Attn Richard J Chalpin Deputy Regional Enviornmental Engineer

Re Woburn - ERB-N87-999

Dear Sir -J

As you stated in your letter of August 14 1987 an incident occured on our premises on July 23 1987 which caused our company to become involved uith your agency

Per your request the information you seek is as follousa

1 A quantity of three lt3gt gallons of AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION ltNH40H amp H20gt was dispensed into a storm drain adJacent to our receiving dock by two of my employees at approKimately 500 PM on the aforementioned date They were disposing of liquid left in leaky container bottles and operating under the impression that since the ammonia is a water soluble substance suitably diluted it posed no har~ to the atmosphere

2 Acting upon the directive from your agency Clean Harbor pumped the middotdorm drain of 650 ltsh hundred fifty) gal 1 ons of liquid and presumably disposed of it in a proper manner thus ending any thraat

ln the future any nttd to dispose of same will be handled throuth the upplier a local concern that bottles this substance

3 As stated the three eallons of solution were the only substance involved and surely coupled wiih the actions described in lt2gt no long term threat e~ists

4 A copy of the manifest is attached A copy of an MSOS for this ~reduct is enclosed for your review as well

5 Prior to this incident 1 personally contacted the Woburn fire Department the OEQE the EPA and the Water Resources Authority 1 was attempting to vet clarification and advice on what is a proper means of disposal for this product ltAt that time my intent was to better advise our clientele on how to handle this substance after its use) 1 was referred in circular fashion from one group to another and was unable to get a definitive ansuer

Subsequent to the event 1 havt read all of the following Massachusetts Statutes

105CMR Appendix A substance list MGL Chapters 21C 210 21E 310CMR Section 30 314CMR Sections 1 - 15

1 do not wish to justify our actions nor question the agencys ruling However 1 middotwould like clarification of which criteria or statute the agency refers to in its assessment of this product and most particularly detailed instructions on proper disposal methods of small quantities

Consider the following 1 The ammonia sol uti on is not listed on the Substance List 105CMR

Attachment A Ammonia gas ltof a different CAS numbergt is listed

2 The same is true of 42USC Section 9601lt14gt bull bull

3 The substance h not 1h ted as a toxic pollutant in 314CMR 316 Appendix B

4 The solution in question has a Ph of 116 thus not meetint finition of corrosive waste as specified in 310CMR 30123slt1gtbull ~~~~~

c -- bull r ~ ~middot Sbullmiddot

The solution is not unlike household ammonia except in terms of its content ration Thus uoul d it qua 1i fy bull~ hounho 1 d uaste [310CMR30104(6)J

One alsc ~ight argue since the amount in questio~ uas less than 20kE p~rtaH it i~ unregulated classifying as insignificant uastes t310CMR 30 bull 353 I ( 1) J

Certainly the regulations are a source of confusion to the lay person Compounding this problem is the lack of one central advisory source to obtain needed information

1 regret that our actions caused our paths to cross but 1 uould appreciate a definitive statement relative to the substance it~elf and its proper disposal

Charrette is an ecologically minded company that strives to be a r4r onsible member of the business community as uell as a good neighbor t ur friends middotin IJoburn

1 look foruard to your earliest reply

Sincerely

Attn Richard J Chalpin Deputy Regional Enviornmental Engineer

Re Woburn - ERB-N87-999

Dear Sir -J

As you stated in your letter of August 14 1987 an incident occured on our premises on July 23 1987 which caused our company to become involved uith your agency

Per your request the information you seek is as follousa

1 A quantity of three lt3gt gallons of AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION ltNH40H amp H20gt was dispensed into a storm drain adJacent to our receiving dock by two of my employees at approKimately 500 PM on the aforementioned date They were disposing of liquid left in leaky container bottles and operating under the impression that since the ammonia is a water soluble substance suitably diluted it posed no har~ to the atmosphere

2 Acting upon the directive from your agency Clean Harbor pumped the middotdorm drain of 650 ltsh hundred fifty) gal 1 ons of liquid and presumably disposed of it in a proper manner thus ending any thraat

ln the future any nttd to dispose of same will be handled throuth the upplier a local concern that bottles this substance

3 As stated the three eallons of solution were the only substance involved and surely coupled wiih the actions described in lt2gt no long term threat e~ists

4 A copy of the manifest is attached A copy of an MSOS for this ~reduct is enclosed for your review as well

5 Prior to this incident 1 personally contacted the Woburn fire Department the OEQE the EPA and the Water Resources Authority 1 was attempting to vet clarification and advice on what is a proper means of disposal for this product ltAt that time my intent was to better advise our clientele on how to handle this substance after its use) 1 was referred in circular fashion from one group to another and was unable to get a definitive ansuer

Subsequent to the event 1 havt read all of the following Massachusetts Statutes

105CMR Appendix A substance list MGL Chapters 21C 210 21E 310CMR Section 30 314CMR Sections 1 - 15

1 do not wish to justify our actions nor question the agencys ruling However 1 middotwould like clarification of which criteria or statute the agency refers to in its assessment of this product and most particularly detailed instructions on proper disposal methods of small quantities

Consider the following 1 The ammonia sol uti on is not listed on the Substance List 105CMR

Attachment A Ammonia gas ltof a different CAS numbergt is listed

2 The same is true of 42USC Section 9601lt14gt bull bull

3 The substance h not 1h ted as a toxic pollutant in 314CMR 316 Appendix B

4 The solution in question has a Ph of 116 thus not meetint finition of corrosive waste as specified in 310CMR 30123slt1gtbull ~~~~~

c -- bull r ~ ~middot Sbullmiddot

The solution is not unlike household ammonia except in terms of its content ration Thus uoul d it qua 1i fy bull~ hounho 1 d uaste [310CMR30104(6)J

One alsc ~ight argue since the amount in questio~ uas less than 20kE p~rtaH it i~ unregulated classifying as insignificant uastes t310CMR 30 bull 353 I ( 1) J

Certainly the regulations are a source of confusion to the lay person Compounding this problem is the lack of one central advisory source to obtain needed information

1 regret that our actions caused our paths to cross but 1 uould appreciate a definitive statement relative to the substance it~elf and its proper disposal

Charrette is an ecologically minded company that strives to be a r4r onsible member of the business community as uell as a good neighbor t ur friends middotin IJoburn

1 look foruard to your earliest reply

Sincerely

4 A copy of the manifest is attached A copy of an MSOS for this ~reduct is enclosed for your review as well

5 Prior to this incident 1 personally contacted the Woburn fire Department the OEQE the EPA and the Water Resources Authority 1 was attempting to vet clarification and advice on what is a proper means of disposal for this product ltAt that time my intent was to better advise our clientele on how to handle this substance after its use) 1 was referred in circular fashion from one group to another and was unable to get a definitive ansuer

Subsequent to the event 1 havt read all of the following Massachusetts Statutes

105CMR Appendix A substance list MGL Chapters 21C 210 21E 310CMR Section 30 314CMR Sections 1 - 15

1 do not wish to justify our actions nor question the agencys ruling However 1 middotwould like clarification of which criteria or statute the agency refers to in its assessment of this product and most particularly detailed instructions on proper disposal methods of small quantities

Consider the following 1 The ammonia sol uti on is not listed on the Substance List 105CMR

Attachment A Ammonia gas ltof a different CAS numbergt is listed

2 The same is true of 42USC Section 9601lt14gt bull bull

3 The substance h not 1h ted as a toxic pollutant in 314CMR 316 Appendix B

4 The solution in question has a Ph of 116 thus not meetint finition of corrosive waste as specified in 310CMR 30123slt1gtbull ~~~~~

The solution is not unlike household ammonia except in terms of its content ration Thus uoul d it qua 1i fy bull~ hounho 1 d uaste [310CMR30104(6)J

One alsc ~ight argue since the amount in questio~ uas less than 20kE p~rtaH it i~ unregulated classifying as insignificant uastes t310CMR 30 bull 353 I ( 1) J

Certainly the regulations are a source of confusion to the lay person Compounding this problem is the lack of one central advisory source to obtain needed information

1 regret that our actions caused our paths to cross but 1 uould appreciate a definitive statement relative to the substance it~elf and its proper disposal

Charrette is an ecologically minded company that strives to be a r4r onsible member of the business community as uell as a good neighbor t ur friends middotin IJoburn
