III. SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES
A. RCRA
1. Treatment Studies and Permits
A generator of hazardous waste would like to send hazardous waste
samples to a facility that will perform innovative treatment studies
on the samples. These "treatability studies" involve investigating
new methods or techniques to change the physical, chemical, or
•biological character or composition of the waste and render the
waste less hazardous, or non-hazardous. What regulations must a
facility comply with if the facility accepts hazardous waste samples
for treatability studies and the facility uses technology for which
Parts 264, 265 and 266 standards have not been promulgated to date?
On September 25, 1981 (46 FR 47426), EPA excluded samples of
hazardous waste from RCRA regulations in Parts 262-270 when
stored, transported and tested for hazardous waste characteristics
or composition. This lab sample exclusion is codified as
§261.4(d). Samples of hazardous waste collected for "treatability
studies" are not included in the §261.4(d) lab sample exclusion.
Therefore, "treatability studies" are subject to RCRA interim
status or permit standards in Parts 264, 265, 266 and 270.
The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) added
Section 3005(g) to provide EPA the authority to issue research,
development and demonstration (RD&D) permits for treatment
activities. The purpose of RD&D permits is to authorize
experimental testing of new hazardous waste treatment technologies
or processes. This new authority has been codified in 40 CFR
§270.65 (50 FR 28752, July 15, 1985). The statute and §270.65(a)
authorize EPA to issue permits for innovative and experimental
hazardous waste treatment technology or process activities,
including those which are not yet subject to RCRA Parts 264.
The EPA is developing Part 264 permit standards for miscellaneous
units (Subpart X) and experimental facilities (Subpart Y). The
Subpart X regulations will provide permit authority for units
that are currently not regulated in 40 CFR Parts 146 and 264.
These units include deep mines, silos, salt mines, thermal
treatment units and open detonation units. The Subpart Y
regulations may replace §270'.65 authority and will provide
permit standards for experimental Facilities. Proposed regulations
for Subpart X are scheduled for publication in the Federal
Register by the Fall of 1986; Subpart Y is expected to be
proposed at a later date.

2. Spent Solvent Listings (§261.31)
A manufacturing facility uses a liquid-liquid extractor in its
production process. An influent water stream bearing the product to
be recovered contacts an influent stream of pure halogenated solvent
flowing countercurrent. The solvent stream preferentially absorbs
the product from the water. The solvent bearing product stream exits
the extractor. Because the solvent is not completely immiscible
with water, the production process yields an effluent stream consisting
of water and solvent at the other end of the liquid-liquid extractor.
If the solvent used in the extraction process is a RCRA listed
hazardous waste when spent, would the water/solvent effluent stream
be RCRA regulated?
No; although extraction constitutes solvent use, the effluent
stream is not a spent solvent covered by the spent solvent
listings in §261.31 as revised on December 31, 1985 (50 FR
53315). The effluent waste water stream became contaminated
with solvent during the actual production process (i.e., during
use of the virgin solvent) resulting from the incomplete
miscibility of water and solvent in the extraction process.
It did not become contaminated as a result of spent solvent
being discharged into it. It, therefore, would not be regulated
as a RCRA hazardous waste, unless such waste stream were listed
as a manufacturing waste in §261.32 or exhibited a characteristic
in Subpart C of Part 261.

3. Financial Requirements/Closure Costs
The regulations under 40 CFR 265.143(a) apply to the use of a trust
fund as a financial assurance mechanism for closure of an interim
status facility. Section 265.143(a)(3) requires the owner/operator
to make annual payments into the fund throughout the "pay-in period."
The "pay-in period" is defined as the 20-year period following July
6, 1982 (the effective date of the regulation per 47 FR 15032) or
the remaining operating life of the facility, whichever period is
shorter. An interim status facility with three surface impoundments
has estimated different closure dates for each unit. If the facility
uses a trust fund for closure/financial assurance, how does it make
adjustments in the pay-in period for the different closure dates?
Do the new closure/financial assurance regulations, effective October
29, 1986 (see the May 2, 1986 Federal Register)(51 FR 16422)), change
these requirements?
Assuming that the estimated closure dates fall before July 6,
2002 for the units, the pay-in period for the facility would
equal the pay-in period for the unit closing last. Specifically,
Section 265.143(a)(3) states that the owner/operator must make
payments into the trust fund "over the remaining operating life
of the facility as estimated in the closure plan...." For
-------
- 6 -
example, if unit A closes in six years, unit B in eight years,
and unit C in ten years, the pay-in period would be ten years.
Closure of the first two impoundments would constitute partial
closure, as defined in §260.10, so that the facility would
continue operating until the last unit closed. A definition
of "final closure" was added to §260.10 by the May 2, 1986
regulations.
The new closure/financial assurance regulations published in
the May 2, 1986 Federal Register (51 FR 16422) do not directly
affect the current pay-in period system. EPA requested Garments
on the system in the preamble to the proposed closure/financial
assurance regulations published in the March 19, 1985 Federal
Register (see 50 FR 11068). Some comuents suggested that the
pay-in period should be as long as the shortest operating life
of a unit at a multiple process facility. EPA believes that
the accelerated pay-in period may be cost-prohibitive for
smaller facilities and discourage owners/operators from conducting
partial closures (51 FR 16438). Presently, EPA will maintain
the existing pay-in period regulations and evaluate the situation
further.

4. Corrective Action in Permits
Section 3004(u) of RCRA requires owners and operators (o/o) of
disposal facilities seeking a permit to conduct corrective action for
all releases of hazardous waste or constituents from any solid waste
management unit (SWMU) at the facility. Are there any situations in
which an interim status facility could avoid corrective action
requirements under §3004(u)?
Any facility that is not required to obtain a permit under
Section 3005(c) of RCRA will not have to meet Section 3004(u).
Interim status units that continue operating will generally have
to obtain permits.
- However, a permit would not be required for an interim status
facility where all units containing hazardous wastes are
tanks or containers, if it continued to operate after converting
to generator status and met the accumulation standards in
40 CFR 262.34.
Permits will also be required for some facilities that close
under interim status. Under 40 CFR 270.l(c), some surface
impoundments, waste piles, land treatment units, and landfills
("land disposal units") must obtain post-closure permits.
- No permit would be required for a closing interim status
facility that has no land disposal units. Units such as
tanks, containers and incinerators do not require post-closure
permits.
-------
- 7 -
- The current version of 40 CFR 270.l(c) requires post-closure
permits for all facilities with land disposal units that
close after January 26, 1983. To implement new Section 3005(i)
of RCRA, EPA recently proposed to change this requirement to
require post-closure permits for all land disposal units that
received waste after July 26, 1982 (see 51 FR 10706). EPA is
considering a further revision to require post-closure permits
for facilities with land disposal units that received waste
after July 26, 1982 or closed after January 26, 1983.
Facilities that would not be required to have post-closure
permits under these criteria will not be subject to Section
3004(u).
Although Section 3004(u) would not apply to closing units that
fall in these three categories, EPA could use authorities under
the closure regulations and Section 3007 of RCRA to investigate
the facility for releases from the closing hazardous waste
units. This investigation could also extend to other potential
sources of contamination at the facility, especially if information
about additional sources were needed to determine whether the
closing hazardous waste units were the sources of any contamination
found. This investigation could be very similar to the RCRA
Facility Assessment (RFA) required under Section 3004(u) for
permitted units. If EPA found a release of hazardous waste, or
hazardous constituents from hazardous or solid waste, it could
order corrective action under the interim status corrective
action order authority in Section 3008(h). Section 3008(h)
orders may be issued both before and after closure.

5. Regulation of Sludges When Reclaimed
Why are some RCRA sludges considered solid wastes and others are
not solid wastes when reclaimed?
To be subject to RCRA Subtitle C jurisdiction, a material must
meet the regulatory definition of a solid waste. Sludges are
defined in RCRA regulations at 40 CFR 260.10 as residues from
treating air or wastewater, or other residues from pollution
control devices. 40 CFR 26l'.2(c) (3) defines sludges which are
listed in 40 CFR 261.31 or 261.32 as solid wastes when reclaimed,
and states that unlisted sludges that are reclaimed are not
solid wastes even if they exhibit a characteristic of a hazardous
waste, provided they are not being accumulated speculatively.
The EPA has structured the regulations so that the EPA must
evaluate sludges individually before determining whether they
-------
- 8 -
are subject to RCRA jurisdiction when reclaimed (see 50 FR 619,
January 4, 1985). The definition of solid waste is limited to
listed sludges to avoid including sludges that are routinely
processed to recover useable products as part of ongoing production
operations. The October 2, 1985 Federal Register (50 FR 40297)
states that: "Nevertheless, sludges can be listed and thus be
solid wastes if they are more waste-like than product-like. EPA
will make this determination on a material-by material basis
considering:
1) How freguently the material is recycled on an industry-
wide basis,
2) Whether the material is replacing a raw material and the
degree to which it is similar in composition to the raw
material,
3) The relation of the recovery practice to the principle
activity of the facility, and
4) Whether the secondary material is managed in a way designed
to minimize loss."

B. CERCLA
1. RCRA Sites on NPL
The National Priorities List (NPL) is used primarily as an informational
tool for use by EPA in identifying sites that may present a significant
risk to public health or the environment. The identification of a site
for the NPL is also intended to guide EPA in determining which sites
warrant further investigation to assess the nature and extent of the
public health and environmental risks associated with the sites, and to
determine what fund-financed remedial actions may be appropriate.
What is the current policy for listing interim status or permitted RCRA
facilities on the NPL?
The original policy, outlined in the preamble of the first NPL,
promulgated on September 8, 1983, stated that facilities that
could be addressed by RCRA Subtitle C corrective action authorities
would not be included on the NPL, but rather would be addressed
under RCRA authorities (48 FR 40662). The corrective action
authorities under RCRA for groundwater contamination at that
time, however, were limited. Corrective action only applied to
"regulated units" which were permitted units subject to Part
264 groundwater monitoring standards (surface impoundments,
waste piles, land treatment areas, and landfills that received
hazardous waste after January 26, 1983). Portions of RCRA
facilities that were not subject to corrective action under
Part 264 could be listed on the NPL.
-------
- 9 -
The preamble of the October 15, 1984 Federal Register reiterated
the September 8, 1983 policy for listing RCRA facilites on the
NPL (49 FR 40324). EPA mentioned that it would reconsider the
policy if new RCRA amendments affected the extent of available
RCRA corrective action authorities.
Since the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 greatly
expanded the RCRA Subtitle C corrective action authorities.
EPA proposed to revise the RCRA-NPL listing policy on April 10,
1985 (50 FR 14117).
The most recent NPL rule, issued June 10, 1986, finalized
three components of the proposed RCRA listing policy (51 FR
21057) and requested comment on several provisions related to
that policy (51 FR 21111). Under the final components, EPA
will list the following categories of facilities:
(1) Facilities owned by persons who are bankrupt;
(2) Facilities that have lost authorization to operate under RCRA
by permit denial under RCRA section 3005(c), or by operation
of RCRA Section 3005(e); and for which there are indications
that the owner or operator will be unwilling to undertake
corrective action.
(3) Sites, analyzed on a case-by-case basis, whose owners or
operators have shown an unwillingness to undertake corrective
action.
The proposed additions to the policy provide categories of sites
where EPA believes RCRA corrective actions may not be effective:
(1) Facilities whose owners or operators have not complied
adequately with an administrative order, judicial action, or
a RCRA permit condition requiring response or corrective action,
(2) Facilities whose owner or operator has not submitted or
implemented an adequate closure plan.

2. Hazardous Substance Release
40 CFR 302.6(a) requires any person in charge of a facility to
report the release of a hazardous substance in a quantity greater
than or equal to the reportable quantity, listed in table 302.4, to
the National Response Center. The definition of "release" in CERCLA
§101(22) includes any leaking, spilling, discharge, disposal, etc.
-------
- 10 -
into the environment. A reportable quantity of a CERCIA hazardous
substance spills inside a building at a manufacturing plant. The
spill then travels down a drain in the facility's wastewater system
and into an open-topped, outdoor wastewater treatment tank on-site.
The hazardous substance does not ccme in contact with the ground or
surface waters. The substance is not volatile. Does this spill
constitute a release as defined in CERCLA §101(22)?
Yes, this spill does constitute a release as defined in CERCLA
§101(22). The preamble in the April 4, 1985 Federal Register
(50 FR 13462) interprets "release into the environment" as any
discharge that is not contained within a building or structure.
EPA's present interpretation of "building or structure" requires
a wholly enclosed structure. If the spill in this case were
contained within the building and remained within wholly enclosed
structures it would not be a release "into the environment",
and, therefore, not reportable. However, in this situation a
reportable quantity of the hazardous substance actually left
the building and entered the open topped wastewater treatment
tank which is not a wholly enclosed structure. Thus, the
release was "into the environment".

(final rule adding 170 sites
to NPL)
Proposed rule and request for conments on redesignatior
of the scrubber water generated by EPA's Combustion
Research Facility (CRF) in Jefferson, AR. Presently,
the CRF burns certain dioxin containing wastes, which
results in the generation of acutely hazardous waste
(H). If the rule is promulgated as proposed, the
scrubber water would be redesignated as "toxic"
hazardous waste (T). All scrubber water that will be
generated from burning dioxin containing wastes would
be managed in accordance with the standards in 40 CFR
Parts 264 and 265 for all other hazardous wasts.
Conments will be accepted until July 3, 1986.
Notice to announce that the Agency has decided not to
issue a research permit to Chemical Waste Management,
Inc. (CWM), Oak Brook, Illinois, for the Vulcanus II,
to conduct a research burn at sea. The Agency made a
tentative determination to issue the proposed research
permit on December 16, 1985, but after reviewing public
comments and the Hearing Officer's recommendations, the
Agency decided not to issue the permit until it
promulgates its proposed Ocean Incineration Regulations
Notice to set forth EPA's interpretation of Section
9003(g) of new Subtitle I of RCRA, as amended. Subtitle
I provides for the regulation of underground storage
tanks. Section 9003(g) of Subtitle I establishes inter:
requirements for underground storage tanks that are
installed between May 7, 1985 and the effective date o1
new tank standards required to be promulgated by EPA
under Section 9003(e).
Notice to announce public meeting on the issues and
options being considered by the Agency in the
development of the revisions to the "Criteria for
Classification of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and
Practices" (40 CFR Part 257). The revisions (as mandate
by HSWA) apply to solid waste facilities that receive
household and small quantity generator hazardous waste:
including municipal waste landfills.
Final rule to revise the existing National Priorities
