II. SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES
A. RCRA PROGRAM
1. Waste Minimization Requirements
What is the basis for waste minimization and what is required?
In the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (Section 3002), Congress
stated that as a matter of national policy, the generation of hazardous
waste should be reduced or eliminated as expeditiously as possible.
Waste that is nevertheless generated should be treated, stored or
disposed of so as to minimize the present and future threat to human
health and the environment.
HSWA required that generators of a hazardous waste submit a biennial
report to the Regional Administrator which would include: 1) efforts
undertaken during the year to reduce the volume and toxicity of waste
generated, and 2) the changes in volume and toxicity of waste actually
achieved during the year in comparison with previous years (Section
3002(a)(6)(A-C). Effective September 1, 1985, generators had to use a
manifest containing a certification by the generator that he had a
program in place to reduce the volume or quantity and toxicity of
hazardous waste to the degree determined by the generator to be
economically practicable. The program must include a practicable
method currently available to the generator which minimize the present
and future threat to human health and the environment. Also effective
September 1, 1985, any permit issued under Section 3004 of the Solid
Waste Disposal Act for the treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous
waste must require that the permittee certify no less often than
annually that he has a program in place to reduce the volume and
toxicity of hazardous waste that he generates to the degree determined
by the permittee to be economically practicable. The permittee's
proposed method of treatment, storage or disposal must include a
practicable method currently available to him which minimizes the
present and future threat to human health and the environment.
The term "waste minimization" has been defined differently by different
organizations. The U.S. EPA, in its October 1986 Report to Congress on
the minimization of hazardous waste, defined waste minimizaton as:
"The reduction, to the extent feasible, of hazardous waste that
is generated or subsequently treated, stored, or disposed of.
It includes any source reduction or recycling activity undertaken
by a generator that results in either: (1) the reduction of total
volume or quantity of hazardous waste or (2) the reduction of
toxicity of hazardous waste, or both, so long as the reduction is
consistent with the goal of minimizing present and future threats
to human health and the environment. Waste minimization does not
include treatment of hazardous waste."

2. EPA Waste Minimization Program Activities
What is EPA currently doing in the area of waste minimization?
For the past two years, the Office of Solid Waste has been actively
involved in the area of waste minimization. In a 1986 report to
Congress required under Section 8002(r) of RCRA, EPA stated that
incentives for waste minimization are strong and growing. Since
data was scarce on existing waste minimization programs, EPA
stated that it would report back to Congress in 1990 on the need
for "conrmand and control" regulations for waste minimization.
Under Section 8002(r) Congress had asked EPA to look at desirability
and feasibility of "command and control" regulations.
As it is presently structured, the Agency's waste minimization
program has two principle objectives: (1) evaluate the need for
regulations for waste minimization and present this evaluation
along with appropriate recommendations in a report to Congress in
1990, and (2) foster the use of waste minimization through technology
transfer and information dissemination activities. In order to
achieve these goals, OSW developed its 1987 and 1988 Fiscal Year
programs to focus on gathering information and data to determine
waste minimization trends and to develop information dissemination
and technology transfer activities.
Presently, OSW activities include:
(1) Revising the requirement for a narrative statement for waste
minimization in biennial reports. The current format consists
of a "blank page" with instructions to provide a "narrative
description" of waste minimization activities. The revised
biennial report will consist of yes/no questions which will
indicate generators' awareness of waste minimization, specific
questions about waste minimization techniques, and volume of
toxicity of data.
(2) Initiating a computerized data and information retrieval
system for waste minimization.
(3) Developing waste minimization policy statements which will be
non-binding and reflect EPA's ideas on what does and does not
constitute waste minimization.
(4) Co-Sponsoring two meetings "National Roundtable of State
Waste Reduction Programs" and Woods Hole III "Waste Minimization
- The Hurdles Ahead".
-3-
-------
2. Waste Minimization Program Activities (Continued)
(5) Developing a waste minimization audit training videotape in
conjunction with ORD's development of a manual on how to conduct
a waste minimization audit. ORD is also developing case studies
on waste minimization.
(6) Developing several technology transfer procedures which will
provide general information on waste minimization, waste
exchanges, waste minimization and small quantity generators,
good housekeeping and metal parts cleaning.
(7) Coordinating with the Office of Toxic Substances, to develop a
Premanufacturing Notice - Chemical Advisory on waste
minimization.
(8) Coordinating with Superfund offices on SARA provisions relating
to waste minimization. This includes the state capacity certifi-
cation and Section 313 of Title III, the Toxic Chemical Release
Inventory.

3. Groundwater Monitoring For Radionuclides
Bow are radionuclides, which are present in mixed low-level radioactive
waste, monitored in the groundwater at an interim status disposal
facility?
When the facility is in interim status, the initial background
monitoring required by 40 CFR 265.92(b) and (c) consists of monitoring
for drinking water parameters specified in §265.92(b)(l)-(3) Appendix III
and 265.92(b)(l) references. One of the parameters specified in Appendix
III is gross Alpha radiation. The regulations require quarterly monitoring
for these constituents for one year. Part 265 does not address the
requirement to monitor the groundwater for radiation beyond the original
four background measurements.

4. Clean Closure
Section 265.228(a) of the recently promulgated amendment to the
surface impoundment closure and post-closure care rule, published
in the Federal Register on March 19, 1987 (52 FR 8704), states that
various facility elements (e.g., contaminated subsoils, liners, and
structures) must be removed or decontaminated before clean-closure
can occur. Contaminated groundwater is not listed among those
elements. Must affected groundwater also be removed or
decontaminated before clean closure is possible?
In the preamble to the final rule the Agency stated that it
interprets the term "contaminated subsoils" to include contaminated
groundwater (52 FR 8705). The preamble also states (52 FR 8706)
that owners and operators must remove all wastes, liners, and all
materials contaminated with waste or leachate (including groundwater)
that pose a threat to human health or the environment.

5. Mobile Wastewater Treatment Units
Vvastewater treatment units, as defined in 40 CFR 260.10, are excluded
from the permitting requirements per §270.l(c)(2)(v). In order for a
unit to meet the "wastewater treatment" exclusion, it must meet the
three criteria set in §260.10.
(1) It must be part of a wastewater treatment facility that is
subject to §402 or §307(b) of the Clean Water Act;
(2) It must receive and treat or store a wastewater or wastewater
treatment sludge that is a hazardous waste, or generate and
accumulate a hazardous wastewater treatment sludge, and
(3) It must be a tank as defined in §260.10.
Vvastewater treatment units, by definition, must be tanks. A tank is
defined in §260.10 as "a statutory device, designed to contain an
accumulation of hazardous waste which is constructed primarily of
non-earthen materials... which provide structural support."
A potential application of mobile treatment unit technology is for a
mobile treatment unit to be used for wastewater treatment (e.g.,
dewatering sludges). Is it possible for a mobile treatment unit to
be a tank as defined in §260.10?
-5-
-------
5. Mobile Wastewater Treatment Units (Continued)
Yes. A mobile treatment unit could be a tank as defined in §260.10.
Although §260.10 defines a tank as "a stationary device", EPA has
determined that a mobile tank could be a "tank" provided that it
is intended to be stationary when in operation and that it meets
the definition of a tank in all other respects (See 52 FR 20919).
In additon, EPA proposed regulations in the June 3, 1987 Federal
Register (52 FR 20914) for permitting of mobile treatment units
(MTUs) that are subject to RCRA. According to the proposed rule,
MTU would obtain a state-wide technical permit and a site specific
permit that would allow it to operate. EPA is also requesting
comments on the Hazardous Waste Treatment Council's suggestion
to exclude certain "low risk" treatment units, such as evaporation
or dewatering units, from the permitting process.

6. Solid Waste Classification
An electronics manufacturer uses a wave soldering operation to imprint
circuit boards. A "hot tin pot" containing a large mass of molten tin-
lead solder is used as the source for the imprinting procedure. Solder
from the pot is fed into the wave operation via a gulley or channel,
and residual or excess solder is fed directly back into the pot for
reuse. The solder becomes contaminated over time with copper and gold
from the circuit boards and is no longer usable. The contents of the
pot are then solidified in a large block and sent for gold recovery and
solder reclamation. Would the block of solder be classified as a
spent material, scrap metal, by-product or off specification
commercial chemical product?
The contents of the "hot tin pot" would be classified as a spent
material. Spent materials, per 50 FR 618, are materials that have
been used and are no longer fit for use without being regenerated,
reclaimed or otherwise reprocessed. The material would not meet
the scrap metal classification because it is not a metal product
discarded after consumer use or metal turning or fine. It would
also be excluded from the off specification commercial chemical
product category due to its prior use.

7. Liability Requirements of Subsidiaries
EPA requires that all hazardous waste firms comply with the RCRA
third party liability requirements. Besides insurance, canpliance can
be obtained through the use of the financial test for liability and
the corporate guarantee for liability. A hazardous waste company has
six different subsidiary firms. This parent corporation has met the
requirements of the financial test. Can all six subsidiaries obtain
a corporate guarantee fran the parent corporation?
Nothing in the regulation prevents the parent from using the
corporate guarantee for more than one sub-contractor. But/ the
required multiples for the financial test must be based on a true
aggregate of liability guaranteed.
