information and do notreopen the issae
for judicial review.) Where BDAT ia a
detraction or removal technology, a
total waste analysis is required because
it ia most appropriate for measuring
such destruction or removat, The
legislative history indicates a strong
preference for treatment that destroys
hazardous constituents (see, a£. 130
Cong. Reft, S917B, daily ed. July 23, 1984,
statement of Senator Chafee), and the
only tellable way to verify that
destruction has occurred is to measure
the total waste. Similarly, when BOAT
is identified as an immobilization
technology soch as stabilization,
analysis of a TCLP waste extract is
required because it is the most
appropriate measuta of immobilization.
In cases where both technologies are
identified as EPAT. both types of waste
analysis are required.
In oader to determine'whether dm
wastroeets the applicable treatment
standods as generated, the original
generator should perform an analysis of
the waste. The waste extract is
analysed If the applicable treatment
standards appear in 40 CFR 28&4J, and
a total waste analysis is perforated if the
applicable treatment standards appear
in 9 268*43. The generator may also
make thia determination &ued on
knowledge of the waste, provided there
is a reasonable basis Cor doing so (for
exanqile. the generator uses so little of a
key constituent that it amid not be
found in the waate at levels exceeding a
treatment standard). All supporting data
used to make the determination must be
retained on-aita in the generator's files.

upheld EPA's existing technology-based
approach to establishing treatment
standards as a reasonable construction
of the statute, but remanded the case to
the Agency in order for the Agency to
explain properly why it had chosen this
approach. EPA's explanation was
published hi the Federal Register on
February 28,1990, and was accepted by
the Court which dismissed all petitions
for review on March 15,1990 The
standards EPA is adopting in this rule
are also technology-based which the
Agency believes is warranted at this
time due to the uncertainties associated
with hazardous waste land disposal and
the Agency's present inability to
quantify precisely da minimis levels of
hazardous constituents that would
determine when threats to human health
and the environment from disposal of
prohibited wastes are minimized 55 FR

discussion; however, comments were
received pertaining to various issues
discussed below. These comments, and
the Agency's responses, are found in the
Response to BDAT-Related Comments
Document Volume l, in the RCRA
Docket
a. The BOAT Methodology
The first step in the development of
treatment standarda is to divide the
wastes to be regulated into groups
based on similar physical and chemical
properties. These waste treatability
groups take into account differences in
the applicability and effectiveness of
treatment for those particular wastes.
The Agency initially decides how
wastes should be grouped by examining
whether the wastes are generated by
similar industries or from similar
processes. This is a valid starting point
because the waste characteristics that
affect treatment performance are
expected to be similar for these wastes
even though the wastes themselves are
somewhat different
The next step in the development of
treatment standards is to identify the
Best Demonstrated Available
Technology (BDAT) for eaahtreatability
group. A treatment technologg is
considered to be "demonstrated''
primarily based on data ftltelhO-scala
treatment operations thatare currently
being used to treat the waste (or a
similar waste). Once the -
"demonstrated" technologies have been
identified, the Agency determines
whether these technologies may be
considered "available". To be
"available", the technology itself or the
services of the technology must be able
to be purchased, and the technology
must substantially diminish the toxicity
of the waste or reduce the likelihood of
migration of the wasta!s hazardous-
constituents. EPA prefers to base BDAT
on that the
«>atiitn«y anal* nfmmtm
and recycling. EPA may select this type
of technology as HDAT over more
conventional treatment if the disparity
fat performance at the technologies is not
too pronounced, and the technology
mininim threats to i»»wmii
health anii the environment by
substantially waste toxicity
and reducing mobility of Undo
constituents.
Treatent data from "demonstrated"
"available" technologies are then
screened with regard to the design and
operation of the equipment the quality
assurance/quality control (QA/QC)
analyses of the performance and
operating data, and the accuracy and
precision of the analytical tests used to
assess treatment performance. After this
screening, the treatment data are
adjusted for each constituent based on
the analytical recovery of that
constituent from the treatment residuals.
The Agency has chosen to perform tide
adjustment in order to account (in part)
for analytical interferences associated
with the chemical makeup of the
treatment residual. Where data for more
than one treatment technology exist the
individual performance data for each of
the various treatment technologies are
thai statistically evaluated. The mean
concentrations of the constituents in the
treatment residuals from each
technology are then compared using an
analysis of variance (ANOVA) test In
order to determine if one technology
performed significantly better than the
other. (A detailed discussion of the
methodology for identification of BDAT
and the ANOVA test is provided in the
November 7,1988 final rule (SI FR
40572}.) Where data exist for only ona
technology, the Agency uses best
engineaing judgment to assess whether
that technology represents the best
applicable technology for that particular
waste and whether the data indicate
that the treatment system waa well-
designed and well-operated.
After BDAT ia Identified. EPA
develops the treatment standard for
certain constituents in the waste.
Treatment standards are expressed as
maximum constituent-specific
concentrations allowed in the waste (or
in an extract of die treated waste), as a
specific technology (or group of
technologies), or as a combination of
these. Although the statute provides
discretion to establish treatment
standards as either levels or methods of
treatment EPA """""ny attempts to set
concentration-based treatment
standards whenever-possible, because
they provide the regulated community
with flexibility in treatment
Mill all nfl«yw Hif
investigation and development of new
and alternative technologies. In
addition, establishing concentration-
based standards provides a means of
ensuring that treatment technologies are
operated at conditions that will result in
the best demonstrated performance.
b. Use of Technologies Identified As
BDAT
Compliance with a concentration*
based treatment standard requires only
that the treatment level be achieved:
once achieved, the waste may be land
disposed. The waste need not be treated
by the BDAT technology; in fact a
concentration-based treatment standard
provides maximum flexibility in one's
choice of treatment technology because
any treatment recycling or
any combination of treatment
technologies, unless prohibited (e.g*
impermissible dilution) or unless defined
as land disposal (e.g« land treatment),
can be used to achieve these standards.
Some treatment standards in today's
rule, however, are expressed as a*
treatment method rather than as at
concentration-based standard. EPA
typically establishes a treatment method
as the standard when it has no means of
calculating valid concentration-based
standards. In such cases, the specified
technology must be used to treat that
particular waste (including any mixture
that contains die waste). After the waste
is treated using the specified method, it
may be land disposed, unless EPA has
specified otherwise in the rule, or if the
residue exhibits a hazardous waste
characteristic and does not meet the
treatment standard for that
characteristic. In situations where
wastes subject to concentration-based
standards are mixed with wastes
subject to treatment standards
expressed as a method, the mixture
must be treated by the specified method
and must also meet the concentration-
based treatment standards for any other
prohibited waste contained in the
matrix (see generally 53 FR 31146-7,
August 17,1988).
When EPA requires the use of a
technology (or technologies), a generator
or treater may demonstrate that an
alternative treatment method can
achieve die equivalent level of
performance as that of the specified
treatment method (40 CFR 268.42(b)).
This demonstration ia typically both
waste-specific and site-specific and may
be based on: (1) The development of a
concentration-based standard that
utilizes a surrogate or indicator
compound that guarantees effective

In todayVrula, the treatment

or to nonwaatewatere (see 40 C7R
2S&2). Wastewaters an defined as
those wastes (listed wastes. Inrtnding

It la not permissible to dilate or partially
treat a prohibited listed wasta in ordec
to switch the applicability of a
nonwastewater standard to a
wastewater standard, or vipa versa (see •
52 FR 21012 (June 4,1987); but sea 52 FR

designed to separata wastewater* from
nonwastewaters. Such technologies may
or may not be considered partial
treatment under this principle, as
discussed in the fallowing paragraphs.
Dewatering technologies each as
filtration and cantrifugation an typically
designed to remove suspended solids
(TSS) from aqueous wastes. When I
technologies an applied to a
nonwastewater that nontalim greater
than 1% TSS but less than IX TOC, the
resultant liquid residue will probably
meet the definition of a wastewater (Le,
it will probably contain lesa than IX
TSS and less than IX TOC). The Agency
does not consider this impermissible
switching of applicable treatment
standards. (Note: For the purposes of
applying BOAT treatment standards, the
Agency does not consider carbon
adsorption a dewatering technology
even though it may act as a Site for
suspended material.)
When the suspended material is
organic and the overall untreated waste
contains greater than IX TOC. these
dewatering technologies an also not
precluded from use. The resultant
residuals (Le« the removed solids and
the liquids) most comply with the
applicable wastewate ot nonwastewater
treament standards A»p»n/Mng on their
TOC and TSS content If the liquid
residues from thase dewatering
technologies meet the (infinitum of
wastewaters, the Agency does not
wprfiiaf thi« to be impermissible
switching of applicable standards.
H» importance of the TOC level in
determining impermissible switching of
applicable wastewater or
nonwastewater treatment standard is
apparent in the scenario of treatment of
a waste containing lesa then IX TSS and
slightly more than IX TOC (such as 2 or
3X TOC), and thereby being a
nonwastewater by definition. If EPA has
established concentration-based
treatment standards for the
corresponding wastewater form of this
waste, it would be permissible to use
carbon adsotption to treat this
nonwastewater. so long aa these
concentration-baaed treatment
standards for the wastewaten an
ultimately achieved (tew if the residual
wastewater contains hasardoua
constituents at levels above the
concentration-based wastewater
treatment standards, additional
treatment with other technologies is
naoeaaary prior to land disposal)
However, if EPA has established a
-------
• • ...
wasteweter treatment standard
expressed as Carbon Adsorption as a
Method of Treatment fortius waste
code, tfao nonwastewater described
above must comply with the standard
for the nonwastewater form,'despite the
fact that tho TOC content is only slightly
greater than 18. This is not just a
mechanical application of the
requirement that treatment must be
conducted by the specified method, with
the treatability group determined at the
point of generation. EPA established
Carbon Adsorption aa a Method of
Treatment standard far certain
wastewaters based on the assumption
that wastewaters typically contain TOC
levels much less than 1%, so that
removal of the organic constituents from
these wastewaters was anticipated to
be effective. If the nonwastewater
previously described is subjected to
carbon adsorption as a method of
treatment there would be so means of
flffanrfwg optimum removal of the
hazardous-constituents. Thus, in such a
situation, the use of carbon adsorption
for this nonwastewater. is not permitted
as a nw»n« of complying with BOAT.
The Agency consides this an
Impermissible switching of applicable
treatability groups and treatment
standards.
When EPA specifies a treatment
method aa the treatment standard,
residues resulting from the required
treatment method an no longer
prohibited from land disposal unless
EPA should otherwise specify. In the
Second Third final rule (see generally 54
FR 28625, 26630, June 23,1989), the T
Agency presented specific guidelines on
this. (This summary is repeated here far
the reader's convenience.) Where EPA
hag established Incineration as the
treatment standard for nonwastewaters
and/or wastewaters, or where EPA has
established Carbon Adsorption the
treatment standard for wastewaters, the
following statements mm-jwIbj
residuals from treatmentMns
incorporating these technologies are
true: (1) Scrubber waters from
incinerators in compliancewtth the
substantive provisions of40 CFR part
264 subpart O or part 268 subpart O are
considered to meet the treatment
standard and can be land disposed; (2)
die scrubber waters from incinerators fat
compliance with the sustentive
provisions of 40 CFR part 264 subpart O
or part 288 subpart O are not required to
undergo Carbon Adsorption as a
Method of Treatment when thia
specified wastewater treatment method
also has been established: (3) •
incinerator ashes and residues from the
subsequent treatment of scrubber
waters from incinerators in compliance
with the substantive provisions of 40
CFR part 264 subpart O or part 288
subpart O are considered to meet the
treatment standard, and can be land
disposed: (4) Incinerator equipment
(audi as fire brick) derived from
sections of the Incinerator that have
ben directly subjected to die high
temperatures of the incinerator mat was
operated In compliance with the
substantive provisions of 40 CFR part
284 subpart O or part 268 subpart O, or
are downstream from the high
temperature zones, are considered to
meet the treatment standards for the
wastes that were incinerated and can be
land disposed (this does not include
incinerator equipment such as refractory
bricks that, as manufactured, contain .
metals that may be characteristic
wastes by virtue of the EP toxicity test
when discarded); (8) wastewater
effluent and any subsequent
nonwastewater treatment residues from
carbon adsorption units treating
wastewater forms of these wastes (Le*
wastes from downstream from the
carbon column) are considered to meet
the specified treatment standard and
can be land disposed: and, (8) where
EPA specifies carbon adsorption aa die
treatment method for wastewaters,
spent carbon, as well as any other
nonwastewater residues from the
wastewater treatment preceding carbon
adsorption, are not considered to meet
the treatment standard: such spent
carbon and nonwastewater residues
must be treated by the specified
nonwastewater method prior to land
disposal.
e. Transfer of Treatment Standards
Rather than testing the performance of
BOAT on eveywastA in certain cases, '
the Agency transfers treatment
standards from a tested waste to a
similar untested waste. EPA believes
that transferring treatment performance
data for untested wastes is technically
valid, particularly when the untested
wastes an generated from similar
industries or similar processing steps.
EPA also believes that transferring
treatment performance data for tested
constituents in one waste to untested
constituents in another similar waste is
technically valid; particularly when the •
constituents and wastes have similar
chemical and physical properties.
To determine whether wastes
generated by different processes can be
treated to the same performance levels,
EPA reviews data on waste
characteristics to Identify parameters
that an expected to affect treatment
selection. When this analysis suggests
that an untested waste can be treated
with the same technology as a tested
waste, the Agency examines a more
comprehensive list of constituents tha
represent the most important waste
characteristics that will affect treatmen
performance.
The complete methodology for
transferring treatment standards,
however, depends upon the waste itself
and often differs from treatability group
to treatability group. For a detailed
discussion of the transfer methodology
for the wastes presented In today's rule,
refer to the background documents for
each waste or treatability group and the
background documents for the wastes
from which the treatment standards
were transferred.
EPA notes further that in the case of
transferring standards based on
performance of incineration, EPA is
most often transferring standards that
were based on the ability of the ¦
incinerator to achieve destruction of
organics to detection limits as measured
in the ash and scrubber water. This is
supported by data from approximately
fourteen different test burns for ft;
variety of different RCRA hazardous
wastes. These wastes contained varying
concentrations of many BDAT list
organics. In developing concentration-
based treatment standards for the U a
P wastes, the Agency considered all o.
the detection limits and determined
which were the most representative of U
and P wAstes. In order to account for the
anticipated variability in waste
characteristics of untreated U and P
wastes, die Agency typically selected
the highest detection limits for the
constituent that corresponded to the
chemical represented by the U or P
code. Thus, the Agency believes the
resultant treatment standards should be
achievable on a routine basis for the
majority of U and P wastes.
When developing ccncentretion-based
treatment standards for certain F and K
•wastes containing organics, the Agency
considered all of the data and
determined which particular waste was
the moat representative of that
particular For K waste based on the
availability of waste characterization
data. As a result the Agency often
transferred treatment standards that
woe significantly lower than those
developed for the U and P wastes. The
Agency believes that these lower
treatment standards an achievable for
these F and K wastes based on the
ability, to achieve detection limits for
organics in the.waste matrix from whi
the standard was.transferred.

(2) Grab venus Compoaita Samples.
When performance data exist based on
both the analysis of composite samples
and the analysis of grab samples, the
Agency establishes the treatment
standards based on the analysis of grab
samples. Grab samples normally reflect
Hwirfiimm process variability, and thus
would reasonably characterize the range
of treatment system performance.
Incases when only compoaita data
exist the Agency considers ths QA/QC
of tha data, the aXftMenry nf the
proeasadedgn. and tha level of
performance achieved. The Agency may
then choose to use this composite data
to develop the treatment standard.- '
When these data an used to establish
the treatment standard, the treatment
standard is identified as based on
analysis of a composite sample.
Enforcement of that standard thus
would also be based on composite
(3) Waste Anafyah Plaits. The waste
analysis plan provides the basis for
monitoring a disposal facility's
compliance with tha promulgated
treatment standards. This plan must be
adequate to assure compliance with part
288. The disposal facility la, however.
ultimately responsible if it disposes of a
waste that does not meet a treatment
standard. Therefore, a disposal facility
might violate the land disposal
restrictions while at the same time-
comply with the provisions of Its nvaste
analysis plan. Pot another way, a waste
analysis plan may be written to
authorise types of sampling and.
Uflnjtnriwg different from rt""* muni to
develop this treatment standardCs). In^
SQCh |Q fa rftigpftfml ftirillty
most demonstrate that the waste
analysis pi"1 (and the specific deviating
foatun) la adequate to assure -
compliance with part 208 (see 40 CF1V
28113). This might require, for example^
a demonstration of statistical
equivalence between a composite
sampling protocol and one based oq.
grab sampling, or a demonstration o£. .¦
why monitoring for a subset of .
pollutants would assun compliance of
those not monitored. In any case,
nfirwunin* of the land disposal
restrictions is based on grab samples
(except as described in the previous
section) and analysis of all constituents
regulated by the applicable treatment
standand* not en the facility's waste' •
analysis plan. (See preamble section
IILG. for farther discussioirof WAP*.)
g. Analytical Requirements, the BOAT.
List ami Relationship of PQLs to BOAT
(1) Wasta Analysis Requirements. in
today's rule, BOAT has been identif
as a destruction technology for organic
constituents and cyanides in many
wastes. The beat measure of tnatn t
performance for these wastes is one that
reflects ths extent to which these
organics and cyanides have been
destroyed This approach is consistent
with the Congressional pnference to
destroy hazardous wastes where
possible. See, e^, 130 Cong. Rec. S
9178-9179 (July 28.1984) (statement of
Sen. Chaffee) (wastes with high organic
content should be incinerated). This
approach Is also consistent with the
strong Congressional goal of "HmiwnUng
uncertainty from the land disposal of
hazardous waste. See, &g^ RCRA
section 3004(d)(1), because it ensures -
removal of hazardous constituents from
the (and disposal environment The
corresponding treatment standards for
these constituents an based therefore,
on an analysis of total constituent
concentrations in a representative
sample of the treated waste.,
(Note: The land disposal restrictions
for solvent waste codes F001-P005 (Si
FR 40872) requin analysis of waste
extracts obtained from the Toxicity
Characteristic f^ing
(TCLP) aa a meaaun of performance. At
the time that the treatment standards for
FttK-4D0S wen promulgated useful
data wen not available on total
constituent concentrations in treated
residuals and aa a result the TCLP was
considered to be tha best available
measun to evaluate performance of the
treatment technology.)
In cases when treatment standards
foe metals in nonwastewaters are based '
on stabilization, the use of the TCLP is
typically required aa the measun of the
performance of the treatment
technology. When treatment standards
fomonwaatewaters an based on
multiple treatment processes due to
mfxliires of organics and metals, or
where lecuwexy of metals is the basis-of
tha treatment standards, analysis of
total constituent concentrations and
analysis of the TCLP extract (or EP
extract depending upon the standard)
must be performed prior to land
disposal.

Several commenten raised the issue
Ait, in r«F*niw cases, analytical
problems (L&, difficulties in reliable .
quantitation at detection limits-near the .

problem in a number of ways. First. EPA
has examined detection limit data
nhmlHaJ Ky tK. ¦
compared them to tha data used to
develop the proposed standards. After a»
thorough technical evalnatfanuthe
Agency incorporated a portion of thSso-
data Into du in
today's rale. In addition. the Agency has

result EPA is promulgatiag'ievised '
treatment standards for some organics

over ability to measure at
concentrations near the standards are
no longer applicable. (Note: Tha Agency

Second, in certain situations where
compliance with a standard cannot be
demonstrated for a particular waste due
to problems with analytical detection
limits end where the treatment
technology employed was considered by
the Agency to be BDAT (see specific
Instances below), the Agency has
decided that reiumca upon the
treatability, variants petition process
would plana an unnecessary burden qn
both die regulated and regulatory
communities.Tfce Agency believes that
where a waste haa been treated with a

and issue guidance on what constitute*

In compliance with all applicable
technical operating requirements under
40 CFR part 284 subpart O and part 285
subpart O. Thus, it is likely that the
combustion unit ia being operated
properly). The Agency believes that this
ia conahrtent with RCRA section
3004(mfc in that as an alternative to
specifying a concentration-based
standard for these wastes, the Agency
could have promulgated a method of
treatment specifying the use of
incineration or fuel substitution.
One commenter requested that
persons with untreated wastes also be
allowed to certify compliance if
analytical problems prevent/their-
demonstrating cojnpliancawith the
treatment standards; Hie Agency
emphatically disagrees. This situation
haa a substantial potential to mask the
presence of hazardous constituents.
Untreated wastes, .and wastes treated
by other than tin aforementioned
combustion processes (e.g* _
bio treatment), typically contain many
materials that interfere with achieving
low detection limits. Such wastes can.
thus, contain significant levels of
hazardous constituents even when the
treatment processes operating properly.
Allowing land disposal of such wastes
would be contrary tb the objectives of
the land disposal-restrictions statutory
provisions. In addition, the rules already
allow generators to certify compliance
based on their knowledge of the waste,
rather than bv testing (section.
288>7(a)(2))> »a generator believes, for
example, that as a result of mass

that am capable of providhig legitimate
treatment far «a& aqueous wastes do
exist Next EPA investigated
information about technology treatment
capabilities corresponding to the organic
and water contents of wastes. Far
example, the Agency has information
indicating that incineration is generally
applied to those wastes having greater
than 10 percent organic content and that
technologies such as air stripping, wet
air oxidation, and solvent extraction can
be applied to streams containing up to
10 percent organic content Using mis
information, along with the Agency's
regulatory definitions of wastewaters
and nonwastewaters. EPA determined
that the D001 Ignitable Liquids ¦
Subcategory should be farther
treatalriStygpmips as follows: (1) D001
Ignitable Liquids High TOC
Nonwastewaters. (2) D001 Ignitable
Liquids Low TOC Nonwastewaters. and
(3) D001 Ignitable Liquids Wastewaters.
The Ignitable Liquids High TOC
Nonwastewater Subcategory is defined
as ignitable liquid wastes that contain
greater than or equal to 10 percent TOC
as generated. These wastes have large
organic concentrations, high BTU
content and low water content It is
common practice to recover reusable
organic materials from these wastes
using processes such as distillation,
steam stripping; and liquid-liquid
extraction. Also, many of these wastes
are excellent candidates for fuel
substitution because of high BTU values.
(Additional discussion on fuel
substitution as a treatment method far
these wastes is contained in the
discussion of national capacity
variances in section QLB.) The Agency
is promulgating "Incineration (INCIN),
Fuel Substitution (FSUBS), or Recovery
(RORGS) a Method of Treatment" for
this treatability group. See § 288.42
Table 1 in today's rale far a detailed
description of the technology standard
referred to by the five letfertechnology
code in parentheses. /- •
The Agency bellev ee IfcMppruyriate to
require that these wastet be treated by
some type of destruction and recovery
technology given that they often contain
high concentrations of toxic organic
constituents that provide the ignitability
characteristic to me waste, lite toxics hi
these wastes might not be destroyed if
the waste could be land disposed so
long as it is not ignitable at the point of
disposal. Additionally, the Agency notes
that this is an instance illustrating how a
point-of-generation approach (Le* the
treatment method applies if the waste is
in the treatability group when
generated] ensures that the objectives of
section 3004(m) are satisfied. EPA also
notes that if an Ignitable Liquids High
TOC Nonwastewater is commingled
with other waste streams, the entire
mixture must be treated by one of the
methods prescribed for Ignitable Liquids
High TOC Nonwastewater Subcategory
28841(b). This is an instance of how the
rales seek to ensure that wastes are not
commingled if the treatment method is
not appropriate for each commingled
waste. Put another way, commingling of
Ignitable liquids High TOC
Nonwastewaters with non-indnerable
wastes is normally a type of
impermissible dilution. See 82 FR 25788
(July a 1987).
The Ignitable Liquids Low TOC
Nonwastewater Subcategory is defined
as wastes that contain greater than 1%
but less than 10% TOC as generated.
The Ignitable Liquids Wastewater
Subcategory is defined as wastes that
contain less than 1 percent TOC and
less than 1 percent TSS as generated.
The Agency believes that some of these
wastes can be effectively treated (Le«
remove the characteristic of ignitability
by either destroying or recovering the
organic constituents that gave the waste
its ignitable character] using
technologies applicable for treatment of
aqueous wastes. In some cases, these
wastewaters and low TOC
nonwastewaters may need to be mixed
with other wastewaters to achieve an
organic concentration desirable for
proper operation of a treatment system
for aqueous wastes. For instance,
wastewaters destined for biological
treatment are often commingled to
achieve an organic concentration that is
optimal for the microorganisms. Fuel
substitution is not considered practical
since wastes in both these categories
generally do not have Ugh BTU contents
because they contain mostly water.
Most of these wastes can be treated
with wastewater technologies; however,
inclneratftm may also be applicable!
especially for the Low TOC
Nonwastewaters. EPA is promulgating
Deactivation (DEACT) to Remove the
Characteristic of Ignitability" for both
the Ignitable Liquids Low TOC
Nonwastewater Subcategory and the
Ignitable Liquids Wastewater
Subcategory. See section 288 appendix
VI of today's rale for a list of applicable
technologies that used alone or in
combination can achieve this standard.
(See elso 9 28842 Table 1 for e technical
description of these technologies. A five
letter code (acronym) for each
technology has been established in
order to simplify die tables.)
One commenter requested
clarification on whether phase
separation followed by recovery or use
as a foel of the organic phase could be
considered a permissible type of
deactivation treatment for ignitible
wastes. EPA considers processes that
separate an organic phase to be
recovery (or in some cases
pre treatment) and, hence, acceptable
treatment provided the separated
organic phase is reused or further
treated by a technology that will remove
the characteristic of ignitability. The
aqueous phase would not require farther
treatment unless it still exhibited the
ignitability characteristic (assuming the
a (means phase is not hazardous for any
other reason). See also discussion of
permissible switching of applicable
wastewater and nonwastewater
standards 34 FR 48383 (November 22,
1989). (Additionally, this is in keeping
with the general principle established in
these rules that determination of
whether a characteristic waste achieves
BOAT must be reevaluated whenever a
treatment residual is generated. Put
another way, each new treetability
group is a new point of generation for a
characteristic waste. See section OLD.
below.) •"
EPA is aware that some D001
Ignitable Liquids have been shown to
contain organic constituents that are
also constituents in F001-F005 solvents
The Agency.studied the option of
transferring the standards for these
constituents from the corresponding
F001-F0C5 standards promulgated in the
November 7,1988, final rule (51 FR
40842). The Agency received comments
for and against this option; However,
the Agency believes that this option
would create an unnecessary burden on
the regulated community since the
majority of D001 wastes in the Ignitable
Liquids Subcategory should not contain
these constituents and that most wastes
containing F001-F008 constituents are
probably cases of misclassification.
Misclassifying FOOl-POOS waste as 0001
. is currently one of the largest
' enforcement issues in the RCRA
program. Such misclassification is. of
course, illegal and a serious infraction. It
avoids the Congressionally mandated
treatment standards for the prohibited
solvent wastes. Indeed, solvents were
the wastes Congress prioritized for
prohibition and treatment EPA believes,
however, that the problem Is best
handled through enforcement rather
than establishing treatment standards
for the-mis classified wastes because it
seems an unreasonable burden to
require generators of authentic D001
wastes to conduct the significant
amount of testing and certification
required under the land disposal

(3) Ignitable Reactive* Subcategory.
The third subcategory, tha TjwOahU
Raactives Subcategory, refers to those
DOOl'wastes that exhibit tha properti
listed fa 9 28121(a)(2). These wastes are
typically generated on a sporadic basis
in low volumes and are characterized as
primarily inorganic solids or wastes
containing reactive materials. Ignitable
reactive materials include reactive
alkali metals or metaBoids (such as
sodium and potassium] ami calcium
carbide slags. Most of these are very
reactive with water and win generate
gases that can ignite as tha malt of heat
generated from the reaction with water.
Other reactive Ignitable solids hi this
subcategory Include metals such as
magnesium and aluminum that, when
finely divided, can vigorously react with
the oxygen ia the air when ignited.
There appears to be an overlap
between wastes in this DOOl subcategory
and certain D003 [characteristic of
reactivity) wastes. A close examination
of tile fa J 28L21(a)(2) for
Ignitable wastaa and U 28123(a) [2], (3),
and (0) for reactive wastes reveals the
distinction between these two groups.
The Key (Bfihrence ia fa the definition of

that incineration is also an appropriate

Additionally, other commentate have
indicated that recovery technologies an
applicable for some wastes in this
subcategory. EPA also believes that
stabilization is an established
deactivation technique for safe and
equivalent management of reactive
ignitable materials sines it accomplishes
results equivalent to those of other

encapsulating the pyrophoric metal fines
and precluding conditions that could

Other Haacthras subcategory and refers
to those DOOS wastes that exhibit the
properties listed in | an 33(a)(1).
For all subcategories of DD03 wastes
except the Reactive Cyanides, the
Agency believes that development of
concantraUon-baaed treatment
standards would be difficult because
there ere no known analytical tests that
are specifically designed to measare the
particular reactivOy associated with ¦
each DOOS treatability subcategory, ner
is there a test that dMngnishes the
reactive chemical bora the deactivated
chemical.
. The Agency solicited comments and
data on me physical snd chemical
characterization of all five subcategories
of DOOS wastes. The Agency abo
requested comment on the applicability
of chemical deactivation* incineration,
and any other type of chemical or
physical deactivation technology to
thesa wastes.
(I) Jleectfrv Cyanides. DOOSwaates in
die Reactive Cyanide* Subcategory are
by definition those (Tanide-bearing
wastes that generate toxic gases
(assumed to be hydrogen cyanide) when
exposed to pH conditions between 2 and
12JS, in a sufficient quantity to present a
danger to human health and the
environment {40 CFR28L23(a}(5]).
Cnmrnwitats requested dariflcatton of'
which anatytteal methods should be
used to determine reactive cyanide and
associated toxic gaa liberation. EPA's
approved analytical procedures can be
found In SW-848 VqL lC, Chapter 7

has suggested, however, that these

FDO6-FOO0). For wastewater* in the
Reactive Cyanides Subcategory, EPA
proposed to transfer treatment
performance from treatment of FD0&-
F009 wastewaters using alkaline
chlorinatioa, since this is the best
treatment data available to the Agency
for wastewaters containing high
concentrations of cyanides.
With respect to the transfer being
valid, several comstenters submitted
data indicating that D003 wastes fat the
Reactive Cyanides Sobtalayy mow
closely resemble the wastes containing
complexed cyanides rather thai tbe
wastes containing simple cyanides and
that the proposed treatment levels were
unachievable far some D003 wastes
because of the presence of iron cyanide
and other cyanide conptexea. One
wwmiMMifff rl»rnMiil itiirf, {jj wny wrnxi,
iron contamination in some D009

Based on the high iron contents shown
to be pieaent in some D003 cyanide
wastes, the Agency believes that some
D003 cyanide wastes may contain
complexed cyanides and thus may not
be treatable to tbe 110 mg/kgleveL One
cotmnenter suggested that the Agency
develop two treatability groups for
nonwastewater forms in the D003

on the coaceutratlun of complex cyanide

for wastes containing high .

Therefore, the Agency is pro mnlga ting a
treatment standard of590 mg/kg total

(La. F006-P0Q8 noowastewaters) Cor

Identify as Indicator compound QLo*
cyanide) thaffs known to be present In
all 0003 reactive cyanide wastes and
can analyse the tafica&s compound in
waatawater and nonwastewater

analytical test methods. (See alao
section IILAA(a) of today's preamble
for a farther dlscussioa of cyanide-
treatment standards for other wastes
qnJ a iJaiffli-aHiiii of the analytical'
methodology for compliance with tha
promulgated standards.} Second, EPA
believes moat 0003 cyanide wastes am-
generated from the aama types of
processes that generate the F006-F012
and P030 wastes and thus, are
frequently of the same type, aad present
similar risks whan land disposed as the
listed wastes. EPA does not believe that
establishing the same treatment
standards for tbe D003 wastes that have
bean established far the Hated-wastes
(assuming, of course, tint such
standards ara consistent with tha
command of section 3004(m) to reduce
toxicity or mobility so that risks to
health and the environment are
miaimiied). Finally, the Agency suspects
that same generates am currently
mi solas affying FOOa-FOtt and P030
wastes as 0003 reactive cyanide wastes.
While this is primarily an issue for
enforcement, the Agency-is concealer*
that a lass ¦Mnyni standard would
discourage proper identification of the F
and P cyanide wastes.
The Agency realizes that reactive
cyanide wastes treated to meet the
promulgated standard may no longer
exhibit the characteristic of reactivity
(although the determination of reactivity
can eometimes be difficult due to the
non-quantified standard in
9 281u3fa)(SJ). The Agency believes this
appropriate. As discussed in section
mi), the Agency sees no legal bar fat
establishing treatment standards that
are below fee characteristic level Doing
so is appropriate for these wastes
because the reactivity characteristic
does not evaluate the toxic nature of tbe
wastes, because Congress spedfieaHy
intended that cyanides be destroyed
where possible (see statement^
Senator Chafee, 130 Cong. Re«£ 9178-9
duly 25,1964}^ and because tg^Agency
believes the similarity of most D003
wastes and the F008-F009 wastes
warrants the same treatment standards
for each in order to satisfy die section
3004(m} standard.
(2) Reactive SaJffdea Subcategory.
D003 wastes in the Reactive Sulfides
Subcategory are by definition those
snlfide-bearing wastes that generate
toxic gases (assumed to be H»S] when
exposed to a pH between 2 and 1Z-5, in
a sufficient quantity to present a dariger
to human health awl the environment.
Currently the accepted method for
quantitatively determining reactive
sulfides Is outlined in SW-846, VoLlC,
S 7U&2 andin Method 903a
The Agency kin the process of
developing a quantitative threshold for
toxic gesgencrated from reactive sulfide
wastes. Tbe interim value the Agency is
considering is 500 mg of HtS generated
per kilogram of waste. Although this
number la only an fatarfm jiwuiiim for
the purpose of BOAT determinations,
the Agency proposed to use this number
to identify the wastes in this
subcategory (given tha need for an
objective means of determining the
subcategory's applicability). The Agency
received several comments stating that
a test method should be finalised and a
rationale pahHshed prior to setting this
threshold aa a numerical standard. EPA
agieee with the commenters-that for
wastes in this subcategory the test

Agency1! action
viewed as redefining the characteristic
for sulfide-bearing waste*. '
Reactive sulfides may be treated and
chemically converted to relatively inert
sulfur, to insoluble metallic sulfide salts,
or to soluble sulfates that can be
removed or recovered. Some data
indicate that these wastes can be
treated by alkaline chlorination,.
specialty incineration, or other chemical
deactivation techniques. The Agency
believes that sane of these wastes may
also be contaminated with organic
sulfides known as menaptans. These
malodorous chemicals are believed to
complicate the treatment of these
reactive sulfide wastes. It is believed
that these wastes have posed particular
treatment problems for the petroleum
refining Industry and the paper and pulp
industry.
The Agency solicited waste
characterisation and treatment data that
could potentially be used to develop
treatment*standards for these wastes.
One connaenter sent data demonstrating
that treatment with chlorine dioxide is a
very effective technology for destroying
organic «wHM— ami mercaptans in
petroleum wastes. Another commentar .
submitted stabilization data indicating
that this treatment process can treat
D003 reactive sulfide wastes by

Because of the1
processes currently used-to treat
reactive sulfide wastes, the Agency is
promulgating a treatment standard of- -
"Deactivation (DEACT] to Remove the
Characteristic of Reactivity" for
nonwastewatara and wastewaters in the
D003 Reactive Sulfides Subcategory to
allow the treatment facility the
flexibility to use the "best" technology
for the particular waste stream. See
section 288 Appendix VI of today's role
for a list of applicable technologies that
used alone or in can
achieve this standard. (See also i 288.42
1>M«1 fnrm tiAntoal «l—.Mplf.nt.irf
these technologies. A five letter code
(acronym) for each technology has been
established in order to simplify the
tables.) The treatment standard Is
expressed as required methoda of
treatment rather than as a
concentration-based staiidard because
the Agency has not approved a standard
analytical method for testing either
sulfides or "reactive" sulfides in
hazardous wastes or in treatment
residues (however, as noted above, the
Agency is working to develop a -
quantitative threshold for reactive
sulfides). In the fixture the Agency may

forbidden. Class A. or Class B
explosives (according to 49 CHI 173J2,
173J3, and 17348 respectively).
Commenters expressed concern that
many types of waste may foil into a
potentially explosive classification, and
requested a standardized procedure for
making a reactivity determination to
assist in die classification, of explosive
hazardous wastes. The Agency chose to
tidy on the current descriptive definition
primarily because the available tests for
measuring the various classes embraced
by the reactivity definition suffer from
fi> tOM, mHw an tntomgnnry
agreement with the Rireau of Mines
(BOM^OSW sponsored research on
two test methods designed to determine
whether a substance had explosive
properties. Htiwevte; in June 1985, the
Agency Issued Memorandum #7
(OSWER Dir. 944&0<88)) that explained
that the BOM test remits were
jnnonr.lusive, and in the interim, OSW
supported the use of a battery .of tests
submitted by the U.S. Army to the '.
Agency. Information on these Army
tests can be obtained from the Office of
Solid Waste's Methoda Section (202-
382-4770).
Wastes classified as D003 and
belonging to the explosives subcategory.-
have typically been identified as being
generated by the explosives industry
and by the V3. Department of Defense,
While these wastes are not generated as
frequently as the reactive cyanides, they
are generated more often than all other
reactive subcategories. Sqilosives are-
already sub ject to spedal requirements
prior to disposal in landfills, surface
impoundments, and waste piles under
existing regulations. Hiese explosive
wastes ere not typically placed in most

• waste by thermal or chemical
destruction of explosive constituents.
Incineration is an applicable
technology for some D003 explosive
wastes. Such units are not typically
frand'at commercial incineration
facilities. The Agency is aware that
incineration units specially designed
and fitted with explosion-proof
equipment are currently used by the
Department of Defense to treat
explosive wastes. One commenter
suggested that die Agency, divide, the
explosive wastes into indnerable and
nonindnerable wastes. EPA, however,
could not make a determination of
explosive wastes that could always be
incinerated 100X of the time as
The Agency proposed a general
standard of "Deactivation10 for tha D003
Explosives Subcategory. By establishing
thia standard, the Agency ia allqMng
the regulated community to usejj^gt
treatment technology (e^. IndisrAtion.
diemlcal deactivation) that beat fits the
type of explosive waste. The Agency
took this approach for these wastes
since the hazardous characteristic is
based on imminent hazard (L&,
explosivityj rather than on other criteria
such aa levels of hazardoua constituents,
and because technologies exist that can
completely remove this characteristic.
Due to die large number of explosive
formulations «"i the difference in
applicable treatments (see Department
of the Army Technical Manual TM9-
1300-214, Military Explosives}, the
Agency continues to believe that the
proposed standard la applicable for
wastes in the D003 Explosive
Subcategory and is promulgating a
treatment standard of "Deactivation

with the DOM through D011 treatment
standards. The Agency agrees that these
as well as other similar wastes form a
different treatability group, and Is
identifying this group of D004 through
D011 wastes as the Inorganic solids
debris" treatability group. Wastes in this
treatability group are defined in
S 28&2(a)plof today's rale as follows:
"nonviable Sxorganic solids that an
incapable n*r iTTfl through a &S mm
standard sieve that require cutting or
crashing and grinding in mechanical

limited to the following Inorganic or
metal materials: (J) Metal slags (either
dross or scoria); (2] glassified slag; (3)
glass; (4) concrete [excluding
cementltioas or pondanin stabilized
hazardous wastes); (5) masonry and
refractory bricks; (6) metal nana,
containers, drums, ax tanks; (7) metal
nuts, bolts, pipes, pumps, valves,
appliances, or tmhmrial equipment; and
(8) scrap metal as defined in 40 CFR
2814(c)(6). (Note The U mm.

similar requirement for pre treatment of

Data on a K031 waste with an

(based on analysis of an EP extract)
indicate that the teachability of arsenic
decreases somewhat for all binders. Tito
best results wen obtained from asphalt
stabilization, which provided reductions
to 2M mg/1 (EP}. Data on a DOM waste
Identified as an arsenic sulfide waste
show an incnasa in teachability when
cement silicate polymer, clay, and

However, data on this waste using an
asphalt binder indicated a reduction in.
teachability of arsenic from 41 mg/1 to
17 mg/1 (EP). Data and information on a
smelter dust that leaches ~aresenic
indicate that cement binders can
increase the teachability of the arsenic,

EPA mads this determination based on

then available appeared to Indicate that
conventional staMllsatioa.(e£w cement)

However, because of tha broader

Agency considered thteproceaa to ha an
alternative technology to vitrification for
K031, K084. K10L K1Q2, B0S8, F038, Uiaa
and D004 wastes containing organics
and organo arsenical*.
The Agency still believes that
vitrification represents the "best"
technology because the data support
treatment of arsenic present at -
percentage concentrations along with
volume reductions for land disposal. Tha
Agency also believes that incineration
or complex chemical treatment followed
by stabilization may work for some
forms of arsenic in some wastes, but the
increases in volume for disposal make
this technology less desirable than
vitrification.

ringing from apprqadagrtejy28% total
arsenic in P038 to a minimum of 75* in
P011. While some of these U and P
wastes may contain percentage levels of
aneaic greater than the amount in tha
untreated waste usedto develop the
treatment standard (Le^ 2U percent),
tha Agency believes that the arsenic
content tat these wastes are similar
enough to transfer this standard. In
additi"". for such wastes, the Agency
believes that more glass-forming
reagents can be added to the molten
slag/waste mixture (fairing the
vitrification process in order to achieve
the promulgated treatment standard
Based on EPA's analysis of additional
vitrification data, the Agency believes
that the performance of die vitrification
technology and analytic variability of
treatment residues will not change
significantly for different araenta-
containing wastes: thus, this transfer is
legitimate.
For O004 nonwastewaters, EPA is
promulgating the characteristic level of
5U) mg/T arsenic as the treatment
standard. The Agency has taken this
approach because available data
indicate that treatment below the
characteristic level Is achievable (albeit
the extent is not readily ascertainable
for the entire group of D004 wastes] and
hatum—i of the ffwum for the potential
that if a waste does not achieve tha
that could be created by establishing a
standard slightly Mgtm* than the
characteristic level. In addition, given
the statutory hard hammer, EPA would
not establish a treatment standard at a ''
higher level unless then dearly was a
problem treating to the hard hammer.
leveL Although the data are equivocal,
the Agency does not beHava that
treatment to the characteristic level Is
unachievable. Furthermore, the Agency
beUevea that persons will aonnally try
to ensure that their waste no longer
exhibits a characteristte inorder to have
less expensive subtftSfflttEBBposaL and
also because these togiieTscini cannot- -

Since the vitrification performance

nonwastewatar treatment standards for
arsenic were EP toxicity leachate data,
tha Agency has based-tha
nenwaatewater standards on the arsenic
concentration in tha EP leachate.

The Agency solidted comment on
whether it should specify the
predpitating reagent for all wastewaters
containing arsenic as part of the
treatment standard. Commenters said
that the Agency should not specify
which reagents should be used to
precipitate arsenic from wastewaters
because the chemical matrix of inch
wastewater is unique and therefore each
wastewater should be evaluated
individually to determine the fl
appropriate reagent for remov&g
arsenic. Baaed an the diversitSif waste
characterization date for the i
wastes, the Agency agrees wil
commenters and ia not specifying
precipitating reagents¦
(b) Standards for Arsenic-Containing
Wastewaters. In the proposed rale, the
Agency based a treatment standard of
0l79 mg/1 arsenic for aU D004
wastewaters on performance data
demonstrating the precipitation of
arsenic from wastewaters identified as
D004 from the veterinary
pharmaceutical industry. Tha treatment
system consisted of precipitation using
lime followed by manganeae sulfate and
ferric sulfate la a three-stage alkaline
process. Tha untreated waatewater date
were for a waste consisting of a mixture
of organo-arsenicals and inorganic
arsenic compounds in concentrations up
to 1.900 ppm. At the time of the
proposed rule, the Agency believed that
these data represented a D004
wastewater matrix that would be the
most difficult to treat
Soma commenters have indicated that
they cannot treat to the proposed levels
because some 0004 wastewaters require
more extensive treatment trains in order
to treat other metals, and also contain
organics, which interfere with the
treatment of the arsenic. On*
commenter described a treatment
procesa that required a reduction step
for hexavaient chromium and an
oxidation step with peroxides or
permanganates to treat die organo-
anwmicale. Reduction of the chromium is
required to precipitate chromium

the Agency reconsider treatment to the
characteristic level because experience
indicates that a level of 10 mg/l can be
achieved but not a level of 0J9 mg/L
However, the commenter submitted w
data to substantiate this daim. Other
wmnwntw nl«n indicated difficulty
meeting the proposed level of 0J9 mg/l
arsenic when treating scrubber water*
containing arsenic and wastewaters
rnnteining tunrnflnnmnriwinta
compounds.
Based on the information in the
comments, the Agency believes that it
may not be possible for all generators of
D004 wastewaters to meet a level of 079
mg/l arsenic In addition, and mora
important, EPA ha* determined not to
impose treatment standards below
characteristic levels for characteristic
wastewatan (La* is choosing to apply
the prohibiten at die point of disposal)
in order ta-praperiy integrate Clean
Water Act (CWA) programs with the
RCRA land ban, and due to gensal
protectiveness of class I nonaazardous
UIC well disposal for dilute metals.
Hence, EPA Is promulgating a treatment
standard of &0 mg/l arsenic for D004
wastewaters. It should be mentioned .
that EPA still believes precipitation to
be BDAT for arsenic wastewaters
because even a difficult to treat waste
(Le* the hexaflooroanenate waste)
shows a reduction in total arsenic
concentration.
The constituents for which PQ10, P011.
and P0I2 wastes am listed are all
inorganic terns of arsenic. The
constituents for which P038, P038, and'
U138 wastes an listed an all organic
forms of arsenic. K031 and K084 are
typically generated as pnbeesa wastes
mat contain mixtures offfiiteltganie
and inorganic forms of ¦¦¦angi Although
all of these wastes an tjjg£ggy
generated as nonwastuwCiun the
Agency expects that wastewater fonzts
of these wastes may be generated from
incidental spills or from the treatment
process itself and thus require treatment
standards. The Agency is transferring
the D004 performance data and
concentration-based treatment standard
of079 mg/l to K031. K084, POia P011.
P012, P030, P038, and U138 wastewaters.
The Agency has chosen to transfer
treatment performance from the
treatment of the D004 veterinary
pharmaceutical wastewaters because
these wastewaters should contain
iJuHlnnyimMnlnol ami hmfjmlii
arsenic compounds that can be removed
by Urns foUowedby manganese sulfate
and ferric precipitation.
[3)Revtiiona toKlOl andKltO
Treatment Standards. In the Flnt Third
Final Rnle (53 FR 3U7Q, August 17,
1989). the Agency established two
subcategories of K101 and K10Z
nonwastewaters based on the
concentration of arsenic in the waste. A
low arsenic subcategory was
xtahlUKoH far mtihifafag
than 1 percent arsenic and a high
arsenic subcategory for waste
containing 1 percent or greater. In
today's rale, the Agency is changing the
nonwastewater standards for K101 and
K102 promulgated in tha First Third
Final Rule as proposed by eliminating
the low and high level arsenic
subcategories and by replacing the
existing metal standards with a
concentration-based treatment standard
for arsenic of 5i) mg/l (measured in tha
EP extract) baaed on the performance of
vitrification: The organic standards will
remain the ««« as *imf established in
the Ffrst Third Final Rule.
The Agency is also promulgating new
wastewater treatment standards for
Klin and K102 in today's rale.
Standards for K101 and K102
wastewaters were promulgated in the
First Third rule (53 FR 31170, August 17,
1988) and woe applicable to all forms of
KM and K102 wastewaters (Le, they
did not distinguish between high arsenic
or low arsenic subcategories). These
promulgated standards wen based on
the same BOO* wastewater treatment
data used in today's proposal to
establish arsenic standards for other K,
U, and P wastes* In the process of
reevaluating tha DOM wastewater
treatment data for today's tola,
however; EPA discovered an error in the
calculation of the promulgated K101 and
K102 wastewater standards for the
metal constituents. The Agency is
correcting this error by amending the
wastewater standards for the metal
constituents (arsenic, cadmium, lead,
and mercury) in K101 and K102 as
proposed. Therefore, a new treatment
standard of 0i79 mg/l for arsenic. QJA
mg/l for cadmium, 0.17 mg/l for lead,
and OJBt mg/l for merenry is being
promulgated. Since then was no error in
the calculation of the promulgated
standards for the organic constituents,
they an not being changed. The
promulgated standards for the organica
an being presented for convenience of
the reader.

(1) DOOS—Characteristic Barium
Waste*. Today's rale promulgates
concentration-based treatment
standards for all D006 wastes expressed
aa the characteristic level for barium,
100 mg/L The Agency is adopting thia
approach because of the data
Auiu Uii i«« discussed above, andisane
that were raised in the public comments
that are diasossed in the following,
paragrapha.
Several conwieiiters requested that
the treatment standard be set at the
characteristic level. Aa mentioned
above, the Agency received data for
D00S, all of which demonstrates
treatment to below the characteristic
level of 100 mg/L Because DOOS wastes
are so diverse (in fact an arganobartum
waste stream was Identified by two
commenters when the Agency primarily
characterized thia waste aa an inorganic
waste stream) and the data received
during the comment period so
inconclusive aa to establishing a
for all DOOS wastes, the Agency is
promulgating the characteristic level aa
the treatment standard. The Agency is
confident however; based an tha data
received, that treatment to achieve the
100 mg/1 level is possible for both
wastewater and umiwastewater forms
of D00S.
Many commenters requested that a
concentration-based standard be
established for DOOS mmwastawatara
rather than the propoaed method of
treatment. As explained above, thia ia
tha approach that is being promulgated
in today*a rale. The Agency prefera to
set a concentration-based treatment
standard rather than specifying a
method of treatment because it allows
the treater of any of the various forms of
DOOS maiHmnm flexibility in the choice
of treatment technology most,
appropriate for the waste. Additionally,
some commenters disagreed with the
proposed specification of precipitating
reagents (La, precipitation as sulfate or
carbonate}. The Agency agrees that
specifying precipitating reagents may ~
cause unnecessary problems for the
treatment industry in that treatment of
barium often takes place in a waste
stream containing other metals for
which the specified reagent is
inappropriate.
Commenters opposed the^oposed
DOOS wastewater treatmenfcitandard as
being unattainable, stating fidther that
the 14S mg/1 standard is overly
restrictive because it is very dose to the
Agency's drinking water standard. Only
one data point was received during the
comment period for treatment of DOOS
wastewaters, not enough data to support
a concentration-baaed standard for the
diverse forms of DOOS wastewaters.
Additionally, some commenters
disagreed with EPA's discussion of
typical precipitation reagents suitable
for DOOS (and P013). The Agency has
data that barium is usually
predpitated as a sulfate salt
Commenters expressed concern that the
Agency should neither set precipitation
aa a required method of treatment far
these wastewaters nor specify required
predpitatlan reagents. The Agency is
not promulgating a treatment standard
expressed as a required method, and
agrees that specifying precipitating
reagents may cause unnecessary
problems for the treatment industry.
(2) P013—Barium Cyanide. Today's
mis promulgates barium treatment
standards for P013, barium cyanide
wastes. Treatment standards for
cyanide in P013 were promulgated in the
June 23.1988 final rule for Second Third

considering these comments applicable

objected to the specification of

iron and steel industry.) TUs waa
because the chromium standards that
ited for KDS2 wastes were

(including D007 wastes). The treatment
process included hexavalent chromium

and for reasons ondhted in section IILO.
of today's preamble, the Agency is not
promulgating the proposed treatment
standard of 0l32 mg/l and. instead, is
establishing the characteristic level (La*
8J mg/l) as the treatment standard for
D007 wastewaters.
01) Nonwastewaters. Except for DO07
refractory brides (see discussion below),
the majority of the commentere believed
that the 1X094 mg/l TCLP standard based
on a transfer from KO0Z wastes could
not be achieved. However, tha
alternative standards proposed for D007
nonwastewaters (Le* 5-2 mg/l TCLP
based on the transfer, from F006 and
capping the standard at the 5.0 mg/l
characteristic level) could be achieved __
on a routine basis. In support of their
position, they submitted ten specific sets
of data on the treatment of various D007
wastes. The Agency examined the
quality and completeness of these data
for the nonwastewater residues.
The Agency determined tha| eight of
the ten data sets could not safport the
development treatment stanopds due to
a significant lack of information, on:
Influent concentrations, waste source
descriptions binder/waste ratios,
treatment operating/design information,
the existence of a pre treatment step
Chexavalent chromium reduction), and /
or quality assurance and quality control
information. The Agency also
determined that the other two data sets
also have some deficiencies in the
above criteria, but do represent similar
treatment trains used to establish the
chromium standards for K062 and P008.
The Agency emphasizes that none of
these ten data sets are as complete as
the data for either F006 or K062.
In considering the usefulness of the
two data sets that are more complete
than the others, the Agency examined
what treatment standards would have
been if they were derived from these
data. One data set (from Cyanokem)
would have resulted in a standard of
OB8 mg/l and another data set (using
only 10 of the more complete date points
from the HWTC) would have resulted in
a standard of 0J4 mg/L (Note; Both ars
based on TCLP analysis.)
However: the HWTC data contained
an additional-32 incomplete treatment
data-points (no untreated TCLP
analyses), many of which could not

Tie Agency points oat that the data
than Cynnokwn represented primarily
treatment of liquid wastes (some with
very high concentrations of chromium).
Some of the sludges generated from this
process did not require farther treatment
(La* stabilization). This same situation
occurred with the process used to
establish tha promulgated treatment
standards for K062 wastes, in that the
wastewater treatment process employed
for treating the combined HD62/D007
wastes was affective that the.
treatment sludges were not
characteristic for chromium and did not
require any fhrther stabilization. (Thus,

then the facility may analyze the sample

the amended toxicity characteristic, ft

(b) Wastewaters. In the November 2Z
198a proposed rale; the Agency
proponed a treatment standard for DOOB
wastewaters of OLM mg/1 based on a
transfer of the performance of

Agency's technical capabilities of the

compared to D008 wastewaters. In.
particular, the conuneatera pointed out

In particular. tha Agency received

that if the Agency decides to dsvetap

base the levels on the effluent guidelines
for the battery and nohfenoo* metals
categories. The Battery Council
submitted treatment data using the
following treatment technologies: Bme

In addition, .many coalmenters
suggested that the Agency not specify a
precipitant as a method of treatment for
DOOB wastewater*; Many commontea
suggest that particular precipitant* may
perform-better depending on the-
characteristics of the waste. For
example, Tricfl Environmental points
out that phosphate ia a superior
precipitant thisa carbonate or sulfate
because of the low solubffity of lead
phosphate: The Agency a&ees with the.
commenters and ia not promulgating a

(c) Lead Add Batteries. For lead add
batteries, the Agency Is promulgating a
standard of Thenaal recovery of lead
in secondaiy lead smelter* ptELBADf*
(See 1288^2 Tabla tin today's rule for a
detailed description of tha-technology
standard referred to by the five letter
technology coda In the parentheses.)
The Agency believes that virtually all of

the tnatars of lead add batteries an

Incidentally, the Agency notes that ;
lead add batteries thamag&ssi when
stored. are not considand-to be land
disposed because the battery is
considered to be a container (see 40 CFR
264314(d)(3)). Battery storage, however,
typically is subject to the subpart ]
storage standards (relating to secure
storage, secondary containment in tome
instances, and other requirements). See
subpart G of part 280.
Other commenters questioned
whether the slag or matte from recovery
processes would need farther treatment
and whether these wastes should be
placed in monofiOs. The residuals from
the recovery process are a new
treatability group (La. the residues are
not lead add batteries) and therefore
their statue aa prohibited or
nonprohibited is determined at the point
the residues are generated. Such
residues would thus only be prohibited
and therefore require further treatment
if they exhibit a characteristic. See
discussion of inorganic debris In sectfoa
nLA&a of today's rule.
(2) PllO, U144, U148, and U146
Wastes. The-Agency proposed
wastewater treatment standards for
lead for PllO, U144, U145, U148 based on
a transfer of the performance of
precipitation witn lime and sulfide,
filtration, and settling for K062
wastewaters. While these U and P codes
represent primarily organ o-Jead
compounds and one may consider that
the transfer from an Inorganic lead to an
organic lead is not feasible, no

the potential transfer of mercury and

felt that EPA had not properly

to quantify mercury emissions prior to
determining whether toasting or'

and sulfide wastes fte* K10B).
The Agency acknowledges tie
legitimacy of the commenters^conceros,
which the Agency shares. Th^gency
discussed the issue of air controls for
mercury retorting at 54 FR 4S&71. In
addition, the Agency provided
calculations in the administrative record
for the proposed rule of the potential
amounts of sulfur dioxide emissions to
the air that could result from die
retorting or roasting of mercury sulfide
wastes such as K108. based on available
performance data from a facility
thermally processing dzmabar ores. EPA
also included the document entitled.
"Review of National Emission
Standards (NESHAPS) for Mercury"
(EPA 450/3-64-014, ISM) in the ,

that basing the cat-offievel of "Higk

EPA had made for other recoverable
wastes such as H08L EPA'i data for
untreated mercary wastes being
retorted/roasted domestically show
minim tan concentrations of mercury op
to 235 mg/kg (for a mixture of K108 and
KD71 wastes).
Based on mesa comments, EPA is
revising the proposed cat-off level from
the proposed-16mg/kg to 280 mg/kg .
(rounded to two significant figures).
Although the new cat-off level is based
on tfaa available data In low mercury
concentrations of untreated mercury
wastes being retorted/roasted. EPA
points out that this new cut-off level of
280 mg/kg shuld not be deemed as a
relaxation of the standard or treatability
group. Instead, the new cat-off level
takes into account consistency in
identifying treatability groups and die
variability inherent to mercury sulfide
wastes, as documented by EPA's
thermal processing data of dnnabar
ores and the fact mat available data on .
these low levels of recoverable mercury

operated thermal recovery processes .

"pwSe purpose of this rule, mercury
nonwastewaters with mercury
concentrations equal to or above 280mg/
kg mercury belong to the High Mercary
Subcategory. Mercury nonwastewater
with mercury concentrations below the
280 mg/kg mercary belong to the Low
Mercury Subcategory.
(3) Standards far All Wastewaters.
EPA is promulgating a treatment
standard of 0430 mg/1 mercary for K108,
P085, and P092. This treatment standard
is based on the precipitation of mercary
from wastewaters identified as K071
from the chlor-alkali industry using
sulfide as the precipitant.
EPA acknowledger Aiif there may be
certain wastewaters tl&tatay require
combinations of other wastewater
treatment technologie»which may
include either additional treatment (for
the destruction or removal of oiganics)
or additional treatment by sulfide
precipitation and filtration for the
purpose of meeting today's treatment
standards. The use of other wastewater
treatment technologies are not
precluded by this rale. This,
determination seems to be supported by
the wwiwwwmwi of other commenteis
either with the proposed standards or
with EPA's da termination of BOAT for
merruxy wastewaters. "
Some commentate objected to EPA's
rationale to trenafw KOfl
performance data to K108. FOBS. P882.
U181, and D00B wastewaters. Among
thfiw commenters. "*"* believes the
proposed treatment standards are based
on performance data that may not take
into account other forms of mercury
constituents which can be less
amenable to sulfide treatment However,
tlii« rmmiwiiiw submitted no specific
data and thus failed to demonstrate that
combinations' of other wastewater
technologies are unable, to meet the.
standards.
Other commenters concurring with
EPA's identification of BOAT believe
EPA should base the treatment
standards on the Office of Water (OW)
performance data supporting the
treatment standards for multi-source
leechate. These commenters believe the
OW-performance data represent the
treatment of a more diverse universe of
K071 wastewater than the one tested by
EPA. These alternative performance
data result in a treatment standard of
ail mg/1 mercury.
The multi-source leachate treatment
performance data represent the.
treatment provided by sulfide chemical
precipitation to different characteristic
wastewaters that may include K071
wastewaters. EPA believes that the data
developed from treating the specific
mercary wastes is preferable to a
transfer of performance data. Moreover,
the commenters advocating the transfer
submitted no data and so Med to
demonstrate unachievability of the
standards or whether their wastes are
significantly different from the treated
wastewaters supporting the proposed
standards. The Agency is not convinced
by these comments and thus; is
promulgating treatment standards for
K108, FOBS, P092, and Ulfil as imposed.
For D009 wastewaters, EPA proposed
two regulatory options, One option was
to transfer KOTl's performance
treatment data and requires level of
treatment below the D008 characteristic
leveL The other option was to set a
treatment level at the characteristic
leveL For reasons dismissed in preamble
section IQIX, EPA is promulgating
treatment standards at the characteristic
level of 0l20 mg/1 mercary for D009
wastewaters es measured by TCLP.
(4) Standards for K106 and U151-
Nonwastewaters. EPA is promulgating
treatment standards for these two
wastes a* proposed (54 FR 48441).The
threshold for the-High and Low Mercury
Subcategories is revised, however, as
explained in section (2) above.
High Mercary Subcategory KM6 and
- U181 wastes are required to be treated
by retorting/roasting as a prerequisite
for land disposal. Residues from
retorting/roasting operations are not
prohibited from land disposal unless
they leach mercary above (L2 mg/l as
measured by the TCy (sea } 28&9 of
the final rale indicating that normally
any disposal of a waste exhibiting a
characteristic is prohibited). Data
indicate, however, thatresidues from
retorting these wastes do not leach
mercary at this leveL Residues
unacceptable for land disposal (Le„
above 0£ mg/1] are required to comply
with the appropriate standards for K106
or U151 wastes 0a. High or Low
Mercury Subcategory) presented below.
It Is impermissible to dilute a High
Mercary Subcategory waste to reduce
the mercury concentration to less than
280 mg/kg.
For K108 and UlSl nonwastewaters in
the "Low Mercury Subcategory" (Le*
less than 280 mg/kg) the Agency is
promulgating a treatment standard of
0025 mg/1 mercury as measured by the
TCLP leachate. This level is transferred
from add leaching data for K071
nonwastewaters. Residues from this
add leaching process must be evaluated
for mercary content to detenntoe
whether they should undergo roasting/
retorting. K108 and U151 "2r
nonwastewaters that contain less than
280 mg/kg and that also leach less than
(1025 mg/1 mercury (as measured In the
TCLP extract) ere considered to have
met the BDAT and can be land
disposed.
(5) Withdrawal of Proposed Revisions
to KOT1 Nonwastewaters. EPA proposed
that certain K071 nonwastewaters be
retorted or roasted (54 FR 48442). The
Chlorine Institute and generators of
K071 submitted to EPA
emphasizing that existing treatment
standards should not be revised. These
commenters pointed out that their K071
wastes currently being land disposed
already have low concentrations of
mercary (10 to 120 mg/kg mercury,
average) which EPA had deemed to
meet the requirement of 3004{m) of
HSWA. They believe then low mercury
concentrations are unattractive for
retorting/roasting operations. In
addition, they believe that retorting/
roasting may have not been
demonstrated for these K071 wastes
since the available data to EPA for the
retorting/roasting of K071 wastes
describe the treatment of untreated K071
wastes having low mercary
concentrations of up-to 255 mg/kg.
Although EPA believes these treated
forms of K071 can be treated by
retorting/roasting, EPA is not adopting
the proposed revisions to Kin wastes
because-their recydability is

Nonwoatawuters. EPA is promulgating
incineration as the treatment standard
far P06S and PUB nonwastewaters
followed by recovery or treatment of
mercury from the incineration treatment
residues if those residues are in the high
mercury subcategory. (As noted at
proposal, these orgsniMnsrcury wastes
are not directly amenable far recovery,
but most be pratreated to destroy
carbon-metal bonds (54 FR 48442).)
Incineration noowastewater residues
from these wastes that am above or
equal to 280 mg/kg are considered to
belong to the High Mercury Subcategory
and thus must be recovered by retorting
or roasting. Indneratioa wastewater
residues must meet the treatment level

Far the proposed rule the Agency had
no spedflo treatment data on RCRA
hazardous wastewaters or
nonwastewaters containing significant
quantities of selenium (54 FR 48433).
However, based on the similarities in
chemical behavior of arsenicroid
selenium, the Agency extrapolated the
treatment performance data for arsenic-
containing wastewaters and
nonwastewaters to the selenium-
cos taining wastewaters and
nonwastewaters. respectively.
(1) Standards for SeJeaium-Contaliung
Non wastewaters. The Agency believes
that fbir moat wastes containing high
concentrations of selenium, recovery of
selenium is feasible using recovery
technologies used by copper smelters
and copper refining operations. The
Agency does not have any performance
data for selenium recovery, but
information available to tha Agency
indicates that recovery of elemental
selenium out of certain types of scrap
material and other types of waste is
currently practiced in the United States.
The Agency requested comments and
data on the applicability of these, and
any other, recovery technologies for
wastes mwtaining selenium: however,
the Agency received no responses to
these issues.
The Hazardous Waste Treatment
Council (HWTC) submitted treatment
performance data for stabilization of
selenium wastes using proprietary
reagents to induce cementitious,
siliceous, and pozzolanic stabilization
reactions. One data set shows a D010
waste containing selenium
concentrations of 5 ppm total selenium
and £97 mg/1 in the TCLP extract
reduced to concentrations of &282 mg/1
in the TCLP extract The binder-to-
waste ratio was 1 to 1. Another data set
shows results for treatment of a mineral
processing waste believed to be a D010
waste bemuse of the high selenium
concentrations in the TCLP leachate.
The waste contains up to 7TXj$pm total
selenium and &74 mg/1 selenium in the
TCLP leachate. The treated residuals
leach between 1.60 and 0.154 mg/1
selenium based on TCLP methodology.
This waste also contains high
concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, and
lead. The binder to waste ratios varied
from 13 to
Data woe also submitted by the
HWTC for the stabilization of wastes
retaining selenium dioxide (U204] an
¦ahmhiin sulfide (U205). Data for
stabilization of the discarded pure
product show values of 30 and &05 mg/1
in the TCLP leachate for U204 and U205.
respectively. The binder-to-waste ratios
were 14 for each study. Data for
stabilization of spiked soil samples
containing 1000 ppm of the U204
compounds show values of 45J mg/1 in
dm unstabilized TCLP leachate and 2J38
mg/1 in the stabilized TCLP leachate.
Data for stabilization of spiked soil
samples containing 1000 ppm of the
U205 compounds show values of (X207
mg/1 in the unstabilized TCLP leachate
and 0-154 mg/1 in the TCLP leachate.
For the proposed rule, the Agency had
so stabilization data for selenium and
could not investigate the potential
problems in stabilization for high
concentrations of sfeleniuxn. The Agency
believed, based on selenium's chemical
similarities to arsenic, that the same
complications would occur (e.g^
increased leaching when using alkaline
binders). Therefore, the Agency
determined that vitrification was the
"best" technology for selenium wastes
-------
22874 Fodanl Rftgistav / VoL 53, No. 108 / Fttday. June 1,1990- / Roles ami Regulation*
and extrapolated the performance data
for vitrification of areeaWttflttlb
nonwastewatere and proposed thesame
concentration-based standard, &B mg/1
selenium as measured in the leachate
generated by the EP toxicity test (54 FR
48432). In a similar maimer, the Agency
proposed to transfer this concentration-
baaed treatment standard of &0 mg/1
selenium to P103, P114. U204, and U208
nonwastewaters. The Agency haa
received a comment Indicating that
selenium parallels the melting behavior
of arsenic and that the tranafer of
performance data was valid; however.
no performance data for the vitrification
of selenium woe submitted daring the
comment period.
EPA still believes that vitrification is
an applicable technology for treatment
of selenium wastes baaed on the history
of the commercial glass industry using
the metal as an additive and the melting
behavior of selenium, which is similar to
that of arsenic. However, unlike arsenic,
no known generators of selenium wastes
are investigating vitrification aa a
treatment technology. The Agency
continues to Relieve that most wastes
containing high levels of selenium are •
being recovered becauseof the high
market value of seteatam
(approximately SlOflO/pound).
The Agency has developed
performance standards based on
stabilization as BOAT since the only
treatment data submitted by
commenters, and available to the
Agency, were for the stabilization of
selenium. Because EPA has information
ImHftaHnfl rtlut mtM mntnlnlng Iriflli
concentrations of selenium are rarely
generated and land disposed, the
Agency does not believe that the pure
product and simulated wastes are
representative of wastes that would
require stabilization treatment but are
more representative of wastes that
should be recovered for thai sefenhnn
content Consequently. lBf£Rjjpluy is
not using any peribnniuwyjIWti far
treatment of these wasteatS&fc using
the performance data furj&tftlO waste
containing up to 700 ppmialaiikmr since,
this wqste contains more wileiilimi than
the other wastes and is believed to be
the most difficult to treat waste. Based"
on these data, the Agency has used an
analytical recovery of 88 percent to
calculate a corrected avenge,
concentration of (X80 mg/L Next
multiplying the corrected value by a
variability factor of 7.35 (calculated from
the same selenium treatability data)
gives a treatment standard of &7 mg/1
selenium in the TCLP leachate. The
Agency Is transferring the stabilization
performance bom D010 to PUB, P114,
U20C and U2dS because EPA beBaves
this waste to be most representative of
wastes requiring stabilization and not
recovery. •
Because this treatment standard (17
mg/1) is above the level of teachable
selenium that defines the waste aa D010
(L0 mg/1), DUO wastes that are
generated at a level between SJ'mg/l
and 14 mg/1 meet the treatment
standard but are stOTconsidered to be
hazardous wastes (assuming the TCLP
value exceeds 14 mg/1) and. therefore,
must be land, disposed in a subtitle C
facility.
(2) Standards for Selenium-Containing
Wastewaters. Based on the ttma.
manganese sulfate, and ferric
precipitation wastewater treatment data
used to calculate the proposed
standards far the arsenic wastewaters,
the Agency proposed a treatment
standard of 079 zpg/1 selenium for the
selenium in DOI0, P103, P114. U204. and "
U208 wastewaters (84 FR 48431). The
Agency also proposed a second option
of limiting the treatment standard far
D010 wastewaters to the characteristic
level of 14 mg/L
The Agency solicited comments
regarding the transfer of the amnio
performance data to selenium
wastewaters and specifically solicited
additional treatment data far
wastewaters containing treatable levels
of selenium that would classify the
wastewaters as DO10 prior to treatment
Although several commenters support
EPA's determination that arsenic and
selenhnn typically exist in aqueous
conditions as oxo-anions and do not
exhibit the catlonic behavior of other .
metals, they do not agree that all
setaiium and arsenic spedes can be
removed by the use of the same
treatment technology (L&, chemical •
precipitation).
One commenter sent treatment data
fawihmHng that pnwlpHalliiii of mlimliim
using ferric chloride at pH 74, calcium
hydroxide at pH 1X1. aluminum at pH
74k ferrous inn at pH 7A or
sulfide at pH&8 could not achieve the
level of QJ& mg/1 selenium. Another
pomiiuMhif ffnM that —Uoliim omiwi* be
removed from wastewaters using Bbmw
but can be removed by sulfide
treatment The commenter stated that
far the treatment to ba effective a pH of
less than 24 is required*
The Agency received information
about the treatment performance of
selenium removal using sulfide,
treatment This information indicates
that selenium can be reduced in
wastewaters to the characteristic level
(Le» 14 mg/1 selenium). Additionally,
the precipitate —elemental
selenium, which can be recovered and
sold for reose. Based on the new
'perfonnanca data the Agency Is
promulgating a treatment standard of 14
mg/1 selenium for the selenium in OO10,
P103, P114, U204, and U205 wastewaters.

proposed three options for treatment
One option was based on the Inherent

option proposed "Recovery aa a Method

standards for selenium nonwastewaters
and wastewaters (see preamble section ~

action because it believes that the

The Generator Survey indicates that
most thaffium nonwaatewater aj^re
characterized as inorganic saltensed as
reaeaiih chemicals, or ofT-speSfication
or out-dated materiala. The Agency
believes that due to the relatively high
economic valae of thalHum. generators
have an economic incentive to
investigate recovery options and source
reduction techniques. There may be
cases; however, at very low
concentrations and low waste volumes
when recovery may not be a viable
alternative for rtmHfam wastes. No
comments were received on the
proposed nonwastewater standard,
therefore, the Agency promulgating the
nonwastewater treatment standard

total cyanides and total chromium in

The treatment standards, for the
amenable and total cyanides inthe F019
wastewater and oonwastewaters an
based on the performance of alkaline
chlorination. The treatment standard for
the chromium in the P519 wastewater is
based on chromium reduction followed
by precipitation with lime and sulfide
and sludge dewatering. Treatment
standard for the chromium in the F010
nonwastewater is based on
stabilization..
hi the proposed rule, the Agency
solicited comments on two options. The
first option proposed concentration-
hnsitd twntiBut »fawiH«wh ftiriymliim
based on the performance data for wet
air oxidation (that is the 390 mg/kg and
20mg/kg for total and amenable
cyanides, respectively). The second
option proposed was to transfer the
concentration-based treatment
standards for cyanides based on the
performance of alVnlfn* chlorinatian for
F006-F009 (electroplating wastes) to
Ft)19 wastes (that Is the 590 mg/kg and
die 30 mg/kg for total and amenable
cyanides, respectively).
Based on a review of the comments,
the majority of the commentera
suggested that the Agency promulgate a
standard based on the 590 mg/kg limit
The commenters suggest that the ¦
electroplating wastes are similar to the
F019 waste becauae of die iron
concentration in the untreated wastes.
Therefore, die Agency is promulgating
cyanide standards based on a transfer
of the performance of the treatment
system for electroplating wastes. The
Agency believes that the transfer is
technically ^****^* hnrnum) of the
following reasons. First the Agency
believes, as stated in tbe Final Second
Third Rule, that these wastes contain
high concentration of iron complex
cyanides. The waste characterization
data for FOOO through FOOO indicate that
the Influent iron concentrations. In some
cases, an similar to tha.FD19 wastes
based on available waste
characterization data. Second, at the
time of the proposed rule, the only
relevant treatment data available to the
Agency to establish treatment standards
for these wastes wen the performance
of wet air oxidation of F019 wastes and
from the transferred performance of
alkaline chlorination for F006 through
F009 wastes. Hie Agency was reluctant
to use the wet air oxidation data to
develop treatment standards for FD19
because of the analytical discrepancies
in the Influent concentration of cyanides
of typical F019 wastes, suggesting
strongly that the wastes tnated wen
unrepresentative. Therefore, the Agency
solicited comments on the use $1 wet air
oxidation or any other technology used
to develop treatment standarduor F019
wastes. During the comment period, the
Agency received no treatment data and
many comments questioned whether
wet air oxidation is applicable
technology for these wastes or is
demonstrated on a full scale basis.
Therefore, die Agency's only alternative
in developing cyanide treatment
standards for the waste—given the lack
of any other data and absence of
comment—is to transfer the
performance of alkaline chlorination of
the electroplating wastes to the F019
wastes.
In addition, the Agency is
promulgating a treatment standard for
amenable cyanides in F019
nun waste waters based on the
reproducibility of the analytical method
for total cyanides. Details of the
calculation of .tha amenable cyanida
standards can bo found in tha
background document The Agency used
a similar procedun for developing
treatment standards for amenable
cyanides in F006-P012 wastes in the
Second Third Final Rule (see 54 FR
.28611),
The Agency is promulgating treatment
standards for total chromium in F019
wastewaters based on the performance
of chromium reduction, lime and sulfide
precipitation, and shidge dewatering for
K06Z wastewaters. The Agency believes
that this is a technically feasible
transfer due to tha influent total
chromium concentration of 7000 ppm for.

appropriate because they were not mom
difficult to treat than these constituents
(with boiling points ranging from 400 to

would ensure adequatajrqatnient of
these constituents. Finally, the Agency
believes that induration technologies
can effectively treat chlorinated
dibenxo-dioxins and fbrans based on the
results obtained from the Agency-
sponsoied incineration treatment test of
F024 wastes containing these
constituents.
Therefore, based on the above
considerations, the Agency is revising
the treatment standards promulgated on
June 23,1988 to specify Incineration as a
method of treatment for FTB4 wastes
(organic constituents only). If these
wastes an incinerated, the record
indicates that dloxins nn^ Airans, as
well as all of the other hazardous
constituents in the waste will be
substantially destroyed. To ensure that
Incineration is folly effective, die
Agency will also retain in the rule the
existing standards for organics
promulgated in the Second Third rule.
Tims, there will be no specific standard
for dioodns and fbrans in die rale, which
should alleviate the treatment industry's
reluctance to accept these waste. The
9 20&7 certification would refer to die
designated method for treating this
waste, and certify that the standards for
organic hazardous constituents (which
do not include dinxins and furans) have'
been satisfied. Standards for metals
would remain as numerical BmH*,
however. These standards are discussed
below. (Ordinarily the. Agency would
not alter a regulatory standard due to
industry recalcitrance. In this esse,
however.the dear existence of a'
problem, the AgencyYdesire to have
industry resume treatment of these
wastes (there was no capacity shortfall
until EPA promulgated the Second Third
treatment standard), and the statutory -
prohibitions on disposal and'storage
(which foreclose all legitimate waste
management options) have led EPA to
revise the treatment standard.)
Two commenters s£8mIHhat the
proposed treatment standards for metal
constituents may pree&tdftFD24 from
being accepted at comrtiwrdal
Incineration facilities. The Agency feels
that the treatment standards
from stabilization testing ofF024
incinerator ash appropriately reflect the
level of performence achievable via
stabilization for chromium, lead, and
nickel in F024. In addition, EPA has not
received treatment performance data
from the regulated community indicating
that the proposed treatment standards
cannot be met Therefore, the Agency
has no reason to believe that the
treatment standards proposed for
chromium, lead, and nickel in
nonwastewater forms of FQ24 cannot be
reliably met on a routine basis and is
not revising the proposed treatment
standards in today's rule.
One commsnter expressed concern
that other forms of incineration (La,
liquid and gas phase incineration) are
precluded from use in meeting the
treatment standards for organic
constituents in F024 if rotary kiln
incineration Is specified as BOAT.
Liquid injection indneratian and
fltddized bed incineration may provide
equivalent levels of treatment to rotary
kiln incineration and, therefore, may bis
considered equivalent BEAT
technologies for organic constituents in
liquid and solid forms of F024,
respectively. As Is the case for al'
concentration-based treatment
standards promulgated in the land
disposal restrictions program, the use of
othn treatment technologies that can
achieve the promulgated concentration-
based treatment standards in PQ24 is not
precluded by the second third rule (54
FR 28815). Nor is the incineration
standard specified as an alternative
treatment standard in today's rule based
on any particular type of incineration.
One commenter stated that the
treatment standards promulgated for the
nine volatile and semi volatile organic
constituents in nonwastewater forms of
FQ24 (54 FR 28615) were set below
practical quantitation limits (PQLs) and
should be revised. The commenter is
incorrect Hie treatment standards for
¦these nine organic constituents in
nonwastewater forms of F024 were
based on the detection limits of these
constituents achieved on P0Z4 residuals
analysed following the Agency-
sponsored incineration treatment test
The PQLs the commenter refers to woe
obtained from analyzing a non-F024
incinerator ash.
One commenter expressed concern
that the definition of PQ24 had been
revised to include watewaters. The
wastewater treatment standards
adopted for F024 are applicable to
wastewater residuals derived from die
treatment or leaching of nonwastewater
forms of F024 as defined in 40 CFR
2BL3L This does not include process
wastewaters from the production of
chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Detailed technical desaiptiona of the
Plpasnt Wastes.
(1) Naamutswaten. In the Second
Third Final Role (53 FR 26894, June 23,
1989), EPA promulgated treatment
standards of "No Land Disposal Based
oa No Generation" for K00S and KM?
wastes. In today's final rule, the Agency
is revoking these standards and is
promulgating numerical treatment
standards because a source wishing to
manufacture these pigments in the
future would be forced to apply for a
variance from the treatment standard
(40 GFR 288.44).
In the First Third Final Rale, EPA also
promulgated a standard of "No Land
Disposal Based on No Generation" for
KD04 and K008. EPA modified this
standard to apply only to certain newly
generated waste as part of the May 2,
1989, Final Rule (54 PR 18838). On
January 11,1989, EPA also proposed to
modify this designation to "No Land
Disposal Based on Recycling". During
the comment period for the Second
Third ftoposed Rule, EPA received
Information that the recycllnggiperation
nwrftiF consideration for
may involve a limited captive market for
the waste by-product therefore, not all
generators would be able to sell their
processed KD04 and KD08. AS a result,
EPA revoked the "No Land Disposal
Based on No Generation." standard In
the Second Third Final Rule (54 FR
28817) and la promulgating numerical
treatment standards for these wastes in
todays rah.
Partite K002, K003, ROM. K0Q5, K008

ronwastewaters, EPA is transferring the
performance of the treatment of
precipitation, sludge dewa taring, and.
filtration far K082 nonwastewateia to'
these wastes. The Agency believes that
these wastes are similar to K082
because the wastewaters from which
K08I shidge are derived are similar in
nature to the inorganic pigment
wastewaters (le* consisting of inorganic
constituents).
In the case of hydra ted K008
nonwastawaters, EPA is promulgating
treatment standards for this waste
baaed on a performance ai stabilization
of P008. The Agency believes that this is
a technically feasible transfer becai
of the chromium anA other

EPA Is promulgating treatment" -
standards for K022 (wastewaters only),
and all forms of K0Z5, K026, K035, and
K083. Treatment standards promulgated
today for KQ25 and K083, revoke the "No
Land Disposal Based on No Generation"
treatment standards promulgated on
August 8.1988 and modified on May 2.
1988. (See 53 FR 31187 and 31174
(August 17,1988) and 54 FR 1883d (May
2.1989).) A technical desoiption of
these five wastes can be found in the
Listing Background Documents for each
waste.
(1) Revisions to the Standards for
Wastewaters. EPA developed the
proposed treatment standards baaed an
the transfer of performance data from
wastes believed to be aa difficult to
treat as KD22, KD2S, K028, K03S, and
K083. The proposed treatment standards
for both wastewater and nonwastewater
forms of these five wastes, if applicable,
wen based on residues from
incineration. Several commenters urged
EPA to develop treatment standards for
the organics regulated in wastewaters
based on performance data resulting
from wastewater treatment
technologies. Specifically, commenters
urged EPA to adopt the same
performance data used by EPA in
developing treatment standards for
multi-source leachate. Other
commenters urged the Agency to use
performance data from the Office of
Water.
Aa stated in the Final Rule for Land
Disposal Restrictions for Second Third
Wastes (84 FR 28829) and reiterated in
the proposed rule for TMrd Third wastes
(54-ER 48390), when the Agency has
appropriate wastewater treatment data -
from well-designed and well-operated -
wastewater ireatment units, it prefers to
use these data rather then scrubber
water concentrations to develop
wastewater treatment standards.
Pn.mii—to— tf% rtia jwwpwail wiU tnr
First Third, Second Third and Third
Third wastes almost unanimously
supported the option of promulgating
wastewater treatment standards based
00 the performance of specific
wastewater treatment rather than
incinerator saubber water constituent'
levels. Upon review of all available data
and comments, the Agency agrees with
the oommeaters and U today
promulgating concentration-based
treatment standards based on
wastewatertreatmant data rather than •
saubber water for wastes that are '
proposed fat the Third Third role.
While the Agency did not specifically
identify the standardabased on
wastewater treatment-data as •
alternative* for F and K wastewaters,
the Agency believes that this is a logical
outgrowth of the notice and comment
process. Aa such, the Agency is today
modifying the concentration-based
treatment standards for KD22, K038, and
K083 wastewaters. However, EPA is
withdrawing the proposed
concentration-based treatment
standards for the K023 and K02&
wastewaters, EPA is instead
promulgating technology-based
treatment standards.
(2) Treatment Standards for K022
Wastewaters. The concentration-based
treatment standards promulgated today
for K022 are based on performance data
generated from one, or a combination of
two or more of the following BDAT
technologies: biological treatment,
steam stripping, carbon adsorption,
liquid extraction, and others. (See
Section IILA£.(3) of today's preamble
for a discussion of these performance
data for multi-source leachate.)
Treatment standards promulgated for
(chromium and nickel) in
wastewater forms of K022 are based on
chemical precipitation followed by
vacuum filtration of wastewaters
containing the metals of concern.
One commenter objected to EPA's
rationale for regulating chromium and
nickel in K022 wastewaters by relaying
on performance data from the treatment
of listed hazardous wastes that only
contained metals. Hie commenter
pointed out that EPA should rely on
performance data for metal-bearing
wastewater that also contain* organics.
According to the commenter^gjlis is
because K022 wastewaters are likely to
contain organics and the performance
data from which the Agency was
transferring standards lack organics.
The commenter believes organics could
interfere with tha treatment of chromium
and nickeL The commenter, however,
failed to provide data or information
that indicate that the proposed
treatment standards for could not
be achieved for K022 wastewaters. The
Agency stands by its rationale for
transferring performance data of metal
bearing wastewaters to K022
wastewaters.
EPA believes these organics exist at
low concentrations such that they would
not interfere with the treatment of
metals and that if they do exist at higher
concentrations, they can easily be
treated using chemical or wet air
oxidation fallowed by carbon
adsorption in order tn reduce their
potential interference with metals
treatment At the same time, these
organics would then be able to comply
with the K022 wastewater treatment
standards for organics promulgated in
today's rale. As an alternative, these
wastewaters (Le^ if they were even .
higher in concentration) could also be
Incinerated in order to comply with the-
organics standards and then treated for
metals. All three of these technologies
have-been demonstrated to treat similar
wastes containing both metals and
organics.

previous land disposal restriction rales);
and (4) additional wastewater treatment
data fnan literature articles on wet air
oxidation and powder activated caibon
treatment (PACT).
In the November 22.1988 notice, the
Agency proposed treatment standards
for organies in KD29, K088. and K098
wastewaters based on the transfer of
performance data from rotary kiln
incineration of K019 (heavy ends from
the distillation of ethylene dichloride in
ethytene.dfehloride production)
. aonwastewaters. Although no comments
were received on the proposed rate, the
treatment standards to reflecTartoal
treatment performance data for
wastewaters.
In the November 22.1969 notice, the
Agency proposed two sets of
wastewater treatment standards for tha
majority of U and P wastewaters for
which concentration-baaed standards
conld be estabHnhwi One set of
standards was based on Incinerator
scrubber waters while the alternate set
of standards was based on a transfer ol'
treatment performance data for
wastewaters containing these
constltuenta from the above mentioned
data sources. The reader is farther

As stated in tha Final Rule for Land
Disposal Restrictions for Second Third* -
Wastes (54 FR 28029) and reiterated in
the proposed rule for Third Third
Waates (94 FR 48390), when the Agency
has appropriate wastewater heatment
data from well-designed and well-
operated wastewater treatment units, it.
prefers to use these data rather than
incinerator scrubber water
concentrations to develop wastewater
treatment standards.
Commeaters to the proposed rale for
First Third. Second lUrd and Third
Third wastes almost unanimously
supported the options of promulgating
wastewater treatment standards based
«W1 [wtiiBMiinf nt
wastewater treatment rather than
incinerator scrubber water constituent
levels. Upon review of all available data,
and comments, tha Agency agrees with
the commenters and is today
promulgating concentration-based
treatment standards based on
wastewater treatment data rather than
scrubber water for wastes' that ware
proposed in the Third Third rale. While
the Agency did not specifically identify
the standards based on wastewater
treatment data as alternatives for F ana
K wastewaters, the Agency believes that
this is a logical outgrowth of the notice
and comment process. As such, the
Agency is today modifying the -
wastewater treatment standards for
K029, K094, and K098 wastes.
The Agency is also revoking the
'reserved' status for metals in K029,
K093 and K096 wastewaters. Existing
waste characterization data for
nonwastewaters indicates that these
three wastes are essentially all organic
and would not be expected to contain
any BDAT list metal constituents. No _
comments were received disputing the
Agency's conclusion.
Hie Agency Is also promulgating
treatment standards for metal
constituents in K028 nonwastewaters
based on the transfer of TCLRdata from
stabilization of FQ24 (wastes from the
production of chlorinated allnfatics
such as distillation residues, $Savy
ends, tars, and reactor clean-out)
wastes. As was stated in the November
22,1989 proposed rule (54 FR 48395), the
Agency transferred the metal standards
for K028 nonwastewaters based on
pmforniancB data from proposed
standards for F024. Several comments
however, were received on the metal
standards for F024 and subsequently
KQ28, stating that the metal standards
ware too low. Sea section IELA4.C. for a
discussion of these comments.
The Agency is however, promulgating
as proposed the concentration-based
treatment standards for metals In FQZ4
wastes. Consequently, tha Agency is
ni«r> promulgating tha treatment
standards for metals in K028
nonwastewaters as proposed.

The Agency is today promulgating
fihal treatment standards for
wastewater and nonwastewater fbnns
of K032.K033, K034.KM1. KD97 and
K0S8 wastes. The nonwastewater
treatment standards are based on
performance data from an EPA
incineration test bom that was
conducted in Jtmel9ffl. (The reader is
referred to the November 22,' 1989
proposed role for additional information
on the test bom (54 PR 483901).) No
comments were received on the
proposed standards for any of the
spedfie constituents of KD32, K033,
K034, KOtl. K097 or K098-
nonwastewatars. Therefore. EPA
assumes that generators of these wastes
agree with the Agency's assessment of
the treatability of these wastes and their
individual constituents. Details on the
selection of regoiated constituents and
the transfer of performance data for
these K wastes are provided in the
background document for these
halogenated pesticide wastes which can
be found in the RCRA docket -
In section BLA.L(h.l(B.) of the
proposed rale-tor Third Tliird wastes (54
PR 48390 (November 22,1S89)), the
Agency speciflcally.proposed two

and ThM'Thiad Wastes almost-
unanimously supported that EPA should
promulgate wastewater standards based
ogr tha performance at specific
wastewater treatment rather than
incinerator scrubber water constituent
levels. After revtewtag all available data
and comments, the Agency agrees with
the commuters, and is promulgating
concentration-based treatment
standards based on wastewater
treatment data rather than scrubber
water for K032, K033, K034. K041. K097
and K098 wastewaters. While the
Agency did not specifically identify the
standards based on wastewater
treatment data as alternatives for these
wastewaters, the Agency believes that
this is a logical outgrowth of the notice
and comment process.

technical development of the constituent

The Agency promulgated a treatment
standard of *TOo Land Disposal Based on
No Genoa don" for KD38
nonwastewaters in the First Third final
rule on August 8,1988 (53 FR 31174,
August 17,1988). EPA amended thia
standard on May 2.1989, to apply to
wastes generated from the process
described in the listing description and
disposed after August 17.1B68 (54 FR
18838). In the November 22,1989
proposed rule for Third Third wastes,
the Agency proposed a transfer of
concentration-based standards from
K037 nonwastewaters (based on the
performance of incineration in the First
Third final rule) to other forma of K038
nonwastewaters, such as K036 spill
residues. The basis of this transfer is the
similarity of these two wastes, and the
fact that Disulfoton, the regulated
constituent in K036, is a regulated
constituent in KQ37 as welL
The Agency promulgated
concentration- based treatment
standards for K037 wastewaters based
on incinerator scrubber wate&
concentration levels in the First Third
final rule. In the November 22fclS89
proposed rule for Third Thirt^yastes,
the Agency proposed to revtie this
standard to be consistent with the other
organophosphorus pesticide
wastewaters, for which concentration-
based standards based on biological
treatment were promulgated in the
Second Third final rule on June 23,1989.
The Agency stated that the
performance achievable by incineration
and'the performance of biological
treatment represent BDAT for
nonwastewater and wastewater forms,
respectively, of the organophosphorus
pesticides. Because the Agency received
no comments on this proposal, the
Agency is today promulgating
concentration-bawd treatment
standards for K038 nonwastewaters and
concentration-based treatment
standards for K037 wastewaters as
proposed. Therefore, the Agency is able
to promulgate concentration-based
treatment standards fan Disulfoton in
K036 nonwastewaters, and Disulfoton
and toluene in K037 nonwastewaters.
Standards applicable to
nonwastewaters are based on the
performance achieved by rotary kiln
incineration and the concentration of
organophosphorus pesticide measured
in the uli residuals. Standarda
applicable to wastewaters are based on
the performance achieved by biological
treatment and the concentration of .
organophosphorus pesticide measured
in the resultant effluent wastewaters.

wastewats treatment standards have
been modified bmn the proposed rule
and an being promulgated today based
oa a transfer of perfuunance data from
wastewater treatment.
In section IHAX(h](6) of the proposed
rale for Third Third wastes (54 PR 48380
(November 22.1889))* the Agency
specifically proposed two alternative
sets of concentration-based standards
for the majority of the U and P
wastewaters for which concentration-
based standards could be established.
One set of standards was based on tbe
concentration of constituents of concern
as measured hi incinerator scrubber
water while the alternate set of
standards was based on a transfer of
treatment performance data for
wastewaters from various data sources.
These alternative standards wen
presented In section DLAJ. of the
proposed Third Third rule (54 FK 48407)
as-treatment standards for wastewater,
bans of multi-source leachatfe but wen
specifically identified as alternative
standards for U and P wastewaters.
As stated in the Final Rale for Land- -
Disposal Restrictions for Second Third
Wastes (54 FR 28829) and reiterated in
the proposed rule for Third Third
Wastes (54 PR 48380), when the Agency
has appropriate,wastewater treatment -

opefsted'WHStowater treatment units, it
prefers^ tooise these data rather than

Tln ApMy received several. - -

These standards wen-listed for seven of'
the ooaanofrodxiamof PCBs known
originally by the tndaname of Arador
(La, the propseed standards-wen liated
foaAsedof 4018^.1221.12311242,124a
1254k and 1280). One commanter stated
thatan " l°"°l tn*
PCBs had been set and that the Agency
did not give a rationale for the level
selected. The commenter further urged
the Agency to set a treatment standard
at 50 ppm which is the regulated level
under both TSCA and the RCRA
California list provision. The Agency,
disagrees with the commenter. Under
HSWA. EPA has been given authority to
establish tnatment standards at levels
that minimize threats to human health
and the environment See S. Rept No.
284.98th Cong. 1st Sess. at 17. stating
that California list levels—which
include a 80 ppm PCB level—an only
wiw»w.iww starting points for establishing
treatment standards. (See also 55 FR
6840, Feb. 28.1980 explaining, that
current as to waste
toxicity and mobility warrant retention
of the BOAT approach.)
EPA noted in the November 22.1989
proposal (54 FR 48398). that untreated
K085 wastes contain a wide rang^ of
PCB concentrations, however if K$83
wastes exceed 50 ppm PCBs, thejSsuiat
be incinerated in a TSCA pennitfe^
facility (several of the commercial
facilities thatan permitted for RCRA
wastes an also permitted for PCB-
contaminated wastes under TSCA) as
well a» meeting the concentration-base*,
treatment standards being promulgated
today. EPAJielieves that this approach
is consistent with the statutory mandate.
Another commenter stated that the
proposed PCB conoentratkm-based
standard for KD88 was inappropriately
low because the presence of
hancfalorobennae or
pgntachlorobenzane at their K085
treatment standard concentration levels
interferes with proper performance of
SW-M8 Method 8080*3 Electron Captun
Detection instrumentation, and therefore
PCB-tevels in K085 cannot be routinely

fflATTREATMSIT STANDARDS FOR K089 ' KM7—Pink/red water TOT operators.
Today's rule revokes the "No Land
Disposal Based on Reactivity" treatment
standard for KM4, KD48, and K047
wastes and promulgates as proposed a
treatment standard of Deactivation".
The Agency is also promulgating a
noawastewater treatment standard for
lead in tha K048 Reactive Subcategory
as proposed (also see 54 FR 26607-408,
June 23,1989), based on the transfer of
performance data from the stabilization
of K048 nonreactive wastes. This
treatment standard is based on the
performance of deactivation for the
reactive wastewaters followed by
fllfcnHno precipitation, settling, and
filtration to form a nonreactive K046
nonwastewater that is then stabilized
for lead.
The Agency received several
comments indicating that the BDAT for
the K04B Reactive Subcategory should
be deactivation followed by
stabilization as opposed to just
stabilization. The Agency agrees with
the commenters and is therefore revising
BDAT as deactivation followed by
stabilization. In addition, many
commenters had questions on the
definition of deactivation. To clarify this
point the Agency is defining
deactivation for K044. K045, K046 and
K047 wastes to be the process of
removing the characteristic of reactivity,
by technologies such as incineration or
chemical oxidation. See 40 CFR part 268
appendix VI for a list of technologies
that used alone or in combination can
achieve this standard.
For all K046 wastewaters, the
treatment standard is based on the
performance of alkaline precipitation,
settling, and filtration. The Agency is
transferring the performance of this
treatment system from K062 wastes. The
K062 wastewaters are just as difficult to
. treat as the K048 wastewaters, based on
the concentration of lead in K062 (up to
212 ppm) which is the same or higher
than that which has been found in K048
wastewaters (up to 200 ppm).

Treatment standards for organic and
metal constituents in K048-koS2
wastewaters end cyanide in KM&-KDS2
nonwastewatera were promulgated on
August 8,1988 (53 FR 31159) and are not
amended by rulemaking.
Tha Agency has also decided to
reschedule these wastes to the third-
third and thus create a new prohibition
effective date for them. The legal
authority to take this action comes from
TSPAfs) • * * continuing authority to
reschedule wastes from one third of the
schedule to another.'* Chemical Waste
Management v. EPA, 889 P. 2d 1528 a2
(D.G Gr. 1989) (noting rescheduling of
the prohibition for multisource leachate
that had already talcan affect).
Notwithstanding this authority, the
Agency is not undertaking this
rescheduling casually. The determining
factor in EPA's view, is that even though
the wastes were prohibited in the first
third rule (and granted a two-year
national capacity variance), petroleum
industry members were in legitimate
doubt as to what the ultimate treatment
stendards would be and, to some extent
what the technological basis for the
standards would be.
In particular, the original standards'
promulgated by EPA were based on
treatment of some of the less
contaminated petroleum refining wastes.
Subsequent efforts to reexamine and
possibly amend tin promulgated
standards were delayed in part because
of dflinu ^wwi treatment
Industry regarding die equivalency of
performance of three-stage and five-
stage solvent extraction technology. The
petroleum refining industry itself
participated in research efforts
regarding treatment tests on some of the
more contaminated petroleum refining
wastes and generated some useful data
which was used in revising the
promulgated standards.
The result of this involved process is
that it could have been reasonably
unclear to a petroleum refinery whether
treatment standards could be achieved
using solvent extraction technology ana
type of BDAT technology. Such a facility
could have legitimately delayed its
Investment decision about what
treatment technology to use to comply
with the land disposal prohibitions.
Given this situation, the Agency
believes it is acting both reasonably and
legally in exercising Its authority to .
reschedule the wastes to the Third
Third.
The Agency has also determined that
there is Inadequate treatment capacity
for generated K048-K052 wastes. (See ¦
section QLB. below where the Agency Is
granting a national capacity variance for
K048-K052 wastes). The revised
standards for organic and metal
constituents in KM0-KOS2
nonwastewatera and for cyanide is
K04&-K052 wastewaters and tha
previouslypromulgated standards for
organic and metal constituents in KD48-
K082 wastewaters and cyanide in KD4fr>
K0S2 nonwastewatera will become
effective on November 8.1990 at the
completion of a six month national
KSK as part of tha Third Third rule.
Tha treatment standard fot cyanide in
wastewater forms of KDI8 K082is
promulgated as proposed. Treatment
standards for organic and metal
constituents in KD48-K082
noowastawaters have been revised as
described below.
During the public comment period, the
Agency received additional treatment
performance data for treatment of
organic and metal constituents in K048-
K0S2 nonwastewaters. Treatment
performance data were received from
four commentere. BP America, Exxon,
Amoco, and API. for stabilization of
metal constituents in K048-K052.
nonwastewaters from five refineries.
These data were obtained from
stabilization treatment tests of solvent
extraction raffinate. incinerator ash, and
incinerator combustion gas scrubber,
water solids using a variety of binders.
The Agency received additional
treatment performance data for C3*
Systems' solvent extraction system from
four comtnenters: CP Systems, ExSbn.
Shell, and APL These data were
obtained from solvent extraction^ -
treatment tests of organic constituents in
K048-K052 nonwastewaters from ten
refineries. Treatment performance data
for RCCs REST, solvent extraction
system were also submitted from two
cotnmenters for treatment of organic
constituents in K048-K052

In addition, the reading urged by API
would amount, asa practical matter, to
an end ran around thaao migration test
in sections 3004 (d^ (e), and (gj. The
result advocated by API would result in
partially treated wastes being disposed
of In units that had not satisfied the no
migration standard. This again is at
odds with the natural reading of the
statutory scheme which indicates only
two alternatives for disposing of
prohibited wastes: disposal in a no
migration unit or disposal after
satisfying the section 3004{m) standard.
Again, this appears to EPA to be the
vary result that Congress legislated
against*
The approach APT urges is also at
odds with the BOAT approach the
Agency has adopted to establish the*
section 3004(m) treatment standards. It
would also be at odds with the approach
EPA recently outlined that would cap

wastes are no longer hazardous. See 55
FR 6840 (Feb. 28,1980). The Agency thus
believes it far more reasonable to go
forward with its existing interpretation
which does not undermine its approach
to establishing treatment standards.
(This approach was recently upheld as
consistent with the statute in Hazardous
Waste Treatment Council y. BPArSBB P.
2d 358 (D.C. Or. 1989).)
In short EPA believes that it Is
reasonable to nad-the statute to require
that all pretreatment of prohibfted'

wastewaters. The Agency believed that
this was a technically feasible transfer
because the F007 through F009
wastewaters were more difficult to treat
as a result of the higher concentration of
cyanides. Since that time, the Agency
has reevaluated tha performance of
biological treatment for K060

waste biological treatment can achieve
similar treatment levels for low-
concentration cyanides similar to those
achieved by rlkaline chlorination.

Ia today's rule, the Agency is

Agency is promulgating wastewater'
treatment standards based on data'
received from the foundry industry. Tha
treatment standard is based on the : <
performance of precipitation with -
magnesium hydroxide and filtration for
wastewaters generated from a cupola
fomaca. The Agency believes that tha
performance of this treatment system
can acfaieva-tha-pramolgated treatment
standards for the othar metals
(cadmium, uliwimii-imii wHrket)
because of the metal hydroxide
solubilities.
Many commenters also suggested that
the Agency develop treatment standards
for this waste based on a transfer of
treatment data from the Effluent
Guidelines Point Source Category of the
Iron and Steel Manufactures. The
Agency disagrees with the commenters
ami does not believe that Effluent
Guidelines data represents a K061
wastewater. The data show low level of
metals in the waste and there is no
corresponding influent and effluent
concentration levels for the metals. EPA
therefore excluded this data ia the
development of the treatment standards.
Many commenters suggested that the
transfer of tha performance of treatment
for K062 was not an appropriate transfer
due to the chemical and physical
differences between the two wastfs, Le-,
pH of wastewaters, influent lead3
concentrations, and settling dlffeffaces
between hydroxides (K082) and $$des
(K061). The Agency disagrees wfth^he
commenters and believes that chemical
and physical differences between the
two wastes does not prevent treatment
to the same concentration leveL The
Agency believes that changes to the
treatment system such as the addition of
other precipitating agents to alter the pH
can aid in die performance of the
treatment system thereby achieving the
treatment standards.
In. addition the Agency received data
from generators of K061 wastewaters.
These data indicated that K061
wastewaters contained higher
concentration of lead than are. typically
found in K002 wastewaters. Therefore,
the Agency evaluated all of the
available wastewater data from
comment submissions and from the
Effluent Guidelines database. Data
Submitted by the foundry industry
indicated that lead concentrations can
be substantially reduced by
Relieves, that these treatment data better
represent tha-typical concentration of
lead found in K06L Therefore, tha
Agency Is using these data to develop a
numerical treatment standard for lead.
The calculation of the treatment
standard can be found in die Final
Addendum Background document for
K061 wastewaters..
EPA promulgated treatment standards

As stated in the Final Rule for Land
Disposal Restrictions for Second Third
Wastes (94 FR 28629) and reiterated in
the proposed rule for Third Third
Wastes (54 FR 48390). when the Agency
has appropriate wastewater treatment
data from well-designed and well*
operated wastewater treatment units, it
prefers to use these data rather than
scrubber water concentrations to
develop wastewater treatment
standards.
Commenters on the proposed First
Tttrd. Second Tliird, and Third Third
rules almost unanimously supported that.
EPA should promulgate wastewater
standards based on the performance of
specific wastewater treatment rather
than incinerator scrubber watn
constituent levels. After reviewing all _
available data and comments, the
Agency agrees with this comment and
Is promulgating concentration-based
treatment standards based on
wastewater treatment data rather than
scrubber water for all wastes that were
proposed in the rule for Third Third
Wastesi While the Agency did^ot
specifically identify the stand^ds based
on wastewater treatment data' as
alternatives for P and K wastewaters,
the Agency believes that this is a logical
outgrowth of the notice and comment
process^ As such, the Agency is today
modifying the-wastewater treatment
standards for K08&
The treatment standards promulgated .
today foroigah&s in wastewater forms
of K088, are based on performance data
generated from a combination of two or
mora of the following BOAT
technologies: Uologeal treatment
steam stripping* carbon adsorption,
liquid extraction^ and other. (See section
IILAA of today's preamble for a .
dlsnission of these performance data.)
These treatment standards-are
expressed as concentration-based
standards; however technologies
capable of reaching the standard are not
excluded from being used
Comments were received Indicating
detection limit discrepancies in
nonwaatewater forms that contain
| cydohexanone and methanol Based on
the available data. EPA believes that
cydohexanone and methanol may not
be amenable to quantification and a
concentration based treatment
standards may not be a viable
regulatory option. (See section llLAJ.a.)
Cydohexanone-and methanol are two
of several organic constituents that were ;
proposed for regulation in K088 wastes.
DuaHa complications in analysis for
these two constituents in
nonwasteweter treatment residues. EPA
is withdrawing cydohexanone and

Available data for cydohexanone and

3. Development of Treatment Standaidi
far UaadP Wastewater* and
Nanwxatewaters Excluding Metal Salts
and OrganometaHIcs
Today's rale promulgates treatment
standards for wastewater and
nonwastewater forms of U and P wastes
(as defined in 40 CFR 2&L33(e) and (f))
that are identical to treatment standards
for aultt-source leachata identified aa
F039 (sea section IILAA. for additional
discussion of treatment standards for
multi-source, leachate). 11ms, this ¦
section of die preamble presents a
discussion of tha development of these
standards. Treatment standards for
other U and P wastes that are listed
specifically as metal salts or organo-
metalHcs are discussed in previous
sections of today's rale. (Note:
Treatment standards for additional U
and P wastes "have already been
promulgated in S3 PR 31174 (August 17,
1988) and MFR28SM (Jane 23,1888)).
This section of the preamble alia
indudea a discussion of the promjfea ted
treatment standards for U and P States
that have been identified as poteS&Qy -
reactive, exist primarily as gases, or are
cyanogens. The ipedfic U and P waste
codes covered by the following
discussion are listed at the end of this
section in the table oI standards.
In tha proposed rule, EPA grouped all
of the U and-P wastes into various
treatability groups based on similarities
in elemental composition (e^, carbon,
halogens and metals} and tha presence
of key functional groups (eg, phenolics,
esters, and amines) within the structure
of the individual chemical. The Agency
has aleo accounted for physical and
chemical factors that are known to .
affect the selection of treatment
alternatives and to affect the
performance of the treatment such as
volatility and sotubtHty, when
developing these treatability groups. The
use of the chemical (" g , pesticides
pharmaceuticals) was also important in
establishing these poups. Emphasizing
the use of these chemicals allowed the
Agency to identify issues specific to
these groups of chemicals, to target
potential sources of data, and to solicit
m—and data from specific
industries and public interest groups.
While the Agency presented the
proposed treatment standards for U and
P wastes according to these treatability
groups, the promulgated treatment
standards are-presented to thi» section
according to the physical form (L&.
wastewaters and nonwastewaters) and
whether the treatment standards are
concentration-based or technology-
based. More information on the

In tha background document for U and P
wastes. While the background
documents for these waste in lbs
proposed tale were presented according
to treatability groups, only one
background docnmwit (in five volumes)
for these wastes exists for the final rale
and is presented similar to tha {allowing
discussion.
a. Concentration-based Standards tot
Specific Organics
The regulated constituents for the U -
and P wastes for wtrich the Agency is
standards generally are those specific
constituents for which the U and P
waste is listed (a* specified in 40 CFR
26133 (e) and (f)). However, for several
U and P wastes additional constituent*
have been selected for regulation for
various reasons. More detail on the
selection of regulated constituents can
be found in the proposed background
documents. The regulated constituents
for these wastes and tha promulgated
treatment standards are presented in die
tables at the end of each section. See
also treatment standards for FB39 in
section ULAA of today's rule.
(1) Wastewaters. As explained in
preamble section IILAX the Agency is-
adopting in this notice the definition of
wastewaters that was used to
promulgate treatment standards in tha
First and Second Third Baal rale* that
is. wastewaters are those wastes
containing less thsnl»TOC and lesa
' than 1% TS&. See also the general-'
discussion of the wastewater definition

than scrobber water concentrations to
develop wastewater treatment
standards. (This does not. however;
preclude tha Agency from establishing
treatment standards for other wastes
based on constituent concentrations in
incinerator saubber waters.) Also,
commentate unanimously requested that
the U or P.wastewater standards be
baaed on tha performance of biological

these mesons, the Agency has chosen to

section are based on scrubber water

were placed in the administrative
docket to the proposed rule and noticed
for wminwt-
Most at the aforementioned data
supported the acfatevability of EPA'a
preferred propuaed treetaei
(the alternate set of standards). Hie
Agency reviewed all of these data
during the comment period tode tannine
whether they could be considered best
demonstrated available technology. In
reviewing these data, the Agency also
considered the influent concentretioo of
tha treated constituent whether the
treated stream was representative of
that U and P wastewater, and hose
achievable the detection limit is in
similar or other matrices based on other
data received. Tin Agency hae revised
some of tha propoeed wastewater
standarda in this final rale based on
data received Just prior to proposal.
Commanters requested that the U end
P wastewater standards be baaed on the
performance of biological treatment
rather than wet air oxidation followed
by PACT. Where biological treatment
data were not available, the Agency
promulgated standarda as proposed
based on Office of Water data, or in
soma cases, used wastewater data
based on the performance of wet air
oxidation followed by PACT or
wastewater data generated by treaters
of Leachate.
Proposed standards were revised for a-
number of reasons: (1) Based on a
review of recently received multi-source
leachate wastewater data. (2) based on
a review of the recently completed wet
air oxidation/PACT study and 13) based
on a review of the existing data-used to
generate tha proposed standards and
comments received on the proposed '
standards. More detail on these?
revisions can be found on a constituent
basis in the background document for
these wastewaters. Where proposed
standards were inconsistently large
because of poor data availability, the
Agency reviewed alternate sources of
data to develop standards that are more
consistent with similar constituents but
still considered achievable by treatment
The following discussion explains in
mora detail the rationale for these
revisions to the piupoaed standards. The
constituents for whfeh standards were
changed from the proposed standards as
presented in section DLAJ. of the Third
Third proposed rule as treatment
standards for wastewater forms of ¦

table at the end of this section. This
table includes multf-source leachate

None of today's promulgated U and P

use any method of treatment to achieve
these standards, so long as it does not
constitute land disposal or
impermissible dihttion.
Many of the new wastewater data
lnchide analysis of composite samples ¦
rather than grab samples. Thua, tha
Agency has developed many of the
concentration-based treatment
standards based on an analysis of
composite samples rather than grab
samples. When data from analysts of
composite samples were used, the
Agency so indicates in die appropriate
table of treatment standards at 9 28843.
More information on the Agency*s use Of
grab and composite standards can be
found in tha preamble section HLA-1.
Hie Chemical Manufacturing
Association (CMA) calculated
wastewater treatment standards for
many constituents based on-data ' ;
contained in the OCPSP database tising
a modified BOAT Methodology, and ' -
submitted thdse suggested lfenitk to the -
Agency for review. EPA did not use the
CMA standards, bet did consider tha
OCPSF data bass, the analyses
condncted by EPA's Industrial
Technology Division, and the BOAT '
methodology. EPA's analysis differ*
from CMA's and sometimes produced
higher and lower Units. For example,
the standard suggested by CMA far
chlorofann in wastewaters is lower (La,
more stringent) than that promulgated
Consequently EPA is promulgating
treatment methods as standards, far

(2) Nonwaatewatars. EPA Is
promulgating nonwastewater
concentration-based standards far the
majority of U and P wastes as proposed
All promulgated concentration-based
standards reflect the performance of
wefl-designed and well-operated
incineration systems and were -
developed primarily using the remits of
fourteen incinerator test bans (not to be
confined with test bums carried out as
part of the RCRA permitting process)
which EPA undertook for this
development of treatment standards for
specific F and K wastes plus selected U
and P wastes.-Hie Agency reexamined
these data together with other data and
comments submitted daring the .
comment period. Based on thi» re-
analysis, tile Agency changed the
proposed treatment standards for
approximately seventy-five constituents.
These changes are mBuriTii in
tables at the end of this section.
These changes took the form of either
different numerical values for
concentration-based standards or
promulgating incineration as a; method -
of treatment for wastes for which EPA
had proposed concentration-based
standards. When the values of the
numerical standard changed.««—
promulgated standards are lower and
some are higher than the proposed
standards. In no case, did EPA . .
promulgate a concentration-based
standard for a waste code for whkh «
method of treatment was proposed
In the course of developing the.
proposed standards, the Agency had
examined the logistics of generating
incineration data, comparing relative
availability, jfiBHr
nonwastewater fuiiua
organic U and P waateoadWtEPA
decided to select a lingWfajfciber of U
and P waste code compounds • •
(representing the various classifications
Inherent to the structure of these
chemicals) for additional testing far two
test burns prior to the proposed rule;
These new data wen used in
conjunction with the data from dm
previous Jwelve test bums to develop
the proposed treatment standards for
the remaining untested wastes. The
compounds that were tested were
selected to represent the treatability of
each group of waste codes, based on
similarities in chemical structure La,
presence of key functional groups.
(indsdiDg
chlorine, sulfar. aid nitrogen), number
of Carbon atoms, aiTan^pniimt ami
number of aromatic and aliphatic rings,
isomer and homologue series, and
degree of chlorinatlan.
The two bums were designed such
that the physical forms, concentrations,
and soil content of the feed would
represent die range of U and P wastes as
EPA anticipates they will be generated
Hie treatability test consisted of two 0*
hour bums consisting of 11 liquids and 7
solids. Clean fill (1a, dirt) was added to
produce ash. representing that resulting
from incineration of a waste spilled on
soiL Four sample sets of ash and
scrubber water were analyzed fbr BOAT
list constituents. (More information on
the test bum can be found in the Onsito
Engineering Report Treatment
Technology Performance and Operation
for John Zink Company, October, 1989).
Through these incineration tests, EPA
demonstrated that incineration is BOAT
for a wide variety of U and P organic
compounds' halogennted, non-
halogenated vola tiles, semivola tiles,
and pesticides. EPA's evidence for this
is. that these compounds are present at
significant levels in untreated wastes
and then appear at or near detection
levels in the ash residues from these
tests. Thus, data from these incineration -
tests assumed a critical role in
developing concentration-based and
technology-based treatment standards
for nanwastewatets.
Detection Hmits represent the lowest
values of a contaminant that an
reliably measure in a particular matrix :
(e^. Incinerator ash). Detection Umitt
are especially significant in developing. 1
concentration-based standards-based on
incinerator performance because a well1
designed and well-operated incineration
system appears to reduce the
concentrations of virtually all of the
Investigated organic compounds to
detection limits. EPA treats the
detection limit as the quantitative,
expression of the post-treatment
concentration and therefore calculates'
concentration-based standards by
a Harming that the detection limit
represents the lowest-level to which
incineration can Iowa a cont&mihanfs' •
concentration.
Several sources of data received after
the proposed rule was published led
EPA to make the changes between the
proposed and final rules discussed In
the rest of this section. One source was
commenters' data, especially the
"Interlaboratory Ash Study" discussed
in the following section. Another source
was an in-house stndy by EPA's Office
of Research and Development pointing
out recently discovered major problem
in quantifying analytes for which EPA
had proposed concentration-baaed
standards. Additionally. EPA
reevaluated its own calculations and
modified several sets of standards to
ensure a consistent methodology.
Comments about the proposed '
concentration-based standards fell into
two groups: comments about treatment
standards- for individual waste codes
and one substantial comment from a
group of waste treatment industry
representatives dealing primarily with
the Issue of detection limits in
Incinerator ash. Thiscomment provided
EPA with a significant amount of ash
characterization data. Although some
aspects of this data were flawed EPA
considered this study carefully when
evaluating die standards before
promulgation; the Response to
Comments Background Document
presents EPA's critique of this- study's
strengths and weaknesses. Subsection
(1) of the following discussion ofc*
comments presents a detailed -gf
discussion of bow EPA eyahiatmiiie
common tar's ash data. Subaectftte^2)
describes all of the changes between the
proposed and final standards, and
subsection (3) discusses the other
significant comments received on the
-proposed concentration-based
standards and analytical issues.
(a) Use of the Interlaboratory Ash
Study. One commenter. representing the
waste treatment Industry, submitted a
study undertaken by several
laboratories associated with commercial
incineration facilities to verify whether
industry labs can reliably quantify the
regulated constituents at the level of
both the proposed and previously
promulgated concentration-based
standards In incinerator ash. The study's
secondary purpose was to identify those
regulated constituents for which
.coQcentration-based standards may be
'altogether inappropriate (Le* Inferring
that standards expressed as methods
are more appropriate). The commenter
analysed many RCRA-regulated
constituents, virtually all the organics on
the BOAT list In samples of incinerator
ash at levels near the concentration-
based standards. These data included
six detection limits reported by each of
six laboratories representing the
average of seven replicate detection
limit determinations made on a single
sample of ash km ftXOTOagrctel.......
incineration facility.
These data also lncluded six sets of
seven spike recoveries reported by the
six laboratories—42 recoveries in all for
each analyte. (Recoveries-represent the

EPA evahnted tBgyimTumteVs

flnt comparing these detection levels to
those obtained by EPA during its
various test bums. For most of these, the
commenter** detection levels {ell within
an order of magnitnde of EPA's
detection levels. As a result, EPA did
not raise concentration-bated standards
for those analytes where the.
commenter'a detection limits flail very
doseto those EPA achieved.
Consequently. EPA made several'sets
of changes between the proposed and
final standards following analysis of this
commenter's data. These changes '
primarily occurred whin EPA • ' •

suggested that the Agency regulate
benzyl alcohol and benzaldehyde,
hydrolysis products of benzal chloride,
as benzal chloride surrogates. The
commenter stated that EPA used
sumgates in regulating phthalates in the
Second Third rule. "However, the Agency
believes that this situation Is different
because there is no way to correlate and
codify how well the concentrations of
benzyl alcohol and benzylaldehyde In a
waste matrix reflect the concentration of
benzal chloride, especially in a waste
already containing substituted
KawMn—. Although the commenter did

since EPA received no specific
information demonstrating successful
measurement of bengal chloride. EPA is
promulgating incineration as a
technology-based standard for bengal

it should be noted that EPA is
promulgating, as proposed, the
concentration-based standard for benzal

looked only at aqueous matrices rather
than at the incinerator ash matrices
used to develop these nonwastewater
concentration-based standards, the
study documents such serious analytical
problems with several Third Thirds
analytes that EPA has chosen to
promulgate incineration as e treatment
standard rather than die proposed
concentration-based standards. These
analytes are:.Ul97, p-benzoquinone;
U132, hexachloropheae; U166, 1.4-
naphthoquinone: 17187,1-nephthytamine;
P082. N-nitrosodimethylamine; U184,

plus the leadiate components eremite,
benzene thiol, phthalic anhydride,
dfltenzofa^Ipyreae, tris (23-
dibromophosphate) and -
dibenzo(aJ)pyrene.
This study determined how reliably
these analytes can be quantified In
aqueous matrices by the
recoveries obtained and the precision
achieved over the course of multiple
analyses by several laboratories.
Statistical analysis indicated that the
recovery data-fig the analytes Bated
above were so unrealistically high or
low that EPA has declined to
recotnmgnd tha use Of SW-846 mntbods
3810/8270 Cor quantifying these analytes
in ground-water monitoring at RCRA-
pereritted facilities.
fw pwinljaHfij tlf flilwl final
rule, BPA chose to incorpaeate thia •
recommendation abort the severity of
the problems associated with.SW-8M -
ujgtaods mo/flgQ and therefore move
these anelytee into the category of those
compound* to be regulated with
technology-based standeida. The reason
for this decision Is that the stady
dncnmmta stgrifioant problems with
GC^MS (gas chroma tography/masa
spectrometry) whkh is the technique
used almost exclusively to quantify
organic compounds tn all environmental
samples and is the basis not only of
SW-MS82701 bet far most other SW-040
methods far organic analytes] which are
Hwiimmi to most methods need tn
quantify these compounds.
EPA makes one exception, however,
in the case of P020 (Dtnoseb), to its
decision to promulgate methods aa-
standards for those analytes
recommended for deletion from methods
3810 plus 8270 in this ORD study. Since
EPA has specific analytical data on the
incineration of Dinoseb and since the
data was of sufficient QA/QC EPA is
promutgetfng the concentration-based
Dtnoseb standerds es proposed.
In reviewing its own data. EPA also
determined that inadequate
documentation exists demonstrating the
successful quantification of U074, ds-
and trana-1.4-dicfclcro-Z-butene.
Considering this togetherwith the
problems hi quantifying these
compounds as a pair because their
widely different boiling points
complicate their behavior in the GC/MS
apparatus, EPA is promulgating
incineration as a method rather than the
proposed concentration-based standard.
These decisions affect leachate
standards as follows:
1. AO nonwastewater leachate
numbers will change as the
concentration-based-standard far that U
or P waste constituent change*.
2. Compounds identified in the study
as problem analytes by Method 36>will
be dropped from the list of wastewater

wastewaters.
. Just as for NQx emission with the
Organonitrogens category. EPA
considered defining "BOAT
incineration''for organosulfur as
including process controls to minimize
SOs emisdons. The proposed rule
solicited comment on several potential
technical problems and regulatory
issues anticipated to complicate the
incineration of organosul&r wastes (see
84 FR 48417, November .22aBg&The. "
issues all arise bom thegjegjadte
behavior of oxidized sri^S^ftnmdfc
some of which an reanlafisftadv the*
Clean Air Act as well as the noxious
odors of many of these organic sulfur
compounds. EPA specifically solicited
comments on three aspects of
incinerating organosulfur wastes: (l)
Information on incinerator feed stream
concentrations of sulfur demonstrated to
have been successfully incinerated; (2)
infoanation on incinerator HwHjn nnrf
operation—especially air pollution
control devices believed to meet the
requirements of the Clean Air Actunder
Section 10&110 and ill and under the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration
program's New Source Review; and (3)
comments on whether tor invoke the -
omnibus permitting requirements of
RCRA (final sentence of section 3005)
for units burning these wastes, or
alternatively, to prohibit burning these
wastes in combustion units without
appropriate air pollution controls.
As was the case with questions raised
in the proposed rule about incineration
of organoidtrogen wastes andNOx
emlsssions. several wrnimwiters urged
the Agency to leave responsibility for
air quality at hazardous waste treatment
facilities to the RCRA permitting process
under 40 CFR parts 284 and 270 and
consequmdy not to include air emissioir
controls in the land disposal restriction
regulations as part of the definition of
the treatment system. EPA received net '
data whatsoever characterizing SOx
emissions or emission control systems.
The RCRA permitting procedure
required Regional or State approval of
the entire incinerator system, htdnding '
process feed as well as air emission
control units. Additionally SO*
emissions are specifically limited by
Clean Air Act stationary source permit
requirements. Since both these permits
are issued ao an individual facility
basis, allowing individualized process
' controls, and since EPA tacks adequate
data to dictate realistic SOx control
system design in this reule, EPA agrees '
with these commenters and chooses not
to mandate air emission controls for
organosulfur incineration systems. At
this time, EPA believes that pennlt-by>
permit determinations under the RCRA
omnibus authority are moat appropriate
for units that may bun these wastes.
EPA intends to provide guidance to
permit writers with respect to facilities
burning these wastes.
EPA proposes treatment technologies
as standards for all eighteen of the
organosulfur wastes, partly because of
the difficulties in analyzing these
wastes. Oca commenter submitted a
package of data characterizing both -
chemical oxidation treatment namely
chlorine dioxide, as well as an
analytical-method for organosulfur ¦
wastes. However. EPA cannot develop
numerical treatment standards based on
this data because the method does not
quantify the individual U and P
organosulfur compounds nor. does it
differentiate regulated from unregulated
organosulfur compounds; the
commenter's analytical method gives a
"total organic sulfur** number which
EPA cannot use to develop standards
because it gives no indication how much
comes from U and P organosulfur
wastes in a mixture and how much of
this "total organic sulfur" numbertgimes
from nontoxic and unregulated
organosulfur compounds in the <
stream. Furthermore, thecomme
suggested method, chemicaf oxid
is already the treatment method
mandated as a standard for
organosulftir wastewaters.
(F) Miscellaneous Organic
Halogenated Wastes; As it did for
Organonitrogen Wastes and
Organosulfur Wastes, EPA requested
comments on the need for controlling
sulfur dioxide emissions in the course of
incinerating PQ28. P118, U020 and U062.
As discussed in the section on
organosulfur wastes, EPA received no
substantive comments on emission
controls used in incinerating
organosulfur compounds. Although EPA
is not building specifying emission
control systems into its definition of
BOAT for these wastes. EPA intends
that the issues of air emissions will be
dealt with on a permit-by-permit basis
through the section 3005Cc)(3] omnibus
permits authority..

22811
b. Technology-baaed Standard* fa» -
Specific Organic*
Aa explained in section HLAX(h)(2)
of the proposed rale CM PR 48387), the
Agency has determined, that far many U
and P wastes. aa well aflfar some P and
K wastes, several complications arise Id
terms of how reliably the primary
hazardous constituents can be
quantified. These complications formed
the basis of the Agency's decision to
promulgate technology-based BDAT
treatment standards (L&, a method (or
methods) of treatment) rather than
concentration-based constituent specific
standards for these wastaa.
The proposed rale set methods of
treatment as standards for a significant
fraction of Third Third U and P wastes.
In the course of evaluating information
received since the publication of the
proposed rule, information coming both
from comments about the proposed rule
and from internal EPA studies: and
reviews, EPA is promulgating methods
of treatment as the final treatment
standard for U and P wastes for which
EPA has proposed concentration-based
standard a. Tie reasons for this set of
changes are discussed In section
QLA£^a£ Since the standards had
originally been proposed a»
concentration-baaed standards, the
section on nonwastewaters with
concantration-basad-standards is the
appropriate place to discuss these;
In developing treatment standards for
the proposed role. EPA found that for
any particular hazardous constituent,
there are four categories of -
quantification complications: (1) There
are no methods, such as one in SW-848,
that are currently verified for the
quantification of the constituent of
interest in treatment residuals; (2)
calibration reagents (La, standard
solutions of known purity for validating
compliance with QA/QCprbceduresF Of
that chemical are not currently available
on the commercial market: (3) the-
chemical is unstabtejtenvatar and
immediately hydtoUBfBffft a differ eut *
entity (Lew it raactrfgt£tfrter); and (4}:
the U or P waste is nSgnpddfically listed
as a single chemical>tfuljt(6.g. POOT fr
listed aa "soluble cyanide sahk not
otherwise specified^. Chemical spedfic
complications were presented in the
appropriate section of the proposed rule
preamble that discussed the specific
treatability group where theUorP
chemical hair been classified.
The informietion EPA received after '
the proposed rule did not invalidate this
scheme for classifying analytical
problems, but it did add compounds into
the categories of "problem anatytes"
listed above which EPA had previously
nwnH'fifH amenable to quantification.
The main reason Is that incinerator ash
la a more problematic matrix for
quantification of organic analytes than
EPA had realized: elemental carbon and
silicon in ash absorb organic
constituents and bind them onto the ash
particle so that their true concentration
cannot be determined by Instrumental
analyses.
The Agency is promulgating certain
methods of treatment as the treatment
standard for many U and P wastewaters
and nonwastewaters. Generally, for U
and P nonwastewaters, this process is
relatively easy because incineration
processes are relatively Indiscriminate
In the destruction of organic* due to the
high temperatures, efficient mixing, and
consistent residence times available
from a well-designed and well-operated
incinerator. However, in .the case of
wastewater treatment technologies.,
there are more chemical specific factors
to consider such as: water solubility,
instability, molecular size, volatility,
elemental composition, and polarity of
die specific chemical that Is to be
treated. Other waste characteristics will
also effect the efficiency of treatment '
such as: total organic carbon, oil and
greases, total dissolved solids, total
suspended solids, pH. and alkalinity/ • •
acidity.
(1) Non wastewaters. The Agency is
promulgating the proposed technology-
baaed standards, namely, incineration . <
as a method of treatment-for the organic
U and P wastes determined to be;
¦ an quantifiable as proposed.
Additionally, for those unqnantiflable U .
and P waates containing only carbon,
hydrogen or oxygen, EPA is
promulgating fuel substitution as an
alternative to incineration. La the
previous section of the preamble, the
Agency Identified additional U and P.
wastes for which the proposed
concentration-based standards have .
been changed to technology-based
standards (to.. Incineration). The
technology has not changed, butthe
number of wastes to be regulated with '
incineration, or fuel substitution where
appropriate as a method ha» increased.
The Agency received numerous'
comments requesting that the methods
proposed aa the treatment stand&rd
include fuel substitution as a method of
treatment Commenters noted that many
organic U and P wastes'in the "not
amenable to quantification category",
such as cumene, have significant energy
. recovery value and are thus blended for
fuel substitution. One commenter further '
stated that without this change in the
standard, these wastes would require
incineration at a much greater expense.
The co ihmenter urged* the Agency to
allow fuel substitution for several
particularly flammable waste streams
which had been mixed with other
waates and comprised less than ten
percent of the ruulting mixture. The ten
percent cutoff was intended to prevent
the generation of add combustion
products.
The Agency agrees to allow fuel
substitution as a treatment method for
wastes not amenable to quantification
which contain only carbon, hydrogen or
oxygen in their molecular structure. In
terms of the treatability groups
Identified in the proposed rule, this
means fuel substitution is promulgated
hoe as an alternative method for these
groups: all "Aroma tics and Other
Hydrocarbons", all "Polynudear
Aroma tics", all "Oxygenated
Hydrocarbons and Heterocyclics" and -
those "Pharmaceutical" and "Phenolic"
compounds which do not contain
molecular constituents other than
carbon^ hydrogen or oxygen.
The Agency notes that this final rule
sets fuel substitution as an alternative
method for a larger set of wages than
did the proposed rule; fuel stif(|titution
waa proposed as an altemafpisto
incineration for "Oxygenated
Hydrocarbons and Heterocyclics" alone.
Additionally, several wastes in these
treatability groups have been added to
the category of wastes not amenable to
quantification since the proposed rule
and thus fuel substitution and
incineration is being promulgated as a
standard for these wastes for which the
Agency had proposed concentration-
based standards. These waates are:
U(»7, cyclohexanone; U168,1,4-
naphthoquinone; U197, p-benzoquinone;
and U201, resordnoL
In other words, EPA bans fud
substitution as an alternative to
incineration for all unquantifiable U and
P wastes- which contain halogens, sulfur
or nitrogen. Eliminating these wastes
removes the potential for unregulated
SO* NO, or halogen emissions from
boilers or other thermal combustion
facilities not yet regulated as types of
treatment units under 40 CFR 284. EPA
believes that wastes without halogens,
sulfur or nitrogen can be treated by fuel
substitution as well as by incineration
because the aromatic and aliphatic
(both saturated and unsaturated)
components of these wastes are
typically used as-fuel because of their
high heating value; and the oxygenated
and phenolic components are already
partially oxidized.
To summarize Unpromulgated rule
for nonwastewater forms of U and P
wastes no amenable to quantification:

proposed two alternative methods of
treatment as ti—fmont afandnrri for
these O and P wastewater treatability
group*. Ia all cases, the Agency believes
that incineration. while not always
practical liar waste waters, will provide
an efBcfant destruction, of these organic
U and P constituents ia wastewaters.

because tfaa procesa-actBally performs ¦

electricity and because the Agency has
data fa»«Hwi«wg jtaufhotfawuuai in
destroying cyanides aad other organic
species with complex bonds.
Since these technologies an known to
provide effective treatment far
constituents that can be analyzed, the
Agency is therefore promulgating,
oxidation methods followed by carbon
adsorption as alternative treatment
technologies for most of the organic U
and P constituents that requires
specified methods of treatment
None of these technologiea have been
specifically identified as better than the
ethers due to the current lack of data for
those constituents that are difficult to
analyze, or for any other surrogate/
indicator parameters. However, the
Agency Is currently investigating the
potential use of surrogates/indicators
that could be used in future nilemakings
to ensure complete destruction and to
determine which technology performs
best for these U and P constituents in
wastewaters.
For quite a Caw of the organic ana
some inorganic U and P wastes that
require specified methods of treatment,
concentration-baaed treatment
standards have not beat promulgated
because the compounds, are relatively,
unstable in wator. This instability
implies that they should easily be
destroyed with any chemical oxidant
(and most probably at ambfeQt
temperature'and air pressure).
Co mm eaters requested that EPA
allow biological treatment for all-U and
P wastewaters not regulated by
numerical standards. EPA rejects the "
use of biological treatmait far any of the
U and P wastes which cannot be
analytically quantified. Because faff""**
concentrations of thesa ccmpounds
cannot be measured* treatment unif
operator! cannot control the level*, of'
these compounds rtlttgkthe working
organisms in the bidftaprgf treatment '
unit or document tSScv&wastes an :
effectively biodegM^wkJterisk of
these wastes to a biological treatment '
unit includes the possibility of shock
loads that would disable the plant's -
working organisms, and allowing these
wastes to exit untreated In the effluent
until the biological treatmenfsystem
could be restored to woddng order.
Even the presence of an activated
carbon unit downstream from the
biological treatment unit an option EPA
had proposed, might not prevent high :
concentration* of the shock load
components from passing through the
entire treatment system with essentially .
no treatment A'shock load high enough
in organic components could push the
activated carbon unit to breakthrough,
sending the shock load components
untreated to land disposal.
Consequently. EPA is precluding the
us* of biological treatment as a sole
mechanism to achieve compliance with
BOAT. Btotreatmeat that is performed in
units prior to the use of a BOAT
technology or in otherwise exempted
units is not precluded from use by these
regulations.
Commenters suggested that JJPAdrop
the requirement that activated carbon
fellow chemical/wet air oxidation or
biological treatment EPA believes that
the promulgated treatmait standard
option of oxidation, electrolytic,
chemical or wet-air, followed by
activated carbon to superior to the
commenten' suggestions because
oxidation is more rugged than
biotreatment less easily disabled by a
refractory influent stream andjnore
easily restored to working order than a
biological treatment unit As discussed
in the proposed rule, wet-air oxidation Is
most appropriate for those wastewaters .
near tba wastewater cutoff Lovwl (La IX
TOC), while chemical oxidation -
effectively treats those wastes with
lower percentages of TOC EPA's
decision to require activated carban
following the oxidation step ensures a
backup system to compensate far the
uncertainty about final effluent
concentrations of these UandP wastes
inherent in any process treating
un quantifiable wastes. Most
importantly, however, since spent
activated carbon from treating these
wastewaters becomes a nonwastewater
form of these wastes (M FR 48384), and
thus must be incinerated according^ to
the promulgated nonwastewater
standard; requiring activated carbon
treatment ensures that both wastewater
aad nonwastewater forms of these
wastes-go to Incineration, a method
demonstrated to successfully treat a
wide variety of organic wastes.
EPA's response to commenters stating;
that requiring both-oxidation and carbon
absorption far these U and P
wastewaters puts an arbitrary and
heavy burden on those generators who
had been using biological treatment
alone or other simple methods of pre-
disposal treatment is that the volume of
these wastes generated is small enough
that arranging far the promulgated
treatmait process does not pose an
undue burden. Furthermore; some of-
these wastes are sufficiently refractory
that the oxidation-carbon adsorption •
sequence is necessary to ensure
consistent and complete treatment
. hi the proposed rule, EPA also
solicited data demonstrating the
feasibility of regulating TOC or COD
(chemical oxygen demand) as a
surrogate for these U and P
wastewaters: By setting a concentration-
based limit on the TOC or COD level of
a waste to be land-disposed, EPA would
necessarily limit the concentration of a t
organic toxio materials in that waste.
Commenters objected to this proposed
practice as unrealistic. No information
was submitted demonstrating that TOC
or COD could be reliable surrogates for
these unquantifiable organic
compounds. Consequently, EPA is not
promulgating the use of TOC as COD as
surrogates.
One coalmenter objected to the
method-based standard requiring
activated carbon following biological
treatment the commenter reported that
his plant routinely sent pharmaceutical
wastes to the facility's to-plant
industrial waste treatmait pliant and
stated that the activated-carbon
requirement was soperfluou^EPA has
removed the biological-treatagnt option
for wastewater farms of wajfn not .
amenable to quantification aS^ explains
this decision, fnchirifng the requirement
that the spent activated carbon be
incinerated, in the section OT.a.Sa (3).
For wastewater forms of organic U
and P wastes not amenable to
quantification: EPA is promulgating
"Incineration (INCIN) as the Method of
Treatment" or, alternatively, "Chemical
oxidation (CHOXD) or wet-airoxidation
(WETOX) followed by carbon
adsorption (CARBNV See 40 CFR 288.42

addition, there are no verified SW-84&
analytical methods for measuring P009

These analytical problems preclude -
setting concentration-baaed treatment
standards; consequently, the Agency
proposed "Thermal Destruction" (e.g«
incineration) as a required method of
treatment for the nonwastewater forma
of these U and P wastes (54 FR 48427).
The Agency, however, reconsidered the
treatment technologies applicable for

EPA continues to believe that
incineration is anapplicable technology
because data indicate that most of of
these wastes are currently incinerated
by commercial, as well as military
facilities. Additionally, since most these
wastes have high Btu values, EPA also
believes that these wastes (e.g*
hydrazine is used in rocket fbe!} ere
excellent candidates for fuel

has also determined that tBese wastes
can be chemically deactivated using
chemical oxidation and chmuioil

The Agency propoeed "Incineration or

methods of treatment for the
wastewater forms of this treatability
group. During the comment period, EPA
received information about the *
treatment capabilities of other
technologies and reevaluated the
technologies applicable for treatment of
wastewaters tn this treatability group.
EPA still believes that incineration is
applicable because it will destroy the
constituents present is the wastewaters..
Carbon adsorption is also applicable
because wastewater forms of these
wastes can easily be adsorbed due to
the branched whihf* nt their
structures. (It should be noted that after
adsorption (and before disposal) the
contaminated carbon must be treated in
compliance with the treatment standard
for nonwastewaters.) However, data has
also been provided that indicate that
some of theee wastewaters (L&, P088)
can be treated by ozone/ultraviolet light
oxidation; hence, the Agency believes
that chemical oxidation and chemical

technologies for wastes in this
treatability group as a result of .
information submitted in the cnmmentn.
One common tar specifically requested
that chemical oxidation be a method of

does not since both gases, when heated,
emit highly toxic oxides, either sulfur or
POX. The Agency agreeswith the
chemical reduction technologies are
applicable for treatment of wastes In
this treatability grasp.
The Agency-continues to believe that
incineration can be used to effectively
and safely treat these wastes. However,
because most of these wastes will-
contain high concentrations of sulfur
and phosphorous when discarded as off-
spec products, they will require aa part
ofthe treatment the use of air pollution
control equipment capable of controlling.
the emissions of phosphorous and sulfur
to acceptable levels (see the discussion
of this issue as it relates to organo-
nitrogens and organo-sulfurU and P
wastes in section mA&g.). EPA does
not believe that fuel substitution is
applicable for wastes in this treatability \
group because of the hnrafrfj associated
with the toxic gases I
generated.

quantities it places a large burden on
treatment facilities treating these wastes

require use of chemicals that will
precipitate a small portion of their total
waste volume to insoluble salts what
other chemicals may be more desirable
for.their specific treatment needs. EPA *
also believes that the individual facility

into the environment of any soluble
compounds generated as a result of
treating these compounds.
EPA has also reconsidered the
technologies proposed as BDAT as a
result of information submitted in the -
comments. One commenter submitted
information that incineration

believe that treatment using
technologies that usually require

treating such leachate. Reiterating
briefly. EPA reconsidered tlte approach

addition, it would be hante and mora

multi-source leadiate also exhibits a
hazardous waste characteristic under
the waste code carry-through approach
(see 54FR 40484). A further advantage
of establishing a separata waste coda
and separata treatment standards is that
it assores treatment nf all hazardous
constituents that may be present in the
multi-source leachate. a result less

with notice that the facility has
requested a change to its WAP (see 40 "
CFR 270.42(a)).
A few commenters suggested that tha
initial Hst of constitutents to be
analyzed should not be the entire BDAT
list* but rather, it should be a list of all
the constituents associated with all the
hazardous wastes that has been
disposed of in the land disposal unit.
Commenten suggested this approach is
particularly, appropriate for non-
commercial facilities that have stable
and well-defined waste streams that an
land disposed. Indeed, such an approach
is basicallya case of a generator
developing waste characterization
information based on his knowledge of
how the waste—in this case, leachate—.
waa generated. Tlie. Agency believea
this is a generally valid approach, and -
may be considered qn a site-spedfk
bads. As discussed in mora detail in
preamble section QLG^ however, in .
moat cases there is still a need for
corroborative testing.
The Agency believes that in order to
.assam compUanca with tha land '
disposal restrictions, the following
procedures should, be fbflowedby ¦ •
treatment storage; and disposal
facilities. First obtain an initial analyst*'
of all regulated constituents in F039. :
Based on the results of this ahalysisrand
any other information that should be
considered, develop a Hst of
constituents to be' analyzed on a regular
frequency. This testing scheme should,
be supplemented with perhaps less
fiequeut brdader analyses to make sore
thatdumgwji in the composition of the.
leachate undetected.
This approach is-suggested pending an-
opportunity fig; tha Agency .to prescribe,
the appropriate constituents for analysis
and testing frequency for the facility. It
is therefore recommended that interim¦'
status fadHtiee incorporate roch an '
approach Into die WAPs that they ,
maintain pursuant to 40 CFR 28843. ...
For both permitted and interim status

methods of treatment for any
constituent In other wosds, the
constituents oa the BDATUsfaarva aa
surrogates tar those const! tumtts that
may be present in the multi-source
leachate that cannot be adequately
analyzed. Several comments were
received that agreed with this decision.
Most of the multi-source leachate
nonwastswatar treatment standards are
based oa a direct transfer of U and P
nonwastswatar treatment standards.
Ifce remaining organic and metal
constituent treatment standards Car
multi-source leachate an baaed on
treatment performance data transferred
from D.F, and K wastes. For tha moat
part these treatment standards were
confirmed as being achievable by
performance data on the treatment of
multi-source leachate that were received
Just prior to proposal (that were placed
in the record for the proposed rule).
These data were analyzed by EPA
during the comment period, and were
available far public comment and reply
comment. The majority of these data
show no difficulty in achieving the
proposed mitt-source leachate
nonwastswatar standards, most of
which were based on incineration as
BOAT.
There were other data far a small
number of constituents, however, that
showed difficulty in meeting the
proposed standards. For example. the
Agency received data just prior to
proposal on the treatment of
nonwastewater forma of multi-source
leachate by sludge drying of a treatment
residue from biological treatment. Many
of these data supported the proposed
standards; however, detection limits
reported for some constituents in
nonwastewater lwachata indicated that
treatment standards based on detection
limit data from an incinerator ash
matrix ouy not be routinely achievable.
Therefore, data from the
leachate matrix were usedfeialcalate
today's revised nonwafi^R&V
HifuHhwnt treatment standartttfar
and methyl parathion.
Most of the wastewater constituent
treatment standards were tnns£snad
from treatment data developed far
various other EPA regulatory programs,
and are based oa data from numerous
sources. (Ibese data apply to the
development of treatment standards far
other wastewaters besides multi-source
leachata, Further discussion of these .
data Is presented In preamble section .
MAS.) Additional data were reviewed
during the periocL including
data from a recently-completed EPA •
study of wastewater treatment by wet
air oxidation fallowed by PACT or
activated carbon, as well as additional
performance data from the treatment of
multi-source leachate wastewaters
which were received Just prior to
publication of the proposed rule. (These
data woe placed in the record for the
proposed ride for public comment)
Commanters stated that wastewater
. standards should not be based on wet
air oxidation followed by PACT nor on
scrubber water constituent
concentrations. The commenters
recommended that the Agency base the
wastewater constituent standards on
biological treatment performance data.
The Agency agrees with the commenters
that treatment standards normally
should be based on wastewater
treatment data rather than constituent
concentrations in incinerator scrubber
water. Therefore wbeuem the
biological treatment performance data
demonstrated substantial treatment and
met BDATQA/QC requirements, they
were used to set today's revised
wastewater constituent treatment
standarda.
Generally, data on wet air oxidation
followed by PACT supported the.
proposed wastewater constituent
treatment standards.' In addition, most
of the treatment data oa mufti source
leachata wastewaters show no problems
achieving tha proposed standards.
Whenever multi-source leachate
treatment data showed difficulty

As explained at MFR 20602 (June 23.
1888), EPA views any mixing of
prohibited First Third wastes with
leachate that occurs after the date of the
stay order to be intentional mixing for
the purpose of avoiding a First Third
rale treatment standard. Certainly, any
such mixing that occurs miw over 18
months after adopting the First Third
rule oould be avoided and should not
insulate tha First Third waste from
meeting tha treatment standards. EPA in
fact intends to move Jointly with the
petitioners in the case to lift this portion
of the stay order. Until the order is
lifted, however. EPA reiterates that any

If the contaminated soil and debris
cannot be treated to meet the
promulgated treatment standards,
alternative treatment standards can be
established under a site-spediic
variance from the treatment standards
(see S3 FX 312ZL August 17.1988) or a
full-scale variance (40 CFR 288.44).
Categorizing such contaminated soil and
debris acconting to type, volume, form,
and contaminant concentration poses
several problems best resolved on a
site-specific basis. In order to be granted
a site-specific variance from the
treatment standard, the petitioner must -
demonstrate to- the Agency that because
the physical (or chemical) properties of
the waste differs significandy from the
waste analyzed fat developing the
treatment standard, the waste cannot be
treated to specified levels or by the
specified methods (see 40 CFFf288.44).
At proposal EPA soHdtedcfbmment

contaminated with a listed hazardous
waste (54 PR 48489). The.problem
potentially arises because scrap metal

constitutents present in a listed waste.
The Agency proposed that such scrap
metaLwouid not have to meet the .
treatment standard for the listed
hazardous waste if It was unavoidably
contaminated and the Hated waste had
been removed by rinsing or other . .

addition, it may be possible to remove
common constituents to thelevel found
in unadulterated scrap mateE In this
way. the applicant could show
compliance with as much of the
treatment standard for the listed waste
as is readily demonstrable.) As the
Agency studies the whole Issue of
treatment standards for debris further, it
may prove that such situations can be
dealt with by rale, rather than on a case-
by-case basis. At present however, EPA
believes that an individualized approach
is preferable.
A Radioactive Mixed Waste
Radioactive mixed wastes are those
wastes that satisfy die definition of
radioactive waste subject to die Atomic
Energy Act (AEA) that also contain
waate that is either listed as a
hazardous waste in subpart D of 40 CFR
part 201. or that exhibits any of the
hazardous waste characteristics
identified i& subpart C of 40 CFR part
281. On July 3,1986 (31FR 4504). EPA
determined that the hazardous portions
of mixed wastes are subject to the
RCRA regulations. This created a dual
regulatory framework for mixed wastet
because the hazardous component is
regulated under RCRA, and the
radioactive component is regulated'
under the AEA.
Statutorily and administratively,
management of the radioactive
component of mixed wastes differs from
that of the RCRA hazardous component
Although EPA may develop ambient'
health and environmental standards for
the RCRA hazardous component the
specific standards for radioactive
material management developed under
the AEA are administered by die
Department of Energy (DOE) for
government owned facilities, imd by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
for commercially ownetCfiggtiBs.
Since the hazardous pe3£a?of the
mixed waste are subjecti<CRA. the -
land disposal restrictious! jjjjbiy to- such
waste. This means thattJSMKRA
hazardous portion of aH mixed waste
must meet the appropriate treatment
standards for all applicable waste codes
before land disposal.
There are a number of potential '•
problems presented by applying the land
disposal restrictions to mixed waste
relating to technical achievability of aO
of the proposed standards, as ww as to
whether treatment standards can be
achieved consistently with requirements
imposed pursuant to the AEA. These
problems may be resolved by
establishing spedfic treatment
standards for certain mixed waste, as
the Agency has done in this final nils. In
addition, rite speriflc variances from the
treatment standard (40 GPR 288.44) may
be used to resolve such problems. If the .
treatment technologies determined to .
represent BDAT (and used to establish
the treatment standards) are
"inappropriate" due to the radioactive
hazard of a mixed waste (Le» requiring
a different technology design), a
demonstration may be made to this
effectin a petition to the Agency for a
site-specific variance from the
promulgated treatment standard If such
a variance is granted, alternative
treatment standards would be
estabUshed (for the mixed waste at die
site) that must be met prior to land
disposal.
a> Characterization and Industries
Affected
Based on information provided by
generators of mixed wastes, the majority
of mixed wastes can be divided into
three categories based on the
radioactive component of die waste: (1)
Low-level wastes. (2) transuranic (TRU)
wastes, and (3) high-level wastes. Low-
level wastes include radioactive waste
that is not classified as spent-fuel from -
commercial nudearpower plants, or
defense high-level radioactive waste
from producing weapons. TRU wastes-
are those wastes containing elements '
with atomic numbers greater than 93.
the atomic number for uranium. These
wastes'generally pose mate
radioactivity hazards than the low-level
wastes because they contain long-lived
alpha radiation emitters. High-level
radioactive wastes are defined as spent
fuel from commercial nuclear power
plants* and defense high-level
radioactive waste from the production
•of weapons.
Mixed low-level wastes may be
generated in several ways. For example,
medioal diagnostic procedures use -
scintillation fluids mat contain-small
amounts of radioactivity in toodc organic
solvents (e«. xylene tad toluene). -
These solvents generally pose a jpsater
chemical hazard than does the Ipw-laval
radioactivity. The principal generators
of low-level mixed wastes are nuclear
power plants, DOE academic, and
medical institutions.
One commenter submitted a list of
substances generated at commercial
nuclear power plants that may be
classified as low-level mixedwastea.
This included a wide variety of liquid .
organic wastes such as spent" solvents
containing suspended or dissolved
radionuclides, scintillation cocktails,.'
spent freonuaed for cleaning protective
garments, acetone o? solvents used for
dimirtng pipes or other equipment and
still bottoms from the distillation of
fraoa. Also, the Ust induded a wide
variety of solid materials such as spent
ion-exchange resins (contaminated with
various metals), filters used fat
reclaiming freon, adsorbents, residues
from the cleanup of spills, lead shields,
lead-lined containers, welding rods, and
batteries.
Military weapons production involves
the generation of large amounts of
wastes that can fall into the low-level
and TRU categories of mixed waste.
These wastes are similar in form, but
TRU waste is considered by government
regulators to be more dangerous
because of the alpha radiation emitters.
High-level mixed wastes are
extremely dangerous to handle due to
their high level of radioactivity. He
DOE la responsible for the storage and
disposal of all the nation's high-level
" mixed wastes. High-level wastes are
defined aa the waste resulting from the
reprocessing of irradiated fuel roda from
commercial and military nuclear
reactors. This reprocessing Involve* the
handling of materials that are exttapely -
hot both thermally and radiologi(£tj|p.
One of the reprocessing steps involves
dissolving the fuel rods in a nitric add
bath so that plutonium-239 and tritium
can be recovered. It la the high-level
waate generated from this reprocessing
that is considered mixed waste and
' which requires treatment DOE has
indicated that this high-level waste is
EP-toxic for several metals. Including
lead (D008), silver (D011), chromium
(D007), barium (D005), and mercury
(D009), and may also exhibit the
characteristic of corrosivity (D002).
b. Applicable Technologies
The Agency believes that for
treatment of metals in low-level mixed
wastes and for some TRU mixed wastes
containing low radioactive components,
chemical predpitatlon will remove the
metals In wastewaters, and stabilization
technologies will reduce the teachability
of the metal constituents in
nonwaatewater matrices. These are the
same technologies that are applicable to
nonradioactive wastes containing
metals.
DOB submitted data demonstrating
the applicability of stabilization as a.
treatment technology for. the low-level
waste fractions that are separated from
the high-level waste generated during
the raproramahig of fuel rods. As used by
one particular facility, a stabilization

the liquid low-level waste fraction. The
material sets up as a solid mass,
immobilizing the waste. The
performance data indicate that
stabilization provides immobilization of
the characteristic metal constituents and
radioactive contaminants for this low-
icvel radioactive waste, and that it is
possible to stabilize the RCRA
hazardous portions (o meet the
'.."eatrnent levels for the characterise
cr.5tals.
For organic low-ievei mixed wastes,
tr.e Agency believes that incineration i3
an applicable technology for organic
compounds in both wastewater and
acnwastewater matrices, and that
technologies such as carbon adsorption
cjt. achieve removal of organics in
wastewaters where incineration is not
practical. DOE has submitted
information indicating that plans are in
place to begin incineration of a D001
ignitable liquid mixed waste containing
benzene. Incineration is aiso an
applicable technology for D001 Ignitable
Liquids Subcategory nonradioactive
wastes. Therefore, this particular mixed
v. aste. if incinerated, would meet the
treatment standard for D001 Ignitable
Liquids Subcategory.
For TRU mixed wastes with
considerable radioactive components,
and for high-level wastes. EPA believes
that vitrification i9 an applicable
technology for treatment of both organic
and inorganic constituents. DOE
provided information to support that
vitrification is an applicable technology
for their high-level wastes generated
from the reprocessing of fuel rods.
Treatment can be accomplished by "
using either direct vitrification or a more
complex treatment process which
includes a series of chemical steps that
separate the low-level radioactive waste
fractions from the high-level radioactive
w-*ste. The high-level radioactive
portion is then vitrified. When using
separation technologies such as
precipitation followed by settling or
filtration, the bulk of the radioactivity
can be incorporated into a high-level
liquid waste containing up to 99 percent
of the radioactivity of the original
irradiated fuel rods. By separating high-
level and low-level mixed wastes, the
amount of high-level waste that may
require vitrification treatment can be
reduced.
DOE submitted specific data on how
vitrification will be used to treat high-
level mixed waste. As used in the
facility design, the vitrification process
will incorporate the high-level mixed
waste into a glass matrix achieving a
reduction in the mobility of its RCRA .
hazardous and radioactive constituents.
The waste will enter the vitrification
system as a slurry (i.e.. a blend of solid
particles in.a liquid base). The mixture
will be pumped into a glass melter and
heated so that the water is evaporated
and the solid glass and waste particles
melt and blend. After the mixture has
been converted into molten glass, it will
be poured into protective stainless steel
canisters, where it will harden to form
.borosilicate glass. The canisters will
then be capped and decontaminated and
e second cap will be welded into place,
forming an additional 3eaL
c. Determination of BDAT for Certain
Mixed Wastes
In many cases, current practice or
planned treatment will achieve the
promulgated treatment standards for the
RCRA hazardous wastes. For example.
DOE generates radioactive zirconium
fines that are pyrophoric under 40 CFR
261.21(a)(2) (i.e.. that cause fire through
friction). Consequently, the RCRA
hazardous portion of this mixed waste is
considered a characteristic ignitable
waste included under the D001 Reactive '
Ignitable Subcategory by EPA. The
Agency is promulgating "Deactivation
as a Method of Treatment" as the
treatment standard for D001 Ignitable
Reactives Subcategory. The DOE
submitted data which Indicate that this
waste can be stabilized to remove the
characteristic, thereby achieving the
treatment standard.
(1) Treatment Standards for Mixed
Wastes Not Otherwise Subcategorized.
The Agency is reiterating that as of the
effective date of today's rule, all
promulgated treatment standards for
RCRA listed and characteristic wastes
apply to the RCRA hazardous portion of
mixed radioactive (high-level. TRU. and
low-level) wastes, unless EPA has
specifically established a separate
treatability group for a specific category
of mixed waste. In other words, unless
specifically noted in SS 288.41,288.42, or
288.43 of today's rule, the standards'
located in these sections apply to all
mixed wastes. (All alternative standards
that are specifically discussed later in
this section of the preamble that apply
only to specific mixed wastes are
identified in $ 288.42 Table 3 of today's
rule.) All handling requirements for
radioactive materials set forth by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission muBt
also be met
(2) Treatment Standards for Specific
High-Level Wastes. For most
characteristic metal wastes, the Agency
has determined that conventional
stabilization is BDAT, and has
developed treatment standards using
stabilization performance data. The
Agency does not believe, however, that
stabilization using cementitious binders
is an appropriate treatment for high-
level radioactive mixed wastes
generated specifically during the
reprocessing of fuel rods. Such mixed
wastes exhibit the characteristic of
toxicity for certain RCRA hazardous
rr.etals (lead, chromium, barium,
mercury. 3nd silver). While statu iizrUion
would reduce the leaching potential of
the characteristic metals, it would not
provide treatment of the high-level
radioactive portion of the mixed waste.
The Agency provided notice in the
proposed rule (54 FR 48492) that DOE
was providing lo the Agency treatment
data for mixed waste. These data were
received and placed in the docket for
the proposed rule and were available
djring ihe comment period for notice
and public comment. The Agency
analyzed these data and performed a
subsequent site visit to the vitrification
unit to assess the treatment process.
Based upon these data and the site visit,
the Agency has concluded that
vitrification will provide effective
immobilization of the inorganic
constituents (i.e.. both radioactive and
RCRA hazardous) in high-level mixed
waste generated during the reprocessing
of fuel rods. The Agency is heretfy
specifying that vitrification is BDAT for
these wastes.
The Agency lacks, however,
performance data upon which to base a
concentration-based standard for this
mixed waste. Additionally, the Agency
believes that the potential hazards
associated with exposure to
radioactivity during analysis of this
high-level mixed waste preclude setting
a concentration-based treatment
standard. For these reasons, the Agency
is promulgating "Vitrification of High
Level Radioactive Waste as a Method of
Treatment" as the treatment standard
for the high-level fraction of the mixed
waste generated during the reprocessing
of fuel rods exhibiting the
characteristics of corrosivity (D002) and
toxicity for metals (D004-D011). (See
§ 268.42 Table 1 in today's rule for a
detailed description of die technology
standard referred to by the five letter
technology code in the parentheses.)

(3) Treatment Standards for D008
Radioactive Lead Solids. The Agency
proposed to develop a subcategory
within the D008 wastes and to establish
separate treatment standards'for
specific radioactive lead solids (54 FR
48439). These lead soiids were proposed
to include, but not be limited to, all
forms of lead shieldir.^, lead "pi.^s", and
other elemental forms of lead. The
proposed treatment standard fu: these
wastes was "Surface Deactivation or
Removal of Radioactive Lead Portions
Followed by Encapsulation; or Direct
Encapsulation as Methods of
Treatment"
The Agency received comments
requesting that the Agency clarify what
would be included in "lead solids" for
p-j-poses of meetirg ihis treatment
standard. To clarify this point, today's
treatment standard applies to all forms
of radioactive mixed waste containing
elemental lead (including discarded
equipment containing elemental lead
that served a personnel- or equipment-
shielding purpose prior to becoming a
RCRA hazardous waste). These lead
solids do not include treatment residuals
such as hydroxide sludges, other
wastewater treatment residuals, or
.incinerator ash that cen undergo
conventional pozzolanic stabilization,
nor do they include organo-lead
materials that can be incinerated and
then stabilized as ash.
One commenter challenged the
Agency's proposed approach, stating
that the proposed method that included
Surface Deactivation" was not based
oi»-a demonstrated, available- -
technology. The Agency has information
indicating that the lead surface of a
shield can be decontaminated using a
number of commercially available
processes. The Agency agrees, however,
that these processes have not been
adequately investigated to determine
which may be considered
"demonstrated" or "best". The Agency,
therefore, is dropping "Surface
Deactivation" from the final treatment
standard.
The A^en-y is today pcMUSgating a
treatment standard expressed as a
required method of treatment for the
radioactive lead solids treatability
group: "Macroencapsulation as a
Method of Treatment" (MACRO). See
| 208.42 Table 1 in today's rule for a
detailed description of the technology
standard referred to by the Ave letter
technology code in the parentheses^
Pretreatment practices such as surface
decontamination are not precluded by
this final rule. Following pretreatment,
any nonradioactive lead is subject to the
treatment standard for characteristic
lead wastes, 5.0 mg/1.
For low-level radioactive wastes
containing lead, conventional
stabilization technologies generally
should not be affected by the presence
of radioactive versus nonradioactive
lead. As a result, the Agency is not
including mixed wastes such as
wastewater treatment residues and
incinerator ash containing radioactive
lead in a separate treatability group,
except for the purpose of determining
availability of treatment capacity (i.e..
stabilization processes for rad'oactive
materials should employ special safety
precautions due to the radioactivity).

(4) Treatment Standards for Mixed
Waste Containing Elemental Mercury.
Elemental mercury is typically found in
vacuum pumps and related manometers.
In the nuclear industry, this form of
mercury has been contaminated with
radioactive tritium (a radio-isotope of
hydrogen). These wastes are identified
as D009 or U1S1 mixed wastes.
The Agency proposed a treatment ¦
standard for radioactive wastes
containing elementary mercury
expressed as a method of.treatment.
"Amalgamation with Zinc a& a Method
of Treatment" (54 FR 46442-48443). A
separate treatability group was
established because the proposed
treatment standard for nonradioactive
wastes of this type was "Roasting or '
Retorting as a Method of Treatment",
and the Agency had no information
indicating that these processes could
separate the mercury from the
radioactive material (i.e., tritium}. The
Agency based its proposed treatment
standard for radioactive wastes
containing elemental mercury on data
involving the application of elemental
zinc powder dampened with dilute
sulfuric acid (5-1OT) to form a mercury
amalgam.
The Agency is promulgating this
treatment standanl as proposed. The
Agency is convinced that amalgamation
provides significant reduction in the air
emissions of mercury, as well as
provides a change in mobility from
liquid mercury to a paste-like solid, and
potentially reduces teachability. In
response to comments stating that in
addition to zinc, other inorganic
reagents such as copper, nickel gold,
and sulfur were effective in forming
mercury amalgamations, the required
method, "Amalgamation" (AMLGM),
may be accomplished using any of these
reager.ts- (See § 268.42 Table 1 in
today s rule fpr a detailed description of
the technology standard referred to by
the five letter technology code in the
parentheses.) Roasting, retorting, or
other recovery processes are not
precluded from use by this standard as
long as all residuals from these recovery
processes comply with the
amalgamation treatment standard pric-
to land disposal.

(5) Treatment Standards forMeitury-
Containing Hydraulic Oii Contaminated
with Radioactive Materials. The Agency
proposed a treatment standard of
"Incineration as a Method cf Treatment
with Incinerator Residues Meeting 0.2
mg/1" for D009 hydraulic oil
contaminated with radioactive materials
(54 FR 48443). This treatment standard
was. based on EPA's determination that <
a technology applicable to
nonradioactive mercury wastes that
contain high levels of organics was-
incineration. No comments were
received on the proposed treatment
standard. Upon reexamination of the
proposed standard, however, the
Agency is dropping the requirements
that the treatment residues meet a
specified leveL This is consistent with
the general land disposal restrictions
policy that treatment residues resulting
from the use of a required method of
treatment are not required to also meet
a concentration-based standard (see
section lHA.l.b)! Today's final
treatment standard for D009 hydraulic
oil contaminated with radioactive
materials is "Incineration as a Method
of Treatment" (INCIN). (See S 268.42
table 1 in today's rule for a detailed
description of the technology standard
referred to by the five letter technology
code in the parentheses.)

who stated that the alternate standard
for inorganic hazardous waste disposed
of in lab packs should be expanded,
asnd that the treatment train proposed
by the commenters may effectively treat
certain organometallic wastes. The
Agency believes that a more effective
approach to managing inorganic and
organometallic wastes would allow
commingling of these wastes in an -
"organometallic" or "appendix IV lab
pack." The alternate treatment standard
of incineration followed by treatment to
achieve the treatment standards for the
EP toxic metals included in appendix IV
will effectively destroy the organ!cs and
immobilise the metal constituents. The
Agency, therefore, is not promulgating
the alternate treatment standard for
"Inorganic lab packs" as proposed, but
rather is promulgating an alternate
standard for "organometallic" or
"appendix IV lab packs."
The Agency is departing from its
proposed approach for inorganic
hazardous waste based on concern with
specifying stabilization as a treatment
standard for metallic waste streams
with varying treatability with no
requirement for verifying that
stabilization of the hazardous
constituents was effective. The Agency
is also concerned that die proposed
standard would create risks to worker
health and safety due to the need for
removal of inorganic waste from inner
containers prior to stabilization with
Portland cement Several commenters
claimed that such practices result in
unnecessary exposure of treatment
personnel, and increase the risk of
atctdents and resulting environmental *
exposure. The Agency was unaware of
these safety and environmental
concerns, and does not wish to increase
the risks associated with treatment of
these wastes.
Several commenters suggested that
the Agency allow corrosive (D002) and
reactive (D003) wastes in organic lab
packs, while others requested that they
be allowed in inorganic or-
organometallic lab packs. The
commenters stated that industry
experience with these wastes indicates
that they can be effectively treated by
incineration, and that recovery is not a
cost-effective or practical method of
treating these wastes. The Agency
agrees in part with the commenters.
Although Agency data show that some
corrosive wastes can be incinerated
effectively (54 FR 48422), many of these
wastes contain metal constituents that
may require further treatment The
Agency is concerned that incineration of
metal-bearing wastes without
verification may not be protective of
human health and the environment.
(Where the Agency specifies a
technology as the treatment standard,
treatment using the specified technology
satisfies the land disposal restriction
requirements, and analysis cf the
treatment residues i3 not required for
purposes of complying with part 258.)
The Agency, therefore, is prohibiting
D002 corrosive and D003 reactive
wastes from appendix V lab packs.
Rather, the Agency believes that the
alternate treatment standard for
Appendix IV organometallic lab packs,
which requires incinceration and
treatment to meet certain EP toxic metal
treatment standards, is more
appropriate for D002 and D003 wastes
because it requires incineration of
organic constituents that may interfere
with stabilization and verification that
treatment of metals has occurred. The
Agency, therefore, is including these
waste codes in appendix IV to part 263.
Generators may dispose of D002 and
D003 wastes in an appendix IV
(organometallic) lab pack along with
other wastes identified in appendix IV,
provided that the compatibility
standards in $ J 284.316 and 265.310 are
met
The Agency wishes to clarify that
where an appendix IV lab pack contains
listed hazardous waste with waste code-
specific treatment standards for
inorganic constituents that are also EP
toxic metals (5 261.24) (within the same
lab pack), the waste must be treated, at
a minimum, to meet the EP toxic metal
treatment standard. For example, an
appendix IV lab pack may contain
analytical samples of PD08 waste
(wastewater treatment sludges from
electroplating operations) which has
waste code-specific treatment standards
for cadmium, chromium, lead and silver.
These constituents are also EP toxic
metals. In comparing the F008 treatment
standards with the EP toxic metal
treatment standards for these
constituents, the F0C8 treatment
standards for cadmium, lead, and silver
are lower than their respective EP toxic
metal treatment standards, while the
F006 treatment standard for chromium is
higher. The applicable alternate
treatment standards for all of the metal
' constituents in this hypothetical analytic
sample, at a minimum, would be the
treatment standards for the EP toxic
metals.
The Agency further wishes to clarify
that where lab packs are combined with
other non-lab pack hazardous wastes
prior to or during treatment (e.g., prior to
- incineration), f S 268.41 and 268.43(b)
require that the entire mixture must be
treated to meet the most stringent
treatment standards applicable to th
wastes included in the mixture. For
example, ash residue resulting from tha
incineration of a lab pack containing an
EP toxic characteristic lead waste
together with non-lab pack K001
nonwastewaters (bottom sediment
sludge from the treatment of
wastewaters from wood preserving
processes that use creosote and/or
pantachloropher.ol), would have
overlapping treatment standards for
lead: 0.51 mg/1 for the K001
nonwastewater, and 5.0 mg/1 for the
characteristic waste. In this case, the
more stringent treatment standard
would apply, based on the mixture of
the K001 waste with the lab pack
containing an EP toxic metal
constituent
(2) Unregulated (Nonhazardousj
Waste. In the proposed rule, the Agency
stated its concern with the effect of
unregulated inorganic wastes on
treatment of lab pack wastes. Specific
data on the type and quantity of
unregulated inorganics destined for
disposal in "organic" and 'Inorganic"
lab packs were not available; therefore,
the Agency was reluctant to allow ?
disposal of these wastes in lab pac|s
where analysis of the treatment " ;
residuals was not required.
The Agency received several
comments stating that unregulated
waste such as glassware is typically
disposed of and incinerated with
hazardous waste generated by
laboratories. The commenters also -
stated that protective clothing and gear,
such as goggles, gloves, aprons,
respirator cartridges, and pesticide
products are also disposed of in lab
packs. The commenters argued that
these unregulated wastes should also be
allowed in lab packs because their
presence does not affect the
performance of incineration of
hazardous waste.
The Agency also received comments
indicating that the excessive cost of lab
pack disposal discourages commingling
of hazardous and unregulated wastes.
Thus, in most cases, disposal of
unregulated waste in lab packs is
limited to small quantities. The Agency
believes that these small quantities can
be effectively treated under the
alternate treatment standard, and is
revising its proposed approach to allow
generators to dispose of unregulated
waste in appendix IV lab packs.
(3) Organic Lab Packs. The Agency
proposed to limit the applicability of the
alternate treatment standard to organic
wastes that have a treatment standard
based on the performance of.
incineration or thermal destruction, or
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 55, No. 106 / Friday, June 1, 1990 / Rules and Regulations
22631
where incineration only is specified as
the treatment standard.
Some commenters stated that there is
no sound basis for excluding waste
codes that already meet th&treatment
standards from disposal in their
respective lab packs. The Agency is not
opposed to extending the alternate
standards to such waste, but was
unaware that generators disposed of
treated waste (or waste that initially
meets the treatment standard) in this
manner. Numerous commenters have
expressed a desire to continue this
practice; therefore, the Agency is
revising the language in 40 CFR
268.42(c)(1) so that prohibited waste that
meets the applicable treatment
standards is not precluded from disposal
utilizing the alternate treatment
standards, provided that each waste
code(s) is listed in appendix IV or
appendix V. and the waste is disposed
of in the appropriate lab pack.
Several commenters stated that
incineration (or deactivation by
incineration) of small quantities of
reactive U and P wastes in lab packs is
proven to be safe and effective. The
commenters further point to the fact that
EPA proposed deactivation,
incineration, or thermal treatment for
several U and P waste codes that are
potentially reactive wastes, but failed to
include the applicable waste codes in
appendix IV. The Agency agrees with
the commenters that small quantities of
reactive U and P waste codes as
specified in the proposed rule (54 FR
43427-48428) can be safety packaged
and incinerated in a lab pack provided
•that the requirements for incompatible
waste in §§284.316 and 285J16 are met
The Agency is therefore amending
appendices IV and V to include several
additional U and P wastes codes. The
Agency also is including California list
PCBs and dioxin-containing waste
(t020-F023. F028-F028) in the lab pack
treatability group as proposed, but
reiterates that treatment of these wastes
requires more stringent performance
standards than wastes included in part
258 appendices IV and V (Le.. dioxins
must achieve a destruction and removal
. efficiency of 99.9999 percent and PCBs
must meet the technical standard in 40
CFR 781.70). Where generators choose to
commingle one or both of these wastes
with organic lab pack wastes listed in
appendices IV and V. the entire lab pack
must be incinerated to meet the more
stringent standard. The following
examples are provided for clarification:
(a) A lab pack containing dioxin-
containing waste. California list PCBs
and appendix V waste must be
incinerated according to the technical
standards of 40 CFR 781.70 and the
applicable requirements of parts 284.
285, and 268 (including all applicable
performance standards for dioxin-
containing waste).
(b) A lab pack that contains only
dioxin-containing waste (F020-23 and
F028-28) or a mixture of dioxin-
containing waste and organic hazardous
waste codes listed in appendix V to part
2S8 must be incinerated according to the
provisions in part 284 or 265 subpart O
(including the applicable performance
standards for dioxin-containing waste).
According to the provisions of today'B
final rule, generators may utilize the
alternate treatment standards if their lab
packs contain those wastes summarized
below:
(a) "Appendix IV organometallic lab
packs" may contain the following
hazardous waste identified in appendix
IV:
(1) Organometallic;
(2) Inorganic;
(3) Organic
(4) 0002 corrosives; and
(5) D003 reactives.
(b) "Appendix V organic lab packs"
may contain only those organic
hazardous wastes identified in appendix
V.
Lab packs which contain any hazardous
waste other than wastes listed in
Appendix V are not appendix V organic
lab packs, and may not use the alternate
treatment standard.
d. Other Requirements
EPA proposed that generators or
owners/operators who dispose of lab
packs according to the alternate
treatment standard must also meet the
requirements for lab packs specified in
40 CFR 264.316 and 265.316. Several
commenters expressed concern with the
provision that requires metal outer
containers (9 261310(b)) and
§ 265.316(b)), and pointed out that the
original intent of these regulations yas
to ensure adequate containment for lab
pack wastes that were being land
disposed with or without prior
treatment The commenters further
stated that lab packs destined for
incineration are generally put in fiber
packs that meet die Department of
Transportation (DOT) requirements (49
CFR 173.12) and are suitable for
incineration. The commenters requested
that the Agency allow the continued use
of fiber packs that meet applicable DOT
requirements. The Agency does not wish
to disrupt the use of fiber packs, and is
amending 3 § 3)4-316(b) and 286.316(b) to
allow their continued use.
The Agency is promulgating its
proposed approach with regard to
generator notification requirements, and
is requiring generators to list each EPA
Hazardous Waste Code on a notification
form and identify the applicable lab
pack categories. Several commenters
stated that the notification provision as
proposed is burdensome. The Agency
believes, however, that notification is
necessary in order for owners/operators
to verify that they are accepting for
treatment only those waste codes
covered under their permit. The Agency
reiterates that the provisions
promulgated in today's final rule do not
supersede permit requirements under
the RCRA hazardous waste program.
Generators or owners/operators who
intend to utilize the applicable alternate
treatment standard for hazardous waste
codes listed in appendix IV and
appendix V to part 268 must comply
with the notification, certification, and
recordkeeping requirements of 40 CFR
26&7(a) (7) and (8). They must also
comply with the provisions in sections
(a)(1), (a)(5). (a)(8). (b)(2) and (c). The
Agency is requiring generators utilizing
the alternate treatment standards to
state whether the lab pack is am
appendix IV or appendix V lab pack,
and certify that hazardous wastes
included therein are listed in fh®
applicable appendix. The Agency
emphasizes that lab packs containing
hazardous wastes other than those
listed in appendix IV and appendix V to
part 288 are excluded from the alternate
treatment standards for lab packs.
m.B Capacity Determinations
1. Determination of Alternative
Capacity and Effective Dates for
Surface-Disposed Wastes. Between May
8,1990, when this rule was signed, and
the date of its publication in the Federal
Register, EPA discovered and corrected
several discrepancies between the
capacity variances discussed in the
preamble and those included in the
regulatory language. For details on those
corrections, please contact those listed
in the additional information section at
the beginning of the preamble.
a. Total Quantity of Land-Disposed
Wastes. The capacity analyses for
wastes for which EPA is today finalizing
treatment standards were conducted •
using the National Survey of Hazardous
Waste Treatment Storage. Disposal,
and Recycling Facilities (the TSDR
Survey). EPA conducted the TSDR
Survey during 1987 and early 1988 to
obtain comprehensive data on the
nation's capacity for managing
hazardous waste and on the volumes of
hazardous waste being disposed of in or
on the land in 1968 (i.e.. land disposal).

Survey data are part of the record for
this final rule.
Other major sources of data include
the National Survey of Hazardous
Waste Generators, conducted by EPA
during 1988 and 1939. This survey
includes data on waste generation,
waste characterization, and hezardous
waste treatment capacity in units
exempt from RCRA permitting. These
data are also part of the record for this
final rule.
For mixed RCRA/radioactive wastes,
EPA used data supplied by the U.S.
Department of Energy. Low-level
radioactive waste survey data from
individual states and State compacts
were also used, as were data summaries
in several overview reports on mixed
ladioactive waste.
The various land disposal methods
used in 1988 and the quantities of waste
they handled (excluding mixed
radioactive wastes) are presented in
Table III.B.l.(a). The data indicate about
5.7 billion gallons of the wastes for
which standards are being finalized
today were disposed of in or on the
land. This estimate includes 77 million
gallons that were stored in waste piles
for short-term storage purposes. These
stored wastes will eventually be treated,
recycled, or permanently disposed of in
other units. To avoid double counting,
the volumes of wastes reported as being
Btored in waste piles have not been
included in the volumes of wastes
requiring alternative treatment
EPA estimates that about 22 million
gallons of treatment residuals from
.minimum technology impoundments or
from impoundments that were replaced
by a tank (e.g., standard cement, steel
tanks] will require alternative treatment
EPA assumes that these wastes are now
being sent off-site for treatment
Consequently, this amount is included
as treatment capacity required in
today's rule.

In addition, 30 million gallons of
wastes were treated in waste piles, 52
million gallons were disposed of in
surface impoundments, 430 million
gallons were disposed of in land
treatment units or landfills, and 5.1
billion gallons were injected
underground. All of these wastes will
require alternative treatment capacity.
EPA notes, however, that the TSDR
Survey may overstate demand for
treatment capcity for wastewaters that
were treated or disposed of in surface
impoundments at the time of the survey
(1987 and early 1988). This
overstatement is due to the requirement
that impoundments receiving most
hazardous wastes must now be
retrofitted to meet minimum technology
requirements, or taken out of service, as
a result of RCRA section 3005(j). If an
impoundment continues to operate after
being retrofitted, it becomes a section
3005(j}(ll) impoundment provided that
the wastewaters are treated and
residues are removed annually.
Wastewaters that are not treated or
disposed of in surface disposal units, or
that are treated in section 3005(j)(ll)
impoundments, do not create any
demand for alternative commercial
treatment capacity.
EPA solicited comments on those ,
wastewaters currently disposed of in
surface units that require alternative
commercial treatment capacity. One
commenter mentioned that EPA did not
include volumes associated with surface
impoundments awaiting closure. No
commenter provided information on the
volumes associated with these
impoundments. Based on EPA's data,
approximately ten percent of the surface
impoundments that have submitted
closure plans are awaiting closure plan
approvals. EPA believes that most of
these impoundments removed liquid
hazardous wastes on or about
November 8.1988. EPA believes that the
remaining volume of wastewaters in
surface disposal units awaiting closure
is small Consequently, EPA did not
include in the capacity analysis
additional volumes associated with
surface impoundments awaiting closure.
(This discussion does not apply to
wastewaters destined for deepwell
disposal.)
EPA also requested comments on the
quantity of RCRA P and U waste codes
currently being disposed of in
deepweils. The TSDR Survey data
include some large-volume waste
streams containing P and U RCRA
codes. However, P and U wastes by
definition are discarded off-specification
products or residues and are usually
generated in small volumes. Facilities
disposing of these large-volume waste
streams in deepweils have indicated
that small volumes of P and U wastes
were mixed with large volumes of other
wastes, but the facilities were not able
to provide a specific volume for the
deepwell-disposed P and U wastes.
Since the facilities generally described
the volume of P and U wastes deepwell-
disposed as "very small," EPA has
assumed for the analysis of alternative
treatment capacity that the national
volume of P and U wastes needing
alternative capacity is less than 100,000
gallons. EPA also requested comments
on the assumption that the volumes of P
and U wastes being deepwell-disposed
are less than 100.000 gallons. -• *
EPA received several comment^
concerning deepwell-injected P and U
wastes. One commenter submitted data
indicating that their facility disposed of
20,458 gallons of U wastes by deepwell
injection in 1989. However, this
commenter has received a no-migration
petition approval and no alternative
capacity is needed. One commenter
indicated that EPA's methodology for
determining actual P and U volumes
was flawed resulting in artificially low
estimates, and believed that the true
volume of these wastes was large
enough to warrant a national capacity
variance (3.3 million gallons at the
commenter's facility alone). EPA has
reviewed these data and agrees that the
P and U volume at the second
commenter's facility is much larger than
previously assigned under the P and U
methodology of 100,000 gallons.
However, this volume has been
determined to belong to a stream that is
not a hazardous waste under Section
281.3(a)(2)(iv). The large volume of the
stream does not reflect the volume of P
and U wastes in the stream—which
resulted from de minimis losses—but
rather the total wastewater volume. This
volume, therefore, does not require
alternative treatment capacity.
Consequently, EPA is not changing its P
and U waste methodology and is not
granting a national capacity variance to
these wastes.
The following sections provide a
summary of the capacity analysis for the
-------
Federal Register / Vol.
56, No. 106 / Friday, June 1. 1990 / Rules and Regulations
22633
final rule. The detailed analyses are
presented in the background document
and all data are included in the public
docket.
b. Required Alternative Capacity for
Surface-Disposed Wastes. l3>A assessed
the requirements resulting from today's
final rule for alternative treatment
capacity for surface-disposed wastes.
Using primarily the TSDR and Generator
Survey data. EPA first characterized the
volumes of wastes for which treatment
standards are being established. Waste
streams were characterized on the basis
of land disposal method, waste code,
physical and chemical form, and waste
characterization data. Using this
information. EPA placed the wastes in
treatability groups associated with
applicable treatment technologies. The
waste volumes were then summed by
treatability group to determine the
amount and type of alternative
treatment capacity that would be
required when owners or operators
comply with the land disposal
restrictions being finalized today.
Based on this analysis, EPA estimates
that today's rule could affect about 5.7
billion gallons of wastes that are land-
disposed annually. This total includes 77
million gallons in short-term storage^
and 70 million gallons that already meet
treatment standards or that can be
treated on-site. Consequently, only
about 5.5 billion gallons will require
treatment to meet standards EPA is
promulgating in today's rule. Of this
total 513 million gallons were surface-
disposed (le„ excluding underground
injection), and the remaining 5 billion
gallons were underground injected. (See
Section 2 ^determinations of
alternative capacity and effective dates
for wastes injected underground.) EPA
estimates that treatment of these
surface-disposed and deepwell-injected
wastes will generate approximately 82
million gallons of residuals requiring
treatment before land disposal.
The volumes of surface-disposed
wastes by waste codes that require
commercial treatment and/or recycling
capacity to meet the standards that EPA
is promulgating today are presented in
Table DLB.l.(b). This table does not
include waste volumes that can be
treated on-site by the generator, nor
does it contain volumes of mixed
radioactive wastes.
As explained in section OLA of this
preamble. EPA is finalising treatment
standards expressed either as
concentration limits based on the
performance of the BOAT, or as a
specific treatment technology. When a
treatment standard la expressed as a
concentration limit, a specific treatment
method is not required to achieve that
concentration leveL However, the BDAT
(and comparable technologies), as
discussed in Section IILA* were used as
the basis for determining available
capacity. When the treatment standard
is expressed as a specific technology
(rather than a concentration limit), that
technology must be used.
Hie TSDR Survey contains data on
specific treatment processes at facilities.
The data enable EPA to identify specific
BDAT treatment (and comparable
treatment) in its assessment of both off-
site and on-site capacity. Therefore,
EPA believes that the capacity identified
as available for a specific treatment
technology will be capable of meeting
the BDAT standard, which has been
developed such that a well-designed and
well-operated BDAT treatment process
should be capable of meeting it
In the proposed rule, EPA established
criteria for differentiating between a
liquid and a solid waste because of the
variance for D001 sludges and solid&
EPA requested comments on the
proposed criteria, and during the public
comment period received two comments
requesting clarification of die sludge/
solid definition. EPA also received
several comments identifying additional
sludge/solid incineration capacity.
Commenters identified new units at
existing facilities and increased capacity
resulting from trial burns conducted
after the 1986 survey. Based on an
analysis of this information, EPA has
determined that there is adequate
capacity to incinerate D001 sludge/solid
wastes. Consequently, EPA is not
granting D001 sludge/solids a variance,
and the criteria proposed for
differentiating between a liquid and a
so lid are no longer necessary.

c. Capacity Currently Available and
Effective Dates. Table IILB.l.(c) presents
an estimate for each treatment
technology of the volumes of wastes
that will require alternative treatment
before land disposal to comply with the
standards finalized today. The amount.
of capacity that is available at
commercial facilities in each case is also
presented. Available capacity was
calculated using the TSDR Survey ar.d
other capacity data. Available capacity
is equal to the specific treatment
system's maximum capacity minus the
amount used in 1936. In addition, the
available capacity presented in this
section was adjusted to account for
wastes previously restricted from land
disposal by subtracting the capacity
required for land-disposed solvent
wastes. First Third wastes, and Second
Third wastes.
In general. Table QI.B.l.(c) indicates
that there is inadequate capacity for
certain technologies: combustion of
sludges and solids, mercury retorting,
acid leaching followed by chemical
precipitation, thermal recovery, and
vitrification.
For combustion of sludges and solids,
there is inadequate capacity for sludges
and solids derived from treating multi-
source leachate. for K048 through K052
nonwastewaters (temporarily), and doil
and debris. (See section IILB.3 for a
more detailed discussion.) However,
there is adequate capacity for aljrdther
wastes needing combustion of studaen
and solids. For mercury retorting; ftero
is inadequate capacity for high mercury
DOW, K106. and U151 nonwastewaters.
However there is adequate capacity for
other wastes needing this technology.
For acid leaching and chemical
precipitation, there is insufficient
capacity to treat low-mercury D009.
K108, P065, P092, and U151
nonwastewaters. For thermal recovery.
EPA has determined that there is
insufficient capacity for P087
wastewaters and nonwastewaters. For
vitrification, there is inadequate
capacity for arsenic nonwastewaters.
It is important to note that some of the
wastes, because of their actual physical
form, cannot be treated to meet
standards simply by using the
technology identified as BDAT. These
wastes must be treated through several
steps, called a "treatment train." EPA
assumes that the resultant residuals will
also need tu be treated using alternative
technologies before land disposal;
therefore, the total volumes reported
were assigned to appropriate
technologies.
The following sections discuss ihe
results of the individual capacity
analyses and effective dates for each
waste code included in today's final
rule. Table OI.B.l.(d) summarizes all the
surface-disposed wastes for which EPA
is granting a two-year variance. The
detailed basis for EPA's conclusions can
be found in the capacity background
document for this final rule.

data for incineration and cement kilns,
EPA has determined that adequate
capacity exists to treat surface-disposed
D001 liquids wastes. Therefore, EPA is
not granting a national capacity
variance for these wastes.
EPA is promulgating deactivation as
the method of treatment for D001
ignitable reactives and oxidizers. EPA
has determined that sufficient capacity
exists for these wastes; therefore, EPA is
not granting a national capacity
variance for them.
For DC01 ignitable compressed gases,
EPA is promulgating deactivation as the
method of treatment EPA has
determined that adequate capacity
exists for these wastes; therefore, EPA is
not granting a national capacity
variance for them.
(b) Corrosive Characteristic Wastes
(D002). EPA has identified three
treatability groups for D002 wastes:
acids, alkalines, and other corrosives.
EPA is promulgating deactivation, which
includes neutralization, as the method of
treatment for the D002 acid and alkaline
subcategories. In addition, recovery of
acids or bases is included as an option
far these standards. By definition,
wastes in these subcategories are
liquids; therefore based on the limited
number cf surface impoundments that
meet minimum technology requirements
and the ban on liquids in landfills, EPA
believes that few, if any. of these wastes
are surface-disposed. For the capacity
analysis, EPA assigned all D0Q2 wastes
to neutralization. EPA has determined
that sufficient neutralization capacity
does exist for acid and alkaline D002
v. jstes that are surface-disposed;
therefore, EPA is not granting a national
capacity variance for them.
For the D002 other corrosives
category. EPA is promulgating
deactivation as the method of treatment
These wastes can be deactivated using
chemical reagents or by other means. In
addition. EPA believes that these wastes
are generated in low volumes.
Therefore, EPA is not granting a
rational capacity variance for them.
(c) P.eactive Characteristic Wastes
(D003). For D003 wastes, EPA has
identified five treatabihty-groups:
reactive cyanides, explosives, water
reactives. reactive sulfides, and other
reactives. For D003 cyanides. EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on alkaline chlorination, wet-air
oxidation, or electrolytic oxidation.
Although reactive cyanides account for
the majority of D003 generated wastes.
EPA believes that most are already
restricted from landfills by existing
regulations (40 CFR Part 264.312,
265.312). EPA believes that sufficient
capacity does exist for th<) volume of
surface-disposed D003 cyanide reactive
wastes; therefore, EPA is not granting a
national capacity variance for them.
For D003 reactive sulfides, EPA is
promulgating deactivation as the
method of treatment which includes
chemical oxidation. EPA believes
sufficient capacity does exist for the
volume of surface-disposed D003 sulfide
wastes; therefore, EPA is not granting a
national capacity variance for them.
For D003 explosive wastes, EPA is
promulgating deactivation as the
method of treatment Because most of
these wastes are already restricted from
land disposal by existing regulations
and are commonly burned and/or
detonated. EPA is not granting a
national capacity variance for them.
For D003 watsr-reactive wastes, EPA
is promulgating deactivation as the
method of treatment EPA believes that
these wastes are generated sporadically
and in low volumes and are not
typically land-disposed. Therefore. EPA
is not granting a national capacity
variance for them.
For other reactive D003 wastes. EPA
promulgating deactivation as die
method of treatment EPA believes these
wastes could be incinerated or
detonated openly and that there is
adequate capacity for treating the small
volumes that are surface-disposed.
Therefore, EPA is not granting a
national capacity variance for them.

For these EP toxic halogenated.
pesticide nonwastewaters, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on incineration. For D012 and'
C015 wastewaters, EPA is promulgating
incineration or biological treatment as
methods of treatment; for D013
wastewaters, EPA has set incineration
or carbon adsorption as methods of
treatment; for D014 wastewaters, EPA is
promulgating incineration or wet-air
oxidation as methods of treatment; for
D016 and D017 wastewaters, EPA has
set incineration or chemical oxidation as
methods of treatment EPA has also set
biodegradation as an alternate method
of treatment for DO10 nonwastewaters.
EPA has determined that sufficient
treatment capacity exists for these
wastes; therefore, EPA is not granting
EP toxic pesticide wastewaters and -
nonwastewaters a national capacity
variance.

followed by arsenic stabilization of the
precipitate. This technology may be
inappropriate for all arsenic
nonwastewaters because crganics are
known to interfere with the stabilization
process. EPA believes vitrification will
work for all forms of arsenic
nonwastewaters. because high
temperatures are expected to destroy
the organo-metallic bonds, and
therefore, its performance is not limited
by the presence of organics. Thus, EPA
has assigned arsenic nonwastewaters to
vitrification for the capacity analysis.
The TSDR Survey indicates that no
commercial vitrification capacity exists.
EPA requested information on
commercial vitrification capacity, but
received no comments demonstrating
that this type of capacity exists.
Therfore, EPA Is granting a two-year
capacity variance to the surface-
disposed arsenic nonwastewaters listed
above.
For arsenic wastewaters, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on chemical precipitation. The
TSCR Survey and other capacity data
indicate that adequate chemical
precipitation capacity exists* therefore.

EPA is not granting arsenic wastewaters
a capacity variance.
(b) Barium Wastes. For D005 and P013
wastewaters. EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on
chemical precipitation: for D005 and
F013 (except as indicated below)
nonwastewaters. EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on
stabilization.
For P013 nonwastewaters with high
levels of organics, EPA is requiring that
these wastes be incinerated prior to
stabilization. Sufficient capacity exists
to treat surface-disposed D005 and P013
wastes. Therefore, EPA is not granting a
national capacity variance for them.
(c) Cadmium Wastes. For D006
wastes, EPA is promulgating treatment
standards for three categories:
wastewaters, nonwastewaters, and
cadmium batteries.
For D008 wastewaters, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on chemical precipitation. For
D006 nonwastewaters, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on stabilization or metal
recover}-. EPA believes that sufficient
capacity exists to treat surface-disposed
cadmium nonwastewaters and
wastewaters. Therefore. EPA is not
granting a national capacity variance for
them.
For D006 cadmium batteries. EPA is
promulgating thermal recovery as the
method of treatment In the proposed
r-tle, EPA proposed granting D006
cadmium batteries a national capacity
variance due to alack of identified
recoveiy capacity. During the public
comment period, two commenters
• identified available commercial
cadmium battery recovery capacity
(these comments were available for
reply comments). EPA contacted these
commenters to verify their capacity.
Based on these contacts, EPA received
additional information and determined
tiidt adequate capacity for treating
surface-disposed cadmium batteries
exists. Therefore. EPA is not granting
0008 cadmium Datteries a national
capacity variance.
(d) Chromium Wastes. For D007
chromium and U032 (calcium chromate)
wastewaters. EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on t
chromium reduction followed by-
chemical precipitation; for D007 and
U032 nonwastewaters. EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on chromium reduction followed
by stabilization. EPA believes sufficient
treatment capacity exists for the volume
of these wastes. Therefore. EPA is not
granting-a national capacity variance for
them.
' (e) Lead Wastes.
D008—EP toxic for lead
PX10—Tetraethyl lead
U144—Lead acetate
U145—Lead phosphate
U148—Lead subacetate
KO09—Emissision control dust/sludge from
secondary lead smelting
K100—Waste leaching solution from acid
leaching of emission control dust/sludge
from secondary lead smelting
For D008 wastes, EPA is promulgating
standards for three categories:
nonwastewaters, wastewaters, and
lead-acid batteries. For D008
nonwastewater lead wastes, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on stabilization, except where the
waste contains significant
concentrations of organics. In this case,
these wastes may need to be incinerated
prior to stabilization. For D0G8
wastewaters, EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on
chemical precipitation. EPA believes
sufficient capacity exists for surface-
disposed D008 wastewaters and
nonwastewaters. Therefore. EPA is not
granting a national capacity variance for
D008 wastewaters and nonwastewaters.
with the exceptions noted below.
EPA is promulgating thermal recovery
as the method of treatment for lead-acid
batteries. Secondary lead smelters have
stated that they store these wastes in
piles prior to recovery. EPA has
indicated in a previous rulemaking that
the shells surrounding lead-acid
batteries are considered to be storage
containers (see 47 FR12318 and 40 CFR
284.314(f)(3)). Therefore, to the extent
that lead-acid battery storage meets all
the requirements of the LDR storage
prohibitions at 40 CFR 268.50, such
storage is permissible.
In the proposed rule, EPA solicited
comments on the management of other
D008 lead material at secondary
smelters. EPA also indicated that
storage of lead materials in waste piles
prior to smelting is a form of land
disposal, and as such these staging
areas are subject to the statutory
prohibitions. During the public comment
period. EPA received several comments
from the secondary lead smelting
industry regarding the storage of battery
parts prior to smelting. Several
commenters expressed concern that
EPA's determination that staging piles
are a form of land-disposal could force
them to close or operate out of
compliance while staging piles are
replaced by tanks (assuming tank
storage is viable). As a result of these
comments, EPA contacted several
secondary smelters to asses the
potential capacity impact of required
staging area reconstruction. Because of
Ihe large volume of batteries currendy
processed at smelting facilities whose
continued storage operation remains in
question. EPA is granting a two-year
national capacity variance to allow
storage of the batteries preceding
smelting. EPA is also reconsidering
whether certain forms of battery parts
storage meet the meaning of "land
disposal" under section 3004(k). In
particular, if battery parts (or other
wastes) are stored in 3-sided tank-like
devices on concrete inside buildings (the
present storage method of some
secondary lead smelters) the Agency is
not certain that the language and
policies underlying section 3004(k)
warrant designating such practice as
"land disposal." Given the two-year
national capacity variance in this rule,
however, the Agency need not make a
final decision on this point in this
rulemaking.
For P110. U144. U145. and U146
wastes. EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on
chemical oxidation followed by
chemical precipitation for wastewaters,
and stabilization for nonwastewaters.
Plia U144. U14S, and U146
nonwastewaters containing significant
concentrations of organics may Require
incineration prior to stabilization. EPA
believes sufficient capacity exists for
the small volume of these waStel that
are surface-disposed: therefore. EPA is
not granting a national capacity
variance for them.
EPA is revoking the no land disposal
standard based on recycling standard
promulgated in the First Third rule for
the non-calcium sulfate subcategory for
K069 nonwastewaters. For K069 calcium
sulfate nonwastewaters. EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on stabilization. For K069 non-
calcium sulfate nonwastewaters. EPA is
promulgating recycling as the method of
treatment. For K069 wastewaters. EPA i3
promulgating concentration standards
based on chemical precipitation. EPA
believes adequate capacity exists to
treat the volume of surface-disposed
K069 wastewaters a.id nonwastewaters:
therefore. EPA is not granting a capacity
variance for them.
For KlOO nonwastewaters. EPA is
revoking the no land disposal standard
based on the "no generation standards"
promulgated in the First Third rule.
Today. EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on
stabilization for the nonwastewaters
and chemical precipitation for the
wastewaters. EPA believes adequate
capacity exists to treat the volume of
surface-disposed KlOO wastes.
Therefore, EPA is not granting a
capacity variance for them.

P065—Meirury fuL-.inate
P0S2—Phenylmerciirc acetile
U151—Mercury
For D0C9, K106. and Ulol
wastewaters. EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on
chemical precipitation. For PG65 and
P092 wastewaters, EPA is promulgating
con-.en'ration standards based on
chemicui oxidation followed by
chemical precipitation. K071 wastewater
standards were promulgated in the First
Third nils and remain unchanged. It
shouid be noted that mercury-bearing
wastewaters containing hexavaient
chromium may require chromium
reduction prior to treatment of the
mercury. likewise, wastewaters
containing organics may require
chemical oxidation prior to treatment of
the mercury.
For met wury nonwastewaters, EPA is
establishing low mercury and high
mercury subcategories. For the high
mercury subcategory (greater than or
equal to 260 mg/kg), EPA is
promulgating roasting or retorting as
methods of treatment for 0009, K106,
and U151 nonwastewaters. For the high
mercury subcategory of P065 and P092
nonv'-astewaters, EPA is promulgating
incineration followed by roasting or
retorting as the method of treatment. For
" tile low mercury subcategory of D009;
K1O0, P065. P092. and U151
nonwastewaters, EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on acid
leaching and chemical precipitation.
Treatment standards for K071
nonwastewaters were originally
promulgated in the First Third rile. In
the proposed Third Third rule, EPA
proposed to revise the standards for
K071 nonwastewaters with a high
mercury content. For this high mercury
subcategory. EPA proposed roasting or
retorting as methods of treatment For
the final rule, EPA is not adopting the
pioposed revisions to K071 wastes, and
the promulgated First Third BDAT
remains unchanged.
EPA believes sufficient capacity
exists to treat the volume of all surface-
disposed mercury wastewaters.
Therefore, EPA is not granting a
national capacity variance for them.
Because current data do not provide
sufficient information on the volume of
uon waste waters that contain high and
low concentrations of mercury, EPA
conducted a worst-case analysis and
assigned all volumes of surface disposed
mercury nonwastewaters to both
mercury retorting and acid leaching
followed by chemical precipitation. EPA
has identified a small amount of
commercial mercury retorting capacity
(16,000 gallons]. There is insufficient
mercury retorting capacity for D009,
K106, and U151 nonwastewaters. Due to
the sporadic generation rate of P wastes
from year to year and the small amount
of available commercial mercury
retorting capacity. EPA is granting all
high mercury nonwastewaters a two-
year national capacity variance. EPA
has also determined that there is
insufficient commercial capacity for acid
leaching followed by chemical
precipitation; therefore, EPA is granting
low mercury D009, K106, P065, P092. and
U151 nonwastewaters a national
capacity variance.
(g) Selenium wastes.
0010—EP Toxic for selenium

For selenium nonwastewaters, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on stabilization. EPA has also
determined that vitrification or recovery
may be used to reach the standards. The
TSDR Survey and other capacity data
indicate that adequate stabilization
capacity exists. Therefore, EPA is not
granting selenium nonwastewaters a
national capacity variance.
For selenium wastewaters, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on chemical precipitation. The
TSDR Survey and other capacity data
indicate that adequate chemical,
precipitation capacity exists: therefore.
EPA is not granting selenium
wastewaters a national capacity
variance.
(h) Silver Wastes.
DOll—EP toxic for silver
P099—Potassium silver cyanide
P104—Silver cyanide
Treatment standards for PC99 and
Pi04 nonwastewaters were promulgated
in the Second Third final rule. For P099
and Pi04 wastewaters, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on chemical precipitation. For
DOll, EPA is promulgating concentration
standards based on chemical
precipitation for wastewaters, and
recovery or stabilization for
nonwastewaters. EPA believes adequate
capacity exists to treat surface-disposed
DOll, P099, and PI04 wastewaters and
DOll nonwastewaters. Therefore, EPA is
not granting a capacity variance for

spent desiccant wastes from the
production, of certain chlorinated
aliphatics). The listing becomes effective
on June 11,1990. Most generators
already treat E025-aa if it were
hazardous, and some facilities,
commingle F024 and E025. Today, EPA.
is pmrniilgating concentration standards
for all categories of F025 wastewaters
and nonwastewaters based on

national capacity variance for them.
(p) K044, K045, K046, K047 Wastes.
For K044, K045. and K047. EPA is
revoking the "no land disposal"
standard promulgated in the First Third
rule. EPA is promulgating deactivation
as the method of treatment for
wastewaters and nonwastewaters. EPA
has determined adequate capacity
exists to treat these wastes; therefore.
EPA is not granting a national capacity
variance for them.
Today, EPA is promulgating
concentration standards for K046
reactive nonwastewaters based on
deactivation followed by stabilization.
For K046 reactive wastewaters. EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on deactivation and chemical
precipitation. Deactivation includes
chemical reduction or detonation. In the
First Third rule. EPA promulgated
treatment standards based on1
stabilization for K046 nonreactive
nonwastewaters. For K046 nonreactive
wastewaters, EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on
deactivation followed by chemical
precipitation. EPA has determined that
adequate capacity exists for these
wastes. Therefore, EPA is not granting
them a national capacity variance.
(q) Petroleum Refining Wastes (K048-
K052). EPA 1b promulgating treatment
standards for organic constituents and
cyanides in K04&-K052 based on data
from incineration, solvent extraction.
For the metals in K04&-K052, EPA is
promulgating treatment standards based
on stabilization and chemical
precipitation. EPA is not revising the
promulgated BDAT treatment standards
for organic or metal constituents in
K048-K052 wastewaters, nor for cyanide
in nonwastewaters. In addition, today's
rule deletes the treatment standards
proposed for arsenic and selenium in
nonwastewater forms of K04&-K052
based on stabilization. Today's rule ulso

based on stahitirartrnr.
TheTSDR Survey indicates that
842.000 tona of K04S-K052 will require
treatment capacity (i.e., will be
displaced from land disposal and will
require treatment). EPA recognizes,
however, that this information is dated;
and to this end undertook to obtain as
current an assessment of demand for
treatment capacity as possible;
Based on informal contact with the
petroleum industry trsdi association, it
appears that the industry may be able to
manage approximately three quarters-of
thesa wattes on-site after August 1990)
in ways not involving land disposal
fprimarily in-honse incineration* use as:
fuel, or use in coking). (This figure is
based cn an informal survey of 93 API
member companies and assumes that
none of die pending no migration
petitions foe land treatment unita will be
rjrantadl However., this'estimate does
not account for the uncertainty and
timing of constructing and obtaining:
permits for on-site disposal/treatment
facilities.) Therefore, assuming.beat case
(i.e., on-site capacity is available),.this,
results in approximately 1B1.Q00 tons per
year of wastes that will require
alternative treatment capacity.
EPA estimated that 100,000 tons of
capacity for treatment of K048-K052
wastes existed in1 the-form of solid}
incineration capacity and fuel
substitution capacity (these wastes are
suitable for useas.alternative fuels in
industrial furnaces provided that they
are dewateredifirst). There is very little
commercial solvent extraction capacity

these units provide limited volumetria

is granted, this facility would provide
sufficient capacity to accommodate -
treatment demand posed by petroleum
wastes. A final decision on the no-
migration petition is expected within the
next six weeks, (There could still-be-
short-term logistic difficulties associated
with getting.wastes to the facility and
the facility coming-on-line that could
prevent immediate utilization of this
capacity, however.}
EPA also recently became aware
(within- the fast two weeks) of additional
solids incineration-capacity which is
presently available that would provide
significant additional treatment eapacity
for petroleum wastes. This technology,
however, requires that wastes undergo a
specialized dewatering pretreatment
step. The treatment company presendy
has twa mobile dowatering pretreatment
units and (according toitsestimates)
can adds two additional! dewatering units
every three months-This-limited amount
of pretreatment equipment(there are
approximately 190 pefroteum facilities
to be serviced) could create a temporary
treatment bottleneck to usa the.
incineration capacity. (This information
appears to have been presented to the
petroleum industry by the treatment
company late hr 1989; so that EPA does
not see notice and! comment problems

relying on the information in this-
rulemaking.)
Based on this infannatinn.EPA has
decided to grant & six-month, national
capacity variance for these wastes;
lasting; until November 7, T990; CFhis
effectivefy extends the industry's
prohibition compliance date three
months- ftom the. date, established in. the
first third rulemaking); EPA believes
that by this date, there wilt be adequate:
pretreatment capacity as well as
incineration and Aiel substitution
capacity to-satisfy demand. There also
maybe solvent- extraction capacity
available-by that date, although there
are sharply conflictmyestimates.inthe
record of how quickly solvent extraction
capacity canbe brought on-One. EPA
would be unjustified however in-
extending- tbe- national capacity
variance until solvent extraction
capacity is available. See S> Rep. No.
284,98th• Tfcus, EPA's decision
today is based on its best estimates of
when treatment capacity of any type
will be available to accommodate these
wastes.
EPA recognizes that these data are
not the most precise, in some cases. In
addition; EPA is concerned with using
data that.it obtains at the very end of
the rulemaking in making such decisions,
(albeit these data tend to corroborate
other existing information regarding
amounts of 3olids combustion capacity
coming on-line). Therefore, based on
further information provided to EPA,
EPA may amend the capacity extension
in today's rule (through tuaof
appropriate rulemaking procedures).
(r) K060 Wastes. Today EPA is
revoking the. "no land disposal" based
on a no generation standard
promulgated foe K06Q nonwastewaters
in the First Thirdrula~ instead, for K06O
nonwastewaters, EPA i& also

capacity analysis conducted for First
Third wastes all of the K088 wastes
identified in the TSDR Survey.
Consequently, no additional capacity
will be required by today's rule, and no
capacity variance is being granted for
KG83 wastes.
(4) Treatment Standards for U and P
Wastes. Today's rule promulgates
treatment standards and capacity
determinations for wastewater and
nonwastewater forms of U and P wastes
(as defined in 40 CFR 281.33 (e) and (f)).
Treatment standards and capacity
determinations for other U and P wastes
that are listed specifically as metal salts
or organo-metallics are discussed in
previous sections of today's rule. This
section also includes a discussion of U
and P wastes that have been identified
as potentially reactive, primarily as
gases, or as cyanogens.
In the proposed rule, EPA grouped all
of the U and P wastes into various
treatability groups based on (1)
similarities in elemental composition
(e.g., carbon, halogens, and metals); and
(2) the presence of key functional groups
(e.g., phenolics, esters, and amines)
within the structure of the individual
chemical represented. EPA has also
accounted for physical and chemical
factors that are known to affect the
selection of treatment alternatives and
to affect the performance of the
treatment such as volatility and
solubility, when developing these
treatability groups. ~
While EPA presented the proposed
treatment standards and capacity
¦determinations for U and P wastes -.
according to these treatability groups,
the promulgated treatment standards
and capacity determinations are
presented as follows: (a) Concentration-
based standards for wastewaters; (b)
concentration-based standards for
non*astewaters; (c) technology-based
standards for wastewaters: and (d)
technology-based standards for
nonwastewaters.
(a) Concentration-Based Standards for
Specific Organic U andP Wastewaters.
EPA is promulgating concentretion-
based standards for those spfcrffic
constituents for which the U or P waste
is listed. For various reasons, EPA is
regulating additional constituents for
several U and P wastes.

U160—Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide
U189—Phosphorus sulfide
U249—Zinc phosphide (<10%)
These wastes either are highly
reactive or explosive or are polymers
that also tend to be highly reactive. For
the purpose of BDAT determinations,
EPA has identified four subcategories:
incinerable reactive organics and
hydrazine derivatives (POOS, P068, P081,
Pi05, P112, U023, U086, U096, U098.
U099, U103, U109, U133, and U180);
incinerable inorganics (P008, PO90, P122,
U135, U189, and U249); fluorine
compounds (P056 and U134); and
recoverable metallic compounds (P015,
P073, and P087). For incinerable reactive
organics and hydrazine derivatives, EPA
is promulgating incineration, fuel
substitution, chemical oxidation, or
chemical reduction as methods of
treatment for nonwastewaters, and
incineration, chemical oxidation,
chemicalreduction, carbon adsoiption,
or biodegradation as methods of
treatment for wastewaters. Because
EPA has determined that sufficient
treatment capacity exists for the small
volume of surface-disposed incinerable
reactive organic hydrazine derivates
(P009, P088, P081, Pi 05, P112, U023, U088,
U098, U098, U099, U103. U109, U133,
U160, and U188), EPA is not granting a
national capacity variance for them.
For all incinerablrinarganic
nonwastewaters, EPA is-promulgating
incineration, chemical oxidation, or
chemical reduction OTnftthods of
treatment For wastewaters, EPA is
promulgating incineration, chemical
oxidatioa or chemical reduction as
methods of treatment EPA has
determined that sufficient treatment
capacity exists for the small volume of
surface-disposed incinerable inorganic
wastes; therefore. EPA is not granting a
national capacity variance for them.
For fluorine compounds
nonwastewaters, EPA is promulgating
adsorption followed by-neutralization as
the method of treatment for P056
nonwastewaters, and neutralization or
adsorption, followed by neutralization
as methods of treatment for U134
nonwastewaters. For P056 and U134
wastewaters, EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on
chemical precipitation. EPA believes
that adequate treatment capacity exists
for these wastes: therefore, EPA is not
granting a capacity variance for them.
In the proposed rule, EPA proposed
recovery as the method of treatment for
P015 wastes. During the comment
period, EPA received one comment
concerning P015 beryllium recovery, and
EPA verified that beryllium recovery
capacity does exist Because EPA has
determined that sufficient capacity
exists for P015 wastes, EPA is not
granting a variance for these wastes. For
P073 wastewaters, EPA is promulgating
concentration standards based on
incineration or chemical oxidation; for
P073 nonwastewaters, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based on stabilization. EPA has
determined that there is enough capacity
available to treat P073 wastewaters and
nonwastewaters; therefore, EPA is not
granting a capacity variance for them.
For P087 wastewaters and
nonwastewaters, EPA is promulgating
recovery as the method of treatment
EPA has determined that there.is not
sufficient treatment capacity for P087
wastewaters and nonwastewaters,. and
is granting these wastes a national
capacity variance.
(6) Gases. This treatability group
includes the following groups: POTS
(Nitric oxide), P078 (Nitrogen dioxide),
and UU5 (Ethylene oxide). For P078 and
P078 wastewaters and nonwastewaters,
EPA is promulgating venting into a
reducing medium as the method of
treatment For U115, EPA is
promulgating thermal or chemical
oxidation as methods of treatment for
nonwastewaters, and incineration, or
chemical oxidation followed by carbon
adsorption, or wet-air oxidation '
followed by carbon adsorption as
methods of treatment for wastewaters.
Because no volumes of P078, P07S, and
U115 were reported as surface disposed
in the TSDR survey. EPA is not granting
a national capacity variance for them.
(7) U and P Cyanogens. For the U and
P wastes containing cyanide. P031
(Cyanogen), P033 (Cyanogen chloride),
and U246(Cy anogen bromide), EPA is
promulgating incineration, chemical
oxidation, or wet-air oxidation as
methods of treatment for both
wastewaters and nonwastewaters. EPA
has determined that sufficient capacity
exists to treat these wastes; therefore,
EPA is not granting a national capacity
variance for them.
(8) Capacity Determination for Multi-
Source Leachate. (a) Definition and
Applicability. EPA defines multi-source
leachate as leachate that is derived from
the treatment storage, disposal, or
recycling of more than one listed
hazardous waste. Under today's final
rule, such leachate will be restricted
from land disposal Residues from
treating such leachate, as well as
residues such as soil and groundwater
that are contaminated by such leachate,
are also restricted from land disposal
under this rule. Leachate derived from a
single source must meet the standard
developed for the waste code from
which it is derived; therefore, such
leachate is not subject to the standards
developed for multi-source leachate.
(b) Previous Treatment Standards.
EPA imposed land disposal prohibitions
on multi-source leachate in the Solvents
and Dioxins, California list and First
Third rulemakings. In the First Third
rule, multi-source leachate would have
to be treated to satisfy all the standards
applicable to the original wastes from
which the leachate is derived (see 53 FR
31146-150 (August 17,1988)). J5PA
revisited the issue of treatability of
multi-source leachate to address
concerns raised by the hazardous waste
management industry, and rescheduled
promulgation of a land disposal
restriction for multi-source leachate to
the Third Third rule in order to fully
study the most appropriate section
3004{m) treatment standards for multi-
source leachate and to reevaluate the
issue of available treatment capacity
(see 54 FR 8284 (January 27,1989)).
(c) Final Treatment Standards. In
today's rule, EPA is promulgating one
set of wastewater and one set of
nonwastewater treatment standards for
multi-source leachate; these standards
would apply to residuals derived from
the storage, treatment or disposal of
multi-source leachate. For treating multi-
source leachate in the form of
wastewater, EPA is promulgating
concentration standards primarily based
on biological treatment followed by
chemical precipitation, or wet-air
oxidation followed by carbon
adsorption followed by chemical
precipitation for organic and inorganic
constituents. For nonwastewaters, EPA
is promulgating concentration standards
based on incineration for organic
constituents and on stabilization for
matala.
(d) Volumes Requiring Alternative
Treatment or Recovery Capacity. EPA
relied on data from the TSDR Survey,
the Generator Survey, and other
capacity data to determine whether
sufficient alternative treatment or
-------
22544 Federal Register / VoL 55, No. 106 / Friday, June 1, 1990 / Rules and Regulations
recovery capacity is available for multi-
source leachate.
Multi-source Ieachate is primarily
generated in landfills. However. EPA
recognizes that multi-source Ieachate
can also be generated at closed
facilities. Because only sparse data exist
on such Ieachate. EPA requested
comments on the characterization of
multi-source Ieachate at closed facilities
and on the volume of treated Ieachate
that is presently land-disposed in
surface disposal units. EPA also
requested the submission of current data
from interested parties on the volumes
of multi-source Ieachate generated, the
current management of such Ieachate,
the amount of residuals generated, and
the waste constituent composition of
multi-source Ieachate.
Several commenters suggested that
EPA has underestimated required
capacity for multi-source Ieachate
because Ieachate from closed landfills
and ground water from corrective
actions and CERCLA cleanups were not
considered. EPA did not obtain
adequate data to quantify the volumes
of such leachates and Ieachate
treatment residuals that might be
surface disposed. These surface-
disposed volumes, however, are not
expected to affect the national capacity
variance determination.
In addition to data from the TSDR and
Generator Surveys, EPA examined data
submitted as part of a Ieachate study
plan by four major companies managing
hazardous wastes at 17 facilities. EPA
evaluated this information to estimate
the volume of multi-source Ieachate
requiring alternative treatment
. (e) Determining National Variances.,
for Multi-Source Leachate. EPA
analyzed the alternative treatment or
recovery capacity for two categories of
multi-source leachate: wastewaters and
nonwastewaters.
Mcst multi-source leachate is
managed in wastewater treatment
systems and discharged via an NPDES
permit and/or to a POTW. EPA
estimates that over 41 million gallons of
multi-source leachate nonwastewater
residues are surface disposed.
Given the low volumes ¦^^•face-
disposed multi-source leachate
wastewaters and the adequate capacity
to treat these wastes, EPA proposed and
has decided not to grant a national
capacity variance for surface-disposed
multi-source leachate wastewaters. For
multi-source leachate nonwastewaters,
EPA is finalizing its proposal to grant a
two-year national capacity variance for
these wastes, because there is
insufficient incineration capacity.
Most commenters agreed with the
proposed variance for surface-disposed
multi-source leachate nonwastewaters.
However, a few commenters requested a
national capacity variance for surface-
disposed multi-source leachate
wastewaters. However, commenters did
not provide evidence of surface-
disposed volumes of multi-source
leachate wastewaters. EPA did not
revise the estimates of wastewater
volumes because no data were provided
showing volumes of multi-source
leachate wastewaters that are surface-
disposed. Also, as noted above, this
surface disposal must involve retrofitted
surface impoundments, under RCRA
section 3005Q), which ordinarily are
section 3005(j)(ll) impoundments.
Therefore, there should be little
additional demand for capacity for
displaced leachate wastewaters.
Commenters did not dispute this
analysis.
(9) Capacity Determination for Mixed
Radioactive Wastes, (a) Background.
EPA has defined a mixed RCRA /
radioactive waste as any matrix
containing a RCRA hazardous waste
and a radioactive waste subject to the
Atomic Energy Act (53 FR"37045,37046,
September 23,1988). Regardless of the
type of radioactive constituents that
these wastes contain (e.g., high-level,
low-level, or transuranic), they are
subject to the RCRA hazardous waste
regulations, including the land disposal
restrictions.
Radioactive wastes that are mixed
with spent solvents, dioxins, or
California list wastes are subject to the
land disposal restrictions already
promulgated for those hazardous
wastes. EPA has determined, however,
that radioactive wastes that are mixed
with First Third and Second Third
wastes will be induded in the Third
Third rulemaking (40 (311268.12(c)).
Thus, today's rule addresses radioactive
wastes that contain First Third, Second
Third, and Third Third wastes.
(b) Data Sources. The Department of
Eneigy (DOE) is a major generator of ,
mixed RCRA/radioactive wastes. For
data on DOE wastes, EPA used a data
set submitted by DOE. This data set is
based on a recent DOE survey and
contains information on mixed RCRA/
radioactive waste inventories,
generation rates, and existing and
planned treatment capacity at 21 DOB
facilities.
A variety of non-DOE facilities also
generate mixed RCRA/radioactive
wastes, including nuclear power plants,
academic and medical institutions, and
industrial facilities. A variety of
information sources were used to
identify the non-DOE generators,
estimate the quantities and types of
mixed RCRA/radioactive wastes that
they generate, and determine current
management practices and treatment
capacity. These sources included the
TSDR Survey, the Generator Survey,
and other studies. EPA believes that
these sources provide available
information on non-DOE mixed RCRA/
radioactive wastes.
(c) Determining National Variances
for Mixed RCRA/Radioactive Wastes.
After investigating the data sources
noted above, EPA estimated that
approximately 393 million gallons of
radioactive waste mixed with First.
Second, and Third Third wastes will
require treatment Contaminated soil
and debris accounts for 193 million
gallons of this total. which also includes
wastes generated annually as well as
untreated wastes in storage. Although
DOE is in the process of increasing its
capacity to treat mixed RCAR/
radioactive wastes, data supplied by
DOE indicate a current capacity
shortfall for the treatment of First
Second, and Third.Third mixed RCRA/
radioactive wastes. DOE indicated a
stabilization capacity of approximately
2.8 million gallons and a neutralization
capacity of approximately 400,000 '
gallons. The data, however, showed
significant alternative treatment
capacity shortfalls for all treatment
technologies, including stabilization and
neutralization. EPA's investigation of
non-DOE data sources showed a
significant lack of commercial treatment
capacity as welL Although one facility
was identified that manages a specific
type of mixed RCRA/radioactive waste,
data sources indicate a lack of sufficient
treatment capacity, for all treatment
technologies. TTius, EPA has determined
that sufficient alternative treatment
capacity is not available and is granting
a two-year national capacity variance
for mixed RCRA/radioactive waste
wastewaters and nonwastwaters.
One commenter indicated that the
proposed two-year national capacity
variance is unlawfully and
unnecessarily broad, and that EPA
should grant variances only for specific
waste streams. EPA disagrees with this
statement The capacity analysis was
based on detailed, stream-specific data
supplied by DOE as well as the best
available non-DOE data sources.
Although sufficient treatment capacity
may exist at certain facilities for certain
mixed RCRA/ radioactive wastes. EPA's
capacity analysis methodology is
designed to assess available treatment
capacity at the national level. (See
RCRA section 3004(h)(2).) EPA believes
the capacity analysis performed
demonstrates a mixed RCRA/
radioactive waste cap; city shortfall for
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 55, No. 106 / Friday. June 1, 1990 / Rules and Regulations
22645
all alternative treatment technologies at
the national leveL
The same commenter indicated that
EPA must determine that available
treatment capacity existing for non-
radioactive RCRA hazardous waste is
inappropriate for mixed RCRA/
radioactive wastes. EPA believes that
the lack of commercial mixed RCRA/
radioactive waste treatment capacity
was sufficiently demonstrated in the
proposed rule. Not only does the TSDR
Survey show a lack of permitted
treatment facilities accepting mixed
RCRA/radioactive wastes, the most
recent data made available by States
and State low-level waste compacts
support the same conclusion. For the
reasons iterated here, EPA believes that
the national capacity variance for mixed
RCRA/radioactive wastes is both
necessary and justified. All other
commenters addressing the national
capacity variance were in support of
EPA's proposal.
One commenter raised the question of
whether naturally-occurring radioactive
materials (NORM] containing RCRA
listed or characteristic hazardous
wastes fall under the definition of mixed
RCRA/radioactive wastes. The question
was also raised whether the national
capacity variance extends to these
materials. EPA believes that because
NORM are not regulated by the Atomic
Energy Act these materials do not fall
under the definition of mixed RCRA/
radioactive wastes. EPA recognizes,
however, that insufficient alternative
treatment capacity exists to handle
these materials. Therefore, EPA Is
granting a two-year national capacity
variance to hazardous wastes mixed
with NORM.
EPA recognized that its information
for the proposed rule on mixed RCRA/
radioactive wastes generated and
managed by non-DOE facilities might
have been incomplete. Consequently,
EPA requested comments by interested
parties on the current generation of
mixed RCRA/radioactive wastes. Of
particular interest to kPa was
information on mixtures of radioactive
wastes and First Second, or Third Third
waste streams. Although several
commenters addressed problems
associated with the storage and disposal
of mixed RCRA/radioactive wastes,
only one commenter indicated that
additional data were available. Hie data
confirm the lack of available treatment
capacity and the commenter supports
the proposed national capacity variance.
Z Determination of Alternative
Capacity and Effective Dates for
Underground Injected Waste.
Today. EPA is prohibiting the
underground injection of virtually all
remaining RCRA section 3004(g) wastes,
including characteristic wastes, for
which no effective dates have been set
EPA is not acting on certain newly listed
or newly identified wastes. In the
proposed rule, EPA solicited comments
on die volumes and characteristics of
the wastes represented in this section,
aB well as any information on the
characteristics and volumes of any
multi-source leachate that is currently
being injected.
EPA received several responses to
this request One commenter submitted
data on the volume of U wastes (20,458
gallons) deepwell injected at its facility
in 1989. However, this facility has
subsequently received approval of its
no-migration petition. Another stated
that 3.3 million gallons of P and U
wastes are underground injected at its
facility. The facility has proved,
however, that this stream qualified for
the mixture rule exception under RCRA
section 281.3(a)(2)(iv), and is therefore
not considered a hazardous waste. One
commenter indicated it was injecting
7,200 tons of D004 waste at one of its
facilities. Further, one commenter stated
that it was injecting a wastewater
containing U115. Additionally, one
commenter submitted an underground
injection well survey. EPA
acknowledges these comments and has
incorporated them appropriately into the
capacity analysis.
EPA also received comments
pertaining to the form of certain wastes.
Several commenters indicated that the .
nonwastewater forms of D002, D003
(reactive cyanide), D007, and K014 were
injected and needed to be included in
the capacity analysis. EPA agrees that
nonwastewaters were not discussed for
many deepwell injected wastes and has
evaluated these waste forms for the
final rulemaking.
a. Effective Date Determinations for
Wastes with Treatment Standards in
Today's Rule
Consistent with the policy established
in previous land disposal restrictions,
EPA is restricting on August 8,1990, the
underground injection of all wastes,
with treatment standards in today's rule,
that are not currently being deepwell-
injected. This decision is consistent with
the intent of RCRA in moving hazardous
wastes away trom land disposal and
toward treatment Wastes that are not
currently being deepwell-injected are
listed in table in.B.2.fa).
The volumes of deepwell-injected
wastes that require alternative
commercial treatment and/or recycling
capacity are presented in table
nLB.2.(b). This table does not include
wastes that are currently being
deepwell-injected by facilities with
appropriate on-site alternative treatment
technologies for treating the waste.
EPA is establishing effective date
determinations for all underground
injected wastes in treatability groups. If
there is adequate available alternative
treatment capacity for all the injected
volume in a single treatability group,
then every waste in that group will be
restricted from underground injection. If
there is inadequate available alternative
treatment capacity for the injected
volume in a single treatability group,
then EPA is allocating as much of the
available capacity to the wastes
requiring treatment All remaining
wastes in the treatability group, for
which no capacity exists, will receive a
two-year national capacity variance.
EPA believes that this is most consistent
with Congressional intent which favors
both treatment over disposal and
minimal use of capacity variances. EPA
specifically solicited comments on this
approach: however no comments were
received during the public comment
period.
EPA recognizes that the effective
prohibition date of the Third Third rule
will critically affect the management of
large volumes of wastes disposed of on-
site in injection wells at a number of
facilities. On-site injection wells are
characterized by direct piping of wastes
from plant operations to the injection
facility. In contrast off-site injection
facilities receive manifested wastes
from other plant operations which are
transported directly to the injection
facility.
The injection wells at on-site facilities
are directiy connected to the plant
operations and, all totaled, handle at
least five billion gallons of hazardous
waste per year. In order to realistically
meet the treatment requirements for the
Third Third rule, the plant managers will
need time to make considerable
logistical adjustments such as repiping,
retooling, and development of
transportation networks at the plant
operation facility. Therefore, EPA does
not believe that treatment capacity is
available if there is no feasible way for
generators to transport their wastes to
the treatment facilities. EPA can
legitimately consider the time necessary
to do this in determining whether to
grant a national capacity variance.
EPA has relied on such logistic factors
in prior rulemakings to determine when
-------
22646 Federal Register / Vol. 55, No. 106 / Friday, June 1, 1990 /
Rules and Regulations
capacity 19 realistically available. EPA
notes that these same logistic factors do
not appear necessary to warrant any
extension for waste sent to off-site
commercial injection facilities as those
for on-site injection facilities. EPA
believes that facilities disposing of
wastes through off-site deepwell
injection already have these plant
adaptations and transportation
networks in place, and therefore do cot
require any extension of the effective
date. Consequently, EPA is using its
authority under section 3004(h) of RCRA
to provide a six-month extension
beyond the May 8.1990 statutory
prohibition date for all Third Third
wastes disposed of at on-site injection
facilities directly connected to plant
operations.
Table m.B.2(c] indicates the amount
of capacity available for treating
underground injected wastes, the
demand from these injected wastes on
each treatability groups, and which
treatability groups require capacity
variances. More information on EPA's
procedure for apportioning treatment
capacity in these treatability groups can
be found in the Third Third Background
Document for the treatability groups.
A number of the following treatability
groups account for relatively small (less
than 100,000 gallons/year) amounts of
underground injected wastes. EPA
believes that these small streams place
little demand on nationwide treatment
capacity.
Presented below are the treatment
technologies EPA used in the capacity -
analysis for all deepwell-injected
wastes. EPA selected these technologies
based on the BDATs used for
establishing the concentration and
technology based standards being
promulgated today. For the capacity
analysis. EPA assigned volumes of
wastes mixed with other wastes to die
appropriate treatment such that the
treatment standards for all Wastes'will
be met. Consequently, some of the
technologies listed below are treatment
trains that include the BDATuSSd to
determine the standard plus another
technology. Table ULB.2.(d) summarizes
the wastes for which EPA is granting a
two-year national capacity variance for
underground injected wastes.

Therefore, EPA is granting a two-year
national capacity variance to D003
(reactive cyanide) wastewaters and
nonwastewaters. This waste will be
restricted from injection on May 8,1992.
(3) Alkaline Chlorination followed by
Chemical Precipitation. Treatment
standards based on alkaline
chlorination and chemical precipitation
are today being promulgated for F006
cyanide wastewaters and P019
wastewaters. As shown in Table
IILB.2.(c)t the available capacity of 0
million gallons is adequate to treat the
quantity of hazardous waste annually
deepwell-injected requiring this type of
treatment EPA is prohibiting these
wastes from underground injection on
August 8,1990. (For facilities with
injection wells directly connected to
plant production operations, the
effective date is November 8,1990, as
discussed at the beginning of this
section).
(4) Biological Treatment For P020,
P048, U002, U009, U019, U031. U112.
U140. U159, U170, U188, U220. and U239,
EPA is promulgating concentration
standards based on biological treatment
for wastewaters. (EPA also determined
that the standards may be met using
wet-air oxidation followed by carbon
adsorption). Because there is adequate
biological treatment capacity for these
deepwell injected wastes, EPA is not
granting a national capacity variance for
them. (For facilities with injection wells
directly connected to plant production
operations, the effective date is
November 8,1990, as discussed at the
beginning of this section.)
' "(5) Chemical Oxidation followed by
Chemical Precipitation. EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
for P122 wastewaters based on chemical
oxidation. For the capacity analysis.
EPA assigned P122 wastewaters to
chemical oxidation followed by
chemical precipitation. EPA has
determined that adequate capacity
exists to treat P122 wastewaters:
therefore, EPA is not granting Pi22
wastewaters a national capacity
variance.
EPA is promulgating deactivation as
the method of treatment for D003
(sulfides), which includes chemical
oxidation. For the capacity analysis,
EPA assigned this waste to chemical
oxidation followed by chemical
precipitation. As indicated in Appendix
VI, EPA has identified other
technologies for treating these wastes.
The aggregate capacity of the additional
technologies is still insufficient for
treating these D003 wastes. Therefore,
EPA is granting a two-year national
capacity variance to D003 (sulfide)
wastewaters and nonwastewaters. This
waste will be restricted from injection
on May 8,1992.
(Q) Chemical Oxidation followed by
Chromium Reduction and Chemical
Precipitation. For D003 (explosives,
water reactives, and other reactives),
EPA is promulgating standards based on
deactivation. EPA did not have data in
sufficient detail to differentiate between
explosives, water reactives and other
reactives. Consequently, for the capacity
analysis, EPA has grouped these wastes
into one group. For the capacity
analysis, EPA assigned all volumes to
rlitmiml oxidation, chromium
reduction, and chemical precipitation.
As indicated in Appendix VI, EPA has
identified other technologies for treating
these wastes. Hie aggregate capacity of
the additional technologies is still
insufficient for treating these D003
wastes. Therefore, EPA is granting a
two-year national capacity variance to
these wastes, restricting D003
(explosives/reactives) wastewaters and
nonwastewaters from underground
injection on May 8.1992.
(7) Chemical Precipitation.
Wastewater forms of DOM, D005, D008,
D008 (lead-non-battery), D009, D010,
DOll, F006, K031, P011, P056, U134, and
U151 represent those wastes best
treated by chemical precipitation. As
shown in table ni.E2.(c), the 331 million
gallons per year of available chemical
precipitation are adequate to treat the
quantity of hazardous waste annually
deepwell-injected requiring this type of
treatment EPA is prohibiting these
wastes from underground injection on
August 8,1990. (For facilities with
injection wells directly connected to
plant production operations, the
effective date is November 8,1990, as
discussed at the beginning of this
section).
(8) Chromium Reduction followed by
Chemical Precipitation. Treatment
standards based on chromium reduction
and chemical precipitation are today
being promulgated for wastewater forms
of D007, F008, K002, POll. and U032. As
shown in Table IIL&2.(c). the 32 million
gallons per year capacity of available
chromium reduction and chemical
precipitation is inadequate to treat the
quantity of hazardous waste annually
deepwell-injected requiring this type of
treatment Excluding D007, however,
adequate capacity exists to treat the
remaining wastes. Therefore, EPA is
granting a two-year national capacity
variance to D007 wastewaters and
nonwastewaters. prohibiting this waste
from underground injection on May 8.
• 1992. For the remaining wastes, no
national capacity variance is being
granted.
(9) Combustion of Liquids.
Combustion of liquids is the standard of
treatment for deepwell injected D001
(ignitable liquids), DOll, D012. D013,
DOM. D015, D016, D017. K032, K083.
K088. K097, P005, P050, P051. P057, P059.
P069, P075, P102. U001, U007, U008,
U012, U019, U034, U037, U044. U045,
U055, U058, U070, U074, U080, U103.
U105, U106, U112, U113, U115, U118,
U122, U133, U138, U147. U154, U157,
U159, U160, U162, U165, U169, U185,
U192, U194. U197, U200, U210, U211,
U219, U220, U226, U227, U228. U239, and
U244. Although U041, U077. U083, U084,
and U213 are also underground injected,
because they will be treated on-site,
their quantities are not included in
required capacity for combustion of
liquids. As shown in table QI.B.2.(c), the
219 million gallons per year of available
capacity are adequate to treat the
quantity of hazardous waste annually
deepwell-injected requiring this type of
treatment Therefore, these wastes will
be restricted from underground injection
on August 8,1990. (For facilities with
injection wells directly connected to
plant production operations, the
effective date is November 8,1990,. as
discussed at the beginning of this
section).
(10) Mercury Retorting. Treatment
standards based on mercury retorting
are being promulgated for
nonwastewaters forms of D009 wastes.
As shown in table m.B.2.(c), the less
than .01 million gallons per year of
available mercury retorting capacity are
inadequate to treat the quantity of this
waste annually deepwell-injected
requiring this type of treatment EPA is
granting a two-year, national capacity
variance to the nonwastewater forms of
D009, restricting this waste from
underground injection on May 8,1992.
(11) Neutralization. EPA is
promulgating deactivation as the
method of treatment for D002
wastewaters and nonwastewaters. For
the capacity analysis, EPA assigned ail
D002 adds and alkalines to
neutralization. As indicated in appendix
VI. EPA has identified other
technologies for treating these wastes.
The aggregate capacity of the additional
technologies is still insufficient for
treating D002 wastewaters and
nonwastewaters. Therefore, EPA is
granting a two-year national capacity
variance for the D002 wastewaters and
nonwastewaters, restricting this waste
from underground injection on May 8,
1992. Deepwell injected D002 liquids
with a pH less than 2.0, which received
a two-year national variance in the
California list"rulemaking, are required
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 53. No. 106 / Friday, June 1, 1990 / Rules and Regulations 22643
to meet the California list treatment
standards on August 8,199a
(12) Stabilization. For residuals
containing D005, DOGS, D007, DOOS [lead-
non-battery). D011. KQ02, K083. K08&,
and U032, stabilization is part of the
treatment train. As shown in Table
IILB.2.(c), the 265 million gallons per
year of available capacity are adequate
to treat the quantity of hazardous waste
residuals requiring this type of
treatment These residuals will be
prohibited from land disposal on August
8.1990. (For facilities with injection
wells directly connected to plant
production operations, the effective date
is November 8.1990, as discussed at the
beginning of this section.)
(13) Wet-Air Oxidation. K011, K013,
and K014. represent all of the
underground injected hazardous wastes
addressed in today's rule that are best
treated by wet-air oxidation. As shown
in table HLB.2.(c), the less than 1 million
gallons of available capacity are
inadequate to treat the quantity of KOI 1
wastewaters, K013 wastewaters, and
KOI4 wastewaters and nonwastewaters
annually deepwell-infected requiring
this type of treatment. Therefore, EPA is
granting a two-year national capacity
variance to the wastewater forms of
K011, K013, and K014, and the
nonwastewater form of KOI4.
prohibiting these wastes from
underground injection on May 8.1992.
(14) Wet-Air Oxidation followed by
Carbon Adsorption. For PQ58
wastewaters, treatment standards based
on wet-air oxidation and carbon
adsorption are being finalized today. As
shown in Table QL&2^c), the less than 1
fttillion gallons of available capacity-are
adequate to treat the quantity of P058
annually deepwell-injected required this
type of treatment therefore, EPA is not
granting a national capacity variance for
this waste. (For facilities with injection
WiUs directly connected to plant
production operations, the effective date
is November 8,1990, as discussed at the
beginning of this section.)
(15} Biological Treatment followed by
Chemical Precipitation or Wet Air
Oxidation followed by Carbon
Adsorption followed byiCft6mical
Precipitation. For F039 (multi-source
leachate) wastewaters, EPA is
promulgating concentration standards
based primarily on biological treatment
followed by chemical precipitation or
wet air oxidation fallowed by carbon
adsorption followed by chemical
precipitation. As shown in table
m.B.2.(c). the approximately 14 million
gallons of available capacity is
insufficient to handle the IS million
gallons of required capacity. EPA notes
that the 14 million gallons of available
capacity is the mnriymim available, as a
portion of this volume is contributed by
a facility that was scheduled to come
on-line in 1688. EPA was unable to
determine whether this facility is
currently operating. Because of the lack
of available capacity, EPA is granting a
national capacity for this waste.
b. Response to Request for Data on
Underground Injected K014
Nonwastewaters.
EPA addressed the underground
injection of K011 and K013
nonwastewaters in the June 8,1989,
Second Third final rule. In that rule, a
two-year national capacity variance
was granted due to the lack of
alternative incineration capacity (>4 FR
26642). Action on K014 nonwastewaters
was deferred so that EPA could evaluate
information on the composition,
characteristics, and volumes associated
with this waste. EPA has received
information indicating that by
definition, K014 nonwastewaters are
being underground injected. Because
inadequate wet-air oxidation capacity
exists to treat K014 nonwastewaters,
EPA is granting a two-year national
capacity variance for the underground
injection of these wastes, restricting
K014 nonwastewaters from underground
injection on May 8,1982.
c. Deepwell Injected Multi-Source
Leachate.
Commenters supported the proposed
capacity variance for underground
injected multi-source leachate. One
commenter provided data or additional
volumes of multi-source leachate that
are underground injected. Consequently,
EPA is updating its estimate of the
volume of underground injected multi-
source leachate by 1.5 million gallons.
EPA estimates that at least IS million
gallons of multi-source leachate
wastewaters are currently deep-well
injected and will require alternative
treatment capacity. EPA believes that
most multi-source leachate currently
underground injected contains both
organic and inorganic constituents. EPA
is promulgating concentration standards
for wastewaters primarily based on
biological treatment followed by
chemical precipitation, or wet-air
oxidation followed by carbon
adsorption followed by chemical
precipitation for organic and inorganic
constituents. Because there is
insufficient capacity to treat
wastewaters based on these treatment
technologies, EPA is granting a two-year
national capacity variance for mnlti-
source leachate that is underground
injected. This waste win be prohibited
from underground injection on May 8.
1962. 7
A Mixed Radioactive Wastes.
EPA requires radioactive wastes
mixed with RCRA-regulated solvents
and dioxins to meet LDRs and treatment
standards established for those solvents
and dioxins when mixed with
radioactive wastes. EPA currently has
no information on mixed radioactive
wastes that are underground injected.
EPA requested comments on mixed
radioactive wastes that are being
underground injected. EPA received no
information indicating that mixed
radioactive wastes were bein'g
underground injected; thus. EPA is cot
granting a national capacity variance for
them. These wastes will be prohibited
from underground injection on August 8,
1990.
3. Capacity Variances for Contcrr.ircted
Soil and Debris
Today, EPA is granting an extension
of the effective date for certain First
Second, and Third Third contaminated
soil and debris for which the treatment
standards are based on incineration,
vitrification, or mercury retorting; EPA is
also granting a national capacity
variance for inorganic solids debris
contaminated with D004 through DOll
wastes. RCRA section 3005(h)(2) allows
the Administrator to grant an extension
to the effective date based on the
earliest date on which adequate
alternative capacity will be available,
but not to exceed two years ". . . after
the effective date of the prohibition
which would otherwise apply under
subsection (d), (e), (f), or fg)." For First
third and Second Third wastes that have
heretofore been subject to the "soft
hammer" provisions (see section I.B&)
but for which treatment standards are
being promulgated today, EPA is
interpreting the statutory language "
* * * effective date of the prohibition
that would otherwise apply" to be the
date treatment standards are
promulgated for these wastes (i.e.. May
8,1990), rather than the date on which
the "soft hammer" provisions took effect
(i.e., August 8,1988, and June 8,1383,
respectively). EPA finds this the best
interpretation for two reasons.
Extensions of the effective date are
based on the available capacity of the
BDAT for the waste, so it is reasonable
that such an extension begin on the date
on which treatment standards based on
performance of the BDAT are
established. Furthermore, EPA does not
intend, in effect to penalize generators
of First Third and Second Third wastes
by allowing less time (i.e., 28 months
and 37 months, respectively) for the
development of needed capacity, while
-------
22650
Federal Register / VoL 55, No. 108 / Friday. June 1. 1690 / Rules and Regulations
generators of Third Third wastes in the
same treatability group are allowed the
maximum 48 months (assuming capacity
does not become available at an earlier
date). The capacity extension will
therefore commence for First Second,
and Third Third wastes on May 8,1990,
and would extend (at maximum) until
May 8. 1992.
For the purpose of determining
whether a contaminated material is
subject to this capacity extension, "soil"
is defined as materials that are primarily
geologic in origin, such as silt loam, or
clay, and that are indigenous to the
natural geological environment In
certain cases, soils will be mixed with
liquids or sludges. EPA will determine
on a case-by-case basis whether all or
portions of such mixtures should be
considered soil (52 FR 31197, November
8,1986).
Debris is generally defined as
materials that are primarily non-geologic
in origin, such as grass, trees, stumps,
shrubs, and man-made materials (e.g~
concrete, clothing, partially buried
whole or crushed empty drums,
capacitors, and other synthetic
manufactured items). Debris may also
include geologic materials (1) identified
as not indigenous to the natural
environment at or near the site, or (2)
identified as indigenous rocks exceeding
a 9.5-mm sieve size that are greater than
10 percent by weight or that are at a
total level that based on engineering
judgment will affect the performance of
available treatment technologies. In
many cases, debris will be mixed with
liquids or sludges. EPA will determine,
on a case-by-case basis whether all or
portions of such mixtures should be
considered debris.
In addition. EPA has established a
specific treatability group for inorganic
solids debriB contaminated with D004
through D011 wastes. Wastes in this
treatability group are defined as follows:
nonfriable inorganic solids that are
incapable of passing through a ftSnnm
standard sieve that requite cashing,
grinding, or cutting in mechanical sizing
equipment prior to stabilisation, limited
to the following inorganic or metal
materials: (1) Metal slags (either dross
or scoria); (2) glassified slag; (3) glass;
(4) concrete (excluding cementitious er
pozzolanic stabilized hazardous
wastes); (5) masonry and refractory
bricks; (8) metal cans, containers,
drums, or tanks; (7) metal nuts, bolts,
pipes, pumps, valves, appliances, or
industrial equipment; ami (8} "scrap
metal" (as defined in 40 CFR 281.1(c)(8))..
EPA has determined that there is
inadequate treatment capacity for all
debris in this treatability group.
Therefore, EPA is granting inorganic
solids debris a national capacity
variance.
Analysis of the TSDR Survey data
indicated that a volume of
approximately 17 million gallons of soil
and debris contaminated with wastes
subject to this rule were land-disposed
in 1986. However, the Superfund
remediation program has expanded
significandy since that time. Plans for
remediation at Superfund sites Indicate
that the excavation of soil and debris
requiring treatment (including
incineration and subsequent land
disposal) will be far greater in 1990 than
in 1988. Because of the major increase in
the Superfund remediation program.
EPA has determined that capacity is not
adequate for incineration, vitrification,
and mercury retorting of Third Third
contaminated soil and debris. In
addition. EPA has determined that there
is insufficient treatment for inorganic
solids debris. Therefore, EPA is granting .
a two-year national capacity variance
for Third Third contaminated soil and
debris for which BDAT is incineration,
vitrification, or mercury retorting, and
all inorganic solids debris.
EPA is also granting a two-year
national capacity variance to all soil
and debris contaminated with mixed
RCRA/radioactive waste. EPA has
estimated that insufficient treatment
capacity exists to handle soil and debris
contaminated with mixed radioactive
waste.
EPA notes that if soil and debris are
contaminated with Third Third
prohibited wastes whose treatment
standard is based on incineration (or
other .technologies for which EPA
determines there is insufficient capacity)
and also with other prohibited wastes . ,
whose treatment standard is based on
an available type of technology, the soil
and debris would remain eligible for the
national capacity variance. This is
because th» contaminated soil and
debris, would still have to be treated by
some form of technology that EPA has
evaluated as being unavailable at
present However, there is one
exception to this principle. If die soil
and debris are contaminated with a
prohibited waste (or wastes) that is no
longer eligible for a national capacity
extension, such as certain types of
prohibited solvent wastes, then the soil
and debris would have to be treated to
meet the treatment standard for that
prohibited waste (or wastes). Any other
interpretation would result in EPA's
extending the date of a prohibition
beyond the dates established by
Congress, and therefore beyond EPA's
legal authority.
C. Ninety Day Capacity Variance for
Third Third Wastes
EPA is delaying the effective date of
the treatment standards in today's rule
for three months, or until August 8,1990
[except for those portions of the rule
delayed because of long-term national
capacity variances). EPA is taking this
step because the Third Third rule is of
unusual breadth (approximately 350
waste codes affected, plus all
characteristic wastes, multi-source
leachate, and mixed wastes),
complexity, and difficulty. Persons
having to comply must not only
determine what the treatment standards
are for their wastes, but must also
grapple with the interplay between
standards for listed and characteristic
wastes, certain new interpretations
regarding permissible and impermissible
dilution, and certain new tracking
requirements for characteristic wastes.
Although the Agency has made all
efforts legally available to communicate
its resolution of some of these matters in
advance of the May 8,1990, prohibition
date, most members of the regulated
community are just receiving notice of
the requirements with which they must
comply. It takes some reasonable
amount of time to determine what
compliance entails, as well as time to
redesign tracking documents, possibly
adjust facility operations, and possibly
segregate wastestreams which
heretofore had been centrally treated.
EPA believes that these legitimate
delays are encompassable within the
concept of a short-term national
capacity variance because part of the
notion of available capacity is the
ability, to get wastes to the treatment
capacity in a lawful manner.
Accordingly, the Agency is granting a
short-term national capacity variance
for three months.
The Agency emphasizes that during
this variance, all Third Third wastes,
that remain hazardous and that are
being disposed of in landfills or surface
impoundments may only be disposed of
in landfill or impoundment units that
meet the minimum technology standards
set out in S 288J3(h)(2). (See also section
m.D of today's preamble explaining that
a different principle holds for prohibited
wastes that are now nonhazardous.) In
addition, the recordkeeping
requirements of existing 40 CFR 268.7
(a)(4) and (b)(6) will apply during this
period. These provisions require a
certification that a restricted waste is
not subject to a prohibition for
enumerated reasons, such as existence
of a national capacity variance. EPA
does not intend, however, that
-------
Federal Register / Vol 55. No. 106 / Friday, June 1. 1990 / Rules and Regulations
22651
recordkeeping requirements apply to
characteristic wastes that have been,
treated to meet the treatment standard
daring this three-month period. The new
recordkeeping requirements applicable
to these situations in fact do not take
effect for three months based on the
Agency's determination that it will take
that long to understand how to use
them. Thus, tracking documents would
only be required for restricted wastes
that are hazardous wastes when sent •
'off-site. In addition, all existing
treatment requirements (e£* California
list requirements applicable during the
period of a capacity extension) are
applicable from May 8,1990 to August 8,
199a
D. Applicability of Land Disposal
Restrictions
1. introduction
Under RCRA, wastes can be
designated as "hazardous" in one of two
ways: (1) they may be specifically listed
based on EPA's evaluation of factors set
out in 40 CFR 261 subpart B ("listed
wastes"), or (2) they may be considered
.hazardous because they exhibit certain
indicator characteristics set out in 40
CFR part 281 subpart C ("characteristic
wastes").
A central issue in this rulemaking
concerns EPA statutory authority to
require full treatment for characteristic
wastes. Some industry commenters
argue that EPA lacks Jurisdiction over
characteristic wastes if the indicator
characteristic is removed before land
disposal. Environmentalists and the
treatment industry, on the other hand,
- argue thatEPA must in. all cases,..
require treatment of characteristic
wastes in the same it would for
listed wastes. EPA disagrees with both
positions. Rather, EPA believes that the
statute provides EPA ample authority to
determine whether additional treatment
beyond removal of the characteristic is
necessary for particular types of wastes
to achieve the goals of the. statute.
In some cases, EPA is requiring
additional treatment beyond removing
the characteristic; in others, EPA deems
removal of the characteristic itself to be
sufficient especially where no toxic "
contaminants are specifically identified:
. finally, in several cases, EPA has
determined that there is only sufficient
information in the record to Justify -
treatment requirements to the
characteristic levels at this time. For .
theserespective wastes, data in the
administrative record is not adequate to
determine whether treatment below
characteristic levels is feasible to
minimize threats to human health and .
the environment for the wide range of
differing waste matrices encompassed
by a single characteristic waste code. In
these respective cases, EPA is
establishing a treatment level based on
its best Judgment on the information
currently available, and will review its
decision in light of new information in
tha future.
Another critical issue is whether or
not to prohibit dilution of characteristic
wastes as part of die IDR program. As
discussed below, to some circumstances ¦
a dilution prohibition is important to.
ensure actual treatment of the waste.
EPA is applying a dilution prohibition to
wastes which exhibit a characteristic at.
the point of generation, with two
exceptions.He first exception to the
dilution prohibition is for characteristic
wastes treated for purposes of CWA
requirements. CWArequirements,
including CWA dilution rules, serve
goals similar to die LOR dilution rules.
Relying on the CWA dilution rules will
generally accomplish the goals of the
LDR program without creating potential
inconsistencies or duplication in EPA's
regulations. A second general exception
to the LDR prohibitions is for
characteristic wastes that are
subsequently diluted and disposed in
injection wells authorized under the
SDWA. This exclusion is based, in part,
on EPA's evaluation that the disposal of
dilute^ unhazardous wastes into
appropriately confined Injection zones
would not constitute a threat to human
health and the environment EPA's
decision also is based on the
unnecessary regulatory burden that
would ensue from application of the .
LDR prohibitions on the SDWA program
regulating nonhazardous well disposaL
A more detailed discussion of EPA's
rationale and decision rules follow.
2. Legal Authority over Characteristic
Wastes
a. Introduction. One of the most
fundamental issues in this rulemaking is
whether the prohibition on the land
disposal of untreated characteristic
wastes applies at the point of generation
or at die point of land disposaL The
choice of approach will affect EPA's
ability to establish methods of treatment
(rather than allowing dilution to meet a
level), to apply a dilution prohibition, to
require treatment of constituents other
than those specifically addressed by the
characteristic, and to establish
treatment levels below characteristic
levels.
This issue arises from current
regulatory distinctions between
characteristic hazardous wastes and
listed hazardous wastes. Listed wastes,
and wastes derived from the storage,
treatment and disposal of listed wastes.
remain hazardous for all regulatory
purposes unless that waste is
spetifically delisted by Agency approval
of a delisting petition under 40 CFR
260.22. Thus, a listed hazardous waste
remains hazardous from the point of
generation through the point of land
disposal unless specifically delisted.
In contrast a characteristic hazardous
waste is no longer deemed hazardous
when it ceases to exhibit a hazardous
waste characteristic. 40 CFR 261.3(d)(1).
However, as discussed below, the
characteristic level is only one indicator
of hazard and, thus, removal of the
specific characteristic is not the same as
assuring that the waste is safe. Until
today, a hazardous waste characteristic
could be removed by treatment;
however, it could also be removed by
simple mixing or dilution. Thus, if LDR
requirements were applied only to
wastes which exhibit a characteristic at
the point of land disposaL EPA would be
unable to require full treatment or, in
some cases, any legitimate treatment of
wastes which exhibit a characteristic at
the point of generation.
EPA's proposed approach for both
treatment standards and applying a
dilution prohibition for characteristic
wastes received many comments. Most
commenters expressed concern about
the regulatory impact of these rules on
land disposal facilities regulated under
RCRA subtide D. There was particular
concern over the impact of the proposed
rules on existing wastewater treatment
trains regulated under the Pre treatment
and National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) programs,
pursuant to sections 307(b) and 402 of
the CWA, which use surface
impoundments not regulated under
RCRA subtide C. In addition, there were
many comments concerning the impact
of the proposed rules on the SDWA
program for nonhazardous injection
wells.
As discussed below, Congress has
. given apparendy conflicting guidance on
how the Agency should address land
disposal prohibitions for characteristic
wates. EPA believes it has authority to
reconcile these potential conflicts and to
harmonize statutory provisions to forge
a coherent regulatory system. (See
RCRA Section 1006(b)—"The
Administrator shall integrate all
provisions of (RCRA) for the purposes of
administration and enforcement and
shall avoid duplication to the mnvtmnm
extent practicable, with the appropriate
provisions of the (CWA and SDWA)".)
Within this authority EPA seeks to
further the policy of section <3004(m) to
treat hazardous waste prior to land
disposaL However, EPA may also take
-------
99*S9 Federal Register / VoL 55, No. 108 / Friday. June t 1990 / Rules and Regulations
steps to address problems that could
arise from integration of LDR
prohibitions ia the context of the RCRA
Subtitle D. CWA and SDWA programs.
A more detailed discission of the legal
authority for this approach is provided
below.
. b. General Standard for Agency
Construction of Statutes. Chevron
UiLA. inc. T. NRDC, 467ILS. 837 (1884)
sets forth a two-step process for
determining whether to sustain an
agency's statutory interpretations. First
a court determines whether Congress

-------

waste prohibitions. Section 3004(d)(1)(C)
(emphasis added). Urns, EPA believes it
has statutory authority to take into
account all aspects of a waste stream in
determining appropriate treatment and
is not limited to considering merely one
specific "characteristic" that indicates
that die waste is hazardous in the first
hirtaniw.
EPA also has general authority under
RCRA section 3004 (a)(3) to establish
different criteria for determining when
wastes will enter and exit the hazardous
waste management system—La, when
they will initially be dtHjinfad as
hazardous waste end when they no
longer require RCRA subtitle C
management controls. For example, the
dean-closure standards for regulated
units diet hold characteristic wastes
require removal.of baz&riswfc—'
- ^CEtftfcrfients even if the waste no longer
exhibits a hazardous characteristic. See
53 FR 8705 (March 19,1987). EPA also
has previously promulgated regulations
requiring that incinerators treating
hazardous waste be operated to a
certain efficiency even if a characteristic
waste in die waste feed ceases to
exhibit a characteristic somewhere in
the combustion process.
EPA believes that under the first test
in Chevron, Congress has neither
-mandfitedaorprepluded a poMot.
generation approach. In this case the
"meaning or reach of a statute involve[s]
reconciling conflicting-policies."
Chevron, 467 U.S. at S46 (citation
omitted). Moreover, "a full
' understanding of the force of the.
statutory policy in the given situation
¦ has depended upon more than ordinary
knowledge respecting die subject
' matters subjected to agency
regulations." Id. Accordingly, EPA'
should make choices which represent "a
reasonable accommodation of
conflicting policies that were committed
to the agency's care by statute." Id.
In this regard, section 1006(b) of
RCRA provides EPA authority to
integrate provisions of RCRA and other
acts it administers, including the CWA
and SDWA, for purposes of
administration and enforcement Such
intonation must be consistent with die -
goals and policies of these acts. Under
this framework, EPA can analyze
potential overlaps between regulatory
programs in its decision-making. Where
the goals are consistent and uniform
administration or enforcement is
preferable, EPA may rely on one
regulatory framework instead of
applying potentially duplicative or
inconsistent regulations. Accordingly,
the Agency believes that it can .
harmonize potentially conflicting
policies by considering both the benefits
of a given approach and any regulatory
problems (including regulatory overlap)
that would be engendered by the
approach. The balancing may thus result
in different application of LDR .
requirements for certain classes of
facilities.
d. Agency Framework far Addressing
Treatment Standards for Characteristic
Wastes and Integrating (hem With
Other Regulatory Programs. The Agency
believes that it has authority to apply
LDR requirements at die point of waste
generation for characteristic wastes and
that such an approach will generally
better achieve the goals of the LDR
program. Specifically, EPA. believes it
has the authority ta g&tantaaaft fords
JD^rowf&e characteristic levels, to
specify methods of treatment and to
prohibit dilution for characteristic
wastes where necessary and
appropriate to further the goals of .the
statute. EPA recognizes, however, that
there are many far-reaching policy
considerations respecting the actnal
Implementation of this approach; For
example, a point of generation approach
could apply to management of waste
prior to RCRA subtitle D land disposal.*
LDR standards which require waste to
be treated to belotiTcharacteristic levels
would apply to wastes currently
destined for RCRA subtitle D facilities.
Application of the LDR provisions
would be a very significant change in
the regulatory scheme for these
facilities, and could cause major
administration and enforcement
problems far both EPA and these
facilities. For example. EPA currently
has no authority to enforce subtitle D
criteria against subtitle D facilities, and,
hence has no enforcement program for
these facilities. In order to ensure that
these facilities met the subtide C
requirements, the Agency would have to
implement an enforcement scheme that
addressed thousands of subtitle D
facilities. In addition, owners end

facilities.® As noted in the proposal at 54
FR 48491. some of these problems may
be addressed by future regulatory
revisions. EPA will continue to evaluate
this issue as it addresses standards for
the wastes identified by the new
Toxicity Characteristic (TC).
In addition, many of these potentially
affected subtitle D units contain wastes
that are regulated, in part, under the
National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) and
pre treatment programs under sections
301,304,307, and 402 of the CWA and
the Underground Injection Control (UIC)
program under the SDWA. Requiring
treatment below characteristic levels or
imposing a dilution prohibition would
reqpin dgziSfiiant changes to the
operations of these facilities and create
problems of regulatory integration.
This is not to say that the section
3004(m) objectives carry little weight
with respect to characteristic wastes.
On die contrary, particularly with
respect to toxic wastes, these policies
are of critical importance. Moreover,
many of these potential
implementational problems may be
addressed by future rulemakings.
Section 1006(b) of RCRA requires the
Agency to integrate "for the purposes of
administration and enforcement" RCRA
subtitle C with the goals and policies of
other portions of RCRA, as well as other
statutes administered by EPA. In light of
this requirement and the absence of any
clear Congressional directive to apply
LDR requirements directly to subtitle D
facilities, the Agency must ask itself
whether the benefits of treating below
characteristic levels warrant the serious
implementation problems such as those
discussed above. This is particularly
true where the administrative record
contains inadequate data to set levels
below the characteristic level for the
many waste matrices represented by a
single characteristic waste code.
However, where the data is adequate,
- EPA believes it can successfully
implement treatment requirements
beyond removal of the characteristic, on
a case-by-case basis, without significant
disruptions to other regulatory programs
to further the goals of section 3004(m) by
requiring treatment beyond removal of
the characteristic. EPA is prepared to
reevaluate these issues in future
rulemakings based on further
information and experience with
implementing the LDR program.

believes it only has sufficient St- —
this time, to establish treatment levels at

above.
. This section sets forth EPA's approach
for developing treatment standards for -
each category of characteristic-wastes.
The Agency based its decisions on the
data available at the time of this
rulemaking. See RCRA section
3004(d)(1). EPA plans to re-examine
these standards as new information
becomes available. In addition, EPA will
develop additional standards for the
newly-identified wastes in theloxidty
characteristic rule.
Today's rale reflects a decision to
take limited, but nonetheless significant
steps within the point of generation
framework. As * general matter, the
Agency believes that the goals of
section 3004(m) may require application
of standards which go beyond die
characteristic level (subject to
harmonization with section 3004(g)
policies) in some future cases. EPA
intends in the rulemaking for TC wastes
to evaluate more stringent treatment
levels for more treatability groups. This
would potentially require lower levels
for characteristic constituents and
treatment of other hazardous
constituents in a given characteristic
waste matrix. Tin phased approach in
today's ride is consistent with die
principle that an agency is entided to
the highest deference in deciding die
sequence and grouping in which it
addresses issues. Hazardous Waste

(1) Taxic Wastewaters. EP toxic
inorganic wastewaters are primarily
destined for NPDES wastewater -
treatment systems, pre treatment
systems and UIC injection wells. Given
current data EPA could set treatment
levels about an order of magnitude
below die characteristic levels for some
of die EP toxic metal wastewaters.
Imposing treatment standards below the
characteristic level, however, could
have the effect of invalidating legitimate
methods of treatment involving surface
impoundments that are part of CWA
wastewater treatment trains
(equalization basins used to equalize
flows to centralized chemical
precipitation and sedimentation
treatment for example). A treatment
standard below characteristic levels

This would be so even though the
fanpoimdment might treat the waste for
purposes of CWA requirements. In
effect this could move BAT/PSES
standards from end-of-pipe to in-
process, requiring facilities to change
their existing wastewater treatment
systems or comply with internal waste
stream requirements that would overlap
with CWA requirements. Imposing such
standards on Class I non-hazardous UIC
disposal coujdinterferewith.protective
disposal practices with no
corresponding environmental benefit
(see discussion on dilution below).
As a result EPA is not imposing
treatment standards below
characteristic levels for such
wastewaters. Based on the information
in die rulemaking record virtually all
wastewaters are managed in the context
of CWA treatment impoundments or
UIC wells.11
(2) Taxic nonwastewaters. With
respect to nonwastewaters exhibiting
the EP characteristic for metals, EPA
determined that BDAT is based on
vitrification of stabilization. These
technologies are matrix-dependent types
of treatment When considering
characteristic wastes, the amount of
diversity within a single waste code is
typically extensive. TUs is because,
unlike listed wastes, the characteristics
do not identify wastes from single
processes, single industries, or single
chemical species, but rather can come
from virtually any process or industry.
u If EPA should receive information in the future
indicating that signfflcant volumes of wastewater is
land disposed tn another context EPA will
reevaluate the issae of setting treatment levels
lower than the characteristic level for EP todc
metals Again EPA is ntflUng its considerable

HWTCm supra. 881F. 2d at ZBT.
-------
Federal Register / VoL 55, Ne. 106 / Friday, June 1, 1890 / Rules, and Regulations 22655
Using available data, it is not possible in
this rulemaking, due to lack of time and
data on this diverse universe, to
subcategorize each characteristic waste
into treatability groups designed
specifically for certain industries or
processes. Thus, in considering what
treatment standards are achievable for
EP toxic metal nonwaste waters, die
Agency had to develop uniform
standards based on BDAT technology
that constitute all or most of the wastes
identified by the characteristic.
As discussed in section IDA. of the
preamble, the Agency is confident that
these wastes can be treated at least to
characteristiclevels. However, the
Agency is unable to treatment standards
below the' characteristic level are
achievable for all of such wastes.
Certainly, as shown by data submitted
by the waste treatment industry and
other commenters, some samples in
these waste categories can be treated to
levels below the characteristic, and
some to levels well below (an order of
magnitude or more, in some cases). The
Agency does not believe that these data
are sufficiently representative, however,
to warrant extrapolation to all waste
matrices under a given waste code.1*
See discussion in section IDA.
In reviewing the additional data
submitted by commenters, the Agency
was struck by the amount of diversity
. often present in the treatment data for a
particular characteristic, not only
confinning the-matrix-dependent nature
of the technology, but the difficulty of
finding a single numerical standard that
~~ would be~genera]ly achievable for all
wastes in that particular metal waBte
code. Another problem confirmed by
data is that many wastes exhibit
characteristics for more than one metal
and optimized treatment for one metal
can preclude optimized treatment for
another. Yet virtually all of the metal
treatability data in this record is for
treating only one metaL
Even if the Agency had enough data
to require treatment below the
characteristic levels for these wastes, it
would likely have to establish specific
treatability groups within die individual
codes (as done today to a limited
extent). Many of the difficulties in
assessing data noted briefly above, and
discussed in detail in the sections on
each characteristic metal, appear to be
industry or process specific. It should be
noted that the Agency expects that
treatment will result in levels slightly
"The treatment isdnstry data, fur example, was
often deficient in sscb infoimatioa as to whether -
and how concentrated characteristic wastes are
and back for flffarti
resulting from pretreatment mixing. Sm section IDA.
below the characteristic levels in any
case. This is because most treatment
technologies cannot easily be "turned
off" at precisely the characteristic level
and, thus, EPA believes the requirement
to treat to the characteristic level will
often result in further treatment
- For EP toxic pesticide
nonwastewatere, treatment is based on
a non-matrix dependent technology that
can reduce hazardous constituent levels
to orders of magnitude below the
characteristic leveL Thus, the types of
difficulties posed for EP metals-
assessing treatment achievability for a
wide variety of wastes treated by a
matrix-dependent technology—are not
presented for pesticide wastes.
Moreover, the pesticide wastes are
potent carcinogens, so that removing the
uncertainties of the threats they pose
when land disposed is highly desirable.
The Agency, thus, is establishing
treatment standards for these wastes
based on performance of optimized
destruction technology. EPA does not
believe the general regulatory
difficulties in implementing
requirement to treat below
characteristic levels are significant in
the context of subtitle D facilities as
there is a limited amount of this waste
in existence and the destruction of the
toxic constituents is a clear benefit over
other treatment approaches..
(3) Other Characteristic wastes. As
discussed in section IDA* for most
corrosive, reactive, and igni table
characteristic wastes, the Agency has
determined that the appropriate
treatment for these wastes is to remove
the characteristic. The environmental
concerns from the properties of
ignitability, corrosivity, and reactivity
are different from the environmental
concern from EP toxic wastes. Toxic
constituents can pose a cumulative
impact on land disposal even where
waste is below the characteristic level
Where wastes pose an ascertainable
toxicity concern, afe with high TOC
igni table wastes, and cyanide-bearing
and sulfide-bearing reactive wastes, the
Agency has developed treatment
standards that address the toxicity
concern and (in effect) require treatment
below the characteristic level As
discussed in section ISA* this-epproach
is important to address toxic
constituents in this waste. EPA does not
believe the regulatory problems in
implementing standards for this limited
number of streams will be significant
Otherwise, treatment that removes the
properties of ignitability. corrosivity,
and reactivity, fully addresses the
environmental concern from die
properties themselves. Further
discussion is contained in the preamble
dealing with each specific characteristic.
b. Regulatory Problems. In reaching
the approach set forth in today's rule,
EPA has considered the advantages of
additional treatment with the
difficulties in (1) implementing a
requirement to treat below
characteristic levels and (2) the effect of
such a rule on overlapping federal
environmental programs.
The characteristic leviel evaluated at
the point of disposal serves to
distinguish certain disposal practices
and facilities from other permitting and
regulatory requirements under Subtitle
C of RCRA. Many commenters argued
that there are significant advantages to
providing a clear regulatory boundary
which serves, in most cases, to separate
the jurisdiction of different
environmental programs. As discussed
above, LDR provisions that apply to
require treatment beyond removal of the
characteristic might require complicated
tracking and enforcement provisions
that would apply at many subtitle D
disposal facilities which are currently
not subject to any subtitie C
requirements. The most complicated of
such requirements would involve
enforcing levels below the characteristic
levels. To enforce and implement such
requirements, EPA would potentially
need to expand the universe of disposal
facilities covered by the LDR provisions
to perhapB thousands of facilities.
Requiring levels of treatment below
the characteristic level would also have
specific disruptive impact on practices
regulated, in part under the CWA. In
effect a treatment standard below
characteristic levels would need to be
met prior to placement in a surface
impoundment used in the treatment
process. EPA estimates that up to 2000
nonhazardous treatment impoundments
could be affected by a requirement for
treatment below characteristic levels.
There are other difficulties in applying
treatment standards below
characteristic levels to injection wells
regulated under the SDWA which are
described in detail below.
EPA does not believe that the current
technical data in the record justifies
treatment levels below characteristic
levels for the nonwastewater EP toxic
metals. Thus, EPA has not engaged in an
extensive balancing of regulatory
integration problems for the wastes in
this rule. For the EP toxic pesticides,
EPA believes treatment to the levels
provided for in the BDAT incineration
technology is important to destroy these
particularly dangerous pesticides.
Because there is a limited amount of.
these pesticides, EPA believes the -
-------
22856 Federal Register / Vol 55, No. 106 / Frtday, June 1. 1990 / Rules and Regulations
environmental considerations outweigh
any difficulties in implementing the LOR
requirement to treat below the
characteristic level. For wastewaters,
EPA believes the regulatory difficulties
in integrating the CWA and SDWA
programs outweigh, the limited benefit
from additional treatment based on the
current information. Finally, EPA has set
requirements to removecertain toxic
constituents from certain ignitable and
reactive wastes. Some of these
treatment requirements are in the form,
of methods which are discnssed-below.
Again, EPA believes the environmental
benefit in terms of treatment outweights
die regulatory problems in providing
such standards for these wastes because
of the limited circumstances involving
such wastes.
4. Methods of treatment
a. Environmental Considerations. EPA
has express authority to specify
methods of treatment as the treatment
standard. As discussed above, this
necessarily entails a point of generation
approach. Imposition of these treatment
methods normally results in more than
the removal of the characteristic and

7. Exemption from LDR Prohibitions for
Characteristic Wastes Disposed Below
Characteristic Levels in Wells Regulated
under the SDWA
' a. Introduction. EPA has set out a
regulatory program under sections 1421,
1422, and 1425 of the SDWA which
CTH»aina "minimum requirements for
effective programs to prevent
underground injection which endangers
HHwirfng water sources." 42 U.S.C.

location, construction* and operating
requirements set out at 40 CFR parts 144
and 146. In addition, EPA may authorize
states to administer the UIC program. 40
CFR parts 145 and 147. There are
approximately 400 such wells currently
injecting only nonhazardous waste.
The large facilities that have these
wells often mix waste streams and '
through this mixing remove the
characteristic prior to disposal. A
dilution prohibition would require
restructuring of these facilities.
Alternatively, die facilities could apply
for a "no migration" variance under 40
CFR part 146.
b. Environmental Considerations.
LDR dilution rules for wastes currently
disposed of below the characteristic
levels in UIC wells would be limited to
toxic wastes. As discussed below, EPA
is generally providiggthat treatment of
ignitable, corrosive or reactive
wastewater may be accomplished.
simply by remoying the characteristic.
This could be accomplished by mixing.
(There are a few exceptions discussed in
the specific discussion on treatment
standards.) These general standards are
based on EPA's technical evaluation of
appropriate treatment for purposes of
3004{m) regardless of the disposal
scenario. Tims, for these particular
characteristic wastes, the application of
the part 2&8 dilution prohibition to
operators of nonhazardous waste
injection wells would not require any 1
additional treatment beyond what is
already occurring. Moreover, there is a
very limited amount of the pesticide
wastes D012-17, and EPA is unaware of
deepwell injection practices for these
wastes. Thus, die characteristic wastes
of concern'for UIC wells in this rule are
those that exhibit the characteristic of
EP toxicity for metals at the point of
generation.
EPA believes that die application of
dilution rules to these wastes, would not

health and the environment
Specifically, EPA believes that disposal
of these metals by underground injection
at the characteristic level is as sound as
the treatment option. Native formation

R Implementation ofRequirements for
Characteristic Wastes .. ,
In today's final rule, the Agency is
promulgating several new provisions
concerning implementation of the land
disposal restrictions for characteristic .
wastes. Specifically, the Agency is < •">
amending 40, CTR26&7 and adding 40
CFR26&9 to incorporate recordkeeping
requirements and special rales for -
characteristic wastes, and is revising die
current regulations is parts 281 and 282
regarding theidentification and
management of wastes that exhibit a
characteristic. In addition, die Agency is
clarifying which requirements apply
during the period of a national capacity
variance both to wastes that ate - -
prohibited oh the basis of exhibiting a .
characteristic only, and to wastes that
have applicable treatment standards as
both listed and characteristic wastes.
Finally, the Agency is clarifying whether
to apply the TCLP or EP analytical
methods to verify compliance with the .
treatment standards.
1. Overlap of Treatment Standards for
Listed Wastes that also Exhibit a
Characteristic!'
. The Agency Is today promulgating its
I approach with respect to
determining applicable treatment
standards for wastes that cany more
than one waste code.
(1) Forwastes that cany mote than
one characteristic waste code, the waste
must be treated to meet the treatment
standard for each characteristic:
(2) If a listed waste also exhibits one
or more hazardous characteristics, the
waste must be treated to-meet the
treatment standard for each of be waste
codes with one exception. Under that
exception, if the relevant constituents or
narrative characteristics are specifically
addressed in the treatment standard for
die listed waste, then the standard for ;
the listed waste operates in lieu of the '
standard for the relevant
characteristic's). • —
One commenter suggested that EPA -
should require treatment incompliance-
with die most stringent treatment
standard rather than the most waste-
specific treatment standard. The Agency
disagrees, and EPA is following the
general principle set out in previous -
rulemakings that the more specific -
treatment standard takes precedence.
This is the principle EPA adopted with '
respect to California list wastes that are
covered by another treatment standard,
an analogous situation.See 52 FR 2S773
and 25776 (July 8,1987). At the same
time, when a listed waste exhibits a
characteristic that is not addressed by
the listed waste's treatment standard,
EPA believes it is necessary for that
characteristic to be treated to meet the
characteristic treatment standard.
Hie Agency received several
comments indicating that subjecting
listed wastes to treatment standards for
characteristics is a major shift in the
current regulatory program. As stated in
die proposed rule, the Agency believes
that to ignore the characteristic would
mean that the Third Third prohibition
for that characteristic is being ignored,
and that with respect to that constituent
die waste's toxicity or mobility is either
not being reduced or not being
minimized. Since this outcome would -
satisfy neither the statutory language
nor its policy. EPA is requiring
treatment As with the California list
wastes, EPA is applying this principle at
the point of generation, since otherwise
the treatment standard for the
characteristic constituent could be
ignored by removing the characteristic.
EPA is consequently promulgating new
requirements in § 26&A (b] and (c) as
proposed.
. EPA is further promulgating
provisions specifying that disposal of a
waste which at the point of disposal
exhibits a characteristic is prohibited
unless the treatment standard for that
characteristic component is above the
characteristic level: This approach is
again essentially the same as that which
EPA adopted for the analogous situation
involving California list wastes (see 52
FR 2S787), and is needed to ensure that
die statutory prohibition against
disposal of characteristic hazardous
pastes is not violated.
2. Revisions to Waste Identification
Requirements
A consequence of die Agency*d
interpretation that the prohibition for
characteristic wastes can apply
concurrently to wastes that also are
listed is a change in the initial
determination mat a generator must
make pursuant to 9 282.11. That section
presently sets out an either/or scheme
where if the generator determines that a
waste is listed, the generate? does not
need to determine whether die waste
exhibits a characteristic (40 CFR 282.11
(b)'and (c)). For purposes of compliance
' with part 268, however, the generator
would need to know if the waste .
exhibits a characteristic, even if the
waste is listed, because further
treatment of the waste is required if the
treatment standard for the listed waste
does not address the characteristic
property. Consequently, EPA is
amending section 282.11 to indicate" that
generators must determine whether
listed wastes also exhibit characteristics
of hazardous waste for purposes of
compliance with part 288.
In addition. 99 281.21—261^4 indicate
that wastes that exhibit the respective
characteristics and are not listed have
the designations D001-D017. However,
as discussed above, generators (and
other handlers) will need to know both
the listed waste code and the
characteristic waste code in the event a
listed waste also exhibits a
characteristic which is not addressed by
the treatment standard for the listed
waste. EPA is consequently amending
the language in these sections to
indicate that wastes that cany
characteristic waste codes may also be
listed wastes.
3. Wastes Subject to a Capacity
Variance
RCRA section 3004(h)(4) states that
during periods of national capacity
variances and case-by-case extensions,
hazardous wastes subject to those
extensions that are disposed in landfills
and surface impoundments may only be
dispose ±of if the landfill or surface
impoundment is in compliance with the
minimum technological requirements of
section 3004(o). EPA has interpreted this
language to mean that the landfill or
impoundment unit receiving such wastes
must be in compliance with the
minimum technological requirements,
9 288£(h)(2), and this interpretation was
sustained in Mobil Oil v. EPA. 871F. 2d
149 (D.C. Cir. 1989).
Under the present rule, it is possible
for prohibited characteristic wastes
subject to a national capacity variance
to become nonhazardous. For example,
certain D009 mercury wastes are subject
to a two-year national capacity
variance. It during the period of the
variance, such a waste was treated to be
nonhazardous by a means other than
retorting and was disposed of in a
landfill or surface impoundment
arguably the landfill or impoundment
unit would have to meet the minimum
technological requirements.
EPA doetf not read the statute or the
rules this way. Rather, section 3004(h)(4)
only requires compliance "with the
requirements of subsection (o)." Section
3004(o), in turn, only applies to units
subject to SubtiUe G. See also
9 288.5(h)(2), which likewise imposes -
minimum technological requirements
only on landfill and impoundment units
that are permitted or that have interim
status. Consequently, EPA dot" not.

interpret these provisions as requiring
subtideD landfill and surface

wastes during a nations! capacity

Finally, for wastes that are subfectto

Agency- is clarifying that.during the.
period of a national capacity variance

waste. Therefore, at a mftrJmtmi, the
waste most be treated to meet the

standards still apply, end the KM8
waste must meet the prohibitions far
characteristic wastes. The K048
treatment standard would then become
applicable when the national capacity
variance expires. See S3 FR 31188.
Furthermore, if such Bated/
characteristic wastes have been treated
so that they no longer exhibit any
characteristic and are to-be disposed of
on a surface impoundment or landfill,
the unit must meet the minimum
technology requirements set out in
section 3004{o), as required for listed
wastes during die period of a national
capacity variance.
4. Use pt TCLP v. EP Analytical Methods
for Compliance
The Agency proposed two
alternatives fat the proposed rate, that
treatment standards for characteristic
wastes either be a numerical standard
(typically lower then the characteristic
levial) oi be established at "the
characteristic leveL" See. e.g* 54 PR
48430/3. If the latter alternative were
adopted, the Agency did not specify
whether Un characteristic level would
be measured fay the EP test or by the
TCLP. The Agency did indicate in a
somewhat different context, however,
that it strongly prefers to use the TCLP
to measure compliance wherever
possible Id. at48432/3.
As stated in section OLD of today's
preamble, EPA is establishing treatn)eni
standards for most characteristic wastes
at the characteristic leveL The Agency
has determined that this level should be
measured by tha TQJP. This is die
protocol that large quantity generators
will use to assess this toxicity of their
wastes starting, on September 25,1890
and small quantity generators will begin
using on March 2&198L It ia also the
protocol used to measure the efficacy of
stabilization or other immobilization
treatment in most of the BDAT
standards. Most of the data submitted in
response to the Agency's proposal were
basied on the TCLP to measure treatment
performance, and these data indicate
(with a few exceptions) that treatment
to the characteristic level, as measured
by the TCLP. is achievable^ (These data,
incidentally, woe available for reply
comments, and the Agency received
dozens of reply comments on the data.)
Furthermore, if EPA were to establish
the EP as the protocol to measure
compliance with metal standards, then
regulated entities would have to subject
many wastes to both die EP (for
purposes of land disposal restriction
compliance) and the TCLP (for waste -
identification purposes). The Agency
prefers not to impose this type of
duplicative burden. Accordingly, the
Agency is adopting the TCLP as the
means of measuring compliance with the
metal standards for toxic characteristic
Third Third wastes in this rale, with two
exceptions. For lead characteristic
nonwastewaters and all
nonwastewaters containing arsenic as
the primary hazardous constituent (io,
D004, KQ31, K084, K101, KlQZ, P010,
P011, P012, P038, P038, and U136], the
Agency is specifying that if a waste does
not achieve' the nonwastewater
standard based on analysis of a TCLP
extract but does achieve the standard
based on analysis of an EP extract the
waste is in compliance with the
standard. The Agency is taking this
action because fee performance data
used to develop the treatment standards
for these wastes were based on EP
toxicity leachate data. A more detailed
discussion is provided in section QLA of
today's preamble.
5. Newly Identified TC Wastes
There ia one final interpretive point
dealing with die interplay of the EP and
the new TCLP. EPA interprets the
statute such that wastes that exhibit the
toxicity characteristic by the TCLP but
not the EP are not presently prohibited,
even if the constitueat cauatng the waste
to exhibit the TCLP is also a constituent
controlled by the EP. This is because
such wastes are newly identified
. pursuant to RCRA section 3004(gX4);
they were identified as hazardous after
November 7.1884.
6. Further Principles Governing
Applicability
a. Other Statutory Exemptions or
Exclusions. The issues in this
rulemaking concerning when hazardous
wastes become prohibited from lend
disposal does not change the status of
other regulatory or statutory inclusions
or exclusions to the definition of solid or
hazardous waste found at 40 CFR 281.2-
.6. These provisions can override the
LDR point of generation evaluation to
keep wastes from being prohibited and
subject to a dilution prohibition or
treatment standard This result is
consistent with EPA's existing
regulation at 40 CFR 288.1.
EPA believes that different legal and
policy considerations under exclusions
from the statutory and regulatory
definitions of Bolid waste and hazardous
waste require an evaluation of the
status of die waste at the point of
disposaL Generally, these exclusions
address die status of the waste without
regard to a particular constituent
concentration, and thus do not involve
issues of treatment levels or dilution.
EPA has not fully analyzed these
exclusions and. in the absence of
specific justification, will continue to
provide exclusions from the land
disposal restrictions for waste excluded
from die definition of hazardous or solid
waste under 40 CFR 281.2-.8.
For example, solid waste does not
include solid or dissolved material in
domestic sewage. RCRA section
1004(27). EPA regulations further
provide that any mixture of domestic
- sewage and other waste that passes
through a sewer system to a Publicly
Owned Treatment Works (POTW) for
treatment ia not solid waste. 40 CFR
281.4(a)(1). Thus, even if a waste is
hazardous at the point of generation, the
. domestic sewage exclusion would allow
land disposal of the solid waste at the
POTW without meeting treatment
standards under section 3004{m)
(assuming that there is no land disposal
of the waste before it becomes subject
to the domestic sewage exclusion).
b. Restricted Wastes Versus
Prohibited Wastes. Consistent with the
cradle-to-grave mandate of RCRA's land
disposal restrictions, those who manage
hazardous waste will need to assesa
what LDR prohibitions apply at different
pointa in fee waste ajmaymant
process. First, generators of restricted
wastes mast assess whether the waste
is prohibited under the LDR. Restricted
waste ia defined by several conditions.
-------
Federal Register / Vol 55. No. 106 / Friday, June 1, 1990 / Rules and Regulations
22861
See 51FR at 4081B-40832 (November 7,
1988); 54 FR 38987,38988 (Sept 8,1989).
As discussed above, however, certain
statutory exemptions that would be
evaluated at the point of land disposal
may apply to restricted wastes.
Moreover, during either a national
capacity variance under section
3004(h)(2) or a case-by-case variance
under section 3004(h)(3), disposal of
certain restricted wastes into certain
units would not be prohibited. Also,
placement of waste in a "no migration"
unit is not prohibited land disposal, nor
is placement in an impoundment in
compliance with 40 CFR 2884. In
- addition, there are situations where
waste fan managed in a way. which
results in no land disposal. EPA outlined
which LDR prohibitions attach to wastes
managed under each one of the above
scenarios in 54 FR 38987,38988
(September 8,1989).
& Changes in Treatability Groups.
The question of whether a given waste
is going to prohibited land disposal is
complicated by die fact that wastes may
change form or treatability groups after
undergoing treatment Forexample,
treatment of a wastewater often
generates a nonwaste water sludge as
well as a treated wastewater. Also,
incineration of a nonwastewater can
generate a nonwastewater (ash) as well
as a wastewater (scrubber water). (A
treatability group is defined both in -
terms of the applicable waste code and -
the form the waate is in.) The specific
problem addressed here, whichoccurs
moat often with respect to characteristic
wastes, is the effect that changes in
"treatability groups have on the initial
status of a waste as prohibited or non-
prohibited.
First by way of background, the part
148 and 288 regulations generally divide
die universe of wastes potentially
subject to land disposal prohibitions
into two broad categories: wastewaters
and nonwastewaters. For purposes of
the LOR program, "wastewaters" are
generally defined to have less than IX
total organic carbon (TOC) and less
than 1% total suspended solids. Any
other waste stream is deemed a
nonwastewater. (There are certain
enumerated exceptions from certain
wastes such aB F001-F005 solvents, and.
KOll. K013, and K014 acrylonitrile
wastes. See generally J 28&2 in today's
rule, incorporating the various
. regulatory definitions.) Part 288 provides
for different treatment standards for
these two broad categories of waste. -
The standards may also have different
effective dates because of national
capacity variances. Treatment
standards for listed wastes apply to die
wapte.as generated as well as to all of
the residual wastes that are generated in
treating the original prohibited waste.
See 53 FR 31138,31145 (August 17,1988).
However, when EPA specifies a
treatment method as the treatment
standard, residues resulting from the
required treatment method are no longer
prohibited from land disposal (unless
EPA should specify other requirements).
54 FR 28594.28624.28630 dune 23,
1989)."
A change in treatability group during
the waste management process can
affect whether the waste prior to the
change in treatability groups is subject
to certain LDR requirements. The
following rales are important to
understand this point First, if a
treatability group, and treatment
residues in the same treatability group,
is not going to prohibited land disposal,
then neither the original waste nor the
residue is subject to the treatment
standards or to the dilution prohibition.
As a corollary, waste is prohibited if the
treatability group, or residues from die
same treatability group is land disposed.
This interpretation provides a clear line
of demarcation, avoids the enormous
difficulties of determining new points of
generation every time a hazardous
waste is altered in some respect and
avoids having an initial waste's status
as prohibited determined in all cases by
some later management of a residue
derived from the initial waste.
d. Examples. Several examples will be
useful to help clarify this point
Example 1. Listed wastewater A is
treated in a tank that yields two residue
streams: nonwastewater residue B and
wastewater residue C. The
nonwastewater residue island disposed
and the wastewater residue is
discharged pursuant to an NPDES
permit without being land disposed.
Only nonwastewater residue B is
going to prohibited land disposal
Moreover, residue B is a newly
generated hazardous waste belonging to
a different treatability group than the
original waste. See 53 FR 31209; 52 FR
25887 coL 1 (July 8,1987). The original
hazardous wastewater A is a restricted
waste, but not prohibited, and so is not
subject to the dilution prohibition in 40
CFR 28&3 or any treatment standard
under part 288. Wastewater residue C
IT A facility Is not allowed to dilate or peituiui
partial treatment oo a waste In order to switch the
applicability ot a nonwastewater standard to a
wastswattr standard at vice vena. See 52 FR 21012
(Jona 4,1887): bat see S2 FR 2S787 (Jane 8.1887)
noting special drenrnstanow when California H»t

also is a restricted waste (due to die
"derived from rale" it carries the same
hazardous waste code under 40 CFR
part 281 as the original waste A), but it
is not a prohibited waste because the
wastewater treatability group is not
going to prohibited land disposal.
Example Z listed nonwastewater D is
treated to yield two nonwastewater
residues E and F (which carry the same
waste code as D based on the derived
from rule). Residue E is incinerated and
the ash is land disposed: residue F is
directly reused as a substitute for a
commercial chemical product In this
case, nonwastewaters D and E are
- subject to treatment standards and the
dilution prohibition. EPA does not want
impermissible dilution of
nonwastewater D to be the reason that
the nonwastewater residue E meets the
BDAT level Thus, since there is no ¦
change in treatability group between the
original point of generation and land
disposal for one residue of the original
waste D the part 288 prohibitions apply.
However, residue F is not a prohibited
waste because the definition of solid
waste excludes secondary materials
that are directly reused as substitutes
forcommerdal chemical products.
As illustrated by the above examples,
a unit treatment operation can be a
point of generation for certain
treatability groups. To assess what
prohibitions apply, one must first
determine whether any residues of the
listed waste go to prohibited land
disposal If no residues are land
disposed then part 288 treatment
requirements do not apply. If one or
more residues are placed in prohibited
land disposal the dilution prohibition
applies between the point of land
disposal and the point that a given
treatability group first exists. In example
1, that point is immediately after the
tank treatment operation. In example 2,
that point is the original point of
generation for nonwastewater D.
The rules regarding treatability groups
apply similarly to characteristic wastes.
TTie fact that a waste loses its
hazardous characteristic at some point
prior to land disposal does not
constitute a change in treatability group.
The fact that the derived from rule does
not apply to characteristic wastes is
irrelevant because the derived from rule
only affects hazardous waste status, not
treatability group determination (which
1b a function of physical form). To
determine if a characteristic waste is
prohibited, die decision is still made
based on whether the waste or any
residue in the same treatability group is
destined for land disposaL This
approach is necessary to assure that this
-------

level was met by treatment and not by
dilution. The following example helps
illustrate this decision rale.
Example 3i Wastewater J is BP toxic
for lead. It is treated in a tank and
generates a sludge K, that is non-
hazardon. The treated wastewater L,
which no longer exhibits a
characteristic, is then sent to a surface
impoundment far farther treatment, after
which it is discharged under an NFDES-
pennit The shtdge is sent to a landfilL
His shidge K is not a restricted
hazardous waste; notwithstanding that
it derives from treatment of a
characteristic hazardous waste. This is
because it is a new treatability group
which is not hazardous at point of
generation. The statnsof wastewaters J
and Lis determined by the special rales
for characteristic wastes managed in
CWA systems; therefore, they axe
prohibited wastes bet are not subject to
a dilution prohibition. Since wastewater
L meets the treatment standard when it
is land disposed, the disposal is legaL
Example 4. Electroplating wastewater
M which exhibits a hazardous
characteristic, is treated in a tank to
yield a treeted wastewater N and a
nonwastewater sludge O. the treated
wastewater N, which no longer exhibits
a hazardous flharartBrfaffc. is discharged
into a Class f injection well and the
sludge is sent to a fan end 9 268*7 (b)(4) and
(b)(5)). The first point the Agency
wishes to address is the existing
requirements that apply when restricted
wastes are managed on-site. At a
minimum, certain recordkeeping
requirements are triggered. Section
2887(a) states that generators must first
determine whether their waste is
restricted. Section 288JfaX&) indicates
that generators must retain a copy of aO
demonstrations and other waste
analysis or documentation for all wastes
sent to either on-site as off-site
treatment, storage, or disposal. The
Agency interprets these two provisions .
to mean that ordinarily generators
managing hazardous wastes on-site
must determine if the waste is restricted,
and keep some documentation of that
determination plus some documentation
of where tfae restricted waste was
treated, stored or disposed—whether
treatment, storage, or disposal occurs
on-site or off-site. These recordkeeping
requirements for on-site management
are needed to implement the various
prohibitions or to account tor those
restricted wastes that for gome reason -
are not also prohibited. The Agency
notes briefly that certain wastes are not
subject to recordkeeping requirements
at ail by virtue of the exemptions from
all of part 288 that are contained in
sections 288.1 (b) and (e). (See 54 FR
38988 (Septembers, 1989) discussing
what a "restricted" waste is.)
The Agency is applying die existing
9 288.7 (a) and (a)(8) requirements to
characteristic wastes that are restricted
under today's final rule. These
requirements apply even when the
hazardous characteristic is removed
prior to disposal, or when die waste is
excluded from the definition of
hazardous or solid waste under 9 261.2-
' & subsequent to the point of generation.
Far example, if a characteristic waste is
npt prohibited because it is discharged
pursuant to a NPDES permit without
land disposal, some record must stfil be
kept indicating why the waste Is not
prohibited. (For example, a statement
that there is no lend disposal in the
system prior to theS 281.4 exclusion
would be kept in the facility's operating
record.) Hie rationale for this is that the
9 281.4(a](l) exclusion for domestic
sewage does not attach until the mixture
passes through the sewer system to a
POTW; in the fnterfm, the waste is
restricted. (See also section IHE.6 of
today's final rule.) Finally, this
infoimatfon should already exist in any
case, to justify the absence of subtitle C
regulation.
B. Tracking (Le. Notification/
Certification) Provisions Applicable to
Generators Shipping Wastes OS-Site
Under existing 9 2887(a), generators
. managing restricted wastes must
determine whether the wastes meet
applicable treatment standards on the .
point of generation, or are otherwise
exempt from those standards. Separate
tracking provisions apply to each of
these situations. Section 288.7(a) (1). (2),
end (3). In all cases, however, the
generator must prepare a notice for each
off-site shipment setting out the
hazardous waste identification number,
applicable treatment standard or
prohibition level, manifest number, and
available waste analysis data. If a
generator's waste meets the treatment
standard, the generator must prepare a
certification to this effect (EPA is thus
using the terms "tracking document"
and "notification and certification"
synonymously in the discussion that
follows.)
If a generator's characteristic waste
has been treated to meet the treatment
standard before it is sent off-site, EPA
believes that die existing tracking
scheme requires some modification.
There are two principal reasons to make
changes. Characteristic wastes that
meet treatment standards will be sent
(almost invariably) to subtitle D
facilities. EPA Is concerned that sending
part 288 notifications find certifications
-------
Federal Registo / VoL 55, No. 106 / Friday. June 1990 / Rules and Regulations
22663
to.snbtiile D facilities could be
counterproductive. These facilities are
not familial with subtitle C paperwork .
and could easily mintnkfl the tracking
forma (La the notifications and
certifications) foi manifesto and refuse
to accept the shipment. Even if the forms
are not mistaken far manifests, the
subtitle D facilities could view the forms
a& describing hazardous wastes and
. refuse to accept the wastes. This could
retoh in a situation where scarce
subtitle C management capacity is used
for noa-haiArdous wastes because
subtitle D facilities are refusing the non-
hazardouswastes.
These potential misunderstandings
are probably solvable as subtitle D
operators become more sophisticated
and as EPA further implements its land
disposal restriction training and
guidance efforts. The Agnecy believes
further, however, that under today's rale
no important interest wouldbe
vindicated by requiring notifications and
certifications to be sent to subtitle D
facilities. When listed wastes are .
involved, the tracking document tells
disppsal facilities what standard the
waste must meet before it can be land
disposed. Treatment standards for most
characteristic wastes ate established at
characteristic levels, however. Thus,
these wastes can be land disposed in a
subtitle D facility when they no longer
exhibit a characteristic. Having a
generator cotify to an off-site subtitle D
facility that the waste no longer exhibits
a characteristic adds little or nothing to
the information the disposal facility
needs (o know t& dispose of the waste.
'That ia, the disposal facility already '
must determine that the waste no longer
exhibits a characteristic. Since under the
present rule, sending the tracking forms
to subtitle D facilities could normally
have only the counterproductive effects
discussed in the previous paragraph, .
EPA has determined that the tracking
fonns should not accompany shipments
from generators to subtitle D facilities.
(As noted below, the Agency i» adopting
the same approach for any shipments to
subtitle D facilities, so that a treatment
facility that has treated a characteristic
waste to meet a treatment standard also
would not send tracking documents to a
subtitle D disposal facility.) EPA
realizes that some of the treatment
standards in today's rule, notably those
for reactive cyanides and pesticides,
and the standards for characteristic
wastes that an treatment methods,
woold generally result in treatment
below characteristic levels, in these
cases, the tracking documents wonld
add information useful to a-subtitfe D
.facility. EPA is concerned enough about .
potential confusion and disruption of
subtitle D disposal practices, however,
that at this time the Agency believes it
the better decision not to require
tracking documents for this set of
wastes to go to subtitle D facilities.
By deciding that tracking documents
for prohibited characteristic wastes that
no longer exhibit a characteristic should
not go to subtitle D facilities, the Agency
is not deciding that notifications am)
certifications should not be prepared tor
such wastes. The Agency's concern is
where thoee notifications and
certifications are sent EPA believes,
and is requiring, that the notifications
and certifications be sent to the
appropriate EPA Regional Administrator
or his delegated representative, or to a
state authorized to implement the land
disposal restrictions. The person
preparing the notification and
certification must also'include the
identity and address of die facility
where the treated waste is sent,
including the address. This is die
approach the Agency adopted in an
analogous circumstance where sending
notifications and certifications to the
ultimate disposer would be
counterproductive or otherwise be ill-
advised See 3 28&7(b}{B) and 53 FR
31198 (Aug. 17.1988) (notifications and
- certifications of persons treating
hazardous wastes to produce hazardous
waste-derived products that are to be
used in a manner constituting disposal
are to send die notifications and
certifications to EPA or to an authorized
state, not to the ultimate user of ths
hazardous waste-derived product). By
requiring notifications and certifications
tn juppa KPA nUr> namiHwg that
a record is kept that the characteristic
waste has been treated to meet the
standard and not impermissibly diluted.
Generators (or treatment facilities, see
below) would also have to certify that
these requirements were satisfied. Thus,
the key objectives of the notification -
and certification provisions are
satisfied.
EPA is making some alight
modifications fn the notification form '
that would be sent to EPA (or to an
authorized state). This is because the
existing notification form refers to the
wn IT1 nnroVicr nrrrf mmrffpat rnnrfwf
when shipped. Since wastes no longer
exhibiting a characteristic have neither
an ID number nor a manifest number,
some small modifications are necessary.
While the notification fonn would not
contain hazardous waste codes, it must
contain a complete and accurate
description of the waste, including its
former hazardous waste classification.
In addition, although a manifest number
would not be included; the notifications
must clearly identify the faciGty
receiving the waste.
EPA is not amending the tracking
requirements for those characteristic
wastes that still exhibit a characteristic
when they are sent off-site. All of the
normal i 28&7(a)(l) notice requirements
fit this situation (Le. the waste has an ID
number; it does have to have a manifest,
etc.) and do not require any change. The
tracking document also would be going
to a subtitle C facility so that nose of the
counterproductive effects discussed
above with respect to subtitle D
facilities would occur. Thus, no changes
to existing rules are required.
Hie following examples illustrate how
the revised tracking requirements would
apply to generators of characteristic
wastes:
1. Generator A generates a D008
nonwastewater that is sent off-site to a
treatment facility.
The generator would prepare a
S 288.7(a)(1) notice which would set out
the EPA hazardous waste number,
treatment standards, manifest number,
and any waste analysis data. Because
the waste is still hazardous, no revised
notice is necessary.
2. Generator B generates a D008
nonwastewater that is not a spent lead
acid battery. Hie generator treats the
waste on-site to meet the treatment
standard and then sends it off-site for
disposal in a subtitle D landfill.
Generator B would have to prepare a
notice and certification to document that
the waste has met the treatment
standard and has not been diluted
impermissibly. Rather than send the
notification and certification to a
subtitle D facility, the generator would
send it Instead to die EPA Regional
Office or to an authorized state.
Included on the notification would be
the identity and location of the subtitle
D fadBty where the waste has been
sent
C. Tracking Provisions Applicable to
Treaters
EPA Is adopting the same approach
for treaters of characteristic wastes as it
is for generators. Thus, tracking
documents for shipments of
characteristic wastes that meet a
treatment standard, and therefore no
longer exhibit a characteristic of
hazardous waste, would be sent to EPA
or an authorized state (along with
information documenting the receiving
facility's location), not to a subtitle D
facility. The reasons are the same as
those far generators discussed above.
EPA is also making the same slight
-------
22684
Federal Register / VoL 55. No. 106 / Friday. June 1. 1990 / Rulea and Regulatjons
adjustments in the notification
requirement
Hie following examples illustrate how
die amended rules would apply to
treater*
1. Treater A receives a D007
nonwastewater that it treats to meet the
treatment standard and sends to a
subtitle D landfill. The treater also -
generates a wastewater in the course of ~
treatment that does not exhibit a
characteristic.
The treater must prepare a notice and
•certification which it would send to the
EPA Regional Office or to an authorized
state. The wastewater generated during
treatment is not a prohibited waste
because it is a new treatability group
whose status as a non-prohibited waste
is determined when it (Le. die new
treatability group) is generated.
Therefore, pari 268 does not apply to the
wastewater.
2. Treater B receives a high TOC
ignitable waste that it incinerates. The
ash. which no longer exhibits a
characteristic, is sent to a Subtitle D.
landfill.
The treater would prepare a
notification and certification and send
them to EPA or to an authorized state.'.
as in the previous example. At least at
this time, the Agency is not requiring
that tracking documents be sent to
subtitle D facilities, even when the
treatment standard is a designated
method.
D. Land Disposal Facilities
Under existing rules, subtitle C
jiisposalfacilitiea receiving prohibited
wastes must Keep copies of die notice'
and certification prepared by the
generator and/or the treater, must test
wastes (or waste extracts) at a
frequency specified in their waste
analysis plan (as modified in today's
rule), and must dispose of certain types
of wastes in minimum technology units.
Section 288.7(c) (1), (2), and (3). These
requirements do not fit well for the
characteristic wastes prohibited in
today's rule. The requirement of
disposal in minimum technology units
does not have any applicability at alL
Moreover, if a land disposal facility is a
subtitle D facility receiving non-
hazardous waste. EPA does not believe
that testing requirements are
appropriate to implement today's rule.
These facilities are already barred from
accepting hazardous waste and so must
ascertain if the wastes they are
receiving exhibit a characteristic. Thus,
since few of the treatment standards
adopted today require treatment to
levels below the characteristic, the
Agency believes that existing controls to
ensure against receipt of hazardous
waste will constitute sufficient
corroborative testing by a disposal
facility. The Agency is thus indicating
that the requirements of $ 28&7(c) do
not apply to Subtitle D disposal facilities
receiving wastes that no longer exhibit a
characteristic.
E. Changes in Certification to Reflect
Dilution Prohibition
EPA is also "wwntiig the
certifications of compliance required of
treaters and generators to state that the
treatment standard was not achieved by
a form of impermissible dilution. This
requirement of course, is already
contained in 8 26&3 and today's
amendment simply includes a reference
to this requirement in the certification.
(The existing certifiestion'for treatment
facilities in fact refers to the dilution
prohibition, but does so in an overbroad
manner by referring to all dilution,
rather than only impermissible dilution.
EPA is thus modifying this reference in
today's rule.)
G. The Dilution Prohibition as it Applies
to Centralized Treatment
1. Background
EPA discussed the issue of
permissible and impermissible dilution
of prohibited wastes at length in
previous rulemakings. EPA's existing
rules state that prohibited wastes
cannot be diluted in order to circumvent
a statutory or regulatory prohibition or
effective date. 40 CFR 26&3.1* The rules
also generally discourage aggregation of
wastes not amenable to co treatment by
providing that when wastes with
different standards for a common
constituent are combined for purposes
of treatment, the treatment residue must
meet the lowest applicable treatment
standard. 40 CFR 26841(b).
In interpretive preamble discussions,
the Agency explained that these rules
are not intended to discourage
legitimate centralized treatment and
that aggregation of wastes preceding
legitimate centralized treatment is not
considered to be impermissible dilution.
See 82 FR 25788 (July 8,1987) and
other notices there cited. However, the
Agency noted that centralized treatment
of incompatible wastestreams was not
legitimate treatment and constitutes
impermissible dilution. Id. For example,
it is impermissible dilution to aggregate
a heavily concentrated organic solvent

In this rulemaking, EPA believes that
it is a necessary and responsible action
on the Agency's part to indicate how -
these existing rules apply when
prohibited characteristic wastes are
involved. Contrary to the views of some
of the commentere, this is not a new
issue unrelated to the general substance
of die Third Third rulemaking. Absent
discussion, the existing rules would still
apply to prohibited characteristic
. wastes, but the regulated community
would be unaware of how the Agency
interpreted their, application and would
be potentially unable to determine how
to conduct their operations in order to
comply with the dilution prohibition.
EPA also believes that further
clarification of the dilution rules with
respect to prohibited listed wastes is
warranted.
2. Summary of Proposal
EPA's proposal dealt with two
particular issues. The first was the
question of what constitutes legitimate
'treatment as opposed to impermissible
dilution. The Agency indicated that any
dilution that failed to meet the section
3004(m) standard of substantially
reducing the prohibited waste's toxicity
or mobility would be impermissible, and
further proposed to quantify this
statutory standard by indicating that
there must be some actual reduction in
the prohibited waste's toxicity or
mobility as a result of treatment 54 FR
48494. To satisfy this test the Agency
Indicated at a minimum that there would
need to be actual reduction through
treatment of at least one BDAT
constituent for each prohibited waste
that is treated. Id. EPA further proposed
that any dilution of a prohibited waste
to render it non-hazardous, in lieu of
treating, would be considered
impermissible. Id. at 48495. The Agency
solicited comment however, on whether
dilution could be considered a legitimate
form of treatment for certain prohibited
characteristic wastes. Id. at 48498.
These proposals were the focus of
many of the comments, most dealing
with the implications for wastewater
'* EPA notes that its authority to promulgate a
dilution prohibition rests not only on the land
disposal restriction statutory provisions and
Congressional directives (see in particular section
30M(m) and related statutory requi^ments for EPA
to establish pretreatment standards as a condition
to land disposal; see aim R Rep. No. 188,98th
Cong. 1st Seas. 38 (1883) and S. Rep. No. 294,88th
Cong. 1st Sen. 17), but in addition, the more genet
authority In section 3001(a)(3) to establish treatmei
standards "as may be satisfactory to the
Administrator" and "as may be necessary to protect
hmww health and the environment".

treatment systems that include land-
based treatment [often biological
treatment ponds) ok storage (for
example, holding ponds for corrosive
wastes that have bees neutralized by
dilution}. Commenters also correctly
viewed this issue as being intertwined
(at proposal) with the implications of
leqmn twahninit nf i-tiawirfwlrilff
WftftfBS looy|^
More broadly still. the issue presents
another aspect of the question of
whether to determine if wastes are
prohibited at the point of generation or '
at the point of disposal.
3. Today's Action
The existing rules on dilution and .
EPA's interpretive statements regarding
those rales indicate that the (Station
prohibition has a two-fold objective: (1)
To ensure that prohibited wastes are
actually treated: and (2) to ensure that
prohibited wastes are treated by
methods that are appropriate far that
type of waste. ERA has acknowledged
that prohibited wastes which are
aggregated are not dihted
impermissibly if they are treated
legitimately in centralized treatment
systems; Irrespective of die dilution
inherent in such a system. Thus, if
"dilution" fa a legitimate type of
treatment, or a necessary-prefreatment
step fat a legitimate treatment system,
such dilution is permissible. Conversely,
prohibited wastes that are "treated" by
inappropriate methods, or sent to
treatment systems that do not treat the
wastes, are diluted impermissibly.
In applying these principles to
-characteristic wastes, EPA encountered
two major difficulties: first, the interface
with regulatory systems established
pursuant to the Clean Water Act and
Safe Drinking Water Act and second,
difficulties in being able to quantify the
proposal in a meaningful way. In section
HLD above; we have already discussed
the potential difficulties of Integrating a
full-scale dilation prohibition with the
Clean Water Act*s NPDE9 and
prefreatment regulations, and the Safe .
Drinking Water Acts UtC program. We
explain below the attempts EPA mads
to quantify the proposed standard, and
the obstacles the Agency encountered.
The Agency's proposal to require
reduction of a BDAT constituent as a
means of evaluating if impermissible
dilution has occurred did not indicate
how much reduction would be deemed
adequate, and thus without further
elaboration not only fails to provide
clear jpiidance bat also potentially fails
to achieve the objective of assuring that
wastes are treated by an appropriate
treatment method More importantly;
quantifying the extent of removal -
necessary to be considered legitimate
treatment leads to a very complicated
system given the lumber of prohibited
wastes, treatability jpoups. treatment
methods and treatment train'
ormfignrnHnnn.
Given these problems and
nnmplionHrmj EPA han AartAenf that the
most constructive course is to provide
additional Interpretive guidance on the
existing dilation prohibition contained
In ft 28&3, and to explain more fully how
those rules-would apply hi specific
situations. We also explain again how
we have determined to deal with the
interface between RCRA and other
wastewater regulatory programs.
a. The existing dilation prohibition
ordinarily would not apply to prohibited
characteristic wastes generated and
managed In treatment systems regulated
by the CWA orSDWA. As explained in
a previous section, EPA has determined
in most cases not to apply a dilution
prohibition to characteristic wastes that
are generated and managed in treatment
systems regulated under the CWA or
SDWA. EPA believes, however, that
where the Agency has established a
method as the treatment standard for a
characteristic wasteland that where
application of that method fa consistent
with and promoting of the objectives of
the Clean Water Act or the Safe
Drinking Water Act programs, then fee
method of treatment attaches to the
waste at the point of generation, and
dilution to change the treatability groop
to avoid application of the method is
impermissible. For example, hi this rale,
this is true of the ignitible
nonwastewaters containing greater than
10% TOC and the toxic pesticide
wastewaters (D012-17) if these wastes
are managed in wastewater treatment
systems regulated under the Clean
Water Act The treatment method far
these wastes is incineration, fuel
substitution, or some type of wastewater
treatment technology tint destroys '
oigmricn- Not only are these wastes
amenable to eonbostion treatment (or
other treatment that destroys arganics),
but they typically contain higi
concentrations of toxic organic
constituents whose destruction farthers
the RCRA goal of decreasing waste
toxicity and Mhrfrafatwg threats from
land disposal
Prohibiting dilution of these wastes
[i.en requiring application at a specified
treatment method) is entirely consistent
with the existing regulatory framework
of CWA's NPDES/pre treatment
programs. For example, the 10* TOC
Ignitible wastes are inappropriate far •
wastewater treatment as they would
overwhelm the capacity olmost
biological treatment systems. (As noted
in die preamble section describing the
D001 treatment standards. EPA in fact
developed the 10% TOC cutoff for
Ignitible wastes based on the outer limit
of design capacity for biological
treatment systems.] The Clean Water
Act effluent limitations guidelines and
the standards addressing these types of
wastes already contemplate that these
wastes will not be diluted, but rather
will be treated in the appropriate
manner.
Hie logic that forces this decision for
these wastes in a NPDES/pre treatment
Clean Water Act system is not equally
persuasive in the case of wastes '
disposed of by Injection. As noted in
section HLD. Class I deep wells inject
below the lowermost geological
formation containing an underground
source of Hrfnlrfng water. Deep wells are
not currently injecting wastes that
contain any of the pesticide constituents
found in D012-17 characteristic wastes.
Additionally, there Is not a design
concern of overwhelming the biological
treatment system in the deep well
scenario. In this instance, it is illogical
to force deep wells to utilize a specified
method as there is little concomitment
environmental or technical benefit
through its utilization. Therefore, in
today s Qnal rule, the Agency is
exempting deep wells from specified
methods and the dilution prohibition as
long as the characteristic is removed
before disposal
b. Dilution is considered to be an
acceptable method of treatment for non-
toxic characteristic wastes. Although
EPA proposed that the dilution
prohibition would cover all
characteristic wastes, the Agency
specifically noted that dilution might be
an acceptable type of treatment for non-
toxic characteristic wastes and solicited
comment on the issue. 54 FR 48498. After
considering the comments, the Agency
has determined that far non-toxic
hazardous characteristic wastes (/.a.,
wastes that exhibit a hazardous
physical or chemical property), it should
not matter how the non-toxic
characteristic property is removed so
long as it is removed. Thus, dilution is
an acceptable treatment method for
such wastes. (This issue Is discussed in
more detail in the sections on each
particular characteristic waste.). The
- Agency realizes that this approach does
not fully address the potential problem
of toxic constituents that may be present
in such wastes, nor encourages
minimtxation or recovery of non-toxic .
characteristic hazardous wastes. EPA '
has determined that these potential
problems should be addressed, if at aQ.-

in other rulemakings (or potentially in a
reauthorized .statute) and ate too
difficult to resolve in this proceeding,
given die extraordinary pressures 4nd
limited review time imposed by the May
8 statutory deadline.
EPA also notes that it considers Ugh
TOC igni table nonwastewaters, reactive
cyanide wastes, and reactive sulfide
wastes to be toxic characteristic wastes.
As noted above, the high TOC igni tables
have been shown to frequently contain
high concentrations of organic toxicants.
Reactive cyanide and sulfide wastes
obviously contain toxic constituents.
Thus, dilution would not be an .
appropriate method of treatment for any
of these.
c. Determining when types of
treatment (including centralized
treatment) involving dilution an ¦
permissible. The Agency is able to
provide limited additional guidance
today on the issue of when treatment
¦methods involving dilution are
permissible. The issue frequently arises
when prohibited wastes are aggregated
for purposes of treatment. Firsts if the
wastes are all legitimately amenable to
the same type of treatment, and this
method of treatment is utilized for the
aggregated wastes, die aggregation step
is not impermissible dilution. Thus, it is
permissible (mid normally desirable) for
that are suitable for combustion to be
aggregated before combustion even
though the concentration of organics in
some of the wastes decreases. (See, for
example, the discussion for wastes
K04B-52.) On the other hand, as noted
above,aggregation of high "fOC
igni table wastes with igni table
wastewaters for centralized biological
treatment is not permissible. Biological
treatment is inappropriate for die high
TOC ignitable wastes, and the
aggregation step merely dilutes the high
TOC stream.
As noted above, EPA is unable to
quantify across-the-board what types of
treatment are appropriate for particular
prohibited hazardous wastes (both
listed and characteristic). Clearly, as
stated at proposal, units would have to
be doing some treatment (Ae, removing
toxicity or mobility of BOAT
constituents). In addition, treatment
units would have to be treating wastes
that are amenable to treatment in that
type of unit or by that type of treatment,
or, in die case of centralized treatment
units treating aggregated wastes, .
appropriately combining wastes for
common treatment An example of type
of treatment that is inappropriate for
treatment of certain prohibited wastes
would be biological treatment systems
used to treat prohibited wastes having,
treatment standards for metals.' In these
systems, metal removal is incidental and
nowhere as efficient as systems
designed to treat metals; biological
treatment systems are designed solely
for organic treatment (EPA notes, -
however, that since it is not applying
dilution rules for most characteristic
wastewaters, the above example would
only apply in cases-when a listed
prohibited metal-bearing wastewater—a
wastewater with treatment standards
for metals—was being treated in a
biological treatment unit If this
hypothetical biological treatment were a
surface impoundment EPA would not
view it as satisfying the requirement of
section 3005(j)(ll) and 8 268.4 that it be
conducting "treatment" See discussion
at 52 FR 25778-79 (July 8,1987) where
EPA determined in an analogous
rtiffiim«t

biological treatment to be an
appropriate mode of treating metal*
bearing toxic wastes (£e.y wastes for
which there are treatment standards for
inorganic hazardous constituents). Any
metal removal is incidental because the
treatment technology is not designed to -
remove metals. In addition, removals
are at a rate that is considerably less
efficient than couldbe achieved by . .
• chemical precipitation or other forms of
wastewater treatment Thus, in the
example, dilution would be used as a
substitute for treatment of the listed
waste and would therefore be illegal
dilution and not treatment (See 54 FR
38968 (Sept & 1989) (dilution prohibition
applies to wastes managed in section
288.4 impoundments).)
- d. Facility D generates an EP toxic
nonwastewater that.it stabilizes to meet
the treatment standard. The waste's
volume increases 400 per rant as a result
of stabilization.
Althoughthere are too.few facts in .
this example to give a definitive answer,
- normally this large an increase in waste :
volume would indicate that the
treatment standard is being achieved as
a result of dilution rather than
treatment, and therefore would be .
impermissible. :
H. Applicability of Today's Final Rule
to Mineral Processing Wastes
Section 3001(bj(3)(A)(ii) of RCRA
excludes from the hazardous waste
regulations (pending completion of
studies by this Agency) solid wastes
from the extraction, benefidation and
processing of ores and minerals. On
•-September-1,1989, EPA published a final
rule (54 FR 38592) that narrowed the
scope of this exclusion for 25
enumerated wastes that meet the
exclusion criteria of "high volume/low
hazard," as specified in the September 1
rule. EPA determined that five specific
mineral processing wastes clearly
remain within the scope of the -
exclusion, and 20 additional specified
mineral processing wastes remain
within the exclusion pending collection
of further volume and hazard data. All
previously excluded mineral processing
wastes, other than these 25 specified
wastes, that exhibit one or more of the -
characteristics of hazardous waste will~
no longer be excluded from the
hazardous waste regulations when the
final rule became effective on March l;
1999. On january 23,1990 (Bee 55 FR-
2322-2354), EPA published another final .
- rule removing an additional five of these
wastes from the exclusion based on- ¦
additional volume and/or hazard data. ,
This final rule becomes effective on July
23.1990.
EPA believes that these previously,
excluded wastes are "newly identified'*
for the purpose of determining
applicability of the land disposal
prohibitiona Although technically the
wastes are not being identified by a new
characteristic, they are being brought
into the Subtitle C system after die
November 8,1984 enactment of HSWA. s
A permissible interpretation of RCRA
section 3004(g)(4), which is ambiguous
as to whether it applies to wastes first
brought into the Subtitle C system after
1984 due to regulatory re-interpretation,
is that wastes brought into the system
after the 1984 RCRA amendments may
be prohibited from land disposal under a
different schedule than those wastes
that were hazardous on the date of
enactment of HSWA, and also are not
subject to the statutory hard hammer.
The policy reasons for preferring this
interpretation are those that prompted
Congress to.establish a separate
prohibition schedule for other newly
identified and listed wastes: the need to
study such wastes separately, and
prioritization of hnrnmpr dates.
Consequently, because these wastes are.
considered to be newly identified, the
Agency must develop treatment
standards for them within six months of
their be ins identified as hazardous
wastes (RCRA section 3O04(g)(4)(q).
However, as stated above, these
wastes are hazardous because they
exhibit one or more of the
characteristics of hazardous waste.
Today's.rule promulgates treatment
standards for characteristic wastes. A
question, therefore, is whether the
treatment standards for characteristics
should apply to these mineral processing
wastes recently determined not to fall
withinthe Bevill exclusion. Put another
way, although as newly identified
wastes they are not subject to the hard
hammer. EPA has the choice of whether
to apply the treatment standards for
characteristic Wastes to them at tills
Hmn -
The Agency has not yet performed the
technical analyses necessary to
determine if the treatment standards
promulgated today as BOAT for EP toxic
hazardous wastes or other characteristic
hazardous wastes can be achieved In
treating the various mineral processing
wastes. Therefore, EPA has determined
that these newly identified mineral
processing wastes am not subject to the
' BDAT standards promulgated today for
characteristic hazardous wastes. The
Agency plans to study the mineral
processing wastes in the future to
determine BDAT for these newly
identified hazardous wastes.
There are circumstances when newly
identified mineral processing wastes
can, however, be subject to existing
hazardous'waste prohibitions. In
particular, if the mineral processing
waste is mixed with other prohibited
wastes [Lsh any prohibited solvent
dioxin. First or Second Third hazardous
waste), it becomes subject to the
prohibition for the prohibited waste with
which it is mixed EPA also solicited
comment on applicability of California
list prohibitions, but has determined that
these prohibitions will not apply. See
section IILF for a discussion of this
issue.
Whether any of these prohibitions
would have immediate regulatory effect
would be determined by the
authorization status of the State in
which the waste is managed Because
the final rules removing wastes from the
scope of the Bevill exclusion are not
being adopted pursuant to HSWA, they
do not take effect immediately in
authorized States. Thus, in these States,
these mineral processing wastes would
only be hazardous wastes if they are
included within the scope of the State's
authorized program. If they are not they
would not be hazardous wastes until an
amended State's program including them
is authorized Only after authorization
would the land disposal prohibitions
apply in that State. These mineral
processing wastes would be hazardous
wastes in unauthorized States as soon
as the rule removing them from the
exclusion becomes effective. At that
time, any land disposal prohibitions that
apply to them also would take effect
The Agency, in the proposed rule,
solicited comment on whether the BDAT
treatment standards proposed for theEP
toxic metals are appropriate for the
newly identified mineral processing
wastes. Of the comments received,
almost all supported EPA's position that
the mineral processing wastes are
sufficiently different from other
characteristic wastes to warrant
additional analysis, and that the
statutory lia»nnn»i> and the California list
prohibitions apply only to those wastes
regulated as hazardous at the time of the
HSWA enactment
Several co mm enters argued against
die Agency's position on mineral
processing wastes. One commenter
stated that since EPA has extensive
information available from the listing
process, that should be sufficient to
develop BDAT treatment standards.
However, data collected and analyzed
for the purpose of listing a waste as
hazardous are different from those
required to perform BDAT analyses, 'n
addition, most of the analyses

/. Waste Analysis Plans and Treatment/
Disposal Facility Testily Requirements
In the proposed rule, EPAnoted that
9 9 288J(b) and (c) currently require
treatment and'disposal facilities to test
their wastes in order to ensure that they
are in compliance with applicable
treatment standards and prohibition
levels. EPA also noted that these
provisions require such testing to be
performed according tor the frequency
specified in the facility's S 284.13 or
§ 285.13 Waste Analysis Plan (WAP).
Although 9 9 284.13 and 285.13 require
that waste analyses contain enough
information to allow the owner/operator
to comply with die 40 CFR 288
requirements, die Agency noted that a
comment found in both of these sections
has created implementation problems.
The comment states, "the owner or
operator of an off-site (treatment
storage, or disposal) facility may
arrange for the generator of the
hazardous waste to supply part or all of
Ihe (waste analysis) information." This
language has been construed
erroneously as precluding EPA (or an
authorized State] from requiring the
owner/operator to conduct a detailed.
chemical and physical analysis of the
waste where the generator has supplied
the owner/opera tor with such waste
analysis information. Although EPA' -
stated in the proposal that it has
authority to require owner/operators to
" "test their wastes in such cases, the -
Agency stated its preference for
removing any ambiguities and modifying
die regulations in order to clarify EPA's
intent -
The Agency noted in the proposal its
belief that ordinarily, treatment and -
disposal facilities should do some
corroborative testing to ensure
compliance with LOR treatment
standards and prohibitions. Although
thereare certainly situations where test
data submitted by the generator. or the
knowledge of the generator, may
constitute an essential part of the
necessary information, EPA's proposal
was premised on a need to ensure that
the IJDR requirements are met prior to '
disposal. The Agency also noted that
such corroborative testing provides
records that may be useful in
ascertaining compliance with LDR
- requriements. Thus, EPA stated that
treatment and disposal facilities
normally should do periodic
independent corroborative testing of -
prohibited wastes, even if the generator
also tests the waste or otherwise
certifies 1hat it is eligible for land
disposal.
Given this context the Agency
proposed two approaches for specifying
the circumstances under which EPA
could require corroborative testing. Hie
first approach would allow off-site
facilities to arrange for the generator
and/or treater of wastes to supply all or
part of the waste analysis information
only if an EPA-approved WAP
affirmatively allows the generator and/
or treater to supply this information.
Since Interim status facilities do not
have their WAPs approved until their
permit applications are reviewed by
EPA (or the authorised State), such
facilities would no longer be able to rely
upon generator data under this
approach. Under the second approach,
the Regional Administrator or his
designate would determine the owner/
operator's testing frequency, but such
facilities would be required to conduct
waste analyses at least once a year.'
Since such an approach would be self-
implementing, no revisions to existing
permits would be necessary.
Numerous commenters pointed out
the advantages and disadvantages of
both approaches. The primary issues
raised by commenters related to the
flexibility and resources associated with
the proposed approaches. Several
commenters supported die flexibility
that the first approach would provide.
Individual facility circumstances can be
considered, which the commenter,
believed would result in appropriate
testing frequencies. The Agency agrees
with the commenters and continues to
believe that the frequency of testing is
best determined on a case-by-case basis
by the permit writer. This is because the
range of variables (eg* variety of
wastes managed, different types of
waste matrices, number of processes
invovled) is too broad to justify a single
national testing frequency. However,
evaluating the appropriate testing
' frequencies for every treatment and
disposal facility can be very resource-
intensive, a task that likely would take
several years to complete. Some
commenters expressed a preference for
specific minimum testing frequencies, in
part to establish a baseline level from
which to depart As stated above, a
required testing frequency is difficult to
specify for all facilities, and would be
excessive and redundant in some
situations while not being protective
enough in others. To address this
. problem, die Agency is developing
guidance to help identify what testing
frequency, based on site-specific
considerations, is reasonable and .
appropriate for treatment and disposal
facilities.
Several commenters stated that
corroborative testing by treatment and
disposal facilities is unnecessary where
generators supply such waste analysis
data. Some of these commenters felt that
testing should be required only where
the generator does not supply testing
data (/&, where the generator supplies
waste characterization data based only
on his knowledge of the waste or waste
generation process). EPA disagrees with
the commenters, and notes that the D.C.
Circuit in upholding EPA's 9 2847
testing framework, has expressed its
support for treatment and disposal
facility corroborative testing
requirements:
P)t ia the treatment facility's job to
transform waste otherwise deemed too
dangerous to permit into lanHfllU into
acceptable form. It is therefore not irrational
for the EPA to introduce a backup, arguably
"redundant" testing stage for these wastes
requiring treatment and even to consider this
a "critical" stage in the process.
888 F^d at 37a
The court also noted that such
corroborative testing is necessary for
dispoasl facilities:.
DJust prior to land disposal, waste must be
vigorously tested to confirm that it l» what
outers have represented it to be and that it
may permissibly be land disposed.
Id
Given these concerns, the Agency
today is promulgating an approach that
combines elements of both die proposed
approaches. EPA is revising the
comment in 99 284.13 and 285.13 to
implement this approach.
Under the final approach, treatment
and disposal facilities may generally
rely on information provided to them by
generators or treaters of the waste.
However, treatment and disposal
facilities must conduct periodic detailed
physical and chemical analysis on their
waste streams to assure that the
appropriate part 288 treatment
standards are being met Specifically,
today's final rule amends the comment
in 99 284.13 and 285.13 to make it clear
that the restricted waste testing
requirement (or other frequency
approved by the Agency) is not
superseded by the ability of the facility
to rely on information supplied by the
generator or treater. Also, with today's
change, 9 284.13 more clearly specifies
that EPA may, through the permit
require the owner or generator of a
treatment or disposal facility to conduct
periodic chemical and physical analysis
prior to treatment or other management
of wastes.

importantly, there fs no regulation at att
addressing testing frequency. Since a
substantial volume of hazardous waste

testfngfrequency is viewed by the
Agency as Important for ensuring the -
integrity of the section 3004fm)
treatment standards. Furthermore,
today's imposition of a waste analysis

other issues testing, frequency—on
persons treating to 90-day tanks is

EPA does not believe however, that it

partially, but do not treat to achieve the

would duplicate waste analysis plans of

entity; There is* however, a requirement
that the plan be retained as a facility

justifying to enforcement officials why
the ftequency of testing, selected by the
facility is reasonable. Furthermore; aa

the Agency or State an opportunity to

Federal Register / VoL 55. No. 106 / Friday, June 1, 1990 / Rules and Regulations
L Clarification of "P" and "If Solid
Wastes
1. .Residues Remaining in Containers or
Inner Linen
In the November 22,1989 proposal,
EPA proposed several amendments to
clarify die existing language of 40. CFR
26133. The first amendment involved 40
CFR 28133(c), a provision that Eats
residue* remaining in containers or in
an inner liner that have held commercial
chemicd products listed in 40 CFR
281.33(e)j EPA believes that this
language was partially tnenor as it '
does not include residues remaining hi
mnUHnpw f»r in an tnnur tfnpr ¦
contaminated with the40€PR:26L33(f)
materials. All of the other provisions fa
40 CFR 281.33 refer ta both 40 CFR
26133 (e) and (f) wastes, and there is no
reason that 40 CFR 281.33(c) should not
as welL The omission results in fact
from an oversight, and is not based an
anychoice by the Agency.
Many commenters misunderstood the
Agency's intent by this clarification. It
was not our intent to subject WIT wastes
(La, non*acute l"'"*"* wastes) to the
triple-rinsing requirements of 40 CFR
2617(b)(3) as this section applies solely
to acute hazardous wastes. In 40 CFR
261-33(c), there is not a corresponding
reference, however, that residues
remaining In containers or in an inner
liner contaminated with "U" wastes are
subjectto regulation, unless empty as
defined in 40 CFR 2617{br)(l). TWs
omission could be read as allowing the
disposal of full containers of "U" Bsted
wastes. While this would dearly be an
incorrect reading, today's find action
corrects thisonrisskm. - . --
2. SpiH Residues
In add&an, ERA proposed a clarifying
amendment to 40 CFR 26133(4 to be
codffied in 40 CFR 261.2 (b) and{c) to
state that residues of spills of
pnmwayrlal rlwmtral pmAirft tttlnH Jq
40 CFR 26133(e) and ffl-wiO be ¦
considered solid wastes if they are not
recycled witidnDO days of the spilL 54
FR 48493-94. The Agency's rationale
Was thflf fllthniiflh «irhnpiIloH matwHala
may be considered to be "abandoned"
under the existing regulatory language,
it might be more appropriate to establish
a specific tfcne period after which such
spills became solid wastes. Hie Agency
noted further that it ordinarily views
spilled commercial chemicals as solid
wastes becanse^he nature of a spill ¦
constitutes disposal, and because of the
difficulty of recycling spill residues in
such matrices as sofl or groundwater. Id.
In these instances, not eoly are spill
residues of commercial chemical
products unlike«ther40 CFR 28133 '
materialmen off-specification
products), but the Agency believes that
marginal claims ofrecyclability could be
asserted to avoid proper cleanup of
spills. &
While comments on this issue were
mixed, a number of commenters made
the point that this issue was
inappropriate for determination in the
Third Third rulemaking because it is not
directly related to the Land Disposal
Restrictions program. Given that these
comments have merit and considering
rtn miwhiBi nf hrniw that, rnnttt ho
decided undarthe pressing timetable
imposed by the statute, the Agency will
not go forward with the quantified
standard thatit proposed. ¦
Furthermore, the Agency believes that
this Issue can be addressed by
interpretation of existing regulations.
Under 40 CFR 26133, mere assertion of
intent to recycle a spill residue of a
commercial chemical product does not
automntfawlly immunize the spiB area
from RCRA subtitle C jurisdiction. The
generator has die bprden of proving that
the spilled material is not a solid waste,
and a generalized assertion does "not
satisfy the burden. See 40 CFR 281.2(f). .
Objective considerations that could be
. pointed to to satisfy this burden include .
whether the generator has begun to
recyde the spiH residue,-die length of
time die spill residue has existed, die
value of the spilled material, whether it
to technically feasible or technically
practical to recycle the spiH residue, and
whether there is any past history of the
company recycling this type of residue.
EPA repeats that assertion of intent to
recycle does not satisfy the generator's
burden of prooL Rather, there must be
objective indicators of intent, and the
indicators must be strong given that a
spill of hazardous material to soil or
groundwater Is normally a simple act of
disposal.
3. De Minimis Exception to die Mixture
Rule
In die context of the Third Third
proposal, several commenters requested
clarification of the scope of the mixture
rule exemption to the definition of
hazardous waste under 40 CFR
281.3(a)(2)(lv}. Thisprovision exempts
mixtures which contain amounts
of listed spent solvents (T-iiatad
solvents") nt other de madnua losses of
commercial chemical wastes ("P and U
wastes") from manufacturing operations
when these listed wastes are mixed with
other wastewater "the of
which is subject to regulation under
either section 402 or section 307(b) of the
Clean Water Act (including wastewater
at facilities that have eliminated the
discharge of wastewater)." **
Commenters raised the issue of whether
disposal of such noctures via Class I
UIC wells allows the facility to claim
this exemption. In particular,
commenters expressed concern that
recent EPA statements regarding the
scope of this exemption imply that large
volumes of wastewater will require
treatment of the P and U wastes within
the wastewater stream before injection
of a Class I well and that capacity for
treatment of such wastestreams is not
currently available.
Before responding to these comments,
some background information is in
order. RCRA subtitle C generally
regulates as hazardous all mixtures of
listed hazardous wastes and other solid
wastes. One exception from this rule is'
for mixtures that "consistQ of
wastewater the discharge of which is
subject to regulation under either
section 402 or 307(b) of the Clean Water
Act (Including wastewater at facilities
which have eliminated the discharge of
wastewater) and: [contain specific
amounts of listed solvents or de minimis
losses of discarded chemical products]."
40 CFR 281.3(a)(2)(iv). This exception to
the mixture rale was established by
regulation on November 17,1981. See 48
FR 56582. A specific level for spent
solvents is established by the regulation
(either 1 ppm or 25 ppm). The regulation
sets a worst-case maximum
concentration of solvent within the
wastewater stream; the actual
concentration will almost certainly be
less. Conversely, there is no set
regulatory concentration for de minimis
loss levels of P and U wastes that are
listed in 40 CFR 28133(e) and (f).
In the 1981 interim final rule, EPA did
not exempt all de minimis mixtures
generated at aO facilities. Rather, EPA
limited die exemption as follows: "[The
exemption] applies only to wastewater
mixtures managed in wastewater
treatment systems whose discharge is
subject to regulation under * ° * the
[CWA]. This requirement will help to
prevent indiscriminate discharge of
wastes into wastewater treatment
systems because to do so would
jeopardize the generator's ability to
comply with its [CWA] discharge
requirements. * * • (T)he Agency
•• The exemption also covers mixture* of small
amoenta of listed harvdooa waste* to wastewaters
resulting from laboratory operations. 40 CFR
281J(a)(2)(Iv)(E). Also, them is similar, but not
fatal Itari, language contained tea final nde that
provided intarpmatbms of ocrtaw terms and
provisions of standards Cor hazardoos waste tank
systems (S3 FR3M7SI September 2.1968). Today's
notice is not changing the applicability of the
September 2.1988 final rule with respect to
hazardous waste tank systems.

proper treatment might be utilized? Must
there be a contract with a treatment
company? What if it is contingent or
contains option provisions? l^us, the
Agency is instead retaining its
longstanding interpretation of die
storage prohibition and is not finalising
the proposed alternative approach.
Under die existing approach, both
RCRA 3004Q)-and 40 €FR288£0 provide
that storage of prohibited hazardous
wastes Is itself prohibited ftmless ?uch
storage to solely for the purpose of the'
accumulation of such quantities of
hazardous waste as an necessary to
facilitate praperiecovery,' treatment or
disposal." Storage of prohibited wastes
is only allowed In non-laud based
storage units (£&. tanks and containers),
since land-based storage is a type of
land disposaL
Two major principles underlie the
storage prohibition: (1)-the need to
reduce the risks created by long-term
storage; and (2) the goal of the Land
Disposal Restri ctions, and HSWA
generally, to encourage the expeditious
use of alternative treatment
technologies. CL Hazardoui Waste

are intendedlo address situations where
there is a jack of treatment capacity.
No firm time limit is .established
pursuant to 4 288J0. Generators and
owners or operators can store as long as
necessary. The legislative history-makes
it clear that the intent of RCRA 3G04Q)
and 9288^0 is to prohibit use of long-
term storage to circumvent treatment
requirements imposed by the Land
Disposal Restrictions. 129 Cong. Rec.
H8139 (daily ed. Octobers, 1983).
However, if prohibited wastes are
stored beyond one year, the owner/
operator has the burden of proving {in
the event of an enforcement action] that
such storage Is for the allowable reason;
prior to one year, EPA maintains die
burden of proving that storage has
occurred for the wrong reason.
. Finally, EPA reemphasizes that intent
is not a critical factor in determining
liability. In order to successfully enforce
this provision, die Agency need not
demonstrate that those storing
prohibited wastes have a particular
state of mind Rather, objective factors
such as the type and amount of waste in
storage and the time in storage still may
be relied upon as the key factors in .
' interpreting this provision. In
determining whether storage is lawful
the Agency trill continue to evaluate
these factors in light of its "treat as you
go" approach noted in HWTCm. EPA
notes, however, that the intent ofthose
storing prohibited wastes may be
relevant in the Agency's determination
regarding what type of relief, if any, to
seek in a civil or criminal enforcement
action.
deadlines under other statutory
programs, are factors which are
affecting the management of mixed
waste. EPA will further evaluate the
legal, policy, and factual issues relevant
to this matter. Since this issue is not
material to the requirements which EPA
must promulgate in order io meet the
May 8,1990 Third Third rule statutory
deadline, EPA will resolve this matter
separately from this rulemaking. The
Agency expects to issue its policy on the
mixed waste storage issue during the
next 90 days.
1. Storage of RadioactHre Mixed Waste js. Case-by-Case Extensions
Several commenters urged the Agency
to modify its existing interpretation of
the section 3004(0 storage prohibition as
it relates to radioactive mixed waste.
Mixed waste contains both a hazardous
waste component subject to RCRA
hazardous waste management
standards and a radioactive waste
component regulated under the Atomic
Energy Act tAEA). He commenters
asserted that there Is little or no
available permitted treatment or
disposal capacity for commercially
generated mixed waste, and that many
of these mixed wastes contain spent
solvents or California list wastes that
are not eligible for the national capacity
variance which EPA is granting for
mixed waste containing first second,
and third-third wastes. The commenters
emphasized that generators have no
practical Option rat to store their
prohibited mixed waste on-site, pending
the availability of treatment and
disposal capacity. The commenters .
stated that die Agency should not
interpret such storage as "surrogate
disposal" that violates section 3004(j),
since this feoterpretation would result in
a requirement allowing no possibility of
compliance by generators. The
commenters further asserted that
interpreting section 3004Q) in this
manner could give rise to an
inconsistency with the AEA, within the
meaning of RCRA section 1008(a).
EPA is aware of die difficulties posed
by the applicability of the section 3004(j]
storage prohibition to mixed wastes
under circumstances where there fa no
treatment or disposal capacity. These
issues and their effects on certain low-
level waste generators (e^, hospitals,
research institutions, universities], were
' also discussed at length in a recent
report developed by die Office of
Technology Assessment (OTA). (See
"Partnerships Under Pressure, Managing
Commercial Low-level Radioactive
Waste." OTA, November 1089).
EPA acknowledges that the current
shortage of treatment or disposal
capacity, and the requirements and
Under RCRA Section 3004(h)(3), EPA
can grant case-by-case extensions of the
prohibition effective dates for up to one
year beyond the applicable deadlines;
extensions are renewable once for up to
one additional year. On November 7,
1988, EPA published a final rule (51FR
40572) establishing the regulatory
framework to implement the land
disposal restrictions program, including
the procedures for submitting case-by-
case petitions.
To obtain a case-by-case extension,
the statute requires that the applicant
make the following demonstrations:
(1) A binding contractual commitment
has been made to construct or otherwise
provide alternative treatment recovery,
or disposal capacity that protects human
health and die environment81
(2) Due to circumstances beyond his
or her control, such alternative capacity
cannot reasonably be made available by
the applicable effective date.
(3) If a surface impoundment or
landfill is used by the applicant to
manage the waste during the extension
period, the unit must meet the
requirements of section 3004(o). EPA has
interpreted these statutory provisions to
also require the following (see 40 CFR
288.5(a)):
(1) A good-faith effort must be made
to locate and contract with treatment
recovery, or disposal facilities
nationwide to manage the waste in
accordance with restrictions by the

(3) A detailed schedule for obtaining
required operating and constructing
permits, or an outline of how and when
alternative capacity will be available.
(4) Adequate capacity is available to
manage the waste during theextension
period, documenting in the petition the
location of all sites at which the waste
will be managed.
After an applicant has been granted a
case-by-case extension, the applicant
must notify the Administrator as Boon as
he or si^e has knowledge of any change
in the demonstrations made in the
petition. In addition, the applicant must
submit progress reports, at specified
intervals, that describe the progress
being made towards obtaining adequate
alternative capacity, identify any delay
or possible delay in developing die
capacity, and describe the mitigating
actions being taken in response to the -
event See 40 CFR 28&5 (i) and (g).
Hie Agency has received a number of
inquiries on whether a proposed no-
migration petition or proposed
treatability variance would satisfy the
first statutory requirement That is,
could a proposed no-migration variance
or a proposed treatability variance .
constitute the "alternative treatment, :
recovery, or disposal capacity." If so,
and if the Agency were to grant a case-
by-case extension, this could provide
petitioners with additional time while
their no-migration petition or treatability
variance is being considered for final ..
approval
First, it should be noted thattheT
amount of time required to process no-
migration and treatability variances (for
other than injected wastes] is expected
to be 12-18 months due to the
6omplexity of the technical .
demonstration^ that must be made, and
their subsequent evaluation. On the
other hand, the case-by-case petitions
generally can be processed in about 6-8
months because the required
demonstrations are more
straightforward This could give the
petitioner about 8 months of relief: Some
petitioners believe that there are a
number of legitimate circumstances
where the few extra months gained -
would make the difference between
dosing a facility which ultimately will
be granted a valid variance request and
keeping it in operation.
In response to these inquiries, EPA Is
taking this opportunity to clarify that the
statutory requirement to obtain a -
"binding contractual commitment to
construct or otherwise provide
alternative treatment recovery, or .
disposal capacity" may be satisfied by a
Federal Register notice wherein the
Agency proposes to grant either a no-
migration extension, or a treatability
variance. The Agency believes that
EPA's proposing to grant either a
treatability variance petition or a no-
migration petition is sufficient
demonstration that the petitioner has
made a good faith effort to commit to
obtaining altentative protective disposal
capacity; any further commitment is
solely contingent on EPA's action at this
point In addition, die Agency's action in
proposing to grant the variance petition
-serves as a partial imprimatur that the
alternative capacity under consideration
wiQ prove to be protective; However,
the mere filing of a variance petition
prbvides no such guarantee (most of the
no-migration petitions for surface units
filed to date, for example, have proven
. technically deficient), thus cannot -
be deemed to satisfy the statutory
requirement
Of course, should EPA then grant a
case-by-case extension, that grant
would be conditional: if EPA denies the
no-migration petition or die treatability
variance, then the basis for the case-by-
case extension may no longer exist and
the variance will be terminated unless
there is additional basis for the
variance. In addition, when die no-
migration or treatability variance is !
granted* the case-by-case extension
automatically expires (since it is no
longer needed).
Because significant time and.
resources would have been expended on
the case-by-case petition review
unnecessarily if the no-migration
petition or treatability variance is
ultimately denied, EPA will begin
review of a case-by-case extension
petition only after receiving a clear
indication that the Agency has the
intention of proposing to grant die no-
migration petition or treatability
variance (and will not propose to grant a
case-by-case extension unless the >
Agency has actually proposed'to grant
the variance). Conversely, when the
clear indication is that the no-migration
petition or treatability variance will be
denied, tPA will not review the case-by-
case petition,'and this petitioner will be
notified at die same time he or she is
notified of the status of the other
petition*'
O. Applicability of California List
Prohibitions after May 8,1990
In the November 22,1989 proposal,
EPA discussed two issues relating to
California list wastes. 54 FR 48498. The
first issue is die question of continued
applicability of California list
prohibitions to wastes which are .
granted a national capacity variance in
today's rulemaking. The second issue is
whether California list prohibitions
apply to wastes that are first identified
and listedafter die date of-the HSWA
amendments. 54 FR 48498-99.
EPA discussed die relationship of
California list prohibitions to scheduled
wastes subject to a capacity variance
(either national or case-by-case) in the
preamble to the First Third rule. 53 FR
31188. The Agency established in the
First Third rule that although specific
prohibitions and treatment standards
take precedence over California list
prohibitions, during die period of a
capacity variance the California list
prohibitions continue to apply. EPA
included this discussion in the Third
Third proposal not to reopen the issue
but to put persons on notice that the
same reading applies to Third Third
wastes, including characteristic wastes.
In fact the few commenters on the issue
indicated that they agreed with and
were aware of the Agency's position
The Agency did solicit comment
however, on whether it would be
permissible to reevaluate whether die
California list prohibitions for acid
corrosive wastes would apply during the
period of a national capacity variance
for Third Third add corrosive wastes
(which are identical substances). .
Several commenters suggested that the
prohibition for California list corrosives
should not apply to Third Third
corrosives that are granted national
capacity variances in today's
rulemaking. The Agency disagrees with
this assertion and believes that not
applying the more generally applicable
California list prohibitions as an interim
prohibition is contrary to the literal
statutory language and enundations of
Congressional intent in the legislative
history. See S. Rep. No. 284,98th Cong.
1st Sess. 17. Also, given the fact that
these wastes have been restricted since
July 8,1987. it is illogical that the
Agency would grant these wastes a
capacity extension in today's
rulemaking. Therefore, a corrosive
waste that is injected underground is at
a minimum subject to the California list
prohibitions on August 8,1990.
The other issue on which EPA
solidted comment is whether newly
identified or listed wastes could be
covered by California list prohibitions.
Most of the comments supported the
Agency's tentative condusion that the
statutory language does not compel a
reading that California list prohibitions
apply, and further supported the view
that California list prohibitions should
not apply. EPA is adopting that reading
ip today's rule. As the Agency noted at
proposal there would be massive
dislocations in the regulated community
if California list prohibitions were to
apply to newly identified and listed
-------
FederaTRegtotar / Vol 55. Na 106 / Friday, June 1. 1990 / Rules and Regulations 22675
wastes. For example, if wastes
identified by die new Toxicity
Characteristic were HOCa, thus
triggering immediate California list
prohibitions, there would be immediate
prohibitions of these wastes rather than
the more phased schedule specified in
section 3004(g)(4). EPA does not believe
this result is desirable. In addition, die
Agency believes that the better reading
of the statute is that the California list --
prohibitions were not meant to apply to
wastes that are newly identified or
listed. Consequently, EPA is determining
today that wastes that are newly
identified and listed 21 are prohibited
only when the Agency takes specific
action with regard to them pursuant to
section 3004(g)(4).
Since die California list prohibitions
are superseded by more specific
treatment standards (with the caveat
that the prohibitions continue to apply
during capacity variance periods as
discussed above) with the promulgation
of the Third Third final rule, almost all
of die California list prohibitions will be
superseded by more specific
prohibitions and treatment standards.**
The California list prohibitions remain
applicable for (1) liquid hazardous
wastes that contain-over 50 ppm PCBs;
(2) HOC-containing wastes identified as
hazardous by a characteristic property
that does not involve HOCs, as, for
example, an ignitable waste that also
contains greater than 1000 ppm HOCs
. (but not an EP toxic waste that exhibits
the characteristic because it contains
one of the six chlorinated organic
' pestiddercQvered by the EP toxicity
characteristic); and (3) liquid hazardous
wastes that exhibit a characteristic and
also contain over 134 mg/1 of nickel
and/or 130 mg/1 of thallium.
Finally, EPA proposed that it would
delete the provision-specifying burning -
in boilers and furnaces as a specified
method of treatment for California list
HOCs (existing S 288.42(a)(2)) because
there are virtually no situations to which
the provision could apply. 54 FR 48499.
There was virtually no comment on this
point and EPA is finalizing this action
as proposed for the reasons stated at
proposal
u Newjy Identified means either newly subject to
anodstinychaiacteristic (&&. snch si those wastes
removed from the Bevill exchtskm] or subject to »
new characteristic. Newly listed wastes may still be
subject to any preexisting applicable characteristic
standards or CatifbraJa list prohibitiona tfummfug
from the characteristic.
" See 52 FR 29993 lAugust 12.1987) and 52 FR.
23773 (July 8.1887); see also 40 CFR 2B8J2(h) (HOC
prohibition superseded by treatment standard and"
effective date for a particular HOC).
IV. State Authority
A. Applicability of Rules in Authorized
States
Under section 3008 of RCRA, EPA
may authorize qualified States to
administer and enforce the RCRA
program within die State. Following
authorization, EPA retains enforcement
authority under sections 3008,3013, and
7003 of RCRA, although authorized
States have primary enforcement
responsibility. The standards and
requirements for authorization are found
in 40 CFR part 271.
Prior to HSWA, a State with final
authorization administered its
hazardous waste program in lieu of EPA
administering the Federal program in
that State. The Federal requirements no
longer applied in the authorized State,
and EPA could hot issue permits for any
facilities that the State was authorized
to permit When new, more stringent
Federal requirements were promulgated
or enacted, the State was obliged to
enact equivalent authority within
specified time frames. New Federal
requirements did not take effect in an
authorized State until the State adopted
the requirements as State law.
In contrast under RCRA section
3008(g) (42 U.S.C. 6928(g)), new
requirements and prohibitions imposed
by HSWA take effect in authorized
States at the same time that they take
effect in nonauthorized States. EPA is
directed to carry out these requirements
and prohibitions in authorized States,
including the issuance of permits, until
theState is granted authorization to do
so. While States must still adoRj -
HSWA-related provisions as State law
to retain final authorization. HSWA
applies in authorized States in the
interim.
With one exception, today's final rule
is promulgated pursuant to sections 3004
(d) through (k), and (m), of RCRA (42
U&C. 8924 (d) through (k), and (m)).
Therefore, it will be added to Table 1 in
40 CFR 271.1(j), which identifies the
Federal program requirements that are
promulgated pursuant to HSWA and
take effect in all States, regardless of
their authorization status. States may
apply for either interim or final
authorization for the HSWA provisions
in Table 1, as discussed in the following
section. Table 2 in 40 CFR 271.1(j) will
also be modified to indicate that this
rule is a self-implementing provision of
HSWA.
The exception is the clarifying
amendment to $ 281.33(c). This
clarification is not effective in
authorized States since the requirements
are not imposed pursuant to HSWA.
Thus, these requirements will be
applicable only in those States that do
not have interim or final authorization.
In authorized States, the requirements
will not be applicable until the State
revises its program to adopt equivalent
requirements under State law.
B. Effect on State Authorizations
As noted above, EPA will implement
today's final rule in authorized States
until their programs are modified to
adopt these rales and the modification is
approved by EPA. Because the rule is
promulgated pursuant to HSWA, a State
submitting a program modification may
apply to receive either interim or final
authorization under RCRA section
3008(g)(2) or 3008(b), respectively, on the
basis of requirements that are
substantially equivalent or equivalent to
EPA's. Hie procedures and schedule for
State program modifications for either
interim or final authorization are
described in 40 CFR 271.21. It should be
noted that HSWA interim authorization
will expire on January 1,1993 (see 40
CFR 271.24(c)).
Section 27X21 (e)(2) requires that
States that have final authorization must
modify their programs to reflect Federal
program changes and must subsequently
submit the modification to EPA for
approval. Hie deadline by which the
State must modify its program to adopt
these regulations is July 1,1991, in
accordance with section 271.21(e). These
deadlines can be extended in certain
cases (see section 271.21(e)(3)). Once
EPA approves the modification, the
State requirements become subtitle C
RCRA requirements.
States with authorized RCRA
programs may already have
requirements similar to those in today's
rule. These State regulations have not
been assessed against the Federal
regulations being promulgated today to
determine whether they meet the tests
for authorization. Thus, a State is not
authorized to implement these
requirements in lieu of EPA until the
State program modification is approved.
Of course. States with existing
standards may continue to administer
and enforce their standards as a matter
of State law. In implementing the
Federal program, EPA will work with
States under agreements to minimize
duplication of efforts. In many cases,
EPA will be able to defer to the States in
their efforts to implement their programs
- rather than take separate actions under
Federal authority.
States that submit official applications
for final authorization less than 12
mouths after the effective date of these
regulations are not required to include
-------
2287B Federal Register J Vol 55. Nol. 108 / Friday, June 1.1S90 / Bales and Regulations
standards equivalent to these
lpgwlmHmig hi Auto nppllrnHm.
However, the State mast modify its
program by the deadline set forth in
§ 27L21{e). States that submit official
applications far final authorisation 12
months after the effective date of these
regulations most include standards
equivalent to these regulations in fteir
application. The geqiriraimantsa state

authorization application an aetlorthin

The regulations tefeig promulgated
today need not affect the State's

authorized to administer the UIC
program under the SafeDrinldng Water
Act (SDWA) could continue to da so

these amendments. However, a State
which wished to implement Part 148 and
receive authorization to grant

that it had the requisite authority to
administer sections 30D4(f) and (g} of . ¦
RCRA. The conditions under which such
an authorization may take place are
summarized below and are rflsraiBradin

disposal restrictions, hazardous waste
generators might illegally discharge their

treatment, which could cause damage to
the local ecosystem and potentially pose
health risks from direct exposure or
fltuna generators might treat their
wastes prior to discharging to a POTW,
but the treatment step itself could
increase risks to the environment For
example, if incineration were the
pretreatment step, metals and other
hazardous constituents present in air
scrubber waters could be discharged to
surface waters. However, the amount of
Third Third waste shifted to POTWs
would betindted by such factors as the
physical form of the waste, the degree of

and State and local regulations.

land itinpmml to nrwii Hunting and
ocean-based incineration. If the cost of

transportation were lower than the cost
of land-based treatment, disposal and
transportation, this option could seem to
be an attractive alternative. In addition,
ocean-based disposal could seem
attractive to the regulated community if
land-based treatment were not
available.
However, die Ocean Dumping Ban
Act of1988 has restricted ocean
dumping of sewage sludge and
industrial wastes to existing, authorized
dumpers until December 31,1991, after
which"... it shall be unlawful for any
person to dump (sewage sludge or
industrial wastes) into ocean waters..
Therefore, the Ocean Damping dan Act
has made moot any economic or other
incentive to ocean dump industrial
hazardous wastes, including the wastes
subject to this regulation.
C. Wellhead Protection Regulated under
the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
Section 1428 of the SDWA contains
requirements for the development and
implementation of state Wellhead
Protection (WHP) Programs to protect
wells aod weUfields which are used, or
may be used to provide drinking water
to pnbBc water systems. Under section
1428, each state must adopt and submit

contamination within the expected wellhead
area of a new water well which serves a
public water system; and
(7) Requires public participation in
developing the WHP program.
SDWA required all states to submit a
WHP program to EPA by June 19,1989,
for EPA review and approval. EPA has
received 29 state submittals for review.
SDWA requiies that all Federal
agencies having jurisdiction over any-
potential source of contaminants
identified by a state program under this
section shall comply with all the
requirements of the state program.
Any private or public entity subject to
the land disposal restrictions regulations
must also be in compliance with the
appropriate state's wellhead protection
program. Hie Agency reiterates that the
land disposal of hazardous wastes must
comply not only with the land disposal
restrictions and other RCRA regulations,
but with other environmental programs,
such as the Wellhead Protection
Program under the Safe Drinking Water
Act
D. Air Emissions Regulated Under the
Clean Air Act (CAA)
There are two air emission concerns
with respect to the land disposal
restrictions. The first is a cross-media
concern about air emissions that occur
as a result of waste treatment such as
incineration of metal-bearing wastes
causing metal emissions to the
atmosphere. Another concern is with air
emissions from the land disposal of the
treatment residue. Air emissions control
programs are under development using
both the CAA and RCRA to address
these concerns as discussed below.
Specific cross-medla.air emission -
concerns have been identified for
treatment technologies applicable to :
Third Third wastes, but EPA believes
that existing Clean Air Act controls
adequately address die potential
problems. Retorting of mercury sulfide
wastes can result in air emissions of
both elemental mercury and sulfur
dioxide (S02). The Agency has
promulgated a National Emission
Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for mercury emissions under
section 112 of die CAA (40 CFR part 61,
subpart E). There are no Industry-
spetific national CAA control standards
for S02'emissions from retorting
mercury sulfide wastes. There are;
however, regulations for the prevention
of significant deterioration (PSD) of air
quality that would address not only
these SOZ emissions but also any
mercury emissions that are not
regulated by the NESHAP.
The NESHAP limits mercury
emissions to the atmosphere from
mercury processing facilities, mercury
cell chlor-allcali plants, and plants that
incinerate and/or dry wastewater
treatment plant sludges. In all these
cases, the NESHAP limits mercury
emissions across the entire processing
facility to the extent necessary to
protect human health. The NESHAP
would not apply to a dedicated mercury
sulfide waste retorting facility that is not
located in an ore processing or a
mercury cell chlor-alkali plant EPA is
addressing problems of potential
mercury emissions by requiring that
retorters either be subject to the
NESHAP or operate with the PSDs on
which the NESHAP was based*
Under section 165(a) of the CAA, all
new major stationary sources and major
modifications to existing sources of air
pollution must obtain a PSD permit If
the mercury of S02 emissions from the
retorting process were to come from a
major stationary source or a major
modification subject to the PSD
regulations and would be emitted in
significant amounts (greater than 0.1
tons per year of mercury or 40 tons per
Sear of S02), then such emissions would
e subject to best available control
technology (BACT) requirements. An air
quality analysis for mercury and S02
would also be required under PSD.
Moreover, an air quality analysis must
be conducted to demonstrate that the
S02 emissions would neither cause nor
contribute to violations of any national
ambient air quality standard (NAAQS)
or PSD Increment for SO2. Facilities that
are located in areas that have failed to
meet any NAAQS for S02 (Le„
designated nonattachment areas) and
emit more than 100 tons per year of SOZ,
must not only apply emission controls
that meet the lowest achievable
emission rate but also offset their
remaining S02 emissions by acquiring
federally enforceable emission
reductions from other nearby S02
emissions sources.
The Agency is also concerned
whether incineration of wastes
containing brominated organics or
organo-nitrogen compounds may
adversely affect air quality. The
presence of bromine complicates the
evaluation of incineration of these
wastes. A detailed discussion of the
Agency's approach for brominated
organics is contained in section IILAS.b
of today's preamble. A discussion of
potential nitrogen oxide emissions from
organo-nitrogen wastes is contained in
section IIIJL5.C.
There are several general regulatory
development programs under RCRA that
address treatment technology air
emissions. Hie Agency has initiated a
three-phased program under $ 3004{n] of
RCRA to address air emissions from
hazardous waste management units
other than incinerators. The first phase
addresses organic air emissions as a
class from two types of emission
sources. The first source category is
process equipment (pumps, valves, etc.)
that contact hazardous waste that
contain greater than 10 percent organic
compounds, including such as
distillation units and incinerators. The
second source category is certain vents
on various treatment technologies, such
as air or steam strippers. These
standards were proposed in the Federal
Register on February 5,1987 (52 FR 3748)
and are expected to be promulgated this
spring.
The second phase of standards
development under section 3004{n) of
RCRA addresses organic air emissions
as a class from tanks, containers, and
surface impoundments. Treatment
technologies that occur in tanks or
containers that are not controlled by the
Phase I standards would be controlled
by these standards. Wastes that would
be prohibited from land disposal may
continue to be managed in a surface
impoundment as long as the treatment
residuals that do not meet the applicable
treatment standards are removed from
the impoundment within one year of
entry into the impoundment These
standards will control air emissions,
from the management of wastes in the
surface impoundment These standards
are expected to be proposed in the
Federal Register this spring.
In the third phase of the section
'3004(h) standards development the
Agency will develop additional
standards for the sources addressed in
-------
228TB Federal Register / VoL 55. No. 106 / Friday. June 1. 1390 / Rules and Regulations
the first two phases as necessaiy to
address residual risks.
In addition to the section 3004{n)
standards, general standards to control
both organic and metal wntastons from
the combustion of hazardous waste in
incinerators and other types of
combustion devices are under various
stages of development
In certain cases, waste treatment may
occur in treatment technologies that are
not required to obtain RCRA permits.
Guidance for the control of air emissions
from these sources, such as exempt
biological treatment tanks and recycling
units, is being developed under die
CAA.
None of fhe regulatory efforts

Response, Compensation, and liability
Act
The land disposal restrictions may
have significant effects on the selection
and implementation of response actions
that are taken under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA). Thereare three primary
areas in which these effects may occur.
One area that may be affected by the
land disposal restrictions is in fee
selection of treatment standards at &e"
remedial action site. The cleanup
standards set at CERCLA sites are risk-
based, while treatment standards
developed under the land disposal
restrictions program are technology-
based. Therefore, the technology-based.
treatment standards may be store
stringent than the risk-based cteannp
standanfa developed based on the
CERCLA selection of remedy criteria,
and vice versa. Another matter that may
be affected is the treatment of soft and
debris contaminated with wastes
restricted from laud disposal
Contaminated sofl and debris are a
primary type of waste that most be
remediated at most CERCLA sites. In '
many cases, the soil matrix is different
from that of the industrial wastes far
which treatment standards are set
requested be granted a variance from
the treatment standard (§ 28844) or a
"no-migration" variance ($ 2B&B).
Finally, even though the hazardous
substances at a CERCLA remediation
site may have been disposed prior to tba
effective date of RCRA, if the action
involves removal of restricted wastes
after the prohibition effective data, the
land disposal restrictions are legally
applicable (51FR 40S77, November 7,
1988). See also Chemical Waste
Management v. EPA. 889 F. 2d at 1535-
37 (D.C. Or. lS&ty. For example, if a
waste is excavated from a unit treated,
and redisposed. EPA has indicated that
"placement" {sot RCRA section 3004(kJ)
of the waste in a land disposal unit has
occurred, and the applicable treatment
standards must be met (see 53 FR 31444
and 51445, Qecembera. 1388}.
However, if the waste is capped in
place, removal or "placement" has not
occurred, and the treatment standards
are not legally applicable.
F. -Applicability ofTreatment Standards
to Wastes from Pesticides Regulated
Under the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, tmd Rodentidde Act
A number of generators of pesticide
waste that have heretofore been
comparatively unaware of the land
disposal restrictions may be regulated
under today's rulemaking. This will
require that die Agency develop
comply with the treatment standards or
. on how to comply with die requirements
of the land disposal restrictions.
Generators of atgniflmnt quantities of
pesticide P and U wastes are farmers
and commercial pesticide applicators.
Tlie provisions of 40 CFR 2B&70 and
288.1 exempt fanners from regulation
under the land disposal restrictions
program; however no such exemption
exists ibr commercial applicators. Such ~
generators of hazardous wastes have
traditionally land disposed their
pesticide wastes. With promulgation of
today's fiaal rule, these generators must
comply with the requirements of the
lmd disposal restrictions if they dispose
a restricted hazardous waste.

VL Regulatory Requirements
A. Regulatory Impact Analysis—Surface
Disposed Wastes
In accordance with Executive Order
No. 12291, the Agency has reviewed the
costs and benefits of today's final rule
and has determined that today's final
rule constitutes a "major regulation"
because it results In an annual cost to
the economy In excess.of $100 million.
Asa result of this determination, the
Agency has conducted a regulatory
impact analysis (RIA) in support of
today's final rule. The complete R1A
document Regulatory Impact Analysis
of the Land Disposal Restrictions for
Third Third Scheduled Wastes Final
Rule (April 24,1990), is available for
review in the public docket for today's
final rule. The complete document was
also submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review, as
required by Executive Order No. 12291.
This section of die preamble
summarizes the results of the regulatory
impact analysis of the final rule, as
detailed in the RIA document, as well as
comments received on the regulatory
impact analysis for the proposed rule.
Section VLAJ below describes the
universe of wastes and facilities
affected by today's rule. Section VLAJ
below summarizes the analysis of
human health and environmental
benefits attributable to today's rule.
Section VLAJ summarizes die economic
cost and impact analysis performed for
today's rule.
The Agency analyzed benefits, costs,
and economic impacts using the same
approach and methodology that was
used for the August 17,1968, First Third
final rule (53 FR 31138].84 The effects of
the final rule were estimated by
comparing post-regulatory management
practices and conditions with those
occurring under baseline conditions.
Two post-regulatory scenarios were
examined. Under the first scenario, the
"subtitle C" scenario, all treatment
residuals would be disposed of in
subtitle C units. For the second, "subtitle
D," scenario, all characteristic waste
treatoent residuals would be disposed
of in Subtitle D units. The baseline was

defined as continued land disposal of
wastes in units meeting minimum
technological requirements.
The Agency adjusted reported waste
management practices to reflect
compliance with the land disposal
restriction rules covering solvents and
dioxins, California list wastes, and First
and Second Tliird schednled wastes. In
making these adjustments, EPA
assumed that facilities would comply
with these other rules by the least costly
methods allowable. However, though
First Third soft hammerwastes were
examined under the first Third rule
Second Third soft hammerwastes are
included in today's analysis. Thus, all
First Third, Second Third, and Third
Third wastes have been addressed in
the land disposal restrictions rules
collectively.
1. Overview of Affected Wastes,
Facilities, and Management
Hie universe of waste and facilities
examined for the R1A was developed
from EPA's "National Survey of -
Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage,
Disposal, and Recycling Facilities"
(hereafter, the TSDR Burvey) and EPA's
1984 "National Survey of Hazardous
Waste Generators and Treatment
Storage, and Disposal Facilities
Regulated under RCRA in 1981"
(hereafter, the RIA Mail survey). Data
from these surveys have been updated
as part of the capacity analysis
accompanying this rulemaking (see
discussion in Section 3B). The data used
for the final regulatory analysis reflect
this updated data base and are
¦consistent wfth the data, used for thg
capacity analysis accompanying the
proposed rule.
As with past land disposal restrictions
RIAs, die TSDR and RIA Mail surveys
provide an overview of die number of
facilities treating, storing, and disposing
of waste; the quantities and types of
waste (by RCRA waste code) managed
at each facility; and the current practice
or method of treatment The adjusted
information contained in the two
surveys is accepted as the baseline (Le-,
pre-Third Third rule) practice for this
RIA.
Several commenters noted that the
quantities of waste estimated do not
include non-hazardous waste that may
have been affected by the Agency's
proposed dilution prohibition. In today's
rule, however, the Agency to allowing
facilities that discharge their
characteristic wastes under a NPDES
permit or dispose of it in a UIC well to
dilute. The Agency is also allowing
facilities that generate non-toxic'
characteristic wastes (with the
exception of high TOC ignitable
nonwastewaters, reactive cyanide
wastes, and reactive sulfide wastes) to
dilute their wastes in order to achieve
treatment standards. However,
characteristic wastes discharged
pursuant to an NPDES permit with a
" specified method, cannot be rendered
nonhazardous through dilution alone.
The Agency believes, therefore, that it
has accurately analyzed the impact of
today's rule.
Quantity of Affected Waste. Today's
rule affects approximately 277 million
gallons of waste per year as shown in
Table Vt-1. An additional 44 million
gallons (per year) of multisource
leachate may also be affected by today's
rule.

Waste Management Practices. Based
on the TSDR survey, the RIA examined
five land disposal baseline management
practices: disposal in landfills, disposal
by land treatment disposal in surface
impoundments, treatment in waste piles,
and storage in waste piles. Table VI-4
provides a breakdown of these baseline
management practices by volume and
number of facilities. As shown,
approximately half of the waste volume
covered by the final rule is currently
managed In landfills. Landfills are also
the most prevalent baseline practice,
occurring at just over one half of the
affected facilities.

The quantity of multisource leachate
is not well characterized at present
However, the RIA estimates that over
150 million gallons of leachate are
generated (annually) creating up to 44
million gallons of leachate residue
subject to the land disposal restrictions.
Treatment practices in compliance -
with today's final rule significantly .
redistribute the quantities of waste
among managemnt practices. Most
important while 277 million gallons of
waste per year are land disposed under
baseline management practices (of
which 212 million gallons are landfilled),
206 million gallons of waste per year -
would be disposed of in lanHfilia under
the subtitle C sceiuuio as a result of
today's final rule and 208 million gallons
of waste per yew under the subtitle D
scenario. Thus, the final rule results in a
28percentreductionjta the volume of
Third Third wastes being land disposed
under the Subtitle C scenario, and a 25
percent reduction under the subtitle D
Scenario. Many of the wastes covered -
by the final rule are treated by chemical
precipitation or stabilization.
2. Benefits of the Final Rule
The final rale would result in several
benefits including reduced human health
risks, imroved safety at facilities, and
reduced ecological effects. As with -
previous land disposal restrictions, die ¦
Agency quantified the human health* .
- benefits aind conducted a qualitative ¦
analysis of the other benefits.
Human Health Benefits. The ~
quantitative benefits analysis estimated
that over a 70-year lifetime, the final rule
reduces cancer cases by 318 and '
- reduces die number of people exposed
to at least one noncarcmogen above
health-based criteria'by aboutMOO.-
Theae results are the same for both
scenarios.
In general the majority of cancer -
cases averted is due to reduced
inhalation exposure to benzene,
. acrylonitrilei phenanthrene, - .
tiuroanthene, dichloromethane and
other carcinogenic constituents in D0O1
ignitable wastes and mixtures of
ignitable and reactive wastes. The
majority noncardnogenic benefits Is due
to reduced ingestion of cadmium (D008),
chromium (D007), lead (D008), as well as
mixtures with these metals or mercury
and. D001 ignitable waste containing
pentaclorob enzene and methanol.
It is important to note that these
human health benefits are highly
. sensitive to the facility, (and population)
and waste .characterizations used for the
analysis. In fact the majority of human
health benefits is due to a limited
number of waste streams at a few
facilities. For example, over 4*000 of the
non-cancer "benefits" result from the
reduction of a highly concentrated
chromium waste that leaches to ground
water used as a drinking water source
for a populous Northeastern community.
And nearly 1,000 non-cancerHbenefitsH
are attributable to reducing high
concentration air releases of
pentachlorobenzene and methanol in a
land application and a landfill unit .
Similarly, over 200 of thecancercases
averted Tesult from reducing irir releases
of phenanthrene end fluroanthene in
land application units at two facilities.
What these examples reveal is the
relationship betweeh human health
benefits, and the attributes of a facility.
Given any data base, the facilities with. -
highly concentrated waste in densely
populated area*will significantly drive
thehuman health benefits results.
Therefore, we believe that the data
gives a true representation of reality by
the inclusion of these few driving
. facilities.
The Agency has not estimated
benefits attributable .to treating
multisource leachate residue because of
a lack of characterization and facility
data. However: the Agency, by way of a
screening analysis, developed a
hypothetical characterization of -
multisource leachate residue and
simulated releases at several well-
defined, facilities. While the. results are
extremely sensitive to-the assumptions
and hypothetical characterization, they
. showed the possibility of roughly 200
cancer and 200 non^cancer cases
avoided. Again, these results an highly
uncertain because of the lack of
sufficient data, but they do suggest that
the benefits associated with the
treatment of multisource leachate
residues may be significant
The Agencybelieves that the overall
benefit estimates are uncertain and may
overstate or underestimate the human-
health benefits of the proposed rule The
. RCRA Risk-Cost Analysis model does
not contain enough data to model all of
the constituents found in the Third Third
wastes. As a mult benefits of
regulating wastes with one or more of
these missing constituents may be
underestimated. This underestimate is
most likely to occur for wastes
containing pesticides, the sole
hazardous constituent of D012-D017,
and about 18 "P" wastes.
Human health benefits may also be
underestimated because the benefits
model only includes exposure via
¦ drinking water or air. Not estimated ere
the deleterious effects from consuming
of contaminated'food, such as fish
caught downstream of releases,
recreation exposure, due to contact with
polluted rivers, lakes, or streams, and
the averting of public benefits due to the
destruction of these recreational areas.
At the same time, benefits may be
overestimated due to conservative
exposure assumptions. Exposure
scenarios are based on drinking 2 liters/
'day for seventy years of contaminated
water or inhalation of 20 cubic meters/
day of air for seventy years.
Safety Benefits. In addition to adverse
human health effects, ignitable (D001)
and reactive (D003) wastes may pose a
general safety hazard. In the past land
disposal of these wastes has only been
allowed if the waste either is
deactivated or precautions are taken to
prevent accidental ignition or reaction.
Until the ignitable or reactive wastes are
deactivated, there is some continuing
risk that die precautions may fail,
resulting in fires, explosions, or release
of toxic gases. The final rule requires
deactivation of the approximately 24
milUfCTi gallons of D001 and D003 being
land disposed, thereby eliminating the
safety risk. However, this benefit is not
significant due to the popular practice of
deactivation currently employed by
facilities.
Environmental Benefits. The final rule
results in an overall reduction in toxic
releases to the environment thereby
reducing adverse effects to ecosystems.
The resulting improvement in ecological
health is extremely difficult to quantify
due to uncertainty in estimating
exposure levels and species populations.
However, the sensitivity of certain
species to hazardous constituents of
wastes covered by the final rule
suggests a very high potential for
ecological effects.
As an example, aquatic species are at
least two orders of magnitude more
sensitive than humans to arsenic (D004).
mercury (D009), silver (D011). lindane
(0013), methoxychlor (DOM), and
toxaphene (D015). Therefore, aquatic
ecosystems may be at some risk even
when there is no human health risk.
-------
Federal Register / Vol 55. No. 106 7 Friday. June 1. 1990 / Rules and Regulations
22681
Another way to look at the potential
for ecological effects is to consider the
proximity of land disposal facilities to
' waterbodies. A recant Agency study on
ecological risks showed that for a
sample of 52 National Priorities List
sites, almost 90 percent of the sites ..
posed a threat to freshwater ecosystems,
doe to their proximity to waterbodies.88
Wastes removed from some of these
sites may be subject to the treatment
standards promulgated in this rale.
Thus, the final rale reduces ecological .
risk associated with Third Third wastes
managed at these sites.
3. Costs
¦ The final rale results in an annual
incremental cost of approximately <353
million under the Subtitle D scenario'
and $440 million under the Subtitle C
scenario, and affects over 1,700 facilities
in 22 industrial sectors. Table Vl-S
summarizes the estimated incremental
costs associated with today's final rule
bywastetype. ¦

As expected, based an volumes, the
largest incremental cost is attributed to
the management of D008 [lead) waste.
Although the listed wastes are a small
volume and have the lowest total cost,
expensive treatment technologies such
as incineration result in a much higher
cost per volume treated. Conversely, the
corrosive wastes and mixtures with
corrosive wastes are relatively
inexpensive to neutralize, resulting in a
low cost per volume treated.
Five characteristic waBtea contribute
about 45 percent of the incremental cost
of the rule as shown in table VI-8. EP

The cost of treating D002corrosive
wastes attributed to the final rule may
be overestimated by as much as $5
million because some of these wastes
may be treated due to the California List
Land Disposal Restrictions rule (52 FR
25780). That rule established a
performance standard prohibiting land
disposal of wastes with a pH less than 2,
while die final p»i« establishes a
technology-based standard of
deactivation (Le« neutralization). The
Agency does not have' data on how
facilities are meeting the California List
standard. Without specific data about
the post£alifomia List practices, the
entire cost of neutralizing D0Q2 acidic
wastes were attributed to this final rule.
4. Economic Impacts
Tables VI-7 and VI-8 summarize the
cost and economic impact of die final
rule under subtitle D and subtitle C,
respectively. Compliance costs are the
tax-adjusted revenue requirements
needed to fond the incremental costs
discussed above. Significantly affected
facilities are those that either need to
increase costs by more than 5 percent or
their compliance costs exceed 5 percent
of their cash from Operations.

The economic analysis estimates that
the final rule does not have a significant
effect on industry. The effects of the
final rule are distributed over a wide
range oflndustries in 22 major industrial
groups rather than concentrated in a few
industries.
Generators are the type of facilities
that incur the largest economic impact
The analysis estimates that 91 percent
of the compliance cost are borne by
.generators under both subtitle C and
subtitle D scenarios. Also, 33 percent of
the affected generators are significantly
affected under subtitle C scenario, and
25 percent are significantly affected
xinder subtitle D scenario.
The analysis estimates that 14
facilities would close as a result of the
final rule. By comparison, the First Third
rule was estimated to result in almost
200 closures. These 14 potential closures
represent less than 4 percent of die 429
significandy affected generators under
subtitle D scenario and less than 3
percent of the 552 significantly affected
generators under subtitle C scenario.
The TSDR survey identified only 2
small businesses that currently land
dispose Third Third waste. Neither is
significandy affected under the final
rule.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis—
Surface Disposed Waste
Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility
Act 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq„ whenever an
Agency is required to publish a notice of
rulemaking, it must prepare and make
available for public comment a
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (RFA)
that describes the effect of the rule on
small entities (Le.. small businesses,
small organizations, and small
governmental jurisdictions). This
analysis is unnecessary, however, if the
Agency's Administrator certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic
effect on a substantial"number of small
entities.
-------
F« 1 Regster / VoL 55, No. 106 / Friday. Jane 1. 1990 / Ru and Regulations
EPA evaluated the economic effect of
the final role on small entities, here
AnfinaA as firms employing fewer than
SO persons. Becauseof data limitations,
the Agency was. unable to include
generators of large quantities of Third .
Third wastes. The small business
population, therefore Included only two <
groups: all noncommercial TSDFs
employing fewer than 50 persons-and all
small quantity generators (SQGs) that
were also small businesses. Asa result
the effect of the final rule on small ...-
. businesses la underestimated^ However,
the Agency would not expect the
conclusions of the small business -
analysis, to significantly if die
generator data were available.
According to EPA's guidelines for
conducting.an RFA. if over20percent of
the pojpulation of small businesses,
«m»ll organizations, or small
government Jurisdictions is. likely to
experience financial distress based on
the costs of the *ul£ thai the Agency is .
required to consider that the rule will .
have a significant effect on a substantial
number of small entities and to perform
a formal RFA. EPA has examined the
final rule's effects on small entities as
required by the Regulatory Flexibility -
Act- •
The economic analysis identified only
2 small businesses affected by the final
rule. Neither of the 2 would be .
significantly affected. The Administrator
therefore certifies that part 208 does not
have significant economic effects on a
substantial number of small entities. As
a result of this finding, the Agency has
not prepared a formal RFA.
C Regulatory Impact Analysis—
Underground Injected Wastes .
. The Agency has completed-a separate
regulatory impact analysis for
underground injeeted wastes affected by
today's final rule. The completed RIA
document Regulatory Impact Analysis
of Proposed Hazardous Waste Disposal
Restrictions For Class I Injection of'
Third Thirds List Wastes, is available in
thepublicdocket for the final rule.
There an 65 infection fadlities^of the

"no migration" petitions as outlined in
40CFR part 148 [See 53 FR 28118
preamble for a more thorough discussion
of the no migration petition review.
process). Hie additional facilities
affected by today's rulemaking
substantially contribute to overall
compliance costs already incurred by
Class I injection well owners and
operators managing hazardous wastes
regulated by previous rulemaking.
The Agency analyzed costs and
benefits lor today's rule by using the
same approach and methodology
developed'in the Regulatory Impact
Analysis of the Underground Injection
Control Program: Proposed Hazardous
Waste Disposal Injection Restrictions
used for the July 28,1988 final rule (53
FR 28118) and subsequent rulemaking..
An analysis was performed to assess.
tha economic effect of associated
compliance costs for the-additional
volumes of bijected wastes attributable
to today's final rule. '
Total compliance costs for injected
wastes are estimated-at $54 million
annually. Alternative treatment costs
are estimated at $537 million annually,
and no migration petition costs are
annualized at $1X3 million. The RIA
estimates that 17 facilities will
eventually treat their wastes, and.
therefore be significantly affected
economically by today's final rule. All of
these costs will be incurred by Class I
hazardous injection well owners and
operators.
Hie benefits to human health and the
environment in the RIA are generally
defined a» the reducedhuman health
risk resulting from fewer instances of
ground-water contamination. In general,
potential health risks from Class I
hazardous waste injection wells are
extremely low. However, die RIA
references a few isolated cases where
rides to human health and the
environment may be greater, but are Still
too low to quantify. These cases involve
possible grout seal failure around the
protective casing of an injection well,
and the occurrence of unplugged bore
holes around die injection well site. Of
studies-conducted to describe Class I
well problems, only six wells, or less
than, two percent of all Class I wells,
were reported to have experienced.
malfunctions that contributed to any •
contamination of the surface or an
underground source-of drinking water.
No- health-related problems attributed to
Class 1 injection were reported. -
D. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis—
Underground Injection Wastes
Owners and operators of hazardous
waste injection wells are generally
major chemical, petrochemical, and .
other manufacturing companies. The '
Agency is not aware of any small.
entities of injection wells that would be
affected by part 148 of today's final rale.
The Administrator therefore certifies
that part 148 and part 268 will not have
significant economic effects on a
substantial number of small entitles. As
a result of this finding, the Agency has
not prepared a formal RFA
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
Alt information collection
requirements in this final rule were .
promulgated in previous land disposal
restrictions rulemakings (including those
for die Underground Injection Control
Program) and approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) at that
time. Since there are no new information
collection requirements being.,
promulgated today, an Information
Collection Request has not been -
prepared.
P Review of Supporting Documents
The primary source of information on
current land disposal practices and
industries affected by this rule was
EPA's.1888 "National Survey of
Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage,
Disposal, and Recycling Facilities" (the
TSDR Survey). The average quantity of
waste contributed by generator facilities
was obtained from EPA's "National
Survey of Hazardous Waste Generators
and Treatment Storage, and Disposal
Facilities Regulated under RCRA in
1981" (April 1984).
Waste stream characterization data
and engineering costs of waste
management were based on the
following EPA documents:
• "Characterization of Waste Streams
Listedin 40 CFR Section 281 Waste
Profiles," Vols. I and II (August 1985);
• "Characterization of Constituents
from Selected Waste Streams Listed in
40 CFR Section 281." Vols. I and D
(August 1985);
• RCRA background and listing
documents for 40 CFR Section 261:
• RCRA Section 3007 industry studies;
• "RCRA Risk-Cost Analysis Model.
Appendix A: Waste Stream Data Base"
(March 1984):
• Source assessment documents for
various industries; and
• "1988-1987 Survey of Selected Firms
in the Commercial Hazardous Waste
Management Industry: Final Report"
(March 1988).
Financial information for the
economic impact analysis was obtained
from the 1982 Census of Manufacturers
and 1984 Annual Survey of
v Manufacturers. Producer price indices
v were used to restate 1984 dollars in 1990

(a) Table CCWE identifies the
restricted wastes and the concentrations
of their associated constituents which
may not be exceeded by the extract of a
waste or waste treatment residual
developed using the test method in
Appendix I of this part for the allowable
land disposal of such wastes, with the
exception of wastes D004,0008, K031,
K084, K10L K102, P010, P011, P012, P038,

of their associated constituents which
may not be exceeded by the extract of a
waste or waste treatment residual
developed using the test method in
Appendix I of this part or appendix II of
40 CFR part 281 for the allowable land
disposal of such wastes. (Appendix n of
this part provides Agency guidance on
treatment methods that have been
shown to achieve the Table CCWE
levels for the respective wastes.
Appendix II of this part is not a
regulatory requirement but is provided
to assist generators and owners/
operators in their selection of
appropriate treatment methods.)
Compliance with these concentrations is
required based upon grab samples.

Tedmologes to Achieve Deactivation of
Characteristics in Section 28&£Z
The treatment standard for many
subcategories of D001, D002. and D003
wastes as well as for K044.K045, and
K047 wastes is listed in 288.42 simply as
"Deactivation to remove the
characteristics of ignitability.
coirosivity, and reactivity". EPA has
determined that many technologies,
when used alone or in combination, can
achieve this standard. The following
appendix presents a partial list of these
technologies, utilizing the five letter .
technology codes established in 40 CFR
28042Table t Use of these specific
technologies is not mandatory and does
not preclude direct reuse, recovery, and /
or the use of other pre treatment
technologies provided deactivation is
achieved and these alternative methods
are not performed in units designated as

ENDNOTES
1. This appendix does not address LDR restrictions tor deepwell-lnlected wastes or mixed radioactive wastes. For mom Information on deepwelt-ln/ected wastes, sea 40 CFR
140; for more Information on mixed radioactive wastes, see 40 CFR 268.
2. Appendices A-2 (F001-F005, F020-F023, and F026-F02B), A-4 (First, Second, and Third Third wastes), and AS (Multi-Source Laachata) provide complete waste code
descriptions and, where appropriate, complete explanation of treatment standards and BDATs.
3. If a site contains a RCRA listed or characteristic hazardous waste, the site manager should also determine whether the waste Is a California list waste. The restrictions for
California list wastes are summarized In Appendix A-1(b).
4. EPA considers "wastewaters' to be wastes containing less than one percent total organic carbon (TOC) and less than one percent total filterable solids. All other
substances are 'nonwastewaters.'
5. Soil and debris wastes are subject to restrictions listed under the category 'nonwastewaters,' except where noted otherwise.
6. Inorganic solid debris applies only to D004 through D011 wastes. For a detailed definition of Ms treatability group, sea 40 CFR 268.
7. All Third Third wastes were granted a ttuee-month national capacity variance; therefore, treatment standards for these wastes, unless noted otherwise, will be effective as of
August 8, 1000. During the period of May 8, 1000 and August 8, 1000, wastes must be disposed of In a unit that meets the RCRA minimum technology requirements.
8. This waste was newly listed on October 23, 1985. EPA Is required to set LDR treatment standards for these wastes wHhln 8 months of the data of listing, but no hammer
provisions apply.
0. This waste was newly listed on February 13, 1086. EPA Is required to set LDR treatment standards for these wastes within 8 months of the date of listing, but no hammer
provisions apply.
10. This waste was newly listed on October 24, 1088. EPA Is required to set LDR treatment standards for these wastes within 8 months of the data of listing, but no hammer
provisions apply.

1. Under the LDRs, the California list prohibitions may continue to apply In circumstances when: (1) Liquid hazardous wastes contain over 50 ppm PCBs, where the PCBs are not
regulated by the treatment standards; (2) HOC-contalnlng wastes are Identified as hazardous by a characteristic property that does not Involve HOCs, such as an Ignltable
waste that also contains greater than 1,000 ppm HOCs; (3) Liquid hazardous wastes contain a total concentration of more than 134 mg/l of nickel and/or 130 mg/l of thallium
(because these two constituents are not regulated under the characteristic of toxicity); and (4) Wastes granted a two-year national capacity variance are also California Ust
wastes, until the treatment standards become effective.
2. Appendix A-2 provides complete waste code descriptions, and where appropriate, complete explanation of treatment standards and BDATa.
3. EPA considers "wastewaters' to be wastes containing less than one percent total organic carbon (TOC) and less than one percent total filterable solids.
4. Soil and debris wastes are subject to restrictions listed under the category 'nonwastawaters,' except where noted otherwise.

APPENDIX A-A
TREATMENT STANDARDS AND EFFECTIVE DATES FOR FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD THIRD WASTES
A-4.188
Thla appendix does not address deepwoll Injoctod wastes. Treatment standards and effective dates lor these wastes are found /n 40 CFR 148. Treatment standards and
effective dates lor multi-source leachate are lound In Appendix A-5. Treatment standards tor mixed radioactive wastes are based on the nonwastewatar treatment standard
lor the hazardous waste; lor the other specific treatability groups lor mixed radioactive wastes, sae 40 CFR 268.
Effective date Is the date the treatment standards take effect lor all First. Second, or Third Third wastes, with the following exceptions: for soil and debris wastes
contaminated with First Third wastes for which BOAT Is Incineration, the effective dale Is August 8, 1990, based on a capacity extension. For soil and debris wastes
contaminated with Second Third wastes lor which BOAT Is Incineration, the effective data Is June 8, 1991, based on a capacity extension. For soil and debris
contaminated with Third Third wastes for which BOAT Is Incineration, mercury retorting, or vitrification, and 'inorganic solid debris,' the effective data Is May 8. 1992, based
on a capacity extension. Until these dates, soli and debris must be disposed of In a unit that meets the RCRA minimum technology requirements.
See 40 CFR 268 Appendix W for recommended technologies to achieve deactivation of these hazardous wastes.
Not applicable.
Detailed information on the basis of wastewater treatment standards by constituent can be found In the document entitled, 'Final Best Demonstrated Available Technology
(BOAT) Background Document for U and P Wastes and Multi-Source Leachate (F039), Volume 1: Wastewater forms of Organic U and P Wastes and Multi-Source Leachate
(F039) for Which There Are Concentration-Based Treatment Standards'
Effective until May 8, 1991. The effective date of final treatment standards for nonwastewaters is being deferred until after this date because of Inadequate high
temperature metals recovery capacity.
Standards do not apply to residues generated as a result of lime (Ca(OH)J treatment that are not classified as hazardous wastes according to 40 CFR 261.3(c)(2)(H),
unless they ere hazardous due to the characteristic of EP toxicity.
Emission control sludges generated as calcium sullate from secondary wet scrubbers using lime neutralization.
9
Emission control sludges that are not generated as a calcium sulfate from secondary wet scrubbers using lime neutralization.

Overview of RCRA
Land Disposal Restrictions
(LDRs)
Hie Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
• • PI* 98-616, signed on November 8, 1984 - • indnde specific provisions restricting the land disposal of RCRA
hazardous wastes. The purpose of these HSWA provisions is to ™the potential of future risk to human health
and the environment by requiring the treatment of hazardous wastes prior to their land disposal. This guide
summarizes m^i°f components of the land disposal restrictions (LDRs), outlines the types of restrictions
Imposed, and presents the compliance options specified In the regulation. Other Superfund LDR Guides are listed
at the end of this guide. More detailed guidance on Superfund compliance with the LDRs is being prepared by the
Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER).
DEFINITION OF LAND DISPOSAL
The LDRs place restrictions on the land disposal
of RCRA hazardous wastes. The definition of land
disposal (or "placement,* which is synonymous with
land disposal") under RCRA includes, but is not
limited to:
any "placemen?" of hazardous waste in a landfill,
surf act impoundment, waste pile, injection weS,
land treatment faaEty, salt dome formation, salt
bed formation, underground mine or cave, and
concrete bunker or vault (RCRA §3004(k))
The LDRs apply only to RCRA hazardous wastes
that are land disposed or placed. They do not apply
to wastes that are discharged to surface waters (where
National Pollutant Discharge FHnrination System
(NPDES) requirements apply) or to Publicly Owned
Treatment Works (where pretreatment requirements
apply). The LDRs also do not apply to contaminated
ground water treated and supplied directly to
households (where Maximum Contaminant Levels
(MCLs) generally apply).
It is important to note that the LDRs apply
prospectively to wastes that are land disposed after the
effective date of the restrictions (La, the LDRs do
not require that wastes land disposed prior to the date
of the restrictions be removed and treated).
STATUTORY DEADLINES
HSWA (Greeted EPA to establish treatment
«rawHarrU for each of seven groups of RCRA
hazardous wastes by specific dates. These dates,
referred to as statutory deadlines, will eventually
restrict land disposal of all RCRA hazardous wastes,

-------
The statutory « are important because they
are the on which RCRA wastes become
"restricted," afrhnngh EPA has the authority to restrict
a waste before its statutory dftwflinn. For example, the
Agency has restricted certain Second Third wastes in
the First Third role and certain Third Third wastes in
the June 1989 Second Third rule.
STATUTORY WASTE CATEGORIES
The first category of wastes (refer to Highlight 1)
includes: the P001-F005 spent solvent-containing RCRA
wastes and the F020-FQ23 and FQ26-P028 diaxm-
/fmfgfnfng RCRA wastes. Hie second category, the
California list wastes, is a distinct category of RCRA
hazardous wastes described further in Superfund LDR
Guide #2. The three categories of scheduled wastes
(L&, First Third, Second Third, Third Third wastes)
at! and flwwrtffitfg wastes
identified as of November 8, 1984 (errinrftng the
solvent and dioim wastes mentioned above). EPA
ranked the scheduled wastes based on their toxicity
and volume and placed the highest taaaaty/volume
wastes in the "First Third.' Soil and debris (see
Highlight 2) contaminated with spent solvent' or
ami California list wastes generated
dining CERCLA response and RCRA corrective
actions were given a separate statutory dftarilinr.
Finally, wastes newly identified or listed after 1984
must have standards set within six months of their
idwifififatiftii iin» (or earlier if EPA promulgates the restriction
ahead of schedule). On that date, one of four types of
restrictions will apply:
L Tn-afm^nf rttnAarA* EPA may set one of three
types of treatment standards for restricted wastes:
¦ A concentration level to be achieved prior to
disposal (the most common type of treatment
standard);
¦ A specified technology to be used prior to
disposal; or
¦ A "no land disposal" designation when the
waste is no longer generated, is totally recycled,
is not currently being land disposed, or no
residuals are produced from treatment
All three types of treatment standards are
established based on the best demonstrated available
technology (BDAT) identified for that waste.
1 r-rhnofagy requirements during a national
capacity extension: When EPA sets a treatment
standard, it may grant a national capacity extension
(for up to two years) if sufficient treatment capacity
is not available for that waste. During a national
capacity extension, the treatment standards set for
a waste do not have to be met However, if wastes
that do not meet the standards are disposed of in
a landfill or surface impoundment the receiving unit
must meet the RCRA minimum technology
requirements (Le., double liner, leachate collection
system,, and ground-water monitoring).
When EPA sets treatment standards for Third Third
wastes in May 1990, it may grant a national capacity
extension, but only for up to two years. Therefore,
by May 1992, all national capacity extensions will
have expired. The only exception may be if EPA
grants an extension when it sets treatment standards
for newly identified wastes. Superfund LDR Guide
#3 provides additional information on the minimum
technology requirements.

treatment standard for a First or Second Third
Highlight 2: DEFINITIONS OF SOIL AND
DEBRIS
Soil is defined as materials that are
primarily of geologic origin such as sand, alt,
loam, or day that are indigenous to the natural
geological environment at or near the
CERCLA site. (In many cases, sdl is mixed
with liquids, sludges, and/or debris.)
Debris is defined as materials that are
primarily non-geologic in origin such as grass,
stumps, aw^ man-made as
concrete, clothing, partially buried whole or
empty drums, capacitors, and other synthetic
fnawnfartrtrrng ifwn« SUCfa 3S linCTS. (It dOCS
not indudc synthetic organic chemicals, but
may rncfrnfo marwial* mwramnntwl with these
chemicals.)
-------
waste by its statutory deadline, soft hammer
restrictions apply. The soft iwmiw requirements
place the following restrictions on the disposal of
m and surface impoundments:
¦ Hie receiving unit most meet minimum
technology requirements; and
¦ Site managers (OSCs, RFMs. as generators)
most determine if treatment is practically
available. If treatment is practically available, the
site """ff most use the best practically
available treatment to treat wastes before
disposal; if treatment is not practically available,
the wastes may be disposed of without
treatment
Land disposal in other types of units, such as land
treatment units and waste piles, is £St restricted
under soft hammers, although an LDR notification
will be required for actions involving o&site
Hwpncil jn SUCh nni»t.
Soft restrictions remain in effect until
EPA sets a treatment standard, or until May 1990,
when the hard restrictions become
effective.
H»tA restrictions: If EPA fails to set a
treatment standard by the statutory deadlines for
Solvent* aw A California lift
wastes, or by May 8,1990, for any of the scheduled
wastes, the hard hammer restrictions prohibit all
land disposal of the affected waste until a
treatment standard is promulgated. To date, the
hard hammer has only fallen for certain California
list wastes.
Superfund LDR Guide #4 provides more
Mifftrmghftw gg flgft anH hard hammer restrictions.
LDR COMPLIANCE OPTIONS
EPA rrrognirai that not all wastes can be treated
to the LDR treatment «*a«Hai^jg ami that alternative
treatment standards of ImH disposal may
provide significant reduction m the toxicity, mobility, or
volume of wastes and be protective of hmT"rn health
and the environment. The LDRs, therefore, provide
the following compliance options to meeting the
restrictions discussed above.
¦ Treatabffitv Variance: This notion a available when
EPA has set .a treatment standard as a
concentration level, but because a generator's waste
differs significantly from the waste used to set the
standard, the promulgated treatment standard cannot
be met Q£ the BDAT technology is inappropriate for
that waste. (For the purposes of the LDRs,
CERCLA site managers are considered generators
of hazardous waste.) Under a Treatability Variance,
EPA approves an alternate treatment standard that
must be met before that waste can be land
disposed. Superfund LDR Guides #6A and #6B
provide more information for obtaining Treatability
Variances for remedial and removal actions.
¦ Equivalent Treatment Method Petition: This option
is available when EPA has set a treatment standard
that is a meafied technology (e^, incineration).
Generators may use a different technology (e.g.,
chemical treatment) if they can demonstrate that
this technology will achieve a measure of
performance equivalent to that of the specified
technology.
a No Migration Petition: This option may be used to
meet any of the four types of LDR restrictions.
Under this option, generators may land dispose
wastes that do not meet the LDR restrictions if
.they can demonstrate there will be "no
migration" of hazardous constituents above health-
based levels from the disposal unit or injection zone
for as long as the wastes remain hazardous.
¦ Delisting. This option may be used to demonstrate
that a waste is unhazardous and, therefore, not
subject to any of the RCRA Subtitle C hazardous
waste regulations, including the LDRs. Delisting
only applies when the CERCLA waste is a listed
RCRA hazardous waste. (Characteristic wastes
need not be delisted, but they can be treated to no
longer exhibit the characteristic.) Generators must
demonstrate that: (1) the waste does not meet any
of the criteria for which the waste was listed as a
hazardous waste, and (2) other factors (including
additional constituents) do not cause the waste to
be hazardous.
Hie LDRs also permit a case-by-case extension of
up to two years, which allows a site-specific extension
of the effective date if a generator has a binding
contractual commitment for treatment capacity and can
show that no capacity currently exists anywhere in the
United States. This option, however, is generally not
appropriate for Superfund response actions.
SOIL AND DEBRIS WASTES
As rtiynwd earlier, the LDRs apply to soil and
debris when they are contaminated with a restricted
RCRA hazardous waste. Because of^the complex
-------
nature of many soil and debris matrices (as compared
with the industrial process wastes upon which the LDR
treatment standards were based), it may be difficult to
meet these standards for wastes mixed with soil and
debris. Consequently, the Agency is undertaking a
rulemaking that will set LDR treatment standards
specifically for soil and debris. Until that rulemaking
is completed, however, site managers may need to
obtain a Treatability Variance for actions addressing
contammatrd soil and debris.
OTHER LOR REQUIREMENTS
In addition to the four types of restrictions
described above, the LDRs also include the following
requirements:
¦ Storage Prohibition: The LDRs prohibit the
storage of restricted wastes (including soft hammer
wastes) unless storage is solely for the purpose of

Complying With the California
List Restrictions Under Land
Disposal Restrictions (LDRs)
The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
specific restrictions on the land disposal of RCRA hazardous wastes. California list wastes are a distinct
category of RCRA hazardous wastes that are restricted under the land disposal restrictions (LDRs). This guide
HffluM the California list wastes, summarizes their respective restrictions, and discusses their potential overlap with
other LDR treatment standards. More detailed guidance on California list waste restrictions and Superfund
MwnpKaww» with the LDRs is being prepared by the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER).
DEFINITION OF CALIFORNIA LIST WASTES
To be damnified as a California list waste, three
conditions must be met:
(1) ""¦» —— "¦"» a
waste;
(2) The waste must be a liquid (Le^ it fails method
9095 Paint Filter Liquids Test [PFLT]), except for
Haloaenated Qm™ rnriin0™^ (HOCs^. which
may be liquid or non-liquid; and
(3) The waste must exceed statutory prohibition levels
for specified constituents.
The types of wastes that may be California fist
wastes are: free cyanides, certain «¦«—»«, corrosive
wastes, PCBs, and HOCs. (HOCs are compounds
wrofainitig mhnu «wl ( halOgBB, S] fluorine,
chlorine, bromine, «wi aerating in their
molecular formula). Hie Agency has limited the
restricted HOCs to approximately 100 HOCs fisted in
Appendix m to 40 CFR Part 268. These restricted
HOCs mdude solvents, pesticides, PCBs, and dicixms.
These hazardous wastes are referred to as
California fist wastes because the State of California
developed regulations to restrict the land disposal of
wastes rrmtaming these constituents, and Congress
subsequently incorporated these provisions into the
1984 HSWA amendments to RCRA. Even if LDR
treatment standards have not been promulgated for
certain RCRA wastes (e£, Third Third wastes), these
wastes may be subject to California list restrictions.
If the Agency has promulgated a treatment standard
for a California list hazardous waste, the waste must
attain »haf treatment standard before disposal. If
the Agency has not set a treatment standard, the waste
must be treated to below the prohibition level (or
rendered non-liquid if a non-HOC waste) before it
may be land disposed.
CALIFORNIA LIST LDR RESTRICTIONS
The Agency has promulgated treatment standards
for PCB-confaining wastes and HQC-containing wastes
(except for dilute HOC wastewaters). The treatment
standards for PCBs and some HOCs became effective
on July 8, 1987.
The Agency has not set treatment standards for
the remaining California list wastes. Instead, the
Agency codified the statutory prohibition levels for
corrosive wastes and dilute HOC wastewaters and
allowed the hard hammw provisions to take effect for
free cyanides and California list metals. The
prohibitions on these wastes became effective on July
8,1987. The effects of these restrictions are the same:
prohibiting the land disposal of these wastes above the
prohibition levels.
Based on a finding of inadequate treatment capacity,
EPA granted a nationwide extension to the. effective
date for treating California list HOC wastes until July
8, 1989. The Agency subsequently rescinded the
variance, and the restriction for HOC wastes became
effective November 8, 1988. The Agency also granted
-------
an citcns'on of the effective date for HOC-containiiig
soil aad debris wastes until July 8, 1989, for sofl and
debris wastes not from CERCLA/RCRA corrective
actions, and until November 8,1990, for soil and debris
wastes from CERCLA/RCRA corrective actions.
California list wastes granted a national capacity
variance from the treatment standards may be disposed
of in a landfill or surface impoundment only if the
receiving unit complies with minimum technology
requirements (See Superfund LDR Guide #3). The
prohibition levels, treatment standards, and effective
dates for the California list wastes are presented in
Highlight 1.
OVERLAP WITH OTHER TREATMENT STANDARDS
As noted earlier, wastes most be RCRA listed or
characteristic wastes to be California list wastes.
Therefore, California list wastes may also be restricted
as solvent- or dioxm-containing wastes or as scheduled
wastes. For wastes covered by more than one LDR
standard, the LDR restriction* for the more specific
waste stream generally take precedence, once the
standard is promulgated. For example, P006 non-
wastewaters may be restricted under the California list
rule became the waste is a liquid and may contain
nickel above the statutory prohibition leveL The F006
treatment standard, which is expressed as a
concentration level, however, takes precedence over the
California list restriction (Le, codified prohibition
level).
The Agency has determined that soft hammer
wastes and wastes for which national capacity variances
have been granted remain subject to California list
prohibitions (i-c, if either of these waste types is
subject to a California list treatment standard or
statutory prohibition level, that treatment standard or
statutory level must be met before the waste can be
land disposed). If a California list treatment standard
is promulgated for a soft hammer waste, the more
stringent of the restrictions apply. For example, if a
non-liquid soft waste contains 1,100 mg/kg
total HOCs, the waste most meet the California list
treatment standard of incineration or burning in a
boiler or industrial furnace before land disposal If a
liquid soft hammer waste contains 510 mg/1 lead (for
which no California list treatment standard exists), the
soft hammer restrictions apply. If treatment is not
available, the waste must at least be treated below the
prohibition level (Le^ 500 mg/1) or rendered non-liquid
and can only be disposed of in a surface impoundment
or lawHfin if the receiving nT"f meets minim i«n
technology requirements or has an equivalent waiver.

CERCLA section 121(d)(2) requires that Superfund response actions comply with other environmental laws chat
are applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs). A potential ARAR for CERCLA responses is
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) land disposal restrictions (LDRs) established under the
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA). The LDRs prohibit the land disposal of restricted RCRA
hazardous wastes i"1m> these wastes meet treatment standards specified in 40 CFR Part 268, meet the minimum
technology requirements during a treatment capacity extension, or satisfy the requirements of one of the other
available i*wwpHangt» options (Le, Treatability Variance, Equivalent Treatment Method Petition, No Migration Petition,
or Delisting). This summarizes the types and effective dates of treatment standards and outlines how to
comply with the treatment standards and the mtwfrwnm technology requirements set during national capacity
^tensions. More gni«4a«if* on Superfund compliance with the LDRs is being prepared by the Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER).

TYPES OF TREATMENT STANDARDS
EPA i"« *»hihn«ii»<< treatment standards i*w^*r
the LDRs on the basis of the best demonstrated
available technology (BDAT) rather than risk-based
or health-based "Best" is 33 thar
technology which offers the greatest reduction (based
on a statistical analysis) of toxicity, mobility, or volume
of the waste. To be "demonstrated.' a treatment
technology must be demonstrated to work at a full-
scale level (L&, technologies available only on a pilot-
or bench-sole are not considered demonstrated). To
be "available* a treatment technology must be
commercially available.
Within this framework, the Agency has esrahHihed
three types of LDR treatment standards:
¦ Concentration levels - which must be attained
before the wastes or treatment residuals may be
land disposed;
¦ Specified technologies - which must be applied to
the waste before the residuals may be land
disposed; anf*
¦ No land disposal - which prohibits land disposal
of certain restricted hazardous wastes.
Concentration Levels
The majority of the LDR treatment 'standards
promulgated to ^ are wnwurmfinB levels. For
wastes with treatment standards expressed as
1'iwwntminn^ any technology that <**" achieve the
required levels may be used unless the technology is
otherwise prohibited (Le^ the BDAT used by EPA to
set the standards need not be used).
To establish a concentration Ievel(s) for a specific
waste code (e£, K062), the Agency selects a subset of
the hazardous found in the waste (known
as "BDAT constituents") and sets treatment standards
for each of these constituents. Although these wastes
may «*""fa««i constituents, only the treatment
standards for the "BDAT constituents* must be met
before the wastes can be land disposed. The residues
from treatment of an originally liked waste (e^, ash,
scrubber water) are also liked RCRA hazardous wastes
(because of the 'derived from" rule), and therefore,
also are prohibited from land disposal unless they meet
treatment standards for the waste code(s) of the
original listed waste(s) from which they derive.
EPA has promulgated separate standards for
wastewaters and nonwastewaters for treatment
standards expressed as concentration levels. For LDRs,
wastewaters normally are defined as wastes containing
less than one percent total organic carbon (TOC) and
less than one percent total suspended solids. All other
matowaU (including soil and debris) are riawifirri as
nonwastewaters, except for F001-P005 wastes, for which
only the TOC is used to define wastewaters.
Concentrations of BDAT constituents in solid
residues from treatment must not exceed the
-------
nonwastewater concentrations. Similarly, the
concentration of BDAT constituents in wastewaters
from treatment (e^, incineration scrubber water) must
not exceed the wastewater concentrations. Highlight 1
provides an example of standards expressed as
concentration levels for K062 waste.

If a treatment standard is promulgated as a
specified technology, that technology most be used to
treat the waste unless an Equivalent Treatment Method
Petition is approved by the Administrator. To be
granted, such a petition must demonstrate that the
alternative technology achieves an equivalent measure
of performance. For example, the Agency has set the
treatment standard for California list PCB wastes
containing greater than 500 ppm PCBs as thermal
destruction. These wastes most be incinerated to
99.9999 percent destruction and removal efficiency
(DRE) under the LDRs before the ash from treatment
may be land disposed unless a Petition allowing an
equivalent treatment method is granted.

Firrt Third Wastes
The First Third scheduled wastes include those
wastes that are intrinsically hazardous or are
high-volume wastes. EPA promulgated treatment
standards expressed as concentration levels and no land
disposal based on TWA and TCLP for certain First
Third wastes on August 17, 1988. First Third wastes
that do not have promulgated treatment standards are
restricted under the "soft hammer" provisions.

OTENSION
If promulgation of treatment standards
the Agency determines that hwnffirienf treatment
capacity exists, the Agency may grant a national
capacity extension for a period of up to two years.
During the extension period, if wastes are to be land
disposed in surface impoundments or landfill*, the ""in
must comply with the RCRA Subtitle C minimum
technology requirements (Le^ double liner, leachate
collection system, and ground-water monitoring) under
RCRA 30Q5(j)(2) or (j)(4) or the receiving units must

Restrictions Under Land
Disposal Restrictions (LDRs)
CERCLA response actions must comply with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Land
Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) when they are determined to be applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements
(ARARs). Compliance with the LDRs will involve meeting the LDR treatment standards, mnrinwni technology
requirements daring a capacity extension, the soft or hard hammer restrictions, or satisfying the requirements
of one of the other LDR compliance options (i-e-» Treatability Variance, Equivalent Treatment Method Petition, No
Migration Petition, or Delisting). This guide discusses complying with LDR soft hammer and hard hammer
provisions, which an restrictions on the disposal of hazardous wastes if EPA does not promulgate standards by the

SOFT HAMMER WASTES
If the Agency fails to set treatment standards for
First or Second Third wastes by their specified
statutory dtadlhw (August 8, 1988, and June 8, 1989,
respectively), the wastes become restricted under the
soft hammer provisions until EPA sets a treatment
standard for them, or until May 8, 1990, when the
"hard hammer" provisions will falL The soft hammer
provisions specify certain restrictions that may have to
be met before the wastes can be land disposed. The
hard hammer provisions prohibit all land disposal of

(2) Site managers (OSCs, RPMs) certify that they have
made a good faith effort to locate and to contract
with treatment and recovery facilities for treatment
that is "practically available." If such treatment is
"practically available,' the manager must use the
best practically available treatment (see Highlight
2) to treat the wastes before they are land
disposed. If there is no 'practically available"
treatment, the soft hammer wastes may be disposed
of without treatment in units meeting the
requirements listed in (1).
Soft wastes disposed of in units other thai
surface wipiiwiwiwiM or do not have to meet
the soft HammiM- restrictions before land disposal
However, these wastes must comply with the LDR
notification requirements and other LDR restrictions,
such as storage prohibition. (The storage prohibition
restricts the storage of soft hammer wastes unless it is
solely for the purpose of arnmwlaring sufficient
quantities to facilitate proper treatment, recovery, or
disposal.)
Soft Hammer Requirements for Notifications,
Certifications, and Demonstrations
When soft hammer wastes are land disposed or
treated off-rite, site managers must comply with the
LDR wnrifirariftit certification, and demonstration
requirements. When treatment and land disposal occur
on-site, site managers must only meet the
demonstration requirements. (The notification and
certification requirements are administrative
requirements and do not have to be met for on-site
actions.) The specific notification requirements,
mrinrfifig to whom and when they must be sent and
the required language from 40 CFR Part 268, are
shown in HigfrHght 3 for each of these categories.
California List and Soft Hammer Overlap
Certain soft t"""""1 wastes also may be California
list wastes, in which case they may be subject either to
the California list or soft hammer requirements. If a
waste is restricted by soft hammer and California list
restrictions, site managers should meet the more
stringent standard for the waste.
¦ If treatment standards have been promulgated for
a California list waste that is also a soft hammer,
the California list treatment standard must be met
for the waste before it is land disposed of into anv
type of unit. In this case, the soft hammer
restrictions and notification, certification, and
demonstration requirements do not apply.
¦ If treatment standards have sot been promulgated
for a California list waste that is also a soft
hammer, and the waste is to be land disposed in
a surface impo^m-nt ™ infill, one of two
situations may arise:
(1) If treatment is "practically available,' a site
manage must use the "best" treatment to meet
the soft hammer requirements.

are "practically aval Labia" according to the
following mat ratio:

- A ratio between 1.3 and 2.0 generally is
practical unless, on a caae-by-ease basis,

The hard hammer provisions prohibit land disposal
of restricted wastes if EPA fails to promulgate
treatment standards by the statutory for
solvent- and djonn-crmfaining and California list wastes
and by May 8, 1990, for all of the scheduled wastes.
The deadlines for these wastes are shown in Highlight
5. At present, the hard hammer provisions have only
fallen for California list cyanides and EPA has
also codified statutory prohibition levels for. California
list corrosive wastes and dilate HOC wastewaters.
Codification of the prohibition levels has the same
as the hard !»¦"¦** fan* iwwi iti«pnoi
of these wastes is prohibited when wastes are found in
concentrations above the prohibition levels.
There are only two exceptions to the prohibition
on land disposal of the hard hammer wastes: rirlrving
and a No-Migration Petition. Delisting is a general
option for demonstrating that a listed waste is no
longer hazardous that is available under RCRA §260.20
asd §260.22. The process to obtain No-Migration
Petitions is specified in RCRA §26&6. To obtain a
Petition, disposal facilities demonstrate that there will
be no "'ption of hazardous from
disposal unit or injection zone for as long as the waste
remains hazardous. This is a rulemaking petition and
is eipectftd to require extensive documentation.

are moved from one AOC (or oak) into another AOC
(or unit). Placement does not tut whea wastes are
left in place, or noted within a single AOC. Highlight
2 provides sceaarios of whea pi*Tmm does and does
sot occur, as defined ia the proposed NCP. The
Agency is cumat reevaluating the definition of
placement prior to the promulgation of the fiaal NCP,
and therefore, these scenarios are subject to change.
Highlight 2: PLACEMENT
Placement does occur whea wastes are:
¦ Consolidated from different
AOCs into a single AOC;
¦ Moved outride of an AOC (for
treatment or storage, for
example) and returned to the
same or a different AOC; or
¦ Excavated from aa AOC placed
ia a separate unit, such aa aa
iadaerator or taak that is within
the AOC and redeposited iato
the same AOC
Placement does not occur whea wastes
are:
¦ Treated ia situ;
a Capped ia place;
¦ Consolidated within the AOC or
¦ Processed withia the AOC (bat
not ia a separate unit, such at a
tank) to improve iu structural

(2) IS THE CERCLA SUBSTANCE A RCRA
HAZARDOUS WASTE?
Because a CERCLA respoase must constitute
placement of a restricted argA ware for
the LORs to be applicable, site managers must evaluate
whether the "«¦»—"»¦» if the CERCLA site are
RCRA hazardous wastes. Highlight 3 briefly describe*
the two types of RCRa hazardous wastes -listed inr
characteristic wastes.
Highlight 3: RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTES
A RCRA solid wis to* is hazardous if it is
littfid or exhibits a hazardous characteristic.

Site aaaagers are sot required to presume that a
CERCLA hazardous substance ia a RCRA hazardous
waste ualesa there ia affirmative evidence to suppc
such a finding. Site maaagen, therefore, should u.
'reasoeabie efforts* to determine whether a substance'
is a RCRA listed or characteristic waste. (Current
data coUecrioa efforts during CERCLA removal and
-------
remedial site investigations should be sufficient for this
purpose.) For listed hazardous wastes, if manifests or
labels are not available, this evaluation likely will
require fairly specific information about the waste (e.g*
source, prior use, process type) that is 'reasonably
ascertainable* within the scope of a Superfund
investigation. Such information may be from
facility business records or from an examination of the
processes used at the facility. For stuoSfiOSis "sstes,
site managers may rely on the results of the tests
described ia 40 CFR 26L21 • 26L24 for each
characteristic or on knowledge of the properties of the
substance. Site managers should work with Regional
RCRA staff, Regional Counsel, State RCRA staff, and
Superftud enforcement personnel, as appropriate, ia
milnwj Amtmi niimriftM
In addition to undemanding the two categories of
RCRA hazardous wastes, site managers will also seed
to understand the derived*from rale, the mixture rule,
and the contained-in interpretation to identify correctly
whether a CERCLA substance is a RCRA hazardous
waste. These three principles, as well as an
introduction to the RCRA process, are
described below.
Derived-from Rale (40 CFR 26L3(c)<2))
Tie derived-from rule states that any solid wm«
derived from the treatment, storage, or disposal of a
Hated RCRA hazardous waste is itself a listed
hazardous waste (regardless of the concentration of
hazardous constituents). Far sample, ash and
scrubber water from the iaciaoadoa of a fitted waste
are hazardous wastes on the basis of the derived-from
rule. Solid wastes derived from a sjUBSUSttfe
hazardous waste are hazardous wastes aatf if they
exhibit a characteristic

of the F006 and wastewater is a listed hazardous waste.
Mixtures of solid w«te» and characteristic hazardous

CERCLA response actions most comply with the RCRA Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) when they are determined to
be applicable or relevant aad appropriate requirements (ARARs). (The Agency has decided, however, that the LDRs are not
relevant and appropriate for soil and debris wastes at this time.) For the LDRs to be applicable, the CERCLA response action
most constitute placement of a restricted RCRA hazardous waste (see LDR Guide #5). Compliance with the LDRs will involve
either meeting the LDR treatment standards, other LDR restrictions (e.g^ soft hammers), or satisfying the requirements of one
of the other alternate LDR compliance options (&£, Treatability Variance, Equivalent Treatment Method Petition). This guide
outlines the process for obtaining and complying with a Treatability Variance for soil and debris that are contaminated with
RCRA hazardous wastes for which the Agency has set treatment standards. More detailed guidance on Superfund compliance
with the LDRs is being prepared by the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER).

Obtaining a Soil and Debris
Treatability Variance for
Remedial Actions
BASIS FOR A TREATABILITY VARIANCE
When promulgating the LDR treatment standards, the
Agency recognized that treatment of wastes to the LDR
treatment standards would not always be possible or
appropriate. In addition, the Agency recognized the
importance of ensuring that the LDRs do not unnecessarily
restrict the development and use of alternative and
innovative treatment technologies for remediating hazardous
waste sites. Therefore, a Treatability Variance process (40
CFR $268.44) is available to comply with the LDRs when
a Superfund waste differs significantly from the waste used
to set the LDR treatment standard such that:
¦ The LDR standard cannot be met; or
¦ The best demonstrated available technology (BDAT)
used to set the standard is inappropriate for the waste.
Superfund site managers (OSCs, RPMs) may need to
seek a Treatability Variance to comply with the LDRs when
managing restricted soil and debris wastes (see Highlight 1)
because the LDR treatment standards are based on treating
less complex matrices of industrial process wastes (except
for the dioxin standards, which are based on treating
contaminated soil). A Treatability Variance does not
remove the requirement to treat restricted sofl aad debris
wastes. Rather, under a Treatability Variance, alternate
treatment levels are based on data from actual
treatment of soil, or best management practices for debris.
Although the specific justification required to obtain a
Treatability Variance may differ from site-to-site, site
managers generally will make this justification on the basis
of: (1) Available information on the performance capabilities
: of the technology(ie3) being considered; (2) Site-specific
conditions that may affect die implementation or
effectiveness of those technologies; and (3) The remediation
goals of the CERCLA response action.
At many sites, data from treatability studies conducted
during the RI/FS will suffice as justification for obtaining
a Treatability Variance. For example, if data from
treatability studies indicate that the full-scale operation of
a specific treatment technology cannot «m

w ttenort
The FS Report should contain the necessary information
(see Highlight 2) to justify a Treatability Variance using,
where appropriate, data and findings from the RI Report.
In the Detailed Analysis of Alternatives chapter of the FS
Report, a general discussion of why a Treatability Variance
is necessary should be included in the description of each
alternative for which a variance is required. This
description also should specify the treatment level range(s)
that the treatment technology would attain for each waste
constituent restricted under the LDRs and the primary
ffnntawiiwawu of concern identified during the Superfund
baseline risk assessment. (The more specific and detailed
information, such as relevant waste analysis data from
sampling, should be placed in an appendix to the report.)
In addition. under the Comparative Analysis of Alternatives
section, when rfivinwng the 'Compliance with ARARs
Criteria,* site managers should indicate which alternatives
wQl require a Treatability Variance to comply with the
LDRs.

-------
HOW TO COMPLY WITH A TREATABILITY VARIANCE
FOR SOIL AND DEBRIS WASTES
SoU Wastes
Once site managers have identified the RCRA waste
codes present at the site, the neit step is to identify the
BDAT constituents of those RCRA waste codes found at
the site, and to divide these constituents into one of the
structural/functional groups shown in column 1 of Highlight
5. After dividing the. BDAT constituents into their
respective structural/functional groups, the aea step is to
compare the concentration of each constituent with the
threshold concentration (see column 3 of Highlight 5) and
to select the appropriate concentration level or percent
reduction range. If the concentration of the restricted
constituent is less than the threshold concentration, the
waste should be treated to within the rqiHf|tTHfo" rar'
If the watte concentration is above the threshold, the w.
should be treated to reduce the concentration of the waste
to within the specified percent reduction range. Once the
appropriate treatment range is selected, the third step is to
identify and select a specific technology that can achieve the
necessary concentration or percent reduction. Column 5 of
Highlight 5 fists technologies that (based on
performance data) can attain the alternative Treatability
Variance levels.
During the implementation of the selected treatment
technology, periodic analysis using the appropriate testing
procedure (Le-» total waste analysis for organic and TCLP
for inorganics) will be required to ensure the alternate
treatment levels for the BDAT constituents requiring control
are being attained and thus can be land disposed without
further treatment

Because of the variable and ¦*«—»»«¦
asaodated with uaeacavated wastes, from which only
t—f1*! data are available, treatment systems generally
. should bis riraignfd to achieve the more strtagent ead of the
treatment range (e£, 03 tor chromium, lee column 2 of
' {) to ensure that the trcitBetu residuals from the
most contaminated potions of the waste M below the 'do
exceedance' levels (e^, 60 ppm for diromium). Should
data indicate that the treatmeat levels set through the
Treatability Variance are not being attained (Le* treatment
residuals are greater than the 'no exceedance' level), site
managers should consult with Headquarters.
Under Some circumstances, the need, to <**»'* a
Treatability Variance may not be evident until after a ROD
it signed. This situation may arise when: (1) initial
assumptions made during the RI/FS that the LDR
treatment standards would be met are proven to be
incorrect during the remedial design/action (RD/RA) phase;
or (2) previously undiscovered evidence is obtained during
RD/RA that the CERCLA waste confaim a RCRA
restricted waste and the LDRs are then determined to be
applicable but cannot be met In such situations, a site
manager would need to prepare an explanation of
differences (ESD) from the ROD and make it available to
the public to explain the need for a Treatability Variance.
In addition, unlike other ESDs that do not require public
comment under CERCLA section 117(c), if the ESD
involves granting a Treatability Variance, an opportunity for
public would be required to fulfill the public
notice and comment requirements for a Treatability
Variance under 40 CFR $268.44.
Psferia Wa«ca
Site managers should use the same process for obtaining
a Treatability Variance described above for types of debris
that are able to be treated to the alternate treatment levels
(e^, paper, plastic). However, for most types of debris
(&&, concrete, steel pipes), which generally cannot be
treated, ste managers should use best management
practices. Drprmting oa the specific characteristics of the
debris, these practices may mdude decontamination (&g*
triple "¦*¦*{) or destruction.
LDR* IN SUPERFUND ACTIONS
Because of the important role the LDRs may play in
Superfund cleanups, site managers need to incorporate early
m the RI/FS the necessary investigative and analytical
procedures to determine if the LDRs are applicable for
remedial alternatives that involve the 'placement* of wastes.
When the LDRi are applicable, site managers should
determine if the treatmeat processes associated with the
alternatives can attain either the LDR treatment standards
or the alternate levels that would be established under a
Treatability Variance.
Site managers must first evaluate whether restricted
RCRA waste codes are present at the site, identify the
BOAT constituents requiring control, and compare (he
BDAT* constituents with the Superfund primary constituents
of concern from the baseline risk iMfrwacnt This process
identifies aQ of the constituents for which remediation may
be required. Once the viable alternatives are in
the FS, site managers should evaluate those involving the
treatment and placement of restricted RCRA hazardous
wastes to ensure their respective technology procesa(es) will
attain the appropriate treatmeat levels (Le^ either LDR
treatment standard or Treatability Variance alternate
treatment levels for restricted RCRA hazardous wastes)
and, m accordance with Superfund goals, reductions of 90
percent or greater for Superfund primary contaminants of.
concern. The results of these evaluations are documented
in the Proposed Plan and ROD. An illustration of the
integration of LDRs and Superfund is shown in Highlight
6. An example of the process for complying with a
Treatability Variance for contaminated soil and debris is
presented in Highlight 7.

A EPA Superfund LOR Guide #6B
Obtaining a Soil and Debris
Treatability Variance for
Removal Actions
On-site CERCLA response actions most comply with the RCRA Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) when' they are
determined to be applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs). On-site CERCLA removal actions must comply
with the LDRs to the extent practicable when they are determined to be ARARs. The two factors that determine whether
the LDRs can be practicably complied with during a removal response are; (1) the urgency of the situation and (2) the scope
of the removal action to be taken. For the LDRs to be applicable, the CERCLA removal action must constitute placement
of a restricted RCRA hazardous waste (see Superfund LDR Guide #5). For the LDRs to be relevant and appropriate, [hey
must address problems or situations sufficiently similar to the circumstances of the release, or remedial action contemplated,
and be well-suited to the site. (See Superfund LDR Guide #7.) Compliance with the LDRs will involve either meeting the
LDR treatment standards, mewing other LDR restrictions (e^, soft hammers), or satisfying the requirements of one of the
other alternate LDR compKanre options («• g. Treatability Variance, Equivalent Treatment Method Petition). This guide outlines
the process for ohtatntng and complying with a Treatability Variance daring removal actions for soil and debris contaminated
with RCRA hazardous wastes for which the Agency has set treatment standards. More derailed guidance on Superfund
compliance with the LDRs is being prepared by the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER).
BASIS FOR A TREATABILITY VARIANCE
When promulgating the LDR treatment standards, the
Agency recognized that treatment of wastes to the treatment
standards gjjgg best available
technology (BDAT) would not always be possible or
appropriate (RCRA $268.44). In addition, the Agency
recognized the importance of ensuring that the LDRs do
not unnecessarily restrict the development and use of
alternative and innovative treatment for
remediating hazardous waste sites. Therefore, a Treatability
Variance process is available to comply with the LDRs when
a Superfund waste differs from the waste used
to set the LDR treatment standard that;
¦ The LDR standard cannot be met; or
¦ The BDAT used to set the standard is inappropriate
for the waste.
During on-site removal Superfund on-scene
coordinators (OSCs) must comply with the LDRs if the
LDRs are ARARs and compliance with the LDRs is
practicable. For removals involving off-site **»[** OSCs
must simply determine if the LDRs are applicable. When
managing restricted soil and debris wastes (see 1),
OSCs may need to seek a Treatability Variance to comply
with the LDRs h——far the standards
which are based on treating contaminated soil, the LDR
treatment standards are bued on treating less complex
matrices of industrial process wastes. A Treatability
Variance does not remove the to treat
restricted soil and debris wastes. Rather, under a Variance,
aa OSC selects alternate treatment levels the Agency has
which are based on data from actual treatment
of soil or best management practices for debris.
Although the specific justification required to obtain a
Treatability Variance' may differ from site to site, OSCs
generally will make this justification on the basis o t (1)
available information on the performance capabilities of the
treatment tedmology(ies) bemg considered; (2) site-specific
i-nniliiimn fhaf may the implementation or
effectiveness of those technologies; and (3) the goals or
scope of the CERCLA removal action.
1: SOIL AND DEBRIS
Sofl. Soil is defined as materials that are primarily of
geologic origin such as sand, silt, loam, or day, that
are mdigenousto the natural geologic environment at
or near the CERCLA site. . (In many cases, soil is
mixed with liquids, sludges, and/or debris.)
Debris. Debris is defined as materials that are
primarily non-geologic in origin, such as grass, trees,
jjjJ man-made concrete,
rindilng partially-buried whole or empty drums,
njwwnw aitrf ntht-r mafowalt
such as liners. (It does not include synthetic organic
but may include materials contaminated
with these chemicals.)
-------
At many removal sites, data from treatability studies or
from off-site facflitin that test waste samples may provide
justification for obtaining a Treatability Variance. For
mwiipi^ if tiara from treatability studies that
full-scale operation of a specific treatment technology cannot
mn«tfwiriv meet the LDR treatment standards for ail soil
or debris (including the most contaminated waste areas of
the site), OSCs may use such data as justification to obtain
a Treatability Variance for the contaminated soQ and debris
that be treated to tf** standard.
When site-specific treatability study data are not available,
Mirwgafa data from the application of to wastes
of similar types may be used to assess the effectiveness of
treating soil and debris, and to help 'OSCs determine
whether a Treatability Variance is warranted. Potential
surrogate data sources include: (1) Treatability data bases,
such as the one developed by EPA's Risk Reduction
Engineering Laboratory; (2) Remits from treatability studies
and from response actions conducted at other sites; and (3)
F.iwring literature that describes the effectiveness/limitations
of specific treatment technologies. Unless the surrogate
data show that a technology operated at foil scale can
consistently meet the LDR treatment standards for all soil
or debris, OSCs should seek a Treatability Variance.
In some cases (especially when treatability studies are
not conducted), ^f» whether a treatment
technology or process can attain the LDR treatment
standards may not be available. This situation may arise
when an innovative technology is being considered, or when
a 'demonstrated* technology is being applied to wastes for
which performance data do not exist. Under such
circumstances, OSCs may select a particular technology »r
the preferred alternative, if there are technically sr
reasons to believe that it will perform effectively. W...
there are no data available that indicate
thai the LDR treatment standards can be met consistently
for all soil or debris, OSCs should seek a Treatability
Variance.
HOW TO OBTAIN A TREATABILITY VARIANCE FOR
SOIL AND DEBRIS WASTES
Once it is determined that a CERCLA waste is a soil or
debris, and that a Treatability Variance will be necessary
(La, the LDRs are applicable and practicable for the
removal action addressing soil and debris wastes, and there
is a reasonable doubt that the LDR treatment standards ran
be met consistently for all the wastes), OSCs should initiate
the process of obtaining a Treatability Variance.
In general. for on-site removal actions, the Treatability
Variance will be in the form of a memorandum attached
to the Action Memorandum, which documents the removal
action to be taken. This attachment should include the
accessary information to justify the need for a Treatability
Variance (see w,gt,Hg,>t 2). Treatability Variances for on-
site removal are approved by Regional Administators
or their designees.

-------
For off-site removal actions, an OSC must submit to
Headquarters a formal Treatability Variance petition
complying with the requirements of 40 CFR 268.44 for site-
specific variances. Because most removal actions involve
off-site actions, OSCs will generally have to prepare formal
Treatability Variance petitions, the process also should

Processes for obtaining a Treatability Variance depend
upon the type of removal action. These actions are
riassifird according to the expediency required in a given
titration: (1) emergency, (2) timeAzitical, and (3) non-
time-criticaL The process for obtaining a Treatability
Variance for each of these removal actions is described
below. Each of these actions are defined in Highlight 3.
Highlight 3 • DEFINITIONS1 OF EMERGENCY,
TIME-CRITICAL, AND NON-TIME CRITICAL
REMOVAL ACTIONS
Emergency - Emergency removal actions are those
responses to releases or threats of releases requiring

Time-Critical - Time-critical removals are those
releases requiring initiation of on-site dean-up activity

^ Defined in pretmble to propmed NCP.
Emergency and Time-Critical Aajma
There is no formal procedure Cor identifying and
analysing alternatives for emergency time-critical
removal acriom. Because of the need for a quick f«p"nv^

at different stages of these removals, depending an the

ensure that the alternate treatment levels for the BDAT
miKiimwiH requiring control are being attained, a*"^ fhw«,
can be land-disposed without further treatmenL
Because of the variable and uncertain characteristics
associated with mi excavated wastes, from which only
campling data are available, treatment systems generally
should be designed to achieve the more stringwit end of the
treatment range (**;, QJ for «-twYwwmwi, jee rnhnnn 2 of
Highlight 6) to ensure that the treatment residuals from the
most contaminated portions of the waste fail below the 'no
earifgdanni* levels (e.g., 6jQ ppm for chromium). Should
dan indicate that the treatmeat levels set through the
Treatability Variance are not being attained (Le., treatmeat
residuals are greater than the "no level), OSCs
should consult with Headquarters. 8 provides a
specific case wantplr to illustrate how to obtain a
Treatability Variance.
Wastes
OSCs should use the same process described above for
obtaining a Treatability Variance for types of debris that are
able to be treated to the alternate- levels (* g.
paper, plastic). However, for most types of debris (e^,
concrete, steel pipes}, which generally cannot be treated.
OSCs should use best management practices. Depending on
the specific characteristics of the debris, these practices may
mrtnrin decontamination (e^, triple rinsing) or destruction.
SUMMARY
Because of the important role the LDRs may play in
Superfund removals, early in the removal process, OSCs
need to incorporate the necessary investigative and analytical
procedures to determine if the LDRs are ARARs for on*
site removal alternatives that involve the "placement" of
wastes, and if compHaitnr with the LDRs is practicable.
When the LDRs are ARARs and compliance is practicable
(or for off-site actions, when LDRs are applicable'). OSCs
should determine if treatment processes can attain either the
LDR treatment standards or the alternate levels chat would
be under a Treatability Variance.
Once removal alternatives are identified. OSCs should
determine if alternatives involve placement of restricted
RCRA wastes, and if so, identify the BDAT constituents
requiring control. Next. OSCs should evaluate those
alternatives that involve treatment and placement of
restricted RCRA hazardous wastes to ensure the technology
processes) will attain the appropriate treatment levels (Le..
either the LDR treatment standard or Treatability Variance
alternate treatment levels for restricted RCRA hazardous
wastes), and, in accordance with Superfund goals, reductions
of 90 percent or greater for Superfund primary contaminants
of concern). If a Treatability Variance is necessary, a
request for a Variance must be made in the Action
Memorandum (or in an amendment to the Action
Memorandum) and EE/CA Report, and public comment
solicited. The results of these evaluations are also
documented in the Action Memorandum and EE/CA
Report. The integration of the LDRs into the removal
actions is iSnstrated in Highlight 7.

Superfund LDR Guide #7
Determining When Land Disposal
Restrictions (LDRs) Are Relevant
and Appropriate to CERCLA
Response Actions
CERCLA Section 121(d)(2) specifies that oa-ute Superfund remedial actions shall attain 'other Federal standards,
requirements, criteria. limitations, or more stringent State requirements that are determined to be legally applicable
or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) to the specified circumstances at the site.' Ia addition, the National Contingency
Plan (NCP) requires that removal actions attain ARAR* to the extent practicable. Qff-sitc removal and
remedial actions must comply with legally applicable requirements. This guide outlines the process used to determine
whether the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) land disposal restrictions (LDRs) established under
the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) are "relevant and appropriate' to an on^itt CERCLA response
actios. (See Superfund LOR Guide #5 for determining when LDRs are applicable to CERCLA response actions.)
The guide also provides examples of when the LDRs are likely to be relevant and appropriate and when they are not.
With respect to contaminated soil and debris, EPA is umifrt airing a rulemaking to establish specific LDRs; until this
rulemaking is completed, EPA generally win sot consider the LDRs to be relevant and appropriate for soil and debris
contaminated with hazardous substances that are not RCRA restricted wastes. More detailed guidance on Superfund
compliance with the LDRs is being prepared by the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER).
LDR RELEVANT AND APPROPRIATE
DETERMINATIONS
For on-rite CERCLA responses that constitute
placement, aad for which the LDRs haw been,
determined not to be applicable (La, the wastes being
placed are not prohibited or restricted RCRA wastes),
site managers should evaluate whether the LDRs are
relevant and appropriate. As discussed ia the
CERCLA Camaliaaeg with Other Ln» Maaml fEPA.
August 8, 1968), relevant aad appropriate dedsions
require best professional jnd^neat of ste-spcctfic
factors to determine whether a lequitement addresses
problems or tuflkianriy similar to the
arcuautaaces of the release, or remedial y*"*
contemplated, aad it wtitaated to the site, aad
therefore, is both inknaut aad appropriate.
Section 300.400(g)(2) of the proposed NCP [33 FR
at 51436 (December 21, 1988)1 ourfiaes a number of
factors pertaining to CERCLA timarinns aad pofmrial
ARARs which should be compared to determiae
whether a lequiiemcat is both relevant aad
appropriate. The bar pewinr ut factors to compare
whin evaluating the pofmrial relevaace aad
appropriateness of the LDRs are: (1) the action or
activities regulated by the requirement (e^, placement
oa the laad) aad the remedial action contemplated; (2)
the purpose of cherequirement aad the purpose of the
CERCLA action; (3) the whstancw regulated by the
requirement aad the substances found at the CERCLA
site; aad (4) the medium regulated or affected by die
requirement aad the medium contaminated or affected
at the CERCLA site. - These factors are evaluated to
determiae whether the circumstances of the release
aad ftmntial actios contemplated are such that use of
the LDR teqmlrtutents ia well-suited to CERCLV

is rrmrtnrrrd as part of the remedial investigation,
during which information is collected oa contaminant
sources, p"*—routes of migration, and potential
humaa and environmental receptors of concern. The
results of this effort (which is ultimately documented
ia the site characterization aad baseline risk assessment
chapters of the RI/FS report) are used to establish
remedial action objectives for the areas or media
at the site that pose a threat to human
heafth aad the environment. The site*spccific
CERCLA response ubjeoam of the remedial action
should be compared with the purpose or
objectives of the LDRs as a first step ia determining
the »«¦* relevaace and appropriateness of the
LDRs (proposed NCP factors (a) aad (e)].
. The objective of the LDRs is to achieve
reductions ia the toxicity aad/or mobility of a
-------
hazardous waste, based on application of the best
demonstrated available technology (BDAT), prior to its
land disposal- While this objective will often be
compatible with remedial alternatives to
destroy highly concentrated, toxic, and mobile materials
such as liquids, other remedial alternatives involving
treatment of the principal threats of a site may have
different objectives co which the LDRs are not well*
suited.
Once a decision is made that achieving BDAT
reductions in the toxicity and/or mobility of a waste
source is compatible with CERCLA response objectives
for the site, site managers should utilize information on
waste constituents and matrices collected as part of the
site characterization to evaluate whether a CERCLA
waste is "sufficiently similar" to a fisted RCRA waste
code or family of waste codes (e£* K04S-KQ52,
petroleum refining wastes) such that the LOR standard
for that waste code is appropriate for the CERCLA
waste.
In determining whether a CERCLA waste is
sufficiently similar, managers
whether the BOAT used to set the LDR standard
would be effective for the CERCLA waste.
(Technologies other than those used to set the BDAT
standards may be considered, although they must be
regarded as capable of meeting the promulgated
concentration requirements.) Although a constituent*
by-constituent analysis is not necessary for relevant
and appropriate determinations, a general comparison
of the waste constituents and matrices is useful for
identifying waste codes to which a CERCLA waste may
be similar, and therefore, helpful in the identification
of technologies that may be appropriate for
consideration.
If a CERCLA waste that consists of a complex
mixture of several different wastes occurs in a different
medium (e.g., soil) or matrix (BDAT standards may be
established for specified matrices, such as wastewaters,
oonwastewaters, or both) from what is specified for a
particular restricted waste code or rrmtthn
incompatible waste continents, use of BDAT may sot
be appropriate for that waste, and therefore, the LDRs
NOTE: If the LDRs are determined to be
relevant and appropriate requirements for a
CERCLA action (Le^ there is a dose match
between the CERCLA and LDR objectives, and
a close match between the constituents/matrix of
the CERCLA waste and the constituents/matrix
of the relevant RCRA waste code), but the
treatment process involved in the remedy does
not achieve BDAT levels in the field as
anticipated, a Treatability Variance establishing
alternate treatment levels should be sought
would not be relevant and appropriate [proposed NCP
factor (b)J. It has been the experience of the
Superfund program that Treatability Variances art
frequently necessary for soil and debris contaminated
with a restricted RCRA waste (see Superfund LDR
Guide #6A), because the promulgated LDR standards
are based on treating less complex matrices of
industrial process wastes. As a logical corollary to this
finding; the Agency believes that LDRs generally would
not be "relevant and appropriate* requirements for soil
and debris contaminated with aon-tvCRA restricted
wastes. However, the Agency plans to undertake a
rulemaking that win prescribe applicable standards for
the treatment of sod and debris contaminated with
RCRA-restricted wastes. In the future, these standards
may be relevant and appropriate to the treatment of
soil and debris contaminated with non-restricted wastes.
Examples illustrating the relevant and appropriate
determination process follow;
¦ A number of drums containing hazardous wastes
are discovered during a site investigation.
Although no written documentation or specific
knowledge of the source is available to identify
with certainty the origins of the wastes, the
laboratory analyses indicate that they contain very
high concentrations of a predominantly liquid
waste indicative of industrial waste streams.
Therefore, maximum destruction of the drum
contents is established as the remedial acti<
objective. Due to the general similarity of th.
bulk liquids to the spent solvents listed in the
F001-F005 waste codes, the CERCLA site
manager determines that use of incineration (oae
' of the BDAT identified in the solvent and dionn
rule for that family of waste codes) would be
technically suitable. Therefore, the LDRs would
be relevant and appropriate for an alternative
involving the treatment and placement of the
drummed waste.
a A CERCLA waste mixture from an unknown
source is found to consist of wastes similar to
F021 dioxin-containing wastes (Le., they contain

MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT RCRA Regulatory Status of Contaminated Ground Water
FROM: Marcia E. Williams, Director
Office of Solid Waste
TO:
Patrick Tobin, Director
Waste Management Division, Region IV
This is in response to your memorandum of September 18,
1986, regarding the regulatory status of ground water
contaminated with hazardous waste leachate. To answer this
question, one first has to determine the status of ground
'water. Under the regulations, ground water contained in the
aquifer is not considered a solid waste, since it is not
"discarded" in the sense of being abandoned, recycled,
or inherently waste-like as those terms are defined in the
regulations. See 40 CFR 261.2(a)-(d). Therefore, contami-
nated ground water cannot be considered a hazardous waste
via the mixture rule (i.e., tro have a hazardous waste
mixture, a hazardous waste must be mixed with a solid waste;
see 40 CFR 261.3(a)(2)(iv)). Nevertheless, ground water
contaminated with hazardous waste leachate is still subject
to regulation since it contains a hazardous waste. Therefore,
the treatment, storage, or disposal of ground water contaminated
with hazardous waste leachate must be handled as if the
ground water itself were hazardous, since hazar33us waste 1/
leachate is subject to regulation under Subtitle C of RCRA.
However, if the ground water is treated such that it no
longer contains a hazardous waste, the ground water would no
longer be subject to regulation under Subtitle C of RCRA.
1/ This memo more precisely explains the position on ground
water contamination presented in John Skinner's memo dated
December 26, 1984.
-------
2
Taking this Interpretation and applying It to the example
in your memorandum, the ground water containing a listed
hazardous waste, once collected, Is subject to regulation
under the hazardous waste regulations. However, if as a
result of treatment, the ground water no longer contains the
hazardous waste leachate, the ground water would no longer be
subject to the hazardous waste rules.
Tour letter also raises the question of treatment of
ground water within the context of corrective action. If the
corrective action is taken at an interim status facility In
compliance with a §3008(h) order, treatment can take place.
We are considering the possibility of amending the regulations
to clarify the relationship between corrective action and
the reconstruction ban (§270.72(e)). More broadly, the
Agency Is currently examining the issue of whether permits
should be required for any corrective actions. We are also
developing miles for corrective action under RCRA §3004(u).
Until this analysis Is completed, If the corrective action
takes place at a permitted facility, it can be handled as a
permit modification.
Please feel free to cail Matt Straus, of my staff, if
you have any further questions; his telephone number is ^75-
8551 (FTS).

Xn your memo of December 16, 1988 and the attached
materials, you stated your understanding of the current policy
on the classification of contaminated groundwater and described
issues which have arisen in California regarding reuse of
contaminated groundwater from a Superfund site.
You have accurately stated the effects of the "contained
in" policy which governs situations such as the one you'have
described. Briefly, a contaminated groundwater which has been
treated such that it no longer contains hazardous constituents,
need not be considered to be a hazardous waste, and beneficial
reuse of the water is permissible. We have not yet issued
definitive guidance on levels below which the groundwater is no
longer considered to contain hazardous wastes. Until such
definitive guidance is issued, the Regions may determine these
levels on a case-specific basis.
It is our expectation that ultimately the guidance on
levels of hazardous wastes which may remain will mirror the
levels in the De Minimis rule which is now under development
by OSW. I know that Region XX has been participating in the
Work Group discussions and reviews of this proposal and X urge
you to continue this involvement.
Xn its present form, the De Minimis approach contemplates
levels based on health-based standards (where available),
assuming direct exposure. With respect to the constituents
of concern at the Fairchild Superfund site — trichloroethane
-------
2-
and dichloroethylene — the levels remaining in the treated
groundwater are well below the MCLs and would therefore be
consistent with the De Minimis approach.
If you have additional questions, please contact David Fagan
at FTS 382-4740. Questions on the Oe Minimis rule should be
addressed to Robert Scarberry at FTS 382-4770.

SUBJECT: RCRA Classification of Contaminated Groundwater as a
Hazardous Waste and the Associated Limitations on
Disposal and Reuse at Superfund Sites
Thank you for meeting with me and officials from the State
of California during your visit here December 9, 1988. Consis-
tent with our discussion then, the purpose of this memorandum is
to bring to your attention the problems associated with reuse of
extracted groundwater during the remediation of a Superfund site.
As outlined in the November 13, 1986 memorandum, rcra
Regulatory Status of Contaminated Ground Water, from Marcia Wil-
liams to Patrick Tobin in Region IV, (memorandum attached)
groundwater which contains a hazardous waste must be handled as
if it were a hazardous waste, subject to Subtitle C of RCRA.
This definition seriously limits the disposal or reuse options of
extracted groundwater which falls below health based criteria.
It is our understanding that Headquarters has been working
to eventually restructure the definition'of hazardous waste to be
concentration based. However, we have some immediate and practi-
cal problems to solve which are associated with the drought in
California and the urgent need to reuse extracted groundwater
when it meets criteria set to protect health and environment.
Zn that regard, we want to advise you on how we are handling
a specific and urgent situation at the Fairchild, San Jose Super-
fund site. As is common in all arid regions, California depends
heavily on groundwater for water supply. Due to < ary real con-
cerns associated with managing this limited resource, the
California State Water Resources control Board has mandat' 1 that
the extracted groundwater at Fairchild be employed in a reuse
program. The groundwater proposed for reuse falls well below
risk criteria designed to protect health and the environment.
FROM:
TO:
Sylvia Lowrence, Director
Office of Solid Waste
-------
The main contaminant at the site, trichloroethane or TCA, is less
than 50 ppb; the MCL for TCA is 200 ppb. The attached memorandum
-from tfefcen McKinley to me, and correspondence with the State and
FairchiId, provide more detailed information about "the site and
these issues.
While we hope that the definition of hazardous waste for
aqueous mixtures can be converted to a concentration basis
reasonably soon, ve must address the Fairchild, San Jose problem
now, upon submission of adequate data on groundwater quality and
monitoring frequency which documents that all contaminants are
significantly below appropriate drinking water standards and
other environmental protection standards, ve intend to allow
Fairchild to participate in the reuse program. He would conclude
that the treatment has been sufficient to remove the hazardous
vaste from the vater and (consistent with the November 13, 1986
Marcia Williams memo) that the groundwater is no longer subject
to the hazardous vaste rules. We support this reuse program as a
part of the Superfund cleanup and consider it a critical feature
in the overall conservation of a precious resource, if you have
questions, please contact me (FTS 454-7460) or have staff contact
Amy Zimpfer (FTS 454-7414) or Phil Bobel (FTS 454-7480). Thank
you for your attention to this matter.

-------
Pairchild began attractin? groundwater as an interim remedial
measure at its San Jose site in early 1982 after tlie discovery
that a waste solvent tank at the facility had failed. The
release contained VCKA regulated wastes.
Currently, groundwater extracted in the Fairchild cleanup
is discharged under an NPDES pexnit to the storm severs leading
to Canoas creek. NPDES discharges are exempt from RCRA regula-
tion. For a good many of the extraction wells, concentrations of
are sufficiently low to permit discharge in compliance
with proposed NPDES effluent limitations (30 ppb TCA and 1.5 ppb
DCS) without treatment. In fact, the residual chemical con-
centrations in these wells are well below the health based drink-
ing water standards (MCLs are 200 ppb for TCA and 7 ppb for DCE).
Another two-year dry period has raised water conservation
awareness in California. As in most of the arid west,
groundwater supplies are depended upon heavily. Fifty percent of
water supplied to users in the Silicon Valley area is drawn from
local aquifers. The Santa Teresa groundwater basin, where the
Fairchild remediation is talcing place, has dropped as much as 18
feet below normal water table levels. The XBM NPL site also ex-
tracts groundwater from this basin in its cleanup program.
The State Water Resources Control Board (created in 1969,
along with the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards, by the
Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act which established a
statewide program for control of all the waters of the state) has
responded to the conservation concerns associated with
groundwater remediation in a March 1988 hearing on the "waste and
unreasonable use of water". This hearing prompted amendments to
the current state orders governing interim cleanup actions at X
and Fairchild. Specifically, it dictated the pumping rates and
number of extraction wells at Fairchild and IBM, and it required
both companies to incorporate reuse into their final cleanup
plans or show why it could not be done. In IBM's case th6
Regional Water Quality Control (RWQCB) has ordered 100% reuse in
the final cleanup requirements. It is expected that the final
orders from the RWQCB will include a similar directive for the
Fairchild site.
Additionally, the RWQCB has established priorities for dis-
chargers under their NPDES program (see attachment): first
priority is reuse, second priority is discharge to POTW, least
preferable is the discharge to storm drain or surface water. It
is clear that reuse and water conservation measures are high
priorities.
The Problem
Currently, it appears that EPA is responsible for the most
significant barrier to reuse. The problem lies in the RCRA
definition of the extracted groundwater as a hazardous waste.
The only existing guidance on this subject is contained in the
November 13, 1986 memorandum from Marcia Williams, Office of
Solid Waste, to Region IV (see attachment). This memorandum
-------
states that groundwater containing hazardous vaste in det stable
^¦ouafcs «nie» jge treated as though it vara a hazardous waste, sub*
ject to all treatment, storage and disposal requirements under
Subtitle c of RCRA.
In the Fairehild example, the company is negotiating with
the California Department of Transportation ("Caltrans") to
supply extracted groundwater for dust control and compaction at
Caltrans' road construction sites. The definition of the Fair-
ehild extracted groundwater as a hazardous waste, despite the
fact that chemical concentrations are below health based stan- -
dards, aakes this, and other reuse options such as irrigation, a
problem. Zf the groundwater is a hazardous waste, reuse by land
application appears to be precluded because under RCRA, hazardous
wastes may be disposed of only at permitted hazardous waste
facilities. Even if the RCRA prohibition on disposal outside of
licensed disposal sites did not apply, other RCRA requirement^,
such as manifesting, recordkeeping and reporting requirements,
would make supplying extracted groundwater to Caltrans or other
third parties an impractical alternative to discharge. Zn es-
sence, this prohibition effectively prevents reuse of the pumped
groundwater and encourages the unreasonable waste of a precious
resource in areas of the country where water supplies are limited
or uncertain. Attached is the recent correspondence outlining
the State and Fairehild positions regarding this policy, and our
Region IX response.
Proposed Solution
RCRA delisting of the pumped groundwater has been suggested
as an alternative to this predicament. However, as you are
aware, the process is lengthy and cumbersome. More importantly,
it appears that delisting was not intended for the situation ve
have described here. We believe that extracted groundwater, with
chemical concentrations that fall below criteria designed to
protect the health and environment should be easily incorporated
into conservation and reuse programs.
The recent meeting with Sylvia Lowrence and conversations
with Barbara McGuinness of Headquarters Office of Solid Waste in-
dicate that a more flexible reading of the,Marcia Williams Novem-
ber 13, 1986 memorandum is possible. Ms. McGuinness informed us
that Region ZV has used the memo to make judgment calls regarding
the application of RCRA to extracted groundwater. Zn at least
one ease, Region ZV has determined that an treated groundwater
was no longer a hazardous waste because hazardous constituents
were effectively removed sufficient to protect health and the en-
vironment. We perceive this to be a practical approach for the
purposes of reuse and the flexibility to apply the same "judgment
call" to Region XX Superfund sites, specifically the Fairehild
•ite, where chemical concentrations in groundwater are below
health-based criteria, and where a reuse program is critical to
the overall conservation of the resource.
-------
Mors specifically, the only conta Lnant det cted in the off-
site groundwater which is under consideration for reuse, is TCA
ic near «t bmmbm Mm so 99b <«r «m murfsr m ^ar
TCA which is 200 ppb). Zt is our belief that these numbers do
not pose health or environmental concerns for reuse in irrigation
or road construction programs. However, in order to specifically
analyze the appropriateness of the intended reuse of the
groundwater extracted at Palrchild we have requested that the
coapany provide the following data:
a. Concentration ranges of all known contaminants in the
aquifer which will be pumped (influent quality) ?
b. Concentration ranges of.all known contaminants in the
water intended for reuse (effluent quality);
« «
c. The monitoring and reporting frequency which will be
used for each pollutant.
Provided that the water will meet all applicable requirements, ve
hope to develop a practical solution which will not delay reuse.
We are requesting Headquarters response to our proposed
solution by December 30, 1988. Specifically, we would like Head-
quarters to clarify that the November 1986 memorandum allows the
flexibility to determine that an extracted groundwater "no longer
contains a hazardous waste" if the hazardous constituents have
been removed sufficient to protect human health and the environ-
ment, and therefore "would no longer be subject to regulation un-
der Subtitle C of RCRA."

CERCLA Response Activities and the Land Disposal
Restrictions Program's Applicability at Plattsburgh Air
Force Base
Sylvia K. Lowrance, Direct
Office of Solid Waste
Stephen D. Luftig, Director
Emergency and Remedial Response Division, Region II
In a memorandum of February 12, 1990, Region II raised
several questions about the applicability of the Land Disposal
Restrictions (LDRs) program to a remedial action at a DDT spill
site. In summary, Plattsburgh Air Force Base had stockpiled
high-grade DDT pesticide on a storage pad, beginning in 1970. By
1972, all of the drums had corroded and either spilled or leaked
onto the ground, adjacent to the pad. As a result, the soil is
currently contaminated with DDT, a halogenated organic compound
(HOC), in excess of 1000 mg/kg in some areas. The facility has
been listed on the National Priorities List.
In completing the study of the site, several cleanup options
are being evaluated. However during this consideration,
questions arose as to whether the options would satisfy the LDRs.
Specifically, you ask for clarification on capacity variances,
treatability variances, and whether the treated waste can be
redeposited on-site.
Capacity Variances
In the Third Third proposal, a national capacity variance is
not proposed for U061 (DDT); the Agency believes that sufficient
incineration capacity exists for treatment of halogenated organic
wastes. However, the proposal further states that where soil and
debris are contaminated with First, Second or Third Third wastes
with a BDAT treatment standard based on incineration, a two-year
national capacity variance will be granted.
During a national capacity variance, if the waste is not
treated in compliance.with the BDAT treatment standard and is
disposed of in a landfill or surface impoundment, the landfill or
Prinud on Rteycltd yr.ptr
-------
surface impoundment must meet the minimum technological
requirements (MTRs) of 40 CFR 264 Subpart N. In addition, durinc
a national capacity variance the waste must meet any applicable
standard (e.g., California list prohibition) that normally would
be superseded by a more waste-specific standard such as that for
U061.
Soil containing HOCs in excess of 1000 ppm is subject to the
LDRs via the California list prohibitions. (See Part 268,
Appendix III.) At CERCLA/RCRA corrective action sites, this soil
has a national capacity variance that expires on November 8,
1990. As a result-, soils containing HOCs above the prohibition
level may currently be disposed of in landfills or surface
impoundments that meet the MTRs. After November 8, 1990, the
soil must be incinerated in accordance with 40 CFR 268.42(a)(2),
or meet any alternative standard established through a
treatability variance.
Treatability Variances
Superfund's guidance document, "Obtaining a Soil and Debris
Treatability Variance for Remedial Actions," outlines the process
to be followed for establishing alternative treatment levels for
RCRA hazardous waste. In this particular case, if a treat-
ability variance is granted for the California list HOCs and not
U061, the treated waste can be placed in a landfill or a surface
.impoundment only if it meets the minimum technological
requirements. This is due .to the fact that California list
prohibitions are a minimum requirement, and U061 is a First Thirc
"soft hammer" waste that will remain a restricted waste after May
8, 1990 (assuming that a national capacity variance is granted to
soils containing a waste with a BDAT treatment standard based on
incineration). See 53 FR 31188.
If a treatability variance is granted for U061, once the
alternative treatment level is satisfied, disposal may occur in
any Subtitle C unit. This results from the fact that the
alternative treatment standard established for U061 will
supersede the treatment standard for the California list HOCs.
For more detailed'information on obtaining a treatability
variance, you can contact Marc Turgeon of my staff at 382-7917.
On-site Pnits
Your final question was whether waste that has been treated
in compliance with the applicable Part 268 standard can be
redeposited on-site in the unit from which it was removed. The
answer, while not entirely clear, is in most cases "yes." In the
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
final rule (signed February 2, 1990), page 267 states: "EPA
believes that it is appropriate generally to consider CERCLA
areas of contamination as a single RCRA land-based unit or
2
-------
'landfill'." Furthermore, in most cases these areas of .
contamination (AOCs) are not subject to the design and operating
requirements for Subtitle C landfills (40 CFR 264.301) because
they are existing portions of the landfill. Any lateral
expansion of the existing unit, however, would trigger the
minimum technological requirements of 40 CFR 264.301(c).
Given these facts, the design requirements are not
*ppiirahie when soil that has been treated in compliance with the
applicable part 268 treatment standard is redeposited on-site in
the existing AOC. However, as noted in Superfund Directive
9234.2-04FS, "RCRA. ARARS: Focus on Closure Requirements":
RCRA requirements that are not applicable may, nonetheless,
be relevant and appropriate, based on site-specific
circumstances. . . . For example, minimum technology [sic]
requirements may be considered relevant and appropriate for
one area receiving waste because of the high potential for
migration of contaminants in hazardous levels to ground
water, but not for another area that contains relatively
immobile waste.
A related question pertinent to on-site disposal is whether
redeposition of the waste into the AOC would cause the AOC to be
considered a replacement unit and thereby trigger the MTRs. In
short, the MTRs would not apply because the AOC is not receiving
"new" waste, and thus, is not being reused. (See attached
memorandum from Marcia Williams, Director, Office of Solid Waste,
to James Scarbrough, April 12, 1986, response #3.)
Finally, although the design and operating requirements
contained in Subpart N may not be applicable, there may be other
requirements that win be applicable. For example, RCRA closure
requirements must be met.
I hope this memorandum clarifies these issues. Some of the
issues that you raised regarding capacity extensions are not
fully resolved as the Third Third final rule is still under
development. If you have any further comments or questions
please contact Debbie Wood at FTS 382-4770.

MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Closure of a DOE Surface Impoundment Unit
that has. Lost Interim Status
FROM: Marcia Williams/ Director
Office of Solid Waste
TO: James H. Scarbrough, Chief
Residuals Management Branch# Region IV
Thank you for your memorandum of December 30, 1985, in which
you requested clarification of several issues relating to the
closure of a DOE surface impoundment unit in South Carolina that
has lost interim status. This memo addresses your questions in-^
the same order in which you stated them. Your first issue is
further divided into two related issues.
1. Can hazardous waste be removed from a surface
impoundment unit, and then be placed back in
that unit at closure if it has lost interim
status?
Yes—if the wastes are removed during
closure for the purpose of treating them to
enhance the effectiveness of .the closure. The
closure period occurs after the active life of
the unit and calls for activities not normally
carried out during operation of the unit (e.g.,
application of the final cover). Removal of
waste, treatment, and replacement for the
purposes of enhancing the closure process
may be essential to assuring long-term integrity
aft. the closure (e.g., stabilization may be
required to prevent differential settlement of
thm final cover). Other activities which may be
necessary to effect proper closure of the unit
may also be allowed. (We note that a contrary
policy would merely act as a disincentive to
taking appropriate steps to enhance closure.)
-------
-2-
The position outlined a'icve is consistent
with closure regulation Language at §265.1.13(a):
"within 90 days after receiving the Sinai volume of
hazardous waste. .. the owner or operator must treat,
remove from the site, or dispose of on-site all
hazardous wastes..." (emphasis added). EPA took a
similar position regarding the closure of surface
impoundments after January 25, 1993 when it stated
that removal and replacement of waste in the same unit
after January 25, 193*!3 Joes not constitute "receipt"
of waste for the purposes of determining whether a un-it
is a regulated unit. (See attached letter from
Or. John Skinner to Dr. Reva Rubenstein, Director,
Institute of Chemical Waste Management, January 11,
1983, response *4.)
However, if the surface impoundment wastes
are treated with vastes from other units, the
combined treated wastes may not .be placed back
into the surface impoundment. Moreover, treat-
ment outsLie the unit inay, in some cases, require
a permit. For example, treatment may involve
constructing a unit with a capital investment of
greater than fifty percent of the capital cost of
an entirely new facility (see §270.72).
2. Would removal, treatment, and replacement of the
wast a in a surface impoundment unit as a part of
closure constitute "reuse" of the unit and, thus,
require the retrofitting of that unit with a
double liner?
As you knot, replacement units at interim
status facilities (as well as other specified
units) are subjected to the HSWA Minimum
Technology Requirements undar Section 3015(b).
Baaed on the legislative history of Section 3015,
£?&'• Guidance on Implementation of the Minimum
Togjjbiological *equir«ient3 of HSWA of 1984,
Rcibacting Liners and Leachate Collection Systems
(S84/530-SW-85-012), defines "replacement" as
occurring when: (a) the unit is taken out of
service (i.e., the unit has stopped receiving
waste or the "normal" rate of waste receipt is
significantly decreased); (*a) all or sifcstantially
all of the «aste is removed; and (c) the unit is
reused.
-------
EPA believes that the references in the
legislative history to a unit that is taken
out of service and "reused" indicate that
Congress intended the replacement requirements
to apply when the unit was in the process of
actively managing hazardous waste/ i.e., during
the active life. (See S,. Rep. No. 284, 98th
Congress, 2nd Session 24 (1983).) Since the
impoundment in question is removing, treating#
and replacing the waste as part of closure and
is not managing any new waste, it is not
continuing to operate and "reuse" does not
occur. Hence/ the double liner retrofitting
requirement does not apply when waste is
removed from an existing unit/ treated and
replaced in the same unit as part of an
approved closure plan.
. As part of closure/ can hazardous, waste be removed
from the Lost Lake area and placed in the settling
basin? Assuming this can be considered to be one
waste management area, is it acceptable to remove
waste from one part of the waste management area and
place it in another?
In reviewing the drawings contained in the
"Closure Plan for the M-Area Settling Basin and
Vicinity at the Savannah River Plant" (July 1985),
it is apparent that the waste in the settling
basis is the same as that found in the Lost Lake
area. In fact/ these two areas are hydraulically
connected by an open ditch such that these areas
could be construed to be a single waste manage-
ment unit for the purposes of closure. As such/
waste movement during closure from one part of a
single unit to another part of that unit is
permissible*•and may be desirable from an
envixooaental standpoint. In this case it would
appaiir that removal of waste from the Lost Lake
are

REGION II
DATE:
PuH^fcCT;
Land Ban Concerns at a C2RCLA Pesticide (DOT) Spill Sit*
from:
Jeffrey Gratz, Projact Manager
Federal Facilities Section
TO:
Ton Ovandan
Land Disposal Restriction Branch (OS«333)
Plattsburgh Air Force. Base (PAF8), located in Clinton County, New
York, recently decided to perform a removal action at a. DDT spill
area. Because of an earlier ban on DDT application, PAFB
stockpiled its remaining high-grade DDT in a Defense
Reutilization and Kainenance Office (DRMO) storage yard beginning
in 1970. By 1972 all the drums had either spilled or had
corroded to the point where all DDT' had leaked onto the ground,
adjacent to the storage pad. The facility is on the National
Priorities List (NPL).
Recently, the Base completed its study of the area and determined
that most of the contamination resides in a drainage swale and
. that over time the contamination has spread to an area of
approximately 600'x 20' (see figure). DDT concentration in the
soil is as high as 1.5%. For the removal action, PAFB has
proposed to dig up the soil and treat it using a solvent
extraction process (a bench scale study utilizing this process
was recently completed). Based on a health and ecological
assessment (currently being review by Region II), PAFB has
proposed a clean up level of 10 ppm for DDT. After this level is
achieved in the treatment unit, PAFB proposes to redeposit the
soil in the drainage swale.
• There are several land ban concerns which Z have discussed with
you and would appreciate clarification. They are as follows:
1) Applicability of Capaoity Variance: The proposed land ban
restrictions for third-third scheduled wastes are somewhat
unclear:
a. pg. III. B-28 states that "sufficient capacity exists
for treatment of halogenated organic wastes; therefore,
2PA is not proposing to grant a national capacity
variance for these wastes." ("these wastes" include
DDT (U061) for which the BOAT is a treatment level
based on incineration.)
b. pg. III. B-94 states that "EPA is proposing today to
grant an extension of the effective date of certain
1st, 2nd, and 3rd 3rd contaminated soil and debris for
which the treatment standards proposed are based on
combustion ..."
In our discussions, it was determined that a capacity
RBUON II FORM 1S20-1 (*/M)
-------
variance ia applicable to this site and would bo effective
until May 8, 1992. Please confirm this interpretation.
2) equivalent Treataent Method Petition or a Treatability
variance: since the referenced soil contains DDT (an
halogenated organic compound [HOC]) above 1000 mg/kg in some
areas, California List restrictions will also be applicable.
As of November 8, 1990, a RCRA/CSRCLA soil and debris
containing HOCs over 1000 mg/kg must be incinerated at
99.99% DRE. Please confirm this interpretation.
After November 8, 1990., would the facility need an
Equivalent Treatment Method Petition to show that the
solvent extraction method is equivalent to the treatment
standard for this California waste?
Or, would the facility have to apply for a Treatability
variance for RCRA/CERCLA soil and debris to show that the
DDT (in the halogenated non-polar aromatic structural
functional group) will undergo the recommended percent
reduction (90-99.9% - from Superfund LDR Guide #6A) using
the solvent extraction method? Is a Treatability Variance
applicable when the treatment standard of incineration
99.99% DR2 is specific to RCRA/CSRCLA soil and debris
(Highlight 1, Superfund LDR Guide #2)?
Based on discussions with you, the Treatability Variance is
applicable. Please confirm this interpretation.
3) Must the treated soil go to a receiving unit that meets RCRA
minimum technology requirements or ean it be redeposited
o&aite (to the same area from which it was taken)?: Because
the hazardous waste (the DDT contaminated soil) is being
removed from the ground and treated in a treatment unit,
placement will occur and LDR is applicable. There are two
periods of concern:
a* Between May 8, 1990 and November 8, 1990, a national
capacity variance will be in place for the described
waste (this is assuming that these proposed regulations
go final and that the above interpretations are
correct).
b. After November 8, 1990, the waste will be subject to
California List restrictions and a Treatability
Variance (or Sguivalent Treatment Method Petition?)
would be required.
During either of these time periods, can the treated soil be
redeposited onsite? If the treated soil can be redeposited
onsite, does the "unit11 (in this case, the excavated area)
need to meet minimum technology requirements? Baaed on
discussions with you, the treated soil ean be redeposited
onsite and the "unit* does not have to meet minimum
-------
technology requirements. Pleas® explain the basis of your
interpretation (CERCLA, the Federal Regulations, EPA policy,
or guidance).
Because the facility is currently writing a Environmental
Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA), and has allocated funds to be
used on this project during this fiscal year, a quick response to
these issues is needed. Zf you have any questions please call me
at FTS 264-6667.

GUIDANCE ON COMPLYING WITH A TREATABILITY VARIANCE
FOR SOIL AND DEBRIS
EPA has developed guidance on obtaining treatability variances for
remedial actions in Superfund LDR Guide //6A (Attached). This guidance
outlines the major steps in the-treatability variance process:
(1) Identify restricted constituents in contaminated soil.
(2) Determine if the LDR effective date for the waste has passed.
(3) Organize constituents into the appropriate structural-functional group
(1st column of Table 1).
(4) •" Compare the concentration level of each restricted constituent to the
"threshold influent concentration" (TIC) (column 3 of Table 1).
If the constituent concentration is less than the TIC, the treated
waste concentration must fall within the specified concentration
range (2nd column of Table 1).
If the constituent concentration is greater than the TIC, the
treated waste concentration must fall within the specified percent
reduction range (4th column of Table 1).
(5) Identify the appropriate treatment technologies to use to meet the
treatment ranges (column 5 of Table 1).
(6) Analyze the treated waste to verify that interim guidance levels have
been achieved.
CASE STUDY
A site has soils and sludges contaminated with the high zinc subcategory
of K061 wastes (emission control dust/sludge from the preliminary production
of steel in electric furnaces). Jane Manager has analyzed the waste and
determined that the following constituents are present at these
concentrations:
Cadmium 65 ppm - 100 ppm
Chromium 45 ppm • 75 ppm
Lead 150 ppm • 225 ppm
Nickel 50 ppm - 95 ppm
Jane knows that K061 was regulated in the-First Third rule, and that the.
treatment technology for this waste is stabilization. However, she is unclear
how the LDRs apply to soils and sludges contaminated with this waste, because
Jane does not believe that the treatment standards can'be met at this site.
Step by step, using the attached sheet, assist Jane 16 determining if the LDRs
apply to this site, and if so, how to comply with a treatability variance.
She has filled out some preliminary answers.

4. Interim guidance levels for treatability variance:
5. Technologies that will achieve these levels:
-------
CA^&TUlft '1SNSWERS
Determine If the effective date for the contaminating waste has passed:
K061 is a-sKir^e Third waste and has treatment standards based on
^sFtsBillzatiori'.': Irt ^TiCtft ^Ttoird rule .S^apikrit^ '«e6etislb"ns were
granted only to soil and debris requirJS^iniSifljeTrafeijdn'.
Therefore, the effective date of the LDRs for this waste is August
8, 1988;.
K061 sludges can probably be treated to the LDR standards, and
must be separated from the soils for traatnent.
If the waste cannot achieve the treatment standards for K061
soils, a treatability variance may be Requested, and land disposal
of the waste may occur if the interim guidance levels are
achieved.
Determine the interim guidance levels:
By looking at Table 1, you can show Jane that the concentration
levels focaos&i&Uft and nickel (65 -100 ppm arid 50 - 95 ppm,
respectively) ire higher- th&h th^'Ti&^'Tco£c entr atI oiu;Jevels fori,
chromium and lead (45 - 75 ppm arid 150 • 225 ppm, respectively)
are lower than' th& TIC." tlM£^irit£riin^guidaucfe:/leve 1 s
for these constituents are
— Cadmium 95 - 99.9% reduction
— Chromium 0.5 - 6.0 ppm
— Lead 0.1 - 3.0 ppm
— Nickel®^- ^- 95 - 99.9% reduction
The technologies that, will achieve these levels are:
Immobilization; and
Soil washing.
Analyze the waste to ensure that the interim guidance levels have been
reached through the-applicable technologies.,
