EXPLANATION
The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:
Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1
The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each
volume.
LEGAL STATUS
The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).
HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its
revision date (in this case, July 1, 1996), consult the ``List of CFR
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.
EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES
Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be
inserted following the text.
OMB CONTROL NUMBERS
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information
collection request.
[[Page vi]]
Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting
requirements.
OBSOLETE PROVISIONS
Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on
the cover of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text
of provisions in effect on a given date in the past by using the
appropriate numerical list of sections affected. For the period before
January 1, 1986, consult either the List of CFR Sections Affected, 1949-
1963, 1964-1972, or 1973-1985, published in seven separate volumes. For
the period beginning January 1, 1986, a ``List of CFR Sections
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force
of law.
What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which
approval is based are:
(a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of
material published in the Federal Register.
(b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative
process.
(c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
Properly approved incorporations by reference in this volume are
listed in the Finding Aids at the end of this volume.
What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed in
the Finding Aids of this volume as an approved incorporation by
reference, please contact the agency that issued the regulation
containing that incorporation. If, after contacting the agency, you find
the material is not available, please notify the Director of the Federal
Register, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington DC
20408, or call (202) 523-4534.
CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES
A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Statutory
Authorities and Agency Rules (Table I), and Acts Requiring Publication
in the Federal Register (Table II). A list of CFR titles, chapters, and
parts and an alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are
also included in this volume.
An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within
that volume.
The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form.
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in
the daily Federal Register.
[[Page vii]]
A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.
REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL
There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

chapter, the following terms have the meanings given below:
When used in parts 260 through 266 and 268 of this chapter, the
following terms have the meanings given below:
Above ground tank means a device meeting the definition of ``tank''
in Sec. 260.10 and that is situated in such a way that the entire
surface area of the tank is completely above the plane of the adjacent
surrounding surface and the entire surface area of the tank (including
the tank bottom) is able to be visually inspected.
Act or RCRA means the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
section 6901 et seq.
Active life of a facility means the period from the initial receipt
of hazardous waste at the facility until the Regional Administrator
receives certification of final closure.
Active portion means that portion of a facility where treatment,
storage, or disposal operations are being or have been conducted after
the effective date of part 261 of this chapter and which is not a closed
portion. (See also ``closed portion'' and ``inactive portion''.)
Administrator means the Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency, or his designee.
Ancillary equipment means any device including, but not limited to,
such devices as piping, fittings, flanges, valves, and pumps, that is
used to distribute, meter, or control the flow of
[[Page 7]]
hazardous waste from its point of generation to a storage or treatment
tank(s), between hazardous waste storage and treatment tanks to a point
of disposal onsite, or to a point of shipment for disposal off-site.
Aquifer means a geologic formation, group of formations, or part of
a formation capable of yielding a significant amount of ground water to
wells or springs.
Authorized representative means the person responsible for the
overall operation of a facility or an operational unit (i.e., part of a
facility), e.g., the plant manager, superintendent or person of
equivalent responsibility.
Battery means a device consisting of one or more electrically
connected electrochemical cells which is designed to receive, store, and
deliver electric energy. An electrochemical cell is a system consisting
of an anode, cathode, and an electrolyte, plus such connections
(electrical and mechanical) as may be needed to allow the cell to
deliver or receive electrical energy. The term battery also includes an
intact, unbroken battery from which the electrolyte has been removed.
Boiler means an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion
and having the following characteristics:
(1)(i) The unit must have physical provisions for recovering and
exporting thermal energy in the form of steam, heated fluids, or heated
gases; and
(ii) The unit's combustion chamber and primary energy recovery
sections(s) must be of integral design. To be of integral design, the
combustion chamber and the primary energy recovery section(s) (such as
waterwalls and superheaters) must be physically formed into one
manufactured or assembled unit. A unit in which the combustion chamber
and the primary energy recovery section(s) are joined only by ducts or
connections carrying flue gas is not integrally designed; however,
secondary energy recovery equipment (such as economizers or air
preheaters) need not be physically formed into the same unit as the
combustion chamber and the primary energy recovery section. The
following units are not precluded from being boilers solely because they
are not of integral design: process heaters (units that transfer energy
directly to a process stream), and fluidized bed combustion units; and
(iii) While in operation, the unit must maintain a thermal energy
recovery efficiency of at least 60 percent, calculated in terms of the
recovered energy compared with the thermal value of the fuel; and
(iv) The unit must export and utilize at least 75 percent of the
recovered energy, calculated on an annual basis. In this calculation, no
credit shall be given for recovered heat used internally in the same
unit. (Examples of internal use are the preheating of fuel or combustion
air, and the driving of induced or forced draft fans or feedwater
pumps); or
(2) The unit is one which the Regional Administrator has determined,
on a case-by-case basis, to be a boiler, after considering the standards
in Sec. 260.32.
Carbon regeneration unit means any enclosed thermal treatment device
used to regenerate spent activated carbon.
Certification means a statement of professional opinion based upon
knowledge and belief.
Closed portion means that portion of a facility which an owner or
operator has closed in accordance with the approved facility closure
plan and all applicable closure requirements. (See also ``active
portion'' and ``inactive portion''.)
Component means either the tank or ancillary equipment of a tank
system.
Confined aquifer means an aquifer bounded above and below by
impermeable beds or by beds of distinctly lower permeability than that
of the aquifer itself; an aquifer containing confined ground water.
Container means any portable device in which a material is stored,
transported, treated, disposed of, or otherwise handled.
Containment building means a hazardous waste management unit that is
used to store or treat hazardous waste under the provisions of subpart
DD of parts 264 or 265 of this chapter.
Contingency plan means a document setting out an organized, planned,
and coordinated course of action to be followed in case of a fire,
explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous
[[Page 8]]
waste constituents which could threaten human health or the environment.
Corrective action management unit or CAMU means an area within a
facility that is designated by the Regional Administrator under part 264
subpart S, for the purpose of implementing corrective action
requirements under Sec. 264.101 and RCRA section 3008(h). A CAMU shall
only be used for the management of remediation wastes pursuant to
implementing such corrective action requirements at the facility.
Corrosion expert means a person who, by reason of his knowledge of
the physical sciences and the principles of engineering and mathematics,
acquired by a professional education and related practical experience,
is qualified to engage in the practice of corrosion control on buried or
submerged metal piping systems and metal tanks. Such a person must be
certified as being qualified by the National Association of Corrosion
Engineers (NACE) or be a registered professional engineer who has
certification or licensing that includes education and experience in
corrosion control on buried or submerged metal piping systems and metal
tanks.
Designated facility means a hazardous waste treatment, storage, or
disposal facility which (1) has received a permit (or interim status) in
accordance with the requirements of parts 270 and 124 of this chapter,
(2) has received a permit (or interim status) from a State authorized in
accordance with part 271 of this chapter, or (3) is regulated under
Sec. 261.6(c)(2) or subpart F of part 266 of this chapter, and (4) that
has been designated on the manifest by the generator pursuant to
Sec. 260.20. If a waste is destined to a facility in an authorized State
which has not yet obtained authorization to regulate that particular
waste as hazardous, then the designated facility must be a facility
allowed by the receiving State to accept such waste.
Destination facility means a facility that treats, disposes of, or
recycles a particular category of universal waste, except those
management activities described in paragraphs (a) and (c) of
Secs. 273.13 and 273.33 of this chapter. A facility at which a
particular category of universal waste is only accumulated, is not a
destination facility for purposes of managing that category of universal
waste.
Dike means an embankment or ridge of either natural or man-made
materials used to prevent the movement of liquids, sludges, solids, or
other materials.
Discharge or hazardous waste discharge means the accidental or
intentional spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or
dumping of hazardous waste into or on any land or water.
Disposal means the discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling,
leaking, or placing of any solid waste or hazardous waste into or on any
land or water so that such solid waste or hazardous waste or any
constituent thereof may enter the environment or be emitted into the air
or discharged into any waters, including ground waters.
Disposal facility means a facility or part of a facility at which
hazardous waste is intentionally placed into or on any land or water,
and at which waste will remain after closure. The term disposal facility
does not include a corrective action management unit into which
remediation wastes are placed.
Drip pad is an engineered structure consisting of a curbed, free-
draining base, constructed of non-earthen materials and designed to
convey preservative kick-back or drippage from treated wood,
precipitation, and surface water run-on to an associated collection
system at wood preserving plants.
Elementary neutralization unit means a device which:
(1) Is used for neutralizing wastes that are hazardous only because
they exhibit the corrosivity characteristic defined in Sec. 261.22 of
this chapter, or they are listed in subpart D of part 261 of the chapter
only for this reason; and
(2) Meets the definition of tank, tank system, container, transport
vehicle, or vessel in Sec. 260.10 of this chapter.
EPA hazardous waste number means the number assigned by EPA to each
hazardous waste listed in part 261, subpart D, of this chapter and to
each characteristic identified in part 261, subpart C, of this chapter.

either
(2)(i) A continuous on-site, physical construction program has
begun; or
(ii) The owner or operator has entered into contractual
obligations--which cannot be cancelled or modified without substantial
loss--for physical construction of the facility to be completed within a
reasonable time.
Existing portion means that land surface area of an existing waste
management unit, included in the original Part A permit application, on
which wastes have been placed prior to the issuance of a permit.
Existing tank system or existing component means a tank system or
component that is used for the storage or treatment of hazardous waste
and that is in operation, or for which installation has commenced on or
prior to July 14, 1986. Installation will be considered to have
commenced if the owner or operator has obtained all Federal, State, and
local approvals or permits necessary to begin physical construction of
the site or installation of the tank system and if either (1) a
continuous on-site physical construction or installation program has
begun, or (2) the owner or operator has entered into contractual
obligations--which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial
loss--for physical construction of the site or installation of the tank
system to be completed within a reasonable time.
Facility means:

Sec. 260.22 Petitions to amend part 261 to exclude a waste produced at a particular facility.
(a) Any person seeking to exclude a waste at a particular generating
facility from the lists in subpart D of part 261 may petition for a
regulatory amendment under this section and Sec. 260.20. To be
successful:
(1) The petitioner must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that the waste produced by a particular generating
facility does not meet any of the criteria under which the waste was
listed as a hazardous or an actutely hazardous waste; and
(2) Based on a complete application, the Administrator must
determine, where he has a reasonable basis to believe that factors
(including additional constituents) other than those for which the waste
was listed could cause the waste to be a hazardous waste, that such
factors do not warrant retaining the waste as a hazardous waste. A waste
which is so excluded, however, still may be a hazardous waste by
operation of subpart C of part 261.
(b) The procedures in this Section and Sec. 260.20 may also be used
to petition the Administrator for a regulatory amendment to exclude from
Sec. 261.3(a)(2)(ii) or (c), a waste which is described in these
Sections and is either a waste listed in subpart D, or is derived from a
waste listed in subpart D. This exclusion may only be issued for a
particular generating, storage, treatment, or disposal facility. The
petitioner must make the same demonstration as required by paragraph (a)
of this section. Where the waste is a mixture of solid waste and one or
more listed hazardous wastes or is derived from one or more hazardous
wastes, his demonstration must be made with respect to the waste mixture
as a whole; analyses must be conducted for not only those constituents
for which the listed waste contained in the mixture was listed as
hazardous, but also for factors (including additional constituents) that
could cause the waste mixture to be a hazardous waste. A waste which is
so excluded may still be a hazardous waste by operation of subpart C of
part 261.
(c) If the waste is listed with codes ``I'', ``C'', ``R'', or ``E'',
in subpart D,
(1) The petitioner must show that the waste does not exhibit the
relevant characteristic for which the waste was listed as defined in
Sec. 261.21, Sec. 261.22, Sec. 261.23, or Sec. 261.24 using any
applicable methods prescribed therein. The petitioner also must show
that the waste does not exhibit any of the other characteristics defined
in Sec. 261.21, Sec. 261.22, Sec. 261.23, or Sec. 261.24 using any
applicable methods prescribed therein;
(2) Based on a complete application, the Administrator must
determine, where he has a reasonable basis to believe that factors
(including additional constituents) other than those for which the waste
was listed could cause the waste to be hazardous waste, that such
factors do not warrant retaining the waste as a hazardous waste. A waste
which is so excluded, however,
[[Page 20]]
still may be a hazardous waste by operation of subpart C of part 261.
(d) If the waste is listed with code ``T'' in subpart D,
(1) The petitioner must demonstrate that the waste:
(i) Does not contain the constituent or constituents (as defined in
Appendix VII of part 261 of this chapter) that caused the Administrator
to list the waste, using the appropriate test methods prescribed in
``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,''
EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in Sec. 260.11; or
(ii) Although containing one or more of the hazrdous constituents
(as defined in appendix VII of part 261) that caused the Administrator
to list the waste, does not meet the criterion of Sec. 261.11(a)(3) when
considering the factors used by the Administrator in Sec. 261.11(a)(3)
(i) through (xi) under which the waste was listed as hazardous; and
(2) Based on a complete application, the Administrator must
determine, where he has a reasonable basis to believe that factors
(including additional constituents) other than those for which the waste
was listed could cause the waste to be a hazardous waste, that such
factors do not warrant retaining the waste as a hazardous waste; and
(3) The petitioner must demonstrate that the waste does not exhibit
any of the characteristics defined in Sec. 261.21, Sec. 261.22,
Sec. 261.23, and Sec. 261.24 using any applicable methods prescribed
therein;
(4) A waste which is so excluded, however, still may be a hazardous
waste by operation of subpart C of part 261.
(e) If the waste is listed with the code ``H'' in subpart D,
(1) The petitioner must demonstrate that the waste does not meet the
criterion of Sec. 261.11(a)(2); and
(2) Based on a complete application, the Administrator must
determine, where he has a reasonable basis to believe that additional
factors (including additional constituents) other than those for which
the waste was listed could cause the waste to be a hazardous waste, that
such factors do not warrant retaining the waste as a hazardous waste;
and
(3) The petitioner must demonstrate that the waste does not exhibit
any of the characteristics defined in Sec. 261.21, Sec. 261.22,
Sec. 261.23, and Sec. 261.24 using any applicable methods prescribed
therein;
(4) A waste which is so excluded, however, still may be a hazardous
waste by operation of subpart C of part 261.
(f) [Reserved for listing radioactive wastes.]
(g) [Reserved for listing infectious wastes.]
(h) Demonstration samples must consist of enough representative
samples, but in no case less than four samples, taken over a period of
time sufficient to represent the variability or the uniformity of the
waste.
(i) Each petition must include, in addition to the information
required by Sec. 260.20(b):
(1) The name and address of the laboratory facility performing the
sampling or tests of the waste;
(2) The names and qualifications of the persons sampling and testing
the waste;
(3) The dates of sampling and testing;
(4) The location of the generating facility;
(5) A description of the manufacturing processes or other operations
and feed materials producing the waste and an assessment of whether such
processes, operations, or feed materials can or might produce a waste
that is not covered by the demonstration;
(6) A description of the waste and an estimate of the average and
maximum monthly and annual quantities of waste covered by the
demonstration;
(7) Pertinent data on and discussion of the factors delineated in
the respective criterion for listing a hazardous waste, where the
demonstration is based on the factors in Sec. 261.11(a)(3);
(8) A description of the methodologies and equipment used to obtain
the representative samples;
(9) A description of the sample handling and preparation techniques,
including techniques used for extraction, containerization and
preservation of the samples;
(10) A description of the tests performed (including results);
[[Page 21]]
(11) The names and model numbers of the instruments used in
performing the tests; and
(12) The following statement signed by the generator of the waste or
his authorized representative:
I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and
am familiar with the information submitted in this demonstration and all
attached documents, and that, based on my inquiry of those individuals
immediately responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that
the submitted information is true, accurate, and complete. I am aware
that there are significant penalties for submitting false information,
including the possibility of fine and imprisonment.
(j) After receiving a petition for an exclusion, the Administrator
may request any additional information which he may reasonably require
to evaluate the petition.
(k) An exclusion will only apply to the waste generated at the
individual facility covered by the demonstration and will not apply to
waste from any other facility.
(l) The Administrator may exclude only part of the waste for which
the demonstration is submitted where he has reason to believe that
variability of the waste justifies a partial exclusion.

Sec. 260.23 Petitions to amend 40 CFR part 273 to include additional hazardous wastes.
(a) Any person seeking to add a hazardous waste or a category of
hazardous waste to the universal waste regulations of part 273 of this
chapter may petition for a regulatory amendment under this section, 40
CFR 260.20, and subpart G of 40 CFR part 273.
(b) To be successful, the petitioner must demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Administrator that regulation under the universal
waste regulations of 40 CFR part 273: Is appropriate for the waste or
category of waste; will improve management practices for the waste or
category of waste; and will improve implementation of the hazardous
waste program. The petition must include the information required by 40
CFR 260.20(b). The petition should also address as many of the factors
listed in 40 CFR 273.81 as are appropriate for the waste or category of
waste addressed in the petition.
(c) The Administrator will grant or deny a petition using the
factors listed in 40 CFR 273.81. The decision will be based on the
weight of evidence showing that regulation under 40 CFR part 273 is
appropriate for the waste or category of waste, will improve management
practices for the waste or category of waste, and will improve
implementation of the hazardous waste program.
(d) The Administrator may request additional information needed to
evaluate the merits of the petition.

Sec. 260.30 Variances from classification as a solid waste.
In accordance with the standards and criteria in Sec. 260.31 and the
procedures in Sec. 260.33, the Administrator may determine on a case-by-
case basis that the following recycled materials are not solid wastes:
(a) Materials that are accumulated speculatively without sufficient
amounts being recycled (as defined in Sec. 261.1(c)(8) of this chapter);
(b) Materials that are reclaimed and then reused within the original
production process in which they were generated; and
(c) Materials that have been reclaimed but must be reclaimed further
before the materials are completely recovered.

FR 48041, Sept. 19, 1994]
Sec. 260.31 Standards and criteria for variances from classification as a solid waste.
(a) The Administrator may grant requests for a variance from
classifying as a solid waste those materials that are accumulated
speculatively without sufficient amounts being recycled if the applicant
demonstrates that sufficient amounts of the material will be recycled or
transferred for recycling in
[[Page 22]]
the following year. If a variance is granted, it is valid only for the
following year, but can be renewed, on an annual basis, by filing a new
application. The Administrator's decision will be based on the following
criteria:
(1) The manner in which the material is expected to be recycled,
when the material is expected to be recycled, and whether this expected
disposition is likely to occur (for example, because of past practice,
market factors, the nature of the material, or contractual arrangements
for recycling);
(2) The reason that the applicant has accumulated the material for
one or more years without recycling 75 percent of the volume accumulated
at the beginning of the year;
(3) The quantity of material already accumulated and the quantity
expected to be generated and accumulated before the material is
recycled;
(4) The extent to which the material is handled to minimize loss;
(5) Other relevant factors.
(b) The Administrator may grant requests for a variance from
classifying as a solid waste those materials that are reclaimed and then
reused as feedstock within the original production process in which the
materials were generated if the reclamation operation is an essential
part of the production process. This determination will be based on the
following criteria:
(1) How economically viable the production process would be if it
were to use virgin materials, rather than reclaimed materials;
(2) The prevalence of the practice on an industry-wide basis;
(3) The extent to which the material is handled before reclamation
to minimize loss;
(4) The time periods between generating the material and its
reclamation, and between reclamation and return to the original primary
production process;
(5) The location of the reclamation operation in relation to the
production process;
(6) Whether the reclaimed material is used for the purpose for which
it was originally produced when it is returned to the original process,
and whether it is returned to the process in substantially its original
form;
(7) Whether the person who generates the material also reclaims it;
(8) Other relevant factors.
(c) The Regional Administrator may grant requests for a variance
from classifying as a solid waste those materials that have been
reclaimed but must be reclaimed further before recovery is completed if,
after initial reclamation, the resulting material is commodity-like
(even though it is not yet a commercial product, and has to be reclaimed
further). This determination will be based on the following factors:
(1) The degree of processing the material has undergone and the
degree of further processing that is required;
(2) The value of the material after it has been reclaimed;
(3) The degree to which the reclaimed material is like an analogous
raw material;
(4) The extent to which an end market for the reclaimed material is
guaranteed;
(5) The extent to which the reclaimed material is handled to
minimize loss;
(6) Other relevant factors.

Sec. 260.32 Variance to be classified as a boiler.
In accordance with the standards and criteria in Sec. 260.10
(definition of ``boiler''), and the procedures in Sec. 260.33, the
Administrator may determine on a case-by-case basis that certain
enclosed devices using controlled flame combustion are boilers, even
though they do not otherwise meet the definition of boiler contained in
Sec. 260.10, after considering the following criteria:
(a) The extent to which the unit has provisions for recovering and
exporting thermal energy in the form of steam, heated fluids, or heated
gases; and
(b) The extent to which the combustion chamber and energy recovery
equipment are of integral design; and
(c) The efficiency of energy recovery, calculated in terms of the
recovered energy compared with the thermal value of the fuel; and
(d) The extent to which exported energy is utilized; and
(e) The extent to which the device is in common and customary use as
a
[[Page 23]]
``boiler'' functioning primarily to produce steam, heated fluids, or
heated gases; and
(f) Other factors, as appropriate.

Sec. 260.33 Procedures for variances from classification as a solid waste or to be classified as a boiler.
The Administrator will use the following procedures in evaluating
applications for variances from classification as a solid waste or
applications to classify particular enclosed controlled flame combustion
devices as boilers:
(a) The applicant must apply to the Administrator for the variance.
The application must address the relevant criteria contained in
Sec. 260.31 or Sec. 260.32.
(b) The Administrator will evaluate the application and issue a
draft notice tentatively granting or denying the application.
Notification of this tentative decision will be provided by newspaper
advertisement or radio broadcast in the locality where the recycler is
located. The Administrator will accept comment on the tentative decision
for 30 days, and may also hold a public hearing upon request or at his
discretion. The Administrator will issue a final decision after receipt
of comments and after the hearing (if any).

Sec. 260.40 Additional regulation of certain hazardous waste recycling activities on a case-by-case basis.
(a) The Regional Administrator may decide on a case-by-case basis
that persons accumulating or storing the recyclable materials described
in Sec. 261.6(a)(2)(iv) of this chapter should be regulated under
Sec. 261.6 (b) and (c) of this chapter. The basis for this decision is
that the materials are being accumulated or stored in a manner that does
not protect human health and the environment because the materials or
their toxic constituents have not been adequately contained, or because
the materials being accumulated or stored together are incompatible. In
making this decision, the Regional Administrator will consider the
following factors:
(1) The types of materials accumulated or stored and the amounts
accumulated or stored;
(2) The method of accumulation or storage;
(3) The length of time the materials have been accumulated or stored
before being reclaimed;
(4) Whether any contaminants are being released into the
environment, or are likely to be so released; and
(5) Other relevant factors.
(b) [Reserved]
The procedures for this decision are set forth in Sec. 260.41 of this
chapter.
[50 FR 662, Jan. 4, 1985]
Sec. 260.41 Procedures for case-by-case regulation of hazardous waste recycling activities.
The Regional Administrator will use the following procedures when
determining whether to regulate hazardous waste recycling activities
described in Sec. 261.6(a)(2)(iv) under the provisions of Sec. 261.6 (b)
and (c), rather than under the provisions of subpart F of part 266 of
this chapter.
(a) If a generator is accumulating the waste, the Regional
Administrator will issue a notice setting forth the factual basis for
the decision and stating that the person must comply with the applicable
requirements of subparts A, C, D, and E of part 262 of this chapter. The
notice will become final within 30 days, unless the person served
requests a public hearing to challenge the decision. Upon receiving such
a request, the Regional Administrator will hold a public hearing. The
Regional Administrator will provide notice of the hearing to the public
and allow public participation at the hearing. The Regional
Administrator will issue a final order after the hearing stating whether
or not compliance with part 262 is required. The order becomes effective
30 days after service of the decision unless the Regional Administrator
specifies a later date or unless review by the Administrator is
requested. The order may be appealed to the Administrator by any person
who participated in the public hearing. The Administrator may choose to
grant or to deny the appeal. Final Agency action occurs when a final
order is issued and Agency review procedures are exhausted.
[[Page 24]]
(b) If the person is accumulating the recyclable material as a
storage facility, the notice will state that the person must obtain a
permit in accordance with all applicable provisions of parts 270 and 124
of this chapter. The owner or operator of the facility must apply for a
permit within no less than 60 days and no more than six months of
notice, as specified in the notice. If the owner or operator of the
facility wishes to challenge the Regional Administrator's decision, he
may do so in his permit application, in a public hearing held on the
draft permit, or in comments filed on the draft permit or on the notice
of intent to deny the permit. The fact sheet accompanying the permit
will specify the reasons for the Agency's determination. The question of
whether the Regional Administrator's decision was proper will remain
open for consideration during the public comment period discussed under
Sec. 124.11 of this chapter and in any subsequent hearing.

Appendix I to Part 260--Overview of Subtitle C Regulations
The Agency believes that there are many people who suspect, but are
not sure, that their activities are subject to control under the RCRA
Subtitle C rules. This appendix is written for these people. It is
designed to help those who are unfamiliar with the hazardous waste
control program to determine with which, if any, of the regulations they
should comply.
Definition of Solid Waste
The first question which such a person should ask himself is: ``Is
the material I handle a solid waste?'' If the answer to this question is
``No'', then the material is not subject to control under RCRA and,
therefore, the person need not worry about whether he should comply with
the Subtitle C rules.
Section 261.2 of this chapter provides a definition of ``solid
waste'' which expands the statutory definition of that term given in
section 1004(27) of RCRA. This definition is diagrammed in Figure 1
below.
Figure 1 explains that all materials are either: (1) Garbage refuse,
or sludge; (2) solid, liquid, semi-solid or contained gaseous material;
or (3) something else. No materials in the third category are solid
waste. All materials in the first category are solid waste. Materials in
the second category are solid waste unless they are one of the five
exclusions specified in Sec. 261.4(a).
Definition of Hazardous Waste
If a person has determined that his material is a ``solid waste'',
the next question he should ask is: ``Is the solid waste I handle a
hazardous waste?''
Hazardous waste is defined in Sec. 261.3 of this chapter. Section
261.3 provides that, in general, a solid waste is a hazardous waste if:
(1) It is, or contains, a hazardous waste listed in subpart D of part
261 of this chapter, or (2) the waste exhibits any of the
characteristics defined in subpart C of part 261. However, parts 260 and
261 also contain provisions which exclude (Secs. 261.4(b), 260.20, and
260.22) certain solid wastes from the definition of ``hazardous waste'',
even though they are listed in subpart D or exhibit one or more of the
characteristics defined in subpart C. Figure 2 depicts the interplay of
these special provisions with the definition of ``hazardous waste''. It
presents a series of questions which a person should ask himself
concerning his waste. After doing so, the person should be able to
determine if the solid waste he handles is a hazardous waste.
Hazardous Waste Regulations
If this is the case, the person should look at Figure 3. Figure 3
depicts the special provisions specified in the final part 261 rules for
hazardous waste which:
1. Is generated by a small quantity generator
2. Is or is intended to be legitimately and beneficially used, re-used,
recycled, or reclaimed
3. Is a sludge; is listed in part 261, subpart D; or is a mixture
containing a waste listed in part 261, subpart D.
For each of these Groups, Figure 3 indicates with which subtitle C
regulations (if any) the person handling these wastes must comply.
Figure 3 also explains that, if a person handles hazardous waste which
is not included in any one of the above three categories, his waste is
subject to the subtitle C regulations diagrammed in Figure 4.
Figure 4 is a flowchart which identifies the three categories of
activities regulated under the subtitle C rules, and the corresponding
set of rules with which people in each of these categories must comply.
It points out that all people who handle hazardous waste are either: (1)
Generators of hazardous waste, (2) transporters of hazardous waste, (3)
owners or operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal
facilities, or (4) a combination of the above. Figure 4 indicates that
all of these people must notify EPA of their hazardous waste activities
in accordance with the Section 3010 Notification Procedures (see 45 FR
12746 et seq.), and obtain an EPA identification number.
It should be noted that people handling wastes listed in subpart D
of part 261 who have filed, or who intend to file an application to
exempt their waste from regulation
[[Page 25]]
under the subtitle C rules, must also comply with the notification
requirements of section 3010.
If a person generates hazardous waste, Figure 4 indicates that he
must comply with the part 262 rules. If he transports it, he must comply
with the part 263 rules. The standards in both these parts are designed
to ensure, among other things, proper recordkeeping and reporting, the
use of a manifest system to track shipments of hazardous waste, the use
of proper labels and containers, and the delivery of the waste to a
permitted treatment, storage, or disposal facility.
If a person owns or operates a facility which treats, stores, or
disposes of hazardous waste, the standards with which he must comply
depend on a number of factors. First of all, if the owner or operator of
a storage facility is also the person who generates the waste, and the
waste is stored at the facility for less than 90 days for subsequent
shipment off-site, then the person must comply with Sec. 262.34 of the
part 262 rules.
All other owners or operators of treatment, storage, or disposal
facilities must comply with either the part 264 or the part 265 rules.
To determine with which of these sets of rules an owner or operator must
comply, he must find out whether his facility qualifies for interim
status. To qualify, the owner or operator must: (1) Have been treating,
storing, or disposing of the hazardous waste, or commenced facility
construction on or before October 21, 1976, (2) comply with the section
3010 notification requirements, and (3) apply for a permit under part
270 of this chapter.
If the owner or operator has done all of the above, he qualifies for
interim status, and he must comply with the part 265 rules. These rules
contain administrative requirements, monitoring and closure standards,
and an abbreviated set of technical and closure and post-closure cost
estimate requirements. The owner or operator must comply with these
standards until final administrative disposition of his permit
application is made. If a permit is issued to the owner or operator, he
must then comply with the permit which will be based on the part 264
rules.
If the owner or operator has not carried out the above three
requirements, he does not qualify for interim status. Until he is issued
a permit for his facility, the owner or operator must stop waste
management operations (if any) at the facility, and send his hazardous
waste (if any) to a facility whose owner or operator has interim status
or to a storage facility following the part 262 rules.
In order to apply for a permit, the owner or operator must comply
with the procedures specified in part 270 of this chapter.
It should be noted that the Agency will be periodically revising the
rules depicted in Figures 3 and 4. All persons are encouraged to write
to EPA to verify that the regulations which they are reading are up-to-
date. To obtain this verification, contact: Solid Waste Information,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 26 West St. Clair Street,
Cincinnati, Ohio 45268 (513) 684-5362.

Subpart A--General
Sec. 261.1 Purpose and scope.
(a) This part identifies those solid wastes which are subject to
regulation as hazardous wastes under parts 262 through 265, 268, and
parts 270, 271, and 124 of this chapter and which are subject to the
notification requirements of section 3010 of RCRA. In this part:
(1) Subpart A defines the terms ``solid waste'' and ``hazardous
waste'', identifies those wastes which are excluded from regulation
under parts 262 through 266, 268 and 270 and establishes special
management requirements for hazardous waste produced by conditionally
exempt small quantity generators and hazardous waste which is recycled.
(2) Subpart B sets forth the criteria used by EPA to identify
characteristics of hazardous waste and to list particular hazardous
wastes.
(3) Subpart C identifies characteristics of hazardous waste.
(4) Subpart D lists particular hazardous wastes.
(b)(1) The definition of solid waste contained in this part applies
only to wastes that also are hazardous for purposes of the regulations
implementing subtitle C of RCRA. For example, it does not apply to
materials (such as non-hazardous scrap, paper, textiles, or rubber) that
are not otherwise hazardous wastes and that are recycled.
(2) This part identifies only some of the materials which are solid
wastes and hazardous wastes under sections 3007, 3013, and 7003 of RCRA.
A material which is not defined as a solid waste in this part, or is not
a hazardous waste identified or listed in this part, is still a solid
waste and a hazardous waste for purposes of these sections if:
(i) In the case of sections 3007 and 3013, EPA has reason to believe
that the material may be a solid waste within the meaning of section
1004(27) of RCRA and a hazardous waste within the meaning of section
1004(5) of RCRA; or
(ii) In the case of section 7003, the statutory elements are
established.
(c) For the purposes of Secs. 261.2 and 261.6:
(1) A ``spent material'' is any material that has been used and as a
result of contamination can no longer serve the purpose for which it was
produced without processing;
(2) ``Sludge'' has the same meaning used in Sec. 260.10 of this
chapter;
(3) A ``by-product'' is a material that is not one of the primary
products of a production process and is not solely or
[[Page 31]]
separately produced by the production process. Examples are process
residues such as slags or distillation column bottoms. The term does not
include a co-product that is produced for the general public's use and
is ordinarily used in the form it is produced by the process.
(4) A material is ``reclaimed'' if it is processed to recover a
usable product, or if it is regenerated. Examples are recovery of lead
values from spent batteries and regeneration of spent solvents.
(5) A material is ``used or reused'' if it is either:
(i) Employed as an ingredient (including use as an intermediate) in
an industrial process to make a product (for example, distillation
bottoms from one process used as feedstock in another process). However,
a material will not satisfy this condition if distinct components of the
material are recovered as separate end products (as when metals are
recovered from metal-containing secondary materials); or
(ii) Employed in a particular function or application as an
effective substitute for a commercial product (for example, spent pickle
liquor used as phosphorous precipitant and sludge conditioner in
wastewater treatment).
(6) ``Scrap metal'' is bits and pieces of metal parts (e.g.,) bars,
turnings, rods, sheets, wire) or metal pieces that may be combined
together with bolts or soldering (e.g., radiators, scrap automobiles,
railroad box cars), which when worn or superfluous can be recycled.
(7) A material is ``recycled'' if it is used, reused, or reclaimed.
(8) A material is ``accumulated speculatively'' if it is accumulated
before being recycled. A material is not accumulated speculatively,
however, if the person accumulating it can show that the material is
potentially recyclable and has a feasible means of being recycled; and
that--during the calendar year (commencing on January 1)--the amount of
material that is recycled, or transferred to a different site for
recycling, equals at least 75 percent by weight or volume of the amount
of that material accumulated at the beginning of the period. In
calculating the percentage of turnover, the 75 percent requirement is to
be applied to each material of the same type (e.g., slags from a single
smelting process) that is recycled in the same way (i.e., from which the
same material is recovered or that is used in the same way). Materials
accumulating in units that would be exempt from regulation under
Sec. 261.4(c) are not to be included in making the calculation.
(Materials that are already defined as solid wastes also are not to be
included in making the calculation.) Materials are no longer in this
category once they are removed from accumulation for recycling, however.

Sec. 261.2 Definition of solid waste.
(a)(1) A solid waste is any discarded material that is not excluded
by Sec. 261.4(a) or that is not excluded by variance granted under
Secs. 260.30 and 260.31.
(2) A discarded material is any material which is:
(i) Abandoned, as explained in paragraph (b) of this section; or
(ii) Recycled, as explained in paragraph (c) of this section; or
(iii) Considered inherently waste-like, as explained in paragraph
(d) of this section.
(b) Materials are solid waste if they are abandoned by being:
(1) Disposed of; or
(2) Burned or incinerated; or
(3) Accumulated, stored, or treated (but not recycled) before or in
lieu of being abandoned by being disposed of, burned, or incinerated.
(c) Materials are solid wastes if they are recycled--or accumulated,
stored, or treated before recycling--as specified in paragraphs (c)(1)
through (4) of this section.
(1) Used in a manner constituting disposal. (i) Materials noted with
a ``*'' in Column 1 of Table I are solid wastes when they are:
(A) Applied to or placed on the land in a manner that constitutes
disposal; or
(B) Used to produce products that are applied to or placed on the
land or are otherwise contained in products that are applied to or
placed on the land (in
[[Page 32]]
which cases the product itself remains a solid waste).
(ii) However, commercial chemical products listed in Sec. 261.33 are
not solid wastes if they are applied to the land and that is their
ordinary manner of use.
(2) Burning for energy recovery. (i) Materials noted with a ``*'' in
column 2 of Table 1 are solid wastes when they are:
(A) Burned to recover energy;
(B) Used to produce a fuel or are otherwise contained in fuels (in
which cases the fuel itself remains a solid waste).
(ii) However, commercial chemical products listed in Sec. 261.33 are
not solid wastes if they are themselves fuels.
(3) Reclaimed. Materials noted with a ``*'' in column 3 of Table 1
are solid wastes when reclaimed.
(4) Accumulated speculatively. Materials noted with a ``*'' in
column 4 of Table 1 are solid wastes when accumulated speculatively.

(d) Inherently waste-like materials. The following materials are
solid wastes when they are recycled in any manner:
(1) Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021 (unless used as an ingredient to
make a product at the site of generation), F022, F023, F026, and F028.
(2) Secondary materials fed to a halogen acid furnace that exhibit a
characteristic of a hazardous waste or are listed as a hazardous waste
as defined in subparts C or D of this part, except for brominated
material that meets the following criteria:
(i) The material must contain a bromine concentration of at least
45%; and
(ii) The material must contain less than a total of 1% of toxic
organic compounds listed in appendix VIII; and
(iii) The material is processed continually on-site in the halogen
acid furnace via direct conveyance (hard piping).
(3) The Administrator will use the following criteria to add wastes
to that list:
(i)(A) The materials are ordinarily disposed of, burned, or
incinerated; or
(B) The materials contain toxic constituents listed in appendix VIII
of part 261 and these constituents are not ordinarily found in raw
materials or products for which the materials substitute (or are found
in raw materials or products in smaller concentrations) and are not used
or reused during the recycling process; and
(ii) The material may pose a substantial hazard to human health and
the environment when recycled.
(e) Materials that are not solid waste when recycled. (1) Materials
are not solid wastes when they can be shown to be recycled by being:
(i) Used or reused as ingredients in an industrial process to make a
product, provided the materials are not being reclaimed; or
(ii) Used or reused as effective substitutes for commercial
products; or
(iii) Returned to the original process from which they are
generated, without first being reclaimed or land disposed. The material
must be returned as a substitute for feedstock materials. In cases where
the original process to which the material is returned is a secondary
process, the materials must be managed such that there is no placement
on the land.
[[Page 33]]
(2) The following materials are solid wastes, even if the recycling
involves use, reuse, or return to the original process (described in
paragraphs (e)(1) (i) through (iii) of this section):
(i) Materials used in a manner constituting disposal, or used to
produce products that are applied to the land; or
(ii) Materials burned for energy recovery, used to produce a fuel,
or contained in fuels; or
(iii) Materials accumulated speculatively; or
(iv) Materials listed in paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2) of this
section.
(f) Documentation of claims that materials are not solid wastes or
are conditionally exempt from regulation. Respondents in actions to
enforce regulations implementing subtitle C of RCRA who raise a claim
that a certain material is not a solid waste, or is conditionally exempt
from regulation, must demonstrate that there is a known market or
disposition for the material, and that they meet the terms of the
exclusion or exemption. In doing so, they must provide appropriate
documentation (such as contracts showing that a second person uses the
material as an ingredient in a production process) to demonstrate that
the material is not a waste, or is exempt from regulation. In addition,
owners or operators of facilities claiming that they actually are
recycling materials must show that they have the necessary equipment to
do so.

Sec. 261.3 Definition of hazardous waste.
(a) A solid waste, as defined in Sec. 261.2, is a hazardous waste
if:
(1) It is not excluded from regulation as a hazardous waste under
Sec. 261.4(b); and
(2) It meets any of the following criteria:
(i) It exhibits any of the characteristics of hazardous waste
identified in subpart C except that any mixture of a waste from the
extraction, beneficiation, and processing of ores and minerals excluded
under Sec. 261.4(b)(7) and any other solid waste exhibiting a
characteristic of hazardous waste under subpart C of this part only if
it exhibits a characteristic that would not have been exhibited by the
excluded waste alone if such mixture had not occurred or if it continues
to exhibit any of the characteristics exhibited by the non-excluded
wastes prior to mixture. Further, for the purposes of applying the
Toxicity Characteristic to such mixtures, the mixture is also a
hazardous waste if it exceeds the maximum concentration for any
contaminant listed in table I to Sec. 261.24 that would not have been
exceeded by the excluded waste alone if the mixture had not occurred or
if it continues to exceed the maximum concentration for any contaminant
exceeded by the nonexempt waste prior to mixture.
(ii) It is listed in subpart D of this part and has not been
excluded from the lists in subpart D of this part under Secs. 260.20 and
260.22 of this chapter.
(iii) It is a mixture of a solid waste and a hazardous waste that is
listed in subpart D of this part solely because it exhibits one or more
of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in subpart C of
this part, unless the resultant mixture no longer exhibits any
characteristic of hazardous waste identified in subpart C of this part,
or unless the solid waste is excluded from regulation under
Sec. 261.4(b)(7) and the resultant mixture no longer exhibits any
characteristic of hazardous waste identified in subpart C of this part
for which the hazardous waste listed in subpart D of this part was
listed. (However, nonwastewater mixtures are still subject to the
requirements of part 268 of this chapter, even if they no longer exhibit
a characteristic at the point of land disposal).
(iv) It is a mixture of solid waste and one or more hazardous wastes
listed in subpart D of this part and has not been excluded from
paragraph (a)(2) of this section under Secs. 260.20 and 260.22 of this
chapter; however, the following mixtures of solid wastes and hazardous
wastes listed in subpart D of this part are not hazardous wastes (except
by application of paragraph (a)(2) (i) or (ii) of this section) if the
generator can demonstrate that the mixture consists of wastewater the
discharge of which is
[[Page 34]]
subject to regulation under either section 402 or section 307(b) of the
Clean Water Act (including wastewater at facilities which have
eliminated the discharge of wastewater) and:
(A) One or more of the following solvents listed in Sec. 261.31--
carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene--Provided,
That the maximum total weekly usage of these solvents (other than the
amounts that can be demonstrated not to be discharged to wastewater)
divided by the average weekly flow of wastewater into the headworks of
the facility's wastewater treatment or pretreatment system does not
exceed 1 part per million; or
(B) One or more of the following spent solvents listed in
Sec. 261.31--methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, chlorobenzene,
o-dichlorobenzene, cresols, cresylic acid, nitrobenzene, toluene, methyl
ethyl ketone, carbon disulfide, isobutanol, pyridine, spent
chlorofluorocarbon solvents--provided that the maximum total weekly
usage of these solvents (other than the amounts that can be demonstrated
not to be discharged to wastewater) divided by the average weekly flow
of wastewater into the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment
or pretreatment system does not exceed 25 parts per million; or
(C) One of the following wastes listed in Sec. 261.32--heat
exchanger bundle cleaning sludge from the petroleum refining industry
(EPA Hazardous Waste No. K050); or
(D) A discarded commercial chemical product, or chemical
intermediate listed in Sec. 261.33, arising from de minimis losses of
these materials from manufacturing operations in which these materials
are used as raw materials or are produced in the manufacturing process.
For purposes of this paragraph (a)(2)(iv)(D), ``de minimis'' losses
include those from normal material handling operations (e.g., spills
from the unloading or transfer of materials from bins or other
containers, leaks from pipes, valves or other devices used to transfer
materials); minor leaks of process equipment, storage tanks or
containers; leaks from well maintained pump packings and seals; sample
purgings; relief device discharges; discharges from safety showers and
rinsing and cleaning of personal safety equipment; and rinstate from
empty containers or from containers that are rendered empty by that
rinsing; or
(E) Wastewater resulting from laboratory operations containing toxic
(T) wastes listed in subpart D of this part, Provided, That the
annualized average flow of laboratory wastewater does not exceed one
percent of total wastewater flow into the headworks of the facility's
wastewater treatment or pre-treatment system or provided the wastes,
combined annualized average concentration does not exceed one part per
million in the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment or pre-
treatment facility. Toxic (T) wastes used in laboratories that are
demonstrated not to be discharged to wastewater are not to be included
in this calculation; or
(F) One or more of the following wastes listed in Sec. 261.32--
wastewaters from the production of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes (EPA
Hazardous Waste No. K157)--Provided that the maximum weekly usage of
formaldehyde, methyl chloride, methylene chloride, and triethylamine
(including all amounts that can not be demonstrated to be reacted in the
process, destroyed through treatment, or is recovered, i.e., what is
discharged or volatilized) divided by the average weekly flow of process
wastewater prior to any dilutions into the headworks of the facility's
wastewater treatment system does not exceed a total of 5 parts per
million by weight; or
(G) Wastewaters derived from the treatment of one or more of the
following wastes listed in Sec. 261.32--organic waste (including heavy
ends, still bottoms, light ends, spent solvents, filtrates, and
decantates) from the production of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes (EPA
Hazardous Waste No. K156).--Provided, that the maximum concentration of
formaldehyde, methyl chloride, methylene chloride, and triethylamine
prior to any dilutions into the headworks of the facility's wastewater
treatment system does not exceed a total of 5 milligrams per liter.
(v) Rebuttable presumption for used oil. Used oil containing more
than 1000 ppm
[[Page 35]]
total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been
mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in subpart D of part 261
of this chapter. Persons may rebut this presumption by demonstrating
that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for example, by
using an analytical method from SW-846, Third Edition, to show that the
used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated
hazardous constituents listed in appendix VIII of part 261 of this
chapter). EPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available for the
cost of $110.00 from the Government Printing Office, Superintendent of
Documents, PO Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954. 202-512-1800
(document number 955-001-00000-1).
(A) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/
fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through
a tolling agreement, to reclaim metalworking oils/fluids. The
presumption does apply to metalworking oils/fluids if such oils/fluids
are recycled in any other manner, or disposed.
(B) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils
contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration
units where the CFCs are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable
presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have
been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.
(b) A solid waste which is not excluded from regulation under
paragraph (a)(1) of this section becomes a hazardous waste when any of
the following events occur:
(1) In the case of a waste listed in subpart D of this part, when
the waste first meets the listing description set forth in subpart D of
this part.
(2) In the case of a mixture of solid waste and one or more listed
hazardous wastes, when a hazardous waste listed in subpart D is first
added to the solid waste.
(3) In the case of any other waste (including a waste mixture), when
the waste exhibits any of the characteristics identified in subpart C of
this part.
(c) Unless and until it meets the criteria of paragraph (d) of this
section:
(1) A hazardous waste will remain a hazardous waste.
(2)(i) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this
section, any solid waste generated from the treatment, storage, or
disposal of a hazardous waste, including any sludge, spill residue, ash,
emission control dust, or leachate (but not including precipitation run-
off) is a hazardous waste. (However, materials that are reclaimed from
solid wastes and that are used beneficially are not solid wastes and
hence are not hazardous wastes under this provision unless the reclaimed
material is burned for energy recovery or used in a manner constituting
disposal.)
(ii) The following solid wastes are not hazardous even though they
are generated from the treatment, storage, or disposal of a hazardous
waste, unless they exhibit one or more of the characteristics of
hazardous waste:
(A) Waste pickle liquor sludge generated by lime stabilization of
spent pickle liquor from the iron and steel industry (SIC Codes 331 and
332).
(B) Waste from burning any of the materials exempted from regulation
by Sec. 261.6(a)(3)(iv) through (vi).
(C)(1) Nonwastewater residues, such as slag, resulting from high
temperature metals recovery (HTMR) processing of K061, K062 or F006
waste, in units identified as rotary kilns, flame reactors, electric
furnaces, plasma arc furnaces, slag reactors, rotary hearth furnace/
electric furnace combinations or industrial furnaces (as defined in
paragraphs (6), (7), and (13) of the definition for ``Industrial
furnace'' in 40 CFR 260.10), that are disposed in subtitle D units,
provided that these residues meet the generic exclusion levels
identified in the tables in this paragraph for all constituents, and
exhibit no characteristics of hazardous waste. Testing requirements must
be incorporated in a facility's waste analysis plan or a generator's
self-implementing waste analysis plan; at a minimum, composite samples
of residues must be collected and analyzed quarterly and/or when the
process or operation generating the waste changes. Persons claiming this
exclusion in an enforcement action will have the burden of proving by
clear and convincing evidence that
[[Page 36]]
the material meets all of the exclusion requirements.

(2) A one-time notification and certification must be placed in the
facility's files and sent to the EPA region or authorized state for
K061, K062 or F006 HTMR residues that meet the generic exclusion levels
for all constituents and do not exhibit any characteristics that are
sent to subtitle D units. The notification and certification that is
placed in the generators or treaters files must be updated if the
process or operation generating the waste changes and/or if the subtitle
D unit receiving the waste changes. However, the generator or treater
need only notify the EPA region or an authorized state on an annual
basis if such changes occur. Such notification and certification should
be sent to the EPA region or authorized state by the end of the calendar
year, but no later than December 31. The notification must include the
following information: The name and address of the subtitle D unit
receiving the waste shipments; the EPA Hazardous Waste Number(s) and
treatability group(s) at the initial point of generation; and, the
treatment standards applicable to the waste at the initial point of
generation. The certification must be signed by an authorized
representative and must state as follows: ``I certify under penalty of
law that the generic exclusion levels for all constituents have been met
without impermissible dilution and that no characteristic of hazardous
waste is exhibited. I am aware that there are significant penalties for
submitting a false certification, including the possibility of fine and
imprisonment.''
(D) Biological treatment sludge from the treatment of one of the
following wastes listed in Sec. 261.32--organic waste (including heavy
ends, still bottoms, light ends, spent solvents, filtrates, and
decantates) from the production of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes (EPA
Hazardous Waste No. K156), and wastewaters from the production of
carbamates and carbamoyl oximes (EPA Hazardous Waste No. K157).
(d) Any solid waste described in paragraph (c) of this section is
not a hazardous waste if it meets the following criteria:
(1) In the case of any solid waste, it does not exhibit any of the
characteristics of hazardous waste identified in subpart C of this part.
(However, wastes that exhibit a characteristic at the point of
generation may still be subject to the requirements of part 268, even if
they no longer exhibit a characteristic at the point of land disposal.)
(2) In the case of a waste which is a listed waste under subpart D
of this part, contains a waste listed under subpart D of this part or is
derived from a waste listed in subpart D of this part, it also has been
excluded from paragraph (c) of this section under Secs. 260.20 and
260.22 of this chapter.
(e) [Reserved]
(f) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section and
provided the debris as defined in part 268 of this chapter does not
exhibit a characteristic identified at subpart C of this part, the
following materials are not subject to regulation under 40 CFR parts
260, 261 to 266, 268, or 270:
(1) Hazardous debris as defined in part 268 of this chapter that has
been
[[Page 37]]
treated using one of the required extraction or destruction technologies
specified in Table 1 of Sec. 268.45 of this chapter; persons claiming
this exclusion in an enforcement action will have the burden of proving
by clear and convincing evidence that the material meets all of the

or, if sent to a designated facility, the name of the facility and the
EPA identification number.
(8) The facility keeps, on-site, a copy of the treatability study
contract and all shipping papers associated with the transport of
treatability study samples to and from the facility for a period ending
3 years from the completion date of each treatability study.
(9) The facility prepares and submits a report to the Regional
Administrator, or State Director (if located in an authorized State), by
March 15 of each year that estimates the number of studies and the
amount of waste expected to be used in treatability studies during the
current year, and includes the following information for the previous
calendar year:
(i) The name, address, and EPA identification number of the facility
conducting the treatability studies;
(ii) The types (by process) of treatability studies conducted;
(iii) The names and addresses of persons for whom studies have been
conducted (including their EPA identification numbers);
(iv) The total quantity of waste in storage each day;
(v) The quantity and types of waste subjected to treatability
studies;
(vi) When each treatability study was conducted;
(vii) The final disposition of residues and unused sample from each
treatability study.
(10) The facility determines whether any unused sample or residues
generated by the treatability study are hazardous waste under Sec. 261.3
and, if so, are subject to parts 261 through 268, and part 270 of this
chapter, unless the residues and unused samples are returned to the
sample originator under the Sec. 261.4(e) exemption.

Subpart B--Criteria for Identifying the Characteristics of Hazardous
Waste and for Listing Hazardous Waste
Sec. 261.10 Criteria for identifying the characteristics of hazardous waste.
(a) The Administrator shall identify and define a characteristic of
hazardous waste in subpart C only upon determining that:
(1) A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic may:
(i) Cause, or significantly contribute to, an increase in mortality
or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible,
illness; or
(ii) Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health
or the environment when it is improperly treated, stored, transported,
disposed of or otherwise managed; and
(2) The characteristic can be:
(i) Measured by an available standardized test method which is
reasonably within the capability of generators of solid waste or private
sector laboratories that are available to serve generators of solid
waste; or
[[Page 50]]
(ii) Reasonably detected by generators of solid waste through their
knowledge of their waste.
Sec. 261.11 Criteria for listing hazardous waste.
(a) The Administrator shall list a solid waste as a hazardous waste
only upon determining that the solid waste meets one of the following
criteria:
(1) It exhibits any of the characteristics of hazardous waste
identified in subpart C.
(2) It has been found to be fatal to humans in low doses or, in the
absence of data on human toxicity, it has been shown in studies to have
an oral LD 50 toxicity (rat) of less than 50 milligrams per kilogram, an
inhalation LC 50 toxicity (rat) of less than 2 milligrams per liter, or
a dermal LD 50 toxicity (rabbit) of less than 200 milligrams per
kilogram or is otherwise capable of causing or significantly
contributing to an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating
reversible, illness. (Waste listed in accordance with these criteria
will be designated Acute Hazardous Waste.)
(3) It contains any of the toxic constituents listed in appendix
VIII and, after considering the following factors, the Administrator
concludes that the waste is capable of posing a substantial present or
potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly
treated, stored, transported or disposed of, or otherwise managed:
(i) The nature of the toxicity presented by the constituent.
(ii) The concentration of the constituent in the waste.
(iii) The potential of the constituent or any toxic degradation
product of the constituent to migrate from the waste into the
environment under the types of improper management considered in
paragraph (a)(3)(vii) of this section.
(iv) The persistence of the constituent or any toxic degradation
product of the constituent.
(v) The potential for the constituent or any toxic degradation
product of the constituent to degrade into non-harmful constituents and
the rate of degradation.
(vi) The degree to which the constituent or any degradation product
of the constituent bioaccumulates in ecosystems.
(vii) The plausible types of improper management to which the waste
could be subjected.
(viii) The quantities of the waste generated at individual
generation sites or on a regional or national basis.
(ix) The nature and severity of the human health and environmental
damage that has occurred as a result of the improper management of
wastes containing the constituent.
(x) Action taken by other governmental agencies or regulatory
programs based on the health or environmental hazard posed by the waste
or waste constituent.
(xi) Such other factors as may be appropriate.
Substances will be listed on appendix VIII only if they have been shown
in scientific studies to have toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic or
teratogenic effects on humans or other life forms.
(Wastes listed in accordance with these criteria will be designated
Toxic wastes.)
(b) The Administrator may list classes or types of solid waste as
hazardous waste if he has reason to believe that individual wastes,
within the class or type of waste, typically or frequently are hazardous
under the definition of hazardous waste found in section 1004(5) of the
Act.
(c) The Administrator will use the criteria for listing specified in

Sec. 261.20 General.
(a) A solid waste, as defined in Sec. 261.2, which is not excluded
from regulation as a hazardous waste under Sec. 261.4(b), is a hazardous
waste if it exhibits any of the characteristics identified in this
subpart.
[Comment: Sec. 262.11 of this chapter sets forth the generator's
responsibility to determine whether his waste exhibits one or more of
the characteristics identified in this subpart]
[[Page 51]]
(b) A hazardous waste which is identified by a characteristic in
this subpart is assigned every EPA Hazardous Waste Number that is
applicable as set forth in this subpart. This number must be used in
complying with the notification requirements of section 3010 of the Act
and all applicable recordkeeping and reporting requirements under parts
262 through 265, 268, and 270 of this chapter.
(c) For purposes of this subpart, the Administrator will consider a
sample obtained using any of the applicable sampling methods specified
in appendix I to be a representative sample within the meaning of part
260 of this chapter.
[Comment: Since the appendix I sampling methods are not being formally
adopted by the Administrator, a person who desires to employ an
alternative sampling method is not required to demonstrate the
equivalency of his method under the procedures set forth in Secs. 260.20
and 260.21.]

Editorial Note: For Federal Register citations affecting
Sec. 261.32, see the List of CFR Sections Affected in the Finding Aids
section of this volume.
Sec. 261.33 Discarded commercial chemical products, off-specification species, container residues, and spill residues thereof.
The following materials or items are hazardous wastes if and when
they are discarded or intended to be discarded as described in
Sec. 261.2(a)(2)(i), when they are mixed with waste oil or used oil or
other material and applied to the land for dust suppression or road
treatment, when they are otherwise applied to the land in lieu of their
original intended use or when they are contained in products that are
applied to the land in lieu of their original intended use, or when, in
lieu of their original intended use, they are produced for use as (or as
a component of) a fuel, distributed for use as a fuel, or burned as a
fuel.
(a) Any commercial chemical product, or manufacturing chemical
intermediate having the generic name listed in paragraph (e) or (f) of
this section.
(b) Any off-specification commercial chemical product or
manufacturing chemical intermediate which, if it met specifications,
would have the generic name listed in paragraph (e) or (f) of this
section.
(c) Any residue remaining in a container or in an inner liner
removed from a container that has held any commercial chemical product
or manufacturing chemical intermediate having the generic name listed in
paragraphs (e) or (f) of this section, unless the container is empty as
defined in Sec. 261.7(b) of this chapter.
[Comment: Unless the residue is being beneficially used or reused, or
legitimately recycled or reclaimed; or being accumulated, stored,
transported or treated prior to such use, re-use, recycling or
reclamation, EPA considers the residue to be intended for discard, and
thus, a hazardous waste. An example of a legitimate re-use of the
residue would be where the residue remains in the container and the
container is used to hold the same commercial chemical product or
manufacturing chemical intermediate it previously held. An example of
the discard of the residue would be where the drum is sent to a drum
reconditioner who reconditions the drum but discards the residue.]
(d) Any residue or contaminated soil, water or other debris
resulting from the cleanup of a spill into or on any land or water of
any commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate
having the generic name listed in paragraph (e) or (f) of this section,
or any residue or contaminated soil, water or other debris resulting
from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any off-
specification chemical product and manufacturing chemical intermediate
which, if it met specifications, would
[[Page 60]]
have the generic name listed in paragraph (e) or (f) of this section.
[Comment: The phrase ``commercial chemical product or manufacturing
chemical intermediate having the generic name listed in . . .'' refers
to a chemical substance which is manufactured or formulated for
commercial or manufacturing use which consists of the commercially pure
grade of the chemical, any technical grades of the chemical that are
produced or marketed, and all formulations in which the chemical is the
sole active ingredient. It does not refer to a material, such as a
manufacturing process waste, that contains any of the substances listed
in paragraph (e) or (f). Where a manufacturing process waste is deemed
to be a hazardous waste because it contains a substance listed in
paragraph (e) or (f), such waste will be listed in either Sec. 261.31 or
Sec. 261.32 or will be identified as a hazardous waste by the
characteristics set forth in subpart C of this part.]
(e) The commercial chemical products, manufacturing chemical
intermediates or off-specification commercial chemical products or
manufacturing chemical intermediates referred to in paragraphs (a)
through (d) of this section, are identified as acute hazardous wastes
(H) and are subject to be the small quantity exclusion defined in
Sec. 261.5(e).
[Comment: For the convenience of the regulated community the primary
hazardous properties of these materials have been indicated by the
letters T (Toxicity), and R (Reactivity). Absence of a letter indicates
that the compound only is listed for acute toxicity.]

Editorial Note: For Federal Register citations affecting
Sec. 261.33, see the List of CFR Sections Affected in the Finding Aids
section of this volume.
Sec. 261.35 Deletion of certain hazardous waste codes following equipment cleaning and replacement.
(a) Wastes from wood preserving processes at plants that do not
resume or initiate use of chlorophenolic preservatives will not meet the
listing definition of F032 once the generator has met all of the
requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section. These wastes
may, however, continue to meet another hazardous waste listing
description or may exhibit one or more of the hazardous waste
characteristics.
(b) Generators must either clean or replace all process equipment
that may have come into contact with chlorophenolic formulations or
constituents thereof, including, but not limited to, treatment
cylinders, sumps, tanks, piping systems, drip pads, fork lifts, and
trams, in a manner that minimizes or eliminates the escape of hazardous
waste or constituents, leachate, contaminated drippage, or hazardous
waste decomposition products to the ground water, surface water, or
atmosphere.
(1) Generators shall do one of the following:
(i) Prepare and follow an equipment cleaning plan and clean
equipment in accordance with this section;
(ii) Prepare and follow an equipment replacement plan and replace
equipment in accordance with this section; or
(iii) Document cleaning and replacement in accordance with this
section, carried out after termination of use of chlorophenolic
preservations.
(2) Cleaning Requirements.
(i) Prepare and sign a written equipment cleaning plan that
describes:
(A) The equipment to be cleaned;
(B) How the equipment will be cleaned;
(C) The solvent to be used in cleaning;
(D) How solvent rinses will be tested; and
(E) How cleaning residues will be disposed.
(ii) Equipment must be cleaned as follows:
(A) Remove all visible residues from process equipment;
(B) Rinse process equipment with an appropriate solvent until
dioxins and dibenzofurans are not detected in the final solvent rinse.
(iii) Analytical requirements.
(A) Rinses must be tested in accordance with SW-846, Method 8290.
(B) ``Not detected'' means at or below the lower method calibration
limit (MCL) in Method 8290, Table 1.
(iv) The generator must manage all residues from the cleaning
process as F032 waste.
(3) Replacement requirements.
(i) Prepare and sign a written equipment replacement plan that
describes:
(A) The equipment to be replaced;
(B) How the equipment will be replaced; and
(C) How the equipment will be disposed.
(ii) The generator must manage the discarded equipment as F032
waste.
(4) Documentation requirements.
(i) Document that previous equipment cleaning and/or replacement was
performed in accordance with this section and occurred after cessation
of use of chlorophenolic preservatives.
(c) The generator must maintain the following records documenting
the cleaning and replacement as part of the facility's operating record:
(1) The name and address of the facility;
(2) Formulations previously used and the date on which their use
ceased in each process at the plant;
(3) Formulations currently used in each process at the plant;
(4) The equipment cleaning or replacement plan;
(5) The name and address of any persons who conducted the cleaning
and replacement;
(6) The dates on which cleaning and replacement were accomplished;
(7) The dates of sampling and testing;
[[Page 73]]
(8) A description of the sample handling and preparation techniques,
including techniques used for extraction, containerization,
preservation, and chain-of-custody of the samples;
(9) A description of the tests performed, the date the tests were
performed, and the results of the tests;
(10) The name and model numbers of the instrument(s) used in
performing the tests;
(11) QA/QC documentation; and
(12) The following statement signed by the generator or his
authorized representative:
I certify under penalty of law that all process equipment required
to be cleaned or replaced under 40 CFR 261.35 was cleaned or replaced as
represented in the equipment cleaning and replacement plan and
accompanying documentation. I am aware that there are significant
penalties for providing false information, including the possibility of
fine or imprisonment.

Ampex Recording Opelika, Alabama. Solvent recovery residues in the
Media powder or pellet form (EPA
Corporation. Hazardous Waste Nos. F003 and
F005) generated from the recovery
of spent solvents from the
manufacture of tape recording
media (generated at a maximum
annual rate of 1,000 cubic yards
in the powder or pellet form)
after August 9, 1993. In order to
confirm that the characteristics
of the wastes do not change
significantly, the facility must,
on an annual basis, analyze a
representative composite sample
of the waste (in its final form)
for the constituents listed in 40
CFR 261.24 using the method
specified therein. The annual
analytical results, including
quality control information, must
be compiled, certified according
to 40 CFR 260.22(i)(12),
maintained on-site for a minimum
of five years, and made available
for inspection upon request by
any employee or representative of
EPA or the State of Alabama.
Failure to maintain the required
records on-site will be
considered by EPA, at its
discretion, sufficient basis to
revoke the exclusion to the
extent directed by EPA.
Aptus, Inc....... Coffeyville, Kiln residue and spray dryer/
Kansas. baghouse residue (EPA Hazardous
Waste No. F027) generated during
the treatment of cancelled
pesticides containing 2,4,5-T and
Silvex and related materials by
Aptus' incinerator at
Coffeyville, Kansas after
December 27, 1991, so long as:
(1) The incinerator is monitored
continuously and is in compliance
with operating permit conditions.
Should the incinerator fail to
comply with the permit conditions
relevant to the mechanical
operation of the incinerator,
Aptus must test the residues
generated during the run when the
failure occurred according to the
requirements of Conditions (2)
through (4), regardless of
whether or not the demonstration
in Condition (5) has been made.
(2) A minimum of four grab samples
must be taken from each hopper
(or other container) of kiln
residue generated during each 24
hour run; all grabs collected
during a given 24 hour run must
then be composited to form one
composite sample. A minimum of
four grab samples must also be
taken from each hopper (or other
container) of spray dryer/
baghouse residue generated during
each 24 hour run; all grabs
collected during a given 24 hour
run must then be composited to
form one composite sample. Prior
to the disposal of the residues
from each 24 hour run, a TCLP
leachate test must be performed
on these composite samples and
the leachate analyzed for the TC
toxic metals, nickel, and
cyanide. If arsenic, chromium,
lead or silver TC leachate test
results exceed 1.6 ppm, barium
levels exceed 32 ppm, cadmium or
selenium levels exceed 0.3 ppm,
mercury levels exceed 0.07 ppm,
nickel levels exceed 10 ppm, or
cyanide levels exceed 6.5 ppm,
the wastes must be retreated to
achieve these levels or must be
disposed in accordance with
subtitle C of RCRA. Analyses must
be performed according to SW-846
methodologies.
(3) Aptus must generate, prior to
the disposal of the residues,
verification data from each 24
hour run for each treatment
residue (i.e., kiln residue,
spray dryer/baghouse residue) to
demonstrate that the maximum
allowable treatment residue
concentrations listed below are
not exceeded. Samples must be
collected as specified in
Condition (2). Analyses must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. Any residues which
exceed any of the levels listed
below must be retreated or must
be disposed of as hazardous.
Kiln residue and spray dryer/
baghouse residue must not exceed
the following levels:

ppm
Tetrachloroethylene--59 ppm
2,4,5-TP (silvex)--110 ppm
2,4,6-Trichlorophenol--3.9 ppm
[[Page 87]]
(4) Aptus must generate, prior to
disposal of residues,
verification data from each 24
hour run for each treatment
residue (i.e., kiln residue,
spray dryer/baghouse residue) to
demonstrate that the residues do
not contain tetra-, penta-, or
hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins or
furans at levels of regulatory
concern. Samples must be
collected as specified in
Condition (2). The TCDD
equivalent levels for the solid
residues must be less than 5 ppt.
Any residues with detected
dioxins or furans in excess of
this level must be retreated or
must be disposed of as acutely
hazardous. SW-846 Method 8290, a
high resolution gas
chromatography and high
resolution mass spectroscopy
(HRGC/HRMS) analytical method
must be used. For tetra- and
penta-chlorinated dioxin and
furan homologs, the maximum
practical quantitation limit must
not exceed 15 ppt for the solid
residues. For hexachlorinated
dioxin and furan homologs, the
maximum practical quantitation
limit must not exceed 37 ppt for
the solid residues.
(5) The test data from Conditions
(1), (2), (3), and (4) must be
kept on file by Aptus for
inspection purposes and must be
compiled, summarized, and
submitted to the Director for the
Characterization and Assessment
Division, Office of Solid Waste,
by certified mail on a monthly
basis and when the treatment of
the cancelled pesticides and
related materials is concluded.
The testing requirements for
Conditions (2), (3), and (4) will
continue until Aptus provides the
Director with the results of four
consecutive batch analyses for
the petitioned wastes, none of
which exceed the maximum
allowable levels listed in these
conditions and the director
notifies Aptus that the
conditions have been lifted. All
data submitted will be placed in
the RCRA public docket.

Department of site, chloride salts from incineration
Pollution Jacksonville, of residues (EPA Hazardous Waste
Control and Arkansas. No. F020 and F023) generated from
Ecology. the primary production of 2,4,5-T
and 2,4-D after August 24, 1990.
This one-time exclusion applies
only to the incineration of the
waste materials described in the
petition, and it is conditional
upon the data obtained from
ADPC&E's full-scale incineration
facility. To ensure that
hazardous constituents are not
present in the waste at levels of
regulatory concern once the full-
scale treatment facility is in
operation, ADPC&E must implement
a testing program for the
petitioned waste. This testing
program must meet the following
conditions for the exclusion to
be valid:
(1) Testing: Sample collection
and analyses (including
quality control (QC)
procedures) must be performed
according to SW-846
methodologies.
(A) Initial testing:
Representative grab samples
must be taken from each drum
and kiln ash and cyclone ash
generated from each 24 hours
of operation, and the grab
samples composited to form
one composite sample of ash
for each 24-hour period.
Representative grab samples
must also be taken from each
drum of calcium chloride
salts generated from each 24
hours of operation and
composited to form one
composite sample of calcium
chloride salts for each 24-
hour period. The initial
testing requirements must be
fullfilled for the following
wastes: (i) Incineration by-
products generated prior to
and during the incinerator's
trial burn; (ii)
incineration by-products
from the treatment of 2,4-D
wastes for one week (or 7
days if incineration is not
on consecutive days) after
completion of the trial
burn; (iii) incineration by-
products from the treatment
of blended 2,4-D and 2,4, 5-
T wastes for two weeks (or
14 days if incineration is
not on consecutive days)
after completion of the
trial burn; and (iv)
incineration by-products
from the treatment of
blended 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T
wastes for one week (or 7
days if incineration is not
on consecutive days) when
the percentage of 2, 4, 5-T
wastes exceeds the maximum
percentage treated under
Condition (1)(A)(iii). Prior
to disposal of the residues
from each 24-hour sampling
period, the daily composite
must be analyzed for all the
constituents listed in
Condition (3). ADPC&E must
report the analytical test
data, including quality
control information,
obtained during this initial
period no later than 90 days
after the start of the
operation.
(B) Subsequent testing:
Representative grab samples
of each drum of kiln and
cyclone ash generated from
each week of operation must
be composited to form one
composite sample of ash for
each weekly period.
Representative grab samples
of each drum of calcium
chloride salts generated
from each week of operation
must also be composited to
form one composite sample of
calcium chloride salts for
each weekly period.
[[Page 88]]
Prior to disposal of the
residues from each weekly
sampling period, the weekly
composites must be analyzed
for all of the constituents
listed in Condition (3). The
analytical data, including
quality control information,
must be compiled and
maintained on site for a
minimum of three years.
These data must be furnished
upon request and made
available for inspection by
any employee or
representative of EPA.
(2) Waste holding: The
incineration residues that are
generated must be stored as
hazardous until the initial
verification analyses or
subsequent analyses are
completed.
If the composite incineration
residue samples (from either
Condition (1)(A) or Condition
(1)(B)) do not exceed any of
the delisting levels set in
Condition (3), the
incineration residues
corresponding to these samples
may be managed and disposed of
in accordance with all
applicable solid waste
regulations.
If any composite incineration
residue sample exceeds any of
the delisting levels set in
Condition (3), the
incineration residues
generated during the time
period corresponding to this
sample must be retreated until
they meet these levels
(analyses must be repeated) or
managed and disposed of in
accordance with subtitle C of
RCRA. Incineration residues
which are generated but for
which analysis is not complete
or valid must be managed and
disposed of in accordance with
subtitle C of RCRA, until
valid analyses demonstrate
that the wastes meet the
delisting levels.
(3) Delisting levels: If
concentrations in one or more
of the incineration residues
for any of the hazardous
constituents listed below
exceed their respective
maximum allowable
concentrations also listed
below, the batch of failing
waste must either be re-
treated until it meets these
levels or managed and disposed
of in accordance with subtitle
C of RCRA.

(C) Chlorinated dioxins and
furans: 2,3,7,8-
Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin
equivalents, 4 x 10-7 ppm.
The petitioned by-product
must be analyzed for the
tetra-, penta-, hexa-, and
heptachlorodibenzo-p-
dioxins, and the tetra-,
penta-, hexa-, and
heptachlorodibenzofurans to
determine the 2, 3, 7, 8-
tetra- chlorodibenzo-p-
dioxin equivalent
concentration. The analysis
must be conducted using
Method 8290, a high
resolution gas
chromatography/high
resolution mass spectrometry
method, and must achieve
practical quantitation
limits of 15 parts per
trillion (ppt) for the tetra-
and penta- homologs, and 37
ppt for the hexa- and hepta-
homologs.
(4) Termination of testing: Due
to the possible variability of
the incinerator feeds, the
testing requirements of
Condition (1)(B) will continue
indefinitely.
(5) Data submittals: Within one
week of system start-up,
ADPC&E must notify the Section
Chief, Variances Section (see
address below) when the full-
scale incineration system is
on-line and waste treatment
has begun. The data obtained
through Condition (1)(A) must
be submitted to the Section
Chief, Variances Section, PSPD/
OSW (OS-343), U.S. EPA, 401 M

20460, within the time period
specified. At the Section
Chief's request, ADPC&E must
submit analytical data
obtained through Condition
(1)(B) within the time period
specified by the Section
Chief. Failure to submit the
required data obtained from
Condition (1)(A) within the
specified time period or to
maintain the required records
for the time specified in
Condition (1)(B) (or to submit
data within the time specified
by the Section Chief) will be
considered by the Agency, at
its discretion, sufficient
basis to revoke ADPC&E's
exclusion to the extent
directed by EPA. All data must
be accompanied by the

Bethlehem Steel Lackawanna, New Ammonia still lime sludge (EPA
Corporation. York. Hazardous Waste No. K060) and
other solid waste generated from
primary metal-making and coking
operations. This is a one-time
exclusion for 118,000 cubic yards
of waste contained in the on-site
landfill referred to as HWM-2.
This exclusion was published on
April 24, 1996.
Bethlehem Steel Sparrows Point, Stabilized filter cake (at a
Corporation. Maryland. maximum annual rate of 1100 cubic
yards) from the treatment of
wastewater treatment sludges (EPA
Hazardous Waste No. F006)
generated from electroplating
operations after [insert date of
publication in Federal Register].
Bethlehem Steel (BSC) must
implement a testing program that
meets the following conditions
for the exclusion to be valid:
(1) Testing: Sample collection
and analyses (including quality
control (QC) procedures) must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. If EPA judges the
stabilization process to be
effective under the conditions
used during the initial
verification testing, BSC may
replace the testing required in
Condition (1)(A) with the testing
required in Condition (1)(B). BSC
must continue to test as
specified in Condition (1)(A)
until and unless notified by EPA
in writing that testing in
Condition (1)(A) may be replaced
by Condition (1)(B) (to the
extent directed by EPA).
(A) Initial Verification
Testing: During at least the
first eight weeks of operation of
the full-scale treatment system,
BSC must collect and analyze
weekly composites representative
of the stabilized waste. Weekly
composites must be composed of
representative grab samples
collected from every batch during
each week of stabilization. The
composite samples must be
collected and analyzed, prior to
the disposal of the stabilized
filter cake, for all constituents
listed in Condition (3). BSC must
report the analytical test data,
including a record of the ratios
of lime kiln dust and fly ash
used and quality control
information, obtained during this
initial period no later than 60
days after the collection of the
last composite of stabilized
filter cake.
(B) Subsequent Verification
Testing: Following written
notification by EPA, BSC may
substitute the testing condition
in (1)(B) for (1)(A). BSC must
collect and analyze at least one
composite representative of the
stabilized filter cake generated
each month. Monthly composites
must be comprised of
representative samples collected
from all batches that are
stabilized in a one-month period.
The monthly samples must be
analyzed prior to the disposal of
the stabilized filter cake for
chromium, lead and nickel. BSC
may, at its discretion, analyze
composite samples more frequently
to demonstrate that smaller
batches of waste are non-
hazardous.
(C) Annual Verification Testing:
In order to confirm that the
characteristics of the treated
waste do not change
significantly, BSC must, on an
annual basis, analyze a
representative composite sample
of stabilized filter cake for all
TC constituents listed in 40 CFR
Sec. 261.24 using the method
specified therein. This composite
sample must represent the
stabilized filter cake generated
over one week.
(2) Waste Holding and Handling:
BSC must store, as hazardous, all
stabilized filter cake generated
until verification testing (as
specified in Conditions (1)(A)
and (1)(B)) is completed and
valid analyses demonstrate that
the delisting levels set forth in
Condition (3) are met. If the
levels of hazardous constituents
measured in the samples of
stabilized filter cake generated
are below all the levels set
forth in Condition (3), then the
stabilized filter cake is non-
hazardous and may be managed and
disposed of in accordance with
all applicable solid waste
regulations. If hazardous
constituent levels in any weekly
or monthly composite sample equal
or exceed any of the delisting
levels set in Condition (3), the
stabilized filter cake generated
during the time period
corresponding to this sample must
be retreated until it is below
these levels or managed and
disposed of in accordance with
Subtitle C of RCRA.
(3) Delisting Levels: All
concentrations must be measured
in the waste leachate by the
method specified in 40 CFR Sec.
261.24. The leachable
concentrations for the
constituents must be below the
following levels (ppm): arsenic--
4.8; barium--100; cadmium--0.48;
chromium--5.0; lead--1.4;
mercury--0.19; nickel--9.6;
selenium--1.0; silver--5.0.

under Condition (1), then BSC
must notify EPA in writing prior
to instituting the change. After
written approval by EPA, BSC may
manage waste generated from the
changed process as non-hazardous
under this exclusion, provided
the other conditions of this
exclusion are fulfilled.
(5) Data Submittals: Two weeks
prior to system start-up, BSC
must notify in writing the
Section Chief, Delisting Section
(see address below) when
stabilization of the dewatered
filter cake will begin. The data
obtained through Condition (1)(A)
must be submitted to the Section
Chief, Delisting Section, OSW

constituents are not present in
the waste at levels of regulatory
concern, the facility must
implement a contingency testing
program for the petitioned waste.
This testing program must meet
the following conditions for the
exclusion to be valid:
(1) Each batch of treatment
residue must be representatively
sampled and tested using the EP
Toxicity test for arsenic,
barium, cadmium, chromium, lead,
selenium, silver, mercury, and
nickel. If the extract
concentrations for chromium,
lead, arsenic, and silver exceed
0.315 ppm; barium levels exceed
6.3 ppm; cadmium and selenium
exceed 0.063 ppm; mercury exceeds
0.0126 ppm; or nickel levels
exceed 2.205 ppm; the waste must
be retreated or managed and
disposed as a hazardous waste
under 40 CFR Parts 262 to 265 and
the permitting standards of 40
CFR Part 270.
(2) Each batch of treatment
residue must be tested for
reactive and leachable cyanide.
If the reactive cyanide levels
exceed 250 ppm or leachable
cyanide levels (using the EP
Toxicity test without acetic acid
adjustment) exceed 1.26 ppm, the
waste must be re-treated or
managed and disposed as a
hazardous waste under 40 CFR
Parts 262 to 265 and the
permitting standards of 40 CFR
Part 270.
(3) Each batch of waste must be
tested for the total content of
specific organic toxicants. If
the total content of anthracene
exceeds 76.8 ppm, 1,2-diphenyl
hydrazine exceeds 0.001 ppm,
methylene chloride exceeds 8.18
ppm, methyl ethyl ketone exceeds
326 ppm, n-nitrosodiphenylamine
exceeds 11.9 ppm, phenol exceeds
1,566 ppm, tetrachloroethylene
exceeds 0.188 ppm, or
trichloroethylene exceeds 0.592
ppm, the waste must be managed
and disposed as a hazardous waste
under 40 CFR Parts 262 to 265 and
the permitting standards of 40
CFR Part 270.
(4) A grab sample must be
collected from each batch to form
one monthly composite sample
which must be tested using GC/MS
analysis for the compounds listed
in #3 above as well as the
remaining organics on the
priority pollutant list. (See 47
FR 52039, November 19, 1982, for
a list of the priority
pollutants.)
(5) The data from conditions 1-4
must be kept on file at the
facility for inspection purposes
and must be compiled, summarized,
and submitted to the
Administrator by certified mail
semi-annually. The Agency will
review this information and if
needed will propose to modify or
withdraw the exclusion.
The organics testing described in
conditions 3 and 4 above are not
required until six months from
the date of promulgation. The
Agency's decision to
conditionally exclude the
treatment residue generated from
the wastewater treatment systems
at these facilities applies only
to the wastewater and solids
treatment systems as they
presently exist as described in
the delisting petition. The
exclusion does not apply to the
proposed process additions
described in the petition as
recovery including
crystallization, electrolytic
metals recovery, evaporative
recovery, and ion exchange.

on-site surface impoundments on
November 14, 1986. To assure that
stabilization occurs, the
following conditions apply to
this exclusion:
(1) Mixing ratios shall be
monitored continuously to assure
consistent treatment.
(2) One grab sample of the treated
waste shall be taken each hour as
it is pumped to the holding area
(cell) from each trailer unit. At
the end of each production day,
the grab samples from the
individual trailer units will be
composited and the EP toxicity
test will be run on each
composite sample. If lead or
total chromium concentrations
exceed 0.315 ppm or if nickel
exceeds 2.17 ppm, in the EP
extract, the waste will be
removed and retreated or disposed
of as a hazardous waste.
(3) The treated waste shall be
pumped into bermed cells which
are constructed to assure that
the treated waste is identifiable
and retrievable (i.e., the
material can be removed and
either disposed of as a hazardous
waste or retreated if conditions
1 or 2 are not met).
Failure to satisfy any of these
conditions would render the
exclusion void. This is a one-
time exclusion, applicable only
to the residue generated from the
use of the Chemfix
treatment process on the sludge
currently contained in the three
on-site surface impoundments.
Geological Morrisville, PA.. Wastewater treatment sludge filter
Reclamation cake from the treatment of EPA
Operations and Hazardous Waste No. F039,
Systems, Inc. generated at a maximum annual
rate of 1,000 cubic yards. This
exclusion was published on August
20, 1991. This exclusion covers
the filter cake resulting from
the treatment of hazardous
leachate derived from only
``old'' GROWS and non-hazardous
leachate derived from only non-
hazardous sources. This exclusion
does not address the wastes
disposed of in the ``old'' GROWS
Landfill or the grit generated
during the removal of heavy
solids from the landfill
leachate. To ensure that
hazardous constituents are not
present in the filter cake at
levels of regulatory concern,
GROWS must implement a testing
program for the petitioned waste.
This testing program must meet
the conditions listed below in
order for the exclusion to be
valid:
(1) Testing: Sample collection and
analyses, including quality
control (QC) procedures, must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies.
(A) Sample Collection: Each batch
of waste generated over a four-
week period must be collected in
containers with a maximum
capacity of 20-cubic yards. At
the end of the four-week period,
each container must be divided
into four quadrants and a single,
full-depth core sample shall be
collected from each quadrant. All
of the full-depth core samples
then must be composited under
laboratory conditions to produce
one representative composite
sample for the four-week period.
(B) Sample Analysis: Each four-
week composite sample must be
analyzed for all of the
constituents listed in Condition
(3). The analytical data,
including quality control
information, must be compiled and
maintained on site for a minimum
of three years. These data must
be furnished upon request by any
employee or representative of EPA
or state of Pennsylvania.
(2) Waste Holding: The dewatered
filter cake waste must be stored
as hazardous until the
verification analyses are
completed.
If the four-week composite sample
does not exceed any of the
delisting levels set in Condition
(3), the filter cake waste
corresponding to this sample may
be managed and disposed of in
accordance with all applicable
solid waste regulations. If the
four-week composite sample
exceeds any of the delisting
levels set in Condition (3), the
filter cake waste generated
during the time period
corresponding to the four-week
composite sample must be
retreated until it meets these
levels (analyses must be
repeated) or managed and disposed
of in accordance with subtitle C
of RCRA.
Filter cake waste which is
generated but for which analyses
are not complete or valid must be
managed and disposed of in
accordance with subtitle C of
RCRA, until valid analyses
demonstrate that the waste meets
the delisting levels.
(3) Delisting Levels: If the
concentrations in the four-week
composite sample of the filter
cake waste for any of the
hazardous constituents listed
below exceed their respective
maximum allowable concentrations
(ppm) also listed below, the four-
week batch of failing filter cake
waste must either be retreated
until it meets these levels or
managed and disposed of in
accordance with subtitle C of
RCRA.

cement-type stabilization process
must be used and Syntex must
collect a composite sample of
four grab samples from each batch
of stabilized waste. An MEP
leachate test must be performed
on these composite samples and
the leachate analyzed for the EP
toxic metals, nickel, and cyanide
(using a distilled water
extraction for the cyanide
leachate analysis) to demonstrate
that the maximum allowable
treatment residue concentrations
listed in Condition (3) are not
exceeded during any run of the
MEP extraction. Analyses must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. Any residues which
exceed any of the levels listed
in Condition (3) must be
retreated to achieve these levels
or must be disposed in accordance
with all applicable hazardous
waste regulations. (If the
residues are stabilized, the
analyses required in this
condition supercede the analyses
required in Condition (3).)
(5) Syntex must generate, prior to
disposal of residues,
verification data from each eight
hour run from each treatment
residue (i.e., kiln and cyclone
ash, separator sludge, and
filtered wastewater) to
demonstrate that the maximum
allowable treatment residue
concentrations listed below are
not exceeded. Samples must be
collected as specified in
Conditions (2) and (3). Analyses
must be performed according to SW-
846 methodologies. Any solid or
liquid residues which exceed any

(6) Syntex must generate, prior to
disposal of residues,
verification data from each eight
hour run for each treatment
residue (i.e., kiln and cyclone
ash, separator sludge, and
filtered wastewater) to
demonstrate that the residues do
not contain tetra-, penta-, or
hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins or
furans at levels of regulatory
concern. Samples must be
collected as specified in
Conditions (2) and (3). The TCDD
equivalent levels for wastewaters
must be less than 2 ppq and less
than 5 ppt for the solid
treatment residues. Any residues
with detected dioxins or furans
in excess of these levels must be
retreated or must be disposed as
acutely hazardous. Method 8290, a
high resolution gas
chromatography and high
resolution mass spectroscopy
(HRGC/HRMS) analytical method,
must be used. For tetra- and
pentachloronated dioxin and furan
homologs, the maximum practical
quantitation limit must not
exceed 15 ppt for solids and 120
ppq for wastewaters. For
hexachlorinated homologs, the
maximum practical quantitation
limit must not exceed 37 ppt for
solids and 300 ppq for
wastewaters.
(7)(A) The test data from
Conditions (1), (2), (3), (4),

May 22, 1989. This exclusion is
conditioned upon the data
obtained from Bethlehem's full-
scale CSEAFD treatment facility
because Bethlehem's original data
were obtained from a laboratory-
scale CSEAFD treatment process.
To ensure that hazardous
constituents are not present in
the waste at levels of regulatory
concern once the full-scale
treatment facility is in
operation, Bethlehem must
implement a testing program for
the petitioned waste. This
testing program must meet the
following conditions for the
exclusion to be valid:
(1) Testing:
(A) Initial Testing: During the
first four weeks of operation of
the full-scale treatment system,
Bethlehem must collect
representative grab samples of
each treated batch of the CSEAFD
and composite the grab samples
daily. The daily composites,
prior to disposal, must be
analyzed for the EP leachate
concentrations of all the EP
toxic metals, nickel and cyanide
(using distilled water in the
cyanide extractions), and the
total constituent concentrations
of reactive sulfide and reactive
cyanide. Analyses must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. Bethlehem must
report the analytical test data
obtained during this initial
period no later than 90 days
after the treatment of the first
full-scale batch.
(B) Subsequent Testing: Bethlehem
must collect representative grab
samples from every treated batch
of CSEAFD generated daily and
composite all of the grab samples
to produce a weekly composite
sample. Bethlehem then must
analyze each weekly composite
sample for the EP leachate
concentrations of all the EP
toxic metals and nickel. Analyses
must be performed according to SW-
846 methodologies. The analytical
data, including all quality
control information, must be
compiled and maintained on site
for a minimum of three years.
These data must be furnished upon
request and made available for
inspection by any employee or
representative of EPA or the
State of Pennsylvania.
(2) Delisting Levels: If the EP
extract concentrations resulting
from the testing in condition
(1)(A) or (1)(B) for chromium,
lead, arsenic, or silver exceed
0.315 mg/L, for barium exceeds
6.3 mg/l; for cadmium or selenium
exceed 0.063 mg/l; for mercury
exceeds 0.0126 mg/l; for nickel
exceeds 3.15 mg/l; or for cyanide
exceeds 4.42 mg/L, or total
reactive cyanide or total
reactive sulfide levels exceed
250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg,
respectively, the waste must
either be re-treated or managed
and disposed in accordance with
subtitle C of RCRA.
(3) Data submittals: Within one
week of system start-up,
Bethlehem must notify the Section
Chief, Variances Section (see
address below) when their full-
scale stabilization system is on-
line and waste treatment has
begun. All data obtained through
the initial testing condition
(1)(A), must be submitted to the
Section Chief, Variances Section,
PSPD/OSW, (OS-343), U.S. EPA, 401
M Street, S.W., Washington, DC
20460 within the time period
specified in condition (1)(A). At
the Section Chief's request,
Bethlehem must submit analytical
data obtained through condition
(1)(B) to the above address,
within the time period specified
by the Section Chief. Failure to
submit the required data obtained
from either condition (1)(A) or
(1)(B) within the specified time
periods will be considered by the
Agency sufficient basis to revoke
Bethlehem's exclusion to the
extent directed by EPA. All data
must be accompanied by the
following certification
statement:
``Under civil and criminal penalty
of law for the making or
submission of false or fraudulent

BF Goodrich Calvert City, Brine purification muds and
Intermediates Kentucky. saturator insolubles (EPA
Company, Inc. Hazardous Waste No. K071) after
August 18, 1989. This exclusion
is conditional upon the
collection and submission of data
obtained from BFG's full-scale
treatment system because BFG's
original data was based on data
presented by another petitioner
using an identical treatment
process. To ensure that hazardous
constituents are not present in
the waste at levels of regulatory
concern once the full-scale
treatment facility is in
operation, BFG must implement a
testing program. All sampling and
analyses (including quality
control procedures) must be
performed according to SW-846
procedures. This testing program
must meet the following
conditions for the exclusion to
be valid:
(1) Initial Testing: During the
first four weeks of full-scale
operation, BFG must do the
following:
(A) Collect representative grab
samples from every batch of the
treated mercury brine
purification muds and treated
saturator insolubles on a daily
basis and composite the grab
samples to produce two separate
daily composite samples (one of
the treated mercury brine
purification muds and one of the
treated saturator insolubles).
Prior to disposal of the treated
batches, two daily composite
samples must be analyzed for EP
leachate concentration of
mercury. BFG must report the
analytical test data, including
all quality control data, within
90 days after the treatment of
the first full-scale batch.
(B) Collect representative grab
samples from every batch of the
treated mercury brine
purification muds and treated
saturator insolubles on a daily
basis and composite the grab
samples to produce two separate
weekly composite samples (one of
the treated mercury brine muds
and one of the treated saturator
insolubles). Prior to disposal of
the treated batches, two weekly
composite samples must be
analyzed for the EP leachate
concentrations of all the EP
toxic metals (except mercury),
nickel, and cyanide (using
distilled water in the cyanide
extractions), and the total
constituent concentrations of
reactive sulfide and reactive
cyanide. BFG must report the
analytical test data, including
all quality control data,
obtained during this initial
period no later than 90 days
after the treatment of the first
full-scale batch.
(2) Subsequent Testing: After the
first four weeks of full-scale
operation, BFG must do the
following:
(A) Continue to sample and test as
described in condition (1)(A).
BFG must compile and store on-
site for a minimum of three years
all analytical data and quality
control data. These data must be
furnished upon request and made
available for inspection by any
employee or representative of EPA
or the State of Kentucky.
(B) Continue to sample and test as
described in condition (1)(B).
BFG must compile and store on-
site for a minimum of three years
all analytical data and quality
control data. These data must be
furnished upon request and made
available for inspection by any
employee or representative of EPA
or the State of Kentucky. These
testing requirements shall be
terminated by EPA when the
results of four consecutive
weekly composite samples of both
the treated mercury brine muds
and treated saturator insolubles,
obtained from either the initial
testing or subsequent testing,
show the maximum allowable levels
in condition (3) are not exceeded
and the Section Chief, Variances
Section, notifies BFG that the
requirements of this condition
have been lifted.
(3) If, under condition (1) or
(2), the EP leachate
concentrations for chromium,
lead, arsenic, or silver exceed
0.316 mg/l; for barium exceeds
6.31 mg/l; for cadmium or
selenium exceed 0.063 mg/l; for
mercury exceeds 0.0126 mg/l, for
nickel exceeds 3.16 mg/l; for
cyanide exceeds 4.42 mg/l; or for
total reactive cyanide or total
reactive sulfide levels exceed
250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg,
respectively, the waste must
either be retreated until it
meets these levels or managed and
disposed of in accordance with
subtitle C of RCRA.
(4) Within one week of system
start-up, BFG must notify the
Section Chief, Variances Section
(see address below) when the full-
scale system is on-line and waste
treatment has begun. All data
obtained through condition (1)
must be submitted to the Section
Chief, Variances Section, PSPD/

within the time period specified
in condition (1). At the Section
Chief's request, BFG must submit
any other analytical data
obtained through condition (2) to
the above address, within the
time period specified by the
Section Chief. Failure to submit
the required data will be
considered by the Agency
sufficient basis to revoke BFG's
exclusion to the extent directed
by EPA. All data must be
accompanied by the following
certification statement:
``Under civil and criminal penalty
of law for the making or

CF&I Steel Pueblo, Colorado. Fully-cured chemically stabilized
Corporation. electric arc furnace dust/sludge
(CSEAFD) treatment residue (EPA
Hazardous Waste No. K061)
generated from the primary
production of steel after May 9,
1989. This exclusion is
conditioned upon the data
obtained from CF&I's full-scale
CSEAFD treatment facility because
CF&I's original data was obtained
from a laboratory-scale CSEAFD
treatment process. To ensure that
hazardous constituents are not
present in the waste at levels of
regulatory concern once the full-
scale treatment facility is in
operation, CF&I must implement a
testing program for the
petitioned waste. This testing
program must meet the following
conditions for the exclusion to
be vaild:
(1) Testing:
(A) Initial Testing: During the
first four weeks of operation of
the full-scale treatment system,
CF&I must collect representative
grab samples of each treated
batch of the CSEAFD and composite
the grab samples daily. The daily
composites, prior to disposal,
must be analyzed for the EP
leachate concentrations of all
the EP toxic metals, nickel, and
cyanide (using distilled water in
the cyanide extractions), and the
total constituent concentrations
of reactive sulfide and reactive
cyanide. Analyses must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. CF&I must report
the analytical test data obtained
during this initial period no
later than 90 days after the
treatment of the first full-scale
batch.
(B) Subsequent Testing: CF&I must
collect representative grab
samples from every treated batch
of CSEAFD generated daily and
composite all of the grab samples
to produce a weekly composite
sample. CF&I then must analyze
each weekly composite sample for
the EP leachate concentrations of
all of the EP toxic metals and
nickel. Analyses must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. The analytical
data, including all quality
control information, must be
compiled and maintained on site
for a minimum of three years.
These data must be furnished upon
request and made available for
inspection by any employee or
representative of EPA or the
State of Colorado.
(2) Delisting levels: If the EP
extract concentrations determined
in conditions (1)(A) or (1)(B)
for chromium, lead, arsenic, or
silver exceed 0.315 mg/1; for
barium exceeds 6.3 mg/1; for
cadmium or selenium exceed 0.063
mg/1; for mercury exceeds 0.0126

1; or for cyanide exceeds 4.42 mg/
1, or total reactive cyanide or
total reactive sulfide levels
exceed 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg,
respectively, the waste must
either be re-treated or managed
and disposed in accordance with
Subtitle C of RCRA.
(3) Data submittals: Within one
week of system start-up, CF&I
must notify the Section Chief,
Variances Section (see address
below) when their full-scale
stabilization system is on-line
and waste treatment has begun.
All data obtained through the
initial testing condition (1)(A),
must be submitted to the Section
Chief, Variances Section, PSPD/

Conversion Horsham, Chemically Stabilized Electric Arc
Systems, Inc. Pennsylvania. Furnace Dust (CSEAFD) that is
generated by Conversion Systems,
Inc. (CSI) (using the Super
DetoxTM treatment process as
modified by CSI to treat EAFD
(EPA Hazardous Waste No. K061))
at the following sites and that
is disposed of in Subtitle D
landfills:
Northwestern Steel, Sterling,
Illinois after June 13, 1995.
CSI must implement a testing
program for each site that meets
the following conditions for the
exclusion to be valid:
(1) Verification Testing
Requirements: Sample collection
and analyses, including quality
control procedures, must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies.
[[Page 103]]
(A) Initial Verification Testing:
During the first 20 operating
days of full-scale operation of a
newly constructed Super DetoxTM
treatment facility, CSI must
analyze a minimum of four (4)
composite samples of CSEAFD
representative of the full 20-day
period. Composites must be
comprised of representative
samples collected from every
batch generated. The CSEAFD
samples must be analyzed for the
constituents listed in Condition
(3). CSI must report the
operational and analytical test
data, including quality control
information, obtained during this
initial period no later than 60
days after the generation of the
first batch of CSEAFD.
(B) Addition of New Super DetoxTM
Treatment Facilities to
Exclusion: If the Agency's review
of the data obtained during
initial verification testing
indicates that the CSEAFD
generated by a specific Super
DetoxTM treatment facility
consistently meets the delisting
levels specified in Condition
(3), the Agency will publish a
notice adding to this exclusion
the location of the new Super
DetoxTM treatment facility and
the name of the steel mill
contracting CSI's services. If
the Agency's review of the data
obtained during initial
verification testing indicates
that the CSEAFD generated by a
specific Super DetoxTM treatment
facility fails to consistently
meet the conditions of the
exclusion, the Agency will not
publish the notice adding the new
facility.
(C) Subsequent Verification
Testing: For the Sterling,
Illinois facility and any new
facility subsequently added to
CSI's conditional multiple-site
exclusion, CSI must collect and
analyze at least one composite
sample of CSEAFD each month. The
composite samples must be
composed of representative
samples collected from all
batches treated in each month.
These monthly representative
samples must be analyzed, prior
to the disposal of the CSEAFD,
for the constituents listed in
Condition (3). CSI may, at its
discretion, analyze composite
samples gathered more frequently
to demonstrate that smaller
batches of waste are
nonhazardous.
(2) Waste Holding and Handling:
CSI must store as hazardous all
CSEAFD generated until
verification testing as specified
in Conditions (1)(A) and (1)(C),
as appropriate, is completed and
valid analyses demonstrate that
Condition (3) is satisfied. If
the levels of constituents
measured in the samples of CSEAFD
do not exceed the levels set
forth in Condition (3), then the
CSEAFD is non-hazardous and may
be disposed of in Subtitle D
landfills. If constituent levels
in a sample exceed any of the
delisting levels set in Condition
(3), the CSEAFD generated during
the time period corresponding to
this sample must be retreated
until it meets these levels, or
managed and disposed of in
accordance with Subtitle C of
RCRA. CSEAFD generated by a new
CSI treatment facility must be
managed as a hazardous waste
prior to the addition of the name
and location of the facility to
the exclusion. After addition of
the new facility to the
exclusion, CSEAFD generated
during the verification testing
in Condition (1)(A) is also non-
hazardous, if the delisting
levels in Condition (3) are
satisfied.
(3) Delisting Levels: All
leachable concentrations for
those metals must not exceed the
following levels (ppm): Antimony--
0.06; arsenic--0.50; barium--7.6;
beryllium--0.010; cadmium--0.050;
chromium--0.33; lead--0.15;
mercury--0.009; nickel--1;
selenium--0.16; silver--0.30;
thallium--0.020; vanadium--2; and
zinc--70. Metal concentrations
must be measured in the waste
leachate by the method specified
in 40 CFR 261.24.
(4) Changes in Operating
Conditions: After initiating
subsequent testing as described
in Condition (1)(C), if CSI
significantly changes the
stabilization process established
under Condition (1) (e.g., use of
new stabilization reagents), CSI
must notify the Agency in
writing. After written approval
by EPA, CSI may handle CSEAFD
wastes generated from the new
process as non-hazardous, if the
wastes meet the delisting levels
set in Condition (3).
(5) Data Submittals: At least one
month prior to operation of a new
Super DetoxTM treatment facility,
CSI must notify, in writing, the
Chief of the Waste Identification
Branch (see address below) when
the Super DetoxTM treatment
facility is scheduled to be on-
line. The data obtained through
Condition (1)(A) must be
submitted to the Branch Chief of
the Waste Identification Branch,
OSW (Mail Code 5304), U.S. EPA,
401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC
20460 within the time period
specified. Records of operating
conditions and analytical data
from Condition (1) must be
compiled, summarized, and
maintained on site for a minimum
of five years. These records and
data must be furnished upon
request by EPA, or the State in
which the CSI facility is
located, and made available for
inspection. Failure to submit the
required data within the
specified time period or maintain
the required records on site for
the specified time will be
considered by EPA, at its
discretion, sufficient basis to
revoke the exclusion to the
extent directed by EPA. All data
must be accompanied by a signed
copy of the following
certification statement to attest
to the truth and accuracy of the
data submitted:
Under civil and criminal penalty
of law for the making or
submission of false or fraudulent
statements or representations

DOE-RL........... Richland, Effluents (EPA Hazardous Waste
Washington. Nos. F001, F002, F003, F004,
F005, and F039 derived from F001
through F005) generated from the
200 Area Effluent Treatment
Facility (ETF) located at the
Hanford site (at a maximum
generation rate of 19 million
gallons per year) after June 13,
1995. To ensure that hazardous
constituents are not present in
the wastes at levels of
regulatory concern while the
treatment facility is in
operation, DOE must implement a
testing program. This testing
program must meet the following
conditions for the exclusion to
be valid:
(1) Testing: Sample collection and
analyses (including quality
control (QC) procedures) must be
performed according to SW-846 (or
other EPA-approved)
methodologies. If EPA judges the
treatment process to be effective
under the operating conditions
used during the initial
verification testing, DOE may
replace the testing required in
Condition (1)(A) with the testing
required in Condition (1)(B). DOE
must continue to test as
specified in Condition (1)(A)
until notified by EPA in writing
that testing in Condition (1) (A)
may be replaced by Condition
(1)(B).
(A) Initial Verification Testing:
During the period required to
fill the first three verification
tanks (each designed to hold
approximately 650,000 gallons)
with effluents generated from an
on-line, full-scale Effluent
Treatment Facility (ETF), DOE
must monitor the range of typical
operating conditions for the ETF.
DOE must collect a representative
sample from each of the first
three verification tanks filled
with ETF effluents. The samples
must be analyzed, prior to
disposal of ETF effluents, for
all constituents listed in
Condition (3). DOE must report
the operational and analytical
test data, including quality
control information, obtained
during this initial period no
later than 90 days after the
first verification tank is filled
with ETF effluents.
(B) Subsequent Verification
Testing: Following notification
by EPA, DOE may substitute the
testing conditions in this
condition for (1)(A). DOE must
continue to monitor operating
conditions, and collect and
analyze representative samples
from every tenth verification
tank filled with ETF effluents.
These representative samples must
be analyzed, prior to disposal of
ETF effluents, for all
constituents listed in Condition
(3). If all constituent levels in
a sample do not meet the
delisting levels specified in
Condition (3), DOE must analyze
representative samples from the
following two verification tanks
generated prior to disposal. DOE
may also collect and analyze
representative samples more
frequently.
(2) Waste Holding and Handling:
DOE must store as hazardous all
ETF effluents generated during
verification testing (as
specified in Conditions (1)(A)
and (1)(B)), that is until valid
analyses demonstrate that
Condition (3) is satisfied. If
the levels of hazardous
constituents in the samples of
ETF effluents are equal to or
below all of the levels set forth
in Condition (3), then the ETF
effluents are not hazardous and
may be managed and disposed of in
accordance with all applicable
solid waste regulations. If
hazardous constituent levels in
any representative sample
collected from a verification
tank exceed any of the delisting
levels set in Condition (3), the
ETF effluents in that
verification tank must be re-
treated until the ETF effluents
meet these levels. Following re-
treatment, DOE must repeat
analyses in Condition (3) prior
to disposal.
(3) Delisting Levels: All total
constituent concentrations in the
waste samples must be measured
using the appropriate methods
specified in ``Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Wastes: Physical/
Chemical Methods,'' U.S. EPA
Publication SW-846 (or other EPA-
approved methods). All total
constituent concentrations must
be equal to or less than the
following levels (ppm):
Inorganic Constituents
Ammonium--10.0
Antimony--0.06
Arsenic--0.5
Barium--20.0
Beryllium--0.04
Cadmium--0.05
Chromium--1.0
Cyanide--2.0
Fluoride--40.0
Lead--0.15
Mercury--0.02

Tributyl phosphate--0.2
1,1,1-Trichloroethane--2.0
1,1,2-Trichloroethane--0.05
Trichloroethylene--0.05
Vinyl Chloride--0.02
(4) Changes in Operating
Conditions: After completing the
initial verification testing in
Condition (1)(A), if DOE
significantly changes the
operating conditions established
in Condition (1), DOE must notify
the Agency in writing. After
written approval by EPA, DOE must
re-institute the testing required
in Condition (1)(A). DOE must
report the operations and test
data, required by Condition
(1)(A), including quality control
data, obtained during this period
no later than 60 days after the
changes take place. Following
written notification by EPA, DOE
may replace testing Condition
(1)(A) with (1)(B). DOE must
fulfill all other requirements in
Condition (1), as appropriate.
(5) Data Submittals: At least two
weeks prior to system start-up,
DOE must notify, in writing, the
Chief of the Waste Identification
Branch (see address below) when
the Effluent Treatment Process
will be on-line and waste
treatment will begin. The data
obtained through Condition (1)(A)
must be submitted to the Branch
Chief, Waste Identification
Branch, OSW (Mail Code 5304),
U.S. EPA, 401 M Street, S.W.,
Washington, DC 20460 within the
time period specified. Records of
operating conditions and
analytical data from Condition
(1) must be compiled, summarized,
and maintained on site for a
minimum of three years. These
records and data must be
furnished upon request by EPA or
the State of Washington and made
available for inspection. Failure
to submit the required data
within the specified time period
or to maintain the required
records on site for the specified
time will be considered by EPA,
at its discretion, sufficient
basis to revoke the exclusion to
the extent directed by EPA. All
data must be accompanied by a
signed copy of the following
certification statement to attest
to the truth and accuracy of the
data submitted:
Under civil and criminal penalty
of law for the making or
submission of false or fraudulent
statements or representations

verification that this
information is true, accurate,
and complete.
In the event that any of this
information is determined by EPA
in its sole discretion to be
false, inaccurate, or incomplete,
and upon conveyance of this fact
to DOE, I recognize and agree
that this exclusion of waste will
be void as if it never had effect
or to the extent directed by EPA
and that the DOE will be liable
for any actions taken in
contravention of its RCRA and
CERCLA obligations premised upon
DOE's reliance on the void
exclusion.

Marathon Oil Co.. Texas City, Texas Residual solids (at a maximum
annual generation rate of 1,000
cubic yards) generated from the
thermal desorption treatment and,
where necessary, stabilization of
wastewater treatment plant API/
DAF filter cake (EPA Hazardous
Waste Nos. K048 and K051), after
[insert date of publication].
Marathon must implement a testing
program that meets the following
conditions for the exclusion to
be valid:
(1) Testing: Sample collection and
analyses (including quality
control (QC) procedures) must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. If EPA judges the
treatment process to be effective
under the operating conditions
used during the initial
verification testing, Marathon
may replace the testing required
in Condition (1)(A) with the
testing required in Condition
(1)(B). Marathon must continue to
test as specified in Condition
(1)(A), including testing for
organics in Conditions (3)(B) and
(3)(C), until and unless notified
by EPA in writing that testing in
Condition (1)(A) may be replaced
by Condition (1)(B), or that
testing for organics may be
terminated as described in (1)(C)
(to the extent directed by EPA).
[[Page 107]]
(A) Initial Verification Testing:
During at least the first 40
operating days of full-scale
operation of the thermal
desorption unit, Marathon must
monitor the operating conditions
and analyze 5-day composites of
residual solids. 5-day composites
must be composed of
representative grab samples
collected from every batch during
each 5-day period of operation.
The samples must be analyzed
prior to disposal of the residual
solids for constituents listed in
Condition (3). Marathon must
report the operational and
analytical test data, including
quality control information,
obtained during this initial
period no later than 90 days
after the treatment of the first
full-scale batch.
(B) Subsequent Verification
Testing: Following notification
by EPA, Marathon may substitute
the testing conditions in (1)(B)
for (1)(A). Marathon must
continue to monitor operating
conditions, and analyze samples
representative of each month of
operation. The samples must be
composed of representative grab
samples collected during at least
the first five days of operation
of each month. These monthly
representative samples must be
analyzed for the constituents
listed in Condition (3) prior to
the disposal of the residual
solids. Marathon may, at its
discretion, analyze composite
samples gathered more frequently
to demonstrate that smaller
batches of waste are
nonhazardous.
(C) Termination of Organic
Testing: Marathon must continue
testing as required under
Condition (1)(B) for organic
constituents specified in
Conditions (3)(B) and (3)(C)
until the analyses submitted
under Condition (1)(B) show a
minimum of four consecutive
monthly representative samples
with levels of specific
constituents significantly below
the delisting levels in
Conditions (3)(B) and (3)(C), and
EPA notifies Marathon in writing
that monthly testing for specific
organic constituents may be
terminated. Following termination
of monthly testing, Marathon must
continue to test a representative
5-day composite sample for all
constituents listed in Conditions
(3)(B) and (3)(C) on an annual
basis. If delisting levels for
any constituents listed in
Conditions (3)(B) and (3)(C) are
exceeded in the annual sample,
Marathon must reinstitute
complete testing as required in
Condition (1)(B).
(2) Waste Holding and Handling:
Marathon must store as hazardous
all residual solids generated
until verification testing (as
specified in Conditions (1)(A)
and (1)(B)) is completed and
valid analysis demonstrates that
Condition (3) is satisfied. If
the levels of hazardous
constituents in the samples of
residual solids are below all of
the levels set forth in Condition
(3), then the residual solids are
non-hazardous and may be managed
and disposed of in accordance
with all applicable solid waste
regulations. If hazardous
constituent levels in any 5-day
composite or other representative
sample equal or exceed any of the
delisting levels set in Condition
(3), the residual solids
generated during the
corresponding time period must be
retreated and/or stabilized as
allowed below, until the residual
solids meet these levels, or
managed and disposed of in
accordance with Subtitle C of
RCRA.
If the residual solids contain
leachable inorganic
concentrations at or above the
delisting levels set forth in
Condition (3)(A), then Marathon
may stabilize the material with
Type 1 portland cement as
demonstrated in the petition to
immobilize the metals. Following
stabilization, Marathon must
repeat analyses in Condition
(3)(A) prior to disposal.
(3) Delisting Levels: Leachable
concentrations in Conditions
(3)(A) and (3)(B) must be
measured in the waste leachate by
the method specified in 40 CFR
261.24. The indicator parameters
in Condition (3)(C) must be
measured as the total
concentration in the waste.
Concentrations must be less than
the following levels (ppm):
(A) Inorganic Constituents:
antimony-0.6; arsenic, chromium,
or silver-5.0; barium-100.0;
beryllium-0.4; cadmium-0.5; lead-
1.5; mercury-0.2; nickel-10.0;
selenium-1.0; vanadium-20.0.
(B) Organic Constituents:
acenaphthene-200; benzene-0.5;
benzo(a)anthracene-0.01;
benzo(a)pyrene-0.02;
benzo(b)fluoranthene-0.02;
chrysene-0.02; ethyl benzene-70;
fluoranthene-100; fluorene-100;
naphthalene-100; pyrene-100;
toluene-100.
(C) Indicator Parameters: 1-methyl
naphthalene-3; benzo(a)pyrene-3.
(4) Changes in Operating
Conditions: After completing the
initial verification test period
in Condition (1)(A), if Marathon
significantly changes the
operating conditions established
under Condition (1), Marathon
must notify the Agency in
writing. After written approval
by EPA, Marathon must re-
institute the testing required in
Condition (1)(A) for a minimum of
four 5-day operating periods.
Marathon must report the
operations and test data,
required by Condition (1)(A),
including quality control data,
obtained during this period no
later than 60 days after the
changes take place. Following
written notification by EPA,
Marathon may replace testing
Condition (1)(A) with (1)(B).
Marathon must fulfill all other
requirements in Condition (1), as
appropriate.
[[Page 108]]
(5) Data Submittals: At least two
weeks prior to system start-up,
Marathon must notify in writing
the Section Chief Delisting
Section (see address below) when
the thermal desorption and
stabilization units will be on-
line and waste treatment will
begin. The data obtained through
Condition (1)(A) must be
submitted to the Section Chief,

minimum of five years. These
records and data must be
furnished upon request by EPA or
the State of Texas and made
available for inspection. Failure
to submit the required data
within the specified time period
or maintain the required records
on site for the specified time
will be considered by EPA, at its
discretion, sufficient basis to
revoke the exclusion to the
extent directed by EPA. All data
must be accompanied by a signed

rate (for all three wastes) of
1,018 tons per year. This
exclusion was published on April
29, 1991 and is conditioned upon
the collection of data from
Occidental's full-scale brine
treatment system because
Occidental's request for
exclusion was based on data from
a laboratory-scale brine
treatment process. To ensure that
hazardous constituents are not
present in the waste at levels of
regulatory concern once the full-
scale treatment system is in
operation, Occidental must
implement a testing program for
the petitioned waste. All
sampling and analyses (including
quality control procedures) must
be performed according to SW-846
methodologies. This testing
program must meet the following
conditions for the exclusion to
be valid:
(1) Initial Testing: During the
first four weeks of full-scale
treatment system operation,
Occidental must do the following:
(A) Collect representative grab
samples from each batch of the
three treated wastestreams
(sodium chloride saturator
cleanings (NaCl-SC), sodium
chloride treatment muds (NaCl-TM)
and potassium chloride treatment
muds (KCl-TM)) on an as generated
basis, and composite the samples
to produce three separate weekly
composite samples (of each type
of K071 waste). The three weekly
composite samples, prior to

conditional upon the submission
of data obtained from each rotary
kiln after it is established at
the R.P. Patterson facility in
Gum Springs, Arkansas. To ensure
that hazardous constituents are
not present in the waste at
levels of regulatory concern
while the treatment facility is
in operation, Reynolds must
implement a testing program. This
testing program must meet the
following conditions for the
exclusion to be valid:
(1) Operating Conditions:
(A) Initial Verification Testing:
During the first 20 days of full-
scale operation of the rotary
kiln, at typical operating
conditions, Reynolds must monitor
and submit to EPA the rotary kiln
operating conditions (including,
but not limited to: Temperature
range of the kiln (hot and cold
end), kiln residue exit
temperature, spent potliner feed
rate, brown sand feed rate,
limestone feed rate, natural gas
feed rate, oxygen/air feed rate,
and rotary kiln residence time of
the raw materials). The ratio of
the spent potliner feed rate to
the combined feed rates of the
spent potliner, brown sand, and
limestone must be no more than
0.35. Information on all
other operating conditions
should encompass all conditions
used for preliminary testing runs
and those anticipated for
subsequent waste processing.
During initial verification
testing, the petitioner must also
demonstrate to EPA how the range
of operating conditions could
affect the process (i.e., submit
analyses of representative grab
samples, as specified under
Condition (2), of the kiln
residue generated under the
expected range of operating
conditions). The source of the
brown sand must be from Reynolds'
dry lake beds at the Bauxite,
Arkansas facility. Reynolds must
submit the information specified
in this condition and obtained
during this initial period no
later than 90 days after the
treatment of the first full-scale
batch of spent potliner.
(B) Subsequent Verification
Testing: During subsequent
verification testing, Reynolds
must monitor the performance of
the rotary kiln at all times to
ensure that it falls within the
range of operating conditions
demonstrated during initial
verification testing, to be
adequate to maintain the levels
of hazardous constituents below
the delisting levels specified in
Condition (4). The feed rates of
spent potliner, lime and brown
sand are to be as that described
in Condition
(1)(A). Records of the operating
conditions of the rotary kiln
(including, but not limited to:
Temperature range of the kiln,
kiln residue exit temperature,
spent potliner feed rate, brown
sand feed rate, limestone feed
rate, natural gas feed rate,
oxygen/air feed rate, and rotary
kiln residence time of the raw
materials) should be maintained
on site for a minimum of five
years. This information must be
furnished upon request and made
available for inspection by any
employee or representative of EPA
or the State of Arkansas.
[[Page 112]]
(2) Testing: Sample collection and
analyses (including quality
control (QC) procedures) must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. For fluoride,
samples must be analyzed using
Method 340.2 from ``Methods for
Chemical Analysis of Water and
Waste''. If the EPA judges the
treatment process to be effective
under the operating conditions
used during the initial
verification testing, Reynolds
may replace the testing required
in Condition (2)(A) with the
testing required in Condition
(2)(B). Reynolds must continue to
test daily composites of kiln
residue generated beyond the time
period specified in Condition
(2)(A) until and unless notified
by EPA in writing that testing in
Condition (2)(A) may be replaced
by Condition (2)(B) (to the
extent directed by EPA).
(A) Initial Verification Testing:
During the first 20 operating
days of full-scale operation of
the new on-line rotary kiln,
Reynolds must collect and analyze
daily composites of kiln residue.
Daily composites must be composed
of representative grab samples
collected every 6 hours during
each 24-hour kiln operating
cycle. The kiln residue samples
must be analyzed, prior to the
disposal of the kiln residue, for
all constituents listed in
Condition (4). Reynolds must
report the analytical test data,
including quality control
information, obtained during this
initial period no later than 90
days after the treatment of the
first full-scale batch of
untreated spent potliner.
(B) Subsequent Verification
Testing: Following notification
by EPA, Reynolds may substitute
the testing conditions in (2)(B)
for (2)(A). Reynolds must collect
and analyze both daily and weekly
composites of kiln residue. Daily
composites must be composed of
representative grab samples
collected every 6 hours during a
24-hour kiln operating cycle and
these samples must be analyzed,
prior to the disposal of the kiln
residue, for leachable
concentrations of cyanide and
fluoride. Weekly composites must
be composed of representative
grab samples collected every 6
hours during a 24-hour kiln
operating cycle for each day in
the week that the kiln is
operating.
The weekly samples must be
analyzed, prior to the disposal
of the kiln residue, for the
leachable concentrations of the
inorganics listed in Condition
(4)(A) and leachable levels of
the semi-volatile organic
compounds listed in Condition
(4)(B). Analyses of both daily
and weekly samples must be
completed prior to the disposal
of waste generated during that
week as set forth in Condition
(3). The analytical data,
including quality control
information, must be compiled,
summarized, and maintained on
site for a minimum of five years.
These data must be furnished upon
request and made available for
inspection by any employee or
representative of EPA or the
State of Arkansas.
(3) Waste Holding and Handling:
Reynolds must store, as
hazardous, all kiln residue
generated until verification
testing (as specified in
Condition (2)(A) and (2)(B)) is
completed and compared, by the
petitioner, with the delisting
levels set forth in Condition
(4). If the levels of hazardous
constituents measured in the
samples of kiln residue generated
do not exceed any of the levels
set forth in Condition (4), then
the kiln residue is non-hazardous
and may be managed and
disposed of in accordance with
all applicable solid waste
regulations. If hazardous
constituent levels in any daily
or weekly sample exceed any of
the delisting levels set in
Condition (4), the kiln residue
generated during the time period
corresponding to this sample must
be retreated until it meets these
levels (analyses must be
repeated) or managed and disposed
of in accordance with Subtitle C
of RCRA. Kiln residue which is
generated but for which the
required analysis is not complete
or valid must be managed and
disposed of in accordance with
Subtitle C of RCRA, until valid
analysis demonstrates that
Condition (4) is satisfied.
(4) Delisting Levels: All
concentrations must be measured
in the waste leachate by the
method specified in 40 CFR
261.24.
(A) The leachable concentrations
for metals may not exceed the
following levels (ppm): arsenic,
selenium, or silver--0.60;
barium--12.0; antimony--0.12;
lead--0.18; cadmium--0.06,
chromium or nickel--1.2; mercury--
0.024; beryllium--0.012;
fluoride--48.0; and cyanide--2.4
(cyanide extraction must be
conducted using deionized water).
(B) The leachable constituent
concentrations for organics may
not exceed the levels listed
below (ppm):
Acenapthene--24
Benz(a)anthracene--1.2x10--4
Benzo(b)fluoranthene--2.4x10--4
Benzo(a)pyrene--2.4x10--3
Chrysene--2.4x10--3
Fluoranthene--12
Indeno (1,2,3-cd)pyrene--2.4x10--
3
Pyrene--12
(5) Changes in Operating
Conditions and Waste Sources: If
after completing the initial
verification test period in
Conditions (1)(A) and (2)(A),
Reynolds decides to treat spent
potliner from any other primary
aluminum reduction facility; or
use a new source for brown sand;
or otherwise significantly change
the operating conditions
developed under Condition (1);
then Reynolds must notify EPA in
writing prior to instituting the
change. Reynolds must also
reinstitute the testing and
reporting required in Conditions
(1)(A) and (2)(A) for a minimum
period of four operating days and
fulfill all other requirements in
Conditions (1) and (2), as
appropriate.
[[Page 113]]
Reynolds may also add one
additional kiln at its R.P.
Patterson facility in Gum
Springs, Arkansas if it can
demonstrate that the new kiln can
successfully treat spent
potliners. Reynolds must fulfill
all requirements contained in
Conditions (1) and (2) for the
second kiln. Reynolds must
continue to test any kiln residue
generated beyond the time period
specified in Condition (2)(A)
until and unless notified in
writing by EPA that testing
Condition (2)(A) may be replaced
by (2)(B) to the extent directed
by EPA.
(6) Data Submittals: Reynolds must
notify in writing the Section
Chief, Delisting Section (see
address below) when the rotary
kiln is on-line and two weeks
prior to when waste treatment
will begin. The data obtained
through Conditions (1)(A) and
(2)(A) must be submitted to the
Section Chief, Delisting Section,
OSW (OS-333), U.S. EPA, 401 M
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460
within the time period specified.
At the Section Chief's request,
Reynolds must submit any other
analytical data obtained through
Conditions (1)(B) and (2)(B)
within the time period specified
by the Section Chief. Failure to
submit the required data within
the specified time period or
maintain the required records on
site for the specified time will
be considered by the Agency, at
its discretion, sufficient basis
to revoke the exclusion to the
extent directed by EPA. All data
must be accompanied by a signed
copy of the following
certification statement to attest
to the truth and accuracy of the
data submitted:
``Under civil and criminal penalty
of law for the making or
submission of false or fraudulent
statements or representations
(pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Federal Code,
which include, but may not be
limited to, 18 USC Sec. 1001 and
42 USC Sec. 6928), I certify
that the information contained in
or accompanying this document is
true, accurate and complete.
``As to the (those) identified

having supervisory responsibility
for the persons who, acting under
my direct instructions, made the
verification that this
information is true, accurate and
complete.
``In the event that any of this
information is determined by EPA
in its sole discretion to be
false, inaccurate or incomplete,
and upon conveyance of this fact
to the company, I recognize and
agree that this exclusion of
wastes will be void as if it
never had effect or to the extent
directed by EPA and that the
company will be liable for any
actions taken in contravention of
the company's RCRA and CERCLA
obligations premised upon the
company's reliance on the void

Roanoke Electric Roanoke, VA...... Fully-cured chemically stabilized
Steel Corp. electric arc furnace dust/sludge
(CSEAFD) treatment residue (EPA
Hazardous Waste No. K061)
generated from the primary
production of steel after March
22, 1989. This exclusion is
conditioned upon the data
obtained from Roanoke's full-
scale CSEAFD treatment facility
because Roanoke's original data
were obtained from a laboratory-
scale CSEAFD treatment process.
To ensure that hazardous
constituents are not present in
the waste at levels of regulatory
concern once the full-scale
treatment facility is in
operation, Roanoke must implement
a testing program for the
petitioned waste.
This testing program must meet the
following conditions for the
exclusion to be valid:
(1) Testing:
(A) Initial testing: During the
first four weeks of operation of
the full-scale treatment system,
Roanoke must collect
representative grab samples of
each treated batch of the CSEAFD
and composite the grab samples
daily. The daily composites,
prior to disposal, must be
analyzed for the EP leachate
concentrations of all the EP
toxic metals, nickel and cyanide
(using distilled water in the
cyanide extractions), and the
total constituent concentrations
of reactive sulfide and reactive
cyanide. Analyses must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. Roanoke must
report the analytical test data
obtained during this initial
period no later than 90 days
after the treatment of the first
full-scale batch.
[[Page 114]]
(B) Subsequent testing: Roanoke
must collect representative grab
samples from every treated batch
of CSEAFD generated daily and
composite all of the grab samples
to produce a weekly composite
sample. Roanoke then must analyze
each weekly composite sample for
all of the EP toxic metals and
nickel. Analyses must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies. The analytical
data, including all quality
control information, must be
compiled and maintained on site
for a minimum of three years.
These data must be furnished upon
request and made available for
inspection by any employee or
representative of EPA or the
State of Virginia.
(2) Delisting levels: If the EP
extract concentrations for
chromium, lead, arsenic, or
silver exceed 0.315 mg/l; for
barium exceeds 6.3 mg/l; for
cadmium or selenium exceed 0.063
mg/l; for mercury exceeds 0.0126
mg/l; for nickel exceeds 3.15 mg/
l; or for cyanide exceeds 1.26 mg/
l, or total reactive cyanide or
total reactive sulfide levels
exceed 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg,
respectively, the waste must
either be re-treated or managed
and disposed in accordance with
Subtitle C of RCRA.
(3) Data submittals: Within one
week of system start-up, Roanoke
must notify the Section Chief,
Variances Section (see address
below) when their full-scale
stabilization system in on-line
and waste treatment has begun.
All data obtained through the
initial testing condition (1)(A),
must be submitted to the Section
Chief, Variances Section, PSPD/
OSW, (OS-343), U.S. EPA, 401 M
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460
within the time period specified
in condition (1)(A). Failure to
submit the required data or keep
the required records will be
considered by the Agency, at its
discretion, sufficient basis to
revoke Roanoke's exclusion. All
data must be accompanied by the
following certification
statement: ``Under civil and
criminal penalty of law for the
making or submission of false or
fraudulent statements or
representations (pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the
Federal Code which include, but
may not be limited to, 18 USC
6928), I certify that the
information contained in or
accompanying this document is
true, accurate and complete. As

information is true, accurate and
complete. In the event that any
of this information is determined
by EPA in its sole discretion to
be false, inaccurate or
incomplete, and upon conveyance
of this fact to the company, I
recognize and agree that this
exclusion of wastes will be void
as if it never had effect or to
the extent directed by EPA and
that the company will be liable
for any actions taken in
contravention of the company's
RCRA and CERCLA obligations

29, 1991. This exclusion (for
35,000 tons of CSEAFD per year)
is conditioned upon the data
obtained from USX's full-scale
CSEAFD treatment facility. To
ensure that hazardous
constituents are not present in
the waste at levels of regulatory
concern once the full-scale
treatment facility is in
operation, USX must implement a
testing program for the
petitioned waste. This testing
program must meet the following
conditions for the exclusion to
be valid:
(1) Testing: Sample collection and
analyses (including quality
control (QC) procedures) must be
performed according to SW-846
methodologies.
(A) Initial Testing: During the
first four weeks of operation of
the full-scale treatment system,
USX must collect representative
grab samples of each treated
batch of the CSEAFD and composite
the grab samples daily. The daily
composites, prior to disposal,
must be analyzed for the EP
leachate concentrations of all
the EP toxic metals, nickel, and
cyanide (using distilled water in
the cyanide extractions), and the
total concentrations of reactive
sulfide and reactive cyanide. USX
must report the analytical test
data, including quality control
information, obtained during this
initial period no later than 90
days after the treatment of the
first full-scale batch.
(B) Subsequent Testing: USX must
collect representative grab

to produce a weekly composite
sample. USX then must analyze
each weekly composite sample for
all of the EP toxic metals, and
nickel. The analytical data,
including quality control
information, must be compiled and
maintained on site for a minimum
of three years. These data must
be furnished upon request and
made available for inspection by
any employee or representative of
EPA or the State of Illinois.
(2) Delisting levels: If the EP
extract concentrations for
chromium, lead, arsenic, or
silver exceed 0.315 mg/l; for
barium exceeds 6.3 mg/l; for

Sec. 262.82 General conditions.
(a) Scope. The level of control for exports and imports of waste is
indicated by assignment of the waste to a green, amber, or red list and
by U.S. national procedures as defined in Sec. 262.80(a). The green,
amber, and red lists are incorporated by reference in Sec. 262.89 (e).
(1) Wastes on the green list are subject to existing controls
normally applied to commercial transactions, except as provided below:
(i) Green-list wastes that are considered hazardous under U.S.
national procedures are subject to amber-list controls.
(ii) Green-list waste that are sufficiently contaminated or mixed
with amber-list wastes, such that the waste or waste mixture is
considered hazardous under U.S. national procedures, are subject to
amber-list controls.
(iii) Green-list wastes that are sufficiently contaminated or mixed
with other wastes subject to red-list controls such that the waste or
waste mixture is considered hazardous under U.S. national procedures
must be handled in accordance with the red-list controls.
(2) Wastes on the amber list that are considered hazardous under
U.S. national procedures as defined in Sec. 262.80(a) are subject to the
amber-list controls of this Subpart.
(i) If amber-list wastes are sufficiently contaminated or mixed with
other wastes subject to red-list controls such that the waste or waste
mixture is considered hazardous under U.S.
[[Page 131]]
national procedures, the wastes must be handled in accordance with the
red-list controls.
(ii) [Reserved].
(3) Wastes on the red list that are considered hazardous under U.S.
national procedures as defined in Sec. 262.80(a) are subject to the red-
list controls of this subpart.
Note to paragraph (a)(3): Some wastes on the amber or red lists are
not listed or otherwise identified as hazardous under RCRA (e.g.,
polychlorinated biphenyls) and therefore are not subject to the amber-
or red-list controls of this subpart. Regardless of the status of the
waste under RCRA, however, other Federal environmental statutes (e.g.,
the Toxic Substances Control Act) may restrict certain waste imports or
exports. Such restrictions continue to apply without regard to this
Subpart.
(4) Wastes not yet assigned to a list are eligible for transfrontier
movements, as follows:
(i) If such wastes are considered hazardous under U.S. national
procedures as defined in Sec. 262.80(a), these wastes are subject to the
red-list controls; or
(ii) If such wastes are not considered hazardous under U.S. national
procedures as defined in Sec. 262.80(a), such wastes may move as though
they appeared on the green list.
(b) General conditions applicable to transfrontier movements of
hazardous waste.
(1) The waste must be destined for recovery operations at a facility
that, under applicable domestic law, is operating or is authorized to
operate in the importing country;
(2) The transfrontier movement must be in compliance with applicable
international transport agreements; and
Note to paragraph (b)(2): These international agreements include,
but are not limited to, the Chicago Convention (1944), ADR (1957), ADNR
(1970), MARPOL Convention (1973/1978), SOLAS Convention (1974), IMDG
Code (1985), COTIF (1985), and RID (1985).
(3) Any transit of waste through a non-OECD member country must be
conducted in compliance with all applicable international and national
laws and regulations.
(c) Provisions relating to re-export for recovery to a third
country.
(1) Re-export of wastes subject to the amber-list control system
from the U.S., as the importing country, to a third country listed in
Sec. 262.58(a)(1) may occur only after a notifier in the U.S. provides
notification to and obtains consent of the competent authorities in the
third country, the original exporting country, and new transit
countries. The notification must comply with the notice and consent
procedures in Sec. 262.83 for all concerned countries and the original
exporting country. The competent authorities of the original exporting
country as well as the competent authorities of all other concerned
countries have 30 days to object to the proposed movement.
(i) The 30-day period begins once the competent authorities of both
the initial exporting country and new importing country issue
Acknowledgements of Receipt of the notification.
(ii) The transfrontier movement may commence if no objection has
been lodged after the 30-day period has passed or immediately after
written consent is received from all relevant OECD importing and transit
countries.
(2) Re-export of waste subject to the red-list control system from
the original importing country to a third country listed in
Sec. 262.58(a)(1) may occur only following notification of the competent
authorities of the third country, the original exporting country, and
new transit countries by a notifier in the original importing country in
accordance with Sec. 262.83. The transfrontier movement may not proceed
until receipt by the original importing country of written consent from
the competent authorities of the third country, the original exporting
country, and new transit countries.
(3) In the case of re-export of amber or red-list wastes to a
country other than those in Sec. 262.58(a)(1), notification to and
consent of the competent authorities of the original OECD member country

compliance with all international agreements and arrangements to which
the first importing OECD member country is a
[[Page 132]]
party and all applicable regulatory requirements for exports from the
first importing country.
Sec. 262.83 Notification and consent.
(a) Applicability. Consent must be obtained from the competent
authorities of the relevant OECD importing and transit countries prior
to exporting hazardous waste destined for recovery operations subject to
this Subpart. Hazardous wastes subject to amber-list controls are
subject to the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section; hazardous
wastes subject to red-list controls are subject to the requirements of
paragraph (c) of this section; and wastes not identified on any list are
subject to the requirements of paragraph (d) of this section.
(b) Amber-list wastes. The export from the U.S. of hazardous wastes
as described in Sec. 262.80(a) that appear on the amber list is
prohibited unless the notification and consent requirements of paragraph
(b)(1) or paragraph (b)(2) of this section are met.
(1) Transactions requiring specific consent:
(i) Notification. At least 45 days prior to commencement of the
transfrontier movement, the notifier must provide written notification
in English of the proposed transfrontier movement to the Office of
Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Office of Compliance, Enforcement
Planning, Targeting and Data Division (2222A), Environmental Protection
Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, with the words
``Attention: OECD Export Notification'' prominently displayed on the
envelope. This notification must include all of the information
identified in paragraph (e) of this section. In cases where wastes
having similar physical and chemical characteristics, the same United
Nations classification, and the same RCRA waste codes are to be sent
periodically to the same recovery facility by the same notifier, the
notifier may submit one notification of intent to export these wastes in
multiple shipments during a period of up to one year.
(ii) Tacit consent. If no objection has been lodged by any concerned
country (i.e., exporting, importing, or transit countries) to a
notification provided pursuant to paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section
within 30 days after the date of issuance of the Acknowledgment of
Receipt of notification by the competent authority of the importing
country, the transfrontier movement may commence. Tacit consent expires
one calendar year after the close of the 30 day period; renotification
and renewal of all consents is required for exports after that date.
(iii) Written consent. If the competent authorities of all the
relevant OECD importing and transit countries provide written consent in
a period less than 30 days, the transfrontier movement may commence
immediately after all necessary consents are received. Written consent
expires for each relevant OECD importing and transit country one
calendar year after the date of that country's consent unless otherwise
specified; renotification and renewal of each expired consent is
required for exports after that date.
(2) Shipments to facilities pre-approved by the competent
authorities of the importing countries to accept specific wastes for
recovery:
(i) The notifier must provide EPA the information identified in
paragraph (e) of this section in English, at least 10 days in advance of
commencing shipment to a pre-approved facility. The notification should
indicate that the recovery facility is pre-approved, and may apply to a
single specific shipment or to multiple shipments as described in
paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section. This information must be sent to
the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Office of
Compliance, Enforcement Planning, Targeting and Data Division (2222A),
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460,
with the words ``OECD Export Notification--Pre-approved Facility''
prominently displayed on the envelope.
(ii) Shipments may commence after the notification required in
paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section has been received by the competent
authorities of all concerned countries, unless the notifier has received
information indicating that the competent authorities of one or more
concerned countries objects to the shipment.
[[Page 133]]
(c) Red-list wastes. The export from the U.S. of hazardous wastes as
described in Sec. 262.80(a) that appear on the red list is prohibited
unless notice is given pursuant to paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section
and the notifier receives written consent from the importing country and
any transit countries prior to commencement of the transfrontier
movement.
(d) Unlisted wastes. Wastes not assigned to the green, amber, or red
list that are considered hazardous under U.S. national procedures as
defined in Sec. 262.80(a) are subject to the notification and consent
requirements established for red-list wastes in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this section. Unlisted wastes that are not considered
hazardous under U.S. national procedures as defined in Sec. 262.80(a)
are not subject to amber or red controls when exported or imported.

(7) Appropriate signatures for each custody transfer (e.g.
transporter, consignee, and owner or operator of the recovery facility).
(c) Notifiers also must comply with the special manifest
requirements of 40 CFR 262.54(a), (b), (c), (e), and (i) and consignees
must comply with the import requirements of 40 CFR part 262, subpart F.
(d) Each U.S. person that has physical custody of the waste from the
time the movement commences until it arrives at the recovery facility
must sign the tracking document (e.g. transporter, consignee, and owner
or operator of the recovery facility).
(e) Within 3 working days of the receipt of imports subject to this
Subpart, the owner or operator of the U.S. recovery facility must send
signed copies of the tracking document to the notifier, to the Office of
Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Office of Compliance, Enforcement
Planning, Targeting and Data Division (2222A), Environmental Protection
Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, and to the competent
authorities of the exporting and transit countries.
Sec. 262.85 Contracts.
(a) Transfrontier movements of hazardous wastes subject to amber or
red control procedures are prohibited unless they occur under the terms
of a valid written contract, chain of contracts, or equivalent
arrangements (when the movement occurs between parties controlled by the
same corporate or legal entity). Such contracts or equivalent
arrangements must be executed by the notifier and the owner or operator
of the recovery facility, and must specify responsibilities for each.
Contracts or equivalent arrangements are valid for the purposes of this
section only if persons assuming obligations under the contracts or
equivalent arrangements have appropriate legal status to conduct the
operations specified in the contract or equivalent arrangement.
(b) Contracts or equivalent arrangements must specify the name and
EPA ID number, where available, of:
(1) The generator of each type of waste;
(2) Each person who will have physical custody of the wastes;
(3) Each person who will have legal control of the wastes; and
(4) The recovery facility.
(c) Contracts or equivalent arrangements must specify which party to
the contract will assume responsibility for alternate management of the
wastes if its disposition cannot be carried out as described in the
notification of intent to export. In such cases, contracts must specify
that:
[[Page 135]]
(1) The person having actual possession or physical control over the
wastes will immediately inform the notifier and the competent
authorities of the exporting and importing countries and, if the wastes
are located in a country of transit, the competent authorities of that
country; and
(2) The person specified in the contract will assume responsibility
for the adequate management of the wastes in compliance with applicable
laws and regulations including, if necessary, arranging their return to
the original country of export.
(d) Contracts must specify that the consignee will provide the
notification required in Sec. 262.82(c) prior to re-export of controlled
wastes to a third country.
(e) Contracts or equivalent arrangements must include provisions for
financial guarantees, if required by the competent authorities of any
concerned country, in accordance with applicable national or
international law requirements.
Note to paragraph (e): Financial guarantees so required are intended
to provide for alternate recycling, disposal or other means of sound
management of the wastes in cases where arrangements for the shipment
and the recovery operations cannot be carried out as foreseen. The U.S.
does not require such financial guarantees at this time; however, some
OECD countries do. It is the responsibility of the notifier to ascertain
and comply with such requirements; in some cases, transporters or
consignees may refuse to enter into the necessary contracts absent
specific references or certifications to financial guarantees.
(f) Contracts or equivalent arrangements must contain provisions
requiring each contracting party to comply with all applicable
requirements of this subpart.
(g) Upon request by EPA, U.S. notifiers, consignees, or recovery
facilities must submit to EPA copies of contracts, chain of contracts,
or equivalent arrangements (when the movement occurs between parties
controlled by the same corporate or legal entity). Information contained
in the contracts or equivalent arrangements for which a claim of
confidentiality is asserted accordance with 40 CFR 2.203(b) will be
treated as confidential and will be disclosed by EPA only as provided in
40 CFR 260.2.
Note to paragraph (g): Although the U.S. does not require routine
submission of contracts at this time, OECD Council Decision C(92)39/
FINAL allows members to impose such requirements. When other OECD
countries require submission of partial or complete copies of the
contract as a condition to granting consent to proposed movements, EPA
will request the required information; absent submission of such
information, some OECD countries may deny consent for the proposed
movement.
Sec. 262.86 Provisions relating to recognized traders.
(a) A recognized trader who takes physical custody of a waste and
conducts recovery operations (including storage prior to recovery) is
acting as the owner or operator of a recovery facility and must be so
authorized in accordance with all applicable Federal laws.
(b) A recognized trader acting as a notifier or consignee for
transfrontier shipments of waste must comply with all the requirements
of this Subpart associated with being a notifier or consignee.
Sec. 262.87 Reporting and recordkeeping.
(a) Annual reports. For all waste movements subject to this Subpart,

Subpart A--General
Sec. 263.10 Scope.
(a) These regulations establish standards which apply to persons
transporting hazardous waste within the United States if the
transportation requires a manifest under 40 CFR part 262.
Note: The regulations set forth in parts 262 and 263 establish the
responsibilities of generators and transporters of hazardous waste in
the handling, transportation, and management of that waste. In these
regulations, EPA has expressly adopted certain regulations of the
Department of Transportation (DOT) governing the transportation of
hazardous materials. These regulations concern, among other things,
labeling, marking, placarding, using proper containers, and reporting
discharges. EPA has expressly adopted these regulations in order to
satisfy its statutory obligation to promulgate regulations which are
necessary to protect human health and the environment in the
transportation of hazardous waste. EPA's adoption of these DOT
regulations ensures consistency with the requirements of DOT and thus
avoids the establishment of duplicative or conflicting requirements with
respect to these matters. These EPA regulations which apply to both
interstate and intrastate transportation of hazardous waste are
enforceable by EPA.
DOT has revised its hazardous materials transportation regulations
in order to encompass the transportation of hazardous waste and to
regulate intrastate, as well as interstate, transportation of hazardous
waste. Transporters of hazardous waste are cautioned that DOT's
regulations are fully applicable to their activities and enforceable by
DOT. These DOT regulations are codified in title 49, Code of Federal
Regulations, subchapter C.
EPA and DOT worked together to develop standards for transporters of
hazardous waste in order to avoid conflicting requirements. Except for
transporters of bulk shipments of hazardous waste by water, a
transporter who meets all applicable requirements of 49 CFR parts 171
through 179 and the requirements of 40 CFR 263.11 and 263.31 will be
deemed in compliance with this part. Regardless of DOT's action, EPA
retains its authority to enforce these regulations.
(b) These regulations do not apply to on-site transportation of
hazardous waste by generators or by owners or operators of permitted
hazardous waste management facilities.
(c) A transporter of hazardous waste must also comply with 40 CFR
part 262, Standards Applicable to Generators of Hazardous Waste, if he:
(1) Transports hazardous waste into the United States from abroad;
or
(2) Mixes hazardous wastes of different DOT shipping descriptions by
placing them into a single container.
(d) A transporter of hazardous waste subject to the Federal
manifesting requirements of 40 CFR part 262, or subject to the waste
management standards of 40 CFR part 273, or subject to State
requirements analogous to 40 CFR part 273, that is being imported from
or exported to any of the countries listed in 40 CFR 262.58(a)(1) for
purposes of recovery is subject to this Subpart and to all other
relevant requirements of subpart H of 40 CFR part
[[Page 145]]
262, including, but not limited to, 40 CFR 262.84 for tracking
documents.

Effective Date Note: At 61 FR 16314, Apr. 12, 1996, Sec. 263.10(d)
was added, effective July 11, 1996.
Sec. 263.11 EPA identification number.
(a) A transporter must not transport hazardous wastes without having
received an EPA identification number from the Administrator.
(b) A transporter who has not received an EPA identification number
may obtain one by applying to the Administrator using EPA Form 8700-12.
Upon receiving the request, the Administrator will assign an EPA
identification number to the transporter.
Sec. 263.12 Transfer facility requirements.
A transporter who stores manifested shipments of hazardous waste in
containers meeting the requirements of Sec. 262.30 at a transfer
facility for a period of ten days or less is not subject to regulation
under parts 270, 264, 265, and 268 of this chapter with respect to the
storage of those wastes.

FR 40637, Nov. 7, 1986]
Subpart B--Compliance With the Manifest System and Recordkeeping
Sec. 263.20 The manifest system.
(a) A transporter may not accept hazardous waste from a generator
unless it is accompanied by a manifest signed in accordance with the
provisions of 40 CFR 262.20. In the case of exports other than those
subject to subpart H of 40 CFR part 262, a transporter may not accept
such waste from a primary exporter or other person if he knows the
shipment does not conform to the EPA Acknowledgement of Consent; and
unless, in addition to a manifest signed in accordance with the
provisions of 40 CFR 262.20, such waste is also accompanied by an EPA
Acknowledgement of Consent which, except for shipment by rail, is
attached to the manifest (or shipping paper for exports by water (bulk
shipment)). For exports of hazardous waste subject to the requirements
of subpart H of 40 CFR part 262, a transporter may not accept hazardous
waste without a tracking document that includes all information required
by 40 CFR 262.84.
(b) Before transporting the hazardous waste, the transporter must
sign and date the manifest acknowledging acceptance of the hazardous
waste from the generator. The transporter must return a signed copy to
the generator before leaving the generator's property.
(c) The transporter must ensure that the manifest accompanies the
hazardous waste. In the case of exports, the transporter must ensure
that a copy of the EPA Acknowledgment of Consent also accompanies the
hazardous waste.
(d) A transporter who delivers a hazardous waste to another
transporter or to the designated facility must:
(1) Obtain the date of delivery and the handwritten signature of
that transporter or of the owner or operator of the designated facility
on the manifest; and
(2) Retain one copy of the manifest in accordance with Sec. 263.22;
and
(3) Give the remaining copies of the manifest to the accepting
transporter or designated facility.
(e) The requirements of paragraphs (c), (d) and (f) of this section
do not apply to water (bulk shipment) transporters if:
(1) The hazardous waste is delivered by water (bulk shipment) to the
designated facility; and
(2) A shipping paper containing all the information required on the
manifest (excluding the EPA identification numbers, generator
certification, and signatures) and, for exports, an EPA Acknowledgment
of Consent accompanies the hazardous waste; and
(3) The delivering transporter obtains the date of delivery and
handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the designated
facility on either the manifest or the shipping paper; and
(4) The person delivering the hazardous waste to the initial water
(bulk shipment) transporter obtains the date of delivery and signature
of the water (bulk shipment) transporter on the
[[Page 146]]
manifest and forwards it to the designated facility; and
(5) A copy of the shipping paper or manifest is retained by each
water (bulk shipment) transporter in accordance with Sec. 263.22.
(f) For shipments involving rail transportation, the requirements of
paragraphs (c), (d) and (e) do not apply and the following requirements
do apply:
(1) When accepting hazardous waste from a non-rail transporter, the
initial rail transporter must:
(i) Sign and date the manifest acknowledging acceptance of the
hazardous waste;
(ii) Return a signed copy of the manifest to the non-rail
transporter;
(iii) Forward at least three copies of the manifest to:
(A) The next non-rail transporter, if any; or,
(B) The designated facility, if the shipment is delivered to that
facility by rail; or
(C) The last rail transporter designated to handle the waste in the
United States;
(iv) Retain one copy of the manifest and rail shipping paper in
accordance with Sec. 263.22.
(2) Rail transporters must ensure that a shipping paper containing
all the information required on the manifest (excluding the EPA
identification numbers, generator certification, and signatures) and,
for exports an EPA Acknowledgment of Consent accompanies the hazardous
waste at all times.
Note: Intermediate rail transporters are not required to sign either
the manifest or shipping paper.
(3) When delivering hazardous waste to the designated facility, a
rail transporter must:
(i) Obtain the date of delivery and handwritten signature of the
owner or operator of the designated facility on the manifest or the
shipping paper (if the manifest has not been received by the facility);
and
(ii) Retain a copy of the manifest or signed shipping paper in
accordance with Sec. 263.22.
(4) When delivering hazardous waste to a non-rail transporter a rail
transporter must:
(i) Obtain the date of delivery and the handwritten signature of the
next non-rail transporter on the manifest; and
(ii) Retain a copy of the manifest in accordance with Sec. 263.22.
(5) Before accepting hazardous waste from a rail transporter, a non-
rail transporter must sign and date the manifest and provide a copy to
the rail transporter.
(g) Transporters who transport hazardous waste out of the United
States must:
(1) Indicate on the manifest the date the hazardous waste left the
United States; and
(2) Sign the manifest and retain one copy in accordance with
Sec. 263.22(c); and
(3) Return a signed copy of the manifest to the generator; and
(4) Give a copy of the manifest to a U.S. Customs official at the
point of departure from the United States.
(h) A transporter transporting hazardous waste from a generator who
generates greater than 100 kilograms but less than 1000 kilograms of
hazardous waste in a calendar month need not comply with the
requirements of this section or those of Sec. 263.22 provided that:
(1) The waste is being transported pursuant to a reclamation
agreement as provided for in Sec. 262.20(e);
(2) The transporter records, on a log or shipping paper, the
following information for each shipment:
(i) The name, address, and U.S. EPA Identification Number of the
generator of the waste;
(ii) The quantity of waste accepted;
(iii) All DOT-required shipping information;
(iv) The date the waste is accepted; and
(3) The transporter carries this record when transporting waste to
the reclamation facility; and
(4) The transporter retains these records for a period of at least
three years after termination or expiration of the agreement.

was amended by redesignating (a) as (a)(1) and adding (a)(2), effective
July 11, 1996.
Sec. 264.13 General waste analysis.
(a)(1) Before an owner or operator treats, stores, or disposes of
any hazardous wastes, or nonhazardous wastes if applicable under
Sec. 264.113(d), he must obtain a detailed chemical and physical
analysis of a representative sample of the wastes. At a minimum, the
analysis must contain all the information which must be known to treat,
store, or dispose of the waste in accordance
[[Page 154]]
with this part and part 268 of this chapter.
(2) The analysis may include data developed under part 261 of this
chapter, and existing published or documented data on the hazardous
waste or on hazardous waste generated from similar processes.
[Comment: For example, the facility's records of analyses performed
on the waste before the effective date of these regulations, or studies
conducted on hazardous waste generated from processes similar to that
which generated the waste to be managed at the facility, may be included
in the data base required to comply with paragraph (a)(1) of this
section. The owner or operator of an off-site facility may arrange for
the generator of the hazardous waste to supply part of the information
required by paragraph (a)(1) of this section, except as otherwise
specified in 40 CFR 268.7 (b) and (c). If the generator does not supply
the information, and the owner or operator chooses to accept a hazardous
waste, the owner or operator is responsible for obtaining the
information required to comply with this section.]
(3) The analysis must be repeated as necessary to ensure that it is
accurate and up to date. At a minimum, the analysis must be repeated:
(i) When the owner or operator is notified, or has reason to
believe, that the process or operation generating the hazardous wastes,
or non-hazardous wastes if applicable under Sec. 264.113(d), has
changed; and
(ii) For off-site facilities, when the results of the inspection
required in paragraph (a)(4) of this section indicate that the hazardous
waste received at the facility does not match the waste designated on
the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.
(4) The owner or operator of an off-site facility must inspect and,
if necessary, analyze each hazardous waste movement received at the
facility to determine whether it matches the identity of the waste
specified on the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.
(b) The owner or operator must develop and follow a written waste
analysis plan which describes the procedures which he will carry out to
comply with paragraph (a) of this section. He must keep this plan at the
facility. At a minimum, the plan must specify:
(1) The parameters for which each hazardous waste, or non-hazardous
waste if applicable under Sec. 264.113(d), will be analyzed and the
rationale for the selection of these parameters (i.e., how analysis for
these parameters will provide sufficient information on the waste's
properties to comply with paragraph (a) of this section);
(2) The test methods which will be used to test for these
parameters;
(3) The sampling method which will be used to obtain a
representative sample of the waste to be analyzed. A representative
sample may be obtained using either:
(i) One of the sampling methods described in appendix I of part 261
of this chapter; or
(ii) An equivalent sampling method.
[Comment: See Sec. 260.21 of this chapter for related discussion.]
(4) The frequency with which the initial analysis of the waste will
be reviewed or repeated to ensure that the analysis is accurate and up
to date; and
(5) For off-site facilities, the waste analyses that hazardous waste
generators have agreed to supply.
(6) Where applicable, the methods that will be used to meet the
additional waste analysis requirements for specific waste management
methods as specified in Secs. 264.17, 264.314, 264.341, 264.1034(d),
264.1063(d), 264.1083, and 268.7 of this chapter.
(7) For surface impoundments exempted from land disposal
restrictions under Sec. 268.4(a), the procedures and schedules for:
(i) The sampling of impoundment contents;
(ii) The analysis of test data; and,
(iii) The annual removal of residues which are not delisted under
Sec. 260.22 of this chapter or which exhibit a characteristic of
hazardous waste and either:
(A) Do not meet applicable treatment standards of part 268, subpart
D; or
(B) Where no treatment standards have been established;
(1) Such residues are prohibited from land disposal under
Sec. 268.32 or RCRA section 3004(d); or
(2) Such residues are prohibited from land disposal under
Sec. 268.33(f).
(8) For owners and operators seeking an exemption to the air
emission
[[Page 155]]
standards of subpart CC in accordance with Sec. 264.1082--
(i) If direct measurement is used for the waste determination, the
procedures and schedules for waste sampling and analysis, and the
results of the analysis of test data to verify the exemption.
(ii) If knowledge of the waste is used for the waste determination,
any information prepared by the facility owner or operator or by the
generator of the hazardous waste, if the waste is received from off-
site, that is used as the basis for knowledge of the waste.
(c) For off-site facilities, the waste analysis plan required in
paragraph (b) of this section must also specify the procedures which
will be used to in-spect and, if necessary, analyze each movement of
hazardous waste received at the facility to ensure that it matches the
identity of the waste designated on the accompanying manifest or
shipping paper. At a minimum, the plan must describe:
(1) The procedures which will be used to determine the identity of
each movement of waste managed at the facility; and
(2) The sampling method which will be used to obtain a
representative sample of the waste to be identified, if the
identification method includes sampling.
(3) The procedures that the owner or operator of an off-site
landfill receiving containerized hazardous waste will use to determine
whether a hazardous waste generator or treater has added a biodegradable
sorbent to the waste in the container.
[Comment: Part 270 of this chapter requires that the waste analysis plan
be submitted with part B of the permit application.]

Sec. 264.14 Security.
(a) The owner or operator must prevent the unknowing entry, and
minimize the possibility for the unauthorized entry, of persons or
livestock onto the active portion of his facility, unless he can
demonstrate to the Regional Administrator that:
(1) Physical contact with the waste, structures, or equipment within
the active portion of the facility will not injure unknowing or
unauthorized persons or livestock which may enter the active portion of
a facility; and
(2) Disturbance of the waste or equipment, by the unknowing or
unauthorized entry of persons or livestock onto the active portion of a
facility, will not cause a violation of the requirements of this part.
[Comment: Part 270 of this chapter requires that an owner or operator
who wishes to make the demonstration referred to above must do so with
part B of the permit application.]
(b) Unless the owner or operator has made a successful demonstration
under paragraphs (a) (1) and (2) of this section, a facility must have:
(1) A 24-hour surveillance system (e.g., television monitoring or
surveillance by guards or facility personnel) which continuously
monitors and controls entry onto the active portion of the facility; or
(2)(i) An artificial or natural barrier (e.g., a fence in good
repair or a fence combined with a cliff), which completely surrounds the
active portion of the facility; and
(ii) A means to control entry, at all times, through the gates or
other entrances to the active portion of the facility (e.g., an
attendant, television monitors, locked entrance, or controlled roadway
access to the facility).
[Comment: The requirements of paragraph (b) of this section are
satisfied if the facility or plant within which the active portion is
located itself has a surveillance system, or a barrier and a means to
control entry, which complies with the requirements of paragraph (b) (1)
or (2) of this section.]
(c) Unless the owner or operator has made a successful demonstration
under
[[Page 156]]
paragraphs (a) (1) and (2) of this section, a sign with the legend,
``Danger--Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out'', must be posted at each
entrance to the active portion of a facility, and at other locations, in
sufficient numbers to be seen from any approach to this active portion.
The legend must be written in English and in any other language
predominant in the area surrounding the facility (e.g., facilities in
counties bordering the Canadian province of Quebec must post signs in
French; facilities in counties bordering Mexico must post signs in
Spanish), and must be legible from a distance of at least 25 feet.
Existing signs with a legend other than ``Danger--Unauthorized Personnel
Keep Out'' may be used if the legend on the sign indicates that only
authorized personnel are allowed to enter the active portion, and that
entry onto the active portion can be dangerous.

the environment or (2) a threat to human health. The owner or operator
must conduct these inspections often enough to identify problems in time
to correct them before they harm human health or the environment.
(b)(1) The owner or operator must develop and follow a written
schedule for inspecting monitoring equipment, safety and emergency
equipment, security devices, and operating and structural equipment
(such as dikes and sump pumps) that are important to preventing,
detecting, or responding to environmental or human health hazards.
(2) He must keep this schedule at the facility.
(3) The schedule must identify the types of problems (e.g.,
malfunctions or deterioration) which are to be looked for during the
inspection (e.g., inoperative sump pump, leaking fitting, eroding dike,
etc.).
(4) The frequency of inspection may vary for the items on the
schedule. However, it should be based on the rate of deterioration of
the equipment and the probability of an environmental or human health
incident if the deterioration, malfunction, or any operator error goes
undetected between inspections. Areas subject to spills, such as loading
and unloading areas, must be inspected daily when in use. At a minimum,
the inspection schedule must include the items and frequencies called
for in Secs. 264.174, 264.193, 264.195, 264.226, 264.254, 264.278,
264.303, 264.347, 264.602, 264.1033, 264.1052, 264.1053, 264.1058,
264.1088, and 264.1091(b), where applicable.
[Comment: Part 270 of this chapter requires the inspection schedule to
be submitted with part B of the permit application. EPA will evaluate
the schedule along with the rest of the application to ensure that it
adequately protects human health and the environment. As part of this
review, EPA may modify or amend the schedule as may be necessary.]
(c) The owner or operator must remedy any deterioration or
malfunction of equipment or structures which the inspection reveals on a
schedule which ensures that the problem does not lead to an
environmental or human health hazard. Where a hazard is imminent or has
already occurred, remedial action must be taken immediately.
(d) The owner or operator must record inspections in an inspection
log or summary. He must keep these records for at least three years from
the date of inspection. At a minimum, these records must include the
date and time of the inspection, the name of the inspector, a notation
of the observations made, and the date and nature of any repairs or
other remedial actions.

Sec. 264.18 Location standards.
(a) Seismic considerations. (1) Portions of new facilities where
treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste will be conducted
must not be located within 61 meters (200 feet) of a fault which has had
displacement in Holocene time.
(2) As used in paragraph (a)(1) of this section:
(i) ``Fault'' means a fracture along which rocks on one side have
been displaced with respect to those on the other side.
(ii) ``Displacement'' means the relative movement of any two sides
of a fault measured in any direction.
(iii) ``Holocene'' means the most recent epoch of the Quarternary
period, extending from the end of the Pleistocene to the present.
[Comment: Procedures for demonstrating compliance with this standard in
part B of the permit application are specified in Sec. 270.14(b)(11).
Facilities which are located in political jurisdictions other than those
listed in appendix VI of this part, are assumed to be in compliance with
this requirement.]
(b) Floodplains. (1) A facility located in a 100-year floodplain
must be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to prevent
washout or any hazardous waste by a 100-year flood, unless the owner or
operator can demonstrate to the Regional Administrator's satisfaction
that:
(i) Procedures are in effect which will cause the waste to be
removed safely, before flood waters can reach the facility, to a
location where the wastes will not be vulnerable to flood waters; or
(ii) For existing surface impoundments, waste piles, land treatment
units, landfills, and miscellaneous units, no adverse effects on human
health or the environment will result if washout occurs, considering:
(A) The volume and physical and chemical characteristics of the
waste in the facility;
(B) The concentration of hazardous constituents that would
potentially affect surface waters as a result of washout;
(C) The impact of such concentrations on the current or potential
uses of and water quality standards established for the affected surface
waters; and
(D) The impact of hazardous constituents on the sediments of
affected surface waters or the soils of the 100-
[[Page 159]]
year floodplain that could result from washout.
[Comment: The location where wastes are moved must be a facility which
is either permitted by EPA under part 270 of this chapter, authorized to
manage hazardous waste by a State with a hazardous waste management
program authorized under part 271 of this chapter, or in interim status
under parts 270 and 265 of this chapter.]
(2) As used in paragraph (b)(1) of this section:
(i) ``100-year floodplain'' means any land area which is subject to
a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year from any
source.
(ii) ``Washout'' means the movement of hazardous waste from the
active portion of the facility as a result of flooding.
(iii) ``100-year flood'' means a flood that has a one percent chance
of being equalled or exeeded in any given year.
[Comment: (1) Requirements pertaining to other Federal laws which affect
the location and permitting of facilities are found in Sec. 270.3 of
this chapter. For details relative to these laws, see EPA's manual for
SEA (special environmental area) requirements for hazardous waste
facility permits. Though EPA is responsible for complying with these
requirements, applicants are advised to consider them in planning the
location of a facility to help prevent subsequent project delays.]
(c) Salt dome formations, salt bed formations, underground mines and
caves. The placement of any noncontainerized or bulk liquid hazardous
waste in any salt dome formation, salt bed formation, underground mine
or cave is prohibited, except for the Department of Energy Waste
Isolation Pilot Project in New Mexico.

by reaching the facility within a short period of time) with the
responsibility for coordinating all emergency response measures. This
emergency coordinator must be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of
the facility's contingency
[[Page 163]]
plan, all operations and activities at the facility, the location and
characteristics of waste handled, the location of all records within the
facility, and the facility layout. In addition, this person must have
the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the
contingency plan.
[Comment: The emergency coordinator's responsibilities are more fully
spelled out in Sec. 264.56. Applicable responsibilities for the
emergency coordinator vary, depending on factors such as type and
variety of waste(s) handled by the facility, and type and complexity of
the facility.]
Sec. 264.56 Emergency procedures.
(a) Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the
emergency coordinator (or his designee when the emergency coordinator is
on call) must immediately:
(1) Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems,
where applicable, to notify all facility personnel; and
(2) Notify appropriate State or local agencies with designated
response roles if their help is needed.
(b) Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency
coordinator must immediately identify the character, exact source,
amount, and areal extent of any released materials. He may do this by
observation or review of facility records or manifests, and, if
necessary, by chemical analysis.
(c) Concurrently, the emergency coordinator must assess possible
hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the
release, fire, or explosion. This assessment must consider both direct
and indirect effects of the release, fire, or explosion (e.g., the
effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating gases that are
generated, or the effects of any hazardous surface water run-off from
water or chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced
explosions).
(d) If the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has
had a release, fire, or explosion which could threaten human health, or
the environment, outside the facility, he must report his findings as
follows:
(1) If his assessment indicates that evacuation of local areas may
be advisable, he must immediately notify appropriate local authorities.
He must be available to help appropriate officials decide whether local
areas should be evacuated; and
(2) He must immediately notify either the government official
designated as the on-scene coordinator for that geographical area, (in
the applicable regional contingency plan under part 1510 of this title)
or the National Response Center (using their 24-hour toll free number
800/424-8802). The report must include:
(i) Name and telephone number of reporter;
(ii) Name and address of facility;
(iii) Time and type of incident (e.g., release, fire);
(iv) Name and quantity of material(s) involved, to the extent known;
(v) The extent of injuries, if any; and
(vi) The possible hazards to human health, or the environment,
outside the facility.
(e) During an emergency, the emergency coordinator must take all
reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and
releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other hazardous waste at the
facility. These measures must include, where applicable, stopping
processes and operations, collecting and containing release waste, and
removing or isolating containers.
(f) If the facility stops operations in response to a fire,
explosion, or release, the emergency coordinator must monitor for leaks,
pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or other
equipment, wherever this is appropriate.
(g) Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator must
provide for treating, storing, or disposing of recovered waste,
contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results
from a release, fire, or explosion at the facility.
[Comment: Unless the owner or operator can demonstrate, in accordance
with Sec. 261.3(c) or (d) of this chapter, that the recovered material
is not a hazardous waste, the owner or operator becomes a generator of
hazardous waste and must manage it in accordance with all applicable
requirements of parts 262, 263, and 264 of this chapter.]
[[Page 164]]
(h) The emergency coordinator must ensure that, in the affected
area(s) of the facility:
(1) No waste that may be incompatible with the released material is
treated, stored, or disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed;
and
(2) All emergency equipment listed in the contingency plan is
cleaned and fit for its intended use before operations are resumed.
(i) The owner or operator must notify the Regional Administrator,
and appropriate State and local authorities, that the facility is in
compliance with paragraph (h) of this section before operations are
resumed in the affected area(s) of the facility.
(j) The owner or operator must note in the operating record the
time, date, and details of any incident that requires implementing the
contingency plan. Within 15 days after the incident, he must submit a
written report on the incident to the Regional Administrator. The report
must include:
(1) Name, address, and telephone number of the owner or operator;
(2) Name, address, and telephone number of the facility;
(3) Date, time, and type of incident (e.g., fire, explosion);
(4) Name and quantity of material(s) involved;

Subpart E--Manifest System, Recordkeeping, and Reporting
Sec. 264.70 Applicability.
The regulations in this subpart apply to owners and operators of
both on-site and off-site facilities, except as Sec. 264.1 provides
otherwise. Sections 264.71, 264.72, and 264.76 do not apply to owners
and operators of on-site facilities that do not receive any hazardous
waste from off-site sources. Section 264.73(b) only applies to
permittees who treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes on-site
where such wastes were generated.
[50 FR 28746, July 15, 1985]
Sec. 264.71 Use of manifest system.
(a) If a facility receives hazardous waste accompanied by a
manifest, the owner or operator, or his agent, must:
(1) Sign and date each copy of the manifest to certify that the
hazardous waste covered by the manifest was received;
(2) Note any significant discrepancies in the manifest (as defined
in Sec. 264.72(a)) on each copy of the manifest;
[Comment: The Agency does not intend that the owner or operator of a
facility whose procedures under Sec. 264.13(c) include waste analysis
must perform that analysis before signing the manifest and giving it to
the transporter. Section 264.72(b), however, requires reporting an
unreconciled discrepancy discovered during later analysis.]
(3) Immediately give the transporter at least one copy of the signed
manifest;
(4) Within 30 days after the delivery, send a copy of the manifest
to the generator; and
(5) Retain at the facility a copy of each manifest for at least
three years from the date of delivery.
(b) If a facility receives, from a rail or water (bulk shipment)
transporter, hazardous waste which is accompanied by a shipping paper
containing all the information required on the manifest (excluding the
EPA identification numbers, generator's certification, and signatures),
the owner or operator, or his agent, must:
(1) Sign and date each copy of the manifest or shipping paper (if
the manifest has not been received) to certify that the hazardous waste
covered by the manifest or shipping paper was received;
(2) Note any significant discrepancies (as defined in
Sec. 264.72(a)) in the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest
[[Page 165]]
has not been received) on each copy of the manifest or shipping paper.
[Comment: The Agency does not intend that the owner or operator of a
facility whose procedures under Sec. 264.13(c) include waste analysis
must perform that analysis before signing the shipping paper and giving
it to the transporter. Section 264.72(b), however, requires reporting an
unreconciled discrepancy discovered during later analysis.]
(3) Immediately give the rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter
at least one copy of the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has
not been received);
(4) Within 30 days after the delivery, send a copy of the signed and
dated manifest to the generator; however, if the manifest has not been
received within 30 days after delivery, the owner or operator, or his
agent, must send a copy of the shipping paper signed and dated to the
generator; and
[Comment: Section 262.23(c) of this chapter requires the generator to
send three copies of the manifest to the facility when hazardous waste
is sent by rail or water (bulk shipment).]
(5) Retain at the facility a copy of the manifest and shipping paper
(if signed in lieu of the manifest at the time of delivery) for at least
three years from the date of delivery.
(c) Whenever a shipment of hazardous waste is initiated from a
facility, the owner or operator of that facility must comply with the
requirements of part 262 of this chapter.
[Comment: The provisions of Sec. 262.34 are applicable to the on-site
accumulation of hazardous wastes by generators. Therefore, the
provisions of Sec. 262.34 only apply to owners or operators who are
shipping hazardous waste which they generated at that facility.]
(d) Within three working days of the receipt of a shipment subject
to 40 CFR part 262, subpart H, the owner or operator of the facility
must provide a copy of the tracking document bearing all required
signatures to the notifier, to the Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance, Office of Compliance, Enforcement Planning, Targeting and
Data Division (2222A), Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW.,
Washington, DC 20460, and to competent authorities of all other
concerned countries. The original copy of the tracking document must be
maintained at the facility for at least three years from the date of
signature.

1980; 61 FR 16315, Apr. 12, 1996]
Effective Date Note: At 61 FR 16315, Apr. 12, 1996, Sec. 264.71(d)
was added, effective July 11, 1996.
Sec. 264.72 Manifest discrepancies.
(a) Manifest discrepancies are differences between the quantity or
type of hazardous waste designated on the manifest or shipping paper,
and the quantity or type of hazardous waste a facility actually
receives. Significant discrepancies in quantity are:
(1) For bulk waste, variations greater than 10 percent in weight,
and (2) for batch waste, any variation in piece count, such as a
discrepancy of one drum in a truckload. Significant discrepancies in
type are obvious differences which can be discovered by inspection or
waste analysis, such as waste solvent substituted for waste acid, or
toxic constituents not reported on the manifest or shipping paper.
(b) Upon discovering a significant discrepancy, the owner or
operator must attempt to reconcile the discrepancy with the waste
generator or transporter (e.g., with telephone conversations). If the
discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after receiving the waste,
the owner or operator must immediately submit to the Regional
Administrator a letter describing the discrepancy and attempts to
reconcile it, and a copy of the manifest or shipping paper at issue.
[45 FR 33221, May 19, 1980, as amended at 50 FR 4514, Jan. 31, 1985]

Sec. 264.76 Unmanifested waste report.
If a facility accepts for treatment, storage, or disposal any
hazardous waste from an off-site source without an accompanying
manifest, or without an accompanying shipping paper as described in
Sec. 263.20(e)(2) of this chapter, and if the waste is not excluded from
the manifest requirement by Sec. 261.5 of this chapter, then the owner
or operator must prepare and submit a single copy of a report to the
Regional Administrator within fifteen days after receiving the waste.
The unmanifested waste report must be submitted on EPA form 8700-13B.
Such report must
[[Page 168]]
be designated `Unmanifested Waste Report' and include the following
information:
(a) The EPA identification number, name, and address of the
facility;
(b) The date the facility received the waste;
(c) The EPA identification number, name, and address of the
generator and the transporter, if available;
(d) A description and the quantity of each unmanifested hazardous
waste and facility received;
(e) The method of treatment, storage, or disposal for each hazardous
waste;
(f) The certification signed by the owner or operator of the
facility or his authorized representative; and
(g) A brief explanation of why the waste was unmanifested, if known.
[Comment: Small quantities of hazardous waste are excluded from
regulation under this part and do not require a manifest. Where a
facility receives unmanifested hazardous wastes, the Agency suggests
that the owner or operator obtain from each generator a certification
that the waste qualifies for exclusion. Otherwise, the Agency suggests
that the owner or operator file an unmanifested waste report for the
hazardous waste movement.]
