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

CHAPTER 1
FEDERAL RCRA REQUIREMENTS
(40 CFR references 7/1/92 revision)
Subchapter I: Identification of Wastes (RCRA Classifications)
In the event of a response action at a Superfund site, the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), Section 121(d)(3),
requires that off-site disposal of substances defined as being hazardous
pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (CERCLA) comply with the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) to ensure disposal in the most environmentally
sound manner. RCRA governs the disposal of all wastes, which are
referred to in the statue as "solid wastes." "Solid wastes" can.be
gaseous, liquid, or solid in physical state. In RCRA these physical states
are labeled as "gaseous," "liquid," and "non-liquid," respectively.
Regulations to govern the identification, handling, and proper
disposal of hazardous wastes were established by RCRA as amended by
the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA). These regulations
are based on the hazardous constituents in a waste, the hazardous
characteristics of a waste and/or the conditions under which the waste
was derived. Exclusions and exemptions to all or part of the solid and
hazardous waste regulations are listed in 40 CFR 261.4. These
exclusions and exemptions should be examined as the first step in the
evaluation of a substance for disposal.
Step two in evaluating a substance for disposal is determining
whether the waste is hazardous. If a substance to be disposed of is not
excluded from solid and/or hazardous waste regulations, then the
generator of the waste further applies federal statutes and regulations to
establish whether the waste is hazardous. A solid waste that contains any
regulated hazardous constituents may be considered hazardous. The
concentration of the hazardous constituents or the source from which the
hazardous constituents were derived will affect the classification of the
waste. A list of RCRA hazardous constituents is provided in Table 1-1.
Other hazardous wastes, which may not appear on the hazardous
constituents list, include materials which demonstrate the characteristics
of ignitability, corrosivity or reactivity as defined by RCRA. An ignitable
waste is a liquid that has a flash point of less than 140° F, or a solid,

liquid, or gas that is defined as flammable or an oxidizer under U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations (DOT hazard definitions
can be found in Chapter 2). A corrosive waste is a liquid that has a pH
of less than 2 or greater than 12.5, or that corrodes steel at a rate greater
than 0.25 inches per year at 130° F. A reactive waste is a solid, liquid
or gas that may undergo violent change without detonation (air reactive),
that reacts violently when mixed with water, that forms potentially
explosive mixtures or generates toxic fumes, that emits cyanide or sulfide
gases at a pH between 2 and 12.5, or that is an explosive.
The EPA has established sampling and test procedures to
quantitatively determine if a waste is hazardous. These procedures are
described in the "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste,
Physical/Chemical Methods" section of EPA publication SW-846 and will
be discussed in Chapter 5 of this manual.
Once a waste has been determined to be hazardous, the third step
evaluating it for disposal is to apply RCRA hazardous waste codes to the
waste and/or determine if the waste requires special handling as a
California-listed waste. This part of the process requires exploring the
RCRA code lists and the California list.
RCRA waste codes are divided into five categories, each category
identified with a letter of the alphabet. These categories are the "U",
"P", "K", "F", and "D" codes. The "U" and "P" list of waste codes are
found in 40 CFR 261.33 and pertain to discarded commercial chemical
product, off-specification species, container residues and spill residues.
"U" indicates that the compound is listed due to its toxicity, while "P"
indicates that the compound is listed due to its acute toxicity. "U" and
"P" listed wastes fall into the following six groups:
1. Unused commercial chemical products;
2. Unused materials which were meant to be commercial chemical
products but which were not made correctly;
3. Unused chemical manufacturing intermediates which are
essentially technical grade chemicals;
4. Unused chemical manufacturing intermediates which would have
been essentially technical grade chemicals if they had been made
correctly;
5. Container residues of the first four items; and
6. Spill residues and spill cleanup residues of the first five items.
It is unlikely that the OSC, who assumes the role of generator at a
CERCLA removal action, will be able to verify the history of any
container contents or spills, making it unlikely that "U" or "P" codes will
be used on a Superfund site.

The "K" list of waste codes is found in 40 CFR 261.32 and pertains
to hazardous wastes from specific sources. K-listed wastes are generated
by specific processes involving wood preservation, inorganic pigments,
organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, pesticides, petroleum refining,
iron and steel, primary copper, primary lead, primary zinc, primary
aluminum, ferroalloys, secondary lead, veterinary Pharmaceuticals, ink
formulation, and coking. K-listings are also unlikely to be used at a
Superfund site unless the site is a chemical processing plant.
The "F" list of waste codes is found in 40 CFR 261.31 and pertains
to hazardous wastes from non-specific sources, which include generic
processes. F-listed wastes fall into the following eight groups:
1. Spent (used) halogenated solvents or non-halogenated solvents
(F001 - F005).
2. Spent baths or other wastes from electroplating operations
(F006 - F012).
3. Certain metal finishing wastes (F019).
4. Waste solvents from the production of chlorinated hydrocarbons
or dioxin precursors (F020 - F026).
5. Unused and incinerator residues of dioxin and dioxin precursor
wastes (F027 and F028).
6. Wood treating wastes (F032 - F035)
7. Petroleum refinery wastes (oil/water/sludge separation wastes)
(F037 - F038)
8. Land fill leachate (F039)
("Spent" means used material that can no longer be used for its original
purpose without being cleaned.)
"D" codes pertain to characteristic wastes as defined in 40 CFR
261.21 - 261.24 and are divided into the following four groups:
1. D001 code for the characteristic of ignitability includes the
following:
liquids with a flash point of less than 140° F;
solids that can cause fire and burn vigorously and persistently
when ignited (includes DOT flammable solids, spontaneously
combustible, and dangerous when wet hazard classes);
ignitable compressed gases (DOT flammable gases);
- DOT oxidizers.
2. D002 code for the characteristic of corrosivity includes the
following:
liquids with a pH below 2 or above 12.5 and
liquids which corrode steel faster than 0.25 inches per year.

Many generators also assign the D002 waste code to solids that,
when mixed with water, also meet the definition.
3. D003 code for the characteristic of reactivity includes the
following:
any waste that undergoes violent change without detonating;
any waste that when mixed with water reacts violently, forms
explosive mixtures, or generates toxic gases, vapors, or
fumes;
any waste that gives off cyanide or sulfide gasses in sufficient
quantity to present a danger to human health or the
environment when the pH is between 2 and 12.5; and
any waste that may spontaneously explode, or is a DOT-
defmed explosive.
4. Codes D004 through D043 apply to metal, pesticide and organic
contaminants in a waste at concentrations above the regulatory
level as determined by the Toxicity Characteristic Leachate

Federal RCRA Requirements
California-listed wastes are wastes adopted by Federal RCRA from
the state of California to avoid any loopholes in the identification and
subsequent disposal of materials which may be hazardous. RCRA
requires the appropriate disposal of the following California-listed wastes
per 40 CFR 268.42 (a):
1. Liquid waste with a pH less than 2.0;
2. Liquid waste with PCBs greater than 50 ppm;
3. Liquid waste with Halogenated Organic Compounds (HOCs)
greater than 1,000 mg/L; and
4. Non-liquid waste with HOCs greater than 1,000 mg/L.
Handling and disposal of PCB waste are governed under the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA), 40 CFR 761. It is important to note
that with the exception of PCBs, the other California-listed wastes will
probably have an associated RCRA waste code. Regulations which relate
to a waste code take precedence over California lists with the exception
of PCBs.
A flow chart is provided in Figure 1-1 to assist with the applicability
of a waste code to a waste.
The regulations concerning the hazardous waste identification system
currently regard a waste as hazardous under the "mixed-waste" rule or
the "derived-from" rule. The mixed-waste rule defines a waste as
hazardous if a listed or a characteristic waste has been mixed with a non-
hazardous waste, even if the final mixture does not demonstrate levels or
characteristics of hazardous waste. The derived-from rule defines a waste
as hazardous if at any time the waste contained or was defined as a listed
hazardous waste (U-, P-, K-, or F-listed wastes), even after it has been
treated according to existing regulations. The mixed-waste and derived-
from rules are in effect on an emergency basis and are expected to remain
in effect until 1994 or 1995. EPA is considering changes to the
hazardous waste identification system.

Federal RCRA Requirements
Subchapter II: Pre-transport Requirements, RCRA Land Disposal
Restriction Notifications and Manifest Requirements
Besides regulating the disposal of hazardous waste, RCRA regulates
the handling and storage of hazardous waste prior to disposal. The
generator of hazardous waste must first obtain an EPA identification
number, then package, label, and mark waste containers of 110 gallons or
less in accordance with 40 CFR 262 and 49 CFR 172, 173, 178 and 179
(DOT) prior to offering hazardous waste for transport off site. EPA ID
numbers are assigned to removal sites through the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information
System (CERCLIS). Regulations pertaining to actual transport are
discussed in detail in Chapter 2 (DOT).
Several forms of documentation must accompany each shipment of
waste to an authorized, designated disposal facility. Among these
documents are land disposal restriction (LDR) notifications, which state
that a particular waste must be treated by a specific technology (treatment
technologies) or that the regulated hazardous constituents must be reduced
to levels below a set concentration value (treatment standards). The LDR
notification from the generator to the disposal facility must include the
following:
40 CFR 268
Land Disposal Restrictions
Subpart A - General
268.7 Waste analysis and
recordkeeping
The generator's EPA ID number;
The manifest Number of the shipment;
The applicable LDR references for the waste codes from the 40
CFR 268.41, 268.42 and/or 268.43; and
The treatment standard (concentration value) for each hazardous
constituent in F001, F002, F003, F004, F005, F039 and
California-listed wastes.
The purpose of the LDR notifications is to provide the disposal
facility with the information needed to determine the extent of treatment
and the test method used to make that determination.
In 40 CFR 268.41 treatment standards are listed as Constituent
Concentrations of a Waste Extract (CCWE). Regulated constituents with
concentration values are listed for specific waste codes. The :
concentration values are based on leachability test results, which means
the treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSD) must run TCLP analysis
on the waste after treatment. All constituent concentrations must be
below regulated TCLP values before the waste can be landfilled.

In 40 CFR 268.43 treatment standards are listed as Constituent
Concentrations of Waste (CCW). Regulated constituents with con-
centration values are listed for specific waste codes. The concentration
values are based on total results, not on TCLP results. All constituent
concentrations must be below regulated total values before the waste can
be landfilled.
Treatment technologies are listed in 40 CFR 268.42, Table 2.
Wastes with codes that are not listed as CCW or CCWE are disposed of
according to specified treatment technologies, not according to
concentration values.
The treatment required for a California-listed waste is defined in 40
CFR 268.42 (a). California LDRs are as follows:
- Liquid PCBs greater than 50 ppm - Reference 40 CFR 761.70
(Toxic Substances Control Act or TSCA) for disposal
requirements. Note: TSDs are allowed to store PCB waste for
one year before disposal.
Non-liquid waste with HOC greater than 1000 mg/kg is required
to be RCRA incinerated unless a more specific waste code
stipulates a treatment standard.
The first step to referencing LDRs is to determine if the waste is
waste water or non-waste water. Waste water is waste consisting
primarily of water with less than one percent Total Organic Carbon
(TOC) and less than one percent Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Non-
waste water is water that does not meet the definition of waste water.
The second step to referencing LDRs is to look up each waste code in 40
CFR 268.41, 268.42, and 268.43 and note where each code is listed.
For F codes and California-listed wastes, also note the concentration
values for the hazardous constituents in the waste. Finally, if the
constituents of a U-, P-, K-, or F-listed waste exhibit D-listed char-
acteristics, causing a D-code to be assigned also, the generator does not
have to provide the treatment technology for the D-code as long as the
treatment standard under U, P, K, or F meets or exceeds the treatment
standard for the D characteristic (i.e., destroys the D characteristic).
In addition to LDR notifications, a manifest must accompany each
shipment of hazardous waste. The manifest is a modified bill of lading
for the purpose of transporting, documenting, and reporting hazardous
waste shipments. The manifest meets the bill of lading requirements for
hazardous material transportation under the DOT. Directions on the
completion of a manifest are usually printed on the back of the document.
The federal requirements for the completion of a uniform hazardous
waste manifest are provided in the appendix of 40 CFR 262.

Individual states may also print and require the use of state-specific
manifests with additional requirements. If the receiving state prints a
manifest (i.e., the state in which the designated facility is located), the
generator is required to use the manifest for that state. If the receiving
state does not print a manifest, the generator uses the generator state's
manifest, if available. If neither state prints a manifest, the generator can
use a federal uniform hazardous waste manifest. Details on particular
transportation requirements on the uniform manifest are covered in
Chapter 2 (DOT).

Copies of the manifest are used in the "cradle to the grave" waste
tracking system established by RCRA. The flow chart in Figure 1-2
depicts the use of manifest copies in the tracking system. Individual
states may or may not require the generator to submit a copy of the
manifest. If the receiving state (receiving facility's state) provides a
manifest, refer to copy distribution directions on the back of the manifest.
If the receiving state does not supply a manifest, it is unlikely that the
state has a tracking system in place. Always check generator state
requirements at the onset of a project.
It is important to note that the generator is responsible for ensuring
that a shipment of waste has reached its destination. A copy of eaph
manifest signed by the receiving facility is returned to the generator as a
"certification of receipt." If the generator does not receive the returned,
signed manifest within 35 days of the shipment, he or she must determine
the location and status of the waste. Certifications of receipt must be
maintained by the generator for three years.
In addition to maintaining manifest records, the generator must also
file a report with the Regional Administrator or the generator's state (if
the state has an authorized waste program) by March 1 of each even
numbered year. The report, filed on EPA Form 8700-13A, tells how
wastes were classified, the quantities removed, and disposal method for
the reporting period. The form provides space to report activities of the
previous year and changes in activities since the previous year. Some
state programs require a similar report to be filed annually instead of
biennially.

CHAPTER 2
FEDERAL DOT REGULATIONS FOR THE HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION
OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES AND HAZARDOUS WASTE
Subchapter I:
Introduction to the Changes in DOT Hazardous
Materials Transportation Regulations
At the time of this writing, transitional changes in transportation
regulations had been incorporated into the December 31, 1991, revision
of 49 CFR Parts 100 to 177. Effective October 1, 1993, the use of the
newly defined shipping descriptions, hazard classifications, and hazard
communication information for the transportation of hazardous materials
became a requirement of the DOT regulations. The use of a new vehicle
placarding system and new manufacturing specifications for transportation
packages will be in full effect as of October 1, 1994. Shippers will be
required to use the newly rated containers for transportation as of October
1, 1996.
This manual will discuss .the transportation of hazardous materials in
relation to the new regulations. The reader should be aware that the use
of the new placarding system and packaging specifications, which are
discussed in this manual, are optional until the effective date of the
regulation. If the system discussed in this manual is not used for vehicle
placards and containers, the shipper must comply with the previous
regulations, which were in effect on or before September 30, 1991.
Transportation requirements are specific to the mode of trans-
portation, such as air, water or ground. Ground transportation can be
further divided into highway, passenger, and rail. This manual will
concentrate on highway transportation of hazardous materials, which is
the normal mode of hazardous waste transportation from a removal site.

Subchapter II:
DOT Hazardous Materials Descriptions and Hazard
Classifications
Hazardous wastes and hazardous substances transported off site for
treatment and/or disposal must comply with the DOT hazardous materials
requirements. The DOT defines a hazardous material as a substance or
material that is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety,
and property when transported in commerce. DOT hazardous materials
include all hazardous substances as defined by CERCLA and hazardous
wastes as defined by RCRA.
The DOT Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) in 49 CFR Part 172.101
provides references to other sections of 49 CFR from which may be
obtained proper packaging guidelines for both bulk and non-bulk
transportation of hazardous materials, special provisions .or exemptions,
and container labeling requirements, all according to shipping names.
Thus, the proper shipping name must be assigned to a waste to determine
all other applicable DOT requirements. The HMT lists possible shipping
names in column 2 in alphabetical order. The majority of the shipping
names are chemical compounds and mixtures. The numerical code listed
in column 3 of the HMT represents the hazard classification of the
particular material. DOT hazard classifications can also be used as
shipping descriptions for waste mixtures and are listed in this table. The
DOT hazard class definitions and references to 49 CFR are as follows:
A. Class 1 - Explosives (49 CFR 173.50)
Any material which functions by explosion (extremely rapid release of
gas and heat) either from design or from inherent chemical
characteristics, unless otherwise classed. Divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,
1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 are in this class.
B. Class 2 - Gases (49 CFR 173.115)
2.1 Flammable gases
2.2 Non-flammable, non-poisonous compressed gases
2.3 Gas poisonous by inhalation (see 173.116 for required
assignment of hazard zone)

C. Class 3 - Ignitable Liquids (49 CFR 173.120)
Flammable liquids: flash point (FP) < 141° F
Combustible liquids: 141° F < FP < 200° F
(Note: Flammable liquids with a flash point of 100° F to 141° F may
also be classed as combustible.)
D. Class 4 - Ignitable Solids (49 CFR 173.124)
4.1 Flammable solids: Wetted explosives, self-reactive materials
(undergo strong exothermal decomposition at normal or
elevated temperatures), readily combustible solids (matches,
powdered metals).
4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials: Air reactive materials
(pyrophorics - ignite quickly when reacting with air), self-
heating materials (self heat when reacting with air).
4.3 Dangerous When Wet Materials: Materials that either are
spontaneously flammable or give off flammable or toxic gases
when in contact with water.
E. Class 5 - Oxidizing Materials (49 CFR 173.127)
5.1 Oxidizers: Materials that may cause or enhance the
combustion of other materials, generally by yielding oxygen.
5.2 Organic peroxides: Organic compounds containing oxygen in
a bivalent O-O structure, which may be considered a
derivative of hydrogen peroxide (an organic peroxide). If the
DOT lists a particular peroxide as an explosive, then it is
classed for transportation purposes as an explosive, not as an .
oxidizer. Note: The table in 49 CFR 173.225 (b) lists organic
peroxides by technical name.
F. Class 6 - Toxic Materials (49 CFR 173.132 - 173.134)
6.1 Poisonous materials: Compounds that are known to be toxic
or irritating with properties similar to tear gas. Note: Hazard
zones are required as part of the shipping description;
applicable zones are listed at 49 CFR 173.133.
6.2 Infectious substances or etiologic agents: Viable
microorganisms or their toxins, which cause disease [category
includes agents listed in 42 CFR 72.3 (Department of Health
and Human Services or DHHS)].

G. Class 7 - Radioactive Materials (49 CFR 173.401 - 173.478)
Radioactive materials constitute a special case, and will not be
covered in detail in this manual. In addition to 49 CFR 173.401
through 173.478, 10 CFR Part 71 must also be consulted prior to
packaging and transportation of radioactive materials.
H. Class 8 - Corrosive Materials (49 CFR 173.136)
Liquids or solids that cause visible destruction or irreversible
alteration in human skin tissue at the site of contact, or liquids that
rapidly corrode steel or aluminum.
I. Class 9 - Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials (49 CFR 173.140)
Includes hazardous substances and hazardous wastes that do not meet
any other DOT hazard classification and elevated temperature
materials (e.g., hot tar).
Note the following new shipping descriptions:
Environmentally Hazardous Substance, liquid, n.o.s., 9,
UN3082, III
Environmentally Hazardous Substance, solid, nos, 9,
UN3077, III
Polychlorinated biphenyls, 9, UN2315, II
The packing group for each description is depicted in column 5 of the
HMT as I, II or III and represents the degree of hazard associated with
each hazard classification. Packing group I represents a high hazard, II is
a medium hazard and III is a low hazard. The packing group must be
determined for materials that are described with a generic hazard
classification. The determination of the packing group for a mixture can
best be done by evaluating the listing in the HMT for the constituent(s)
that causes the material to be assigned to a particular hazard class. The
packing group for a flammable liquid can be assigned from data on the
material's flash point and boiling point as follows:
GROUP
I
II
III
Flash Point
< 73° F
73° to 141° F
Boiling Point
< 95° F

If the waste mixture to be transported can be assigned to more than
one hazard classification, the material must be classed according to the
highest applicable hazard. A material that meets the definition of Class 1
(explosives), Division 5.2 (organic peroxides), Division 4.1 (wetted
explosives), or Division 6.2 (infectious substances) is always classed as
such regardless of any other hazards associated with the material, due to
the unique properties associated with these categories. The following
hazard classes take precedence over the remaining hazard classes in the
order listed:
Radioactives (Class 7)
Poisonous gases (Division 2.3)
Flammable gases (Division 2.1)
Non-flammable gases (Division 2.2)
Poisonous liquids, I, poisonous by
inhalation (Division 6.1)
Pyrophorics (Division 4.2)
Self reactives (Division 4.1)
The Precedence of Hazard Table in 49 CFR 173.2a must be consulted
to determine the highest applicable hazard for mixtures that meet more
than one of the following classes:
Dangerous when wet (Division 4.3)
Flammable liquids (Class 3)
Oxidizers (Division 5.1)
Flammable solids (Division 4.1) other than wetted
explosives and self reactives
Spontaneously combustible (Division 4.2)
Corrosive materials (Class 8)
Poisonous liquids and solids, II & III (Class 6)
The precedence of the above classifications depends on the packaging
group of the material.
The classifications "combustible liquids" (Class 3) and "miscellaneous
hazardous materials" (Class 9) are only used when no other hazard class
can be applied.
Subchapter HI: General DOT Hazardous Materials Packaging
Requirements
All hazardous materials must be packaged according to DOT
specifications prior to shipment. The process of determining the proper
packaging specifications has several steps.

36
As with most regulations, gaining an understanding of regulatory
definitions and the application of general exemptions to the regulations is
the first step in evaluating hazardous waste packaging requirements.
Hazardous material packagings for highway transportation are subdivided
into bulk and non-bulk containers. Bulk containers have a capacity of
greater than 119 gallons (450 liters) for liquids and greater than 883
pounds (400 kilograms) for solids, and have no intermediate form of
containment. Non-bulk containers have a capacity of less than 119
gallons or 882 pounds.
The DOT requires all packages used for a particular hazardous
material or hazard class to pass DOT tests to ensure that the containers
will not allow the release of the hazardous material under normal
transportation conditions or during a typical transportation incident.
General requirements for non-bulk packages are listed in 49 CFR 173.24a
and include the following: inner packaging to be contained with the
closures upright; inner packaging to be cushioned to prevent friction and
breakage; and proper filling of the containers to be based on specific
gravity and vapor pressure of the material. General requirements for
bulk packages are listed in 49 CFR 132.24b and relate to filling limits
and methods, and to container structural requirements. .
The use of salvage drums (incorrectly referred to as "overpacks") is
common on removal sites. DOT-defmed "salvage drums" are used to
contain damaged, defective or leaking packages for transport for disposal
or repackaging. A salvage drum manufactured prior to October 1, 1993,
is subject to the provisions in effect on September 30, 1992. These
provisions allow for the use of any drum that has structural integrity
equal to or greater than that required for the hazardous material to be
contained, and that does not exceed a maximum capacity of 110 gallons.
Salvage drums manufactured after October 1, 1993, must meet DOT
specifications and testing requirements and may not exceed 119 gallons in
capacity. The new salvage drum provisions still require cushioning and
absorbent to prevent movement of the interior package and to eliminate
any free flowing liquids. "Overpack" refers to an enclosure that is used
to provide protection for a package or packages; it can only be used if the
requirements of 49 CFR 173.25 are met.
DOT drum packaging specifications for many hazardous materials
only allow closed head drums (drums with bung openings instead of a
removable lid) to be used for transport. However, DOT provides for
exemption to this rule for hazardous waste. Under this exemption, open

head drums may be used if the waste substance cannot be physically
placed into a closed head drum.
Previously used containers may be reused once to transport waste
without being subject to the reconditioning and testing requirements
established in 49 CFR 173.28 and 178. The "lab pack" exemption for
the transportation of laboratory wastes is discussed in Chapter 8.
The second step in determining DOT packing specifications for a
specific waste is to reference the HMT (49 CFR 172.101). Each
hazardous material's shipping name listed in column 2 of the table has
applicable packaging regulations (CFR sections) referenced in column 7
(special provisions) and in column 8 (packaging authorizations). Column
8 is further divided into column 8A (exemptions), column 8B (non-bulk
packagings), and column 8C (bulk packagings).
The special provision references listed in column 7 of the HMT are
coded according to the applicable mode of transportation and bulk and
non-bulk packaging. Special provision codes referenced in column 7 of
the HMT are defined as follows:
Numbers-only codes refer to bulk and non-bulk packaging;
"A" refers to transportation by aircraft;
"B" refers to bulk packages only;
"H" refers to transportation by highway;
"N" refers to non-bulk packages only;
"R" refers to transportation by rail;
"T" refers to intermodal* portable tanks; .
"W" refers to transportation by water.
* Intermodal (IM) portable tanks are freight containers designed to
be used in several modes of transportation such as highway and
rail.
The provisions in column 7 impose limitations or additional
requirements on package specifications referenced in column 8 of the
HMT. The word "none" in column 8A, 8B, or 8C of the HMT indicates
that no exemptions, non-bulk packaging, or bulk packaging, respectively,
are authorized, except as may be provided for under special provisions
(column 7).

The final step in determining the proper packing for a hazardous
material is to apply the references obtained in the hazardous materials
table. The packaging specifications referenced in column 8 of the HMT
are detailed in 49 CFR 173. Special provisions can be referenced by
codein49CFR 172.102.
Section 173 of 49 CFR contains the DOT specifications for
packagings that may be used to transport a material within a particular
hazard class and packing group. Again, an understanding of the
regulatory definitions and codings is needed to apply the packaging
specifications to a hazardous material to be shipped.
The DOT defines authorized combination packagings and authorized
single packagings. Combination packaging consists of one or more inner
packages secured in a non-bulk outer package. Single packaging is non-
bulk packaging other than combination packaging, and includes composite
packaging. Composite packaging consists of an outer packaging and an
inner receptacle and is constructed so that the total package forms an
integrated whole. Once a composite package is constructed, it is always
handled as a single unit.
DOT standards for packaging hazardous materials are based on
United Nations (UN) recommendations. Identification codes are assigned
to types of authorized packaging and are referred to as "DOT packaging
specifications." The identification code system for non-bulk packages
involves a series of numbers and capital letters. The number preceding a
capital letter identifies the type of container (drum, box, composite
package, etc). The capital letter refers to the construction material of the
container (steel, wood, plastic, etc). The number appearing after a
capital letter indicates whether a drum has a removable head (code
number "1") or non-removable head (code number "2"). A composite
package is coded with a "6" to identify the type of container and with two
capital letters together to identify the construction materials. The first
capital letter in the composite package identification code refers to the
inner package and the second capital letter refers to the outer package.
Combination packages are designated with the outer code number only.
Identification codes are defined as follows:

Under this sytem, a steel drum with an open head would be
designated "1A1." A composite packaging consisting of a plastic bag
inside of a steel, non-removable head drum would be designated "6HA2."
A combination package of plastic bags inside of a steel, removable head
drum would be designated "1A1."
DOT packaging regulations are cumbersome and thus difficult to
decipher. Nevertheless, determining the proper transportation packaging
for a hazardous material can be made easier if several steps are followed.
The first step is to become familiar with the general provisions and
exemptions of the DOT packaging regulations. The general provisions,
based for the most part on common sense, include using a package that is
capable of containing the hazardous material during transport.
Exemptions generally apply to specific cases, such as waste and small
quantities.
The second step in determining the proper packaging for a hazardous
material is to look up the specific packaging regulation and special
provision references in the DOT Hazardous Materials Table in 49 CFR
172.101. The third step is to review the specific packaging regulations
referred to in the HMT (column 8A, 8B, or 8C) and to determine which
authorized package or packaging can be utilized for your particular
situation. The final step is to ensure that no special provisions affect the
packaging selected. References to special provisions are found in column
7 of the HMT, with codes that apply to specific types of packages and/or
modes of transportation. Checking CFR special provisions for details is
not necessary unless a code is present that can be applied to the particular
transportation mode and container type selected.
Once the proper packaging has been determined, the shipping
description must be prepared, the container must be labeled and marked,
and the transport vehicle must be placarded in accordance with DOT
specifications. The information used to determine packaging is also used
to determine shipping description, labels and markings, and placarding.

Subchapter IV:
DOT Hazardous Materials Shipping Descriptions,
Container Labeling and Marking, Vehicle
Placarding and Material Segregation Requirements
A DOT-authorized shipping description must be assigned to every
hazardous material package prior to transportation. The shipping
description consists of the shipping name, hazard class or division,
identification number, packaging group, and possibly a technical
description and/or CERCLA reportable quantity (RQ) reference. All
authorized shipping names with the associated identification number (UN
numbers), hazard class, and packaging group are listed alphabetically in
the Hazardous Materials Table of 49 CFR 172.101. When the hazardous
material is a waste, the word "waste" must precede the shipping
description. Shipping names that do not include specific chemical or
common names will include the "Not Otherwise Specified" (NO.S)
ending. When the NOS designation is used, additional technical
descriptions are required in parentheses between the shipping name and
the hazard class or following the basic description. The DOT allows the
use of RCRA codes as a substitute for technical descriptions in the
transportation of hazardous wastes. For clarity and emergency response
purposes, the authors of this manual recommend the use of both technical
descriptions and RCRA codes when using generic hazardous waste
shipping descriptions. If a package contains a CERCLA reportable
quantity of a hazardous substance, the letters "RQ" and the name of the
substance to which the RQ pertains must be included as part of the
shipping description. CERCLA hazardous substances and the associated
reportable quantities are listed in the appendix of 49 CFR 172.101;
reportable quantities of hazardous wastes are reported at the end of this
appendix arid are referenced according to the applicable RCRA waste
code.

DOT package labeling, marking and placarding requirements depend
on the type of material and the size of the container. DOT labels
identify the primary hazard of the material and must conform to DOT
specifications as listed in 49 CFR 172. All non-bulk containers must be
labeled as specified in column 6 of the HMT. Bulk containers of less
than 1000 gallons must also be labeled according to the HMT unless
placarded in accordance with 49 CFR 172.
DOT markings are descriptive information that may be required for
particular packages and/or for particular hazardous materials. DOT
regulations require all non-bulk containers of hazardous waste to be
marked with the following information:
"Hazardous Waste - Federal Law prohibits improper disposal. If
found, contact the nearest police or public safety authority or the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency."
The generator's name and address.
- The manifest document number.
The proper shipping description.
The corresponding EPA regulations in 40 CFR still stipulate that
containers of 110 gallons or less be marked according to the above
information. It is expected that EPA hazardous waste regulations in this
category will change this upper limit to 119 gallons to remain consistent
with the new DOT regulations for bulk and non-bulk containers.
Bulk packages with a capacity of 1,000 gallons or more must be
marked with the hazardous material identification number (UN number)
on each side and on each end. A package-with a capacity of less than
1000 gallons must be marked on two opposing sides. Additional
information on container-specific marking requirements can be referenced
in 49 CFR as follows:
- Liquid hazardous materials in non-bulk packages - 49 CFR 172.312
- Poisonous hazardous materials - 49 CFR 172.313
- Explosive hazardous materials - 49 CFR 172.320
- Elevated temperature materials - 49 CFR 172.325
- Portable tanks - 49 CFR 172.326
Placards provide hazard identification information on a transportation
vehicle that contains hazardous materials. Placards must conform to
DOT specifications as listed in 49 CFR 172. Use of placards depends on
the types and quantities of hazardous materials in the transport vehicle.
Any vehicle transporting an explosive (1.1, 1.2 or 1.3), poisonous by
inhalation, dangerous when wet, or radioactive material must always be

placarded as such. Any vehicle transporting over 1000 pounds of any
other hazardous material must be placarded according to the hazard
classification of the material carried. A "dangerous" placard is required
on a vehicle containing a combined total of over 1000 pounds of several
materials from different hazard classes. More specific placards are also
required in conjunction with the dangerous placard if explosive (1.1, 1.2,
or 1.3), poisonous by inhalation, dangerous when wet, or radioactive
materials are present or if over 5000 pounds of a material from one
hazard class is loaded on the vehicle.
DOT requires that certain hazardous materials be segregated from
each other for storage and transportation. Consult the "Segregation Table
for Hazardous Materials" in 49 CFR 177.848 to determine the proper
segregation of hazardous materials. The Segregation Table is represented
here in Table 2-1.
Subchapter V: Shipping Papers
Each shipment of hazardous materials must be accompanied by
shipping papers. Shipping papers describe the quantity and types of
materials to be shipped, the addresses of the consignor (shipper) and the
consignee (designated receiver), safety information and, possibly,
additional regulatory information. A hazardous waste manifest (manifest)
is required to be used as the shipping paper for hazardous waste
transportation. Figure 2-1 provides an example of a uniform hazardous
waste manifest.
The following information is always required on a manifest:
Generator's EPA ID Number and unique five-digit document
number;
Generator's mailing address (the mailing address may be different
from the site address);
. - Generator's phone number;
Name and EPA ID number of the transporter;
name, address and EPA ID number of the designated receiving
facility;
Complete U.S. DOT shipping description for each hazardous
material for each type of container
Container type, quantity, and total quantity of each shipping
description;

incident;
Immediate methods for handling a fire involving the material;
Initial methods for handling spills or leaks in the absence of fire;
and

CHAPTER 3
CONVENTIONAL HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT
AND DISPOSAL METHODS
Subchapter I: Introduction to Conventional Hazardous Waste
Treatment and Disposal Methods
Regulations under RCRA detail requirements for hazardous waste
classification, handling, and record keeping. RCRA further specifies
treatment standards or land disposal restrictions for all hazardous wastes.
Land disposal restrictions dictate the extent of treatment or destruction of a
waste prior to landfilling. Several commercial treatment options that meet
. the regulatory treatment standards may be available for a specific waste
stream. Understanding conventional waste treatment processes allows the
generator to select the most environmentally beneficial and cost effective
means of disposal for a particular waste stream. This chapter briefly
describes the processes of typical commercial, RCRA-permitted, waste
treatment options. In particular, the capabilities of resource recovery,
incineration, waste water treatment, and stabilization options are summarized.
The selection of disposal options based on waste characterizations and the
method for characterizing wastes and waste streams are outlined in
Chapter 6.
Subchapter II: Recycling and Recovery
RCRA has authorized a number of waste treatment methods that
promote resource recovery from several types of wastes. Recovery methods
are available for concentrated solvent or metal wastes. Solvent recovery
involves the distillation of a waste mixture to separate and purify the
components. The distilled solvents can then be reused in many commercial
manufacturing processes. Solvent F001, F002, F003, and F005 wastes
without sulfide or cyanide contamination and with limited inorganic
contamination are often recyclable.
Metal recovery from a waste stream may involve chemical reactions
and/or thermal treatment to remove and recover valuable metals from waste
mixtures. Metals can be recovered from liquids, solids, sludges, acids and

INMETCO, Ellwood City, PA
Fuels blending is another means of promoting resource recovery from
hazardous wastes. In 1991, RCRA promulgated the Boiler and Industrial
Furnace (BIF) rule to promote blending of many organic waste streams with
fuel. In the past, cement kilns were authorized to utilize pumpable organic
liquid wastes with a fuel value of greater than 5000 BTU/pound as a fuel
supplement in the cement process. The new BIF rule will allow many
cement kilns to explore the use of low fuel value organic liquid wastes as
well as solids and sludges. [The Hazardous Waste Consultant: March/April
1992]
The process of using organic wastes as fuel substitutes in cement kilns
thermally destroys the organic constituents of the waste. Ash recovered from
the burning of fuels and fuel substitutes is also used in cement production,
rendering immobile the inorganic contaminants from fuels blended wastes.
The fuels blending process is currently less expensive than commercial
treatment, storage and disposal (TSD) incineration processes due to the
limited types of waste streams acceptable and the permitting and waste
processing requirements associated with fuels blending. Thus, fuels blending
by cement kilns should be explored prior to conventional waste treatment
technologies at commercial TSDs for the disposal of organic liquid waste
streams.
-------
Conventional Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods 49
Subchapter HI: Incineration
In 1988 regulations under RCRA restricted land disposal of liquid,
solvent, dioxin and 157 high hazard, high volume wastes. The 1988
restrictions were referred to as the "soft hammer" and required waste
treatment by a method that provided the greatest environmental benefit if a
concentration-based treatment standard had not been established for the
particular waste. As a result, thermal destruction of hazardous wastes
through RCRA-permitted incinerators became a popular means of compliance
with the soft hammer. Today, land disposal restrictions require each type of
waste to be treated to achieve concentrations below a specified level or to be
treated by a specific treatment technology prior to landfilling. Incineration is
one method of treatment listed under RCRA land disposal restrictions for a
variety of wastes. Incineration is also a common method of treatment to
achieve the concentration-based standards.
A RCRA-permitted incinerator is an enclosed device that uses flame
combustion at temperatures of 1200 to 1500°C and that is not a boiler or
furnace. Flame combustion is the thermal destruction of wastes by oxidation,
which reduces the volume of the waste and creates less harmful chemical
components. Carbon dioxide and water are the end products of the
combustion of organic materials. Oxides are the end products of the
combustion of inorganic materials.
In general, the incineration process is required to achieve a Destruction
Removal Efficiency (DRE) of at least 99.99 percent of Principal Organic
Hazardous Constituents (POHC) of a waste. Some specific POHC's, such as
dioxins, require a DRE of greater than 99.9999 percent. Rotary kilns are the
most widely used incinerators because of their versatility in accepting
variations in waste streams. A rotary kiln consists of a refractory lined
cylindrical reactor lying on its side. One end of the kiln is elevated and is
designed to accept the waste feed. The waste can be solid, liquid or sludge.
The kiln rotates around its horizontal axis to move the waste from the
elevated end to the lower end. The speed of rotation can be manipulated to
ensure the desired combustion of the waste feed.
Combustion products (carbon dioxide, elemental oxides, particulates,
and acid gases from combustion of sulfur and halogenated compounds) flow.,
from the kiln to an afterburner chamber, which operates at a lower
temperature than the rotary kiln. Low BTU wastes, such as contaminated
water, are often introduced into the afterburner chamber. Water is vaporized
while organic contaminants are thermally destroyed in this part of the
process. Cooling combustion products then flow from the afterburner to a
quench and scrub unit. Water is sprayed into the quench and scrub unit with
the combustion products. This aspect of the waste incineration process
-------
Conventional Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods 50
serves to cool combustion gasses and then to scrub or remove particulates
and acid gasses. Scrub water is reused after neutralization and precipitation
treatments. Precipitated particles from scrub water as well as any kiln ash
are tested to assure compliance with LDRs and are usually further treated
with chemical bonding or stabilization techniques prior to landfill.
Waste streams that contain more than 10 percent organic constituents
are usually treated with thermal destruction techniques. Incineration is the
most likely treatment technique for any organic solid or sludge waste stream.
Important factors to consider for wastes to be incinerated are fuel value
(BTU) and ash, halogen and sulfur content.
The ash content of a waste dictates the reduction in volume the waste
will undergo when it is incinerated. Since the ash from incineration is
usually treated and is always disposed of at a RCRA hazardous waste
landfill, ash content is directly related to price of disposal. Most flammable
liquids and organic polymers have a high BTU value (10,000 to 20,000
BTUs per pound) and a low ash value (less than one percent ash). Thus,
flammable liquid and polymer wastes are generally the least expensive to
incinerate. Halogenated solvents and organic solids are usually moderately
priced with fuel values of 3,000 to 10,000 BTUs per pound and ash content
of less than ten percent. Aqueous liquids have a low to negative fuel value
and usually an ash content of less than 25 percent. Inorganic solids may
have a positive fuel value but normally have a high ash value. Thus, other
forms of disposal should be considered for aqueous and inorganic solid waste
streams for both cost and environmental effectiveness.
The use of wastes as fuels is the most cost effective means of disposal
of organic liquids. Whereas boilers and furnaces are generally restricted to
high energy (greater than 5000 BTUs per pound) and limited halogen content
wastes for use as fuel substitutes, RCRA-permitted incinerators blend both
high and low fuel value organic liquids, even with halogens, to achieve the
desirable fuel value for kiln operations. Thus, for a site with low and high
fuel value organic wastes and/or halogenated organic waste, incineration of
all organic waste streams may be more cost effective than fuels blending of
high BTU wastes at a cement kiln and incineration of low BTU and
halogenated wastes at an incinerator facility.
Subchapter IV: Conventional Wastewater Treatment Technologies
RCRA-permitted commercial wastewater treatment facilities are capable
of treating a variety of aqueous wastes as well as water-soluble solids and
sludges. The facilities utilize biological, chemical and/or physical techniques
throughout the wastewater treatment system to reduce the hazardous
-------
Conventional Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods 51
properties and/or constituents of a waste stream. A facility's ability to treat a
waste stream using one or more techniques in the process allows
multicontaminant waste streams to be treated environmentally safely and cost
effectively.
Aqueous wastes with organic contaminants are usually treated by
biological processes or carbon absorption, or a combination of the two,
within the commercial wastewater treatment facility. Biological treatments,
which include aerobic and anaerobic systems, utilize the metabolism of
microorganisms to degrade organic chemicals into less harmful compounds or
into a cellular mass. The organic constituents of a waste in effect become
food for a population of microorganisms.
Aerobic biological processes require oxygen as well as a carbon source
for the microorganisms to thrive. Some aerobic systems contain organisms
in a liquid suspension, or activated sludge. The sludge is supplied with
oxygen by agitation and sparging. When hazardous waste is introduced into
the sludge, the organisms consume the organic contaminants and build
cellular mass. The enlarged biological cells are removed when the
degradation of the organic contaminants in the waste has been completed.
Aerobic treatment techniques effectively process wastewaters with less than
one percent organic contamination.
Anaerobic processes occur in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic
microorganisms, catalyzed by enzymes, break down organic contaminants
into cellular mass and gaseous products. These organisms can tolerate higher
levels of organic contaminants than can aerobic organisms. A disadvantage
of the process is that anaerobic systems lack flexibility in responding to a
change in organic concentrations in the waste feed.
The physical process of carbon adsorption is also effective in the
removal of organic contaminants from wastewater. Activated carbon has a
greater affinity than water for organic contaminants. Thus, organic wastes are
removed from an aqueous matrix and are adsorbed or fixed onto the carbon
surfaces in this process. When the carbon has become saturated with organic
contaminants, it must be regenerated. Thermal regeneration of carbon
reactivates the carbon surface while destroying the organic constituents. Both
carbon adsorption and biological processes are often utilized in commercial
wastewater treatment systems to process aqueous wastes with generally up to
10 percent organic constituents.
Inorganic contamination in wastewater as well as water soluble
inorganic hazardous wastes can be processed in commercial wastewater
facilities through a variety of physical and chemical treatments. Precipitation
involves changing the solubility of an aqueous inorganic contaminant, causing
-------
Conventional Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods 52
it to become solid and fall out of solution. One method of precipitation is
achieved by introducing a chemical into the wastewater that causes a reaction
with the water soluble inorganic compound. The chemical reaction creates a
new, water insoluble component that precipitates. Another method of
precipitation involves the manipulation of the original solvent (water) to
create a new matrix in which the contaminant is less soluble. The
precipitated solids are stabilized with solidification techniques prior to
landfill. Precipitation reactions are used frequently to treat wastewaters that
contain regulated levels' of metals in the form of salts.
Neutralization is the removal of the RCRA characteristic of corrosivity
by the addition of an acid or base to an aqueous waste material of the
opposite pH. The result of the typically exothermic reaction is an aqueous
solution containing a salt. If the resulting salt contains regulated metals,
precipitation can then be utilized in the treatment process.
Oxidation/reduction (redox) reactions are used in wastewater treatment
processes to destroy the oxidizing properties of a waste and to reduce the
toxicity of metal, sulfide or cyanide compounds. Phenols, pesticides, and
sulfur-containing organic compounds can also be treated with redox
reactions. This process involves the addition of a chemical capable of
oxidizing (removing an electron) or reducing (adding an electron) to the
contaminant of concern. The redox reaction may render the contaminant less
toxic or may cause it to precipitate out of the aqueous solution.
Regardless of the particular processes or combination of processes used
in the wastewater treatment system, the resultant "cleaned" water must be
tested to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and compliance with RCRA
treatment standards. The discharge of the "cleaned" water is also regulated
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
Chapter 6 of this manual outlines the appropriateness of wastewater
treatment for field characterized wastes. In addition, RCRA-permitted
wastewater treatment facilities should be considered for wastewater from the
decontamination of site personnel and equipment, drum rinsate, and leachate
collection, corrosive wastes from electroplating facilities, and aqueous wood
treating solutions.
Subchapter V: Deactivation/Stabilization Waste Treatment Technologies
Deactivation is the elimination of the RCRA characteristic that causes a
waste to be classified as hazardous. Technologies for aqueous wastes can
also be applied to inorganic solid and sludge waste streams without the
introduction of water as a solvent. The addition of other chemical
-------
Conventional Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Methods 53
components to a waste stream that result in neutralization or redox reactions
destroys corrosivity and oxidizer characteristics, respectively. Redox
reactions can also be used to reduce the toxicity of many metal, sulfide, and
cyanide compounds. The treated waste must be tested to assure compliance
with LDRs prior to landfill.
In addition to these chemical reactions, solidification and encapsulation
(S&E) techniques are used to eliminate free liquids and encapsulate hazardous
contaminants of inorganic solid and sludge waste streams. S&E processes do
not destroy the hazardous constituents in the waste, instead, they stabilize the
hazardous constituents to prevent mobility when landfilled. S&E is achieved
through the addition of cement, lime,, thermoplastic materials or organic
polymers to the waste stream. The S&E process substantially increases the
volume of waste to be landfilled. Thus, alternate treatment and recovery
methods should be considered prior to deactivation/stabilization disposal
methods.

DISPOSAL FACILITY WASTE EVALUATION
AND ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURES
Subchapter I: The Waste Profile
A waste stream comprises all site wastes that have the same physical,
chemical and hazard characteristics; that have the same RCRA-regulated
hazardous constituents and waste codes; and that will be treated using the
same disposal technology. Commercial treatment, storage and disposal
(TSD) facilities require each waste stream to be profiled, that is, to be fully
characterized for disposal purposes. The profile information is completed on
the particular TSD's profile form. Profile forms may also be known as
waste characterization forms, or waste safety data forms.
The following information is usually required on a profile for all waste
streams:
- . Generator's name, address, phone number and EPA ID number.
General description of the waste and the process from which it
was derived.
Physical state of the waste (solid, sludge, liquid) with percent
liquid and percent solid.
The composition of the waste totaling 100 percent (this includes
hazardous and non-regulated constituents).
The shipment method, quantity and frequency anticipated (one
5000 gallon tank truck, one time).
All applicable RCRA waste codes.
Hazardous characteristics of the waste (flammable, oxidizer,
corrosive).
Physical data such as pH, estimated total organic carbon content,
and estimated total halogenated organic compounds.

Specialty hazards of a waste must also be noted on a profile. Chapter
8 of this manual addresses specialty wastes such as explosives, radioactives,
PCBs, dioxins and labpacks.
Conventional disposal processes and RCRA regulations were developed
on the assumption that the generator possesses knowledge of the waste. Most
chemical users and manufacturers typically generate large quantities of any
one waste stream and have knowledge of the presence or absence of RCRA-
regulated constituents. Thus, the commercial generator may complete a
profile based on "generator's knowledge" of the waste.
Unfortunately, generator's (OSC's) knowledge of wastes at Superfund-
lead removal sites is limited. The OSC must rely heavily on analysis to
profile each waste. Many variables exist in laboratory analysis data due to
the heterogeneous nature of wastes, choices made in compositing samples,
and inconsistencies in sample collecting and handling techniques. Chapters 5
and 6 of this manual discuss waste sampling and analysis options for a
variety of waste streams to maintain financial feasibility and reduce data
variability.
Regardless of the manner in which profile information is obtained,
regulated and non-regulated constituent values as well as chemical and
physical properties should be reported as reasonable ranges. Most TSDs
have set ranges for significant parameters that will affect the treatability
and/or the cost of the treatment. Thus, analysis variabilities may cause a
waste stream to be redefined. To avoid unexpected costs and possible
rejection of a waste stream from a TSD, the OSC should profile site waste
streams based on the worst case scenario possible using the data available.
-------
Disposal Facility Waste Evaluation and Acceptance Procedures 57
Subchapter II: The Disposal Facility's Process and Considerations
In addition to a waste profile form, which provides a detailed
description of the waste stream, a representative sample of the waste stream
must be submitted to the proposed disposal facility. The TSD analyzes the
sample and compares the results to the profile form. If the analysis and
profile information are congruent, the TSD assigns an approval number to
the profile and accepts the waste for treatment. This facility review process
is normally associated with a fee of $100 to $300, which may be referred to
as a profile fee, approval fee, or treatability study fee.
Once the TSD has approved the waste stream, the disposal price can be
confirmed and a schedule for shipment can be arranged. The approval
number (profile number) must be noted for each line of a manifest, and
marked on each container of non-bulk waste (containers of less than 119
gallons).
All waste shipped to a facility under a profile number is sampled and
analyzed upon arrival at the designated facility. If the waste matches the
profile data within the acceptable ranges, a representative of the facility will
sign the receipt section of the manifest and mail copies to the generator and
to applicable states. The signed, returned copy of the manifest is the
"certification of receipt" required by RCRA.
A word of caution is in order at this time. The CERCLA off-site
disposal policy [SARA 121 (d) (3)] requires RCRA compliance for off-site
disposal of CERCLA hazardous substances during a CERCLA-funded
response action. Facilities should be informed that the waste to be treated
was derived from a CERCLA-funded response action and that compliance
with the CERCLA off-site policy must be maintained. The certification of
disposal should be requested from the facility at the time of the contract
agreement for documentation of CERCLA compliance. TSDs often accept
and then broker wastes to alternate facilities. If a certification of disposal
and compliance with the CERCLA off-site disposal policy are not stipulated
in the disposal contract, the waste could be subcontracted to a facility that is
not currently in compliance or that does not provide the treatment method
specified by the OSC. Some CERCLA wastes are not RCRA regulated;
thus, a TSD could dispose of a non-RCRA regulated waste stream at another
facility that is not RCRA permitted, unless RCRA compliance is specified.
If waste received at a facility does not match the profile information,
the waste is referred to as off-specification (off-spec). Several options are
generally considered for off-specification wastes. The TSD may determine
that the off-spec waste can still be treated at its facility; if so, treatment of
off-spec waste is accompanied by a second profile fee and/or waste handling
-------
Disposal Facility Waste Evaluation and Acceptance Procedures 58
surcharges. Transportation and storage charges accrued to investigate an
alternate facility are usually higher than the additional charges requested by
the originally designated facility to process the waste. If the designated
facility is not permitted for, or is not capable of, treating the off-specification
waste, the waste will be rejected for treatment by the facility. The cost of
storage while an alternate treatment facility is being arranged versus the cost
of transportation back to the site and then to the alternate TSD facility must
be considered.
Subchapter HI: Summary of Commercial Disposal Waste Stream
Evaluation and Considerations
1. Sampling and analysis variables must be considered for waste profile
information. See Chapter 5 for further detail.
2. Treatment technology for a waste stream should be determined prior to
contracting with a TSD.
3. Waste profile forms should be completed with the "worst case
scenario" in mind to account for analysis variabilities and to ensure
acceptance by the designated facility.
4. Proper waste profile information is essential to ensure proper disposal.
5. Compliance with the CERCLA off-site disposal policy and provision of
certifications of disposal should be stipulated in the contract with the
TSD.

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

sample handling and analysis methods for determining if wastewater can
be discharged under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permitting process. The EPA Office of Solid Waste and
Emergency Response (OSWER) has published standard sampling
procedures established by the EPA Environmental Response Team (ERT)
for a variety of environmental sampling efforts as follows:
OSWER DIRECTIVE

Geophysics Procedures
9360/4-03 1/91 Compendium of ERA Surface Water and Sediment

9360.4-06 1/91 Compendium of ERT Groundwater Sampling

9360.4-07 1/91 Compendium of ERT Waste Sampling Procedures
These EPA guidance publications were not established as regulation.
Rather, the publications establish tangible sample handling procedures that
provide a legal basis for verification of analysis results obtained from the
sampling effort.
In addition to producing sample and analysis guidance publications to
ensure uniformity, EPA has established the Contract Laboratory Program
(CLP) to assist with consistency and verification of laboratory results.
EPA-contracted labs must comply with statements of work and approved
sample handling and analysis procedures to participate in the program.
CLP statements of work and laboratory procedures are consistent with
SW-846 and EPA-600 publications.
Most removal assessments involve sampling and analysis for
hazardous substances that have established, verifiable sample collection
and handling procedures and analysis methodologies. The commonly
used assessment parameters are priority pollutants (PP), CLP target
analyte list (TAL) and/or CLP target compound list (TCL) compounds.
These assessment parameter lists can be subdivided according to chemical
properties as follows:

The compounds in each list and the associated environmental
regulations governing the compound can be found in Table 5-1.
The normal CLP data obtained from a removal assessment provides
the OSC information with which to evaluate the site threat. In disposal
'terms, assessment data provides generator's knowledge of the waste.
However, the normal CLP data does not supply the OSC with sufficient
information to determine the proper technique to mitigate the threat or to
arrange proper treatment or disposal of the evaluated site hazardous
substances.
Subchapter II: Factors to Consider in Determining the Information
Needed to Characterize a Waste Stream
As described in Chapter 1 of this manual, hazardous waste is a
subclassification of solid waste. A generator of any type of waste is
required under RCRA regulations to determine if a generated waste is
hazardous. A waste can be defined as hazardous based on the conditions
under which it was derived, based on its hazardous characteristics, or
based on the concentrations of regulated hazardous constituents in the
waste.
During an assessment, an OSC must consider the threat caused by
any hazardous substance on a site. The OSC must also consider the
means of mitigating the threat and complying with regulations. Not all
CERCLA hazardous substances are- regulated under RCRA as hazardous
waste; however, the CERCLA off-site disposal policy requires that the
disposal of all hazardous substances at CERCLA responses be consistent
with RCRA regulations regarding hazardous waste disposal. Thus, it is
important that an OSC acquire knowledge of all site wastes with regard to
disposal regulations.
-------
Introduction to Sampling and Analysis Methodologies 62
The extent of analysis needed to define substances for waste disposal
depends upon the OSC's knowledge of the waste, the chemical and
physical characteristics of the waste, the treatment technologies to be
explored for disposal of the waste, and the facility where the waste will
be treated. It.is not possible to know which facility will treat the waste
until the removal action has begun. However, qualitative information
about the characteristics of a substance can be easily obtained, and waste
treatment technology options can be explored based on the physical and
chemical characteristics of a waste. Waste analysis parameters can then
be selected based upon generator's knowledge of the waste, general
characteristics of the waste, and available treatment options for the waste
to complete regulatory classification requirements. Chapter 6 of this
manual addresses waste characterization and analysis options for typical
unknown drum wastes found at Superfund removal sites. The Appendix
provides an example of the evaluation of unknown drum wastes and the
requirements of the disposal process. Chapter 7 addresses typical bulk
wastes, such as tanks and vats from manufacturing and process facilities,
soil contamination and hazardous debris. Chapter 8 addresses specialty
wastes.

CHAPTER 6
UNKNOWN DRUM WASTES:
CHARACTERIZATION FOR DISPOSAL
Subchapter I: Introduction to Waste Characterization Needs
This chapter is dedicated to the techniques and general criteria needed
to evaluate the unknown drum wastes (for example, those often found from
"midnight dumping") for treatment and disposal. As is described in Chapter
1 of this manual, hazardous waste is a subclassification of solid waste. A
generator of any type of waste is required under RCRA regulations to
determine whether a generated waste is hazardous. A waste can be defined
as hazardous based on the situation from which it was derived, based on its
hazardous characteristics, or based on the concentrations of regulated
hazardous constituents in the waste. The EPA Office of Solid Waste and
Emergency Response (OSWER) has established sampling and analysis
methodologies to be used to determine if a hazardous constituent is present in
a waste at a regulated concentration. The OSWER sampling and analysis
procedures are published in Solid Waste 846 (SW-846).
The extent of analysis needed to define substances for waste disposal
depends upon the OSC's knowledge of .the waste, the chemical and physical
characteristics of the waste, the treatment technologies to be explored for the
disposal of the waste, and the facility where the waste will be treated. It is
not possible to know which facility will treat the waste until the removal
action has begun. However, qualitative information or information about the
RCRA characteristics of a substance can be easily obtained. Waste treatment
technology options can be explored based on the physical and chemical
characteristics of a waste. Waste analysis parameters can then be selected
based upon generator's knowledge of the waste, general characteristics of the
waste, and treatment options available for the waste to complete regulatory
classification requirements.
Solvent recycling, metals recovery, and fuels blending waste treatments
provide resource recovery, while eliminating the environmental threats posed
by the hazardous waste. Unfortunately, resource recovery options are only
available for a few types of waste streams. Conventional commercial
disposal methods include waste water treatment, thermal destruction,
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal 72
chemical stabilization, and landfilling. Wastewater treatment is the
conventional method for waste streams that consist of water soluble liquids
with limited organic contamination. Thermal destruction is the conventional
treatment method for most organic liquids and solids. Chemical stabilization
is the conventional treatment method for non-ignitable, inorganic solids and
sludges. Both resource recovery and conventional commercial disposal
methods and a description of the types of waste streams capable of being
treated by each method are described in detail in Chapter 3. The Appendix
of this manual outlines an example of the evaluation and disposal process of
unknown drum waste. Chapter 7 describes the requirements for the
evaluation of bulk waste such as tanks, vats, soil and debris. The evaluation
of bulk wastes may only involve limited analysis and conformation data or a
process similar to that for unknown drum waste. Site handling and disposal
options for specialty wastes such as dioxins, PCBs, explosives and
radioactives are discussed in Chapter 8.
Subchapter II: RCRA Hazard and Compatibility Testing of Unknown
Substances for Disposal
Chapter 1 of this manual explains the application of RCRA waste
identification requirements as defined in 40 CFR Part 261. The
characteristic of ignitability applies to wastes with a flash point of less than
140° F, solids that cause fire and burn vigorously, and DOT-regulated
ignitable compressed gasses and oxidizers. The characteristic of corrosivity
applies to wastes with a pH of less than 2 or greater than 12.5. The
characteristic of reactivity applies to wastes that react violently with air or
water, contain reactive cyanides or sulfides, or are explosive.
A waste stream comprises all wastes with the same hazardous,
chemical, and physical characteristics, and which are compatible and will be
treated with the same disposal method. Field testing methods have been
developed to easily obtain the following information on a sample: physical
description of the substance, including all phases, and the ignitability,
corrosivity, water reactivity, oxidizing properties, the presence of sulfides or
cyanides, water solubility, and hexane solubility for each phase. All samples
with the same results from the field testing are most likely physically and
chemically compatible. An additional test of sample compatibility should be
made by mixing together small quantities of separate samples and observing
any reaction. If any type of physical or chemical reaction such as fuming,
heat generation, or chemical precipitation occurs during the mixing operation,
the samples are not compatible. All samples that have the same test results
and are compatible will most likely be treated with the same method of
disposal. The field testing methods used to make site waste stream
determinations are referred to as RCRA hazard characteristic and
compatibility testing or "haz-cat" testing.
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal 73
The foregoing description of haz-cat testing and waste stream
determination may sound simple, but determining waste streams can be
complex. Consider the sample matrix: generally, samples with similar
matrices are considered as one waste stream. For disposal purposes, a
matrix that contains any free-flowing liquids is classified as "liquid".
However, while several samples may be classified as "liquid" on the basis of
their matrices, they may not constitute one waste stream because of variation
between samples in the amount of liquid versus solid and because of
differences in disposal based on this variation. For example, a flammable
sludge with a small amount of liquid should be considered a separate waste
stream from a sample containing a large amount of liquid and a small
percentage of flammable sludge, even though both wastes would be classified
as flammable "liquid". An aqueous mixture containing less than 10 percent
flammable organics is considered flammable. This mixture can be treated
under wastewater treatment technologies. However, an aqueous mixture
containing 11 percent flammable organics must be incinerated under RCRA
LDRs. Thus, the percentage of constituents that produce a RCRA
characteristic may affect the waste stream classification. Judgements such as
these should only be made by an experienced disposal chemist to avoid
misclassification of waste streams.
An example of the application of field testing to waste streams and
disposal technologies is provided in the Appendix of this manual. The
following is a discussion of typical haz-cat procedures for determining waste
streams in the field.

Typical Procedures
NOTE: Sampling techniques may affect the accuracy of waste stream
determinations, whether based on field testing or laboratory analysis; a
representative sample of the container contents to be evaluated is essential.
If sampling is performed incorrectly, all field testing and analysis data may
be invalid. Sample collection procedures as such are outside the scope of
this manual and are not discussed here. Guidance on sampling hazardous
substances may be found in the "Compendium of ERT Waste Sampling
Procedures" (EPA/540/P-9 1/008, OSWER Directive 9360.40-7, January
1991) and in Volume 4, "Waste", of the Superfund Program Representative
Sampling Guidance (EPA/540/R-93/060, OSWER Directive 9360.4-14, May
1993). Observations made during sample collection may contribute
significantly to haz-cat testing, so types of useful observations are discussed
here.
Sample Observations
1. Before sampling, note the type, size, and condition (i.e., the physical
properties) of the container and the visible characteristics of the
contents, as these characteristics are clues to the nature of the contents.
Include any label information.
Crystals on the container may indicate explosive peroxides. If possible,
test crystals directly with oxidizer and peroxide indicators. If positive
oxidizer and peroxide results are obtained, contact reactives/explosive
specialists. DO NOT OPEN OR MOVE THE CONTAINER. Organic
peroxides are powerful, unstable explosives. Friction and/or heat can
detonate organic peroxides.
2. Note visible properties of the representative sample after it is collected.
Be sure to document the percent of the total composition and test
results for each layer and/or phase of a sample.
3. Review air monitoring results obtained from the container prior to
sampling and note possible explanations for readings. Combustible gas
indicators can assist with the identification of ignitable hazards. Flame-

ionization and photo-ionization detector readings may indicate the
possibility of volatile organics.
Note any distinct odors such as the odor of rotten eggs, which indicates
sulfides. *
Haz-cat Field Tests
TEST PARAMETER TEST PROCEDURE
Water Reactivity
Corrosivity
Oxidizer
Peroxide
Place a pea-sized amount of a solid or a dime-sized
pool of a liquid substance on a watch glass.
Wet pH test paper with water and touch the wetted
paper to the substance.
(Heat, fumes, or fire indicate a water reactive sample.
Stop field tests and refer to specialty wastes.)
Compare colors on the pH test strip with the pH
indicator chart. Note the actual pH and assign one of
the following descriptions:
pH 0-3 - corrosive acid, solid or liquid
pH 3-5 - acidic solid or liquid
pH 5-9 - neutral solid or liquid
pH 9-11 - basic solid or liquid
pH 11-14 - corrosive base, solid or liquid
Wet an oxidizer test strip (potassium iodide) with
hydrochloric acid (HC1) and apply to the substance.
A change in color of the entire wetted area of the test
strip to blue, black or purple indicates the substance is
an oxidizer. If the oxidizer test is positive, perform
the peroxide test. If the oxidizer test is negative,
proceed with the solubility tests.
Put a drop of water to the peroxide test strip and
apply the strip to the substance - whether liquid or
solid. Remove the strip and wait at least 15 seconds.
A blue color indicates the presence of peroxides. A
color indicator chart can be used to estimate the
peroxide concentration. If the substance may be an
organic liquid and the first peroxide test is negative,
dip a dry test strip into the substance. Allow the

solvent to evaporate from the test strip and then apply
a drop of water. Wait 15 seconds and note any color
change which indicates the presence of peroxides.
Describe the substance as one of the following:
Organic peroxide, liquid or solid
Oxidizer, liquid or solid
Add a pea-sized amount of a solid or a milliliter of
liquid being tested to 1 milliliter of water in a test
tube. Always add an unknown substance to water,
slowly. Never add water to an unknown. Note any
reaction with the water such as dissolving, floating,
sinking, fuming, or boiling. Dissolving indicates the
substance is a water soluble inorganic or polar organic
substance (such as salts or alcohols). Emulsification
indicates a slightly polar organic (such as a pesticide).
Floating of liquids indicates a non-halogenated non-
polar organic substance (such as an alkane like
hexane). Sinking of liquids indicates a halogenated
non-polar organic such as carbon tetrachloride or
trichloroethene). White curdling is typical of a liquid
plastic resin. Fuming and/or a temperature change is
typical of acids or bases (see corrosivity test).
Proceed with the hexane solubility test.
Add a small amount of the substance being tested to
an equal amount of hexane in a test tube and note the
solubility. Hexane solubility indicates an organic
substance. Hexane insolubility indicates an inorganic
substance.
Proceed with the halogen test.
Clean the copper wire by heating it in a torch flame
until the wire glows red and there is no green color in
the flame. When the cleaned wire has cooled, dip the
wire into the sample for 10 seconds. Apply the wire
coated with the substance to the torch flame and note
flame color. A green flame indicates a halogenated
substance, amine (also basic) or nitrate (also an
oxidizer)
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal 77
If an organic substance tests positive for halogens, the
sample should be tested for PCBs. Commercial kits
are available to test for PCBs in liquids (oils) and in
solids (soils). Directions are available with each kit.
Use the data gained from the halogen test along with
data obtained from the water solubility and hexane
solubility tests to classify the substance according to
the following list:
- Inorganic, liquid, aqueous
(water soluble and hexane insoluble liquid)
- Inorganic, solid
(water soluble, hexane insoluble or water
and hexane insoluble)
- Organic, non-halogenated, liquid or solid
(hexane soluble; may be water soluble, float
on water, or emulsify with water; negative
halogen test)
- Organic, halogenated, liquid or solid,
negative PCB
(hexane soluble; sinks in water or is
water soluble; positive halogen test;
negative PCB test)
- Organic, halogenated, liquid or solid, PCB
(hexane soluble; sinks in water; positive
halogen test; positive PCB test)
Reactive Sulfide
or Cyanide Dilute the 3N hydrochloric acid by slowly adding
equal amounts of the 3N HC1 to water in a test tube.
With a pipet slowly add, one drop at a time, the dilute
HC1 to a small amount of the substance being tested in
another test tube. (Do not add more then 6 drops of
dilute HC1 to 1/2 test tube of substance.)
A yellow color (accompanied by a rotten egg odor)
indicates toxic hydrogen sulfide. Touch a sulfide
indicator paper (lead acetate) to the mixture of acid
and unknown. A change in color of the'test paper to
brown or black is positive for sulfides.
Bubbling or effervescing from a reaction with the
dilute HC1 may indicate the presence of highly toxic
cyanides. Dissolve unknown solids in water. If the
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal 78
unknown solid is not water soluble, do not continue
with this test. In a separate test tube, mix iron citrate
(about 1/4 of the test tube) and a pinch of ferrous
ammonium sulfide. Add the unknown liquid
substance to the test tube to bring the total volume of
the test to 1/2 to 3/4 full. Shake the mixture for 1
minute. Slowly add 5 to 6 drops of 3N HC1. A dark
Prussian blue color indicates cyanides.
Class the substance from the following list:
- Non-sulfide or non-cyanide reactive, solid
or liquid
- Sulfide reactive solid or liquid
- Cyanide reactive solid or liquid
Ignitability Place a pea-sized amount of a solid or a quarter-sized
pool of liquid onto a watch glass. Touch a lighted
match to the surface of the substance.
If the match goes out and the substance does not burn,
the unknown is not ignitable.
If the flame jumps from the match to the substance or
the substance continues to burn when the match is
removed, the unknown is ignitable.
Ignitable liquids are classed as flammable or
combustible. Combustible liquids take longer to ignite
than flammables. Flammables will ignite quickly and
continue to burn. The match must be held to a
combustible to ignite and may require constant heat to
continue to burn.
Solids are classified as flammable or non-flammable.
Flammable solids burn vigorously upon ignition.
Classify the ignitability of the substance as follows:
- Non-ignitable liquid or solid
- Flammable solid
- Flammable liquid
- Combustible liquid
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal 79
Compatibility
Testing Combine individual sample test classifications into one
description for each sample. This sample description
will be a preliminary waste stream description. Be
sure to indicate the characteristics of separate phases
and/or layers of the sample. Multi-phased samples
and single-phased samples represent separate waste
streams. Mix equal amounts of all samples with the
same waste stream classification, adding one sample at
a time. If the addition of a given sample causes a
reaction in the mixture, the sample is incompatible
with the mixture and must be eliminated from this
waste stream. The compatibility mixing must be
restarted at the first sample once the incompatible
sample has. been eliminated.
Preliminary
Waste Streams All samples with similar phases and field testing
descriptions, which are compatible, constitute a
preliminary waste stream.
Subchapter IV: Determination of Treatment Options Based on RCRA
Hazard and Compatibility Testing
The general characterization descriptions obtained from field testing can
be used to determine an appropriate disposal method for each phase of an
unknown substance. A precedence of treatment options for multi-phased
wastes can be developed based on an understanding of the results of each
treatment option and an understanding of RCRA-regulated treatment
requirements. Possible waste classifications from field testing and the likely
treatment option are summarized below. A list of treatment options for
multi-phased waste immediately follows the waste stream summaries.
Conventional waste treatment and disposal options are discussed in detail in
Chapter 3 of this manual. General waste stream properties and
characteristics capable of being treated by a particular method are also
discussed in Chapter 3.
Organic Liquids and Solids
Thermal destruction is the only method capable of destroying
concentrated organic constituents in a waste. Several types of thermal
destruction are available: incineration and fuels blending. Fuels
blending at cement kilns is the most cost effective means of thermal
destruction. Currently, only pumpable organic liquids are acceptable
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal 80
for fuels blending. Substances exhibiting the RCRA characteristics of
corrosivity and.ignitability, metals and oxidizers are usually acceptable
in an organic liquid waste stream for fuels blenders. Sludges,
halogens, pesticides, sulfides and cyanides in organic liquid waste
streams are usually not acceptable for cement kilns.
Commercial incineration is the treatment option of choice for organic
liquid waste streams which are not fuels blendable (i.e., the waste
contains sludges, halogens, pesticides, sulfides or cyanides).
All wastes with greater than 50 ppm of PCBs must be incinerated at a
TSCA-permitted facility. PCBs are covered further in Chapter 8.
Inorganic Solids
Corrosive acid or acidic or neutral, or basic or corrosive base, plus
- water soluble or non-water soluble,
- oxidizer or non-oxidizer,
- sulfide or non-sulfide,
- cyanide or non-cyanide, or ,

Incineration for disposal.
Inorganic Solids

Stabilization or waste water treatment.

Multi-phased Waste - Precedence of Treatment Options
1. Any phase that is ignitable - thermal destruction (with the exception of
aqueous wastes with less than 10 percent organic constituents -
wastewater treatment).
2. Any waste that contains more than 10 percent organic constituents -
thermal destruction.
3. Any waste that contains more than 5 percent halogenated organic
carbon - thermal destruction.
4. Aqueous waste that contains less than 10 percent organics and/or less
than 5 percent halogenated organics - wastewater treatment.
5. Inorganic sludge that contains less than 20 percent water and no
regulated organics - stabilization and landfilling.
6. Inorganic sludge that contains greater than 20 percent water and no
regulated organics; separate solids from liquids - wastewater treatment
for liquids and stabilization and landfilling of the remaining sludge.
7. Inorganic sludge and regulated organics - thermal destruction.
NOTE: Waste,streams are determined by combining similar preliminary
waste stream classification samples according to the appropriately determined
treatment method. For example, field testing results may have indicated an
aqueous sample with an organic sheen and less than 10 percent organics is a
separate waste stream from an aqueous sample with no sheen and less than
10 percent organics. However, the treatment precedence above indicates
these wastes will be disposed of in the same manner. Thus, the wastes may
be combined into a new final waste stream classified as aqueous with less
than 10 percent organic constituents.

Subchapter V: Compositing Waste Stream Samples and Determining the
Appropriate Disposal Analysis
Once waste stream classifications have been established according to
physical properties, hazard characteristics, and chemical compatibility, and
once appropriate treatment options have been established, additional
laboratory analysis may be needed to determine the presence of regulated
constituents and the feasibility of recovery disposal options. Compositing
waste stream samples for detailed laboratory analysis is commonly used to
minimize costs. The following factors must be considered when compositing
waste stream samples for laboratory analysis:
1. Possible treatment methods and required analysis for each
treatment method.
2. . The number of individual samples to be combined,
3. Possible PCB contamination
4. The amount of sample needed to perform the anticipated analysis.
5. The amount of individual samples to be maintained for future
analysis or disposal approval.
Analysis Parameters Based on Characteristics of the Waste and Possible
Treatment Options
Several inexpensive laboratory tests can be performed to rule out the
possibility of certain contaminants or to determine the applicability of a
particular treatment method. Additional, more expensive analyses for
concentrations of particular constituents can then be chosen.
If thermal destruction is the treatment option of choice for a determined
waste stream, then values for percent water, percent solids, total organic
carbon (TOC), total organic halogens (TOX; also known as halogenated
organic carbon or HOC), flash point, boiling point, British thermal units
(BTU), cyanides, sulfides, percent ash, and PCBs are required to determine
the practicability of fuels blending versus incineration. These parameters will
also be required by the disposal facility for calculating cost of disposal. For
thermal destruction, generators's knowledge or total values for volatile
organic compounds (VOC), base-neutral and acid extractables (BNA), and
metals are sufficient to determine the regulated constituents. Values for
TCLP-regulated constituents can be assigned based on the results. The
application of RCRA waste codes based on total dry weight results rarely
affects the pricing for thermal destruction. Pricing is based on the general
parameters that dictate the energy needed to destroy the waste to the required
extent.
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal 83
If wastewater treatment is the treatment option of choice for a
determined waste stream, then values for percent water, percent solids, TOC,
TOX, cyanides, sulfides, pH, and PCBs are usually required by the disposal
facility to determine the practicability of treatment at the particular plant and
to determine pricing. Total metals quantities are usually required for
disposal. If the TOC value times the number of samples composited is less
then 0.01 percent, there is probably no need to perform further organic •
analysis. If the TOC value is greater than 0.01 percent dry weight, then
VOC and BNAs analyses may be required. Remember, for the assignment
of RCRA codes in an aqueous matrix, dry weight analysis results are
equivalent to TCLP results.
If stabilization techniques or landfill are the treatment options of choice
for a determined waste stream, then values for percent water, percent solids,
cyanides, sulfides, pH, and PCBs are required by the disposal facility for
applicability of the treatment or disposal as well as for pricing. TCLP
analysis is required for RCRA-regulated organics and metals unless
information is available that indicates the contaminants of concern are not
present. For example, if Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) analyses
indicate that regulated VOC and BNA compounds are not present, the OSC
has generator's knowledge and analytical results to prove the constituents are
not present at TCLP regulatory levels. Waste codes may be applied from
dry weight results, but pricing for disposal will most likely be affected.
Sample Compositing
Descriptions, or profiles, of wastes streams required by disposal
facilities are general. Therefore, all data obtained for a waste stream should
be reported on a profile as ranges, not as exact figures. The general profile
descriptions of waste streams allow for separate container samples of the
same waste stream to be composited for laboratory analysis. Sample
composites provide the necessary data at the least cost. However, it is
important to understand the effect of compositing samples in relation to the
results obtained and the interpretation of the results as applied to the waste
stream. If a contaminant is present at a regulated level in only one of several
samples composited, dilution of the particular contaminant must be
considered in the interpretation of the analysis of the composite. When a
particular analysis parameter is known, the formula used to determine the
maximum number (n) of samples per composite is:
n = maximum concentration limit (mcl) of the method divided by the
detection limit (dl) of the analysis parameter (dl). n = mcl/dl.
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal 84
For example, the regulatory limit for PCBs is 50 ppm (MCL). If the
analysis method detection limit for PCBs is 1 ppm, the number of samples
that can be composited is 50. However, if 50 samples are composited and
the analytical result for the composite sample is 1 ppm, there is no way to
know whether one sample of the 50 contains 50 ppm of PCBs while the
others contain 0 ppm, or whether the opposite extreme has occurred, each of
the 50 samples contains 1 ppm of PCBs. Thus, it is prudent to limit the
number of samples composited for waste stream analysis to 10. It is also
prudent to maintain the separate individual samples. If the composite sample
indicates a possible contaminant that may significantly affect disposal, then
the individual samples can be analyzed for the contaminant of concern.
Consider a waste stream determined to be an organic halogenated liquid
with possible PCB contamination. Ten samples are composited, and analysis
indicates 10 ppm of PCBs. That is:
10 ppm (composite) = (
where Cn result is the concentration in a particular individual
sample of the 10 samples composited.
In this case, the maximum concentration possible for any one sample is 100
ppm, which is the analytical result multiplied by the total number of samples
composited. The minimum concentration possible for the remaining nine
samples is 0 ppm, assuming the maximum concentration is contained in one
sample (i.e., one sample contains 100 ppm while the remaining nine contain
0 ppm). The proper disposal profile information, based on the data, is the
range PCBs 0 to 100 ppm. If the cost of drum disposal of PCB waste
(exceeding 50 ppm) is $100/drum more than for non-PCB waste and PCB
analysis can be obtained for approximately $50/sample, an OSC may chose
to reevaluate the contents of the individual drum rather than dispose of all
drums as PCB waste.
Consider a waste stream determined to be aqueous and 10 samples are
composited. The analysis of the composite sample shows 0.01 percent (100
ppm) TOC and 99.99 percent water. This information is sufficient to
determine that none of the 10 samples exceeds the definition of RCRA
wastewater (water containing less than 1000 ppm TOC). Thus, further
analysis to identify trace organic contaminants may not be needed.
Once the analysis parameters have been chosen and the number of
samples to be composited per waste stream has been determined, the amount
of sample needed from each container in the waste stream must be
considered. CLP lists are available that give the type of container and
quantity of sample needed to analyze particular parameters. When possible,
a duplicate of each composite should be maintained on site for evaluation
-------
Unknown Drum Wastes: Characterization for Disposal 85
(treatability study, approval study) by the TSD, when determined. A
minimum of one 8-ounce sample from each individual container should also
be maintained in the event additional analysis may be required (16-ounce
samples should be maintained if less than 10 samples per waste stream are
composited).
It should also be noted here that sampling techniques may affect the
accuracy of waste stream determinations from any kind of testing. A
representative sample of the container contents to be evaluated is essential.
If sampling is performed incorrectly, all field testing and analysis data may
be invalid.

CHAPTER 7
WASTE CHARACTERIZATION OF TANKS, VATS,
LAGOONS, EFFLUENT, AND SOIL
As is discussed throughout this manual, a waste is regulated by RCRA
as a hazardous waste if it is specifically listed as a hazardous waste; if it
contains regulated hazardous constituents above a specified concentration; or
if it has been derived from, mixed with or contained in a hazardous waste.
These principles apply to bulk quantitities of wastes found in tanks, vats and
lagoons, and soil, just .as they apply to smaller, non-bulk quantities found in
drums. Because these same principles apply, bulk wastes are characterized
for disposal along essentially the same lines as drummed wastes.
In the case of a bulk container of an unknown substance from an
unknown source, the contents are characterized for disposal utilizing the
same process as is described in Chapter 6 for drum wastes. However, the
initial steps in properly sampling a bulk waste tend to be more elaborate and
critical than in sampling a non-bulk, drummed waste.
The sample or samples collected from any waste must be representative
of the waste and account for any variability in the waste. A drum containing
a liquid can be sampled with a glass tube in such a manner that the sample
obtained is representative of the entire contents of the drum. Unfortunately,
sampling devices are not usually designed to obtain a single representative
sample of a large quantity of waste such as is found in tanks, vats, lagoons,
effluent, or soil piles. Thus, several samples from different locations within
a bulk waste must be collected and composited to obtain a representative
sample and to account for variability in the waste. Just as with drums,
different layers of contaminants and physical phases in a bulk quantity of
waste must be recognized and sampled to determine proper treatment and/or
disposal. Different physical phases, such as a sludge and a liquid, within a
container must initially be evaluated as separate waste streams. All
contaminant layers in a bulk quantity of waste can usually be composited for
disposal analysis. Interpretation of results obtained from a composite sample
is discussed in detail in Chapter 6. An example of analysis data
interpretation for composited waste samples is available in the example
outlined in the Appendix,
-------
Waste Characterizations of Tanks, Vats, Lagoons, Effluent, and Soil 88
The OSWER publication Solid Waste 846 (SW-846) "Test Methods for
Evaluation of Solid Waste" provides guidance to both the method and number
of samples to collect from tanks, effluent, lagoons and soils in order to
obtain verifiable representative waste analysis results.
In the case of bulk quantities of wastes in tanks, vats, lagoons and
effluent generated in process manufacturing facilities, RCRA regulatory
classifications for manufacturing process waste can usually be assigned
without sample characterization and analysis. The initial step in evaluating
bulk quantities of waste from manufacturing facilities for disposal (see
Chapter 1 - RCRA) is review of the "U" and "P" waste codes assigned to
discarded commercial chemical products, off-specification species, and
container residues; of the "K" codes assigned to specific source wastes; and
of the "F" codes assigned to general process, non-specific source wastes.
RCRA land disposal restrictions and available waste treatment
technologies can be evaluated based on the RCRA hazardous waste
classification. It is important to note that regardless of how the waste is
classified and the amount of information known about the source of the
waste, representative samples of a RCRA-classified waste are still needed to
profile the waste properly for treatment and disposal. The type of analysis
required to profile a RCRA-classified waste depends on the classification and
the treatment technologies available for the waste. Often, representative
samples of RCRA-classified waste can be analyzed by the TSDs considered
for disposal as part of the treatability study included in the profile fee. These
TSD treatability studies usually include general analysis parameters such as
percent water and solids, total organic carbon, total halogenated organic
carbon, flash point, and fuel value as discussed in Chapter 6 for specific
characterized waste streams and treatment methods. The need for more
elaborate and expensive analyses to determine the concentration of specific
contaminants should be based upon the RCRA classification, treatment
standards, the type of treatment selected, and the results of the general
parameter analyses.
Soil contamination resulting from a spill or release of a hazardous
substance can be classified under RCRA regulations as a "derived from"
waste. Thus, all waste codes and associated treatment standards that would
have applied to the released substance or waste are applied to the area of
contamination. Since the transportation and off-site treatment of large
volumes of contaminated soil are expensive, the feasibility of on-site
treatment options to mitigate the threat should be explored. With on-site
treatment of soil, CERCLA clean-up standards defined for the site by
Regional EPA officials take precedence over RCRA off-site disposal
-------
Waste Characterizations of Tanks, Vats, Lagoons, Effluent, and Soil 89
regulations. Proper sampling and analysis for the treatability study to
determine effectiveness of an on-site treatment option is essential. Again, the
EPA guidance SW-846 should be consulted to determine the procedures and
methods to obtain representative samples for the waste evaluation and
treatability study.

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

In order to achieve the chemically compatible requirements, lab
wastes of the same DOT hazard class may need to be segregated
according to additional physical and chemical properties. Following is a
list of potential sub-segregation criteria for lab packs:
Class 3 Flammable liquids: organic or inorganic
Class 4.1 Flammable solids: organic or inorganic
Class 4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials
Solids: organic or inorganic
Liquids: organic or inorganic
Class 4.3 Dangerous when wet
Packing group I: lab pack forbidden
Solids: organic or inorganic
Liquids: organic or inorganic
Class 5.1 Oxidizers: solid or liquid
Class 6.1 Poisonous materials
Packing group I: lab pack forbidden
Solids: organic or inorganic
Liquids: organic or inorganic
Class 8 Corrosive materials
Solid organic: acid or base
Solid inorganic: acid or base
Liquid organic: acid or base
Liquid inorganic : acid or base
Class 9 Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials
Liquids: organic or inorganic
Solids: organic or inorganic
As an alternative to otherwise applicable RCRA hazardous waste
treatment standards or land disposal restrictions, lab packs are eligible to
be incinerated at a RCRA-approved facility. The ash from the
incineration of authorized lab packs is only subject to D004, D005,
D006, D007, D008, D010, and D011 (TCLP metal wastes) land disposal
restrictions. Hazardous wastes eligible for this exemption must be placed
in an organometallic or an organic lab pack. Appendix IV of 40 CFR
268 lists RCRA codes for wastes that are authorized to be placed in an
-------
Specialty Wastes
93
organometallic lab pack; Appendix V of 40 CFR 268 lists RCRA codes
for wastes that are authorized to be placed in an organic lab pack. Thus,
laboratory wastes must be segregated according to the DOT-authorized
hazard class, chemical compatibility and the applicable RCRA hazardous
waste classifications to be considered for both DOT and RCRA lab pack
exemptions.
The final consideration for the proper segregation and packaging
of laboratory-sized waste containers is TSD-specific requirements. The
TSD's RCRA permit for treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes
affects the types of wastes the facility may accept. Although waste may
be packaged properly for DOT and RCRA lab pack exemptions, the
facility may not be permitted to treat a particular container within a lab
pack drum. Such a situation would result in the rejection of the entire lab
pack drum from the TSD.
The standard operating procedures at a TSD may also affect lab
pack procedures. Most facilities have developed special packaging
requirements for wastes with hazard characteristics that are difficult to
handle. Examples of wastes that often require special packaging
requirements include: sulfur and cyanide compounds, ethers, oxidizers,
alkali metals, bromine and iodine, silanes, air or water reactive materials,
lacrimators and other dangerous fire or explosion risk materials.' Thus, to
ensure compliance with both regulatory and facility lab pack
requirements, TSDs generally require their own personnel to package
laboratory wastes at a customer site.
If a TSD cannot be contracted to perform lab pack operations at a
site in the time frame needed, site personnel could segregate lab wastes
according to lab pack regulatory standards. Segregation of wastes
according to lab pack standards would reduce the threat of adverse
reactions between incompatible wastes and would reduce the time and
costs associated with final lab pack by a commercial TSD.
Subchapter II: Dioxins and Dibenzofurans
Dioxins are any chemical compounds with the molecular structure
where X represents possible hydrogen, bromine, or chlorine substitution
positions (Figure 8-1).
2,3,7,8-tetra chloro dibenzo-p-dioxin, or TCDD, has the chemical
structure seen in Figure 8-2.

Halogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins, HDDs, are any dioxins that have
the 2, 3, 7, and 8 positions occupied by chlorine or bromine. Other
positions may be occupied by chlorine or bromine as well.
Dibenzofurans are any chemical compound with the molecular
structure shown in Figure 8-3 where X represents possible hydrogen,
bromine, or chlorine substitution positions.
Halogenated dibenzofurans, HDFs, are any dibenzofurans that
have the 2, 3, 7, and 8 positions occupied by chlorine or bromine. Other
positions may be occupied by chlorine or bromine as well.
RCRA regulates dioxins and dibenzofurans under waste codes
F020, F021, F023, F026, F027, and F028. The codes are specific to
wastes generated from the production and manufacturing use of
chlorophenols and chlorobenzenes; to wastes generated from discarded
unused formulations of chlorophenols; and to residues from the treatment
of soil contaminated with F020, F021, F023, F026 and F027 wastes.
Specifically listed hazardous constituents of these wastes include
tetra-, penta-, and hexa-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans; and
tri-, tetra- and penta-chlorophenols and their chlorophenoxy derivative
acids, esters, ethers, amines and other salts.

RCRA further requires incinerators to achieve a 99.9999 percent
destruction removal efficiency for the principle organic hazardous
constituents of dioxin-bearing wastes. Although commercial incinerators
have performed test burns to determine their destruction removal
efficiency, only a few commercial TSDs are available to accept waste
containing greater than one part per billion HDDs or HDFs for treatment
and disposal.
On-site chemical reaction, photodegradation, bioremediation, and
incineration with an EPA-approved mobile incinerator have been used on
Superfund sites to reduce HDD and HDF contamination of soil and
debris.
Subchapter IH: Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
Regulatory Definitions and Disposal Requirements of PCBs and PCB
Items
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are chemical compounds that
consist of a chlorinated biphenyl molecule as pictured in Figure 8-4.
"X" indicates possible chlorine or hydrogen positions on the

PCBs and PCB items. TSCA definitions of types of PCB wastes that are
commonly found at Superfund removal projects are as follows:
PCB substances include but are not limited to, dielectric fluids,
contaminated solvent, oils, waste oils, heat transfer fluids,
hydraulic fluids, paints, sludges, slurries, dredge spoils, soils,
materials contaminated as a result of spill, and other chemical
substances or a combination of substances that contain PCBs.
PCB articles are manufactured articles that contain PCBs and
whose surfaces have been in direct contact with PCBs. PCB
articles may include capacitors, transformers, electrical motors,
pumps and pipes.
PCB containers are packages that contain PCBs or PCB articles,
but whose surface has not been in direct contact with PCBs.
PCB-contaminated electrical equipment (also called a PCB
article) includes any electrical equipment that contains between 50
to 500 ppm PCBs. Examples are transformers, capacitors, circuit
breakers, reclosures, voltage regulators, switches, electromagnets
and cable.
PCB equipment means manufactured items, not including
containers, that contain a PCB article such as microwave ovens or
fluorescent light ballasts and fixtures.
PCB transformers (also called PCB articles) are transformers that
contain greater than 500 ppm PCBs.
Non-PCB transformers are transformers that contain less than 50
ppm PCBs. (Note: Transformers that contain 50 to 500 ppm
PCBs are regulated as PCB-contaminated electrical equipment.)
Authorized disposal of PCBs depends on the type of PCB waste, the
physical state of the waste (solid or liquid) and the concentration of PCBs
in the waste. The terms "chemical landfill," "incinerator" and "boiler"
used in this chapter refer to disposal options at TSCA-permitted facilities.

container. The solvent may be reused until it contains 50
ppm PCB. The rinsate, when no longer useful, is disposed
of as a PCB substance.
2. Any PCB container that held PCBs in a concentration of less
than 500 ppm is disposed of as a municipal solid waste,
provided any free-flowing liquids have been drained and
disposed of as PCB substances.
Disposal of PCB spills
1. Spills and other uncontrolled discharges of PCBs at
concentrations greater than 50 ppm constitute unlawful
disposal.
2. PCBs resulting from the clean-up or removal of spills, leaks,
or other^uncontrolled discharges must be disposed of as PCB
substances.
Note: TSCA established a PCB Spill Clean-Up Policy as a
guidance for Responsible Parties in the event of a PCB release.
The EPA determines the extent and adequacy of a PCB clean-
up. Additional information on the PCB Clean-Up Policy can
be referenced in 40 CFR sections 761.120 through 761.135.

Proper packaging, marking, labeling, manifesting, and record keeping
requirements for the transportation of pcbs and pcb items off-site for
storage and disposal
TSCA, DOT and OSHA regulations govern the types of containers
that may properly be used for the transportation and storage of PCB
wastes. TSCA packaging regulations for PCBs are specified in 40 CFR
761.65 (c). TSCA packaging regulations also reference OSHA packaging
regulations specified in 29 CFR 1910.106, "Flammable and Combustible
Liquids". DOT packaging regulations for PCBS are specified in the 49
CFR sections 172.102 (9), 172.102 (N81), 173.155, 173.202, and
173.241. In general, PCB liquids should be packaged in DOT-approved
steel drums with a closed head (UN 1A1) and PCB solids (such as
contaminated soil or debris) should be packaged in DOT-approved steel
drums with an open head (UN 1A2). All PCB packaging regulations
provide for the use of alternate containers,if necessary, that protect
against leaks and exposure to the environment. In some cases, a PCB
article may itself be used as a transportation and storage package. If
DOT-specified drums for PCB liquids and solids are impractical, the
DOT and TSCA regulations must be referenced for further guidance.
All PCB articles and containers, storage areas, and transportation
vehicles, which have been loaded with one or more PCB transformers or
with more than 45 kilograms of PCBs in the liquid phase, must be
properly marked according to TSCA regulations. Two types of PCB
markings are defined by TSCA. The large PCB mark is referred to as
ML and is depicted in Figure 8-5. ML must be 6 inches by 6 inches if the
item can accommodate the size. ML may be reduced to a minimum of 2
inches by 2 inches. If the PCB item can not accommodate the 2 square
inch ML, the small PCB mark, Ms, must be used. Ms is depicted in
Figure 8-6. The standard Ms is 1 inch by 2 inches. Ms may be reduced
to 0.4 inches by 0.8 inches if necessary.
In addition to DOT hazardous materials marking requirements
discussed in Chapter 2 of this manual, each package that contains PCB
waste for off-site storage and disposal must also be marked with a unique
identifying number, the date the PCBs or PCB articles became waste, and
a description of the type of PCB waste (contaminated soil, transformer
oil, capacitors, etc). The serial number, if available, on a transformer or
capacitor should be used as the unique identifying number. Most PCB
waste can be shipped by ground transportation with the following

A DOT Class 9 label would be required on the package with the
use of the above shipping description.
A manifest must be used as the shipping paper for PCB wastes.
The manifest is obtained and completed in the same manner as is
described in Chapter 2 of this manual with a few additional requirements.
In addition to the proper shipping description, container type and amount
of waste, the type of waste, the unique identifying numbers for each
container listed on a manifest line, and the date the PCB items were
determined to be waste must also be included on the manifest.
Finally, the designated TSD must return a signed copy of the
manifest to the generator within 35 days of shipment. Upon receipt of
the signed manifest, the generator must contact the TSD within one
business day to confirm the receipt of the waste. Disposal facilities are
further required to provide the generator with a Certificate of Disposal
within 30 days of the date the PCB waste was actually disposed of. The
Certificates of Disposal indicate the date and disposal process used for
each waste manifested to the facility.
Subchapter IV: Explosive and Shock Sensitive Substances
An explosive substance is any material that undergoes change such
as to cause the extremely rapid release of gas and heat. A mass
explosion is a blast that affects almost the entire load instantaneously.
Shock waves generated by the blast, fragment projectiles and fire are the
hazards associated with explosive substances.
A large variety of chemical compounds present explosion hazards.
Many organic nitro, nitroso and nitroamine compounds; nitrates;
fulminates; azides; chlorates; perchlorates; picrates; picryl, picric
compounds, and organic peroxides are explosive. A large variety of
other chemicals form unstable, shock sensitive, explosives upon exposure
to air and/or light. Some examples of compounds that form unstable
explosives are isopropyl ether, ethyl ether, vinyl ethers, dioxanes,
tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexene, butadiene, styrene monomer, vinyl acetate
monomer, potassium amide and sodium amide.
The hazardous properties of all substances discovered on a site
must be researched before the on-set of site operations. The handling of
explosive and shock sensitive wastes is extremely dangerous and should
only be attempted by trained specialists with the appropriate equipment.

Specialty Wastes 102
Upon discovery of suspected explosive wastes on a site, the local
bomb squad should be contacted to evaluate the situation. Local bomb
squads are often capable of transporting small quantities of explosives to
a detonation site for disposal. If the local bomb squad is unable to
properly handle and dispose of the material, the feasibility of on-site
treatment or on-site detonation can be evaluated. DOT regulations forbid
the transportation of many unstable explosive materials. Thus, the option
of off-site disposal of explosive wastes at a commercial TSD is limited.
On-site detonation is complicated by the need for proper
geographical and environmental conditions, safety concerns, pre-
detonation and post-detonation sampling and analysis to evaluate
decomposition products, and permit requirements. On-site detonations
can only be performed by specialists with a blasting license.
On-site treatment involves the stabilization of the material for
transportation and off-site disposal. Most explosive compounds can be
stabilized by dissolving the substance in a suitable solvent. The resulting
mixture can then be safety transported to a RCRA-permitted TSD for
incineration. Oh-site treatment should only be performed by specialists
with remote opening equipment. Opening a container of an explosive
material generates friction; friction can detonate unstable explosive
compounds.
Subchapter V: Radioactive Wastes
Radioactive substances emit three types of atomic energy: alpha
particles, beta particles and gamma rays. Alpha particles are identical to
the nucleus of a helium atom and are considered to be large atomic
particles. Alpha particles travel less than an inch from the source and
can be blocked with a sheet of paper. Beta particles, which are electrons
from an atom, travel a few inches and can be blocked with a sheet of
aluminum foil. Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves that travel large
distances and can penetrate even dense material.
Survey instruments available to screen for radiation on a site
measure milli-Roentgens/hour (mR/hr). A Roetogen is a radiation dose
unit in air. Typical background gamma radiation is 0.02 mR/hr. EPA
protocol dictates that when radiation levels exceed three to five times
background level, personnel must leave the area and the Regional
Radiation Safety Officer must be contacted to evaluate the site conditions
and determine proper employee protection and monitoring requirements to
comply with worker safety regulations. The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) regulates worker exposure to radiation on a short-
term basis (less than a day), a yearly basis, and a lifetime exposure basis.
-------
Specialty Wastes 103
RCRA regulations under the EPA specifically exclude radioactive
source, special nuclear and by-product materials as defined by the Atomic
Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended, from solid and hazardous waste
regulations. The NRC regulates radioactive wastes under the AEA.
However, both the EPA under RCRA and the NRC under AEA regulate
"mixed wastes." Mixed wastes are defined as radioactive wastes that
contain a RCRA-regulated hazardous waste component. The.radioactive
component within a mixed waste is subject to AEA regulations, while the
hazardous waste components are subject to RCRA regulations. RCRA
regulations of the hazardous waste component of a mixed waste also
include land disposal restrictions. If RCRA and AEA regulations are
inconsistent, AEA regulations under the NRC take precedence. NRC
regulations under the AEA can be referenced in 10 CFR.
Several commercial TSDs are authorized under both RCRA and
AEA to treat and dispose of low level mixed wastes. The Regional
Radiation Safety Officer and Radioactive wastes specialists must be
consulted prior to treatment and disposal of radioactive or mixed wastes.

Site Waste Evaluations, Characterizations and Classifications
In this example, nine drums are discovered near mile marker 555 on Route 621 in
Superfund, Philadelphia County, VA. Drum numbers are assigned and container information is
documented. A representative sample is collected from each drum (See Chapter 5 for proper
sampling guidance). The drum samples are then evaluated using field haz-cat testing procedures
(see Chapter 6, Subchapter III). Container information, sample testing results and haz-cat

Determination of Preliminary Waste Streams
Small quantities of samples having the same haz-cat waste classification are mixed to
determine chemical compatibility and preliminary wastes streams (see Chapter 6, Subchapter III).
All samples with the same Haz-Cat classifications that are chemically compatible are assigned to
a preliminary waste stream.
Single phase, inorganic, corrosive acid liquid samples (drums 01 and 02) are determined
to be compatible, and the preliminary waste stream description single phase, inorganic corrosive
acid liquid. 100% is assigned to drums 01 and 02.
Inorganic corrosive acid oxidizer. liquid. 100% is the preliminary waste stream
description for drum 03; none of the other drums meet this classification.
Inorganic, corrosive base, liquid/sludge samples (drums 04 and 05) are determined to be
compatible, and the preliminary waste stream description inorganic, corrosive base liquid/sludge
(50 - 80% liquid. 20 - 50% solids') is assigned to drums 04 and 05.
Organic, flammable liquid samples (drums 06 an 07) are determined to be compatible, and
the preliminary waste stream description single phase, organic, flammable liquid. 100% is
assigned to drums 06 and 07.
Organic. 80% flammable liquid. 20% combustible liquid is the preliminary waste stream
description for drum 08; none of the other drums meet this classification.
-------
Appendix - Example of Disposal Evaluation and Handling Procedures for Unknown Wastes A-5
Bilayer organic liquid. 80% combustible liquid. 20% halogenated liquid (possible PCS) is the
preliminary waste stream description for drum 09; none of the other drums meet this
classification.
Treatment Options Based on Preliminary Waste Stream Determinations
Treatment options are evaluated for each preliminary waste stream description (see
Chapter 6, Subchapter IV) for treatment option selections. Preliminary waste stream descriptions
and associated treatments for this site are as follows:

Determination of Final Waste Stream Descriptions Based on Treatment Technologies. (See
Chapter 6, Subchapter IV)
Because the descriptions of drums 06, 07, and 08 are similar for disposal purposes and
because they will each undergo the same treatment, samples of drums 06, 07, and 08 are tested
for compatibility. The tests show that these samples are chemically compatible, and so the
-------
Appendix - Example of Disposal Evaluation and Handling Procedures for Unknown Wastes A-6
preliminary waste stream descriptions for these samples are combined into a new waste steam
description: Organic flammable/combustible liquids (80 - 100% flammable liquid. 0 - 20%
combustible liquid). No other preliminary waste stream descriptions can be combined based on
treatment standard, thus all other preliminary waste stream descriptions become final waste
stream descriptions.
Selection of Disposal Analysis Parameters
Analysis parameter are selected based on the waste stream description, the treatment option for
the waste stream description and characteristics of the waste (see Chapter 6, Subchapter V).
Analysis parameters for the wastes in this example are as follows:
Inorganic, corrosive acid, liquids, 100%
Sample SC001 (drums 01 and 02)
Waste water treatment
Analysis parameters: % water, % solids, TOC, TOX, CN-, S-, pH, PCBs, total

Enough sample from each drum is then collected to obtain one 16-ounce sample and two
8-ounce samples for each waste stream. The 16-ounce waste stream sample (a composite sample
for waste streams containing several drums) is sent to a laboratory to obtain the needed analysis
results. The 8-ounce waste stream samples are maintained to meet future facility treatability
study and/or additional laboratory analysis requirements.

DOT Shipping Descriptions, Labels, Markings, and Packaging (See Chapter 2)
The DOT Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) in 49 CFR 172.101 is consulted to
determine the proper shipping name, labels, and packaging references for each waste stream (See
Chapter 2, Subchapter II for shipping names and use the HMT; see Chapter 2 Subchapter III for
packaging regulations). Additional container marking requirements for each waste stream are
also listed below (See Chapter 2, Subchapter IV).
Waste stream: Inorganic corrosive liquids, Drums 01 and 02

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

Appendix - Example of Disposal Evaluation and Handling Procedures for Unknown Wastes A-32
Waste Transportation: Manifesting, Land Disposal Restriction Notifications, Waste
Segregation
Once the designated TSD approves the waste streams and a shipment date is established, a
permitted transporter must be contracted. A permitted transporter must have an EPA transporter
ID number. Many states also require a hazardous waste transporter permit. If a state requires a
waste transporter's permit, the truck must have the permit number displayed to haul the waste in
that state.
DOT also requires certain wastes to be segregated on a transport vehicle (see Chapter 2,
Subchapter IV). In this example, there are no segregation restrictions for corrosive liquids and
flammable liquids on the same transport vehicle.
A hazardous waste manifest and land disposal restriction notifications must accompany each
shipment of hazardous waste (see Chapter 2, Subchapter V, for manifest requirements,
and Chapter 1, Subchapter II, for LDR notification requirements).
Several things should be noted on the attached uniform hazardous waste manifest used in this
example. First, the example is a uniform hazardous waste manifest and not a state specific
manifest. If the state in which the designated facility is located prints a manifest, that manifest
must be used. If the designated facility's state does not print a manifest, but the state the site is
located in (the generator's) state prints a manifest, the generator's state manifest must be used. If
neither the receiving state nor the generator's state print manifests, a uniform hazardous waste
manifest is used. State manifests may require additional information, but will always require as a
minimum the same information as does the uniform hazardous waste manifest.
Second, section 3 of the manifest requests the generator's mailing address. This may be
different from the site address. For EPA-funded removal actions, the mailing address is the EPA
Regional office. Be sure to add the OSC's name and mail code. The site location can be added
under "State Generator's ID" in Region III, because Region III states do not require a State
Generator's ID number in addition to the U.S. EPA ID number. The addition of the site location
is helpful to ensure all parties realize that the site waste was generated in and transported from is
different from the generator's mailing address.
Third, all manifests require the generator to assign a unique five digit document number to
each manifest. In this example, 93001 and 93002 are used as the document numbers for each
manifest. Such a system represents the year (93) and the chronological manifest number used in
the year (001 and 002). Regardless of the document number assigned, a system should be used
to help track waste shipments for record keeping purposes.
Fourth, different containers holding for the same waste stream, with the same shipping
description require different manifest lines. A poly drum and a metal drum of the same waste
would require two separate lines to describe the waste. Allowed abbreviations for containers are
usually printed on the back of a manifest. Instructions for the completion of a uniform hazardous
waste manifest is included in this example. Container type DF describes fiberboard or plastic
drums, barrels, and kegs. Container type DM describes metal drums, barrels and kegs.
-------
Appendix - Example of Disposal Evaluation and Handling Procedures for Unknown Wastes A-33
Fifth, disposal facilities require the profile numbers (approval numbers) to be added to the
manifest for waste tracking and record keeping purposes. The profile number for a waste stream
can be added in section J (additional descriptions for materials) along with additional waste codes
not listed in section I of the manifest, and emergency response information. In this example the
DOT Emergency Response Guide book (ERG) number is referenced for each shipping description
to meet hazard communication requirements.
Finally, section 15 of the manifest (special handling instruction and additional information)
provides space for the required 24 hour emergency contact number and any additional
information that may aid in a transportation incident or spill.
RCRA requires the generator to provide Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) information with
each shipment of waste. Commercial facilities will generally provide the generator with a form
to meet this requirement. A specific TSD's LDR notification form is used in this manual as an
example. Again, the use of a facility's form in this manual in no way endorses or recommends
that particular facility. A separate land disposal restriction notification must be completed for
each waste stream manifested. The manifest number must be included on the LDR notification
and the profile number included for record keeping purposes.
Manifest Tracking and Certifications of Receipt
Copies of the manifests that have been signed and dated on the day of shipment by the
generator (OSC) and the transporter are mailed to the generator state and the receiving state
following shipment. Upon receipt and acceptance of the waste at the facility, an authorized
person will sign the manifest and supply the generator and the applicable states with a facility
signed copy of the manifest (certification of receipt). If the OSC does not receive a facility
signed copy of the manifest within 35 days of the shipment, it is the OSC's responsibility to
determine the location and status of the waste shipment (see Chapter 1, Subchapter III).

Biennial Report and Notification of Waste Activity Reports
All waste generators must file a report with the generator's state on EPA Form 8700-13A
(biennial report) by March 1 of each even numbered year to document the waste activities of the
previous two years. Detailed instructions for completion are available with the biennial report
forms and thus are not detailed in this manual.
Last, but not least, when a site is completed and no additional waste disposal is anticipated,
the OSC should file a Notification of Regulated Waste Activity Report with the generator's state.
The submission of this report notifies the state that no additional waste generation and disposal
are anticipated at the site and completes the record keeping process.
