may need to be
reported if the article exemption (as discussed in Section 2) is not applicable.
On-site Waste Treatment Methods and Efficiency (Part n, Section 7A of Form R)
In Section 7A, the following information must be reported:
General waste stream types containing the Section 313 chemical being reported;
Waste treatment methods or sequence used on all waste streams containing the Section
313 chemical
Range of concentration of the Section 313 chemical in the influent at the first step in a
waste treatment system
Efficiency of the waste treatment method or sequence in destroying or removing the
Section 313 chemical
Indication of whether the efficiency estimate was based on actual operating data
Report any waste treatment step through which the reportable Section 313 chemical passes
regardless of treatment efficiency. Report all non-identical parallel steps and all sequential steps.
Waste treatment for the purpose of Section 7 A is defined as removal of the Section 313 chemical
from the waste through destruction, biological degradation, chemical conversion, or physical
removal. Note that this definition of waste treatment is broader than the definition used in Part II,
Section 8 of Form R (discussed later). Section 7 A treatment efficiency is calculated as follows:

input
If your facility has a measurement of the pollutant concentration of input and output at the
treatment unit, these data should be used to calculate the treatment efficiency. If these
measurements are not available, data from literature or the equipment manufacturer can be used
for estimation purposes. Equipment manufacturer data on treatment efficiencies often represent
ideal operating conditions with an ideal waste matrix. Thus, you may want to adjust such data to
account for downtime, process upsets, and other less than optimum conditions during the year
that would result in lower efficiencies. ;

On-site Energy Recovery Processes (Part n, Section 7B of Form R)
i
In Section 7B, methods used to combust the Section 313 chemical in wastes for energy recovery
are reported. Two conditions need to be met to report the combustion of a Section 313 chemical
as energy recovery: (1) the chemical must have a heat of combustion high enough to support
combustion (e.g., 5,000 BTU per pound or greater), and (2) must be combusted in a unit
equipped with an energy recovery device, such as a waste heat boiler.

EPCRA Section 313 listed metals in waste streams sent off-site to POTWs or other off-site
locations for treatment for destruction should be reported in Section 8.1, unless the facility has
knowledge that the metal is being recovered.
Quantity Used for Energy Recovery On-site (Part H, Section 8.2 of Form R)
Estimate a quantity of the Section 313 chemical in wastes combusted for energy recovery on-site.
This estimate should be the quantity of the chemical combusted in the process for which codes
were reported in Section 7B. Test data from trial burns or other monitoring data may be used to
estimate the quantity of the Section 313 chemical combusted for energy recovery purposes. If
monitoring data are not available, vendor specifications regarding combustion efficiency may be
used as they relate to the reportable Section 313 chemical. A quantity must be reported in
Section 8.2 when a method of on-site energy recovery is reported in Section 7B and vice versa.
Two conditions need to be met to report the combustion of a Section 313 chemical as energy
recovery: the chemical (1) must have a heat of combustion high enough to support combustion
(e.g., 5,000 BTU or greater), and (2) must be combusted in a unit equipped with an energy
recovery device, such as a waste heat boiler. Note that "NA" should be reported for Section 313
chemicals which are Halons (e.g., CFCs) and metals that do not have a heat of combustion
sufficient to sustain combustion.
Quantity Used for Energy Recovery Off-site (Part H, Section 8.3 of Form R)
The quantity reported in Section 8.3 is the quantity reported in Section 6.2 for which energy
recovery codes are reported. Section 6.2 energy recovery codes are M56 and M92. If a quantity
is reported in Section 8.8, subtract any associated off-site transfers for energy recovery:
§8.3 = §6.2 (energy recovery) - §8.8 (off-site energy recovery)
Quantity Recycled On-site (Part H, Section 8.4 of Form R)
Estimate a quantity of the Section 313 chemical recycled in wastes on-site. This estimate should
be the quantity of the chemical recycled in the process for which codes were reported in Section

§8.5 = §6.2 (recycling) - §8.8 (off-site recycling) '.
Quantity Treated On-site (Part H, Section 8.6 of Form R)
Waste treatment in Section 8 is limited to the destruction or chemical conversion of the Section
313 chemical. The quantities reported in Section 8.6 will be those treated in a subset of the
processes for which codes were reported in Section 7A, where treatment includes physical
removal from a waste stream. To estimate this quantity, you should determine if operating data
exist which indicate a treatment (e.g., destruction or chemical conversion of Section 313
chemical) efficiency and use that efficiency value combined with throughput data to calculate an
estimate. If operating data are unavailable, use available vendor specifications. Section 7A must
be completed if a quantity is entered in Section 8.6.
Quantity Treated Off-site (Part H, Section 8.7 of Form R)
The quantity reported in Section 8.7 must be the sum of the quantities reported in Section 6.2, for
which treatment codes are reported, and the quantities reported in Section 6.1, which were sent to
a POTW. Section 6.2 waste treatment codes are M40, M50, M54, M61, M69, and M95. If a
quantity is reported in Section 8.8, subtract any associated off-site transfers for treatment:
§8.7 = §6.1 + §6.2 (treatment) - §8.8 (off-site treatment).
Because metals cannot be destroyed or chemically converted, metals cannot be reported as treated
in Section 8. Quantities of metals reported in Section 6.1 and 6.2 as being treated should be
reported in Section 8.1 (Quantity released), unless the facility has knowledge that the metal is

CALCULATING RELEASE ESTIMATES AT TSD AND SOLVENT RECOVERY
FACILITIES
In chapter 4, the tools and techniques available for estimating these releases to the environment
and reporting of the disposition of wastes (including transfer off-site, land disposal, underground
injection, and wastewater discharges) were discussed. In this chapter typical pretreatment
processes, recovery technologies, treatment technologies, and disposal technologies utilized by
RCRA Subtitle C TSD and solvent recovery facilities are discussed. For each technology, the
technology is briefly described and the typical units employed and associated release pathways in
the process are provided. Additionally, any technology-specific release issues are also discussed.
RCRA Subtitle C TSD and solvent recovery
facilities should evaluate their technologies on
a site-specific basis. This guidance is merely a
starting point considering possible releases
and estimation methods. Developing accurate
and comprehensive release estimates requires
the consideration of all possible release
pathways.
PRETREATMENT PROCESSES
As received for recycling, solvents may
require pretreatment to remove debris, adjust
the pH, or remove excess waste prior to
recovery of the solvent. Typical pretreatment
processes include blending, neutralization,
filtration/separation, decantation, and drying.
Each of these processes is discussed below.
Accidental Releases
Accidental releases can occur from almost
any operation such as waste storage, waste
transfer, or waste treatment. These incidents
can result in releases to air, water, or land. If
the spill is contained and collected, these
incidents can also result in on-site waste
treatment, on-site energy recovery, on-site
recycling, and off-site waste transfers.
Accidental releases are not specifically
discussed further in this section, but facilities
should be aware of the need to include these
incidents in their consideration of possible
releases.
Blending
Prior to solvent recovery, solvents may be blended to modify the solvent viscosity or stabilize the
solvent. Solvents are pumped to blend tanks where emulsifiers, surfactants, binders, and/or
thickeners are added. From the blend tank the product is pumped into either storage tanks or
drums for shipment or solvent recovery. After each solvent batch, the blend tanks may be flushed
and settling tank sludge and other residuals are removed.
October 6,1997 (Version 1.0)

TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
Neutralization
Some solvents may require adjustment of the pH prior to reclamation or prior to shipment of
recovered product. The solvent may be transferred to an accumulation tank and neutralized prior
to being pumped into either storage tanks or drums for shipment or solvent recovery. After each
solvent batch, the accumulation tanks need to be flushed to remove settling tank sludge and other
residuals. The settled material may then be disposed on-site or transferred offsite for disposal.
Filtration/Separation
Solvent is sent through a semi-permeable membrane to separate debris and other organic
compounds. Remaining solvent is pumped into either storage tanks or drums for shipment or
solvent recovery. The filter and filtered material must be disposed on-site or transferred offsite
for disposal.
Polymer Filtration
i
The use of water-soluble chelating polymers in combination with filtration is a pretreatment
process for the recovery of metal ions from dilute plating bath rinse waters. Metal ion
concentration/separation is based on size exclusion with retention (or membrane rejection) of
metal ions chelated to the polymer filter, while smaller unbound species in the solvent are able to
freely pass through the pores of the filtration membrane. Remaining solvent is pumped into either
storage tanks or drums for shipment or solvent recovery. The filter and filtered material must be
disposed on-site or transferred offsite for disposal. i
Decantation
Decantation is the separation of desirable and undesirable phases in a liquid form. Depending
upon the specific gravity of the desirable material (e.g., recovered solvent), the product may be
draw off the top of or withdrawn from the bottom of a tank. :
For Section 313 chemicals that are recycled or recovered through physical pretreatment, the
applicable on-site recycling codes in Part H, Section 7C of the Form R is:

Thermal Drying and Steam Drying
Thermal drying is a pretreatment technology applicable to solvent wastes having filterable solids
content of approximately 40 percent or greater. Thermal drying removes both water and volatile
organics from a solvent waste through evaporation. A wide range of batch and continuous
thermal dryers is available. One common type of thermal drying, the screw-flight dryer, consists
of a hollow screw enclosed in a jacketed trough.
This process reuses (instead of exhausting) the water vapor liberated from the material being dried
and reheats it to superheated steam as an energy efficient drying method. This process employs a
series of drying sections in which superheated steam is directed onto the material to be dried. The
drying rate is enhanced over current methods by forcing high temperature superheated steam at
atmospheric pressure and high temperature directly at the material. The absence of oxygen in this
process allows for higher temperature operation. The mixing of liberated water from the material
with the high temperature steam yields a lower temperature superheated steam. The dryer
process is ideally suited for the application of indirect fired natural gas as a fuel.
Applicable waste treatment codes (Part n, Section 7A of Form R) for thermal or steam drying
include P83 (Thermal Drying/Dewatering) and P99 (Other Physical Treatment). The quantity of a
reportable Section 313 chemical destroyed or chemically converted would be reported in Part II,
Section 8.6, Quantity treated on-site, of Form R.
Some potential releases of waste generation sources associated with pretreatment processes
include:
Evaporative leaks from pipes, equipment, and valves (fugitive air emission, §5.1)
Storage tank vents (point source air emissions, §5.2)
Product accumulation tank vents (point source air emissions, §5.2)
Air emissions from treated and untreated waste (sludge) storage (§5.1 or §5.2), and

Solvent Extraction
Solvent extraction is a treatment technology applicable to wastes with a broad range of total
organic content. The basic principle is that constituents are removed from a waste by mixing the
waste with a solvent that will preferentially dissolve the constituents of concern from the waste.
The waste and the solvent must be immiscible so that after mixing the two immiscible phases can
physically separate by gravity. Figure 1 presents the solvent extraction process. This technology
has been used to treat oil refinery wastes and other organic wa:stes. A wide variety of solvents
can be selected for use depending upon the organic compounds to be removed and the other
constituents of the waste. Solvent extraction typically involves the use of a series of tanks (mixer-
settler), extraction columns, or centrifugal contactor (drum-sized vessel).

Chemical Dehalogenation
Chemical dehalogenation is used to treat sediments, sludge, and soils primarily containing organic
contaminants such as PCBs, VOCs and petroleum wastes. Chemical dehalogenation chemically

Air Stripping
Air stripping is a technique used primarily for removing volatile and semivolatile compounds from
aqueous solutions. Air strippers volatilize compounds from the water phase into the vapor phase.
The contaminants are transferred to the air stream, collected in carbon adsorption systems, and
later treated by other technologies such as incineration or oxidation. Figure 9 presents the air
stripping process.
In the most common process, packed tower stripping, contaminated water percolates down
through a stripping column of packed materials. The contaminant forms a thin film on the packed
material and air blown up from the bottom drives off the VOCs.
Applicable waste treatment codes (Part II, Section 7A of Form; R) for air stripping include P41

Steam Stripping
Steam stripping is a form of distillation applicable to the treatment of wastewater containing
organics that are volatile enough to be removed by the application of heat using steam as the heat
source. Typically, steam stripping is applied where there is less than one percent volatile organics
in the waste. Figure 4 presents the steam stripping process.
A steam stripping unit consists of a boiler, a stripping column, a condenser and a collection tank.
The principle of operation is the volatilization of hazardous constituents through the application
of heat. Constituents are then condensed and then either reused or further treated by another
process such as incineration. If needed, water or a solvent are added to make the waste more
pumpable.
Applicable waste treatment codes (Part n, Section 7A of Form R) for steam stripping include P41
(Steam Stripping). The quantity of a reportable Section 313 chemical destroyed or chemically

Critical Fluid Extraction
Critical fluid extraction is a technology applicable to wastes containing aliphatic hydrocarbons,
alkenes, simple aromatic solvents (e.g., benzene or toluene), polynuclear aromatics, and phenols.
The extraction medium typically is pressurized carbon dioxide, propane, butane, or pentane.
October 6, 1997 (Version 1.0)

-------
TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
Critical fluid extraction is a column-based technology. The waste is pumped into an extraction
column where the extraction medium leaches organic constituents from the waste. After
extraction occurs, the solution is gravity separated into a waste stream and a solvent-rich stream.
The waste stream may be filtered to remove insoluble components prior to additional waste
treatment. The solvent-rich stream is separated by pressurized evaporation to yield (1) a gaseous
solvent stream that can be recycled for reuse, (2) a residue consisting of liquid hydrocarbons that
can be recycled or treated, and (3) inorganic residuals or waste solids that will need to be treated.
For chemicals recovered through this process, applicable recycling codes for critical fluid
extraction include R14 (Solvent/Organics Recovery ~ Solvent Extraction) for Part n, Section 7C
of Form R. For chemicals not recovered through this process, applicable waste treatment codes
for critical fluid extraction include P61 (Solvent Extraction other than for reuse or recovery) for
Part n, Section 7 A of Form R. The quantity of a Section 313 chemical recovered would be

Distillation
Distillation is a treatment technology applicable to wastes containing one or more organic
chemicals that can be separated from the waste through vaporization of the volatile organic
portion from the liquid waste by heating the waste. The vaporized gas is condensed and the
organic chemicals are recovered. Distillation processes can recover one or more organic
chemicals. The greater the difference in vapor pressure of the organic chemicals versus the rest of
the waste, the more easily the separation can occur. In addition to the recovered organic
chemicals, other streams produced include the distillation bottoms, which contain the least volatile
components, and releases of non-condensed organics that are routed to an air emissions control

Metals Recovery Using Acid Leaching
Acid leaching is a treatment technology used to treat wastes in solid or slurry form containing
metal constituents that are soluble in a strong acid solution or that can be converted by reaction
with a strong acid to a soluble form. Acid leaching can be used to recover Section 313 metals
such as copper, nickel, silver, and cadmium from inorganic wastes generated in the primary metals
and inorganic chemicals industries.
The metal in the waste to be leached can exist in its elemental form but more commonly exists in
the compound state. Antimony compounds, arsenic compounds, barium compounds, cadmium
compounds, chromium compounds, cobalt compounds, copper compounds, lead compounds,
manganese compounds, mercury compounds, nickel compounds, selenium compounds, silver
compounds, thallium compounds, and zinc compounds are separate Section 313 chemical
categories distinct from the elemental form. Therefore, two separate and exclusive threshold
determinations potentially may be required for each Section 313 metal -- one for each elemental
metal and one for each metal compound category. Threshold determinations for the metal
compound categories require the calculation to be made on the cumulative weight of all
compounds containing a specific metal (e.g., copper oxide plus copper sulfate plus copper
chloride) present in a waste. When performing release reporting for metal compounds, releases
are to be reported on the basis of the elemental metal. Note that if thresholds are exceeded for a
metal and its corresponding metal compound (e.g., chromium and chromium compounds), a
combined Form R can be prepared.

The most common acids used in this leaching process are sulfuric (H2SO4), hydrochloric (HC1),
and nitric (HNO3) acids. Nitric acid is a Section 313 chemical; therefore, reporting is required if
10,000 pounds or more are otherwise used in the reporting year. Sulfuric and hydrochloric acids
are Section 313 chemicals only if they are manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in the
aerosol form. '
Acid leaching is a tank-based treatment
technology employing two major categories of
leaching operations. The first category,
percolation, is conducted in large tanks
(greater than 50,000 gallons) in which the
waste is placed and acid is added. The acid
percolates through the waste and drains
through porous media or screens at the
bottom of the tank. After leaching, the solids
in the tank are removed for further treatment.
The second category, dispersed-solids
leaching, involves the dispersion of fine solids
into acid in batch tanks. The acid and solids
are mixed and may be forwarded to a holding
tank to allow the leaching process to reach
completion. Solids are removed from the acid
by filtration and are forwarded for further
treatment.
For Section 313 metals that are recycled
(recovered) through the acid leaching process,
the applicable on-site recycling code R23 (Metals Recovery ~ Acid Leaching) is reported in Part
II, Section 7B of Form R. The quantity of a Section 313 metal recovered through acid leaching
would be reported in Part II, Section 8.4, Quantity recycled on-site, of Form R. For Section 313
chemicals that are not recycled (recovered) through the acid leaching process, applicable section
7A waste treatment codes include P99 (Other Physical Treatment). The quantity of a reportable
Section 313 chemical destroyed or chemically converted would be reported in Part II, Section'8.6,

Potential releases or waste stream generation sources from acid leaching include:
• Particulate matter emissions from handling and storage of the waste (fugitive air
emissions, §5.1) :
• Acid storage tank vents (point-source air emissions, §5.2)
Particulate Matter Emissions from Acid
Leaching
The most significant air emissions associated
with acid leaching are particulate matter
emissions from handling and storage of the
waste. These particulate matter emissions
can include metals. The quantity of Section
313 metals in the untreated waste would
have been estimated for threshold
determination purposes (probably on the
basis of a waste profile or analysis).
Particulate matter emission rates may be
obtained from calculations performed as part
of a permit application. Using the
composition of the waste, actual throughput
for the reporting year, and the particulate
matter emission rate, an estimate of metal
emissions can be developed.

High Temperature Metals Recovery
High temperature metals recovery (HTMR) is a technology applicable to wastes containing metal
oxides and metal salts (e.g., cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, and zinc compounds) at
concentrations ranging from 10 percent to over 70 percent with low levels (less than 5 percent) of
organics and water in the wastes. The basic principle of operation, illustrated in Figure 6, is that
metal oxides and salts are separated from a waste through a high temperature thermal reduction
process that uses carbon, limestone, and silica as raw materials. The carbon acts as a reducing
agent and reacts with metal oxides to generate carbon dioxide and free metal. Silica and
limestone serve as fluxing agents. HTMR has been demonstrated on wastes such as baghouse
dusts and dewatered scrubber sludge from the steel and ferroalloy industries. The HTMR process
typically consists of a mixing unit, a high temperature processing unit (kiln or furnace), a product
collection system, and a residual treatment system.

Use of Zinc Smelting Emission Factors
i
HTMR for hazardous wastes is similar to
primary zinc smelting, which is characterized
in AP-42. Operations that are similar
between zinc smelting and HTMR are the
ore (waste) unloading, storage and transfer
operations, and the roasting process. AP-42
provides an 'emission factor for paniculate
matter released during roasting operations.
The averaged emission factor is 610 Ib/ton
roasted (305 kg/kkg). If a facility has more
accurate facility-specific information
concerning emissions, that information
should be used rather than the AP-42
factors.
For Section 313 metals that are recycled

Mercury Retort
Retorting is a treatment technology applicable to wastes containing elemental mercury, as well as
mercury present in oxide, hydroxide, and sulfide forms, at levels above 100 parts per million,
provided that the waste has a low total organic content (less than one percent). In retorting,
sufficient heat must be transferred to the waste to cause elemental metals to vaporize. The retort
process, shown in Figure 7, generally consists of a retort (typically an oven) in which the waste is
heated, a condenser, a metals collection system, and an air pollution control system.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Hazardous Waste Debris Physical Treatment
This section focuses on the physical extraction technologies. The following five physical
extraction technologies may be used to remove hazardous waste from debris:1
• Abrasive Blasting: This involves the removal of contaminated debris surface layers using
water and/or air pressure to propel a solid media (e.g.., steel shot, aluminum oxide grit,
plastic beads). It is applicable to glass, metal, plastic, rubber, brick, cloth, concrete, paper,
pavement, rock, and wood.
• Scarification, Grinding, and Planing: These processes involve the use of striking piston
heads, saws, or rotating grinding wheels such that contaminated debris surface layers are
removed. It is applicable to glass, metal, plastic, rubber, brick, cloth, concrete, paper,
pavement, rock, and wood. •
• Spoiling: This process involves drilling or chipping holes at appropriate locations and
depth in the surface of the contaminated debris and applying a tool that exerts a force on
the sides of those holes such that the surface layer is removed. The surface layer removed
remains hazardous debris subject to the debris treatment standards. It is applicable to
glass, metal, plastic, rubber, brick, cloth, concrete, paper, pavement, rock, and wood.
• Vibratory Finishing: This process utilizes scrubbing media, flushing fluid, and oscillating
energy such that hazardous contaminants or contaminated debris surface layers are
removed. Vibratory finishing scrubbing media can include solvents or acids. It is
applicable to glass, metal, plastic, rubber, brick, cloth, concrete, paper, pavement, rock,
and wood. i

• High Pressure Steam and Water Sprays: Application of water or steam sprays of
sufficient temperature, pressure, residence time, agitation, surfactants, and detergents to
remove hazardous contaminants from debris surfaces or to remove contaminated debris
surface layers.
Physical treatment of hazardous debris results in the separation of debris and hazardous waste.
Such treatment may occur on a treatment pad or enclosed area such as a containment building or
spray booth. While the cleaned debris is no longer considered to be a hazardous waste, it may
still contain Section 313 chemicals.
Applicable waste treatment codes for debris treatment include P42 (Steam Stripping) and P99
(Other Physical treatment) and would be reported in Part II, Section 7 A of Form R. The quantity
of a reportable Section 313 chemical destroyed or chemically converted would be reported in Part
n, Section 8.6, Quantity treated on-site, of Form R.
Potential release or waste generation sources from hazardous debris physical treatment include:
Air emissions (§5.1 or §5.2)
Wastewaters (§5.3 or §6.1)
Cleaned debris, such as copper tubes, that are transferred off-site (§6.2) or disposed of on-
site (release to land on-site, §5.5)
Hazardous waste removed from the debris (investigate on a case-by-case basis)
It should be noted that if aluminum debris is physically treated by grinding, blasting, or other
technology that removes the debris surface layer, the generation (manufacture) of any aluminum
dust would be applied to the manufacturing threshold determination for aluminum (fume or dust)
and, if applicable, release reporting.
Chemical Precipitation
Chemical precipitation is applicable to metals, inorganics, and cyanides in wastewaters. Through
the addition of a precipitating agent, soluble metals and inorganics are converted to insoluble
prepicitates that can be removed through settling, clarification, or filtration. Typical precipitation
agents include lime (Ca(OH)2), caustic (NaOH), and sodium sulfide (Na^). Other agents that
may be used include soda ash (Na2CO3), phosphate (PO4"), and ferrous sulfide (FeS). Coagulating
or flocculating agents may be added to assist with the settling process. Figure 8 presents the
chemical precipitation process.

Chemical Reduction
Chemical reduction is a treatment technology applicable to wastes containing reducible organics,
inorganic oxidizers, and chromium. It is not applicable in most cases to wastes containing cyanide

hydrogen cyanide or hydrogen sulfide. Typical reducing agents include sodium sulfite (Na2SO3),
sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3), sodium metabisulfite (Na^Oj), sulfur dioxide (SO2), sodium
hydrosulfide (NaHS), or ferrous iron (Fe+2) for both chemical reduction and hexavalent chromium
reduction. Hydrazine (NjBy or elemental magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) also may

Ion Exchange
Ion exchange is a treatment technology applicable to metals in wastewater with metals present as
soluble ionic species; nonmetallic anions (halides, nitrates, sulfates, and cyanides); and water
soluble, ionic organic compounds. Ion exchange is a reversible process in which hazardous
cations and/or anions are removed from an aqueous solution and are replaced by nonhazardous
cations/anions. Figure 10 presents the ion exchange process. !
Ion exchange is a column-based treatment technology. When the waste stream to be treated is
brought into contact with a bed of resin beads (usually in a packed column), an exchange of
hazardous ions for nonhazardous ions occurs on the surface of the resin beads. After exhaustion,
the resin is regenerated by contacting it with a concentrated solution of exchange ion. Regenerant
solutions such as sulfuric and nitric acids or sodium hydroxide are typically used. Nitric acid is a
Section 313 chemical. Sulfuric acid is a Section 313 chemical if it is in the aerosol form.

Carbon adsorption is a treatment technology
applicable to organics and complexed metals
in wastewaters or gases. It involves the
physical transfer of a chemical from the
waste to the solid surface of the carbon.
Two types of carbon adsorption processes
are common. First, granular activated
carbon, pictured in Figure 11, involves the
use of a packed column carbon bed through
which wastewater passes. The carbon bed

which is referred to as breakthrough. At this point, the carbon bed will be regenerated through
thermal or chemical treatment. The carbon can be regenerated in place or can be removed and
regenerated elsewhere on site or off-site.
The second type of carbon adsorption is powdered activated carbon, pictured in Figure 12, in
which powdered carbon is mixed with wastewater in a tank-based system. Applicable waste
treatment codes (Part n, Section 7A of Form R) for carbon adsorption include P21 (Adsorption -
Carbon). :
Potential release or waste generation sources from the carbon adsorption process include:
Evaporative leaks from pipes, equipment, and valves (fugitive air emission, §5.1)
Storage tank and treatment tank vents (point-source air emission, §5.2)
Spent carbon that is regenerated on-site or transferred off-site (§6.2)
Treated effluent that may be further treated, discharged (§5.3 or §6.1), or transferred off-
site (§6.2)
If the carbon is treated (regenerated) on-site, releases from this activity should also be considered.
Carbon regeneration is normally conducted by means of chemical or thermal processes.
Polishing Filtration
Polishing filtration is a treatment technology applicable to wastewaters containing relatively low
concentrations of solids (less than 1,000 mg/l). This technology is typically used as a finishing
step for the supernatant liquid following chemical precipitation and settling/clarification of
wastewaters containing metal and other inorganic precipitates; In polishing filtration, wastewater
flows by gravity or under pressure to a filter and particles are physically removed by the filter
from the wastewater stream. ?
!
The two most common polishing filtration processes are cartridge and granular bed filtration.
Cartridge filtration takes place in a sealed vessel. Spent cartridge filters must be removed and
replaced. Granular bed filtration can take place in an open or closed vessel. Granular media filters
are cleaned by backwashing with filtered water. The backwash water must be removed from the
system.
Applicable waste treatment codes (Part H, Section 7A of Form R) for polishing filtration include
P12 (Filtration). Potential release or waste generation sources from polishing filtration include:

Sludge Dewatering
Sludge dewatering, also known as sludge filtration or cake-formation filtration, is a technology
used on wastes that contain high concentrations of suspended solids, (greater then 1 percent).
Sludge filtration is commonly applied to waste sludges such as clarifier solids for dewatering.
The basic principle of operation is the separation of particles from a mixture on a filter medium.
Waste is pumped, drawn by vacuum, or gravity-drained through a filter or filter press. The
resulting solids "cake" builds up on the filter medium. Coagulants (e.g., alum, ferric sulfate and
lime), fiocculants (polyelectrolytes), and filter aids (e.g., diatomaceous earth) may be mixed with
the waste feed prior to filtration. Sludge filtration may be a batch process (plate and frame type
filter) or continuous (using a vacuum drum and/or a conveyer belt). The process generates a
relatively dry dewatered solid and removes liquids that may be subject to further treatment.

Thermal Drying '•.
Thermal drying is a treatment technology applicable to solid wastes having filterable solids
content of approximately 40 percent or greater. Thermal drying removes both water and volatile
organics from a solid waste through evaporation. :
A wide range of batch and continuous thermal dryers is available. One common type, the screw-
flight dryer, consists of a hollow screw enclosed in a jacketed trough.
The applicable waste treatment code (Part n, Section 7 A of Form R) for thermal drying is P83
(Thermal Drying/Dewatering). The quantity of a reportable Section 313 chemical destroyed or
chemically converted would be reported in Part n, Section 8.6, Quantity treated on-site, of Form

Air emissions from treated and untreated waste (sludge) storage (§5.1 or §5.2)

Stabilization/Solidification
Stabilization and solidification are treatment technologies applicable to wastes containing
leachable metals and having a high filterable solids content, low; total organic carbon content, and
low oil and grease content. The basic principle is that teachable;metals in a waste are immobilized
following the addition of stabilizing agents and other chemicals. Reduced teachability is
accomplished by solidification of the waste or through the formation of chemical bonds between
the Section 313 chemical and the solid matrix. This technology is commonly used to treat
residuals generated from treatment of electroplating wastewater, inherently hazardous debris,
radioactive mixed wastes, and incineration ash residues. Stabilization and solidification can
involve any of the following technologies: :
• Solidification, in which materials are added to the waste to produce a solid. Chemical
bonding between the Section 313 chemical and the additive may or may not occur.
October 6, 1997 (Version 1.0)

TRI FORM R GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
TSD FACILITIES
• Stabilization, in which a waste is converted to a more chemically stable form, through the
use of solidification or chemical reaction. Biological treatment does not constitute
stabilization.
• Chemical Fixation, in which Section 313 chemicals are transformed to a new, non-mobile
form, typically with the chemical bonding of the chemical to the binder.
• Encapsulation, in which the Section 313 chemical is enclosed in a binder or protective
coating. In microencapsulation, wastes are first chemically stabilized using lime, kiln dust,
or portland cement to remove mobile liquid. The stabilized mixture then can be ground,
and the particles agglomerated by a polybutadiene binder that is encapsulated in high
density polyethylene. In macroencapsulation, which is typically used for non-friable solids
such as lead pipe or radioactive lead shielding, the waste is encapsulated in high density
polyethylene. The encapsulated material typically is land disposed.
• High temperature stabilization technologies include glass and slag vitrification and
elevated-temperature calcination processes. Vitrification involves dissolving wastes at
high temperatures into glass or a glass-like matrix. Soda ash, lime, silica, boron oxide, or
other glass-making materials can be used in vitrification. The constituents become
chemically bonded inside the matrix in many cases. Calcination involves heating the
material to high temperatures. This process removes the water of hydration from the
solids, converts hydroxides to oxides, and sinters the material, reducing its surface area to
a minimum. Vitrification is applicable to nonwastewaters containing arsenic or other
toxic metal constituents that are relatively nonvolatile at the process temperature.
Calcination is applicable to inorganic wastes that do not contain volatile constituents.
Vitrification requires a glass-making furnace. Calcination requires an oven or kiln and
may require the addition of lime.
Stabilization, presented in Figure 13, typically takes place in a mix tank or vessel. (High
temperature stabilization also requires a furnace or oven.) The two basic stabilization techniques
are cement-based and lime/pozzolan-based processes. Cement-based processes typically utilize
portland cement, which is a mixture of powered oxides of calcium, silica, aluminum, and iron that
results from kiln burning of raw materials such as limestone and clay. In both processes additives
such as silicates may be used to modify the process.

Air emissions from stabilization can
include organics, metals, and ammonia.
Ammonia is manufactured as a byproduct
in some stabilization technologies. If an
activity threshold for ammonia is met or
exceeded (e.g., 25,000 pounds or more
are manufactured), then a Form R and
release reporting for ammonia is
required.

stabilization include G01 (Cement
Processes including Silicates), G09
(Other Pozzolonic Processes including
Silicates), Gil (Asphaltic Processes),
G21 (Thermoplastic Techniques), and
G99 (Other Solidification Processes).
Chemical reactions occur in some
stabilization processes, and therefore, the
possibility exists that some Section 313
chemicals are destroyed or chemically
converted in the process.
Air emissions from stabilization processes using concrete
Both stabilization processes using concrete and concrete
batching use similar processing steps and materials. AP-42
factors for asphalt concrete plants can be used to estimate
emissions from the'concrete used in the stabilization and
solidification that involve the use of concrete. These emission
factors are included in the table below. The factors do not

DESTRUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Chemical Oxidation
Chemical oxidation is a treatment technology
used to treat wastes containing organics, sulfides,
cyanides, and complexed metals. The basic
principle of this technology is the chemical
oxidation of inorganic cyanides, dissolved
organic compounds, and sulfides to yield carbon
dioxide, water, salts, simple organic acids, and
sulfates. Typical oxidants include hypochlorite,
chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen
peroxide, ozone, potassium permanganate, sulfur
dioxide/air, and copper sulfate. Of these
chemicals, chlorine, ozone, potassium
permanganic (manganese compound), and
copper sulfate (copper compound) are Section
313 chemicals. If 10,000 pounds or more of any Figure 15 Chemical Oxidation Release
of these chemicals is otherwise used, a Form R is Pathways
required. In the case of chemical oxidation using
ozone (commonly referred to as ozonation), the
ozone typically is manufactured on-site due to transportation hazards and short shelf life of ozone.
Figure 15 presents the chemical oxidation process. :
Chemical oxidation typically occurs in tanks and is conducted in batch or continuous processes,
with mixing in a reaction tank. An additional tank may be employed for recovery/recycling of
ozone or sulfur dioxide.

Wet Air Oxidation
Wet air oxidation is a treatment technology applicable to organics and oxidizable inorganics (i.e.,
cyanide) in wastewaters and sewage sludge and can be used in the regeneration of spent activated
carbon. Wet air oxidation occurs at elevated temperature (175°C-325°C) and pressure (300-
3,000 psi) and involves both oxidation and hydrolysis, often in series. Wet air oxidation results in
the conversion of organic compounds into carbon dioxide, water vapor, ammonia (for nitrogen-
containing wastes), sulfate (for sulfur-containing wastes), and halogen acids (for halogenated
wastes). Due to the potential for partially degraded byproducts (which could be Section 313
chemicals) in the treated wastewater, additional treatment may be undertaken.

Electrolytic oxidation is a treatment technology applicable to wastes containing high
concentrations of cyanide in solution, such as concentrated spent plating solution and stripping
solutions, spent heat treating baths, alkaline descalers, and metal passivating (rust-inhibiting)
solutions. This process typically is applied as a pretreatment step to remove highly concentrated
cyanide prior to more conventional treatment. :
Electrolytic oxidation takes place in a closed cell that consists of two electrodes suspended in an
aqueous solution with direct current applied to drive the reaction. The solution is maintained at
52°C or higher. Sodium chloride may be added to the solution as an electrolyte to increase the
conductivity of the waste being treated. Due to the long retention time (days or weeks), water is
added periodically to make up for losses through evaporation. The treated waste generally is
forwarded for addition treatment, such as cyanide oxidation. The theoretical destruction process
is expressed below: '

Cyanide gas is not expected to evolve because of the high pH that is maintained. However,
because of the warm temperature, the routine evolution of nitrogen and CO2, and the turbulence
from mixing, it can be expected that vapors, possibly containing aerosol salts, may evolve from

precipitation, reverse osmosis, settling, evaporation, filtration, or carbon adsorption. In most
cases, these liquids are then sent to an on-site wastewater treatment facility. Any residues from
these treatment activities may require additional treatment such as stabilization/ solidification and
then disposal in an approved landfill. If the landfill is on site, this would be reported in Part II,
Section 5.5.1 of Form R. If these wastes are transferred off site, they would reported in Part II,
Section 6.2 of Form R. Management of the liquids and solids generated from the APC system
may generate air emissions that will need to be estimated and reported appropriately in Part II,
Sections 5.1 and/or 5.2 of Form R.
Flue gases from the combustion process are
treated by the APC equipment before
discharge through a stack. Incinerators and
other combustion devices are generally
required to stack test on a regular basis.
These stack tests can be used to develop
incinerator-specific emission factors (e.g.,
pounds of HC1 emitted per pound of chlorine
fed to the incinerator). Information on waste
feeds must be obtained to calculate emissions
from these streams.
Potential sources of information for waste
feed include:
• Waste Data Sheet (waste analysis or
waste profile) submitted by the waste
generator
• On-site representative sampling and
analysis of waste received
• EPA/DOT waste manifest
• Process knowledge of the industry the

The waste feed and handling processes generate fugitive air emissions. The magnitude of
emissions from solids handling will vary with operating conditions. Fugitive VOC emissions from
these activities can be estimated from algorithms developed by EPA. These algorithms also
estimate fugitive VOC emissions from all the operations within a combustion facility. Fugitive
particulate emissions can be estimated from the EPA publication, Air/Superfund National
Technology Guidance Study Series (EPA-450/1-89-003).
Incinerators and other combustion devices handling hazardous1 wastes must achieve a destruction
and removal efficiency (DRE) of at least 99.99% for RCRA wastes and 99.9999% for PCB or
dioxin wastes. The remaining 0.01% or 0.0001% can be assumed to pass through the system

combustion process may produce a number of other organic compounds called products of
incomplete combustion (PICs). PICs may include dioxin, formaldehyde, benzo(a)pyrene, and
other polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Because PIC formation is complex and difficult to fully

predict, no emission factors for PICs are

Estimating Releases for
Incineration at
Tim's TSD Lie.
Tim's TSD combusted 10,000 Ibs/yr of a waste stream
in its incinerator in the reporting year. The waste
contains 85% benzene and 0.5% lead, with the
remaining waste consisting of 14.5% non-reportable
chemicals. The incinerator operates at a temperature
of 2000°F, has a wet scrubber, and has demonstrated
99.994% DRE in stack tests. Estimate air emissions of
lead and benzene from the incinerator stack.
Benzene:
Benzene fed = (10,000 ltyyr)(85%) = 8,500 Ibs
Benzene emitted = (l-DRE%)(Benzenefed)
Benzene emitted - (1 - 99.994%)(8,500 Ibs) - 0.51 Ibs
Rounding to the nearest whole numbers, 1 Ib of benzene is released
to the air from the stack
Lead:
Lead fed = (10,000 lbs)(0.5%) = 50 Ibs
From Table ffl-8 in Guidance on Metals and Hydrogen Chloride
Controls For Hazardous Waste Incineration, we know that for this
system, 2% of the lead is released out the stack as air emissions.
Lead emitted = (2%)(50 Ibs) = 1 Ib
1 Ib of lead is released to the air from the stack.
When can incineration be reported as energy
recovery?
Two conditions need to be met to report the
combustion of a Section 313 chemical as energy
recovery: (1) the chemical must have a heat of
combustion sufficient (e.g., 5000 BTU per pound or
greater) to support combustion, and (2) must be
combusted in a unit equipped with an energy recovery
device, such as a boiler.

Biological Treatment
Aerobic biological treatment can be used for wastewaters containing organic constituents that are
biodegradable. The most common aerobic biological treatment technologies are activated sludge,
powdered activated carbon treatment, aerated lagoon, trickling filter, and rotating biological
contactor. Figure 21 presents a process flow diagram for generic activated sludge system.
In aerobic biological treatment, microorganisms that require oxygen will break down organic
constituents in wastewater into water, carbon dioxide, and cellular biomass. Water dissociable
nitrate compounds (a Section 313 chemical category), sulfate compounds, and low molecular
organic byproducts also may be formed depending upon the original organic constituent in the
waste. The following equation presents the generic biological treatment equation:
Wastewater
H2O + CxHy + O2
Organisms/Feed
microorganisms and nutrients
Residuals
> H2O + CO2 + cellular biomass
Applicable waste treatment codes (Part II, Section 7A of Form R) for biological treatment include
Bll (BiologicalTreatment -- Aerobic), B21 (BiologicalTreatment — Anaerobic), B31 (Biological
Treatment — Facultative), and B99 (Biological Treatment — Other). The quantity of a Section 313
chemical destroyed or chemically converted would be reported in Part BE, Section 8.6, Quantity
treated on-site, of Form R . The quantity of a reportable Section 313 chemical destroyed or
chemically converted would be reported in Part n, Section 8.6,1 Quantity treated on-site, of Form
R.
