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

Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved Hazardous Waste Regulatory Program Overview

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

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved General Outline  There is One Table at 40 CFR 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

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

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

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.

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.

Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved EPA/DOT Regulatory Requirements

Copyright 2004, Heritage Environmental Services, LLC – All Rights Reserved  Select Appropriate Shipping Description and Determine If RQ Is Being Shipped in a Single Container  Perform LDR determinations  Comply With DOT Requirements for Packaging, Labeling and Marking Generators Shipping Hazardous Wastes Off-Site
