SECTION 4

HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT

U.S. TEAM Guide, March 2009

A. Applicability

This section applies to facilities and activities that generate, store, transport, treat, or dispose of any type of hazardous waste. This section and its associated checklists are more complex than other sections in this volume. Not all checklist items will be applicable to a given facility or activity. Guidance is provided on the checklists to direct the assessor to the regulations concerning the type of hazardous waste activities/facilities at the facility or activity. Information on hazardous waste storage tanks is in the section titled Storage Tank Management.

Assessors are required to review state and local regulations and, if applicable, the appropriate Agency Supplement, to perform a comprehensive assessment.

Select portions of this section (i.e., Review of Federal Legislation, State and Local Regulations, Key Compliance Requirements, Key Terms and Definitions, Typical Records to Review, Typical Physical Features to Inspect, and the Checklist) have been reviewed by USEPA personnel from the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and USEPA's Office of General Counsel. USEPA's comments and suggestions for changes have been incorporated in this version of the TEAM Guide. USEPA did not review all portions of this section. USEPA also did not review and comment on items pertaining to federal Executive Orders, DOT regulations, OSHA regulations or any other area outside of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Portions that have been added or revised as a result of this review are identified as being reviewed, revised or added in March 2000 or October 2001, for example [Added March 2000].

B. Federal Legislation

• The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). RCRA of 1976, which amended the Solid Waste Disposal Act, addresses nonhazardous (Subtitle D) and hazardous (Subtitle C) waste management activities. The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984 strengthened RCRA’s waste management provisions and added Subtitle I, which governs underground storage tanks (USTs). This section addresses Subtitle C requirements. See Solid Waste Management for Subtitle D requirements and Storage Tank Management for Subtitle I requirements [Revised March 2000].

Regulations promulgated pursuant to Subtitle C of RCRA (40 CFR 260 through 299) establish a “cradle-to-grave” system governing hazardous waste from the point of generation to disposal. RCRA hazardous wastes include the specific materials listed in the regulations (commercial chemical products designated with the code "P" or "U", hazardous wastes from specific industries/sources designated with the code "K", or hazardous wastes from non-specific sources, designated with the code "F") or materials that exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity and designated with the code "D").

4 - 1Hazardous Waste

Regulated entities that generate hazardous waste are subject to waste accumulation, manifesting, and record keeping standards. Facilities generally must obtain a permit either from USEPA or from a state agency that USEPA has authorized to implement the permitting program if they store hazardous wastes for more than 90 days before treatment or disposal. Facilities may operate less- than-90-day tanks or containers of hazardous wastes without a permit. Subtitle C permits contain general facility standards, such as contingency plans, emergency procedures, record keeping and reporting requirements, financial assurance mechanisms, and unit-specific standards. RCRA also contains provisions (40 CFR 264, Subpart S and Section 264.101) for conducting corrective actions that govern the cleanup of releases of hazardous waste or constituents from solid waste management units at RCRA treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.

Many operations and organizations may have numerous operations that result in the generation and management of different types of solid and hazardous waste. These operations may be subject to specific parts of RCRA, depending on the type of waste generated, its management (e.g., stored, transported), and its disposal. Most RCRA requirements are not industry specific but apply to any entity that generates, transports, treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste. The following are some important RCRA regulatory requirements:

Identification of Solid and Hazardous Wastes (40 CFR 261) delineates the procedure every generator must follow in determining whether the material in question is considered a hazardous waste or solid waste or is exempted from regulation.

Standards for Generators of Hazardous Waste (40 CFR 262) establish the responsibilities of hazardous waste generators. These include obtaining a USEPA identification number, preparing a manifest, ensuring proper packaging and labeling, meeting standards for waste accumulation units, and meeting record keeping and reporting requirements. Providing they meet additional requirements described in 40 CFR 262.34, generators may accumulate hazardous waste for up to 90 days (or 180 or 270 days depending on the amount of waste generated and the distance the waste will be transported).

Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) (40 CFR 268) are regulations prohibiting the disposal of hazardous waste on land without prior treatment. Under the LDR program, materials must meet LDR treatment standards prior to placement in a RCRA land disposal unit (landfill, land treatment unit, waste pile, or surface impoundment). Generators of waste subject to the LDR must provide notification of such to the designated TSD facility to ensure proper treatment prior to disposal.

Used Oil Management Standards (40 CFR 279) impose management requirements affecting the storage, transportation, burning, processing, and re-refining of the used oil. For parties that merely generate used oil, regulations establish storage standards. For a party considered a used oil processor, re-refiner, burner, or marketer (one who generates and sells off-specification used oil directly to a used oil burner), additional tracking and paperwork requirements must be satisfied. These requirements are addressed in the section titled POL Management.

Tanks and Containers, as well as any unit, used to store, treat, or dispose of hazardous waste, are regulated under RCRA. Tanks and containers used to store hazardous waste with a high volatile organic concentration must meet emission standards under RCRA. Regulations (40 CFR 264-265,


Subpart CC) require generators to test the waste to determine the concentration of the waste, to satisfy tank and container emissions standards, and to inspect and monitor regulated units. These regulations apply to all facilities that store such waste, including large quantity generators accumulating waste prior to shipment off-site. Storage tanks are addressed in the section titled Storage Tank Management.

Boilers and Industrial Furnaces (BIFs) that use or burn fuel containing hazardous waste must comply with design and operating standards. BIF regulations (40 CFR 266, Subpart H) address unit design, provide performance standards, require emissions monitoring, and restrict the type of waste that may be burned.

• The Federal Facility Compliance Act (FFCA) of 1992. This act provides for a waiver of sovereign immunity with respect to Federal, state, and local procedural and substantive requirements relating to RCRA solid and hazardous waste laws and regulations. Additionally, it defines hazardous waste in relation to public vessels, expands the definition of mixed waste, addresses the issue of munitions, and discusses waste discharges to Federally owned treatment works (FOTWs).

• EO 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards. This EO, dated 13 October 1978, requires Federally owned and operated facilities to comply with applicable Federal, state, and local pollution control standards. It makes the head of each executive agency responsible for ensuring that the agencies, facilities, programs, and activities the Agency funds meet applicable Federal, state, and local environmental requirements for correcting situations that are not in compliance with such requirements. In addition, the EO requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental compliance are included in the agency budget. Sections 1-4, “Pollution Control Plan” was revoked by EO 13148 [Revised October 2002].

C. State/Local Regulations

For information on regulations in specific states, see the State Supplements to TEAM Guide.

Under RCRA, USEPA may authorize a State or Territory, instead of the Federal government, to administer and enforce RCRA, including waste military munitions (WMM). While the regulations adopted by a State or Territory have to be at least as stringent as the Federal regulations, RCRA allows States and Territories to impose standards that are more stringent than those in the Federal program. Therefore, compliance requirements may differ from State to State or Territory. The definitions of when military munitions become WMM and the Designated Disposition Authority (DDA) Evaluation Process apply at all activities. These requirements are not dependent upon a State or Territory’s adoption of the Federal MR or adoption of other State or Territory standards [Revised January 2003].

D. Key Compliance Requirements

• Generator Requirements - Responsibilities are based on the amount of waste being generated in 1 mo. Typical wastes include solvents, paint, contaminated antifreeze or oil, and sludges. In some states, waste oil and other


substances have been classified as a hazardous waste and therefore need to be included in the total amount of waste being generated. Within Federal regulations there are three classifications:

1. A conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG) produces no more than 100 kg [approx. 220 lb] of hazardous waste and no more than 1 kg [approx. 2 lb] of acute hazardous waste in any calendar month. They cannot generate more than 100 kg [approx. 220 lb] in one month of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris from the clean up of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes. They also do not accumulate onsite more than 1000 kg [approx. 2205 lb] of hazardous waste and no more than 1 kg [approx. 2 lb] of acute hazardous waste at any one time. When either the volume of waste produced in 1 mo exceeds 100 kg [approx. 220 lb] of nonacutely hazardous waste or more than 1 kg [approx. 2 lb] of acutely hazardous waste or more than 1000 kg [approx. 2205 lb] of waste has accumulated onsite, the CESQG is required to comply with the more stringent standards applicable to a small quantity generator (SQG) or a Generator.

2. An SQG produces between 100 [approx. 220 lb] and 1000 kg [approx. 2205 lb] of hazardous waste and no more than 1 kg [approx. 2 lb] acute hazardous waste in any calendar month. They cannot generate more than 100 kg [approx. 220 lb] in one month of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris from the clean up of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes. The waste cannot accumulate onsite for more than 180 days unless the waste must be transported more than 200 mi to a treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSDF). In that situation, the waste can accumulate for 270 days. But at no time is there to be more than 6000 kg [approx. 13,228 lb] of waste accumulated at the SQG. When the accumulation time onsite is exceeded, or more than 6000 kg [approx. 13,228 lb] of waste is onsite, the SQG is required to obtain a permit and comply with the standards in 40 CFR 264 and 265.

3. A Generator produces 1000 kg [approx. 2205 lb] or more of hazardous waste or more than 1 kg [approx. 2 lb] acute hazardous waste in any calendar month. This classification is sometimes referred to as a large quantity generator.

(NOTE: Using water, which weighs 8.34 lb/gal, as a basis of measurement, 100 kg [approx. 220 lb] would equal 27 gal and 1000 kg [approx. 2205 lb] would equal approx. 265 gal.)

Whether the facility is a CESQG, an SQG, or a Generator determines the type of records they are required to keep and design standards for storage areas. Storage areas connected with a generation point are often referred to as a satellite accumulation points.

Regardless of the amount of hazardous waste generated, every facility is required to test or use knowledge of materials or processes used to determine if it is a listed hazardous waste or has hazardous characteristics.

Use Manifests No Yes* Yes

* Unless the waste is reclaimed under contractual agreement and properly marked and labeled.

• Transport Requirements - Containers of hazardous waste shipped offsite must be labeled to identify the waste and its hazard class. Transporters of hazardous waste required to be manifested must have an USEPA identification number and must comply with manifest management requirements.

• Accumulation Point Management - An accumulation point is an area where hazardous waste is accumulated or stored before being turned in for disposal. Storage in these areas is temporary, and the permissible length of time for accumulation depends on generator classification.

• Satellite Accumulation Point Management - A satellite accumulation point is an area at which no more than 55 gal of a hazardous waste or 1 qt of acute hazardous waste is accumulated at or near the point of generation. The satellite accumulation point is under the control of one operator of the process generating the waste. When the 55 gal limit is reached the operator has 3 days to move the waste to a 90-day storage area or a permitted TSDF. These standards only apply to an SQG or a Generator.


• Universal Wastes - These requirements apply to batteries, pesticides, and thermostats as defined in 40 CFR 273. They are alternate standards for the handling of these wastes instead of the requirements found in 40 CFR 260 through 272. Handlers can be classified as either a large quantity handler of universal waste (5000 kg [ 11,111 lb] or more in 1 yr) or a small quantity handler of universal waste (less than 5000 kg [ 11,111 lb] in 1 yr). Depending on classification, the handler has to meet requirements concerning management of the waste, marking and labeling, notifications, and transportation. Additionally, there are standards for universal waste transporters and universal waste destination facilities (40 CFR 273). These regulations are only effective upon adoption by the state RCRA program, except in those areas without an authorized program.

• Permitted TSDF Requirements - The operation of a TSDF is subject to regulation and permitting under Federal and state regulations. These regulations are both administrative and technical in nature. The administrative standards require that various plans be developed to ensure that emergencies can be dealt with, waste received is properly identified, and operating personnel are adequately trained to operate the TSDF and respond to emergencies. These administrative standards also include requirements that the TSDF be inspected routinely, records of operations are compiled and maintained, and reports of both routine and contingency operations are made to the applicable regulatory agency. The administrative standards also require that a plan for ceasing operations and closing the TSDF be developed, kept on hand, and updated frequently.

The technical standards that are applicable to TSDFs fall into two classes: general standards that apply to all TSDFs and specific standards that apply to various types of facilities, i.e., container storage areas, tanks, containment buildings, surface impoundments, waste piles, land treatment facilities, incinerators, landfills, thermal treatment facilities, and chemical, physical, and biological treatment facilities.

Administrative and technical standards are applied to a particular facility through a RCRA permit issued to a facility. Existing TSDFs that have applied for a permit but not yet been issued a RCRA permit are considered to be in interim status if they applied for a part A and part B permit and can continue to operate if they comply with the RCRA mandated interim status standards (ISS) of 40 CFR 265 (interim status standards for owners and operators of hazardous waste TSDF).

• Ordnance - Under the provisions of 40 CFR 261.23(a)(6) through 261.23(a)(8) ordnance is classified as a reactive hazardous waste. The open burning and detonation (OB/OD) of waste explosives is allowed at interim status TSDFs as long as a minimum distance is kept from the property line of the property of others. The length of this distance is based on the amount of explosive being OB/OD. For permitted TSDFs, OB/OD activities are regulated by permit to operate a miscellaneous unit. This is often referred to as a Subpart X permit.

E. Key Compliance Definitions

• Acknowledgement of Consent - the cable sent to the USEPA from the U.S. Embassy in a receiving country that acknowledges the written consent of the receiving country to accept the hazardous waste and describes the terms and conditions of the receiving country's consent to the shipment (40 CFR 262.51) [Added October 2001].

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 (40 CFR 260.10 and 273.9) [Reviewed October 2001].

In relation to the concept of universal wastes, this term includes all batteries except the following (40 CFR 273.2(b)):

1. spent lead acid batteries that are managed under 40 CFR 266, Subpart G (reclamation of spent lead acid batteries that are recyclable)

2. batteries as defined above that are not yet wastes under 40 CFR 261, including those that do not meet the criteria for waste generation (see definition of Waste Battery)

3. batteries as defined above that are not hazardous waste. A battery is a hazardous waste if it exhibits one or more of the characteristics identified in 40 CFR 261, Subpart C [Revised October 1999, Reviewed March 2000].

See also the definition of waste battery.

• Boiler - an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion and having the following characteristics (40 CFR 260.10) [Revised October 2001]:


1. The unit has physical provisions for recovering and exporting thermal energy in the form of steam, heated fluids, or heated gases; and

2. The unit's combustion chamber and primary energy recovery section(s) must be of integral design; and3. While in operation the unit maintains a thermal energy recovery efficiency of at least 60 percent; and4. The unit has been approved by the Administrator of USEPA; and5. The unit must export and utilize at least 75% of the recovered energy (40 CFR 260.10).

HW.10.

ALL SIZES OF GENERATORS

HW.10.1.US. Generators of solid waste must determine if the wastes are hazardous wastes (40 CFR 260.34(a), 261.3, 261.4(b), 261.21 through 261.24, and 262.11) [Revised January 2000; Revised October 2001; Revised January 2002; Revised January 2003; Revised January 2009].

(NOTE: See Appendix 4-0 for a list of items which are not considered solid waste and therefore do not have to go through the determination process under Federal regulations.)

(NOTE: Determination of whether or not a waste is a hazardous waste can be done through one of the following:

knowledge of all the constituents of the waste (MSDSs) and whether it is listed in 40 CFR 261

laboratory analysis knowledge of processes and/or materials used.)

(NOTE: Unidentified waste materials and spilled hazardous materials may have to be disposed of as hazardous waste depending on their constituents or characteristics.)

(NOTE: A facility may apply to the Administrator for a formal determination that a hazardous secondary material [see definitions] is not discarded and therefore not a solid waste.)

(NOTE: Some batteries, pesticides, thermostats, and mercury lamps may be considered universal wastes instead of hazardous wastes and need to be handled according to the requirements in 40 CFR 273 (see the appropriate definitions for clarification.))Discuss with staff how wastes generated are identified and classified.

Determine if USEPA criteria were followed for identifying the characteristics of hazardous waste and USEPA’s listed wastes in 40 CFR 261 (see Appendices 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, and 4-5).

Determine whether the facility generates, transports, treats, stores, or disposes of any hazardous waste (see Appendices 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, and 4-5 for guidance, note

checklist. This is referred to as a “storage and treatment conditional exemption”.)

Verify that LLMW managed under a storage and treatment conditional exemption is generated and managed by the facility under a single NRC or NRC Agreement State license.

(NOTE: Mixed waste generated at a facility with a different license number and shipped to a facility for storage or treatment requires a permit and is ineligible for this exemption. In addition, NARM waste is ineligible this exemption.)

Verify that a facility with LLMW managed under a storage and treatment conditional exemption notifies the USEPA in writing by certified delivery that the facility is claiming a conditional exemption for the LLMW stored on the facility.

Verify that notification has been made or is made within 90 days of when a storage unit is first used to store conditionally exempt LLMW.

Verify that the dated notification includes the facility name, address, RCRA identification number, NRC or NRC Agreement State license number, the waste code(s) and storage unit(s) for which an exemption is sought, and a statement that the facility meets the conditions of this checklist item.

Verify that the notification is signed by the authorized representative who certifies that the information in the notification is true, accurate, and complete.

Verify that, to qualify for and maintain an exemption for LLMW, the facility:

stores LLMW waste in tanks or containers in compliance with the requirements of the facility’s license requirements that apply to the proper storage of low-level radioactive waste (not including those license requirements that relate solely to recordkeeping)

stores LLMW in tanks or containers in compliance with chemical compatibility requirements of a tank or container in 40 CFR 264.177, 264.199, or 40 CFR 265.177, 265.199 (see checklist items HW.115.5.US and HW.170.5.US)

certifies that facility personnel who manage stored conditionally exempt



U.S. TEAM Guide



LLMW are trained in a manner that ensures that the conditionally exempt waste is safely managed and includes training in chemical waste management and hazardous materials incidents response that meets the personnel training standards found in 40 CFR 265.16(a)(3) (see checklist item HW.110.1.US)

conducts an inventory of the stored conditionally exempt LLMW at least annually and inspects it at least quarterly for compliance

maintains an accurate emergency plan and provides it to all local authorities who may have to respond to a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents.

Verify that the emergency plan describes emergency response arrangements with local authorities; describes evacuation plans; lists the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all facility personnel qualified to work with local authorities as emergency coordinators; and lists emergency equipment. Verify that, if an LLMW managed under a storage and treatment conditional exemption is treated at the facility, it is done in a tank or container in accordance with the terms of the NRC or NRC Agreement State license.

(NOTE: Treatment that cannot be done in a tank or container without a RCRA permit [such as incineration] is not allowed under this conditional exemption.)

Verify that, if the LLMW loses the exemption, the facility immediately manages that waste which failed the condition as RCRA hazardous waste, and the storage unit storing the LLMW immediately becomes subject to RCRA hazardous waste container and/or tank storage requirements.

Verify that, if the LLMW loses the exemption, a report is submitted to the USEPA and the NRC, or the oversight agency in the NRC Agreement State, in writing by certified delivery within 30 days of learning of the failure.

Verify that the report of LLMW conditional exemption loss is signed by the authorized representative certifying that the information provided is true, accurate, and complete, and the report includes:

the specific condition(s) which were not met a description of the LLMW (including the waste name, hazardous waste



U.S. TEAM Guide



codes, and quantity) and storage location at the facility the date(s) on which the facility failed to meet the condition(s).

Verify that, if the failure to meet any of the conditions for LLMW conditional exemption may endanger human health or the environment, the facility immediately notifies the USEPA orally within 24 h and follows up with a written notification within 5 days.

(NOTE: Failures that may endanger human health or the environment include, but are not limited to, discharge of a CERCLA reportable quantity or other leaking or exploding tanks or containers, or detection of radionuclides above background or hazardous constituents in the leachate collection system of a storage area.)

Verify that, if the failure to meet any of the conditions for LLMW conditional exemption may endanger human health or the environment, the facility follows the provisions of the emergency plan.

Verify that, in addition to records required by the facility’s NRC or NRC Agreement State license, the following records are kept:

initial notification records, return receipts, reports to USEPA of failure(s) to meet the exemption conditions, and all records supporting any reclaim of an exemption

records of LLMW annual inventories and quarterly inspections certification that facility personnel who manage stored mixed waste are

trained in safe management of LLMW including training in chemical waste management and hazardous materials incidents response

the facility emergency plan.

Verify that records concerning notification, personnel trained, and the emergency plan are maintained for as long as the exemption is claimed and for 3 yr thereafter, or in accordance with NRC regulations under 10 CFR 20 (or equivalent NRC Agreement State regulations), whichever is longer.

Verify that records concerning annual inventory and quarterly inspections are maintained for 3 yr after the waste is sent for disposal, or in accordance with NRC regulations under 10 CFR 20 (or equivalent NRC Agreement State



U.S. TEAM Guide



regulations), whichever is longer.

(NOTE: When LLMW has met the requirements of the facility NRC or NRC Agreement State license for decay-in-storage and can be disposed of as non-radioactive waste, then the conditional exemption for storage no longer applies. On that date the waste is subject to hazardous waste regulation under the relevant sections of 40 CFR 260 through 271, and the time period for accumulation of a hazardous waste begins.)

(NOTE: When conditionally exempt LLMW which has been generated and stored under a single NRC or NRC Agreement State license number is removed from storage, it is no longer eligible for the storage and treatment exemption. However, the waste may be eligible for the transportation and disposal conditional exemption at 40 CFR 266.305 [see checklist item HW.100.8.US].)

HW.10.6.US. Recyclable materials used in a manner constituting disposal must be done according to specific parameters (40 CFR 266.20 through 266.23) [Added April 2003; Moved January 2004].

(NOTE: This was formerly checklist item SO.25.5.US.)

(NOTE: This checklist applies to recyclable materials that are applied to or placed on the land in either of the following ways:

without mixing with any other substance(s) after mixing or combination with any other substance(s).

These materials will be referred to throughout this subpart as “materials used in a manner that constitutes disposal.”)

(NOTE: Products produced for the general public's use that are used in a manner that constitutes disposal and that contain recyclable materials are not presently subject to regulation if the recyclable materials have undergone a chemical reaction in the course of producing the products so as to become inseparable by physical means and if such products meet the applicable treatment standards in subpart D of 40 CFR 268 [or applicable prohibition levels in 40 CFR 268.32 or RCRA section 3004(d), where no treatment standards have been established] for each recyclable material [i.e., hazardous waste] that they contain.)

(NOTE: Commercial fertilizers that are produced for the general public's use and contain recyclable materials also are not presently subject to regulation provided they meet these same treatment standards or prohibition levels for each recyclable material that they contain. However, zinc-containing fertilizers using hazardous waste K061 that are produced for the general public's use are not



U.S. TEAM Guide



presently subject to regulation.)

(NOTE: Anti-skid/deicing uses of slags, which are generated from high temperature metals recovery (HTMR) processing of hazardous waste K061, K062, and F006, in a manner constituting disposal, are subject to regulation.)

Verify that generators and transporters of materials that are used in a manner that constitutes disposal meet the applicable requirements of 40 CFR 262 and 263, and the notification requirement under section 3010 of RCRA (see the checklist items for managing hazardous waste as a generator [CESQG, SQG, or LQG] and/or transporter of hazardous waste in the Hazardous Waste Management section of the U.S. TEAM Guide.)

(NOTE: Owners or operators of facilities that store recyclable materials that are to be used in a manner that constitutes disposal, but who are not the ultimate users of the materials, are regulated under all applicable provisions of subparts A through L of parts 40 CFR 264 and 265 and 40 CFR 270 and 40 CFR 124 and the notification requirement under section 3010 of RCRA.

(NOTE: Owners or operators of facilities that use recyclable materials in a manner that constitutes disposal are regulated under all applicable provisions of subparts A through N of 40 CFR 124, 264, 265, 268, and 270 and the notification requirement under section 3010 of RCRA.)

HW.10.7.US. Recyclable materials reclaimed to recover economically significant amounts of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, or any combination of these must be managed according to specific parameters (40 CFR 266.70) [Added April 2003; Moved January 2004].

(NOTE: This was formerly checklist item SO.25.6.US.)

Verify that persons who generate, transport, or store recyclable materials reclaimed to recover economically significant amounts of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, or any combination of these, meet the following:

notification requirements under section 3010 of RCRA manifesting requirements for hazardous waste generators, transporters,

or storers as appropriate (see the U.S. TEAM Guide Hazardous Waste Management section.)

for precious metals exported to or imported from designated OECD member countries for recovery requirements for transfrontier shipments of hazardous waste for



U.S. TEAM Guide



recovery in the OECD (see checklist items HW. In the U.S. TEAM Guide Hazardous Waste Management section)

notification requirements in 40 CFR 265.12 (see checklist items HW.145.10.US. in the U.S. TEAM Guide Hazardous Waste Management section)

for precious metals exported to or imported from non-OECD countries for recovery, 40 CFR 262.50 through 262.60 (see checklist items HW.265.1.US through HW.265.8.US in the U.S. TEAM Guide Hazardous Waste Management section).

Verify that persons who store recycled materials that are regulated under this checklist item keep the following records to document that they are not accumulating these materials speculatively:

records showing the volume of these materials stored at the beginning of the calendar year

the amount of these materials generated or received during the calendar year

the amount of materials remaining at the end of the calendar year.

(NOTE: 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 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.)

Verify that recyclable materials regulated under this checklist item that are accumulated speculatively meet all applicable provisions of 40 CFR 262 through 265, 270, and 124 (see the Hazardous Waste Management section of the U.S.

(NOTE: A mobile treatment unit (MTU) may qualify as a testing facility subject to the above Verify statement. Where a group of MTUs are located at the same site, the above limitations apply to the entire group of MTUs collectively as if the group were one MTU.)

HW.10.9.US. Used, broken CRTs are not considered solid waste, and so not handled as hazardous waste, if certain conditions are met (40 CFR 261.39(a)) [Added July 2006].

Verify that, in order for used, broken CRTs to not be classified as solid wastes prior to processing if they are destined for recycling, broken CRTs must be either:

stored in a building with a roof, floor, and walls placed in a container (i.e., a package or a vehicle) that is constructed, filled,

and closed to minimize releases to the environment of CRT glass (including fine solid materials).

Verify that each container in which the used, broken CRT is contained is labeled or marked clearly with one of the following phrases:

used cathode ray tube(s)-contains leaded glass leaded glass from televisions or computers.

Verify that each container in which the used, broken CRT is contained is labeled or marked clearly “Do not mix with other glass materials.”

(NOTE: The used, broken CRTs are subject to the limitations on speculative accumulation. If they are used in a manner constituting disposal, they must comply with the applicable requirements of 40 CFR 266, subpart C instead of the requirements of this checklist item. 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.) Verify that exporters of used, broken CRTs also notify EPA, in writing, of an



U.S. TEAM Guide



intended export sixty (60) days before the initial shipment is intended to be shipped off-site of the following information:

name, mailing address, telephone number and EPA ID number (if applicable) of the exporter of the CRTs

the estimated frequency or rate at which the CRTs are to be exported and the period of time over which they are to be exported

the estimated total quantity of CRTs specified in kilograms all points of entry to and departure from each foreign country through

which the CRTs will pass a description of the means by which each shipment of the CRTs will be

transported (e.g., mode of transportation vehicle (air, highway, rail, water, etc.), type(s) of container (drums, boxes, tanks, etc.))

the name and address of the recycler and any alternate recycler a description of the manner in which the CRTs will be recycled in the

foreign country that will be receiving the CRTs the name of any transit country through which the CRTs will be sent and a

description of the approximate length of time the CRTs will remain in such country and the nature of their handling while there.

(NOTE: This notification may cover export activities extending over a 12 mo or lesser period.)

Verify that the notification is in writing and signed by the exporter.

Verify that notifications submitted by mail are sent to the following mailing address: Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Office of Federal Activities, International Compliance Assurance Division, (Mail Code 2254A), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460.

(NOTE: Hand-delivered notifications should be sent to: Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Office of Federal Activities, International Compliance Assurance Division, (Mail Code 2254A), Environmental Protection Agency, Ariel Rios Bldg., Room 6144, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC.)

Verify that, regardless of whether the mail or hand delivery is used, the



U.S. TEAM Guide



following is prominently displayed on the front of the envelope: “Attention: Notification of Intent to Export CRTs.”

(NOTE: Upon request by EPA, the exporter shall furnish to EPA any additional information which a receiving country requests in order to respond to a notification. EPA will provide a complete notification to the receiving country and any transit countries. A notification is complete when EPA receives a notification which EPA determines satisfies the requirements listed in this checklist item. Where a claim of confidentiality is asserted with respect to any required notification information, EPA may find the notification not complete until any such claim is resolved.)

Verify that CRTs are not exported unless the receiving country consents to the intended export.

(NOTE: When the receiving country consents in writing to the receipt of the CRTs, EPA will forward an Acknowledgment of Consent to Export CRTs to the exporter. Where the receiving country objects to receipt of the CRTs or withdraws a prior consent, EPA will notify the exporter in writing. EPA will also notify the exporter of any responses from transit countries.)

Verify that, when the conditions specified on the original notification change, the exporter provides EPA with a written renotification of the change, except for changes to the telephone number and decreases in the quantity indicated.

(NOTE: The shipment cannot take place until consent of the receiving country to the changes has been obtained (except for changes to information about points of entry and departure and transit countries and the exporter of CRTs receives from EPA a copy of the Acknowledgment of Consent to Export CRTs reflecting the receiving country's consent to the changes.)

Verify that a copy of the Acknowledgment of Consent to Export CRTs accompanies the shipment of CRTs and the shipment conforms to the terms of the Acknowledgment.

Verify that, if a shipment of CRTs cannot be delivered for any reason to the recycler or the alternate recycler, the exporter of CRTs renotifies EPA of a change in the conditions of the original notification to allow shipment to a new



U.S. TEAM Guide



recycler and obtains another Acknowledgment of Consent to Export CRTs.

Verify that exporters keep copies of notifications and Acknowledgments of Consent to Export CRTs for a period of 3 yr following receipt of the Acknowledgment.

HW.10.10.US. Used, broken CRTs are not considered solid waste, and so not handled as hazardous waste, if certain conditions are met (40 CFR 261.39(b) through 261.39(d)) [Added July 2006].

(NOTE: CRT Processing is defined as conducting all of the following activities:

receiving broken or intact CRTs intentionally breaking intact CRTs or further breaking or separating broken

CRTs sorting or otherwise managing glass removed from CRT monitors.)

Verify that the following activities of CRT processing are performed within a building with a roof, floor, and walls:

intentionally breaking intact CRTs or further breaking or separating broken CRTs

sorting or otherwise managing glass removed from CRT monitors.

Verify that no activities are performed that use temperatures high enough to volatilize lead from CRTs.

(NOTE: Glass from used CRTs that is destined for recycling at a CRT glass manufacturer or a lead smelter after processing is not a solid waste unless it is speculatively accumulated. 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.)

Verify that glass from used CRTs used in a manner constituting disposal is managed in a manner complying with the 40 CFR 266, subpart C.



U.S. TEAM Guide



HW.10.11.US. Used, intact CRTs being exported for reuse must meet certain notification and recordkeeping rquirements (40 CFR 261.40 and 261.41) [Added July 2006].

(NOTE: Used, intact CRTs exported for recycling are not solid wastes if they meet the notice and consent conditions of 40 CFR 261.39(a)(5) for exports (see checklist item HW.10.9.US), and if they are not speculatively accumulated. 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.)

Verify that exporters of used, intact CRTs for reuse send a one-time notification to the Regional Administrator which includes a statement that the notifier plans to export used, intact CRTs for reuse, the notifier's name, address, and EPA ID number (if applicable) and the name and phone number of a contact person.

Verify that exporters of used, intact CRTs for reuse keep copies of normal business records, such as contracts, demonstrating that each shipment of exported CRTs will be reused.

Verify that the documentation demonstrating that each shipment of exported CRTs will be reused is retained for at least 3 yr from the date the CRTs were exported.

HW.10.12.US. The management of hazardous secondary material must meet specific parameters (40 CFR 260.42, 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 261.4(a)(23), and 261.4(a)(24)) [Added January 2009].

Verify that hazardous secondary material generators, tolling contractors, toll manufacturers, reclaimers and intermediate facilities managing hazardous secondary materials excluded from regulations as a hazardous waste send a notification prior to operating under the exclusion and by March 1 of even numbered years thereafter to the Regional Administrator using EPA Form 8700-12 that includes the following information:

the name, address, and EPA ID number (if applicable) of the facility the name and telephone number of a contact person the NAICS code of the facility the exclusion under which the hazardous secondary materials will be



U.S. TEAM Guide



managed (e.g., 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), and/or (25))

for reclaimers and intermediate facilities managing hazardous secondary materials in accordance with 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24) or (25), whether the reclaimer or intermediate facility has financial assurance (not applicable for persons managing hazardous secondary materials generated and reclaimed under the control of the generator)

when the facility expects to begin managing the hazardous secondary materials in accordance with the exclusion

a list of hazardous secondary materials that will be managed according to the exclusion (reported as the EPA hazardous waste numbers that would apply if the hazardous secondary materials were managed as hazardous wastes)

for each hazardous secondary material, whether the hazardous secondary material, or any portion thereof, will be managed in a land-based unit

the quantity of each hazardous secondary material to be managed annually

the certification (included in EPA Form 8700-12) signed and dated by an authorized representative of the facility.

Verify that, if a hazardous secondary material generator, tolling contractor, toll manufacturer, reclaimer or intermediate facility has submitted a notification, but then subsequently stops managing hazardous secondary materials in accordance with the exclusion(s), the facility notifies the Regional Administrator within 30 days using EPA Form 8700-12.

(NOTE: For purposes of this checklist item, a facility has stopped managing hazardous secondary materials if the facility no longer generates, manages and/or reclaims hazardous secondary materials under the exclusion(s) and does not expect to manage any amount of hazardous secondary materials for at least 1 yr.).

Verify that the hazardous secondary material generator, tolling contractor, toll manufacturer, reclaimer or intermediate facility can demonstrate that the recycling is legitimate. Verify that, in order for it to be legitimate, recycling involves a hazardous secondary material that provides a useful contribution to the recycling process or



U.S. TEAM Guide



to a product or intermediate of the recycling process, and the recycling process must produce a valuable product or intermediate.

(NOTE: The hazardous secondary material provides a useful contribution if it does one or more of the following

contributes valuable ingredients to a product or intermediate replaces a catalyst or carrier in the recycling process is the source of a valuable constituent recovered in the recycling process is recovered or regenerated by the recycling process is used as an effective substitute for a commercial product.)

(NOTE: The product or intermediate is valuable if it meets one of the following: it is sold to a third party it is used by the recycler or the generator as an effective substitute for a

commercial product or as an ingredient or intermediate in an industrial process.)

(NOTE: The following factors must be considered in making a determination as to the overall legitimacy of a specific recycling activity:

the generator and the recycler manage the hazardous secondary material as a valuable commodity: where there is an analogous raw material, the hazardous secondary

material should be managed, at a minimum, in a manner consistent with the management of the raw material (NOTE: An “analogous raw material” is a raw material for which a hazardous secondary material is a substitute and serves the same function and has similar physical and chemical properties as the hazardous secondary material)

where there is no analogous raw material, the hazardous secondary material is contained (NOTE: Hazardous secondary materials that are released to the environment and are not recovered immediately are discarded)

the product of the recycling process does meet any of the following: contain significant concentrations of any hazardous constituents found

in Appendix VIII of 40 CFR 261 that are not found in analogous products

contains concentrations of any hazardous constituents found in Appendix VIII of 40 CFR 261 at levels that are significantly elevated from those found in analogous products



U.S. TEAM Guide



exhibits a hazardous characteristic that analogous products do not exhibit

in making a determination that a hazardous secondary material is legitimately recycled, persons must evaluate all factors and consider legitimacy as a whole.

(NOTE: If, after careful evaluation of the above considerations, one or both of the factors are not met, then this fact may be an indication that the material is not legitimately recycled. However, the factors in this listing do not have to be met for the recycling to be considered legitimate. In evaluating the extent to which these factors are met and in determining whether a process that does not meet one or both of these factors is still legitimate, persons can consider the protectiveness of the storage methods, exposure from toxics in the product, the bioavailability of the toxics in the product, and other relevant considerations.)

(NOTE: A hazardous secondary material is not discarded if it is generated and reclaimed under the control of the generator as defined, it is not speculatively accumulated, it is handled only in non-land-based units and is contained in such units, it is generated and reclaimed within the United States and its territories, it is not otherwise subject to material-specific management conditions under 40 CFR 261.4(a) when reclaimed, it is not a spent lead acid battery, it does not meet the listing description for K171 or K172, and the reclamation of the material is legitimate.)

(NOTE: Hazardous secondary material that is generated and then transferred to another person for the purpose of reclamation is not a solid waste, provided that:

the material is not speculatively accumulated the material is not handled by any person or facility other than the

hazardous secondary material generator, the transporter, an intermediate facility or a reclaimer, and, while in transport, is not stored for more than 10 days at a transfer facility, and is packaged according to applicable DOT regulations at 49 CFR 173, 178, and 179 while in transport

the hazardous secondary material generator satisfies all of the following conditions: the material is contained prior to arranging for transport of hazardous secondary materials to a

reclamation facility (or facilities) where the management of the



U.S. TEAM Guide



hazardous secondary materials is not addressed under a RCRA Part B permit or interim status standards, the hazardous secondary material generator makes reasonable efforts to ensure that each reclaimer intends to properly and legitimately reclaim the hazardous secondary material and not discard it, and that each reclaimer will manage the hazardous secondary material in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment (NOTE: If the hazardous secondary material will be passing through an intermediate facility where the management of the hazardous secondary materials is not addressed under a RCRA Part B permit or interim status standards, the hazardous secondary material generator must make contractual arrangements with the intermediate facility to ensure that the hazardous secondary material is sent to the reclamation facility identified by the hazardous secondary material generator, and the hazardous secondary material generator must perform reasonable efforts to ensure that the intermediate facility will manage the hazardous secondary material in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment

reasonable efforts are repeated at a minimum of every 3 yr for the hazardous secondary material generator to claim the exclusion and to send the hazardous secondary materials to each reclaimer and any intermediate facility (NOTE: In making these reasonable efforts, the generator may use any credible evidence available, including information gathered by the hazardous secondary material generator, provided by the reclaimer or intermediate facility, and/or provided by a third party)

Verify that the hazardous secondary material generator maintains for a minimum of 3 yr documentation and certification that reasonable efforts were made for each reclamation facility and, if applicable, intermediate facility where the management of the hazardous secondary materials is not addressed under a RCRA Part B permit or interim status standards prior to transferring hazardous secondary material.

(NOTE: Documentation and certification must be made available upon request by a regulatory authority within 72 h, or within a longer period of time as specified by the regulatory authority.)



U.S. TEAM Guide



Verify that the hazardous secondary material generator maintains at the generating facility for no less than 3 yr the following records of all off-site shipments of hazardous secondary materials:

name of the transporter and date of the shipment name and address of each reclaimer and, if applicable, the name and

address of each intermediate facility to which the hazardous secondary material was sent

the type and quantity of hazardous secondary material in the shipment.

Verify that the hazardous secondary material generator maintains at the generating facility for no less than 3 yr confirmations of receipt from each reclaimer and, if applicable, each intermediate facility for all off-site shipments of hazardous secondary materials.

(NOTE: Confirmations of receipt must include the name and address of the reclaimer (or intermediate facility), the type and quantity of the hazardous secondary materials received and the date which the hazardous secondary materials were received. This requirement may be satisfied by routine business records (e.g., financial records, bills of lading, copies of DOT shipping papers, or electronic confirmations of receipt).)

Verify that, if the facility is a reclaimer or intermediate facility they maintain at the facility for no less than 3 yr records of all shipments of hazardous secondary material that were received at the facility and, if applicable, for all shipments of hazardous secondary materials that were received and subsequently sent off-site from the facility for further reclamation.

Verify that, for each shipment related to a reclaimer or intermediate facility, the records, at a minimum, contain the following information:

name of the transporter and date of the shipment name and address of the hazardous secondary material generator and, if

applicable, the name and address of the reclaimer or intermediate facility which the hazardous secondary materials were received from

the type and quantity of hazardous secondary material in the shipment for hazardous secondary materials that, after being received by the

reclaimer or intermediate facility, were subsequently transferred off-site



U.S. TEAM Guide



for further reclamation, the name and address of the (subsequent) reclaimer and, if applicable, the name and address of each intermediate facility to which the hazardous secondary material was sent.

Verify that an intermediate facility sends the hazardous secondary material to the reclaimer(s) designated by the hazardous secondary materials generator.

Verify that the reclaimer and intermediate facility send to the hazardous secondary material generator confirmations of receipt for all off-site shipments of hazardous secondary materials.

Verify that confirmations of receipt include the name and address of the reclaimer (or intermediate facility), the type and quantity of the hazardous secondary materials received and the date which the hazardous secondary materials were received.

(NOTE: This requirement may be satisfied by routine business records (e.g., financial records, bills of lading, copies of DOT shipping papers, or electronic confirmations of receipt).)

(NOTE: The reclaimer and intermediate facility must manage the hazardous secondary material in a manner that is at least as protective as that employed for analogous raw material and must be contained. An “analogous raw material” is a raw material for which a hazardous secondary material is a substitute and serves the same function and has similar physical and chemical properties as the hazardous secondary material.)

Verify that any residuals generated from reclamation processes are managed in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment.

(NOTE: If any residuals exhibit a hazardous characteristic, or if they themselves are specifically listed as a hazardous waste, such residuals are hazardous wastes and must be managed in accordance with the applicable requirements of 40 CFR 260 through 272.)

(NOTE: The reclaimer and intermediate facility must have financial assurance as required under subpart H of 40 CFR 261.)

HW.20. General

HW.20.1.US. Generators of more than 100 kg but less than 1000 kg of hazardous waste per month may qualify as an SQG that can accumulate hazardous waste onsite for 180 days without a permit if specific conditions are met (40 CFR 262.34(d)(1), 262.34(d)(4), 262.34(e), 262.34(f), and 262.34(m)) [Reviewed October 2001; Revised April 2005].

Verify that no more than 1000 kg [approx. 2204 lb] of hazardous waste is generated in any month.

Verify that the onsite accumulation time does not exceed 180 days.

(NOTE: For an SQG, the accumulation start date begins when the first waste is poured/placed into the waste container, except for at satellite accumulation points.)

(NOTE: The 180-day time period is extended to 270 days if the waste must be transported more than 200 mi to a TSDF. This extension does not apply if a TSDF is available within 200 mi and the SQG chooses to transport the waste to a farther away TSDF.)

Verify that no more than 6000 kg [approx. 13,227 lb] is allowed to accumulate.

Verify that containers are marked with the date accumulation began and the words HAZARDOUS WASTE.

Verify that the containers and the areas at which containers are stored meet the requirements outlined in the subsections pertaining to SQGs.

(NOTE: When an SQG exceeds the quantity generation or amount accumulation, it becomes subject to either Generator or TSDF requirements. When an SQG exceeds the storage time limitation, the SQG becomes subject to all storage facility and permitting requirements.)

(NOTE: A generator who sends a shipment of hazardous waste to a designated facility with the understanding that the designated facility can accept and manage the waste and later receives that shipment back as a rejected load or



U.S. TEAM Guide



residue in accordance with the manifest discrepancy may accumulate the returned waste onsite in accordance with the requirements for SQGs depending on the amount of hazardous waste on-site in that calendar month.)

Verify that, upon receipt of a returned shipment, the generator signs one of the following:

Item 18c of the manifest, if the transporter returned the shipment using the original manifest

(NOTE: For shipments of hazardous waste to a designated facility in an authorized State which has not yet obtained authorization to regulate that particular waste as hazardous, the generator must assure that the designated facility agrees to sign and return the manifest to the generator, and that any out-of-state transporter signs and forwards the manifest to the designated facility.) Verify that, if the transporter is unable to deliver the hazardous waste to the designated facility or the alternate facility, the generator either designates another facility or instructs the transporter to return the waste.

(NOTE: The requirement to prepare a manifest does not apply if: the waste is reclaimed under contractual agreement and:

the type of waste and frequency of shipments are specified in the agreement

the vehicle used to transport the waste to the recycling facility and to deliver regenerated material back to the generator is owned and operated by the reclaimer

the generator maintains a copy of the reclamation agreement for at least 3 yr after termination of the agreement.)

(NOTE: The requirement to use a manifest does not apply to the transport of hazardous wastes on a public or private right-of-way within or along the border of contiguous property under the control of the same person, even if such contiguous property is divided by a public or private right-of-way. The generator

HW.25. Personnel Training

HW.25.1.US. SQG personnel are required to be thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and emergency procedures (40 CFR 262.34(d)(5)(iii)) [Revised February 1995; Reviewed October 2001; Revised July 2004].

Verify that personnel are thoroughly familiar with waste handling and emergency procedures relevant to their responsibilities during normal facility operation and emergencies.

(NOTE: A memorandum titled “Frequently Asked Questions about Satellite Accumulation Areas” from the Director EPA’s Office of Solid Waste to the RCRA Directors, EPA Regions 1-10 on 17 March 2004, states that “The RCRA regulations do not require training of personnel working in satellite accumulation areas (SAAs). Personnel that have access to or work in central accumulation areas, including those that move hazardous waste from a SAA to a central accumulation area, must be trained. As the ones actually generating hazardous waste, however, personnel working in SAAs need to be familiar enough with the chemicals with which they are working to know when they have generated a hazardous waste so that it will be managed in accordance with the RCRA regulations. )

HW.25.2.US. Training records should be maintained for all SQG staff that manages hazardous waste (MP).

Examine training records and verify that they include the following:


Determine if training records are retained for 3 yr after employment terminates at the SQG or until closure of the SQG.

all wastes are removed that can be removed using common practices and no more than 2.5 cm [1 in.] of residue remains



Verify that, for containers that held a compressed gas, the pressure in the container approaches atmosphere.

Verify that, for containers or inner liners which held an acute hazardous waste listed in Appendix 4-5, one of the following is done:



HW.30.2.US. Containers used to store hazardous waste at SQGs must be in good condition and not leaking (40 CFR 262.34(d)(2) and 265.171) [Reviewed October 2001].

Verify that containers are not leaking, bulging, rusting, damaged, or dented.

Verify that waste is transferred to a new container or managed in another appropriate manner when necessary.



U.S. TEAM Guide



HW.30.3.US. Containers used at SQGs must be made of or lined with materials compatible with the waste stored in them (40 CFR 262.34(d)(2) and 265.172) [Reviewed October 2001].

Verify that containers are compatible with waste; in particular, check that strong caustics and acids are not stored in metal drums.

HW.30.4.US. Containers of hazardous waste at SQGs must be closed during storage and handled in a safe manner (40 CFR 262.34(d)(2) and 265.173) [Reviewed October 2001; Revised October 2005].

Verify that containers are closed, except when it is necessary to add or remove waste (check bungs on drums).

Verify that handling and storage practices do not cause damage to the containers or cause them to leak.


HW.30.5.US. The handling of incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials in containers at SQGs, must comply with safe management practices (40 CFR 262.34(d)(2) and 265.177) [Reviewed October 2001].

Verify that incompatible wastes or incompatible wastes and materials are not placed in the same containers unless it is done so that it does not:

generate extreme heat or pressure, fire, or explosion, or violent reaction produce uncontrolled toxic mists, fumes, dusts, or gases in sufficient

quantities to threaten human health produce uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities

to pose a risk of fire or explosions damage the structural integrity of the device or facility by any other like means threaten human health.

(NOTE: Incompatible wastes as listed in Appendix 4-6 should not be placed in the same drum.)

Verify that hazardous wastes are not placed in an unwashed container that previously held an incompatible waste or material.

Verify that containers holding hazardous wastes incompatible with wastes stored nearby in other containers, open tanks, piles, or surface impoundments are

U.S. TEAM Guide




HW.35. Satellite Accumulation Points

HW.35.1.US. All SQGs may accumulate as much as 55 gal of hazardous waste or 1 qt of acutely hazardous waste in containers at or near any point of initial generation without complying with the requirements for onsite storage if specific standards are met (40 CFR 262.34(c)) [Reviewed October 2001; Revised July 2004].

(NOTE: This type of storage is often referred to as a satellite accumulation point.)

Verify that the satellite accumulation point is at or near the point of generation where wastes initially accumulate and is under the control of the operator of the waste generating process.

Verify that the containers are in good condition and are compatible with the waste stored in them and that the containers are kept closed except when waste is being added or removed.

Verify that the containers are marked HAZARDOUS WASTE or other words that identify contents.

(NOTE: See Appendices 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, and 4-5 for guidance on characteristic and listed hazardous wastes.)

Verify that, when waste is accumulated in excess of quantity limitations, the following actions are taken by interviewing the shop managers:

the excess container is marked with the date the excess amount began accumulating

the excess waste is transferred to a 180-day or permitted storage area within 3 days.

(NOTE: A memorandum titled “Frequently Asked Questions about Satellite Accumulation Areas” from the Director EPA’s Office of Solid Waste to the RCRA Directors, EPA Regions 1-10 on 17 March 2004, states that “It's permissible to have more than one hazardous waste in an SAA. Likewise, it's



U.S. TEAM Guide



permissible to have more than one container of hazardous waste in an SAA. The regulations do not limit the number of hazardous wastes or the number of containers that can be placed in an SAA. The regulations limit only the total volume of hazardous waste at a single SAA to 55 gallons (or 1 quart of acute hazardous waste). If there are multiple containers of hazardous waste in an SAA, each container must be labeled in accordance with 262.34(c)(1)(ii). Because the Agency did not anticipate that generators would accumulate multiple hazardous wastes/containers in an SAA, a cross-reference to the requirements for the safe storage of incompatible wastes was not included as part of the container management standards for SAAs. Nevertheless, good management practices clearly dictate that incompatible wastes should be stored separately. Furthermore, in the event that any wastes, including incompatible wastes, are stored in such a way that they may pose an imminent and substantial threat to health or the environment, §7003 of RCRA allows the Agency to take enforcement action to eliminate the threat.”)

(NOTE: A memorandum titled “Frequently Asked Questions about Satellite Accumulation Areas” from the Director EPA’s Office of Solid Waste to the RCRA Directors, EPA Regions 1-10 on 17 March 2004, stipulates that when a facility has equipment that discharges hazardous wastes to attached containers (i.e. photo processing), the containers that collect such wastes have to be in compliance with the satellite accumulation regulations even if the discharging unit is not regulated under RCRA, the attached containers that collect hazardous wastes from such equipment must be in compliance with the satellite accumulation area regulations, if those containers collect wastes that are listed or characteristic hazardous wastes.)

(NOTE: Generators would not be required to keep attached containers closed while hazardous waste is being added to the container; but generators would need to keep them closed when the hazardous waste is not being discharged to the attached container. The container(s) attached to such equipment is a point of generation. It is possible for there to be multiple pieces of equipment within one SAA, and thus multiple points of generation within a single SAA, provided all the pieces of equipment are "at or near" each other and "under the control of the operator of the process generating the waste." Under this scenario, the total amount of hazardous waste in the SAA would be limited to 55 gal (or 1 quart of acute hazardous waste) and a generator would be allowed to consolidate like hazardous wastes from multiple discharging units.)

Verify that the generator designates on the manifest one facility that is permitted to handle the waste described on the manifest.

(NOTE: A generator may also designate on the manifest one alternate facility which is permitted top handle his waste in the event an emergency prevents delivery of the waste to the designated facility.)

(NOTE: The manifest consists of at least the number of copies which will provide the generator, each transporter, and the owner or operator of the designated facility with one copy each for their records and another copy to be returned to the SQG.)

Verify that the generator:

signs the manifest certification by hand obtains the handwritten signature of the initial transporter and date of

acceptance on the manifest retains one copy.

Verify that a generator who initiates a shipment of hazardous waste certifies the following statement in Item 15 of the uniform hazardous waste manifest: “I am a large quantity generator. I have a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of waste generated to the degree I have determined to be economically practicable and I have selected the practicable method of treatment, storage, or disposal currently available to me which minimizes the present and future threat to human health and the environment.”

Verify that the generator gives the transporter the remaining copies of the manifest.

Verify that, for shipments of hazardous waste within the United States solely by water (bulk shipments only), the generator sends 3 copies of the manifest dated and signed to the owner or operator of the designated facility or the last water (bulk shipment) transporter to handle the waste in the United States if exported by water.

(NOTE: For shipments of hazardous waste within the United States solely by

water (bulk shipments), copies of the manifest are not required for each transporter.)

Verify that, for rail shipments of hazardous waste within the United States which originate at the site of generation, the SQG sends at least 3 copies of the manifest dated and signed to one of the following:

the next non-rail transporter, if any the designated facility if transported solely by rail the last rail transporter to handle the waste in the United States if

exported by rail.

(NOTE: For shipments of hazardous waste to a designated facility in an authorized State which has not yet obtained authorization to regulate that particular waste as hazardous, the generator must assure that the designated facility agrees to sign and return the manifest to the generator, and that any out-of-state transporter signs and forwards the manifest to the designated facility.) Verify that, if the transporter is unable to deliver the hazardous waste to the designated facility or the alternate facility, the generator either designates another facility or instructs the transporter to return the waste.

Verify that a generator who does not receive a copy of the manifest with the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility within 60 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter submits a legible copy of the manifest, with some indication that the generator has not received confirmation of delivery, to the USEPA Regional Administrator for the Region in which the generator is located.

(NOTE: The submission to USEPA need only be a handwritten or typed note on the manifest itself, or on an attached sheet of paper, stating that the return copy was not received.)

Verify that the generator keeps a copy of each signed manifest for 3 yr or until he receives a signed copy from the designated facility which received the waste.

Verify that the returned signed copy is retained as a record for at least 3 yr from the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter.

(NOTE: If the owner or operator has already prepared a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with 40 CFR 112, or part 1510 of chapter V, or some other emergency or contingency plan, the owner/operator need only amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are sufficient to comply with the requirements in this checklist item. The owner or operator may develop one contingency plan which meets all regulatory requirements. EPA recommends that the plan be based on the National Response Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance (“One Plan”). When modifications are made to non-RCRA provisions in an integrated contingency plan, the changes do not trigger the need for a RCRA permit modification.)

Verify that the contingency plan is designed to minimize hazards to human health or the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or nonsudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents.

Verify that the plan includes the following:

a description of actions to be taken during an emergency a description of arrangements made with local police departments, fire

departments, hospitals, contractors, and state and local emergency response teams as appropriate

names, addresses, and phone numbers of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (if more than one name is listed, the plan must identify one person as the primary emergency coordinator with other persons listed in the order in which they will assume responsibility as an alternate)

a list of all emergency equipment and where this equipment is required, located, and what it looks like

Generators with valves in gas/vapor service or light liquid service, that contain or contact hazardous wastes with organic concentrations of at least 10 percent by weight, are required to meet specific monitoring and repair standards (40 CFR 262.34(a)(1)(i), 265.178, 265.1057, and 265.1062) [Revised December 1997; Reviewed October 2001].

Verify that valves in gas/vapor service or light liquid service are monitored monthly to detect leaks.

(NOTE: A leak is detected if an instrument reading of 10,000 ppm or greater is measured. But, if a leak is not detected for 2 consecutive months, monitoring may be cut back to quarterly until a leak is detected.)

(NOTE: Valves that are designated for no detectable emissions, as indicated by an instrument reading of less than 500 ppm above background, do not have to be monitored monthly if:

the valve has no external actuating mechanism in contact with the hazardous waste stream

the valve is operated with emissions less than 500 ppm above background

the valve is tested initially upon designation, annually, and at the request of the Regional Administrator.)

(NOTE: Valves that are designated as unsafe to monitor are exempt from the requirement for monthly monitoring if:

the valve is unsafe to monitor because monitoring personnel would be exposed to an immediate danger

HW.75. Satellite Accumulation Points

HW.75.1.US. Generators may accumulate as much as 55 gal of hazardous waste or 1 qt of acutely hazardous waste in containers at or near any point of initial generation without complying with the requirements for onsite storage if specific standards are met (40 CFR 262.34(c)) [Reviewed October 2001; Revised July 2004].

(NOTE: This type of storage is often referred to as a satellite accumulation point.)

Verify that the satellite accumulation point is at or near the point of generation and is under the control of the operator of the waste generating process.

Verify that the containers are in good condition and are compatible with the waste stored in them, and that the containers are kept closed except when waste is being added or removed.

Verify that the containers are marked HAZARDOUS WASTE or other words that identify the contents.

(NOTE: See Appendices 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, and 4-5 for guidance on characteristic and listed hazardous wastes.)

Verify that, when waste is accumulated in excess of quantity limitations, the following actions are taken:

the excess container is marked with the date the excess amount began accumulating

the excess waste is transferred to a 90-day or permitted storage area within 3 days.

(NOTE: A memorandum titled “Frequently Asked Questions about Satellite Accumulation Areas” from the Director EPA’s Office of Solid Waste to the RCRA Directors, EPA Regions 1-10 on 17 March 2004, states that “It's permissible to have more than one hazardous waste in an SAA. Likewise, it's permissible to have more than one container of hazardous waste in an SAA. The regulations do not limit the number of hazardous wastes or the number of



U.S. TEAM Guide



containers that can be placed in an SAA. The regulations limit only the total volume of hazardous waste at a single SAA to 55 gallons (or 1 quart of acute hazardous waste). If there are multiple containers of hazardous waste in an SAA, each container must be labeled in accordance with 262.34(c)(1)(ii). Because the Agency did not anticipate that generators would accumulate multiple hazardous wastes/containers in an SAA, a cross-reference to the requirements for the safe storage of incompatible wastes was not included as part of the container management standards for SAAs. Nevertheless, good management practices clearly dictate that incompatible wastes should be stored separately. Furthermore, in the event that any wastes, including incompatible wastes, are stored in such a way that they may pose an imminent and substantial threat to health or the environment, §7003 of RCRA allows the Agency to take enforcement action to eliminate the threat.”)

(NOTE: A memorandum titled “Frequently Asked Questions about Satellite Accumulation Areas” from the Director EPA’s Office of Solid Waste to the RCRA Directors, EPA Regions 1-10 on 17 March 2004, stipulates that when a facility has equipment that discharges hazardous wastes to attached containers (i.e. photo processing), the containers that collect such wastes have to be in compliance with the satellite accumulation regulations even if the discharging unit is not regulated under RCRA, the attached containers that collect hazardous wastes from such equipment must be in compliance with the satellite accumulation area regulations, if those containers collect wastes that are listed or characteristic hazardous wastes. Generators would not be required to keep attached containers closed while hazardous waste is being added to the container; but generators would need to keep them closed when the hazardous waste is not being discharged to the attached container. The container(s) attached to such equipment is a point of generation. It is possible for there to be multiple pieces of equipment within one SAA, and thus multiple points of generation within a single SAA, provided all the pieces of equipment are "at or near" each other and "under the control of the operator of the process generating the waste." Under this scenario, the total amount of hazardous waste in the SAA would be limited to 55 gal (or 1 quart of acute hazardous waste) and a generator would be allowed to consolidate like hazardous wastes from multiple discharging units.)

conductivity of 1 x 10-2 cm/s or more and a thickness of 12 in. (30.5 cm) or more, or constructed of synthetic or geonet drainage materials with a transmissivity of 3 x 10-5 m2/s or more

if treatment is to be conducted in the building, the treatment area is designed to prevent the release of liquids, wet materials, or liquid aerosols to other portions of the building

the secondary containment system is constructed of materials that are chemically resistant to the waste and liquids managed in the building and of sufficient strength and thickness to prevent collapse under pressure exerted by overlaying materials and by any equipment used.

(NOTE: An exception to the structural strength requirement may be made for light- weight doors and windows based on the nature of the waste management operations if the following criteria are met:

the doors and windows provide an effective barrier against fugitive dust emissions

the unit is designed and operated in a manner that ensures the waste will not come in contact with the doors or windows.)

(NOTE: A containment building can serve as an external liner or a secondary containment system for tanks within the building if:

there is a designated area for the decontamination of equipment and collection of rinsate

any collected rinsate is managed as needed according to its constituents measures are implemented to control fugitive dust emissions so that no

openings exhibit visible emissions particulate collection devices are maintained and operated according to

sound air pollution control practices.

Verify that data is gathered from monitoring equipment and leak detection equipment, the site is inspected at least once every 7 days, and the results are

Verify that, if a TSDF receives hazardous waste accompanied by a manifest, the owner, operator or his/her agent signs and dates the manifest to certify that the hazardous waste covered by the manifest was received, that the hazardous waste was received except as noted in the discrepancy space of the manifest, or that the hazardous waste was rejected as noted in the manifest discrepancy space. Verify that, if a facility receives a hazardous waste shipment accompanied by a manifest, the owner, operator or his agent:

signs and dates, by hand, each copy of the manifest notes any discrepancies on each copy of the manifest immediately gives the transporter at least one copy of the manifest within 30 days of delivery, sends a copy of the manifest to the generator retains at the facility a copy of each manifest for at least 3 yr from the

date of delivery.

Verify that, if a TSDF receives hazardous waste imported from a foreign source, the receiving TSDF mails a copy of the manifest to the following address within 30 days of delivery: International Compliance Assurance Division, OFA/OECA (2254A), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Ariel Rios Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460.

Verify that, 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:

signs and dates 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

notes any significant discrepancies in the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has not been received) on each copy of the manifest or shipping paper

immediately gives the rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter at least one copy of the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has not been



U.S. TEAM Guide



received within 30 days after the delivery, sends a copy of the signed and dated

manifest or a signed and dated copy of the shipping paper (if the manifest has not been received within 30 days after delivery) to the generator

retains 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 3 yr from the date of delivery.

(NOTE: Whenever a shipment of hazardous waste is initiated from a facility, the owner or operator of that facility must comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 262.)

(NOTE: The provisions of 40 CFR 262.34 are applicable to the on-site accumulation of hazardous wastes by generators. Therefore, the provisions of 40 CFR 262.34 only apply to owners or operators who are shipping hazardous waste which they generated at that facility.)

Verify that, within three working days of the receipt of a shipment subject to 40 CFR 262, subpart H, the owner or operator of the TSDF provides 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, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460, and to competent authorities of all other concerned countries.

Verify that the original copy of the tracking document is maintained at the facility for at least three years from the date of signature.

(NOTE: A facility must determine whether the consignment state for a shipment regulates any additional wastes (beyond those regulated Federally) as hazardous wastes under its state hazardous waste program. Facilities must also determine whether the consignment state or generator state requires the facility to submit any copies of the manifest to these states.)

HW.145.10.US. TSDFs receiving hazardous waste from a foreign source must

Verify that notification is sent in writing at least 4 wk before delivery is expected.



U.S. TEAM Guide



notify the Regional Administrator (40 CFR 264.12(a) and 265.12(a)).

HW.145.11.US. TSDFs that receive waste from offsite sources are required to attempt to resolve manifest discrepancies when they occur (40 CFR 264.72 and 265.72) [Revised April 2005].

(NOTE: Manifest discrepancies are defined as: significant differences between the quantity or type of hazardous waste

designated on the manifest or shipping paper, and the quantity and type of hazardous waste a facility actually receives

rejected wastes, which may be a full or partial shipment of hazardous waste that the TSDF cannot accept

container residues, which are residues that exceed the quantity limits for “empty” containers.

Significant differences in quantity are: for bulk waste, variations greater than 10 percent in weight for batch waste, any variation in piece count, such as a discrepancy of

one drum in a truckload.Significant differences 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.)

Verify that, upon discovering a significant difference in quantity or type, the owner or operator attempts to reconcile the discrepancy with the waste generator or transporter (e.g., with telephone conversations).

Verify that, if the discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after receiving the waste, the owner or operator immediately submits 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.

Verify that, upon rejecting waste or identifying a container residue that exceeds the quantity limits for “empty” containers, the TSDF consults with the generator prior to forwarding the waste to another facility that can manage the waste.

(NOTE: If it is impossible to locate an alternative facility that can receive the waste, the facility may return the rejected waste or residue to the generator.)

Verify that the TSDF sends the waste to the alternative facility or to the generator within 60 days of the rejection or the container residue identification.



U.S. TEAM Guide



Verify that, while the TSDF is making arrangements for forwarding rejected wastes or residues to another TSDF, it ensures that either the delivering transporter retains custody of the waste, or, the facility provides for secure, temporary custody of the waste, pending delivery of the waste to the first transporter designated on the prepared manifest.

Verify that, for full or partial load rejections and residues that are to be sent off-site to an alternate facility, the TSDF prepares a new manifest in accordance with 40 CFR 262.20(a) and the following instructions:

write the generator's U.S. EPA ID number in Item 1 of the new manifest write the generator's name and mailing address in Item 5 of the new

manifest and if the mailing address is different from the generator's site address, then write the generator's site address in the designated space for Item 5

write the name of the alternate designated facility and the facility's U.S. EPA ID number in the designated facility block (Item 8) of the new manifest

copy the manifest tracking number found in Item 4 of the old manifest to the Special Handling and Additional Information Block of the new manifest, and indicate that the shipment is a residue or rejected waste from the previous shipment

copy the manifest tracking number found in Item 4 of the new manifest to the manifest reference number line in the Discrepancy Block of the old manifest (Item 18a)

write the DOT description for the rejected load or the residue in Item 9 (U.S. DOT Description) of the new manifest and write the container types, quantity, and volume(s) of waste

sign the Generator's/Offeror's Certification to certify, as the offeror of the shipment, that the waste has been properly packaged, marked and labeled and is in proper condition for transportation.

(NOTE: For full load rejections that are made while the transporter remains present at the facility, the facility may forward the rejected shipment to the alternate facility by completing Item 18b of the original manifest and supplying the information on the next destination facility in the Alternate Facility space.



U.S. TEAM Guide



The facility must retain a copy of this manifest for its records, and then give the remaining copies of the manifest to the transporter to accompany the shipment. If the original manifest is not used, then the facility must use a new manifest.)

Verify that, for rejected wastes and residues that must be sent back to the generator, the TSDF prepares a new manifest in accordance with 40 CFR 262.20(a) and the following instructions:

write the facility's U.S. EPA ID number in Item 1 of the new Manifest write the generator's name and mailing address in Item 5 of the new

manifest if the mailing address is different from the generator's site address, then

write the generator's site address in the designated space for Item 5 write the name of the initial generator and the generator's U.S. EPA ID

sign the Generator's/Offeror's Certification to certify, as offeror of the shipment, that the waste has been properly packaged, marked and labeled and is in proper condition for transportation.

(NOTE: For full load rejections that are made while the transporter remains at the facility, the facility may return the shipment to the generator with the original manifest by completing Item 18a and 18b of the manifest and supplying the generator's information in the Alternate Facility space. The facility must retain a copy for its records and then give the remaining copies of the manifest to the transporter to accompany the shipment. If the original manifest is not used, then the facility must use a new manifest.)

(NOTE: If a facility rejects a waste or identifies a container residue that exceeds



U.S. TEAM Guide



the quantity limits for “empty” containers after it has signed, dated, and returned a copy of the manifest to the delivering transporter or to the generator, the facility must amend its copy of the manifest to indicate the rejected wastes or residues in the discrepancy space of the amended manifest. The facility must also copy the manifest tracking number from Item 4 of the new manifest to the Discrepancy space of the amended manifest, and must re-sign and date the manifest to certify to the information as amended. The facility must retain the amended manifest for at least 3 yr from the date of amendment, and must within 30 days, send a copy of the amended manifest to the transporter and generator that received copies prior to their being amended.)

HW.145.12.US. Reports must be submitted to the USEPA when a TSDF accepts an unmanifested waste shipment (40 CFR 264.76 and 265.76) [Revised April 2005].

Verify that, 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, and if the waste is not excluded from the manifest requirement, the owner or operator prepared and submitted a letter to the Regional Administrator within 15 days after receiving the waste.

Verify that the unmanifested waste report contains the following information:

the EPA identification number, name and address of the facility the date the facility received the waste the EPA identification number, name and address of the generator and

the transporter, if available a description and the quantity of each unmanifested hazardous waste the

facility received the method of treatment, storage, or disposal for each hazardous waste the certification signed by the owner or operator of the facility or his

authorized representative a brief explanation of why the waste was unmanifested, if known.

HW.145.13.US. TSDFs that initiate a shipment of hazardous waste to a different, offsite TSDF must meet certain Generator standards (40 CFR 262.10(f)).

Verify that the TSDF complies with the Generator standards in 40 CFR 262.12(c), and 262.40 through 262.42 (see checklist items HW.55.3.US through HW.55.6.US), if initiating shipments of hazardous waste to a different, offsite TSDF.

Verify that, the owner or operator of new surface impoundments, lateral expansions of surface impoundments, and replacements of existing surface impoundments notify the Regional Administrator at least 60 days prior to receiving waste.

Verify that the owner or operator of each facility submitting notice files a part B application within 6 mo of the receipt of such notice.

(NOTE: The owner or operator of any replacement surface impoundment does not have to ensure the impoundment has two or more liners and a removal system above and between the liners if:

the existing unit was constructed in compliance with the design standards of Sec. 3004(o)(1)(A)(i) and (o)(5) of RCRA

there is no reason to believe that the liner is not functioning as designed.)

(NOTE: The double liner requirement may be waived by the Regional Administrator for any monofill, if:

the monofill contains only hazardous wastes from foundry furnace emission controls or metal casting molding sand, and such wastes do not contain constituents which would render the wastes hazardous for reasons other than the Toxicity Characteristic, with EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers D004 through D017

(NOTE: If the Regional Administrator does not take action on before the original 60 or extended 90 day review periods, the action leakage rate will be approved as proposed by the owner or operator.)

(NOTE: The action leakage rate is the maximum design flow rate that the leak detection system (LDS) can remove without the fluid head on the bottom liner exceeding 1 foot. The action leakage rate must include an adequate safety margin to allow for uncertainties in the design (e.g., slope, hydraulic conductivity, thickness of drainage material), construction, operation, and location of the LDS, waste and leachate characteristics, likelihood and amounts of other sources of liquids in the LDS, and proposed response actions (e.g., the action leakage rate must consider decreases in the flow capacity of the system over time resulting from siltation and clogging, rib layover and creep of synthetic components of the system, overburden pressures, etc.).

Verify that, in order to determine if the action leakage rate has been exceeded, the owner or operator converts the weekly or monthly flow rate from the monitoring data obtained under 40 CFR 265.226(b), to an average daily flow rate (gallons per acre per day) for each sump;

(NOTE: Unless the Regional Administrator approves a different calculation, the average daily flow rate for each sump must be calculated weekly during the active life and closure period, and if the unit closes in accordance with 40 CFR 265.228(a)(2), monthly during the post-closure care period when monthly monitoring is required under 40 CFR 265.226(b).)

(NOTE: Staging piles must be designated by the Director in a permit or, at an interim status facility, in a closure plan or order.)

(NOTE: For the purposes of this checklist item, storage includes mixing, sizing, blending, or other similar physical operations as long as they are intended to prepare the wastes for subsequent management or treatment.)

Verify that., when the facility is seeking a staging pile designation, they provide:

sufficient and accurate information to enable the Director to impose appropriate standards and design criteria

certification by a qualified Professional Engineer for technical data, such as design drawings and specifications, and engineering studies, unless the Director determines, based on information that you provide, that this certification is not necessary to ensure that a staging pile will protect human health and the environment.



U.S. TEAM Guide



Verify that a staging pile is used to store hazardous remediation waste (or remediation waste otherwise subject to land disposal restrictions) only if the standards and design criteria the Director has designated for that staging pile are met.

Verify that the staging pile complies with the following standards and design criteria:

the staging pile facilitates a reliable, effective, and protective remedy the staging pile is designed so as to prevent or minimize releases of

hazardous wastes and hazardous constituents into the environment, and minimize or adequately control cross-media transfer, as necessary to protect human health and the environment (for example, through the use of liners, covers, run-off/run-on controls, as appropriate)

the staging pile does not operate for more than 2 yr, except when the Director grants an operating term extension.

(NOTE: The 2-yr limit, or other operating term specified by the Director in the permit, closure plan, or order, is measured from the first time remediation waste is placed into a staging pile.)

Verify that a record is maintained of the date when remediation waste was first placed into the staging pile for the life of the permit, closure plan, or order, or for 3 yr, whichever is longer.

Verify that ignitable or reactive remediation waste is not placed in a staging pile unless one of the following is met:

the remediation waste has been treated, rendered, or mixed before placing it in the staging pile so that: the remediation waste no longer meets the definition of ignitable or

reactive the owner or operator is in compliance with 40 CFR 264.17(b) (see

checklist item HW.105.7.US) the remediation waste is managed to protect it from exposure to any

material or condition that may cause it to ignite or react.



U.S. TEAM Guide



Verify that incompatible remediation wastes are not placed in the same staging pile unless in compliance with 40 CFR 264.17(b) (see checklist item HW.105.7.US).

Verify that, if remediation waste in a staging pile is incompatible with any waste or material stored nearby in containers, other piles, open tanks, or land disposal units (for example, surface impoundments), the incompatible materials are separated, or protected from one another by using a dike, berm, wall, or other device.

Verify that remediation waste is not piled on the same base where incompatible wastes or materials were previously piled, unless the base has been decontaminated sufficiently to comply with 40 CFR 264.17(b) (see checklist item HW.105.7.US).

(NOTE: Placing hazardous remediation wastes into a staging pile does not constitute land disposal of hazardous wastes or create a unit that is subject to the minimum technological requirements of RCRA 3004(o).)

Verify that the staging pile is used no longer than the length of time designated by the Director in the permit, closure plan, or order (the “operating term”).

(NOTE: The Director may grant one operating term extension of up to 180 days beyond the operating term limit contained in the permit, closure plan, or order.)

Verify that, within 180 days after the operating term of the staging pile expires, a staging pile located in a previously contaminated area of the site is closed by removing or decontaminating all:

remediation waste contaminated containment system components structures and equipment contaminated with waste and leachate.

Appendix 4-0

Materials Which Are Not Solid Waste(40 CFR 162.4(a))

[Added January 2003; Revised July 2006; Revised January 2009]

(NOTE: 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 40 CFR 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.)

The following items are not considered solid wastes and therefore do not have to undergo the process to determine whether or not they are hazardous waste.

1. Domestic sewage; and any mixture of domestic sewage and other wastes that pass through a sewer system to a publicly-owned treatment works for treatment. ``Domestic sewage'' means untreated sanitary wastes that pass through a sewer system.

2. Industrial wastewater discharges that are point source discharges subject to regulation under section 402 of the Clean Water Act, as amended. [Comment: This exclusion applies only to the actual point source discharge. It does not exclude industrial wastewaters while they are being collected, stored or treated before discharge, nor does it exclude sludges that are generated by industrial wastewater treatment.]

3. Irrigation return flows.

4. Source, special nuclear or by-product material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.

5. Materials subjected to in-situ mining techniques that are not removed from the ground as part of the extraction process.

6. Pulping liquors (i.e., black liquor) that are reclaimed in a pulping liquor recovery furnace and then reused in the pulping process, unless it is accumulated speculatively.

7. Spent sulfuric acid used to produce virgin sulfuric acid, unless it is accumulated speculatively.

8. Secondary materials that are reclaimed and returned to the original process or processes in which they were generated where they are reused in the production process provided:


a. Only tank storage is involved, and the entire process through completion of reclamation is closed by being entirely connected with pipes or other comparable enclosed means of conveyance;

b. Reclamation does not involve controlled flame combustion (such as occurs in boilers, industrial furnaces, or incinerators);

c. The secondary materials are never accumulated in such tanks for over twelve months without being reclaimed; and

d. The reclaimed material is not used to produce a fuel, or used to produce products that are used in a manner constituting disposal.

9. Spent wood preserving solutions that have been reclaimed and are reused for their original intended purpose; and wastewaters from the wood preserving process that have been reclaimed and are reused to treat wood. Prior to reuse, the wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions described here so long as they meet all of the following conditions:

a. The wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions are reused on-site at water borne plants in the production process for their original intended purpose;

b. Prior to reuse, the wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions are managed to prevent release to either land or groundwater or both;

c. Any unit used to manage wastewaters and/or spent wood preserving solutions prior to reuse can be visually or otherwise determined to prevent such releases;

d. Any drip pad used to manage the wastewaters and/or spent wood preserving solutions prior to reuse complies with the standards in part 265, subpart W of this chapter, regardless of whether the plant generates a total of less than 100 kg/month of hazardous waste; and

e. Prior to operating pursuant to this exclusion, the plant owner or operator submits to the appropriate Regional Administrator or State Director a one-time notification stating that the plant intends to claim the exclusion, giving the date on which the plant intends to begin operating under the exclusion, and containing the following language: ``I have read the applicable regulation establishing an exclusion for wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions and understand it requires me to comply at all times with the conditions set out in the regulation.'' The plant must maintain a copy of that document in its on-site records for a period of no less than 3 years from the date specified in the notice. The exclusion applies only so long as the plant meets all of the conditions. If the plant goes out of compliance with any condition, it may apply to the appropriate Regional Administrator or State Director for reinstatement. The Regional Administrator or State Director may reinstate the exclusion upon finding that the plant has returned to compliance with all conditions and that violations are not likely to recur.

9. EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. K060, K087, K141, K142, K143, K144, K145, K147, and K148, and any wastes from the coke by-products processes that are hazardous only because they exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) specified in section 261.24 of this part when, subsequent to generation, these materials are recycled to coke ovens, to the tar recovery process as a feedstock to produce coal tar, or mixed with coal tar prior to the tar's sale or refining. This exclusion is conditioned on there being no land disposal of the wastes from the point they are generated to the point they are recycled to coke ovens or tar recovery or refining processes, or mixed with coal tar.

10. Nonwastewater splash condenser dross residue from the treatment of K061 in high temperature metals recovery units, provided it is shipped in drums (if shipped) and not land disposed before recovery.


11. Oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials (i.e., sludges, byproducts, or spent materials) that are generated at a petroleum refinery (SIC code 2911) and are inserted into the petroleum refining process (SIC code 2911--including, but not limited to, distillation, catalytic cracking, fractionation, or thermal cracking units (i.e., cokers)) unless the material is placed on the land, or speculatively accumulated before being so recycled. Materials inserted into thermal cracking units are excluded under this paragraph, provided that the coke product also does not exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste. Oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials may be inserted into the same petroleum refinery where they are generated, or sent directly to another petroleum refinery, and still be excluded under this provision. Except as provided in paragraph 13 of this Appendix, oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials generated elsewhere in the petroleum industry (i.e., from sources other than petroleum refineries) are not excluded under this section. Residuals generated from processing or recycling materials excluded under this paragraph, where such materials as generated would have otherwise met a listing under 40 CFR 261, subpart D, are designated as F037 listed wastes when disposed of or intended for disposal.

Recovered oil that is recycled in the same manner and with the same conditions as described in paragraph 12 of this Appendix. Recovered oil is oil that has been reclaimed from secondary materials (including wastewater) generated from normal petroleum industry practices, including refining, exploration and production, bulk storage, and transportation incident thereto (SIC codes 1311, 1321, 1381, 1382, 1389, 2911, 4612, 4613, 4922, 4923, 4789, 5171, and 5172.) Recovered oil does not include oil-bearing hazardous wastes listed in subpart D of this part; however, oil recovered from such wastes may be considered recovered oil. Recovered oil does not include used oil as defined in 40 CFR 279.1.

12. Excluded scrap metal (processed scrap metal, unprocessed home scrap metal, and unprocessed prompt scrap metal) being recycled.

13. Shredded circuit boards being recycled provided that they are:a. Stored in containers sufficient to prevent a release to the environment prior to recovery; andb. Free of mercury switches, mercury relays and nickel-cadmium batteries and lithium batteries.

15. Condensates derived from the overhead gases from kraft mill steam strippers that are used to comply with 40 CFR 63.446(e). The exemption applies only to combustion at the mill generating the condensates.

16. Comparable fuels, emission-comparable fuels, or comparable syngas fuels that meet the requirements of 40 CFR 261.38.

17. Spent materials (as defined in 40 CFR 261.1) (other than hazardous wastes listed in subpart D of this part) generated within the primary mineral processing industry from which minerals, acids, cyanide, water, or other values are recovered by mineral processing or by beneficiation, provided that:

a. The spent material is legitimately recycled to recover minerals, acids, cyanide, water or other values;b. The spent material is not accumulated speculatively;c. Except as provided in paragraph (d)(17), the spent material is stored in tanks, containers, or buildings

meeting the following minimum integrity standards: a building must be an engineered structure with a floor, walls, and a roof all of which are made of non-earthen materials providing structural support (except smelter buildings may have partially earthen floors provided the secondary material is stored


on the non-earthen portion), and have a roof suitable for diverting rainwater away from the foundation; a tank must be free standing, not be a surface impoundment (as defined in 40 CFR 260.10), and be manufactured of a material suitable for containment of its contents; a container must be free standing and be manufactured of a material suitable for containment of its contents. If tanks or containers contain any particulate that may be subject to wind dispersal, the owner/operator must operate these units in a manner that controls fugitive dust. Tanks, containers, and buildings must be designed, constructed and operated to prevent significant releases to the environment of these materials.

The Regional Administrator or State Director may make a site-specific determination, after public review and comment, that only solid mineral processing spent material may be placed on pads rather than tanks containers, or buildings. Solid mineral processing spent materials do not contain any free liquid. The decision-maker must affirm that pads are designed, constructed and operated to prevent significant releases of the secondary material into the environment. Pads must provide the same degree of containment afforded by the non-RCRA tanks, containers and buildings eligible for exclusion.

i. The decision-maker must also consider if storage on pads poses the potential for significant releases via groundwater, surface water, and air exposure pathways. Factors to be considered for assessing the groundwater, surface water, air exposure pathways are: The volume and physical and chemical properties of the secondary material, including its potential for migration off the pad; the potential for human or environmental exposure to hazardous constituents migrating from the pad via each exposure pathway, and the possibility and extent of harm to human and environmental receptors via each exposure pathway.

ii. Pads must meet the following minimum standards: Be designed of non-earthen material that is compatible with the chemical nature of the mineral processing spent material, capable of withstanding physical stresses associated with placement and removal, have run on/runoff controls, be operated in a manner which controls fugitive dust, and have integrity assurance through inspections and maintenance programs.

iii. Before making a determination under this paragraph, the Regional Administrator or State Director must provide notice and the opportunity for comment to all persons potentially interested in the determination. This can be accomplished by placing notice of this action in major local newspapers, or broadcasting notice over local radio stations.

iv. The owner or operator provides notice to the Regional Administrator or State Director providing the following information: The types of materials to be recycled; the type and location of the storage units and recycling processes; and the annual quantities expected to be placed in land-based units. This notification must be updated when there is a change in the type of materials recycled or the location of the recycling process.

vi. For purposes of paragraph (7) of this Appendix, mineral processing spent materials must be the result of mineral processing and may not include any listed hazardous wastes. Listed hazardous wastes and characteristic hazardous wastes generated by non-mineral processing industries are not eligible for the conditional exclusion from the definition of solid waste.

18. Petrochemical recovered oil from an associated organic chemical manufacturing facility, where the oil is to be inserted into the petroleum refining process (SIC code 2911) along with normal petroleum refinery process streams, provided:


a. The oil is hazardous only because it exhibits the characteristic of ignitability (as defined in 40 CFR 261.21) and/or toxicity for benzene (40 CFR 261.24, waste code D018); and

b. The oil generated by the organic chemical manufacturing facility is not placed on the land, or speculatively accumulated before being recycled into the petroleum refining process. An ``associated organic chemical manufacturing facility'' is a facility where the primary SIC code is 2869, but where operations may also include SIC codes 2821, 2822, and 2865; and is physically co-located with a petroleum refinery; and where the petroleum refinery to which the oil being recycled is returned also provides hydrocarbon feedstocks to the organic chemical manufacturing facility. ``Petrochemical recovered oil'' is oil that has been reclaimed from secondary materials (i.e., sludges, byproducts, or spent materials, including wastewater) from normal organic chemical manufacturing operations, as well as oil recovered from organic chemical manufacturing processes.

19. Spent caustic solutions from petroleum refining liquid treating processes used as a feedstock to produce cresylic or naphthenic acid unless the material is placed on the land, or accumulated speculatively as defined in 40 CFR 261.1(c).

20 and 21 refer to zinc fertilizers.

19. Used cathode ray tubes (CRTs) a. Used, intact CRTs as defined in 40 CFR 260.10 are not solid wastes within the United States

unless they are disposed, or unless they are speculatively accumulated as defined in 40 CFR 261.1(c)(8) by CRT collectors or glass processors.

b. Used, intact CRTs as defined in 40 CFR 260.10 of this chapter are not solid wastes when exported for recycling provided that they meet the requirements of 40 CFR 261.40.

c. Used, broken CRTs as defined in 40 CFR 260.10 of this chapter are not solid wastes provided that they meet the requirements of 40 CFR 261.39.

d. Glass removed from CRTs is not a solid waste provided that it meets the requirements of 40 CFR 261.39(c).

Notes to the table: 1. The waste descriptions provided in this table do not replace waste descriptions in 40 CFR 261. Descriptions of Treatment/Regulatory Subcategories are provided, as needed, to distinguish between applicability of different standards.

2. CAS means Chemical Abstract Services. When the waste code and/or regulated constituents are described as a combination of a chemical with its salts and/or esters, the CAS number is given for the parent compound only.

3. Concentration standards for wastewaters are expressed in mg/l and are based on analysis of composite samples. 4. All treatment standards expressed as a Technology Code or combination of Technology Codes are explained in detail in 40 CFR 268.42 Table 1-Technology Codes and Descriptions of Technology-Based Standards. 5. Except for Metals (EP or TCLP) and Cyanides (Total and Amenable) the nonwastewater treatment standards expressed as a concentration were established, in part, based upon incineration in units operated in accordance with the technical requirements of 40 CFR part 264, subpart O or 40 CFR part 265, subpart O, or based upon combustion in fuel substitution units operating in accordance with applicable technical requirements. A facility may comply with these treatment standards according to provisions in 40 CFR 268.40(d). All concentration standards for nonwastewaters are based on analysis of grab samples.

6. Where an alternate treatment standard or set of alternate standards has been indicated, a facility may comply with this alternate standard, but only for the Treatment/Regulatory Subcategory or physical form (i.e., wastewater and/or nonwastewater) specified for that alternate standard.

7 Both Cyanides (Total) and Cyanides (Amenable) for nonwastewaters are to be analyzed using Method 9010C or 9012B, found in “Test Methods' for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,” EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in 40 CFR 260.11, with a sample size of 10 grams and a distillation time of one hour and 15 minutes.

8. These wastes, when rendered nonhazardous and then subsequently managed in CWA, or CWA-equivalent systems are not subject to treatment standards. (See 40 CFR 148.1(d) and 40 CFR 268.1(c)(3) and (4)).






Code4)



9. These wastes, when rendered nonhazardous and then subsequently injected in a Class I SDWA well are not subject to treatment standards. (See 40 CFR 148.1(d)).

10. The treatment standard for this waste may be satisfied by either meeting the constituent concentrations in this table or by treating the waste by the specified technologies: combustion, as defined by the technology code CMBST at 40 CFR 268.42 Table 1 of this Part, for nonwastewaters; and, biodegradation as defined by the technology code BIODG, carbon adsorption as defined by the technology code CARBN, chemical oxidation as defined by the technology code CHOXD, or combustion as defined as technology code CMBST at 40 CFR 268.42 Table 1 of this Part, for wastewaters. 11. For these wastes, the definition of CMBST is limited to: (1) combustion units operating under 40 CFR 266, (2) combustion units permitted under 40 CFR part 264, subpart O, or (3) combustion units operating under 40 CFR 265, subpart O, which have obtained a determination of equivalent treatment under 268.42(b).

12. Disposal of K175 wastes that have complied with all applicable 40 CFR 268.40 treatment standards must also be macroencapsulated in accordance with 40 CFR 268.45 Table 1 unless the waste is placed in: (a) A Subtitle C monofill containing only K175 wastes that meet all applicable 40 CFR 268.40 treatment standards; or (b) A dedicated Subtitle C landfill cell in which all other wastes being co-disposed are at pH6.0.

NOTE: NA means not applicable.

AMLGM Amalgamation of liquid, elemental mercury contaminated with radioactive materials utilizing inorganic reagents such as copper, zinc, nickel, gold, and sulfur that result in a nonliquid, semisolid amalgam and thereby reducing potential emissions of elemental mercury vapors to the air.

BIODG Biodegradation of organics or nonorganics (i.e., degradable inorganics that contain the elements of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur) in units operated under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has been substantially reduced in concentration in the residuals (e.g., total organic carbon can often be used as an indicator parameter for the biodegradation of many organic constituents that cannot be directly analyzed in wastewater residues).

CARBN Carbon adsorption (granulated or powered) of nonmetallic inorganics, organo-metallics, and/or organic constituents, operated such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has not undergone breakthrough (e.g., total organic carbon can often be used as an indicator parameter for absorption of many organic constituents that cannot be directly analyzed in wastewater residues). Breakthrough occurs when the carbon has become saturated with the constituent (or indicator parameter) and substantial change in adsorption rate associated with that constituent occurs.

CHOXD Chemical or electrolytic oxidation utilizing the following oxidation reagents (or waste reagents) or combinations of reagents: 1. hypochlorite (e.g., bleach); 2. chlorine; 3. chlorine dioxide; 4. ozone or UV (ultraviolet light) assisted ozone; 5. peroxides; 6. persulfates; 7. perchlorates; 8. permangantes; and/or 9. other oxidizing reagents of equivalent efficiency, performed in units operated such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has been substantially reduced in concentration in the residuals (e.g., total organic carbon can often be used as an indicator parameter for the oxidation of many organic constituents that cannot be directly analyzed in wastewater residues). Chemical oxidation specifically indicates what is commonly referred to as alkaline chlorination.

STABL Stabilization with the following reagents (or waste reagents) or combinations of reagents: (1) Portland cement; or (2) lime/pozzolans (e.g., fly ash and cement kiln dust). Note: This does not preclude the addition of reagents (e.g., iron slats, silicates, and clays) designed to enhance the set/cure time and/or compressive strength, or to overall reduce the leachability of the metal or inorganic.

SSTRP Steam stripping of organics from liquid wastes utilizing direct application of steam to the wastes operated such that liquid and vapor flow rates, as well as temperature and pressure ranges, have been optimized, monitored, and maintained. These operating parameters are dependent upon the design parameters of the unit, such as the number of separation stages and the internal column design, thus resulting in a condensed extract high in organics that must undergo incineration, reuse as a fuel, or other recovery/reuse and an extract wastewater that must undergo further treatment as specified in the standard.

WETOX Wet air oxidation performed in units such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has been substantially reduced in concentration in the residuals (e.g., total organic carbon can often be used as an indicator for the oxidation of many organic constituents that cannot be directly analyzed in wastewater residues).
