II.  REGIONAL ACTIVITIES

          Two Regional Superfund Hotline information service pilot projects are underway in
     Regions II and IX.  The purpose of these services is to address inquiries concerning
     activities at specific Superfund sites.  These information services will also serve as
     the Regional contacts for EPA's new Chemical Emergency Preparedness Program.  The
     following is an update on these Regional services.

  A.  Region IX

          o Peter Werner is the Region IX Hotline Information Specialist.  The toll-free
            number for this service is (800) 231-3075, and the  hours are from 9a.m.-12p.m.

          o The service is operated in association with Region  IX1s Community Relations
            program.  Davis Bernstein is the EPA contact at (415) 974-8071.

          o Peter is working with Region IX to develop a list of sites at which the
            toll-free number will be disseminated.  A limited distribution of the number
            was determined to be the best way to utilize the resource and determine the
            call load and type of questions.  Peter is working  closely with the Region
            IX technical staff to learn about ongoing and planned activities at these
            selected sites.

          o Peter has assisted in Region IX1 s distribution effort for the Chemical Emergency
            Preparedness Program guidance package.  The toll-free number is included with
            the package.

-------
                                              -3-

     o Peter attended seminars on "Reviewing  Uncontrolled  Site/Remedial Action  Technologies,"
       and a National Priorities List  training program.

     o On October 23, Peter visited the Alviso asbestos  site  in California which  is  listed
       on the National Priorities List/and which  is targeted  by EPA for emergency response.
       He handed out fact sheets on and discussed the  Hotline information service.

 B.  Region II

     o Josh Bloom is the Region II Hotline Information Specialist.  The toll-free nunbers
       for this service are:  New York  (800) 732-1223,  New  Jersey  (800) 346-5009.

     o The service is operated in conjunction with Region  II's Office of External Affairs.
       Margaret Randol is the EPA contact  at  (212)  264-4535.

     o Region II has also adopted the  limited sites approach  to the service during the
       initial phase of this pilot project.   Josh is working  with the Superfund technical
       staff in developing a list of target sites.

     o Josh has met with most of  the Superfund technical staff to become familiar with
       the numerous Region II sites.

     o Josh is providing support in developing the  distribution and outreach procedures
       for the information service.


III. SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES

  A. RCRA

  1.  Mining Waste Exclusion Reinterpretation

      Are wastes from secondary slag smelting operations presently excluded from  regulation
      by §261.4(b)(7), the mining waste exclusion?

           EPA has never interpreted the RCRA mining waste exclusion to apply to  any
           secondary smelting wastes.   See the attached  June  19,  1984, letter from the
           Assistant Administrator for  Solid  Waste  and Emergency  Response to Senator Long.
           In fact, the Agency currently lists two  wastes  from secondary smelting operations
           as hazardous wastes.  See 40 CFR 261.32,  Waste  Nos. K069 (emission control
           dust/sludge)  and K100  (waste leaching  solution  from acid leaching of emission
           control dust/sludge).   Significantly,  these listings,  which were originally
           promulgated as part of EPA's May 19, 1980,  list of  hazardous wastes, were
           retained when EPA  temporarily deleted  other listings in response to the October
           21, 1980, enactment of the RCRA mining waste  exclusion.  See the May 20,  1981,
           Federal Register (46 FR 27473).

           The reinterpretation of  the  mining waste  exclusion which EPA proposed  in the
           October 2,  1985, Federal Register  (50  FR 40292) would  not affect the status of
           wastes from secondary  slag smelting operations.  Wastes from secondary slag
           smelting operations would remain subject  to Subtitle C (if hazardous).

2.  Loss of Interim Status                                                                ,

    Owners or operators of land disposal facilities which have interim status prior to
    November 8, 1984, will have their interim status terminated on November 8, 1985,
    unless a Part B permit application is submitted prior to that date and the owners/
    operators certify that the facilities are in compliance with all applicable ground-
    water monitoring and financial responsibility requirements per §270.73(c), of the
    July 15, 1985, Federal Register (50 FR 28753).  The notice of implementation and
    enforcement policy for this provision in the September 25, 1985, Federal Register
    (50 FR 38946), states that to certify compliance a facility must be in "physical
    compliance" with the Federal or State ground-water monitoring and financial responsi-
    bility requirements.  What is "physical compliance" for the Federal ground-water
    monitoring requirements?

        Owners or operators must certify "physical compliance" with applicable ground-water
        monitoring requirements defined in 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart F (see Appendix A, 50
        FR 38949).  "Physical compliance" for purposes of certification under §3005(e) means
        that unless the owner/operator meets the waiver requirements under §265.90, the
        facility must have a ground-water monitoring system which meets all of the specifice
        tions of §265.91.  This system must be physically in place at the unit for which
        certification is required and sampling and analysis under §265.92 must be underway.

 3. Waste Minimization

    Section 3002(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA), as amended, requires that a
    generator sign a certification on the manifest  (EPA form 8700-22) and on the biennial
    report.  The certification states that the generator "has a program in place to
    reduce the volume or quantity and toxicity of such waste to the degree determined by
    the generator to be economically practicable."  If a generator of hazardous waste
    reclaims and reuses some of the hazardous waste on-site and sends the rest off-site
    for recycling, can the generator certify that a waste minimization program is in
    place since the volume of hazardous waste actually disposed of has been minimized?

        The waste minimization provision of SWDA §3002(b) is a self-implementing program
        in which the choice of compliance mechanisms  is to be made by the generator  in light
        of his/her own particular circumstances.  The waste minimization requirement is met
        for the purpose of certification when the generator makes a good faith effort to
        minimize threats to human health and the environment.  EPA has determined that
        various management practices conducted by a generator can be viewed as forms of
        waste minimization, e.g., participation in a waste exchange, recycling of solvents,
        and that these practices are consistent with  the Congressional intent of the require
        ment  (see Senate Report No. 284, 98th Congress, 1st Session 66 (1983)).  These
        activities reduce the volume of waste disposed of by  the individual generator and
        also minimize the overall quantity of hazardous waste disposed of by allowing
        continual  reuse of hazardous substances.  Therefore,  in  the case described  above,
        the generator may sign the certification on the manifest since the generator has
        a waste minimization program  in place.

  4. Permit  Modification

    An  owner/operator has a RCRA permit to store hazardous waste in containers and  tanks.
    The owner/operator also generates hazardous waste on-site.   The owner/operator  intends
    to  construct  an  additional  storage  area  for the purposes  of  storing  hazardous  wastes

-------
                                          -5-

   for 90 days or less.  Wbuld the construction of  this new storage  area  be considered
   an action that would require modification to the facility's  RCRA  permit  (§270.41 or
   §270.42)?

        Construction of the 90-day storage area would  not  require modification of the
        facility's storage permit.  A generator may accumulate  hazardous  waste on-site
        for 90 days or less without a permit or interim status  provided that all §262.34
        requirements are met. The 90-day storage area  provision only applies to hazardous
        waste generated on-site.

        In order to avoid potential confusion regarding construction, modification, and
        permitting, the following suggestions are recommended:

        (a) the owner/operator should contact in writing the appropriate  U.S. EPA
            Regional office or State office, if authorized, and inform both the Director
            and the appropriate enforcement personnel  regarding the  construction of the
            90-day storage area and the  owner/operator's intent to comply with §262.34
            requirements in that area; and

        (b) post a sign or notice in a visible place to identify the 90-day storage
            area to distinguish it fron  the permitted  container area and  storage tanks.

5. Personnel Training During Post-Closure

   The owner/operator of an interim status surface  impoundment  is completing closure.
   All standing hazardous waste liquids  have been removed;  however,  some  hazardous
   waste residues and contaninants will  remain in place.   Therefore,  the  owner/operator,
   per §265.228(c), will provide post-closure care  as  for  a landfill.  There will be no
   active management of hazardous waste  or hazardous waste leachate  during the post-
   closure period.  In the post-closure  permit application which the owner/operator
   must submit, is he required to meet the "personnel  training" requirement listed
   in §264.16?

        The owner/operator of an interim status surface impoundment must  address
        all the information requirements in §270.14 and §270.17.  If  the  post-
        closure permit application does  not include the information  covering training
        programs as required by §270.14(b)(12), the owner/operator must include a
        justification for not meeting this requirement.

        The personnel training requirement of §264.16  is designed primarily to ensure
        the facility's compliance with the requirements of  Part 264.  If  the owner/
        operator of the closed surface impoundment  is  no longer actively  managing
        hazardous waste, then personnel  training may not be required during the post-
        closure operating period.  Post-closure permit guidance, being prepared by
        the Permits and State Programs Division of  the Office of Solid Waste, will
        address technical and administrative requirements  for the post-closure care
        period.  The permit writer continues to have authority  to ask for more infor-
        mation from the owner/operator as the situation may require.

6. Ground-Water Monitoring Well Construction

   A bladder pimp is used instead of  a bailer  to obtain ground-water  samples.  What
   construction material is required  for  the bladder  punp  and the  sample tubing  in the
   well?

        When a bladder punp is used,  it is connected  to a  sample tube that runs  inside
        the well casing to the surface.  The RCRA Ground-Water  Monitoring Technical
        Enforcement Guidance Docunent (Draft)  (Sections 3.2.1 & 3.6) dated August 1,  1985,
        recommends that the well casing,  bladder pump,  and sample  tube be made of Teflon or
        316 stainless steel.  In the  case where  an  existing well is constructed  of different
        materials, this guidance document recommends  that  the enforcement official decide
        if the well allows for the collection  of representative ground-water samples  as it
        is built or whether another well  should  be  built with more inert, resistant
        materials (Section 3.7) adjacent  to  it.

7. Changes During Interim Status

   A hazardous waste storage facility operating  under RCRA interim status standards  (40 CFR
   265) undergoes a corporate reorganization in  which the  original company becomes a  parent
   holding company with five subsidiaries.  There is  no change  in  ownership or operation of
   the facility.  In effect, the company  changes in name only.  Must  the owner/operator
   notify the U.S. EPA of the change?  If so,  what  procedures should  the owner/operator
   follow?

        40 CFR 270.72 and 270.10 address  the changes  during interim status which require
        the submission of a revised Part  A permit application.  Because name changes  are
        not included under these sections, the facility would not  need to submit a revised
        Part A in this situation. Rather, the facility should'notify the Administrator or
        Director .of the clerical change in the permit application  using any reasonable
        method.  For example, the owner/operator could  send a letter  to the Regional
        Administrator to make the appropriate  correction on the Part A application.   Note
        that if the owner/operator name change involves a  facility located in a  State that
        has interim or final authorization to  manage  the hazardous waste program in  lieu of
        the Federal RCRA program, the owner/operator  should contact the State on this issue,
        The State program authorized  by U.S. EPA may  include additional requirements  that
        are stricter or broader than  those of  the Federal  program  (e.g., the State may
        require submission of a revised Part A application).

8. 9nall Quantity Generators, 100-1000 kg/month  generators, and the Manifest

   A small quantity generator  (SQG) of less  than 100  kg/month  sends the waste to a
   facility which is registered by the State to  manage  (store)  solid  wastes.  This
   State-registered storage facility  accepts wastes from other  small  quantity
   generators of less than 100 kg/month and  after collecting enough waste for a  bulk
   shipment (over 1000 kg), sends it  to a facility  for  disposal.

-------
                                            -7-

      (a) Is manifesting required at all in this scenario?  If so, at what point?
      (b) Must the final disposal site be a RCRA permitted disposal facility?
      (c) If the small quantity generators generated between 100-1000 kg/month,  how would
          the scenario be affected?

           (a) No manifesting is required in this scenario.  The hazardous waste itself
               is excluded from regulation under Parts 262 to 265, 270,  and 124, so that
               manifesting is not required of any party who stores, treats, or disposes of
               the waste.

           (b) The final disposal site need not be a RCRA permitted disposal facility.
               Section 261.5(g)(3) allows SQGs to send their waste to a  facility which is
               registered by the State to manage solid wastes and still  remain exempt from
               full regulation.

           (c) If the waste was generated by 100-1000 kg/month generators, manifesting would
               be required to the State-registered solid waste storage facility  as well as  to
               the State-registered disposal facility.  In addition, until March 31, 1986,  the
               waste may be disposed of in a State-registered disposal facility.  After March 3.
               1986, the final disposal site must be a RCRA permitted (or interim status)
               facility.                                                                    *"'"'

B. CERCLA

   CERCLA 103(c) Notification

   1.  In 1985, buried druns containing a CERCLA hazardous substance are discovered at a
       non-RCRA facility.  Is the property owner required by CERCLA to notify EPA or the
       National Response Center (NRC)?

           The property owner must notify either EPA or the NRC depending upon the type of
           substance buried.  If the buried CERCLA substances are hazardous waste, then
           discovery triggers notification obligations under Section 103(c) of CERCLA.
           Section 103(c) requires that any person who owns or operates  a facility not
           regulated under RCRA interim status or a permit at which hazardous substances,
           as defined in Section 101(14)(C) of CERCLA (i.e., RCRA wastes) are or have been
           stored, treated or disposed of, notify EPA.  This requirement applies to all such
           facilities, regardless of the time at which the waste was placed in the ground.

           In addition, the dumping or disposal of any hazardous substance consitutes a
           "release" as defined in Section 101(22) of CERCLA.  If the quantity of substance
           thus disposed is equal to or greater than the appropriate reportable  quantity
           established in 40 CFR 302.4, and was not disposed in a RCRA facility, then the
           release would be subject to the notification requirements of  Section  103(a) and
           103(b) of CERCLA.  In that situation, the property owner, as  the person in charge
           of the facility, must notify the NRC upon discovery of the release.

      Superfund Money and Federal  Facilities

      2. Section 300.66 of the  final  National Contingency Plan (NCP) allows Federal facilities
         to be included on the  National Priorities List  (NPL).  Generally, inclusion on the
         NPL makes sites eligible  for fund-financed remedial action.  Is this true for
         Federal facilities which  are listed?

             No; Section lll(e)(3) of CERCLA prevents the Agency from taking fund-financed
             remedial action at Federal facilities.  Section  lll(e)(3) does clarify, however,
             that certain other expenditures may be made at Federal facilities.
