HOTLINE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
RCRA
1. Speculative Accumulation
Calculation
In March 1991, a facility generated 200 kg
of sludge that exhibited the toxicity
characteristic (TC)for lead (D008). The
operator of the facility placed these materials
in storage to await reclamation of lead. At
that time, the facility was not accumulating
any other recyclable materials. Since the
sludge will be reclaimed, it is not considered a
solid waste while stored prior to reclamation
(40 CFR §261.2(c)(3)). On December 31,
1991, the facility still had not recycled any of
this material. Is the sludge accumulated
speculatively under §261.1(c)(8), since 75
percent was not recycled in the year, and
therefore subject to management as a solid
and hazardous waste?
No, th^.sludge would)
speculatively. Alth
before being recycledrjl
speculatively if the p
show that (1) the material is potentially
recyclable and has a feasible means of being
recycled, and (2) during the calendar year
(commencing on January 1) the amount of
material that is recycled or sent for recycling
equals at least 75 percent of the amount of that
material accumulated at the beginning of the
period (§26l.l(c)(8)). A facility owner/
operator must show that he or she has recycled
75 percent of the material in storage on
January 1 of that year. "Under this provision,
the amount of material turned over in a year is
lated
ttcan
critical, not the total amount accumulated at
the end of the year" (48 ER 14490; April 4,
1983). For the above facility, the amount of
material in storage on January 1, 1991, was
zero, so on December 31,1991, the operator
does not have to show that any amount was
recycled during the calendar year. On
January 1,1992, however, 200 kg of D008
sludge are in storage. Thus, the facility must
be able to show that 75 percent of this
material, or 150 kg, has been recycled or sent
for recycling by December 31, 1992. If the
operator cannot demonstrate this 75 percent
recycling rate, the sludge remaining in storage
is 'said to be accumulated speculatively and
becomes subject to regulation as a solid waste.
Because it exhibits a characteristic, the
generator must begin to handle the material as
a hazardous waste. The Agency notes that
"this approach could allow essentially a free
year to accumulate where a generator starts a
year with little or no waste" (48 FR 14490;
i April 4,1983). The period of one calendar
. year .starting on January i was selected,
however, to facilitate^enforcement and achieve
uniformity (50 ER 635; January 4,1985).
In making the above calculation, the 75
percent requirement applies to all materials of
the same class being recycled in the same
way. If this facility also generated a by-
product that exhibited the TC for chromium
(D007) and reclaimed it, the owner/operator
would make a separate speculative
accumulation calculation for this by-product
(50 ER 635-6; January 4,1985).
-------
Hotline Questions and Answers
February 1992
The RCRA regulations provide that certain
materials, which would otherwise be
considered hazardous waste, will not be
regulated as solid waste (and therefore
hazardous waste) when they are reclaimed
(§261.2(c)(3)). The requirement that materials
accumulated speculatively be regulated as
solid waste was intended to prevent abuse of
this exemption. It is only applicable to certain
situations, including the reclamation of
characteristic sludges and by-products,
materials used or reused as ingredients,
commercial product substitutes, black liquor,
sulfuric acid, and precious metals reclamation.
The rule is not applicable to spent materials
being reclaimed, listed sludges being
reclaimed, or listed by-products being
reclaimed, because these materials are already
considered solid wastes when awaiting
recycling (50 ER635; January 4,1985). It
also does not apply to commercial chemical
products that are stored prior to reclamation,
because, by definition, these materials are not
regulated as solid wastes until they are
abandoned or intended for discard (48 FR
14489; April 4,1983).
2. Medical Waste Tracking Act
Demonstration Program
What is the status of the Medical Waste
Tracking Act demonstration program, laid out
in 40 CFR Part 259?
In response to the Medical Waste Tracking
Act of 1988 (which amended RCRA by
adding Subtitle J), EPA established a two-
year demonstration program to track medical
waste. The program began June 22, 1989. and
ended June 22, 1991. Five States participated
in the program: Connecticut, New Jersey,
New York, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island.
The program has expired and only some of the
Federal recordkeeping regulations are
currently in effect.
Section 11008 of RCRA required EPA to
submit to Congress two interim reports and a
final report on medical waste management and
the demonstration program. The first and
second interim reports were submitted in May
1990 and December 1990. The first interim
report summarized information that was then
available from the tracking program and
outlined an agenda for additional research on
each of the 12 specific areas concerning
medical waste that were identified in the Act.
The second interim report provided a research
update and forecast on each of these subject
areas. The third and final report will
summarize all the information gathered,
evaluate the success of the demonstration
program, and outline options for managing
medical waste. The final report is currently
under Agency review and completion is
expected late in 1992. After EPA submits the
final report, Congress will review the results of
the two-year program and determine the most
appropriate course of action for medical waste
management
EMERGENCY PLANNING AND
COMMUNITY RIGHT-TO-KNOW
3. Threshold Determination Under
Section 313
A facility covered under §313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-
Know Act manufactures and repairs airplanes.
Prior to beginning any repair work, any fuel
remaining in the airplane's fuel tanks is
emptied by service personnel at the facility.
After the repairs are completed, the airplane is
refueled with fuel removed from the airplane's
fuel tanks and/or new fuel. Should the owner/
operator of the manufacturing and repair
facility consider the toxic chemicals present in
the fuel when making §313 threshold and
release calculations?
-------
February 1992
Hotline Questions and Answers
Yes. For purposes of §313 threshold and
release calculations, the toxic chemicals
present in the fuel would be considered to be
processed because they are being further
distributed in commerce. Thus, the toxic
chemicals present in the fuel are subject to the
25,000 Ib processing threshold.
4. Pesticides Toward TPQ Under
SARA Section 302
' " , - i -
SARA §302 requires owners and operators
of facilities that have extremely hazardous
substances (EHS's) present above the
threshold planning quantity (TPQ) to
participate in emergency planning (40 CFR
§355.30)., If a facility has a pesticide sprayed
on its grounds, without fast being stored at the
facility, must the amount ofEHS present in the
pesticide that has been applied be counted
towards t
Under SARA §302, an owner or operator
must identify any EHS's that are present at the
facility and, for each EHS, determine the
amount present If the amount present equals
or exceeds, t^E^i^Q^jhsn the facility is
subject to emergency planning requirements.
In this specific example, the facility would not
count the amount of EHS present in the soil
toward the'EHS's TPO because it is not
present in a contained structure. The
definition of facility (40 CFR.&55.20)
includes all buildings, equipment, structures,
and other stationary items that are located on a
single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites
and which are owned or operated by the same
person. This includes man-made structures in
which chemicals are purposefully placed or
removed through human means such that it
functions as a containment structure for
human use. Once it is applied, the residual
pesticide does not have to be applied toward
the threshold determination. It can be
considered no longer "present at the facility."
This does not, however, exempt the owner or
operator from emergency planning
requirements for EHS's present above their
TPQ at the facility, such as any EHS in a
pesticide that is brought on-site prior to
application, stored, or present anywhere else
at the facility.
5. Release Reporting of Process-
Generated Dusts
A facility subject to §313 of the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
processes items containing listed §313 toxic
chemicals. During processing, dusts are
released to air withing the facility and some of
this dust settles out within the facility (on
rafters.,, equipment, floors and in adjacent
rooms). If a processing threshold is met, how
would the facility report the releases of the
toxic chemicals present in the dust on the
Form R in section 5?
The facility must account for the amount
of the toxic chemical released to various
environmental media. Reporting of releases is
based on the entire calendar year. If during
the year an amount in dusts that settle out are
collected and disposed of, then this would be
reported as an amount disposed of on-site or
off-site in the appropriate section of Form R
(e.g., if the dusts are sent off-site for disposal
they would be reported in Part n, Section 6.2).
Any amount of toxic chemical in dusts that
remain airborne would be reported as a
fugitive release. Amounts released that settle
out on facility structures or equipment that are
not collected and disposed of should be
reported in Section 5.5.4 of Form R as a
release to land on-site.
