EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) that accept hazardous wastes by
truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline within the property boundary of the plant
are considered to be hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facil-
ities (TSDFs) and, as such, are subject to regulation under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The purposes of this manual are to:
(1) offer administrative, and technical recommendations to POTVs seeking to
preclude the receipt of hazardous wastes by these transportation methods; and
(2) discuss the responsibilities of POTVs choosing to accept hazardous wastes
by these transportation methods.
In accomplishing these dual purposes, the manual provides the statutory
and regulatory definitions of hazardous wastes. It also describes the RCRA
regulatory status of wastes that POTV operators typically may encounter. As
this section of the manual demonstrates, the RCRA regulatory status of a waste
is not necessarily straightforward. However, the manual provides some
guideposts which will assist the operator in making these determinations.
The manual also provides a discussion of legal, administrative, and
technical methods to preclude the receipt of hazardous wastes, many of which
are already in use. A description of potential liabilities- that POTVs may
incur as a result of accepting hazardous wastes is also provided. These
liabilities may present POTVs with an incentive for adopting programs directed
at precluding the receipt of hazardous wastes.
The manual also describes the responsibilities of POTVs that choose to
accept hazardous wastes by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline. This section
describes the special regulatory provisions, known as permit by rule require-
ments, that the RCRA program imposes upon POTVs accepting hazardous wastes by
the aforementioned transportation methods.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL
The manual is directed toward two types of facilities. First, guidance
is offered to POTWs that wish to preclude the entry of hazardous wastes into
their facilities and avoid regulation and liability under RCRA. Administra-
tive and technical recommendations for control of such wastes are provided,
many of which are already in use by POTWs. Second, the responsibilities of
POTVs that choose to accept hazardous wastes from truck, rail, or dedicated
pipeline are discussed, including the relevant regulatory provisions, strict
liability and corrective action requirements for releases, and recommended
procedures for waste acceptance and management.
Publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) that accept hazardous wastes by
truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline within the property boundary of the plant '
are considered to be hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facili-
ties (TSDFs) and are subject to regulation under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA). This manual provides guidance to POTW operators in
determining whether they are regulated by RCRA, describes the relevant
regulatory requirements they are subject to under RCRA, and explains methods
for avoiding the entry and disposal of hazardous wastes into their sewer
systems.
1.2 LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY OVERVIEW
RCRA establishes a comprehensive program for managing the disposal of
hazardous waste from the time it is generated until its ultimate disposal.
This "cradle to grave" management system regulates the hazardous waste
activities of generators, transporters, and TSDFs. TSDFs are subject to a
wide range of RCRA requirements, encompassing both administrative and techni-
cal requirements.
Under RCRA, mixtures of domestic sewage and other wastes that comingle in
the POTW's collection system prior to reaching the property boundary, includ-
ing those wastes that otherwise would be considered hazardous, are excluded
1-1
-------
from regulation under the domestic sevage exclusion (see Section 2.1.3 of this
guidance for further information regarding this exclusion). However, wastes
that are delivered directly to the POTV by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline
do not fall within the exclusion. Hazardous wastes received by these routes
may only be accepted by POTVs if the POTWs comply with applicable RCRA
requirements for TSDFs.
In promulgating standards for TSDFs under RCRA, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) recognized that POTVs already were subjected to
extensive Clean Water Act (CVA) requirements and therefore adopted a special
TSDF provision known as the "permit by rule" for POTVs accepting hazardous
wastes by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline. These permit by rule
requirements are far less comprehensive than those RCRA requirements that
apply to non-POTV TSDPs. Under the permit by rule regulation at 40 CFR
270.60(c), a POTV must 1) have a NPDES permit, 2) comply with that-permit,
3) obtain a RCRA ID number and comply with certain manifest and reporting
requirements under RCRA, 4) satisfy corrective action requirements, and
5) meet all Federal, State, and local pretreatment requirements. (For more
information on the procedures for obtaining a permit by rule, please refer to
EPA's Guidance for Implementing RCRA Permit By Rule Requirements at POTVs.)
1.3 ORGANIZATION'OF THE MANUAL
POTVs must ascertain if they are accepting hazardous wastes regulated by
RCRA to determine if they are subject to RCRA permit by rule conditions.
Chapter 2 provides the statutory and regulatory definition of "hazardous
waste" and describes examples of types of waste that, if received by POTVs,
will trigger the RCRA regulations. In addition, the regulatory status of
selected wastes that may be received by POTVs is discussed by way of example.
Chapter 3 provides guidance to POTVs that choose not to accept regulated
hazardous wastes. Control measures are presented that may be employed to
prevent the discharge of hazardous wastes inside the POTV's property boundary
by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline. These measures include ordinance
provisions, administrative control mechanisms, inspection and sampling
techniques to regulate known discharges, and surveillance and investigative
procedures to prevent unknown discharges. Chapter 3 also addresses the
< 1-2

-------
development and implementation of a vaste monitoring plan as part of the
hazardous vaste identification process. In Chapter 4, the responsibilities of
POTVs that choose to accept hazardous wastes by truck, rail, or dedicated
pipeline are discussed, including RCRA permit by rule requirements and the
potential liabilities associated with the receipt of hazardous wastes.

2. DESCRIPTION OF RCRA REGULATED WASTES
A POTV must ascertain if hazardous wastes are delivered to the property
boundary by truck, rail, dedicated pipeline*, or vessel (the remainder of this
document does not refer to "vessels" although the requirements and recommenda-
tions are also applicable to them) to determine if it is subject to the RCRA
permit by rule requirements. The receipt of hazardous wastes by these
transportation methods triggers the permit by rule requirements. Under RCRA,
the classification of a material as a hazardous waste is contingent upon
several factors, including both legal and technical considerations.
At a minimum, a POTV needs to determine whether the waste it received was
accompanied by a Hazardous Waste Manifest since, if it was, the waste was
certainly a hazardous waste. However, POTWs may want to ascertain whether
wastes not accompanied by a Manifest are also hazardous since POTWs may be
subject to RCRA responsibilities even if they unknowingly accept hazardous
wastes.
This chapter provides a description of key factors used by EPA.in
determining whether a material is a hazardous waste. It also provides several
examples of common wastes and discusses their regulatory status under RCRA as
of the time this manual was prepared. The determination of whether or not a
material is a hazardous waste is not a straightforward exercise, and several
procedural and technical steps must be taken by the POTW operator to make a
positive determination. State and EPA Regional hazardous waste program
officials can help POTWs in making these determinations by providing records
of known hazardous waste handlers. Recommended steps for determining whether
or not a material is a hazardous waste are provided in Chapter 3.
2.1 DEFINITION OF SOLID WASTE
The definition of "solid waste" is central to the determination of
whether or not a waste is hazardous. Under RCRA, hazardous wastes are a
*A dedicated pipeline refers to a separate pipeline that is used to carry
hazardous wastes directly to a POTW's property boundary without prior mixing
with domestic sewage.
2-1
-------
subset of solid wastes. Therefore, a material must be considered a solid
waste to be defined as a hazardous waste. The term "solid waste" includes
essentially all physical forms of waste (i.e., solids, liquids, semisolids, or
contained gaseous substances), and is therefore broader than what normally is
considered to be "solid."
2.1.1 Definition of Solid Waste
Section 1004(27) of RCRA defines "solid waste" to mean
. . . any garbage, refuse, sludge from a waste treatment
plant, water supply treatment plant, or air pollution
control facility and other discarded material, including
solid, liquid, semisolid, or contained gaseous materials
resulting from industrial, commercial, mining, and agri-
cultural operations, and from community activities . . .
does not include solid or dissolved material in domestic
sewage, or solid or dissolved materials in irrigation
return flows or industrial discharges which are point
sources subject to permits under Section 402 of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (86 Stat.
880), or source, special nuclear, or byproduct material as
defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (68
Stat. 923).
Under RCRA, if a business generates any material that is discarded or
disposed of, it must, determine if that material is a "solid waste" according
to the regulatory definition. According to the regulatory definition, "solid
waste" is any material that is abandoned or disposed of, burned or
incinerated, or stored, treated, or accumulated before or in lieu of these
actions.
2.1.2 Domestic Sewage Exclusion
Some materials, however, are NOT considered to be solid wastes under
RCRA, including domestic sewage or any mixture of domestic sewage and other
wastes that pass through a sewer system to a POTW. While this exclusion,
known as the domestic sewage exclusion, extends to most wastes that reach
POTWs, IT DOES NOT exempt wastes received within the POTW's property boundary
by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline.
2-2
-------
2.2 DEFINITION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
As defined in Section 1004(5) of RCRA, "the term 'hazardous waste' means
a solid waste, or combination of solid wastes, which because of its quantity,
concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may —
(A) cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an
increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible,
illness; or
(B) pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or
the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or
disposed of, or otherwise managed."
Section 3001 of RCRA directs EPA to identify or list those solid wastes
that are considered hazardous for regulatory purposes. These regulations are
codified in 40 CFR Part 261. All solid waste generators must determine if any
of their waste is hazardous. If their waste is hazardous, they must notify
EPA or the State of that fact (see Section 4.4.1 of this guidance for details
on notification).
There are four steps for determining whether a solid waste is regulated
as a hazardous waste under Federal law:
• First, determine if the waste is exempted from regulation as a solid
or a hazardous waste (see, for example, Section 2.3.1.1).
• Second, check to see if it is listed as a hazardous waste in Subpart D
of 40 CFR 261. Listed wastes are regulated as hazardous wastes unless
they have been specifically delisted (see Section 2.2.2).
• If the waste has not been listed as a hazardous waste, determine if it
exhibits, on analysis, any of the characteristics of a hazardous
waste, cited in Subpart C of 40 CFR 261 (see Section 2.2.1).
• Last, determine if the waste is a mixture. A mixture of a listed
waste and a nonhazardous solid waste is considered hazardous unless it
has been specifically excluded under 40 CFR Part 261.3. A mixture of
a characteristic waste and a nonhazardous solid waste is only consid-
ered hazardous if it still exhibits one or more of the hazardous waste
characteristics.

-------
Figure 2-1 presents a flow chart of the hazardous vaste identification
process. The following discussion provides a general overview of this
process. More information on this process is provided in 40 CFR Part 261.
Note, however, that the definition of hazardous waste provided here is the
Federal definition. States may have more stringent or different definitions
of hazardous waste. See Section 2.3.1.11.
The generator is responsible for determining whether a solid waste is
hazardous. A generator must review EFA's hazardous waste listings to deter-
mine if the solid waste is a listed hazardous waste. If the waste is not
listed, the generator either must test his solid waste using standard methods
(specified in 40 CFR Part 261) or have sufficient knowledge about his waste to
assess whether it exhibits any of the hazardous waste characteristics. The
tests must be run on representative samples to obtain results that adequately
characterize the nature of the waste. If the waste exhibits a hazardous waste
characteristic, then it is hazardous and must be handled accordingly.
2.2.1 Characteristic Wastes
Any solid waste that exhibits one or more of the hazardous waste charac-
teristics is classified as a hazardous waste under RCRA. For example, if a
sewage sludge exhibited any one of the four characteristics below it would be
considered a hazardous waste:
• Ignitability
• Corrosivity
• Reactivity
• EP Toxicity.
EPA used two criteria in selecting these characteristics as indicators of
hazardous waste. The first criterion was that the characteristics be capable
of being defined in terms of physical, chemical, or other properties that
cause the waste to meet the definition of hazardous waste in the Act (see
pages 2-2 and 2-3). The second criterion was that the properties defining the
characteristics be measurable by standardized, available testing protocols.
The second criterion was adopted because the primary responsibility for

-------
determining whether a solid waste exhibits any of the characteristics rests
with the generators. EPA was concerned that unless generators were provided
with widely available and uncomplicated methods for determining whether their
wastes exhibited the characteristics, the identification system would prove
unworkable.
As testing protocols become generally acceptable and EPA's confidence in
setting minimum thresholds increases, more characteristics will be added. The
Hazardous and Solid Vaste Amendments (HSVA) of 1984 require that the Adminis-
trator promulgate regulations identifying additional characteristics. Section
2.2.1.4 of this guidance describes how EPA plans to expand the coverage of one
of the characteristic tests.
The properties of wastes exhibiting any or all of the existing character-
istics are defined in 40 CFR Parts 261.20-261.24, and are described briefly
below.
2.2.1.1 Ignitability
A solid waste that exhibits any pf the following properties is considered
hazardous due to its ignitability:
• A liquid, except aqueous solutions containing less than 24 percent
alcohol, that has a flashpoint less than 60°C (140°F)
• A nonliquid capable, under normal conditions, of spontaneous and
sustained combustion
• An ignitable, compressed gas per Department of Transportation (DOT)
regulations
• An oxidizer per DOT regulations (40 CFR Part 261.21).
EPA's objective in selecting ignitability as a hazardous waste character-
istic was to identify wastes capable of causing fires during routine trans-
portation, storage, and disposal and/or exacerbating a fire once started. EPA
recognized that such fires pose a particular danger to transportation and
disposal personnel and also threaten the general public by generating toxic
fumes and transporting toxic particulates to the surrounding area. Solid
2-6
-------
wastes exhibiting the igndlability characteristic are assigned EPA Hazardous
Vaste Number D001.
2.2.1.2 Corrosivity
A solid vaste that exhibits any of the following properties is considered
hazardous due to its corrosivity (40 CFR Part 261.22):
• An aqueous material with pH less than or equal to 2 or greater than or
equal to 12.5
• A liquid that corrodes steel at a rate greater than 1/4 inch per year
at a temperature of 55"C (130°F).
EPA selected pH as a corrosivity indicator because wastes exhibiting
low or high pH can: result in harm to human tissue, promote the migration of
toxicants from other wastes, react dangerously with other waste, and cause
harm to aquatic life. EPA selected the second indicator of corrosivity
because wastes capable of corroding metal can escape from the containers in
which they are segregated, thus freeing other wastes to the environment.
Solid wastes exhibiting the corrosivity characteristics are assigned EPA
Hazardous Vaste Number D002.
2.2.1.3 Reactivity
A solid waste that exhibits any of the following properties is considered
hazardous due to its reactivity (40 CFR Part 261.23):
• Normally unstable and reacts violently without detonating
• Reacts violently with water
• Forms a potentially explosive mixture with water
• Generates toxic gases, vapors, or fumes when mixed with water
• Contains cyanide or sulfide and generates toxic gases, vapors, or
fumes at a pH between 2 and 12.5
• Capable of detonation if heated under confinement or subjected to
strong initiating source
• Capable of detonation at standard temperature and pressure
• Listed by DOT as a Class A or B explosive.
2-7
-------
As these properties imply, reactivity is largely defined on a qualitative
rather than quantitative basis. Reactivity tests yielding quantitative
results are difficult to administer and interpret. Nonetheless, reactivity
can pose a hazard at any stage of the waste management cycle. Thus, despite
the fact that the characteristic of reactivity cannot be easily measured, EPA
promulgated reactivity as a hazardous waste characteristic. EPA reasoned that
operators, out of concern for their facilities, generally are aware that a
waste is reactive. Furthermore, reactive wastes rarely are generated from
nonreactive feedstocks. Examples of reactive wastes include water from
trinitrotoluene (TNT) operations. Solid wastes exhibiting the reactivity
characteristic are assigned EPA Hazardous Vaste Number D003.
2.2.1.A EP Toxicity
The term EP toxicity refers to a characteristic of a waste (40 CFR
Part 261.24), as well as a test for that characteristic. The extraction
procedure (EP) test is designed to identify wastes likely to leach hazardous
concentrations of particular toxic constituents into the ground water as a
result of improper management.
The contamination of ground water through the leaching of waste contami-
nants from land disposed wastes is one of the most prevalent pathways by which
toxic waste constituents migrate to the environment. The legislative history
of RCRA and HSVA indicates that ground water contamination is one of Congress'
primary areas of concern with regard to hazardous waste management. Under the
EP test procedure, constituents are extracted from the waste in a manner
designed to simulate the leaching action that occurs in sanitary landfills.
This extract then is analyzed to determine whether it possesses any of the
toxic contaminants identified in the National Interim Primary Drinking Water
Standards (NIPDVS). If the extract contains any of the contaminants in
concentrations 100 times greater than that specified in the NIPDVS, the waste
is considered to be hazardous. The contaminants of concern, which include
eight metals and six herbicides/pesticides, are listed in Table 2-1. Solid
wastes exhibiting the EP toxic characteristic are assigned EPA Hazardous Waste
Numbers D004 to D017.

Like other test procedures employed to identify hazardous character-
istics, the EP test is intended to serve as a quick means of identifying
wastes that are capable of posing a substantial present or potential hazard to
human health and the environment when improperly managed. Consequently, in
devising the test, EPA necessarily had to make certain assumptions about
improper management processes to which toxic wastes capable of contaminating
ground water are likely to be subjected. For purposes of modeling EP toxicity,
EPA assumed co-disposal of toxic wastes in an actively decomposing municipal
landfill overlying a ground water aquifer. This is a relatively conservative
assumption, given that municipal landfills are characterized by rapidly
decomposing wastes, which tends to generate more aggressive leaching than can
be found in other landfills.
As part of BSVA, EPA is required to reconsider the EP toxicity test with
respect to two perceived shortcomings. The first shortcoming is the limited
number of contaminants addressed by the EP toxicity test (see Table 2-1). The
second shortcoming concerns the fact that the existing EP test was optimized
to evaluate the leaching of elemental rather than organic constituents. On
June 13, 1986, EPA published a notice in the Federal Register (51 FR 21648)
which proposed the following amendments to the EP toxicity characteristic:
expanding the characteristic to include 38 additional compounds;, applying
compound specific dilution/attenuating factors (as opposed to a constant
dilution factor of 100 to establish acceptable threshold levels for each
contaminant); and introducing a second leaching procedure, known as the
Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) to address the mobility of
both organic and inorganic compounds. EPA intends to replace the EP toxicity
test with the TCLP test.
2.2.2 Listed Hazardous Waste
A waste is regulated and must be managed as a hazardous waste if it is
listed in 40 CFR Parts 261.31-261.33 (see Appendix A-l). If a waste appears
on any of these lists, it is a regulated hazardous waste, regardless of
whether or not it displays the hazardous waste characteristics described
above. Hazardous wastes may be listed as "toxic," "acutely hazardous," or
because they exhibit one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics. A
brief explanation of each of these terms is provided below.
2-10
-------
Solid wastes are listed as toxic hazardous wastes (hazard code 'T') if
they contain a toxic constituent from Appendix VIII and pose a substantial or
potential threat to human health and the environment upon consideration of
multiple factors that appear in §261.11(a)(3). Appendix VIII constituents,
known as "hazardous constituents," are pollutants which have toxic, carcino-
genic, mutagenic, or teratogenic effects on humans or other life forms.
(Appendix VIII appears as Appendix A-2 of this document). The presence of any
of these constituents in the waste is presumed to be sufficient to list the
waste unless EPA concludes that the waste is not hazardous, after considera-
tion of the following factors: the type of toxic threat posed; the concentra-
tions of the constituents in the waste; the migration, persistence, and
degradation potential of the constituents; the degree to which the constitu-
ents bioaccumulate in ecosystems; the plausible types of improper management
to which the waste could be subjected; the quantities of waste generated; and
other factors, including damage incidents involving wastes containing the
constituents and actions taken by other governmental agencies with respect to
the waste or its toxic constituents.
Acutely hazardous wastes ('R')» in contrast, are listed because they may
"cause or significantly contribute to an increase in serious, irreversible, or
incapacitating reversible, illness" even vhen managed properly (emphasis
added).
Solid wastes may also be listed as hazardous wastes if they exhibit one
or more of the hazardous waste characeristics. Any waste may be listed as EP
toxic ('E') if it contains certain concentrations of heavy metals or pesti-
cides after performing the Extraction Procedure (EP) test prescribed in
§261-24. Wastes may also be listed for exhibiting the hazardous character-
istics of ignitability ('!')» corrosivity ('C') or reactivity ('R').
Constituent(s) which caused EPA to list a waste as EP toxic ('E') or
toxic ('T'). appear in Appendix VII of Part 261 of the the RCRA regulations.
Appendix VII appears as Appendix A-3 of this document. There is a significant
overlap between the CVA priority pollutant list and the Appendix VIII list of
hazardous constituents. Many of the priority pollutants have been used as a
basis for listing wastes and thus appear in Appendix VII as well.
2-11
-------
The listed wastes are subcategorized into four separate categories:
• Hazardous vastes from nonspecific sources — These wastes are gen-
erated by activities that are not specific to a particular industry or
process. For example, spent degreasing solvents are listed as
hazardous wastes. Vastes listed in this manner appear on the "F" list
in Appendix A-l.
• Hazardous wastes from specific sources — These include wastes
generated by a specific product process by a particular industry, such
as emission control dust/sludge from secondary lead smelting (K069).
They appear on the "K" list in Appendix A-l.
• Acutely hazardous commercial chemical products, off-specification
species, container residues, and spill residues — These wastes are
acutely hazardous and include discarded chemical products manufactured
or formulated for commercial or manufacturing use, and which consist
of the commercially pure grade of the chemical, any technical grades
of the chemical that are produced or marketed, and all formulations in
which the chemical is the sole active ingredient. These wastes were
listed to account for all acutely toxic chemical products that are
sometimes thrown away in pure or diluted form. Reasons for discarding
these materials might be that the materials do not meet required
specifications, inventories have been changed, or the product line has
been altered. Vastes listed in this manner appear on the "P" list in
Appendix A-l.
• Toxic commercial chemical products, of^specification species,
container residues, and spill residues — Substances may be listed as
hazardous because they are chronically toxic or they exhibit one or
more of the characteristics of hazardous waste (ignitability, cor-
rosivity, reactivity, or EP toxicity). These wastes include chemical
products manufactured or formulated for commercial or manufacturing
use, and which consist of the commercially pure grade of the chemical,
any technical grades of the chemical that are produced or marketed,
and all formulations in which the chemical is the sole active ingred-
ient. Vastes listed in this manner appear on the "U" list in Appendix
A-l.
A generator who handles listed wastes may petition the Administrator to
have his waste "delisted." The petitioner must demonstrate to EPA that his
waste is not hazardous. To demonstrate this, the generator must provide
sampling and analytical data and detailed information on his waste management
procedures. Further information on delisting can be found in Guidance
Petitions to Delist Hazardous Vastes (EPA/530-SV-85-003, April, 1985).
2-12
-------
If a waste does not appear on any of these lists, then the generator must
determine whether his solid waste exhibits any of the hazardous waste charac-
teristics, as described in Section 2.2.1.
2.2.3 Mixture Rule
One of the questions that EPA faced when setting conditions for identify-
ing hazardous wastes was how to classify a waste mixture that was composed of
both a listed hazardous waste and a nonhazardous solid waste. EPA decided
that any waste mixture containing a listed waste would be considered hazard-
ous, regardless of the proportion of the listed waste contained in the
mixture. Consequently, if a POTV accepts a listed hazardous waste by truck,
rail, or dedicated pipeline, the resulting mixture of sludge and listed
hazardous waste is considered hazardous under RCRA.
Vithout the mixture rule, generators could evade Subtitle C requirements
simply by comingling listed wastes with nonhazardous solid wastes. Most of
these waste mixtures would not be captured by the four Subtitle C character-
istics because they would contain wastes that were listed for reasons other
than exhibiting the characteristics (e.g., they are acutely toxic). There
are, however, two exceptions to the mixture rule:
• If an industrial wastewater discharge subject to regulation by the CVA
is mixed with low concentrations of a listed waste, as specified in 40
CFR Section 261.3(a)(2)(iv), the resultant mixture of specified
pollutants is not considered a listed hazardous waste at certain
concentrations. For example, if carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloro-
ethylene and/or trichloroethylene are mixed with an industrial waste
subject to the pretreatment regulations (e.g., an electroplating
wastewater), the mixture is not subject to the RCRA regulations
provided that the maximum total usage of these solvents divided by the
average weekly flow of wastewater into the headworks of the facility's
pretreatment system does not exceed 1 part per million (40 CFR Part
261.3(a)(2)(iv)(A)). However, if such a mixture exhibits one of the
characteristics, it is deemed hazardous.
*• Mixtures of nonhazardous wastes and listed wastes that are listed
solely for exhibiting a hazardous waste characteristic are not
considered hazardous if the mixture no longer exhibits any character-
istics. Only four wastes on the 'F' and 'K' lists are listed purely
due to the fact that they exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic.
They are: spent nonhalogenated solvents exhibiting the ignilability

. ;! characteristic (F003); and three separate vastestreams from the
•>; explosives industry that exhibit reactivity (K044, K045, and K047).
;' Such exceptions may be subject to change.
2.3 RCRA REGULATORY STATUS OF SELECTED WASTES THAT MAY BE RECEIVED BY POTWS
As can be seen from the above definitions of solid and hazardous wastes,
determining whether or not a waste is subject to RCRA requirements is not
always a straightforward exercise. This section provides examples of wastes
that POTV operators typically may encounter and discusses their regulatory
. status under RCRA. In most cases, determination that a waste is hazardous
•;: requires the operator to know: (1) the source of the waste, and/or (2) the
•; waste's composition and characteristics. As illustrated in Table 2-2, the
wastes described below may or may not be hazardous. The following discussion
provides additional details on how an operator may determine the status of
wastes received for treatment by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline. However,
in most cases, the recommended controls discussed in Section 3 must be
implemented to make an informed decision.
i
2.3.1 Selected Wastes
2.3.1.1 Septage Wastes
Septage wastes delivered to FOTVs by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline
are regulated as solid wastes under RCRA. However, septage wastes derived
from household sources are specifically excluded from regulation as hazardous
.'. wastes. Household wastes include materials (i.e., garbage, trash, and
'_. sanitary wastes in septic tanks) derived from households including single and
.;: multiple residences, hotels and motels, bunk houses, ranger stations, crew
\ quarters, camp grounds, picnic grounds, and day-use recreation areas. On the
'- other hand, septage wastes derived from nonhousehold sources, such as indus-
: trial septic tanks, are regulated like any other solid waste under RCRA
provisions and may meet the definition of hazardous waste. In addition,
household wastes mixed with hazardous waste may meet the definition of
hazardous waste via the mixture rule, as described in Section 2.2.3.
In managing septage wastes, a POTW should identify the possible sources
of septage wastes (see discussion on legal and administrative procedures in

Chapter 3). Septage wastes derived exclusively from household sources will
not trigger the POTV permit by rule requirements even if the septic wastes
include a listed hazardous waste or exhibit a RCRA hazardous characteristic.
When septage wastes are derived wholly or in part from nonhousehold sources,
such as industrial septic tanks, the wastes are regulated as any other solid
wastes, and may be deemed hazardous if the septage has been contaminated with
listed or characteristic wastes. Accordingly, a POTW should exercise great
care in the management of septage wastes received by truck, rail, or dedicated
pipeline that it knows or suspects may originate from industrial sources.
2.3.1.2 Metal Finishing Wastes
Many metal finishing wastes, especially those wastes containing cyanide,
are regulated as listed hazardous wastes under RCRA. Examples of these wastes
include spent cyanide plating bath solutions, bottom sludges containing
cyanide, and wastewater treatment sludges from electroplating operations.
Table 2-3 is a partial listing of hazardous wastes that may be found in
electroplating operations. Other listed wastes may appear in integrated
facilities. In addition, some nonlisted metal finishing wastestreams.(e.g.,
rinse waters) may qualify as characteristic hazardous wastes due to the
presence of. metal constituent concentrations at levels exceeding the criteria
for the EP toxicity characteristic. Chapter 3 describes procedures for making
determinations as to whether wastes received from metal finishers may be
hazardous.
Under the Clean Water Act's general pretreatment program regulations (40
CFR Part 403), metal finishing wastes sent directly to a POTW by truck, rail,
or dedicated pipeline also must meet categorical pretreatment standards (and
any local limits) for the metal finishing industrial category and prohibited
discharge standards. In view of the typical metal concentrations found in
metal finishing wastes, this requirement would imply pretreatment of the waste
prior to its delivery to the POTW. Where a metal finishing waste is diluted
or mixed with other wastes at the manufacturing facility, a POTW would apply
the combined wastestream formula (as described in 40 CFR Part 403.6) to
determine appropriate limits for discharge of the wastewater. Pretreating
listed hazardous wastes (e.g., spent cyanide plating bath solutions) will not

affect their status as hazardous wastes. However, pretreating characteristic
wastes, such as highly concentrated metal laden rinse waters, may work to
improve the quality of the wastewater to a degree where it no longer displays
the relevant characteristic. In this case, the wastewater is no longer
hazardous.
2.3.1.3 Spent Solvents
Spent solvents are regulated as listed hazardous wastes under RCRA.
Accordingly, hauled wastes containing spent solvents must be handled as
hazardous wastes. Spent solvent listings presently encompass 30 organic
compounds (see Table 2-4). Several of these solvents are used widely by
manufacturing facilities for degreasing metal parts. Discharge of spent
solvents from certain industrial sources, such as electroplating operations,
also may be regulated under categorical pretreatment standards for parameters
such as total toxic organics. See Table 2-4 for the spent solvents listed as
hazardous wastes.
2.3.1.4 Pickle Liquor
Most recycled materials are considered solid wastes by EPA, although some
of these materials are exempted from the definition of hazardous waste. This
distinction depends on both the recycling activity and the nature of the
recycled material. An example of a waste that may be sent to a POTV for
recycling is spent pickle liquor.
Spent pickle liquor (a metal laden acid bath) from iron and steel
industry finishing operations is regulated as a listed hazardous waste. Spent
pickle liquor from industrial operations other than the iron and steel
industry is not a listed hazardous waste. However, these pickle liquors may
be hazardous if they exhibit one or more of the hazardous waste characteris-
tics.
Where utilized as a wastewater conditioner (i.e., phosphorus removal,
sludge conditioner) in a POTtf, spent pickle liquor can be considered a
recycled material exempt from RCRA regulation. Under RCRA provisions,

-------
materials are not solid wastes vhen they can be shown to be recycled by being
employed in a particular function or applied as an effective substitute for a
commercial product. Accordingly, permit by rule requirements will not apply
to truck, rail, and dedicated pipeline discharges consisting solely of spent
pickle liquor from iron and steel facilities used for wastewater treatment at
a POTV. However, spent pickle liquor from iron and steel facilities received
at POTVs would be considered hazardous if the material was not being applied
as a part of the wastewater treatment operation.
2.3.1.5 Leachate, Contaminated Ground Water, and Impoundment Vastes
Facilities that treat, store, or dispose of RCRA regulated hazardous
wastes may generate hazardous waste residuals as a result of normal operations
or due to unusual situations (e.g., facility closure requirements). Examples
of such residuals are leachates, contaminated ground water, and surface
impoundment wastes. The regulatory status of these aqueous waste residuals is
determined by the types of waste handled at the TSDF generating the residual
wastewater. Vhen the wastewater is derived from the treatment, storage, or
disposal of a listed waste at a RCRA TSDF, the residual waste also is regu-
lated as a listed hazardous waste. However, where a mixture of ground water
and listed leachate waste can be rendered non-hazardous by treating the
mixture to remove the leachate, the ground water is not considered a listed
hazardous waste. Where the waste originates from the treatment, storage, or
disposal of a characteristic waste at a RCRA TSDF, the residual is hazardous
only it it exhibits one of the hazardous waste characteristics. In accordance
with RCRA requirements, the generator is responsible for determining whether a
solid waste is hazardous. Thus, if a POTW receives, and plans to accept, an
unmanifested aqueous waste from a RCRA TSDF, a prudent approach would be to
verify that it is not hazardous by obtaining accurate information concerning
the types of solid and hazardous wastes managed at the TSDF generating the
wastes. The POTW operator also may want to conduct independent verification
by sampling and inspections (see Section 3.3).
The regulatory status of residual waste from solid waste management
facilities, such as sanitary landfills, also is determined by the types of
waste managed at the facility. Under the RCRA exclusion for household wastes,
2-20
-------
household vastes and residuals resulting from the treatment, storage, and
disposal of household waste are exempt from regulation as hazardous waste.
Accordingly) where a leachate or other residual wastewater originates from a
solid waste management facility managing only household wastes, the wastewater
is exempt from regulation as hazardous waste. Where the facility also accepts
nonhousehold wastes such as industrial or commercial wastes, the residual
wastewater may be deemed hazardous if it exhibits any characteristic of a.
hazardous waste. Consequently, POTVs may want to evaluate whether leachate
and other wastewaters from solid waste management facilities (known or
believed to be managing industrial or commercial wastes) test for possible
hazardous characteristics, especially EP toxicity. See Section 3.3 for
recommended methods for determining testing requirements.
2.3.1.6 Superfund Vaste
Cleanup of Superfund sites by Federal, State, and private parties
frequently results in the generation of aqueous wastes such as leachate,
contaminated ground water, impoundment wastes, and other wastewaters. Where
delivered to a POTW by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline, some Superfund
wastes may be hazardous as defined by RCRA, and therefore may trigger permit
by rule requirements for the POTW managing the waste. Substances found most
often at Superfund sites include: trichloroethylene, lead, toluene, benzene,
PCBs, and chloroform. Wastes from Superfund sites can contain many other
substances as well, depending on site-specific characteristics. Before
accepting wastes from Superfund sites, POTW operators should ascertain from
the EPA/State whether the waste is hazardous and should ensure that any
'necessary local pretreatment requirements are established and will be met in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 403.
2.3.1.7 Small Quantity Generator Waste
It is estimated that 630,000 facilities in the Nation generate less than
1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month. Historically, these small
quantity generators (SQGs) have been subject to less stringent RCRA disposal
requirements than other generators. However, regulations recently promulgated
by EPA have significantly tightened these SQG requirements. Nevertheless,
2-21
-------
POTVs should be aware that receiving some wastes that might otherwise trigger
the RCRA permit by rule requirements for the POTW will not trigger those
requirements if the waste originated exclusively with certain SQGs.
Uhen EPA originally promulgated the SQG regulations in May 1980, the
exclusion level was set at 1,000 kilograms per month of hazardous waste with
the understanding that EPA later would expand the SQG requirements to include
facilities generating between 100 and 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per
month. Pursuant to a mandate in the 1984 HSVA amendments to review and
establish regulations for SQGs that generate 100-1,000 kilograms per month,
EPA promulgated a second set of regulations, effective September 22, 1986, to
strengthen controls on the management of SQG wastes.
For regulatory purposes, three classes of SQGs have been distinguished:
• Generators of less than 1 kilogram per month of acutely hazardous
waste ('H' hazard code wastes)
• Generators of less than 100 kilograms per month of nonacutely hazard-
ous wastes ('T' hazard code wastes)
• Generators of between 100 and 1,000 kilograms per month of nonacutely
hazardous wastes ('T' hazard code wastes).
The first two categories of SQGs are conditionally exempt SQG's, subject to
the following minimal hazardous waste disposal requirements: hazardous waste
determination, storage restrictions, and disposal at a state-approved solid
waste management or recycling facility. Under RCRA permitting regulations,
any facility that treats, stores, or disposes of these conditionally exempt
SQG wastes (i.e., less than 1 kilogram per month acutely hazardous wastes or
100 kilograms per month nonacutely hazardous waste) is not required to obtain
a RCRA permit. Accordingly, those conditionally exempt SQG wastes will not
trigger POTW permit by rule requirements.
The third category of SQGs generate between 100 and 1,000 kilograms per
month of nonacutely hazardous waste. They must comply with more comprehensive
generator requirements, including hazardous waste determination, notification,
2-22
-------
onsite storage restrictions, disposal at a Subtitle C facility, compliance
with DOT requirements, and manifesting. Under RCRA permitting regulations,
facilities managing these SQG wastes (i.e., betveen 100 and 1,000 kilograms
per month of nonacutely hazardous waste) must obtain a RCRA TSDF permit.
Consequently, such SQG wastes delivered to a POTV by truck, rail, or dedicated
pipeline will trigger POTV permit by rule requirements. POTWs that receive
these SQG wastes by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline should obtain accurate
information on the types and quantities of hazardous wastes generated by these
facilities. See Table 2-5 for a list of common SQGs generating hazardous
wastes in this volume category.
A transporter may conduct "milk runs'1 of conditionally exempt SQG wastes
from several generators, none of whom contribute enough waste to trigger
comprehensive RCRA requirements, including the requirement that the waste be
treated, stored, or disposed of at a RCRA TSDF. If a POTV receives such
waste, even if the total amounts to greater than 1,000 kilograms, permit by
rule requirements would not be triggered. (Nevertheless, the POTV should take
precautions to ensure that acceptance of such wastes by the POTV will not
cause pass through or interference under the Clean Water Act's pretreatment
program.)
2.3.1.8 Used Oil
As defined by RCRA statutory provisions, used oil is any oil that has
been refined from crude oil, used and, as a result of such use, contaminated
by physical or chemical impurities. Used oils include: (1) spent automotive
lubricating oils (including car and truck engine oil), transmission fluid,
brake fluid, and off-road engine oil; (2) spent industrial oils, including
compressor, turbine, and cleaning oils, hydraulic oils, metal working oils,
gear oils, electrical oils, refrigerator oils, and railroad drainage; and
(3) spent industrial process oils. Under current RCRA provisions, used oils
intended for recycling, including those exhibiting any hazardous waste
characteristic, are exempt from RCRA hazardous waste generator, transporter,
treatment, storage, and disposal regulations. EPA has decided not to list

-------
used oil that is intended to be recycled. Unless EPA decides to list used oil
as a hazardous waste, only used oils that exhibit a hazardous waste character-
istic and are intended for disposal are considered hazardous wastes.
Used oils are frequently contaminated with metals (e.g., lead, arsenic,
cadmium, chromium), solvents (e.g., trichloroethylene 1,1,1-trichloroethane,
tetrachloroethylene), and other hazardous constituents (e.g., naphthalene,
toluene, phenol) that are naturally occurring in petroleum-derived and
synthetic oils.
Some generators have been known to mix hazardous wastes with used.oils to
disguise the status of the waste. As described in Section 2,2.3, mixtures of
hazardous and nonhazardous wastes may qualify as hazardous wastes. Thus,
operators should be sure to determine the source of used oils before receiving
them for storage, treatment, or disposal. See Chapter 3 for further informa-
x
tion on source identification and control.
2.3.1.9 Spill Residues (Including Transportation Spills)
Cleanup residues resulting from spills of hazardous wastes handled by
generators, transporters, or TSDFs may be deemed hazardous wastes under RCRA.
In the case of a listed hazardous waste that is spilled, spill residues will
be considered listed hazardous wastes unless specifically delisted by EPA.
In the case of a characteristic hazardous waste, a spill residue will only be
hazardous if it continues to exhibit a characteristic of a hazardous waste.
RCRA hazardous waste regulations also may apply to cleanup residues resulting
from the spill on land or water of any of approximately 400 commercial
chemical products or manufacturing chemical intermediates identified in RCRA
regulations. Accordingly, spill residues from truck, rail, pipeline, barge,
or onsite industrial accidents involving raw materials may be regulated as
listed hazardous wastes depending on the chemical involved in the accident
(40 CFR Part 261.33). Where delivered to a POTV by truck, rail, or dedicated
pipeline, these spill residues, including contaminated wastewaters, may
trigger POTV permit by rule requirements.
2-25
-------
2.3.1.10 PCB Wastes
PCB wastes are not regulated under existing RCRA hazardous waste re-
gulations. Instead, these wastes are regulated under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) and 40 CFR Part 761, which establishes storage and disposal
restrictions on materials containing PCBs at concentrations greater than or
equal to 50 parts per million (ppm). Consequently, unless a PCB-laden waste
can be considered hazardous due to some attribute other than the presence of
PCBs (e.g., presence of solvents), the waste will not trigger RCRA permitting
provisions.
2.3.1.11 State Hazardous Wastes
Some States regulate wastes as hazardous under State hazardous waste laws
that are not regarded as hazardous wastes under Federal RCRA regulations.
For example, 16 States consider PCBs as hazardous wastes, 12 States list used
oil as hazardous, and others list specific contaminants or have additional
characteristic tests. Even where delivered to a POTV by truck, rail, or
dedicated pipeline, these wastes do not trigger Federal POTV permit by rule
provisions since they are not considered to be hazardous under Federal law.
Nonetheless, POTV acceptance of these wastes may trigger individual State
hazardous waste permit requirements or analogous permit by rule provisions
under State law.

3. RESPONSIBILITIES OF POTWs CHOOSING NOT TO ACCEPT HAZARDOUS WASTE
If a POTV accepts hazardous wastes via truck, rail, or dedicated pipe-
line, it will be required to comply with RCRA permit by rule provisions.
Chapter 4 discusses the responsibilities of POTVs that receive hazardous
wastes by these transportation methods. This chapter describes steps POTVs
may undertake to preclude acceptance of RCRA regulated wastes.
The most direct method of precluding the receipt of hazardous waste by
truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline is to prohibit the delivery of any wastes
via these methods and to enforce such a prohibition. This may not be a
desirable or feasible approach, however, especially if a POTV services a
community where septage wastes are generated.
A second way POTVs may preclude the delivery of hazardous wastes is by
specifically prohibiting the discharge of hauled industrial wastes, thus
limiting the receipt of hauled waste to only household wastes. As discussed
in Chapter 2, household wastes are specifically exempted from the definition
of hazardous waste. However, even under these circumstances, POTVs run the
risk of receiving hazardous wastes as unscrupulous septage haulers may mix
hazardous and household wastes.
POTVs that agree to accept hauled wastes from industrial users face
additional challenges in precluding the receipt of hazardous wastes, given
that some industrial wastes may be considered hazardous. Should POTVs accept
hauled industrial wastes, they must ensure that the wastes meet all applicable
pretreatment standards (e.g., local limits, prohibited standards, categorical
standards) before discharge is allowed. Section 4.3 of this guidance dis-
cusses the responsibilities of POTVs for ensuring that hauled wastes comply
with pretreatment program requirements and standards.
This chapter discusses how a POTV can develop and implement both regula-
tory and administrative mechanisms to preclude the discharge of hazardous
wastes to its treatment plant via truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline.
3-1
-------
Further, this chapter discusses hov to develop and implement a vaste moni-
toring plan that a POTV can use to characterize vastes received by truck,
rail, or dedicated pipeline.
3.1 DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL LIABILITIES FOR POTVS ACCEPTING HAZARDOUS WASTE
The receipt of hazardous vastes imposes certain responsibilities on a
facility. Even if a POTV chooses not to accept hazardous vastes discharged
via truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline, the POTV is not necessarily absolved
from potential RCRA and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (CERCLA), otherwise knovn as "Superfund," liabilities.
POTVs may be subject to these liabilities vhether or not they are avare of the
receipt of hazardous vastes. POTVs also may be liable under RCRA and CERCLA
for any past releases of hazardous vastes, hazardous constituents, or hazard-
ous substances to the environment. The definition of "release" under CERCLA
is extremely broad and may encompass any "spilling, leaking, pouring, emit-
ting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or
disposing into the environment ..." The RCRA definition of release for the
RCRA corrective action program (see Section 4.5) is at least as broad as the
CERCLA definition.
Receiving hazardous vastes by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline without
a RCRA permit or, in a POTV's case, vithout regard to permit by rule condi-
tions, can lead to enforcement action under RCRA. If a POTV receives hazard-
ous vaste vithout complying vith the permit by rule conditions, it may be
subject to both criminal and civil penalties. For example, violations of RCRA
requirements can result in fines of up to $25,000 per day per violation.
POTVs must realize that enforcement actions against noncompliant POTVs can be
taken vhether or not the POTV operator vas avare that the vaste received by
truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline vas a hazardous vaste. Consequently, to
minimize its liability, it is important that a POTV take steps to discover
vhether it is receiving hazardous vaste by these transport methods. In
addition, a POTV conducting a responsible, veil designed program to preclude
the receipt of hazardous vastes by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline,
although strictly liable under RCRA, vould be demonstrating good faith. This
could shift the equities and help reduce POTV liabilities resulting from the
receipt of such vastes.
3-2
-------
Both RCRA and CERCLA impose potential liabilities on facilities that
handle, or have handled, hazardous vastes. These responsibilities include
corrective measures designed to address releases of hazardous vastes, hazard-
ous constituents, or hazardous substances to the environment that result in a
threat to human health and the environment. A more detailed discussion of
RCRA corrective action requirements, which encompasses the cleanup of releases
of hazardous vastes and constituents, appears in Section 4.5.
Finally, a hazardous vaste generated by an industrial user and received
by a POTV by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline, is subject to applicable pre-
treatment standards (i.e., Federal, State, and/or local standards). Although
the industrial user is responsible for ensuring that all pretreatment stan-
dards are met, enforcement actions can be taken against a POTV vith an
approved pretreatment program under the CVA if it fails to 'implement its
pretreatment program by not enforcing applicable standards against the
industrial user. In addition, because a permit by rule requires compliance
vith the pretreatment regulations, if the POTV accepts a hazardous vaste from
an industry that is not in compliance vith pretreatment standards the POTV may
also be in violation of its RCRA permit by rule requirements (see Section
4.3).
As explained in the above discussion, although there are no express legal
requirements under RCRA/CERCLA for POTVs to adopt programs to preclude the
receipt of hazardous vastes, the liabilities associated vith unknowing
acceptance act as an incentive to develop such a program.
3.2 CONTROL MEASURES TO PREVENT DISCHARGES OF HAZARDOUS VASTE TO POTVS
POTVs can use regulatory and administrative control mechanisms such as
ordinances, permits, contracts, physical barriers, and vaste tracking systems
to prohibit the discharge of hazardous vastes to their treatment plants via
truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline. These regulatory and administrative
control mechanisms also can be used by POTVs to restrict or oversee the
discharge of any nonhazardous vastes by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline
that may be of concern to the POTV. This section discusses these control
mechanisms and the benefits and dravbacks associated with their use, and
3-3
-------
provides examples of how some POTVs have integrated these different mechanisms
into a successful control strategy.
This section refers predominantly to the control of wastes delivered by
truck, which is the most likely means by which a POTV would receive a hazard-
ous waste. Many of these same control measures can also be used to control
wastes received by rail. However, they may not be applicable to wastes
received by dedicated pipeline. A dedicated pipeline refers to a separate
pipeline that is used to carry hazardous wastes directly to a POTV's property
boundary without prior mixing with domestic sewage. To ensure that a POTV
does not receive hazardous wastes from a dedicated pipeline, a POTV would need
to apply strictly the control measures used in its pretreatment program (i.e.,
issuance of local user permits, sampling and inspections, etc.) to those
industrial users that discharge to a pipeline that does not receive domestic
sewage. Therefore, the POTV will need to determine if hazardous wastes are,
or are likely to be, discharged via a dedicated pipeline to the POTV. Section
3.3 provides further guidance on generator audits, which could be used to
assist in this determination.

3.2.1 Regulatory Control Mechanisms
3.2.1.1 Applicable Pretreatment Controls
The National Pretreatment Program is designed to protect municipal
wastewater treatment plants from the potential adverse effects of industrial
discharges. Specific goals of this program are to:
• Prevent interference with POTV operations that could result from the
introduction of pollutants that are toxic'or inhibitory to the
treatment process.
• Prevent the pass through of pollutants to the receiving water.
Pollutants that are incompatible or otherwise unaffected by the
treatment processes could have an adverse environmental impact on the
receiving water body.
• Preserve and improve sludge quality so that the chosen method of
sludge disposal can be continued and the possibility of more attract-
ive sludge reuse and recycle' options can be enhanced.
3-4
-------
All industrial users discharging to POTVs are subject to National Pretreatment
Program requirements and standards, as set forth in the General Pretreatment
Regulations (40 CFR Part 403). About 1,500 municipalities (POTVs) have been
required by EPA or authorized States to develop local pretreatment programs,
in pursuit of these goals, to manage and effectively control all nondomestic
wastes discharged to, and subsequently treated by, their treatment system.
Where POTVs were not required to develop local pretreatment programs, they
must still meet certain minimum pretreatment requirements and EPA or States
with approved pretreatment programs must apply and enforce certain other
applicable pretreatment standards and requirements (e.g., national
pretreatment standards for regulated industry categories).
Every component of a local industrial pretreatment program that applies
to piped industrial vastes vould also apply to hauled wastes. This section
discusses many of these components. (If a POTV is not required to develop and
obtain approval of a local pretreatment program, but is concerned about
receiving hazardous waste by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline, within the
POTV property boundary, it may wish to establish such a program voluntarily.)
There are several aspects of local pretreatment programs that may need to be
modified to ensure adequate control over hauled wastes, including:
• Sewer use ordinance — Many sewer use ordinances will address the
discharge of waste from septage trucks. In many cases, these
regulations and references may be vague and provide only minimal
controls. A general ordinance should state that the discharge of
hazardous waste by septage haulers is prohibited. Specific ordinance
changes should include clear definitions of hazardous, industrial, and
domestic wastes geared toward the type of industrial users making use
of the POTV so that no ambiguity exists with respect to the intent or
applicability of the ordinance. Section 3.2.2 provides further
guidance regarding sewer use ordinance provisions for waste received
by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline.
• Multijurisdictional arrangements — As per 40 CFR Part 403.8(b)(l), a
POTV must be able to enforce against all individual users making use
of the treatment system. Vhile it is recognized that developing such
an arrangement with a user outside the jurisdictional boundaries of
the POTV may be difficult, the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.8(b)(l)
must be satisfied. The POTV must enter into an arrangement with the
industry to allow for the extension of the POTV's legal authority to
inspect and sample at the generating facility, take enforcement
action, and require remedies consistent with the receiving POTV's
sewer use ordinance and pretreatment program.
3-5
-------
• Control mechanisms — The POTV should require discharge permits for
generating industries and operating permits for waste haulers. Local
sever use ordinances (and in some cases State lav) may need to be
amended to extend POTV authority to issue these permits. Section
3.2.3 discusses in detail the provisions necessary for development of
a control mechanism for waste haulers.
• Compliance sampling and inspections — The POTV's compliance program
must ensure industry compliance vith local and applicable Federal
standards and requirements. Generators of industrial vastes could be
inspected vith the same frequency as other significant or categorical
industrial users. These inspections should verify information
submitted by the industry on permit application forms, baseline
monitoring reports, compliance schedules, and self-monitoring reports.
Each inspection should cover vaste hauling records and manifests,
providing sufficient information to account for all vastes generated
since the previous inspection. If the industry is subject to categor-
ical standards and the combined vastestream formula is used, or if
solvent management plans are employed, actual industry practices must
be verified.
Sampling and analysis should be undertaken consistent vith EPA proce-
dures (40 CFR Part 136) and analysis must be performed for at least all
regulated pollutants. All inspection and sampling events must be documented
properly to ensure admissibility in possible legal actions. POTVs should take
special care vhen sampling hauled vastes. Primary concerns are unrepresenta-
tive samples due to partitioning in the tank truck (solids vill settle, and
organics may float), and possible safety concerns due to toxic fumes that
could build up in the tank head space. Changes in the sampling and analysis
procedures may be necessary to ensure adequate coverage of hazardous vaste.
Section 3.3 provides further guidance on the monitoring of hauled vastes.
3.2.1.2 Other Regulatory Control Mechanisms
POTVs may use regulations or ordinances to prevent discharges or deliver-
ies of hazardous vaste to their treatment facilities by truck, rail, or
dedicated pipeline. Most communities already have sever use ordinances to
regulate the use of publicly ovned severs. Prohibitions on discharges by
truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline vithin the POTV boundary can be
incorporated easily into most sever use ordinances.
3-6
• 'ir '
-------
To prevent truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline discharges of hazardous
waste to its facility, a POTW could incorporate a prohibition on such dis-
charges into its ordinance. There are at least three major degrees of regu-
latory control alternatives that can be implemented by the POTW to improve the
implementation of this prohibition. These are: prohibiting the discharge of
all hauled wastes (including septage); prohibiting the discharge of wastes
from industrial sites; and prohibiting the discharge of wastes containing
industrial wastes. In considering these alternatives, the POTW may want to
reserve the option of accepting hazardous wastes under well defined circum-
stances, e.g. receipt of contaminated leachate from a local CERCLA site. A
summary description of these three supplementary control alternatives appears
in Table 3-1, along with a short description of advantages and disadvantages.
The discussion below expands upon the tabular explanation.
• Prohibiting All Wastes Discharged to a POTW by Truck, Rail, or
Dedicated Pipeline
Sewer use ordinances (or equivalent POTW use and treatment rules) for
POTWs that want to ensure that they will not receive discharges of hazardous
waste by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline could set forth explicit pro-
hibitions for discharges to the POTW through any means other than normal sewer
connections. This type of local ordinance prohibition would be the most
effective way for a POTW to ensure that hazardous wastes are not knowingly
discharged to their collection or treatment system because all hauled wastes,
including septage, industrial hazardous wastes, and mixed wastes would be
prohibited from being discharged. Appendix B provides example language that
a POTW may wish to include in its local sewer use ordinance to prohibit the
discharge of all hauled wastes. In addition to being the most effective way
to preclude hazardous waste discharges, strict prohibitions on all hauled
wastes do not require implementation of administrative controls (as described
in Section 3*2.3). However, such a prohibition is not always practical or
desirable.

• Prohibiting Wastes from Industrial Sites Discharged to a POTV by
Truck, Rail, or Dedicated Pipeline
For many POTVs, prohibiting all hauled wastes from being discharged to
either its treatment system may be infeasible. Certain sections of a POTW's
service area may not be connected to the POTW treatment system, and many
domestic and/or industrial customers may still need to use septic tank
systems. These POTVs should consider only accepting hauled wastes from
domestic sources and prohibiting hauled wastes from industrial sites.
Provisions to this effect could be included in local sewer use ordinances.
Appendix B provides example language that a POTV may wish to include in its
local sewer use ordinance to prohibit the discharge of hauled wastes from
industrial sites.
The benefit of this approach is that POTVs can be relatively confident
that a hazardous waste will not be received, since, as explained in- Section
2.3, household wastes, such as domestic septage, are specifically exempted
from the definition of hazardous waste. However, since the POTV still would
be accepting hauled wastes, it also should implement an administrative control
mechanism (see Section 3.2.3), in addition to ordinance prohibitions and
restrictions, to ensure that only wastes from domestic sources are delivered
and discharged to the POTV. This is especially important in light of the fact
that mixtures of domestic and hazardous wastes could be considered hazardous
(see discussion of mixture of listed and characteristic wastes in Section
2.2).
• Prohibiting Industrial Process Vastes Discharged to a POTV by Truck,
Rail, or Dedicated Pipeline
It may not be feasible or desirable for a POTV to prohibit the discharge
of hauled domestic type wastes generated at industrial facilities. However,
to ensure that hazardous wastes are not contained in wastes hauled from
industrial facilities, a POTV can specifically prohibit the delivery and
discharge of industrial process wastes, spill residues, etc. This type of
control can be contained in local sewer use ordinances, which can be amended
to prohibit specifically the discharge of hauled industrial wastes. Appendix
B contains example language that a POTV may wish to include in its local sewer
3-9
-------
use ordinance to prohibit the discharge of hauled industrial waste. As
industrial hazardous wastes may be mixed with domestic type wastes that are
hauled from an industrial facility, it is strongly recommended that a POTV
also implement administrative controls to enforce applicable sewer user
ordinance provisions.
3.2.2 Administrative Controls
Administrative controls can allow POTVs to place specific restrictions
on businesses involved in generating or transporting nondomestic wastes.
Specifically, these controls can assist a POTV in ensuring that hazardous
wastes are not being discharged to its treatment system, thus avoiding
liabilities under RCRA. In addition, implementation of these administrative
controls by a POTV can assist in protecting treatment plant operations. For
example, a POTV may wish to restrict metals concentrations in hauled waste to
protect the sludge quality. Similarly, accepting volatile solvents may create
interference with biological treatment systems or cause explosive hazards at
the plant. The following sections describe five types of administrative
controls that can be used by POTVs to oversee the discharge of hauled wastes.
These controls include the use of permits, a waste tracking system, physical
restrictions, surveillance, and inspections and sampling. A listing of these
administrative control mechanisms appears in Table 3-2. A discussion of
inspection and sampling methods appears in Section 3.3. Although each
administrative control mechanism is discussed in Table 3-2 separately, a POTV
could use all, or any combination, of these administrative controls. This
guidance recommends that POTVs adopt all aspects of these five types of
administrative controls, adjusting the intensity of use of each aspect to suit
its own needs. The following sections provide an indepth discussion of these
mechanisms.
3.2.2.1 Permits
The most direct way to restrict the discharge of wastes received from
haulers is for the POTV to issue permits that would outline the conditions
that would have to be met before a waste could be discharged to the POTV.
These conditions may be similar to those conditions or requirements for indus-

trial users subject to a local pretreatment program. POTVs can issue permits
to either the waste transporter and/or the vaste source or generator.
Requiring permits is an effective means of limiting the community of users.
This method of control improves the POTW's knowledge of transporters/
generators and improves its overall ability to ensure that the receipt of
hazardous waste is prohibited.
For a permit to be effective in controlling wastes discharged to POTWs,
the establishment of discharge conditions is recommended. The following are
several conditions that are highly recommended to be included as part of a
permitting system. These conditions could be placed directly into the permit,
or the permit simply could require compliance with the local sewer use
ordinance, which could contain these conditions:
• Right of refusal to accept waste — The POTW should reserve the right
to refuse any waste suspected or proven to be hazardous to avoid RCRA
responsibilities. Reason for refusal of certain wastes, such as
solvents or those wastes with high metals concentrations, may protect
the plant, worker safety, or the environment.
• Prohibited or restricted substances — The permit could contain
explicit restrictions on pollutant concentrations, waste character-
istics, or waste types. If the POTW chooses to prohibit all RCRA
wastes from being hauled and directly discharged, the criteria or
wastes listed in 40 CFR Part 261 could be adopted as specific prohibi-
tions in the permit (e.g., corrosive or EP toxic wastes, or specific
listed wastestreams). In the alternative, the control mechanism could
clearly identify the wastes that will be acceptable, taking care that
the Part 261 wastes and criteria are not included in the permit.
• Notification of change of waste type — The POTW may want to require
that any new industrial or commercial waste be approved by the POTW
prior to being hauled. The hauler and/or generator could be required
to notify the POTW of requests to haul new.or significantly different
waste from recognized, permitted sources or waste from previously
unrecognized sources. (To implement this requirement, the POTW would
have to clearly define what constitutes a "significantly different"
waste). This ensures that the POTW knows of its introduction into the
system and can adequately characterize this new waste. After this
characterization of wastes is performed, the POTW could accept the
wastes, or deny the discharge because the wastes are hazardous or
otherwise incompatible with the treatment works.
• Waste tracking — Each permit could require the waste generator and/or
waste hauler to use a waste tracking system that enables the POTW to
track the sources, types, and quantities of wastes delivered to the
3-13
-------
POTV. (Section 4.4.2 provides a discussion of RCRA waste manifest
system.) The use of a waste tracking system is useful in determining
if a waste is a RCRA hazardous waste, in recognizing possible illegal
hauling, or in identifying wastes that have a potential to cause
upsets or other treatment plant problems. The POTV could develop and
require the use of a form that provides relevant information on the
hauled waste, including the source, address, telephone number, time
and date of pickup, waste type, known or suspected pollutants, and
certification that the waste is not hazardous. (Section 3.2.3.2
provides more information on the implementation of a waste tracking
system.)
• Monitoring and sampling — The permit could explicitly allow the POTV
operator or a designated representative the opportunity to sample
prior to discharge by the septage hauler. The permit also can require
the hauler to sample any waste where it is generated, before it is
initially pumped into the truck or rail car. If haulers are required
to sample, sampling and preservation procedures can be specified in
the permit by the POTV. The permit could also make the industrial
user aware of its responsibilities to determine that its solid waste
is a hazardous waste. (Section 3.3 provides further information on
monitoring strategies.)
• Designated disposal points — Each permit could designate specific
discharge times and points at the treatment plant. Ideally, disposal
should occur where direct supervision by plant personnel is available
(e.g., at the headworks or into a holding tank at the plant). This
allows plant personnel to inspect easily the waste tracking manifest,
verify its information, sample the waste, and ensure that incompatible
vastes are not dumped into the system. Receipt of hazardous waste to
a point in the collection system constitutes a violation of RCRA
manifest requirements. Therefore, before receiving solid wastes into
the collection system, the POTV should ensure that such wastes are not
hazardous wastes.
• Fee system — A fee schedule for treatment of hauled wastes can be
described within the permit, setting forth baseline charges for a
specific volume of waste as well as high strength surcharges. Extra
charges to cover the cost of sampling and analysis also may be
included. These costs may vary dependent on techniques used (see
discussion of waste monitoring plan in Section 3.3).
• Penalties and other remedies for noncompliance — Each permit could
describe the penalties and other remedies available to the POTV should
a waste hauler violate any conditions of discharge. For example,
hauling waste in violation of Federal or local limits may carry a
different fine or legal action than violating waste tracking pro-
cedures or discharging waste that damages the treatment plant. In
addition, the permit could specify the legal procedures (e.g., show
cause hearings or issuing injunctions) that would be available under
3-14
-------
appropriate circumstances of nonrompliance. Permits also could
describe federally imposed penalties that generators/transporters may
face. For example, Section 3008(e) of RCRA provides for penalties of
up to $250,000 and 15 years imprisonment for placing a person in
imminent danger of death or bodily injury.
• Damage liability — The permit should contain language that describes
the liability of a hauler who discharges waste that damages the
treatment plant or collection system, causes injury to plant per-
sonnel, contaminates sludge, or otherwise results in problems for the
POTV. This liability should include the legal costs the POTV incurs
in assessing damages, as well as the cost to repair plant damages,
etc. Upon proof of willful or intentional damage, and as allowed by
State and local law, the POTV may assess additional liability (e.g.,
several times the amount of the actual damage) as a punitive measure.
Dependent on State and local law, a POTV might also hold the waste
hauler liable for the civil penalties and fines a POTV may incur for
noncompliance with RCRA permit by rule requirements or for releases of
hazardous waste or hazardous constituents to the environment, should
the hauler knowingly discharge a hazardous waste to the POTV without
notifying and receiving permission from the POTV.
• Permit revocation — The permit could be revocable in the case of a
significant violation or a pattern of violations by the waste hauler,
or by the waste generator or storage facility from which waste is
hauled to the POTV. By specifying that the permit is revocable, the
POTV can deter haulers from transporting potentially hazardous wastes.
As a result, haulers may be more selective in receiving wastes from
industrial facilities,
Some POTVs have adopted the following conditions, in addition to those
listed above, as part of their control programs. The following conditions,
while not directly related to preventing the receipt of hazardous wastes, may
be used to improve waste management procedures:
• Liability insurance — To ensure that the hauler can reimburse the
POTV for damages caused by discharging an incompatible waste, the POTV
could require the hauler to obtain liability insurance as a condition
in the permit. The amount of liability insurance coverage can vary
tremendously, depending on the potential for damage to the system.
One large urban POTV requires haulers to obtain coverage for at least
$1 million for each occurrence. Potential plant damage will depend on
the size and complexity of the POTV.
• Equipment performance standards — The permit may contain minimum
performance requirements for the permittee's vehicle, as well as
procedures for pumping, discharging, and measuring waste. These
requirements can prevent inadvertent leakage and can facilitate
trouble-free discharging of waste. For example, the POTV could
3-15
-------
require the hauler to maintain the waste hauling tank without leaks or
corrosion, to install a positive check valve or use a level gauge to
prevent over-fill, or to maintain a suitable discharge valve, hose,
and connector, etc.
• Spill prevention/notification — The POTV could require that waste
haulers take precautions to avoid spills and notify the POTV when
spills occur. Spilled wastes should not enter the sewer system
without being sampled and determined compatible with the treatment
system. If the waste is potentially toxic (e.g., industrial), the
POTW can also contact appropriate environmental authorities or
document its introduction into the system and sample the appropriate
sewer lines for contamination.
In summary, the permit provides three distinct and useful functions: an
informational function, a regulatory function, and an enforcement function.
As an informational tool, the septage hauler or waste generator can improve
treatment or hauling system procedures to avoid mixing solid and hazardous
wastes. The permit also provides a means for the POTW to develop an inventory
of haulers and generators, thereby improving control over use of the treatment
system.
Permits may be used by a POTV to require the hauler or generator to meet
specific requirements necessary to ensure that hazardous wastes are not
received at the treatment plant. Permits may also be used to protect plant
operations and the environment, and include limitations on waste type or
pollutant concentrations and self-monitoring requirements to ensure such
protection. Using a permit also allows the POTV to place specific restric-
tions on waste haulers and generators who use the POTV, creating a foundation
for possible enforcement actions. An example waste hauler permit is presented
in Appendix C.
As an enforcement tool, a permit can define the criteria for determining
when a violation has occurred and set appropriate penalties. It also may
specify hauler or generator liability, and define procedures and responsi-
bilities in legal hearings. A permit also can be revoked by the POTV under
appropriate circumstances, constituting a ban on accepting waste from a hauler
or generator. Consequently, use of an administrative and/or regulatory
structure to control the practice of hauling waste to the plant allows the
3-16
-------
POTV to protect itself from receiving hazardous wastes, potentially hazardous
wastes, or dangerous, incompatible wastes.
3.2.2.2 Vaste Tracking System
A waste tracking system is another mechanism a POTV can use to ensure
that a waste being hauled and subsequently discharged is not hazardous. A
waste tracking system will enable the POTV to track the sources, types, and
quantities of waste that are being hauled to the treatment plant. As pre-
viously discussed in Section 3.2.2.1, compliance with a waste tracking system,
including the submission of a waste tracking form, can be required as a
condition in a permit. Alternatively, a waste tracking system can be used
independently of other control mechanisms.
In developing a waste tracking system, POTVs will need to rely on one of
two strategies:
• Require the waste generator to obtain a waste tracking form from the
POTV, list the type and volume of waste, SIC code, source, address,
telephone number, time and date of pickup, waste type, known or
suspected pollutants, and certification that the waste is not hazard-
ous on the form and transmit the form to the POTV via the waste
hauler. Restrict waste haulers to hauling only wastes accompanied by
completed waste tracking forms.
• Require the waste hauler to list the SIC code, source, address,
telephone number, time and date of pickup, waste type, known or
suspected pollutants and certification that the waste is not hazardous
for each generator serviced on a waste tracking form and transmit the
form to the plant operator before discharge of the waste would be
allowed.
Use of waste tracking, in concert with a source control program (i.e.,
permitting, sampling, and inspecting the generator), and a hauler sampling
program will provide a high degree of control by the POTV over incoming
wastes. By requiring the use of waste tracking forms, the POTV can determine
the source of the waste, its probable content, and its volume before allowing
it to be discharged. This information can be checked by sampling and compar-
ing the volume noted on the tracking form to the hauled volume, and by
contacting the waste generator to verify that waste was pumped and hauled from
3-17
-------
the source listed on the waste tracking form. An example waste tracking form
that can be used by POTVs to track hauled wastes is presented in Appendix D.
3.2.2.3 Physical Restrictions
To minimize illegal discharges and to ensure that the POTV has the
opportunity to exercise control over incoming hauled waste, discharge points
for hauled wastes should be restricted and supervised. Restrictions of
discharge points for hauled wastes can be implemented through a permit or
contract (as discussed in Section 3.2.3.1) or as an independent control
mechanism. Following are some alternatives for physically restricting the
discharge of hauled wastes should a POTV choose to use this type of admin-
istrative control.
The advantage of using a discharge point in the collection system is that
hauled wastes may have the opportunity to mix adequately with other wastes in
the collection system before reaching the treatment plant headworks. Again,
this may be desirable for smaller POTVs or those POTVs susceptible to shock or
slug loads. The disadvantage of a collection system discharge point is that
the POTV may not be able to oversee discharge activities as easily as if
discharge occurred at the treatment plant. Thus, a collection- system dis-
charge point, with restricted access controls, should be identified that can
be surveyed easily by the POTV to ensure proper oversight of waste hauler
activity.
Accepting hazardous waste in the collection system may pose additional
legal concerns to the POTV. Hazardous waste generators are required to send
their hazardous waste to permitted TSDFs, accompanied by a RCRA manifest. The
dumping of hazardous waste down a manhole outside of the POTV facility is a
violation of RCRA hazardous waste generation and transportation requirements.
Thus, the generator and transportator could both be liable for manifest
violations. It is unlikely that a POTV which unknowingly receives hazardous
waste which had been illegally dumped down a manhole would independently be in
violation of RCRA requirements. However, POTVs which knowingly allow or
participate in such activities may be subject to criminal liability under a
variety of statutes as an accessory to generator and transporter violations. •
3-18
-------
In many cases,'treatment plant access may result in discharges directly
to the headworks. This is normally allowed at larger POTVs, which can handle
the slug load from the hauler without any detrimental effects on the POTW
operations. However, in some cases where storage or equalization capacity is
available, hauled waste can be required to be discharged to equalization or
holding tanks, where it can be characterized prior to introduction to (or
restriction from) the treatment system. However, receipt of hazardous wastes
to equalization and holding tanks would trigger RCRA permit by rule
requirements. Equalization and holding tanks also will allow smaller POTVs,
or those POTVs susceptible to shock or slug loads, to regulate the intro-
duction of the hauled wastes into the treatment system. EPA is currently
developing a guidance manual on the prevention of interference with POTV
operations. Sections of this guidance manual will discuss waste management
techniques which may lessen impacts from discharged wastes.
The benefits of restricting discharges to a single area within the POTV
boundaries are that the plant operator can easily inspect and sample any or
all hauled waste, verify waste tracking records, supervise the discharge of
waste, and prohibit wastes that are incompatible with the treatment system.
By restricting access and supervising the discharge of hauled waste, POTVs can
discourage haulers from attempting to discharge illegally incompatible toxic
or hazardous industrial wastes.
Some POTVs have chosen to issue magnetic cards to haulers to gain access
to discharge areas. These cards signal the operator that a hauler is dis-
charging, identify the hauler, and calculate the volume of waste being
discharged. Vhile this measure offers some level of control, it is not as
effective as the POTV manning the discharge area and conducting sampling. As
an additional measure of control, some POTVs simply use a gate with a padlock
to restrict discharges. Typically, discharging is only allowed during a
specified period in the day (e.g., 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.), enabling the plant
operator to supervise the discharge of hauled wastes.
3-19
-------
3.2.2.4 Surveillance and Investigative Techniques
All POTWs, by nature of their collection systems, are subject to unknown
discharges of incompatible wastes (e.g., illegal "midnight dumping"). POTWs
may want to pursue a course of surveillance and/or sampling as a control
mechanism to detect the sources of these unknown discharges. Monitoring to
detect illegal dumping may entail periodic sampling of suspected sewer lines,
and/or surveillance of manholes or storm drains. POTVs can contact State or
Federal RCRA authorities to determine likely sources of hazardous waste and
obtain records of their disposal practices, compliance history, waste types,
etc. Many States also have illegal discharge enforcement programs, which can
assist POTVs in their surveillance programs. Local law enforcement officials
can be requested to assist in surveillance activities and enforcement of
municipal statutes and regulations dealing with illegal discharges. Some
POTVs have chosen to use video cameras to monitor septage discharge stations.
In cases where illegal dumping is suspected, video surveillance can be used at
manholes or storm drains where surveillance by POTV personnel is infeasible.
Where POTVs suspect that a septage hauler is mixing hazardous and domestic
wastes, the POTV may want to follow the hauler schedule on a random basis.
3.3 VASTE MONITORING PLAN
A POTV also may want to design a waste monitoring plan as part of its
administrative control system. While a hazardous waste may not be transported
legally without a hazardous waste manifest, POTVs should be aware that some
haulers may carry unmanifested hazardous wastes illegally. Therefore, even if
a POTV does not receive manifested wastes, it may be receiving hazardous
wastes and thus may still be responsible for obtaining and satisfying the
requirements of a RCRA permit by rule. The purpose of the waste monitoring
plan is to complement the aforementioned administrative techniques, thereby
helping to identify unmanifested hazardous wastes and preclude their «ntry
into the POTV system.
Since the definition of hazardous waste is a legal definition, and not
strictly based on the presence of pollutants or the concentration of those
pollutants in a waste, a waste monitoring plan may not, by itself, work to
3-20
-------
preclude the entry of hazardous wastes. This is especially true given that a
listed hazardous waste, when mixed with a solid waste, remains a hazardous
waste without regard to the resultant concentrations. Nonetheless, a well-
executed waste monitoring plan can work as an effective mechanism to deter
unscrupulous waste generators and haulers.
As described in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, it is recommended that if a POTW
accepts hauled wastes, it should limit its receipt of these hauled wastes to a
well-defined set of generators and haulers. By monitoring the set of waste
generators, the POTV can exercise a high degree of control over incoming
waste. While this approach should limit any potential for receipt of hazard-
ous wastes, some opportunity remains as a result of either unscrupulous or
careless behavior by generators and haulers. The design of a waste monitoring
program can be more complex where the POTV is seeking to identify a hazardous
constituent or hazardous waste characteristic from an unknown source. Given
the fact that hazardous wastes can be extremely varied and at times difficult
to detect, the implementation of a waste monitoring plan can be a time
consuming, costly exercise. Full consideration was given to time and cost
constraints in the recommendations provided in Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 so
that a POTV can structure a workable program.
3.3.1 Identification of Potential Hazardous Vaste Source and Types
As described in Section 3.2, a POTV could maintain a legal/administrative
system that limits the number and types of hauled wastes that could be
accepted at the treatment plant. By using such a system, the POTV can tailor
a waste analysis plan to the characteristics of each generator. However, even
with such a system, permitted generators and/or haulers may mix solid or
domestic wastes with "nonmanifested" hazardous wastes as a result of either
unscrupulous or careless practices. Consequently, in these cases, the POTV
will need to make a reasoned effort in determining probable hazardous waste
contamination sources and design a program to detect mixing of hazardous waste
with domestic waste from these.sources. This section presents methodologies
for designing a waste monitoring plan in two separate cases: (1) where the
generator is unknown and the POTV must screen the waste at the treatment plant
before allowing it to be discharged, and (2) where the generator is known and
is subject to waste monitoring prior to hauling waste.
3-21
-------
3.3.1.1 Identification of Hazardous Wastes from Unknown Generators
Designing a waste monitoring plan to detect hazardous wastes from an
unknown hazardous waste generator can be challenging. This will be the case
if the POTV is seeking to detect hazardous wastes mixed with septage sewage.
While the steps described in this section can be expected to reduce the number
of potential parameters of concern, this list still may be large and varied
(e.g., metals, volatile organics). Section 2.3 provided discussions on those
wastes that may be commonly discharged to POTWs. These discussions should
provide the POTV with an idea of some of the hazardous wastes and constituents
that may.be generated in its service area. POTWs can refine this list by
focusing on industries located in its service area and researching their waste
types and quantities reported through CWA and RCRA mechanisms (e.g. RCRA 3010
notification).
Further, rather than design a monitoring program to monitor for the
numerous types of hazardous waste (there are over 300 RCRA Appendix VIII
hazardous constituents and four hazardous waste characteristics to consider)
it is recommended that the POTW consider evaluating wastes hauled from an
unknown generator by performing a three tiered analysis.
In the first tier, the POTW should perform a data gathering exercise and
desktop analysis to identify potential hazardous waste generators in its
service community including types and quantities of waste, as well as current
and/or proposed management practices. Section 3.3.1.2 of this document
describes aspects of this data gathering exercise by way of example. This
exercise involves reviewing data previously submitted by the facilities as a
result of CWA or RCRA authorities.
In the second tier, the POTW should use information gathered in the first
tier to design a monitoring plan intended to screen hauled waste. This can be
accomplished by performing tests on indicator parameters. For example, if
industries in the community typically generate caustic or acidic wastes, a
simple pH test may be appropriate. Similarly, the presence of spent solvents
may be indicated using an OVA/HNU meter. The example waste monitoring plans
in Section 3.3.3 of this document provide examples of simple screening tests
3-22
-------
that a POTV may choose to employ. The second tier of tests will not
definitively identify whether a. waste is hazardous or not. However, they may
be helpful in identifying wastes of concern. Among the test methods that are
described in Table 3-3 are those that fit this "screening" purpose, including
biluminescence tests and vapor analysis tests. Potential screening techniques
appear in boldfaced print in Table 3.3.
Affirmative results to these screening tests could trigger a third tier
of testing. This would involve more extensive analysis, such as EP Toxicity
testing or GC/MS analysis, to identify and quantify specific hazardous
constituents.
Undertaking the following will assist the POTV operator in developing a
waste monitoring strategy:
• Contact State and Federal hazardous waste program officials to
determine who the hazardous waste handlers (e.g. generators, trans-
porters, and TSDF's) are in your service area. Ascertain the hazard-
ous waste types and constituents handled by these facilities from
State/Federal officials. Appendices A-l, A-2, and A-3 to this
document list hazardous wastes and constituents that may be found in •
selected industries.
• Certain hazardous wastes are widely generated and the constituents
associated with these wastes probably should be considered in pre-
paring a waste monitoring plan. Examples of widely generated hazard-
ous wastes include electroplating wastes, spent solvents, and small
quantity generator wastes such as dry cleaner wastes. Section 2.3 of
this document describes these widely generated hazardous wastes, as
well as others, that POTVs may encounter.
• Some wastes will be generated by industries that are particular to the
region in which a POTV is located. For example, a POTV operating in a
geographical region where numerous wood preserving industries are
located should be aware of the potential for receipt of listed bottom
sediment sludges from wood preserving wastewater treatment systems.
3.3.1.2 Identification of Hazardous Vaste from Known Generators
By imposing specific waste monitoring requirements on known generators,
the POTV can increase its knowledge of the nature of waste accepted for
treatment. To develop industry-specific monitoring requirments, the POTV can
use the following mechanisms:

-------
• As described above, a first step is to contact State and Federal
hazardous waste program officials to determine vho the hazardous waste
handlers (e.g. generators, transporters, and TSDF's) are in your
service area. Ascertain the hazardous waste types and constituents
handled by these facilities from State/Federal officials.
• Onsite audits or inspections by the POTV of known or suspected
hazardous waste generators would assist in determining what types of
hazardous wastes are handled at a facility and where wastes are sent
for treatment and disposal. These audits or inspections could be
performed in conjunction with inspections performed as part of the
POTV's pretreatment program. These audits or inspections also could
be performed prior to permit issuance, should a POTV choose to permit
hazardous waste generators.
• Review Appendix A to this document to determine whether this facility
belongs to an industry which is known for generating a listed waste,
e.g., listed solvents. Also review the Appendix VII list to target
particular hazardous constituents associated with these wastes.
• Industrial waste surveys performed by POTWs during pretreatment
program development may provide information that would be useful in
determining hazardous waste practices of industrial/commercial
facilities in the POTV service area. In some instances, POTVs
required specific information regarding hazardous waste types gener-
ated at a given facility and then associated waste disposal practices.
Perhaps the most reliable information source that a POTV can use to
design a generator-specific waste monitoring plan is the onsite audit de-
scribed above. However, to be effective, the audit should encompass a review
of all wastestreams at the subject facility, not only those wastestreams for
which the discharge permit is being sought. Generally, the audit should
involve:
• Identification and sampling of all wastestreams to determine concen-
trations of suspected Appendix VII and VIII hazardous constituents,
characteristic tests, and physical characteristics such as specific
gravity, pH, and solids content. This can be required of the industry
prior to acceptance of wastes by the POTV.
• An explanation of the production processes leading to the generation
of these wastestreams, including such information as: types and
quantities of raw materials, catalysts, reagants used in the produc-
tion process; routine variations in process operation; previous
history of waste handling methods; practices used to avoid waste
mixing, etc.
3-27
-------
• A review of the generator's records of hazardous vaste identification,
including manifest records of wastes routinely sent off-site. If the
generator manages wastes onsite, the facility's operating records
should be reviewed.
As a result of an audit (and/or a pretreatment review of permit applica-
tion or industrial waste survey data if an onsite audit is not feasible), the
POTV will be in a better position to determine if the potential exists for
receiving mixtures of hazardous and nonhazardous wastes. If the facility
generates listed hazardous wastes, and the POTV still chooses to receive the
nonhazardous facility wastes, the data gathered will provide the POTV with a
list of hazardous constituents that may be monitored for during a spot check,
or if time and cost allow, more routine basis. In addition, if the hazardous
waste is a characteristic waste, the hazardous characteristics that should be
considered in the waste monitoring plan will be identified.
In a broader sense, the audit and/or industrial data review will give the
POTV the opportunity to consider what is the most appropriate waste monitoring
approach in dealing with the subject generator. If the POTV is accepting
wastes by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline from industries subject to
categorical standards, the POTV will need to monitor for compliance with
categorical standards and local limits. The POTV also will want to monitor
these wastes for any parameters that may cause POTV operational problems or
worker health and safety hazards (i.e., corrosion, fire/explosion, and
toxicity to the biological treatment system). POTVs receiving industrial
process wastes, particularly when that industrial facility is a known hazard-
ous waste generator, should monitor for hazardous constituent parameters and
characteristics at a more frequent basis than would be conducted for the
receipt of septage wastes.
3.3.2 Considerations in Developing a Vaste Monitoring Plan
Vhen developing a waste monitoring plan to ensure that hazardous wastes
are not being hauled and discharged to their wastewater treatment system, a
POTV will have to consider the resources available to implement this plan.
Table 3-3 presents information regarding analytical protocols and the approxi-
mate resources necessary to monitor various hazardous waste parameters.
3-28
-------
The time, cost, and expertise constraints listed in Table 3-3 may limit
both the monitoring approach and monitoring frequency selected by a FOTV. As
Table 3-3 illustrates, there are a variety of options for analyzing for both
organics and metals. While only the first four techniques, the characteristic
tests, are designed specifically for making hazardous waste determinations,
all of the other techniques listed here may be used by POTVs as surrogate
measures for making hazardous waste determinations. All of these tests share
one disadvantage: none of the tests is a sure-fire approach for determining
whether a waste is hazardous. On the other hand, some of the techniques are
more advantageous for some reasons (e.g., detection limits), while disadvan-
tageous in other senses (e.g., time and cost).
3.3.2.1 Equipment, Time, and Costs of Monitoring
As suggested in Table 3-3, monitoring just prior to a generator's
discharge may not be a reasonable approach based on the time needed for
analysis (e.g., Series 7000 metals analysis may take up to 3 days). In these
cases, the POTW may choose to conduct monitoring at the generator's facility
or, alternatively, employ a holding tank for storage of the hauled wastes
prior to discharge to the treatment system. However, a FOTV storing hazardous
wastes on site would be subject to permit by rule requirements. Thus, this
type of monitoring approach may defeat the purpose of the waste monitoring
plan. In other cases, the constraining factor may not be the time necessary
for analysis, but the cost of that analysis (e.g., GC/MS scans for volatiles
may cost 2-3 times the unit costs, up to $900, as shown in the table) if the
analysis is to be performed at a commercial laboratory on a "quick turnaround"
basis. While the unit costs decline sharply when the POTW owns the equipment,
the capital cost of equipment (and the personnel needed to run that equipment)
may be cost-prohibitive to most POTWs. In light of these costs, the POTW may
limit the analytical frequency, even if the generator is expected to pick up
analytical costs.
3.3.2.2 Selection of Parameters for Waste Analysis
Selection of sampling parameters should be based on the POTW's knowledge
of potential sources of hauled waste. To develop an efficient, cost-effective
3-29
-------
vaste analysis strategy, POTVs may conduct a tvo-phased plan. In the first
phase, the POTV can test for specific indicator parameters using simple tests,
such as pH, color, and OVA or HNU (for organic vapors). In the second phase,
more extensive analysis can be performed if the initial tests indicate a
potential problem. The use of specific tests at the point of discharge can be
tailored to wastes generated from specific industries or industrial processes.
The RCRA characteristic tests for ignitability, corrosivity, and reactiv-
ity are applicable to POTV operational and worker/health and safety concerns.
However, as suggested above, time and resource costs may prohibit continuous
monitoring for these characteristics. This is particularly true for the
reactivity and EP toxicity tests.
A POTW may use Table 3-3 to suggest alternative monitoring methods. For
example, the EP toxicity test may be time (2 days or more) and cost ($20K
capital, $250-650 unit) prohibitive for a POTV to adopt as part of a regular
vaste monitoring plan. The operator may choose to monitor for the metals at
the EP toxic concentrations as opposed to conducting the more expensive EP
toxic test. If a larger concentratipn is found than that determined to be EP
toxic (see Table 2-1), the POTV can refuse to allow the discharge of the waste
to the POTV. Vhile this is an especially stringent approach, in that the EP
Toxic concentrations represent "leached" concentrations and not waste concen-
trations, conducting this level of sampling and analysis may be more cost-
effective for POTVs than engaging in EP toxicity testing procedures. However,
the POTV may choose to require generators/haulers to conduct EP toxicity tests
if a total waste analysis reveals high concentrations.
One factor of concern is that hazardous constituents mixed with septage
wastes are likely to be bound in a solid matrix. The time and associated cost
of analyzing for pollutants in this matrix is greater than that required for -
analyzing pollutants in the water matrix. Unlike industrial/commercial
generators, septage haulers ordinarily do not possess the resources necessary
to absorb additional testing costs that the POTV may need to impose.
3-30
-------
.1.
On the basis of practical time and cost constraints, the POTV may choose
to limit the scope and frequency of analysis. Where the POTV views time and
cost constraints of analysis prohibitive, it still may choose to take samples
of the hauled discharge for deterrence purposes.
3.3.3 Example Waste Monitoring Plans
The following discussions describe two different examples of how a POTV
can use the guidance provided throughout this section to develop a waste
monitoring plan to preclude the discharge of hazardous wastes by waste or
septage haulers.
3.3.3.1 Septage Vaste Case Study
In this example, the POTV allows septage haulers to discharge to its wastewater t
eatment system. The POTV permits all septage haulers, and allows
only the discharge of wastes from domestic sources. Given this scenario, the
POTV may not be very concerned about routinely receiving hazardous wastes or
monitoring for their presence due to the following:
• The permitting system implemented by the POTV for septage haulers only
allows for the discharge of wastes from domestic sources
• Any solid wastes generated in a household are excluded from regulation
as a hazardous waste under RCRA.
Hazardous Vaste Identification
There are many petroleum refining industries located within and around
the POTV service area; therefore, the POTV decides to investigate the possi-
bility that a permitted septage hauler may be collecting hazardous waste from
one of these facilities. The first step the POTV takes is to obtain informa-
tion regarding hazardous waste activities at these refineries. The informa-
tion is gathered from the following sources:
• Completed industrial waste surveys that were collected during pre-
treatment program development
• Discussions with State hazardous waste officials regarding the status
of the refineries in and around the POTV's service area.
Based on review of the above sources, the POTV discovers that two refineries
that were treating hazardous waste onsite no longer do so. According to RCRA
program officials, the facilities now are pursuing alternate disposal methods.
The POTV is concerned that these facilities may consider use of the POTV as a
disposal option and decides to develop and implement a waste monitoring
program.
3-31
-------
The POTW initiates the development of its waste monitoring plan by
identifying the potential waste types and associated constituents (or pol-
lutant parameters) that could be generated at the petroleum refineries. By
reviewing Appendix A to this document and any other available information,
(i.e., pretreatment audits, State inspection reports), the POTW determines
that there are five listed hazardous wastes for the petroleum refining
industry: K048, K049, K050, K051, and K052. The constituents (or pollutant
"parameters) associated with these listed wastes (as provided in Appendix VII
to 40 CFR 261 and Appendix A-3 to this document) are as follows:
Listed Waste Hazardous Constituents
K048 Hexavalent Chromium, Lead
K049 Hexavalent Chromium, Lead
K050 Hexavalent Chromium
K051 Hexavalent Chromium, Lead
K052 Lead
Methods Selection and Sampling Frequency
Based on the above list, the POTW then considers monitoring septage
haulers for hexavalent chromium and lead on a spot-check basis. After
reviewing Table 3-3, the POTW decides that the costs associated with analyzing
these two pollutants on a random basis are within reason and can be recovered
via septage hauler permitting fees (approximately $25-50 per analyte per
sample, assuming a contract laboratory with ICAP capabilities was used). The
POTW will sample each of the haulers prior to discharge, but only analyze a
sample for hexavalent chromium and lead a couple of times a year on a random
basis for each hauler or when the POTW is suspicious of illegal discharges
from a hauler. Due to the time required for these analyses (about 4 hours,
not including delivery time to the laboratory), and the POTW's inability to
store hauled wastes onsite, the POTW will allow hauled wastes to be dis-
charged, analyzing the sample for hexavalent chormium and lead after the fact.
Should analytical results show high concentrations of either pollutant, then
the POTW will follow up, take enforcement action as necessary, and increase
monitoring efforts on the hauler of concern.
3.3.3.2 Metal Finisher Case Study
In this section, the methodology for developing a waste monitoring plan
described throughout Section 3.3 is again applied by way of example. A metal
finisher has requested permission to discharge metal finishing wastewaters to
the headworks of the POTW via truck.
Hazardous Waste Identification and Associated Auditing
Upon being contacted by the metal finisher, the POTW contacts the State -
hazardous waste agency to determine if the metal finisher is a hazardous waste
handler. State officials verify that the metal finisher is a hazardous waste
generator of electroplating wastewater treatment sludges (F006), cyanide
plating bath solutions (F007), and cyanide plating bath sludges (F008). The
POTW requests this information from the State.
3-32
-------
The POTV decides to conduct an onsite audit of the metal finishing
facility's production and waste handling procedures. Audit findings ascertain
that the metal finisher is in the business of zinc plating and chromating
pipe. The production process involves solvent degreasing iron pipe, subject-
ing the pipe to two consecutive cleanings (one alkaline, one acid), plating
the pipe in a zinc cyanide solution, rinsing the product, immersing it in a
chromic acid bath for purposes of chromating, and passing the pipeline through
a final rinse.
The POTV also notes that two separate sumps are used to collect alkaline
and acid dip rinses and discharge to a treatment system just prior to lime and
settle. The metal finisher is interested in disposing vastevater from its
vastevater treatment system at the POTV. The metal finisher plans to contract
with a hauler to deliver and dispose of the waste from the treatment system at
the POTV.
Vhile the metal finisher insists that the degreasing procedure is a 100
percent recycle operation, on further questioning the metal finisher acknow-
ledges that spills have occurred in the past. It is also noted that the
cyanide plating solutions, the plating bath sludges, and the wastewater
treatment sludges are sent to a RCRA treatment, storage, or disposal facility.
The POTV verifies this by checking signed copies of hazardous waste manifests
available at the metal finisher. The POTV also determines the approximate
volume of waste generated by each process by reviewing facility records.
Parameter Selection
Prior to requesting samples, the POTV reviews the results of the audit in
light of the hazardous waste identification regulations. By reviewing
Appendices B-l, B-2, and B-3 to this document, the POTV finds that EPA has
published key pollutants and characteristics displayed by each listed waste.
In addition to the F006-F008 listed wastes that the State identified, the POTV
finds that the metal finisher's disposal of trichloroethylene qualifies as a
listed waste: F001, spent halogenated solvents used in degreasing.
On the basis of checking with the State, the audit, and the in-house
review, the POTV could request that the metal finisher provide samples of the
following wastes to a laboratory preselected by the POTV (which may be the
POTVs own laboratory in the case of larger POTVs): the F006-F008 wastes, and
the treated wastewater. A sample of the degreasing agent, the plating bath,
and the chromating acid bath also could be requested for analysis. The POTV
could request the following analyses by the laboratory: characteristic tests
of the treated wastewater; cyanide, zinc, chromium, and solvent concentrations
of the listed wastes and the treated wastewater; and specific gravity, and
solids content of all wastes.
The POTV selected these analyses to determine whether the wastes to be
received from the metal finisher may be hazardous. The POTV recognizes that
accepting solid wastes from an industrial facility that is also a hazardous
waste generator opens up opportunities for receiving hazardous waste, and is
seeking parameters and/or concentrations of parameters that might work to
identify whether the metal finisher has surreptitiously mixed hazardous and
nonhazardous wastes. The mixture concern is of particular interest with
3-33
-------
regard to the listed wastes. However, the POTW is well-aware that the
wastewater and the listed wastes share the same basic parameters (i.e.,
cyanide, chromium, and zinc) and that a waste monitoring plan aimed specific-
ally at these parameters cannot be expected to distinguish listed waste
mixtures from nonhazardous wastewater. The fact that these parameters are
hazardous constituents does not necessarily mean the waste is a hazardous
waste. Continued inspection of the facility, with emphasis toward the
segregation of hazardous and nonhazardous wastes and a review of facility
hazardous waste manifest records, will be necessary to ensure that the POTW
does not receive hazardous wastes.
The POTW selected laboratory provides the following results to the POTW
regarding the wastes submitted for analysis:
• The vapor degreaser is pure trichloroethylene with traces of ferrous
compounds.
• The cyanide solution is characterized by high concentrations of
cyanide and zinc.
• The chromic acid bath is characterized by high concentrations of
chrome, with lesser concentrations of zinc.
• The treated wastewaters meet applicable pretreatment limits for pH,
chrome, cyanide, zinc, and trichloroethylene. As suspected, the
pretreatment of wastewaters ensures that the wastewater does not test
corrosive.
• As suspected, the wastewater sludges exhibit higher concentrations of
the pollutants above, and a higher solids content than the wastewater.
The sludge did not fail the corrosivity test.
Method Selection and Sampling Program Development
As a result of checking with the State, conducting the onsite audit,
performing the office review of the audit in light of the hazardous waste
identification regulations (explained in Section 2.2 of this document), and
reviewing the results of the sample analyses, the POTW is prepared to set a
two-tiered waste monitoring program. The first tier imposes self-monitoring
requirements on the metal finisher. The second tier is a compliance monitor-
ing program that the POTW will use to detect possible violations of the
hazardous waste discharge ban.
As part of the self-monitoring requirements, the metal finisher is
required to submit results for each of the parameters covered by the categori-
cal standards prior to each discharge event. The metal finisher also is
required to submit pH and solids analyses for each load. The pH measurement
provides for a determination of whether or not the waste is characteristic,
while the solids content may serve as an indicator of mixing wastewater and
wastewater sludges.
3-34
-------
Knowing that the wastes handled at the metal finisher tend to be cor-
rosive, the POTV also should conduct pH tests on each load as part of the
compliance monitoring program. All POTVs should consider sampling for all
constituents of concern and preserving the sample for a time sufficient to
allow for analysis if the discharge results in plant upset of other
operational concerns. These samples should be taken as a precautionary
measure, and need not be analyzed. More specific sampling recommendations are
provided below for large and small POTVs.
Larger POTVs also may conduct a verification of the metal finisher's
analytical results for each of the metals parameters from a subset of dis-
charge events. This can be done most efficiently at the metal finishing
facility and will cost approximately $100 if the POTV has the necessary
equipment and staff. In addition, larger POTVs may want to subject the metal
finishing discharge to a quick scan for organic concentrations, perhaps using
vapor analysis techniques, during each discharge event. This will be particu-
larly helpful in determining whether the vapor degreasing agent, trichloro-
ethylene, has been mixed with the wastewater.
Smaller POTVs may choose to conduct sampling of the metals constituents
at a lesser fequency as a result of their inability to maintain the necessary
analytical equipment and staff onsite. However, low capital cost techniques
such as vapor analysis and checks of solids content may be used prior to each
discharge event. In this way, smaller POTVs may be able to make a rough
determination of any hazardous waste/nonhazardous waste mixing that may have
occurred. The vapor analysis, as above, can be used to make an assessment of
mixing with degreasing agents. A review of solids and metal content may
assist in determining whether the wastewaters were mixed wi.th the listed
wastewater sludges. Smaller POTVs may want to return to the generator to
collect samples (or have the generator discharge into a holding pond), or have
the generator collect the sample of the discharge under POTV supervision, and
analyze the results for the constituents of concern, pH, and solids content.
Since the turnaround time from a commercial laboratory usually will be greater
than the turnaround time from the POTV's laboratory, the laboratory should be
given sufficient notice to allow for scheduling. As shown in Table 3-3,
analytic costs in a "rush premium" situation will be 2-3 times the cost for
analysis at the POTV's laboratory. Therefore, smaller POTVs probably will
restrict their use of outside laboratories.
3-35

4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF POTVs CHOOSING TO ACCEPT HAZARDOUS WASTES
4.1 INTRODUCTION
POTtfs may choose to accept hazardous wastes delivered by truck, rail, or
dedicated pipeline. POTVs accepting these wastes are considered to be
hazardous waste TSDFs and are subject to applicable RCRA regulations.
However, in an effort to streamline the permitting process and to avoid
redundancy with respect to the CVA, RCRA exempts POTVs from individual RCRA
permits incorporating all of the standards of 40 CFR Part 264. Instead, POTVs
are deemed to be subject to RCRA permit by rule provisions which contain the
following requirements [40 CFR 270.60(c)]:
• The POTV owner or operator must have a NPDES permit, issued by EPA or
a NPDES delegated State
• The POTV must be in compliance with its NPDES permit
• The hazardous waste received must meet all Federal, State, and local
pretreatment requirements (e.g., categorical standards, prohibited
discharges, and local limits)
». The POTV must comply with the following RCRA provisions:
- Identification number (40 CFR 264.11)
- Use of manifest system (40 CFR 264.71)
- Manifest discrepancy reporting (40 CFR 264.22)
- Unmanifested waste report (40 CFR 264.76)
- Operating records [40 CFR 264.73(a) and (b)(l)]
- Biennial report (40 CFR 264.75)
- Corrective action if the NPDES permit was issued after November 8,
1984 (40 CFR 264.101) or permit by rule coverage first occurs after
November 8, 1984.
Appendix E lists the permit by rule requirements in greater detail. POTVs
that do not comply with these requirements may not accept hazardous wastes for
treatment, storage, or disposal. Receipt of hazardous wastes by a POTV not in
compliance with permit by rule requirements constitutes a violation of the
4-1
-------
POTW's permit by rule. The remainder of this chapter explains the permit by
rule requirements and POTV obligations under these requirements.
In addition to meeting the statutory and regulatory obligations discussed
in this chapter, POTWs choosing to accept hazardous waste by truck, rail, or
dedicated pipeline may want to impose additional requirements to protect
worker health and plant operations. This chapter does not provide any
guidance in this area. However, readers may want to refer to the discussions
that appear in Chapter 3 regarding legal, administrative, and technical
control measures. Many of these same control measures (e.g., generator
audits, regular sampling) are applicable to POTWs choosing to accept hazardous
wastes for treatment, storage, or disposal. • If a POTV accepts a listed
hazardous waste by these transport methods, the POTW's treatment, storage, and
disposal of the resulting sludge will be governed by RCRA Subtitle C hazardous
waste requirements. POTWs generating such sludges should contact hazardous
waste officials to assess their storage, treatment, and disposal options.
POTWs should be aware that the regulatory requirements described herein
are minimum requirements for POTWs receiving hazardous wastes by truck, rail,
or dedicated pipeline. Other RCRA statutory requirements, e.g. land disposal
ban, may also be applicable as a matter of law if a POTW receives hazardous
waste. Both Federal and State NPDES and RCRA permitting authorities may
impose more stringent requirements on POTWs accepting hazardous wastes for
treatment, storage, or disposal. More extensive effluent sampling require-
ments and additional control parameters (including whole effluent toxicity
testing), among other requirements, might be imposed on permit by rule
facilities. Each of the various permit by rule requirements is discussed
below.
4.2 COMPLIANCE WITH NPDES PERMIT CONDITIONS
4.2.1 Procedure for Determining Compliance
As part of the 40 CFR Part 270.60(c) requirements of a RCRA permit by
rule, a POTW must be in compliance with its NPDES permit. Any violation of a
NPDES permit is sufficient reason for EPA to take joint CWA/RCRA enforcement
4-2
-------
actions. Thus the POTW should make every effort to ensure complete compliance
with all terms and conditions of its NPDES permit. EPA will review the
severity of the violations, and appropriate responses, by analyzing the
nature, cause, and extent of any permit violations. The requirement of "in
compliance with an NPDES permit" is an ongoing obligation. Consequently,
noncompliance with any NPDES permit condition could result in RCRA 3008(a)
enforcement actions for receipt of hazardous wastes in violation of the permit
by rule, as well as CVA enforcement actions.
4.3 COMPLIANCE WITH PRETREATMENT PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The National Pretreatment Program is designed to protect municipal
wastewater treatment plants from the potential adverse effects of industrial
discharges. Specific goals of this program are to:
• Prevent interference with POTW operations that could result from the
introduction of pollutants that are toxic or inhibitory to the
treatment process.
• Prevent the pass through of pollutants to the receiving stream.
Pollutants that are incompatible, or otherwise unaffected by the
treatment processes, could have an adverse environmental impact on the
receiving stream.
• Preserve and improve sludge quality so that the chosen method of
sludge disposal .can be continued and the possibility of more attrac-
tive sludge reuse and recycle options enhanced.
All industrial users discharging to POTWs are subject to National Pretreatment
Program requirements and standards, as set forth in the General Pretreatment
Regulations (40 CFR Part 403). EPA required many municipalities (POTWs) to
develop local pretreatment programs, in pursuit of these goals, to manage and
control effectively all nondomestic wastes discharged to, and subsequently
treated by, their treatment system. Where PQTWs were not required to develop
local pretreatment programs, States with delegated pretreatment program
authority or EPA Regional offices have the primary responsibility to apply and
enforce applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.
4-3
-------
As part of the 40 CFR Part 270.60(c) permit conditions of a permit by
rule, the hazardous waste received from an industrial user by a POTV must meet
all applicable pretreatment standards (i.e., Federal, State, and local).
Therefore, it is the responsibility of the POTV to ensure that any hazardous
wastes received by truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline also meet applicable
pretreatment standards and requirements before discharge is allowed.
Failure of the POTV to ensure compliance with applicable standards and
requirements prior to discharge, or acceptance of hazardous wastes that are
not in compliance with applicable pretreatment standards, can result in
enforcement ac.tions under RCRA Section 3008(a) for violation of the permit by
rule. Further, CVA enforcement actions could be taken against the industrial
user for failure to comply with applicable standards and/or the POTV for
failure to properly implement its approved pretreatment program as required by
the POTV's NPDES permit. Enforcement actions could also be taken against the
POTV for violation of its RCRA permit by rule.
There are three types of discharge limits that may be applied to indus-
trial discharges: prohibitive discharge standards, local^limits, and Federal
categorical standards. Hazardous wastes received by a POTV by truck, rail or
dedicated pipeline must meet all of these standards before discharge into the
POTV can be allowed. Each of the applicable standards is dicussed further
below.
• Prohibitive discharge standards — Prohibitive discharge standards are
required under Part 403.5(a) and (b) of the General Pretreatment
Regulations. The standards specifically prohibit the discharge of
wastes to POTVs that:
- Create a fire or explosion hazard
- Have a pH of less than 5.0
- Contain solid or viscous pollutants that might cause obstructions
to the flow in the POTV
- Have an excessive oxygen demand
- Could cause the temperature at the influent of the treatment plant
to exceed 104°F.
4-4
-------
Under these provisions, wastes that are hazardous because of the
characteristics of ignitability (40 CFR Part 261.21), corrosivity
(40 CFR Part 261.22), or reactivity (40 CFR Part 261.23) may violate
these prohibitions, and as such should not be accepted by the Control
Authority.
Local limits — Local limits are developed by the POTV to protect the
POTV treatment plant operations, sludge quality, and receiving stream.
Since local limits are enforceable as pretreatment standards, any
hazardous wastes discharged to a POTV via truck, rail, or dedicated
pipeline also would have to comply with the local limits set by the
POTV. POTV officials should determine whether the waste being
discharged is a listed hazardous waste and, if so, examine the
hazardous constituent upon which the listing was made (see Section 3.3
for guidance on identification of hazardous wastes). This would
provide an indication of the pollutants for which the wastes should be
analyzed. POTV also should be aware that industrial loading estimates
and subsequent allocations used originally to develop local limits may
change daily based on when a hauled hazardous waste is discharged.
Therefore, POTUs should consider the extreme loading variations that
could be expected to be received from waste haulers when allocating
allowable headworks loadings.
Many local sever use ordinances contain both upper and lower pH
boundaries for acceptable wastes. These augment the prohibitive pH
standard and may lead to the necessary exclusion of additional
corrosive wastes. (Officials should be aware that "P" and "U" listed
wastes also can be corrosive.).
Federal categorical pretreatment standards — Federal categorical
pretreatment standards are specific to each type of regulated industry
and contain discharge limitations for wastewaters generated from
specific regulated industrial processes.
Prior to accepting hazardous wastes via truck, rail, or dedicated
pipeline, POTVs will need to:
- Determine whether the generating industry is covered by a categori-
cal standard
- Determine whether the wastes were generated from a regulated
process
- Identify the appropriate standards that apply to the wastestream
- Establish the industrial production rate associated with the
wastestream (for production-based standards only)
- Establish the necessary sampling protocol to assess compliance with
the categorical standard
4-5
-------
- Sample and analyze the hazardous vaste, or require the industrial
user to perform sampling and analysis, consistent with the estab-
lished protocol, to ensure compliance with applicable categorical
standards.
Information provided by the generating industry may be in the form of an
EPA RCRA hazardous vaste number and a brief hazardous waste description. In
rare instances, this may provide sufficient information; however, POTVs
generally can expect problems in determining the applicability of categorical
standards based solely upon this information.
Some RCRA listed wastes provide a clear indication that the electroplating
or metal finishing regulations could be applicable, such as: wastewater
treatment sludges from electroplating operations, spent cyanide plating bath
solutions, and spent cleaning and stripping solutions from electroplating
processes where cyanide is used in the process. However, in the case of
solvents listed under F-001, F-002, and F-003, the generic descriptions lack
any information that might indicate the type of industrial processes that
generated the wastes. In the case of solvents, this determination is crucial,
as solvents are regulated as "total toxic organics" under several categorical
standards.
POTVs should be aware of the K-listed wastes, which EPA has provided in
groupings according to the generating industry. Once again, the problem in
determining the applicability of a categorical standard based on RCRA informa-
tion alone is the lack of information regarding the specific process that
generated the wastestream.
Having properly identified the categorical waste, sampling protocols must
consider the possible combination of wastestreams, either at the industry, or
for conveyance to the treatment plant. If this is the case, the Combined
Wastestream Formula (CWF), as described in 40 CFR 403.6(e), must be applied to
account for possible dilution. While dilution may be an acceptable method for
treating characteristic properties under RCRA, this cannot be used to achieve ,
compliance with categorical standards. While an industry can be required to
monitor its wastestreams and provide the necessary data for use in the CWF,
4-6
-------
, V
s
problems can arise if the transporter combines loads from different indus-
tries. POTVs must establish regulations and procedures to ensure that any
such occurrence would be predicated upon the sampling and analysis of each
contributing wastestream for all pollutants of concern. EPA's Guidance
Manual, Use of Production-Based Pretreatment Standards and the Combined
Wastestream Formula, (September 1985) provides additional guidance.
4.4 COMPLIANCE WITH RCRA PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
In addition to pretreatment information and reporting requirements, POTVs
must comply with the procedural provisions cited in 40 CFR Part 270.60(c) of
the RCRA regulations to operate under a permit by rule. These provisions are
discussed more thoroughly in the following sections.
4.4.1 EPA Identification Number
All facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes are
required to file a notification of activity and receive an EPA identification
number (40 CFR Part 264.11). POTVs may obtain this identification number by
submitting EPA Form 8700-12. A copy of this form is provided in Appendix F-l.
(Mailing addresses are provided in Appendix G).
4.4.2 Manifest System
The RCRA program establishes a "cradle to grave" tracking system that
accounts for all hazardous wastes from the point of generation to final
treatment, storage, or disposal. Tracking is accomplished through using the
Uniform Hazardous Vaste Manifest (Appendix F-2) or an equivalent State form.
The permit by rule conditions require POTVs to comply with the manifest
regulations for TSDFs (40 CFR Part 264.71-264.72). The manifest system is
originated by the generator, continued by the transporter, and completed by
the POTV. At each step, the appropriate sections of the manifest must be
completed with a copy going to all parties involved in the transaction. To
complete the circle, the POTV must return a copy of the completed manifest to
the generator, while retaining a copy for its records.
4-7
-------
The Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Form 8700-22) requires the
following information:
• The manifest document number
• The name, address, telephone number, and EPA identification number of
the generator
• The name and identification number of each transporter
• The name, address, and EPA identification number of the POTV (includ-
ing the same information for an alternate TSDF)
• The DOT shipping name, hazard class, and waste identification number
• The total quantity of each waste by weight or volume
• The type and number of containers used in transporting the waste
• A certification that the hazardous waste has been properly classified,
described, packaged, marked and labeled, and is in proper condition
for transportation
• A waste minimization certification stating that the generator has a
program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of the waste to the
degree economically practicable to the generator, and that the
proposed method of treatment, storage, or disposal is that practicable
method currently available that minimizes the risk to human health and
the environment.
Upon receipt of a hazardous waste, the POTV owner or operator must:
• Sign and date the manifest
• Note any significant discrepancies in the manifest on each copy of the
manifest (discussed in detail below)
• Immediately give the transporter a copy of the signed manifest
• Send a copy of the manifest to the generator within 30 days after the
delivery
• Retain a copy of the manifest at the facility for at least 3 years
after the date of receipt.
If the waste is transported by barge or rail, it may be accompanied by a
shipping paper in lieu of the manifest. The shipping paper should contain all
4-8
-------
of the information required on the manifest except the EPA identification
number, the generator's certification, and the signatures of the intermediate
transporters. When a shipping paper is used, the generator or initial rail
transporter is responsible for sending three copies of the manifest to the
POTW. If the manifest is not received by the time the waste is delivered, the
POTV must complete the above-mentioned steps using the shipping paper in place
of the manifest.
The POTV is required to note any significant manifest discrepancies on
each copy of the manifest. Manifest discrepancies are differences between the
type and/or amount of hazardous vaste designated on the manifest and that
received by the facility. A significant discrepancy is defined as:
• A difference in weight of greater than 10 percent for bulk shipments
• Any variation in the piece count for batch deliveries
• Any obvious difference in waste type that can be discovered by
inspection or waste analysis.
If a discrepancy is found either prior to or after waste analysis, the owner
or operator must attempt to reconcile the discrepancy with the generator or
transporter. If the discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after the date
of delivery, the TSDF must send a letter to the Regional Administrator that
includes a description of the discrepancy, the attempts to reconcile it, and a
copy of the manifest.
Although the permit by rule regulations do not explicity require a POTV
to undertake a waste analysis of manifested waste, the regulations do require
POTVs to report significant discrepancies. To adequately identify significant
discrepancies it is recommended that, at a minimum, a rudimentary waste
analysis be undertaken. Only then could a POTV protect itself from violating
the permit by rule by failing to report a significant discrepancy.
POTVs subject to a permit by rule are required to file an unmanifested
waste report if hazardous waste is accepted from an offsite source that is not
accompanied by a manifest or shipping paper and is not excluded from the
4-9
-------
manifest requirement by the small quantity generator regulations (see Section
2.3.1. This requirement does not apply to hazardous waste arriving at the
POTW by dedicated pipeline). The report must be submitted to the EPA Regional
Waste Management Division or the authorized State agency on EPA Form 8700-13B
(the Biennial Report Form) within 15 days after receiving the waste. A copy
of this form is provided in Appendix F-3. The Unmanifested Waste Report must
contain the following information:
• The EPA identification number, name, and address of the facility
• The date the waste was received
• The EPA identification number, name, and address of the generator and
the transporter, if available
• A description and the quantity of each unmanifested hazardous waste
received
• The method of treatment, storage, and disposal for each waste
• The certification signed by the owner or operator of the POTW or his
authorized representative
• A brief explanation of why the waste was unmanifested, if known. •
When a facility receives an unmanifested hazardous waste that is pur-
ported to be excluded under the small quantity generator requirements, it is
recommended that the owner or operator obtain a certification from the
generator that the waste qualifies for the exclusion. Otherwise, the owner or
operator should file an unmanifested waste report.
4.4.3 Operating Record
Under the permit by rule conditions, the POTW owner or operator is
required to maintain operating records (40 CFR Part 264.73 (a)-(b)(l)). The
operating record must contain the following information as it becomes avail-
able, until the POTW ceases to engage in the treatment, storage, or disposal
of hazardous waste:
• A description of the type and quantity of each hazardous waste
received
4-10
-------
• The method and dates of hazardous waste treatment, storage, or
disposal at the facility, as per Appendix I of the RCRA regulations.
Appendix I of Part 264 requires each hazardous waste to be described in
the operating record by its common name and, if the waste is listed, by its
EPA Hazardous Waste Number(s) (from Part 261, Subpart D). If the waste is not
listed, the description must include the production process. The record also
must describe the waste's physical form (i.e., liquid, sludge, solid, or
contained gas); the estimated or manifest-reported weight, or volume and
density, where applicable (specified in Table 1 of the Appendix); and the
method(s) of treatment by handling code(s) (specified in Table 2 of the
Appendix).
4.4.4 Biennial Report
Under 40 CFR Part 264.75, owners or operators of TSDFs, including POTWs
with permits by rule, must submit biennial reports to the EPA Regional Waste
Management Division or the appropriate State agency by March 1 of each even-
numbered year. The report, to be filled out using EPA Form 8700-13B (Appendix
D-3), details the facility's treatment, storage, and disposal activities of
the previous odd-numbered year. The following information must be included in
the report:
• The EPA identification number, name, and address of the facility
• The calendar year covered by the report
• The EPA identification number for each generator from which hazardous
waste was received
• A description and the quantity of each hazardous waste received during
the year, listed by the EPA identification number of the generator
• The method of treatment, storage, or disposal for each hazardous waste
• The certification signed by the owner or operator of the facility or
his authorized representative.
4.5 CORRECTIVE ACTION
The November 1984 Amendments to RCRA included a provision (RCRA Section
3004(u)) that requires:
4-11
-------
. . . corrective action for all releases of hazardous waste
or constituents from any solid waste management unit at a
treatment, storage or disposal facility seeking a permit
under this subtitle, regardless of the time at which waste
was placed in the unit. Permits issued under section 3005
shall contain schedules of compliance for such corrective
action (where such corrective action cannot be completed
prior to issuance of the permit) and assurances of financial
responsibility for completing such corrective action.
Under this new requirement, permit by rule POTWs with NPDES permits that are
issued after November 8, 1984, or that are first covered by a permit by rule
after November 8, 1984, are subject to RCRA corrective action requirements
({270.60(c)(3)(7). Unlike the other permit by rule requirements, corrective
action requirements may result in a POTW being subject to substantial costs
associated with treating, storing, and disposing of hazardous waste. Correct-
ive action, under RCRA, encompasses corrective measures to clean up any
release of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents from a solid waste man-
agement unit that may result in hazards to human health or the environment.
Moreover, the requirement is not triggered by whether or not the facility is
in compliance with RCRA and CWA regulations. Potential corrective action
activities include:, initial investigations of the nature and extent of any
releases, (e.g., sinking of monitoring wells and sampling and analysis);
interim measures to control the contamination; necessary corrective measures
(e.g., ground water pumping); and post-corrective measure monitoring and
assessment. Thus, the term corrective action refers not only to actual
cleanup measures, but any actions that may need to be taken prior to actual
cleanup.
The intensity of corrective action requirements will depend on the
severity of any releases of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents (see
Section 2.2.2 for a discussion of Appendix VIII hazardous constituents). The
scope of the requirement is potentially large in that it would cover not only
those units that accepted hazardous waste, but all solid waste management
units (e.g., containers, tanks, waste piles, surface impoundments, landfills,
and perhaps most significant for POTWs, wastewater treatment units). More-
over, it covers not only hazardous wastes, but hazardous constituents from
solid waste management units. For example, EPA could require a POTW to pump
4-12
-------
and treat ground water from an aquifer that was contaminated by hazardous
constituents emanating from the POTV's surface impoundments. Thus, EPA could
mandate cleanup of any solid waste management unit at the POTV that handled
solid wastes, irrespective of whether that unit ever handled hazardous wastes.
At the very least, POTWs likely will be asked to provide background
information on the number of solid waste management units it operates, the
nature of the waste disposed in those units, any evidence of past releases at
those units, and information concerning the amount of waste handled, the
location of the facility, and unit design information. POTVs also may be
directed to conduct more indepth sampling for contamination of soil, ground
water, and surface water and air releases. Finally, corrective measures may
need to be taken. The corrective action process is more fully described in
the Guidance for Implementing RCRA Permit By Rule Requirements at POTWs. The
first phase of corrective action, the RCRA Facility Assessments is more fully
described in the Guidance for Conducting RCRA Facility Assessments at POTVs.

APPENDIX B
EXAMPLE POTV SEVER USE ORDINANCE LANGUAGE
-------
POTVs may wish to consider the following alternatives for sewer use
ordinance language to prohibit the discharge of hazardous wastes to POTV
headworks from a truck, rail, or dedicated pipeline. Three different examples
are provided which address the three major degrees of regulatory control that
may be considered by a POTW: (1) prohibiting the discharge of all hauled
wastes; (2) prohibiting the discharge of wastes from industrial sites; (3)
prohibiting the discharge of wastes containing industrial process waste; and
(4) prohibiting the discharge of hazardous wastes to the POTVs headworks. For
POTVs that choose to permit haulers or generators, additional language is
provided which is applicable to the last three sample ordinances.
1. Example Sewer Use Ordinance Language for Prohibiting All Vaste Discharged
to a POTV by Truck, Rail, or Dedicated Pipeline
"No wastes, including any liquid, solid or septic wastes which are
generated at residential, commercial or industrial facilities, shall be
discharged to the sanitary sewer system by means other than a permanent sewer
connection to the public sewer system and in accordance with the regulations
contained in Section of this ordinance. This includes wastes which are
transported via truck, rail, or any other transportation means. Further the
discharge of hazardous wastes (as defined in Section 1004 of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act) into a pipeline connected to th« public sewer,
which is dedicated to only the discharge of hazardous waste, is prohibited."
2. Example Sewer Use Ordinance Language for Prohibiting Wastes from Industrial
Sites Discharged to a POTV by Truck, Rail, or Dedicated Pipeline
"Haulers of septic wastes removed from residential customers are subject
to the terms and conditions for discharge as contained in Section of this
ordinance. Only septic wastes from residential sewage disposal systems (i.e.,
septic tank waste, cesspool waste) may be discharged into the public sewer
system by waste haulers at the discharge point specified by the (City, County,
Superintendent, etc.). Any wastes, including septic wastes, removed by a
hauler from nonresidential, industrial, or commercial customers are specifi-
cally prohibited, and may not be discharged to the public sewer system.
Discharge of such nonresidential wastes into the public sewer system will
constitute a violation, and will subject the hauler to the penalties provided
for in Section of this ordinance."
B-l
-------
3. Example Sever Use Ordinance Language for Prohibiting Wastes from Industrial
Processes Discharged to a POTW by Truck, Rail, or Dedicated Pipeline
"Haulers of septic vastes (i.e., septic wastes, cesspool waste, portable
toilet waste) removed from residential, commercial, and industrial customers
are subject to the terms and conditions for discharge as contained in Section
_ of this ordinance. Waste haulers must discharge hauled wastes at the
discharge point specified by the (City, County, Superintendent). Wastes from
industrial or commercial sources are prohibited and may not be discharged by a
hauler to the public sewer system. Discharge of such nonseptic wastes into
the public sewer system will constitute a violation of this ordinance, and
will subject the hauler to the penalties provided for in Section _ of this
ordinance."
A. Example Sewer Use Ordinance Language for Prohibiting Hazardous Wastes
Discharged to a POTV's Headworks
"The discharge of hazardous wastes (as defined in Section 1004 of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) into a pipeline connected to the
public sewer, which is dedicated to only the discharge of hazardous waste is
prohibited. The discharge of hazardous wastes to the headwords of the plant
by truck or rail is also prohibited.
5. Example Sewer User Ordinance Language for Requiring a Permit to Discharge
Hauled Wastes
"Any person engaged in the hauling of septage wastes to the public sewer
system shall be permitted to do so. A hauler shall obtain a permit from the
(office, department, etc.). Permitted haulers shall be responsible for
complying with all the terms and conditions contained in the permit, in
addition to Section _ of this ordinance. Any person discharging to the
public sewer system without a permit will be subject to the penalties provided
for in Section of this ordinance."

EXAMPLE VASTE HAULER PERMIT
-------
EXAMPLE WASTE HAULER PERMIT
I. AUTHORIZATION
(Waste Hauler Name)
Located at:(Waste Hauler Address)
Is hereby granted this waste hauler permit in accordance with the
application filed on , 19 , in the office, of (POTW) ,
located at POTV Address . And, in compliance with the provisions
of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended and provisions of
ordinances of the City of and in conformity with plans, specifica-
tions, and other data submitted to the administrator in support of the
application, all of which are filed with and considered as part of this permit
under the following conditions and requirements:
II. DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS
Designated Disposal Point(s)
The waste-hauler must discharge all wastes at the following designated
area: . . Discharge may not
occur without prior notice to the plant operator-and without supervision by
plant personnel.
Use of Waste Tracking System
The waste hauler must use the POTW waste tracking form to record every
load that is pumped and delivered to the POTW. Failure to accurately record
every load, falsification of data, or failure to transmit the form to the
plant operator prior to discharge may result in revocation of this permit or a
fine of up to $ per offense.
POTW Authorization for Hauling Industrial Waste
Any waste which may be identified as a commercial waste or waste from an
industry identified by a SIC number must be presampled prior to pumping, and
the results of that sampling approved; and/or reviewed and determined by the
Administrator of the program to be safe for disposal to the POTW. POTW
C-l
-------
authorization must be presented to the septage hauler by the industry prior to
having waste pumped and hauled. Any industrial waste that is incompatible
with the POTW operations or that violates Federal, State, or local restric-
tions may not be hauled to the POTV.
Sampling of Waste
Prior to discharge of hauled waste the waste hauler shall allow the POTW
operator or a designated representative to sample the waste to ensure com-
pliance with discharge limits and requirements. The hauler may be required to
suspend the discharging of waste until the analysis is complete. The POTW
reserves the right to refuse permission to dump any load that is suspected of
being incompatible or is so determined through sampling and analysis.
Compliance with Categorical Pretreatment Standards
Any waste transported from a industry subject to categorical pretreatment
standards must meet the applicable Federal categorical standards. The gen-
erator must provide proof to the POTW of such compliance, and the POTW must
authorize the hauling of .categorical industrial waste, prior to pumping by the
permittee.
Prohibitive Discharge Standards
The permittee is prohibited from discharging wastes with the following
characteristics [as dictated by 40 CFR 403.5(b)];
• Pollutants that will create a fire or explosion hazard
• Pollutants that will cause corrosive structural damage, but in no case
discharges with a pH lower than 5.0
• Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts that will cause obstruction to
flow
• Oxygen demanding pollutants discharged at a concentration or volume
that will cause interference
• Heat in amounts that will inhibit biological activity; in no case
should discharges cause the POTW influent to exceed 104'F
C-2
-------
\.K • Any other type of waste that may not be treatable by the POTW, or will
.;•'•-. interfere with the operation of the POTW (i.e., oil and grease,
;•'-] radioactive wastes, or toxic and hazardous wastes).
:. • Local Discharge Limitations
The permittee is prohibited from discharging wastes which exceed the
following limitations:
Arsenic mg/1
Cadmium mg/1
Chromium mg/1

•:. fere, or otherwise be incompatible with the operation or maintenance of the
collection system or treatment plant including the use or disposal of
municipal sludge.
Liability Insurance
The permittee must carry liability insurance in such amount and in such
:-" form as shall be determined by the POTV. Such insurance shall afford bodily
injury limits of liability of for each person injured and
for each occurrence. Evidence of such insurance coverage shall
C-3
-------
be provided to the POTW. Nothing herein shall in any manner preclude the
permittee from obtaining such additional insurance coverage as may be deemed
necessary for his or her own protection.
Notification of Change
The permittee must notify the Administrator of any nev introductions or
contributions or any substantial change in pollutants being discharged. Such
notification must include the source of the waste, identification of the waste
being discharged, the nature and concentration of pollutants in the discharge,
time, date, and cause of the change.
Nontransferability
In the event of any change in control or ownership, the permittee shall
notify the FOTV. Also, the new owner shall be notified of this permit and its
limitations to afford the new owner an opportunity to apply for a new permit
without interruption of business or production.
IV. ACTIONS FOR VIOLATION
•

[Comment: The Agency does not intend
that the owner or operator of a facility
whose procedures under I 264.13(c)
include waste analysis must perform
that analysis before signing the shipping
paper and giving it to the transporter.
Section 2M.72(b). however, requires
reporting an unreconciled discrepancy
