     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.

I.  SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES


 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.
