3 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved EPA and OSHA  EPA rules are designed to protect human health and the environment, focusing on off-site receptors (env. media and the public) rather than employees  Little consideration of OSHA standards, and no cross references to OSHA standards  More coordination between DOT rules and EPA rules in the establishment of RCRA regs  Bottom Line: Compliance with RCRA rules no assurance of compliance with OSHA standards

74 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved A Practical Approach to Land Disposal Restrictions (40 CFR 268)

75 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved General Outline  Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) are found at 40 CFR Part 268.  LDR regulations developed to reduce the toxicity and/or mobility of hazardous waste constituents that are land disposed.  Majority of hazardous wastes do not meet treatment standards as generated

76 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved General Outline  Hazardous wastes must meet LDR treatment standards before they can be land disposed. Treatment standards are based on Best Demonstrated Available Technology, or BDAT. Technology-based rather than health- or risk-based. LDR treatment standards attach at the point of initial generation.

77 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved General Outline  Definition of "wastewater" under LDR regulations is a waste that contains less than 1% total suspended solids and less than 1% total organic carbon.  Subcategories further categorize certain hazardous wastes. Not all waste codes have subcategories.

78 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved General Outline  Three types of treatment standards :  Total Waste Standards (totals analysis);  Waste Extract Standards (TCLP analysis); or  Specified Technology Standards (specify a treatment technology by five letter code, rather than constituent concentration).

79 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved General Outline  Concentration-based Universal Treatment Standards (UTS) specify a single numerical treatment standard for each organic, metal and cyanide constituent, regardless of the type of waste, that must be met prior to land disposal.

80 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved General Outline  There is One Table at 40 CFR 268.40 That Specifies All Treatment Standards for the Various Hazardous Wastes  Waste Code, Description/Subcategory, Regulated Hazardous Constituents, and Wastewater/Non-Wastewater Treatment Standards  One Treatment Standard for Wastewater and One for Non-Wastewater for Each Waste Code

81 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved Generator Requirements

82 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved Eight Elements for LDR Compliance  Determine, at the Point of Generation, All Applicable Codes, the Category (WW or Non-WW), and the Subcategory (If Any) for Each Restricted Waste.  Determine Which Treatment Standard(s) Apply to Each Restricted Waste

83 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved Eight Elements for LDR Compliance  Identify Underlying Hazardous Constituents (Where Required).  Determine, Through Specified Analytical Techniques or Knowledge of the Waste, Whether the Treatment Standard Has Been Achieved.  Comply With Time Limitations.

84 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved Eight Elements for LDR Compliance  Comply with prohibitions on evaporation and dilution.  Prepare notifications and/or certifications required for onsite or offsite waste management.  Comply with recordkeeping requirements to maintain all LDR documentation.

88 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved  Prepare a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Form 8700-22), Utilizing Appropriate Form per Acquisition Hierarchy. Prepare the Appropriate Notice(s) for Restricted Waste Shipments to Treatment Facilities. Prepare the Appropriate Certification(s) for Restricted Waste Shipments to Land Disposal Facilities. Generators Shipping Hazardous Wastes Off-Site

89 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved  Offer the Transporter Appropriate Placards.  Sign and Date Manifest, Certifying Shipment Meets EPA and DOT Pre-transportation Requirements. Signature also Certifies that a Waste Minimization Program is in Place, and that the Method of T, S, or D Selected is Environmentally Appropriate. Generators Shipping Hazardous Wastes Off-Site

90 Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved  Obtain Signature of Transporter and Date of Acceptance  Retain One Copy of the Signed Manifest and Give the Remaining Copies to the Transporter Generators Shipping Hazardous Wastes Off-Site
