3. REGULATORY HISTORY
A. NOTICE OF INTENT TO CANCEL
Prior to .197**, heptachlor (along with a related compound, chlordane) was
registered for a wide variety of Insecticide uses. On November 18, 1974,
the Administrator Issued a notice of Intent to cancel registrations for
most uses of heptachlor (and chlordane). The basis for the notice of
Intent to cancel was evidence that heptachlor and chlordane had demonstrated
toxic effects which may have significant adverse effects on human health,
and evidence that both chemicals persist in the environment for many
years after application, and as such, are subject to considerable movement
from the site of actual application. The evidence on toxlcity Included
a finding that heptachlor and its metabolite, heptachlor epoxide induce
tumors in mice and that there was evidence of embryotoxicity in mice and
rats.
Because of the persistence and wide application of heptachlor and chlordane
products, heptachlor epoxide residues were routinely found in water, food
sources, and human adult and fetal tissue. The Administrator therefore
proposed to cancel all registered uses of chlordane and heptachlor, except
those uses for subterranean tenniticide control (see note) and dipping of
non-food plants.
NOTE: It should be noted that subsequently on October 1, 1987, EPA
issued an Order accepting the voluntary cancellation of
chlordane and heptachlor tenniticide treatment products. A
Notice signed on April 5, 1988, in response to a District Court
ruling established limits on the sale and use of existing stock
of tenniticide products after April 15, 1988.
B. THE SUSPENSION OP HEPTACHLOR PRODUCTS
On July 29, 1975, the Administrator issued a notice of intent to suspend
(pursuant to PIFRA Section 6(c)) the registrations of heptachlor and
chlordane that were subject to the notice of intent to cancel. The
grounds for the notice of intent to suspend were "new evidence ... which
confirm [ed] and heighten [ed] the human cancer hazard posed by [chlordane
and heptachlor]" and the Administrator's determination that the cancellation
proceeding resulting from the notice of intent to cancel would not be
complete [ed] in time to "avert substantial additions of these persistent
and ubiquitous compounds to an already serious human and environmental
burden." The notice of Intent to suspend applied to all uses covered by
the notice of Intent to cancel.
An evidentiary hearing on the proposed suspension took place between
August and December of 1975. On December 12, 1975, the hearing examiner
published a recommended decision dismissing the notice of Intent to suspend.
The basis for this recommendation was the hearing examiner's unwillingness
to find "conclusively" that heptachlor and chlordane were (are) carcinogens
in laboratory animals.
-------
Included in the reccnmended decision was a discussion of the use of
heptachlor for seed treatment. The document noted that inadequate
alternatives for seed treatment existed at that time. The hearing examiner
recommended that heptachlor ,for seed treatment not be suspended even if
the Administrator were to disagree with the examiner on the question of
the hazard posed by chlordane and heptachlor.
On December 24, 1975, the Administrator issued his decision on the proposed
suspension of chlordane and heptachlor products. The Administrator
ordered a suspension of a number of chlordane and heptachlor uses during
the pendency of the cancellation hearing.
As to seed treatment, however, the Administrator found that no adequate
alternatives to treatment with heptachlor existed at that time, and
therefore found that the benefit from heptachlor for seed treatment
exceeded the risks of such use during the time necessary to complete the
cancellation hearing. Heptachlor for seed treatment was thus not one of
the uses suspended by the Administrator.
C. SETTLEMENT OF THE CANCELLATION PROCEEDING
The cancellation proceeding continued until November of 1977, at which
time the parties entered into settlement negotiations. The negotiations
resulted in an agreement which was ratified in a Final Order issued by
the Administrator on March 6, 1978. The Final Order resulted in the eventual
cancellation of all products subject to the original notice of intent to
cancel notice. For seed treatment, the effective date of cancellation was
September 1, 1982 for barley, oats, wheat, rye and corn, and July 1, 1983
for sorghum. The Order also contained production limitations; production
of heptachlor for seed treatment was limited to 175,000 pounds annually
from 1978 to 1982, and to 100,000 pounds in 1983. These production
limitations were intentionally less than the use of heptachlor for seed
treatment purposes in 1976 (which was 200,000 pounds).
The purpose of the phased cancellations was to provide a "transition
period" to allow users to make an orderly adjustment to alternative crops
or pest control technologies where possible or to promote development of
alternative pest control technologies where none then existed.
D. EXISTING STOCKS DETERMINATION
The sale and use of existing stocks of pesticide products cancelled after
a notice of intent to cancel is issued pursuant to Section 6(b) of PIFRA
are controlled by Section 6(«$(1) of FIFRA. It provides in part,"... the
Administrator may permit the continued sale and use of existing stocks of
a pesticide whose registration is canceled under [Section 6(b)] to such
extent as he may specify if he determines that such sale or use is not
inconsistent with the purposes of [FIFRA] and will not have unreasonable
adverse effects on the environment."
-------
At the time the Agency issued the Final Order, it was expected based
upon the use practices at that time that sale and use of existing stocks
of cancelled products would cease approximately within one year of the
effective "cancellation date. The existing stocks allowance and phased
cancellation was to result in approximately a six year transition period
for users of heptachlor treated seeds to adapt alternative management
practices after 1978.
The six year transitional period contemplated in 1984 ended over four
years ago. Ihe Agency believes that ten years is more than sufficient
time for users to find alternatives to heptachlor seed treatment.
Moreover, although some heptachlor continues to be used for seed treatment
purposes, the transition away from heptachlor seed treatment has largely
been completed (the amount of heptachlor used for seed treatment in 1987
was only 1% of the amount used in 1974).
While the benefits associated with heptachlor seed treatment have greatly
diminished in the past ten years, the Agency's general concerns with the
use of heptachlor have not diminished.
In addition, in late January and early February of 1986, the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) found very high levels of heptachlor and trans-chlordane
in finished livestock feeds.
A fermentation/distillation firm purchased and used obsolete pesticide
treated seed grain in their fermentation process. Ihe spent distillers
mash was, in turn, used in the manufacture of finished animal feeds and
fed to dairy cattle. When FDA tested the milk from dairy herds fed the
contaminated feed, the levels of heptachlor epoxide (an animal metobolite
of heptachlor) found exceeded, by as much as 75 times, the FDA action
level of 0.1 ppm for heptachlor epoxide in the milk fat.
As the result of this one incident, taxpayers have already incurred more
than ten million dollars in investigative and Indemnification costs.
Total losses for all affected parties are expected to exceed sixteen million
dollars.
FDA and USDA subsequently carried out an extensive investigation to
determine how frequently obsolete pesticide treated seeds were being fed
illegally to meat and/or milk producing animals or had entered the livestock
feed markets. In over 1000 investigations, well over 100 violations were
found. Feeding of obsolete heptachlor treated seed was Involved in at
least two of these additional violations.
EPA subsequently has determined that sizable inventories of cancelled
heptachlor seed treatment products remain in the channels of trade. At the
present levels of use, these products would be available for use for the
next 70 years.
-------
As previously stated, under Section 6 (a)(l), the Agency may permit the
continued sale and use of existing stocks of a cancelled pesticide only
if the Agency determines that such sale and use is consistent with FIFRA
and does not result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.
Under the circumstances, the Agency can no longer find that continued
sale or use of heptachlor for seed treatment will not have an unreasonable
adverse effect on the environment. The Agency therefore no longer believes
that such sale or use is consistent with Section 6(a)(l) of FIFRA.
The Agency accordingly served notice in the Federal Register of
that sale or use of stocks of heptachlor for seed treatment is no longer
permitted, and that any further sale or use shall be a violation of Section
12(a)(l)(A) and/or Section 12(a)(2)(K) of FIFRA.
While any further use of heptachlor for seed treatment is not permitted,
existing stocks of seed grain previously treated with heptachlor may be
sold and planted in accordance with good agronomic practices.
4. GUIDANCE ON THE STATUS OF HEPTACHLOR SEED TREATMENT PRODUCTS AS
HAZARDOUS WASTES
Unused quantities of cancelled heptachlor seed treatment products can
no longer be used as directed on their label. They, therefore, fit the
definition of a solid waste as defined in 40 CFR 261.2 and 261.33 when
they are discarded or held with the intent to discard.
A hazardous waste is any solid waste which has been listed as a hazardous
waste in 40 CFR Part 261 Subpart D or a solid waste which exhibits any of
the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in 40 CFR Part 261
Subpart C ignitability, §261.21; corrosivity, §261.22; reactivity,
§261.23; and/or E.P. toxicity, §261.24.
Heptachlor is listed as an acutely hazardous waste (P059) in 40 CFR
§26l.33(e). Any unused heptachlor seed treatment products, rinsate or
containers which have not been properly cleared (triple rinsed as defined
§261,7) are therefore acutely hazardous wastes, as defined in 40 CFR
§261.33(e) if they are discarded or intended for discard.
Any person by site who holds cancelled heptachlor seed treatment products
when they become wastes is a "generator" of hazardous wastes as defined
in 40 CFR Part 261. A generator must comply with the requirements of
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and any other applicable
Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.
Those who hold cancelled heptachlor seed treatment products at the time they
become wastes are defined as "generators" and they fall into one of three
categories of waste generators. They are:
a. Conditionally Exempt Generator - one who currently holds or
generates no more than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of acutely
-------
hazardous waste [heptachlor seed treatment products, a listed
acutely hazardous waste (P059)] and who generates no more than
100 kilograms (220 pounds) of other hazardous waste in any
calendar month.
A conditionally exempt generator is not required to obtain
a permit or interim status (40 CFR Part 261.5). He/she, however,
is required to:
* Identify all hazardous waste held or generated, §261.5(c).
* Send the hazardous waste to an authorized facility,
§261.5(f)(3).
' Never accumulate more than 1000 kilograms (2200 pounds)
of hazardous waste and/or more than 1 kilogram (2.2
pounds) of acutely hazardous waste on his/her property,
§261.5(f)(2) and (g)(2).
Acutely hazardous waste (P059) may be held [up to 1 kilogram
(2.2 pounds)] in containers which are in good condition (do not
leak) and are compatible with the waste.
Small Quantity Generator - one who holds or generates no more than 1
kilogram (2.2 pounds) of acutely hazardous waste [heptachlor seed
treatment products, a listed acutely hazardous waste (PO59)] and
generates between 100 and 1,000 kilograms (220 to 2,200 pounds) of
other hazardous waste in any calendar month.
A small quantity generator must comply with the requirements
of 40 CFR Part 262, Standards Applicable to Generators of Hazardous
Waste including obtaining an EPA ID number, using the Uniform
Hazardous Waste Manifest, accumulating waste in accordance with
§ 262.34(d) and complying with recordkeeping,and reporting
requirements of §262.40(a), (c) and (d); § 262.42(b); and
§262.43.
Small quantity generators who choose to store or treat beyond
the allowances provided in 262.34(d)-(f) or to dispose of
hazardous wastes or acutely hazardous wastes at their own
facilities are subject to the full regulatory requirements of
40 CFR Parts §264 through §270 which pertain to the operation,
maintenance and permitting of treatment, storage and disposal
facilities.
Generators must send heptachlor seed treatment products that
are not treated or disposed of on site to a hazardous waste
facility permitted to accept them.
Generator - one who holds or generates more than 1 kilogram (2.2
pounds) of acutely hazardous waste [heptachlor seed treatement
products, a listed acutely hazardous waste (P059)] or more than
1,000 kilograms (2,200 pound) of hazardous waste in any calendar
month.
-------
7
A hazardous waste "generator" as defined above must comply with
all applicable hazardous waste management requirements set forth
in 40 CFR Part 262, Standards Applicable to Generators of Hazardous
Waste. Those who choose to transport their own hazardous waste
must comply with 40 CFR Part 263, Standards Applicable to
Transporters of Hazardous Waste.
If a generator stores his/her waste for longer than 90 days,
then he/she must obtain a RCRA hazardous waste storage permit
and comply with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 264 and 40 CFR
Part 265. An extension of 30 days may be granted by the Regional
Administrator under certain emergency situations.
Generators who choose to store or to treat beyond the allowances
provided in § 262.34(a) or to dispose of hazardous wastes or acutely
hazardous wastes at their own facilities are subject to the full
regulatory requirements of 40 CFR Parts 264 through 270 which
pertain to the operation, maintenance and permitting of treatment,
storage and disposal facilities.
Generators must send heptachlor seed treatment products that are
not treated or disposed of on-site to a hazardous waste facility
permitted to accept them.
'obsolete seed, which are no longer viable or suitable for planting and
which have been treated with heptachlor are not "listed" hazardous wastes
in 40 CFR 261 Subpart D. Their status as "characteristic" hazardous
wastes under 40 CFR Subpart C 261.20 through 261.24 and 40 CFR Part 261
Appendix I, II and III must be determined by the generator under 40 CFR
261.11.
It should be kept in mind, however, that some serious environmental inpacts
have resulted from the inappropriate disposal of obsolete heptachlor-treated
seeds. Every effort should be made to plant existing stocks of
heptachlor-treated seeds in accordance with good agronomic practices
before they become obsolete.
Should the generator find that obsolete heptachlor-treated seed is a
"characteristic" hazardous waste under 40 CFR 262.11, then the seed may be
stored, treated or disposed of only at a permitted hazardous waste facility.
EPA recommends giving serious consideration to incineration.
On the other hand, if after the aforementioned analysis, the obsolete
heptachlor-treated seeds are determined to be non-hazardous, the obsolete
heptachlor-treated seeds could be landfilled in accordance with the individual
state and local requirements for disposal of solid waste. If landfill of
the seed is not viable in your area, then consideration must again be
given to incineration as the appropriate means of destruction.
