I. SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES - December 1987
A. RCRA PROGRAM
1. Waste Classification
A hotel generates 100 to 1000 kg of perchloroethylene
per month dry cleaning the clothes of its customers.
The waste is stored in a tank on-site which is emptied
periodically when full. Would the hotel be regulated
as a small quantity generator? Or, because of the
definition of household waste, which includes wastes
"derived from households (e.g., single and multiple
residences, hotels and motels, bunkhouses, ranger
stations, etc.), would it not be a hazardous waste due
to the exemption in §261.4
-------
2. Land Disposal Restrictions
In a particular state authorized to implement pre-HSWA
regulations, the F005 hazardous waste listing also
includes spent solvent mixtures and blends containing
less than 10% solvent before use. Due to the state's
hazardous waste listing, does this mean the waste
(which is not listed under the Federal hazardous waste
regulations) is now restricted from land disposal?
No, authorized state regulations which list
hazardous waste (not within the Federal hazardous
waste universe) are broader in scope than the
Federal regulations. According to the May 21,
1984 Program Implementation Guidance Memorandum
from Lee Thomas entitled, "Determining Whether
State Hazardous Waste Management Requirements are
Broader in Scope or More Stringent than the
Federal RCRA Program" (PIG-84-1), EPA cannot
enforce state regulations which are broader in
scope. Therefore, a waste designated by the state
as F005 (which does not meet the Federal criteria
for listing) would not be subject to Federal land
disposal restrictions. However, states are free
to impose their own disposal prohibitions if such
actions are more stringent or broader in scope
than Federal programs (RCRA S3009 and 40 CFR
§271.Ki) ) .

3. Mixture Rule - Discharges to Wastewater
Incidental spills, onto a cement slab, from the normal
handling or transfer of virgin solvent into cleaning
tanks, are collected in an underlying sump. The
contents of the sump are at times diluted and
eventually discharged to an on-site wastewater
treatment system meeting the exemptions under 40 CFR
§264.1(g))6>, S265.1(c)(10) , and §270.1(c)(2)(v) and
regulated under §402 of the Clean Water Act. The
cleaning operation is at a manufacturing site. Will
the wastewater qualify for the §261.3(a)<2)(iv)(D)
mixture rule "de minimis losses" exemption?
-2-
-------
3. Mixture Rule - Discharges to Wastewater (Continued)
Yes, although the material spilled is not a
chemical intermediate used in a production process
or a raw material used in a production process, it
is a discarded commercial chemical product which
has been spilled during normal material handling
operations at a manufacturing site and is disposed
of via drainage to the wastewater treatment
process. The amount of material would not be
counted against the 1 to 25 ppm exclusion level
for spent solvents mixed with wastewater (see
footnote 37, 46 FR 56587, November 17, 1981). In
this case, what is being discarded is not a spent
solvent, but an unused commercial product and will
meet the requirements of §261.3(a)(2)(iv)(D) de
minimis losses.

4. Definition of Underground Storage Tank and Underground
Storage Tank System
A tank farm consists of several partially underground
storage tanks connected by pipes. Is this considered
one tank system or several underground storage tank
systems?
In the April 17, 1987 proposed rules for
underground storage tanks (UST), §280.12, the
definition of an "UST" is any one or combination
of tanks (including underground pipes connected
thereto) that is used to contain an accumulation
of regulated substances and the volume of which
(including the volume of underground pipes
connected) is 10% or more beneath the surface of
the ground. The proposed rule defines "UST
system" as an underground storage tank and its
associated ancillary equipment and
containment system, if any." The proposed
regulations state in §280.10(a) that the
regulations apply to any owner and operator of an
UST system as defined in §280.12.
-3-
-------
4. Definition of Underground Storage Tank and Underground
Storage Tank System (Continued)
Therefore, a tank farm with several tanks that
meet the definition of an UST are considered to be
several UST systems (i.e., 3 tanks and piping >10%
below ground are considered to be 3 UST systems.)

5. Burning Hazardous Waste for Energy Recovery
An owner or operator of a cement kiln located in a
metropolitan area wants to burn hazardous waste for
energy recovery. The metropolitan area around the
facility has a population greater than 500,000, but the
kiln is not within the boundaries of an incorporated
municipality. Does the fact that the area has a
population greater than 500,000 mean the owner or
operator has to comply with the Subpart O requirements
for hazardous waste incinerators under 40 CFR Part
264/265?
According to RCRA, §3004(q)(2)(c) and 40 CFR
Section 266.31(c) no fuel containing hazardous
waste may be burned by any cement kiln located
within the boundaries of an incorporated
municipality with a population greater than
500,000, unless such kiln complies with the
requirements for incinerators under 40 CFR
264/265. Since the kiln is not located within the
boundaries of an incorporated municipality, it
does not have to comply with the requirements for
incinerators when burning for energy recovery,
regardless of the population. However, on
May 6, 1987, EPA proposed a rule entitled "Burning
of Hazardous Waste in Boilers and Industrial
Furnaces" (52 FR 16982). That rule, when final,
would regulate the burning of hazardous waste in
all cement kilns. The final rule is scheduled to
be issued in December 1988.

6. Reimbursement to Local Governments
Section 123 of CERCLA, as amended allows local
governments to apply for reimbursement to recover costs
incurred during "temporary emergency measures necessary
to prevent or mitigate injury to human health or the
environment associated with the release or threatened
release of any hazardous substance or pollutant or
contaminant." Regulations promulgated on October 21,
1987 outline the criteria and procedures involved in
administering this reimbursement (52 FR 39396, to be
codified at 40 CFR Part 310). May local governments be
reimbursed for monies spent to reduce the chance of
future emergencies (e.g., improving an area subject to
releases, or developing a program under the Chemical
Emergency Preparedness Program)?
No. Both the statutory language of SARA §123 and
the regulations issued pursuant to this statute
require that the reimbursement to local
governments be for "temporary emergency measures."
Such measures are to mitigate immediate threats
posed by the release or substantial threat of the
release of hazardous substances or pollutants or
contaminants. Prevention preparedness and
planning activities are not temporary emergency
measures and therefore are not eligible for
reimbursements.

7. Public Involvement in Superfund
A citizen notifies their State of an abandoned waste
site. Is EPA required to conduct a preliminary
assessment of the site within a specified time frame?
According to CERCLA §105(d), as amended by SARA,
any person who may be affected by a release or
threatened release may "petition" the President
to conduct a Preliminary Assessment (PA) of the
hazards associated with such a release. After
receipt of a petition, the President has twelve
months to either complete the Preliminary
Assessment or provide an explanation of why the
assessment is not appropriate. As outlined in
executive order 12580, published in the
-5-
-------
7. Public Involvement in Superfund (Continued)
January 29, 1987 Federal Register (52 FR 2923),
the President has delegated the authority of
§105(d) to the EPA Administrator. A request
either written or verbal to a state does not
constitute a petition to the Federal government
for a PA and as such does not kick in the one-year
deadline for respone to such a petition. The
State, however, may notify EPA of the site and
ask for it to be entered into the EPA inventory
where upon a PA will be performed. In most cases,
the PA would probably be completed in one year.

8. Emergency Release Notification Information
Question No. 3 of the proposed trade secret
substantiation form requires the submitter to list all
local, State and Federal government entities to which
the submitter has disclosed the specific chemical
identity. Does the submitter need to report §304
emergency release notifications if the submitter had a
covered reportable release?
No. The submitter is only required by the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
of 1986 (Title III) to report if the chemical
identify is "required to be disclosed, or
otherwise made available, to the public under any
other Federal or State law" as per S322(b)(2) of
Title III. Hence, emergency release notifications
under §304 of Title III, in which the chemical
identified would have to be revealed, would not
need to be disclosed on the proposed
substantiation form.

9. MSDS Reporting Requirements for Research and
Development Facilities
Upon request by the public, must a Research and
Development facility submit a MSDS for a chemical if
the chemical is exempt from reporting under §311
(311(e)(4)) but not exempt from the OSHA requirement of
having available a MSDS?
No. Under §311, a Research and Development
facility would not be required to report a
chemical if it is used "under the direct
supervision of a technically qualified individual"
(§311 (e)(4)). So, despite the fact that the
facility is required to have a MSDS under OSHA's
Hazard Communication Standard, the facility is not
required to report it under §311 of Title III.
Therefore, the facility would not be required to
submit a MSDS to the public upon request.
