Subject: Hazardous
Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste:
Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing Wastes; Land Disposal Restrictions for
Newly Identified Wastes; and CERCLA Hazardous Substance Designation and
Reportable Quantities; Final Rule
Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is listing
as hazardous three wastes generated from inorganic chemical manufacturing
processes. EPA is promulgating these regulations under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA), which directs EPA to determine whether certain
wastes generated by inorganic chemical manufacturing industries may present
a substantial hazard to human health or the environment. The effects of
listing these three wastes as hazardous are to subject them to: comprehensive
management and treatment standards under Subtitle C of RCRA; and emergency
notification requirements for releases to the environment under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This
final rule also adds the toxic constituents found in the wastes being
listed as hazardous to the list of constituents that serves as the basis
for
classifying wastes as hazardous and establishing treatment standards for
the wastes. Additionally, EPA is making final determinations not to list
the remainder of wastes generated by inorganic chemical manufacturing
processes that were described in our proposed listing determination. Finally,
EPA is applying universal treatment standards (UTS) under the Land Disposal
Restrictions program to the inorganic chemical manufacturing wastes listed
in this rulemaking. The listed wastes must be treated to meet these treatment
standards for specific constituents prior to land disposal. At this time,
however, we are deferring final action on all elements of the proposal
related to manganese.

Disposal Restrictions: Notice of Intent to Grant Two Site-Specific Treatment
Variances--U.S. Ecology Idaho, Incorporated in Grandview, Idaho and CWM
Chemical Services, LLC in Model City, New York; Proposed Rule (PDF) (6 pp, 181K About PDF)
Abstract: EPA proposed to grant two site-specific treatment variances
from the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) standards for wastes generated
at U.S. Ecology Idaho, Incorporated (USEII) in Grandview, Idaho, and CWM
Chemical Services, LLC (CWM) in Model City, New York. Both these waste
streams are derived-from the treatment of multiple listed, including K088,
and characteristic hazardous wastes. USEII and CWM are both requesting
treatment variances for K088 derived-from hazardous waste because they
contend that the chemical properties of their wastes differ significantly
from the waste used to establish the LDR treatment standard for arsenic
in K088 nonwastewaters.

Land Disposal Restrictions: Granting of a Site-Specific Treatment Variance
to Dupont Environmental Treatment--Chambers Works Wastewater Treatment
Plant, Deepwater, NJ (PDF) (4 pp, 171K About PDF)
Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is
promulgating a site-specific treatment variance from the Land Disposal
Restrictions (LDR) standards for wastewater treatment sludge generated
at the Dupont Environmental Treatment (DET)--Chambers Works Wastewater
Treatment Plant located in Deepwater, New Jersey. This sludge is derived
from the treatment of multiple listed wastes, including K088, and characteristic
hazardous waste, and differs significantly from the waste used to establish
the LDR treatment standard for arsenic in K088 nonwastewaters. Accordingly,
we are finalizing an alternate treatment standard of 5.0 mg/L Toxicity
Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) for the arsenic in the wastewater
treatment sludge generated at this facility. This treatment variance requires
DET to dispose of their wastewater treatment sludge in their on-site RCRA
Subtitle C landfill provided the sludge complies with the specified alternate
treatment standard for arsenic in K088 nonwastewaters and meets all other
applicable LDR treatment standards.

Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of
Hazardous Waste; Paint Production Wastes; Proposed Rule
Abstract:The EPA proposes to amend the regulations
for hazardous waste management under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) by listing as hazardous certain
waste solids and liquids generated from the production
of paint. EPA is proposing a concentration-based listing
approach for each of these wastes. Under this approach,
the identified paint production wastes are hazardous if
they contain any of the constituents of concern at concentrations
that meet or exceed regulatory levels. Generators must
determine whether their wastes are listed hazardous wastes.
If their wastes are below regulatory levels for all constituents
of concern, then their wastes are nonhazardous. This proposal
would also add the toxic constituents n-butyl alcohol,
ethyl benzene, methyl isobutyl ketone, styrene, and xylenes
found in these identified wastes to the list of constituents
that serves as the basis for classifying wastes as hazardous,
and to establish treatment standards for the wastes. If
these paint production wastes are listed as hazardous
waste, then they will be subject to stringent management
and treatment standards under Subtitle C of RCRA. Additionally,
this action proposes to designate these wastes as hazardous
substances subject to the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and
to adjust the one pound statutory reportable quantities
(RQs) for these substances. Other actions proposed in
this notice would add acrylamide and styrene to the treatment
standards applicable to multisource leachate and designate
styrene as an underlying hazardous constituent. As a result,
a single waste code would continue to be applicable to
multisource landfill leachates and residues of characteristic
wastes would require treatment when styrene is present
above the proposed land disposal standards.
