Delisting of Spent Pickle Liquor Generated from the Porcelain

Spent pickle liquor (as well as any sludge generated from the treatment of
the spent pickle liquor) that is generated from the porcelain enamel industry
is listed as EPA Hazardous Waste No. K062. An industry-wide rulemaking peti-
tion must be submitted in order to change the regulatory status of the waste.
An industry-wide petition does not apply to plants that are integrated with
electroplating operations and generating wastes -covered by the F006-F009
listing.
EPA lists the specific inorganic and organic waste constituents that
should be analyzed as representative samples from porcelain enamel facilities
to support an industrywide exclusion petition.

the petition would not be addressing porcelain enamel planes
chat are integrated wch electroplating operacions.) These
figures were determined using an approximate sampling rule
developed by OSHA. This type of sanpling approach his been
successfully used in che past by che Institute for Scrap
Iron and Steel in a similar study for EPA. The actual number
ot samples whi.cn should be analyzed cannot be identified as
precisely. However a sufficient number of samples should
be taken trom each facility which would represent the" variable
nature of che waste. In this regard, composited samples
representing any variability in raw materials or process . - •
