Background: The perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing
industry is subject to numerous Federal regulations that have been enacted to protect
human health and the environment.  A complex web of requirements results from the
fact that little correlation exists among regulations that target the same medium or
activity. Industrial facilities are responsible for understanding and  complying with these
requirements. Historically, EPA has relied on a command and control approach to
regulate industrial facilities, but now is combining its traditional method with innovative
compliance assessment techniques such as self-assessments and facility management
systems.

Many industrial facilities have found that using a complete facility Environmental
Management System (EMS) approach uncovers cost effective solutions for tackling all
the requirements as a whole instead of as individual components.  In line with this
discovery, EPA is encouraging self-assessments using a complete facility EMS
approach to evaluate compliance with environmental regulations.  A facility's drive to
identify cheaper,  more effective ways to achieve compliance is consistent with EPA's
mission of clarifying and simplifying environmental regulatory control.

Purpose of document: This guide is a resource on Federal environmental regulations
for perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facilities. This
manual identifies and clarifies industry-specific regulatory information necessary to
conduct a self-assessment.  This document describes portions of environmental
statutes that may apply to the perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturing industry and summarizes regulatory requirements of each (including
applicability, exemptions, monitoring, record keeping, and reporting requirements).

Approach: The statutes are discussed in the following sections:

•     Clean Air Act (CAA): Clean Air Act Titles I, III, V, and VI are summarized  in this
      section.  Topics include  NAAQS, NESHAPs, MACTs, permitting, chemical
      accident protection, and stratospheric ozone protection.  This appendix also
      includes a section on assessment considerations that should be evaluated
      during the on-site facility assessment.  Regulatory summaries are provided for
      performance standards, national emission standards, provisions for prevention
      of chemical accidents, and protection of stratospheric ozone.

•     Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA): This section describes the public water
      system program, underground injection control program, considerations for
      assessors,  and regulatory requirements.   Detailed descriptions of the regulatory
      requirements include national primary and secondary drinking water regulations
      which may  be applicable to facilities that  produce their own  potable water and
      the underground injection control program.

-------
•     Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)This section delineates
      the requirements for generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal
      of hazardous waste. Land disposal restrictions and underground storage tank
      regulations are discussed, as are specific RCRA assessment considerations.
      RCRA legislation summarized for perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet
      preparations manufacturers includes classification of generators; requirements
      for hazardous waste generators and transporters; regulations for hazardous
      waste treatment, storage, and disposal; and restrictions on land disposal and
      underground storage tanks.

•     Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)The
      EPCRA section describes four regulatory programs applicable to perfumes,
      cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturers: hazardous substance
      notification, emergency planning and notification, hazardous chemical reporting
      to the community, and toxic chemical release inventory. The section also
      suggests key areas to evaluate during compliance assessments. Regulatory
      summaries are included for the following: designation, notification, and
      reportable quantities of hazardous substances; emergency planning and
      notification; and reporting of hazardous chemicals and toxic chemical releases.

•     Clean Water Act (CWA)This section includes effluent limit guidelines,
      categorical pretreatment standards, NPDES and pretreatment programs, effluent
      trading, spills and pollution prevention of oil and hazardous substances, and
      reportable quantities of hazardous substances. This chapter also includes a
      section on assessment considerations and  summaries of regulations pertaining
      to pretreatment and discharge of effluent, discharge and pollution prevention of
      oil, and designation of hazardous substances and reportable quantities.

This manual may not include all the Federal environmental regulations that an
perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturer must comply with, but
it should serve as a starting point.  Site assessors should  be aware that, in many
instances, State or local regulations may be more stringent than Federal requirements.
Also, site-specific Federal, State, or local permits  may contain additional requirements
beyond  those specified in the regulations. As such, part of a facility's EMS should be
to check Federal, State and local regulations regularly and keep abreast of pending
legislation that may impact the facility.

Disclaimer: This document is intended as an aid  to compliance with federal  regulatory
requirements. The document does not substitute for EPA's regulations, nor is it a reg-
ulation. Thus, it cannot impose legally binding requirements on EPA, States,  or the
regulated community. Because circumstances vary, this document may not apply to a
particular situation, and facilities may be subject to requirements that are different from
or in addition to those described in this document. EPA may change this guidance.

                     Clean  Air Act  (CM)
The Clean Air Act (CAA), with its 1990 amendments, sets the framework for air pollution
control as it affects the perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing
industry. This framework has several elements based upon individual titles in the CAA. The
applicable CAA titles and the regulations and guidelines developed pursuant to the CAA are
illustrated in Exhibit CAA-1 and are discussed below.

components of the regulatory scheme of
the Act may be said to include the
following:
            Clean Air Act

       • •     Section  I 12 pertaining to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
             Pollutants.

Title V Permits will apply to major sources covered under Title I, as well as sources covered
under other Titles of the Act.

Title VI of the CAA deals with ozone-depleting chemicals. Several solvents used in the
perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing industry are affected by this
law.  Regulations under Title VI which affect the perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet
preparations manufacturing industry are discussed in a section of this appendix.

Finally, the specific regulatory requirements developed pursuant to the CAA are described  in
the last section of this appendix.

National Primary and Secondary Ambient Air Quality Standards
Title I  of the CAA establishes the statutory authority for EPAs National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) that are to be applied uniformly throughout regions in the  United States.
The Air Quality Act of  1967 required the designation of air quality control regions (AQCRs) based
on "jurisdictional boundaries, urban-industrial concentrations, and other factors  including atmospheric
areas necessary to provide adequate implementation of air quality standards" [Section 107(a) (1967)].
Today, the United States is divided into 247 AQCRs. Many AQCRs  are subdivided  into
smaller areas based on municipal boundaries, latitudes and longitudes, and other boundaries. A
complete list of AQCRs (and their attainment status) is codified at 40  CFR Part 81. An air
quality control region is classified as a "nonattainment" area if an NAAQS is violated anywhere in
the region.  (In the case of ozone, a violation occurs if the 4th highest reading over any 24-hour
period in the past 3 years exceeds the NAAQS for ozone.) Two types of NAAQS are set:

       (I)    Primary standards that define the level of air quality necessary to  prevent any
             adverse impact on human health

       (2)    Secondary standards that define the level of air quality necessary to protect the
             public welfare from any known or anticipated adverse  effects of a pollutant.

These standards, promulgated in 40 CFR Part 50, recognize that the  severity of the adverse
health effects associated with exposure often depends on the duration of exposure.
Accordingly, "short-term" standards set limits for a I -hour, an 8-hour, or a 24-hour period,
while "long-term" standards are established on an  annual basis.
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                  CAA-2

-------
The EPA has set NAAQS for ozone, carbon monoxide, participate matter of 10 microns or less
(PM-10), sulfur dioxide (SOJ, nitrogen dioxide (NOJ, and lead. These standards are used as a
foundation for the regulatory framework discussed in this section. The NAAQS are not likely
to have a significant impact on the perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturing industry.

Existing Sources of Emissions
Ozone Non-attainment Areas - The "design value" shown in the third column of Exhibit CAA-2 is
compared  to the 4th highest reading taken over any 24-hour period during 3 concurrent years
in a nonattainment area.  Based on this value,  a nonattainment area is classified as Marginal,
Moderate, Serious, Severe, or Extreme. As shown in Exhibit CAA-1, attainment deadlines are
based on a sliding scale that reflects the severity of the pollution, where the trigger date is the
date when an area is designated as nonattainment.

A major source is defined both by the size of the source'sfacility-wide emissions and the
category of the nonattainment area. These conditions are presented in Exhibit CAA-3. In
addition, if a firm has the potential to emit more than 100 tons per year (TRY), it is also
considered to be a major source. The statement "potential to emit" means the maximum
capacity of a stationary source to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design.
Thus operating below capacity does not exclude a plant from being defined as a major source.
Any physical or operational limitations on the capacity of the source to emit a pollutant,
provided the limitation or its effect on emissions is federally-enforceable, are treated as part of
its design and therefore, could mean exclusion from the major category.

Each State is required to develop a State Implementation  Plan (SIP) for all nonattainment areas.
SIPs contain a range of requirements that are designed to decrease ambient ozone
concentrations.  Part D of Title I of the CAA provides the authority for implementation of
Reasonably Available Control  Technology (RACT). A source defined as "major" in a
nonattainment area must install the RACT as prescribed in the applicable SIP.

EPA has defined RACT as the lowest emission limitation that a particular source is capable of
meeting by the application of control technology that is reasonably available considering
technological and economic feasibility.  RACT for a particular source is determined on a
case-by-case basis, considering the technological and economic circumstances of the individual
source.  Further guidance for RACT is provided in the General Preamble published on April
16, 1992, in 57 FR 13498-13570.

EPA regulations provide that less stringent emission limitations than those achievable with
RACT are acceptable only if the State plan shows that the less stringent limitations are sufficient
to attain and maintain NAAQS, and show reasonable further progress during the interim before
attainment.

A single ozone transport region exists for eleven states and the District of Columbia (the
northeast ozone transport region).  States included in the ozone transport region must submit
SIPs to the EPA with special requirements pertaining to enhanced vehicle inspection and
maintenance programs and implementation of RACT with respect to all sources of volatile
organic compounds in the States. In addition, a  stationary source in the ozone transport
region that emits or has the potential to emit at least 50 TPY of VOCs for NQ-is considered
a major source and is subject to the requirements which would be applicable to major
stationary sources if the area were classified as a Moderate nonattainment area.

A determination of the applicable RACT requirements for major sources is usually made by a
State on the basis of a case-by-case review of each facility. In an attempt to issue uniform
source guidelines, EPA issues Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs) for industrial categories.
The specific CTGs for a source are  available through EPAs Technology Transfer Network.
There are several CTGs that may be relevant to perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet
preparations manufacturing plants regarding the  control of Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs) from petroleum and volatile organic liquid storage and wastewater operations.

New  Source Review
Persons constructing new major stationary sources of air pollution or making modifications to
major stationary sources are required by the Clean Air Act to obtain a permit before
commencing construction.  The process is called new source review (NSR) and is required

whether the major source or modification is planned for an area where the NAAQS are
exceeded (nonattainment areas) or an area where air quality is acceptable (attainment and
unclassifiable areas). Permits for sources in attainment areas are referred to asprevention of
significant air quality deterioration (PSD) requirements and include the following:

       •      Demonstration of standard attainment through the undertaking of an air quality
             analysis.

Restrictions in nonattainment areas are more severe.  The principal requirements of NSR in
nonattainment areas are:

       •      Installation of Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) technology; LAER is
             derived from  either of the following:  (I) the most stringent emission limitation
             contained in the implementation plan of any State for such class or category of
             source; or (2) the most stringent emission limitation achieved  in practice by such
             class or category of source.  See CAA Part 171 (3).

       •      Provision for "offsets" representing emission reductions that must be made from
             other sources. Emissions offsets are generally obtained from existing sources
             located  in the vicinity of a proposed source and must (I) offset the emissions
             increase from the new source or modification and (2) provide a net air quality
             benefit. The emission  offset ratio depends on the category of the nonattainment
             area and is listed in Exhibit CAA-4. In general, emission  reductions which have
             resulted from some other regulatory action are not available as offsets.
             Nonattainment area major source permitting provisions are described in
             in 40 CFR Part 52.24.  The PSD permitting provisions are described in 40 CFR
             Part 52.21.

New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)
Major perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing industry sources must
also comply with certain standards of performance developed by EPA (promulgated as 40 CFR
Part 60), irrespective of its location in an attainment or nonattainment area.  These are
technology-based standards and are commonly referred to as the New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS).  NSPS affect new sources that are to be constructed or existing sources that
undergo modifications after the applicable deadlines. NSPS requirements for perfumes,
cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing industry sources include monitoring,
record keeping, and reporting. Further details on affected processes at major perfumes,
cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing industry sources, dates of applicability
and regulatory requirements are provided later in this section.

National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and
Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Standards
The NAAQS apply to five primary pollutants and one secondary pollutant: ozone. Ozone
precursors typically regulated include VOC emissions from perfumes, cosmetics, and other
toilet preparations manufacturing industry sources as part of the Part 60 requirements,
discussed earlier in this section.  However,  additional risk-based technology standards were
developed by EPA for a few selected hazardous air pollutants prior to enactment of the 1990
Amendments to the CAA. These are commonly referred to as NESHAP and were
promulgated at 40 CFR Part 61. Like NSPS, NESHAP requirements for perfumes, cosmetics,
and other toilet preparations manufacturing  industry sources include monitoring, record
keeping, and reporting. Further details on affected processes at major perfumes, cosmetics,
and other toilet preparations manufacturing  industry sources, dates of applicability and
regulatory summaries are provided later in this section.
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing
CAA-6

-------
Section I  12 of the 1990 CM identified 189 hazardous air pollutants (HAP) for which standards
of performance were to be developed based on maximum achievable control technology
rather than risk.  Existing NESHAPs for those HAPs on the list of I 89 would however still
apply.

Section 129 was added to the CAA in 1990 and directs EPA to establish MACT-based
regulations for solid waste incinerators.  Regulations are currently under development for
industrial and commercial waste incinerators.

Permitting Program
The CAA Title V (promulgated as 40 CFR Part 70) defines the minimum standards and
procedures required for State operating permit programs. The permit system is a new
approach established under the Amendments that is designed to consolidate all of a source's
requirements in one  document (permit). In addition, State permit fees will generate revenue
to fund implementation of the program.

Any facility defined as a "major source" is required to obtain a permit.  Part 70.2 defines a
source as a single point from which emissions are released or as an entire industrial facility that
is under the control of the same person(s), and a major source is defined as any source that
emits or has the potential to emit:

      • •     10 TPY or more of any hazardous air pollutant
      • •     25 TPY or more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants
             100 TPY of any air pollutant.

For ozone nonattainment areas, major sources are defined as sources with the potential to
emit:

      • •     100 TPY or more of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or nitrogen oxides
                   in areas defined as marinal or moderate
      • •     50 TPY or more of VOCs or NC^in areas classified as serious

      • •     25 TPY or more of VOCs or NC^ in areas classified as severe

      • •     10 TPY or more of VOCs or NC^ in areas classified as extreme.

Other sources requiring permits regardless of source size include:

             NSPS
             NESHAP
             PSD/NSR

       ••     Acid Rain.

The permit requirement for non-major sources (i.e., area sources) has been deferred for five
years.

By November 15,1993, each State must submit a design for an operating permit program to
the EPA for approval. The EPA must either approve or disapprove the State's program within
I  year after submission. Once approved, the State program goes into effect.

Major sources, as well as the other sources identified above, must then develop and submit
their permit applications to the State within  I year (this will take place near the end of 1995).
Once a source submits an application, it may continue to operate until the permit is issued.
This may take years because permit processing allows time for terms and conditions to be
presented to and reviewed  by the public and neighboring States, as well as by the EPA. When
issued, the permit will include all air requirements applicable to the facility. Among these are
compliance schedules, emissions monitoring, emergency provisions,  self-reporting
responsibilities, and emissions limitations. Five years is the maximum permit term.

As established in Title V (40 CFR Part 70), the States are required to  develop fee schedules to
ensure the collection and retention of revenues sufficient to cover permit program costs.  CAA
sets a presumptive fee of $25 per ton for all regulated pollutants (except carbon monoxide),
but States can set higher or lower fees so long as they collect sufficient revenues to cover
program costs.

Stratospheric Ozone Protection (40 CFR Part 82)
The CAA Amendments provide for a phase-out of the production and consumption of
chlorofluorocarbons  (CFCs) and other chemicals that are causing the destruction of the
stratospheric ozone layer. Requirements apply to any individual, corporate, or government
entity that produces, transforms, imports, or exports these controlled substances.

Section 602 of the Clean Air Act identifies ozone-depleting substances and divides them into
two classes.  Class I substances are divided into five groups.  Section  604 of the Clean Air Act
calls for a complete phase-out of Class I substances by January 1, 2000 (January 1, 2002 for
methyl chloroform).  Class II chemicals, which are hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), are
generally seen as interim substitutes for Class I CFCs.

Class II substances consist of 33 HCFCs. The law calls for a complete phase-out of Class II
substances by January 1, 2030. The schedule for the HCFC phase-out has not yet been
finalized; however, EPA has proposed to begin phase-out of some HCFCs by 2002, with a
complete phase-out  of all HCFCs to take place by 2030. This same  proposal would phase-out
CFCs, carbon tetrachloride, hydrobromofluorocarbons, and methyl chloroform by January  I,
1996.
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                  CAA-8

-------
On February 11,1993, EPA issued a rule under Section 61 I  of the CM that, effective May 15,
1993, requires both domestically produced and imported goods containing or manufactured
with Class I chemicals to carry a warning label.  The rule covers items whose manufacture
involves the use of Class I  chemicals, even if the final product does not contain such chemicals.

Exports are exempt from this rule's labeling requirements, as are products that do not have
direct contact with these chemicals.  In addition, if direct contact occurs but is non-routine and
intermittent (e.g., spot-cleaning of textiles), no labeling is required. Moreover, if a second
manufacturer incorporates a product made with an ozone-depleting chemical into another
item, the final product need not carry a label.

Section 608 of the CAA established the National Recycling and Emissions Reduction Program.
Effective July 1, 1992, EPA prohibited the venting of ozone-depleting compounds used as
refrigerants into the atmosphere during maintenance, service, repair, or disposal of air-
conditioning or refrigeration equipment. EPA also promulgated regulations at 40 CFR Part 82,
Subpart F on May 14, 1993, which establish standards for service and disposal practices
and to require leak repair. Under these regulations, technicians servicing air-conditioning
and refrigeration equipment must evacuate refrigerant according to the prescribed
guidelines.  In addition, recovery and/or recycling equipment used must be certified
and all persons who maintain, service, repair, or dispose of appliances must be
certified.

Owners of industrial process refrigeration equipment (those with  charges greater than 50
pounds) are required to repair substantial leaks. A 35 percent annual leak rate is established for
the industrial process and commercial refrigeration sectors as the  trigger for requiring leak
repairs. Leak repair is required within 30 days of discovery or a I -year retrofit or retirement
plan must be developed for the leaking  equipment.

CAA Assessment Considerations
Under Title V of the 1990 Amendments, many CAA requirements have been summarized
into one comprehensive permit (risk management is an exception). In general, Title V
requirements (40 CFR Part 70 or 71) are the same as compliance provisions previously
required under the CAA.  The facility's compliance assessor(s) should consider reviewing
data derived from previous facility self-assessments when determining compliance with
Title V requirements. The regulatory inspection forms are generally organized around
process equipment (called emission units) and stacks or vents (called emission points). The
facility assessor should develop an assessment format where any enforceable limits and the
underlying regulatory requirements applying to the emission unit or the emission point are listed
so that they can be confirmed during the assessment.

In general, not all of the applicable requirements can be verified during a single self-assessment
and each assessment represents a "snapshot" of compliance.  In recognition of the fact that
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                   CAA-9

-------
a facility assessor can not always be in place to detect violations, "baseline" assessment
techniques stress the importance of maintenance plans to ensure proper operation and
maintenance of equipment.  Baseline assessment techniques also emphasize tracking of
operating parameters (such as incinerator temperatures) during assessments for future use in
accessing equipment performance. This focus on self-monitoring and self-reporting was
reinforced under Title V with requirements for enhanced monitoring, periodic monitoring,
compliance plans and programs and maintenance plans.  The facility self-assessor can rely upon
baseline techniques to ensure that the systems and programs established for self-monitoring
and self reporting are appropriately designed and successfully implemented.

The draft Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) Rule will supplant enhanced and periodic
monitoring requirements and focuses on the same type of monitoring of equipment
performance or other parameters that indicate compliance with applicable requirements. As
an example, a emission  unit that controls emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
through exhaust gas incineration might have a lower allowable operating temperature of
1800* F.  Using baseline assessment techniques, the assessor routinely records this operating
temperature.  If this unit had traditionally operated at 2000 F, and now operated at 1825* F,
this would not constitute a violation of the 1800* F limit, but might indicate a potential for
violation and a need for follow-up actions.  Under the CAM Rule, the facility might choose to
record and report this temperature to demonstrate continued compliance with applicable
requirements.  However, the facility assessor should also initiate appropriate follow-up actions
to investigate the existence of a problem that might result in a violation of the requirement, and
pursue proactive compliance assurance measures.

The applicable CAA regulations for a perfumes,  cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturing facility will vary with location.  Those facilities located near urban areas are much
more likely to be subject to nonattainment provisions.  Ozone nonattainment areas have
RACT requirements on all major sources of VOCs and  NOX. RACT requirements vary with
location and severity on nonattainment; however, perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet
preparations manufacturing facilities would generally have RACT requirements on reactors,
distillation units, storage tanks, pumps and valves.  NSPS requirements are based on the
capacity and on the age of regulated units, but apply nationally to conforming units. NSR
requirements generally contain the most stringent emissions or performance limits and apply to
new units as they are constructed.  BACT applies under the PSD program in areas that meet
NAAQS;  LAER applies under NSR permits issued in nonattainment areas.  MACT standards
apply nationally based on magnitude of emissions of 189 HAPs. Units that are subject to these
requirements would receive priority in an air quality inspection.

The process oriented self-assessment approach focuses on following a process from
start to finish and developing process flow diagrams to identify key points or inspection.
Previous facility assessment techniques generally focused more on individual emission
units and emission points without as much attention to understanding the process.  An
example of an assessment process diagram is included as Exhibit CAA-5.  This type of

Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                 CAA-10

-------
approach is also more compatible with a multimedia self-assessment technique in that the
process diagrams could contain information on other items such as wastewater discharge or
pollution prevention activities.

Title V (or Part 70) permits will present new challenges to the compliance self-assessment.
One of these challenges will be inclusion of plant wide emissions limits or caps. Plant wide caps
offer operational flexibility to the permittee because changes in use of different processes can
occur and as long as overall emissions remain  under the limits, no permit terms are violated.
The assessor will need to sum emissions from multiple processes in order to determine
compliance. Alternative operating scenarios are another example of Part 70 permit conditions
that offer operational flexibility.  Alternative operating scenarios describe different methods of
operation for process equipment; these scenarios will contain different emissions limits based
on different production modes.  Confirmation of different  limits on one process substantially
complicates the self-assessment. One other aspect of the Part 70 permit is the permit shield.  If
a facility is operating within the limits of the Part 70 permit, then the permit shields the facility
against charges of noncompliance for those activities.

As mentioned in the description of baseline inspection techniques, self-monitoring and self-
reporting activities are important to maintaining compliance. Part 70 requires compliance
programs for units operating out of compliance with applicable regulations. Maintenance and
compliance plans are required for all facilities.  These programs would be used to document

                     Exhibit CAA-5.  Example Inspection Process Diagram

in excess emissions. The investigator should attempt to verify through evaluation of records
the adequacy of these programs.

        Safe  Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) mandates that EPA establish regulations to protect
human health from contaminants in drinking water. The law authorizes EPA to develop
national drinking water standards and to create a joint Federal/State system to ensure
compliance with these standards.  The SDWA also directs EPA to protect underground sources
of drinking water through the control of underground injection of liquid wastes. The Public
Water System Program (i.e., the National Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations)
and the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program are two components of the SDWA
that may be applicable to chemical facilities. The requirements of the programs are
summarized below.

Public Water System Program

Under the SDWA, EPA has established primary and secondary drinking water regulations
designed to protect the public health. The primary drinking water regulations cover
contaminants that have been determined to have adverse effects on human health or are
enforceable by EPA or a State. The secondary drinking water regulations cover contaminants
that affect the aesthetic quality of drinking water and are intended as guidelines that are not
enforceable by EPA but a State can choose to enforce some or all of the secondary drinking
water regulations.  Most of the States have "primacy" for the program; that is, they have
adopted the primary drinking water regulations and are responsible for implementing and
enforcing the regulations. The States can develop regulations more stringent than the national
drinking water regulations.  The national drinking water regulations apply to public water
systems. A public water system is defined as a system that either (I) has  at least 15 service
connections or (2) regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out
of the year. There are three types of public water systems: community water systems, non-
transient non-community water systems and transient non-community water systems. Facilities
employing at least 25 people and regularly providing potable water from  its private well, lake,
river or reservoir to these same employees for over 6 months of the year would be classified
as a non-transient non-community public water system.

National Primary Drinking Water Regulations have been established for 78 contaminants: 50
organics, 18 inorganics, 2 radionuclides, and
8 microbiologicals. For each contaminant,
 ,     .    ,         i • i •                   :  Safe Drinking Water Act
the national primary drinking water
regulations establish Maximum Contaminant
Level Goals (MCLGs) and Maximum
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                SDWA-1

-------
Contaminant Levels (MCLs) or treatment techniques.

The National Primary Drinking Water Regulations also establish testing procedures, monitoring
requirements such as minimum monitoring frequencies, record-keeping requirements, public
notification requirements and requirements for routine reporting to the State or EPA.  Specific
analytical methods must be used and the analyses must be conducted by laboratories certified
by EPA or the State. Some state programs require that the analyses be conducted by the State
laboratory.

Monitoring requirements vary by contaminant, by source  of supply, and  by system size.  The
State customizes the sampling frequency to the local circumstances and may even waive
sampling requirements for specific contaminants.

Underground Injection Control Program

The SDWA UIC program (40 CFR Parts 144-148) is a permit program that protects
underground sources of drinking water through regulation of five different classes of injection
wells. A "well" is defined at 40 CFR § 144.3 as a bored, drilled, or driven shaft, or a dug hole,
whose depth is greater than the largest surface dimension. The five well classes are as follows:

        Class I:      Technologically sophisticated wells that inject large volumes of hazardous
                    and non-hazardous wastes into deep isolated rock formations that are
                    separated from the lowermost underground source of drinking water
                    (USDW) by many layers of impermeable clay and  rock.

        Class II:      Wells that inject fluids associated with oil and natural gas production.
                    Most of the injected fluid is brine that is produced when oil and gas are
                    extracted from the earth (about 10  barrels for every barrel of oil).

        Class III:     Wells that inject super-hot steam or water into mineral formations, which
                    are then pumped to the surface and extracted.  Generally, the fluid is
                    treated and reinjected into the same formation.  More than 50  percent of
                    the salt and 80 percent of the uranium extraction in the United  States is
                    produced this way.

        Class IV:     Wells that inject hazardous or radioactive wastes into or above
                    underground sources of drinking water.  These wells are  banned under
                    the UIC program because they directly threaten the quality of
                    underground sources of drinking water.

        Class V:     Wells that use injection practices not included in the other classes. Some
                    Class V wells are technologically advanced wastewater disposal  systems
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                SDWA-2

-------
                    used by chemical facilities, but most are "low-tech" holes in the ground.
                    Generally, these wells are shallow and depend upon gravity to drain or
                    "inject" liquid waste into the ground. Their simple construction provides
                    little or no protection against possible ground water contamination, so it
                    is important to control what goes into them.

Class I and V UIC permitting programs are of significance to chemical facilities. The UIC permit
program is primarily state-run, since EPA has authorized all  but a few states.  UIC permits
include design, operating, inspection, and monitoring requirements. Operation of injection
wells may also be authorized by rule (i.e., permit by rule). Wells used to inject hazardous
waste must also comply with RCRA corrective action standards and must meet applicable
RCRA LDR standards.

Any underground injection is unlawful unless authorized by a permit or a rule. Additionally, the
construction of any well required to have a permit is also prohibited until issuance of that
permit.  All owners or operators are required to apply for a permit, even if authorized by rule,
unless the authorization was for the life of the well.

Currently, there are limited Federal requirements for the injection into Class V wells.
However, if injection into these wells could cause the water in the receiving USDWto violate
primary drinking water regulations, then EPA or an authorized state could require the issuance
of a permit that could include the substantive requirements of the UIC program  (40 CFR
§!44.l2(c)).

SDWA Assessment Considerations

Compliance evaluations should determine whether the facility has its own potable water supply
and if so, whether the facility regularly provides this potable water to at least 25 of the same
people at least six months of the year.  If it is determined that the facility is subject to the
national drinking water regulations, then the inspection team should evaluate whether the
facility has conducted monitoring of required contaminants at required frequency. The
inspector should verify that the facility is using  an approved laboratory and approved tests and is
maintaining the required records. The inspectors should confirm that the facility has notified
employees of violations through continuous posting in conspicuous places in the workplace or
through hand delivered or mailed written notices.

Compliance evaluations should determine if wastes are being injected at the site, and if so, if the
facility is operating under a permit or by rule.  If permitted, the inspection team should verify
that all terms of the permit are being met. The inspection team should confirm that wastes
being injected are identified in the permit and  no unpermitted wastes are injected.  Also, the
inspectors should  evaluate well records and verify that the volume of waste being injected is
within the limitations of the permit.  If operating under  rule, inspectors should verify that a

permit application has been submitted in accordance with the Federal or State requirements
unless the facility is authorized by rule to inject during the life of the well. If operating under
permit by rule conditions, the inspectors should verify that the facility is complying with
applicable regulations identified in 40 CFR Part 144, Subpart C.

Regulations promulgated pursuant to Subtitle C of RCRA, at 40 CFR Parts 260-272, establish a
"cradle-to-grave" system that governs hazardous wastes from the point of generation to
treatment or disposal. As of 1996, 46 States are authorized to implement aspects of the RCRA
program and may include requirements more stringent than Federal regulations in their
authorized program.  There are different levels of State authorization. States can be authorized
(i.e., approval to implement a State-administered program) for the base RCRA program, or
pre-HSWA RCRA requirements, for administering land disposal requirements, and for
administering the RCRA corrective action program.  Non-RCRA authorized states or territories
(Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Puerto Rico and Wyoming) may also have state laws that address
hazardous waste management requirements.

Subtitle D of RCRA sets up a framework for regulating non-hazardous solid wastes. Impacts
from Subtitle D on a perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility
may be direct, where the facility operates a solid waste incinerator or manages an on-site solid
waste landfill, or indirect, coming into play as a result of a facility's  use of an off-site solid waste
disposal facility. Non-hazardous solid wastes are regulated through state solid waste
management programs and are specific to each state.  Typically, units such as solid waste
landfills and non-hazardous waste incinerators are regulated through state-issued permits.
Subtitle I regulates USTs that contain   	
petroleum and hazardous substances.
Regulations for USTs are
promulgated at 40 CFR Part 280.
Following is a summary of RCRA
regulations potentially applicable to
the perfumes, cosmetics, and other
toilet preparations manufacturing
industry.

Hazardous Waste Generation
Generators of hazardous waste are subject to requirements under 40 CFR Part 262.  The
determination of what material is a hazardous waste is the starting point of any RCRA
compliance evaluation.  Regulations for identification of hazardous wastes are detailed in 40
CFR Part 261. Under the Federal rules, to be a hazardous waste,  a waste must:  be a solid
waste (as defined in 40 CFR §261.2); not be excluded from regulation as a hazardous waste
under 40 CFR §261.4; and be a characteristic waste, a listed waste, a mixture of a solid waste
and a listed waste, or a mixture of a solid waste and a characteristic waste that still exhibits that
characteristic.  Also, a waste is hazardous if it is a mixture of soil or water and a listed waste, or
a mixture of soil or water and a characteristic waste that still exhibits that characteristic.

A solid waste, by definition, is any discarded material—solid, liquid, or containerized gas—that
is not excluded under the statute or regulations.  Exclusions include hazardous waste mixed
with domestic sewage, discharged as point source discharges regulated under the CWA and
certain secondary materials that are reclaimed and reused in the original process or processes
in which they were generated.

If a waste meets the definition of solid waste, it is considered hazardous if it exhibits one or
more of four defined hazardous waste characteristics (see Exhibit RCRA-2), or is listed as a
hazardous waste in 40 CFR Part 261  (see Exhibit RCRA-3). It is the generator's responsibility to
determine whether a waste is hazardous. This determination  must be based on test results or
the generator's knowledge  and familiarity with the waste.  Generators may be subject to
enforcement penalties for improperly determining that a waste is not hazardous.

If the waste is not found on any of these lists, it is not hazardous, although it may be listed on a
State hazardous waste list.

Secondary materials generated by the perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturing industry may be classified as solid wastes and potentially hazardous wastes
where they are recycled in certain ways (e.g., used in a manner constituting disposal, burned
for energy recovery, reclaimed, or accumulated speculatively).  Such materials are considered
accumulated speculatively where the material is stored with less than 75 percent recycled
within one calender year.  Under 40 CFR 261 (c)(8),  persons accumulating secondary materials
prior to recycling must be able to show I) the material is potentially recyclable; 2) they have a
feasible means of recycling such material; and 3) during the calendar year the amount of
material recycled or transferred to a different site for  recycling equals at least 75 percent by
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing
RCRA-3

-------
weight or volume of the amount of material accumulated at the beginning of the period. The
75 percent requirement is to be applied to each material of the same type that is recycled in
the same way.  Materials accumulating in units exempt from regulation under § 261.4(c) are
not included in making the calculation. And commercial chemical products being speculatively
accumulated are not regulated as solid wastes.

Hazardous wastes that are recycled are subject to the requirements for generators,
transporters, and storage facilities as identified in 40 CFR §261.6(b) and (c), except as excluded
in 40 CFR §261.6(a)(3).  In addition, §261.6(a)(2) identifies recycled materials that are only
subject to Parts 266 (recycling regulations), 270 (permits), and 124 (NPDES permits).  This
includes recyclable materials such as those that are used in a manner constituting disposal,
hazardous wastes burned for energy recovery in boilers and industrial furnaces, and used oil
burned for energy recovery. Any facility that stores recyclable materials before they are
recycled, except those materials excluded in 40 CFR §261.6(a), must comply with applicable
storage requirements of 40 CFR Parts 264 and 265.

The regulations also establish requirements for residues of hazardous waste in empty
containers. Specifically, 40 CFR §261.7 establishes that empty containers and inner liners from
an empty container are not subject to the hazardous waste regulations, provided that all wastes
have been removed using the practices commonly employed to remove materials from that
type of container, no more than one inch of residue remains in the container or inner liner, or
no more than 3 percent by weight of the total capacity (or 0.3 percent for larger containers)
remains in the container or inner liner. Containers that have held compressed gas are
considered empty when the pressure approaches atmospheric.  For acute hazardous wastes,
additional measures are required.

Generators of hazardous wastes are the first link in the cradle-to-grave chain of hazardous
waste management. Under RCRA, there are three  categories of hazardous waste generators:
large quantity generators (LQGs), small quantity generators (SQGs), and conditionally exempt
small quantity generators (CESQGs).  The  determination of a generator's applicable category is
summarized in Exhibit RCRA-4.

CESQGs must only comply with the Part 262 generator regulations as established at 40 CFR
§261.5.  Specifically, CESQGs must identify the waste to determine if it is a hazardous waste,
accumulate less than 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste at any time, treat or dispose of the
waste on-site, or ensure that the waste is sent to a permitted facility or a recycling facility. The
requirements CESQG are exempt from include,  but are not limited to, the following:

       • •    Manifest requirement
       • •    Exception report—when generator does not receive a copy of the signed
             manifest from the TSD facility
       • •    Biennial/annual report
       • •    Personnel training

Perfumes, Cosmetics, and other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                   RCRA-4

-------
       • •     Contingency plan
             EPA ID number
       • •     Storage requirements—no need to meet technical requirements under part 264
             or 265 for containers or tanks.

However, many transporters will not accept wastes from a generator without an EPA ID
number or manifest.

CESQGs that exceed the 100 kilograms per month hazardous waste generation cutoff are
subject to SQG  provisions. CESQGs that exceed the I kilogram per month of acutely
hazardous waste generation cutoff are subject to the LQG provisions.  Note that some States
do not have CESQG exemptions (i.e., all generators must meet the same requirements).

All SQGs and LQGs must comply with requirements as described in 40 CFR Part 262.
Standards for generators establish responsibilities including obtaining an EPA identification
number, preparing hazardous waste manifests, ensuring proper packaging and labeling, meeting
standards for waste accumulation units, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements. This
Part also identifies requirements for generators that are importing or exporting hazardous
wastes into or out of the country.

Generators can  accumulate hazardous waste for up to 90 days (180 days for SQGs) without
obtaining a storage permit provided that the facility complies with specific conditions in 40 CFR
§262.34, including applicable management standards for containers, tanks, and drip pads.  Each
accumulation container must include a "Hazardous Waste" label, identify the date upon which
accumulation began, and the facility must comply with 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart C
(Preparedness and Prevention).  Additionally for LQGs, Subpart D (Contingency Plan and
Emergency Procedures), and with 40 CFR §265.1 6 (Personnel Training).  SQGs have less
stringent requirements for accumulation  than LQGs as identified in 40 CFR §262.34(d) and (e).

Hazardous Waste Transportation Regulations

Facilities that transport hazardous wastes off-site, where these wastes are required to be
manifested pursuant to 40 CFR Part 262, must comply with transporter requirements
established in 40 CFR Part 263. Hazardous waste transportation requirements, the middle link
in the "cradle-to-grave requirements of RCRA, require that the transporter obtain an EPA
identification number, and specify manifesting and recordkeeping requirements, including
specific conditions for shipment by rail or water.  It is important to note that a transporter that
stores wastes at an off-site location for more than 10 days must comply with Parts 264, 265,
268, and 270 for storage of those wastes. Subpart C of Part 263 establishes response
requirements for discharges of hazardous wastes during transport.

Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage,  and Disposal Regulations

Any person owning or operating a facility that treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste is
considered to be an owner/operator of a treatment, storage, or disposal (TSD) facility and  is
subject to requirements identified in 40 CFR Parts 264 and 265. Treatment, storage, and
disposal facilities (TSDFs) are the last link in the cradle-to-grave regulation of RCRA.  All TSDFs
are required to obtain an operating permit and abide by TSD regulations. The TSD regulations
establish design and operating criteria as well as  performance  standards that owners and
operators must meet to protect human health and the environment.  Because TSDs involve
many different types of units, these  regulations are far more extensive than those just described
for generators and transporters.

The RCRA TSD regulations include both administrative and technical requirements. The
regulations identify administrative requirements such as the applicability of the requirements,
general facility standards, preparedness and prevention, contingency plans and emergency
procedures,  and manifesting, reporting, and recordkeeping. Technical requirements may
address ground water monitoring, closure/post-closure, financial requirements,  and standards
related to the different types of waste management units.  Specifically, the regulations identify
requirements for containers, tanks,  surface impoundments, waste piles, land treatment, landfills,
incinerators,  waste treatment, underground injection, and miscellaneous  units. Also, RCRA
TSD regulations identify air emission requirements for  process vents, equipment leaks, and
units that store hazardous wastes with  high volatile organic concentrations from specific
operations related to the managing and recycling of hazardous waste.

EPAs hazardous waste permitting program is established at 40 CFR Part  270. New TSDFs
requiring a permit must submit a two part permit application.  Part A is a short, standard form
that collects general information about the facility, while Part B of the application is much more
extensive and requires the facility to supply detailed and highly technical information. This
submission must be made at least 180  days prior to the date on which physical construction is
expected to  start. Once issued, RCRA permits are valid for up to 10 years.
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                  RCRA-7

-------
TSDFs fall into two categories:  interim status facilities and permitted facilities.  Interim status
regulations (40 CFR Part 265) apply to facilities that are operating under a Part A permit while
their Part B permit application is being reviewed.  Any facility that is in existence on the effective
date of statutory or regulatory amendments under P\CP\A that render the facility subject to
permitting requirements qualifies for interim status, provided that the facility notifies EPA of
hazardous waste activity and complies with application requirements of 40 CFR §270.10.
Interim status standards must be met until a Part B permit is issued.  TSDF permit standards (40
CFR Part 264) are facility-specific performance standards and design and operating
requirements that are incorporated  into a TSD permit. Permit writers use the standard permit
language established in 40 CFR  Part 264 to set facility-specific conditions. TSD permits can be
extremely complex and may be several hundred pages in length. As such, an evaluation of
specific permit conditions must  be made at perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturing facilities operating under a RCRATSD permit.

Land  Disposal  Restrictions

Under the Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) regulations  (40 CFR Part 268), hazardous wastes
are largely prohibited from land disposal. Once prohibited, the statute provides two options:
comply with a specified treatment standard or dispose of the waste in  a "no migration unit." Land
disposal includes any placement of hazardous waste into a landfill, land treatment unit, waste
pile, inject well,  salt dome or salt bed formation, underground mine or cave or surface
impoundment.  Restricted hazardous wastes may be land disposed only if certain treatment
standards are met or if waste extract or waste treatment residue concentrations are met, as
specified in 40 CFR §§268.41 -43.  Generators of wastes subject to the LDRs must provide
notification of such to the designated TSD facility to ensure proper treatment prior to disposal.
Facilities that generate less than  100 kilograms of non-acute hazardous waste or less than one
kilogram of acute hazardous waste per month are not subject to the LDRs. The LDRs allow
wastes which would otherwise  be prohibited from land disposal to be treated in surface
impoundments, provided that specific conditions are met as outlined in 40 CFR §268.4.
Facilities may petition EPA for extensions to the effective date of LDRs in certain  instances as
identified in 40 CFR §268.5.

The Land Disposal Restrictions  also  specify that for certain characteristic wastes managed in
non-Clean Water Act (CWA) wastewater treatment systems, non-CWA equivalent systems  or
non-Class I injection wells, the underlying hazardous constituents reasonably expected to be
present in the waste at the point of generation should be treated as well as the hazardous
characteristic. For wastes that are characteristic for organics (i.e., DO 18-D043), this
requirement applies to both wastewaters  and  non-wastewaters.  Underlying hazardous
constituents include all those constituents listed in 40 CFR 268.48 (Universal Treatment
Standards).

The LDRs prohibit the use of dilution as a substitute for treatment to meet the LDRs.
However, wastes that are hazardous only because they exhibit a characteristic and that are

Perfumes, Cosmetics, and other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                   RCRA-8

-------
treated in a treatment system which treats wastes and subsequently discharges these wastes
pursuant to a CWA permit are exempt from LDRs provided that the characteristic is removed
prior to management in a land based unit. Exhibit RCRA-5 provides a decision tree for making the
determination as to whether dilution of a waste is permissible. Storage of hazardous wastes
restricted from land disposal under Part 268 Subpart C is prohibited, unless certain conditions
are met as identified in 40 CFR §268.50.

Underground Storage Tank Regulations

Underground storage tanks (USTs) containing petroleum and hazardous substances are
regulated under 40 CFR Part 280.  Federal, state, and local agencies are  or may be involved in
regulating USTs.  The statute provides EPA with the authority to develop and enforce the UST
program, but states have discretionary authority to develop their own  UST regulatory program
as long as the program is no less stringent than the Federal program.  Local agencies may also
implement  UST provisions through local ordinances.

An underground storage tank is one that stores "regulated substances"  and that has at least  10
percent of its volume below the surface of the ground, including piping connected to the tank.
Regulated substances include hazardous substances regulated under CERCLA (above de
minimis concentrations) and any petroleum products that are liquid at standard conditions.
Regulated substances do not include hazardous wastes. As identified in 40 CFR §280.10(b)(l),
underground tanks containing hazardous waste are not subject to 40 CFR Part 280
requirements.  Rather, underground tanks containing hazardous wastes are subject to  RCRA
requirements, as appropriate.

Exclusions to the UST regulations include tanks such as for heating oil used primarily for space
heating on the premises where the tank is stored, flow-through process tanks, any wastewater
treatment tank system regulated under the CWA, tanks less than I 10 gallons in capacity, spill or
overflow containment systems that are expeditiously emptied after use, storm water and
wastewater collection systems, and tanks situated on or above the floor of underground areas
such as basements, shafts, and tunnels.

The regulations at 40 CFR Part 280 include conditions for design, construction, operation,
installation,  and notification; general operating requirements; release detection; release
response, investigation, and confirmation; release reporting and corrective  action; out-of-
service UST systems and closures; and financial responsibility.

The UST program requires that by December 22, 1998, all existing USTs must add spill,
overfill, and corrosion protection, close the existing UST; or replace the existing UST with a
new UST.  Spill protection is defined to include catchment basins to contain spills from  delivery
hoses. Overfill protection requires either an automatic shutoff valve, overfill alarms, or ball float
valves. Corrosion protection requires that existing tanks match one of the following tank
conditions and one of the piping conditions:
              Tanks
                    Steel tank has corrosion-resistant coating AND cathodic protection

             -      Piping made of (or enclosed in) noncorrodible material.

New USTs must have a suitable dielectric coating in addition to cathodic protection.  Also, new
USTs must be installed in accordance with a code of practice and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Installation of new USTs must also be certified. Any facility which
brings an UST into use after May 8,  1986, must submit the Notification Form prescribed in
Appendix I of Part 280 (or a comparable state form) within 30 days of bringing the UST into
use.  This form must be submitted to the state or local agency or department designated in
Appendix 11 of Part 280.

RCRA Compliance Assessment Considerations

The  key components of a P\CP\A assessment are knowledge of the facility, a document review,
and an assessment plan.

A P\CP\A self-assessment requires familiarity with what hazardous wastes are generated at the
perfumes, cosmetics,  and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility and how these wastes
are managed. Perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility
operations can be exceedingly complex and varied, so a knowledge of each operation is
necessary.

One source of information for determining compliance with P\CP\A requirements is a
document review.  Useful documents to review include facility maps and blueprints; aerial
photographs;  plant organization charts; piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs); operating
or procedure manuals; information about emission points, waste streams, or monitoring
results; the daily operating log; company spill reports; permit applications; TRI reports;
annual/biannual operating reports; and documents prepared for environmental  activities such as
siting a facility  or remedial activity.

Before conducting an assessment, the  assessor should draw up a Plan that traces material flows
through the plant. The Plan should indicate whether samples will be necessary to determine if
a particular waste stream is hazardous or if a release of hazardous material  has occurred.  In
addition, appropriate  reports should be prepared as required,  for example, Quality
Assurance/Quality Compliance Plans.  Also, the Plan should  reflect any special considerations
set forth in the facility permit or any consent decree or agency findings and orders.

EPA  has published various P\CP\A Inspection Checklists which are useful as guidance and as a
framework for a Plan. For example, checklists are available that list requirements from RCP\A
regulations for generators of hazardous waste, closure and post-closure plans and
requirements, and land disposal requirements for generators.

Perfumes, Cosmetics, and other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                  RCRA-1

-------
Assessing compliance with RCRA paperwork and administrative requirements is as important as
assessing compliance with waste management requirements.  Administrative and paperwork
requirements include keeping a daily log of facility operations,  submitting an annual/biannual
operating report to the regulatory agency, manifest requirements, waste analysis plans,
certifications, having a contingency plan on file and procedures in place to implement the plan,
conducting an adequate training program, and implementing adequate plant security.

During the actual assessment, the evaluation team should sit down with plant operations
personnel  and discuss plant organization and site operations, identifying and verifying major
facility processes, preparedness and prevention measures, safety procedures that are observed
and that need to be observed during the visual inspection, descriptions and locations of special
equipment, and training programs.

     Emergency Planning  and Community
              Right-to-Know Act  (EPCRA)
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA), also known as
Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III, is designed to provide the general
public and emergency planning and response personnel with information regarding the
potential hazards in their community. EPCRA regulations identify emergency planning and
notification procedures for hazardous chemicals in the community.  Pursuant to EPCRA, EPA
implements and enforces four regulatory programs applicable to perfumes, cosmetics, and
other toilet preparations manufacturing facilities. These programs are described below.  The
detailed requirements included in the applicable regulations are presented later in this section.

Hazardous Substance Notification

Pursuant to 40 CFR §302.6, facilities that release a hazardous substance in a quantity equal to
or exceeding the reportable quantity (RQ) established in 40 CFR §302.4 must immediately
notify the National Response Center at (800) 424-8802 and in the Washington, D.C. area at
(202) 426-2675. Depending on the hazardous substance, the RQ ranges from I to 5,000
pounds.  For this regulation, "release" means any spilling, leaking, pumping, emitting, emptying,
discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment, but
excludes any release that results in exposure to persons solely within a workplace. Reporting
procedures are similar to those required under 40 CFR Part I 17 (CWA), but specify a different
list of hazardous substances.

Emergency Planning and Notification

Pursuant to 40 CFR Part 355, any facility at which there is present an amount of any extremely
hazardous substance, as defined in 40 CFR Part 355, equal to or in excess of its threshold
planning quantity, shall notify the Commission (i.e., the State emergency response commission
(SERC) or the Governor if there is no commission) and the  local emergency planning
committee (LEPC) identified in
40 CFR §355.30. Any facility
producing, using, or storing a
hazardous chemical, as defined
in 40 CFR §355.20, that
releases an RQ of an
extremely hazardous substance
or a CERCLA hazardous
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                EPCRA-1

-------
substance must immediately notify the local emergency planning committee and the State
emergency planning commission as specified  in 40 CFR §355.40.

Hazardous Chemical Reporting: Community Right-To-Know

As required in 40 CFR Part  370, perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturing facilities are required to submit a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), as required
in 29 CFR § 1910.1200(c), or a list of hazardous chemicals for which MSDSs are required (i.e.,
a minimum threshold of zero pounds), for each hazardous chemical used as defined in 40 CFR
§370.2 to the SERC, LEPC, and the fire department.

All perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facilities must also submit a
Tier I or Tier II Form,  as identified in 40 CFR §§370.40 and 41, for all hazardous chemicals
(above a threshold of 500 pounds) and all extremely hazardous chemicals (above a threshold
of zero pounds) indicating the aggregate amount of these chemicals at their facilities classified by
hazard category.  All facilities must submit a Tier I form (Aggregate Information by Hazard
Type).  If any agency requests a Tier II report (Specific Information  by Chemical), the perfumes,
cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility is required to submit this
information within 30 days of the request.  Any facility may submit a Tier II form in lieu of a Tier
I form.

Information required in 40 CFR Part 370 must be submitted to the SERC, LEPC, and the fire
department.

Toxic Chemical  Release Inventory

Section 3 I 3 of EPCRA requires submission of the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI)
Reporting Form (the Form R) as required in 40 CFR Part 372. Form R provides EPA with a
compilation of release information that supports future regulations and also provides the public
with information on releases of toxic chemicals in the community.  Facilities subject to the
requirement must report the quantities of both routine and  accidental releases of listed toxic
chemicals (40 CFR §372.65), the maximum amount of the listed toxic chemicals onsite during
the calendar year, and the amount contained in wastes transferred  offsite.

A complete Form R is required annually for each toxic chemical manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used at each covered facility as described in 40 CFR Part 372. The form must be
filed on or before July I of the following year and submitted both to EPA and the State.

Included in the Form R reporting requirements are air releases that are not released through
any point source (stocks, vents, ducts, pipes,  or any other combined air stream). These
releases include  (I)  fugitive equipment leaks from valves, pump seals, flanges, compressors,
sampling connections, etc.,  (2) evaporative losses from surface impoundments and spills; (3)
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                EPCRA-2

-------
releases from building ventilation systems; and (4) any other fugitive or non-point air emissions.
Engineering estimates and mass balance equations may be useful in estimating these fugitive
emissions.

Perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facilities that have 10 or more
employees are required to submit a form for any Section 3 13 listed toxic chemical that is
manufactured or processed at the facility in excess of a 25,000 pound threshold during the
course of a calendar year or is a listed toxic chemical that is otherwise used at the facility in
excess of a 10,000 pound threshold during the course of the year.  (Toxic chemicals contained
in mixtures and trade name products must also be accounted for when making threshold and
release determinations.)  The facility should use the best information available to determine
chemical quantities.  Section 3 13 listed toxic chemicals do not have to be considered if they are
present in a mixture at less than a de minimis total of 1.0 percent, or 0.1 percent combined for
toxic chemicals meeting the OSHA carcinogen standard.  Uses that are exempt from reporting
requirements include, among others, use of toxic chemicals contained  in intake water (used for
processing or non-contact cooling) or in  intake air (used either as compressed air or for
combustion).

A supplier notification requirement exists at 40 CFR Part 372, Subpart C for facilities that
manufacture, import, or process a listed toxic chemical, and then sell or otherwise distribute a
mixture or trade name product containing the toxic chemical above de minimis levels to either
another manufacturing facility or another facility that then sells the same mixture or trade name
product to another manufacturing facility. Supplier notification is also required if a waste
mixture containing a toxic chemical is sold to a recycling or recovery facility. This notification
must be made to each customer with the first shipment of each calendar year. Records of
notifications must be kept for at least 3 years.

An alternative threshold of one million pounds per year applies to facilities that calculate the
annual reportable amount of atoxic chemical to be  less than 500 pounds for the combined
total of quantities released, disposed, treated, recovered, combusted, and transferred.  Facilities
meeting these alternative reporting thresholds are not required to submit Form R for these
chemicals. Rather, the regulations at 40  CFR §372.95 identify certification procedures that are
to be followed.

EPCRA Assessment Considerations

When  attempting to determine compliance with EPCRA at a perfumes, cosmetics, and other
toilet preparations manufacturing facility,  activities will focus primarily on reporting and
recordkeeping.  The Form R is the highest profile reporting requirement under EPCRA.  If the
perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility meets the
requirements set out above for reporting, it must submit a Form R annually for every chemical
it has on site in excess of the threshold amounts. The Form  R does not require specific studies
or analyses, the information submitted may be based on existing information and on estimates.

Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                 EPCRA-3

-------
However, EPA does consider data quality when reviewing the Form R and will question
numbers and data that do not appear to be reasonable.

The facility should pay particular attention to intermediate products it manufactures and then
uses in different products; it should also identify any chemicals it uses in waste treatment.  The
facility is required to submit a Form  R both for intermediates and treatment chemicals.  A facility
should also be mindful of areas that are likely to have unreported spills, such as raw materials
handling areas, pumps, and pipe fittings and connections. In addition, a facility should identify if
(and where) volatile organic chemicals are used. VOC emissions in an open area to the
atmosphere do constitute a regulated release under EPCRA.  These emissions must be
reported on the Form R.
EPCRA Regulatory Requirements

The following sections provide a summary of the principal regulations developed pursuant to
EPCRA that may apply to the perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing
industry.  The regulations included are:

                  Designation of Hazardous Substances, §302.4
              REQUIREMENTS
       REGULATORY THRESHOLD
 Under Section  02(a) of CERCLA, these
 regulations identify reportable quantities of
 hazardous substances and set forth reporting
 requirements of releases.

 Listed hazardous substances are in Table
 §302.4 and are designated as "hazardous under
 Section  02 (a) of CERCLA." Also included are
 "unlisted" hazardous substances which are
 defined in 40 CFR302.4(b) as characteristics of
 hazardous waste.
The Table includes the reportable quantities of
these substances.  Unlisted hazardous
substances have reportable quantity limit of 100
pounds (§302.5), except for unlisted hazardous
wastes that exhibit extraction procedure (EP)
toxicity as identified in Part 26  which vary
based on the reportable quantity of the
pollutant of concern and its lowest value in
Table §302.4. Appendix A of §302.4 contains
a sequential  CAS number listing of chemicals
and Appendix B contains a listing of regulated
radionuclides.
                        Notification  Requirements, §302.6
              REQUIREMENTS
       REGULATORY THRESHOLD
 Facilities which release reportable quantities
 established in Table §302.4 must immediately
 notify the  National Response Center at (800)
 424-8802 or in the Washington D.C. area at
 (202)426-2675.

 Table §302.4 is used to determine whether the
 regulations apply to a specific facility based on
 chemicals that are released.
Exposure to persons within a workplace is
excluded. Reportable quantities range from
to 5,000 pounds.  Release means any spill,  leak,
pumping, emitting, emptying, discharging,
injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or
disposing into the  environment.  Specific
requirements for various types of radionuclides,
including those which are exempt from
reporting to the National Response Center are
given in §302.6.

               Clean Water Act (CWA)
               Regulatory  Requirements
The primary objective of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is to restore and maintain the chemical,
physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters. The CWA regulates both "direct"
discharges to waters of the United States and "indirect" discharges to publicly owned treatment
works (POTWs). Under the authority of the CWA, several types of regulations have been
developed to control discharges to the Nation's waters.  Exhibit CWA-1 illustrates how the
following regulations and permits work to limit the wastewater discharged:

      •     Effluent Limitation Guidelines and Categorical Pretreatment Standards establish
            limitations for direct and indirect discharges (40 CFR Part 405-471)

      •     National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program controls
            direct discharges (40 CFR Parts 122-125, 501,  503)

      • •     National Pretreatment Program controls indirect discharges (40 CFR Parts 403)

            Spills of Oil and Hazardous Substances [CWA §3 I I (b)(3)] prohibits oil
            discharges (40 CFR Part I  10)

      •     Oil Pollution Prevention establishes procedures to prevent discharge of oil (40
            CFR Part I 12)

      •     Reportable Quantities for Hazardous Substances designates hazardous
            substances and the reportable volumes for each (40 CFR Parts I 16 and  I 17).
The following sections address each
regulation individually and identify
the inspection considerations for
programs implemented under the
CWA. The following sections
emphasize how the program is
implemented with the specific
requirements and compliance dates.

Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Categorical  Pretreatment Standards
For the CWA, industrial wastewater is regulated either by effluent limitations guidelines (direct
dischargers) or categorical pretreatment standards (indirect dischargers).  Effluent guidelines and
categorical pretreatment standards apply only to industrial users with specific industrial
processes. Categorical pretreatment standards are technology-based limitations, requiring
compliance at the end-of-process.  EPA has promulgated effluent guidelines (for direct
discharges) and existing source and new source pretreatment standards (for indirect
dischargers) for over 30 industrial categories.  Effluent guidelines do not exist for the perfumes,
cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing industry.  There are, however, ancillary
processes at perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facilities that may
be subject to effluent guidelines and categorical standards. Specific regulations that may apply
include: Organic Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (40 CFR Part 414); Inorganic
Chemicals (40 CFR Part 415);  Soap and Detergent Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 417); and
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing
                                     CWA-2

-------
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 439).  Where a facility performs a process that is
regulated by any of these effluent guidelines and categorical standards, the facility must comply
with the corresponding Federal requirements.

In most cases, the perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility will
have a wastewater discharge permit issued by the local sewer authority that incorporates
applicable local and Federal requirements. Where a facility discharges to a POTWthat is not
authorized to implement and enforce the pretreatment program, the facility will generally not
have a wastewater discharge permit unless it has been issued by the State. In these instances, it
is the facility's responsibility to comply with any applicable Part 403 requirements.

Process wastewater flows are defined in the regulations (40 CFR §40 I.I I) to include waste
waters resulting from manufacture of perfumes, cosmetics, and  other toilet preparations
products that come in direct contact with raw materials, intermediate products, or final
products, and surface runoff from the immediate process area that has the potential to become
contaminated. Non-contact cooling waters, utility waste waters, general site runoff, ground
waters, and other nonprocess waste waters generated onsite are specifically excluded from the
definition of process wastewater discharges. As such, the composition of each waste stream
that is being generated is not as crucial as the amount of process and non-process wastewater,
respectively.
NPDES Program
NPDES permits, issued by either EPA or an
authorized State (EPA has authorized 41
States and territories, as identified in Exhibit
CWA-2, to issue permits), contain industry-
specific  technology-based (i.e., effluent
guidelines as discussed in the previous
section) and water quality-based effluent
discharge limitations, as well as monitoring,
record keeping, reporting, and other
requirements. All facilities discharging to the
Nation's v\aters must receive an NPDES
permit prior to initiating their discharges.
This covers both process  and non-process (e.g., non-contact cooling) waste waters, and storm
water discharges associated with industrial activity that discharge either to a municipal separate
storm sewer or directly to waters of the United States. To regulate such dischargers,
EPA/States may issue NPDES permits to perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparation
manufacturing facilities that include process, non-process, and storm water conditions or these
may be in separate permits.
The NPDES permit program is
implemented according to 40 CFR Part
122: EPA Administered Permit
Programs: The National Pollutant Dis-
charge Elimination System. These
regulations establish the general program
requirements, permit application
requirements, permit conditions, and
procedures for transfer, modification,
revocation, re issuance, and termination
of permits.

                                             to the storm water regulations) are
                                             defined in 40 CFR 401.1 I (q), 401.1  I (n),
                                             and 122.44(b) respectively.
EPA issues two types of NPDES permits,
individual and general. An individual permit
is a permit tailored for a specific facility.  A
general permit regulates a category of similar
dischargers within a geographical area or
within a State. There are few exemptions to
the requirement to obtain an NPDES
permit, as specified in 40 CFR § 122.3.  For perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturing facilities, there are four instances where this exemption may apply:

      •      Discharges to POTWs (these discharges will be regulated by a permit issued by
             the POTW if the municipality has an approved pretreatment program and are
             regulated by the  National Pretreatment Program)

      •      Discharges into privately owned treatment works, except as otherwise required
             by EPA

      • •     Discharges of dredged or fill material (regulated by CWA §404)

      •      Any discharge in  compliance with instructions from an on-scene coordinator
             pursuant to 40 CFR Part 300 (i.e., The National Oil and Hazardous Substances
             Pollution Contingency Plan) or 33 CFR § 153.10(e) (i.e., Pollution by Oil and
             Hazardous Substances).
             [Note:  Pollution by Oil  and Hazardous Substances is enforced by the Coast
             Guard and is not discussed herein.]
EPA or the State may terminate or modify a permit where it is determined that a permitted
activity endangers  human health or the environment and can only be regulated to acceptable
levels by a permit  modification or termination of the permit.  Likewise, the permit may be
terminated or an application denied if the permittee fails to fully disclose all relevant facts or
misrepresents relevant facts at any time.  EPA
or the State may modify a permit as a minor
modification allowing for a change in
ownership or operational control of a facility
where the Director determines that no
other change in the permit is necessary,
provided that a written agreement containing
a specific date for transfer of permit
responsibility, coverage, and liability between
the current and new permittee has been
submitted to the Director as specified in 40
CFR §122.61.
                                             Specific permit applicability requirements
                                             for storm water discharges are identified

-------
The evaluation team should be aware that NPDES permits are issued with both an issuance
and expiration date and the permits are issued for a period of up to 5 years.  In some instances,
the NPDES permits issued by EPA or the State remain in effect even  after their expiration date,
provided that the facility has submitted a timely and complete application (pursuant to 40 CFR
§ 122.21) and EPA or the State, through no fault of the permittee, does not issue a new permit
with an effective date on or before the expiration date of the previous permit.

Pursuant to 40 CFR § 122.21, new dischargers are required to apply  at least  180 days before
commencing discharge while existing permittees are required to reapply at least 180 days prior
to the expiration date of the existing permit, unless a later date has been granted by the
Director.  In no case may an application be submitted after the expiration date of an existing
permit. EPA has specific application forms that are to be used for NPDES permits. Application
forms that apply to a perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility
include:

                         122.26(d)
While specific permit conditions might vary from permit to permit, all NPDES permits must
contain the conditions specified in 40 CFR § 122.41.  In general, these include requirements
for:
       • •  Reapplication
       • •  Operation and maintenance
       • •  Effluent limitations
       • •  Monitoring and record keeping
       • •  Reporting
       • •  Bypass restrictions
       ••  Upset provisions
       • •  Other standard conditions.

For perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet
preparations manufacturing facilities, both
maximum daily and average monthly
discharge permit limitations are set for each
All perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet
preparations manufacturing facilities are
also required to notify the permitting
authority as soon as they know or have
reason to believe that any activity has
occurred or will occur which would
result in the discharge, on a routine, non-
routine, frequent, or  infrequent basis, of
any toxic pollutant which is not limited in
the permit, if that discharge will exceed
the highest of specified notification levels
as identified in 40 CFR § 122.42(a).

regulated pollutant based on water quality considerations and the permit writer's best
professional judgment.

Additionally, environmental laws (as identified in 40 CFR § 122.49) may apply to the issuance of
NPDES permits. Specific laws that may apply include:

       • •  Wild and Scenic Rivers Act
       • •  National Historic Preservation Act of 1966
       • •  Endangered Species Act
       • •  Coastal Zone Management Act
       • •  Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
       ••  National Environmental Policy Act.

It is the facility's responsibility to work with the EPA State NPDES permit writers to ensure that
these statutes are adequately addressed during the permitting process.  The evaluation of
applicability for each of these statutes will occur as part of permit development.

Pretreatment Program
The goals of the pretreatment program are to: (I) prevent damage to municipal wastewater
treatment plants that may occur when hazardous, toxic or other wastes are discharged into a
sewer system (i.e., interference); (2) prevent pollutants from passing through the treatment
plant untreated and violating discharge limitations or causing exceedances of water quality
standards; and (3) encourage the reuse and recycling of municipal and industrial sludge (i.e.,
protect the quality of sludge generated by these plants).  Nationwide, approximately 1,500
POTWs have been required to develop and implement local municipal pretreatment
programs. The requirement to develop and implement a program is included in the POTWs
NPDES permit. Through this program, the POTW is directly responsible for regulation of
certain significant industrial users discharging to the POTW wastewater treatment system,
including facilities regulated by categorical pretreatment standards. EPA's General Pretreatment
Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution (40 CFR Part 403) establish
requirements for POTW programs to regulate discharges from industrial facilities to POTWs
and establishes certain requirements for industrial users (e.g., monitoring and record keeping).

In many instances, perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facilities
discharge to POTWs that are authorized to implement and enforce the pretreatment
requirements through an approved pretreatment program. Where this occurs, the facility is
required to abide by the terms of a POTW-issued control mechanism (e.g., permit) and the
local sewer use  ordinance (SUO).  It is the POTWs responsibility to appropriately implement
and enforce these requirements and its pretreatment program, that must be at least as stringent
as the Federal pretreatment requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 403, on its industrial users.
However, even if a POTW fails to properly apply Federal or State regulations, the perfumes,
cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility has an independent obligation to
comply with applicable Federal and State requirements.
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                  CWA-7

-------
Some perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facilities are located in
municipalities that do not have locally-run pretreatment programs. In these areas, permits are
generally not issued by EPA or the State, rather these facilities are obligated to comply with
Federal and/or State pretreatment requirements as identified in the regulations.  In this case,
the general pretreatment regulations (40 CFR Part 403) apply to the facility.  Currently, EPA
has delegated pretreatment program authority to 29 States (as identified in Exhibit CEA-2), in
which the State directly controls those industries that discharge to municipalities without locally-
run pretreatment programs. In all remaining States, unless the POTW is authorized to
implement and  enforce its own pretreatment program, EPA implements and enforces the
program.

The 40 CFR Part 403 pretreatment regulations specify, among other things, requirements for
non-domestic sources discharging pollutants into POTWs.  The regulations set out three
different types of effluent limitations for industrial  discharges: prohibited discharge standards,
categorical pretreatment standards, and local discharge limitations.

Prohibited discharge standards forbid certain types of discharges to the POTW, including
POTWs without approved pretreatment programs. These standards include both general and
specific prohibitions.  The general prohibitions are national prohibitions against pollutants
discharged to a POTW that cause pass through or interference, as defined in §403.3. Specific
prohibitions, at 40 CFR §403.5(b), are national prohibitions against pollutants that cause
problems at the POTW, such as fire or explosion, harm to worker health and safety,  corrosion,
obstruction of flow, excessive heat, trucked or hauled waste or excessive mineral or synthetic
oil and grease.

As noted earlier effluent  guidelines and categorical pretreatment standards apply to specific
process water waste streams from specific industrial processes. While the manufacture of
perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations is not regulated by effluent guidelines or
categorical pretreatment standards, ancillary processes performed at the facility (e.g., soap and
detergent manufacturing) may be subject to these types of Federal standards. Those standards
are technology-based and apply at the end  of the regulated industrial process.

Since National prohibited discharge standards and categorical standards are not POTW-specific,
these limitations may not necessarily protect a POTW from pass through or interference.  As
such, all POTWs authorized to implement and enforce a local pretreatment program, and
many other POTWs that have received problematic discharges from their industrial users, are
required to develop local discharge limitations to address site-specific concerns regarding
interference with the POTW wastewater collection system or treatment plant or pass through
of pollutants to the receiving stream or sludge. In addition, local limits translate prohibited
discharge  standards into  numerical limitations that can be more readily evaluated.

The General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR  Part 403) also specify reporting requirements
applicable to industrial dischargers. POTWs may set more stringent  requirements in their local

Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                   CWA-8

sewer use ordinance or in a wastewater discharge permit issued to the perfumes, cosmetics,
and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility, but at a minimum, perfumes, cosmetics, and
other toilet preparations manufacturing facilities that are subject to any categorical standards
must submit semiannual monitoring reports (403.12(e)), notices of potential problems,
including slug loads (403.12(f)), notification of effluent violations (403.12(g)(2)), notification of
changed discharge (403.120); must keep records as required (403.12(o)), and must notify of
hazardous waste discharges (403.12(p)).  The regulations also include upset and bypass
provisions,  in §403.1 6 and §403.17, respectively, that apply to industrial dischargers.

Policy on Effluent Trading in Watersheds
The evaluation team should be aware of EPA's draft Framework for Watershed-Based Effluent
Trading (May 1996).  The fundamental principle of trading within the Clean Water Act
framework is that water quality standards must be met and technology-based  requirements
must remain in place.

Trading is a method to  attain and/or maintain water quality standards, by allowing sources of
pollution  to achieve pollutant reductions through substituting a cost-effective and enforceable
mix of controls on other sources of discharge.  Effluent trading potentially offers a number of
economic,  environmental, and social benefits.  Proposed types of effluent trading approaches
are (I) intra-plant, (2) pretreatment, (3) point/point source, (4) point/nonpoint source, and (5)
nonpoint/nonpoint source.

Watershed-based trading will be implemented on a voluntary basis under existing CWA
authorities. There will be a substantial public outreach effort to obtain stakeholders' (e.g.,
regulated sources, non-regulated sources, regulatory agencies, and the public)
recommendations and  insights on draft portions of the trading policy prior to implementation.
Facilities interested in this trading policy should initiate dialogue with their local permitting
authority.

Spills of Oil and Hazardous Substances
The regulations at 40 CFR Part I 10 apply to the discharge of oil, which is prohibited by Section
3 I I (b)(3) of the CWA.  For purposes of this regulation, "discharge" is defined  as any spilling,
leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping. Prohibited discharges include
those into or upon the  navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or the
contiguous zone or that which may affect natural resources under the jurisdiction of the United
States in such quantities that may be harmful to the public health  or welfare of the  United
States. EPA has determined that such harmful discharges of oil include those that violate
applicable water quality standards, or cause a film or sheen upon or discoloration of the surface
of the water or adjoining shorelines or cause a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the
surface of the water or  upon adjoining shorelines. Addition of dispersants or emulsifiers to oil
to be discharged that would circumvent these provisions is prohibited. The National Response
Center as described in 40 CFR § I 10.10 must be immediately notified of any discharge in
violation of these restrictions.
Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                  CWA-9

-------
Oil Pollution  Prevention
The regulations at 40 CFR Part I 12 establish procedures, methods and equipment, and other
requirements for equipment to prevent the discharge of oil into or upon the navigable waters
of the United States or adjoining shorelines (i.e., preparation and  implementation of Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans). This part applies to owners or
operators of non-transportation related onshore and offshore facilities engaged in drilling,
producing, gathering, storing,  processing, refining, transferring, distributing, or consumingoil and
oil products which could reasonably be expected to discharge oil  in harmful quantities, as
defined in 40 CFR Part  I 10.  Standards for the preparation and implementation of a SPCC Plan
are set out in 40 CFR § I 12.7, while specific requirements for these Plans are outlined in 40
CFR§I 12.3.

This Part does not apply to facilities that both (I) have an underground buried storage capacity
for oil of 42,000 gallons of oil or less and (2) the storage capacity for oil, which is not buried, is
1,320 gallons or less, provided that no single container has a capacity in excess of 660 gallons.

Reportable Quantities for Hazardous Substances
Under Section 31 I (b) the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, EPA promulgated rules which
designate hazardous substances and the reportable quantity (RQ) of hazardous substances,
respectively (40 CFR Parts I 16 and  I 17). When an amount equal to or in excess of the RQ is
discharged into or upon the navigable waters of the United  States, adjoining shorelines, or into
or upon the  contiguous zone, the facility must provide notice to the Federal government of the
discharge, following Department of Transportation requirements set forth in 33 CFR
§ 153.203. For purposes of this regulation, "discharge"  means any spilling, leaking, pumping,
pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping. This requirement does not apply to facilities that
discharge the substance in compliance with an NPDES  permit or a Part 404 Wetlands (dredge
and fill) permit.  RQs for specific chemicals are listed in 40 CFR § I 17.3.

CWA Assessment Considerations
To evaluate compliance with  effluent limitations and effluent monitoring, the assessor should
verify that the facility's operations are properly regulated by the permit  and that monitoring
results are representative of the facility's operations. Perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet
preparations production may be either a batch or continuous operation.  For batch processes,
the amount and frequency of wastewater generated is potentially much higher than for
continuous processes. The investigator should verify that facility operations have not changed
such that wastewater characteristics changed significantly, but if so, that proper notification was
given to the permitting authority.

The assessor team should pay particular attention to treatment system  performance at a
perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facility.  Where treatment
systems are installed,  the investigator needs to verify that proper O&M practices are in place to
ensure consistent treatment plant performance.  O&M should include documentation of all
activities performed (e.g., calibrations, inspections, repairs, chemical additions, etc.).  Evaluation

Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations Manufacturing                 CWA-10

-------
of trends in monitoring results can indicate improper O&M. For example, steam strippers can
lose efficiency due to fouling of the packing material if the equipment is not cleaned at the
proper frequency.  The investigator should verify that backup systems or procedures exist for
the periods when system O&M is being conducted. Also, the investigator should verify that the
facility has adequate staff to operate and maintain the treatment system.  In many instances, this
may require full-time, around the clock staffing.

Because of the vast array of process equipment and piping, it is important that the facility's
operation and maintenance (O&M) program include regular facility assessments for leaks, spills,
and stressed equipment and a documented procedure for conducting these assessments.  In
addition,  areas that have a high potential for spills or leaks (e.g., pipes,  pumps, fittings, etc.)
should have spill containment installed to prevent major releases to the environment, to the
facility's onsite treatment system, or to the POTW.

Finally, when evaluating compliance with effluent limitations, the investigator should verify that
the monitoring results are representative of facility operations and consistent with 40 CFR Part
136 procedures. [Note that "EPA approved methods" does not indicate that proper
procedures were followed. EPA has approved  methods for drinking water, wastewater, and
solid waste which can all be used to analyze pollutant concentrations in wastewater,  but only
Part 136  regulations apply to CWA regulations.] Because of the potential variations in
production at perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations manufacturing facilities, a
wastewater sample collected on a given day may not be a fair estimate of typical facility
operations. Also, wastewater from perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturers can  be highly complex, causing matrix interferences that can hinder laboratory
analysis at the regulatory limitations. The assessor should verify that analytical results reported
as "Not Detected"  have been analyzed down to the requisite quantification level. In June 1993,
EPA published a guidance manual on laboratory protocol to improve analytical performance
due to matrix interference and other complications. The manual is called Guidance on
Evaluation, Resolution, and [Documentation of Analytical Problems Associated with Compliance
Monitoring.

When evaluating compliance with the oil and hazardous substance regulations, the investigator
should inquire about past instances of spills (or leaks, pumping, etc.) and should identify how
the facility reacted to each circumstance.  Specifically, the assessors should note: what material
was spilled; where did the discharge go; what quantity was spilled;  what was the reportable
quantity;  what was the facility's response for containment, clean-up, and notification;  any related
health and safety issues for the plant, the community, or the environment; and what are the
facility's plans to prevent a recurrence of the situation. The assessor should also review the
SPCC Plan and  any other spill or  slug control plan onsite applicable to the facility. As part of the
pretreatment program, the facility may be required to implement a spill and slug control plan
concurrent with the SPCC plan and reportable  quantities regulation.

CWA Regulatory Requirements

The following section provides a summary of the principal regulations developed pursuant to
the CWA that are applicable to the perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturing industry.  The regulations included are:

       • •  40 CFR Part I 10 - Discharge of Oil

       • •  40 CFR Part I 12 - Oil Pollution Prevention

       • •  40 CFR Part I 16 - Designation of Hazardous Substances

       •    40 CFR Part I 17 - Determination of Reportable Quantities for Hazardous
           Substances

The regulatory summaries do not identify requirements that apply to direct discharges (i.e.,
discharges directly to waters of the U.S. that are regulated by an NPDES permit) or indirect
discharges (i.e., discharges to a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) which in turn
discharge to waters in the U.S.).  Perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations
manufacturing facilities should be aware of the requirement to notify the appropriate authority
of discharge practices and comply with applicable discharge permits.
