INTRODUCTION
This book is the second edition of a handbook designed to form the basis for understanding
regulatory and technical references needed to plan a removal response so that hazardous wastes
may be disposed of in the most efficient, cost effective manner. Planning and coordinating a
CERCLA removal action requires considering and implementing a variety of statutes and EPA,
OSHA, and DOT regulations, policies, guidance, and directives as they apply to investigating
technological assessment, treatment, and disposal alternatives. The relevant statutory and
regulatory documents are convoluted at best and at worst create a labyrinth where the twin
minotaurs of high costs and delays lie in wait for the unwary. While the Emergency Rapid Support
Services contractor actually arranges for disposal of the hazardous substances generated from a
Superfund removal action, the OSC needs to understand the disposal process and its ramifications
to contain the cost of the removal response and to ensure compliance with the statutes and
regulations.
This manual may be viewed as a companion piece to the Hazard Evaluation Handbook: A Guide to
Removal Actions, also published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III,
Superfund Removal Branch. The Hazard Evaluation Handbook presents a qualitative approach to
assessing a hazardous waste site; in it are discussions of where to look for the threats presented by
a site and how to recognize them. Once a threat is recognized as existing, it must be quantified so
that the best alternatives can be selected for eliminating it. This manual discusses the steps
involved in quantifying the threat effectively and in selecting appropriate disposal options.
In Chapters 1 and 2, evaluation and disposal of hazardous waste streams are discussed within the
context of complying with RCRA and applicable DOT regulations. In Chapters 3 and 4, hazardous
waste disposal is discussed from the perspective of commercial disposal facilities and their
specifications. Discussions in Chapters 5, 6, and 7 are focussed on technical applications to meet
both regulatory and commercial requirements. Various specialty wastes are discussed briefly in
Chapter 8. The information presented in Chapters 1 through 6 is put into practice in the example
hazardous waste site problem presented in the Appendix. This example goes from initial
assessment, through determining waste streams and preparing waste profiles, to final transport,
disposal, and record-keeping.

CHAPTER 1
FEDERAL RCRA REQUIREMENTS
(40 CFR references 7/1/97 revision)
Subchapter I: Identification of Wastes (RCRA Classifications)
In the event of a response action at a Superfund site, the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA), Section 121(d)(3), requires that off-site disposal of
substances defined as being hazardous pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) comply with the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to ensure disposal in the most
environmentally sound manner. RCRA governs the disposal of all wastes which are
referred to in the statue as "solid wastes." "Solid wastes" can be gaseous, liquid, or
solid in physical state. In RCRA these physical states are labeled as "gaseous,"
"liquid," and "non-liquid," respectively.
Regulations to govern the identification, handling, and proper disposal of hazardous
wastes were established by RCRA as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments (HSWA). These regulations are based on the hazardous constituents in a
waste, the hazardous characteristics of a waste and/or the conditions under which the
waste was derived.
Step 1: Exclusions and Exemptions Exclusions and exemptions to all or part of the
solid and hazardous waste regulations are listed in 40 CFR 261.4. These exclusions
and exemptions should be examined as the first step in the evaluation of a substance
for disposal. The exclusions listed are for specific waste products and include, but are
not limited to: domestic sewage, irrigation return flows, household hazardous wastes,
and samples collected for the sole purpose of characterization. Many additional
process specific exemptions are listed in 40 CFR261.4
Step 2: Is the waste a RCRA Hazardous Waste? If a substance to be disposed of is
not excluded from solid and/or hazardous waste regulations, then the generator of the
waste further applies federal statutes and regulations to establish whether the waste is
hazardous. A solid waste that contains any regulated hazardous constituents may be
considered hazardous. The concentration of the hazardous constituents or the source
from which the hazardous constituents were derived will affect the classification of the
waste. A list of RCRA hazardous constituents is provided in Table 1-2. Other
hazardous wastes, which may not appear on the hazardous constituents list, include
materials which demonstrate the characteristics of ignitability, corrosivity or reactivity
as defined by RCRA.
The EPA has established sampling and test procedures to quantitatively determine if a
waste is hazardous. These procedures are described in the "Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods" section of EPA publication SW-
846 and will be discussed in Chapter 5 of this manual.
Once a waste has been determined to be hazardous, the third step in evaluating it for
disposal is to apply RCRA hazardous waste codes to the waste and/or determine if the

Federal RCRA Requirements
waste requires special handling as a California-listed waste. This part of the process
requires exploring the RCRA code lists and the California list.
RCRA waste codes are divided into five categories, each category identified with a
letter of the alphabet. These categories are the "U", "P", "K", "F", and "D" codes. The
"U" and "P" list of waste codes are found in 40 CFR 261.33 and pertain to discarded
commercial chemical product, off-specification species, container residues and
spill residues. "U" indicates that the compound is listed due to its toxicity,
while "P" indicates that the compound is listed due to its acute toxicity. "U" and "P"
listed wastes fall into the following six groups.
1. Unused commercial chemical products,
2. Unused materials which were meant to be commercial chemical products but
which were not made correctly,
3. Unused chemical manufacturing intermediates which are essentially technical
grade chemicals,
4. Unused chemical manufacturing intermediates which would have been
essentially technical grade chemicals if they had been made correctly.
5. Container residues of the first four items,
6. Spill residues and spill cleanup residues of the first five items.,
It is unlikely that the OSC, who assumes the role of generator at a CERCLA removal
action, will be able to verify the history of any container contents or spills, making it
unlikely that "U" or "P" codes will be used on a Superfund site.
The "K" list of waste codes is found in 40 CFR 261.32 and pertains to hazardous
wastes from specific sources. K-listed wastes are generated by specific processes
involving wood preservation, inorganic pigments, organic chemicals, inorganic
chemicals, pesticides, petroleum refining, iron and steel, primary copper, primary lead,
primary zinc, primary aluminum, ferroalloys, secondary lead, veterinary
Pharmaceuticals, ink formulation, and coking. K-listings are also unlikely to be used
at a Superfund site unless the site is a chemical processing plant.
The "F" list of waste codes is found in 40 CFR 261.31 and pertains to hazardous
wastes from non-specific sources, which include generic processes. F-listed wastes
fall into the following eight groups.
1. Spent (.used) halogenated solvents or non-halogenated solvents (F001 - F005).
2. Spent baths or other wastes from electroplating operations (F006 - F012).
3. Certain metal finishing wastes (F019).
4. Waste solvents from the production of chlorinated hydrocarbons or dioxin
precursors (F020 - F026).
5. Unused and incinerator residues of dioxin and dioxin precursor wastes (FO27
and F028).
6. Wood treating wastes (F032 - F035).
7. Petroleum refinery wastes (oil/water/sludge separation wastes) (F037- F038).
8. Land fill leachate (F039).
("Spent" means used material that can no longer be used for its original purpose
without being cleaned.)

"D" codes pertain to characteristic wastes as defined in 40 CFR 261.21- 261.24 and are
divided into the following four groups:
1. D001 code for the characteristic of ignitability includes the following:
- liquids with a flash point of less than 140°F;
- solids that can cause fire and burn vigorously and persistently when ignited
(includes Department of Transportation (DOT) flammable solids,
spontaneously combustible, and dangerous when wet hazard classes);
- ignitable compressed gases (DOT flammable gases);
- DOT oxidizers.
2. D002 code for the characteristic of corrosivity includes the following:
- liquids with a pH below 2 or above 12.5 and
- liquids which corrode steel faster than 0.25 inches per year.
3. D003 code for the characteristic of reactivity includes the following:
- any waste that undergoes violent change without detonating;
- any waste that when mixed with water reacts violently, forms explosive
mixtures, or generates toxic gases, vapors, or fumes;
- any waste that gives off cyanide or sulfide gases in sufficient quantity to
present a danger to human health or the environment when the pH is between
2 and 12.5; and
- any waste that may spontaneously explode, or is a DOT defined explosive.
4. Codes D004 through D043 apply to metal, pesticide and organic contaminants in a
waste at concentrations above the regulatory level as determined by the Toxicity
Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP). Such wastes are referred to as the
toxicity characteristic wastes. The code for each contaminant and its regulatory
limit are as follows in Table 1-1:

California List Wastes:
California-listed wastes are wastes adopted by federal RCRA from the state of
California to avoid any loopholes in the identification and subsequent disposal of
materials which may be hazardous. RCRA requires the appropriate disposal of the
following California-listed wastes per 40 CFR 268.42 (a):
1. Hazardous wastes containing nickel greater than or equal to 134 mg/L;
2. Hazardous liquid wastes with PCBs greater than or equal to 50 ppm;
3. Hazardous wastes with halogenated organic compounds (HOC's) greater
than 1,000 mg/kg;
4. Hazardous wastes containing thallium, greater than or equal to 130 mg/L.
Handling and disposal of PCB waste are governed under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA), 40 CFR 761. It is important to note that with the exception of
PCBs, the other California-listed wastes will probably have an associated RCRA
waste code. Regulations which relate to a waste code take precedence over
California lists with the exception of PCBs.
A flow chart is provided in Figure 1-1 to assist with the applicability of a waste code
to a waste.
The regulations concerning the hazardous waste identification system currently
regard a waste as hazardous under the "mixed-waste" rule or the "derived-from" rule.
The mixed-waste rule defines a waste as hazardous if a listed or a characteristic waste
has been mixed with a non-hazardous waste, even if the final mixture does not
demonstrate levels or characteristics of hazardous waste. The derived-from rule
defines a waste as hazardous if at any time the waste contained or was defined as a
listed hazardous waste (U-, P-, K-, or F-listed wastes), even after it has been treated
according to existing regulations.
-------
Federal RCRA Requirements
Snbchapter II: Pre-transport Requirements, RCRA Land Disposal Restriction
Notifications and Manifest Requirements
Besides regulating the disposal of hazardous waste, RCRA regulates the handling and
storage of hazardous waste prior to disposal. The generator of hazardous waste must
first obtain an EPA identification number, then package, label, and mark waste
containers of 110 gallons or less in accordance with 40 CFR 262 and 49 CFR 172,
173,178 and 179 (DOT) prior to offering hazardous waste for transport off site. EPA
ID numbers are assigned to removal sites through the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS).
Regulations pertaining to actual transport are discussed in detail in Chapter 2 (DOT).
Several forms of documentation must accompany each shipment of waste to an
authorized, designated disposal facility. Among these documents are land disposal
restriction (LDR) notifications, which state that a particular waste must be treated by
a specific technology (treatment technologies) or that the regulated hazardous
constituents must be reduced to levels below a set concentration value (treatment
standards). The LDR notification from the generator to the disposal facility must
include the following:
• The generator's EPA ID number;
• The manifest umber of the shipment;
• The applicable LDR references for the waste codes from the 40 CFR 268.41,
268.42 and/or 268.43; and
• The treatment standard (concentration value) for each hazardous constituent in
F001, F002, F003, F004, F005, F039 and California-listed wastes.
The purpose of the LDR notifications is to provide the disposal facility with the
information needed to determine the extent of treatment and the test method used to
make that determination.
In 40 CFR 268.41, treatment standards are listed as Constituent Concentrations of a
Waste Extract (CCWE). Regulated constituents with concentration values are listed
for specific waste codes. The concentration values are based on leachability test
results, which means the treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSD) must run
TCLP analysis on the waste after treatment. All constituent concentrations must be
below regulated TCLP values before the waste can be landfilled.
In 40 CFR 268.43, treatment standards are listed as Constituent Concentrations of
Waste (CCW). Regulated constituents with concentration values are listed for
specific waste codes. The concentration values are based on total results, not on
TCLP results. All constituent concentrations must be below regulated total values
before the waste can be landfilled.

Federal RCRA Requirements
The first step to referencing LDRs is to determine if the waste is wastewater or non-
wastewater. Wastewater is waste consisting primarily of water with less than one
percent total organic carbon (TOC) and less than one percent total suspended solids
(TSS). Non-wastewater is water that does not meet the definition of waste water.
The second step to referencing LDRs is to look up each waste code in 40 CFR
268.41,268.42, and 268.43 and note where each code is listed. For F codes and
California-listed wastes, also note the concentration values for the hazardous
constituents in the waste. Finally, if the constituents of a U-, P-, K-, or F-listed waste
exhibit D-listed characteristics, causing a D-code to be assigned also, the generator
does not have to provide the treatment technology for the D-code as long as the
treatment standard under U, P, K, or F meets or exceeds the treatment standard for the
D characteristic (i.e., destroys the D characteristic).
In addition to LDR notifications, a manifest must accompany each shipment of
hazardous waste. The manifest is a modified bill of lading for the purpose of
transporting, documenting, and reporting hazardous waste shipments. The manifest
meets the bill of lading requirements for hazardous material transportation under the
DOT. Directions on the completion of a manifest are usually printed on the back of
the document. The federal requirements for the completion of a uniform hazardous
waste manifest are provided in the appendix of 40 CFR 262.
Individual states may also print and require the use of state-specific manifests with
additional requirements. If the receiving state prints a manifest (i.e., the state in
which the designated disposal facility is located), the generator is required to use the
manifest for that state. If the receiving state does not print a manifest, the generator
uses the generator state's manifest, if available. If neither state prints a manifest, the
generator can use a federal uniform hazardous waste manifest. Details on particular
transportation requirements on the uniform manifest are covered in Chapter 2 (DOT).
Subchapter HI: Post Transportation Requirements
Copies of the manifest are used in the "cradle to grave" waste tracking system
established by RCRA. The flow chart in Figure 1-2 depicts the use of manifest
copies in the tracking system. Individual states may or may not require the generator
to submit a copy of the manifest. If the receiving state (receiving facility's state)
provides a manifest, refer to copy distribution directions on the back of the manifest.
If the receiving state does not supply a manifest, it is unlikely that the state has a
tracking system in place. Always check generator state requirements at the onset of a
project.
It is important to note that the generator is responsible for ensuring that a shipment of
waste has reached its destination. A copy of each manifest signed by the receiving
facility is returned to the generator as a "certification of receipt." If the generator does
not receive the returned, signed manifest within 35 days of the shipment, he or she
must determine the location and status of the waste. Certifications of receipt must be
maintained by the generator for three years.
Biennial Report and Notification of Waste Activity Reports
In addition to maintaining manifest records, the generator must also file a biennial

report with the Regional Administrator or the generator's state (if the state has an
authorized waste program) by March 1 of each even numbered year. The report,
filed on EPA Form 8700-13 A, tells how wastes were classified, the quantities
removed, and disposal method for the reporting period. The form provides space to
report activities of the previous year and changes in activities since the previous
year. Some state programs require a similar report to be filed annually instead of
biennially. Detailed instructions for completion are available with the biennial
report forms and thus are not detailed in this manual.
Last, but not least, when a site is completed and no additional waste disposal is
anticipated, the OSC should file a Notification of Regulated Waste Activity Report
with the generator's state. The submission of this report notifies the state that no
additional waste generation and disposal are anticipated at the site and completes the
record-keeping process.
Subchapter IV: Summary of RCRA Hazardous Waste Management
Requirements
1. To determine if a substance to be disposed of is regulated as a hazardous waste,
the generator must determine if the substance is or was derived from a U-, P-, K,
or F-listed, characteristic, or California-listed waste. Changes to the hazardous
waste identification system have been proposed.
2. The Department of Transportation (DOT) governs hazardous waste packaging
and labeling requirements.
3. Land disposal restriction notifications and manifests must accompany each
shipment of waste.
4. Generators are required to obtain a certification of receipt for each shipment of
waste to a disposal facility and must submit biennially a report to the EPA by
March '1 of even-numbered years. This report details the classification of wastes
generated, quantities removed, and disposal method.

CHAPTER 2
FEDERAL DOT REGULATIONS FOR THE HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION
OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES AND HAZARDOUS WASTE
Subchapter I: Introduction to the DOT Hazardous Materials Transportation
Regulations
Transportation requirements are specific to the mode of transportation, such as air,
water or ground. Ground transportation can be further divided into highway,
passenger, and rail. This manual will concentrate on highway transportation of
hazardous materials, which is the normal mode of hazardous waste transportation from
a removal site.

Subchapter C Hazardous
Materials Regulations
Part 171 General
Information,
Regulations, and
Definitions
Subchapter II: DOT Hazardous Materials Descriptions and Hazard '
Classifications
Hazardous wastes and hazardous substances transported off site for treatment and/or
disposal must comply with the DOT hazardous materials requirements. The DOT
defines a hazardous material as a substance or material that is capable of posing an
unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce. DOT
hazardous materials include all hazardous substances as defined by CERCLA and
hazardous wastes as defined by RCRA.
The DOT Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) in 49 CFR Part 172. 101 provides
references to other sections of 49 CFR from which may be obtained proper
packaging guidelines for both bulk and non-bulk transportation of hazardous
materials, special provisions or exemptions, and container labeling requirements, all
according to shipping names. Thus, the proper shipping name must be assigned to a
waste to determine all other applicable DOT requirements. The HMT lists possible
shipping names in column 2 in alphabetical order. The majority of the shipping
names are chemical compounds and mixtures. The numerical code listed in column
3 of the HMT represents the hazard class division of the particular material. The
DOT hazard class definitions and references to 49 CFR follow.

Hazard Class:
A. Class 1 - Explosives (49 CFR 173.50)
Any material which functions by explosion (extremely rapid release of gas and
heat) either from design or from inherent chemical characteristics, unless
otherwise classed. Divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 are in this class.
B. Class 2-Gases .(49 CFR 173.115)
2.1 Flammable gases
2.2 Non-flammable, non-poisonous compressed gases (including compressed

gas, liquefied gas, pressurized cryogenic gas, compressed gas in solution,
asphyxiant gas, and oxidizing gas)
2.3 Gas poisonous by inhalation (see 173.116 for required assignment of hazard
zone)
C. Class 3 - Ignitable Liquids (49 CFR 173.120)
Flammable liquids: flash point (FP) < 141°F
Combustible liquids: 141°F < FP < 200°F
(Note: Flammable liquids with a flash point of 100°F to 141°F may also be
classed as combustible.)
D. Class 4 - Ignitable Solids (49 CFR 173.124)
4.1 Flammable solids: Desensitized explosives (wetted with an appropriate
media to suppress explosive properties), self-reactive materials (undergo
strong exothermic decomposition at normal or elevated temperatures),
readily combustible solids (matches, powdered metals).
4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials: Pyrophoric materials (materials that
without an external source of ignition can ignite within 5 minutes after
coming in contact with air), self-heating materials (self heat when reacting
with air).
4.3 Dangerous When Wet Materials: Materials that either are spontaneously
flammable or give off flammable or toxic gases when in contact with water.
E. Class 5 - Oxidizing Materials (49 CFR 173.127)
5.1 Oxidizers: Materials that may cause or enhance the combustion of other
materials, generally by yielding oxygen.
5.2 Organic peroxides: Organic compounds containing oxygen in a bivalent 0-0
structure, which may be considered a derivative of hydrogen peroxide (an
- organic peroxide). If the DOT lists a particular peroxide as an explosive,
then it is classed for transportation purposes as an explosive, not as an
oxidizer. Note: The table in 49 CFR 173.225 (b) lists organic peroxides
by technical name.
F. Class 6 - Toxic Materials (49 CFR 173.132 - 173.134)
6.1 Poisonous materials: A material other than a gas which is known to be so
toxic to humans as to afford a hazard to health during transportation.
Poison inhalation hazards: 49CFR173.133 establishes hazard zone criteria
for materials which pose a poison inhalation hazard to humans. The hazard
zone ranking system starts with the letter "A" for the most severe hazards
and extends to the letter "D" for the least severe hazards. Certain materials
which are not defined as Class 6.1 are defined by the DOT as "poison
inhalation hazards." Likewise, not all Class 6.1 materials meet the criteria
of a "poison inhalation hazard."
6.2 Infectious substances or etiologic agents: Diagnostic specimens (human or
animal material), biological product (investigational drugs) and regulated
medical wastes containing an infectious or potentially infectious substance.
21
-------
Federal DOT Regulations
This category includes agents listed in 42 CFR 72.3 (Department of Health
and Human Services or DHHS).
G. Class 7 - Radioactive Materials (49 CFR 173.401 -173.478)
Any material having a specific activity greater than 70Bq per gram.
Radioactive materials constitute a special case, and will not be covered in detail
in this manual. In addition to 49 CFR, 10 CFR Part 71 must also be consulted
prior to packaging and transportation of radioactive materials.
H. Class8-CorrosiveMaterials(49CFR 173.136)
Liquids or solids that cause full thickness destruction to human skin at the site
of contact, or liquids that rapidly corrode steel or aluminum.
I. Class 9 - Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials (49 CFR 173.140)
Includes hazardous substances and hazardous wastes that do not meet any other
DOT hazard classification and elevated temperature materials (e.g., hot tar).
Packing Group:
The packing group for each description is depicted in column 5 of the HMT as I, n
or III and represents the degree of hazard associated with each hazard classification.
Packing group I represents a high hazard, n is a medium hazard and m is a low
hazard. The packing group must be determined for materials that are described with
a generic hazard classification. The determination of the packing group for a
mixture can best be done by evaluating the listing in the HMT for the constituent(s)
that causes the material to be assigned to a particular hazard class. The packing
group for a flammable liquid can be assigned from data on the material's flash point
and boiling point as follows:

provisions for the shipping description. The special provisions are listed according to
numerical/alphabetical codes. Definitions and specific directives are presented in 49
CFR172.102 Special Provisions, for each code represented. A code in Column 7
should be a flag to the generator that special handling may be required for the listed
material. For example, codes "1" through "6" represent materials which are poisonous
by inhalation.

-------
Federal DOT Regulations'
Waste Mixtures:
If the waste mixture to be transported can be assigned to more than one hazard
classification, the material must be classed according to the highest applicable
hazard. A material that meets the definition of Class I (explosives), Division 5.2
(organic peroxides), Division 4.1 (wetted explosives), or Division 6.2 (infectious
substances) is always classed as such regardless of any other hazards associated with
the material, due to the unique properties associated with these categories. The
following hazard classes take precedence over the remaining hazard classes in the
order listed:
Radioactives (Class 7)
Poisonous gases (Division 2.3)
Flammable gases (Division 2.1)
Non-flammable gases (Division 2.2)
Poisonous liquids, PGI, poisonous by inhalation (Division 6.1)
Pyrophorics (Division 4.2)
Self-reactives (Division 4.1)
The Precedence of Hazard Table in 49 CFR 173.2a must be consulted to determine
the highest applicable hazard for mixtures that meet more than one of the following
classes:

The precedence of the above classifications depends on the packaging group of the
material. The classifications "combustible liquids" (Class 3) and "miscellaneous
hazardous materials" (Class 9) are only used when no other hazard class can be
applied.
Subchapter HI: General DOT Hazardous Materials Packaging Requirements
All hazardous materials must be packaged according to DOT specifications prior to
shipment. The process of determining the proper packaging specifications has several
steps.
As with most regulations, gaining an understanding of regulatory definitions and the
application of general exemptions to the regulations is the first step in evaluating
hazardous waste packaging requirements. Hazardous material packagings for highway
transportation are subdivided into bulk and non-bulk containers. Bulk containers have
a capacity of greater than 119 gallons (450 liters) for liquids and greater than 883
pounds (400 kilograms) for solids, and have no intermediate form of containment.
Non-bulk containers have a capacity of less than 119 gallons or 882 pounds.

Federal DOT Regulations
Packaging Exemptions:
The DOT requires all packages used for a particular hazardous material or hazard
class to pass DOT tests to ensure that the containers will not allow the release of the
hazardous material under normal transportation conditions or during a typical
transportation incident. General requirements for non-bulk packages are listed in 49
CFR 173.24a and include the following: inner packaging to be contained with the
closures upright, inner packaging to be cushioned to prevent friction and breakage,
and proper filling of the containers to be based on specific gravity and vapor
pressure of the material. General requirements for bulk packages are listed in 49
CFR 132.24b and relate to filling limits and methods, and to container structural
requirements.
The use of salvage drums (incorrectly referred to as "overpacks") is common on
removal sites. DOT-defined "salvage drums" are used to contain damaged, defective
or leaking packages for transport for disposal or repackaging. A salvage drum
manufactured prior to October 1, 1993, is subject to provisions brought into effect on
September 30,1992. These provisions allow for the use of any drum that has
structural integrity equal to or greater than that required for the hazardous material to
be contained, and that does not exceed a maximum capacity of 110 gallons. Salvage
drums manufactured after October 1,1993; must meet DOT specifications and testing
requirements and may not exceed 119 gallons in capacity. The new. salvage drum
provisions still require cushioning and absorbent to prevent movement of the interior
package and to eliminate the release of any free flowing liquids. "Overpack" refers to
an enclosure that is used to provide protection for a package or packages; it can only
be used if the requirements of 49 CFR 173.25 are met.
DOT drum packaging specifications for many hazardous materials only allow closed
head drums (drums with bung openings instead of a removable lid) to be used for
transport. However, DOT provides for exemption to this rule for hazardous waste.
Under this exemption, open head drums may be used if the waste substance cannot
be physically placed into a closed head drum.
Previously-used containers may be reused once to transport waste without being
subject to the reconditioning and testing requirements established in 49 CFR 173.28
and 178.
Two or more different waste materials, which are chemically compatible, and are
less than 4 liters (1 gallon) each, may be packed in the same shipping container as a
"lab pack." The "lab pack" exemption for the transportation of laboratory wastes is
discussed in further detail in Chapter 8.
Packaging Selection:
The second step in determining DOT packing specifications for a specific waste is to
reference the HMT (49 CFR 172. 1 0 1). Each hazardous material's shipping name
listed in column 2 of the table has applicable packaging regulations (CFR sections)
referenced in column 7 (special provisions) and in column 8 (packaging
authorizations). Column 8 is further divided into column 8A (exemptions), column
8B (non-bulk packagings), and column 8C (bulk packagings).

The special provision references listed in column 7 of the HMT are coded according
to the applicable mode of transportation and bulk and non-bulk packaging. Special
provision codes referenced in column 7 of the HMT are defined as follows:
Numbers-only codes refer to bulk and non-bulk packaging.
• "A" refers to transportation by aircraft.
• "B" refers to bulk packages only.

freight containers designed to be used in several modes of transportation
such as highway and rail.)

The provisions in column 7 impose limitations or additional requirements on
package specifications referenced in column 8 of the HMT. The word "none" in
column 8A, 8B, or 8C of the HMT indicates that no exemptions, non-bulk
packaging, or bulk packaging, respectively, are authorized, except as may be
provided for under special provisions (column 7).
The final step in determining the proper packaging for a hazardous material is to
apply the references obtained in the hazardous materials table. The packaging
specifications referenced in column 8 of the HMT are detailed in 49 CFR 173.
Special provisions can be referenced by code in 49 CFR 172.102.
Section 173 of 49 CFR contains the DOT specifications for packagings that may be
used to transport a material within a particular hazard class and packing group.
Again, an understanding of the regulatory definitions and codings is needed to apply
the packaging specifications to a hazardous material to be shipped.
The DOT defines authorized combination packagings and authorized single
packagings. Combination packaging consists of one or more inner packages secured
in a non-bulk outer package. Single packaging is non-bulk packaging other than
combination packaging, and includes composite packaging. Composite packaging
consists of an outer packaging and an inner receptacle and is constructed so that the
total package forms an integrated whole. Once a composite package is constructed,
it is always handled as a single unit.
DOT standards for packaging hazardous materials are based on United Nations (UN)
recommendations. Identification codes are assigned to types of authorized
packaging and are referred to as "DOT packaging specifications." The identification
code system for non-bulk packages involves a series of numbers and capital letters.
The number preceding a capital letter identifies the type of container (drum, box,
composite package, etc.). The capital letter refers to the construction material of the
container (steel, wood, plastic, etc.). The number appearing after a capital letter
indicates whether a drum has a removable head (code number "1") or non-removable
head (code number "2"). A composite package is coded with a "6" to identify the
type of container and with two capital letters together to identify the construction
materials. The first capital letter in the composite package identification code refers

M - multi-wall paper
N - metal other than steel or aluminum
P - glass, porcelain or stoneware
Under this system, a steel drum with an open head would be designated " 1 Al." A
composite packaging consisting of a plastic bag inside of a steel, non-removable head
drum would be designated "6HA.2" A combination package of plastic bags inside of a
steel, removable head drum would be designated "1A1."
DOT packaging regulations are cumbersome and thus difficult to decipher.
Nevertheless, determining the proper transportation packaging for a hazardous
material can be made easier if several steps are followed. The first step is to become
familiar with the general provisions and exemptions of the DOT packaging
regulations. The general provisions, based for the most part on common sense,
include using a package that is capable of containing the hazardous material during
transport. Exemptions generally apply to specific cases, such as waste and small
quantities.
The second step in determining the proper packaging for a hazardous material is to
look up the specific packaging regulation and special provision references in the
DOT Hazardous Materials Table in 49 CFR 172. 101. The third step is to review the
specific packaging regulations referred to in the HMT (column 8A, 8B, or 8C) and
to determine which authorized package or packaging can be utilized for your
particular situation. The final step is to ensure that no special provisions affect the
packaging selected. References to special provisions are found in column 7 of the
HMT, with codes that apply to specific types of packages and/or modes of
transportation. Checking CFR special provisions for details is not necessary unless a
code is present that can be applied to the particular transportation mode and
container type selected.
Once the proper packaging has been determined, the shipping description must be
prepared, the container must be labeled and marked, and the transport vehicle must
be placarded in accordance with DOT specifications. The information used to
determine packaging is also used to determine shipping description, labels and
markings, and placarding.

Federal DOT Regulations
Subchapter IV: DOT Hazardous Materials Shipping Descriptions, Container
Labeling and Marking, Vehicle Placarding and Material Segregation
Requirements
Packaging Labels:
A DOT-authorized shipping description must be assigned to every hazardous
material package prior to transportation. The shipping description consists of the
shipping name, hazard class or division, identification number, packaging group,
and possibly a technical description and/or CERCLA reportable quantity (RQ)
reference. All authorized shipping names with the associated identification number
(UN number), hazard class, and packaging group are listed alphabetically in the
Hazardous Materials Table of 49 CFR 172.101. When the hazardous material is
a RCRA hazardous waste, the word "waste" must precede the shipping
description. Shipping names that do not include specific chemical or common
names will include the "Not Otherwise Specified" (n.o.s.) ending. When the n.o.s
designation is used, additional technical descriptions are required in parentheses
between the shipping name and the hazard class or following the basic description.
The DOT allows the use of RCRA codes as a substitute for technical descriptions in
the transportation of hazardous wastes. For clarity and emergency response
purposes, the authors of this manual recommend the use of both technical
descriptions and RCRA codes when using generic hazardous waste shipping
descriptions. If a package contains a CERCLA reportable quantity of a hazardous
substance, the letters "RQ" and the name of the substance to which the RQ pertains
must be included as part of the shipping description. CERCLA hazardous
substances and the associated reportable quantities are listed in the appendix of 49
CFR 172. 101; reportable quantities of hazardous wastes are reported at the end of
this appendix and are referenced according to the applicable RCRA waste code.
The format recommended for shipping descriptions of hazardous waste from
removal sites is as follows:

DOT package labeling, marking and placarding requirements depend on the type of
material and the size of the container. DOT labels identify the primary hazard of the
material and must conform to DOT specifications as listed in 49 CFR 172. All non-
bulk containers must be labeled as specified in column 6 of the HMT. Bulk containers
of less than 1,000 gallons must also be labeled according to the HMT unless placarded
in accordance with 49 CFR 172.
DOT markings are descriptive information that may be required for particular
packages and/or for particular hazardous materials. DOT regulations require all

Placards provide hazard identification information on a transportation vehicle that
contains hazardous materials. Placards must conform to DOT specifications as
listed in 49 CFR 172. Use of placards depends on the types and quantities of
hazardous materials in the transport vehicle. Placards are always required for the
following:
• Any vehicle transporting an explosive (1. 1, 1.2 or 1.3), poisonous by inhalation
(6.1-Hazard Zone A, B, C or D), dangerous when wet (4.3), or radioactive
material (7), must always be placarded as such.
• Any vehicle transporting over 1,000 pounds of any other hazardous material
must be placarded according to the hazard classification of the material carried.
• A "dangerous" placard is required on a vehicle containing a combined total of
over 1,000 pounds of materials from different hazard classes. Specific placards
are still required in conjunction with the dangerous placard if over 5,000 pounds
of a material from one hazard class is loaded on the vehicle, or if any amount of:
explosive (1. 1, 1.2 or 1.3), poisonous by inhalation (6.1-Hazard Zone A, B, C or
D), dangerous when wet (4.3), or radioactive material (7) are loaded on the
vehicle.
Load Segregation Requirements:
DOT requires that certain hazardous materials be segregated from each other for
storage and transportation. Consult the "Segregation Table for Hazardous Materials"

Subchapter V: Shipping Papers
Each shipment of hazardous materials must be accompanied by shipping papers.
Shipping papers describe the quantity and types of materials to be shipped, the
addresses of the consignor (shipper) and the consignee (designated receiver), safety
information and, possibly, additional regulatory information. A hazardous waste
manifest (manifest) is required to be used as the shipping paper for hazardous waste
transportation.
The following information is always required on a manifest:
• Generator's EPA ID Number and unique five-digit document number.
• Generator's mailing address (the mailing address may be different from the site
address).
• Generator's phone number.
• Name and EPA ID number of the transporter.
• Name, address and EPA ID number of the designated receiving facility.
• Complete DOT shipping description for each hazardous material for each type
of container.
• Container type, number of containers, and total quantity of each shipping
description.
• Generator's certification.
DOT regulations also require that emergency response information accompany a
shipment of hazardous materials. A 24-hour emergency phone number for a contact
who is capable of accepting responsibility and providing detailed information is
required on shipping papers. The following basic information must also accompany
the shipping papers for each hazardous material shipping description:
• Immediate hazards to health.
• Risks of fire or explosion.
• Immediate precautions to be taken in the event of an accident or incident.
• Immediate methods for handling a fire involving the material; Initial methods
for handling spills or leaks in the absence of fire,
• Preliminary first aid measures.
The appropriate section of the DOT Emergency Response Guidebook should be
referenced on a manifest to fulfill the basic emergency response information
requirements. The preparers of this handbook recommend attaching a copy of the
ERG Guidebook page to the shipment paperwork.
Subchapter VI: Emergency Removal Exemption
The DOT regulations and RCRA provide an emergency exemption for discharges of
hazardous materials during transportation. A federal, state, or local official may
authorize the removal of waste without the preparation of a manifest if immediate
removal is necessary to prevent further adverse consequences. The transporter in an
emergency transportation removal is not required to have an EPA ID Number.

CHAPTER 3
CONVENTIONAL HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT
AND DISPOSAL METHODS
Subchapter 1: Introduction to Conventional Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods
Regulations under RCRA detail requirements for hazardous waste classification, handling, and record-
keeping. RCRA further specifies treatment standards or land disposal restrictions for all hazardous
wastes. Land disposal restrictions dictate the extent of treatment or destruction of a waste prior to
landfilling. Several commercial treatment options that meet the regulatory treatment standards may be
available for a specific wastestream. Understanding conventional waste treatment processes allows the
generator to select the most environmentally beneficial and cost effective means of disposal for a
particular wastestream. This chapter briefly describes the processes of typical commercial, RCRA-
permitted, waste treatment options. In particular, the capabilities of resource recovery, incineration,
wastewater treatment, and stabilization options are summarized. The selection of disposal options based
on waste characterizations and the method for characterizing wastes and wastestreams are outlined in
Chapter 6.
Subchapter II: Recycling and Recovery
RCRA has authorized a number of waste treatment methods that promote resource recovery from several
types of wastes. Recovery methods are available for concentrated solvent or metal wastes. Solvent
recovery involves the distillation of a waste mixture to separate and purify the components. The distilled
solvents can then be reused in many commercial manufacturing processes. Solvent F001, F002, F003,
and F005 wastes without sulfide or cyanide contamination and with limited inorganic contamination are
often recyclable.
Fuels blending is a means of promoting resource recovery from hazardous wastes. In 1991, RCRA
promulgated the Boiler and Industrial Furnace (BIF) rule to promote blending of many organic
wastestreams with fuel. In the past, cement kilns were authorized to utilize pumpable organic liquid
wastes with a fuel value of greater than 5,000 BTU/pound as a fuel supplement in the cement process.
The new BIF rule will allow many cement kilns to explore the use of low fuel value organic liquid
wastes as well as solids and sludges (ITTze Hazardous Waste Consultant, March/April 1992).
The process of using organic wastes as fuel substitutes in cement kilns thermally destroys the organic
constituents of the waste. Ash recpvered from the burning of fuels and fuel substitutes is also used in
cement production, rendering immobile the inorganic contaminants from fuels blended wastes.
The fuels blending process is currently less expensive than commercial treatment, storage and disposal
(TSD) incineration processes due to the limited types of wastestreams acceptable and the permitting and
waste processing requirements associated with fuels blending. Thus, fuels blending by cement kilns
should be explored prior to conventional waste treatment technologies at commercial TSDs for the
disposal of organic liquid wastestreams.
Recycling of chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFCs) may present the generator with a highly cost effective
disposal alternative. Disposal facilities establish strict guidelines for acceptance of CFCs for recycling.
These guidelines include reclaim value of the CFC, product contamination, and re-sale value of the
-------
Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods
reclaimed product. However, the disposal facility may actually provide the generator with a refund for
the sometimes valuable reclaimed CFC solvent.
Metal recovery from a wastestream may involve chemical reactions and/or thermal treatment to remove
and recover valuable metals from waste mixtures. Metals can be recovered from liquids, solids, sludges,
acids and alkalies. Typical criteria for metals recovery from inorganic solid (non-liquid) wastes follow
in Table 3-1:

Reference: Approximate Waste Feed Specifications INMETCO, Ellwood City, PA
Subchapter III: Incineration
In 1988, regulations under RCRA restricted land disposal of liquid, solvent, dioxin and 157 high hazard,
high volume wastes. The 1988 restrictions were referred to as the "soft hammer" and required waste
treatment by a method that provided the greatest environmental benefit if a concentration-based
treatment standard had not been established for the particular waste. As a result, thermal destruction of
hazardous wastes through RCRA-permitted incinerators became a popular means of compliance with the
soft hammer. Today, land disposal restrictions require each type of waste to be treated to achieve
concentrations below a specified level or to be treated by a specific treatment technology prior to
landfilling. Incineration is one method of treatment listed under RCRA land disposal restrictions for a
variety of wastes. Incineration is also a common method of treatment to achieve the concentration-based
standards.
A RCRA-permitted incinerator is an enclosed device that uses flame combustion at temperatures of 1200
to 1500°C and that is not a boiler or furnace. Flame combustion is the thermal destruction of wastes by
oxidation, which reduces the volume of the waste and creates less harmful chemical components.
Carbon dioxide and water are the end products of the combustion of organic materials. Oxides are the
end products of the combustion of inorganic materials.
34
-------
Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods
In general, the incineration process is required to achieve a Destruction Removal Efficiency (DRE) of at
least 99.99 percent of Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHC) of a waste. Some specific
POHCs, such as dioxins, require a DRE of greater than 99.9999 percent. Rotary kilns are the most
widely used incinerators because of their versatility in accepting variations in wastestreams. A rotary
kiln consists of a refractory-lined cylindrical reactor lying on its side. One end of the kiln is elevated and
is designed to accept the waste feed. The waste can be solid, liquid or sludge. The kiln rotates around its
horizontal axis to move the waste from the elevated end to the lower end. The speed of rotation can be
manipulated to ensure the desired combustion of the waste feed.
Combustion products (carbon dioxide, elemental oxides, particulates, and acid gases from combustion of
sulfur and halogenated compounds) flow from the kiln to an afterburner chamber, which operates at a
lower temperature than the rotary kiln. Low BTU wastes, such as contaminated water, are often
introduced into the afterburner chamber. Water is vaporized while organic contaminants are thermally
destroyed in this part of the process. Cooling combustion products then flow from the afterburner to a
quench and scrub unit. Water is sprayed into the quench and scrub unit with the combustion products.
This aspect of the waste incineration process serves to cool combustion gases and then to scrub or
remove particulates and acid gases. Scrub water is reused after neutralization and precipitation
treatments. Precipitated particles from scrub water as well as any kiln ash are tested to assure
compliance with LDRs and are usually further treated with chemical bonding or stabilization techniques
prior to landfill.
Wastestreams that contain more than 10 percent organic constituents are usually treated with thermal
destruction techniques. Incineration is the most likely treatment technique for any organic solid or
sludge wastestream. Important factors to consider for wastes to be incinerated are fuel value (BTU) and
ash, halogen and sulfur content.
The ash content of a waste dictates the reduction in volume the waste will undergo when it is incinerated.
Since the ash from incineration is usually treated and is always disposed of at a RCRA hazardous waste
landfill, ash content is directly related to price of disposal. Most flammable liquids and organic
polymers have a high BTU value (10,000 to 20,000 BTUs per pound) and a low ash value (less than one
percent ash). Thus, flammable liquid and polymer wastes are generally the least expensive to incinerate.
Halogenated solvents and organic solids are usually moderately priced with fuel values of 3,000 to
10,000 BTUs per pound and ash content of less than ten percent. Aqueous liquids have a low to negative
fuel value and usually an ash content of less than 25 percent. Inorganic solids may have a positive fuel
value but normally have a high ash value. Thus, other forms of disposal should be considered for
aqueous and inorganic solid wastestreams for both cost and environmental effectiveness.
The use of wastes as fuels is the most cost effective means of disposal of organic liquids. Whereas
boilers and furnaces are generally restricted to high energy (greater than 5,000 BTUs per pound) and
limited halogen content wastes for use as fuel substitutes, RCRA-permitted incinerators blend both high
and low fuel value organic liquids, even with halogens, to achieve the desirable fuel value for kiln
operations. Thus, for a site with low and high fuel value organic wastes and/or halogenated organic
waste, incineration of all organic wastestreams may be more cost effective than fuels blending of high
BTU wastes at a cement kiln and incineration of low BTU and halogenated wastes at an incinerator
facility.
Subchapter IV: Conventional Wastewater Treatment Technologies
RCRA-permitted commercial wastewater treatment facilities are capable of treating a variety of aqueous
wastes as well as water-soluble solids and sludges. The facilities utilize biological, chemical and/or
35
-------
Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods
physical techniques throughout the wastewater treatment system to reduce the hazardous properties
and/or constituents of a wastestream. A facility's ability to treat a wastestream using one or more
techniques in the process allows multi-contaminant wastestreams to be treated environmentally safely
and cost effectively.
Aqueous wastes with organic contaminants are usually treated by biological processes or carbon
absorption, or a combination of the two, within the commercial wastewater treatment facility. Biological
treatments, which include aerobic and anaerobic systems, utilize the metabolism of microorganisms to
degrade organic chemicals into less harmful compounds or into a cellular mass. The organic constituents
of a waste in effect become food for a population of microorganisms.
Aerobic biological processes require oxygen as well as a carbon source for the microorganisms to thrive.
Some aerobic systems contain organisms in a liquid suspension, or activated sludge. The sludge is
supplied with oxygen by agitation and sparging. When hazardous waste is introduced into the sludge,
the organisms consume the organic contaminants and build cellular mass. The enlarged biological cells
are removed when the degradation of the organic contaminants in the waste has been completed.
Aerobic treatment techniques effectively process wastewaters with less than one percent organic
contamination.
Anaerobic processes occur in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic microorganisms, catalyzed by enzymes,
break down organic contaminants into cellular mass and gaseous products. These organisms can tolerate
higher levels of organic contaminants than can aerobic organisms. A disadvantage of the process is that
anaerobic systems lack flexibility in responding to a change in organic concentrations in the waste feed.
The physical process of carbon adsorption is also effective in the removal of organic contaminants from
wastewater. Activated carbon has a greater affinity than water for organic contaminants. Thus, organic
wastes are removed from an aqueous matrix and are adsorbed or fixed onto the carbon surfaces in this
process. When the carbon has become saturated with organic contaminants, it must be regenerated.
Thermal regeneration of carbon reactivates the carbon surface while destroying the organic constituents.
Both carbon adsorption and biological processes are often utilized in commercial wastewater treatment
systems to process aqueous wastes with generally up to 10 percent organic constituents.
Inorganic contamination in wastewater as well as water soluble inorganic hazardous wastes can be
processed in commercial wastewater facilities through a variety of physical and chemical treatments.
Precipitation involves changing the solubility of an aqueous inorganic contaminant, causing it to become
solid and fall out of solution. One method of precipitation is achieved by introducing a chemical into the
wastewater that causes a reaction with the water soluble inorganic compound. The chemical reaction
creates a new, water insoluble component that precipitates. Another method of precipitation involves the
manipulation of the original solvent (water) to create a new matrix in which the contaminant is less
soluble. The precipitated solids are stabilized with solidification techniques prior to landfill.
Precipitation reactions are used frequently to treat wastewaters that contain regulated levels of metals in
the form of salts.
Neutralization is the removal of the RCRA characteristic of corrosivity by the addition of an acid or base
to an aqueous waste material of the opposite pH. The result of the typically exothermic reaction is an
aqueous solution containing a salt. If the resulting salt contains regulated metals, precipitation can then
be utilized in the treatment process.
Oxidation/reduction (redox) reactions are used in wastewater treatment processes to destroy the
oxidizing properties of a waste and to reduce the toxicity of metal, sulfide or cyanide compounds.
36
-------
Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods
Phenols, pesticides, and sulfur-containing organic compounds can also be treated with redox reactions.
This process involves the addition of a chemical capable of oxidizing (removing an electron) or reducing
(adding an electron) to the contaminant of concern. The redox reaction may render the contaminant less
toxic or may cause it to precipitate out of the aqueous solution.
Regardless of the particular processes or combination of processes used in the wastewater treatment
system, the resultant "cleaned" water must be tested to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and
compliance with RCRA treatment standards. The discharge of the "cleaned" water is also regulated
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
Chapter 6 of this manual outlines the appropriateness of wastewater treatment for field characterized
wastes. In addition, RCRA-permitted wastewater treatment facilities should be considered for
wastewater from the decontamination of site personnel and equipment, drum rinsate, and leachate
collection, corrosive wastes from electroplating facilities, and aqueous wood treating solutions.
Subchapter V: Deactivation/Stabilization Waste Treatment Technologies
Deactivation is the elimination of the RCRA characteristic that causes a waste to be classified as
hazardous. Technologies for aqueous wastes can also be applied to inorganic solid and sludge
wastestreams without the introduction of water as a solvent. The addition of other chemical components
to a wastestream that result in neutralization or redox reactions destroys corrosivity and oxidizer
characteristics, respectively. Redox reactions can also be used to reduce the toxicity of many metal,
sulfide, and cyanide compounds. The treated waste must be tested to assure compliance with LDRs prior
to landfill.
In addition to these chemical reactions, solidification and encapsulation (S&E) techniques are used to
eliminate free liquids and encapsulate hazardous contaminants of inorganic solid and sludge
wastestreams. S&E processes do not destroy the hazardous constituents in the waste, instead, they
stabilize the hazardous constituents to prevent mobility when landfilled. S&E is achieved through the
addition of cement, lime, thermoplastic materials or organic polymers to the wastestream. The S&E
process substantially increases the volume of waste to be landfilled. Thus, alternate treatment and
recovery methods should be considered prior to deactivation/stabilization disposal methods.
Subchapter VI: Contaminated Soils
Hazardous soils are subject to LDRs when the soils are generated and removed to a land disposal unit,
and either "contain" a characteristic of a hazardous waste (D001-D040 waste codes) and/or "contain"
listed hazardous wastes. Soils contaminated with a listed waste material, requiring a specified treatment
technology, must be disposed of in accordance with the specified technology. Two options exist for the
disposal of contaminated soils, which are not limited to a specified disposal technology:
1) The generator may apply the universal treatment standards (UTS), (40 CFR268.40 and .41) to the
soil and dispose of the soil accordingly.
2) On 26 May 1998, the USEPA published the Phase IV Land Disposal Restrictions Supplemental Final
Rule. This ruling includes two regulations which may affect disposal operations at Superfund sites:
a) The EPA established new UTS for metal bearing wastes for both wastewaters and non-
wastewaters, these treatment standards for a given metal may vary between wastewaters and
non-wastewaters. This ruling went into effect on 24 August 1998 in those states which are
not authorized to enforce their own LDRs.
37
-------
Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods
b) The EPA established alternative treatment standards for contaminated soil disposal. This
ruling is summarized by the phrase "90% capped by 10 X UTS". This rule establishes
alternative soil treatment standards. Soils contaminated with hazardous constituents, that are
subject to treatment standards, must be treated to reduce the contamination level by 90%, for
all constituents. The treatment levels are capped by 10 times the UTS. Contaminated soils
subject to the LDRs must also be treated to meet the soil treatment standards for all
reasonably expected Underlying Hazardous Constituents (UHCs). UHCs initially present at
a level less than 10 times the applicable UTS, do not require further treatment. The rulings
regarding contaminated soils went into effect on 26 May 1998 in those states which are not
authorized to enforce their own LDRs.
Two examples of application of the alternative treatment standards for contaminated soils:
A soil is characteristically hazardous for lead at 10 mg/L TCLP (UTS of 0.75 mg/1 TCLP), the
new soil treatment standard would require treatment to 1 mg/L (90% the contaminant level).
However, applying the cap of 10 times the UTS, a treatment standard of 7.5 mg/L is required.
This is greater than the 90% standard of 1 mg/L. Therefore, the soil would only require treatment
to 7.5 mg/L, or a 25% contamination reduction. Note, after treatment, the soil may still be
characteristically hazardous for lead (D008, 5.0 mg/L TCLP) and will require disposal at a
Subtitle C Landfill. However, if the lead concentration can be lowered to less than 5.0 mg/L
TCLP, the soil has been de-characterized and can go to a Subtitle D Landfill.
A soil is characteristically hazardous for chromium at 5.5 mg/L TCLP (UTS of 0.6 mg/L TCLP).
Analytical testing detected the following underlying hazardous constituent is present at a
detectable level: toluene at 90 mg/kg (UTS of 10 mg/kg). Since the toluene is present at less than
100 mg/kg (10 X UTS), it already meets the alternative treatment standard. The chromium
should be treated to 0.55 mg/L TCLP (90% reduction) or to less than 6.0 mg/L TCLP (10 X
UTS). The soil can go for land disposal without further treatment. However, it is still a
characteristically hazardous waste for chromium (D007, 5.0 mg/L TCLP) and will require
disposal at a Subtitle C landfill.

DISPOSAL FACILITY WASTE EVALUATION
AND ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURES
Subchapter I: The Waste Profile
A wastestream comprises all site wastes that have the same physical, chemical and hazard
characteristics, the same RCRA-regulated hazardous constituents and waste codes, and that will be
treated using the same disposal technology. Prior to approving the wastestream for disposal, commercial
treatment, storage and disposal (TSD) facilities require each wastestream to be profiled, that is, to be
fully characterized. The profile information is completed on the particular TSD's profile form. Profile
forms may also be known as waste characterization forms, or waste safety data forms. The following
information is usually required on a profile for all wastestreams:
• Generator's name, address, phone number and EPA ID number.
• General description of the waste and the process from which it was derived.
• Physical state of the waste (solid, sludge, liquid) with percent liquid and percent solid.
• The composition of the waste totaling 100 percent (this includes hazardous and non-regulated
constituents).
• The shipment method, quantity and frequency anticipated (one 5,000 gallon tank truck, one time).
• All applicable RCRA waste codes.
• Hazardous characteristics of the waste (flammable, oxidizer, corrosive).
• Chemical data such as pH, estimated total organic carbon content, and estimated total halogenated
organic compounds.

-------
Disposal Facility Waste Evaluation and Acceptance Procedures
regulated constituents. Thus, the commercial generator may complete a profile based on "generator's
knowledge" of the waste.
Unfortunately, the generator's (OSC's) knowledge of wastes at Superfund removal sites is limited. The
OSC must rely heavily on analysis to profile each waste. Many variables exist in laboratory analytical
data due to the heterogeneous nature of wastes, choices made in compositing samples, and
inconsistencies in sample collecting and handling techniques. Chapters 5 and 6 of this manual discuss
waste sampling and analysis options for a variety of waste streams to maintain financial feasibility and
reduce data variability.
Regardless of the manner in which profile information is obtained, regulated and non-regulated
constituent values as well as chemical and physical properties should be reported as reasonable ranges.
Most TSDs have set ranges for significant parameters that will affect the treatability and/or the cost of
the treatment. Thus, analysis variability may cause a wastestream to be redefined. To avoid unexpected
costs and possible rejection of a wastestream from a TSD, the OSC should profile site wastestreams
based on the worst-case scenario possible using the data available.
Subchapter II: The Disposal Facility's Process and Considerations
In addition to a waste profile form, which provides a detailed description of the waste stream, a
representative sample of the wastestream must be submitted to the proposed disposal facility. The TSD
analyzes the sample and compares the results to the profile form. If the analysis and profile information
are congruent, the TSD assigns an approval number to the profile and accepts the waste for treatment.
This facility review process is normally associated with a profile approval fee of $100 to $300.
Once the TSD has approved the wastestream, the disposal price can be confirmed and a schedule for
shipment can be arranged. The approval number (profile number) must be noted for each line of a
manifest, and marked on each container of non-bulk waste (containers of less than 119 gallons).
All waste shipped to a facility under a profile number is sampled and analyzed upon arrival at the
designated facility. If the waste matches the profile data within the acceptable ranges, a representative of
the facility will sign the receipt section of the manifest and mail copies to the generator and to applicable
states. The signed, returned copy of the manifest is the "certification of receipt" required by RCRA.
A word of caution, the CERCLA off-site disposal policy [SARA 121 (d) (3)] requires RCRA compliance
for off-site disposal of CERCLA hazardous substances during a CERCLA-funded response action.
Facilities should be informed that the waste to be treated was derived from a CERCLA-funded response
action and that compliance with the CERCLA off-site policy must be maintained. Many facilities have a
line on their profile dedicated to this issue (i.e., "Is this waste generated from a CERCLA Superfund
Removal Action?"). If the profile does not address this question, the authorized agent at a CERCLA site
should note the waste as the result of a Superfund activity and state the site name in the remarks section
of the profile. The certification of disposal should be requested from the facility at the time of the
contract agreement for documentation of CERCLA compliance. TSDs often accept and then broker
wastes to alternate facilities. If a certification of disposal and compliance with the CERCLA off-site
disposal policy are not stipulated in the disposal contract, the waste could be subcontracted to a facility
that is not currently in compliance or that does not provide the treatment method specified by the OSC.
Some CERCLA wastes are not RCRA regulated; thus, a TSD could dispose of a non-RCRA regulated
waste stream at another facility that is not RCRA permitted, unless RCRA compliance is specified.
If waste received at a facility does not match the profile information, the waste is referred to as off-
specification (off-spec). Several options are generally considered for off-specification wastes. The TSD
41
-------
Disposal Facility Waste Evaluation and Acceptance Procedures
may determine that the off-spec waste can still be treated at its facility; if so, treatment of off-spec waste
is accompanied by a second profile fee and/or waste handling surcharges. Transportation and storage
charges accrued to investigate an alternate facility are usually higher than the additional charges
requested by the originally designated facility to process the waste. If the designated facility is not
permitted for, or is not capable of, treating the off-specification waste, the waste will be rejected for
treatment by the facility. The wastes should be returned to the generation location while alternate
disposal options are explored and coordinated
Subchapter HI: Summary of Commercial Disposal Waste Stream Evaluation and Considerations
1. Sampling and analysis variables must be considered for waste profile information. See Chapter 5
for further detail.
2. Treatment technology for a waste stream should be determined prior to contracting with a TSD.
3. Waste profile forms should £e completed with the "worst case scenario" in mind to account for
analysis variability and to ensure acceptance by the designated facility.
4. Proper waste profile information is essential to ensure proper disposal.
5. Compliance with the CERCLA off-site disposal policy and provision of certifications of disposal
should be stipulated in the contract with the TSD.

CHAPTER 5
INTRODUCTION TO SAMPLING AND
ANALYSIS METHODOLOGIES
Subchapter I: Environmental Assessment Methodologies Versus Waste
Characterization Needs
CERCLA hazardous substances include any substance which has been determined to
be hazardous under the Clean Ah- Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), RCRA,
TSCA, or CERCLA. CERCLA pollutants and contaminants are defined as any
substance that when released into the environment is determined to present an
imminent and substantial danger to the public health or welfare.
Analysis parameters are the substances and physical characteristics to be tested for in a
laboratory. Analysis parameters and associated laboratory test methods for each
environmental regulation are published in 40 CFR. The parameters of concern and the
corresponding test methods established for particular substances are typically
organized according to the matrix regulated by a specific environmental act.
Parameters of concern under the CAA (air emissions) and the associated analysis test
methods are listed in 40 CFR 60; parameters of concern under the CWA (effluent
discharges into surface waters) and the associated approved test methods are listed in
40 CFR 136; parameters of concern under the Public Health Service Act as amended
by the Safe Drinking Water Act (ground water) with the associated action levels and
Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLS) are listed in 40 CFR 141. Parameters of
concern under RCRA as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments
(HSWA) are listed in 40 CFR 261 (hazardous waste constituents in containers and
soil).
Sample collection and handling procedures are unique to the matrix of the sample
and the contaminants of concern. Several EPA publications are available for
guidance as to proper sampling and sample handling techniques. The publication
Solid Waste 846 (SW-846), "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste" was
developed under HSWA to provide uniform sampling, sample handling and analysis
methods to determine if a waste contains hazardous constituents in a concentration
that would make the waste subject to hazardous waste regulations. The EPA-600
publication was developed under the CWA to provide uniform sampling, sample
handling and analysis methods for determining if wastewater can be discharged
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting
process. The EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) has
published standard sampling procedures established by the EPA Environmental
Response Team (ERT) for a variety of environmental sampling efforts as follows:

These EPA guidance publications were not established as regulation. Rather, the
publications establish tangible sample handling procedures that provide a legal basis
for verification of analytical results obtained from the sampling effort.
In addition to producing sample and analysis guidance publications to ensure
uniformity, EPA has established the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) to
assist with consistency and verification of laboratory results. EPA-contracted
labs must comply with statements of work and approved sample handling and
analysis procedures to participate in the program. CLP statements of work
and laboratory procedures are consistent with SW-846 and EPA-600
publications.
Most removal assessments involve sampling and analysis for hazardous substances
that have established, verifiable sample collection and handling procedures and
analysis methodologies. The commonly used assessment parameters are priority
pollutants (PP), CLP target analyte list (TAL) and/or CLP target compound list
(TCL) compounds. These assessment parameter lists can be subdivided according to
chemical properties as follows:
Priority Pollutants
Volatile organics
Semi-volatile organics (or base,
neutral &acid extractables)
Pesticides & PCBs
Metals
Cyanides
Target Analyte List
Metals
Cyanides
Target Compound List
Volatile organics
Semi-volatile organics (or base,
neutral & acid extractables)
Pesticides & PCBs
The compounds in each list and the associated environmental regulations governing
the compound can be found in Table 5-1.
The normal CLP data obtained from a removal assessment provides the OSC
information with which to evaluate the site threat. In disposal terms, assessment
data provides generator knowledge of the waste. However, the normal CLP data
does not supply the OSC with sufficient information to determine the proper
technique to mitigate the threat or to arrange proper treatment or disposal of the
evaluated site hazardous substances.
Subchapter II: Factors to Consider in Determining the Information Needed to
Characterize a Wastestream
As described in Chapter I of this manual, hazardous waste is a sub-classification of
solid waste. A generator of any type of waste is required under RCRA regulations to
determine if a generated waste is hazardous. A waste can be defined as hazardous
based on the conditions under which it was derived, based on its hazardous
characteristics, or based on the concentrations of regulated hazardous constituents in
the waste.
44
-------
Introduction to Sampling and Analysis Methodologies
During an assessment, an OSC must consider the threat caused by any hazardous
substance on a site. The OSC must also consider the means of mitigating the threat
and complying with regulations. Not all CERCLA hazardous substances are
regulated under RCRA as hazardous waste; however, the CERCLA off-site disposal
policy requires that the disposal of all hazardous substances at CERCLA responses
be consistent with RCRA regulations regarding hazardous waste disposal. Thus, it is
important that an OSC acquire knowledge of all site wastes with regard to disposal
regulations.
The extent of analysis needed to define substances for waste disposal depends upon
the OSC's knowledge of the waste, the chemical and physical characteristics of the
waste, the treatment technologies to be explored for disposal of the waste, and the
facility where the waste will be treated. It-is not possible to know which facility will
treat the waste until the removal action has begun. However, qualitative information
about the characteristics of a substance can be easily obtained, and waste treatment
technology options can be explored based on the physical and chemical
characteristics of a waste. Waste analysis parameters can then be selected based
upon the generator's knowledge of the waste, general characteristics of the waste,
and available treatment options for the waste to complete regulatory classification
requirements. Chapter 6 of this manual addresses waste characterization and
analysis options for typical unknown drum wastes found at Superfund removal sites.
The Appendix provides an example of the evaluation of unknown drum wastes and
the requirements of the disposal process. Chapter 7 addresses typical bulk wastes,
such as tanks and vats from manufacturing and process facilities, soil contamination
and hazardous debris. Chapter 8 addresses specialty wastes.

CHAPTER 6
UNKNOWN DRUM WASTES:
CHARACTERIZATION FOR DISPOSAL
Subchapter I: Introduction to Waste Characterization Needs
This chapter is dedicated to the techniques and general criteria needed to evaluate the unknown drum
wastes (for example, those often found from "midnight dumping") for treatment and disposal. As is
described in Chapter I of this manual, hazardous waste is a sub-classification of solid waste. A generator
of any type of waste is required under RCRA regulations to determine whether a generated waste is
hazardous. A waste can be defined as hazardous based on the situation from which it was derived, based
on its hazardous characteristics, or based on the concentrations of regulated hazardous constituents in the
waste. The EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) has established sampling
and analysis methodologies to be used to determine if a hazardous constituent is present in a waste at a
regulated concentration. The OSWER sampling and analysis procedures are published in Solid Waste
846 (SW-846).
The extent of analysis needed to define substances for waste disposal depends upon the OSC's
knowledge of the waste, the chemical and physical characteristics of the waste, the treatment
technologies to be explored for the disposal of the waste, and the facility where the waste will be treated.
It is not possible to know which facility will treat the waste until the removal action has begun.
However, qualitative information or information about the RCRA characteristics of a substance can be
easily obtained. Waste treatment technology options can be explored based on the physical and chemical
characteristics of a waste. Waste analysis parameters can then be selected based upon the generator's
knowledge of the waste, general characteristics of the waste, and treatment options available for the
waste to complete regulatory classification requirements.
Solvent recycling, metals recovery, and fuels blending waste treatments provide resource recovery, while
eliminating the environmental threats posed by the hazardous waste. Unfortunately, resource recovery
options are only available for a few types of wastestreams. Conventional commercial disposal methods
include wastewater treatment, thermal destruction, chemical stabilization, and landfilling. Wastewater
treatment is the conventional method for wastestreams that consist of water soluble liquids with limited
organic contamination. Thermal destruction is the conventional treatment method for most organic
liquids and solids. Chemical stabilization is the conventional treatment method for non-ignitable,
inorganic solids and sludges. Both resource recovery and conventional commercial disposal methods
and a description of the types of wastestreams capable of being treated by each method are described in
detail in Chapter 3. The Appendix of this manual outlines an example of the evaluation and disposal
process of unknown drum waste. Chapter 7 describes the requirements for the evaluation of bulk waste
such as tanks, vats, soil and debris. The evaluation of bulk wastes may only involve limited analysis and
conformation data or a process similar to that for unknown drum waste. Handling and disposal options
for specialty wastes such as dioxins, PCBs, explosives and radioactives are discussed in Chapter 8.
Subchapter II: RCRA Hazard and Compatibility Testing of Unknown Substances for Disposal
Chapter 1 of this manual explains the application of RCRA waste identification requirements as defined
in 40 CFR Part 261. The characteristic of ignitability applies to wastes with a flash point of less than
140°F, solids that cause fire and bum vigorously, and DOT-regulated ignitable compressed gases and
oxidizers. The characteristic of corrosivity applies to wastes with a pH of less than 2 or greater than
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal
12.5. The characteristic of reactivity applies to wastes that react violently with air or water, contain
reactive cyanides or sulfides, or are explosive.
A wastestream comprises all wastes with the same hazardous, chemical, and physical characteristics, and
which are compatible and will be treated with the same disposal method. Field testing methods have
been developed to easily obtain the following information on a sample: physical description of the
substance, including all phases, and the ignitability, corrosivity, water reactivity, oxidizing properties,
the presence of sulfides or cyanides, water solubility, and hexane solubility for each phase. All samples
with the same results from the field testing are most likely physically and chemically compatible. An
additional test of sample compatibility should be made by mixing together small quantities of separate
samples and observing any reaction. If any type of physical or chemical reaction such as fuming, heat
generation, or chemical precipitation occurs during the mixing operation, the samples are not compatible.
All samples that have the same test results and are compatible will most likely be treated with the same
method of disposal. The field testing methods used to make site wastestream determinations are referred
to as RCRA hazard characteristic and compatibility testing or "haz-cat" testing.
The foregoing description of haz-cat testing and wastestream determination may sound simple, but
determining wastestreams can be complex. Consider the sample matrix: generally, samples with similar
matrices are considered as one wastestream. For disposal purposes, a matrix that contains @ free-
flowing liquids is classified as "liquid." However, while several samples may be classified as "liquid" on
the basis of their matrices, they may not constitute one wastestream because of variation between
samples in the amount of liquid versus solid and because of differences in disposal based on this
variation. For example, a flammable sludge with a small amount of liquid should be considered a
separate wastestream from a sample containing a large amount of liquid and a small percentage of
flammable sludge, even though both wastes would be classified as flammable "liquid." An aqueous
mixture containing less than 10 percent flammable organics is considered flammable. This mixture can
be treated under wastewater treatment technologies. However, an aqueous mixture containing 11 percent
flammable organics must be incinerated under RCRA LDRs. Thus, the percentage of constituents that
produce a RCRA characteristic may affect the wastestream classification. Judgments such as these
should only be made by an experienced disposal chemist to avoid misclassification of wastestreams.
An example of the application of field testing to wastestreams and disposal technologies is provided in
the Appendix of this manual. The following is a discussion of typical haz-cat procedures for determining
wastestreams in the field.
Subchapter HI: Haz-Cat Test Procedures
Sampling techniques may affect the accuracy of wastestream determinations, whether based on field
testing or laboratory analysis, a representative sample of the container contents to be evaluated is
essential. If sampling is performed incorrectly, all field testing and analysis data may be invalid.
Sample collection procedures as such are outside the scope of this manual and are not discussed here.
Guidance on sampling hazardous substances may be found in the "Compendium of ERT Waste Sampling
Procedures" (EPA/540/P-91/008, OSWER Directive 9360.40-7, January 1991) and in Volume 4,
"Waste," of the Superfund Program Representative Sampling Guidance (EPA/540/R-93/060, OSWER
Directive 9360.4-14, May 1993). Observations made during sample collection may contribute
significantly to haz-cat testing, so types of useful observations are discussed here.

Sample Observations
1 . Before sampling, note the type, size, and condition (i.e., the physical properties) of the container and
the visible characteristics of the contents, as these characteristics are clues to the nature of the
contents. Include any label information.
Crystals on the container may indicate explosive peroxides. If possible, test crystals directly
with oxidizer and peroxide indicators. If positive oxidizer and peroxide results are obtained,
contact reactives/explosive specialists. DO NOT OPEN OR MOVE THE CONTAINER.
Organic peroxides are powerful, unstable explosives. Friction and/or heat can detonate
organic peroxides.
2. Note visible properties of the representative sample after it is collected. Be sure to document the
percent of the total composition and test results for each layer and/or phase of a sample.
3. Review air monitoring results obtained from the container prior to sampling and note possible
explanations for readings. Combustible gas indicators can assist with the identification of ignitable
hazards. Flame-ionization and photo-ionization detector readings may indicate the possibility of
volatile organics.
4. Note any distinct odors such as the odor of rotten eggs, which indicates sulfides.
Haz-cat Field Tests
Water Reactivity - Place a pea-sized amount of a solid or a dime-sized pool of a liquid substance on a
watch glass. Wet pH test paper with water and touch the wetted paper to the substance. (Heat, fumes, or
fire indicate a water reactive sample. Stop field tests and refer to specialty wastes.)
Corrosivity - Compare colors on the pH test strip with the pH indicator chart. Note the actual pH and
assign one of the following descriptions:
• pH 0-3 = corrosive acid, solid or liquid
• pH 3-5 =acidic solid or liquid
• pH 5-9 = neutral solid or liquid
• pH 9-1 1 = basic solid or liquid
• pH 1 1 - 1 4 = corrosive base, solid or liquid
54
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal
Oxidizer - Wet an oxidizer test strip (potassium iodide) with hydrochloric acid (HCI) and apply to the
substance. A change in color of the entire wetted area of the test strip to blue, black or purple indicates
the substance is an oxidizer. If the oxidizer test is positive, perform the peroxide test. If the oxidizer test
is negative, proceed with the solubility tests.
Peroxide - Put a drop of water to the peroxide test strip and apply the strip to the substance - whether
liquid or solid. Remove the strip and wait at least 15 seconds. A blue color indicates the presence of
peroxides. A color indicator chart can be used to estimate the peroxide concentration. If the substance
may be an organic liquid and the first peroxide test is negative, dip a dry test strip into the substance.
Allow the solvent to evaporate from the test strip and then apply a drop of water. Wait 15 seconds and
note any color change which indicates the presence of peroxides. Describe the substance as one of the
following: Organic peroxide, liquid or solid, or Oxidizer, liquid or solid.
Water Solubility - Add a pea-sized amount of a solid or 1 milliliter of liquid being tested to 1 milliliter
of water in a test tube. Always add an unknown substance to water, slowly. Never add water to an
unknown. Note any reaction with the water such as dissolving, floating, sinking, fuming, or boiling.
Dissolving indicates the substance is a water soluble inorganic or polar organic substance (such as salts
or alcohols). Emulsification indicates a slightly polar organic (such as a pesticide). Floating of liquids
indicates a non-halogenated non-polar organic substance (such as an alkane like hexane). Sinking of
liquids indicates a halogenated non-polar organic (such as carbon tetrachloride or trichloroethene).
White curdling is typical of a liquid plastic resin. Fuming and/or a temperature change is typical of acids
or bases (see corrosivity test).
Proceed with the hexane solubility test.
Hexane Solubility - Add a small amount of the substance being tested to an equal amount of hexane in a
test tube and note the solubility. Hexane solubility indicates an organic substance. Hexane insolubility
indicates an inorganic substance.
Proceed with the halogen test.
Halogen Test - Clean the copper wire by heating it in a torch flame until the wire glows red and there is
no green color in the flame. When the cleaned wire has cooled, dip the wire into the sample for 10
seconds. Apply the wire coated with the substance to the torch flame and note flame color. A green
flame indicates a halogenated substance, amine (also basic) or nitrate (also an oxidizer).
If an organic substance tests positive for halogens, the sample should be tested for PCBs. Commercial
kits are available to test for PCBs in liquids (oils) and in solids (soils). I Directions are available with
each kit.
Use the data gained from the halogen test along with data obtained from the water solubility and hexane
solubility tests to classify the substance according to the following list:
• Inorganic, liquid, aqueous (water soluble and hexane insoluble liquid)
• Inorganic, solid (water soluble, hexane insoluble or water and hexane insoluble)
• Organic, non-halogenated, liquid or solid (hexane soluble, may be water soluble, float on water, or
emulsify with water, negative halogen test)
• Organic, halogenated, liquid or solid, negative PCB (hexane soluble, sinks in water or is water
soluble, positive halogen test, negative PCB test)
55
-------
Unknown Dram Wastes: Characterization for Disposal
• Organic, halogenated, liquid or solid, PCB (hexane soluble, sinks in water, positive halogen test,
positive PCB test)
Reactive Sulfide or Cyanide - Dilute the 3N hydrochloric acid by slowly adding equal amounts of the
3N HC1 to water in a test tube. With a pipette slowly add, one drop at a time, the dilute HC1 to a small
amount of the substance being tested in another test tube. (Do not add more than 6 drops of dilute HC1 to
1/2 test tube of substance.)
A yellow color (accompanied by a rotten egg odor) indicates toxic hydrogen sulfide. Touch a sulfide
indicator paper (lead acetate) to the mixture of acid and unknown. A change in color of the test paper to
brown or black is positive for sulfides.
Bubbling or effervescing from a reaction with the dilute HC1 may indicate the presence of highly toxic
cyanides. Dissolve unknown solids in water. If the unknown solid is not water soluble, do not continue
with this test. In a separate test tube, mix iron citrate (about 1/4 of the test tube) and a pinch of ferrous
ammonium sulfide. Add the unknown liquid substance to the test tube to bring the total volume of the
test to 1/2 to 3/4 full. Shake the mixture for 1 minute. Slowly add 5 to 6 drops of 3N HC1. A dark
Prussian blue color indicates cyanides.
Class the substance from the following list:
• Non-sulfide or non-cyanide reactive, solid or liquid
• Sulfide reactive solid or liquid
• Cyanide reactive solid or liquid
Ignitability - Place a pea-sized amount of a solid or a quarter-sized pool of liquid onto a watch glass.
Touch a lighted match to the surface of the substance. If the match goes out and the substance does not
burn, the unknown is not ignitable. If the flame jumps from the match to the substance or the substance
continues to burn when the match is removed, the unknown is ignitable.
Ignitable liquids are classed as flammable or combustible.:
• Combustible liquids take longer to ignite than flammables.
• Flammables will ignite quickly and continue to burn. The match must be held to a combustible to
ignite and may require constant heat to continue to burn.
Solids are classified as flammable or non-flammable. Flammable solids bum vigorously upon ignition.
Classify the ignitability of the substance as follows:
• Non-ignitable liquid or solid
• Flammable solid
• Flammable liquid
• Combustible liquid
Compatibility Testing - Combine individual sample test classifications into one description for each
sample. This sample description will be a preliminary wastestream description. Be sure to indicate the
characteristics of separate phases and/or layers of the sample. Multi-phased samples and single-phased
56

samples represent separate wastestreams. Mix equal amounts of all samples with the same wastestream
classification, adding one sample at a time. If the addition of a given sample causes a reaction in the
mixture, the sample is incompatible with the mixture and must be eliminated from this wastestream. The
compatibility mixing must be restarted at the first sample once the incompatible sample has been
eliminated.
Preliminary Wastestreams - All samples with similar phases and field testing descriptions, which are
compatible, constitute a preliminary wastestream.
Subchapter IV: Determination of Treatment Options Based on RCRA Hazard and Compatibility
Testing
The general characterization descriptions obtained from field testing can be used to determine an
appropriate disposal method for each phase of an unknown substance. A precedence of treatment
options for multi-phased wastes can be developed based on an understanding of the results of each
treatment option and an understanding of RCRA-regulated treatment requirements. Possible waste
classifications from field testing and the likely treatment option are summarized below. A list of
treatment options for multi-phased waste immediately follows the wastestream summaries.
Conventional waste treatment and disposal options are discussed in detail in Chapter 3 of this manual.
General wastestream properties and characteristics capable of being treated by a particular method are
also discussed in Chapter 3.
Organic Liquids and Solids
Thermal destruction is the only method capable of destroying concentrated organic constituents in a
waste. Several types of thermal destruction are available: incineration and fuels blending. Fuels
blending at cement kilns is the most cost effective means of thermal destruction. Currently, only
pumpable organic liquids are acceptable for fuels blending. Substances exhibiting the RCRA
characteristics of corrosivity and ignitability, metals and oxidizers are usually acceptable in an organic
liquid wastestream for fuels blenders. Sludges, halogens, pesticides, sulfides and cyanides in organic
liquid wastestreams are usually not acceptable for cement kilns.
Commercial incineration is the treatment option of choice for organic liquid wastestreams which are not
fuels blendable (i.e., the waste contains sludges, halogens, pesticides, sulfides or cyanides).
All wastes with greater than 50 ppm of PCBs must be incinerated at a TSCA-permitted facility. PCBs
are covered further in Chapter 8.
Inorganic Solids
Corrosive acid or acidic or neutral, or basic or corrosive base, plus

Multi-phased Waste - Precedence of Treatment Options
1. Any phase that is ignitable - thermal destruction (with the exception of aqueous wastes with less
than 10 percent organic constituents wastewater treatment).
2. Any waste that contains more than 10 percent organic constituents - thermal destruction.
3. Any waste that contains more than 5 percent halogenated organic carbon - thermal destruction.
4. Aqueous waste that contains less than 10 percent organics and/or less than 5 percent halogenated
organics - wastewater treatment.
5. Inorganic sludge that contains less than 20 percent water and no regulated organics - stabilization
and landfilling.
6. Inorganic sludge that contains greater than 20 percent water and no regulated organics; separate
solids from liquids - wastewater treatment for liquids and stabilization and landfilling of the
remaining sludge.
7. Inorganic sludge and regulated organics - thermal destruction.
58
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal
NOTE: Wastestreams are determined by combining similar preliminary wastestream classification
samples according to the appropriately determined treatment method. For example, field testing results
may have indicated an aqueous sample with an organic sheen and less than 10 percent organics is a
separate wastestream from an aqueous sample with no sheen and less than 10 percent organics.
However, the treatment precedence above indicates these wastes will be disposed of in the same manner.
Thus, the wastes may be combined into a new final wastestream classified as aqueous with less than 10
percent organic constituents.
Subchapter V: Compositing Wastestream Samples and Determining the Appropriate Disposal
Analysis
Once wastestream classifications have been established according to physical properties, hazard
characteristics, and chemical compatibility, and once appropriate treatment options have been
established, additional laboratory analysis may be needed to determine the presence of regulated
constituents and the feasibility of recovery disposal options. Compositing wastestream samples for
detailed laboratory analysis is commonly used to minimize costs. The following factors must be
considered when compositing wastestream samples for laboratory analysis:
1. Possible treatment methods and required analysis for each treatment method.
2. The number of individual samples to be combined.
3. Possible PCB contamination.
4. The amount of sample needed to perform the anticipated analysis.
5. The amount of individual samples to be maintained for future analysis or disposal approval.
Analysis Parameters Based on Characteristics of the Waste and Possible Treatment Options
Several inexpensive laboratory tests can be performed to rule out the possibility of certain contaminants
or to determine the applicability of a particular treatment method. Additional, more expensive analyses
for concentrations of particular constituents can then be chosen.
If thermal destruction is the treatment option of choice for a determined wastestream, then values for
percent water, percent solids, total organic carbon (TOC), total organic halogens (TOX), also known as
halogenated organic carbon (HOC), flash point, boiling point, British thermal units (BTU), cyanides,
sulfides, percent ash, and PCBs are required to determine the practicability of fuels blending versus
incineration. These parameters will also be required by the disposal facility for calculating cost of
disposal. For thermal destruction, generator's knowledge or total values for volatile organic compounds
(VOC), base-neutral and acid extractables (BNA), and metals are sufficient to determine the regulated
constituents. Values for TCLP-regulated constituents can be assigned based on the results. The
application of RCRA waste codes based on total dry weight results rarely affects the pricing for thermal
destruction. Pricing is based on the general parameters that dictate the energy needed to destroy the
waste to the required extent.
If wastewater treatment is the treatment option of choice for a determined wastestream, then values for
percent water, percent solids, TOC, TOX, cyanides, sulfides, pH, and PCBs are usually required by the
disposal facility to determine the practicability of treatment at the particular plant and to determine
pricing. Total metals quantities are usually required for disposal. If the TOC value times the number of
samples composited is less then 0.01 percent, there is probably no need to perform further organic
analysis. If the TOC value is greater than 0.01 percent dry weight, then VOC and BNAs analyses may be
required. Remember, for the assignment of RCRA codes in an aqueous matrix, dry weight analysis
results are equivalent to TCLP results.
59
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal
If stabilization techniques or landfill are the treatment options of choice for a determined wastestream,
then values for percent water, percent solids, cyanides, sulfides, pH, and PCBs are required by the
disposal facility for applicability of the treatment or disposal as well as for pricing. TCLP analysis is
required for RCRA-regulated organics and metals unless information is available that indicates the
contaminants of concern are not present. For example, if Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) analyses
indicate that regulated VOC and BNA compounds are not present, the OSC has generator's knowledge
and analytical results to prove the constituents are not present at TCLP regulatory levels. Waste codes
may be .applied from dry weight results, but pricing for disposal will most likely be affected.
Sample Compositing
Descriptions, or profiles, of wastestreams required by disposal facilities are general. Therefore, all data
obtained for a wastestream should be reported on a profile as ranges, not as exact figures. The general
profile descriptions of wastestreams allow for separate container samples of the same wastestream to be
composited for laboratory analysis. Sample composites provide the necessary data at the least cost.
However, it is important to understand the effect of compositing samples in relation to the results
obtained and the interpretation of the results as applied to the wastestream. If a contaminant is present at
a regulated level in only one of several samples composited, dilution of the particular contaminant must
be considered in the interpretation of the analysis of the composite. When a particular analysis
parameter is known, the formula used to determine the maximum number (n) of samples per composite
is:
n =mcl/dl
Where mcl = maximum concentration limit of the method, and dl = detection limit of the analysis
parameter.
For example, the regulatory limit for PCBs is 50 ppm (MCL). If the analysis method detection limit for
PCBs is 1 ppm, the number of samples that can be composited is 50. However, if 50 samples are
composited and the analytical result for the composite sample is 1 ppm, there is no way to know whether
one sample of the 50 contains 50 ppm of PCBs while the others contain 0 ppm, or whether the opposite
extreme has occurred, each of the 50 samples contains 1 ppm of PCBs. Thus, it is prudent to limit the
number of samples composited for wastestream analysis to 10. It is also prudent to maintain the separate
individual samples. If the composite sample indicates a possible contaminant that may significantly
affect disposal, then the individual samples can be analyzed for the contaminant of concern.
Consider a wastestream determined to be an organic halogenated liquid with possible PCB
contamination. Ten samples are composited, and analysis indicates 10 ppm of PCBs. That is:
10 ppm (composite) = (Ci+C2+C3+C4+cs+C6+C7+C8+C9+cioyio
Where Cn result is the concentration in a particular individual sample of the 10 samples
composited. In this case, the maximum concentration possible for any one sample is 100 ppm, which is
the analytical result multiplied by the total number of samples composited. The minimum concentration
possible for the remaining nine samples is 0 ppm, assuming the maximum concentration is contained in
one sample (i.e., one sample contains 100 ppm while the remaining nine contain 0 ppm). The proper
disposal profile information, based on the data, is the range PCBs 0 to 100 ppm. If the cost of drum
disposal of PCB waste (exceeding 50 ppm) is $100/drum more than for non-PCB waste and PCB
analysis can be obtained for approximately $50/sample, an OSC may chose to reevaluate the contents of
the individual drum rather than dispose of all drums as PCB waste.
60
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal
Consider a wastestream determined to be aqueous and 10 samples are composited. The analysis of the
composite sample shows 0.01 percent (100 ppm) TOC and 99.99 percent water. This information is
sufficient to determine that none of the 10 samples exceeds the definition of RCRA wastewater (water
containing less than 1,000 ppm TOC). Thus, further analysis to identify trace organic contaminants may
not be needed.
Once the analysis parameters have been chosen and the number of samples to be composited per
wastestream has been determined, the amount of sample needed from each container in the wastestream
must be considered. CLP lists are available that give the type of container and quantity of sample needed
to analyze particular parameters. When possible, a duplicate of each composite should be maintained on
site for evaluation (tre'atability study, approval study) by the TSD, when determined. A minimum of one
8-ounce sample from each individual container should also be maintained in the event additional analysis
may be required (16-ounce samples should be maintained if less than 10 samples per wastestream are
composited).
It should also be noted, that sampling techniques may affect the accuracy of wastestream
determinations from any kind of testing. A representative sample of the container contents to be
evaluated is essential. If sampling is performed incorrectly, all field testing and analysis data may be
invalid.

Wastestreams Developed by RCRA Hazard and Compatibility Testing and Available Treatment
Options
1 . Perform field testing of samples of drum contents.
2. Develop preliminary wastestreams from physical characteristics, hazard characteristics and
chemical compatibility.
3. Determine potential treatment technologies for each preliminary wastestream.
4. Complete wastestream determinations based on field testing results and treatment technologies.
5. Determine appropriate analysis parameters from generator's knowledge and potential treatment
options. Use hierarchy of parameters to rule out expensive analysis where possible.
6. Composite samples based on wastestream determinations and acceptable contaminant concentration
ranges for the proposed treatment option. Maintain individual container samples and a duplicate
wastestream composite sample for future use.

CHAPTER 7
WASTE CHARACTERIZATION OF TANKS, VATS,
LAGOONS, EFFLUENT, AND SOIL
As is discussed throughout this manual, a waste is regulated by RCRA as a hazardous waste if it is
specifically listed as a hazardous waste, if it contains regulated hazardous constituents above a specified
concentration, or if it has been derived from, mixed with or contained in a hazardous waste. These
principles apply to bulk quantities of wastes found in tanks, vats and lagoons, and soil, just as they apply
to smaller, non-bulk quantities found in drums. Because these same principles apply, bulk wastes are
characterized for disposal along essentially the same lines as drummed wastes.
In the case of a bulk container of an unknown substance from an unknown source, the contents are
characterized for disposal utilizing the same process as is described in Chapter 6 for drum wastes.
However, the initial steps in properly sampling a bulk waste tend to be more elaborate and critical than in
sampling a non-bulk, drummed waste.
The sample or samples collected from any waste must be representative of the waste and account for any
variability in the waste. A drum containing a liquid can be sampled with a glass tube in such a manner
that the sample obtained is representative of the entire contents of the drum. Unfortunately, sampling
devices are not usually designed to obtain a single representative sample of a large quantity of waste
such as is found in tanks, vats, lagoons, effluent, or soil piles. Thus, several samples from different
locations within a bulk waste must be collected and composited to obtain a representative sample and to
account for variability in the waste. Just as with drums, different layers of contaminants and physical
phases in a bulk quantity of waste must be recognized and sampled to determine proper treatment and/or
disposal. Different physical phases, such as a sludge and a liquid, within a container must initially be
evaluated as separate wastestreams. All contaminant layers in a bulk quantity of waste can usually be
composited for disposal analysis. Interpretation of results obtained from a composite sample is discussed
in detail in Chapter 6. An example of analysis data interpretation for composited waste samples is
available in the example outlined in the Appendix.
The OSWER publication Solid Waste 846 (SW-846) "Test Methods for Evaluation of Solid Waste"
provides guidance to both the method and number of samples to collect from tanks, effluent, lagoons and
soils in order to obtain verifiable representative waste analysis results.
In the case of bulk quantities of wastes in tanks, vats, lagoons and effluent generated in process
manufacturing facilities, RCRA regulatory classifications for manufacturing process waste can usually
be assigned without sample characterization and analysis. The initial step in evaluating bulk quantities
of waste from manufacturing facilities for disposal (see Chapter I - RCRA) is review of the "U" and "P"
waste codes assigned to discarded commercial chemical products, off-specification species, and
container residues, the "K" codes assigned to specific source wastes, and the "F" codes assigned to
general process, non-specific source wastes.
RCRA land disposal restrictions and available waste treatment technologies can be evaluated based on
the RCRA hazardous waste classification. It is important to note that regardless of how the waste is
classified and the amount of information known about the source of the waste, representative samples of
a RCRA-classified waste are still needed to profile the waste properly for treatment and disposal. The
type of analysis required to profile a RCRA-classified waste depends on the classification and the
treatment technologies available for the waste. Often, representative samples of RCRA-classified waste
-------
Waste Characterization of Tanks, Vats, Lagoons, Effluent and Soil
can be analyzed by the TSDs considered for disposal as part of the treatability study included in the
profile fee. These TSD treatability studies usually include general analysis parameters such as percent
water and solids, total organic carbon, total halogenated organic carbon, flash point, and fuel value as
discussed in Chapter 6 for specific characterized wastestreams and treatment methods. The need for
more elaborate and expensive analyses to determine the concentration of specific contaminants should be
based upon the RCRA classification, treatment standards, the type of treatment selected, and the results
of the general parameter analyses.
Soil contamination resulting from a spill or release of a hazardous substance can be classified under
RCRA regulations as a "derived from" waste. Thus, all waste codes and associated treatment standards
that would have applied to the released substance or waste are applied to the area of contamination.
Since the transportation and off-site treatment of large volumes of contaminated soil are expensive, the
feasibility of on-site treatment options to mitigate the threat should be explored. With on-site treatment
of soil, CERCLA cleanup standards defined for the site by Regional EPA officials take precedence over
RCRA off-site disposal regulations. Proper sampling and analysis for the treatability study to determine
effectiveness of an on-site treatment option is essential. Again, the EPA guidance SW-846 should be
consulted to determine the procedures and methods to obtain representative samples for the waste
evaluation and treatability study.

CHAPTER 8
SPECIALTY WASTES
Subchapterl: Lab Packs
The term lab pack refers to specific exemptions to the DOT hazardous materials
transportation requirements and the RCRA hazardous waste treatment standard
requirements for laboratory-sized containers of waste. "Laboratory-sized containers"
means glass containers not exceeding a one-gallon capacity (4 liters) and metal or
plastic containers not exceeding a 5.3-gallon capacity (20 liters).
The DOT lab pack exemption allows specified laboratory-sized containers of
chemically compatible waste materials with the same hazard class to be placed in
combination packagings. The combination package or lab pack can be described
with the generic hazard class description for highway transportation only. The waste
must be classed as 3, 4.1,4.2,4.3, 5.1, 6.1, 8, or 9 and segregated as such to be
considered for lab pack. Wastes meeting the definition of 6.1 packing group I or
Division 4.3 packing group I, bromine pentafluoride, bromine trifluoride, chloric
acid, and oleum (fuming sulfuric acid), are specifically prohibited from lab packs.
The outer packaging of a DOT lab pack must be one of the following DOT-specified
containers:
1A2 - open head steel drum
1B2 - open head metal drum
ID- plywood drum
1G-fiber drum
1H2 - open head plastic drum
Inner packagings of a lab pack (laboratory-sized containers) holding liquids must be
surrounded by chemically compatible absorbent material in sufficient quantity to
absorb the total liquid content. The gross weight of a lab pack cannot exceed 452
pounds (205 kilograms). All other DOT hazardous materials requirements such as
labeling, manifesting, and emergency information as described in Chapter 2 of this
manual apply to the lab packs.
In order to achieve the chemically compatible requirements, lab wastes of the same
DOT hazard class may need to be segregated according to additional physical and
chemical properties. Following is a list of potential sub-segregation criteria for lab
packs:
Class 3 Flammable liquids: organic or inorganic
Class 4.1 Flammable solids: organic or inorganic
Class 4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials
Solids: organic or inorganic
Liquids: organic or inorganic

As an alternative to otherwise applicable RCRA hazardous waste treatment
standards or land disposal restrictions, lab packs are eligible to be incinerated at a
RCRA-approved facility. The ash from the incineration of authorized lab packs is
only subject to D004, D005, D006, D007, D008, D010, and D011 (TCLP metal
wastes) land disposal restrictions. Hazardous wastes eligible for this exemption
must be placed in an organometallic or an organic lab pack. Appendix IV of 40 CFR
268 lists RCRA codes for wastes that are authorized to be placed in an
organometallic lab pack; Appendix V of 40 CFR 268 lists RCRA codes for wastes
that are authorized to be placed in an organic lab pack. Thus, laboratory wastes
must be segregated according to the DOT-authorized hazard class, chemical
compatibility and the applicable RCRA hazardous waste classifications to be
considered for both DOT and RCRA lab pack exemptions.
The final consideration for the proper segregation and packaging of laboratory-sized
waste containers is TSD-specific requirements. The TSD's RCRA permit for
treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes affects the types of wastes the facility
may accept. Although waste may be packaged properly for DOT and RCRA lab
pack exemptions, the facility may not be permitted to treat a particular container
within a lab pack drum. Such a situation would result in the rejection of the entire
lab pack drum from the TSD.
The standard operating procedures at a TSD may also affect lab pack procedures.
Most facilities have developed special packaging requirements for wastes with
hazard characteristics that are difficult to handle. Examples of wastes that often
require special packaging requirements include sulfur and cyanide compounds,
ethers, oxidizers, alkali metals, bromine and iodine, silanes, air or water reactive
materials, lacrymators and other dangerous fire or explosion risk materials. Thus, to
ensure compliance with both regulatory and facility lab pack requirements, TSDs
generally require their own personnel to package laboratory wastes at a customer
66
-------

site.
If a TSD cannot be contracted to perform lab pack operations at a site in the time-
frame needed, site personnel could segregate lab wastes according to lab pack
regulatory standards. Segregation of wastes according to lab pack standards would
reduce the threat of adverse reactions between incompatible wastes and would
reduce the time and costs associated with final lab pack by a commercial TSD.
Subchapter U: Dioxins and Dibenzofurans
Dioxins are any chemical compound with the molecular structure where X
represents possible hydrogen, bromine, or chlorine substitution positions, see Figure
8-1 for an example.
2,3,7,8-Tetra chloro dibenzo-p-dioxin, or TCDD, has the chemical structure seen in
Figure 8-2.
Halogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins, HDDS, are any dioxins that have the 2, 3, 7, and 8
positions occupied by chlorine or bromine. Other positions may be occupied by
chlorine or bromine as well.
Dibenzofurans are any chemical compound with the molecular structure shown in
Figure 8-3 where X represents possible hydrogen, bromine, or chlorine substitution
positions.
Halogenated dibenzofurans, HDFS, are any dibenzofurans that have the 2, 3, 7, and
8 positions occupied by chlorine or bromine. Other positions may be occupied by
chlorine or bromine as well.
RCRA regulates dioxins and dibenzofurans under waste codes F020, F021, F023,
F026, F027, and F028. The codes are specific to wastes generated from the
production and manufacturing use of chlorophenols and chlorobenzenes, to wastes
generated from discarded unused formulations of chlorophenols, and to residues
from the treatment of soil contaminated with F020, F021, F023, F026 and F027
wastes.
Specifically listed hazardous constituents of these wastes include tetra-, penta-, and
hexa-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, and tri-, tetra- and penta-
chlorophenols and their chlorophenoxy derivative acids, esters, ethers, amines and
other salts.

RCRA further requires incinerators to achieve a 99.9999 percent destruction removal
efficiency for the principle organic hazardous constituents of dioxin-bearing wastes.
Within the past few years, one commercial incinerator in the United States was
permitted to bum dioxin and dibenzofuran bearing wastes. Unfortunately, in
September 1997, this incinerator notified clients that until further notice, they would
no longer accept dioxin and dibenzofuran bearing wastes for incineration. At this
time, there are no commercial incineration options available for the disposal of dioxin
and dibenxofuran bearing wastes.
On-site chemical reaction, photodegradation, bioremediation, and incineration with an
EPA-approved mobile incinerator have been used on Superfund sites to reduce HDD
and HDF contamination of soil and debris.

PCBs are regulated as a chemical substance under the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA). TSCA banned the manufacturing of PCBs in the United States in 1976 and
currently regulates the handling, storage and disposal of PCB substances and wastes.
TSCA defines specific handling, storage and disposal procedures for PCBs and PCB
items. TSCA definitions of types of PCB wastes that are commonly found at
Superfund removal projects are as follows:
• PCB substances include but are not limited to, dielectric fluids, contaminated
solvent, oils, waste oils, heat transfer fluids, hydraulic fluids, paints, sludges,
slurries, dredge spoils, soils, materials contaminated as a result of a spill, and
other chemical substances or a combination of substances that contain PCBs.
• PCB articles are manufactured articles that contain PCBs and whose surfaces
have been in direct contact with PCBs. PCB articles may include capacitors,
transformers, electrical motors, pumps and pipes.
• PCB containers are packages that contain PCBs or PCB articles,
• but whose surface has not been in direct contact with PCBs.
• PCB-contaminated electrical equipment (also called a PCB article) includes
any electrical equipment that contains between 50 to 500 ppm PCBs. Examples
are transformers, capacitors, circuit breakers, reclosures, voltage regulators,
switches, electromagnets and cable.
• PCB equipment means manufactured items, not including containers, that
contain a PCB article such as microwave ovens or fluorescent light ballasts and
fixtures.
• PCB transformers (also called PCB articles) are transformers that
• contain greater than 500 ppm PCBs.

• Non-PCB transformers are transformers that contain less than 50 ppm PCBs.

Authorized disposal of PCBs depends on the type of PCB waste, the physical state of
the waste (solid or liquid) and the concentration of PCBs in the waste. The terms
"chemical landfill," "incinerator" and "boiler" used in this chapter refer to disposal
options at TSCA-permitted facilities. Disposal options for specific PCB wastes are
described as follows:
Disposal of PCB substances:
1. Liquid hazardous wastes, as defined by RCRA and described in Chapter I of this
manual, that contain PCBs at a concentration of greater than 500 ppm must be
incinerated at a facility that is permitted under both RCRA and TSCA. Liquid
hazardous wastes that contain 50 to 500 ppm of PCBs must be thermally
destroyed at a RCRA- and TSCA-permitted boiler or incinerator.
2. Mineral oil dielectric fluid (from PCB-contaminated electrical equipment)
containing 50 to 500 ppm PCBs may be disposed of at an incinerator, chemical
waste landfill, or high efficiency boiler.
3. Other PCB liquids that contain 50 to 500 ppm PCBs may be disposed of at an
incinerator, chemical waste landfill, or high efficiency boiler.
4. Non-liquid PCBs in a concentration greater than 50 ppm in the form of
contaminated soil, rags or debris may be disposed of at an incinerator or
chemical waste landfill. (Note: It is illegal to process liquid PCBs into non-
liquid PCBs to circumvent high temperature incineration requirements.)
5. Dredged materials containing PCBs greater than 50 ppm may be disposed of at
an incinerator or a chemical waste landfill.
6. All other PCB substances with a concentration exceeding 50 ppm must be
incinerated. This includes all liquids containing greater than 500 ppm PCBs.
Disposal of PCB transformers (greater than 500 ppm PCBs
1. Emptied and rinsed PCB transformers may be disposed of at a chemical waste
landfill. "Emptied" means drained of all free flowing liquids. "Rinsed" means
filled with a solvent (kerosene, toluene, xylene) in which PCBs are readily
soluble, allowed to stand for at least 18 hours, and then drained thoroughly. All
PCB liquids, including rinsate, removed from a transformer must be disposed of
as PCB substances.
2. PCB transformers that have not been emptied and rinsed must be disposed of at
an incinerator.

Note: TSCA established a PCB Spill Clean-Up Policy as a guidance for
Responsible Parties in the event of a PCB release. The EPA determines the extent
and adequacy of a PCB cleanup. Additional information on the PCB Clean-Up
Policy can be referenced in 40 CFR sections 761.120 through 761.135.
Proper packaging, marking, labeling, manifesting, and record-keeping requirements
for the transportation of PCBs and PCB items off site for storage and disposal
TSCA, DOT and OSHA regulations govern the types of containers that may
properly be used for the transportation and storage of PCB wastes. TSCA packaging
regulations for PCBs are specified in 40 CFR 761.65 (c). TSCA packaging
regulations also reference OSHA packaging regulations specified in 29 CFR
1910.106, "Flammable and Combustible Liquids." DOT packaging regulations for
PCBs are specified in 49 CFR sections 172.102 (9), 172.102 (N81), 173.155,
173.202, and 173.241. In general, PCB liquids should be packaged in DOT-approved
steel drums with a closed head (UN 1A1) and PCB solids (such as contaminated soil
or debris) should be packaged in DOT-approved steel drums with an open head (UN
IA2). All PCB packaging regulations provide for the use of alternate containers, if
necessary, that protect against leaks and exposure to the environment. In some
cases, a PCB article may itself be used as a transportation and storage package. If
DOT-specified drums for PCB liquids and solids are impractical, the DOT and
TSCA regulations must be referenced for further guidance.
All PCB articles and containers, storage areas, and transportation vehicles, which have
been loaded with one or more PCB transformers or with more than 45 kilograms of
PCBs in the liquid phase, must be properly marked according to TSCA regulations.
Two types of PCB markings are defined by TSCA. The large PCB mark is referred to
as ML and is depicted in Figure 8-5. ML must be 6 inches by 6 inches if the item can
accommodate the size. ML may be reduced to a minimum of 2 inches by 2 inches. If
the PCB item can not accommodate the 2 square inch ML, the small PCB mark, Ms,
must be used. Ms is depicted in Figure 8-6. The standard Ms is 1 inch by 2 inches. Ms
may be reduced to 0.4 inches by 0.8 inches if necessary.

Subchapter IV: Explosive and Shock Sensitive Substances
An explosive substance is any material that undergoes change such as to cause the
extremely rapid release of gas and heat. A mass explosion is a blast that affects
almost the entire load instantaneously. Shock waves generated by the blast,
fragment projectiles and fire are the hazards associated with explosive substances.
A large variety of chemical compounds present explosion hazards. Many organic
nitro, nitroso and nitroamine compounds, nitrates, fulminates, azides, chlorates,
perchlorates, picrates, picryl, picric compounds, and organic peroxides are
explosive. A large variety of other chemicals form unstable, shock sensitive,
explosives upon exposure to air and/or light. Some examples of compounds that
form unstable explosives are isopropyl ether, ethyl ether, vinyl ethers, dioxanes,
tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexene, butadiene, styrene monomer, vinyl acetate monomer,
potassium amide and sodium amide.
The hazardous properties of all substances discovered on a site must be researched
before the onset of site operations. The handling of explosive and shock sensitive
wastes is extremely dangerous and should only be attempted by trained specialists
with the appropriate equipment.
Upon discovery of suspected explosive wastes on a site, the local bomb squad
should be contacted to evaluate the situation. Local bomb squads are often capable
of transporting small quantities of explosives to a detonation site for disposal. If the
local bomb squad is unable to properly handle and dispose of the material, the
feasibility of on-site treatment or on-site detonation can be evaluated. DOT
regulations forbid the transportation of many unstable explosive materials. Thus,
the option of off-site disposal of explosive wastes at a commercial TSD is limited.
On-site detonation is complicated by the need for proper geographical and
environmental conditions, safety concerns, pre-detonation and post-detonation
sampling and analysis to evaluate decomposition products, and permit requirements.
On-site detonations can only be performed by specialists with a blasting license.
On-site treatment involves the stabilization of the material for transportation and off-
site disposal. Most explosive compounds can be stabilized by dissolving the
substance in a suitable solvent. The resulting mixture can then be safely transported
to a RCRA-permitted TSD for incineration. On-site treatment should only be
performed by specialists with remote opening equipment. Opening a container of an
explosive material generates friction; friction can detonate unstable explosive
compounds.

Subchapter V: Radioactive Wastes
Radioactive substances emit three types of atomic energy: alpha particles, beta
particles and gamma rays. Alpha particles are identical to the nucleus of a helium
atom and are considered to be large atomic particles. Alpha particles travel less than
one inch from the source and can be blocked with a sheet of paper. Beta particles,
which are electrons from an atom, travel a few inches and can be blocked with a
sheet of aluminum foil. Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves that travel large
distances and can penetrate even dense material.
Survey instruments available to screen for radiation on a site measure milli-
Roentgens/hour (mR/hr). A Roentgen is a radiation dose unit in air. Typical
background gamma radiation is 0.02 mR/hr. EPA protocol dictates that when
radiation levels exceed three to five times background level, personnel must leave
the area and the Regional Radiation Safety Officer must be contacted to evaluate the
site conditions and determine proper employee protection and monitoring
requirements to comply with worker safety regulations. The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) regulates worker exposure to radiation on a short-term basis
(less than a day), a yearly basis, and a lifetime exposure basis.
RCRA regulations under the EPA specifically exclude radioactive source, special
nuclear and by-product materials as defined by the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of
1954, as amended, from solid and hazardous waste regulations. The NRC regulates
radioactive wastes under the AEA. However, both the EPA under RCRA and the
NRC under AEA regulate "mixed wastes." Mixed wastes are defined as radioactive
wastes that contain a RCRA-regulated hazardous waste component. The radioactive
component within a mixed waste is subject to AEA regulations, while the hazardous
waste components are subject to RCRA regulations. RCRA regulations of the
hazardous waste component of a mixed waste also include land disposal restrictions.
If RCRA and AEA regulations are inconsistent, AEA regulations under the NRC
take precedence. NRC regulations under the AEA can be referenced in 10 CFR.
Several commercial TSDs are authorized under both RCRA and AEA to treat and
dispose of low level mixed wastes. The Regional Radiation Safety Officer and
radioactive wastes specialists must be consulted prior to treatment and disposal of
radioactive or mixed wastes.

Determination of Preliminary Wastestreams
Small quantities of samples having the same haz-cat waste classification are mixed to determine chemical
compatibility and preliminary wastestreams (see Chapter 6, Subchapter IE). All samples with the same
haz-cat classifications that are chemically compatible are assigned to a preliminary wastestream.
• Single phase, inorganic, corrosive acid liquid samples (drums 01 and 02) are determined to be .
compatible, and the preliminary wastestream description single phase, inorganic corrosive acid liquid
100% is assigned to drums 01 and 02.
• Inorganic corrosive acid oxidizer. liquid 100% is the preliminary wastestream description for drum
03; none of the other drums meet this classification.
• Inorganic, corrosive base, liquid/sludge samples (drums 04 and 05) are determined to be compatible,
and the preliminary waste stream description inorganic, corrosive base liquid-/sludize (50 - 80%
liquids 20 - 50% solids') is assigned to drums 04 and 05.
• Organic, flammable liquid samples (drums 06 and 07) are determined to be compatible, and
• the preliminary wastestream description single phase, organic, flammable liquid. 100% is
• assigned to drums 06 and 07.
• Oreanic. 80% flammable liquid. 20% combustible liquid is the preliminary wastestream
• description for drum 08; none of the other drums meet this classification.
• Bi-laver organic liquid. 80% combustible liquid. 20% halogenated liquid - (possible PCS') is the
preliminary wastestream description for drum 09; none of the other drums meet this classification.
Treatment Options Based on Preliminary Wastestream Determinations
Treatment options are evaluated for each preliminary wastestream description (see Chapter 6, Subchapter
IV) for treatment option selections. Preliminary wastestream descriptions and associated treatments for
this site are as follows:
• Inorganic, corrosive acid, liquid, 100%

Determination of Final Waste Stream Descriptions Based on Treatment Technologies (see
Chapter 6, Subchapter IV.)
Because the descriptions of drums 06,07, and 08 are similar for disposal purposes and because they will
each undergo the same treatment, samples of drums 06, 07, and 08 are tested for compatibility. The tests
show that these samples are chemically compatible, and so the preliminary wastestream descriptions for
these samples are combined into a new wastesteam description: Organic flammable/combustible liquids
(80 - 100% flammable liquid. 0 - 20% combustible liquid). No other preliminary wastestream
descriptions can be combined based on treatment standard, thus all other preliminary wastestream
descriptions become final wastestream descriptions.
Selection of Disposal Analysis Parameters
Analysis parameter are selected based on the waste stream description, the treatment option for the waste
stream description and characteristics of the waste (see Chapter 6, Subchapter V). Analysis parameters
for the wastes in this example are as follows:
• Inorganic, corrosive acid, liquid, 100%

samples for each wastestream. The 16-ounce wastestream sample (a composite sample for wastestreams
containing several drums) is sent to a laboratory to obtain the needed analysis results. The 8-ounce
wastestream samples are maintained to meet future facility treatability study and/or additional laboratory
analysis requirements.

DOT Shipping Descriptions, Labels, Markings, and Packaging (See Chapter 2)
The DOT Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) in 49 CFR 172. 101 is consulted to determine the proper
shipping name, labels, and packaging references for each wastestream (See Chapter 2, Subchapter II for
shipping names and use the HMT; see Chapter 2 Subchapter III for packaging regulations). Additional
container marking requirements for each wastestream are also listed below (See Chapter 2, Subchapter
IV).

Packagings: 49 CFR 173.203
The Waste Profile
Once all regulatory information is obtained for each Wastestream and the RCRA permitted disposal
facility has been contracted, all information which describes the waste is completed on the designated
facility's waste profile form. The designated facility will then assign a profile number or waste approval
number to each profile (see Chapter 4, Subchapter I). The profile number must then be added to each
drum to be shipped. A commercial TSD's profile form is used in this manual to provide the user with an
example of a waste profile. It should be noted that each facility's form is unique, but all such forms
generally require the same information. The specific profile form in this manual is used solely to provide
an example and is based on a randomly selected form from a variety of commercial TSD waste profile
forms. The use of this form in this example in no way endorses or recommends the use of the TSD that
actually developed it.
See the following completed waste profile forms for this example. A blank waste profile form,
along with a blank manifest and LDR notification form are attached at the end of the Appendix for those
persons who want practice filling them out using the example data.
