This document discusses environmental waste management and regulations. It covers the main statutes governing hazardous waste (RCRA and CERCLA), waste determination procedures, disposal options and considerations, land disposal restrictions, the transportation process, and containerization requirements. The overall topic is compliance with EPA and DOT regulations for proper handling, transportation, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial wastes.

Amendments
 Treatment Standards
– ie. Non-WW D008 (lead) = 0.75mg/l
 Treatment Technologies
– ie. Non-WW D002 (corrosive) DEACT

7. Disposal Considerations
 EPA Treatment Hierarchy
 Waste Codes & Land Disposal Restrictions
 MSC Restrictions

8. Waste Determination
 Hazardous Waste
– Characteristic
D001: Ignitable / FP <140°F
D002: Corrosive / pH <2 or >12.5
D003: Reactive / violent change
D004-D043: Toxic / TCLP

9. Waste Determination
 Hazardous Waste
– Listed
F: Non-Specific Source
K: Specific Source
U: Unused Commercial Chemical Product
P: Acutely Hazardous Waste

10. Waste Determination
 Universal Waste
Lamps
Batteries
Pesticides
Mercury Containing Equipment

11. Waste Determination
 State Regulated Waste
– State Waste codes
 CA, MA, NY
– “Special” Waste
 Examples
– Antifreeze and other non-hazardous liquids

12. Material Determination
 9 Hazard Classes
– 3, 8, and 9 are the most common

13. Material Determination
 Proper Shipping Description Examples
UN1203, Gasoline, 3, IIUN1203, Gasoline, 3, II
NA3082, Hazardous Waste Solid,NA3082, Hazardous Waste Solid,
n.o.s. (D008), 9, IIIn.o.s. (D008), 9, III

14. The “Process”
 TSD: Treatment, Storage, Disposal
– Issued permit by the state
– Waste Profile demonstrates compliance with the
permit

15. Elements of the “Profile”
 Waste Stream Name
 Process Generating
 Storage Time, Climate/Conditions
 Waste Codes
 Properties (flash, solids, ph, etc.)
 DOT information
 Composition

16. The “Process”
 TSD: Treatment, Storage, Disposal
– Issued permit by the state
– Waste Profile demonstrates compliance with the
permit
– Analytical or not?
– WAP verifies that waste received matches the
profile it was approved under
– Off-specs

17. The Manifest
 Completes “Cradle to Grave”
 6 copies to each document

18. Containerization
 EPA
– DM, DF, TP, TT
 DOT
– POPS
– U/N Rated
– 1A1, 1H2, 4G
