How to Notify U.S. EPA of Your Waste Activities
I. How to Determine if You Handle a
Regulated Hazardous Waste
Persons who generate, transport, treat, store, or
dispose of solid wastes are responsible for
determining if their solid waste is a hazardous waste
regulated under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA). In addition, persons who
recycle secondary materials must also determine
whether those materials are solid and hazardous
wastes under the provisions of RCRA. If you need
help making this determination after reading these
instructions, contact the addressee listed for your
State in Section III. C. of these instructions.
You will need to refer to 40 CFR Part 261 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (copy enclosed, see Section
YE) to help you decide if the waste you handle is
regulated under RCRA.*
To determine if you are regulated under RCRA, ask
yourself the following questions:
A) Do I Handle A Solid Waste?
Section 261.2 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(hereafter referred to as CFR) defines "solid waste"
as any discarded material that is not excluded under
Section 261.4(a) or that is not excluded by variance
granted under Sections 260.30 and 260.31. A
discarded material is any material which is:
1) abandoned, as explained in 261.2(b); or
2) recycled, as explained in 261.2(c); or
3) considered inherently waste-like as explained
in 261.2(c).
B) Has My Solid Waste Been Excluded From The
Regulations Under Section 261.4?
The list of general exclusions can be found in Section
261.4 of the CFR. If the solid waste that you handle
has been excluded, either by rule or special variance,
then you do not need to notify U.S. EPA for that
waste.
If your solid waste was not excluded from regulation,
you need to determine if it is a hazardous waste that
U.S. EPA regulates. The U.S. EPA regulates
hazardous waste two ways:
1) by specifically listing the waste and assigning
it a unique EPA Waste Code Number; or
2) by regulating it because it possesses any of
four hazardous characteristics and assigning
it a generic EPA Waste Code Number.
C) Is My Solid Waste Specifically Listed as a
Hazardous Waste?
Sections 261.31 — 261.33 of the CFR identify certain
solid wastes that U.S. EPA has specifically listed as
hazardous. Persons who handle listed hazardous
waste are subject to regulation and must notify U.S.
EPA of their activities unless they are exempted as
discussed below. Refer to this section of the CFR
(enclosed as Section VH) to see if your waste is
included as a "listed waste."
D)Does My Solid Waste Possess a Hazardous
Characteristic?
Even if your waste is not specifically listed as a
hazardous waste, it may still be hazardous because it
exhibits certain hazardous characteristics. These
characteristics are —
1) Ignitability;
2) Corrosivity;
3) Reactivity; and
4) Toxicity Characteristic.
Sections 261.20 through 261.24 of the CFR explain
what each of the characteristics is and outlines the
testing procedures you should use to determine if
your waste meets these characteristics. Persons who
handle characteristic waste that is regulated must
notify U.S. EPA of their activities unless they are
exempted, as discussed below. If you are handling a
newly regulated waste (see Toxicity Characteristics
Rule in Section VIII) and have already notified EPA
prior to that activity and already have an EPA
Identification Number, no re-notification is required.
E) Has My Hazardous Waste Been Exempted From
The Regulations?
The list of exemptions can be found in 261.5 and
261.6(aX3) of the CFR. If the hazardous waste that
you handle has been exempted, then you do not need
to notify U.S. EPA for that waste.
* Many States have requirements that vary from the Federal regulations. These State regulations may be more strict than the Federal requirements
by identifying additional wastes as hazardous, or may not yet include all wastes currently regulated under RCRA. It is your responsibility to comply
with all regulations that apply to you. For more information on state requirements, you are strongly urged to contact the appropriate addressee listed
for your State in Section III of these instructions.

II. How To Determine if You Must Notify
U.S. EPA of Your Waste-as-Fuel
Activities
Persons who market or burn hazardous waste or used
oil (and any material produced from or otherwise
containing hazardous waste or used oil) for energy
recovery are required to notify U.S. EPA (or their
State agency if the State is authorized to operate its
own hazardous waste program) and obtain a U.S.
EPA Identification Number unless they are exempt as
outlined below (see Subparts D and E of 40 CFR Part
266). Hazardous waste and used oil are considered to
be burned for energy recovery if they are burned in a
boiler or industrial furnace that is not regulated as a
hazardous waste incinerator under Subpart O of 40
CFR Parts 264 or 265.
Even if you have previously notified U.S. EPA of
hazardous waste activities and have a U.S. EPA
Identification Number, you must renotify to identify
your waste-as-fuel activities. (You do not have to
renotify for those activities you previously notified
for, only for any newly regulated activities.) If you
have previously notified, be sure to complete Item I
"First or Subsequent Notification," by marking an
"X" in the box for subsequent notification. Fill in
your U.S. EPA Identification Number in the spaces
provided. (Your U.S. EPA Identification Number will
not change.)
Who is Exempt From Waste-As-Fuel Notification
Requirements?
1) Ordinary Generators (and initial transporters):
Generators (and initial transporters who pick
up used oil or hazardous waste from generators)
are not marketers subject to the notification
requirement if they do not market hazardous
waste fuel or used oil fuel directly to a burner. In
such situations, it is the recipient of that fuel
who makes the decision to market the materials
as a fuel, (typically after processing or
blending), and it is the recipient who must
notify.
In addition, used oil generators or initial
transporters who send their oil to a person who
processes or blends it to produce used oil fuel
and who incidently burns used oil to provide
energy for the processing or blending are also
exempt from the notification requirement. This
is because such persons are generally
considered to be primarily fuel processors and
marketers, but only incidental burners.
2) Persons who Market or Burn Specification Used
Oil Fuel: Used oil fuel that meets the
specification provided under 40 CFR 266.40(e)
is essentially exempt from the regulations.
However, the person who first claims that the
used oil meets the specification is subject to the
notification and certain other requirements. The
burner (or any subsequent marketer) is not
required to notify.
3) Used Oil Generators Operating Used-Ott-Fired
Space Heaters: Persons who burn their used oil
(and used oil received from individuals who are
do-it-yourself oil changers) in used-oil-fired
space heaters are exempt from the notification
requirement provided that the device is vented
to the outdoors.
4) Specific Exemptions Provided by 40 CFR 261.6:
The rules provide conditional exemptions for
several specific waste-derived fuels under
261.6(aX3), including fuels produced by
petroleum refineries that recycle refinery
hazardous waste, and coke and coal tar derived
from coal coking wastes by the iron and steel
industry. Marketers and burners of these
exempted fuels are not subject to the
notification requirement.

How to File EPA Form 8700-12,
"Notification of Regulated Waste
Activity"
If your waste activity is regulated under RCRA, you
must notify the U.S. EPA of your activities and obtain
a U.S. EPA Identification Number. You can satisfy
both of these requirements by completing and signing
the enclosed notification form and mailing it to the
appropriate address listed in Part C of this section.
Per the Hazardous Waste Import Regulations, 40
CFR 262.60, foreign generators should wt apply for a
Federal I.D. number. These regulations state that
when filling out a U.S. manifest, you must include the
name and address of the foreign generator, and the
name and address and EPA I.D. number of the
importer. Please contact the U.S. firms involved with
your shipments and determine which firm will serve as
importer.
If this is a subsequent notification, you need to
complete Items I, n, HI, VI, VH, VHI and X and any
other sections that are being added to (i.e., newly
regulated activities) or altered (i.e., installation
contact). All other sections may be left blank.
A) How Many Forms Should I File?
A person who is subject to the hazardous waste
regulations and/or the waste-as-fuel regulations
under RCRA should submit one notification form
per site or location. If you conduct hazardous
waste activities at more than one location, you
must submit a separate form for each location. (If
you previously notified for hazardous waste
activities and are now notifying for waste-as-fuel
activities at the same location, you must submit a
second form, but your U.S. EPA Identification
Number will remain the same).
If you only transport hazardous waste and do not
generate, market, burn, treat, store, or dispose of
these wastes, you may submit one form which
covers all transportation activities your company
conducts. This form should be sent to the
appropriate address (listed in Part C) that serves
the State where your company has its
headquarters or principal place of business.
However, if you are a transporter who also
generates, treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous
wastes, you must complete and submit separate
notification forms to cover each location.
B) Can I Request That This Information Be Kept
Confidential?
All information you submit in a notification can be
released to the public, according to the Freedom of
Information Act, unless it is determined to be
confidential by U.S. EPA pursuant to 40 CFR Part
2. Since notification information is very general,
the U.S. EPA believes it is unlikely that any
information in your notification could qualify to be
protected from release. However, you may make a
claim of confidentiality by printing the word
"CONFIDENTIAL" on both sides of the
Notification Form and on any attachments.
EPA will take action on the confidentiality claims
in accordance with 40 CFR Part 2.
C) Where Should I Send My Completed Form?
Listed alphabetically, on the following pages, are
the addresses and phone numbers of the proper
contacts in each State where you can get additional
information and more forms, and where you
should mail your completed forms. As shown
here, the U.S. EPA and many States have arranged
for the States to answer your questions and receive
completed forms. In a few instances, the workload
is shared between U.S. EPA and the State, or
handled by U.S. EPA alone. To avoid delay and
confusion, follow the directions for your State very
carefully.

IV. Line-by-Line Instructions for Completing
EPA Form 8700-12
Type or print in black ink all items except Item X,
"Signature," leaving a blank box between words. The
boxes are spaced at 1/4" intervals which
accommodate elite type (12 characters per inch).
When typing, hit the space bar twice between
characters. If you print, place each character in a box.
Abbreviate if necessary to stay within the number of
boxes allowed for each Item. If you must use
additional sheets, indicate clearly the number of the
Item on the form to which the information on the
separate sheet applies.
Note: When submitting a subsequent notification
form, notifiers must complete in their entirety Items I,
II, III, VI, VII, VIII and X. Other sections that are
being added to (i.e., newly regulated activities) or
altered (i.e., installation contact) must also be
completed. All other sections may be left blank.
Item I — Installation's EPA ID Number:
Place an "X" in the appropriate box to indicate
whether this is your first or a subsequent notification

blank if this is your first notification for this site.
Note: When the owner of a facility changes, the new
owner must notify U.S. EPA of the change, even if the
previous owner already received a U.S. EPA
Identification Number. Because the U.S. EPA ID
Number is "site-specific, "the new owner will keep the
existing ID number. If the facility moves to another
location, the owner/operator must notify EPA of this
change. In this instance a new U.S. EPA
Identification Number will be assigned, since the
facility has changed locations.
Items II and III — Name and Location of

VI. EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers for
Waste Streams Commonly Generated by
Small Quantity Generators
The Environmental Protection Agency recognizes
that generators of small quantities of hazardous
waste, many of which are small businesses, may not be
familiar with the manner in which hazardous waste
materials are identified in the Code of Federal
Regulations. This insert has been assembled in order
to aid small quantity generators in determining for
their wastes the EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers
that are needed to complete the "Notification of
Regulated Waste Activity," Form 8700-12.
This insert is composed of two tables. Table 1 lists
eighteen general industry categories that contain
small quantity generators. For each of these
categories, commonly generated hazardous waste
streams are identified. Table 2 lists EPA Hazardous
Waste Numbers for each waste stream identified in
Table 1.
To use this insert:
1. Locate your industry in Table 1 to identify the
waste streams common to your activities.
2. Find each of your waste streams in Table 2,
and review the more detailed descriptions of
typical wastes to determine which waste
streams actually result from your activities.
3. If you determine that a waste stream does
apply to you, report the 4-digit EPA
Hazardous Waste Number in Item IX. B. of
Form 8700-12, "Notification of Regulated
Waste Activity."
The industries and waste streams described here do
not provide a comprehensive list but rather serve as a
guide to potential small quantity generators in
determining which of their wastes, if any, are
hazardous. Except for the pesticide category, this
insert does not include EPA Hazardous Waste
Numbers for commercial chemical products that are
hazardous when discarded unused. These chemicals
and their EPA Hazardous Waste Number are listed
in 40 CFR 261.33.
If the specific Hazardous Waste Number that should
be applied to your waste stream is unclear, please
refer to 40 CFR Part 261, reprinted in Section YE of
this notification package. In those cases where more
than one Hazardous Waste Number is applicable, all
should be used. If you have any questions, or if you
are unable to determine the proper EPA Hazardous
Waste Numbers for your wastes, contact your state
hazardous waste management agency as listed in
Section in of this notification package, or the
RCRA/Superfund Hotline at 1-800-424-9346.

REACTIVES:
Reactive wastes include reactive materials or mixtures which are unstable, react violently with or form explosive
mixtures with water, generate toxic gases or vapors when mixed with water (or when exposed to pH conditions
between 2 and 12.5 in the case of cyanide or sulfide bearing wastes), or are capable of detonation or explosive
reaction when irritated or heated (for a complete description of reactive wastes, see 40 CFR 261.23, Characteristic
of reactivity). Unless otherwise specified, all reactive wastes have an EPA Hazardous Waste Number of D003.
The following materials are commonly considered to be reactive:
Waste Stream EPA Hazardous Waste Number
Acetyl Chloride D003
Chromic Acid D003
Cyanides D003
Organic Peroxides D003
Perchlorates D003
Permanganates D003
Hypochlorites D003
Suffides D003
SPENT PLATING AND CYANIDE WASTES:
Spent plating wastes contain cleaning solutions and plating solutions with caustics, solvents, heavy metals and
cyanides. Cyanide wastes may also be generated from heat treatment operations, pigment production and
manufacturing of anti-caking agents. Plating wastes are generally Hazardous Waste Numbers F006-F009. Heat
treatment wastes are generally Hazardous Waste Numbers F010-F012. See 40 CFR 261.31 for a more complete
description of plating wastes.
WOOD PRESERVING AGENTS:
Compounds or mixtures used in wood preserving, including the wastewater treatment sludge from wastewater
treatment operations, are considered hazardous. Bottom sediment sludges from the treatment of wastewater
processes that use creosote or pentachlorophenol are hazardous, and have an EPA Hazardous Waste Number of
K001. Unless otherwise indicated, specific wood preserving components are:
Waste Stream EPA Hazardous Waste Number
Chromated Copper Arsenate D004
Creosote K001
Pentachlorophenol K001

Subpart A—General
§ 261.1 Purpose and scope.
(a) This part identifies those solid
wastes which are subject to regulation
as hazardous wastes under parts 262
through 265, 268, and parts 270, 271,
and 124 of this chapter and which are
subject to the notification require-
ments of section 3010 of RCRA. In
this part:
(1) Subpart A defines the terms
"solid waste" and "hazardous waste",
identifies those wastes which are ex-
cluded from regulation under parts
262 through 266, 268 and 270 and es-
tablishes special management require-
ments for hazardous waste produced
by conditionally exempt small quanti-
ty generators and hazardous waste
which is recycled.
(2) Subpart B sets forth the criteria
used by EPA to identify characteris-
tics of hazardous waste and to list par-
ticular hazardous wastes.
(3) Subpart C identifies characteris-
tics of hazardous waste.
(4) Subpart D lists particular haz-
ardous wastes.
(b)(l) The definition of solid waste
contained in this part applies only to
wastes that also are hazardous for pur-
poses of the regulations implementing
Subtitle C of RCRA. For example, it
does not apply to materials (such as
non-hazardous scrap, paper, textiles,
or rubber) that are not otherwise haz-
ardous wastes and that are recycled.
(2) This part identifies only some of
the materials which are solid wastes
and hazardous wastes under sections
3007, 3013, and 7003 of RCRA. A mate-
rial which is not defined as a solid
waste in this part, or is not a hazard-
ous waste identified or listed in this
27
-------
§ 261.2
40 CFR Ch. I (7-1-91 Edition)
part, is still a solid waste and a hazard-
ous waste for purposes of these sec-
tions if:
(1) In the case of sections 3007 and
3013, EPA has reason to believe that
the material may be a solid waste
within the meaning of section 1004(27)
of RCRA and a hazardous waste
within the meaning of section 1004(5)
of RCRA; or
(ii) In the case of section 7003, the
statutory elements are established.
(c) For the purposes of §5 261.2 and
261.6:
(DA "spent material" is any materi-
al that has been used and as a result
of contamination can no longer serve
the purpose for which it was produced
without processing;
(2) "Sludge" has the same meaning
used in § 260.10 of this chapter;
(3) A "by-product" is a material that
is not one of the primary products of a
production process and is not solely or
separately produced by the production
process. Examples are process residues
such as slags or distillation column
bottoms. The term does not include a
co-product that is produced for the
general public's use and is ordinarily
used in the form it is produced by the
process.
(4) A material is "reclaimed" if it is
processed to recover a usable product,
or if it is regenerated. Examples are
recovery of lead values from spent bat-
teries and regeneration of spent sol-
vents.
(5) A material is "used or reused" if
it is either:
(i) Employed as an ingredient (in-
cluding use as an intermediate) in an
industrial process to make a product
(for example, distillation bottoms
from one process used as feedstock in
another process). However, a material
will not satisfy this condition if dis-
tinct components of the material are
recovered as separate end products (as
when metals are recovered from
metal-containing secondary materials);
or
(ii) Employed in a particular func-
tion or application as an effective sub-
stitute for a commercial product (for
example, spent pickle liquor used as
phosphorous precipitant and sludge
conditioner in wastewater treatment).
(6) "Scrap metal" is bits and pieces
of metal parts (e.0.,) bars, turnings,
rods, sheets, wire) or metal pieces that
may be combined together with bolts
or soldering (e.g., radiators, scrap auto-
mobiles, railroad box cars), which
when worn or superfluous can be recy-
cled.
(7) A material is "recycled" if it is
used, reused, or reclaimed.
(8) A material is "accumulated spec-
ulatively" if it is accumulated before
being recycled. A material is not accu-
mulated speculatively, however, if the
person accumulating it can show that
the material is potentially recyclable
and has a feasible means of being recy-
cled; and that—during the calendar
year (commencing on January 1)—the
amount of material that is recycled, or
transferred to a different site for recy-
cling, equals at least 75 percent by
weight or volume of the amount of
that material accumulated at the be-
ginning of the period. In calculating
the percentage of turnover, the 75 per-
cent requirement is to be applied to
each material of the same type (e.g.,
slags from a single smelting process)
that is recycled in the same way (i.e.,
from which the same material is recov-
ered or that is used in the same way).
Materials accumulating in units that
would be exempt from regulation
under § 261.4(c) are not be included in
making the calculation. (Materials
that are already defined as solid
wastes also are not to be included in
making the calculation.) Materials are
no longer in this category once they
are removed from accumulation for re-
cycling, however.

§ 261.2 Definition of solid waste.
(a)(l) A solid waste is any discarded
material that is not excluded by
§ 261.4(a) or that is not excluded by
variance granted under §§ 260.30 and
260.31.
(2) A discarded material is any mate-
rial which is:
(i) Abandoned, as explained in para-
graph (b) of this section; or
28
-------
Environmental Protection Agency
§261.2
(ii) Recycled, as explained in para-
graph (c) of this section; or
(iii) Considered inherently waste-
like, as explained in paragraph (d) of
this section.
(b) Materials are solid waste if they
are abandoned by being:
(1) Disposed of; or
(2) Burned or incinerated; or
(3) Accumulated, stored, or treated
(but not recycled) before or in lieu of
being abandoned by being disposed of,
burned, or incinerated.
(c) Materials are solid wastes if they
are recycled—or accumulated, stored,
or treated before recycling—as speci-
fied in paragraphs (c)(l) through (4)
of this section.
(1) Used in a manner constituting
disposal, (i) Materials noted with a "*"
in Column 1 of Table I are solid wastes
when they are:
(A) Applied to or placed on the land
in a manner that constitutes disposal;
or
(B) Used to produce products that
are applied to or placed on the land or
are otherwise contained in products
that are applied to or placed on the
land (in which cases the product itself
remains a solid waste).
(ii) However, commercial chemical
products listed in § 261.33 are not solid
wastes if they are applied to the land
and that is their ordinary manner of
use.
(2) Burning for energy recovery, (i)
Materials noted with a "*" in column 2
of Table 1 are solid wastes when they
are:
(A) Burned to recover energy;
(B) Used to produce a fuel or are
otherwise contained in fuels (in which
cases the fuel itself remains a solid
waste).
(ii) However, commercial chemical
products listed in § 261.33 are not solid
wastes if they are themselves fuels.
(3) Reclaimed. Materials noted with
a "*" in column 3 of Table 1 are solid
wastes when reclaimed.
(4) Accumulated speculatively. Mate-
rials noted with a "*" in column 4 of
Table 1 are solid wastes when accumu-
lated speculatively.

Note: The terms "spent materials", "sludges", "by-products," and "scrap metal" are defined in §261.1.
(d) Inherently waste-like materials.
The following materials are solid
wastes when they are recycled in any
manner:
(1) Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021
(unless used as an ingredient to make
a product at the site of generation),
F022, F023, F026, and F028.
(2) Secondary materials fed to a
halogen acid furnace that exhibit a
characteristic of a hazardous waste or
are listed as a hazardous waste as de-
fined in subparts C or D of this part.
(3) The Administrator will use the
following criteria to add wastes to that
list:
(i)(A) The materials are ordinarily
disposed of, burned, or incinerated; or
(B) The materials contain toxic con-
stituents listed in appendix VIII of
part 261 and these constituents are
not ordinarily found in raw materials
or products for which the materials
substitute (or are.found in raw materi-
als or products in smaller concentra-
tions) and are not used or reused
during the recycling process; and
29
-------
§261.3
40 CFR Ch. I (7-1-91 Edition)
(ii) The material may pose a sub-
stantial hazard to human health and
the environment when recycled.
(e) Materials that are not solid waste
when recycled. (1) Materials are not
solid wastes when they can be shown
to be recycled by being:
(i) Used or reused as ingredients in
an industrial process to make a prod-
uct, provided the materials are not
being reclaimed; or
(ii) Used or reused as effective sub-
stitutes for commercial products; or
(iii) Returned to the original process
from which they are generated, with-
out first being reclaimed. The material
must be returned as a substitute for
raw material feedstock, and the proc-
ess must use raw materials as principal
feedstocks.
(2) The following materials are solid
wastes, even if the recycling involves
use, reuse, or return to the original
process (described in paragraphs (e)(l)
(i) through (iii) of this section):
(i) Materials used in a manner con-
stituting disposal, or used to produce
products that are applied to the land;
or
(ii) Materials burned for energy re-
covery, used to produce a fuel, or con-
tained in fuels; or
(iii) Materials accumulated specula-
tively; or
(iv) Materials listed in paragraph
(d)(l) of this section.
(f) Documentation of claims that
materials are not solid wastes or are
conditionally exempt from regulation.
Respondents in actions to enforce reg-
ulations implementing Subtitle C of
RCRA who raise a claim that a certain
material is not a solid waste, or is con-
ditionally exempt from regulation,
must demonstrate that there is a
known market or disposition for the
material, and that they meet the
terms of the exclusion or exemption.
In doing so, they must provide appro-
priate documentation (such as con-
tracts showing that a second person
uses the material as an ingredient in a
production process) to demonstrate
that the material is not a waste, or is
exempt from regulation. In addition,
owners or operators of facilities claim-
ing that they actually are recycling
materials must show that they have
the necessary equipment to do so.

EFFECTIVE DATE NOTE: At 56 FR 7206, Feb-
ruary 21, 1991, § 261.2 was amended by re-
designating paragraph (d)(2) as (d)(3) and
adding a new paragraph (d)(2), effective
August 21, 1991.
§ 261.3 Definition of hazardous waste.
(a) A solid waste, as defined in
§ 261.2, is a hazardous waste if:
(1) It is not excluded from regula-
tion as a hazardous waste under
§ 261.4(b); and
(2) It meets any of the following cri-
teria:
(i) It exhibits any of the characteris-
tics of hazardous waste identified in
subpart C except that any mixture of
a waste from the extraction, beneficia-
tion, and processing of ores and miner-
als excluded under § 261.4(b)(7) and
any other solid waste exhibiting a
characteristic of hazardous waste
under subpart C of this part only if it
exhibits a characteristic that would
not have been exhibited by the ex-
cluded waste alone if such mixture
had not occurred or if it continues to
exhibit any of the characteristics ex-
hibited by the non-excluded wastes
prior to mixture. Further, for the pur-
poses of applying the Extraction Pro-
cedure Toxicity characteristic to such
mixtures, the mixture is also a hazard-
ous waste if it exceeds the maximum
concentration for any contaminant
listed in table I to § 261.24 that would
not have been exceeded by the ex-
cluded waste alone if the mixture had
not occurred or if it continues to
exceed the maximum concentration
for any contaminant exceeded by the
nonexempt waste prior to mixture.
(ii) It is listed in subpart D and has
not been excluded from the lists in
subpart D under §§ 260.20 and 260.22
of this chapter.
(iii) It is a mixture of a solid waste
and a hazardous waste that is listed in
subpart D of this part solely because it
exhibits one or more of the character-
istics of hazardous waste identified in
subpart C, unless the resultant mix-
ture no longer exhibits any character-
istic of hazardous waste identified in
subpart C of this part or unless the
solid waste is excluded from regulation
30
-------
Environmental Protection Agency
§ 261.3
under § 261.4(b)(7) and the resultant
mixture no longer exhibits any charac-
teristic of hazardous waste identified
in subpart C of this part for which the
hazardous waste listed in subpart D of
this part was listed.
(iv) It is a mixture of solid waste and
one or more hazardous wastes listed in
subpart D and has not been excluded
from this paragraph under §§ 260.20
and 260.22 of this chapter; however,
the following mixtures of solid wastes
and hazardous wastes listed in subpart
D are not hazardous wastes (except by
application of paragraph (a)(2) (i) or
(ii) of this section) if the generator can
demonstrate that the mixture consists
of wastewater the discharge of which
is subject to regulation under either
section 402 or section 307(b) of the
Clean Water Act (including
wastewater at facilities which have
eliminated the discharge of
wastewater) and:
(A) One or more of the following
spent solvents listed in §261.31—
carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethy-
lene, trichoroethylene—Provided,
That the maximum total weekly usage
of these solvents (other than the
amounts that can be demonstrated not
to be discharged to wastewater) divid-
ed by the average weekly flow of
wastewater into the headworks of the
facility's wastewater treatment or pre-
treatment system does not exceed 1
part per million; or
(B) One or more of the following
spent solvents listed in § 261.31—meth-
ylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane,
chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, cre-
sols, cresylic acid, nitrobenzene, tolu-
ene, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon di-
sulfide, isobutanol, pyridine, spent
chlorofluorocarbon solvents—provided
that the maximum total weekly usage
of these solvents (other than the
amounts that can be demonstrated not
to be discharged to wastewater) divid-
ed by the average weekly flow of
wastewater into the headworks of the
facility's wastewater treatment or pre-
treatment system does not exceed 25
parts per million; or
(C) One of the following wastes
listed in § 261.32—heat exchanger
bundle cleaning sludge from the petro-
leum refining industry (EPA Hazard-
ous Waste No. K050); or
(D) A discarded commercial chemi-
cal product, or chemical intermediate
listed in § 261.33, arising from de mini-
mis losses of these materials from
manufacturing operations in which
these materials are used as raw mate-
rials or are produced in the manufac-
turing process. For purposes of this
subparagraph, "de minimis" losses in-
clude those from normal material han-
dling operations (e.g. spills from the
unloading or transfer of materials
from bins or other containers, leaks
from pipes, valves or other devices
used to transfer materials); minor
leaks of process equipment, storage
tanks or containers; leaks from well-
maintained pump packings and seals;
sample purgings; relief device dis-
charges; discharges from safety show-
ers and rinsing and cleaning of person-
al safety equipment; and rinsate from
empty containers or from containers
that are rendered empty by that rins-
ing; or
(E) Wastewater resulting from labo-
ratory operations containing toxic (T)
wastes listed in subpart D, Provided,
That the annualized average flow of
laboratory wastewater does not exceed
one percent of total wastewater flow
into the headworks of the facility's
wastewater treatment or pre-treat-
ment system, or provided the wastes,
combined annualized average concen-
tration does not exceed one part per
million in the headworks of the facili-
ty's wastewater treatment or pre-treat-
ment facility. Toxic (T) wastes used in
laboratories that are demonstrated
not to be discharged to wastewater are
not to be included in this calculation.
(b) A solid waste which is not ex-
cluded from regulation under para-
graph (aXl) of this section becomes a
hazardous waste when any of the fol-
lowing events occur:
(1) In the case of a waste listed in
subpart D, when the waste first meets
the listing description set forth in sub-
part D.
(2) In the case of a mixture of solid
waste and one or more listed hazard-
ous wastes, when a hazardous waste
listed in subpart D is first added to the
solid waste.
(3) In the case of any other waste
(including a waste mixture), when the
31
-------
§261.4
40 CFR Ch. I (7-1-91 Edition)
waste exhibits any of the characteris-
tics identified in subpart C.
(c) Unless and until it meets the cri-
teria of paragraph (d):
(DA hazardous waste will remain a
hazardous waste.
(2)(i) Except as otherwise provided
in paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section,
any solid waste generated from the
treatment, storage, or disposal of a
hazardous waste, including any sludge,
spill residue, ash, emission control
dust, or leachate (but not including
precipitation run-off) is a hazardous
waste. (However, materials that are re-
claimed from solid wastes and that are
used beneficially are not solid wastes
and hence are not hazardous wastes
under this provision unless the re-
claimed material is burned for energy
recovery or used in a manner consti-
tuting disposal.)
(ii) The following solid wastes are
not hazardous even though they are
generated from the treatment, stor-
age, or disposal of a hazardous waste,
unless they exhibit one or more of the
characteristics of hazardous waste:
(A) Waste pickle liquor sludge gener-
ated by lime stabilization of spent
pickle liquor from the iron and steel
industry (SIC Codes 331 and 332).
(B) Waste from burning any of the
materials exempted from regulation
by § 261.6(a)(3) (v) through (viii).
(d) Any solid waste described in
paragraph (c) of this section is not a
hazardous waste if it meets the follow-
ing criteria:
(1) In the case of any solid waste, it
does not exhibit any of the character-
istics of hazardous waste identified in
subpart C. (However, wastes that ex-
hibit a characteristic at the point of
generation may still be subject to the
requirements of part 268, even if they
no longer exhibit a characteristic at
the point of land disposal.)
(2) In the case of a waste which is a
listed waste under subpart D, contains
a waste listed under subpart D or is de-
rived from a waste listed in subpart D,
it also has been excluded from para-
graph (c) under §§ 260.20 and 260.22 of
this chapter.

solid waste from the processing of ores and
minerals will include only the following
wastes, until EPA completes a report to
§261.5
Congress and a regulatory determination on
their ultimate regulatory status:
§261.5 Special requirements for hazard-
ous waste generated by conditionally
exempt small quantity generators.
(a) A generator is a conditionally
exempt small quantity generator in a
calendar month if he generates no
more than 100 kilograms of hazardous
waste in that month.
(b) Except for those wastes identi-
fied in paragraphs (e), (f), (g), and (j)
of this section, a conditionally exempt
small quantity generator's hazardous
wastes are not subject to regulation
under parts 262 through 266, 268, and
parts 270 and 124 of this chapter, and
the notification requirements of sec-
tion 3010 of RCRA, provided the gen-
erator complies with the requirements
of paragraphs (f), (g), and (j) of this
section.
(c) Hazardous waste that is not sub-
ject to regulation or that is subject
only to §262.11, §262.12, § 262.40(c),
and § 262.41 is not included in the
quantity determinations of this part
and parts 262 through 266, 268, and
270 and is not subject to any of the re-
quirements of those parts. Hazardous
waste that is subject to the require-
ments of § 261.6 (b) and (c) and sub-
parts C, D, and F of part 266 is includ-
ed in the quantity determination of
this part and is subject to the require-
ments of parts 262 through 266 and
270.
(d) In determining the quantity of
hazardous waste generated, a genera-
tor need not include:
(1) Hazardous waste when it is re-
moved from on-site storage; or
(2) Hazardous waste produced by on-
site treatment (including reclamation)
of his hazardous waste, so long as the
hazardous waste that is treated was
counted once; or
(3) Spent materials that are generat-
ed, reclaimed, and subsequently reused
on-site, so long as such spent materials
have been counted once.
(e) If a generator generates acute
hazardous waste in a calendar month
in quantities greater than set forth
below, all quantities of that acute haz-

Subpart B—Criteria for Identifying
the Characteristics of Hazardous
Waste and for Listing Hazardous
Waste
§ 261.10 Criteria for identifying the char-
acteristics of hazardous waste.
(a) The Administrator shall identify
and define a characteristic of hazard-
ous waste in subpart C only upon de-
termining that:
(DA solid waste that exhibits the
characteristic may:
(i) Cause, or significantly contribute
to, an increase in mortality or an in-
43
-------
§261.11
40 CFR Ch. I (7-1-91 Edition)
crease in serious irreversible, or inca-
pacitating reversible, illness; or
(ii) Pose a substantial present or po-
tential hazard to human health or the
environment when it is improperly
treated, stored, transported, disposed
of or otherwise managed; and
(2) The characteristic can be:
(i) Measured by an available stand-
ardized test method which is reason-
ably within the capability of genera-
tors of solid waste or private sector
laboratories that are available to serve
generators of solid waste; or
(ii) Reasonably detected by genera-
tors of solid waste through their
knowledge of their waste.
§261.11 Criteria for listing hazardous
waste.
(a) The Administrator shall list a
solid waste as a hazardous waste only
upon determining that the solid waste
meets one of the following criteria:
(1) It exhibits any of the character-
istics of hazardous waste identified in
subpart C.
(2) It has been found to be fatal to
humans in low doses or, in the absence
of data on human toxicity, it has been
shown in studies to have an oral LD 50
toxicity (rat) of less than 50 milli-
grams per kilogram, an inhalation LC
50 toxicity (rat) of less than 2 milli-
grams per liter, or a dermal LD 50 tox-
icity (rabbit) of less than 200 milli-
grams per kilogram or is otherwise ca-
pable of causing or significantly con-
tributing to an increase in serious irre-
versible, or incapacitating reversible,
illness. (Waste listed in accordance
with these criteria will be designated
Acute Hazardous Waste.)
(3) It contains any of the toxic con-
stituents listed in appendix VIII and,
after considering the following factors,
the Administrator concludes that the
waste is capable of posing a substan-
tial present or potential hazard to
human health or the environment
when improperly treated, stored,
transported or disposed of, or other-
wise managed:
(i) The nature of the toxicity pre-
sented by the constituent.
(ii) The concentration of the constit-
uent in the waste.
(iii) The potential of the constituent
or any toxic degradation product of
the constituent to migrate from the
waste into the environment under the
types of improper management consid-
ered in paragraph (aXSXvii) of this
section.
(iv) The persistence of the constitu-
ent or any toxic degradation product
of the constituent.
(v) The potential for the constituent
or any toxic degradation product of
the constituent to degrade into non-
harmful constituents and the rate of
degradation.
(vi) The degree to which the constit-
uent or any degradation product of
the constituent bioaccumulates in eco-
systems.
(vii) The plausible types of improper
management to which the waste could
be subjected.
(viii) The quantities of the waste
generated at individual generation
sites or on a regional or national basis.
(ix) The nature and severity of the
human health and environmental
damage that has occurred as a result
of the improper management of
wastes containing the constituent.
(x) Action taken by other govern-
mental agencies or regulatory pro-
grams based on the health or environ-
mental hazard posed by the waste or
waste constituent.
(xi) Such other factors as may be ap-
propriate.
Substances will be listed on appendix
VIII only if they have been shown in
scientific studies to have toxic, carci-
nogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic ef-
fects on humans or other life forms.
(Wastes listed in accordance with
these criteria will be designated Toxic
wastes.)
(b) The Administrator may list class-
es or types of solid waste as hazardous
waste if he has reason to believe that
individual wastes, within the class or
type of waste, typically or frequently
are hazardous under the definition of
hazardous waste found in section
1004(5) of the Act.
(c) The Administrator will use the
criteria for listing specified in this sec-
tion to establish the exclusion limits
referred to in § 261.5(c).

§ 261.20 General.
(a.) A solid waste, as defined in
§ 261.2, which is not excluded from
regulation as a hazardous waste under
§ 261.4(b), is a hazardous waste if it ex-
hibits any of the characteristics identi-
fied in this subpart.
(.Comment: § 262.11 of this chapter sets
forth the generator's responsibility to deter-
mine whether his waste exhibits one or
more of the characteristics identified in this
subpart]
(b) A hazardous waste which is iden-
tified by a characteristic in this sub-
part is assigned every EPA Hazardous
Waste Number that is applicable as set
forth in this subpart. This number
must be used in complying with the
notification requirements of section
3010 of the Act and all applicable rec-
ordkeeping and reporting require-
ments under parts 262 through 265,
268, and 270 of this chapter.
(c) For purposes of this subpart, the
Administrator will consider a sample
obtained using any of the applicable
sampling methods specified in appen-
dix I to be a representative sample
within the meaning of part 260 of this
chapter.
[Comment Since the appendix I sampling
methods are not being formally adopted by
the Administrator, a person who desires to
employ an alternative sampling method is
not required to demonstrate the equivalency
of his method under the procedures set
forth in §§ 260.20 and 260.21.]

§ 261.21 Characteristic of ignitability.
(a) A solid waste exhibits the charac-
teristic of ignitability if a representa-
tive sample of the waste has any of
the following properties:
(1) It is a liquid, other than an aque-
ous solution containing less than 24
percent alcohol by volume and has
flash point less than 60°C (140°F), as
determined by a Pensky-Martens
Closed Cup Tester, using the test
method specified in ASTM Standard
D-93-79 or D-93-80 (incorporated by
reference, see § 260.11), or a Setaflash
Closed Cup Tester, using the test
method specified in ASTM Standard
D-3278-78 (incorporated by reference,
see §260.11), or as determined by an
equivalent test method approved by
the Administrator under procedures
set forth in §§ 260.20 and 260.21.
(2) It is not a liquid and is capable,
under standard temperature and pres-
sure, of causing fire through friction,
absorption of moisture or spontaneous
chemical changes and, when ignited,
burns so , vigorously and persistently
that it creates a hazard.
(3) It is an ignitable compressed gas
as defined in 49 CFR 173.300 and as
determined by the test methods de-
scribed in that regulation or equiva-

ings, oil/water/solids is defined as oil and/or water and/or solids.
(2) (i) For the purposes of the F037 and F038 listings, aggressive biological
treatment units are defined as units which employ one of the following four
treatment methods: activated sludge; trickling filter; rotating biological contac-
tor for the continuous accelerated biological oxidation of wastewaters; or high-
rate aeration. High-rate aeration is a system of surface impoundments or tanks,
in which intense mechanical aeration is used to completely mix the wastes, en-
hance biological activity, and (A) the units employs a minimum of 6 hp per mil-
lion gallons of treatment volume; and either (B) the hydraulic retention time of
the unit is no longer than 5 days; or (C) the hydraulic retention time is no
longer than 30 days and the unit does not generate a sludge that is a hazardous
waste by the Toxicity Characteristic.
(ii) Generators and treatment, storage and disposal facilities have the burden
of proving that their sludges are exempt from listing as F037 and F038 wastes
under this definition. Generators and treatment, storage and disposal facilities
must maintain, in their operating or other onsite records, documents and data
sufficient to prove that: (A) the unit is an aggressive biological treatment unit as
defined in this subsection; and (B) the sludges sought to be exempted from the
definitions of F037 and/or F038 were actually generated in the aggressive bio-
logical treatment unit.
(3) (i) For the purposes of the F037 listing, sludges are considered to be gener-
ated at the moment of deposition in the unit, where deposition is defined as at
least a temporary cessation of lateral particle movement.
(ii) For the purposes of the F038 listing,
(A) sludges are considered to be generated at the moment of deposition in the
unit, where deposition is defined as at least a temporary cessation of lateral par-

Sections Affected in the Finding Aids section of this volume.
§ 261.33 Discarded commercial chemical
products, off-specification species, con-
tainer residues, and spill residues
thereof.
The following materials or items are
hazardous wastes if and when they are
discarded or intended to be discarded
as described in § 261.2(a)(2)(i), when
they are mixed with waste oil or used
oil or other material and applied to
the land for dust suppression or road
treatment, when they are otherwise
applied to the land in lieu of their
original intended use or when they are
contained in products that are applied
to the land in lieu of their original in-
tended use, or when, in lieu of their
original intended use, they are pro-
duced for use as (or as a component
of) a fuel, distributed for use as a fuel,
or burned as a fuel.
(a) Any commercial chemical prod-
uct, or manufacturing chemical inter-
mediate having the generic name
listed in paragraph (e) or (f) of this
section.
(b) Any off-specification commercial
chemical product or manufacturing
chemical intermediate which, if it met
specifications, would have the generic
name listed in paragraph (e) or (f) of
this section.
(c) Any residue remaining in a con-
tainer or in an inner liner removed
from a container that has held any
commercial chemical product or man-
ufacturing chemical intermediate
having the generic name listed in
paragraphs (e) or (f) of this section,
unless the container is empty as de-
fined in § 261.7(b) of this chapter.
[.Comment: Unless the residue is being bene-
ficially used or reused, or legitimately recy-
cled or reclaimed; or being accumulated,
stored, transported or treated prior to such
use, re-use, recycling or reclamation, EPA
considers the residue to be intended for dis-
card, and thus, a hazardous waste. An exam-
ple of a legitimate re-use of the residue
would be where the residue remains in the
container and the container is used to hold
the same commercial chemical product or
manufacturing chemical intermediate it pre-
viously held. An example of the discard of
the residue would be where the drum is sent
to a drum reconditioner who reconditions
the drum but discards the residue.]
(d) Any residue or contaminated soil,
water or other debris resulting from
the cleanup of a spill into or on any
land or water of any commercial
chemical product or manufacturing
chemical intermediate having the ge-
neric name listed in paragraph (e) or
(f) of this section, or any residue or
contaminated soil, water or other
debris resulting from the cleanup of a
spill, into or on any land or water, of
any off-specification chemical product
and manufacturing chemical interme-
diate which, if it met specifications,
would have the generic name listed in
paragraph (e) or (f) of this section.
I Comment: The phrase "commercial chemi-
cal product or manufacturing chemical in-
termediate having the generic name listed
in . . ." refers to a chemical substance
which is manufactured or formulated for
commercial or manufacturing use which
consists of the commercially pure grade of
the chemical, any technical grades of the
chemical that are produced or marketed,
and all formulations in which the chemical
is the sole active ingredient. It does not
refer to a material, such as a, manufacturing
process waste, that contains any of the sub-
stances listed in paragraph (e) or (f). Where
a manufacturing process waste is deemed to
be a hazardous waste because it contains a
substance listed in paragraph (e) or (f), such
waste will be listed in either § 261.31 or
53
-------
§261.33
§ 261.32 or will be identified as a hazardous
waste by the characteristics set forth in sub-
part C of this part.]
(e) The commercial chemical prod-
ucts, manufacturing chemical interme-
diates or off-specification commercial
chemical products or manufacturing
chemical intermediates referred to in
paragraphs (a) through (d) of this sec-
tion, are identified as acute hazardous
wastes (H) and are subject to be the
small quantity exclusion defined in
§ 261.5(e).
40 CFR Ch. I (7-1-91 Edition)
[Comment: For the convenience of the regu-
lated community the primary hazardous
properties of these materials have been indi-
cated by the letters T (Toxicity), and R (Re-
activity). Absence of a letter indicates that
the compound only is listed for acute toxici-
ty.]

EDITORIAL NOTE: For FEDERAL REGISTER citations affecting § 261.33, see the List of CFR
Sections Affected in the Finding Aids section of this volume.
§261.35 Deletion of certain hazardous
waste codes following equipment clean-
ing and replacement.
(a) Wastes from wood preserving
processes at plants that do not resume
or initiate use of chlorophenolic pre-
servatives will not meet the listing def-
inition of F032 once the generator has
met all of the requirements of para-
graphs (b) and (c) of this section.
These wastes may, however, continue
to meet another hazardous waste list-
ing description or may exhibit one or
more of the hazardous waste charac-
teristics.
(b) Generators must either clean or
replace all process equipment that
may have come into contact with
chlorophenolic formulations or con-
stituents thereof, including, but not
limited to, treatment cylinders, sumps,
tanks, piping systems, drip pads, fork
lifts, and trams, in a manner that
minimizes or eliminates the escape of
hazardous waste or constituents,
leachate, contaminated drippage, or
hazardous waste decomposition prod-
ucts to the ground water, surface
water, or atmosphere.
(1) Generators shall do one of the
following:
(i) Prepare and follow an equipment
cleaning plan and clean equipment in
accordance with this section;
64
-------
Environmental Protection Agency
Pt. 261, App. I
(ii) Prepare and follow an equipment
replacement plan and replace equip-
ment in accordance with this section;
or
(iii) Document cleaning and replace-
ment in accordance with this section,
carried out after termination of use of
chlorophenolic preservations.
(2) Cleaning Requirements.
(i) Prepare and sign a written equip-
ment cleaning plan that describes:
(A) The equipment to be cleaned;
(B) How the equipment will be
cleaned;
(C) The solvent to be used in clean-
ing;
(D) How solvent rinses will be tested;
and
(E) How cleaning residues will be dis-
posed.
(ii) Equipment must be cleaned as
follows:
(A) Remove all visible residues from
process equipment;
(B) Rinse process equipment with an
appropriate solvent until dioxins and
dibenzofurans are not detected in the
final solvent rinse.
(iii) Analytical requirements.
(A) Rinses must be tested in accord-
ance with SW-846, Method 8290.
(B) "Not detected" means at or
below the lower method calibration
limit (MCL) in Method 8290, Table 1.
(iv) The generator must manage all
residues from the cleaning process as
P032 waste.
(3) Replacement requirements.
(i) Prepare and sign a written equip-
ment replacement plan that describes:
(A) The equipment to be replaced;
(B) How the equipment will be re-
placed; and
(C) How the equipment will be dis-
posed.
(ii) The generator must manage the
discarded equipment as F032 waste.
(4) Documentation requirements.
(i) Document that previous equip-
ment cleaning and/or replacement was
performed in accordance with this sec-
tion and occurred after cessation of
use of chlorophenolic preservatives.
(c) The generator must maintain the
following records documenting the
cleaning and replacement as part of
the facility's operating record:
(1) The name and address of the fa-
cility;
(2) Formulations previously used
and the date on which their use ceased
in each process at the plant;
(3) Formulations currently used in
each process at the plant;
(4) The equipment cleaning or re-
placement plan;
(5) The name and address of any
persons who conducted the cleaning
and replacement;
(6) The dates on which cleaning and
replacement were accomplished;
(7) The dates of sampling and test-
ing;
(8) A description of the sample han-
dling and preparation techniques, in-
cluding techniques used for extrac-
tion, containerization, preservation,
and chain-of-custody of the samples;
(9) A description of the tests per-
formed, the date the tests were per-
formed, and the results of the tests;
(10) The name and model numbers
of the instrument(s) used in perform-
ing the tests;
(11) QA/QC documentation; and
(12) The following statement signed
by the generator or his authorized rep-
resentative:
I certify under penalty of law that all
process equipment required to be cleaned or
replaced under 40 CFR 261.35 was cleaned
or replaced as represented in the equipment
cleaning and replacement plan and accom-
panying documentation. I am aware that
there are significant penalties for providing
false information, including the possibility
of fine or imprisonment.

APPENDIX II—METHOD 1311 TOXICITY
CHARACTERISTIC LEACHING PROCEDURE
(TCLP)
1.0 Scope and Application
1.1 The TCLP is designed to determine
the mobility of both organic and inorganic
analytes present in liquid, solid, and multi-
phasic wastes.
1.2 If a total analysis of the waste dem-
onstrates that individual analytes are not
present in the waste, or that they are
present but at such low concentrations that
the appropriate regulatory levels could not
possibly be exceeded, the TCLP need not be
run.
1.3 If an analysis of any one of the liquid
fractions of the TCLP extract indicates that
a regulated compound is present at such
high concentrations that, even after ac-
counting for dilution from the other frac-
tions of the extract, the concentration
would be equal to or above the regulatory
level for that compound, then the waste is
hazardous and it is not necessary to analyze
the remaining fractions of the extract.
1.4 If an analysis of extract obtained
using a bottle extractor shows that the con-
centration of any regulated volatile analyte
"•These methods are also described in
"Samplers and Sampling Procedures for
Hazardous Waste Streams," EPA 600/2-80-
018, January 1980.
equals or exceeds the regulatory level for
that compound, then the waste is hazardous
and extraction using the ZHE is not neces-
sary. However, extract from a bottle extrac-
tor cannot be used to demonstrate that the
concentration of volatile compounds is
below the regulatory level.
2.0 Summary of Method
2.1 For liquid wastes (i.e., those contain-
ing less than 0.5% dry solid material), the
waste, after filtration through a 0.6 to 0.8
fim glass fiber filter, is defined as the TCLP
extract.
2.2 For wastes containing greater than or
equal to 0.5% solids, the liquid, if any, is
separated from the solid phase and stored
for later analysis; the particle size of the
solid phase is reduced, if necessary. The
solid phase is extracted with an amount of
extraction fluid equal to 20 times the weight
of the solid phase. The extraction fluid em-
ployed is a function of the alkalinity of the
solid phase of the waste. A special extractor
vessel is used when testing for volatile ana-
lytes (see Table 1 for a list of volatile com-
pounds). Following extraction, the liquid ex-
tract is separated from the solid phase by
filtration through a 0.6 to 0.8 jon glass fiber
filter.
2.3 If compatible (i.e., multiple phases
will not form on combination), the initial
liquid phase of the waste is added to the
liquid extract, and these are analyzed to-
gether. If incompatible, the liquids are ana-
lyzed separately and the results are mathe-
matically combined to yield a volume-
weighted average concentration.
3.0 Interferences
3.1 Potential interferences that may be
encountered during analysis are discussed in
the individual analytical methods.
4.0 Apparatus and Materials
4.1 Agitation apparatus: The agitation
apparatus must be capable of rotating the
extraction vessel in an end-over-end fashion
(see Figure 1) at 30 ±2 rpm. Suitable devices
known to EPA are identified in Table 2.
4.2 Extraction Vessels.
4.2.1 Zero-Headspace Extraction Vessel
(ZHE). This device is for use only when the
waste is being tested for the mobility of
volatile analytes (i.e., those listed in Table
1). The ZHE (depicted in Figure 2) allows
for liquid/solid separation within the
device, and effectively precludes headspace.
This type of vessel allows for initial liquid/
solid separation, extraction, and final ex-
tract filtration without opening the vessel
(see section 4.3.1). The vessels shall have an
internal volume of 500-600 mL, and be
equipped to accommodate a 90-110 mm
66

filter. The devices contain VITON* 1 O-rings
which should be replaced frequently. Suita-
ble ZHE devices known to EPA are identi-
fied in Table 3.
For the ZHE to be acceptable for use, the
piston within the ZHE should be able to be
moved with approximately 15 pounds per
square inch (psi) or less. If it takes more
pressure to move the piston, the O-rings in
the device should be replaced. If this does
not solve the problem, the ZHE is unaccept-
able for TCLP analyses and the manufac-
turer should be contacted.
The ZHE should be checked for leaks
after every extraction. If the device contains
a built-in pressure gauge, pressurize the
device to 50 psi, allow it to stand unattended
for 1 hour, and recheck the pressure. If the
device does not have a built-in pressure
gauge, pressurize the device to 50 psi, sub-
merge it in water, and check for the pres-
ence of air bubbles escaping from any of the
fittings. If pressure is lost, check all fittings
and inspect and replace O-rings, if neces-
sary. Retest the device. If leakage problems
cannot be solved, the manufacturer should
be contacted.
Some ZHEs use gas pressure to actuate
the ZHE piston, while others use mechani-
cal pressure (see Table 3). Whereas the vola-
tiles procedures (see section 7.3) refers to
pounds per square inch (psi), for the me-
chanically actuated piston, the pressure ap-
plied is measured in torque-inch-pounds.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions as
to the proper conversion.
4.2.2 Bottle Extraction Vessel. When the
waste is being evaluated using the nonvola-
tile extraction, a jar with sufficient capacity
to hold the sample and the extraction fluid
is needed. Headspace is allowed in this
vessel.
The extraction bottles may be constructed
from various materials, depending on the
analytes to be analyzed and the nature of
the waste (see section 4.3.3). It is recom-
mended that borosilicate glass bottles be
used instead of other types of glass, espe-
cially when inorganics are of concern. Plas-
tic bottles, other than polytetrafluoroethy-
lene, shall not be used if organics are to be
investigated. Bottles are available from a
number of laboratory suppliers. When this
type of extraction vessel is used, the filtra-
tion device discussed in section 4.3.2 is used
for initial liquid/solid separation and final
extract filtration.
4.3 Filtration Devices: It is recommended
that all filtrations be performed in a hood.
4.3.1 Zero-Headspace Extractor Vessel
(ZHE): When the waste is evaluated for vo-
latiles, the zero-headspace extraction vessel
described in section 4.2.1 is used for filtra-

tion. The device shall be capable of support-
ing and keeping in place the glass fiber
filter and be able to withstand the pressure
needed to accomplish separation (50 psi).
NOTE: When it is suspected that the glass
fiber filter has been ruptured, an in-line
glass fiber filter may be used to filter the
material within the ZHE.
4.3.2 Filter Holder: When the waste is
evaluated for other than volatile analytes,
any filter holder capable of supporting a
glass fiber filter and able to withstand the
pressure needed to accomplish separation
may be used. Suitable filter holders range
from simple vacuum units to relatively com-
plex systems capable of exerting pressures
of up to 50 psi or more. The type of filter
holder used depends on the properties of
the material to be filtered (see section 4.3.3).
These devices shall have a minimum inter-
nal volume of 300 mL and be equipped to ac-
commodate a minimum filter size of 47 mm
(filter holders having an internal capacity
of 1.5 L or greater, and equipped to accom-
modate a 142 mm diameter filter, are recom-
mended). Vacuum filtration can only be
used for wastes with low solids content
«10%) and for highly granular, liquid-con-
taining wastes. All other types of wastes
should be filtered using positive pressure fil-
tration. Suitable filter holders known to
EPA are shown in Table 4.
4.3.3 Materials of Construction: Extrac-
tion vessels and filtration devices shall be
made of inert materials which will not leach
or absorb waste components. Glass, polyte-
trafluoroethylene (PTFE), or type 316 stain-
less steel equipment may be used when eval-
uating the mobility of both organic and in-
organic components. Devices made of high
density polyethylene (HOPE), polypropyl-
ene (PP), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) may
be used only when evaluating the mobility
of metals. Borosilicate glass bottles are rec-
ommended for use over other types of glass
bottles, especially when inorganics are ana-
lytes of concern.
4.4 Filters: Filters shall be made of boro-
silicate glass fiber, shall contain no binder
materials, and shall have an effective pore
size of 0.6 to 0.8 /mi, or equivalent. Filters
known to EPA which meet these specifica-
tions are identified in Table 5. Pre-filters
must not be used. When evaluating the mo-
bility of metals, filters shall be acid-washed
prior to use by rinsing with IN nitric acid
followed by three consecutive rinses with
deionized distilled water (a minimum of 1 L
per rinse is recommended). Glass fiber filter
are fragile and should be handled with care.
4.5 pH Meters: The meter should be ac-
curate to ± 0.05 units at 25°C.

4.6 ZHE Extract Collection Devices:
TEDLAR®2 bags or glass, stainless steel or
PTFE gag-tight syringes are used to collect
the initial liquid phase and the final extract
of the waste when using the ZHE device.
The devices listed are recommended for use
under the following conditions:
4.6.1 If a waste contains an aqueous
liquid phase or if a waste does not contain a
significant amount of nonaqueous liquid
(i.e., <1% of total waste), the TEDLAR®
bag or a 600 mL syringe should be used to
collect and combine the initial liquid and
solid extract.
4.6.2 If a waste contains a significant
amount of nonaqueous liquid in the initial
liquid phase (i.e., >1% of total waste), the
V syringe or the TEDLAR® bag may be used
for both the intitial solid/liquid separation
and the final extract filtration. However,
analysts should use one or the other, not
both.
4.6.3 If the waste contains no initial
liquid phase (is 100% solid) or has no signifi-
cant solid phase (is 100% liquid), either the
TEDLAR® bag or the syringe may be used.
If the syringe is used, discard the first 5 mL
of liquid expressed from the device. The re-
maining aliquots are used for analysis.
4.7 ZHE Extraction Fluid Transfer De-
vices: Any device capable of transferring the
extraction fluid into the ZHE without
changing the nature of the extraction fluid
is acceptable (e.g, a positive displacement or
peristaltic pump, a gas tight syringe, pres-
sure filtration unit (see section 4.3.2), or
other ZHE device).
4.8 Laboratory Balance: Any laboratory
balance accurate to within ± 0.01 grams
may be used (all weight measurements are
to be within ±0.1 grams).
4.9 Beaker or Erlenmeyer flask, glass,
500 mL.
4.10 Watchglass, appropriate diameter to
cover beaker or erlenmeyer flask.
4.11 Magnetic stirrer.
5.0 Reagents
5.1 Reagent grade chemicals shall be
used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated,
it is intended that all reagents shall con-
form to the specifications of the Committee
on Analytical Reagents of the American
Chemical Society, where such specifications
are available. Other grades may be used,
provided it is first ascertained that the rea-
gent is of sufficiently high purity to permit
its use without lessening the accuracy of the
determination.
5.2 Reagent water. Reagent water is de-
fined as water in which an interferant is not
observed at or above the methods detection
limit of the analyte(s) of interest. For non-
Dupont.
is a registered trademark of
volatile extractions, ASTM Type II water or
equivalent meets the definition of reagent
water. For volatile extractions, it is recom-
mended that reagent water be generated by
any of the following methods. Reagent
water should be monitored periodically for
impurities.
5.2.1 Reagent water for volatile extrac-
tions may be generated by passing tap water
through a carbon filter bed containing
about 500 grams of activated carbon
(Calgon Corp., Filtrasorb-300 or equivalent).
5.2.2 A water purification system (Milli-
pore Super-Q or equivalent) may also be
used to generate reagent water for volatile
extractions.
5.2.3 Reagent water for volatile extrac-
tions may also be prepared by boiling water
for 15 minutes. Subsequently, while main-
taining the water temperature at 90 + 5 de-
grees C, bubble a contaminant-free inert gas
(e.g., nitrogen) through the water for 1
hour. While still hot, transfer the water to a
narrow mouth screw-cap bottle under zero-
headspace and seal with a Teflon-lined
septum and cap.
5.3 Hydrochloric acid (IN), HC1, made
from ACS reagent grade.
5.4 Nitric acid (IN), HNO>, made from
ACS reagent grade.
5.5 Sodium hydroxide (IN), NaOH, made
from ACS reagent grade.
5.6 Glacial acetic acid, CHjCH2OOH, ACS
reagent grade.
5.7 Extraction fluid.
5.7.1 Extraction fluid #1: Add 5.7 mL gla-
cial CHjCH2OOH to 500 mL of reagent
water (See section 5.2), add 64.3 mL of IN
NaOH, and dilute to a volume of 1 liter.
When correctly prepared, the pH of this
fluid will be 4.93±0.05.
5.7.2 Extraction fluid #2: Dilute 5.7 mL
glacial CHsCHjOOH with reagent water
(See section 5.2) to a volume of 1 liter.
When correctly prepared, the pH of this
fluid will be 2.88±0.05.
NOTE: These extraction fluids should be
monitored frequently for impurities. The
pH should be checked prior to use to ensure
that these fluids are made up accurately. If
impurities are found or the pH is not within
the above specifications, the fluid shall be
discarded and fresh extraction fluid pre-
pared.
5.8 Analytical standards shall be pre-
pared according to the appropriate analyti-
cal method.
6.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, and
Handling
6.1 All samples shall be collected using
an appropriate sampling plan.
6.2 The TCLP may place requirements
on the minimal size of the field sample, de-
pending upon the physical state or states of
68

the waste and the analytes of concern. An
aliquot is needed for preliminary evaluation
of which extraction fluid is to be used for
the nonvolatile analyte extraction proce-
dure. Another aliquot may be needed to ac-
tually conduct the nonvolatile extraction
(see section 1.4 concerning the use of this
extract for volatile organics). If volatile or-
ganics are of concern, another aliquot may
be needed. Quality control measures may re-
quire additional aliquots. Further, it is
always wise to collect more samples just in
case something goes wrong with the initial
attempt to conduct the test.
6.3 Preservatives shall not be added to
samples before extraction.
6.4 Samples may be refrigerated unless
refrigeration results in irreversible physical
change to the waste. If precipitation occurs,
the entire sample (including precipitate)
should be extracted.
6.5 When the waste is to be evaluated for
volatile analytes, care shall be taken to min-
imize the loss of volatiles. Samples shall be
collected and stored in a manner intended
to prevent the loss of volatile analytes (e.g.,
samples should be collected in Teflon-lined
septum capped vials and stored at 4 °C.
Samples should be opened only immediately
prior to extraction).
6.6 TCLP extracts should be prepared
for analysis and analyzed as soon as possible
following extraction. Extracts or portions of
extracts for metallic analyte determinations
must be acidified with nitric acid to a pH
<2, unless precipitation occurs (see section
7.2.14 if precipitation occurs). Extracts
should be preserved for other analytes ac-
cording to the guidance given in the individ-
ual analysis methods. Extracts or portions
of extracts for organic analyte determina-
tions shall not be allowed to come into con-
tact with the atmosphere (i.e., no head-
space) to prevent losses. See section 8.0 (QA
requirements) for acceptable sample and ex-
tract holding times.
7.0 Procedure
7.1 Preliminary Evaluations. Perform
preliminary TCLP evaluations on a mini-
mum 100 gram aliquot of waste. This ali-
quot may not actually undergo TCLP ex-
traction. These preliminary evaluations in-
clude: (1) Determination of the percent
solids (section 7.1.1); (2) determination of
whether the waste contains insignificant
solids and is, therefore, its own extract after
filtration (section 7.1.2); (3) determination
of whether the solid portion of the waste re-
quires particle size reduction (section 7.1.3);
and (4) determination of which of the two
extraction fluids are to be used for the non-
volatile TCLP extraction of the waste (sec-
tion 7.1.4.).
7.1.1 Preliminary determination of per-
cent solids: Percent solids is defined as that
fraction of a waste sample (as a percentage
of the total sample) from which no liquid
may be forced out by an applied pressure, as
described below.
7.1.1.1 If the waste will obviously yield
no liquid when subjected to pressure filtra-
tion (i.e., is 100% solids) proceed to section
7.1.3.
7.1.1.2 If the sample is liquid or multi-
phasic, liquid/solid separation to make a
preliminary determination of percent solids
is required. This involves the filtration
device described in section 4.3.2 and is out-
lined in sections 7.1.1.3 through 7.1.1.9.
7.1.1.3 Pre-weigh the filter and the con-
tainer that will receive the filtrate.
7.1.1.4 Assemble the filter holder and
filter following the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Place the filter on the support screen
and secure.
7.1.1.5 Weigh out a subsample of the
waste (100 gram minimum) and record the
weight.
7.1.1.6 Allow slurries to stand to permit
the solid phase to settle. Wastes that settle
slowly may be centrifuged prior to filtra-
tion. Centrifugation is to be used only as an
aid to filtration. If used, the liquid should
be decanted and filtered followed by filtra-
tion of the solid portion of the waste
through the same filtration system.
7.1.1.7 Quantitatively transfer the waste
sample to the filter holder (liquid and solid
phases). Spread the waste sample evenly
over the surface of the filter. If filtration of
the waste at 4 °C reduces the amount of ex-
pressed liquid over what would be expressed
at room temperature then allow the sample
to warm up to room temperature in the
device before filtering.
NOTE: If waste material (>1% of original
sample weight) has obviously adhered to
the container used to transfer the sample to
the filtration apparatus, determine the
weight of this residue and subtract it from
the sample weight determined in section
7.1.1.5 to determine he weight of the waste
sample that will be filtered.
Gradually apply vacuum or gentle pres-
sure of 1-10 psi, until air or pressurizing gas
moves through the filter. If this point is not
reached under 10 psi, and if no additional
liquid has passed through the filter in any 2
minute interval, slowly increase the pres-
sure in 10 psi increments to a maximum of
50 psi. After each incremental increase of 10
psi, if the pressurizing gas has not moved
through the filter, and if no additional
liquid has passed through the filter in any 2
minute interval, proceed to the next 10 psi
increment. When the pressurizing gas
begins to move through the filter, or when
liquid flow has ceased at 50 psi (i.e., filtra-
tion does not result in any additional fil-
trate within any 2 minute period), stop the
filtration.
69

Pt. 261, App. II
40 CFR Ch. I (7-1-91 Edition)
NOTE: Instantaneous application of high
pressure can degrade the glass fiber filter
and may cause premature plugging.
7.1.1.8 The material in the filter holder is
defined as the solid phase of the waste, and
the filtrate is defined as the liquid phase.
NOTE: Some wastes, such as oily wastes
and some paint wastes, will obviously con-
tain some material that appears to be a
liquid. Even after applying vacuum or pres-
sure filtration, as outlined in section 7.1.1.7,
this material may not filter. If this is the
case, the material within the filtration
device is defined as a solid. Do not replace
the original filter with a fresh filter under
any circumstances. Use only one filter.
7.1.1.9 Determine the weight of the
liquid phase by subtracting the weight of
the filtrate container (see section 7.1.1.3)
from the total weight of the filtrate-filled
container. Determine the weight of the solid
phase of the waste sample by subtracting
the weight of the liquid phase from the
weight of the total waste sample, as deter-
mined in section 7.1.1.5 or 7.1.1.7.
Record the weight of the liquid and solid
phases. Calculate the percent solids as fol-
lows:
Percent solids =
Weight of solid (section 7.1.1.9)
Total weight of waste (section 7.1.1.5 or 7.1.1.7)
xlOO
7.1.2 If the percent solids determined in
section 7.1.1.9 is equal to or greater than
0.5%, then proceed either to section 7.1.3 to
determine whether the solid material re-
quires particle size reduction or to section
7.1.2.1 if it is noticed that a small amount of
the filtrate is entrained in wetting of the
filter. If the percent solids determined in
section 7.1.1.9 is less than 0.5%, then pro-
ceed to section 7.2.9 if the nonvolatile TCLP
is to be performed and to section 7.3 with a
fresh portion of the waste if the volatile
TCLP is to be performed.
7.1.2.1 Remove the solid phase and filter
from the filtration apparatus.
7.1.2.2 Dry the filter and solid phase at
100 ± 20°C until two successive weighings
yield the same value within ± 1%. Record
the final weight.
NOTE: Caution should be taken to ensure
that the subject solid will not flash upon
heating. It is recommended that the drying
oven be vented to a hood or other appropri-
ate device.
7.1.2.3 Calculate the percent dry solids as
follows:
% dry solids
(Weight of dry waste+filter)—tared weight of filter
Initial weight of waste (section 7.1.1.5 or 7.1.1.7)
XlOO
7.1.2.4 If the percent dry solids is less
than 0.5%, then proceed to section 7.2.9 if
the nonvolatile TCLP is to be performed,
and to section 7.3 if the volatile TCLP is to
be performed. If the percent dry solids is
greater than or equal to 0.5%, and if the
nonvolatile TCLP is to be performed, return
to the beginning of this section (7.1) and,
with a fresh portion of waste, determine
whether particle size reduction is necessary
(section 7.1.3) and determine the appropri-
ate extraction fluid (section 7.1.4). If only
the volatile TCLP is to be performed, see
the note in section 7.1.4.
7.1.3 Determination of whether the
waste requires particle size reduction (parti-
cle size is reduced during this step): Using
the solid portion of the waste, evaluate the
solid for particle size. Particle size reduction
is required, unless the solid has a surface
area per gram of material equal to or great-
er than 3.1 cm2, or is smaller than 1 cm in
its narrowest dimension (i.e., is capable of
passing through a 9.5 mm (0.375 inch)
standard sieve). If the surface area is small-
er or the particle size larger than described
above, prepare the solid portion of the
waste for extraction by crushing, cutting, or
grinding the waste to a surface area or par-
ticle size as described above. If the solids are
prepared for organic volatiles extraction,
special precautions must be taken (see sec-
tion 7.3.6).
NOTE: Surface area criteria are meant for
filamentous (e.g., paper, cloth, and similar)
waste materials. Actual measurement of sur-
face area is not required, nor is it recom-
mended. For materials that do not obviously
meet the criteria, sample-specific methods
would need to be developed and employed
to measure the surface area. Such method-
ology is currently not available.

7.1.4 Determination of appropriate ex-
traction fluid: If the solid content of the
waste is greater than or equal to 0.5% and if
the sample will be extracted for nonvolatile
constituents (section 7.2), determine the ap-
propriate fluid (section 5.7) for the nonvola-
tiles extraction as follows:
NOTE: TCLP extraction for volatile con-
stituents uses only extraction fluid #1 (sec-
tion 5.7.1). Therefore, if TCLP extraction
for nonvolatiles is not required, proceed to
section 7.3.
7.1.4.1 Weigh out a small subsample of
the solid phase of the waste, reduce the
solid (if necessary) to a particle size of ap-
proximately 1 mm in diameter or less, and
transfer 5.0 grams of the solid phase of the
waste to a 500 mL beaker or Erlenmeyer
flask.
7.1.4.2 Add 96.5 mL of reagent water to
the beaker, cover with a watchglass, and stir
vigorously for 5 minutes using a magnetic
stirrer. Measure and record the pH. If the
pH is <5.0, use extraction fluid #1. Proceed
to section 7.2.
7.1.4.3 If the pH from section 7.1.4.2 is
>5.0. add 3.5 mL IN NCI, slurry briefly,
cover with a watchglass, heat to 50°C, and
hold at 50°C for 10 minutes.
7.1.4.4 Let the solution cool to room tem-
perature and record the pH. If the pH is
<5.0, use extraction fluid #1. If the pH is
>5.0, use extraction fluid #2. Proceed to sec-
tion 7.2.
7.1.5 If the aliquot of the waste used for
the preliminary evaluation (sections 7.1.1-
7.1.4) was determined to be 100% solid at
section 7.1.1.1, then it can be used for the
section 7.2 extraction (assuming at least 100
grams remain), and the section 7.3 extrac-
tion (assuming at least 25 grams remain). If
the aliquot was subjected to the procedure
in section 7.1.1.7, then another aliquot shall
be used for the volatile extraction proce-
dure in section 7.3. The aliquot of the waste
subjected to the procedure in section 7.1.1.7
might be appropriate for use for the section
7.2 extraction if an adequate amount of
solid (as determined by section 7.1.1.9) was
obtained. The amount of solid necessary is
dependent upon whether a sufficient
amount of extract will be produced to sup-
port the analyses. If an adequate amount of
solid remains, proceed to section 7.2.10 of
the nonvolatile TCLP extraction.
7.2 Procedure When Volatiles are not In-
volved. A minimum sample size of 100 grams
(solid and liquid phases) is recommended. In
some cases, a larger sample size may be ap-
propriate, depending on the solids content
of the waste sample (percent solids, See sec-
tion 7.1.1), whether the initial liquid phase
of the waste will be miscible with the aque-
ous extract of the solid, and whether inor-
ganics, semivolatile organics, pesticides, and
herbicides are all analytes of concern.
Enough solids should be generated for ex-
traction such that the volume of TCLP ex-
tract will be sufficient to support all of the
analyses required. If the amount of extract
generated by a single TCLP extraction will
not be sufficient to perform all of the analy-
ses, more than one extraction may be per-
formed and the extracts from each com-
bined and aliquoted for analysis.
7.2.1 If the waste will obviously yield no
liquid when subjected to pressure filtration
(i.e., is 100% solid, see section 7.1.1), weigh
out a subsample of the waste (100 gram
rniniTtimro and proceed to section 7.2.9.
7.2.2 If the sample is liquid or multipha-
sic, liquid/solid separation is required. This
involves the filtration device described in
section 4.3.2 and is outlined in sections 7.2.3
to 7.2.8.
7.2.3 Pre-weigh the container that will
receive the filtrate.
7.2.4 Assemble the filter holder and filter
following the manufacturer's instructions.
Place the filter on the support screen and
secure. Acid-wash the filter if evaluating the
mobility of metals (see section 4.4).
NOTE: Acid-washed filters may be used for
all nonvolatile extractions even when metals
are not of concern.
7.2.5 Weigh out a subsample of the waste
(100 gram minimum) and record the weight.
If the waste contains <0.5% dry solids (sec-
tion 7.1.2), the liquid portion of the waste,
after filtration, is defined as the TCLP ex-
tract. Therefore, enough of the sample
should be filtered so that the amount of fil-
tered liquid will support all of the analyses
required of the TCLP extract. For wastes
containing >0.5% dry solids (sections 7.1.1
or 7.1.2), use the percent solids information
obtained in section 7.1.1 to determine the
optimum sample size (100 gram minimum^
for filtration. Enough solids should be gen-
erated by filtration to support the analyses
to be performed on the TCLP extract.
7.2.6 Allow slurries to stand to permit
the solid phase to settle. Wastes that settle
slowly may be centrifuged prior to filtra-
tion. Use centrifugation only as an aid to fil-
tration. If the waste is centrifuged, the
liquid should be decanted and filtered fol-
lowed by filtration of the solid portion of
the waste through the same filtration
system.
7.2.7 Quantitatively transfer the waste
sample (liquid and solid phases) to the filter
holder (see section 4.3.2). Spread the waste
sample evenly over the surface of the filter.
If filtration of the waste at 4 °C reduces the
amount of expressed liquid over what would
be expressed at room temperature, then
allow the sample to warm up to room tem-
perature in the device before filtering.
NOTE: If waste material (>1% of the origi-
nal sample weight) has obviously adhered to
71
-------
Pt. 261, App. II
40 CFR Ch. I (7-1-91 Edition)
the container used to transfer the sample to
the filtration apparatus, determine the
weight of this residue and subtract it from
the sample weight determined in section
7.2.5, to determine the weight of the waste
sample that will be filtered.
Gradually apply vacuum or gentle pres-
sure of 1-10 psi, until air or pressurizing gas
moves through the filter. If this point is
reached under 10 psi, and if no additional
liquid has passed through the filter in any 2
minute interval, slowly increase the pres-
sure in 10 psi increments to a maximum of
50 psi. After each incremental increase of 10
psi, if the pressurizing gas has not moved
through the filter, and if no additional
liquid has passed through the filter in any 2
minute interval, proceed to the next 10 psi
increment. When the pressurizing gas
begins to move through the filter, or when
the liquid flow has ceased at 50 psi (i.e., fil-
tration does not result in any additional fil-
trate within a 2 minute period), stop the fil-
tration.
NOTE: Instantaneous application of high
pressure can degrade the glass fiber filter
and may cause premature plugging.
7.2.8 The material in the filter holder is
defined as the solid phase of the waste, and
the filtrate is defined as the liquid phase.
Weigh the filtrate. The liquid phase may
now be either analyzed (See section 7.2.12)
or stored at 4°C until time of analysis.
NOTE: Some wastes, such as oily wastes
and some paint wastes, will obviously con-
tain some material that appears to be a
liquid. Even after applying vacuum or pres-
sure filtration, as outlined in section 7.2.7,
this material may not filter. If this is the
case, the material within the filtration
device is defined as a solid and is carried
through the extraction as a solid. Do not re-
place the original filter with a fresh filter
under any circumstances. Use only one
filter.
7.2.9 If the waste contains <0.5% dry
solids (see section 7.1.2), proceed to section
7.2.13. If the waste contains >0.5% dry
solids (see section 7.1.1 or 7.1.2), and if parti-
cle size reduction of the solid was needed in
section 7.1.3, proceed to section 7.2.10. If the
waste as received passes a 9.5 mm sieve,
quantitatively transfer the solid material
into the extractor bottle along with the
filter used to separate the initial liquid from
the solid phase, and proceed to section
7.2.11.
7.2.10 Prepare the solid portion of the
waste ior extraction by crushing, cutting, or
grinding the waste to a surface area or par-
ticle size as described in section 7.1.3. When
the surface area or particle size has been ap-
propriately altered, quantitatively transfer
the solid material into an extractor bottle.
Include the filter used to separate the ini-
tial liquid from the solid phase.
NOTE: Sieving of the waste is not normally
required. Surface area requirements are
meant for filamentous (e.g., paper, cloth)
and similar waste materials. Actual meas-
urement of surface area is not recommend-
ed. If sieving is necessary, a Teflon-coated
sieve should be used to avoid contamination
of the sample.
7.2.11 Determine the amount of extrac-
tion fluid to add to the extractor vessel as
follows:
Weight of
extraction =
fluid
20 x percent solids (section
7.1.1)xweight of waste
filtered (section 7.2.5 or
7.2.7)
100
Slowly add this amount of appropriate ex-
traction fluid (see section 7.1.4) to the ex-
tractor vessel. Close the extractor bottle
tightly (it is recommended that Teflon tape
be used to ensure a tight seal), secure in
rotary agitation device, and rotate at 30 ± 2
rpm for 18 ± 2 hours. Ambient temperature
(i.e., temperature of room in which extrac-
tion takes place) shall be maintained at 23
± 2°C during the extraction period.
NOTE: As agitation continues, pressure
may build within the extractor bottle for
some types of wastes (e.g., limed or calcium
carbonate containing waste may evolve
gases such as carbon dioxide). To relieve
excess pressure, the extractor bottle may be
periodically opened (e.g., after 15 minutes,
30 minutes, and 1 hour) and vented into a
hood.
7.2.12 Following the 18 ± 2 hour extrac-
tion, separate the material in the extractor
vessel into its component liquid and solid
phases by filtering through a new glass
fiber filter, as outlined in section 7.2.7. For
final filtration of the TCLP extract, the
glass fiber filter may be changed, if neces-
sary, to facilitate filtration. Filterfs) shall
be acid-washed (see section 4.4) if evaluating
the mobility of metals.
7.2.13 Prepare the TCLP extract as fol-
lows:
7.2.13.1 If the waste contained no initial
liquid phase, the filtered liquid material ob-
tained from section 7.2.12 is defined as the
TCLP extract. Proceed to section 7.2.14.
7.2.13.2 If compatible (e.g., multiple
phases will not result on combination), com-
bine the filtered liquid resulting from sec-
tion 7.2.12 with the initial liquid phase of
the waste obtained in section 7.2.7. This
combined liquid is defined as the TCLP ex-
tract. Proceed to section 7.2.14.
7.2.13.3 If the initial liquid phase of the
waste, as obtained from section 7.2.7, is not
or may not be compatible with the filtered
liquid resulting from section 7.2.12, do not
72
-------
Environmental Protection Agency
Pt. 261, App. II
combine these liquids. Analyze these liquids,
collectively defined as the TCLP extract,
and combine the results mathematically, as
described in section 7.2.14.
7.2.14 Following collection of the TCLP
extract, the pH of the extract should be re-
corded. Immediately aliquot and preserve
the extract for analysis. Metals aliquots
must be acidified with nitric acid to pH <2.
If precipitation is observed upon addition of
nitric acid to a small aliquot of the extract,
then the remaining portion of the extract
for metals analyses shall not be acidified
and the extract shall be analyzed as soon as
possible. All other aliquots must be stored
under refrigeration (4 °C) until analyzed.
The TCLP extract shall be prepared and
analyzed according to appropriate analytical
methods. TCLP extracts to be analyzed for
metals shall be acid digested except in those
instances where digestion causes loss of me-
tallic analytes. If an analysis of the undi-
gested extract shows that the concentration
of any regulated metallic analyte exceeds
the regulatory level, then the waste is haz-
ardous and digestion of the extract is not
necessary. However, data on undigested ex-
tracts alone cannot be used to demonstrate
that the waste is not hazardous. If the indi-
vidual phases are to be analyzed separately,
determine the volume of the individual
phases (to ± 0.5%), conduct the appropriate
analyses, and combine the results mathe-
matically by using a simple volume-weight-
ed average:
Final Analyte _
Concentration
V,+V2
where:
Vi=The volume of the first phase (L).
Ci=The concentration of the analyte of
concern in the first phase (mg/L).
Vj=The volume of the second phase (L).
C2=The concentration of the analyte of
concern in the second phase (mg/L).
7.2.15 Compare the analyte concentra-
tions in the TCLP extract with the levels
identified in the appropriate regulations.
Refer to section 8.0 for quality assurance re-
quirements.
7.3 Procedure When Volatiles are In-
volved. Use the ZHE device to obtain TCLP
extract for analysis of volatile compounds
only. Extract resulting from the use of the
ZHE shall not be used to evaluate the mo-
bility of nonvolatile analytes (e.g., metals,
pesticides, etc.).
The ZHE device has approximately a 500
mL internal capacity. The ZHE can thus ac-
commodate a maximum of 25 grams of solid
(defined as that fraction of a sample from
which no additional liquid may be forced
out by an applied pressure of 50 psi), due to
the need to add an amount of extraction
fluid equal to 20 times the weight of the
solid phase.
Charge the ZHE with sample only once
and do not open the device until the final
extract (of the solid) has been collected. Re-
peated filling of the ZHE to obtain 25 grams
of solid is not permitted.
Do not allow the waste, the initial liquid
phase, or the extract to be exposed to the
atmosphere for any more time than is abso-
lutely necessary. Any manipulation of these
materials should be done when cold (4°C) to
minimize loss of volatiles.
7.3.1 Pre-weigh the (evacuated) filtrate
collection container (See section 4.6) and set
aside. If using a TEDLAR* bag, express all
liquid from the ZHE device into the bag,
whether for the initial or final liquid/solid
separation, and take an aliquot from the
liquid in the bag for analysis. The contain-
ers listed in section 4.6 are recommended for
use under the conditions stated in sections
4.6.1-4.6.3.
7.3.2 Place the ZHE piston within the
body of the ZHE (it may be helpful first to
moisten the piston O-rings slightly with ex-
traction fluid). Adjust the piston within the
ZHE body to a height that will minimize the
distance the piston will have to move once
the ZHE is charged with sample (based
upon sample size requirements determined
from section 7.3, section 7.1.1 and/or 7.1.2).
Secure the gas inlet/outlet flange (bottom
flange) onto the ZHE body in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Secure the glass fiber filter between the
support screens and set aside. Set liquid
inlet/outlet flange (top flange) aside.
7.3.3 If the waste is 100% solid (see sec-
tion 7.1.1), weigh out a subsample (25 gram
maximum) of the waste, record weight, and
proceed to section 7.3.5.
7.3.4 If the waste contains <5% dry
solids (section 7.1.2), the liquid portion of
waste, after filtration, is defined as the
TCLP extract. Filter enough of the sample
so that the amount of filtered liquid will
support all of the volatile analyses required.
For wastes containing >5% dry solids (sec-
tions 7.1.1 and/or 7.1.2), use the percent
solids information obtained in section 7.1.1
to determine the optimum sample size to
charge into the ZHE. The recommended
sample size is as follows:
7.3.4.1 For wastes containing <5% solids
(see Section 7.1.1), weigh out a 500 gram
subsample of waste and record the weight.
7.3.4.2 For wastes containing >5% solids
(see Section 7.1.1), determine the amount of
waste to charge into the ZHE as follows:
73

40 CFR Ch. I (7-1-91 Edition)
25
percent solids (section 7.1.1)
xlOO
Weigh out a subsample of the waste of the
appropriate size and record the weight.
7.3.5 If particle size reduction of the solid
portion of the waste was required in section
7.1.3, proceed to section 7.3.6. If particle size
reduction was not required in section 7.1.3,
proceed to section 7.3.7.
7.3.6 Prepare the waste for extraction by
crushing, cutting, or grinding the solid por-
tion of the waste to a surface area or parti-
cle size as described in section 7.1.3.1.
Wastes and appropriate reduction equip-
ment should be refrigerated, if possible, to
4°C prior to particle size reduction- The
means used to effect particle size reduction
must not generate heat in and of itself. If
reduction of the solid phase of the waste is
necessary, exposure of the waste to the at-
mosphere should be avoided to the extent
possible.
NOTE' Sieving of the waste is not recom-
mended due to the possibility that volatiles
may be lost. The use of an appropriately
graduated ruler is recommended as an ac-
ceptable alternative. Surface area require-
ments are meant for filamentous (e.g.,
paper, cloth) and similar waste materials.
Actual measurement of surface area is not
recommended.
When the surface area or particle size has
been appropriately altered, proceed to sec-
tion 7.3.7.
7.3.7 Waste slurries need not be allowed
to stand to permit the solid phase to settle.
Do not centrifuge wastes prior to filtration.
7.3.8 Quantitatively transfer the entire
sample (liquid and solid phases) quickly to
the ZHE. Secure the filter and support
screens onto the top flange of the device
and secure the top flange to the ZHE body
in accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions. Tighten all ZHE fittings and
place the device in the vertical position (gas
inlet/outlet flange on the bottom). Do not
attach the extract collection device to the
top plate.
NOTE: If waste material (>1% of original
sample weight) has obviously adhered to
the container used to transfer the sample to
the ZHE, determine the weight of this resi-
due and subtract it from the sample weight
determined in section 7.3.4 to determine the
weight of the waste sample that will be fil-
tered.
Attach a gas line to the gas inlet/outlet
valve (bottom flange) and, with the liquid
inlet/outlet valve (top flange) open, begin
applying gentle pressure of 1-10 psi (or
more if necessary) to force all headspace
slowly out of the /iHt*: device into a hood. At
the first appearance of liquid from the
liquid inlet/outlet valve, quickly close the
valve and discontinue pressure. If filtration
of the waste at 4 °C reduces the amount of
expressed liquid over what would be ex-
pressed at room temperature, then allow
the sample to warm up to room temperature
in the device before filtering. If the waste is
100% solid (see section 7.1.1), slowly in-
crease the pressure to a maximum of 50 psi
to force most of the headspace out of the
device and proceed to section 7.3.12.
7.3.9 Attach the evacuated pre-weighed
filtrate collection container to the liquid
inlet/outlet valve and open the valve. Begin
applying gentle pressure of 1-10 psi to force
the liquid phase of the sample into the fil-
trate collection container. If no additional
liquid has passed through the filter in any 2
minute interval, slowly increase the pres-
sure in 10 psi increments to a maximum of
50 psi. After each incremental increase of 10
psi, if no additional liquid has passed
through the filter in any 2 minute interval,
proceed to the next 10 psi increment. When
liquid flow has ceased such that continued
pressure filtration at 50 psi does not result
in any additional filtrate within a 2 minute
period, stop the filtration. Close the liquid
inlet/outlet valve, discontinue pressure to
the piston, and disconnect and weigh the fil-
trate collection container.
NOTE Instantaneous application of high
pressure can degrade the glass fiber filter
and may cause premature plugging.
7.3.10 The material in the ZHE is defined
as the solid phase of the waste and the fil-
trate is defined as the liquid phase.
NOTE: Some wastes, such as oily wastes
and some paint wastes, will obviously con-
tain some material that appears to be a
liquid. Even after applying pressure filtra-
tion, this material will not filter. If this is
the case, the material within the filtration
device is defined as a solid and is carried
through the TCLP extraction as a solid.
If the original waste contained <0.5% dry
solids (see section 7.1.2), this filtrate is de-
fined as the TCLP extract and is analyzed
directly. Proceed to section 7.3.15.
7.3.11 The liquid phase may now be
either analyzed immediately (See sections
7.3.13 through 7.3.15) or stored at 4"C under
minimal headspace conditions until time of
analysis.
Determine the weight of extraction fluid
#1 to add to the ZHE as follows:
74

7.3.12 The following sections detail how
to add the appropriate amount of extraction
fluid to the solid material within the ZHE
and agitation of the ZHE vessel. Extraction
fluid #1 is used in all cases (See section 5.7).
7.3.12.1 With the ZHE in the vertical po-
sition, attach a line from the extraction
fluid reservoir to the liquid inlet/outlet
valve. The line used shall contain fresh ex-
traction fluid and should be preflushed with
fluid to eliminate any air pockets in the
line. Release gas pressure on the ZHE
piston (from the gas inlet/outlet valve),
open the liquid inlet/outlet valve, and begin
transferring extraction fluid (by pumping or
similar means) into the ZHE. Continue
pumping extraction fluid into the ZHE until
the appropriate amount of fluid has been
introduced into the device.
7.3.12.2 After the extraction fluid has
been added, immediately close the liquid
inlet/outlet valve and disconnect the extrac-
tion fluid line. Check the ZHE to ensure
that all valves are in their closed positions.
Manually rotate the device in an end-over-
end fashion 2 or 3 times. Reposition the
ZHE in the vertical position with the liquid
inlet/outlet valve on top. Pressurize the
ZHE to 5-10 psi (if necessary) and slowly
open the liquid inlet/outlet valve to bleed
out any headspace (into a hood) that may
have been introduced due to the addition of
extraction fluid. This bleeding shall be done
quickly and shall be stopped at the first ap-
pearance of liquid from the valve. Re-pres-
surize the ZHE with 5-10 psi and check all
ZHE fittings to ensure that they are closed.
7.3.12.3 Place the ZHE in the rotary agi-
tation apparatus (if it is not already there)
and rotate at 30 ± 2 rpm for 18 ± 2 hours.
Ambient temperature (i.e., temperature of
room in which extraction occurs) shall be
maintained at 22 ± 3°C during agitation.
7.3.13 Following the 18 ± 2 hour agita-
tion period, check the pressure behind the
ZHE piston by quickly opening and closing
the gas inlet/outlet valve and noting the
escape of gas. If the pressure has not been
maintained (i.e., no gas release observed),
the device is leaking. Check the ZHE for
leaking as specified in section 4.2.1, and per-
form the extraction again with a new
sample of waste. If the pressure within the
device has been maintained, the material in
the extractor vessel is once again separated
into its component liquid and solid phases.
If the waste contained an initial liquid
phase, the liquid may be filtered directly
into the same filtrate collection container
(i.e., TEDLAR* bag) holding the initial
liquid phase of the waste. A separate filtrate
collection container must be used if combin-
ing would create multiple phases, or there is
not enough volume left within the filtrate
collection container. Filter through the
glass fiber filter, using the ZHE device as
discussed in section 7.3.9. All extract shall
be filtered and collected if the TEDLAR«
bag is used, if the extract is multiphasic, or
if the waste contained an initial liquid phase
(see sections 4.6 and 7.3.1).
NOTE: An in-line glass fiber filter may be
used to filter the material within the ZHE if
it is suspected that the glass fiber filter has
been ruptured.
7.3.14 If the original waste contained no
initial liquid phase, the filtered liquid mate-
rial obtained from section 7.3.13 is defined
as the TCLP extract. If the waste contained
an initial liquid phase, the filtered liquid
material obtained from section 7.3.13 and
the initial liquid phase (section 7.3.9) are
collectively defined as the TCLP extract.
7.3.15 Following collection of the TCLP
extract, immediately prepare the extract for
analysis and store with minimal headspace
at 4°C until analyzed. Analyze the TCLP ex-
tract according to the appropriate analytical
methods. If the individual phases are to be
analyzed separately (i.e., are not miscible),
determine the volume of the individual
phases (to 0.5%), conduct the appropriate
analyses, and combine the results mathe-
matically by using a simple volume-weight-
ed average:
Final Analtye

where:
Vj=The volume of the first phases (L).
Ci=The concentration of the analyte of
concern in the first phase (mg/L).
V2=The volume of the second phase (L).
C2=The concentration of the analyte of
concern in the second phase (mg/L).
7.3.16 Compare the analyte concentra-
tions in the TCLP extract with the levels
identified in the appropriate regulations.
Refer to section 8.0 for quality assurance re-
quirements.

8.0 Quality Assurance
8.1 A minimum of one blank (using the
same extraction fluid as used for the sam-
ples) must be analyzed for every 20 extrac-
tions that have been conducted in an extrac-
tion vessel.
8.2 A matrix spike shall be performed for
each waste type (e.g., wastewater treatment
sludge, contaminated soil, etc.) unless the
result exceeds the regulatory level and the
data is being used solely to demonstrate
that the waste property exceeds the regula-
tory level. A minimum of one matrix spike
must be analyzed for each analytical batch.
The bias determined from the matrix spike
determination shall be used to correct the
measured values. (See sections 8.2.4 and
8.2.5.) As a minimum, follow the matrix
spike addition guidance provided in each an-
alytical method.
8.2.1 Matrix spikes are to be added after
filtration of the TCLP extract and before
preservation. Matrix spikes should not be
added prior to TCLP extraction of the
sample.
8.2.2 In most cases, matrix spikes should
be added at a concentration equivalent to
the corresponding regulatory level. If the
analyte concentration is less than one half
the regulatory level, the spike concentration
may be as low as one half of the analyte
concentration, but may not be not less than
five times the method detection limit. In
order to avoid differences in matrix effects,
the matrix spikes must be added to the
same nominal volume of TCLP extract as
that which was analyzed for the unspiked
sample.
8.2.3 The purpose of the matrix spike is
to monitor the performance of the analyti-
cal methods used, and to determine whether
matrix interferences exist. Use of other in-
ternal calibration methods, modification of
the analytical methods, or use of alternate
analytical methods may be needed to accu-
rately measure the analyte concentration of
the TCLP extract when the recovery of the
matrix spike is below the expected analyti-
cal method performance.

APPENDIX III—CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
TEST METHODS
Tables 1, 2, and 3 specify the appropriate
analytical procedures, described in "Test
Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physi-
cal/Chemical Methods," (incorporated by
reference, see | 260.11) which shall be used
to determine whether a sample contains a
given Appendix VII or VIII toxic constitu-
ent.
Table 1 identifies each Appendix VII or
VIII organic constituent along with the ap-
proved measurement method. Table 2 iden-
tifies the corresponding methods for inor-
ganic species. Table 3 summarizes the con-
tents of SW-846 and supplies specific sec-
tion and method numbers for sampling and
analysis methods.
Prior to final sampling and analysis
method selection the analyst should consult
the specific section or method described in
SW-846 for additional guidance on which of
the approved methods should be employed
for a specific sample analysis situation.

' When Method 9066 is used it must be preceded by the
manual distillation specified in procedure 7.1 of Method
9065. Just prior to distillation in method 9065, adjust the
sulfuric acid-preserved sample to pH 4 with 1+9 NaOH.
After the manual distillation is completed, the autoanalyzer
manifold is simplified by connecting the re-sample line direct-
ly to the sampler.

Dewatered wastewater treatment sludge (EPA Hazardous Waste No. FO19) generated from
the chemical conversion coating of aluminum after April 29, 1986.
Kiln ash, cyclone ash, and calcium chloride salts from incineration of residues (EPA
Hazardous Waste No. F020 and F023) generated from the primary production of 2,4,5-T
and 2,4-D after August 24, 1990. This one-time exclusion applies only to the incineration
of the waste materials described in the petition, and it is conditional upon the data
obtained from ADPC&E's full-scale incineration facility. To ensure that hazardous constitu-
ents are not present in the waste at levels of regulatory concern once the full-scale
treatment facility is in operation, ADPCAE must implement a testing program for the
petitioned waste. This testing program must meet the following conditions for the exclusion
to be valid:
(1) Testing: Sample collection and analyses (including quality control (QC) proce-
dures) must be performed according to SW-846 methodologies.
(A) initial testing: Representative grab samples must be taken from each
drum and kiln ash and cyclone ash generated from each 24 hours of
operation, and the grab samples composited to form one composite
sample of ash for each 24-hour period. Representative grab samples
must also be taken from each drum of calcium chloride salts generated
from each 24 hours of operation and composited to form one composite
sample of calcium chloride salts for each 24-hour period. The initial
testing requirements must be fullfilled for the following wastes: (0
Incineration by-products generated prior to and during the incinerator's
trial burn; (ii) incineration by-products from the treatment of 2,4-D wastes
for one week (or 7 days if incineration is not on consecutive days) after
completion of the trial bum; (iii) incineration by-products from the
treatment of blended 2,4-D and 2,4, 5-T wastes for two weeks (or 14
days if incineration is not on consecutive days) after completion of the
trial bum; and (iv) incineration by-products from tha treatment of blended
2,4-D and 2,4,5-T wastes for one week (or 7 days if incineration is not
on consecutive days) when the percentage of 2, 4, 5-T wastes exceeds
the maximum percentage treated under Condition (1)(A)(iii). Prior to
disposal of the residues from each 24-hour sampling period, the daily
composite must be analyzed for all the constituents listed in Condition
(3). ADPC&E must report the analytical test data, including quality control
information, obtained during this initial period no later than 90 days after
the start of the operation.
(B) Subsequent testing: Representative grab samples of each drum of kiln
and cyclone ash generated from each week of operation must be
composited to form one composite sample of ash for each weekly
period. Representative grab samples of each drum of calcium chloride
salts generated from each week of operation must also be composited
to form one composite sample of calcium chloride salts for each weekly
period.
Prior to disposal of the residues from each weekly sampling period, the
weekly composites must be analyzed for all of the constituents listed in
Condition (3). The analytical data, including quality control information,
must be compiled and maintained on site for a minimum of three years.
These data must be furnished upon request and made available for
inspection by any employee or representative of EPA.
(2) Waste holding: The incineration residues that are generated must be stored as
hazardous until the initial verification analyses or subsequent analyses are
completed.
If the composite incineration residue samples (from either Condition (1)(A) or
Condition (1)(B)) do not exceed any of the delisting levels set in Condition (3), the
incineration residues corresponding to these samples may be managed and
disposed of in accordance with all applicable solid waste regulations.

(5) RGB must generate, prior to disposal of residues, verification data from each
eight hour run for each treatment residue (i.e.. kiln ash, cyclone ash, separator
sludge, and filtered wastewater) to demonstrate that the residues do not contain
tetra-, penta-, or hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins or furans at levels of regulatory
concern. Samples must be collected as specified in conditions (2) and (3). The
TCDD equivalent levels for solids must be less than 5 ppt and for wastewater the
levels must be below 0.002 ppt Any residues with detected dioxins or furans in
excess of these levels must be retreated or must be disposed as acutely
hazardous. Method 8290, a high resolution gas chromatography and high resolu-
tion mass spectroscopy (HRGC/HRMS) analytical method, must be used. For
tetra- and penta-chlorinated dioxin and furan homologs, the maximum practical
quantitation limit must not exceed 15 ppt for solids and 120 ppq for wastewaters.
For hexachlorinated dioxin and furan homologs, the maximum practical quantita-
tion limit must not exceed 37 ppt for solids and 0.3 ppt for wastewaters;
(6) The test data from conditions (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) must be kept on file by
RGB for inspection purposes and must be compiled, summarized, and submitted
to the Assistant Administrator for Solid Waste and Emergency Response by

the copper, nickel, and chromium electroplating of plastic parts after November 17, 1986.
Dewatered wastewater treatment sludges (EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. F006) generated
from electroplating operations after November 17, 1986. To ensure chromium levels do
not exceed the regulatory standards there must be continuous batch testing of the fitter
press sludge for chromium for 45 days after the exclusion is granted. Each batch of
treatment residue must be representatively sampled and tested using the EP toxkaty test
for chromium. This data must be kept on file at the facility for inspection purposes. If the
exfract levels exceed 0.922 ppm of chromium the waste must be managed and disposed
of as hazardous. If these conditions are not met the exclusion does not apply. This
exclusion does not apply to sludges in any on-site impoundments as of the date.

treatment facility because Bethlehem's original data were obtained from a laboratory-scale
CSEAFD treatment process. To ensure that hazardous constituents are not present in the
waste at levels of regulatory concern once the full-scale treatment facility is in operation,
Bethlehem must implement a testing program for the petitioned waste. This testing
program must meet the following conditions for the exclusion to be valid:
(1) Testing:
(A) Initial Testing: During the first four weeks of operation of the full-scale treatment system,
Bethlehem must collect representative grab samples of each treated batch of the CSEAFD
and composite the grab samples daily. The daily composites, prior to disposal, must be
analyzed for the EP leachate concentrations of all the EP toxic metals, nickel and cyanide
(using distilled water in the cyanide extractions), and the total constituent concentrations
of reactive sulfide and reactive cyanide. Analyses must be performed according to SW-
846 methodologies. Bethlehem must report the analytical test data obtained during this
initial period no later than 90 days after the treatment of the first full-scale batch.
(B) Subsequent Testing: Bethlehem must collect representative grab samples from every
treated batch of CSEAFD generated daily and composite all of the grab samples to
produce a weekly composite sample. Bethlehem then must analyze each weekly compos-
ite sample for the EP leachate concentrations of all the EP toxic metals and nickel.
Analyses must be performed according to SW-846 methodologies. The analytical data,
including all quality control information, must be compiled and maintained on site for a
minimum of three years. These data must be fumised upon request and made available
for inspection by any employee or representative of EPA or the State of Pennsylvania.
(2) De/isting Levels: If the EP extract concentrations resulting from the testing in condition
(1)(A) or (1)(B) for chromium, lead, arsenic, or silver exceed 0.315 mg/L, for barium
exceeds 6.3 mg/l; for cadmium or selenium exceed 0.063 mg/l; for mercury exceeds
0.0126 mg/l; for nickel exceeds 3.15 mg/l; or for cyanide exceeds 4.42 mg/L, or total
reactive cyanide or total reactive sulfide levels exceed 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg,
respectively, the waste must either be re-treated or managed and disposed in accordance
with subtitle C of RCRA.
(3) Data submittalx Within one week of system start-up, Bethlehem must notify the Section
Chief, Variances Section (see address below) when their full-scale stabilization system is
on-line and waste treatment has begun. All data obtained through the initial testing
condition (1)(A), must be submitted to the Section Chief, Variances Section, PSPD/OSW.

Fully-cured chemically stabilized electric arc furnace dust/sludge (CSEAFD) Uealmefit
residue (EPA Hazardous Waste No, K061) generated from the primary production of steel
upon the data obtained from USX7s full-scale CSEAFD treatment facffity. To ensure that
hazardous constituents are not present in the waste at levels of regulatory concern once
the full-scale treatment facility is in operation, USX must implement a testing program for
the petitioned waste. This testing program must meet the following conditions for the
exclusion to be valid:
(1) Testing: Sample collection and analyses (including quality control (QQ procedures) must
be performed according to SW-846 methodologies.
(A) Initial Tasting: During the first four weeks of operation of the full-scale treatment system,
USX must collect representative grab samples of each treated batch of the CSEAFD and
composite the grab samples daily. The daily composites, prior to disposal, must be
analyzed for the EP teachate concentrations of all the EP toxic metals, racket, and cyanide
(using distilled water in the cyanide extractions), and the total concentrations of reactive
surfide and reactive cyanide. USX must report the anarytjcal test data, inducing quality
control information, obtained during this initial period no later than 90 days after the
treatment of the first full-scale batch.
(B) Subsequent Testing: USX must collect representative grab samples from every treated
batch of CSEAFD generated daily and composite all of the grab samples to produce a
weekly composite sample. USX then must analyze each weekly composite sample for afl
of the EP toxic metals, and nickel. The analytical data, including quality control informa-
tion, must be compiled and maintained on site for a minimum of three years. These data
must be furnished upon request and made available for inspection by any employee or
representative of EPA or the State of Illinois.
(2) De/isting levels: If the EP extract concentrations for chromium, lead, arsenic, or silver
exceed 0.315 mg/l; for barium exceeds 6.3 mg/l; for cadmium or selenium exceed 0.063
mg/l; for mercury exceeds 0.0126 mg/l; for nickel exceeds 3.15 mg/l; or for cyarade
exceeds 4.42 mg/l, total reactive cyanide or total reactive sutfide levels exceed 250 mg/
kg and 500 mg/Kg, respectively, the waste must either be re-treated until it meets these
levels or managed and disposed of in accordance with Subtitle C of RCRA.

1.1 This method measures the concentra-
tion of chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and
chlorinated dibenzofurans in chemical
wastes including still bottoms, filter aids,
sludges, spent carbon, and reactor residues,
and in soils.
1.2 The sensitivity of this method is de-
pendent upon the level of interferences.
1.3 This method is recommended for use
only by analysts experienced with residue
analysis and skilled in mass spectral analyti-
cal techniques.
1.4 Because of the extreme toxicity of
these compounds, the analyst must take
necessary precautions to prevent exposure
to himself, or to others, of materials known
or believed to contain CDDs or CDPs.
2. Summary of the Method
2.1 This method is an analytical extrac-
tion cleanup procedure, and capillary
column gas chromatograph-low resolution
mass spectrometry method, using capillary
column GC/MS conditions and internal
standard techniques, which allow for the
measurement of PCDDs and PCDPs in the
extract.
2.2 If interferences are encountered, the
method provides selected general purpose
cleanup procedures to aid the analyst in
their elimination.
3. Interferences
3.1 Solvents, reagents, glassware, and
other sample processing hardware may yield
discrete artifacts and/or elevated baselines
causing misinterpretation of gas chromato-
grams. All of these materials must be dem-
onstrated to be free from interferences
under the conditions of the analysis by run-
ning method blanks. Specific selection of
reagents and purification of solvents by dis-
tillation in all-glass systems may be re-
quired.
3.2 Interferences co-extracted from the
samples will vary considerably from source
to source, depending upon the diversity of
the industry being sampled. PCDD is often
associated with other interfering chlorinat-
ed compounds such as PCB's which may be
sons specializing in safe laboratory prac-
tices. Typical infectious waste incinerators
are probably not satisfactory devices for dis-
posal of materials highly contaminated with
CDDs or CDFs. Safety instructions are out-
lined in EPA Test Method 613(4.0)

tential contamination in the laboratory fol-

ated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans"

tude higher than that of PCDD. While gen-

electron capture and GC/MS detection. For further details
see 44 FR 69526 (December 3. 1979).
3.3 The other isomers of tetrachlorodi-
benzo-p-dioxin may interfere with the meas-
urement of 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Capillary column
gas chromatography is required to resolve
those isomers that yield virtually identical
mass fragmentation patterns.
4. Apparatus and Materials
4.1. Sampling equipment for discrete or
composite sampling.
4.1.1 Grab sample bottle—amber glass, 1-
liter or 1-quart volume. French or Boston
Round design is recommended. The contain-
er must be washed and solvent rinsed before
use to minimize interferences.
4.1.2. Bottle caps—threaded to screw on
to the sample bottles. Caps must be lined
with Teflon. Solvent washed foil, used with
the shiny side towards the sample, may be
substituted for the Teflon if sample is not
corrosive.
4.1.3. Compositing equipment—automatic
or manual composing system. No tygon or
rubber tubing may be used, and the system
must incorporate glass sample containers
for the collection of a minimum of 250 ml.
Sample containers must be kept refrigerat-
ed after sampling.
4.2 Water bath—heated, with concentric
ring cover, capable of temperature control
(±2 °C). The bath should be used in a hood.
4.3 Gas chromatograph/mass spectrome-
ter data system.
4.3.1 Gas chromatograph: An analytical
system with a temperature-programmable
gas chromatograph and all required accesso-
ries including syringes, analytical columns,
and gases.
4.3.2 Column: SP-2250 coated on a 30 m
long x 0.25 mm I.D. glass column (Supelco
No. 2-3714 or equivalent). Glass capillary
column conditions: Helium carrier gas at 30
cm/sec linear velocity run splitless. Column
temperature is 210 °C.

lined materials are recommended. Glass can
be deactivated by silanizing with dichlorodi-
methylsilane. The interface must be capable
of transporting at least 10 ng of the compo-
nents of interest from the GC to the MS.
4.3.5 Data system: A computer system
must be interfaced to the mass spectrome-
ter. The system must allow the continuous
acquisition and storage on machine-readable
media of all mass spectra obtained through-
out the duration of the chromatographic
program. The computer must have software
that can search any GC/MS data file for
ions of a specific mass and that can plot
such ion abundances versus time or scan
number. This type of plot is defined as an
Extracted Ion Current Profile (EICP). Soft-
ware must also be able to integrate the
abundance, in any EICP, between specified
time or scan number limits.

6.0 Calibration
6.1 Before using any cleanup procedure,
the analyst must process a series of calibra-
tion standards through the proced'are tc
validate elution patterns and the absence of
interferences from reagents.
6.2 Prepare GC/MS calibration stand-
ards for the internal standard technique
that will allow for measurement of relative
response factors of at least three CDD/
31CDD ratios. Thus, for TCDDs, at least
three TCDD/37C1-TCDD and TCDF/!"C1-
TCDF must be determined.5 The "Cl-
TCDD/F concentration in the standard
should be fixed and selected to yield a re-
producible response at the most sensitive
setting of the mass spectrometer. Response
factors for PCDD and HxCDD may be de-
termined by measuring the response of the
tetrachloro-labelled compounds relative to
that of the unlabelled 1,2,3,4- or 2,3,7,8-
TCDD, 1,2,3,4,7-PCDD or 1,2,3,4,7,8-
HxCDD, which are commercially available.6
B 31Cl-labelled 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-
TCDF are available from K.O.R. Isotopes,
and Cambridge Isotopes, Inc., Cambridge,
MA. Proper standardization requires the use
of a specific labelled isomer for each conge-
ner to be determined. However, the only la-
belled isomers readily available are "Cl-
2,3,7,8-TCDD and "Cl-2,3,7,8-TCDF. This
method therefore uses these isomers as sur-
rogates for the CDDs and CDFs. When
other labelled CDDs and CDFs are avail-
able, their use will be required.
6 This procedure is adopted because stand-
ards are not available for most of the CDDs
and CDFs, and assumes that all the con-
geners will show the same response as the
unlabelled congener used as a standard. Al-
though this assumption may not be true in
all cases, the error will be small.

6.3 Assemble the necessary GC/MS ap-
paratus and establish operating parameters
equivalent to those indicated in Section 11.1
of this method. Calibrate the GC/MS
system according to Eichelberger, et al.
(1975) by the use of decafluorotriphenyl
phosphine (DFTPP). By injecting calibra-
tion standards, establish the response fac-
tors for CDDs vs. S1C1-TCDD, and for CDPs
vs. "Cl-TCDF. The detection limit provided
in Table 1 should be verified by injecting
.015 ng of 33C1-TCDD which should give a
minimum signal to noise ratio of 5 to 1 at
mass 328.
7. Quality Control
7.1 Before processing any samples, the
analyst should demonstrate through the
analysis of a distilled water method blank,
that all glassware and reagents are interfer-
ence-free. Each time a set of samples is ex-
tracted, or there is a change in reagents, a
method blank should be processed as a safe-
guard against laboratory contamination.
7.2 Standard quality assurance practices
must be used with this method. Field repli-
cates must be collected to measure the pre-
cision of the sampling technique. Laborato-
ry replicates must be analyzed to establish
the precision of the analysis. Fortified sam-
ples must be analyzed to establish the accu-
racy of the analysis.
8. Sample Collection, Preservation, and
Handling
8.1 Grab and composite samples must be
collected in glass containers. Conventional
sampling practices should be followed,
except that the bottle must not be
prewashed with sample before collection.
Composite samples should be collected in
glass containers in accordance with the re-
quirements of the RCRA program. Sam-
pling equipment must be free of tygon and
other potential sources of contamination.
8.2 The samples must be iced or refriger-
ated from the time of collection until ex-
traction. Chemical preservatives should not
be used in the field unless more than 24
hours will elapse before delivery to the labo-
ratory. If an aqueous sample is taken and
the sample will not be extracted within 48
hours of collection, the sample should be
adjusted to a pH range of 6.0-8.0 with
sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid.
8.3 All samples must be extracted within
7 days and completely analyzed within 30
days of collection.
9. Extraction and Cleanup Procedures
9.1 Use an aliquot of 1-10 g sample of the
chemical waste or soil to be analyzed. Soils
should be dried using a stream of prepuri-
fied nitrogen and pulverized in a ball-mill or
similar device. Perform this operation in a
clear area with proper hood space. Transfer
the sample to a tared 125 ml flint glass
bottle (Teflon-lined screw cap) and deter-
mine the weight of the sample. Add an ap-
propriate quantity of 31Cl-labelled 2,3,7.8-
TCDD (adjust the quantity according to the
required minimum detectable concentra-
tion), which is employed as an internal
standard.
9.2 Extraction
9.2.1 Extract chemical waste samples by
adding 10 ml methanol, 40 ml petroleum
ether, 50 ml doubly distilled water, and then
shaking the mixture for 2 minutes. Tars
should be completely dissolved in any of the
recommended neat solvents. Activated
carbon samples must be extracted with ben-
zene using method 3540 in SW-846 (Test
Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste—Physi-
cal/Chemical Methods, available from
G.P.O. Stock #055-022-81001-2). Quantita-
tively transfer the organic extract or dis-
solved sample to a clean 250 ml flint glass
bottle (Teflon lined screw cap), add 50 ml
doubly distilled water and shake for 2 min-
utes. Discard the aqueous layer and proceed
with Step 9.3.
9.2.2 Extract soil samples by adding 40
ml of petroleum ether to the sample, and
then shaking for 20 minutes. Quantitatively
transfer the organic extract to a clean 250
ml flint glass bottle (Teflon-lined screw
cap), add 50 ml doubly distilled water and
shake for 2 minutes. Discard the aqueous
layer and proceed with Step 9.3.
9.3 Wash the organic layer with 50 ml of
20% aqueous potassium hydroxide by shak-
ing for 10 minutes and then remove and dis-
card the aqueous layer.
9.4 Wash the organic layer with 50 ml of
doubly distilled water by shaking for 2 min-
utes, and discard the aqueous layer.
9.5 Cautiously adu 50 ml concentrated
sulfuric acid and shake for 10 minutes.
Allow the mixture to stand until layers sep-
arate (approximately 10 minutes), and
remove and discard the acid layer. Repeat
acid washing until no color is visible in the
acid layer.
9.6 Add 50 ml of doubly distilled water to
the organic extract and shake for 2 minutes.
Remove and discard the aqueous layer and
dry the organic layer by adding lOg of anhy-
drous sodium sulf ate.
9.7 Concentrate the extract to incipient
dryness by heating in a 55° C water bath
and simultaneously flowing a stream of pre-
purified nitrogen over the extract. Quanti-
tatively transfer the residue to an alumina
microcolumn fabricated as follows:
9.7.1 Cut off the top section of a 10 ml
disposable Pyrex pipette at the 4.0 ml mark
and insert a plug of silanized glass wool into
the tip of the lower portion of the pipette.
9.7.2 Add 2.8g of Woelm basic alumina
(previously activated at 600° C overnight
and then cooled to room temperature in a
desiccator just prior to use).
9.7.3 Transfer sample extract with a
small volume of methylene chloride.

Environmental Protection Agency
Pt. 261, App. X
9.8 Elute the mlcrocolumn with 10 ml of
3% methylene chloride-in-hexane followed
by 15 ml of 20% methylene chloride-in-
hexane and discard these effluents. Elute
the column with 15 ml of 50% methylene
chloride-in-hexane and concentrate this ef-
fluent (55° C water bath, stream of prepuri-
fied nitrogen) to about 0.3-0.5 ml.
0.9 Quantitatively transfer the residue
(using methylene chloride to rinse the con-
tainer) to a silanized Reacti-Vial (Pierce
Chemical Co.). Evaporate, using a stream of
prepurified nitrogen, almost to dryness,
rinse the walls of the vessel with approxi-
mately 0.5 ml methylene chloride, evaporate
just to dryness, and tightly cap the vial.
Store the vial at 5° C until analysis, at
which time the sample is reconstituted by
the addition of tridecane.
9.10 Approximately 1 hour before GC-
MS (HRGC-LRMS) analysis, dilute the resi-
due in the micro-reaction vessel with an ap-
propriate quantity of tridecane. Gently
swirl the tridecane on the lower portion of
the vessel to ensure dissolution of the CDDs
and CDPs. Analyze a sample by GC/EC to
provide insight into the complexity of the
problem, and to determine the manner in
which the mass spectrometer should be
used. Inject an appropriate aliquot of the
sample into the GC-MS instrument, using a
syringe.
9.11 If, upon preliminary GC-MS analy-
sis, the sample appears to contain interfer-
ing substances which obscure the analyses
for CDDs and CDFs, high performance
liquid chromatographic (HPLC) cleanup of
the extract is accomplished, prior to further
GC-MS analysis.
10. HPLC Cleanup Procedure7
10.1 Place approximately 2 ml of hexane
in a 50 ml flint glass sample bottle fitted
with a Teflon-lined cap.
10.2 At the appropriate retention time,
position sample bottle to collect the re-
quired fraction.
10.3 Add 2 ml of 5% (w/v) sodium car-
bonate to the sample fraction collected and
shake for one minute.
10.4 Quantitatively remove the hexane
layer (top layer) and transfer to a micro-re-
action vessel.
10.5 Concentrate the fraction to dryness
and retain for further analysis.
11. GC/MS Analysis
11.1 The following column conditions are
recommended: Glass capillary column condi-
tions: SP-2250 coated on a 30 m long x 0.25
mm I.D. glass column (Supelco No. 2-3714,
or equivalent) with helium carrier gas at 30
cm/sec linear velocity, run splitless. Column
temperature is 210°C. Under these condi-
tions the retention time for TCDDs is about
9.5 minutes. Calibrate the system daily
with, a minimum, three injections of stand-
ard mixtures.
11.2 Calculate response factors for stand-
ards relative to 3K;i-TCDD/P (see Section
12).
11.3 Analyze samples with selected ion
monitoring of at least two ions from Table
3. Proof of the presence of CDD or CDF
exists if the following conditions are met:
11.3.1 The retention time of the peak in
the sample must match that in the stand-
ard, within the performance specifications
of the analytical system.
11.3.2 The ratio of ions must agree
within 10% with that of the standard.
11.3.3 The retention time of the peak
maximum for the ions of interest must ex-
actly match that of the peak.

1 Molecular ion peak.
* CU—labelled standard peaks.
8 Ions which can be monitored in TCOD analyses for confirmation purposes.
11.4 Quantitate the CDD and CDF peaks
from the response relative to the 37C1-
TCDD/P internal standards. Recovery of
the internal standard should be greater
than 50 percent.
11.5 If a response is obtained for the ap-
propriate set of ions, but is outside the ex-
pected ratio, a co-eluting impurity may be
suspected. In this case, another set of ions
characteristic of the CDD/CDP molecules
should be analyzed. For TCDD a good
choice of ions is m/e 257 and m/e 259. For
TCDF a good choice of ions is m/e 241 and
243. These ions are useful in characterizing
the molecular structure to TCDD or TCDF.
For analysis of TCDD good analytical tech-
nique would require using all four ions, m/e
257, 320, 322, and 328, to verify detection
and signal to noise ratio of 5 to 1. Suspected
impurities such as DDE, ODD, or PCS resi-
dues can be confirmed by checking for their
major fragments. These materials can be re-
moved by the cleanup columns. Failure to
meet criteria should be explained in the
report, or the sample reanalyzed.
11.6 If broad background interference re-
stricts the sensitivity of the GC/MS analy-
sis, the analyst should employ cleanup pro-
cedures and reanalyze by GC/MS. See sec-
tion 10.0.
11.7 In those circumstances where these
procedures do not yield a definitive conclu-
sion, the use of high resolution mass spec-
trometry is suggested.
12. Calculations
12.1 Determine the concentration of indi-
vidual compounds according to the formula:
Concentration, >tg/gm=
AxA.
GxAtoxR,
where:
A=u.g of internal standard added to the
sample •
G=gm of sample extracted
A,=area of characteristic ion of the com-
pound being quantified.
A!,=area of characteristic ion of the inter-
nal standard
R,=response factor e
Response factors are calculated using data
obtained from the analysis of standards ac-
cording to the formula:
Rf
AuxC.
where:
Cta=concentration of the internal standard
Cc=concentration of the standard com-
pound
12.2 Report results in micrograms per
gram without correction for recovery data.
When duplicate and spiked samples are ana-
lyzed, all data obtained should be reported.
12.3 Accuracy and Precision. No data are
available at this time.
[50 FR 2001, Jan. 14, 1985]
'The proper amount of standard to be
used is determined from the calibration
curve (See Section 6.0).
9 If standards for PCDDs/Fs and
HxCDDs/Fs are not available, response fac-
tors for ions derived from these congeners
are calculated relative to S1C1-TCDD/F. The
analyst may use response factors for 1,2,3,4-
or 2.3.7.8-TCDD. 1.2,3,4,7-PeCDD, or
1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDD for quantitation of
TCDDs/Fs, PeCDDs/Fs and HxCDDs/Fs,
respectively. Implicit in this requirement is
the assumption that the same response is
obtained from PCDDs/Fs ccontaining the
same numbers of chlorine atoms.
