HOTLINE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1.
RCRA
Regulatory Status of Waste from Oil
Gathering Pipelines
An oil production facility uses gathering
pipelines to transport oil from its production site to
a site owned by another facility. The oil has
already undergone initial oil/water separation.
Waste forms in the gathering lines during the
transportation of the oil. Is the waste that forms
subject to the hazardous waste exclusion at 40
CFR§261.4(b)(5)?
The answer depends on the ownership of the oil
at the time the waste forms. Section 261.4(b)(5)
excludes drilling fluids, produced waters, and other
wastes associated with the exploration,
development, or production of crude oil, natural
gas, or geothermal energy from the definition of
hazardous waste. Waste generated after legal
custody of the oil changes hands during
transportation will not meet the exclusion because
it is not intrinsic to the exploration, development,
or production of crude oil.
The July 6,1988, Federal Register (53 ER
25446, footnote 1) defines associated wastes as
those wastes other than produced water, rigwash,
and drilling muds and cuttings that are intrinsic to
exploration, development, and production of crude
oil and natural gas. The Report to Congress:
Management of Wastes from the Exploration.
Development, and Production of Crude Oil.
Natural Gas, and Geothermal Energy. VOL 1 of 3
(EPA/530-SW-88-003-A, Dec. 1987) states on
page 11-17 that "[t]he phrase 'intrinsically derived
from the primary field operations' is intended to
differentiate exploration, development, and
production operations from transportation (from
the point of custody transfer or of production
separation and dehydration) and manufacturing
operations." Accordingly, any waste generated
after a change in the custody of the oil or, in the
absence of the change in custody after the initial
oil/water separation, is not subject to the
§261.4(b)(5) hazardous waste exclusion because
it is not intrinsic to the exploration, development,
or production of crude oil.
2. Funding for the RCRA Program and
RCRA Reauthorization
What is the current status of the funding for
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) program? When will the RCRA statute
be reauthorized?
When the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) amended RCRA,
§2007(a) authorized funding for the RCRA
program through September 30,1988. There
have been no changes made to §2007(a) since
1984. Instead, funding for the RCRA program
has been provided through an annual
Congressional "de-facto" appropriations process.
Through this process, Congress is able to
appropriate money to EPA without going through
the lengthy process of reauthorizing the statute.
If Congress does not appropriate money, the
funding for the program would expire. EPA's
authority to regulate pursuant to RCRA, however,
is separate from all funding issues and would not
be affected.
Several different bills addressing various
solid and hazardous waste issues have been
introduced in the House and the Senate.

Hotline Questions and Answers

CERCLA
EMERGENCY PLANNING AND
COMMUNITY RIGHT-TO-KNOW
3. Core Program Cooperative Agreements 4. Section 313: Otherwise Use Activity
What are Core Program Cooperative
Agreements?
CERCLA §104(d)(l) authorizes EPA to award
cooperative agreements with States, political
subdivisions, and Federally recognized Indian
tribes. A Core Program Cooperative Agreement
(CA) is a legal instrument EPA can use to transfer
funds to a State, Federally recognized Indian tribe,
or a State's political subdivision to support
CERCLA implementation activities. EPA intends
the Core Program to help lay the groundwork for
the implementation of the integrated EPA-State/
tribe approach to meeting Superfund goals.
The regulations regarding State, political
subdivision, and Federally recognized Indian tribe
involvement in the Superfund program are found
in the National Contingency Plan at 40 CFR
§300.515. The requirements for CAs are
discussed in the June 5,1990, Federal Register (55
FR 22994), and codified at 40 CFR Part 35,
Subpart O, Cooperative Agreements and
Superfund State Contracts for Superfund
Response. These funds are not assignable to
specific sites, but are intended to develop and
maintain participation in the CERCLA response
program. All activities that are not site-specific
and that are necessary to support a recipient's
Superfund program are eligible for Core Program
funding. Examples include the development of
recordkeeping systems, the general coordination of
administration and/or management activities
associated with removals, and the development of
a 20-year State Waste Capacity Assurance Plan.
The number of Core Program CAs has increased
from 3 in 1987 to 46 in 1991. States are required
to provide a 10 percent cost share for Core
Program awards.
A facility covered under §313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-
Know Act (40 CFR Pan 372) manufactures
shoes. During production the facility uses
adhesives that contain solvents such as acetone
and toluene. Due to the inefficiency of the
process, 20 percent of the solvent remains
behind in the shoes when they are sold in
commerce. Would the facility count the
amount of solvent remaining in the shoes
toward the 25,000-pound processing
threshold?
No. The amount of solvent used in the
adhesive would count toward the 10,000-
pound otherwise use threshold. Since the
retention of the solvents in the adhesives used
to produce the shoes is unintentional, it would
not be considered processed. Thus, the facility
would file a Form R if it meets a 10,000-pound
otherwise use threshold for the acetone or
toluene in the adhesive.
5. Section 301: Establishment of a
Local Emergency Planning
Committee
A Local Emergency Planning Committee
(LEPC) must be representative of different
groups and organizations, as described in
§301 (c) of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title HI. It states
that, at a minimum, an LEPC must include
"...representatives from each of the following
groups or organizations: elected State and
local officials; law enforcement, civil defense,
firefighting, first aid, health, local
environmental, hospital, and transportation
personnel; broadcast and print media;
community groups; and owners and operators
-------
January 1992 Hotline Questions and Answers
of facilities subject to the requirements of this
subtitle." Does an LEPC have to consist of
one individual representative from each group
and organization, or can one member of an
LEPC represent more than one group or
organization listed?
In order for an LEPC to properly carry out
its duties, such as developing and distributing
an emergency plan and responding to public
comment, it must consist of representatives
from different groups and organizations as
described in §301 (c). One member of an
LEPC can be the representative for more than
one group or organization, but the LEPC must
include representatives from all the groups and
organizations listed in the statute. For
example, a member of the LEPC could be both
the community group representative and the
hospital representative, assuming that person is
involved in both organizations.
