1.0       INTRODUCTION



          In accordance with the amendments to the Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act (RCRA) enacted in the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA)

of November 8, 1984, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to

establish best demonstrated available technology (BOAT) treatment standards

for the listed waste identified in 40 CFR 261.31 as F024,  certain wastes from

the production of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons.  Compliance with these

BDAT treatment standards is a prerequisite for placement of the waste in units

designated as land disposal units according to 40 CFR Part 268.  The BDAT

treatment standards will be effective as of June 8, 1989.



          This background document provides the Agency's rationale and techni-

cal support for selecting the proposed constituents to be regulated in F024

and for developing proposed treatment standards for these constituents.  The

document also provides waste characterization information that serves as a

basis for determining whether variances from a treatment standard may be

warranted for a particular F024 waste that has characteristics such that the

particular waste is more difficult to treat than the wastes that were analyzed

in developing treatment standards for F024.



          The Agency's legal authority and promulgated methodology for estab-

lishing treatment standards and the petition process necessary for requesting

a variance from the treatment standards is summarized in EPA's Methodology for

Developing BDAT Treatment Standards.

-------
          This background document presents waste-specific information on the

number and locations of facilities affected by the land disposal restrictions

for F024;  the processes generating the waste; waste characterization data; the

technologies used to treat the waste (or similar wastes, if any); and treat-

ment performance data on which the proposed treatment standards are based.

This document also explains EPA's determination of BDAT, selection of constit-

uents to be regulated, and calculation of proposed treatment standards.



          Under 40 CFR 261.31, wastes identified as F024 are listed as fol-

lows:


          F024 - Wastes, including but not limited to, distillation residues,
          heavy ends, tars, and reactor clean-out wastes from the production
          of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, having carbon content from
          one to five, utilizing free radical catalyzed processes.  (This
          listing does not include light ends, spent filters and filter aids,
          spent dessicants, wastewater, wastewater treatment sludges, spent -
          catalysts,.and wastes listed in 40 CFR 261.32.)


The Agency estimates that there are 29 facilities that generate F024.



          The Agency is proposing to regulate 10 organic constituents, 2 metal

constituents, and 5 dioxins and furans in both F024 nonwastewater and F024

wastewater.  Due to the wide variation in the types of F024 generated by

industry,  a large number of constituents were selected for proposed regulation

to ensure  that the different hazardous constituents which may be present in

F024 are controlled.  For the purpose of determining the applicability of the

proposed treatment standards, wastewaters are wastes containing less than 1/t
F024 BD                               1-2

(weight basis) total suspended solids  and less than 1% (weight basis) total

organic carbon (TOC).  Wastes not meeting this definition are classified as

nonwastewaters.



          The proposed BDAT treatment standards for organic constituents in

both nonwastewater and wastewater forms of F02iJ are based on treatment perfor-

mance data from rotary kiln incineration of F02iJ.



          The proposed BDAT treatment standards for two metal constituents in

F024 nonwastewater, chromium and nickel, are based on a transfer of treatment

performance data from stabilization of ash from the incineration of K048 and

K051.  The Agency is currently performing BDAT testing using stabilization to

treat F024 incinerator ash.  Depending on the results of this testing and the

levels of treatment performance achieved, the Agency may establish a treatment

standard for lead in F024 nonwastewater and may modify the nonwastewater

standards for chromium and nickel.  The proposed BDAT treatment standards for

metal constituents in F024 wastewater are based on a.transfer of treatment
           The term "total suspended solids" (TSS) clarifies EPA's previously
used terminology of "total solids" and "filterable solids."  Specifically,
total suspended solids is measured by Method 209C (total suspended solids
dried at 103-105°C) in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, American Public Health Association, American Water Works
Association, and Water Pollution Control Federation, Sixteenth Edition
(Reference 36).

-------
performance data from.treatment of K062 mixed with metal-bearing

characteristic wastes by chemical precipitation followed by vacuum filtration.



          The proposed BDAT treatment standards for dioxin and furan constitu-

ents in both nonwastewater and wastewater forms of F024 are set at the

analytical limit of detection that can be routinely achieved for these

constituents, consistent with the dioxins rule promulgated by the Agency on

November 8, 1986 (51 Federal Register, 40572, 40638).



          The following tables list the specific proposed BDAT treatment

standards for F024.   The treatment standards reflect the total concentration

of each organic, dioxin and furan constituent being proposed for regulation in

F024 nonwastewater and the total concentration of each organic, metal, dioxin

and furan constituent being proposed for regulation in F024 wastewater.  The

treatment standards for metal constituents in nonwastewater are based on

analysis of leachate obtained by use of the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching

Procedure (TCLP) found in Appendix I of 40 CFR Part 268.  The units for total

constituent concentration are in mg/kg (parts per million on a weight-by-

weight basis) for nonwastewater and in mg/1 (parts per million on a weight-

by-volume basis) for wastewater.  The units for leachate analysis are in mg/1

(parts per million on a weight-by-volume basis).  If the concentrations of the

proposed regulated constituents in F024, as generated, are lower than or equal

to the proposed treatment standards, then treatment of F024 is not required

prior to land disposal.

2.0       INDUSTRY AFFECTED AND WASTE CHARACTERIZATION



          The purpose of this section is to describe the industry affected by

the proposed land disposal restrictions for F024 and to present available

characterization data for this waste.



          Under 40 CFR 261.31 (hazardous wastes from non-specific sources),

wastes identified as F024 are listed as follows:


          Wastes, including but not limited to, distillation residues, heavy
          ends, tars, and reactor clean-out wastes from the production of
          chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, having carbon content from one
          to five, utilizing free radical catalyzed processes.  (This listing
          does not include light ends, spent filters and filter aids, spent
          dessicants, wastewater, wastewater treatment sludges, spent cata-
          lysts, and wastes listed in 40 CFR 261.32.)


2.1       Industry Affected and Process Description



          By definition in 40 CFR 261.31, F024 is waste specifically generated

from the production of Ci-C5 aliphatic hydrocarbons by free radical catalyzed

processes.  The Agency estimates that there are 29 domestic facilities that

may generate F024.  Table 2-1 lists the number of facilities by state, while

Table 2-2 lists the number of facilities by EPA region.  These facilities were

identified using both the 1987 Stanford Research Institute Directory of

Chemical Producers for major C-J-C5 chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons as well

as plant reports prepared for EPA's Characterization and Assessment Division.

-------
          The chemicals used in chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon manufacture

are chlorocarbon or hydrocarbon feedstocks and chlorine sources (Cl2 or HC1).

The majority of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon manufacturing is based on

five general chemical processes.  They are:


          (1)  free radical initiated addition, substitution, and pyrolysis
               reactions,

          (2)  Lewis acid catalyzed addition and substitution reactions,

          (3)  oxychlorination,

          (4)  base catalyzed dehydrochlorination, and

          (5)  zinc chloride catalyzed chlorination of alcohols.


Several of these processes may be integrated within a facility to convert the

feedstock into a variety of desirable products.  F024 may be generated when

free radical catalyzed processes are either utilized solely or combined with

other reaction processes.  A generalized process diagram of the production of

C-|-C5 chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons is presented in Figure 2-1.



          As shown in Figure 2-1, an organic feedstock is fed, along with a

chlorine source, into a series of chlorination reactors.  Desired chemical

conversions are catalyzed in the reactor by heat, a combination of heat and

ultraviolet radiation, or chemicals (such as FeCl3, CuCl2, ZnCl2, or NaOH); at

least one such conversion must be catalyzed by free radicals for a generated

waste to be considered F024.  These reactions may be conducted in either the

gas or the liquid phase.  F024 is generated by these processes as reactor

residues, tars, and periodic clean-out wastes.

          The reaction product is then sent to a filtration unit where spent


catalysts, if any, are removed for recycle or treatment.  Spent catalysts are
                                  i

not included in the F024 listing definition.






          The remaining product undergoes a separation step where it is


quenched or cooled with water and/or distilled.  This separates the unreacted


feedstock from the crude product and helps prevent product decomposition.  The


unreacted feedstock is then recycled back to the reactors.  Hydrochloric acid


is usually a major co-product from the reactor and is typically recovered from


the vent gases generated by both the reactor and the quenching/cooling step.






          The crude product streams are generally put through a series of


washing, neutralization, and drying steps, which aid in separating the organic


phase (the product) from the aqueous phase.  The spent wash solutions gener-


ated in these steps, along with the wastewater generated by HC1 recovery, are


then recycled or treated.  A treated wastewater and various wastewater treat-


ment sludges result.  This wastewater and the wastewater treatment sludges are


not included in the F024 listing definition.





          Finally, the product stream goes through a series of purification


and separation steps using fractional distillation and filtration techniques.


The distillation residues or heavy ends resulting from these steps are


included in the F024 listing definition.

2.2       Waste Characterization



          Table 2-3 presents a summary of the available characterization data

for F024.  Data are presented for all BOAT List constituents that were

detected in one or more F024 samples.  The summary in Table 2-3 was compiled

from data submitted by industry and data collected by EPA for a wide range of

F024 waste matrices.  These data include wastes generated from various C]-C$

manufacturing processes and include a wide range of physical forms, i.e.,

liquids, solids, and sludges.  Specific data for 11 of the  16 facilities

represented in this table have been claimed RCRA Confidential Business Infor-

mation and can be found in the confidential portion of the  rulemaking record

for F024.



          As can be seen in Table 2-3, the variability among different types

of F024 is quite large.  The wastes contains up to 95% organic constituents

(BDAT List organics and non-BDAT List organics), less than  \% BDAT List metals

and up to 10? each, oil and grease, moisture, and ash.  The wide variations in

both the detection limits and the analytical results are caused by the differ-

ences in the F024 waste matrices.



2.3       Determination of Waste Treatability Group



          EPA bases its treatability group decisions primarily on whether

wastes were generated by the same or by similar industries  from similar

processes.   EPA believes that such groupings can be made because of the high
F024 BCD                              2-7
0727-02.mel.7

-------
likelihood that the waste characteristics which affect treatment performance

will be similar of these different wastes and therefore, similar levels of

treatment performance can be achieved.  Based on the similarities among the

processes generating F024, the various types of F024 were combined  in one

waste treatability group.

3.0       APPLICABLE AND DEMONSTRATED TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES



          This section identifies the treatment technologies that are applica-

ble to F024 and determines which, if any, of the applicable technologies can

be considered demonstrated for the purpose of establishing BDAT.



          To be applicable, a technology must theoretically be usable to treat

the waste in question or to treat a waste that is similar in terms of para-

meters that affect treatment selection.  (For detailed descriptions of the

technologies applicable for these wastes, or for wastes judged to be similar,

see EPA's Treatment Technology Background Document.)  To be demonstrated, the

technology must be employed in full-scale operation for treatment of the waste

in question or a similar waste.  Technologies available only at pilot- and

bench-scale operations are not considered in identifying demonstrated

technologies.



3.1       Applicable Treatment Technologies



          Since F024 contains high concentrations of organic compounds (as

shown in Section 2.0), applicable treatment technologies include those that

recover,  destroy, or reduce the total amount of various organic compounds in

the waste.  The Agency has identified.the following treatment technologies as

applicable for F024:  incineration (fluidized bed, rotary kiln, and liquid

injection) followed by stabilization of incinerator ash and chemical precipi-

tation followed by sludge filtration of scrubber water; solvent extraction
F024 BGD-2                            3-1
1114-01.nrj.1

-------
followed by incineration or recycle of the extract and stabilization and/or

chemical precipitation followed by sludge filtration of the raffinate; and

total recycle or reuse.  These treatment technologies were identified based on

current literature sources, field testing, and current waste treatment prac-

tices.



          Incineration is a destruction technology in which energy, in the

form of heat, is transferred to the waste to destabilize chemical bonds and

eventually destroy hazardous constituents.  In general, two residuals are

generated by incineration processes:  ash and scrubber water.  Incinerator ash

may require stabilization to reduce the leachability of metals in the waste.

Scrubber water may require treatment using chemical precipitation followed by

sludge filtration to remove dissolved metals from the wastewater.



          Solvent extraction is a separation technology in which organics are

removed from the waste due to greater constituent solubility in the solvent

phase than in the waste phase.  This technology results in the formation of

two treatment residuals:  the treated waste residual and the extract.  The

treated waste residual may be further treated by stabilization and/or chemical

precipitation followed by sludge filtration.  The extract may be recycled or

treated further by incineration.



          Total recycle or reuse processes are processes that do not generate

a residual.   The applicability of these processes is dependent on the type of
F024 BGD-2                            3-2
1114-01.nrj.2

-------
F024 generated.  For example, heavy ends or distillation bottoms are recycled

in other production processes at some facilities; however, reactor cleanout

wastes are generally not suitable for recycle or reuse.



          The Agency recognizes that wastewater forms of F024 may also be

generated from the treatment of this waste.  Since wastewater forms of F024

may contain hazardous organic constituents at treatable-levels, applicable

technologies include those that destroy or reduce the total amount of various

organic compounds in the waste.  Therefore, the Agency has identified the

following treatment technologies as potentially applicable for treatment of

wastewater forms of F024 with treatable organic constituent concentrations:

biological treatment and carbon adsorption.



3.2       Demonstrated Treatment Technologies



          The demonstrated technologies that the Agency has identified for

treatment of F024 nonwastewater other than ash are total recycle or reuse,

stabilization, and incineration (including rotary kiln, liquid injection, and

fluidized bed incineration).  The Agency is not aware of any facilities that

treat, on a full-scale operational basis, F024 or wastes judged to be similar

using solvent extraction; therefore, EPA believes that solvent extraction is

not currently demonstrated for F024.



          The Agency has identified chemical precipitation followed by sludge

filtration as demonstrated for treatment of metals in F024 wastewater.

Although the Agency is not aware of any facilities that treat wastewater forms

F024 BGD-2                            3-3
1114-01.nrj.3

-------
of F024, chemical precipitation followed by sludge filtration is demonstrated

for wastewaters judged to be similar to scrubber water generated from the

incineration of F024.   Therefore, this technology is also demonstrated for

F024 wastewater.



          Total Recycle or Reuse.  EPA is aware of four plants that recycle or

reuse F024 on a full-scale basis in manufacturing processes.  Specific infor-

mation regarding the recycle or reuse of these wastes has been claimed confi-

dential business information by the facilities.



          Incineration.  Incineration provides for destruction of the organics

in the waste.  Incineration generally results in the formation of two treat-

ment residuals:  ash and scrubber water.  Rotary kiln incineration is demon-

strated on a full-scale operational basis for treatment of F024 at five

facilities.  Liquid injection incineration is demonstrated on a full-scale

operational basis for treatment of F024 at four facilities.  In addition,

fluidized bed incineration is demonstrated on a full-scale basis for treatment

of F024 at one facility.



          The treatment process that the Agency tested was a rotary kiln

incinerator with a secondary combustor and combustion gas scrubber system.



          Stabilization.  Stabilization reduces the leachability of metals in

the waste.  This technology results in the formation of a chemically- or

physically-stabilized treatment residual.  The Agency evaluated the
F024 BGD-2                            3-4
1114-01.nrj.4

-------
performance of a pilot-scale stabilization process on incinerator ash similar

to rotary kiln incinerator ash from treatment of F024 as shown in Section 4.0

of this document.



          Chemical Precipitation followed by Sludge Filtration.  Chemical

precipitation removes dissolved metals from the wastewater by forming an

insoluble metal precipitate sludge.  Sludge filtration separates the precipi-

tated sludge from the wastewater.  The Agency tested chemical precipitation

followed by sludge filtration for a waste mixture similar to F024 at one

facility, as shown in Section 4.0 of this document.

4.0       TREATMENT PERFORMANCE DATA BASE



          This section presents the data available to EPA on the performance

of demonstrated technologies in treating the listed waste F024.   These data

are used elsewhere in this document for determining which technologies repre-

sent proposed BDAT (Section 5.0), for selecting constituents being proposed

for regulation (Section 6.0), and for developing proposed treatment standards

(Section 7.0).  In addition to using full-scale treatment performance data,

eligible data may include that developed at research facilities or obtained

at less than full-scale operations, provided that the technology is

demonstrated in full-scale operation for a similar waste or wastes as

described in Section 3.0.



          Treatment performance data, to the extent that they are available to

EPA, include the concentrations for a given constituent in the untreated and

treated waste, values of operating parameters that were measured at the time

the waste was being treated, values of relevant design parameters for the

treatment technology, and data on waste characteristics that affect perfor-

mance of the treatment technology.



          Where data are not available on the treatment of the specific waste

of concern,  the Agency may elect to transfer performance data on the treatment

of a similar waste or wastes, using a demonstrated technology.  To transfer

data from another waste treatability group, EPA must find that the waste

covered by this background document is no more difficult to treat (based on
F024 BD                               4-1
1104-01.nrj.1

-------
the waste characteristics that affect performance of the demonstrated

treatment technology) than the treated wastes from which treatment performance

data are being transferred.



          Treatment performance data were not available for BDAT List metals

in F024 nonwastewater and wastewater.  Treatment performance data from stabi-

lization of ash from the incineration of K048 and K051 were transferred to

F024 nonwastewater.  Treatment performance data from lime and sulfide

precipitation followed by vacuum filtration of K062 mixed with metal-bearing

characteristic wastes were transferred to F024 wastewater.



          Table 4-1 presents the BDAT List constituents that were detected in

the untreated waste streams during the rotary kiln incineration of F024 from

plants A, B, C, and D, as well as a biological sludge and an organic liquid

that were burned with the F024.  Table 4-2 presents the BDAT List constituents

detected in the kiln ash residual and Table 4-3 presents the BDAT List con-

stituents detected in the scrubber water residual.  Table 4-4 presents design

and operating data for the rotary kiln and the secondary combustor.  Table 4-5

presents treatment performance data and operating data for stabilization of

ash from fluidized bed incineration of K048 and K051.  Table 4-6 presents

treatment performance data for lime and sulfide precipitation followed by

vacuum filtration of K062 mixed with other metal-bearing characteristic

wastes.  Testing procedures used to analyze the BDAT List constituents are

identified in the analytical quality assurance/quality control discussion in

Appendix A of this background document.

         The kiln  rotational speed  was decreased during the run to allow for a longer residence time of  the kiln solids
         and to  lower  the temperature of the waste heat boiler.

5.0       IDENTIFICATION OF BEST DEMONSTRATED AND AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY  (BOAT)



          This section presents the Agency's rationale behind the proposed

determination of the best demonstrated and available technology  (BOAT)  for

F024.  BOAT for F024 has been determined to be rotary kiln incineration

followed by stabilization of the incinerator ash and chemical precipitation

followed by filtration of the scrubber water.  However, the Agency believes

that well-designed and well-operated liquid injection and fluidized bed

incineration systems can meet the BOAT treatment standards established  for

F024.



          To determine BDAT, the Agency examines all available treatment

performance data on technologies that are identified as demonstrated to

determine whether one or more of the technologies performs significantly

better than the others.  All treatment performance data used for determination

of the best technology must first be corrected for accuracy, as  discussed in

EPA's Methodology for Developing BDAT Treatment Standards.  (The data are

corrected for accuracy in order to account for the ability of an analytical

technique to recover a particular constituent from the waste in  a particular

test.)  The "best" performing treatment technology is evaluated  to determine

whether the resulting treatment is substantial, as determined by the analysis

of variance (ANOVA) test.  (The ANOVA test is discussed in EPA's Methodology

for Developing BDAT Treatment Standards.)  The technology that performs "best"

must be specified for all streams associated with the management of the listed

waste.
F024 BD                               5-1
1101-02.-nrj.1     -          :

-------
          The technology that is found to perform best on a particular waste

is then evaluated to determine whether it is "available."  To be available,

the technology must (1) be commercially available and (2) provide "substan-

tial" treatment of the waste, as determined through evaluation of treatment

performance data corrected for accuracy.  In determining whether treatment is

substantial, EPA may consider data on a treatment technology's performance on

a waste similar to the waste in question, provided that the similar waste  is

at least as difficult to treat.  If it is determined that the best technology

is not available, then the next best technology is evaluated, and so on.



5.1       Review of Performance Data



          The available treatment performance data presented in Section 4.0

were reviewed and assessed to determine whether they represent operation of a

well-designed and well-operated system, whether sufficient quality assur-

ance/quality control measures were employed to ensure the accuracy of the

data, and whether the appropriate measures of performance were used to assess

the performance of the treatment technology.



          The treatment performance data and the design and operating data

collected during the test on the rotary kiln incineration of F024 at plant X,

stabilization of K048 and K051 incinerator ash at plant Y, and lime and

sulfide precipitation followed by vacuum filtration of K062 mixed with other

metal-bearing characteristic wastes at plant Z were reviewed for the points

described above.  The appropriate measures of performance (total constituent

1101-02.nrj.2

-------
concentration for incineration and lime and sulfide precipitation followed by

vacuum filtration, and TCLP for stabilization) were used to assess the

treatment systems.  Additionally, the Agency had no reason to believe that the

treatment systems were not well-designed and well-operated or that

insufficient analytical quality assurance/quality control measures were

employed.  (Design and operating data and quality assurance/quality control

information are presented in References 32, 21, and 33 for samples collected

at plants X, Y, and Z, respectively.)  Therefore, these data were considered

in the determination of BOAT for F024.



          F024 treatment performance data are not available for liquid injec-

tion and fluidized bed incineration.  Therefore, in the absence of treatment

performance data for this waste, liquid injection and fluidized bed incinera-

tion were not selected as BDAT for F024.  However, the Agency believes that

well-designed and well-operated liquid injection and fluidized bed incinera-

tion systems can meet the BDAT treatment standards established for F024.



5.2       Accuracy Correction of Treatment Performance Data



          As part of the review of treatment performance data for rotary kiln

incineration, the data were adjusted to take into account any analytical

interferences associated with the chemical make-up of the samples.  Generally,

performance data were corrected for accuracy as follows:  (1) a matrix spike

recovery was determined, as explained below, for each BDAT List constituent

detected in the untreated or treated waste; (2) an accuracy correction factor
F024 BD                               5-3
1101-02.nrj.3

-------
was determined for each of the above constituents by dividing 100 by the

matrix spike recovery (expressed as a percentage) for that constituent; and

(3) the reported concentration of each BDAT List constituent detected in the

untreated or treated waste was corrected by multiplying the concentration by

the corresponding accuracy correction factor.



          Matrix spike recoveries are developed by analyzing a sample of a

treated waste for a constituent and then re-analyzing the sample after the

addition of a known amount of the same constituent (i.e., spike) to the

sample.  The matrix spike recovery represents the total amount of constituent

recovered after spiking minus the initial concentration of the constituent in

the sample, and the result divided by the known amount of constituent added.



5.2.1     Nonwastewater



          Matrix spike recoveries used in adjustment of the treatment perfor-

mance-data for the kiln ash residue are presented in Table A-8 of Appendix A

of this background document.  Duplicate matrix spikes were performed for some

BDAT List constituents in kiln ash.  If duplicate matrix spikes were performed

for a constituent, the matrix spike recovery used for that constituent was the

lower of the two values from the first matrix spike and the duplicate spike.



          Where a matrix spike was not performed for a constituent, the matrix

spike recovery for the constituent was derived from the average matrix spike

recoveries of the appropriate group of constituents (for example, volatile
F024 BD                               5-4
1101-02.nrj.4

-------
organics) for which recovery data were available.  In these cases, the matrix

spike recoveries for all volatile organics, semivolatile organics, or dioxins/

furans from the first matrix spike were averaged.  Similarly, an average

matrix spike recovery was calculated for the duplicate matrix spike recover-

ies.  The lower of the two average matrix spike recoveries of the volatile,

semivolatile, or dioxin/furan group was used for any volatile, semivolatile,

or dioxin/furan constituent for which no matrix spike was performed.



          The accuracy correction factors for nonwastewater (rotary kiln ash)

data calculated using this method are presented in Table A-10 of Appendix A of

this document.  The corrected concentrations for each BOAT List constituent in

the rotary kiln ash, that was detected in either the untreated F02il or rotary

kiln ash, are presented in Table 5-1.  Note that constituent concentrations in

the kiln ash residue were not adjusted to values below the detection limit for

that constituent.  If accuracy correction resulted in a value less than the

detection limit, the accuracy-corrected concentration was set equal to the

detection limit.



5.2.2     Wastewater



          Matrix spike recoveries used to calculate accuracy correction

factors for adjustment of the treatment performance data are presented in

Table A-9 of Appendix A.  As shown in Table A-9, if duplicate matrix spikes

were performed for a constituent, the matrix spike recovery used for that

constituent was the lower of the two values from the first matrix spike and

the duplicate spike.

          Where a matrix spike was not performed for a constituent, the matrix

spike recovery for the constituent was derived from the average matrix spike

recoveries of the appropriate group of constituents (for example, volatile

organics) for which recovery data were available.  In these cases, the matrix

spike recoveries for all volatile organics, semivolatile organics, or

dioxins/furans from the first matrix spike were averaged.  Similarly, an

average matrix spike recovery was calculated for the duplicate matrix spike

recoveries.  The lower of the two average matrix spike recoveries of the

volatile, semivolatile, or dioxin/furan group was used for any volatile,

semivolatile, or dioxin/furan constituent for which no matrix spike was

performed.



          The accuracy correction factors for wastewater (scrubber water) data

calculated using this method are presented in Table A-10 of Appendix A of this

document.  The corrected concentration for each BDAT List constituent in the

scrubber water, that was detected in either the untreated F024 or scrubber

water, are presented in Table 5-2.  Note that constituent concentrations'in

the scrubber water residual were not adjusted to values below the detection

limit for that constituent.  If accuracy correction resulted in a value less

than the detection limit, the accuracy-corrected value was set equal to the

detection limit.



5.3       Statistical Comparison of Treatment Performance Data



          In cases where the Agency has treatment performance data from more

than one technology, EPA uses the statistical method known as analysis of

variance, ANOVA (discussed in EPA's Methodology for Developing BOAT Treatment

Standards),  to determine if one technology performs significantly better than

the rest.  For F024, the Agency has treatment performance data for only one

treatment system and, therefore, an ANOVA comparison is not appropriate.



5.4       Available Treatment Technologies



          The demonstrated technologies for treatment of F024, rotary kiln

incineration, stabilization, and chemical precipitation followed by sludge

filtration,  are considered to be commercially available.  Furthermore,  the

Agency has determined that these technologies will provide substantial  treat-

ment of F024.  Therefore, these technologies are available for treatment of

F024.



          Methods of total recycle or reuse are not considered to be commer-

cially available for F024 as they are proprietary or patented processes and

cannot be purchased or licensed from the proprietor.  In addition, a process

used successfully by one facility may not work for another, due to the  wide

variations in the waste.  Therefore, total recycle or reuse cannot be further

considered for BOAT purposes, as it is not an available treatment technology.



5.5       Proposed BOAT for F024



          As discussed above, rotary kiln incineration followed by stabiliza-

tion of the  incinerator ash and chemical precipitation followed by filtration
F024 BD                               5-11

-------
of the scrubber water.have been determined to be demonstrated and available.

Since the Agency does not have treatment performance data for any other

technologies treating F024 or similar wastes, this treatment train  is  "best".

Therefore, the best demonstrated and available technology (BDAT) for F024 has

been determined to be rotary kiln incineration followed by stabilization of

the incinerator ash and chemical precipitation followed by filtration  of the

scrubber water.  However, the Agency believes that well-designed and

well-operated liquid injection and fluidized bed incineration systems  can meet

the BDAT treatment standards established for organic constituents in F024.

6.0       SELECTION OF REGULATED CONSTITUENTS



          The Agency has developed a list of hazardous constituents (the BOAT

Constituent List, presented in EPA's Methodology for Developing BDAT Treatment

Standards) from which the constituents to be regulated are selected.  EPA may

revise this list as additional data and information become available.  The

list is divided into the following categories:  volatile organics, semivola-

tile organics, metals, inorganics other than metals, organochlorine pesti-

cides, phenoxyacetic acid herbicides, organophosphorus insecticides, PCBs, and

dioxins and furans.  This section presents the rationale for the selection of

constituents being proposed for regulation from the BDAT List of constituents

in wastewater and nonwastewater forms of F024.



          Generally, constituents selected for proposed regulation must

satisfy the following criteria:


          1)   They must be on the BDAT List of regulated constituents.
               (Presence on the BDAT List implies the existence of approved
               methods for analyzing the constituent in treated waste matri-
               ces. )

          2)   They must be present in, or be suspected of being present in,
               the untreated waste.  For example, in some cases, analytical
               difficulties (such as masking) may prevent a constituent from
               being identified in the untreated waste, but its identification
               in a treatment residual may lead the Agency to conclude, that it
               is present in the untreated waste.

          3)   Where treatment performance data are transferred, the constitu-
               ents selected for proposed regulation must be easier to treat
               than the constituent(s) from which performance data are trans-
               ferred.  Waste characteristics affecting the performance
               (WCAPs) of treatment vary according to the technology of
               concern.  For instance, for incineration, the WCAPs include
               bond dissociation energy, thermal conductivity, and boiling
               point.

     cn.nr i. 1

-------
          From a group of constituents that are eligible for regulation

because they meet the above criteria, EPA may select a subset of constituents

that represents the broader group.  For example, from a group of constituents

that react similarly to treatment, the Agency might select only those that are

the most difficult to treat as constituents to regulate, to facilitate

implementation of the compliance and enforcement program.



          The Agency initially considered all constituents on the BDAT List

for proposed regulation.  Summarized in Table 6-1, at the end of this section,

are available F024 characterization data for all BDAT List constituents.  For

constituents known to be present in the untreated F024, the range of detected

concentrations is shown in the table.  Constituents that were not detected in

the untreated waste but were detected in the treated waste are identified by

"*."  Constituents for which the Agency does not have analytical

characterization data are identified by "NA" (not analyzed).



          The Agency is not proposing to regulate all of the BDAT List

constituents considered for regulation.  A BDAT List constituent was deleted

from further consideration for proposed regulation if (1) the constituent was

not detected in the untreated and/or treated wastes, (2) the constituent was

not analyzed for in the untreated waste, or (3) other reasons, as discussed in

Section 6.1.  Constituents that were selected for proposed regulation are

discussed in Section 6.2.

6.1       BDAT List Constituents Deleted from Consideration for Regulation



          A BDAT List constituent that was detected  in untreated F024 was

deleted from consideration for regulation if (1) available treatment perfor-

mance data for the constituent did not show effective treatment by BDAT,  (2)

the constituent was not present at treatable concentrations in the waste, or

(3) other reasons, as described below.  BDAT List constituents that remained,

following the deletions described in this subsection, were further considered

for regulation.  These constituents are listed  in Table  6-2 for nonwastewater

and Table 6-3 for wastewater.  All tables are included at the end of this

section.



          Sulfide was not further considered for regulation in F024 wastewater

and nonwastewater because the technology determined  to be BDAT for F024

(rotary kiln incineration followed by stabilization  of nonwastewater and

chemical precipitation followed by filtration of wastewater) does not provide

.effective treatment for this BDAT List constituent.  Moreover, the Agency is

unaware of any demonstrated technology for treatment of  sulfide in F024 or

similar wastes.



          Similarly, barium, cadmium, lead, mercury, and silver were deleted

from further consideration for regulation in F024 nonwastewater because the

Agency's data on BDAT for stabilization of nonwastewater (fluidized bed

incinerator ash) did not show effective treatment for these BDAT List constit-

uents.
F024 BCD                    .          6-3
1031-03.nrj.3

-------
          In addition, barium was deleted from further consideration for

regulation in wastewater because it is not effectively treated by BDAT for

wastewater (chemical precipitation followed by filtration).



          Arsenic was deleted from further consideration for regulation in

nonwastewater because it was not present in the untreated waste at treatable

concentrations.



          Similarly, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(ghi)-

perylene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, chrysene, and indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene were

deleted from further consideration for regulation in F024 because they were

not present in the untreated waste at treatable concentrations.



          Copper, vanadium, and zinc were considered for regulation in F024

wastewater and nonwastewater but were not selected as proposed regulated

constituents.  Although the metal compounds, copper cyanide, vanadium pentox-

ide, and zinc cyanide are listed on Appendix VIII of 40 CFR Part 261, the

individual metals, copper, vanadium, and zinc, are not listed.  In this Second

Thirds rulemaking, the Agency is only proposing to regulate copper, vanadium,

and/or zinc when they cannot be controlled by regulation of other metal

constituents.  For F024, copper, vanadium, and zinc are believed to be

controlled by the regulation of total chromium and nickel and are therefore

not being proposed for regulation.

6.2       BOAT List Constituents Selected for Regulation



          The selection of constituents proposed for regulation in nonwaste-

water and wastewater is discussed in Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, respectively.



6.2.1     Nonwastewater



          Constituents proposed for regulation in F024 nonwastewater were

selected from those BDAT List constituents detected in the untreated waste,

unless they were deleted from consideration as discussed in Section 6.1.



          Table 6-4 presents each constituent selected for proposed regulation

in F024 after consideration of (1) the constituent concentration in the

untreated waste, (2) whether the constituent is adequately controlled by

regulation of another constituent, and (3) the relative difficulty associated'

with achieving effective treatment of the constituent by BDAT for nonwaste-

water (rotary kiln incineration followed by stabilization).



          The Agency's determination of adequate control for organic constitu-

ents was based on an evaluation of the characteristics of the constituents

that would affect the performance of rotary kiln incineration relative to the

kiln ash residual, specifically, the boiling points of the constituents.  In

general, a constituent is believed to be controlled by regulation of another

constituent that has a higher boiling point.  Boiling points for the BDAT List
F024 BCD                              6-5
1031-03.nrj.5

-------
organic constituents further considered for regulation, as shown in Table 6-2,

are listed in Appendix C.



          The BDAT List organic constituents selected for proposed regulation,

based on the above discussion, are 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene, 3-chloropropene,

1,1-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloropropane, trans-

1,3-dichloropropene, cis-1,3-dichloropropene, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,

di-n-octyl phthalate, and hexachloroethane.



          The constituents controlled by regulating other constituents are

discussed below.



          The remaining 35 BDAT List organic constituents that were further

considered for proposed regulation in F024 nonwastewater due to their presence

in the untreated waste (see Table 6-2) are not being proposed for regulation.

These 35 constituents were found at lower concentrations in the untreated

waste than the organic constituents selected for proposed regulation.  Hence,

they were deleted from consideration for proposed regulation because they are

believed to be adequately controlled by incineration of other organic

constituents that have been selected for proposed regulation in F024.

Deletion of constituents from consideration for proposed regulation in F024

was based on a comparison of the boiling points of those remaining 35 organic

constituents with the boiling points of those constituents selected for

proposed regulation.  The control of constituents deleted from consideration

for proposed regulation by constituents selected for proposed regulation is

presented in Table 6-5.

-------
          Cyanide was detected in untreated F024 but was not selected for

proposed regulation because this constituent was found at low concentrations

in the untreated waste and is believed to be adequately controlled by treat-

ment standards proposed for the BDAT List organic constituents.



          Two metals, total chromium and nickel, were selected for proposed

regulation in F024 nonwastewater.



          Five dioxins and furans, hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, hexachlorodi-

benzofurans, pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, pentachlorodibenzofurans, and

tetrachlorodibenzofurans, were selected for proposed regulation in F024

nonwastewater based on the difficulty in treating these constituents,

reflected by their high boiling points along with their inherent toxicity.



          Dichlorodifluoromethane, diethyl phthalate, antimony, and beryllium

were not detected in untreated F02M but were detected in the rotary kiln ash

residual.  These constituents were not selected for proposed regulation in

F024 nonwastewater.  Dichlorodifluoromethane and diethyl phthalate are not

being proposed for regulation because they were detected in the laboratory

blank at 0.27 ppm and 0.51 ppm, respectively, and are believed to be labora-

tory contaminants.  The Agency believes antimony and beryllium concentrations

detected in the kiln ash are attributable to their presence in the sludge and

organic liquid wastes incinerated with F024.  These constituents were not

typically found in untreated F024 (see Table 2-3).  Therefore, these

constituents were not selected for proposed regulation in F024 nonwastewater.

-------
6.2.2     Wastewater



          Constituents proposed for regulation in F024 wastewater were chosen

using the same constituent selection method used for nonwastewater; that is,

constituents proposed for regulation in wastewater were selected from the BDAT

List constituents that were detected in the untreated waste, unless they were

deleted from consideration as discussed in Section 6.1.



          Table 6-6 presents each constituent selected for proposed regulation

in F024 after consideration of (1) the constituent concentration in the

untreated waste, (2) whether the constituent is adequately controlled by

regulation of another constituent, and (3) the relative difficulty associated

with achieving effective treatment of the constituent by BDAT for wastewater

(rotary kiln incineration followed by chemical precipitation and filtration).



          The Agency's determination of adequate control for organic constitu-

ents was based on an evaluation of the characteristics of the constituents

that would affect performance of incineration relative to the scrubber water

residual, specifically, the estimated bond dissociation energies for the

constituents.  In general, a constituent is believed to be controlled by

regulation of another constituent that has a higher bond dissociation energy.

Estimated bond dissociation energies for the BDAT List organic constituents

further considered for regulation, as shown in Table 6-3, are listed in

Appendix C.

-------
          The BOAT List organic constituents selected for proposed regulation

based on the above discussion are 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene, 3-chloropropene,

1,1-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloropropane, trans-

1,3-dichloropropene, cis-1,3-dichloropropene,  bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,

di-n-octyl phthalate,  and hexachloroethane.



          The constituents controlled by regulating other constituents are

discussed below.



          The remaining 38 BOAT List organic constituents that were further

considered for proposed regulation in F024 wastewater due to their presence in

the untreated waste (see Table 6-3) are not being proposed for regulation.

These 38 constituents were found at lower concentrations in the untreated

waste than the organic constituents selected for proposed regulation and were

deleted from consideration for proposed regulation because they are believed

to be adequately controlled by incineration of the organic constituents

proposed for regulation in F024.  Deletion of constituents from consideration

for proposed regulation in F024 was based on a comparison of the bond

dissociation energies (BDEs) of those remaining .38 organic constituents with

the BDEs of those constituents selected for proposed regulation.  The control

of constituents deleted from consideration for proposed regulation by

constituents selected for proposed regulation is presented in Table 6-7.



          Cyanide was detected in untreated F024 but was not selected for

proposed regulation because this constituent was found at low concentrations

in the untreated waste and is believed to be adequately controlled by treat-

ment standards proposed for the BOAT List organic constituents.



          Two metals, total chromium and nickel, were selected for proposed

regulation in F024 wastewater.  All other BDAT List metal constituents ini-

tially considered for regulation were not selected because these constituents

were found at low concentrations in the untreated waste and are believed to be

adequately controlled by treatment standards proposed for total chromium and

nickel.  Control of metal constituents is provided by the use of chemical

precipitation followed by sludge filtration.  By removing the metals present

at the highest concentrations in the untreated waste, adequate treatment will

be provided for other metals present at lower treatable concentrations.



          Five dioxins and furans, hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, hexachlorodi-

benzofurans,  pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, pentachlorodibenzofurans, and

tetrachlorodibenzofurans, were selected for proposed regulation in F024

wastewater based on the detected presence of these BDAT List constituents in

the scrubber water residual, along with their inherent toxicity.



          Bromomethane, chloroethane, chloromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane,

diethyl phthalate, antimony, and selenium were not detected in untreated F02M

but were detected in the scrubber water residual from rotary kiln

incineration.  These constituents were not selected for proposed regulation in

F024 wastewater.  Dichlorodifluoromethane is not being proposed for regulation

because it was detected in the laboratory blank at 0.23 ppra and is believed
F024 BCD                              6-10

-------
to be a laboratory contaminant.  Diethyl phthalate is not being proposed for

regulation because it was detected in only one scrubber water sample at a low

concentration (0.057 ppm).   In addition, diethyl phthalate, (BDE 3,145

kcal/mole) is controlled by regulation of bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (BDE

6,464 kcal/mole) and di-n-octyl phthalate (BDE 6,565 kcal/mole).  The Agency

believes the concentrations of the five remaining constituents detected in the

scrubber water, bromomethane, chloroethane,  chloromethane, antimony, and

selenium,  are attributable to their presence in the sludge and organic liquid

wastes incinerated with F024.  These constituents were not typically found in

F024 (see Table 2-3).  Therefore, these constituents were not selected for

proposed regulation in F024 wastewater.

7.0       DEVELOPMENT.OF BOAT TREATMENT STANDARDS



          The Agency bases treatment standards for constituents on the per-

formance of well-designed and well-operated BOAT treatment systems.  These

standards must account for analytical limitations in available treatment

performance data and the data must be adjusted for variabilities related to

treatment, sampling, and analytical techniques and procedures.



          BOAT treatment standards are determined for each constituent by

multiplying the arithmetic mean of accuracy-adjusted constituent concentra-

tions detected in treated waste by a "variability factor" specific to each

constituent in a treatment performance data set.  Accuracy adjustment of

treatment performance data was discussed in Section 5.0 in relation to

defining "substantial treatment."  Variability factors correct for normal

variations in the performance of a particular technology over time and are

designed to reflect the 99th percentile level of performance that the

technology achieves in commercial operation.  (For more information on the

principles of calculating variability factors, see EPA's Methodology for

Developing BDAT Treatment Standards.)



          Where EPA has identified BDAT for a particular waste, but because of

data limitations or for some other compelling reason cannot define specific

concentration-based treatment standards for that waste, the Agency can require

the use of that treatment technology as a treatment standard.  Similarly,

where there are no known generators of a waste,  or where EPA believes that the
F024 BGD-1                            7-1
1111-01.ver.1

-------
waste can be totally recycled or reused as a raw material, the Agency may

specify a "no land disposal" standard, which effectively amounts to establish-

ing a treatment performance standard at zero for all waste constituents.



          In Section 5.0 of this document, the best demonstrated and available

technology for treatment of F024 was chosen based on available treatment

performance data.  In Section 6.0, the constituents proposed for regulation

were selected in order to ensure effective treatment of the waste.  The

purpose of Section 7.0 is to calculate proposed treatment standards for each

of these constituents using the available treatment performance data from the

BDAT treatment technologies.  Included in this section is a step-by-step

discussion of the calculation of proposed treatment standards for the non-

wastewater and wastewater forms of F024.



          Rotary kiln incineration followed by stabilization of incinerator

ash and chemical precipitation followed by filtration of scrubber water was

determined to be BDAT for F024 (see Section 5.0).  Rotary kiln incineration

generally results in the generation of two treatment residuals:  ash (a

nonwastewater form of F024) and combustion gas scrubber water (a wastewater

form of F024).  The best measure of performance for a destruction technology,

such as rotary kiln incineration, is the total amount of constituent remaining

after treatment.  Therefore, proposed BDAT treatment standards for organic

constituents were calculated based on total constituent concentration data.

Proposed BDAT treatment standards for metal constituents were based on treat-

ment performance data transferred from K048 and K051 for nonwastewater

residuals and K062 mixed with other metal-bearing characteristic wastes for

wastewater residuals.  Proposed BOAT treatment standards for dioxin and furan

constituents are set at the analytical limit of detection that can be

routinely achieved for these constituents, consistent with the dioxins rule

promulgated by the Agency on November 8,  1986 (51 Federal Register, 40572,

40638).



7.1       Calculation of Treatment Standards for Nonwastewater Forms of F024



          BOAT List Organics



          The proposed treatment standards for nonwastewater forms of F024

were calculated using treatment performance data from rotary kiln incineration

of F024.  Table 7-1 presents the concentrations of organic constituents in the

treatment residual (ash) resulting from rotary kiln incineration of F024.

Concentrations are presented for constituents that were used to develop

proposed treatment standards for constituents in F024 nonwastewater, as

discussed further in this subsection.  The concentration data presented in

Table 7-1 have been corrected for accuracy to account for analytical recovery

as described in Section 5.0.



          The proposed nonwastewater treatment standards were calculated for

organic constituents being proposed for regulation in F024 as shown in Table

7-2.  The following three steps were used to calculate the proposed treatment

standards:

          (1)  The arithmetic average of the accuracy-corrected concentrations
               for each regulated constituent in the untreated waste was
               calculated using the data presented in Table 7-1;

          (2)  Using these same data, a variability factor (discussed in EPA's
               Methodology for Developing BOAT Treatment Standards) was
               calculated that represents the variability inherent in the
               performance of the treatment system, collection of treated
               samples, and analysis of samples.  Where concentrations in the
               treated waste were reported as less than or equal to the
               detection limit for all the data points in the data set,
               variability is still expected since the actual concentrations
               could range from 0 to the detection limit.  In these cases, the
               Agency assumed a lognormal distribution of data points between
               the detection limit and a value 1/10 of the detection limit and
               calculated a variability factor of 2.8; and

          (3)  The treatment standard for each constituent being proposed for
               regulation was calculated by multiplying the arithmetic average
               of the accuracy-corrected concentrations (from (1) above) by
               the variability factor (from (2) above).


          As explained in Section 6.0, constituents being proposed for regula-

tion were selected based on all available F024 characterization data.  How-

ever, performance data were not available from treatment of F024 for some

organic constituents that were proposed for regulation because not all

constituents proposed for regulation were detected in the F024 that was

treated by rotary kiln incineration and sampled by EPA.  Where treatment

performance data were not available for an organic constituent proposed for

regulation, treatment performance data were transferred to the organic con-

stituent from another organic constituent that was detected in the untreated

F024 sampled by EPA, based on the boiling points of the constituents.

(Boiling point is a waste characteristic that affects the performance of

rotary kiln incineration, and is discussed in EPA's Treatment Technology

Background Document.  Appendix C of this document presents information on

this waste characteristic.  The constituent with the same or the closest

higher boiling point for which the Agency had treatment performance data from

rotary kiln incineration of F024 was selected for transfer of treatment

performance data to the constituent for which there was no treatment

performance data.  Cases where such a transfer of data occurred are summarized

below and appear in Table 7-2, which shows the calculations of the proposed

treatment standards for F024.



          Five of the constituents listed below, 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene,

3-chloropropene, 1,2-dichloropropane, trans-1,3-dichloropropene, and cis-1,3-

dichloropropene, were detected in a liquid form of untreated F024.  Liquid

wastes were incinerated in a secondary combustor, and as such, did not

contribute to a kiln ash residual.  Thus, treatment standards for these

constituents had to be calculated based on treatment performance data trans-

ferred from constituents that were detected in a solid form of untreated F024,

since solid wastes were incinerated in the rotary kiln and contributed to the

kiln ash residual.  These five constituents are being proposed for regulation

in F024 nonwastewater, despite only being found in liquid forms of untreated

F024, because of the wide variation in the types of F024 generated by

industry.  It is likely that each of these constituents is present in a solid

form of F024 for which the Agency does not have data.  Therefore, establishing

nonwastewater treatment performance standards for these constituents ensures

that they will be controlled for all types of F024 generated.



          10.   2-Chloro-1,3-butadiene.  The proposed treatment standard for

2-chloro-1,3-butadiene (bp 59.4°C) is based on data transferred from treatment

          22.  1,1-Dichloroethane.   1,1-Dichloroethane was not found in the

F024 that was treated by rotary kiln incineration and sampled by  EPA.  The

data transferred from treatment of 1,2-dichloroethane (bp 83-84°C).  The

Agency expects that 1,1-dichloroethane can be treated to concentrations as low

1,2-dichloropropane (bp 96.4°C) is based on data transferred from treatment of

          104.  Di-n-octyl phthalate.  Di-n-octyl phthalate was not found in

the F024 that was treated by rotary kiln incineration and sampled by EPA.  The

proposed treatment standard for di-n-octyl phthalate (bp 385°C) is based on

          The Agency has no treatment performance data for metals in F024

nonwastewater.  Proposed treatment standards for metal constituents in F024

were based on treatment performance data transferred from the stabilization of

K048 and K051 incinerator ash.   The Agency believes that K048 and K051 non-

wastewater residuals are sufficiently similar to F024 nonwastewater residuals

such that treatment performance data can be transferred.  Treatment perfor-

mance data for each metal constituent being proposed for regulation in F024

nonwastewater were transferred from K048 and K051 to F024.



          Included in Table 7-1 are the concentrations of metal constituents

in the stabilized kiln ash residual resulting from rotary kiln incineration of

K048 and K051.  These concentration data have been corrected for accuracy to

account for analytical recovery, as described in Section 5.0.



          The proposed nonwastewater treatment standards were calculated for

metal constituents being proposed for regulation in F024 as shown in Table

7-2.  These calculations are consistent with the methodology previously

described in this section for BDAT List organic constituents.



          The Agency is currently performing BDAT testing using stabilization

to treat F024 incinerator ash.  Depending on the results of this testing and

the levels of treatment performance achieved, the Agency may establish a

treatment standard for lead in F024 nonwastewater and may modify the

nonwastewater standards for chromium and nickel.



          BDAT List Dioxins and Furans



          The treatment standard being proposed for dioxins and furans in F024

nonwastewater is 1 ppb.  This standard represents the analytical limit of

detection that can be routinely achieved by laboratories in the United States,

consistent with the dioxins rule promulgated on November 8, 1986 (51 Federal

Register, 40572, 40638).

          BOAT List Organics



          The proposed treatment standards for wastewater forms of F024 were

calculated using treatment performance data from rotary kiln incineration of

F024.  Table 7-3 presents the concentrations of organic constituents in the

treatment residual (scrubber water) resulting from rotary kiln incineration of

F024.  Concentrations are presented for constituents that were used to develop

proposed treatment standards for constituents in F024 wastewater, as discussed

further in this subsection.  The concentration data presented in Table 7-3

have been corrected for accuracy to account for analytical recovery as

described in Section 5.0.



          The proposed wastewater treatment standards were calculated for

organic constituents being proposed for regulation in F024 as shown in Table

7-4.  The following three steps were used to calculate the proposed treatment

standards:
          (1)  The arithmetic average of the accuracy-corrected concentrations
               for each regulated constituent in the untreated waste was
               calculated using the data presented in Table 7-3;

          (2)  Using these same data, a variability factor (discussed in
               Appendix A of this document) was calculated that represents the
               variability inherent in the performance of the treatment
               system, collection of treated samples, and analysis of samples.
               Where concentrations in the treated waste were reported as less
               than or equal to the detection limit for all the data points in
               the data set, variability is still expected since the actual
               concentrations could range from 0 to the detection limit. ' In
               these cases, the Agency assumed a lognormal distribution of

                data points  between the detection limit and a value 1/10 of the

           (3)   The treatment standard for each constituent being proposed for
                regulation was calculated by multiplying the arithmetic average
                of the accuracy-corrected concentrations (from (1) above) by
                the variability factor (from (2) above).


           As  discussed in Section 6.0, constituents being proposed for regula-

 tion were selected based on all available F024 characterization data.  How-

 ever,  performance data were not available from treatment of F024 for some

 organic constituents that were proposed for regulation, because not all

 constituents  proposed for regulation were detected in the F024 that was

-treated by rotary kiln incineration and sampled by EPA.  Where treatment

 performance data were not available for an organic constituent proposed for

 regulation, treatment performance data were transferred to the organic con-

 stituent from another organic constituent that was detected in the untreated

 F024 sampled  by EPA, based  on the bond dissociation energy of the

 constituents.   (Bond dissociation energy (BDE) is a waste characteristic that

 affects the performance of  rotary kiln incineration,  and is discussed in EPA's

 Treatment Technology Background Document.  Appendix C of this document

 presents information on this waste characteristic.  The constituent with the

 same or the closest bond dissociation energy for which the Agency had treat-

 ment data from rotary kiln  incineration of F024 was selected for transfer of

 treatment performance data  to the constituent for which there was no treatment

 performance data.   Cases where such a transfer of data occurred are summarized

 below and appear in Table 7-4, which shows the calculations of the proposed

 treatment standards for F024.

proposed treatment standard for 1,1-dichloroethane (BDE 645 kcal/mole) is

based on data transferred from treatment of 1,2-dichloroethane (BDE 645

kcal/mole).  The Agency expects that  1,1-dichloroethane can be treated to

concentrations as low or lower than 1,2-dichloroethane.



          104.  Di-n-octyl phthalate.  Di-n-octyl phthalate was not found in

the F024 that was treated by rotary kiln incineration and sampled by EPA.  The

proposed treatment standard for di-n-octyl phthalate (BDE 6,565 kcal/mole) is

based on data transferred from treatment of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (BDE

6,465 kcal/mole).  The 100 kcal/mole difference between these BDEs is believed

to be within the accuracy of the BDE calculation; therefore, the Agency

expects that di-n-octyl phthalate can be treated to concentrations as low or

lower than bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate.

based on treatment performance data transferred from the lime and sulfide

bearing characteristic wastes.  The Agency believes that wastewater residuals

of K062 mixed with other metal-bearing characteristic wastes are sufficiently

similar to F024 wastewater residuals such that treatment performance data can

be transferred.  Treatment performance data for each metal constituent being

proposed for regulation in F024 wastewater were transferred from K062 mixed

with other metal-bearing characteristic wastes to F024.



          Included in Table 7-3 are the concentrations of metal constituents

in the wastewater residual following the lime and sulfide precipitation and

vacuum filtration of K062 mixed with other metal-bearing characteristic

wastes.  These concentration data have been corrected for accuracy to account

for analytical recovery, as described in Section 5.0.



          The proposed wastewater treatment standards were calculated for

metal constituents being proposed for regulation in F024 as shown in Table

described in this section for BDAT List organic constituents.

          The treatment standard being proposed for dioxins and furans in F024

                                  APPENDIX A

                               ANALYTICAL QA/QC



          The analytical methods used for analysis of the constituents being

proposed for regulation and identified in Section 6.0 are presented in Table

A-1 of this Appendix.  SW-846 Methods (EPA's Test Methods for Evaluating Solid

Waste:  Physical/Chemical Methods, SW-846) are used in most cases for

determining total constituent concentration.



          In some instances, it was necessary to deviate from the SW-846

Methods.  Deviations from SW-846 Methods required to analyze the sample matrix

are listed in Table A-2.  SW-846 allows for the use of alternative or equiva-

lent procedures or equipment; these are noted in Tables A-3 through A-7.



          The accuracy determination for a constituent is based on the matrix

spike recovery values.  Tables A-8 and A-9 present the matrix spike recovery

data for BOAT List constituents in the kiln ash and scrubber water residuals,

respectively.



          The accuracy correction factors for BOAT List constituents detected

in untreated F024 and in the kiln ash and scrubber water residuals are

summarized in Table A-10.  The accuracy correction factors were determined for

each constituent by dividing 100 by the matrix spike recovery (expressed in

percentage) for that constituent.
