MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT:
FROM:
Final Monthly Report - RCRA/Superfund Industry Assistance
Hotline Report for January 1987.
TO:
Thea McManus
Office of Solid Waste

I. ACTIVITIES
A. In January, the Hotline responded to 7,534 questions and document
requests.
B. Renee Rico of the Office of Toxic Substances (OTS) spoke
to the Hotline staff on January 6, about the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization (SARA) section 313. Under SARA, Title III,
implementation responsibilities are divided between OSWER and OPTS.
OTS has the lead for implementing section 314 which covers Toxic
Release Inventory Requirements for manufacturing facilities.
C. On Saturday, January 10, the Hotline moved from EPA's subbasement to
new Geo/Resource Consultants, Inc., offices in Waterside Mall. The
Hotline was operational Monday morning, January 12.
D. Starting January 12, the Hotline is operating with a new phone
system, which, with expanded size of the Hotline, will provide more
efficient service. The Hotline has 14 phone lines to handle up to
14 callers at one time. When all Information Specialists on the
Hotline are busy, callers will be held in a queue and their calls
taken in turn. For example, if eight Information Specialists are
answering calls on the Hotline, up to six callers will receive a
recorded message that all Information Specialists are busy and their
call will be taken in turn. If ten Information Specialist are "on"
the Hotline, four callers can wait in the queue, and so on. The
Hotline's numbers are:
toll free: f / 800 424-9346
local RCRA/CERCLA Hotline ' i' -382-3000
Hotline Management (not for information requests) 382-3112
-------
If callers into EPA are referred to the Hotline, please give them
the toll free or local Hotline number. Do not transfer them to or
give them the Hotline management number. If EPA staff should receive
any complaints concerning access to the Hotline, refer callers to
Bill Rusin or Pat Cohn at the Hotline. The efficiency of the Hotline
phone servive has increased significantly. However, in case of
system-related problems that can be corrected, we want to get complete
information from any thwarted callers.
E. The Hotline telephone system provides a number of management reports
to monitor phone activity. Hotline staff and EPA Project Officers
will evaluate these reports and develop an expanded reporting'bystem
which we anticipate will be operational April 1.
F. Djring January, the Hotline was informed of the following publications
and organizations which listed the RCRA/Superfund Hotline and telephone
numbers:
National Association of Solvent Recyclers

II. SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES
A. RCRA
1. Spent Lead Acid Batteries
The owner/operator of a facility that collects spent lead acid
batteries drains the acid and then manifests the acid off-site for
reclamation. The battery shell, which still contains the lead
plates, is sent to a facility that extracts the lead for smelting.
Should these battery shells when sent off-site, be managed as EP
Toxic hazardous waste or as spent lead acid batteries subject to
Subpart G of 40 CFR §266?
First, the material is classified as a solid waste after the
acid is drained. Second, either a "spent lead acid battery" or
a battery shell must exhibit a characteristic of hazardous
waste to be a hazardous waste in the Subtitle C system. Assuming
the battery case exhibits a characteristic, then the owner/operator
of the facility would be regulated as a hazardous waste generator
because he generates spent acid which exhibits the characteristics
of corrosivity. The act of draining the batteries, however, is
not considered part of the reclamation process. Therefore, the
owner/operator would not be subject to the requirements of
§266.80(b), for example, notification, contingency planning,
closure, and all other applicable provisions 40 CFR Part 264.
However, the facility that cracks the battery to remove the lead
plates will be subject to these provisions of 40 CFR 266.80(b).

2. Land Disposal Restriction, Dioxins, and 90-Day Accumulation
The land disposal restriction rule, published in the November 7,
1986 Federal Register (51 FR 40572) allows generators to store their
restricted wastes on-site beyond the 90-day limit set forth in 40
CFR 262.34 provided that the waste is being accumulated to "facilitate
proper recovery, treatment, or disposal" (40 CFR 268.50(a)(1)).
Generators of the restricted wastes are eligible for interim status
provided that they are in existence on the effective date of the new
regulations (40 CFR 270.70(a)) and the new requirements will subject
them to storage periods longer than 90 days. A generator who stores
the waste for more than 90 days must submit a Part A application no
later than 30 days after the generator becomes subject to the new
regulations (40 CFR 270.10(e)). Are generators of the restricted
dioxin wastes, which received a two year extension for compliance
with land disposal restrictions, eligible for interim status and,
therefore, able to store their wastes on-site for more than 90 days
between November 8, 1986 and November 8, 1988?
-3-
-------
No, the provision in 40 CFR 268.50(a) and under section 3005(e),
that makes generators eligible to apply for interim status and
subsequently able to store their restricted waste on-sita for
longer than 90 days applies only to those generators whose
waste is currently subject to land disposal restrictions and
who are accumulating to recover, treat, or dispose of the waste.
The dioxin generator would not yet be eligible for interim
status since he was not in existence on the date of regulatory
changes which affect his operation (RCRA (§3005(e)(1)(ii))
since the effective date of the land disposal restrictions that
applies to the dioxin waste was deferred until November 8, 1988
(40 CFR 268.31). The dioxin generator would have been eligible
for interim status for the storage of his dioxin wastes on
July 15, 1985, the effective date of the listing of the dioxin-
containing wastes. Interim Status would have to have been
applied for within 30 days after the generator became subject
to the new regulations (40 CFR 270.10(e)(1)).
If a dioxin generator did not apply for interim status pursuant
to the July 15, 1985 Dioxin Rule the generator of dioxin wastes
would not currently be eligible for interim status. The dioxin
generator could however, apply through the state or region for
a full permit as a new facility. The generator may also be
able to obtain an informal compliance agreement with the state
or region. This agreement could only be obtained if the generator
has not previously applied for interim status. It could include
enforcement orders and may grant the generator some immunities.
The specifics would have to be determined by the Regional
Administrator or the state. The dioxin generator should be
physically in compliance with applicable regulations under
40 CFR 265. He should also notify the state or region of his
activities and submit a Part A Permit Application. Although he
could not technically obtain interim status, the proper steps
should be taken to show a "good faith effort" on his part. The
compliance agreement with EPA, or other authority, could include
promises not to enforce against the facility as long as all applicable
regulations were complied with.

3. Corrective Action - §3008(h)
A container storage facility subject to interim status (RCRA
Section 3005(e)) has two solid waste management units (SWMUs) on
site. If the facility was closed before receiving a full Part B
permit, could EPA enforce interim status corrective action measures
(RCRA Section 3008a(h)) against the facility to clean up the SWMUs?
The authority to enforce corrective action measures at an
interim status facility is not necessarily tied to closure
at hazardous waste management units at the facility in question.
Facilities with closed units may remain in interim status.
Furthermore, once a facility has obtained interim status, it is
potentially subject to an enforcement action pursuant to
section 3008(h).
4. Does the authority granted under RCRA section 3008(h) extend to
facilities that have lost interim status (RCRA §3005(e))?
EPA has interpreted section 3008(h) to apply to the following:
1) facilities that have applied for and are now operating under
interim status; 2) facilities that treat, store, or dispose of
hazardous waste but have not obtained interim status because
they did not fully comply with section 3010 notification
requirements or submit a timely Part A; and 3) units or
facilities at which active operations have ceased and interim
status has been terminated pursuant to 40 CFR 124 or Sections
3005(c) and 3005(e)(2) of RCRA. Section 3008(h) specifically
provides that the interim status corrective action orders may
include a suspension or revocation of the authority to operate
under interim status, as well as any other response necessary
to protect human health or the environment. Accordingly,
Section 3008(h) can be used to compel responses to releases at
facilities that lost interim status prior to a section 3008(h)
action. EPA believes this approach to be consistent with
Congressional intent to assure that significant environmental
problems are addressed at facilities that treat, store, or
dispose of hazardous wastes but do not have a final RCRA
operating or post-closure permit. H. Rep. No. 1133, 98th
Congress, 2d. Sess. 110-112 (1984). (from "Interpretation of
Section 3008(h) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act", J. Winston
Porter, December 16th, 1985.)

B. CERCLA
1. Contractor Indemnification
The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
added Section 119 to CERCLA. Section 119 addresses liability of
response action contractors. Subsection (a) of this section exempts
response action contractors from liability under CERCLA or any other
Federal law for damages, injuries, and costs resulting from a release
or threatened release. The exemption would not apply, however, to
response action contractors who cause releases through negligence or
intentional misconduct. Does Section 119 exempt response action
contractors from liability under state law?
Response action contractors are not exempt from liability under
state law where the standard is strict liability. In states
with a strict liability standard, EPA cannot protect a response
action contractor from liability in state courts. "Strict
liability" means that the contractor is liable regardless of
actual fault or negligence.
Section 119(c) of SARA does authorize the President to indemnify
a response action contractor from third party liability arising
from a release of hazardous substances pollutant or contaminant
where the response action contractor was negligent. Therefore,
EPA could protect response action contractors from liability
under state law if the state's standard for liability is
negligence. In states with the strict liability standard,
however, the President is not authorized to indemnify response
action contractors.

Currently owners/operators of treatment,
storage or disposal facilities are
required to submit feasibility studies
and plans for corrective action program
in the Part B permit application when
hazardous constituents in the ground-
water exceed specified limits. The
proposed amendment would allow the
owner/operator, at the Regional

by HSWA. After July 8, 1987, Section
3004 (a) of RCRA prohibits the land
disposal of hazardous wastes containing
constituents on the California list in
concentrations at or above specified
levels. This notice proposes to
codify the statutory concentration
