I.     SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS AND RESOLVED ISSUES—MAY 1991

      RCRA

   1.  Comparative Definitions of F001 and F002

      Tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, methylene chloride, and 1,1,1-
      trichloroethylene are listed in the definitions of both F001 and F002 in 40 CFR 261.31.
      The listing for F001 reads "the following spent halogenated solvents used in
      degreasing...", while the F002 listing begins with "the following spent halogenated
      solvents...". Although F001 applies specifically to solvents used in degreasing
      according to the December 31,1985 Federal Register, the F001-F005 listings cover
      only those solvents used for their solvent properties. A solvent used in degreasing
      is considered to be used for its solvent properties. (50 FR 53316) Thus, a solvent,
      which is listed in both F001 and F002 (e.g., methylene chloride) and is used in
      degreasing, could be both F001 and F002. Would such a spent solvent be
      appropriately classified as F001, F002, or both?

            It was not the intent of the Agency to apply both listings to a solvent
            constituent which is listed in both F001 and F002. The waste code that the
            spent solvent receives depends on the type of degreasing involved.  Page 6
            of the "Listing of Hazardous Waste (40 CFR 261.31 and 261.32); Identification
            and Listing of Hazardous Waste Under RCRA, Subtitle C, Section 3001" (also
            known as the Background Listings Document) clarifies the intent of the F001
            listing as opposed to other spent solvents. Specifically, the F001 listing is
                                                                  Printed on Recycled Paper

-------
    1. Comparative Definitions of F001 and F002 (cont'd)

             appropriate when tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, methylene chlor.de,
             and 1,1,1-trichloroethane are used in large-scale industrial degreasing
             operations [e.g., cold cleaning, vapor degreasing (open top and
             conveyorized), and fabric scouring]. Alternatively, tetrachloroethylene,
             trichloroethylene, methylene chloride, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane used in
             equipment cleaning or in smaller scale degreasing operations involving repair
             work (that do not employ industrial degreasing processes as described
             above), such as industrial maintenance and repair, commercial service and
             repair, and consumer-performed maintenance and repair, receive the F002
             listing.

   2. Regulation of Municipal Waste Combustion (MWC) Ash

      Two cities have recently constructed combustion facilities to manage municipal solid
      waste. The first city has an energy recovery plant, while the second has a non-
      energy recovery incinerator. Both units generate a fly and bottom ash.  Would these
      types of ash be subject to RCRA hazardous waste regulation if the ash exhibited a
      toxicity characteristic?

             No.  The ash would not be subject to the 40 CFR 261.24 toxicity characteristic
             (TC) regulation. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 were enacted on
             November 15,1990; Section 306, entitled "Ash Management and Disposal,"
             established that for a period of two years after the date of enactment, MWC
             ash from "solid waste incineration units" would not be regulated as a RCRA
             Subtitle C waste should it exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic of
             ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or  toxicity in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C.
             (Note: MWC ash would not be regulated as a hazardous waste in 40 CFR
             Part 261, Subpart D since it is not a listed source.) The term "ash from solid
             waste incineration units burning municipal waste" includes fly and/or
             bottom ash from both energy recovery and incineration facilities managing
             municipal waste. During the two year moratorium, however, MWC ash
             would be subject to:  1) current federal regulations in 40 CFR Part 257
             governing the disposal of solid waste, 2) state regulations governing solid
             waste disposal; and 3) state regulations governing municipal waste
             combustion ash disposal or utilization/reuse, where they exist.  See also

   3. Underground Storage Tank Flow-Through Process Tank Exclusion

      In a manufacturing operation, a coating, containing regulated substances, is applied
      to a metal part that is manufactured on-site. The coating of the metal part is
      accomplished in the following steps: After machining processes are completed,
      individual metal parts are clipped to the bottom of a chain which is attached at its
      top to an overhead conveyor system. The conveyor carries the metal part to an
      open-topped tank, containing a coating solution.  The tank meets the definition of
      "underground" provided in 40 CFR 280.12  Once over the tank, the conveyor system
      lowers the metal part into the coating solution.  The metal part remains submerged
      in the solution as the conveyor travels the length of the tank at the end of which time
      the conveyor system raises the metal part out of the tank.  The metal part is then
      transported via the conveyor to an area were a facility employee unclips the part
      and places it on a drying pad.  Would this tank be exempt  from the UST regulations
      of 40 CFR Part 280, under the  "flow-through process tank" exclusion of 40 CFR Part
      280.12?

            Yes, the tank would qualify for the exclusion because it meets the three
            necessary conditions to be considered a "flow-through process tank": 1)  forms
            an integral part of a production process, 2) has a steady,  variable, recurring/
            or intermittent flow of materials through the tank during the operation of the
            process, and 3) is not used for the storage of materials prior to their introduc-
            tion into the production process or for the storage of finished products or by-
            products from the production process. These conditions are met because the
            production process (coating) actually occurs in the tank, therefore it is
            integral; and does not store prior to or after production.  The flow is
            intermittent, satisfying condition 2.

   4.  Clarification of CERCLA lll(g). Notice to Potentially Injured Parties

      The owner of a facility identifies a release of a hazardous substance that poses  a
      threat to persons surrounding the facility. The owner is concerned about statutory
      and regulatory requirements for notification to potentially injured parties.
      According to section 11 Kg) of CERCLA, the President shall promulgate rules  and
      regulations with respect to notification to be provided to potentially injured parties
      from a release of a hazardous substance. CERCLA section 11 Kg) states that "(u)ntil
      the promulgation of such rules and regulations, the owner and operator of any
      vessel or facility from which a  hazardous substance has been released shall provide
      reasonable notice to potentially injured parties by publication in the local newspaper
      serving the affected area." Have such regulations been promulgated pursuant to
      CERCLA section 11 Kg), or does the statute contain the only provision for such
      notice?

-------
   4.  Clarification of CERCLA 11 Kg), Notice to Potentially Injured Parties (confd)

            No, regulations have been promulgated pursuant to section 11 Kg) of CERCLA.
            Thus an owner or operator would be required to publish notice to potentially
            injured parties in a newspaper serving the affected area as provided by the
            statute.

SARA TITLE III

   5.  Section 313: Changes in SIC Code

      A facility whose SIC code is outside of the manufacturing sector (20-39) believes that
      their current SIC code is misrepresentative of the facility's activities. In actuality, the
      facility may be better represented by an SIC code within the  manufacturing sector. If
      the facility changes its SIC code to a manufacturing group should they back report for
      calendar years 1987,1988, and 1989 under Section 313 of EPCRA (40 CFR 372)?

            If the facility has not altered their operations and should have been classified
            as a manufacturing facility, they should report for all  the previous years under
            Section 313 of EPCRA. If the mix of activities at the facility shifted from non-
            manufacturing to manufacturing (activities within SIC codes 20-39), then they
            should begin reporting with the year in which the mix changed to
            manufacturing activities.

   6.  Section 313: Reporting Obligation

      A facility receives a shipment of gasoline from a tank-truck.  The loading dock is
      located within the facility boundaries.  The tank-truck delivers gasoline through a
      hose into the tank operated by the facility. While stationed at the dock, the valve of
      the tank-truck ruptures and the gasoline leaks from the hose of the tank-truck. This
      release occurs before the shipping papers are signed off by the facility operator.
      Gasoline contains listed Section 313 chemicals such as benzene.  If an activity
      threshold for benzene is met, would the facility report this release of benzene under
      Section 313 of Title m (40  CFR 372)?

            No.  In the above case, the chemicals in the tank-truck are considered in
            transport until shipping papers are signed for at the loading dock. Section 327
            of the statute states that "(e)xcept as provided in Section 304, this title does not
            apply to the transportation, including the storage incident to such
            transportation, of any substance or chemical subject to the requirements of this

-------
    7.  Section 313: Reporting Obligation (cont'd)

            title, including the transportation and distribution of natural gas." In the
            above scenario, the material in the tank-truck is considered to fall under the
            transportation exemption, and releases from this truck would be exempt from
            reporting under Section 313. This release however would be reportable
            under Section 304 of Title HI, if the quantity of any Extremely Hazardous
            Substances (EHS) released exceeds the RQ within a period of 24 hours.

   8.  Section 313: Employee Threshold

      A facility covered under Section 313 of EPCRA (40 CFR 372) has nine full-time
      employees and one part-time employee. The facility also has an employee who
      works at the facility, but does not draw a salary. Should the hours worked by the
      employee who does not draw a salary be counted towards  the employee threshold
      for the facility?

            Yes.  Even though the employee does not draw a salary he/she is still
            working at the facility. Any hours worked by an employee at the facility
            must be counted towards that  facility's employee threshold.

      During the month of May, the Hotline staff met with a representative from Labat-
      Anderson to discuss the Superfund Health Risk Support Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
      The Hotline Information Specialists attended the Title III Implementation work
      group meeting and OUST staff meeting. The Hotline staff provided research
      projects: i.e., analysis of the burning of hazardous waste in Boilers and Industrial
      Furnace Rule.  Routine administrative meetings were held with the Project Officers
      and Hotline program managers.

(Immediate Final Rule)
EPA proposes to add the White Chemical
Corporation site in Newark, New Jersey, to
the NPL. This action is taken pursuant to
Section 105(a)(8)(B) of CERCLA and Section
300.425(e) of the NCP. The Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) has issued a public health
advisory due to the threat of catastrophic
releases posed by the uncontrolled storage
of hazardous substances at the site, reports
of adverse health effects in  nearby worker
populations, and the evidence of continuous
airborne releases from the site. The public
comment period on this notice extends
through May 9,1991.

The Agency has reviewed Colorado's
application for final authorization of its
hazardous waste program under RCRA and
has made the decision that the Colorado
program revision satisfies all of the
requirements necessary to qualify for final
authorization.  Thus, Colorado now has
primary responsibility for carrying out the
RCRA program within its borders.
Approval of the Colorado hazardous waste
program shall become effective in 60 days
unless an adverse comment is received by
June 10,1991. In the event that an adverse
comment is received, EPA will publish
either a withdrawal of the immediate final
decision, or a notice containing a response
to comments which affirms or reverses the
immediate final decision.

(Interim Final Rule with Request for
Comments)
The State of Georgia has applied for final
approval of its underground storage tank
program under Subtitle I of RCRA. EPA has
determined, subject to public review and
comment, that the Georgia Underground
Storage Tank Program satisfies all of the
requirements necessary to qualify for final
approval. All comments on the Georgia final
approval application must be received by the
close of business on June 10,1991. Final
authorization for the Georgia underground
storage tank program shall be effective at
1:00 p.m. on July 9,1991, unless EPA
publishes a prior Federal Register action
withdrawing this final rule.

On November 2,1990 (55 FR 46354), EPA
added two wastes to 40 CFR 261.31. Those
wastes, designated as F037 and F038, are
generated in the primary and secondary
separation of oil/water/solids from petro-
leum refinery process wastewater and oily
cooling wastewaters. New information
acquired by the Agency since the promulga-
tion of these listings indicates that certain
separation sludges included within the listing
are not similar in constituent concentration or
oil/grease content to other sludges generated
in the separation of oil/water/solids from
petroleum refinery process wastewaters and
oily cooling waters.  Based on the newly
received information, the Agency is
promulgating an interim final rule revising
the definition of wastes subject to F037 and
F038 listings to state that sludges from non-
contact, once-through cooling waters are not
included. The Agency is also amending the
definition of F038 to clarify that floats
generated in aggressive biological treatment
units are not included in the listing
description. The interim final rule is effective
on May 2,1991.  Comments on today's action
and any additional data must be received on
or before June 30,1991.
