1.0 INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is
establishing best demonstrated available technology (BOAT) treatment standards
for the listed hazardous waste identified in Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations. Section 261.32 (40 CFR 261.32) as K083, distillation bottoms from
the production of aniline. These BOAT treatment standards are being
established in accordance with the amendments to the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, enacted by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amend-
ments (HSWA) of November 8, 1984. BOAT treatment standards will be effective
no later than May 8, 1990, and on or after the effective date, compliance with
these BOAT treatment standards will be a prerequisite under 40 CFR Part 268
for placement of the waste in land disposal units.
This background document provides the Agency's rationale and techni-
cal support for selecting constituents for regulation in K083 and for
developing treatment standards for these constituents. The document also
provides waste characterization data that serve as a basis for determining
whether a variance from a treatment standard may be warranted for a particular
type of K083 that is more difficult to treat than the wastes that were ana-
lyzed in developing treatment standards for K083.
The Agency's legal authority and promulgated methodology for estab-
lishing treatment standards and the petition process necessary for requesting
a variance from the treatment standards are summarized in EPA's Methodology
for Developing BOAT Treatment Standards (Reference 1).
Under 40 CFR 261.32, wastes identified as K083 are listed as
distillation bottoms from aniline production. The four-digit Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) code associated with the production of
nitrobenzene is 2865 (Industrial Organic Chemicals: cyclic crudes, cyclic
intermediates, dyes, and organic pigments). The Agency estimates that there
are six domestic facilities that may generate K083.
1-1
-------
The Agency is revising the "No Land Disposal Based on No Generation"
treatment standard that was published for nonwastewater forms of K083 on
August 17, 1988 and is establishing treatment standards for wastewater forms
of K083, which have been subject to the "soft hammer" provisions of Section
3004(g)(6) of RCRA. The "No Land Disposal" standard for K083 nonwastewaters
(containing <0.01% by weight ash) was based on the premise that current waste
treatment processes do not generate K083 residuals requiring land disposal.
The Agency believes that this standard should be revised for several reasons:
(1) a facility intending to manufacture aniline in the future using a process
that generates distillation bottoms would be forced to apply for a variance
from the "No Land Disposal" treatment standard (40 CFR 268.44); (2) a facility
disposing of K083 from past aniline manufacturing operations as part of a
corrective action would also be forced to apply for a variance from the
treatment standard; and (3) a facility changing its treatment process from one
that does not generate treatment residuals to one that may generate residuals
would be forced to apply for a variance from the treatment standard.
The Agency is regulating six organic constituents and one metal
constituent in nonwastewater forms of K083, and seven organic constituents and
one metal constituent in wastewater forms of K083. To determine the
applicability of the treatment standards, wastewaters are defined as wastes
containing less than 1% (weight basis) total suspended solids1 (TSS) and less
than 1% (weight basis) total organic carbon (TOC). Wastes not meeting this
definition are classified as nonwastewaters and must comply with nonwastewater
treatment standards.
The Agency does not have any performance data for treatment of K083.
Treatment performance tests for this waste have not been pursued because the
'The term "total suspended solids" (TSS) clarifies EPA's previously used
terminology of "total solids" and "filterable solids." Specifically, total
suspended solids is measured by Method 209C (total suspended solids dried at
103-105°C) in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater.
Sixteenth Edition (Reference 2).
1-2
-------
Agency believes that adequate treatment performance data are available from
similar wastes previously tested by the BOAT Land Disposal Restrictions
Program. Therefore, treatment performance data were transferred to K083 from
other previously tested wastes.
For organic constituents in nonwastewater forms of K083, BOAT
treatment standards are based on treatment performance data transferred from
incineration of RCRA Blend waste that was co-treated with K019 (Reference 3).
For metal constituents in nonwastewater forms of K083, BOAT treatment
standards are based on treatment performance data transferred from
stabilization of F024 incinerator ash.
For wastewater forms of K083, BDAT treatment standards are based on
wastewater treatment performance data transferred from wastes judged to be
similar. The Agency prefers, whenever possible, to use wastewater treatment
data from well-designed and well-operated wastewater treatment units rather
than to base wastewater treatment standards on constituent concentrations in
incinerator scrubber water. EPA has compiled a database of wastewater
treatment data for use in establishing treatment standards for wastewater
forms of U and P wastes and multi-source leachate. These data, compiled from
a variety of sources, were transferred on a constituent-by-constituent basis
to K083 organic constituents. For K083 metals, EPA transferred treatment
performance data from chemical precipitation followed by vacuum filtration of
K062 mixed with metal-bearing characteristic hazardous wastes.
Tables 1-1 and 1-2 at the end of this section list the BDAT treat-
ment standards for nonwastewater and wastewater forms of K083, respectively.
These treatment standards are based on the total concentration of each
constituent in the waste for organic constituents, and on the TCLP analysis
for metal constituents in nonwastewaters. The units used for total
constituent concentration of organic constituents are mg/kg (parts per million
on a weight-by-weight basis) for K083 nonwastewaters, and mg/1 (parts per
million on a weight-by-volume basis) for K083 wastewaters. The units used for
1-3
-------
TCLP analysis of nonwastewaters are mg/1 (parts per million on a weight-
by-volume basis). If the concentrations of the constituents regulated in K083
nonwastewaters and wastewaters, as generated, are lower than or are equal to
the treatment standards, then treatment of the waste would not be required
prior to "land disposal," as defined by 40 CFR Part 268.
This background document presents waste-specific information on the
number and locations of facilities that may be affected by the land disposal
restrictions for K083, the processes generating this waste, the waste charac-
terization data, the technologies used to treat the waste (or similar wastes,
if any), and the treatment performance data on which the treatment standards
are based (Sections 2.0 - 4.0). This document also explains how EPA
determines BOAT, selects constituents to be regulated, and calculates treat-
ment standards (Sections 5.0 - 7.0).

2.0 INDUSTRY AFFECTED AND WASTE CHARACTERIZATION
This section describes the industries that may be affected by the
land disposal restrictions for K083, the processes generating the waste, and
the available waste characterization data. All tables and figures are
presented at the end of this section.
2.1 Industry Affected and Process Description
Under 40 CFR Part 261.32, K083 is defined as distillation bottoms
from the production of aniline. The Agency estimates that there are approxi-
mately six potential generators of K083, which are identified by location and
EPA region in Table 2-1.
There are several commercial processes used for the production of
aniline, including vapor- or liquid-phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene, iron
reduction of nitrobenzene, and vapor-phase ammonolysis of phenol. Vapor-phase
hydrogenation of nitrobenzene is the most widely used method in the United
States.
2.1.1 Vapor-Phase Hvdrogenation of Nitrobenzene
As illustrated in Figure 2-1, nitrobenzene is vaporized in a stream
of hydrogen and fed to the reactor, where it is reduced to aniline in the
presence of a catalyst (copper, nickel, vanadium, or cobalt). The reaction
products are condensed, and the unreacted hydrogen is recycled. The condensed
product stream is sent to a separator. The upper layer is pumped to an
aniline extractor. The lower layer is purified in a two-step distillation
process into the aniline product. The heavy ends or distillation bottoms from
the refined aniline column constitute the listed waste K083.
2-1
-------
2.1.2 Liquid-Phase Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene
The liquid-phase process, as shown in Figure 2-2, uses a catalyst
suspended in liquid nitrobenzene and liquid hydrogen to produce aniline.
Aniline is then purified by distillation. Bottoms from distillation comprise
the listed waste K083.
2.1.3 Iron Reduction of Nitrobenzene
The Bechamp process, as illustrated in Figure 2-3, reduces nitro-
benzene in the presence of iron fillings with ferrous chloride solution to
produce aniline. The product stream is neutralized with lime and is sent to a
separator. The organic phase containing aniline is withdrawn while the
remaining separator solution is sent to residual aniline recovery and iron
oxide production. The organic phase is sent to a stripper, where water is
removed. A final distillation produces aniline. The distillation bottoms
constitute the listed waste K083.
2.1.4 Vapor-Phase Ammonolvsis of Phenol
Vapor-phase ammonolysis of phenol to produce aniline is illustrated
in Figure 2-4. Phenol and ammonia are vaporized and combined in a reactor
with a silica-alumina catalyst. The reaction products are passed through a
distillation column, where ammonia is recovered and recycled and water is
removed. The organic stream from the distillation column is sent to a drying
column where additional water is removed. Product aniline and phenol (to
recycle) are removed from a final finishing column. Distillation bottoms from
the finishing column comprise the listed waste K083.

3.0 APPLICABLE AND DEMONSTRATED TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES
This section discusses the technologies that are applicable to
treatment of K083 nonwastewaters and wastewaters and determines which, if any,
of the applicable technologies can be considered demonstrated for the purpose
of establishing BOAT.
To be applicable, a technology must theoretically be usable to treat
the waste in question or a waste that is similar in terms of parameters that
affect treatment selection. (Detailed descriptions of technologies that are
applicable to listed hazardous wastes are provided in EPA's Treatment Technol-
ogy Background Document (Reference 9).) To be demonstrated, a technology must
be employed in full-scale operation for treatment of the waste in question or
a similar waste. Technologies available only at pilot- or bench-scale opera-
tions are not considered in identifying demonstrated technologies.
3.1 Applicable Treatment Technologies
The following subsections present applicable technologies for
treatment of nonwastewater and wastewater forms of K083.
3.1.1 Nonwastewaters
Since nonwastewater forms of K083 consist primarily of organic
compounds (as shown in Section 2.0), applicable treatment technologies include
those that destroy or reduce the total amount of various organic compounds in
the waste. The Agency has identified the following treatment technologies as
potentially applicable for K083 nonwastewaters: (1) incineration (fluidized-
bed and rotary kiln) followed by stabilization of incinerator ash; (2) solvent
extraction followed by incineration or recycle of the extract; and (3)
critical fluid extraction followed by recycle or incineration of the
contaminated solvents. These treatment technologies were identified based on
current waste treatment practices and engineering judgment.
3-1
-------
Incineration. Incineration is a destruction technology in which
energy, in the form of heat, is transferred to the waste to destabilize
chemical bonds and destroy organic constituents. In a fluidized-bed incinera-
tor, waste is injected into the fluidized-bed material (generally sand and/or
incinerator ash), where it is heated to its ignition temperature. Heat energy
from the combustion reactions is then transferred back to the fluidized bed.
Ash is removed periodically during operation and during bed change-outs.
In a rotary kiln incinerator, wastes are fed into the elevated end
of the kiln, and the rotation of the kiln mixes the waste with hot gases to
heat the waste to its ignition temperature. Ash is removed from the lower end
of the kiln. Combustion gases from the kiln enter the afterburner for com-
plete destruction of organic waste constituents. Other wastes may also be
injected into the afterburner.
Combustion gases from the fluidized-bed or kiln afterburner are then
fed to a scrubber system for cooling and removal of entrained particulates and
acid gases, if present. In general, two residuals are generated by incinera-
tion processes: ash and scrubber water. Metals and other inorganic constitu-
ents in incinerator ash can be treated using stabilization. Metals and other
inorganic constituents in scrubber water can be treated using chemical precip-
itation and vacuum filtration.
Stabilization. Stabilization refers to a broad class of treatment
processes that physically or chemically reduce the mobility of metal constitu-
ents in a waste by binding these constituents into a solid material that is
resistant to leaching.
Solvent Extraction. Solvent extraction is a separation technology
in which organics are removed from the waste due to greater constituent
solubility in the solvent phase than in the waste phase. This technology
results in the generation of two treatment residuals: a treated waste resid-
ual and an extract. Metals and other inorganic constituents in the treated
3-2
-------
waste residual can be treated by stabilization. The extract may be recycled
or may be further treated by incineration.
Critical Fluid Extraction. Critical fluid extraction is a solvent
extraction technology in which the solvent is brought to its critical state to
aid in the extraction of organic constituents from the wastes. After the
extraction step, the solvent (liquified gas at its critical state) is brought
to its normal condition in the gaseous state and generates a small volume of
extract that is concentrated in hazardous organic constituents. This technol-
ogy results in the generation of two treatment residuals: a treated waste and
an extract. The extract may be recycled or may be further treated by
incineration.
3.1.2 Wastewaters
Since wastewater forms of K083 may contain organic and metal
constituents at treatable concentrations, applicable treatment technologies
include those that destroy or reduce the total amount of various constituents
in the waste. Technologies that are applicable for treatment of the organic
and metal constituents in K083 are identified the Final Best Demonstrated
Available Technology (BOAT) Background Document for U and P Wastes and Multi-
Source Leachate (F039), Volume A (Reference 14).
3.2 Demonstrated Treatment Technologies
The following subsections present demonstrated technologies for
treatment of nonwastewater and wastewater forms of K083.
3.2.1 Nonwastewaters
The Agency is aware of four facilities that incinerate K083 non-
wastewaters and of two facilities that incinerate K083 nonwastewaters as fuel.
In addition, the Agency tested rotary kiln incineration for similar wastes, as
discussed in Section 4.0.
3-3
-------
EPA is not aware of any facilities that treat metal constituents in
nonwastewater forms of K083 by stabilization. However, stabilization is
demonstrated for metal constituents in wastes judged to be similar, such as
F024, as discussed in Section 4.0.
3.2.2 Wastewaters
Technologies that are demonstrated for treatment of the organic
constituents in K083 wastewaters are discussed in the Final Best Demonstrated
Available Technology (BOAT) Background Document for U and P Wastes and Multi-
Source Leachate (F039), Volume A (Reference 14).
EPA is not aware of any facilities that treat metal constituents in
K083 wastewaters. However, chemical precipitation followed by vacuum
filtration is demonstrated for metal constituents in similar wastes, such as
K062, as discussed in Section 4.0. Additionally, all of the treatment
technologies that were identified as applicable for treatment of metal
constituents in K083 wastewaters in EPA's Final Best Demonstrated Available
Technology Background Document for U and P Wastes and Multi-Source Leachate
(F039), Volume A (Reference 14) are considered to be demonstrated for
treatment of these constituents.
The Agency is not aware of any other technologies that are demon-
strated for treatment of K083.
3-4
-------
4.0 TREATMENT PERFORMANCE DATA
This section presents the treatment performance data that were used
to develop treatment standards for nonwastewater and wastewater forms of K083.
Where data are not available on the treatment of the specific waste
of concern, the Agency may elect to transfer performance data from a demon-
strated technology used to treat a similar waste or wastes. EPA's methodology
for the transfer of treatment performance data is provided in EPA's Methodol-
ogy for Developing BOAT Treatment Standards (Reference 1). Transfer of
treatment performance data is technically valid in cases where the untested
wastes are generated from similar industries or similar processing steps, or
have waste characteristics affecting treatment selection and performance that
are similar to those of the tested wastes.
4.1 Nonwastewaters
The Agency does not have any treatment performance data for treat-
ment of K083 nonwastewaters. However, treatment performance data were
available from other wastes previously tested by EPA and were transferred to
develop treatment standards for nonwastewater forms of K083. Sources of
treatment performance data for potential transfer to K083 include wastes
previously tested by incineration (including rotary kiln and fluidized-bed)
followed by stabilization of incinerator ash. These technologies were
identified as applicable and demonstrated for treatment of these wastes, as
discussed in Section 3.0.
4.1.1 Organic Constituents
Previous incineration tests conducted by the Agency are listed in
Table 4-1 at the end of this section. EPA examined the wastes incinerated in
these tests to identify the best data source(s), if any, for transfer of
treatment performance data to K083 nonwastewaters. Specifically, EPA examined
(1) whether the untested K083 is generated from a similar industry or
4-1
-------
processing step, and (2) whether the waste has similar waste characteristics
affecting treatment performance as do the previously tested wastes.
Wastes included in Tests 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are generated
by the organic chemicals industry. Like K083, wastes incinerated in Tests 3,
4, 5, 11, and 14 were generated by distillation or some other type of separa-
tion process.
Of the wastes generated by a process similar to that generating
K083, those incinerated in Tests 3, 4, and 14 contain nitrogenated compounds,
and are therefore most structurally similar to K083. The wastes incinerated
in these tests are also similar to K083 in that they are all organic wastes.
The waste incinerated in Test 3 has a high concentration of water, while the
water content of K083 and the wastes incinerated in Tests 4 and 14 is quite
low. The constituents in the RCRA Blend waste incinerated in Test 4 are more
similar to K083 than those in Tests 3 and 14 with respect to structure and
physical properties that affect the treatment performance of incineration,
such as boiling points. In addition, the RCRA Blend waste incinerated in Test
4 is expected to have a similar thermal conductivity to K083. Therefore, the
Agency believes that treatment performance similar to that achieved for RCRA
Blend waste could be achieved for K083.
Based on the similarities discussed above, treatment standards for
organic constituents being regulated in K083 nonwastewaters were developed
based on treatment performance data transferred from rotary kiln incineration
of the RCRA Blend waste that was co-incinerated with K019 in Test 4.
K019 and three other wastes, referred to as "RCRA Blend," "PCS
Blend," and "Mercaptan-contaminated waste," were treated in Test 4. K019,
RCRA Blend waste, FCB Blend waste, and Mercaptan-contaminated waste comprised
approximately 20%, 23%, 41%, and 16%, respectively, of the waste treated.
K019 and RCRA Blend were fed to the rotary kiln; PCS Blend and Mercaptan-
contaminated waste were fed to the afterburner (secondary combustor).
Accordingly, the ash generated from rotary kiln incineration resulted from
4-2
-------
treatment of the K019 and RCRA Blend wastes only. The ash data from the
incineration of K019 and RCRA Blend wastes were transferred to K083
nonwastewaters. Tables 4-2 and 4-3 present the BOAT List constituents
detected in the untreated wastes and in the kiln ash residual for six sample
sets collected by EPA from the rotary kiln incineration treatment system.
Design and operating data are presented in Table 4-4 for each sample set. All
tables are presented at the end of this section.
4.1.2 Metal Constituents
The Agency examined all of the available nonwastewater treatment
performance data for metal constituents. Treatment of F024 incinerator ash by
stabilization was the sole source of data for the constituent of concern,
nickel; these treatment performance data were also the only data from
stabilization of incinerator ash. EPA examined the F024 ash stabilization
data to evaluate whether transferring these treatment performance data to K083
nonwastewater metals was appropriate. Specifically, EPA examined whether the
untested K083 is (1) generated from a similar industry or processing step, and
(2) whether the waste has similar waste characteristics affecting treatment
performance as does the previously tested waste.
Both K083 and F024 are generated by the organic chemicals industry.
They are also both generated by a separation process.
After determining that the wastes are generated by similar indus-
tries and processes, EPA examined the relative treatability of metal constitu-
ents in K083 nonwastewater and in F024 nonwastewater. As discussed in the
Treatment Technology Background Document (Reference 9), waste characteristics
that affect the performance of stabilization are the concentrations of the
following parameters in the untreated waste: fine particulates, oil and
grease, organic compounds, sulfate, and chloride compounds.
K083 and F024 are expected to have similar concentrations of these
parameters. F024 is also expected to have a similar or higher concentration
4-3
-------
of the constituent of concern, nickel; than K083. Because of these
similarities, the wastes are believed to be similar and are expected to be
treated to similar concentrations by stabilization of incinerator ash.
Based on these analyses, transfer of treatment performance data from
stabilization of F024 nonwastewater metals to K083 nonwastewater metals is
valid. Treatment performance data for stabilization of F024 incinerator ash
are included in Table 4-5, and associated design and operating data are
included in Table 4-6.
4.2 Wastewaters
The Agency does not have any treatment performance data for
treatment of K083 wastewaters. However, treatment performance data were
available from other wastes previously tested by EPA and were transferred to
develop treatment standards for wastewater forms of K083.
4.2.1 Organic Constituents
The treatment performance data that were used to develop treatment
standards for organic constituents in K083 wastewaters are summarized in
Appendix A of this document, and are discussed in greater detail in EPA's
Final Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BDAT) Background Document for U
and P Wastes and Multi-Source Leachate (F039), Volume A (Reference 14).
These treatment performance data were used to develop treatment standards for
organic constituents in K083 wastewaters. If the Agency has appropriate
wastewater treatment performance data from well-designed and well-operated
wastewater treatment units, it prefers to use these data, rather than
constituent concentrations in scrubber water, to develop treatment standards.
Constituent concentrations in scrubber water represent the only other source
of data available for transfer to K083 wastewaters. The Agency believes that
the wastewater performance data summarized in Appendix A represent the best
source of treatment performance data available for transfer to wastewater
forms of K083. On a constituent-by-constituent basis, the tested wastes
4-4
-------
represented in these treatment performance data have similar waste
characteristics affecting treatment performance and selection as the untested
K083 wastewaters.
4.2.2 Metal Constituents
The Agency examined all of the available wastevater treatment
performance data. Performance data for treatment of metal constituents in
various industrial wastewaters were developed by EPA's Office of Water.
Additionally, EPA's database for chemical precipitation followed by filtration
of wastewaters is included in the California List Notice of Data Availability
(52 Federal Register 29992)(Reference 15). EPA screened the available data to
determine whether any wastes are generated from similar industries or similar
processing steps, or have similar waste characteristics affecting treatment
performance as those expected for wastewater forms of K083. The metal
constituent of concern in K083 is nickel, as shown by the waste
characterization data included in Table 2-2. Waste characterization data for
the metal-bearing wastes tested by the Agency's Office of Water were
insufficient to compare these wastes to K083 in terms of waste generation and
waste characterization. However, based on waste characterization data, K062
mixed with metal-bearing characteristic hazardous wastes and K083 wastewater
are expected to contain nickel at similar concentrations.
EPA then examined the relative treatability of K083 wastewater and
the mixture of K062 and metal-bearing characteristic hazardous wastes. As
discussed in the Treatment Technology Background Document (Reference 9), waste
characteristics that affect treatment performance for chemical precipitation
include the concentrations and types of metals in the waste, the
concentrations of dissolved solids in the waste, the oil and grease content of
the waste, and whether the metals exist in the wastewater as a complex. EPA
considers K062 wastewaters to be more difficult to treat than K083 wastewaters
because equal or higher concentrations of metals and dissolved solids are
anticipated in K062 than in wastewater forms of K083. These higher concen-
trations of metals and dissolved solids would interfere with the effectiveness
4-5
-------
of the precipitation reactions intended to remove the metals of concern.
Since K083 wastewaters are frequently scrubber waters generated from
incineration, oil and grease would not be expected to be present at
significant concentrations. However, the K062 mixture contains oil and grease
and may therefore be more difficult to treat than K083 scrubber water.
Complex metals are not considered to be significant parameters in either
waste. In consideration of these points, the mixture of K062 and metal-
bearing characteristic hazardous wastes is considered to be more difficult to
treat than wastewater forms of K083.
Based on these analyses, transfer of treatment performance data from
chemical precipitation and vacuum filtration of K062 mixed with metal-bearing
characteristic hazardous wastes to K083 wastewaters was judged to be valid.
Treatment performance data for chemical precipitation followed by vacuum
filtration of K062 mixed with metal-bearing characteristic hazardous wastes
are included in Table 4-7.

5.0 IDENTIFICATION OF BEST DEMONSTRATED AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY (BOAT)
This section discusses technologies that are available for treatment
of organic and metal constituents in K083 nonwastewaters and metal
constituents in K083 wastewaters, and identifies BOAT for these constituents.
The technologies that are available for treatment of organic constituents in
K083 wastewaters, along with identification of BOAT for these constituents,
are discussed in EPA's Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BOAT)
Background Document for U and P Wastes and Multi-Source Leachate (F039),
Volume A (Reference 14).
To determine BOAT, the Agency examines all available treatment
performance data on technologies that are identified as demonstrated for the
waste of concern, or for a waste similar to the waste of concern, to evaluate
whether one or more of the technologies performs significantly better than the
others. If data are available for only one technology for treating a waste,
then that technology is "best." When data are available for more than one
treatment technology, the "best" performing treatment technology is usually
determined by statistical methods, as discussed in EPA's Methodology for
Developing BOAT Treatment Standards (Reference 1). In the case of the
wastewater treatment performance data available to the Agency for organic
constituents (and described in EPA's Final Best Demonstrated Available
Technology (BOAT) Background Document for U and P Wastes and Multi-Source
Leachate (F039), Volume A (Reference 14)), a data hierarchy was established to
determine the "best" technology for each constituent. This hierarchy is
described in the latter-referenced document.
The treatment technology that is found to perform best on a
particular waste stream is then evaluated to determine whether it is
"available." To be available, the technology must (1) be commercially
available, and (2) provide "substantial" treatment of the waste, as determined
through evaluation of treatment performance data that have been corrected for
accuracy. In determining whether treatment is substantial, EPA may consider
data on a treatment technology's performance on a waste similar to. the waste
5-1
-------
in question, provided that the similar waste is at least as difficult to
treat. If it is determined that the best performing treatment technology is
not available, then the next best technology is evaluated to determine whether
it is "available."
5.1 Review of Treatment Performance Data
The treatment performance data (presented in Section 4.0) were
reviewed and assessed to determine whether they represent operation of a well-
designed and well-operated treatment system, whether sufficient quality
assurance/quality control measures were employed to ensure the accuracy of the
data, and whether the appropriate measures of performance were used to assess
the performance of the particular treatment technology.
The treatment performance data and the design and operating data
collected during the tests of rotary kiln incineration and stabilization were
reviewed for the points described above. For these tests, the appropriate
measures of performance (total constituent concentration for organic
constituents in nonwastewater and TCLP leachate concentration for metal
constituents in nonwastewater) were used to assess the treatment systems.
Additionally, the Agency had no reason to believe that these treatment systems
were not well-designed and well-operated, or that insufficient analytical
quality assurance/quality control measures were employed in generating treat-
ment performance data.
5.2 Statistical Comparison of Treatment Performance Data
In cases where the Agency has treatment performance data from more
than one technology, EPA uses the statistical method known as the analysis of
variance (ANOVA) test (discussed in EPA's Methodology for Developing BOAT
Treatment Standards (Reference 1)), to determine if one technology performs
significantly better than the rest. For K083, the Agency has treatment
performance data for only one treatment system; therefore, an ANOVA comparison
is not appropriate.
5-2
-------
5.3 Best Demonstrated Technology for K083
5.3.1 Nonwastewaters
As discussed in Section 3.0, incineration and stabilization have
been determined to be demonstrated technologies for treatment of nonwastevater
forms of K083. Because the Agency does not have treatment performance data
for any other technologies for treating K083 or similar wastes, these
treatment technologies are considered to be the best. Therefore, the best
demonstrated technology has been determined to be incineration for organic
constituents and incineration followed by stabilization for metal constituents
in K083 nonwastewaters.
5.3.2 Wastewaters
BOAT for organic constituents regulated in K083 wastewaters is
discussed in EPA's Final Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BOAT)
Background Document for U and P Wastes and Multi-Source Leachate (F039),
Volume A (Reference 14).
As discussed in Section 3.0, chemical precipitation followed by
vacuum filtration has been determined to be a demonstrated technology for
treatment of metal constituents in wastewater forms of K083. Because the
Agency does not have treatment performance data for any other technologies for
treating K083 or similar wastes, this technology is considered to be the best.
Therefore, the best demonstrated technology has been determined to be chemical
precipitation followed by vacuum filtration for metal constituents in K083
wastewaters.
5.4 Available Treatment Technologies
The best technologies for treatment of K083 nonwastewaters,
incineration for organic constituents and stabilization for metal
5-3
-------
constituents, are considered to be commercially available. Furthermore, the
Agency has determined that these technologies provide substantial treatment of
K019 and F024, and therefore will provide substantial treatment of organic and
metal constituents in K083. Consequently, these technologies are considered
BOAT for treatment of K083 nonwastewaters.
Technologies that are considered available and therefore BOAT for
treatment of organic constituents in K083 wastewaters, are discussed in EFA's
Final Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BOAT) Background Document for U
and P Wastes and Multi-Source Leachate (F039), Volume A (Reference 14).
The best technology for treatment of metal constituents in K083
wastewaters, chemical precipitation followed by vacuum filtration, is
considered to be commercially available. Furthermore, the Agency has
determined that this technology provides substantial treatment of K062, and
therefore will provide substantial treatment of metal constituents in K083.
Consequently, this technology is considered BOAT for treatment of metal
constituents in K083 wastewaters.

6.0 SELECTION OF REGULATED CONSTITUENTS
The Agency has developed a list of hazardous constituents (the BOAT
Constituent List, presented in EPA's Methodology for Developing BOAT Treatment
Standards (Reference 1)) from which constituents are selected for regulation.
EPA may revise this list as additional data and information become available.
The list is divided into the following categories: volatile organics, semi-
volatile organics, metals, inorganics other than metals, organochlorine pesti-
cides, phenoxyacetic acid herbicides, organophosphorus insecticides,
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and dioxins and furans. This section
presents EPA's rationale for the selection of constituents being regulated in
wastewater and nonwastewater forms of K083.
Generally, constituents selected for regulation must satisfy the
following criteria:
(1) The constituent must be on the BOAT List of regulated constitu-
ents . Presence on the BOAT List means that EPA-approved
methods exist for analysis of the constituent in treated waste
matrices.
(2) The constituent must be present in. or be suspected of being
present in. the untreated waste. For example, in some cases,
analytical difficulties (such as masking) may prevent a con-
stituent from being identified in the untreated waste, but its
identification in a treatment residual may lead the Agency to
conclude that it is present in the untreated waste.
From a group of constituents that are eligible for regulation,
because they meet the above criteria, EPA may select a subset of constituents
that represent the broader group. For example, from a group of constituents
that react similarly to treatment, the Agency may select for regulation those
constituents that (1) are the most difficult to treat, based on waste charac-
teristics affecting treatment performance; (2) are representative of other
constituents in the waste, based on structural similarities; or (3) are
present in the untreated waste in the highest concentrations. Selecting a
subset of constituents for regulation is done to facilitate implementation of
the compliance and enforcement program.
6-1
-------
The Agency initially considered all constituents on the BOAT List
for regulation. Available K083 characterization data for all BOAT List
constituents are summarized in Table 6-1. (All tables are presented at the
end of Section 6.0.) When data are available from more than one source, a
range of detected concentrations is shown in the table for all constituents
quantified in the untreated K083. Constituents for which analytical results
were not reported in available literature are identified by the notation "NA"
(not available).
6.1 BOAT List Constituents Not Selected for Regulation
The Agency may not regulate all of the BOAT List constituents
initially considered for regulation. As discussed further below, a BOAT List
constituent is deleted from further consideration for regulation if (1) the
constituent was not detected in the untreated waste, (2) the constituent was
not analyzed for in the untreated waste, or (3) other reasons, as discussed
below. BOAT List constituents that remained following the deletions described
in this subsection were further considered for regulation. These constituents
were then selected for regulation and are listed in Tables 6-2 and 6-3 at the
end of this section.
6.1.1 BOAT List Constituents Not Detected or Analyzed For in the Untreated
Waste
Constituents for which the Agency does not have analytical results
from characterization samples (identified by "NA" in Table 6-1) were deleted
from further consideration for regulation.
6.1.2 BOAT List Constituents Deleted From Further Consideration for
Regulation For Other Reasons
Copper was considered for regulation in K083 nonwastewaters and
wastewaters but was not selected as a constituent for regulation. Although
copper cyanide is listed in Appendix VIII of 40 CFR Part 261, copper is not
6-2
-------
listed individually. The Agency is only regulating copper when it is an
indicator of treatment performance for other Appendix VIII constituents. For
K083 nonwastewaters and wastewaters, copper has not been identified as an
indicator of treatment performance for other Appendix VIII constituents and
therefore is not being regulated.
The Agency has data which indicate that cyclohexanone may not be
amenable to quantification in nonwastewater matrices, such as incinerator ash.
Accordingly, cyclohexanone was deleted from further consideration for
regulation in nonwastewater forms of K083.
Lead was deleted from further consideration for regulation in K083
because it was not present in the untreated waste at treatable concentrations.
Sulfide was deleted from -further consideration for regulation in
K083 because the technologies determined to be BOAT for K083 (incineration,
stabilization, and chemical precipitation followed by vacuum filtration) do
not provide effective treatment for sulfide. Moreover, the Agency is unaware
of any demonstrated technology for treatment of sulfide in K083 or similar
wastes.
6.2 BOAT List Constituents Selected for Regulation
Constituents further considered for regulation in nonwastewater and
wastewater forms of K083 were selected from the BOAT List constituents that
were detected in the untreated waste, unless they were deleted from considera-
tion as discussed in Section 6.1.
Tables 6-2 and 6-3 present each constituent selected for regulation
in K083 nonwastewaters and wastewaters after consideration of (1) the constit-
uent concentration in the untreated waste, (2) whether the constituent is
adequately controlled by regulation of another constituent, and (3) the
relative difficulty in achieving effective treatment of the constituent by the
technology identified as BOAT for K083 (incineration for organic constituents,
6-3
-------
stabilization for metal constituents in nonwastewater, and chemical precipita-
tion followed by vacuum filtration for metal constituents in wastewater).
The Agency's determination of adequate control for organic constitu-
ents was based on (1) an evaluation of the characteristics of the constituents
that would affect the performance of incineration relative to the residuals,
specifically, their estimated boiling points for ash residuals and their bond
dissociation energies for scrubber water residuals, and (2) the structural
similarities among the constituents.
Based on the above considerations, all of those constituents that
were further considered for regulation were selected for regulation. The
seven BOAT List organic constituents selected for regulation (shown in Table
6-2) in K083 are benzene, aniline, diphenylamine, diphenylnitrosamine,
nitrobenzene, cyclohexanone (wastewaters only), and phenol. One metal
constituent, nickel, was also selected for regulation in nonwastewater and
wastewater forms of K083.

7.0 CALCULATION OF BOAT TREATMENT STANDARDS
The Agency bases numerical treatment standards for regulated con-
stituents on the performance of well-designed and well-operated BOAT treatment
systems. These standards must account for analytical limitations in available
treatment performance data, and the data must be adjusted for variabilities
related to treatment, sampling, and analytical techniques and procedures. The
purpose of this section is to calculate treatment standards for the regulated
organic constituents and metal constituent in K083 nonwastewaters and the
regulated metal constituent in K083 wastewaters. Treatment standard
calculations for the organic constituents selected for regulation in K083
wastewaters are presented and discussed in EFA's Best Demonstrated Available
Technology (BOAT) Background Document for U and P Wastes and Multi-Source
Leachate (F039), Volume A (Reference 14).
BDAT treatment standards for K083 nonwastewaters are based on the
demonstrated technologies of incineration for organic constituents and
stabilization for the metal constituent. The BDAT treatment standard for the
metal constituent in K083 wastewaters is based on the demonstrated technology
of chemical precipitation followed by vacuum filtration.
Before treatment standards are calculated, the treatment performance
data are corrected to account for analytical interferences associated with the
chemical matrices of the samples. A complete discussion of the accuracy
correction of treatment performance data is provided in Appendix B. Appendix
B also contains the matrix spike recoveries and accuracy correction factors
used to correct the treatment performance data, as well as the corrected
treatment performance data.
After treatment performance data are corrected for accuracy, the
arithmetic average of the corrected data is calculated for each regulated
constituent. In cases where the constituent is not detected in the treatment
residual at or above its detection limit, the detection limit is used to
7-1
-------
calculate the average constituent concentration in the treated waste. Tables
7-1 and 7-2 at the end of this section present the averages of the corrected
treatment performance data for organic constituents and metal constituent
regulated in K083 nonwastewaters and for the metal constituent regulated in
K083 wastewaters, respectively.
The next step in calculating treatment standards is to determine the
variability factor (VF) for each regulated constituent. The variability
factor accounts for the variability inherent in treatment system performance,
treatment residual collection, and treatment sample analysis. (For more
information on calculation of variability factors, see EPA's Methodology for
Developing BOAT Treatment Standards (Reference 1).) Variability factors for
the constituents selected for regulation in K083 are shown in Tables 7-1
and 7-2.
Finally, the treatment standard is calculated for each regulated
constituent by multiplying the average of the corrected treatment performance
values by the variability factor for the constituent. Treatment standards for
the organic constituents and the metal constituent in nonwastewater forms of
K083 and for the metal constituent in wastewater forms of K083 are presented
in Tables 7-1 and 7-2, respectively, and are discussed in greater detail in
the following sections.
Treatment performance data for rotary kiln incineration of organic
constituents and stabilization of metal constituents in K083 nonwastewaters
are not available. Treatment performance data for chemical precipitation
followed by vacuum filtration of metal constituents in K083 wastewaters are
also not available. Therefore, the Agency is transferring performance data
from treatment of RCRA Blend waste to develop treatment standards for organic
constituents in nonwastewater forms of K083, from treatment of F024 to develop
a treatment standard for the metal constituent in nonwastewater forms of K083,
and from treatment of K062 to develop a treatment standard for the metal
constituent in wastewater forms of K083. The rationale for these transfers is
presented in Section 4.0 of this document.
7-2
-------
7.1 Calculation of Treatment Standards for K083 Nonwastewaters
7.1.1 Organic Constituents
Incineration generally results in the generation of ash (a nonwaste-
water) and combustion gas scrubber water (a wastewater). The best measure of
performance for a destruction technology, such as incineration, is the total
amount of each constituent of concern remaining after treatment. Therefore,
BOAT treatment standards for organic constituents regulated in K083
nonwastewaters were calculated based on total constituent concentration data
transferred from the ash residual from incineration of RCRA Blend waste
(Reference 16).
Treatment standards for organic constituents in K083 nonwastewaters
were calculated using six sample sets of data for incineration of RCRA Blend
waste (Reference 16). Tables 4-2 and 4-3 present the total concentrations of
each organic constituent detected in the untreated RCRA Blend waste and the
treated nonwastewater residual (ash). Treatment performance data for each
constituent being regulated in K083 nonwastewaters were transferred from data
for the same constituent in RCRA Blend waste if that constituent was detected
in the untreated RCRA Blend waste. For a constituent that was not detected in
the untreated RCRA Blend waste, a treatment standard was developed based on
treatment performance data from another constituent that was detected in the
untreated RCRA Blend waste.
The particular constituent from which data are transferred is
determined based on the characteristics of the waste that affect treatment
performance by incineration with respect to the nonwastewater residual (i.e.,
ash), and based on the structural similarities between the constituents from
and to which data are transferred. In the rotary kiln, energy in the form of
heat is transferred to the waste to volatilize the organic waste constituents.
To determine whether one constituent is volatilized similarly to another
7-3
-------
constituent, the Agency examines the boiling points and the structural
similarities of the constituents.
In general, the Agency believes that a constituent with a higher
boiling point (bp) is more difficult to treat than a constituent with a lower
boiling point. Whenever possible, treatment performance data were transferred
to K083 nonwastewaters from constituents detected in untreated RCRA Blend
waste that had equal or higher boiling points. Specific cases where data were
transferred from another constituent are noted in Table 7-1.
The calculation of the treatment standards for each BOAT List
organic constituent regulated in K083 nonwastewaters is shown in Table 7-1.
7.1.2 Metal Constituent
Stabilization is an immobilization technology for metals in non-
wastewaters. The best measure of performance for an immobilization technology
is the concentration of each constituent of concern in the leachate from the
stabilized material. The Agency is transferring performance data from
stabilization of metal constituents in F024 incinerator ash to develop a
treatment standard for the metal constituent in nonwastewater forms of K083.
The rationale for this transfer is presented in Section 4.0.
The treatment standard for the regulated metal constituent in K083
nonwastewaters was calculated using three sample sets of data for
stabilization of F024 incinerator ash using a cement binder. Table 4-5
presents the TCLP leachate concentrations for metal constituents in the
untreated and treated F024 incinerator ash.
The accuracy-corrected data and the treatment standard calculation
for the metal constituent regulated in nonwastewater forms of K083 are
presented in Table 7-1.
7-4
-------
7.2 Calculation of Treatment Standards for the Metal Constituent
Regulated in KQ83 Wastewaters
Chemical precipitation followed by vacuum filtration is a removal
technology for metals in wastewater. The best measure of performance for a
removal technology is the total amount of each constituent of concern remain-
ing in the wastewater after treatment. The Agency is transferring performance
data from treatment of metal constituents in K062 mixed with metal-bearing
characteristic hazardous wastes to develop the treatment standard for the
metal constituent in wastewater forms of K083. The rationale for this
transfer is presented in Section 4.0.
The treatment standard for the metal constituent in K083 wastewaters
was calculated using three sample sets of data for chemical precipitation
followed by vacuum filtration of K062 mixed with metal-bearing characteristic
hazardous wastes. Table 4-7 presents the total concentrations for metal con-
stituents in the untreated and treated K062 mixed with metal-bearing charac-
teristic hazardous wastes.
The accuracy-corrected data and the treatment standard calculation
for the metal constituent regulated in wastewater forms of K083 are presented
in Table 7-2.

SUMMARY OF TREATMENT PERFORMANCE DATA FOR
ORGANIC CONSTITUENTS IN K083 WASTEWATERS
A-l
-------
Aniline (U012). The data available for aniline were compiled from
the NPDES, UERL, and BOAT databases and are presented in Table 4-55.
Technologies for which data are available include AS, BT, CA, LL, LL+SS, and
LL+SS+AC. The treatment performance data represent both pilot- and full-scale
studies. The resulting effluent concentrations ranged from 4.95 ppb to
165,000 ppb.
BOAT for aniline is being promulgated as proposed and is identified
as liquid liquid extraction followed by steam stripping followed by activated
carbon (LL+SS+AC). LL+SS+AC was selected as BOAT because it represents the
best full-scale technology with data developed under BOAT guidelines
(K103/K104). The BOAT treatment standard for aniline was calculated using the
effluent concentration of 262 ppb and the appropriate variability factor and
accuracy correction factor. The calculation of the resulting BOAT treatment
standard for aniline (0.81 ppm) is described in Section 6.0 and is shown in
Table 6-10.

Benzene (U019). Several sources of wastewater treatment performance
data were available for benzene, including data from the ITD, BOAT, and WERL
databases as well as literature PACT" data. These data are presented in
Table 4-5. Technologies for which data are available include aerobic lagoons
(AL), aerobic lagoons followed by activated sludge (AL+AS), API oil/water
separation followed by dissolved air flotation and activated sludge
(API+DAF+AS), AS, AS+Fil, air stripping (AirS), air stripping followed by
granular activated carbon, (AirS+GAC), GAG, liquid, liquid extraction (LL),
liquid, liquid extraction followed by steam stripping (LL+SS), liquid, liquid
extraction followed by steam stripping and activated carbon (LL+SS+AC), PACT*,
RO, SS, trickling filter (TF), trickling filter followed by activated sludge
(TF+AS), and WOx. The treatment performance data represent bench- and full-
scale studies.
The treatment performance data available from the ITD database were .
used for setting the proposed and promulgated BOAT standard for this
constituent for the following reasons:
(1) The ITD data represent treatment performance'data from the
OCFSF sampling episodes. The data collected by ITD include
long-term sampling of several industries. These data are
therefore a good reflection of the total organic chemical
industry and can adequately represent a wastewater of unknown
characteristics.
(2) The ITD data were carefully screened prior to inclusion in the
OCPSF database. These data were used in determining an ITD
promulgated limit.
(3) A promulgated ITD limit represents data that have undergone
both EPA and industry review and acceptance.
BDAT for benzene is being promulgated as proposed and is identified
as steam stripping (SS). The BDAT treatment standard was calculated using the
ITD median long-term average of 10 ppb and the ITD Option 1 variability
factor. The calculation of the resulting BDAT treatment standard for benzene
(0.14 ppm) is described in Section 6.0 and is shown in Table 6-10.

Data used in developing proposed standard.
A-5
-------
Cvclohexanone (U057). No wastewater treatment performance data were
available for cyclohexanone from any of the examined sources. Treatment
performance data were therefore transferred to this constituent from a
constituent judged to be similar in elemental composition and functional
groups within the structure of the chemical. For constituents represented by
a U or P code, this means that constituents included in the same waste
treatability group (see Appendix B) were candidates for transfer of data.
Cyclohexanone is in treatability group III.A.3.e and the constituent used to
transfer treatment performance data from was methyl ethyl ketone. The
treatment performance data for methyl ethyl ketone are presented in
Tables 4-32A and 4-32B. Using a transfer from this constituent results in a
BOAT for cyclohexanone of biological treatment and a BOAT treatment standard
of 0.36 ppm as described in Section 6.0 and shown in Table 6-10.
A-6
-------
Dtphenvlamtne. No wastewater treatment performance data were
available for diphenylamine from any of the examined sources. Treatment
performance data were therefore transferred to this constituent from a
constituent judged to be similar in elemental composition and functional
groups within the structure of the chemical. For constituents represented by
a U or P code, this means that constituents included in the same waste
treatability group (see Appendix B) were candidates for transfer of data.
Diphenylamine is similar in structure to constituents in treatability group
III.A.3.f.(2) and the constituent used to transfer treatment performance data
from was 2-naphthylamine. The treatment performance data for 2-naphthylamine
are presented in Table 4-101. Using a transfer from this constituent results
in a BOAT for diphenylamine of activated sludge biological treatment and a
BOAT treatment standard of O.S2 ppm as described in Section 6.0 and shown in
Table 6-10.
A-7
-------
Diphenvlnitrosamine. No wastewater treatment performance data were
available for diphenylnitrosamine from any of the examined sources. Treatment
performance data were therefore transferred to this constituent from a
constituent judged to be similar in elemental composition and functional
groups within the structure of the chemical. For constituents represented by
a U or F code, this means that constituents included in the same waste
treatability group (see Appendix B) were candidates for transfer of data.
Diphenylnitrosamine is similar in structure to constituents in treatability
group III.A.3.f.(6) and the constituent used to transfer treatment performance
data from was N-nitrosodimethylamine. The treatment performance data for
N-nitrosodimethylamine are presented in Table 4*105. Using a transfer from
this constituent results in a BOAT for diphenylnitrosamine of activated sludge
biological treatment and a BOAT treatment standard of 0.40 ppm as described in
Section 6.0 and shown in Table 6-10.
A-8
-------
Nitrobenzene (U169). Several sources of wastewater treatment
performance data were available for nitrobenzene, including data from the ITD,
BOAT, and WERL databases, BOAT Solvents Rule data, and literature WAO data.
These data are presented in Table 4-103. Technologies for which data are
available include AL, AS, AirS, BT, BT+AC, ChOx, LL, LL+SS, LL+SS+AC, PACT*,
SS, SS+AC, and UOx. The treatment performance data represent bench-, pilot-,
and full-scale studies.
The treatment performance data available from the ITD database were
used for setting the proposed and promulgated BOAT standard for this
constituent for the following reasons:
(1) The ITD data represent treatment performance data from the
OCPSF sampling episodes. The data collected by ITD include
long-term sampling of several industries. These data are
therefore a good reflection of the total organic chemical
industry and can adequately represent a wastewater of unknown
characteristics.
(2) The ITD data were carefully screened prior to inclusion in the
OCPSF database. These data were used in determining an ITD
promulgated limit.
(3) A promulgated ITD limit represents data that have undergone
both EPA and industry review and acceptance.
BDAT for nitrobenzene is being promulgated as proposed and is
identified as steam stripping followed by activated carbon (SS+AC). The BDAT
treatment, standard was calculated using the ITD median long-term average of 14
ppb and the ITD Option 1 variability factor. The calculation of the resulting
BDAT treatment standard for nitrobenzene (0.068 ppm) is described in Section
6.0 and is shown in Table 6-10.

Phenol (U188). Several sources of wastewater treatment performance
data were available for phenol, including data from the ITD, BOAT, and WERL
databases as well as literature WAO data. These data are presented in Table
4-109A. In addition, leachate treatment performance data submitted by
industry just prior to proposal are presented in Table 4-109B. Technologies
for which data are available include AL, API+DAF+AS, AS, ChOx, GAG, BT, LL,
LL+SS, LL+SS+AC, PACT", RBC, RO, SBR, SS, TF, WOx, AS+Fil, and Anff. The
treatment performance data represent bench-, pilot-, and full-scale studies.
At proposal, BOAT for phenol was identified as biological treatment
and the treatment standard was based on an ITD median long-term average
effluent concentration of 10.363 ppb from the ITD database. Between proposal
and promulgation, EPA evaluated the industry-submitted leachate data available
for phenol. Since this data for biological treatment (BT) showed substantial
treatment of phenol, these data were used to calculate the promulgated
standards. Therefore, BOAT for phenol is biological treatment.
The BDAT treatment standard for phenol was calculated using the
effluent concentration of 10 ppb and the appropriate variability factor and
accuracy correction factor. The calculation of the resulting BDAT treatment
standard for phenol (0.039 ppm) is described in Section 6.0 and is shown in
Table 6-10.

APPENDIX B
ACCURACY CORRECTION OF TREATMENT PERFORMANCE DATA
The treatment performance data used to determine treatment standards
for K083 were adjusted to account for analytical interferences associated with
the chemical matrices of the samples. Generally, treatment performance data
were corrected for accuracy as follows: (1) a matrix spike recovery was
determined for each BOAT List constituent detected in the untreated or treated
waste; (2) an accuracy correction factor was determined for each of the above
constituents by dividing 100 by the matrix spike recovery (percent) for that
constituent; and (3) treatment performance data for each BOAT List constituent
detected in the untreated or treated waste were corrected by multiplying the
reported concentration of each constituent by its corresponding accuracy
correction factor. The procedure for accuracy correction of the data is
described in further detail below.
Matrix spike recoveries are developed by analyzing a sample of a
treated waste for a constituent and then re-analyzing the sample after the
addition of a known amount of the same constituent (i.e., spike) to the
sample. The matrix spike recovery represents the total amount of constituent
recovered after spiking, minus the initial concentration of the constituent in
the sample, and the result divided by the spike concentration of the constitu-
ent.
Matrix spike recoveries that were used to adjust the treatment
performance data transferred to the K083 nonwastewater organic and metal
constituents and the wastewater metal constituent are shown in Tables B-l and
B-2. Duplicate matrix spikes were performed for some BDAT List constituents.
If a duplicate matrix spike was performed for a constituent, the matrix spike
recovery used for that constituent was the lower of the two values from the
first matrix spike and the duplicate spike. An accuracy correction factor of
1.00 was used when matrix spike and duplicate matrix spike recoveries both
B-2
-------
exceeded 100%, so that the data were not adjusted to concentrations below the
detection limits.
Where a matrix spike was not performed for an organic constituent,
the matrix spike recovery for that constituent was derived from the average
matrix spike recoveries of the appropriate group of constituents (e.g.,
volatile or semivolatile organics) for which recovery data were available. In
these cases, the matrix spike recoveries for all volatiles or semivolatiles
from the first matrix spike were averaged. Similarly, an average matrix spike
recovery was calculated for the duplicate matrix spike recoveries. The lower
of the two average matrix spike recoveries of the volatile or semivolatile
group was used for any volatile or semivolatile constituent for which no
matrix spike was performed.
The accuracy correction factors for the data that were used to
adjust the treatment performance data transferred to the K083 nonwastewater
organic and metal constituents and the wastewater metal constituent are
presented in Table B-3. The corrected treatment concentrations for these
regulated constituents are presented in Tables B-4 and B-5.

The accuracy correction factor is equal to 100 divided by the percent
recovery. An accuracy correction factor of 1.00 was used when matrix spike
and duplicate matrix spike recoveries both exceeded 100%, so that the
data were not adjusted to concentrations below the detection limits.
