Section I
Introduction
»iL.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for ensuring that businesses and organizations
comply with federal laws that protect the public health and the environment. Recently, EPA has begun combining
traditional enforcement activities with more innovative compliance approaches. In its Strategic Plan, the Agency
recognizes the need to assist the regulated community by providing compliance assistance and guidance that will
promote improved compliance and overall environmental performance (see Exhibit 1). EPA encourages regulated
entities to recognize compliance as the floor, rather than the ceiling, of environmental performance by
internalizing and implementing sound environmental practices. As part of that effort, EPA is encouraging the
development of self-assessment programs at individual facilities. Voluntary audit programs play an important
role in helping companies meet their obligation to comply with environmental requirements. Such assessments
can be a critical link, not only to improved compliance, but also to improvements in other aspects of an
organization's performance. For example, environmental audits may identify pollution prevention opportunities
that can substantially reduce an organization's operating costs.
Over the years, EPA has encouraged regulated entities to initiate environmental audit programs that support and
document compliance with environmental regulations. EPA has developed this audit protocol to provide regulated
entities with specific guidance in periodically evaluating their compliance with federal environmental
requirements.

Within its Strategic Plan, EPA has established a goal to ensure full compliance vtfith the laws Intended to protect'
human health and the environment. Within the framework of this goal, EPA's objectives are-as follows: """.r,
Identify and reduce significant non-compliance in high priority program areas, while maintaining a strong
enforcement presence in all regulatory program areas, '
Promote the regulated communities' voluntary compliance with environmental requirements through „ ;
compliance incentives and assistance programs. - ' •- * ,'.
In 1986, in an effort to encourage the use of environmental auditing, EPA published its "Environmental Auditing
Policy Statement" (see 51 FR 25004). The 1986 audit policy states that "it is EPA policy to encourage the use of
environmental auditing by regulated industries to help achieve and maintain compliance with environmental laws
and regulation, as well as to help identify and correct unregulated environmental hazards." In addition, EPA
defined environmental auditing as a systematic, documented, periodic, and objective review of facility operations
and practices related to meeting environmental requirements. The policy also identified several objectives for
environmental audits:
> verifying compliance with environmental requirements,
»• evaluating the effectiveness of in-place environmental management systems, and
»• assessing risks from regulated and unregulated materials and practices.

requirements are in anyway altered by any statement(s) contained herein.

In 1995, EPA published "Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery, Disclosure, Correction and Prevention of
Violations" which both reaffirmed and expanded its 1986 audit policy. The 1995 audit policy offers major
incentives for entities to discover, disclose and correct environmental violations. Under the 1995 policy, EPA will
not seek gravity-based penalties or recommend criminal charges be brought for violations that are discovered
through an "environmental audit" (as defined in the 1986 audit policy) or a management system reflecting "due
diligence" and that are promptly disclosed and corrected, provided that other important safeguards are met (see
Exhibit 2). These safeguards protect health and the environment by precluding policy relief for violations that
cause serious environmental harm or may have presented imminent and substantial endangerment, for example.

This protocol, which is part of a set containing other area or statutory specific audit protocols, is a tool to assist
you in conducting environmental audits, which should inform you whether your facility is in compliance with
federal regulations. EPA has developed these audit protocols to assist and encourage businesses and organizations
to perform environmental audits and disclose violations in accordance with EPA's audit policy. The audit
protocols are intended to promote consistency among regulated entities when conducting environmental audits
and to ensure that audits are conducted in a thorough and comprehensive manner.
This document is intended solely for guidance. No statutory or regulatory
requirements are in any way altered by any statements) contained herein.
-------
Protocol for Conducting Environmental Compliance Audits of Hazardous Waste Generators under RCRA
Each protocol provides guidance on key requirements, defines regulatory terms, and gives an overview of the
federal laws affecting a particular environmental management area. It also includes a checklist containing
detailed procedures for conducting a review of facility conditions. In order to use these documents effectively,
you should be familiar with basic environmental auditing practices and the relevant environmental regulations
under Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The audit protocols are not intended to be exclusive or
limiting with respect to procedures that may be followed. EPA recognizes that other audit approaches and
techniques may be effective in identifying and evaluating a facility's environmental status and in formulating
recommendations to correct observed deficiencies.
These protocols can be used as a basis to implement, upgrade, or benchmark environmental management
activities. The protocols are a management tool for measuring and improving environmental performance by
correcting deficiencies uncovered by the audit (see Exhibit 3). This process is perhaps the key element to a high
quality environmental management program and will function best when an organization identifies the "root
causes" of each audit finding. Root causes are those breakdowns in management oversight, information
exchange, and evaluation that allow environmental problems to recur. Thus, while an organization may have
developed an excellent record of dealing with a symptom, such as spill response, the underlying problem or "root
cause" has not been addressed. Furthermore, identifying the root cause of an audit finding can mean identifying
not only the failures that require correction but also the successes. In each case a root cause analysis should
uncover the failures while promoting the successes so that an organization can make continual progress toward
environmental excellence.

To conduct effective compliance audits, the auditor or audit team needs to possess sound working knowledge of
the operations and processes to be reviewed, the relevant regulations that apply to a given facility, and of
acceptable auditing practices. The audit protocol should be used as a planning tool to assist the auditor in
understanding the requirements for conducting a comprehensive audit. This document will provide the user with a
generic audit approach to regulatory issues that may require closer examination. Once the general issues are
identified through the use of this protocol, the auditor should perform a more detailed investigation to determine
the specific area of noncomplianceto be corrected. The auditor should review federal, state and local

requirements are in any way altered by any statement(s) contained herein.

environmental requirements and annotate the protocol, as required, to include other applicable requirements not
included in the protocol.
The auditor also should determine which regulatory agency has authority for implementing an environmental
program so that the proper set of regulations is consulted. State programs that implement federally mandated
programs may contain more stringent requirements. This protocol should not be used as a substitute for the
applicable regulations.
The collective set of the audit protocols developed by EPA is designed to support a wide range of environmental
auditing needs; therefore several of the protocols in this set or sections of an individual protocol may not be
applicable to a particular facility. Each protocol is not intended to be an exhaustive set of procedures; rather it is
meant to inform the auditor, about the degree and quality of evaluation essential to a thorough environmental
audit. EPA is aware that other audit approaches may provide an effective means of identifying and assessing
facility environmental status and in developing corrective actions.
Each protocol contains the following information:
• List of acronyms and abbreviations used in the document,
• Applicability - provides guidance on the major activities and operations included in the protocol and a brief
description of how the protocol is applied,
• Review of federal legislation - identifies key issues associated with the subject protocol area,
• State and local regulations - identifies typical issues normally addressed in state and local regulations but does
not present individual state/local requirements,
• Key compliance requirements - summarizes the overall thrust of the regulations for that particular protocol,
• Key compliance definitions - defines important terms,
• Typical records to review - highlights documents, permits and other pertinent paperwork that should be
reviewed by an auditor and reconciled against regulatory requirements,
• Typical physical features to inspect - highlights pollution control equipment, manufacturing and process
equipment and other areas that should be visited and evaluated during an audit,
• Index for checklist users - outlines different areas of the checklist that may pertain to the facility being
audited,
• Checklist - matches the regulatory requirements with the tasks that should be accomplished by the auditor,
and
• Appendices - supporting information for the checklist (e.g., regulatory deadlines, lists of contaminants,
wastes, and required testing procedures). Note: information contained in the appendices is dated and should
be verified with a current version of the applicable federal regulations.
The checklist delineates what should be evaluated during an audit. The left column states either a requirement
mandated by regulation or a good management practice that exceeds the requirements of the federal regulations.
Good management practices are distinguished from regulatory requirements in the checklist by the acronym (MP)
and are printed in italics. The regulatory citation is given in parentheses after the requirement. The right column
gives instructions to help conduct the evaluation. These instructions are performance objectives that should be
accomplished by the auditor. Some of the performance objectives may be simple documentation checks that take
only a few minutes; others may require a time-intensive physical inspection of a facility.
EPA is presently is the process of developing a series of audit protocol application guides to serve as companion
documents to the set of protocols. The application guides will provide the auditor with a matrix that identifies and
cross-references certain site-specific activities or unit operations with particular environmental aspects of that
activity. For example, managing hazardous waste containers is a site-specific activity with environmental
concerns, such as possible releases to air, and water, that may require additional review through auditing. By
using the application guide the user can identify facility specific practices that require more in-depth review. In

Section II
Audit Protocol
This booklet is intended to help inform facilities that generate hazardous waste, and it includes requirements for waste
minimization and export of hazardous waste. There is a separate booklet that applies to treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities (TSDFs).
Not all checklist items will be applicable to a particular facility. Guidance is provided on the checklists to direct the
auditor to the regulations typically applicable to the type of hazardous waste activities/facilities on the site.
There are numerous environmental regulatory requirements administered by federal, state, and local governments.
Each level of government may have a major impact on areas at the facility that are subject to the audit. Therefore,
auditors are advised to review federal, state, and location regulations in order to perform a comprehensive audit.
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Subtitle C (1976)
The Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, which amended the Solid Waste Disposal Act of
1965, addresses hazardous (Subtitle C) and solid (Subtitle D) waste management activities. Subtitle C of RCRA, 42
U.S. Code (USC) sections 6921-6939b, establishes standards and procedures for the handling, storage, treatment, and
disposal of hazardous waste. For example, RCRA prohibits the placement of bulk or noncontainerized liquid
hazardous waste or free liquids containing hazardous waste into a landfill. It also prohibits the "land disposal" of
specified wastes and disposal of hazardous waste through underground injection within 1/4 mile (0.40 km) of an
underground source of drinking water. Pursuant to Subtitle C of RCRA, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
promulgated regulations at 40 CFR Parts 260-299, establishing a "cradle-to-grave" system that governs hazardous
waste from the point of generation to its treatment or disposal.
The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Wastes Amendments (HSWA) greatly expanded the requirements and coverage of
RCRA. Perhaps the most significant provision of HSWA is the prohibition on the land disposal of hazardous waste.
The land disposal restrictions (LDRs) promulgated by EPA essentially ban the disposal of untreated liquid hazardous
waste or hazardous waste containing free liquids in landfills and establish treatment standards for these wastes. In
addition to the new statutory and regulatory requirements imposed by HSWA, a new subtitle to the act was created to
govern underground storage tanks (USTs). This document does not provide audit guidance for underground or
above ground storage tanks regulated under RCRA. Audit guidance and technical information on above and
underground storage tanks is provided by EPA in a separate protocol titled Protocol for Conducting Environmental
Compliance Audits of Underground and Above Ground Storage Tanks and is expected to be available in 1999.
After assessing air emissions at TSDFs, the EPA ascertained that volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) adversely affect
human health and welfare. In response, EPA promulgated three subparts of RCRA rules designed to control VOCs. In
1990, EPA issued Subparts AA and BB, which amended 40 CFR Parts 264 and 265. Subpart AA governs organic
chemical emissions from certain hazardous waste treatment processes, while Subpart BB governs equipment that
contains or contacts hazardous waste with at least 10% organic chemicals by weight. Subpart CC includes requirements
for controlling VOC emissions from tanks, surface impoundments, containers, and certain miscellaneous "Subpart X"
units. The Subpart CC Final Rule was signed on December 6, 1994, and the Final Rule Amendments were signed on
October 4,1996.
This document is intended solely for guidance. No statutory or regulatory
requirements are in any way altered by any statement(s) contained herein.
-------
Protocol for Conducting Environmental Compliance Audits of Hazardous Waste Generators under RCRA
^ ™
RCRA encourages states to develop their own parallel regulatory programs for hazardous waste management. This
includes enacting statutory authority and operating hazardous waste regulatory programs. Many states have met the
requirements established by EPA in 40 CFR 271 (Requirements for Authorization of state Hazardous Waste Programs)
and have been approved to manage their own state programs. Many states have adopted the EPA regulations by
reference or have promulgated regulations that are identical to the EPA regulations, while other states have
promulgated regulations stricter than the federal RCRA. These differences between individual state regulations and the
federal program require that auditors check the status of their state's authorization and then determine which regulations
apply. For example, some states have listed additional waste as hazardous waste (used oil, PCBs, asbestos). Since the
section checklists are based exclusively on the requirements of the federal RCRA program, the auditor should
determine in what ways the applicable state program differs from the federal program.
Identification of Hazardous Waste
Proper identification of hazardous wastes is a complex task that is fundamental to determining which materials at a
facility are subject to RCRA Subtitle C requirements. To determine whether or not a material is a hazardous waste, a
facility must answer four questions about each waste stream. First, is the material a "solid waste," as defined by the
RCRA regulations? The regulatory framework for distinguishing solid and hazardous wastes can be found at 40 CFR
§§261.2 and 261.3. Second, does it fit one of the exclusions from the definition of solid or hazardous waste? Materials
that have been excluded are listed in 40 CFR §261.4. Third, is it a listed or characteristic hazardous waste? Listed and
characteristic wastes are defined in 40 CFR §261, Subparts B, C, and D. And finally, has the waste been delisted?
Waste Analysis
A solid waste is a hazardous waste if it is a listed hazardous waste (defined at 40 CFR §261, Subpart D) or if it exhibits
any of the characteristics defined in 40 CFR §261, Subpart C. In order to determine whether the waste exhibits any of
the characteristics, the generator generally must use analytical methods capable of quantitatively identifying the
contaminants in question. Unlike characteristic wastes, listed wastes are generally determined based on the generator's
knowledge of its manufacturing process or the chemicals used.
A generator can meet waste analysis requirements using several methods or combinations of methods. Wherever
feasible, the preferred method is to conduct sampling and laboratory analysis because it is more accurate than other
options. However, generators can also apply "acceptable knowledge," which includes (1) process knowledge; (2) waste
analysis data obtained from facilities that send their waste off-site for treatment, storage, or disposal; or (3) records of
analysis performed before the effective date of RCRA regulations, assuming the information is current and accurate.
Process knowledge involves obtaining detailed information on a waste from existing published or documented waste
analysis data or studies conducted on hazardous waste generated by processes similar to that which generated the
waste.
When using process descriptions and existing data, a facility must carefully scrutinize whether (1) there are any
differences between the processes documented and the actual processes and (2) the data used are accurate and current,
including (a) whether any wastes are newly regulated as hazardous wastes, (b) whether existing data are sufficient to
identify any new constituent concentration limits, and (c) the information is based on currently valid analytical
techniques.
This document is intended solely for guidance. No statutory or regulatory
requirements are in any way altered by any statements) contained herein.
-------
Protocol for Conducting Environmental Compliance Audits of Hazardous Waste Generators under RCRA
Generator Requirements
The responsibilities of any particular facility are based on the amount of hazardous waste being generated in one
calendar month. Typical hazardous wastes include solvents, paint, contaminated antifreeze or oil, and sludges. In some
states, waste oil and other substances have been classified as a hazardous waste and therefore need to be included in the
total amount of waste generated. Under federal regulations there are three classifications of generators:
1. A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) generates no more than 100 kg (220.46 Ib.) of
hazardous waste or 1 kg (2.20 Ib.) of acutely hazardous waste in a calendar month. A CESQG also may not
accumulate on-site more than 1,000 kg (2,204.62 Ib.) of hazardous waste at any one time. When either the volume
of hazardous waste produced in one calendar month exceeds 100 kg (220.46 Ib.) or more than 1,000 kg (2,204.62
Ib.) of hazardous waste have accumulated on-site, the facility is required to comply with the more stringent
standards applicable to a Small Quantity Generator (SQG). When the volume of acutely hazardous waste exceeds
1 kg of spill residue, contaminated soil, waste or other debris exceeds 100 kg, then the waste is subject to standards
applicable to large quantity generators (LQGs);
2. An SQG generates between 100 kg (220.46 Ib.) and 1,000 kg (2,204.62 Ib.) of hazardous waste in a calendar
month. The hazardous waste cannot accumulate on-site for more than 180 days unless the waste is transported
more than 200 miles (321.87 km) to a treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF). If the hazardous waste must
be transported more than 200 miles, it can accumulate for up to 270 days. At no time is there to be more than
6,000 kg (13,227.73 Ib.) of hazardous waste accumulated at the facility. When the volume of hazardous waste
generated in one month exceeds 1,000 kg (2,204.62 Ib.) of nonacutely hazardous waste or 1 kg (2.20 Ib.) of acutely
hazardous waste or the accumulation time limit is exceeded, the facility is required to comply with the standards
for an LQG. When more than 6,000 kg (13,227.73 Ib.) of hazardous waste is stored on-site, the SQG is required to
obtain a storage permit and comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 264 and 40 CFR 265;
3. An LQG generates more than 1,000 kg (2,204.62 Ib.) of hazardous waste in a calendar month. (NOTE: Using
water, which weighs approximately 8.34 lbs./gal (3.78 kg/gal or 1 kg/L) as a basis of measurement, 100 kg (220.46
Ib.) would equal about 26.4 gallons (100 L) (almost one-half of a 55-gal. (208.2 L) drum); 1,000 kg (2,204.62 Ib.)
would equal about 264 gallons (1000 L) (almost five 55-gal. drums)).
Whether the facility is a CESQG, SQG, or a LQG determines whether and how the RCRA regulations apply to that
facility. Storage areas connected with generation points are often referred to as 90 day storage areas. Regardless of the
amount of hazardous waste generated, the regulations require every facility to test or use knowledge of materials or
processes used to determine if its waste is a listed hazardous waste or exhibits one of four hazardous characteristics
(ignitability, corrosivity, toxicity, reactivity).

requirements are in anyway altered by any statement(s) contained herein.

Protocol for Conducting Environmental Compliance Audits of Hazardous Waste Generators under RCRA
Pre-Transport Requirements
Hazardous waste shipped off-site must be packaged, labeled and marked. The vehicles used to transport the waste must
be placarded in accordance with DOT regulations.
90 Day Storage
90 day storage is an area in or near the place where hazardous waste is accumulated or stored before being sent off-site
for disposal. Storage in these areas is temporary, and the permissible length of time for accumulation depends on
whether the facility is classified as an LQG, SQG, or CESQG.
Satellite Accumulation Point Management
A satellite accumulation point is an area at or near the point of generation where no more than 55 gal. (208.20 L) of a
hazardous waste or one qt. (0.95 L) of acutely hazardous waste is accumulated. The satellite accumulation point is to
remain under the control of a single operator. When the 55 gal. (208.20 L) limit is reached, the operator has three days
to move the waste to a 90 day storage area or a permitted TSDF. These standards apply to SQGs and LQGs only.
Waste Minimization/Pollution Prevention
Waste minimization and pollution prevention programs are being increasingly discussed and implemented by both
environmental managers and environmental policy makers. Usually defined as a reduction in the volume and toxicity of
waste, waste minimization often pays for itself through reduced disposal costs, operating costs, and liability. While
these cost savings are often enough to justify a program, there are an increasing number of voluntary and mandatory
programs that drive waste minimization/pollution prevention.
Under RCRA, LQGs are required to sign a certification on each manifest stating that they have a program in place to
reduce waste to the degree that is economically feasible and to select a disposal method that minimizes threats to
human health and the environment. SQGs must show a "good faith effort" to minimize waste and to select the best
waste management method available.
EPA has also developed guidelines on a waste minimization program for generators. Issued in 58 Federal Register (FR)
31114 on May 28,1993, the Interim Final Guidance to Hazardous Waste Generators on the Elements of a Waste
Minimization Program is intended to provide guidance to generators of regulated hazardous wastes. The program
includes:
• Provisions for top management assurance that waste minimization is a company-wide effort;
» Characterization of waste generation and waste management costs;
• Periodic waste minimization assessments;
• A cost allocation system;
» Encouragement of technology transfer; and
• Program implementation and evaluation.
For further information regarding the RCRA regulations, contact U.S. EPA's RCRA/UST, Superfund and
EPCRA Hotline at 800-424-9346 (or 703-412-9810 in the D.C. area) from 9 a.m. to 6 pm, Monday through
Friday.
This EPA hotline provides up-to-date information on regulations developed under RCRA, CERCLA
(Superfund), and the Oil Pollution Act. The hotline can assist with Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (CAA)
and Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) regulations. The hotline also responds to
requests for relevant documents and can direct the caller to additional tools that provide a more detailed
discussion of specific regulatory requirements.

HW.5. Facilities that generate
solid wastes must determine if
the wastes are hazardous
wastes (40 CFR 261.3,
261.4{b), 261.24, and 262.11).
Determination of whether or not a waste is a hazardous waste can be done through
one of the following:
- Knowledge of all the constituents of the waste (MSDSs) and whether it is listed in
40 CFR 261
- Laboratory analysis
- Knowledge of materials and processes used
- A sample which is collected for the sole purpose of testing to determine
characteristics or composition. (SW.846))
(NOTE: Unidentified waste materials and spilled hazardous materials may have to be
disposed of as hazardous waste depending on their constituents or characteristics.)
Discuss with staff how wastes generated on the facility were identified and classified.
Determine if the facility followed EPA criteria for identifying the characteristics of
hazardous waste and EPA's listed wastes in 40 CFR 261 (see Appendices A, B, C,
and D. Note: The appendices contained in this document are dated. Auditors
should consult a current version of the regulations to ensure that accurate lists

detection and liquid collection system capable of detecting, collecting, and
removing leaks of hazardous constituents at the earliest practicable time
- It has controls sufficient to prevent fugitive dust emissions
- It is designed and operated to ensure containment and prevent the tracking of
materials from the unit by personnel and equipment.
HW.84. Containment buildings
are required to be designed

Review the generator's waste minimization program to determine if the program
includes practical methods for reducing the volume of hazardous wastes generated.
Determine whether any or all of the following methods suggested by EPA are
incorporated into the program:
- The generator retains information that documents waste minimization activities.
- The program includes:
- provisions for top management assurance that waste minimization is a company-
wide effort
- characterization of waste generation and waste management costs
- periodic waste minimization assessments
— a cost allocation system
— encourages technology transfer
— program implementation and evaluation
— waste minimization employee awareness plans
— adequate funding
- clearly delineated roles both within the company and among each facility
