I.  ACTIVITIES

    A.  The hotline  responded to 7,929 questions and requests for documents  in
        September.

    B.  Geo/Resource Consultants hired four new Information Specialists who  began
        work on the  Hotline in September.  They are Deborah McKie, Joseph Nixon,
        Randall Eicher, and Christopher Bryant.  They are now taking the Hotline
        training course, which is being conducted by all Hotline staff.   They
        will conpLete  their training course October 24.

    C.  On September 11, several Information Specialists attended the public
        meeting on Domestic sewage.

    D.  Pat Conn attended a CERCLA Early Enactment Workgroup Meeting on September
        10.  The Hotline will continue to stay in close contact with EPA staff  to
        determine how  to answer questions as the reauthorization process continues.
        The number of  calls on reauthorization continues to go up slightly from
        month to month.

    E.  Matt Straus  met with the Hotline staff at noon on September 24.   He  spoke
        with the Information Specialists in two groups since half were on the
        phones, to address questions they have been collecting on waste identification.

-------
      F.  Some Information Specialists attended the September 26 meeting on "On-site
          degradation of Hazardous Waste."

      G.  The Hotline is preparing a detailed list of statutory deadlines coming up
          shortly,  other scheduled program regulations,  and key program areas in RCRA.
          We will use this as the basis for scheduling briefings with EPA staff.  A
          copy is attached for your review.   Contact Bill Rusin if you have additions.
          We will soon begin a similar list and scheduling process for CERCIA and UST.

      H.  The number of questions on the land disposal ban continues to increase, as

B.
o  Rick assisted the New Jersey Remedial Branch  in  editing SODS and
   Responsiveness Summaries for several CEBCLA sites.

o  Several callers inquired about  the  status  of  the Helen  Kramer Landfill
   site.  They were concerned about  the status of the  remedial design and
   schedule of site activities.  There was  also  some concern  that  the land-
   owner is still dumping on site.   Rick brought this  to the  attention of
   the Superfund Community Relations Director.   As  a result,  a meeting has
   been arranged for a site update on  October 28.

III.  SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES
      A. RCRA
       1.  Hazardous Wastes Listed Solely for Subpart C Characteristics

           Certain listed hazardous wastes (e.g.,  F003, K044,  K045,  and K047)
           are listed solely because they exhibit a characteristic specified in
           40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C.   The Subpart C hazardous  waste characteristics
           are ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and EP toxicity.

           (a) If analysis indicates that a mixture of one or more of these
           listed wastes with a non-hazardous solid waste does not exhibit a
           Subpart C characteristic, can the mixture be managed  as a non-hazardous,
           solid waste based on language in 40 CFR 261.3(a)(2)(iii)?  40 CFR
           261.3(a)(2)(iii) states that a mixture of a solid waste and a hazardous
           waste that is listed in Subpart D solely because it exhibits a Subpart C
           characteristic is a hazardous waste unless the resultant mixture of
           a solid waste and a hazardous waste no longer exhibits any characteristic
           of hazardous waste identified in Subpart C.

           (b) Is the resultant mixture subject to the delisting requirements
           of 40 CFR 260.22(c)?  40 CFR 260.22^c)(2) requires that the EPA
           determine whether additional factors (including additional hazardous
           constituents listed in Part  261 Appendix VIII)  other  than those for
           which the waste was listed could cause the waste to be a hazardous
           waste.

           (c) If a waste which is listed solely because of a characteristic
           dilute when generated that it does not exhibit a subpart C
           characteristic, can it be managed as a non-hazardous  waste based on
           40 CFR 261.3(a)(2)(iii) or is it subject to the delisting requirements
           of 40 CFR 260.22(c).

                (a) Yes; the mixture of a non-hazardous solid waste with a listed
                hazardous waste, listed solely for a Subpart C characteristic,
                is not regulated as a hazardous waste if the resultant mixture
                does not exhibit any Subpart C characteristic.

                (b) No; the more stringent delisting criteria of 40  CFR 260.22(c)(2)
                do not apply to mixtures of solid and hazardous  wastes where 40
                CFR 261.3(a)(2)(iii) applies.

                (c) The dilute waste is subject to the delisting requirements
                of 40 CFR 260.22(c).

2.  Export of Hazardous Waste

    A generator plans to send an unlisted, characteristic by-product to
    a reclamation facility in Mexico.   How do the new hazardous waste export
    regulations, effective November 8,  1986,  apply to the export of this
    recyclable material?

          The hazardous waste export regulations are in 40 CFR Part 262,
          Subpart E.   Revised export regulations, effective November 8, 1986,
          require notification of the Administrator, consent from the
          receiving country, special manifesting procedures, recordkeeping,
          exception reporting and submittal to EPA of an annual report for
          the export of most hazardous  wastes.  (See sections 262.52-262.57,
          promulgated in the August 8,  1986 Federal Register, 51 FR 28664.)
          According to §261.2(c)(3), Table 1, characteristic by-products
          are not defined as solid wastes, and thus not hazardous wastes,
          when destined for reclamation.   Therefore, the characteristic
          by-product is not subject to  Part 262, Subpart E, because it
          is not a hazardous waste.  The  burden of proof, however, is on
          the exporter to demonstrate and document that the material to be
          recycled is not a solid waste (§261-.2( f)).  The exporter should
          be able to demonstrate that there'is a known market or disposition
          for the material.  A copy of  a  recycling contract, records
          describing the Mexican reclamation facility, and/or evidence that
          the facility has a license or approval from the Mexican government
          would also support the exporter's claim that the recyclable material
          is not a solid waste (see 51  FR 28670).

 3.  Hazardous Waste Tank Closure and Post-Closure

     The owner/operator (o/o)  of an interim status underground hazardous
     waste storage tank plans to close the tank.   During the operating
     life of the tank,  hazardous waste leaked and contaminated under-
     lying soils.  What regulations apply in this situation?

          EPA published a final rule regulating tanks holding hazardous
          waste in the  July 14, 1986 Federal Register (51 FR 25422).   EPA
          revised the standards for hazardous waste tanks, effective
          January 12, 1987.  EPA stated that if an o/o demonstrates that
          all contaminated soils cannot be practically removed or
          decontaminated as required in 40 CFR 265.197(a), then the o/o
          must close the tank system as a  landfill (51 FR 25484).  The
          o/o must perform post-closure care in accordance with the closure
          and post-closure care requirements that apply to landfills
          (40 CFR 265.310).  The tank o/o must meet all of the requirements
          for landfills specified in Subparts G and H of Part 265 with
          regard to closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility.

-------
         Under the landfill closure and post-closure requirements (40 CFR 265.310),
         the o/o must comply with all post-closure requirements contained in 40
         CFR 265.117 through 265.120 including maintenance and monitoring through-
         out the post-closure care period.

         Note that the above mentioned requirements for closure of hazardous
         waste tanks as landfills do not become effective until January 12,
         1987.  Tank closures occurring prior to January 12, 1987 must comply
         with prior regulations which may include 40 CFR §265.197 and §265.110
         through §265.115.  The latter sections were amended on May 2, 1986 (51
         FR 16422).  Section 265.11(b) requires the o/o to control, minimize or
         eliminate, to the extent necessary to protect human health and the
         environment, postclosure escape of hazardous waste, hazardous constitu-
         ents, leachate contaminated run off or hazardous waste decomposition
         products to the ground or surface waters or to the atmosphere.  Since
         the May 2, 1986 amendments were not promulgated pursant to HSWA, they
         are effective in authorized states only if the states have adopted
         revisions to their programs to incorporate these requirements.

         Also, under Section 3008(h) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, whenever
         the EPA Administrator determines ,that there is or has been a release of
         hazardous waste into the environment from a facility authorized to
         operate under Section 3005(e), the Administrator may issue an order
         requiring corrective action or any other response measure necessary to
         protect human health or the environment.

4.  State Programs

    40 CFR 271.1(i) allows a state's authorized RCRA program to be broader
    in scope or more stringent than the Federal RCRA program.  What is the
    difference between state program elements that are broader in scope
    and more stringent than Federal requirements?  What are some examples?

         The best available guidance distinguishing between "more stringent"
         and "broader in scope" is program implementation guidance (PIG)
         84-1.  A state program that is broader in scope than the Federal
         program either:  1) expands the size of the regulated community; or 2)
         incorporates program elements that do not have a Federal counterpart.
         Examples of requirements that are broader in scope are permits for
         Federally-exempt wastewater treatment units, special licenses for
         transporters, and listing of wastes which are not listed Federally.

-------
         A state program requirement that is more stringent has a direct Federal
         program counterpart.   Examples of more stringent requirements are
         requiring generators to submit an annual, rather than a biennial report;
         shorter duration periods for permits; and stricter management standards
         for permitted or interim status tanks and containers.

         The distinction between broader and more stringent state requirements
         is significant because EPA may enforce a more stringent state require-
         ment but not a state requirement that is broader in scope.   RCRA §3008
         (a)(2) allows EPA to enforce any provision of an authorized state's
         approved program.  More stringent state requirements fall into this
         category.  State provisions that are broader in scope are not part of
         the Federally approved RCRA program, according to 40 CFR 271.1(1), and
         are therefore not enforceable by EPA (see also PIG 82-3).

5.  RCRA En forcement

    When can the §3008(h) authority be used?  How can a §3013 order
    support the §3008(h)  action?         '.'

         The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) added §3008(h),
         one of the corrective action authorities, to the Solid Waste Disposal
         Act.  Section 3008(h) allows the Agency to require corrective action or
         any other response necessary tio protect human health or the environment
         when a release of hazardous waste is identified at an interim status
         hazardous waste treatment, storage  or disposal facility.

         Section 3008(h)  provides:  "Whenever on the basis of any information
         the Administrator determines'that there is or has been a release of
         hazardous waste into the environment...".  Appropriate information can
         be obtained from a variety of sources, including data from laboratory
         analyses of soil, air, surface water or ground water samples, observa-
         tions recorded during inspections,  photographs, and facts obtained from
         facility records.

         Actual sampling data is not necessary to show a release.  Other evidence
         that a release has occurred might be a broken dike at a surface impound-
         ment discovered by an inspector.  Less obvious indications of a release
         might also be adequate to make the  determination.  For example, the
         Agency could have sufficient information on the contents of a land
         disposal unit, the design and operating characteristics of the unit,and
         the hydrogeology of the area in which the unit is located to conclude
         that there has probably been a release to groundwater.  The Agency
         could then order the owner or operator to perform an investigation to
         confirm the presence of contamination, and, after confirmation, to
         undertake corrective action.

-------
However, to exercise the interim status corrective action authority,
the Agency must first have information that there is or has been a
release at the facility.  Additional sources that may provide infor-
mation on releases include: Inspection reports, RCRA Part A and Part B
permit applications, responses to RCRA §3007 information requests,
information obtained through RCRA §3013 orders, notifications required
by CERCLA §103, information gathering activities conducted under CERCLA
§104, and informants' tips or citizens' complaints corroborated by
supporting information.

A §3013 order may be used in some instances in which EPA does not have
adequate information that there is or has been a release.  Section 3013
provides that the Agency may compel monitoring, testing and analysis if
the presence of hazardous waste at a facility or site at which hazardous
waste has been treated, stored or disposed of may present a substantial
hazard to human health or the environment.
