I. SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES
A. RCRA Program
1. California List
The land disposal restrictions in RCRA Section 3004(d) *equises
that the California List wastes be banned from land disposal by July 8,
1987. Concentrations of nickel greater than 134 mg/1 are subject to the
ban. Is hazardous wastewater containing nickel dispensed by agitation,
but not chemically in solution, included in the restriction?
Yes. It does not matter whether the nickel is chemically or physically
contained in the wastewater. The ban applies to the total concentration
of nickel in the filtrate as determined by subjecting a representative
sample of wastewater to the Paint Filter Liquids Test. If the facility
were to settle out the pieces of nickel and lower the concentration of
nickel below 134 mg/1, the wastewater would no longer be subject to the
ban. Until treatment standards are finalized, this method of lowering
the concentration is allowable.

2. Domestic Sewage Exclusion
A RCRA hazardous waste is transported by truck accompanied by Uniform
Hazardous Waste Manifest to a publicly-owned treatment works (POTW). Does
the domestic sewage exclusion apply to this hazardous waste if it mixes with
domestic sewage prior to treatment? Is the sludge generated from treating
the RCRA hazardous waste and the domestic sewage a hazardous waste due to the
"Derived-From Rule" (40 CFR 261.3(c) and (d))?
The Domestic Sewage Exclusion ("the exclusion" OP "the exemption")
found in RCRA Section 1004(27) and codified at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(l)(ii)
applies to "domestic sewage and any mixture of domestic sewage and
other wastes that pass through a sewe> system to publicly-owned
treatment works foe treatment. 'Domestic sewage1 means untreated
sanitary wastes that pass through a sewer system" (emphasis added).
These wastes are not considered to be solid wastes and therefore cannot
be classified as a RCRA hazardous waste. The exemption does not extend
to wastes which are transported to the POTW by way of truck, -pail, OP
dedicated pipe and which do not mix with domestic sewage. The POTW
would be operating under a NPDES permit and is subject to regulations
under the RCRA permit-by-rule provisions (see 40 CFR 270.60(c)).
Even if the hazardous wastes which were transported from off-site were
mixed with the influent domestic sewage before any treatment occurred,
the exclusion would not apply. As discussed in the May 19, 1980
Federal Register (45 FR 33097), EPA has interpreted that the intent of
Congress was that the exemption extend only to wastes which enter the
system at or near the point of generation and actually "mix with
sanitary wastes in a sewer system leading to a POTW" (emphasis added).
As discussed in the June 22, 1987 Federal Register (52 FR 23478), if
any listed RCRA hazardous wastes denoted in 40 CFR 261 Subpart D are
manifested to a POTW, the resultant treatment sludge would retain the
listing per the "Derived-Fran Rule" (see 40 CFR 261.3(c)(2)(i )>. If
the waste is characteristically hazardous undetr 40 CFR 261 Subpart C,
the sludge would be considered a hazardous waste only if the sludge
exhibited any one of the characteristics of hazardous waste.

3. Retrofitting for Pe unit ted Surface Impoundments
Section 3005(j) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
regjires ownet/operators of interim status surface impoundments to
retrofit the impoundments to meet the minimum technological requirements
of RCRA Section 3004(O)(1)(A) by November 8, 1988. Minimum technological
requirements include installation of double liners and a leachate collection
system between the liners. The alternative to retrofitting, aside from
receiving a variance under RCRA Sections 3005(j)(5) or (j)(13), is to stop
receiving, storing, or treating hazardous waste in the impoundment by
November 8, 1988.
-2-
-------
Once the facility receives a permit, it becomes subject to the standards
under 40 CFR Part 264. 40 CFR 264.221(a) requires permitted surface
impoundments to have single liners that are designed to prevent migration
of wastes out of the impoundment to adjacent subsurface soil or ground water
or surface water at any time during the active life of the impoundment.
The minimum technological requirements for permitted facilities apply to
new units, lateral expansions and replacements of existing units, but not
existing units (see 40 CFR 264.221(c)).
If a surface impoundment that was previously subject to RCRA Section 3005(j)
receives a permit before November 8, 1988, does it escape the double
liner/leachate collection system retrofitting requirements?
No, the surface impoundment is still subject to the retrofitting
requirements of RCRA Section 3005(j). Receiving a permit by November 8,
1988 is not the factor that determines the impoundment's eligibility
under RCRA Section 3005(j). The surface impoundment is subject to the
retrofitting requirement because it was under interim status on the date
of enactment of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) (November 8,
1984). In addition, RCRA Section 3005(c)(2)(A) (i) requires EPA to
issue or deny permits by November 8, 1988 for all land disposal units
that were under interim status on November 8, 1984. In order to be
effective, RCRA Section 3005t j) would have to apply to impoundments that
receive permits by November 8, 1988 anyway, since EPA must grant or deny
permits by November 8, 1988 for all surface impoundments that were under
interim status on the date of enactment of HSWA.

4. Laboratory Audit Inspection
What is the Laboratory Audit Inspection (LAI) Program?
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires the owner/
operator of a surface impoundment, landfill or land treatment unit that
is used to manage hazardous waste to implement a ground water monitoring
program capable of determining a facility's impact on the uppermost
aquifer. The Environmental Protection Agency has developed guidance
titled, RCRA Ground Water Monitoring Technical Enforcement Guidance
Document (TEGD), which details the technical aspects of ground-water
monitoring system design and operation deemed important by the Agency to
assist a ground water monitoring system to meet the goals of the RCRA
program. Once it has been established that the owner/operator has
adequately designed and constructed the ground water monitoring water
systems and that these systems are providing representative ground-water
samples, EPA must confirm that these samples are being properly analyzed.
The Office of Waste Program Enforcement (OWPE), RCRA Enforcement Division,
is developing a RCRA Laboratory Audit Inspection (LAI) program. The
goal of the inspection program is to enable the owner/operator to
determine whether the laboratory that the owner/operator is using for
ground water sample analyses is properly equipped, maintained, and
staffed, and whether samples are properly logged and tracked throughout
the laboratory.
-3-
-------
This inspection does not constitute a laboratory certification for
purposes of the RCRA program. It is simply designed to confirm that the
laboratory is capable of performing quality analysis work for the owner/
operators ground-water monitoring program.

5. Secondary Containment for Tanks
The hazardous waste tank restrictions promulgated in the July 14, 1986
Federal Register (51 FR 25422) included requirements for secondary
containment (§265.193). One of the three methods of secondary containment
is a vault (§265.193(d)(2)). The vault system must be designed or operated
to contain 100 percent of the capacity of the largest tank within its
boundary. If the largest tank within the boundary contains non-hazardous
waste, must the vault be designed to contain the capacity of the non-hazardous
waste tank or the capacity of the largest hazardous waste tank?
The hazardous waste tank regulations are not applicable to tanks
containing non-hazardous waste; therefore the vault must be designed to
contain 100 percent of the capacity of the largest hazardous waste tank.

6. Land Treatment
The land treatment regulations at 40 CFR 264.271(c) state that the
treatment zone may not extend more than five feet into the soil and that the
seasonal high water table must be at least three feet from the bottom of the
treatment zone. In permitting land treatment units, it is assumed that the
treatment zone extends five feet down. Can any variance be granted from the
three foot requirement between the seasonal high water table and the bottom of
the treatment zone?
No. Htwever, if the facility can prove that the treatment zone
extends less than five feet into the soil, the difference between the
actual bottom of the treatment zone and five feet may be considered
as space between the bottom of the treatment zone and the seasonal
high water table. The total distance between the top of the soil and
the water table can be less than eight feet.

B. CERCLA PROGRAM
7. Class II Ground Water and ARARs
An aquifer underlying a CERCIA site has been rated as Class II ground
water, that is, the ground water is known to be contaminated, however, it oould
be used as a potable source of drinking water. Would EPA require this aquifer
to be remediated to maximum contaminant levels (MCLs)?
When selecting a remedy for a CERCIA site, the lead agency at the site
must select a remedy that attains or exceeds applicable or relevant and
appropriate Federal and State public health and environmental requirements
(ARARs) that have been identified for that specific site (§300.68(i)(1) and
SARA). Applicable requirements are those requirements that would be
legally applicable to a site if the response were not undertaken pursuant
to CERCIA §104 and §106. Relevent and appropriate requirements are
those requirements that, while not applicable, are designed to apply to
problems sufficiently similar to those encountered at CERCIA sites that
their application is appropriate.
In determining the applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements
for remedial actions involving contaminated ground water, the most
important factors to consider are the uses and potential uses of the
ground water and the purposes for which the potential requirements are
intended (OSWER Directive 9234.0-05).
For Class I and Class II ground water or surface water that is or may be
used as a source of drinking water, drinking water standards are generally
applicable or relevant and appropriate, and the ground water or surface
water must ultimately be cleaned up to such levels (OSWER Directive
9234.005).
In cases where a drinking water source or potential drinking water source
contains a contaminant having a drinking water standard (MCL), EPA may
identify an ARAR that is more stringent than the MCL to ensure adequate
protection. Ihis might happen in cases where either multiple contaminants
exist in ground water or mulitple pathways of exposure present extraordinary
risks. In setting a level more stringent than the MCL, a site-specific
determination should be made by considering MCLGs (Maximum Contaminant
Level Goals), EPA's policy on the use of apropriate risk ranges for
carcinogens, levels of quantification, and other pertinant guidelines.

8. State Contributions
A State desires to fund a remedial investigation/feasibility study
(RI/FS) for a hazardous waste disposal site that has yet to be proposed for
placement on the National Priorities List (NPL). Could the monies spent
on the RI/FS be applied towards the State's statutorally-mandated 10 percent
contribution to the remedial action expenses?
-5-
-------
Section 104(c)(5) of CERCLA addresses State credits. More specifically,
Secton 104(c)(5)(B) discusses State credits for expenses before listing
or agreement. Eligible for credit are monies spent on the remedial
action before site listing. The RI/FS is considered part of remedial
planning and not included in remedial action activities. Consequently,
State monies spent on the RI/FS could not be applied towards its 10
percent remedial action.

9. Contract Laboratory Program
What is the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP)?
The Contract Laboratory Program supports EPA's Superfund effort. It
provides a range of state-of-the-art chemical analytical services of
known quality on a high-volume, cost-effective basis. The goal of the
CLP is to provide legally defensible analytical results for use in
supporting enforcement actions taken by EPA.
To become part of the CLP, laboratories must meet stringent requirements
and standards for equipment, personnel, laboratory practices, analytical
operations, and quality control operations. Firm, fixed-price contracts
are awarded competitively to the lowest responsive, responsible bidders
through the government's Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. Low-priced
bidders must successfully analyze performance examples and pass a pre-
award laboratory audit before a contract is awarded. After contract
award, laboratories are closely monitored to assure compliance with the
terms and conditions of the contract.
The CLP supplies analytical services in direct response to requests frctn
the EPA Regions, the primary users of the program, as well as states and
other EPA programs such as RCRA.

10. GOCOs and Title III Compliance
Does a contractor for a federal government facility need to comply with
the Title III regulations?
-6-
-------
Yes. Federal government owned and operated facilities are exempt from
Title III requirements due to emission of the Federal government from
the definition of "person" in tne Title III statute. Thus, the definition
excludes the Federal government from being covered by the Title III
provisions as an owner or operator of a facility. However, the definition
does include any other individual or private firm even if he/she is
working under a contract for a Federal agency. In addition, a contractor
may also be considered the "operator" of the Federal government owned
facility and thus can be required to comply with any regulations that
they may be subject to under Title III of SARA applicable to that facility.

V. FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICES FOR JULY 1987
Former Notices with Open Comment Period
April 17, 1987: 52 FR 12566
(proposed UST rule)
Proposal to regulate underground
storage tanks containing petroleum or
hazardous substances as defined by
CERCLA (except hazardous wastes
regulated under Subtitle C of
RCRA) as mandated by Subtitle I-
§9003 of RCRA, as amended. The
rule is divided into three sections
as follows: 1) technical standards,
2) financial responsibility, and 3)
State programs. The ccranent period
ends July 16, 1987.
April 17, 1987: 52 FR 12870
(guidelines for the develop-
ment of toxicological
profiles).
Notice describing the procedures and
criteria to be used by ATSDR and EPA
in developing toxicological profiles.
Section 110 of SARA requires that
toxicological profiles be prepared for
the priority-order lists of hazardous
substances. Conrnents must be submitted
by July 16, 1987.
6, 1987: 52 FR 16952
(proposed rule on burning
of hazardous waste in
boilers and industrial
furnaces).
Proposed rule to control emissions of toxic
organic compounds, toxic metals, and hydrogen
chloride from boilers and industrial furnaces
burning a hazardous waste. In addition, the
proposal would subject owners and operators
of these devices to the general facility
standards applicable to hazardous waste
treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.
Further, the proposal would subject hazardous
waste fuel storage units at burner facilities
to Part 264 permitting standards. This
proposal also proposed action on two
petitions from Dow Chemical Co. and the
American Iron and Steel Institute. Comments
will be accepted until July 20, 1987.
May 28, 1987: 52 FR 19919
(interim guidelines on
NEAR)
Request for comments and announcement of
interim guidelines on Non-Binding Preliminary
Allocations of Responsibility (NEAR) required
