III.  SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES

    A.  RCRA


       1.  Corrective Action Orders Under §3008(h)

           The owner/operator of a surface impoundment has managed hazardous wastes
           in the impoundment without interim status or a RCRA permit.  A release
           of hazardous wastes from the impoundment has contaminated surrounding
           soil and groundwater.  Upon discovery of this improper management and
           resultant contamination, the EPA intends to issue a corrective action
           order under Section 3008(h) of RCRA.  Given that the owner/operator
           never an interim status, can the corrective action order be issued?

                Section 3008(h)  authorizes the EPA Administrator to issue
                corrective action orders to address releases of hazardous
                wastes into the environment from facilities authorized to
                operate under Section 3005(e).  This authority extends to
                include those facilities that should have had interim status,
                but failed to notify EPA under Section 3010 of RCRA or failed
                to submit a Part A application.  Accordingly, the corrective       j
                action order can and should be issued to ensure prompt and         !
                thorough clean-up of the site.  (Please see the December 16,
                1985 memorandum from J.  Winston Porter, Assistant Administrator,
                Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, entitled
                "Interpretation of Section 3008{h) of the Solid Waste Disposal
                Act").

       2.  Small Quantity Generator Accumulation

           On March 24, 1985, EPA promulgated regulations allowing a generator
           to operate two distinct on-site accumulation areas for wastes
           generated at different monthly rates (51 FR 1014).

           A generator has two accumulation areas on-site.   In one area, the
           generator stores waste identified as small guantity generator (SQG)
           waste.  According to §262.34(d), an SQG that generates between 100
           and 1000 kg. in a calendar month may store this  waste on-site for up
           to 180 days without a permit or interim status provided that the
           quantity of waste accumulated never exceeds 6000 kg.   The SQG
           waste can be stored for 270 days if it is transported 200 miles or
           more.

           In another area at the same site, the generator  stores large quantity
           generator (LOG)  waste which was produced during  the months the
           generator exceeded the 1000 kg/month limit.   A LQG may store this
           waste on-site for up  to 90 days without a permit or interim status.
           Must the generator count waste stored in his LQG accumulation area
           when determining if the 6000  kg.  accumulation limit is exceeded in
           (S262.34(d)(l))?

-------
                                      - 4 -
         Section 262.34(d) states that a generator who generates greater
         than 100 kg. but less than 1000 kg. of hazardous waste in a
         calendar month may accumulate hazardous waste on-site for 180
         days or less without a permit or interim status provided that,
         among other requirements, the quantity of waste accumulated on-
         site never exceeds 6000 kg.  This provision applies only to waste
         streams produced during calendar months when less than 1000 kg is
         generated.  If more than 1000 kg is generated, it is fully
         regulated as large quantity generator waste.  The 6000 kg cap
         for the SQG waste stream applies to all waste accumulated on-site.
         "On-site" means all contiguous property (§260.10).  The definition
         does not refer to "units" or "accumulation areas".  Therefore,
         the generator must count all waste, including both SQG and LOG
         that is on-site, in order to determine compliance with §262.34(d)(1).

3.  Appeal/Recourse Process for Permit Denial

    An owner/operator (o/o) of an interim status facility is seeking a finalf
    RCRA permit.  If the o/o submits a complete permit application, but      >
    the state or region denies the permit, what procedural recourse or
    appeal process may the o/o follow?  It appears that Part 124 Subparts
    A and E both state procedures to follow for appealing a permit denial.

         If the o/o of an interim status facility submits all necessary
         information, then a final decision to grant or deny the permit
         can be made.  An o/o wanting to appeal a permit denial would
         follow the procedure in §124.19 of Part 124 Subpart A, which
         addresses recourse for permit denial.  This Subpart contains
         procedures for informal hearings.  Briefly, the o/o has a 30-day
         period in which he may request a review by serving a notice to
         the Regional Administrator.

         On the other hand, Part 124 Subpart E outlines a more formal appeal
         process for permit or interim status terminations.  Thus, if the
         o/o of an interim status facility fails to submit adequate infor-
         mation for a final permit application, then its interim status
         could be terminated, and the Agency would follow the appeal
         procedures in Subpart E.  Generally, the formal or "evidentiary"
         hearing of Subpart E is applicable to RCRA facilities only where
         there has been a termination of a permit based upon a RCRA violation
         or the termination of interim status based upon a failure to submit
         information necessary to make a final permit decision.

4.  UST Regulated Substances

    The Underground Storage Tank (UST) program applies to underground
    tanks holding regulated substances.  Regulated substances include
    petroleum and "any substance defined in Section 101(14) of the
    Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
    Act of 1980 (but not including any substance regulated as a
    hazardous waste under Subtitle C of the Resource,  Conservation, and
    Recovery Act, as amended)" per 40 CFR 280.1 (50 FR 28755).  A substance
    which exhibits a "hazardous waste characteristic"  and which is not a
    petroleum fraction is stored in an underground tank.  The substance
    is excluded from RCRA regulation under 40 CFR 261.2(e)(ii) because
    it will be reused as a substitute for a conmercial chemical product.
    Must the owner notify EPA of this underground tank under §280.3?

         No, the owner of this tank is not reguired to notify EPA because
         in this case the underground tank does not contain a regulated
         substance.  The characteristic material in this tank does not
         meet the definition of a RCRA solid waste under §261.2(e)(ii)
         since it is reused as a substitute for a commercial chemical
         product.  If a material is not a solid waste  under RCRA, it
         cannot meet the definition of a hazardous waste under §261.3.
         Since this characteristic material is not a RCRA hazardous
         waste and is not specifically listed on the CERCLA hazardous
         substance list in 40 CFR 302.4, it is not a CERCLA hazardous
         substance.  Hence it is not a regulated substance under the UST
         program and a tank containing this substance  and no other
         regulated substance is not subject to notification under §280.3.

5.  Delisting

    A petroleum refinery obtained interim status in 1980 for a surface
    impoundment used to treat and store K051.  The facility manages no
    other hazardous waste.  In 1981, the EPA granted a delisting for
    the K051 waste because the owner/operator proved that the refining
    process waste did not contain lead and hexavalent  chromium, the
    constituents for which K.051 was listed.  Does the  K051 delisting
    effectively mean that the facility never managed a listed hazardous
    waste?  How would the delisting affect the facility's interim status?

         A person may submit a petition to EPA, pursuant to 40 CFR
         §§260.20 and 260.22, to have a waste at a particular facility
         delisted.  Prior to September 21, 1985, EPA granted only
         "informal" or temporary exclusions.  "Informal" exclusions
         were suggestions to the Regions that enforcement discretion be
         used when a tentative decision to grant a temporary exclusion
         had been made.  Temporary exclusions removed  a waste at a
         particular facility from regulation, pursuant to 260.22(m)
         (then in effect, see 50 FR 28727-28, July 15, 1985).  EPA
         follows the procedures set forth in 40 CFR §260.20 to grant
         final exclusions, which are regulatory amendments.

-------
                                      - 6 -
          Wastes which were informally excluded were technically still
          hazardous wastes.  An impoundment holding informally excluded
          K051 waste was subject to the Loss of Interim Status provisions
          on November 8, 1985.

          For temporarily excluded wastes,  the facility's status depends
          on the scope of the temporary delisting granted.   If only the
          waste generated after the date of the temporary exclusion was
          delisted, waste placed in the impoundment prior to that date
          would still be hazardous (K051) waste.  The impoundment would
          have had interim status and should have met Part 265 standards.
          The Loss of Interim Status provision applied to the impoundment
          on November 8, 1985.

          If the temporary exclusion covered the waste already in the
          impoundment as well as K051 waste generated after the exclusion
          date, then the facility would still have interim status, but
          none of the Part 265  interim standards would apply to that
          surface impoundment.   The facility would technically have been
          subject to the Loss of Interim Status provision, but not
          required to certify compliance with financial responsibility or
          ground water monitoring requirements, since none of these Part
          265 requirements were "applicable," or to submit a Part B
          permit application on November 8, 1985, (50 FR 38947, September
          25, 1985).

          If EPA revokes the temporary exclusion, or it ceases to be in
          effect by operation of law, e.g., if the Agency does not make
          a final decision on the petition by November 8, 1986, (RCRA
          §3001(f)(2)(B)), the  facility will become subject to the Part
          265 interim status requirements.   The facility must then
          certify compliance with financial responsibility and ground
          water monitoring requirements and submit a Part B permit
          application within 12 months or lose interim status (RCRA
          S3005(e)(3».

6.  Land Disposal Ban

    A petrochemical company generates a solid waste that contains traces
    of naturally occurring benzene and toluene  [The waste is quenching
    oil].  Would the presence of these hazardous constituents prohibit
    the generator from land-disposing this waste?

         Section 3004(e) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by
         Section 201 of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of
         1984, prohibits land disposal of certain RCRA hazardous wastes.
         On January 14, 1986, (51 FR 1602), EPA proposed that the spent
         solvents, F001 through F005, be among those wastes banned from
         land disposal  (§268.30(b), 51 FR 1763).  Both spent toluene
         and spent benzene (added to F005 on February 25, 1986, 51 FR
         6537) are listed  in the F005 group, but only when they meet
         the listing as spent solvents.

-------
                                      - 7 -
         The --quenching oil does contain the hazardous constituents of
         concern, namely benzene and toluene, but does not meet the
         listing of F005.  The oil does not contain spent benzene or
         toluene used for solvent purposes.  Accordingly, the oil would
         not be banned from land disposal by the proposed §280.30.  The
         spent quenching oil, however, would be subject to other bans on
         the disposal of bulk and noncontainerized hazardous (if it
         exhibited a characteristic) and non-hazardous liquid wastes in
         landfills (§264.314(a), 50 FR 28748, and §264.314(e), 50 FR
         28749; §265.314(b), and (f), 50 FR 28750).  In the future, the
         quenching oil may also be listed as RCRA hazardous waste F030,
         depending on the outcome of the rule proposed on November 29,
         1985 (50 FR 49170).  Within six months of that listing, EPA
         would have to make a decision on whether used oil should be
         banned from land disposal per §3004(g)(4).

7.  Corrective Action for UIC Wells

    The owner of a hazardous waste underground injection well is
    applying to his State for a UIC permit after November 8, 1985.
    Section 3004(u), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste
    Amendments of 1984, stipulates that a RCRA permit issued after
    November 8, 1984 must require corrective action for all releases
    of hazardous waste or constituents from any solid waste management
    unit at a treatment, storage, or disposal facility.  Must corrective
    action be addressed in the UIC permit?

         Section 270.60(b), regarding permit-by-rule regulations for
         UIC wells was amended in the final codification rule (50 FR
         28752) to require compliance with corrective action regulations
         under §264.101.  The proposed codification rule of March 28,
         1986 restates that a UIC permit issued after November 8, 1984
         is not a RCRA permit-by-rule until corrective action requirements
         have been met for all solid waste management units at the
         facility (51 FR 10714).  A memorandum dated April 9, 1986,
         from Michael Cook (Office of Drinking Water) to the Regions
         further clarifies this point by stating that a UIC permit is a
         RCRA permit-by-rule when corrective action has been addressed
         for the entire facility.

         Corrective action for the well only will be addressed in the
         UIC permit.  If there are other RCRA units at the facility,
         corrective action for those units will be addressed in a RCRA
         permit, when it is issued.  If there are no other RCRA units
         requiring a RCRA permit, then corrective action for any other
         solid waste management units will be addressed in the UIC
         permit.

CERCIA

  1.  Endangerment and Exposure Assessments

      What is the difference between an endangerment assessment and an exposure
      assessment under CERCLA?

           An endangerment assessment must be conducted for all CERCLA
           enforcement sites.  At a minimum, it should establish the
           potential health and environmental threats of the site in the
           absence of response action.  One component of the endangerment
           assessment is the exposure assessment which evaluates the
           extent and duration of human exposure to site contaminants.
           The Endangerment Assessment Handbook describes the endangerment
           assessment process in detail and explains its relationship to
           other types of assessment.  Endangerment assessments may also
           be done to support a RCRA §7003 enforcement action.

  2.  CERCLA Section 108(b)                                                   f

      Section 108(b) of CERCLA states that:  "Beginning not earlier than 5
      years after the date of enactment, the President shall promulgate requirements
      (for facilities in addition to those under Subtitle C of the Solid Waste
      Disposal Act and other Federal law) that classes of facilities establish
      and maintain evidence of financial responsibility consistent with the
      degree and duration of risk associated with the production, transportation,
      treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous substances."  Has the EPA
      proposed any regulations to implement these financial requirements?

           No, the EPA has not proposed any regulations in order to implement
           financial assurance requirements under §108(b)(l) of CERCIA.  EPA
           did, however, ask for cements on identifying the classes of
           facilities for which financial requirements would be developed
           (48 FR 21598).

3.  CERCIA "Hazardous Substances

    What mechanism exists for adding hazardous substances to the CERCIA list?

         Currently , the hazardous substance list is found in 40 CFR 302.4.
         As provided in Section 101(14) of CERCIA, the list of hazardous
         substances contains substances regulated under RCRA, CWA, CAA,
         and TSCA.  Whenever the Agency designates new substances under
         any one of those statutes, the substances automatically become
         CERCIA hazardous substances by operation of Section 101(14).

         EPA has authority under §102 (a) of CERCIA to designate additional
         hazardous substances "which, when released into the environment,
         may present substantial danger to the public health or welfare
         or the environment..." On May 25, 1983 the Agency published an
         advance notice of proposed rulemaking on procedures to designate
         additional substances under Section 102 (48 FR 23602).  However,
         the Agency has not gone final on these procedures.  Thus,
         there are currently no procedures in place for the addition of
         new substances to the list under CERCIA.  Additions to the
         list must occur through designation under other statutes.
         The Agency is currently in the process of developing the
         designation procedure and will, in particular, be studying the
         designation under Section 102 of the acutely toxic chemicals
         identified by EPA's Chemical Emergency Preparedness Program
         (CEPP).  The CEPP focuses on chemicals that meet EPA's criteria
         as being acutely toxic (i.e., that can cause death or injury in
         the event of an accidental air release) .   The list of approxi-
         mately 400 acutely toxic chemicals, the criteria and EPA's
         interim guidance on developing contingency plans for releases
         is available in one document entitled "Chemical Emergency
         Preparedness Program Interim Guidance," November 1985.  The
         document is available from the CEPP hotline at (800) 535-0202
         or (202) 479-2449.
