III. SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES
A. RCRA
1. Small Quantity Generators/Parts Washers/Waste Counting
An owner/operator (o/o) of a service station leases a parts washer
containing mineral spirits from the Safety-Kleen Corporation. The
o/o uses the mineral spirits on a daily basis to degrease parts
on-site. The spent mineral spirits exhibit a flash-point less
than 140° F. The o/o's written contract with Safety-Kleen requires
Safety-Kleen to collect the mineral spirits for reclamation and to
deposit regenerated or new mineral spirits at the service station
every eight weeks. The o/o is a "100-1000 kg/mo generator" of
hazardous wastes.
-------
- 4 -
When, if ever, do the o/o's mineral spirits become regulated as a
hazardous waste? According to the revised small quantity generator
regulations which appeared in the March 24, 1986 Federal Register,
are the mineral spirits counted in determining the amount of
hazardous waste generated?
Section 261.4(c) exempts "[a] hazardous waste which is
generated...in a manufacturing process unit or an associated
nonwaste-treatment-manufacturing unit" from regulation under
Parts 262 through 265 and the notification requirements of
Section 3010 of RCRA. The material is only subject to
regulation when it is removed from the unit in which it was
generated or if the material remains in the unit for more than
90 days after the unit ceases to be operated for manufacturing
purposes. In this specific case, the parts washer leased from
Safety-Kleen is functioning as a manufacturing process unit.
The parts washer is a containerized unit used in degreasing
operations. Therefore, the mineral spirits will not be subject
to regulations under Parts 262-265, 270, 271, 124, and Section
3010 until they are emptied from the parts washer container
or until they remain within a nonoperational parts washer for
more than 90 days, whichever occurs first.
Under the March 24, 1986 rules, waste exempt from some regulations
under §261.4(c) are not counted. As long as the waste is exempt
under §261.4(c), it need not be counted. However, the mineral
spirits would be counted in determining the amount of hazardous
waste generated on-site as soon as the mineral spirits are
removed from the parts washer unit or after they remain in the
non-operating unit for more than 90 days. If the mineral
spirits remain within the parts washer unit for 90 days or
less after the unit ceases operation, then they will not be
counted towards the quantity determination of the service '
station o/o.

2. Interim Status and SQGs
A small quantity generator (SQG) has been treating hazardous waste on-site
in compliance with 40 CFR 261.5(g) since May 1980. During the month of
January 1986, the generator produced more than 1000 kgs. of hazardous
waste, exceeding the quantity limitation for SQGs. Now, the hazardous
waste must be managed as large quantity generator waste according to 40
CFR Part 262. The hazardous waste must be sent off-site or managed on-
site at a facility which is RCRA permitted or in interim status. Since
the generator has been a SQG up to this point, the generator never
obtained interim status for his SQG waste treatment facility. Can the
generator now obtain interim status in order to continue treating the
waste on-site?
-------
- 5 -
According to Section 3005(e) of RCRA, any owner/operator (o/o)
may obtain interim status if the o/o meets three requirements,
and has not already been denied a permit. The first requirement
the o/o must meet is to be in existence on November 19, 1980,
or on the effective date of regulatory changes which first
render the facility subject to the permit requirements. The
above mentioned generator meets this requirement because the
facility was treating hazardous waste on November 19, 1980
even though the o/o was not subject to substantive regulations.
The second requirement the o/o must meet is to comply with
Section 3010 of SWOA. Section 3010 required the o/o of a
treatment, storage, or disposal facility to submit a
notification of hazardous waste activity form within 90 days
of the date when the hazardous waste first became subject to
regulation. Because small quantity generators were exempted
under 40 CFR 261.5 from the 3010 notification requirement,
this o/o need not have submitted a 3010 notification in order
to obtain interim status per 40 CFR 270.70.
Finally, Section 3005(e) requires the o/o to submit a permit
application. Where, as here, the facility becomes subject to
RCRA permitting due to changes at the facility, not regulatory
action, 40 CFR 270.10 requires the o/o to submit Part A of
the permit application within 30 days of the date the facility
first becomes subject to 40 CFR Parts 265 or 266.

3. Treatment Without A Permit
A facility generates a waste that is in powder form and which exhibits
the characteristic of EP toxicity. The waste is stored in a tank
pursuant to the standards specified in 40 CFR 262.34. When the tank
is partially full, the generator pours in sand, and mixes the contents
of the tank until a homogeneous mixture is formed. The sand dilutes
the original waste. The resulting mixture no longer exhibits a
characteristic of a hazardous waste. How is the generator regulated
under RCRA? Can the State in which the facility is located require
the facility to get a permit?
Under federal law, if the facility did not accumulate the waste
for longer than the applicable time period specified in §262.34
(90 days), then the facility would only have to comply with the
applicable provisions of §262.34. Rendering a characteristic
hazardous waste non-hazardous by dilution is treatment; however,
such treatement does not require a permit if §262.34 is followed.
The EPA clarified this interpretation in the March 24, 1986
Federal Register which states, "Of course, no permitting would
be required if a generator chooses to treat their hazardous
waste in the generator's accumulation tanks or containers in
conformance with the requirements of §262.34 and Subparts J or I
-------
- 6 -
of Part 265. Nothing in §262.34 precludes a generator from
treating waste when it is in an accumulation tank or container
covered by that provision. Under the existing Subtitle C
system, EPA has established standards for tanks and containers
which apply to both the storage and treatment of hazardous
waste...the Agency believes that treatment in accumulation
tanks or containers is permissible under the existing rules,
provided the tanks or containers are operated strictly in
compliance with all applicable standards." (51 FR 10168)
States with existing standards may administer and enforce them
as a matter of State law. Further, a State with the appropriate
authorization could require a generator that treats hazardous
waste in a tank to operate under a RCRA permit or interim status
if the requirement was incorporated in the State's approved
program.
Of course, a non-listed characteristic hazardous waste that is
treated so that it no longer exhibits a characteristic of
hazardous waste need not be disposed of at a RCRA. Subtitle C
facility, instead, the waste could be disposed of at an approved
State or local facility according to applicable Subtitle D
standards.

4. Corrective Action
The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 contain several
corrective action provisions. Section 3004(u) requires that permits
contain provisions for corrective action and financial responsibility
for implementing such corrective action. Amended Section 3004(a)
of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA) authorizes regulations on
financial assurance for corrective action. Does this financial
responsibility requirement extend to amended Section 3004(v),
corrective action beyond the facility boundary?
Yes, the proposed codification rule dated March 28, 1986 (51 FR
10714) explains that the financial responsibility requirement
extends to corrective action beyond the facility boundary.
Proposed Section 264.101(c) codifies this requirement. The
final closure rule, issued on May 2, 1986 (51 FR 16422),
contains some financial responsibility provisions, but does
not contain specific provisions for corrective action. The
Agency will address the specific requirements for financial
responsibility for corrective action in a separate proposal
due out in September 1986.

5. Hazardous Waste Export Rule
A generator of spent lead-acid batteries will send the batteries to
Taiwan for reclamation. The batteries exhibit the characteristic of
EP toxicity, as defined in §261.24 for lead contamination. What
RCRA regulations pertaining to export notification and/or record-
keeping is the generator subject to currently? What regulations
would the generator be subject to under the hazardous waste export
regulations as proposed in the March 13, 1986 Federal Register
(51 FR 8744)?
Section 266.80 of the current RCRA regulations (applicable to
reclaimed spent lead-acid batteries) states that "[p]ersons who
generate, transport, or collect spent batteries...but do not
reclaim them are not subject to regulation under Parts 262
through 266..." Export notification requirements are presently
found in §262.50 and generator recordkeeping requirements are
in §262.40. Since this generator is exempt form Part 262, he
is then not subject to the export notification or recordkeeping
requirements.
The hazardous waste export regulations, as proposed, would
not alter the current exemption in §266.80. However, EPA
anticipates making a final regulatory determination on this
issue and all other hazardous waste export regulations in late
July 1986.

6. Spent Solvents
A company uses methylene chloride to remove varnish from pieces of
equipment. The varnish is stripped off in clumps and is collected
in a container with the methylene chloride. The clumps of varnish
are removed from the methylene chloride, and the methylene chloride
is used again for more stripping. Would the clumps of varnish be a
hazardous waste when disposed?
When methylene chloride is used as a solvent/stripper and
becomes spent through use, then it is a listed hazardous waste,
F002 (§261.31). When the clumps are removed from the methylene
chloride (F002), they become a new solid waste. If intended
for disposal, the clumps would be considered F002 because of
the "derived from rule" in §261.3(c)(2)(i), which states that
any solid waste generated from the treatment of a hazardous
waste is still a hazardous waste. Once the clumps are removed,
the once-spent methylene chloride would then be reclaimed and
would no longer be regulated as F002.

B. CERCIA
1. Decision Documents (RODs, NDDs, and EDDs)
A remedial action at a CERCIA site requires the preparation of a
decision document following completion of the remedial investigation
and feasibility study (RI/FS). The decision document describes the
recommended remedy for the site and details compliance with the
National Contingency Plan (NCP) and CERCIA. There are three types of
decision documents, including the Record of Decision (ROD), the
Enforcement Decision Document (EDO), and the Negotiation Decision
Document (NDD). What are the major differences among the ROD, EDO
and NDD?
An NDD presents a number of options to be considered during
negotiations, while an ROD or EDD delineates a selected remedy
and summarizes options which were not selected. Additionally,
the NDD is always Enforcement Confidential, which means that it
is not available to the public.
A ROD is prepared when the remedial action is Fund-financed
(pursuant to CERCIA §104), whereas the EDD is prepared when the
remedial action is enforcement-lead (pursuant to §106). In
some cases, a Negotiation Decision Document (NDD) precedes the
EDD. The NDD describes various alternatives in the negotiation
stage of an enforcement-lead action. Some regions choose to
brief Regional Administrators on the negotiation process rather
than to prepare an NDD. Another use for RODs is for certain
removal actions (e.g., IRMs) which include transportation and
disposal of waste off-site.
RODs and EDDs are public documents. Approved RODs are presently
available through the National Technical Information Service
(NTIS) and the Environmental Law Institute. EPA will soon
determine how EDDs will be available. A more detailed discussion
of RODs, NDDs, and EDDs can be found in the memorandum,
"Preparation of Decision Documents for Approving Fund-Financed
and Potentially Reponsible Party Remedial Actions under CERCIA,"
dated February 27, 1985, and the May 19, 1986 issue of Superfund
Record of Decision Update.

2. Releases to POTW's
A production facility spills a hazardous substance listed in 40 CFR
302.4. This substance goes into a drain through a sewer to a Publicly
Owned Treatment Works (POTW). The POTW does not have a program approved
under Sections 402 or 307(b) or (c) of the Clean Water Act (CWA).
a) Is the release of a hazardous substance into a sewer considered
a "release into the environment?"
b) If the release is "into the environment," is it a federally
permitted release?
-------
- 9 -
Hazardous substance releases in areas that are not completely
enclosed are considered to be releases "into the environment,"
consistent with the purpose of CERCLA notification to ensure timely
reporting of releases which may require a government response.
Because a sewer is not a totally enclosed structure, a
hazardous substance which is spilled into a sewer is considered
a "release into the environment."
One of the exemptions from Section 103 reporting requirements is
for federally permitted releases. The definition of federally
permitted release in CERCIA Section 101(10) specifically indentifies
releases permitted under other environmental statutes, including:
o Ihe introduction of any pollutant into a publicly owned treatment
works (POTW) when (1) such pollutant is specified in and in
compliance with pretreatment standards of Sections 307(b) and (c)
of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and (2) the pollutant is specified in
and in compliance with enforceable requirements in a pretreatment
program submitted by a state or municipality for EPA approval
under Section 402 of the CWA.
In this case, the POTW does not have an approved program; therefore,
the release is not federally permitted. If the amount of substance
spilled exceeds its reportable quantity as described in Section
302.4, the facility owner/operator must notify the National Response
Center (NRC) as required by Section 302.6.
