                               EXPLANATION

    The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and 
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided 
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal 
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the 
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into 
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
    Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year 
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1

    The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each 
volume.

LEGAL STATUS

    The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially 
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie 
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).

HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

    The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual 
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used 
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
    To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its 
revision date (in this case, July 1, 1999), consult the ``List of CFR 
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative 
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of 
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal 
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

    Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal 
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source 
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page 
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication 
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be 
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In 
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the 
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In 
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register 
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be 
inserted following the text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires 
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information 
collection request.

[[Page vi]]

Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as 
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are 
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting 
requirements.

OBSOLETE PROVISIONS

    Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on 
the cover of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text 
of provisions in effect on a given date in the past by using the 
appropriate numerical list of sections affected. For the period before 
January 1, 1986, consult either the List of CFR Sections Affected, 1949-
1963, 1964-1972, or 1973-1985, published in seven separate volumes. For 
the period beginning January 1, 1986, a ``List of CFR Sections 
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

    What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was 
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the 
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring 
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be 
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal 
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as 
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)). 
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force 
of law.
    What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the 
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when 
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which 
approval is based are:
    (a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of 
material published in the Federal Register.
    (b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent 
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative 
process.
    (c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for 
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
    Properly approved incorporations by reference in this volume are 
listed in the Finding Aids at the end of this volume.
    What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If 
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed in 
the Finding Aids of this volume as an approved incorporation by 
reference, please contact the agency that issued the regulation 
containing that incorporation. If, after contacting the agency, you find 
the material is not available, please notify the Director of the Federal 
Register, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington DC 
20408, or call (202) 523-4534.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES

    A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a 
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index 
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Statutory 
Authorities and Agency Rules (Table I). A list of CFR titles, chapters, 
and parts and an alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are 
also included in this volume.
    An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within 
that volume.
    The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. 
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in 
the daily Federal Register.
    A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to 
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

Subparts A--B [Reserved]



 Subpart C--Recyclable Materials Used in a Manner Constituting Disposal



Sec. 266.20  Applicability.

    (a) The regulations of this subpart apply to recyclable materials 
that are applied to or placed on the land:
    (1) Without mixing with any other substance(s); or
    (2) 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.''
    (b) 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 part 268 (or applicable 
prohibition levels in Sec. 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. Commercial fertilizers that 
are produced for the general public's use that 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 presently subject to regulation.
    (c) 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 not covered by the 
exemption in paragraph (b) of this section and remain subject to 
regulation.

  Subpart H--Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces

    Source: 56 FR 7208, Feb. 21, 1991, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 266.100  Applicability.

    (a) The regulations of this subpart apply to hazardous waste burned 
or processed in a boiler or industrial furnace (as defined in 
Sec. 260.10 of this chapter) irrespective of the purpose of burning or 
processing, except as provided by paragraphs (b), (c), (d), and (f) of 
this section. In this subpart, the term ``burn'' means burning for 
energy recovery or destruction, or processing for materials recovery or 
as an ingredient. The emissions standards of Secs. 266.104, 266.105, 
266.106, and 266.107 apply to facilities operating under interim status 
or under a RCRA permit as specified in Secs. 266.102 and 266.103.
    (b) The following hazardous wastes and facilities are not subject to 
regulation under this subpart:
    (1) Used oil burned for energy recovery that is also a hazardous 
waste solely because it exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste 
identified in subpart C of part 261 of this chapter. Such used oil is 
subject to regulation under part 279 of this chapter;
    (2) Gas recovered from hazardous or solid waste landfills when such 
gas is burned for energy recovery;
    (3) Hazardous wastes that are exempt from regulation under 
Secs. 261.4 and 261.6(a)(3) (iii) and (iv) of this chapter, and 
hazardous wastes that are subject to the special requirements for 
conditionally exempt small quantity generators under Sec. 261.5 of this 
chapter; and
    (4) Coke ovens, if the only hazardous waste burned is EPA Hazardous 
Waste No. K087, decanter tank tar sludge from coking operations.
    (c) Owners and operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces 
(including pyrometallurgical devices such as cupolas, sintering 
machines, roasters, and foundry furnaces, but not including cement 
kilns, aggregate kilns, or halogen acid furnaces burning hazardous 
waste) that process hazardous waste solely for metal recovery are

[[Page 10]]

conditionally exempt from regulation under this subpart, except for 
Secs. 266.101 and 266.112.
    (1) To be exempt from Secs. 266.102 through 266.111, an owner or 
operator of a metal recovery furnace or mercury recovery furnace, must 
comply with the following requirements, except that an owner or operator 
of a lead or a nickel-chromium recovery furnace, or a metal recovery 
furnace that burns baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted 
by steel manufacturing, must comply with the requirements of paragraph 
(c)(3) of this section:
    (i) Provide a one-time written notice to the Director indicating the 
following:
    (A) The owner or operator claims exemption under this paragraph;
    (B) The hazardous waste is burned solely for metal recovery 
consistent with the provisions of paragraph (c)(2) of this section;
    (C) The hazardous waste contains recoverable levels of metals; and
    (D) The owner or operator will comply with the sampling and analysis 
and recordkeeping requirements of this paragraph;
    (ii) Sample and analyze the hazardous waste and other feedstocks as 
necessary to comply with the requirements of this paragraph under 
procedures specified by Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, 
Physical/Chemical Methods, SW-846, incorporated by reference in 
Sec. 260.11 of this chapter or alternative methods that meet or exceed 
the SW-846 method performance capabilities. If SW-846 does not prescribe 
a method for a particular determination, the owner or operator shall use 
the best available method; and
    (iii) Maintain at the facility for at least three years records to 
document compliance with the provisions of this paragraph including 
limits on levels of toxic organic constituents and Btu value of the 
waste, and levels of recoverable metals in the hazardous waste compared 
to normal nonhazardous waste feedstocks.
    (2) A hazardous waste meeting either of the following criteria is 
not processed solely for metal recovery:
    (i) The hazardous waste has a total concentration of organic 
compounds listed in part 261, appendix VIII, of this chapter exceeding 
500 ppm by weight, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned for 
destruction. The concentration of organic compounds in a waste as-
generated may be reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide treatment 
that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending for dilution to 
meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited and documentation that the waste 
has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in the records 
required by paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section; or
    (ii) The hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or 
more, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned as fuel. The heating 
value of a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the 5,000 Btu/lb 
limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic 
constituents. Blending for dilution to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is 
prohibited and documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly 
diluted must be retained in the records required by paragraph 
(c)(1)(iii) of this section.
    (3) To be exempt from Secs. 266.102 through 266.111, an owner or 
operator of a lead or nickel-chromium or mercury recovery furnace, or a 
metal recovery furnace that burns baghouse bags used to capture metallic 
dusts emitted by steel manufacturing, must provide a one-time written 
notice to the Director identifying each hazardous waste burned and 
specifying whether the owner or operator claims an exemption for each 
waste under this paragraph or paragraph (c)(1) of this section. The 
owner or operator must comply with the requirements of paragraph (c)(1) 
of this section for those wastes claimed to be exempt under that 
paragraph and must comply with the requirements below for those wastes 
claimed to be exempt under this paragraph (c)(3).
    (i) The hazardous wastes listed in appendices XI, XII, and XIII, 
part 266, and baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by 
steel manufacturing are exempt from the requirements of paragraph (c)(1) 
of this section, provided that:
    (A) A waste listed in appendix IX of this part must contain 
recoverable levels of lead, a waste listed in appendix XII of this part 
must contain recoverable levels of nickel or chromium, a

[[Page 11]]

waste listed in appendix XIII of this part must contain recoverable 
levels of mercury and contain less than 500 ppm of 40 CFR part 261, 
appendix VIII organic constituents, and baghouse bags used to capture 
metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing must contain recoverable 
levels of metal; and
    (B) The waste does not exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic of 
Sec. 261.24 of this chapter for an organic constituent; and
    (C) The waste is not a hazardous waste listed in subpart D of part 
261 of this chapter because it is listed for an organic constituent as 
identified in appendix VII of part 261 of this chapter; and
    (D) The owner or operator certifies in the one-time notice that 
hazardous waste is burned under the provisions of paragraph (c)(3) of 
this section and that sampling and analysis will be conducted or other 
information will be obtained as necessary to ensure continued compliance 
with these requirements. Sampling and analysis shall be conducted 
according to paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section and records to 
document compliance with paragraph (c)(3) of this section shall be kept 
for at least three years.
    (ii) The Director may decide on a case-by-case basis that the toxic 
organic constituents in a material listed in appendix XI, XII, or XIII 
of this part that contains a total concentration of more than 500 ppm 
toxic organic compounds listed in appendix VIII, part 261 of this 
chapter, may pose a hazard to human health and the environment when 
burned in a metal recovery furnace exempt from the requirements of this 
subpart. In that situation, after adequate notice and opportunity for 
comment, the metal recovery furnace will become subject to the 
requirements of this subpart when burning that material. In making the 
hazard determination, the Director will consider the following factors:
    (A) The concentration and toxicity of organic constituents in the 
material; and
    (B) The level of destruction of toxic organic constituents provided 
by the furnace; and
    (C) Whether the acceptable ambient levels established in appendices 
IV or V of this part may be exceeded for any toxic organic compound that 
may be emitted based on dispersion modeling to predict the maximum 
annual average off-site ground level concentration.
    (d) The standards for direct transfer operations under Sec. 266.111 
apply only to facilities subject to the permit standards of Sec. 266.102 
or the interim status standards of Sec. 266.103.
    (e) The management standards for residues under Sec. 266.112 apply 
to any boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste.
    (f) Owners and operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces 
(including pyrometallurgical devices such as cupolas, sintering 
machines, roasters, and foundry furnaces) that process hazardous waste 
for recovery of economically significant amounts of the precious metals 
gold, silver, platinum, paladium, irridium, osmium, rhodium, or 
ruthenium, or any combination of these are conditionally exempt from 
regulation under this subpart, except for Sec. 266.112. To be exempt 
from Secs. 266.101 through 266.111, an owner or operator must:
    (1) Provide a one-time written notice to the Director indicating the 
following:
    (i) The owner or operator claims exemption under this paragraph;
    (ii) The hazardous waste is burned for legitimate recovery of 
precious metal; and
    (iii) The owner or operator will comply with the sampling and 
analysis and recordkeeping requirements of this paragraph; and
    (2) Sample and analyze the hazardous waste as necessary to document 
that the waste is burned for recovery of economically significant 
amounts of precious metal using procedures specified by Test Methods for 
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, SW-846, incorporated 
by reference in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter or alternative methods that 
meet or exceed the SW-846 method performance capabilities. If SW-846 
does not prescribe a method for a particular determination, the owner or 
operator shall use the best available method; and
    (3) Maintain at the facility for at least three years records to 
document that all hazardous wastes burned are

[[Page 12]]

burned for recovery of economically significant amounts of precious 
metal.

[56 FR 7208, Feb. 21, 1991, as amended at 57 FR 38564, Aug. 25, 1992]



Sec. 266.102  Permit standards for burners.

    (a) Applicability--(1) General. Owners and operators of boilers and 
industrial furnaces burning hazardous waste and not operating under 
interim status must comply with the requirements of this section and 
Secs. 270.22 and 270.66 of this chapter, unless exempt under the small 
quantity burner exemption of Sec. 266.108.
    (2) Applicability of part 264 standards. Owners and operators of 
boilers and industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste are subject to 
the following provisions of part 264 of this chapter, except as provided 
otherwise by this subpart:

Federal government are exempt from the requirements of subpart H; and
    (ix) Subpart BB (Air emission standards for equipment leaks), except 
Secs. 264.1050(a).
    (b) Hazardous waste analysis. (1) The owner or operator must provide 
an analysis of the hazardous waste that quantifies the concentration of 
any constituent identified in appendix VIII of part 261 of this chapter 
that may reasonably be expected to be in the waste. Such constituents 
must be identified and quantified if present, at levels detectable by 
analytical procedures prescribed by Test Methods for Evaluating Solid 
Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods (incorporated by reference, see 
Sec. 260.11 of this chapter). Alternative methods that meet or exceed 
the method performance capabilities of SW-846 methods may be used. If 
SW-846 does not prescribe a method for a particular determination, the 
owner or operator shall use the best available method. The appendix 
VIII, part 261 constituents excluded from this analysis must be 
identified and the basis for their exclusion explained. This analysis 
will be

[[Page 13]]

used to provide all information required by this subpart and Sec. 270.22 
and Sec. 270.66 of this chapter and to enable the permit writer to 
prescribe such permit conditions as necessary to protect human health 
and the environment. Such analysis must be included as a portion of the 
part B permit application, or, for facilities operating under the 
interim status standards of this subpart, as a portion of the trial burn 
plan that may be submitted before the part B application under 
provisions of Sec. 270.66(g) of this chapter as well as any other 
analysis required by the permit authority in preparing the permit. 
Owners and operators of boilers and industrial furnaces not operating 
under the interim status standards must provide the information required 
by Secs. 270.22 or 270.66(c) of this chapter in the part B application 
to the greatest extent possible.
    (2) Throughout normal operation, the owner or operator must conduct 
sampling and analysis as necessary to ensure that the hazardous waste, 
other fuels, and industrial furnace feedstocks fired into the boiler or 
industrial furnace are within the physical and chemical composition 
limits specified in the permit.
    (c) Emissions standards. Owners and operators must comply with 
emissions standards provided by Secs. 266.104 through 266.107.
    (d) Permits. (1) The owner or operator may burn only hazardous 
wastes specified in the facility permit and only under the operating 
conditions specified under paragraph (e) of this section, except in 
approved trial burns under the conditions specified in Sec. 270.66 of 
this chapter.
    (2) Hazardous wastes not specified in the permit may not be burned 
until operating conditions have been specified under a new permit or 
permit modification, as applicable. Operating requirements for new 
wastes may be based on either trial burn results or alternative data 
included with part B of a permit application under Sec. 270.22 of this 
chapter.
    (3) Boilers and industrial furnaces operating under the interim 
status standards of Sec. 266.103 are permitted under procedures provided 
by Sec. 270.66(g) of this chapter.
    (4) A permit for a new boiler or industrial furnace (those boilers 
and industrial furnaces not operating under the interim status 
standards) must establish appropriate conditions for each of the 
applicable requirements of this section, including but not limited to 
allowable hazardous waste firing rates and operating conditions 
necessary to meet the requirements of paragraph (e) of this section, in 
order to comply with the following standards:
    (i) For the period beginning with initial introduction of hazardous 
waste and ending with initiation of the trial burn, and only for the 
minimum time required to bring the device to a point of operational 
readiness to conduct a trial burn, not to exceed a duration of 720 hours 
operating time when burning hazardous waste, the operating requirements 
must be those most likely to ensure compliance with the emission 
standards of Secs. 266.104 through 266.107, based on the Director's 
engineering judgment. If the applicant is seeking a waiver from a trial 
burn to demonstrate conformance with a particular emission standard, the 
operating requirements during this initial period of operation shall 
include those specified by the applicable provisions of Sec. 266.104, 
Sec. 266.105, Sec. 266.106, or Sec. 266.107. The Director may extend the 
duration of this period for up to 720 additional hours when good cause 
for the extension is demonstrated by the applicant.
    (ii) For the duration of the trial burn, the operating requirements 
must be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the emissions 
standards of Secs. 266.104 through 266.107 and must be in accordance 
with the approved trial burn plan;
    (iii) For the period immediately following completion of the trial 
burn, and only for the minimum period sufficient to allow sample 
analysis, data computation, submission of the trial burn results by the 
applicant, review of the trial burn results and modification of the 
facility permit by the Director to reflect the trial burn results, the 
operating requirements must be those most likely to ensure compliance 
with the emission standards Secs. 266.104 through 266.107 based on the 
Director's engineering judgment.

[[Page 14]]

    (iv) For the remaining duration of the permit, the operating 
requirements must be those demonstrated in a trial burn or by 
alternative data specified in Sec. 270.22 of this chapter, as sufficient 
to ensure compliance with the emissions standards of Secs. 266.104 
through 266.107.
    (e) Operating requirements--(1) General. A boiler or industrial 
furnace burning hazardous waste must be operated in accordance with the 
operating requirements specified in the permit at all times where there 
is hazardous waste in the unit.
    (2) Requirements to ensure compliance with the organic emissions 
standards--(i) DRE standard. Operating conditions will be specified 
either on a case-by-case basis for each hazardous waste burned as those 
demonstrated (in a trial burn or by alternative data as specified in 
Sec. 270.22) to be sufficient to comply with the destruction and removal 
efficiency (DRE) performance standard of Sec. 266.104(a) or as those 
special operating requirements provided by Sec. 266.104(a)(4) for the 
waiver of the DRE trial burn. When the DRE trial burn is not waived 
under Sec. 266.104(a)(4), each set of operating requirements will 
specify the composition of the hazardous waste (including acceptable 
variations in the physical and chemical properties of the hazardous 
waste which will not affect compliance with the DRE performance 
standard) to which the operating requirements apply. For each such 
hazardous waste, the permit will specify acceptable operating limits 
including, but not limited to, the following conditions as appropriate:
    (A) Feed rate of hazardous waste and other fuels measured and 
specified as prescribed in paragraph (e)(6) of this section;
    (B) Minimum and maximum device production rate when producing normal 
product expressed in appropriate units, measured and specified as 
prescribed in paragraph (e)(6) of this section;

documentation is provided under Sec. 270.66 of this chapter 
demonstrating adequate combustion gas residence time; and
    (G) Such other operating requirements as are necessary to ensure 
that the DRE performance standard of Sec. 266.104(a) is met.
    (ii) Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon standards. The permit must 
incorporate a carbon monoxide (CO) limit and, as appropriate, a 
hydrocarbon (HC) limit as provided by paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) and 
(f) of Sec. 266.104. The permit limits will be specified as follows:
    (A) When complying with the CO standard of Sec. 266.104(b)(1), the 
permit limit is 100 ppmv;
    (B) When complying with the alternative CO standard under 
Sec. 266.104(c), the permit limit for CO is based on the trial burn and 
is established as the average over all valid runs of the highest hourly 
rolling average CO level of each run, and the permit limit for HC is 20 
ppmv (as defined in Sec. 266.104(c)(1)), except as provided in 
Sec. 266.104(f).
    (C) When complying with the alternative HC limit for industrial 
furnaces under Sec. 266.104(f), the permit limit for HC and CO is the 
baseline level when hazardous waste is not burned as specified by that 
paragraph.
    (iii) Start-up and shut-down. During start-up and shut-down of the 
boiler or industrial furnace, hazardous waste (except waste fed solely 
as an ingredient under the Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) feed rate 
screening limits for metals and chloride/chlorine, and except low risk 
waste exempt from the trial burn requirements under Secs. 266.104(a)(5), 
266.105, 266.106, and 266.107) must not be fed into the device unless 
the device is operating within the conditions of operation specified in 
the permit.
    (3) Requirements to ensure conformance with the particulate 
standard. (i) Except as provided in paragraphs (e)(3) (ii) and (iii) of 
this section, the permit shall specify the following operating 
requirements to ensure conformance with the

[[Page 15]]

matter standard shall not be provided for facilities exempt from the 
particulate matter standard under Sec. 266.105(b);
    (iii) For cement kilns and light-weight aggregate kilns, permit 
conditions to ensure compliance with the particulate standard shall not 
limit the ash content of hazardous waste or other feed materials.
    (4) Requirements to ensure conformance with the metals emissions 
standard. (i) For conformance with the Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) 
metals feed rate screening limits of paragraphs (b) or (e) of 
Sec. 266.106, the permit shall specify the following operating

    (G) Such other operating requirements as are necessary to ensure 
that the HCl and Cl2 standards under Sec. 266.107 (b)(2) or 
(c) are met.
    (6) Measuring parameters and establishing limits based on trial burn 
data--(i) General requirements. As specified in paragraphs (e)(2) 
through (e)(5) of this section, each operating parameter shall be 
measured, and permit limits on the parameter shall be established, 
according to either of the following procedures:
    (A) Instantaneous limits. A parameter may be measured and recorded 
on an instantaneous basis (i.e., the value that occurs at any time) and 
the permit limit specified as the time-weighted average during all valid 
runs of the trial burn; or
    (B) Hourly rolling average. (1) The limit for a parameter may be 
established and continuously monitored on

[[Page 17]]

an hourly rolling average basis defined as follows:
    (i) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.
    (ii) An hourly rolling average is the arithmetic mean of the 60 most 
recent 1-minute average values recorded by the continuous monitoring 
system.
    (2) The permit limit for the parameter shall be established based on 
trial burn data as the average over all valid test runs of the highest 
hourly rolling average value for each run.
    (ii) Rolling average limits for carcinogenic metals and lead. Feed 
rate limits for the carcinogenic metals (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, 
cadmium and chromium) and lead may be established either on an hourly 
rolling average basis as prescribed by paragraph (e)(6)(i) of this 
section or on (up to) a 24 hour rolling average basis. If the owner or 
operator elects to use an average period from 2 to 24 hours:
    (A) The feed rate of each metal shall be limited at any time to ten 
times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling average 
basis;
    (B) The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:
    (1) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.
    (2) The rolling average for the selected averaging period is defined 
as the arithmetic mean of one hour block averages for the averaging 
period. A one hour block average is the arithmetic mean of the one 
minute averages recorded during the 60-minute period beginning at one 
minute after the beginning of preceding clock hour; and
    (C) The permit limit for the feed rate of each metal shall be 
established based on trial burn data as the average over all valid test 
runs of the highest hourly rolling average feed rate for each run.
    (iii) Feed rate limits for metals, total chloride and chlorine, and 
ash. Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash 
are established and monitored by knowing the concentration of the 
substance (i.e., metals, chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream 
and the flow rate of the feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these 
substances, the flow rate of each feedstream must be monitored under the 
continuous monitoring requirements of paragraphs (e)(6) (i) and (ii) of 
this section.
    (iv) Conduct of trial burn testing. (A) If compliance with all 
applicable emissions standards of Secs. 266.104 through 266.107 is not 
demonstrated simultaneously during a set of test runs, the operating 
conditions of additional test runs required to demonstrate compliance 
with remaining emissions standards must be as close as possible to the 
original operating conditions.
    (B) Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating 
compliance with the emissions standards of Secs. 266.104 through 266.107 
or establishing limits on operating parameters under this section, the 
facility must operate under trial burn conditions for a sufficient 
period to reach steady-state operations. The Director may determine, 
however, that industrial furnaces that recycle collected particulate 
matter back into the furnace and that comply with an alternative 
implementation approach for metals under Sec. 266.106(f) need not reach 
steady state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the system 
prior to beginning compliance testing for metals emissions.
    (C) Trial burn data on the level of an operating parameter for which 
a limit must be established in the permit must be obtained during 
emissions sampling for the pollutant(s) (i.e., metals, PM, HCl/
Cl2, organic compounds) for which the parameter must be 
established as specified by paragraph (e) of this section.
    (7) General requirements--(i) Fugitive emissions. Fugitive emissions 
must be controlled by:
    (A) Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive 
emissions; or
    (B) Maintaining the combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric 
pressure; or

[[Page 18]]

    (C) An alternate means of control demonstrated (with part B of the 
permit application) to provide fugitive emissions control equivalent to 
maintenance of combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.
    (ii) Automatic waste feed cutoff. A boiler or industrial furnace 
must be operated with a functioning system that automatically cuts off 
the hazardous waste feed when operating conditions deviate from those 
established under this section. The Director may limit the number of 
cutoffs per an operating period on a case-by-case basis. In addition:
    (A) The permit limit for (the indicator of) minimum combustion 
chamber temperature must be maintained while hazardous waste or 
hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber,
    (B) Exhaust gases must be ducted to the air pollution control system 
operated in accordance with the permit requirements while hazardous 
waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber; and
    (C) Operating parameters for which permit limits are established 
must continue to be monitored during the cutoff, and the hazardous waste 
feed shall not be restarted until the levels of those parameters comply 
with the permit limits. For parameters that may be monitored on an 
instantaneous basis, the Director will establish a minimum period of 
time after a waste feed cutoff during which the parameter must not 
exceed the permit limit before the hazardous waste feed may be 
restarted.
    (iii) Changes. A boiler or industrial furnace must cease burning 
hazardous waste when changes in combustion properties, or feed rates of 
the hazardous waste, other fuels, or industrial furnace feedstocks, or 
changes in the boiler or industrial furnace design or operating 
conditions deviate from the limits as specified in the permit.
    (8) Monitoring and Inspections. (i) The owner or operator must 
monitor and record the following, at a minimum, while burning hazardous 
waste:
    (A) If specified by the permit, feed rates and composition of 
hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial furnace feedstocks, and 
feed rates of ash, metals, and total chloride and chlorine;
    (B) If specified by the permit, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons 
(HC), and oxygen on a continuous basis at a common point in the boiler 
or industrial furnace downstream of the combustion zone and prior to 
release of stack gases to the atmosphere in accordance with operating 
requirements specified in paragraph (e)(2)(ii) of this section. CO, HC, 
and oxygen monitors must be installed, operated, and maintained in 
accordance with methods specified in appendix IX of this part.
    (C) Upon the request of the Director, sampling and analysis of the 
hazardous waste (and other fuels and industrial furnace feedstocks as 
appropriate), residues, and exhaust emissions must be conducted to 
verify that the operating requirements established in the permit achieve 
the applicable standards of Secs. 266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 
266.107.
    (ii) All monitors shall record data in units corresponding to the 
permit limit unless otherwise specified in the permit.
    (iii) The boiler or industrial furnace and associated equipment 
(pumps, values, pipes, fuel storage tanks, etc.) must be subjected to 
thorough visual inspection when it contains hazardous waste, at least 
daily for leaks, spills, fugitive emissions, and signs of tampering.
    (iv) The automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated 
alarms must be tested at least once every 7 days when hazardous waste is 
burned to verify operability, unless the applicant demonstrates to the 
Director that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset 
operations and that less frequent inspections will be adequate. At a 
minimum, operational testing must be conducted at least once every 30 
days.
    (v) These monitoring and inspection data must be recorded and the 
records must be placed in the operating record required by Sec. 264.73 
of this chapter.
    (9) Direct transfer to the burner. If hazardous waste is directly 
transferred from a transport vehicle to a boiler or industrial furnace 
without the use of a storage unit, the owner and operator must comply 
with Sec. 266.111.

[[Page 19]]

    (10) Recordkeeping. The owner or operator must keep in the operating 
record of the facility all information and data required by this section 
until closure of the facility.
    (11) Closure. At closure, the owner or operator must remove all 
hazardous waste and hazardous waste residues (including, but not limited 
to, ash, scrubber waters, and scrubber sludges) from the boiler or 
industrial furnace.

Sec. 266.103  Interim status standards for burners.

    (a) Purpose, scope, applicability--(1) General. (i) The purpose of 
this section is to establish minimum national standards for owners and 
operators of ``existing'' boilers and industrial furnaces that burn 
hazardous waste where such standards define the acceptable management of 
hazardous waste during the period of interim status. The standards of 
this section apply to owners and operators of existing facilities until 
either a permit is issued under Sec. 266.102(d) or until closure 
responsibilities identified in this section are fulfilled.
    (ii) Existing or in existence means a boiler or industrial furnace 
that on or before August 21, 1991 is either in operation burning or 
processing hazardous waste or for which construction (including the 
ancillary facilities to burn or to process the hazardous waste) has 
commenced. A facility has commenced construction if the owner or 
operator has obtained the Federal, State, and local approvals or permits 
necessary to begin physical construction; and either:
    (A) A continuous on-site, physical construction program has begun; 
or
    (B) The owner or operator has entered into contractual obligations--
which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss--for 
physical construction of the facility to be completed within a 
reasonable time.
    (iii) If a boiler or industrial furnace is located at a facility 
that already has a permit or interim status, then the facility must 
comply with the applicable regulations dealing with permit modifications 
in Sec. 270.42 or changes in interim status in Sec. 270.72 of this 
chapter.
    (2) Exemptions. The requirements of this section do not apply to 
hazardous waste and facilities exempt under Secs. 266.100(b), or 
266.108.
    (3) Prohibition on burning dioxin-listed wastes. The following 
hazardous waste listed for dioxin and hazardous waste derived from any 
of these wastes may not be burned in a boiler or industrial furnace 
operating under interim status: F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027.
    (4) Applicability of part 265 standards. Owners and operators of 
boilers and industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste and are 
operating under interim status are subject to the following provisions 
of part 265 of this chapter, except as provided otherwise by this 
section:
    (i) In subpart A (General), Sec. 265.4;
    (ii) In subpart B (General facility standards), Secs. 265.11-265.17;
    (iii) In subpart C (Preparedness and prevention), Secs. 265.31-
265.37;
    (iv) In subpart D (Contingency plan and emergency procedures), 
Secs. 265.51-265.56;
    (v) In subpart E (Manifest system, recordkeeping, and reporting), 
Secs. 265.71-265.77, except that Secs. 265.71, 265.72, and 265.76 do not 
apply to owners and operators of on-site facilities that do not receive 
any hazardous waste from off-site sources;
    (vi) In subpart G (Closure and post-closure), Secs. 265.111-265.115;
    (vii) In subpart H (Financial requirements), Secs. 265.141, 265.142, 
265.143, and 265.147-265.151, except that States and the Federal 
government are exempt from the requirements of subpart H; and
    (viii) Subpart BB (Air emission standards for equipment leaks), 
except Sec. 265.1050(a).
    (5) Special requirements for furnaces. The following controls apply 
during interim status to industrial furnaces (e.g., kilns, cupolas) that 
feed hazardous waste for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient 
(see paragraph (a)(5)(ii) of this section) at any location other than 
the hot end where products are normally discharged or where fuels are 
normally fired:

[[Page 20]]

    (i) Controls. (A) The hazardous waste shall be fed at a location 
where combustion gas temperatures are at least 1800  deg.F;
    (B) The owner or operator must determine that adequate oxygen is 
present in combustion gases to combust organic constituents in the waste 
and retain documentation of such determination in the facility record;
    (C) For cement kiln systems, the hazardous waste shall be fed into 
the kiln; and
    (D) The hydrocarbon controls of Sec. 266.104(c) or paragraph (c)(5) 
of this section apply upon certification of compliance under paragraph 
(c) of this section irrespective of the CO level achieved during the 
compliance test.
    (ii) Burning hazardous waste solely as an ingredient. A hazardous 
waste is burned for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient if it 
meets either of these criteria:
    (A) The hazardous waste has a total concentration of nonmetal 
compounds listed in part 261, appendix VIII, of this chapter exceeding 
500 ppm by weight, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned for 
destruction. The concentration of nonmetal compounds in a waste as-
generated may be reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide treatment 
that removes or destroys nonmetal constituents. Blending for dilution to 
meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited and documentation that the waste 
has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in the facility 
record; or
    (B) The hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or more, 
as-fired, and so is considered to be burned as fuel. The heating value 
of a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the 5,000 Btu/lb limit 
by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. 
Blending to augment the heating value to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is 
prohibited and documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly 
blended must be retained in the facility record.
    (6) Restrictions on burning hazardous waste that is not a fuel. 
Prior to certification of compliance under paragraph (c) of this 
section, owners and operators shall not feed hazardous waste that has a 
heating value less than 5,000 Btu/lb, as-generated, (except that the 
heating value of a waste as-generated may be increased to above the 
5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment; however, blending to augment 
the heating value to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited and 
records must be kept to document that impermissible blending has not 
occurred) in a boiler or industrial furnace, except that:
    (i) Hazardous waste may be burned solely as an ingredient; or
    (ii) Hazardous waste may be burned for purposes of compliance 
testing (or testing prior to compliance testing) for a total period of 
time not to exceed 720 hours; or
    (iii) Such waste may be burned if the Director has documentation to 
show that, prior to August 21, 1991:
    (A) The boiler or industrial furnace is operating under the interim 
status standards for incinerators provided by subpart O of part 265 of 
this chapter, or the interim status standards for thermal treatment 
units provided by subpart P of part 265 of this chapter; and
    (B) The boiler or industrial furnace met the interim status 
eligibility requirements under Sec. 270.70 of this chapter for subpart O 
or subpart P of part 265 of this chapter; and
    (C) Hazardous waste with a heating value less than 5,000 Btu/lb was 
burned prior to that date; or
    (iv) Such waste may be burned in a halogen acid furnace if the waste 
was burned as an excluded ingredient under Sec. 261.2(e) of this chapter 
prior to February 21, 1991 and documentation is kept on file supporting 
this claim.
    (7) Direct transfer to the burner. If hazardous waste is directly 
transferred from a transport vehicle to a boiler or industrial furnace 
without the use of a storage unit, the owner and operator must comply 
with Sec. 266.111.
    (b) Certification of precompliance--(1) General. The owner or 
operator must provide complete and accurate information specified in 
paragraph (b)(2) of this section to the Director on or before August 21, 
1991, and must establish limits for the operating parameters specified 
in paragraph (b)(3) of this section. Such information is termed a 
``certification of precompliance'' and constitutes a certification that 
the owner or operator has determined that, when the facility is operated 
within

[[Page 21]]

the limits specified in paragraph (b)(3) of this section, the owner or 
operator believes that, using best engineering judgment, emissions of 
particulate matter, metals, and HCl and Cl2 are not likely to 
exceed the limits provided by Secs. 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107. The 
facility may burn hazardous waste only under the operating conditions 
that the owner or operator establishes under paragraph (b)(3) of this 
section until the owner or operator submits a revised certification of 
precompliance under paragraph (b)(8) of this section or a certification 
of compliance under paragraph (c) of this section, or until a permit is 
issued.
    (2) Information required. The following information must be 
submitted with the certification of precompliance to support the 
determination that the limits established for the operating parameters 
identified in paragraph (b)(3) of this section are not likely to result 
in an exceedance of the allowable emission rates for particulate matter, 
metals, and HCl and Cl2:

and continuously monitored and recorded on an instantaneous basis (i.e., 
the value that occurs at any time) not to be exceeded at any time; or
    (B) Hourly rolling average limits. A limit for a parameter may be 
established and continuously monitored on an hourly rolling average 
basis defined as follows:
    (1) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.

rate limits for the carcinogenic metals (arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, 
and chromium) and lead may be established either on an hourly rolling 
average basis as prescribed by paragraph (b)(5)(i)(B) or on (up to) a 24 
hour rolling average basis. If the owner or operator elects to use an 
averaging period from 2 to 24 hours:

times the feed rate that would be allowed on a hourly rolling average 
basis;
    (B) The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:
    (1) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.
    (2) The rolling average for the selected averaging period is defined 
as the arithmetic mean of one hour block averages for the averaging 
period. A one hour block average is the arithmetic mean of the one 
minute averages recorded during the 60-minute period beginning at one 
minute after the beginning of preceding clock hour.
    (iii) Feed rate limits for metals, total chloride and chlorine, and 
ash. Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash 
are established and

[[Page 24]]

monitored by knowing the concentration of the substance (i.e., metals, 
chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream and the flow rate of the 
feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these substances, the flow rate 
of each feedstream must be monitored under the continuous monitoring 
requirements of paragraphs (b)(5) (i) and (ii) of this section.
    (6) Public notice requirements at precompliance. On or before August 
21, 1991 the owner or operator must submit a notice with the following

of particulate matter); and
    (B) Planned operating conditions, including levels for each 
pertinent parameter specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
    (3) Compliance testing--(i) General. Compliance testing must be 
conducted under conditions for which the owner or operator has submitted 
a certification of precompliance under paragraph (b) of this section and 
under conditions established in the notification of compliance testing 
required by paragraph (c)(2) of this section. The owner or operator may 
seek approval on a case-by-case basis to use compliance test data from 
one unit in lieu of testing a similar onsite unit. To support the 
request, the owner or operator must provide a comparison of the 
hazardous waste burned and other feedstreams, and the design, operation, 
and maintenance of both the tested unit and the similar unit. The 
Director shall provide a written approval to use compliance test data in 
lieu of testing a similar unit if he finds that the hazardous wastes, 
the devices, and the operating conditions are sufficiently similar, and 
the data from the other compliance test is adequate to meet the 
requirements of Sec. 266.103(c).
    (ii) Special requirements for industrial furnaces that recycle 
collected PM. Owners and operators of industrial furnaces that recycle 
back into the furnace particulate matter (PM) from the air pollution 
control system must comply with one of the following procedures for 
testing to determine compliance with the metals standards of 
Sec. 266.106(c) or (d):
    (A) The special testing requirements prescribed in ``Alternative 
Method for Implementing Metals Controls'' in appendix IX of this part; 
or
    (B) Stack emissions testing for a minimum of 6 hours each day while 
hazardous waste is burned during interim status. The testing must be 
conducted when burning normal hazardous waste for that day at normal 
feed rates for that day and when the air pollution control system is 
operated under normal conditions. During interim status, hazardous waste 
analysis for metals content must be sufficient for the owner or operator 
to determine if changes in metals content may affect the ability of the 
facility to meet the metals emissions standards established under 
Sec. 266.106(c) or (d). Under this option, operating limits (under 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section) must be established during compliance 
testing under paragraph (c)(3) of this section only on the following 
parameters;
    (1) Feed rate of total hazardous waste;
    (2) Total feed rate of chlorine and chloride in total feed streams;
    (3) Total feed rate of ash in total feed streams, except that the 
ash feed rate for cement kilns and light-weight aggregate kilns is not 
limited;
    (4) Carbon monoxide concentration, and where required, hydrocarbon 
concentration in stack gas;
    (5) Maximum production rate of the device in appropriate units when 
producing normal product; or
    (C) Conduct compliance testing to determine compliance with the 
metals standards to establish limits on the operating parameters of 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section only after the kiln system has been 
conditioned to enable it to reach equilibrium with respect to metals fed 
into the system and metals

[[Page 28]]

emissions. During conditioning, hazardous waste and raw materials having 
the same metals content as will be fed during the compliance test must 
be fed at the feed rates that will be fed during the compliance test.
    (iii) Conduct of compliance testing. (A) If compliance with all 
applicable emissions standards of Secs. 266.104 through 266.107 is not 
demonstrated simultaneously during a set of test runs, the operating 
conditions of additional test runs required to demonstrate compliance 
with remaining emissions standards must be as close as possible to the 
original operating conditions.
    (B) Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating 
compliance with the applicable emissions standards of Secs. 266.104 
through 266.107 or establishing limits on operating parameters under 
this section, the facility must operate under compliance test conditions 
for a sufficient period to reach steady-state operations. Industrial 
furnaces that recycle collected particulate matter back into the furnace 
and that comply with paragraphs (c)(3)(ii)(A) or (B) of this section, 
however, need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow 
of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for 
metals.
    (C) Compliance test data on the level of an operating parameter for 
which a limit must be established in the certification of compliance 
must be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant(s) (i.e., 
metals, PM, HCl/Cl2, organic compounds) for which the 
parameter must be established as specified by paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section.
    (4) Certification of compliance. Within 90 days of completing 
compliance testing, the owner or operator must certify to the Director 
compliance with the emissions standards of Secs. 266.104 (b), (c), and 
(e), 266.105, 266.106, 266.107, and paragraph (a)(5)(i)(D) of this 
section. The certification of compliance must include the following 
information:
    (i) General facility and testing information including:
    (A) EPA facility ID number;
    (B) Facility name, contact person, telephone number, and address;
    (C) Person responsible for conducting compliance testing, including 
company name, address, and telephone number, and a statement of 
qualifications;
    (D) Date(s) of each compliance test;
    (E) Description of boiler or industrial furnace tested;
    (F) Person responsible for quality assurance/quality control (QA/
QC), title, and telephone number, and statement that procedures 
prescribed in the QA/QC plan submitted under Sec. 266.103(c)(2)(iii) 
have been followed, or a description of any changes and an explanation 
of why changes were necessary.
    (G) Description of any changes in the unit configuration prior to or 
during testing that would alter any of the information submitted in the 
prior notice of compliance testing under paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section, and an explanation of why the changes were necessary;
    (H) Description of any changes in the planned test conditions prior 
to or during the testing that alter any of the information submitted in 
the prior notice of compliance testing under paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section, and an explanation of why the changes were necessary; and
    (I) The complete report on results of emissions testing.
    (ii) Specific information on each test including:
    (A) Purpose(s) of test (e.g., demonstrate conformance with the 
emissions limits for particulate matter, metals, HCl, Cl2, 
and CO)
    (B) Summary of test results for each run and for each test including 
the following information:
    (1) Date of run;
    (2) Duration of run;
    (3) Time-weighted average and highest hourly rolling average CO 
level for each run and for the test;
    (4) Highest hourly rolling average HC level, if HC monitoring is 
required for each run and for the test;
    (5) If dioxin and furan testing is required under Sec. 266.104(e), 
time-weighted average emissions for each run and for the test of 
chlorinated dioxin and furan emissions, and the predicted maximum annual 
average ground level concentration of the toxicity equivalency factor;
    (6) Time-weighted average particulate matter emissions for each run 
and for the test;

[[Page 29]]

    (7) Time-weighted average HCl and Cl2 emissions for each 
run and for the test;
    (8) Time-weighted average emissions for the metals subject to 
regulation under Sec. 266.106 for each run and for the test; and
    (9) QA/QC results.
    (iii) Comparison of the actual emissions during each test with the 
emissions limits prescribed by Secs. 266.104 (b), (c), and (e), 266.105, 
266.106, and 266.107 and established for the facility in the 
certification of precompliance under paragraph (b) of this section.
    (iv) Determination of operating limits based on all valid runs of 
the compliance test for each applicable parameter listed in paragraph 
(c)(1) of this section using either of the following procedures:
    (A) Instantaneous limits. A parameter may be measured and recorded 
on an instantaneous basis (i.e., the value that occurs at any time) and 
the operating limit specified as the time-weighted average during all 
runs of the compliance test; or
    (B) Hourly rolling average basis. (1) The limit for a parameter may 
be established and continuously monitored on an hourly rolling average 
basis defined as follows:
    (i) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.
    (ii) An hourly rolling average is the arithmetic mean of the 60 most 
recent 1-minute average values recorded by the continuous monitoring 
system.
    (2) The operating limit for the parameter shall be established based 
on compliance test data as the average over all test runs of the highest 
hourly rolling average value for each run.
    (C) Rolling average limits for carcinogenic metals and lead. Feed 
rate limits for the carcinogenic metals (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, 
cadmium and chromium) and lead may be established either on an hourly 
rolling average basis as prescribed by paragraph (c)(4)(iv)(B) of this 
section or on (up to) a 24 hour rolling average basis. If the owner or 
operator elects to use an averaging period from 2 to 24 hours:
    (1) The feed rate of each metal shall be limited at any time to ten 
times the feed rate that would be allowed on a hourly rolling average 
basis;
    (2) The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:
    (i) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.
    (ii) The rolling average for the selected averaging period is 
defined as arithmetic mean of one hour block averages for the averaging 
period. A one hour block average is the arithmetic mean of the one 
minute averages recorded during the 60-minute period beginning at one 
minute after the beginning of preceding clock hour; and
    (3) The operating limit for the feed rate of each metal shall be 
established based on compliance test data as the average over all test 
runs of the highest hourly rolling average feed rate for each run.
    (D) Feed rate limits for metals, total chloride and chlorine, and 
ash. Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash 
are established and monitored by knowing the concentration of the 
substance (i.e., metals, chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream 
and the flow rate of the feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these 
substances, the flow rate of each feedstream must be monitored under the 
continuous monitoring requirements of paragraphs (c)(4)(iv) (A) through 
(C) of this section.
    (v) Certification of compliance statement. The following statement 
shall accompany the certification of compliance:

    ``I certify under penalty of law that this information was prepared 
under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed 
to ensure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the 
information and supporting documentation. Copies of all emissions tests, 
dispersion modeling results and other information used to determine 
conformance with the requirements of Sec. 266.103(c) are available at 
the facility and can be obtained from the facility

[[Page 30]]

contact person listed above. Based on my inquiry of the person or 
persons who manages the facility, or those persons directly responsible 
for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best 
of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware 
that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, 
including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing 
violations.
    I also acknowledge that the operating conditions established in this 
certification pursuant to Sec. 266.103(c)(4)(iv) are enforceable limits 
at which the facility can legally operate during interim status until a 
revised certification of compliance is submitted.''

    (5) Special requirements for HC monitoring systems. When an owner or 
operator is required to comply with the hydrocarbon (HC) controls 
provided by Sec. 266.104(c) or paragraph (a)(5)(i)(D) of this section, a 
conditioned gas monitoring system may be used in conformance with 
specifications provided in appendix IX of this part provided that the 
owner or operator submits a certification of compliance without using 
extensions of time provided by paragraph (c)(7) of this section.
    (6) Special operating requirements for industrial furnaces that 
recycle collected PM. Owners and operators of industrial furnaces that 
recycle back into the furnace particulate matter (PM) from the air 
pollution control system must:
    (i) When complying with the requirements of paragraph (c)(3)(ii)(A) 
of this section, comply with the operating requirements prescribed in 
``Alternative Method to Implement the Metals Controls'' in appendix IX 
of this part; and
    (ii) When complying with the requirements of paragraph (c)(3)(ii)(B) 
of this section, comply with the operating requirements prescribed by 
that paragraph.
    (7) Extensions of time. (i) If the owner or operator does not submit 
a complete certification of compliance for all of the applicable 
emissions standards of Secs. 266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107 by 
August 21, 1992, he/she must either:
    (A) Stop burning hazardous waste and begin closure activities under 
paragraph (l) of this section for the hazardous waste portion of the 
facility; or
    (B) Limit hazardous waste burning only for purposes of compliance 
testing (and pretesting to prepare for compliance testing) a total 
period of 720 hours for the period of time beginning August 21, 1992, 
submit a notification to the Director by August 21, 1992 stating that 
the facility is operating under restricted interim status and intends to 
resume burning hazardous waste, and submit a complete certification of 
compliance by August 23, 1993; or
    (C) Obtain a case-by-case extension of time under paragraph 
(c)(7)(ii) of this section.
    (ii) The owner or operator may request a case-by-case extension of 
time to extend any time limit provided by paragraph (c) of this section 
if compliance with the time limit is not practicable for reasons beyond 
the control of the owner or operator.
    (A) In granting an extension, the Director may apply conditions as 
the facts warrant to ensure timely compliance with the requirements of 
this section and that the facility operates in a manner that does not 
pose a hazard to human health and the environment;
    (B) When an owner or operator requests an extension of time to 
enable the facility to comply with the alternative hydrocarbon 
provisions of Sec. 266.104(f) and obtain a RCRA operating permit because 
the facility cannot meet the HC limit of Sec. 266.104(c) of this 
chapter:
    (1) The Director shall, in considering whether to grant the 
extension:
    (i) Determine whether the owner and operator have submitted in a 
timely manner a complete part B permit application that includes 
information required under Sec. 270.22(b) of this chapter; and
    (ii) Consider whether the owner and operator have made a good faith 
effort to certify compliance with all other emission controls, including 
the controls on dioxins and furans of Sec. 266.104(e) and the controls 
on PM, metals, and HCl/Cl2.
    (2) If an extension is granted, the Director shall, as a condition 
of the extension, require the facility to operate under flue gas 
concentration limits on CO and HC that, based on available information, 
including information in the part B permit application, are baseline CO 
and HC levels as defined by Sec. 266.104(f)(1).
    (8) Revised certification of compliance. The owner or operator may 
submit at any time a revised certification of

[[Page 31]]

compliance (recertification of compliance) under the following 
procedures:
    (i) Prior to submittal of a revised certification of compliance, 
hazardous waste may not be burned for more than a total of 720 hours 
under operating conditions that exceed those established under a current 
certification of compliance, and such burning may be conducted only for 
purposes of determining whether the facility can operate under revised 
conditions and continue to meet the applicable emissions standards of 
Secs. 266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107;
    (ii) At least 30 days prior to first burning hazardous waste under 
operating conditions that exceed those established under a current 
certification of compliance, the owner or operator shall notify the 
Director and submit the following information:
    (A) EPA facility ID number, and facility name, contact person, 
telephone number, and address;
    (B) Operating conditions that the owner or operator is seeking to 
revise and description of the changes in facility design or operation 
that prompted the need to seek to revise the operating conditions;
    (C) A determination that when operating under the revised operating 
conditions, the applicable emissions standards of Secs. 266.104, 
266.105, 266.106, and 266.107 are not likely to be exceeded. To document 
this determination, the owner or operator shall submit the applicable 
information required under paragraph (b)(2) of this section; and
    (D) Complete emissions testing protocol for any pretesting and for a 
new compliance test to determine compliance with the applicable 
emissions standards of Secs. 266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107 when 
operating under revised operating conditions. The protocol shall include 
a schedule of pre-testing and compliance testing. If the owner and 
operator revises the scheduled date for the compliance test, he/she 
shall notify the Director in writing at least 30 days prior to the 
revised date of the compliance test;
    (iii) Conduct a compliance test under the revised operating 
conditions and the protocol submitted to the Director to determine 
compliance with the applicable emissions standards of Secs. 266.104, 
266.105, 266.106, and 266.107; and
    (iv) Submit a revised certification of compliance under paragraph 
(c)(4) of this section.
    (d) Periodic Recertifications. The owner or operator must conduct 
compliance testing and submit to the Director a recertification of 
compliance under provisions of paragraph (c) of this section within 
three years from submitting the previous certification or 
recertification. If the owner or operator seeks to recertify compliance 
under new operating conditions, he/she must comply with the requirements 
of paragraph (c)(8) of this section.
    (e) Noncompliance with certification schedule. If the owner or 
operator does not comply with the interim status compliance schedule 
provided by paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this section, hazardous 
waste burning must terminate on the date that the deadline is missed, 
closure activities must begin under paragraph (l) of this section, and 
hazardous waste burning may not resume except under an operating permit 
issued under Sec. 270.66 of this chapter. For purposes of compliance 
with the closure provisions of paragraph (l) of this section and 
Secs. 265.112(d)(2) and 265.113 of this chapter the boiler or industrial 
furnace has received ``the known final volume of hazardous waste'' on 
the date that the deadline is missed.
    (f) Start-up and shut-down. Hazardous waste (except waste fed solely 
as an ingredient under the Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) feed rate 
screening limits for metals and chloride/chlorine) must not be fed into 
the device during start-up and shut-down of the boiler or industrial 
furnace, unless the device is operating within the conditions of 
operation specified in the certification of compliance.
    (g) Automatic waste feed cutoff. During the compliance test required 
by paragraph (c)(3) of this section, and upon certification of 
compliance under paragraph (c) of this section, a boiler or industrial 
furnace must be operated with a functioning system that automatically 
cuts off the hazardous waste feed when the applicable operating 
conditions specified in paragraphs (c)(1) (i)

[[Page 32]]

and (v through xiii) of this section deviate from those established in 
the certification of compliance. In addition:
    (1) To minimize emissions of organic compounds, the minimum 
combustion chamber temperature (or the indicator of combustion chamber 
temperature) that occurred during the compliance test must be maintained 
while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the 
combustion chamber, with the minimum temperature during the compliance 
test defined as either:
    (i) If compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is 
based on a hourly rolling average, the minimum temperature during the 
compliance test is considered to be the average over all runs of the 
lowest hourly rolling average for each run; or
    (ii) If compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is 
based on an instantaneous temperature measurement, the minimum 
temperature during the compliance test is considered to be the time-
weighted average temperature during all runs of the test; and
    (2) Operating parameters limited by the certification of compliance 
must continue to be monitored during the cutoff, and the hazardous waste 
feed shall not be restarted until the levels of those parameters comply 
with the limits established in the certification of compliance.
    (h) Fugitive emissions. Fugitive emissions must be controlled by:
    (1) Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive 
emissions; or
    (2) Maintaining the combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric 
pressure; or
    (3) An alternate means of control that the owner or operator can 
demonstrate provide fugitive emissions control equivalent to maintenance 
of combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. Support for 
such demonstration shall be included in the operating record.
    (i) Changes. A boiler or industrial furnace must cease burning 
hazardous waste when changes in combustion properties, or feed rates of 
the hazardous waste, other fuels, or industrial furnace feedstocks, or 
changes in the boiler or industrial furnace design or operating 
conditions deviate from the limits specified in the certification of 
compliance.
    (j) Monitoring and Inspections. (1) The owner or operator must 
monitor and record the following, at a minimum, while burning hazardous 
waste:
    (i) Feed rates and composition of hazardous waste, other fuels, and 
industrial furnace feed stocks, and feed rates of ash, metals, and total 
chloride and chlorine as necessary to ensure conformance with the 
certification of precompliance or certification of compliance;
    (ii) Carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen, and if applicable, hydrocarbons 
(HC), on a continuous basis at a common point in the boiler or 
industrial furnace downstream of the combustion zone and prior to 
release of stack gases to the atmosphere in accordance with the 
operating limits specified in the certification of compliance. CO, HC, 
and oxygen monitors must be installed, operated, and maintained in 
accordance with methods specified in appendix IX of this part.
    (iii) Upon the request of the Director, sampling and analysis of the 
hazardous waste (and other fuels and industrial furnace feed stocks as 
appropriate) and the stack gas emissions must be conducted to verify 
that the operating conditions established in the certification of 
precompliance or certification of compliance achieve the applicable 
standards of Secs. 266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107.
    (2) The boiler or industrial furnace and associated equipment 
(pumps, valves, pipes, fuel storage tanks, etc.) must be subjected to 
thorough visual inspection when they contain hazardous waste, at least 
daily for leaks, spills, fugitive emissions, and signs of tampering.
    (3) The automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated 
alarms must be tested at least once every 7 days when hazardous waste is 
burned to verify operability, unless the owner or operator can 
demonstrate that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset 
operations and that less frequent inspections will be adequate. Support 
for such demonstration shall be included in the operating record. At

[[Page 33]]

a minimum, operational testing must be conducted at least once every 30 
days.
    (4) These monitoring and inspection data must be recorded and the 
records must be placed in the operating log.
    (k) Recordkeeping. The owner or operator must keep in the operating 
record of the facility all information and data required by this section 
until closure of the boiler or industrial furnace unit.
    (l) Closure. At closure, the owner or operator must remove all 
hazardous waste and hazardous waste residues (including, but not limited 
to, ash, scrubber waters, and scrubber sludges) from the boiler or 
industrial furnace and must comply with Secs. 265.111-265.115 of this 
chapter.

Sec. 266.104  Standards to control organic emissions.

    (a) DRE standard--(1) General. Except as provided in paragraph 
(a)(3) of this section, a boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous 
waste must achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% 
for all organic hazardous constituents in the waste feed. To demonstrate 
conformance with this requirement, 99.99% DRE must be demonstrated 
during a trial burn for each principal organic hazardous constituent 
(POHC) designated (under paragraph (a)(2) of this section) in its permit 
for each waste feed. DRE is determined for each POHC from the following 
equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.000

where:

    Win= Mass feed rate of one principal organic hazardous 
constituent (POHC) in the hazardous waste fired to the boiler or 
industrial furnace; and
    Wout= Mass emission rate of the same POHC present in 
stack gas prior to release to the atmosphere.

    (2) Designation of POHCs. Principal organic hazardous constituents 
(POHCs) are those compounds for which compliance with the DRE 
requirements of this section shall be demonstrated in a trial burn in 
conformance with procedures prescribed in Sec. 270.66 of this chapter. 
One or more POHCs shall be designated by the Director for each waste 
feed to be burned. POHCs shall be designated based on the degree of 
difficulty of destruction of the organic constituents in the waste and 
on their concentrations or mass in the waste feed considering the 
results of waste analyses submitted with part B of the permit 
application. POHCs are most likely to be selected from among those 
compounds listed in part 261, appendix VIII of this chapter that are 
also present in the normal waste feed. However, if the applicant 
demonstrates to the Regional Administrator's satisfaction that a 
compound not listed in appendix VIII or not present in the normal waste 
feed is a suitable indicator of compliance with the DRE requirements of 
this section, that compound may be designated as a POHC. Such POHCs need 
not be toxic or organic compounds.
    (3) Dioxin-listed waste. A boiler or industrial furnace burning 
hazardous waste containing (or derived from) EPA Hazardous Wastes Nos. 
F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027 must achieve a destruction and 
removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999% for each POHC designated (under 
paragraph (a)(2) of this section) in its permit. This performance must 
be demonstrated on POHCs that are more difficult to burn than tetra-, 
penta-, and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. DRE is 
determined for each POHC from the equation in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section. In addition, the owner or operator of the boiler or industrial 
furnace must notify the Director of intent to burn EPA Hazardous Waste 
Nos. F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027.
    (4) Automatic waiver of DRE trial burn. Owners and operators of 
boilers operated under the special operating requirements provided by 
Sec. 266.110 are considered to be in compliance with the DRE standard of 
paragraph (a)(1) of this section and are exempt from the DRE trial burn.
    (5) Low risk waste. Owners and operators of boilers or industrial 
furnaces

[[Page 34]]

that burn hazardous waste in compliance with the requirements of 
Sec. 266.109(a) are considered to be in compliance with the DRE standard 
of paragraph (a)(1) of this section and are exempt from the DRE trial 
burn.
    (b) Carbon monoxide standard. (1) Except as provided in paragraph 
(c) of this section, the stack gas concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) 
from a boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste cannot 
exceed 100 ppmv on an hourly rolling average basis (i.e., over any 60 
minute period), continuously corrected to 7 percent oxygen, dry gas 
basis.
    (2) CO and oxygen shall be continuously monitored in conformance 
with ``Performance Specifications for Continuous Emission Monitoring of 
Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen for Incinerators, Boilers, and Industrial 
Furnaces Burning Hazardous Waste'' in appendix IX of this part.
    (3) Compliance with the 100 ppmv CO limit must be demonstrated 
during the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility 
applying for a permit) or the compliance test (for interim status 
facilities). To demonstrate compliance, the highest hourly rolling 
average CO level during any valid run of the trial burn or compliance 
test must not exceed 100 ppmv.
    (c) Alternative carbon monoxide standard. (1) The stack gas 
concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) from a boiler or industrial 
furnace burning hazardous waste may exceed the 100 ppmv limit provided 
that stack gas concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) do not exceed 20 
ppmv, except as provided by paragraph (f) of this section for certain 
industrial furnaces.
    (2) HC limits must be established under this section on an hourly 
rolling average basis (i.e., over any 60 minute period), reported as 
propane, and continuously corrected to 7 percent oxygen, dry gas basis.
    (3) HC shall be continuously monitored in conformance with 
``Performance Specifications for Continuous Emission Monitoring of 
Hydrocarbons for Incinerators, Boilers, and Industrial Furnaces Burning 
Hazardous Waste'' in appendix IX of this part. CO and oxygen shall be 
continuously monitored in conformance with paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section.
    (4) The alternative CO standard is established based on CO data 
during the trial burn (for a new facility) and the compliance test (for 
an interim status facility). The alternative CO standard is the average 
over all valid runs of the highest hourly average CO level for each run. 
The CO limit is implemented on an hourly rolling average basis, and 
continuously corrected to 7 percent oxygen, dry gas basis.
    (d) Special requirements for furnaces. Owners and operators of 
industrial furnaces (e.g., kilns, cupolas) that feed hazardous waste for 
a purpose other than solely as an ingredient (see 
Sec. 266.103(a)(5)(ii)) at any location other than the end where 
products are normally discharged and where fuels are normally fired must 
comply with the hydrocarbon limits provided by paragraphs (c) or (f) of 
this section irrespective of whether stack gas CO concentrations meet 
the 100 ppmv limit of paragraph (b) of this section.
    (e) Controls for dioxins and furans. Owners and operators of boilers 
and industrial furnaces that are equipped with a dry particulate matter 
control device that operates within the temperature range of 450-750 
deg.F, and industrial furnaces operating under an alternative 
hydrocarbon limit established under paragraph (f) of this section must 
conduct a site-specific risk assessment as follows to demonstrate that 
emissions of chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans do not 
result in an increased lifetime cancer risk to the hypothetical maximum 
exposed individual (MEI) exceeding 1 in 100,000:
    (1) During the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim status 
facility applying for a permit) or compliance test (for interim status 
facilities), determine emission rates of the tetra-octa congeners of 
chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (CDDs/CDFs) using Method 
0023A, Sampling Method for Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and 
Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans Emissions from Stationary Sources, EPA 
Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in Sec. 260.11 of this 
chapter.

    (2) Estimate the 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxicity equivalence of the tetra-octa 
CDDs/CDFs congeners using ``Procedures for Estimating the Toxicity 
Equivalence of Chlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxin and Dibenzofuran Congeners'' 
in appendix IX of this part. Multiply the emission rates of CDD/CDF 
congeners with a toxicity equivalence greater than zero (see the 
procedure) by the calculated toxicity equivalence factor to estimate the 
equivalent emission rate of 2,3,7,8-TCDD;
    (3) Conduct dispersion modeling using methods recommended in 
appendix W of part 51 of this chapter (``Guideline on Air Quality Models 
(Revised)'' (1986) and its supplements), the ``Hazardous Waste 
Combustion Air Quality Screening Procedure'', provided in appendix IX of 
this part, or in Screening Procedures for Estimating the Air Quality 
Impact of Stationary Sources, Revised (incorporated by reference in 
Sec. 260.11) to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level 
concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalents determined under paragraph 
(e)(2) of this section. The maximum annual average concentration must be 
used when a person resides on-site; and
    (4) The ratio of the predicted maximum annual average ground level 
concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalents to the risk-specific dose for 
2,3,7,8-TCDD provided in appendix V of this part (2.2 X 
10--7) shall not exceed 1.0.
    (f) Monitoring CO and HC in the by-pass duct of a cement kiln. 
Cement kilns may comply with the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon limits 
provided by paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this section by monitoring 
in the by-pass duct provided that:
    (1) Hazardous waste is fired only into the kiln and not at any 
location downstream from the kiln exit relative to the direction of gas 
flow; and
    (2) The by-pass duct diverts a minimum of 10% of kiln off-gas into 
the duct.
    (g) Use of emissions test data to demonstrate compliance and 
establish operating limits. Compliance with the requirements of this 
section must be demonstrated simultaneously by emissions testing or 
during separate runs under identical operating conditions. Further, data 
to demonstrate compliance with the CO and HC limits of this section or 
to establish alternative CO or HC limits under this section must be 
obtained during the time that DRE testing, and where applicable, CDD/CDF 
testing under paragraph (e) of this section and comprehensive organic 
emissions testing under paragraph (f) is conducted.
    (h) Enforcement. For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance 
with the operating requirements specified in the permit (under 
Sec. 266.102) will be regarded as compliance with this section. However, 
evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to 
ensure compliance with the requirements of this section may be 
``information'' justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of 
a permit under Sec. 270.41 of this chapter.

justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a permit under 
Sec. 270.41 of this chapter.

Sec. 266.106  Standards to control metals emissions.

    (a) General. The owner or operator must comply with the metals 
standards provided by paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) of this 
section for each metal listed in paragraph (b) of this section that is 
present in the hazardous waste at detectable levels using analytical 
procedures specified in Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, 
Physical/Chemical Methods (SW-846), incorporated by reference in 
Sec. 260.11 of this chapter.
    (b) Tier I feed rate screening limits. Feed rate screening limits 
for metals are specified in appendix I of this part as a function of 
terrain-adjusted effective stack height and terrain and land use in the 
vicinity of the facility. Criteria for facilities that are not eligible 
to comply with the screening limits are provided in paragraph (b)(7) of 
this section.
    (1) Noncarcinogenic metals. The feed rates of antimony, barium, 
lead, mercury, thallium, and silver in all feed streams, including 
hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks shall not 
exceed the screening limits specified in appendix I of this part.
    (i) The feed rate screening limits for antimony, barium, mercury, 
thallium, and silver are based on either:
    (A) An hourly rolling average as defined in 
Sec. 266.102(e)(6)(i)(B); or
    (B) An instantaneous limit not to be exceeded at any time.
    (ii) The feed rate screening limit for lead is based on one of the 
following:
    (A) An hourly rolling average as defined in 
Sec. 266.102(e)(6)(i)(B);
    (B) An averaging period of 2 to 24 hours as defined in 
Sec. 266.102(e)(6)(ii) with an instantaneous feed rate limit not to 
exceed 10 times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling 
average basis; or
    (C) An instantaneous limit not to be exceeded at any time.
    (2) Carcinogenic metals. (i) The feed rates of arsenic, cadmium, 
beryllium, and chromium in all feed streams, including hazardous waste, 
fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks shall not exceed values 
derived from the screening limits specified in appendix I of this part. 
The feed rate of each of these metals is limited to a level such that 
the sum of the ratios of the actual feed rate to the feed rate screening 
limit specified in appendix I shall not exceed 1.0, as provided by the 
following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.001


where:
    n=number of carcinogenic metals
    AFR=actual feed rate to the device for metal ``i''
    FRSL=feed rate screening limit provided by appendix I of this part 
for metal ``i''.

    (ii) The feed rate screening limits for the carcinogenic metals are 
based on either:
    (A) An hourly rolling average; or
    (B) An averaging period of 2 to 24 hours as defined in 
Sec. 266.102(e)(6)(ii) with an instantaneous feed rate limit not to 
exceed 10 times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling 
average basis.
    (3) TESH. (i) The terrain-adjusted effective stack height is 
determined according to the following equation:

TESH=Ha+H1-Tr

where:
    Ha=Actual physical stack height
    H1=Plume rise as determined from appendix VI of this part as a 
function of stack flow rate and stack gas exhaust temperature.
    Tr=Terrain rise within five kilometers of the stack.

    (ii) The stack height (Ha) may not exceed good engineering practice 
as specified in 40 CFR 51.100(ii).
    (iii) If the TESH for a particular facility is not listed in the 
table in the appendices, the nearest lower TESH listed in the table 
shall be used. If the TESH is four meters or less, a value of four 
meters shall be used.
    (4) Terrain type. The screening limits are a function of whether the 
facility is located in noncomplex or complex terrain. A device located 
where any part of the surrounding terrain within 5 kilometers of the 
stack equals or exceeds the elevation of the physical stack height (Ha) 
is considered to be in complex terrain and the screening limits for 
complex terrain apply. Terrain measurements are to be made from

[[Page 37]]

U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic maps of the area 
surrounding the facility.
    (5) Land use. The screening limits are a function of whether the 
facility is located in an area where the land use is urban or rural. To 
determine whether land use in the vicinity of the facility is urban or 
rural, procedures provided in appendices IX or X of this part shall be 
used.
    (6) Multiple stacks. Owners and operators of facilities with more 
than one on-site stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator, 
or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls of metals emissions 
under a RCRA operating permit or interim status controls must comply 
with the screening limits for all such units assuming all hazardous 
waste is fed into the device with the worst-case stack based on 
dispersion characteristics. The worst-case stack is determined from the 
following equation as applied to each stack:

    K=HVT
Where:
    K=a parameter accounting for relative influence of stack height and 
plume rise;
    H=physical stack height (meters);
    V=stack gas flow rate (m\3\/second); and
    T=exhaust temperature ( deg.K).
The stack with the lowest value of K is the worst-case stack.

    (7) Criteria for facilities not eligible for screening limits. If 
any criteria below are met, the Tier I and Tier II screening limits do 
not apply. Owners and operators of such facilities must comply with 
either the Tier III standards provided by paragraph (d) of this section 
or with the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits provided by 
paragraph (e) of this section.
    (i) The device is located in a narrow valley less than one kilometer 
wide;
    (ii) The device has a stack taller than 20 meters and is located 
such that the terrain rises to the physical height within one kilometer 
of the facility;
    (iii) The device has a stack taller than 20 meters and is located 
within five kilometers of a shoreline of a large body of water such as 
an ocean or large lake;
    (iv) The physical stack height of any stack is less than 2.5 times 
the height of any building within five building heights or five 
projected building widths of the stack and the distance from the stack 
to the closest boundary is within five building heights or five 
projected building widths of the associated building; or
    (v) The Director determines that standards based on site-specific 
dispersion modeling are required.
    (8) Implementation. The feed rate of metals in each feedstream must 
be monitored to ensure that the feed rate screening limits are not 
exceeded.
    (c) Tier II emission rate screening limits. Emission rate screening 
limits are specified in appendix I as a function of terrain-adjusted 
effective stack height and terrain and land use in the vicinity of the 
facility. Criteria for facilities that are not eligible to comply with 
the screening limits are provided in paragraph (b)(7) of this section.
    (1) Noncarcinogenic metals. The emission rates of antimony, barium, 
lead, mercury, thallium, and silver shall not exceed the screening 
limits specified in appendix I of this part.
    (2) Carcinogenic metals. The emission rates of arsenic, cadmium, 
beryllium, and chromium shall not exceed values derived from the 
screening limits specified in appendix I of this part. The emission rate 
of each of these metals is limited to a level such that the sum of the 
ratios of the actual emission rate to the emission rate screening limit 
specified in appendix I shall not exceed 1.0, as provided by the 
following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.002


where:
    n=number of carcinogenic metals
    AER=actual emission rate for metal ``i''
    ERSL=emission rate screening limit provided by appendix I of this 
part for metal ``i''.

    (3) Implementation. The emission rate limits must be implemented by 
limiting feed rates of the individual metals to levels during the trial 
burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility applying for a 
permit) or the compliance test (for interim status facilities). The feed 
rate averaging periods are the same as provided by paragraphs (b)(1)(i) 
and (ii) and (b)(2)(ii) of

[[Page 38]]

this section. The feed rate of metals in each feedstream must be 
monitored to ensure that the feed rate limits for the feedstreams 
specified under Secs. 266.102 or 266.103 are not exceeded.
    (4) Definitions and limitations. The definitions and limitations 
provided by paragraph (b) of this section for the following terms also 
apply to the Tier II emission rate screening limits provided by 
paragraph (c) of this section: terrain-adjusted effective stack height, 
good engineering practice stack height, terrain type, land use, and 
criteria for facilities not eligible to use the screening limits.
    (5) Multiple stacks. (i) Owners and operators of facilities with 
more than one onsite stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, 
incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls on 
metals emissions under a RCRA operating permit or interim status 
controls must comply with the emissions screening limits for any such 
stacks assuming all hazardous waste is fed into the device with the 
worst-case stack based on dispersion characteristics.
    (ii) The worst-case stack is determined by procedures provided in 
paragraph (b)(6) of this section.
    (iii) For each metal, the total emissions of the metal from those 
stacks shall not exceed the screening limit for the worst-case stack.
    (d) Tier III and Adjusted Tier I site-specific risk assessment. The 
requirements of this paragraph apply to facilities complying with either 
the Tier III or Adjusted Tier I controls, except where specified 
otherwise.
    (1) General. Conformance with the Tier III metals controls must be 
demonstrated by emissions testing to determine the emission rate for 
each metal. In addition, conformance with either the Tier III or 
Adjusted Tier I metals controls must be demonstrated by air dispersion 
modeling to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level 
concentration for each dispersion modeling to predict the maximum annual 
average off-site ground level concentration for each metal, and a 
demonstration that acceptable ambient levels are not exceeded.
    (2) Acceptable ambient levels. Appendices IV and V of this part list 
the acceptable ambient levels for purposes of this rule. Reference air 
concentrations (RACs) are listed for the noncarcinogenic metals and 
10-5 risk-specific doses (RSDs) are listed for the 
carcinogenic metals. The RSD for a metal is the acceptable ambient level 
for that metal provided that only one of the four carcinogenic metals is 
emitted. If more than one carcinogenic metal is emitted, the acceptable 
ambient level for the carcinogenic metals is a fraction of the RSD as 
described in paragraph (d)(3) of this section.
    (3) Carcinogenic metals. For the carcinogenic metals, arsenic, 
cadmium, beryllium, and chromium, the sum of the ratios of the predicted 
maximum annual average off-site ground level concentrations (except that 
on-site concentrations must be considered if a person resides on site) 
to the risk-specific dose (RSD) for all carcinogenic metals emitted 
shall not exceed 1.0 as determined by the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.003

where: n=number of carcinogenic metals

    (4) Noncarcinogenic metals. For the noncarcinogenic metals, the 
predicted maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration for 
each metal shall not exceed the reference air concentration (RAC).
    (5) Multiple stacks. Owners and operators of facilities with more 
than one on-site stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator, 
or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls on metals emissions 
under a RCRA operating permit or interim status controls must conduct 
emissions testing (except

[[Page 39]]

that facilities complying with Adjusted Tier I controls need not conduct 
emissions testing) and dispersion modeling to demonstrate that the 
aggregate emissions from all such on-site stacks do not result in an 
exceedance of the acceptable ambient levels.
    (6) Implementation. Under Tier III, the metals controls must be 
implemented by limiting feed rates of the individual metals to levels 
during the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility 
applying for a permit) or the compliance test (for interim status 
facilities). The feed rate averaging periods are the same as provided by 
paragraphs (b)(1) (i) and (ii) and (b)(2)(ii) of this section. The feed 
rate of metals in each feedstream must be monitored to ensure that the 
feed rate limits for the feedstreams specified under Secs. 266.102 or 
266.103 are not exceeded.
    (e) Adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits. The owner or 
operator may adjust the feed rate screening limits provided by appendix 
I of this part to account for site-specific dispersion modeling. Under 
this approach, the adjusted feed rate screening limit for a metal is 
determined by back-calculating from the acceptable ambient level 
provided by appendices IV and V of this part using dispersion modeling 
to determine the maximum allowable emission rate. This emission rate 
becomes the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limit. The feed rate 
screening limits for carcinogenic metals are implemented as prescribed 
in paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
    (f) Alternative implementation approaches. (1) The Director may 
approve on a case-by-case basis approaches to implement the Tier II or 
Tier III metals emission limits provided by paragraphs (c) or (d) of 
this section alternative to monitoring the feed rate of metals in each 
feedstream.
    (2) The emission limits provided by paragraph (d) of this section 
must be determined as follows:
    (i) For each noncarcinogenic metal, by back-calculating from the RAC 
provided in appendix IV of this part to determine the allowable emission 
rate for each metal using the dilution factor for the maximum annual 
average ground level concentration predicted by dispersion modeling in 
conformance with paragraph (h) of this section; and
    (ii) For each carcinogenic metal by:
    (A) Back-calculating from the RSD provided in appendix V of this 
part to determine the allowable emission rate for each metal if that 
metal were the only carcinogenic metal emitted using the dilution factor 
for the maximum annual average ground level concentration predicted by 
dispersion modeling in conformance with paragraph (h) of this section; 
and
    (B) If more than one carcinogenic metal is emitted, selecting an 
emission limit for each carcinogenic metal not to exceed the emission 
rate determined by paragraph (f)(2)(ii)(A) of this section such that the 
sum for all carcinogenic metals of the ratios of the selected emission 
limit to the emission rate determined by that paragraph does not exceed 
1.0.
    (g) Emission testing--(1) General. Emission testing for metals shall 
be conducted using Method 0060, Determinations of Metals in Stack 
Emissions, EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in 
Sec. 260.11 of this chapter.
    (2) Hexavalent chromium. Emissions of chromium are assumed to be 
hexavalent chromium unless the owner or operator conducts emissions 
testing to determine hexavalent chromium emissions using procedures 
prescribed in Method 0061, Determination of Hexavalent Chromium 
Emissions from Stationary Sources, EPA Publication SW-846, as 
incorporated by reference in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter.
    (h) Dispersion Modeling. Dispersion modeling required under this 
section shall be conducted according to methods recommended in appendix 
W of part 51 of this chapter (``Guideline on Air Quality Models 
(Revised)'' (1986) and its supplements), the ``Hazardous Waste 
Combustion Air Quality Screening Procedure'', provided in appendix IX of 
this part, or in Screening Procedures for Estimating the Air Quality 
Impact of Stationary Sources, Revised (incorporated by reference in 
Sec. 260.11) to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level 
concentration. However, on-site concentrations must be considered when a 
person resides on-site.

[[Page 40]]

    (i) Enforcement. For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance 
with the operating requirements specified in the permit (under 
Sec. 266.102) will be regarded as compliance with this section. However, 
evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to 
ensure compliance with the requirements of this section may be 
``information'' justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of 
a permit under Sec. 270.41 of this chapter.

Sec. 266.107  Standards to control hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chlorine gas (Cl2) emissions.

    (a) General. The owner or operator must comply with the hydrogen 
chloride (HCl) and chlorine (Cl2) controls provided by 
paragraph (b), (c), or (e) of this section.
    (b) Screening limits--(1) Tier I feed rate screening limits. Feed 
rate screening limits are specified for total chlorine in appendix II of 
this part as a function of terrain-adjusted effective stack height and 
terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility. The feed rate of 
total chlorine and chloride, both organic and inorganic, in all feed 
streams, including hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed 
stocks shall not exceed the levels specified.
    (2) Tier II emission rate screening limits. Emission rate screening 
limits for HCl and Cl2 are specified in appendix III of this 
part as a function of terrain-adjusted effective stack height and 
terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility. The stack emission 
rates of HCl and Cl2 shall not exceed the levels specified.
    (3) Definitions and limitations. The definitions and limitations 
provided by Sec. 266.106(b) for the following terms also apply to the 
screening limits provided by this paragraph: terrain-adjusted effective 
stack height, good engineering practice stack height, terrain type, land 
use, and criteria for facilities not eligible to use the screening 
limits.
    (4) Multiple stacks. Owners and operators of facilities with more 
than one on-site stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator, 
or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls on HCl or 
Cl2 emissions under a RCRA operating permit or interim status 
controls must comply with the Tier I and Tier II screening limits for 
those stacks assuming all hazardous waste is fed into the device with 
the worst-case stack based on dispersion characteristics.
    (i) The worst-case stack is determined by procedures provided in 
Sec. 266.106(b)(6).
    (ii) Under Tier I, the total feed rate of chlorine and chloride to 
all subject devices shall not exceed the screening limit for the worst-
case stack.
    (iii) Under Tier II, the total emissions of HCl and Cl2 
from all subject stacks shall not exceed the screening limit for the 
worst-case stack.
    (c) Tier III site-specific risk assessments--(1) General. 
Conformance with the Tier III controls must be demonstrated by emissions 
testing to determine the emission rate for HCl and Cl2, air 
dispersion modeling to predict the maximum annual average off-site 
ground level concentration for each compound, and a demonstration that 
acceptable ambient levels are not exceeded.
    (2) Acceptable ambient levels. Appendix IV of this part lists the 
reference air concentrations (RACs) for HCl (7 micrograms per cubic 
meter) and Cl2 (0.4 micrograms per cubic meter).
    (3) Multiple stacks. Owners and operators of facilities with more 
than one on-site stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator, 
or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls on HCl or 
Cl2 emissions under a RCRA operating permit or interim status 
controls must conduct emissions testing and dispersion modeling to 
demonstrate that the aggregate emissions from all such on-site stacks do 
not result in an exceedance of the acceptable ambient levels for HCl and 
Cl2.
    (d) Averaging periods. The HCl and Cl2 controls are 
implemented by limiting the feed rate of total chlorine and chloride in 
all feedstreams, including hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial 
furnace feed stocks. Under Tier I, the feed rate of total chloride and 
chlorine is limited to the Tier I Screening Limits. Under Tier II and 
Tier III, the feed rate of total chloride and chlorine is limited

[[Page 41]]

to the feed rates during the trial burn (for new facilities or an 
interim status facility applying for a permit) or the compliance test 
(for interim status facilities). The feed rate limits are based on 
either:
    (1) An hourly rolling average as defined in Sec. 266.102(e)(6); or
    (2) An instantaneous basis not to be exceeded at any time.
    (e) Adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits. The owner or 
operator may adjust the feed rate screening limit provided by appendix 
II of this part to account for site-specific dispersion modeling. Under 
this approach, the adjusted feed rate screening limit is determined by 
back-calculating from the acceptable ambient level for Cl2 
provided by appendix IV of this part using dispersion modeling to 
determine the maximum allowable emission rate. This emission rate 
becomes the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limit.
    (f) Emissions testing. Emissions testing for HCl and Cl2 
shall be conducted using the procedures described in Methods 0050 or 
0051, EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in 
Sec. 260.11 of this chapter.
    (g) Dispersion modeling. Dispersion modeling shall be conducted 
according to the provisions of Sec. 266.106(h).
    (h) Enforcement. For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance 
with the operating requirements specified in the permit (under 
Sec. 266.102) will be regarded as compliance with this section. However, 
evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to 
ensure compliance with the requirements of this section may be 
``information'' justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of 
a permit under Sec. 270.41 of this chapter.

Sec. 266.108  Small quantity on-site burner exemption.

    (a) Exempt quantities. Owners and operators of facilities that burn 
hazardous waste in an on-site boiler or industrial furnace are exempt 
from the requirements of this subpart provided that:
    (1) The quantity of hazardous waste burned in a device for a

    (2) The maximum hazardous waste firing rate does not exceed at any 
time 1 percent of the total fuel requirements for the device (hazardous 
waste plus other fuel) on a total heat input or mass input basis, 
whichever results in the lower mass feed rate of hazardous waste.
    (3) The hazardous waste has a minimum heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb, 
as generated; and
    (4) The hazardous waste fuel does not contain (and is not derived 
from) EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027.
    (b) Mixing with nonhazardous fuels. If hazardous waste fuel is mixed 
with a nonhazardous fuel, the quantity of hazardous waste before such 
mixing is used to comply with paragraph (a).
    (c) Multiple stacks. If an owner or operator burns hazardous waste 
in more than one on-site boiler or industrial furnace exempt under this 
section, the quantity limits provided by paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section are implemented according to the following equation:

[[Page 42]]


where:
    n means the number of stacks;
    Actual Quantity Burned means the waste quantity burned per month in 
device ``i'';
    Allowable Quantity Burned means the maximum allowable exempt 
quantity for stack ``i'' from the table in (a)(1) above.
    Note: Hazardous wastes that are subject to the special requirements 
for small quantity generators under Sec. 261.5 of this chapter may be 
burned in an off-site device under the exemption provided by 
Sec. 266.108, but must be included in the quantity determination for the 
exemption.
    (d) Notification requirements. The owner or operator of facilities 
qualifying for the small quantity burner exemption under this section 
must provide a one-time signed, written notice to EPA indicating the 
following:

Sec. 266.109  Low risk waste exemption.

    (a) Waiver of DRE standard. The DRE standard of Sec. 266.104(a) does 
not apply if the boiler or industrial furnace is operated in conformance 
with (a)(1) of this section and the owner or operator demonstrates by 
procedures prescribed in (a)(2) of this section that the burning will 
not result in unacceptable adverse health effects.
    (1) The device shall be operated as follows:
    (i) A minimum of 50 percent of fuel fired to the device shall be 
fossil fuel, fuels derived from fossil fuel, tall oil, or, if approved 
by the Director on a case-by-case basis, other nonhazardous fuel with 
combustion characteristics comparable to fossil fuel. Such fuels are 
termed ``primary fuel'' for purposes of this section. (Tall oil is a 
fuel derived from vegetable and rosin fatty acids.) The 50 percent 
primary fuel firing rate shall be determined on a total heat or mass 
input basis, whichever results in the greater mass feed rate of primary 
fuel fired;
    (ii) Primary fuels and hazardous waste fuels shall have a minimum 
as-fired heating value of 8,000 Btu/lb;
    (iii) The hazardous waste is fired directly into the primary fuel 
flame zone of the combustion chamber; and
    (iv) The device operates in conformance with the carbon monoxide 
controls provided by Sec. 266.104(b)(1). Devices subject to the 
exemption provided by this section are not eligible for the alternative 
carbon monoxide controls provided by Sec. 266.104(c).
    (2) Procedures to demonstrate that the hazardous waste burning will 
not pose unacceptable adverse public health effects are as follows:
    (i) Identify and quantify those nonmetal compounds listed in 
appendix VIII, part 261 of this chapter that could reasonably be 
expected to be present in the hazardous waste. The constituents excluded 
from analysis must be identified and the basis for their exclusion 
explained;
    (ii) Calculate reasonable, worst case emission rates for each 
constitutent identified in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section by 
assuming the device achieves 99.9 percent destruction and removal 
efficiency. That is, assume that 0.1 percent of the mass weight of each 
constitutent fed to the device is emitted.
    (iii) For each constituent identified in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this 
section, use emissions dispersion modeling to predict the maximum annual 
average ground level concentration of the constituent.
    (A) Dispersion modeling shall be conducted using methods specified 
in Sec. 266.106(h).
    (B) Owners and operators of facilities with more than one on-site 
stack from a boiler or industrial furnace that is

[[Page 43]]

exempt under this section must conduct dispersion modeling of emissions 
from all stacks exempt under this section to predict ambient levels 
prescribed by this paragraph.
    (iv) Ground level concentrations of constituents predicted under 
paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section must not exceed the following 
levels:
    (A) For the noncarcinogenic compounds listed in appendix IV of this 
part, the levels established in appendix IV;
    (B) For the carcinogenic compounds listed in appendix V of this 
part, the sum for all constituents of the ratios of the actual ground 
level concentration to the level established in appendix V cannot exceed 
1.0; and
    (C) For constituents not listed in appendix IV or V, 0.1 micrograms 
per cubic meter.
    (b) Waiver of particular matter standard. The particulate matter 
standard of Sec. 266.105 does not apply if:
    (1) The DRE standard is waived under paragraph (a) of this section; 
and
    (2) The owner or operator complies with the Tier I or adjusted Tier 
I metals feed rate screening limits provided by Sec. 266.106 (b) or (e).

Sec. 266.110  Waiver of DRE trial burn for boilers.

    Boilers that operate under the special requirements of this section, 
and that do not burn hazardous waste containing (or derived from) EPA 
Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027, are 
considered to be in conformance with the DRE standard of 
Sec. 266.104(a), and a trial burn to demonstrate DRE is waived. When 
burning hazardous waste:
    (a) A minimum of 50 percent of fuel fired to the device shall be 
fossil fuel, fuels derived from fossil fuel, tall oil, or, if approved 
by the Director on a case-by-case basis, other nonhazardous fuel with 
combustion characteristics comparable to fossil fuel. Such fuels are 
termed ``primary fuel'' for purposes of this section. (Tall oil is a 
fuel derived from vegetable and rosin fatty acids.) The 50 percent 
primary fuel firing rate shall be determined on a total heat or mass 
input basis, whichever results in the greater mass feed rate of primary 
fuel fired;
    (b) Boiler load shall not be less than 40 percent. Boiler load is 
the ratio at any time of the total heat input to the maximum design heat 
input;
    (c) Primary fuels and hazardous waste fuels shall have a minimum as-
fired heating value of 8,000 Btu/lb, and each material fired in a burner 
where hazardous waste is fired must have a heating value of at least 
8,000 Btu/lb, as-fired;
    (d) The device shall operate in conformance with the carbon monoxide 
standard provided by Sec. 266.104(b)(1). Boilers subject to the waiver 
of the DRE trial burn provided by this section are not eligible for the 
alternative carbon monoxide standard provided by Sec. 266.104(c);
    (e) The boiler must be a watertube type boiler that does not feed 
fuel using a stoker or stoker type mechanism; and
    (f) The hazardous waste shall be fired directly into the primary 
fuel flame zone of the combustion chamber with an air or steam 
atomization firing system, mechanical atomization system, or a rotary 
cup atomization system under the following conditions:
    (1) Viscosity. The viscosity of the hazardous waste fuel as-fired 
shall not exceed 300 SSU;
    (2) Particle size. When a high pressure air or steam atomizer, low 
pressure atomizer, or mechanical atomizer is used, 70% of the hazardous 
waste fuel must pass through a 200 mesh (74 micron) screen, and when a 
rotary cup atomizer is used, 70% of the hazardous waste must pass 
through a 100 mesh (150 micron) screen;
    (3) Mechanical atomization systems. Fuel pressure within a 
mechanical atomization system and fuel flow rate shall be maintained 
within the design range taking into account the viscosity and volatility 
of the fuel;
    (4) Rotary cup atomization systems. Fuel flow rate through a rotary 
cup atomization system must be maintained within the design range taking 
into account the viscosity and volatility of the fuel.

Sec. 266.111  Standards for direct transfer.

    (a) Applicability. The regulations in this section apply to owners 
and operators of boilers and industrial furnaces subject to 
Secs. 266.102 or 266.103 if hazardous waste is directly transferred from 
a transport vehicle to a boiler or industrial furnace without the use of 
a storage unit.
    (b) Definitions. (1) When used in this section, the following terms 
have the meanings given below:
    Direct transfer equipment means any device (including but not 
limited to, such devices as piping, fittings, flanges, valves, and 
pumps) that is used to distribute, meter, or control the flow of 
hazardous waste between a container (i.e., transport vehicle) and a 
boiler or industrial furnace.
    Container means any portable device in which hazardous waste is 
transported, stored, treated, or otherwise handled, and includes 
transport vehicles that are containers themselves (e.g., tank trucks, 
tanker-trailers, and rail tank cars), and containers placed on or in a 
transport vehicle.
    (2) This section references several requirements provided in 
subparts I and J of parts 264 and 265. For purposes of this section, the 
term ``tank systems'' in those referenced requirements means direct 
transfer equipment as defined in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
    (c) General operating requirements. (1) No direct transfer of a 
pumpable hazardous waste shall be conducted from an open-top container 
to a boiler or industrial furnace.
    (2) Direct transfer equipment used for pumpable hazardous waste 
shall always be closed, except when necessary to add or remove the 
waste, and shall not be opened, handled, or stored in a manner that may 
cause any rupture or leak.
    (3) The direct transfer of hazardous waste to a boiler or industrial 
furnace shall be conducted so that it does not:
    (i) Generate extreme heat or pressure, fire, explosion, or violent 
reaction;
    (ii) Produce uncontrolled toxic mists, fumes, dusts, or gases in 
sufficient quantities to threaten human health;
    (iii) Produce uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient 
quantities to pose a risk of fire or explosions;
    (iv) Damage the structural integrity of the container or direct 
transfer equipment containing the waste;
    (v) Adversely affect the capability of the boiler or industrial 
furnace to meet the standards provided by Secs. 266.104 through 266.107; 
or
    (vi) Threaten human health or the environment.
    (4) Hazardous waste shall not be placed in direct transfer 
equipment, if it could cause the equipment or its secondary containment 
system to rupture, leak, corrode, or otherwise fail.
    (5) The owner or operator of the facility shall use appropriate 
controls and practices to prevent spills and overflows from the direct 
transfer equipment or its secondary containment systems. These include 
at a minimum:
    (i) Spill prevention controls (e.g., check valves, dry discount 
couplings); and
    (ii) Automatic waste feed cutoff to use if a leak or spill occurs 
from the direct transfer equipment.
    (d) Areas where direct transfer vehicles (containers) are located. 
Applying the definition of container under this section, owners and 
operators must comply with the following requirements:
    (1) The containment requirements of Sec. 264.175 of this chapter;
    (2) The use and management requirements of subpart I, part 265 of 
this chapter, except for Secs. 265.170 and 265.174, and except that in 
lieu of the special requirements of Sec. 265.176 for ignitable or 
reactive waste, the owner or operator may comply with the requirements 
for the maintenance of protective distances between the waste management 
area and any public ways, streets, alleys, or an adjacent property line 
that can be built upon as required in Tables 2-1 through 2-6 of the 
National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) ``Flammable and 
Combustible Liquids Code,'' (1977 or 1981), (incorporated by reference, 
see Sec. 260.11). The owner or operator must obtain and keep on file at 
the facility a written certification by the local Fire Marshall that the 
installation meets the subject NFPA codes; and
    (3) The closure requirements of Sec. 264.178 of this chapter.

[[Page 45]]

    (e) Direct transfer equipment. Direct transfer equipment must meet 
the following requirements:
    (1) Secondary containment. Owners and operators shall comply with 
the secondary containment requirements of Sec. 265.193 of this chapter, 
except for paragraphs 265.193 (a), (d), (e), and (i) as follows:
    (i) For all new direct transfer equipment, prior to their being put 
into service; and
    (ii) For existing direct transfer equipment within 2 years after 
August 21, 1991.
    (2) Requirements prior to meeting secondary containment 
requirements. (i) For existing direct transfer equipment that does not 
have secondary containment, the owner or operator shall determine 
whether the equipment is leaking or is unfit for use. The owner or 
operator shall obtain and keep on file at the facility a written 
assessment reviewed and certified by a qualified, registered 
professional engineer in accordance with Sec. 270.11(d) of this chapter 
that attests to the equipment's integrity by August 21, 1992.
    (ii) This assessment shall determine whether the direct transfer 
equipment is adequately designed and has sufficient structural strength 
and compatibility with the waste(s) to be transferred to ensure that it 
will not collapse, rupture, or fail. At a minimum, this assessment shall 
consider the following:
    (A) Design standard(s), if available, according to which the direct 
transfer equipment was constructed;
    (B) Hazardous characteristics of the waste(s) that have been or will 
be handled;
    (C) Existing corrosion protection measures;
    (D) Documented age of the equipment, if available, (otherwise, an 
estimate of the age); and
    (E) Results of a leak test or other integrity examination such that 
the effects of temperature variations, vapor pockets, cracks, leaks, 
corrosion, and erosion are accounted for.
    (iii) If, as a result of the assessment specified above, the direct 
transfer equipment is found to be leaking or unfit for use, the owner or 
operator shall comply with the requirements of Secs. 265.196 (a) and (b) 
of this chapter.
    (3) Inspections and recordkeeping. (i) The owner or operator must 
inspect at least once each operating hour when hazardous waste is being 
transferred from the transport vehicle (container) to the boiler or 
industrial furnace:
    (A) Overfill/spill control equipment (e.g., waste-feed cutoff 
systems, bypass systems, and drainage systems) to ensure that it is in 
good working order;
    (B) The above ground portions of the direct transfer equipment to 
detect corrosion, erosion, or releases of waste (e.g., wet spots, dead 
vegetation); and
    (C) Data gathered from monitoring equipment and leak-detection 
equipment, (e.g., pressure and temperature gauges) to ensure that the 
direct transfer equipment is being operated according to its design.
    (ii) The owner or operator must inspect cathodic protection systems, 
if used, to ensure that they are functioning properly according to the 
schedule provided by Sec. 265.195(b) of this chapter:
    (iii) Records of inspections made under this paragraph shall be 
maintained in the operating record at the facility, and available for 
inspection for at least 3 years from the date of the inspection.
    (4) Design and installation of new ancillary equipment. Owners and 
operators must comply with the requirements of Sec. 265.192 of this 
chapter.

Sec. 266.112  Regulation of residues.

    A residue derived from the burning or processing of hazardous waste 
in a boiler or industrial furnace is not excluded from the definition of 
a hazardous waste under Sec. 261.4(b) (4), (7), or (8) unless the device 
and the owner or operator meet the following requirements:
    (a) The device meets the following criteria:

[[Page 46]]

    (1) Boilers. Boilers must burn at least 50% coal on a total heat 
input or mass input basis, whichever results in the greater mass feed 
rate of coal;
    (2) Ore or mineral furnaces. Industrial furnaces subject to 
Sec. 261.4(b)(7) must process at least 50% by weight normal, 
nonhazardous raw materials;
    (3) Cement kilns. Cement kilns must process at least 50% by weight 
normal cement-production raw materials;
    (b) The owner or operator demonstrates that the hazardous waste does 
not significantly affect the residue by demonstrating conformance with 
either of the following criteria:
    (1) Comparison of waste-derived residue with normal residue. The 
waste-derived residue must not contain appendix VIII, part 261 
constituents (toxic constituents) that could reasonably be attributable 
to the hazardous waste at concentrations significantly higher than in 
residue generated without burning or processing of hazardous waste, 
using the following procedure. Toxic compounds that could reasonably be 
attributable to burning or processing the hazardous waste (constituents 
of concern) include toxic constituents in the hazardous waste, and the 
organic compounds listed in appendix VIII of this part that may be 
generated as products of incomplete combustion. Sampling and analyses 
shall be in conformance with procedures prescribed in Test Methods for 
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, incorporated by 
reference in Sec. 260.11(a) of this chapter.
    (i) Normal residue. Concentrations of toxic constituents of concern 
in normal residue shall be determined based on analyses of a minimum of 
10 samples representing a minimum of 10 days of operation. Composite 
samples may be used to develop a sample for analysis provided that the 
compositing period does not exceed 24 hours. The upper tolerance limit 
(at 95% confidence with a 95% proportion of the sample distribution) of 
the concentration in the normal residue shall be considered the 
statistically-derived concentration in the normal residue. If changes in 
raw materials or fuels reduce the statistically-derived concentrations 
of the toxic constituents of concern in the normal residue, the 
statistically-derived concentrations must be revised or statistically-
derived concentrations of toxic constituents in normal residue must be 
established for a new mode of operation with the new raw material or 
fuel. To determine the upper tolerance limit in the normal residue, the 
owner or operator shall use statistical procedures prescribed in 
``Statistical Methodology for Bevill Residue Determinations'' in 
appendix IX of this part.
    (ii) Waste-derived residue. Waste-derived residue shall be sampled 
and analyzed as often as necessary to determine whether the residue 
generated during each 24-hour period has concentrations of toxic 
constituents that are higher than the concentrations established for the 
normal residue under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section. If so, 
hazardous waste burning has significantly affected the residue and the 
residue shall not be excluded from the definition of a hazardous waste. 
Concentrations of toxic constituents of concern in the waste-derived 
residue shall be determined based on analysis of one or more samples 
obtained over a 24-hour period. Multiple samples may be analyzed, and 
multiple samples may be taken to form a composite sample for analysis 
provided that the sampling period does not exceed 24 hours. If more than 
one sample is analyzed to characterize waste-derived residues generated 
over a 24-hour period, the concentration of each toxic constituent shall 
be the arithmetic mean of the concentrations in the samples. No results 
may be disregarded; or
    (2) Comparison of waste-derived residue concentrations with health-
based limits--(i) Nonmetal constituents. The concentration of each 
nonmetal toxic constituent of concern (specified in paragraph (b)(1) of 
this section) in the waste-derived residue must not exceed the health-
based level specified in appendix VII of this part, or the level of 
detection (using analytical procedures prescribed in SW-846), whichever 
is higher. If a health-based limit for a constituent of concern is not 
listed in appendix VII of this part, then a limit of 0.002 micrograms 
per kilogram or the level of detection (using analytical procedures 
prescribed in SW-846), whichever is higher, shall be used. The levels 
specified in appendix VII of this

[[Page 47]]

part (and the default level of 0.002 micrograms per kilogram or the 
level of detection for constituents as identified in Note 1 of appendix 
VII of this chapter) are administratively stayed under the condition, 
for those constituents specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, 
that the owner or operator complies with alternative levels defined as 
the land disposal restriction limits specified in Sec. 268.43 of this 
chapter for FO39 nonwastewaters. In complying with those alternative 
levels, if an owner or operator is unable to detect a constituent 
despite documenting use of best good-faith efforts as defined by 
applicable Agency guidance or standards, the owner or operator is deemed 
to be in compliance for that constituent. Until new guidance or 
standards are developed, the owner or operator may demonstrate such 
good-faith efforts by achieving a detection limit for the constituent 
that does not exceed an order of magnitude above the level provided by 
Sec. 268.43 for FO39 nonwastewaters. The stay will remain in effect 
until further administrative action is taken and notice is published in 
the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations; and
    (ii) Metal constituents. The concentration of metals in an extract 
obtained using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure of 
Sec. 261.24 of this chapter must not exceed the levels specified in 
appendix VII of this part; and
    (iii) Sampling and analysis. Waste-derived residue shall be sampled 
and analyzed as often as necessary to determine whether the residue 
generated during each 24-hour period has concentrations of toxic 
constituents that are higher than the health-based levels. 
Concentrations of toxic constituents of concern in the waste-derived 
residue shall be determined based on analysis of one or more samples 
obtained over a 24-hour period. Multiple samples may be analyzed, and 
multiple samples may be taken to form a composite sample for analysis 
provided that the sampling period does not exceed 24 hours. If more than 
one sample is analyzed to characterize waste-derived residues generated 
over a 24-hour period, the concentration of each toxic constituent shall 
be the arithmetic mean of the concentrations in the samples. No results 
may be disregarded; and
    (c) Records sufficient to document compliance with the provisions of 
this section shall be retained until closure of the boiler or industrial 
furnace unit. At a minimum, the following shall be recorded.
    (1) Levels of constituents in appendix VIII, part 261, that are 
present in waste-derived residues;
    (2) If the waste-derived residue is compared with normal residue 
under paragraph (b)(1) of this section:
    (i) The levels of constituents in appendix VIII, part 261, that are 
present in normal residues; and
    (ii) Data and information, including analyses of samples as 
necessary, obtained to determine if changes in raw materials or fuels 
would reduce the concentration of toxic constituents of concern in the 
normal residue.

    Military range means designated land and water areas set aside, 
managed, and used to conduct research on, develop, test, and evaluate 
military munitions and explosives, other ordnance, or weapon systems, or 
to train military personnel in their use and handling. Ranges include 
firing lines and positions, maneuver areas, firing lanes, test pads, 
detonation pads, impact areas, and buffer zones with restricted access 
and exclusionary areas.
    Unexploded ordnance (UXO) means military munitions that have been 
primed, fused, armed, or otherwise prepared for action, and have been 
fired, dropped, launched, projected, or placed in such a manner as to 
constitute a hazard to operations, installation, personnel, or material 
and remain unexploded either by malfunction, design, or any other cause.



Sec. 266.202  Definition of solid waste.

    (a) A military munition is not a solid waste when:
    (1) Used for its intended purpose, including:
    (i) Use in training military personnel or explosives and munitions 
emergency response specialists (including training in proper destruction 
of unused propellant or other munitions); or
    (ii) Use in research, development, testing, and evaluation of 
military munitions, weapons, or weapon systems; or
    (iii) Recovery, collection, and on-range destruction of unexploded 
ordnance and munitions fragments during range clearance activities at 
active or inactive ranges. However, ``use for intended purpose'' does 
not include the on-range disposal or burial of unexploded ordnance and 
contaminants when the burial is not a result of product use.
    (2) An unused munition, or component thereof, is being repaired, 
reused, recycled, reclaimed, disassembled, reconfigured, or otherwise 
subjected to materials recovery activities, unless such activities 
involve use constituting disposal as defined in 40 CFR 261.2(c)(1), or 
burning for energy recovery as defined in 40 CFR 261.2(c)(2).
    (b) An unused military munition is a solid waste when any of the 
following occurs:
    (1) The munition is abandoned by being disposed of, burned, 
detonated (except during intended use as specified in paragraph (a) of 
this section), incinerated, or treated prior to disposal; or
    (2) The munition is removed from storage in a military magazine or 
other storage area for the purpose of being disposed of, burned, or 
incinerated, or treated prior to disposal, or
    (3) The munition is deteriorated or damaged (e.g., the integrity of 
the munition is compromised by cracks, leaks, or other damage) to the 
point that it cannot be put into serviceable condition, and cannot 
reasonably be recycled or used for other purposes; or
    (4) The munition has been declared a solid waste by an authorized 
military official.
    (c) A used or fired military munition is a solid waste:
    (1) When transported off range or from the site of use, where the 
site of use is not a range, for the purposes of storage, reclamation, 
treatment, disposal, or treatment prior to disposal; or
    (2) If recovered, collected, and then disposed of by burial, or 
landfilling either on or off a range.
    (d) For purposes of RCRA section 1004(27), a used or fired military 
munition is a solid waste, and, therefore, is potentially subject to 
RCRA corrective

[[Page 49]]

action authorities under sections 3004(u) and (v), and 3008(h), or 
imminent and substantial endangerment authorities under section 7003, if 
the munition lands off-range and is not promptly rendered safe and/or 
retrieved. Any imminent and substantial threats associated with any 
remaining material must be addressed. If remedial action is infeasible, 
the operator of the range must maintain a record of the event for as 
long as any threat remains. The record must include the type of munition 
and its location (to the extent the location is known).



Sec. 266.203  Standards applicable to the transportation of solid waste military munitions.

    (a) Criteria for hazardous waste regulation of waste non-chemical 
military munitions in transportation. (1) Waste military munitions that 
are being transported and that exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic 
or are listed as hazardous waste under 40 CFR part 261, are listed or 
identified as a hazardous waste (and thus are subject to regulation 
under 40 CFR parts 260 through 270), unless all the following conditions 
are met:
    (i) The waste military munitions are not chemical agents or chemical 
munitions;
    (ii) The waste military munitions must be transported in accordance 
with the Department of Defense shipping controls applicable to the 
transport of military munitions;
    (iii) The waste military munitions must be transported from a 
military owned or operated installation to a military owned or operated 
treatment, storage, or disposal facility; and
    (iv) The transporter of the waste must provide oral notice to the 
Director within 24 hours from the time the transporter becomes aware of 
any loss or theft of the waste military munitions, or any failure to 
meet a condition of paragraph (a)(1) of this section that may endanger 
health or the environment. In addition, a written submission describing 
the circumstances shall be provided within 5 days from the time the 
transporter becomes aware of any loss or theft of the waste military 
munitions or any failure to meet a condition of paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section.
    (2) If any waste military munitions shipped under paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section are not received by the receiving facility within 45 
days of the day the waste was shipped, the owner or operator of the 
receiving facility must report this non-receipt to the Director within 5 
days.
    (3) The exemption in paragraph (a)(1) of this section from 
regulation as hazardous waste shall apply only to the transportation of 
non-chemical waste military munitions. It does not affect the regulatory 
status of waste military munitions as hazardous wastes with regard to 
storage, treatment or disposal.
    (4) The conditional exemption in paragraph (a)(1) of this section 
applies only so long as all of the conditions in paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section are met.
    (b) Reinstatement of exemption. If any waste military munition loses 
its exemption under paragraph (a)(1) of this section, an application may 
be filed with the Director for reinstatement of the exemption from 
hazardous waste transportation regulation with respect to such munition 
as soon as the munition is returned to compliance with the conditions of 
paragraph (a)(1) of this section. If the Director finds that 
reinstatement of the exemption is appropriate based on factors such as 
the transporter's provision of a satisfactory explanation of the 
circumstances of the violation, or a demonstration that the violations 
are not likely to recur, the Director may reinstate the exemption under 
paragraph (a)(1) of this section. If the Director does not take action 
on the reinstatement application within 60 days after receipt of the 
application, then reinstatement shall be deemed granted, retroactive to 
the date of the application. However, the Director may terminate a 
conditional exemption reinstated by default in the preceding sentence if 
the Director finds that reinstatement is inappropriate based on factors 
such as the transporter's failure to provide a satisfactory explanation 
of the circumstances of the violation, or failure to demonstrate that 
the violations are not likely to recur. In reinstating the exemption 
under paragraph (a)(1) of this section, the Director may specify

[[Page 50]]

additional conditions as are necessary to ensure and document proper 
transportation to protect human health and the environment.
    (c) Amendments to DOD shipping controls. The Department of Defense 
shipping controls applicable to the transport of military munitions 
referenced in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section are Government Bill 
of Lading (GBL) (GSA Standard Form 1109), requisition tracking form DD 
Form 1348, the Signature and Talley Record (DD Form 1907), Special 
Instructions for Motor Vehicle Drivers (DD Form 836), and the Motor 
Vehicle Inspection Report (DD Form 626) in effect on November 8, 1995,

Department of Defense shipping controls shall become effective for 
purposes of paragraph (a)(1) of this section on the date the Department 
of Defense publishes notice in the Federal Register that the shipping 
controls referenced in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section have been 
amended.



Sec. 266.204  Standards applicable to emergency responses.

    Explosives and munitions emergencies involving military munitions or 
explosives are subject to 40 CFR 262.10(i), 263.10(e), 264.1(g)(8), 
265.1(c)(11), and 270.1(c)(3), or alternatively to 40 CFR 270.61.



Sec. 266.205  Standards applicable to the storage of solid waste military munitions.

    (a) Criteria for hazardous waste regulation of waste non-chemical 
military munitions in storage. (1) Waste military munitions in storage 
that exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic or are listed as hazardous 
waste under 40 CFR Part 261, are listed or identified as a hazardous 
waste (and thus are subject to regulation under 40 CFR Parts 260 through 
279), unless all the following conditions are met:
    (i) The waste military munitions are not chemical agents or chemical 
munitions.
    (ii) The waste military munitions must be subject to the 
jurisdiction of the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board 
(DDESB).
    (iii) The waste military munitions must be stored in accordance with

    (iv) Within 90 days of August 12, 1997 or within 90 days of when a 
storage unit is first used to store waste military munitions, whichever 
is later, the owner or operator must notify the Director of the location 
of any waste storage unit used to store waste military munitions for 
which the conditional exemption in paragraph (a)(1) is claimed.
    (v) The owner or operator must provide oral notice to the Director 
within 24 hours from the time the owner or operator becomes aware of any 
loss or theft of the waste military munitions, or any failure to meet a 
condition of paragraph (a)(1) that may endanger health or the 
environment. In addition, a written submission describing the 
circumstances shall be provided within 5 days from the time the owner or 
operator becomes aware of any loss or theft of the waste military 
munitions or any failure to meet a condition of paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section.
    (vi) The owner or operator must inventory the waste military 
munitions at least annually, must inspect the waste military munitions 
at least quarterly for compliance with the conditions of paragraph 
(a)(1) of this section, and must maintain records of the findings of 
these inventories and inspections for at least three years.
    (vii) Access to the stored waste military munitions must be limited 
to appropriately trained and authorized personnel.
    (2) The conditional exemption in paragraph (a)(1) of this section 
from regulation as hazardous waste shall apply only to the storage of

status of waste military munitions as hazardous wastes with regard to 
transportation, treatment or disposal.
    (3) The conditional exemption in paragraph (a)(1) of this section 
applies only so long as all of the conditions in paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section are met.
    (b) Notice of termination of waste storage. The owner or operator 
must notify the Director when a storage unit identified in paragraph 
(a)(1)(iv) of this

[[Page 51]]

section will no longer be used to store waste military munitions.
    (c) Reinstatement of conditional exemption. If any waste military 
munition loses its conditional exemption under paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section, an application may be filed with the Director for reinstatement 
of the conditional exemption from hazardous waste storage regulation 
with respect to such munition as soon as the munition is returned to 
compliance with the conditions of paragraph (a)(1) of this section. If 
the Director finds that reinstatement of the conditional exemption is 
appropriate based on factors such as the owner's or operator's provision 
of a satisfactory explanation of the circumstances of the violation, or 
a demonstration that the violations are not likely to recur, the 
Director may reinstate the conditional exemption under paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section. If the Director does not take action on the 
reinstatement application within 60 days after receipt of the 
application, then reinstatement shall be deemed granted, retroactive to 
the date of the application. However, the Director may terminate a 
conditional exemption reinstated by default in the preceding sentence if 
he/she finds that reinstatement is inappropriate based on factors such 
as the owner's or operator's failure to provide a satisfactory 
explanation of the circumstances of the violation, or failure to 
demonstrate that the violations are not likely to recur. In reinstating 
the conditional exemption under paragraph (a)(1) of this section, the 
Director may specify additional conditions as are necessary to ensure 
and document proper storage to protect human health and the environment.
    (d) Waste chemical munitions. (1) Waste military munitions that are 
chemical agents or chemical munitions and that exhibit a hazardous waste

    Section 2.0  Performance Specifications for Continuous Emission 
                           Monitoring Systems

 2.l  Performance Specifications for Continuous Emission Monitoring of 
  Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen for Incinerators, Boilers, and Industrial 
                    Furnaces Burning Hazardous Waste

                   2.1.1  Applicability and Principle

    2.1.1.1  Applicability. These performance specifications apply to 
carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2) continuous emission 
monitoring systems (CEMSs) installed on incinerators, boilers, and 
industrial furnaces burning hazardous waste. The specifications include 
procedures which are intended to be used to evaluate the acceptability 
of the CEMS at the time of its installation or whenever specified in 
regulations or permits. The procedures are not designed to evaluate CEMS 
performance over an extended period of time. The source owner or 
operator is responsible for the proper calibration, maintenance, and 
operation of the CEMS at all times.
    2.1.1.2  Principle. Installation and measurement location 
specifications, performance and equipment specifications, test and data 
reduction procedures, and brief quality assurance guidelines are 
included in the specifications. Calibration drift, relative accuracy, 
calibration error, and response time tests are conducted to determine 
conformance of the CEMS with the specifications.

                           2.1.2  Definitions

    2.1.2.1  Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS). A continuous 
monitor is one in which the sample to be analyzed passes the measurement 
section of the analyzer without interruption, and which evaluates the 
detector response to the sample at least once each 15 seconds and 
computes and records the results at least every 60 seconds. A CEMS 
consists of all the equipment used to acquire data and includes the 
sample extraction and transport hardware, the analyzer(s), and the data 
recording/processing hardware and software.
    2.1.2.2  Monitoring System Types. The specifications require CEMSs 
capable of accepting calibration gases. Alternative system designs may 
be used if approved by the Regional Administrator. There are two basic 
types of monitoring systems: extractive and in-situ.
    2.1.2.2.1  Extractive. Systems that use a pump or other mechanical, 
pneumatic, or hydraulic means to draw a sample of the stack or flue gas 
and convey it to a remotely located analyzer.
    2.1.2.2.2  In-situ. Systems that perform an analysis without 
removing a sample from the stack. Point in-situ analyzers place the 
sensing or detecting element directly in the flue gas stream. Cross-
stack in-situ analyzers measure the parameter of interest by placing a 
source beam on one side of the stack and the detector (in single-pass 
instruments) or a retroreflector (in double-pass instruments) on the 
other side, and measuring the parameter of interest (e.g., CO) by the 
attenuation of the beam by the gas in its path.
    2.1.2.3  Instrument Measurement Range. The difference between the 
minimum and maximum concentration that can be measured by a specific 
instrument. The minimum is often stated or assumed to be zero and the 
range expressed only as the maximum.
    2.1.2.4  Span or Span Value. Full scale instrument measurement 
range.
    2.1.2.5  Calibration Drift (CD). The difference in the CEMS output 
readings from the established reference value after a stated period of 
operation during which no unscheduled maintenance, repair, or adjustment 
takes place. A CD test is performed to demonstrate the stability of the 
CEMS calibration over time.
    2.1.2.6  Response Time. The time interval between the start of a 
step change in the system input (e.g., change of calibration gas) and 
the time when the data recorder displays 95 percent of the final value.
    2.1.2.7  Accuracy. A measure of agreement between a measured value 
and an accepted or true value, expressed as the percentage difference 
between the true and measured values relative to the true value. For 
these performance specifications, accuracy is checked by conducting a 
calibration error (CE) test and a relative accuracy (RA) test. Certain 
facilities, such as those using solid waste or batch-fed processes, may 
observe long periods of almost no CO emissions with brief, high-level CO 
emission spikes. These facilities, as well as facilities whose CO 
emissions

[[Page 64]]

never exceed 5-10 ppm, may need to be exempted from the RA requirement 
because the RA test procedure cannot ensure acquisition of meaningful 
test results under these conditions. An alternative procedure for 
accuracy determination is described in section 2.1.9.
    2.1.2.8  Calibration Error (CE). The difference between the 
concentration indicated by the CEMS and the known concentration of the 
cylinder gas. A CE test procedure is performed to document the accuracy 
and linearity of the monitoring equipment over the entire measurement 
range.
    2.1.2.9  Relative Accuracy (RA). A comparison of the CEMS response 
to a value measured by a performance test method (PTM). The PA test is 
used to validate the calibration technique and verify the ability of the 
CEMS to provide representative and accurate measurements.
    2.1.2.10  Performance Test Method (PTM). The sampling and analysis 
procedure used to obtain reference measurements for comparison to CEMS 
measurements. The applicable test methods are Method 10, 10A, or 10B 
(for the determination of CO) and Method 3 or 3A (for the determination 
of 02). These methods are found in 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A.
    2.1.2.11  Performance Specification Test (PST) Period. The period 
during which CD, CE, response time, and RA tests are conducted.
    2.1.2.12  Centroidal Area. A concentric area that is geometrically 
similar to the stack or duct cross section and is no greater than 1 
percent of the stack or duct cross-sectional area.

       2.1.3  Installation and Measurement Location Specifications

    2.1.3.1  CEMS Installation and Measurement Locations. The CEMS shall 
be installed in a location in which measurements representative of the 
source's emissions can be obtained. The optimum location of the sample 
interface for the CEMS is determined by a number of factors, including 
ease of access for calibration and maintenance, the degree to which 
sample conditioning will be required, the degree to which it represents 
total emissions, and the degree to which it represents the combustion 
situation in the firebox. The location should be as free from in-leakage 
influences as possible and reasonably free from severe flow 
disturbances. The sample location should be at least two equivalent duct 
diameters downstream from the nearest control device, point of pollutant 
generation, or other point at which a change in the pollutant 
concentration or emission rate occurs and at least 0.5 diameter upstream 
from the exhaust or control device. The equivalent duct diameter is 
calculated as per 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, method 1, section 2.1. If 
these criteria are not achievable or if the location is otherwise less 
than optimum, the possibility of stratification should be checked as 
described in Section 2.1.3.3 to determine whether the location would 
cause failure of the relative accuracy test.
    2.1.3.1.1  For extractive or point in-situ CEMSs, the measurement 
point should be within or centrally located over the centroidal area of 
the stack or duct cross section.
    2.1.3.1.2  For cross-stack CEMSs, the effective measurement path 
should (1) have at least 70 percent of the path within the inner 50 
percent of the stack or duct cross-sectional area or (2) be centrally 
located over any part of the centroidal area.
    2.1.3.1.3  Both the CO and O2 monitors should be 
installed at the same general location. If this is not possible, they 
may be installed at different locations if the effluent gases at both 
sample locations are not stratified and there is no in-leakage of air 
between sampling locations.
    2.1.3.2  Performance Test Method (PTM) Measurement Location and 
Traverse Points.
    2.1.3.2.1  Select an accessible PTM measurement point at least two 
equivalent diameters downstream from the nearest control device, the 
point of CO generation, or other point at which a change in the CO 
concentration may occur, and at least a half equivalent diameter 
upstream from the effluent exhaust or control device. When pollutant 
concentration changes are due solely to diluent leakage (e.g., air 
heater leakages) and CO and O2 are simultaneously measured at 
the same location, one half diameter may be used in place of two 
equivalent diameters. The CEMS and PTM locations need not be the same.
    2.1.3.2.2  Select traverse points that ensure acquisition of 
representative samples over the stack or duct cross section. At a 
minimum, establish a measurement line that passes through the centroidal 
area in the direction of any expected stratification. If this line 
interferes with the CEMS measurements, displace the line up to 30 cm (or 
5 percent of the equivalent diameter of the cross section, whichever is 
less) from the centroidal area. Locate three traverse points at 17, 50, 
and 83 percent of the measurement line. If the measurement line is no 
longer than 2.4 meters and pollutant stratification is not expected, the 
tester may choose to locate the three traverse points on the line at 
0.4, 1.2, and 2.0 meters from the stack or duct wall. This option must 
not be used at a site located within eight equivalent diameters 
downstream of a flow disturbance. The tester may select other traverse 
points, provided that they can be shown to the satisfaction of the 
Administrator to provide a representative sample over the stack or duct 
cross-section. Conduct all necessary PTM tests within

[[Page 65]]

3 cm of the selected traverse points. Sampling must not be performed 
within 3 cm of the duct or stack inner wall.
    2.1.3.3  Stratification Test Procedure. Stratification is defined as 
a difference in excess of 10 percent between the average concentration 
in the duct or stack and the concentration at any point more than 1.0 
meter from the duct or stack wall. To determine whether effluent 
stratification exists, a dual probe system should be used to determine 
the average effluent concentration while measurements at each traverse 
point are being made. One probe, located at the stack or duct centroid, 
is used as a stationary reference point to indicate the change in 
effluent concentration over time. The second probe is used for sampling 
at the traverse points specified in method 1, appendix A, 40 CFR part 
60. The monitoring system samples sequentially at the reference and 
traverse points throughout the testing period for five minutes at each 
point.
    2.1.4  CEMS Performance and Equipment Specifications
    Table 2.1-1  summarizes the performance specifications for the 
CEMSs. Two sets of standards for CO are given; one for low-range and 
another for high-range measurements. The high-range specifications 
relate to measurement and quantification of short duration high 
concentration peaks, while the low-range specifications relate to the 
overall average operating condition of the burning device. The dual-
range specifications can be met by using (1) one analyzer for each 
range, (2) a dual range unit, or (3) a single measurement range 
instrument capable of meeting both specifications with a single unit. 
Adjustments cannot be made to the analyzer between determinations of 
low- and high-level accuracy within the single measurement range. In the 
second case, when the concentration exceeds the span of the lower range, 
the data acquisition system recorder shall switch to the high range 
automatically.
    2.1.4.1  CEMS Span Value. In order to measure high and low 
concentrations with the same or similar degree of accuracy, the maximum 
ranges (span values) are specified for low and high range analyzers. The 
span values are listed in Table 2.1-2. Tier I and Tier II format 
definitions are established in 40 CFR part 266, subpart H.

    2.1.4.2  Daily Calibration Gas Values. The owner or operator must 
choose calibration gas concentrations (or calibration filters for in-
situ systems) that include zero and high-level calibration values for 
the daily calibration checks. For a single measurement range monitor, 
three CO calibration gas concentrations (or calibration filters for in-
situ systems) shall be used, i.e., the zero and high-level 
concentrations of the low-range CO analyzer and the high-level 
concentration of the high-range CO analyzer.
    2.1.4.2.1  The zero level for the CO or O2 analyzer may 
be between zero and 20 percent of the span value, e.g., 0-40 ppm for 
low-range CO analyzer, 0-600 ppm for the high-range CO analyzer, and 0-5 
percent for the O2 analyzer (for Tier I).
    2.1.4.2.2  The high-level concentration for the CO or O2 
analyzer shall be between 50 and 90 percent of the span value, i.e., 
100-180 ppm for the low-range CO analyzer, 1500-2700 ppm for the high-
range CO analyzer, and 12.5-22.5 percent O2 for the 
O2 analyzer.
    2.1.4.3  Data Recorder Scale. The strip chart recorder, computer, or 
digital recorder must be capable of recording all readings within the 
CEMS's measurement range and shall have a resolution of 0.5 percent of 
span value, i.e., 1 ppm CO for low-range CO analyzer, 15 ppm CO for 
high-range CO analyzer, and 0.1 percent O2 for the 
O2 analyzer.
    2.1.4.4  Response Time. The response time for the CO or 
O2 monitor shall not exceed 2 minutes to achieve 95 percent 
of the final stable value.
    2.1.4.5  Calibration Drift. The CEMS must allow the determination of 
CD at the zero

[[Page 66]]

and high-level values. The CD must be determined separately for CO and 
O2 monitors in terms of concentration. The CO CEMS 
calibration response must not drift or deviate from the reference value 
of the calibration gas (or calibration filters for in-situ systems) by 
more than 3 percent of the span value after each 24-hour period of the 
7-day test, i.e., 6 ppm CO for the low-range analyzer (Tier I) and 90 
ppm for the high-range analyzer, at both zero and high levels. The 
O2 monitor calibration response must not drift or deviate 
from the reference value by more than 0.5 percent O2 at both 
zero and high levels.
    2.l.4.6  Relative Accuracy. The result of the PA test of the CO CEMS 
(which incorporates the O2 monitor) must be no greater than 
10 percent of the mean value of the PTM results or must be within 10 ppm 
CO of the PTM results, whichever is less restrictive. The ppm CO 
concentration shall be corrected to 7 percent O2 before 
calculating the RA.
    2.1.4.7  Calibration Error. The mean difference between the CEMS and 
reference values at all three test points (see Table 2.1-3) must be no 
greater than 5 percent of span value for CO monitors (i.e., 10 ppm CO 
for low range Tier I CO analyzers and 150 ppm CO for high range CO 
analyzers) and 0.5 percent for O2 analyzers.
    2.1.4.8  Measurement and Recording Frequency. The sample to be 
analyzed shall pass through the measurement section of the analyzer 
without interruption. The detector shall measure the sample 
concentration at least once every 15 seconds. An average emission rate 
shall be computed and recorded at least once every 60 seconds.
    2.1.4.9  Hourly Rolling Average Calculation. The CEMS shall 
calculate every minute an hourly rolling average, which is the 
arithmetic mean of the 60 most recent 1-minute average values.
    2.1.4.10  Retest. If the CEMS produces results within the specified 
criteria, the test is successful. If the CEMS does not meet one or more 
of the criteria, the necessary corrections must be made and the 
performance tests repeated.

                           2.1.5  Test Periods

    2.1.5.1  Pretest Preparation Period. Install the CEMS, prepare the 
PTM test site according to the specifications in section 2.1.3, and 
prepare the CEMS for operation and calibration according to the 
manufacturer's written instructions. A pretest conditioning period 
similar to that of the 7-day CD test is recommended to verify the 
operational status of the CEMS.
    2.1.5.2  Calibration Drift Test Period. While the facility is 
operating under normal conditions, determine the CD at 24-hour intervals 
for seven consecutive days according to the procedure given in section 
2.1.6.1. All CD determinations must be made following a 24-hour period 
during which no unscheduled maintenance, repair, or adjustment takes 
place. If the combustion unit is taken out of service during the test 
period, record the onset and duration of the downtime and continue the 
calibration drift test when the unit resumes operation.
    2.1.5.3  Relative Accuracy Test Period. Conduct the RA test 
according to the procedure in section 2.1.6.4 while the facility is 
operating under normal conditions. RA testing for CO and O2 
shall be conducted simultaneously so that the results can be calculated 
for CO corrected to 7 percent O2. The RA test shall be 
conducted during the CD test period. It is emphasized that during the CD 
test period, no adjustments or repairs may be made to the CEMS other 
than routine calibration adjustments performed immediately following the 
daily CD determination.
    2.1.5.4  Calibration Error Test and Response Time Test Periods. 
Conduct the CE and response time tests during the CD test period.

            2.1.6  Performance Specification Test Procedures

    2.1.6.1  Calibration Drift Test.
    2.1.6.1.1  Sampling Strategy. Conduct the CD test for all monitors 
at 24-hour intervals for seven consecutive days using calibration gases 
at the two (or three, if applicable) concentration levels specified in 
section 2.1.4.2. Introduce the calibration gases into the sampling 
system as close to the sampling probe outlet as practical. The gas shall 
pass through all filters, scrubbers, conditioners, and other CEMS 
components used during normal sampling. If periodic automatic or manual 
adjustments are made to the CEMS zero and calibration settings, conduct 
the CD test immediately before these adjustments, or conduct it in such 
a way that the CD can be determined. Record the CEMS response and 
subtract this value from the reference (calibration gas) value. To meet 
the specification, none of the differences shall exceed the limits 
specified in Table 2.1-1.
    2.1.6.1.2  Calculations. Summarize the results on a data sheet. An 
example is shown in Figure 2.1-1. Calculate the differences between the 
CEMS responses and the reference values.
    2.1.6.2  Response Time. Check the entire CEMS including sample 
extraction and transport, sample conditioning, gas analyses, and the 
data recording.
    2.1.6.2.1  Introduce zero gas into the system. For extractive 
systems, introduce the calibration gases at the probe as near to the 
sample location as possible. For in-situ system, introduce the zero gas 
at a point such that all components active in the analysis are tested. 
When the system output has stabilized (no change greater than 1 percent 
of full scale for 30 seconds), switch to monitor

[[Page 67]]

stack effluent and wait for a stable value. Record the time (upscale 
response time) required to reach 95 percent of the final stable value.
    2.1.6.2.2  Next, introduce a high-level calibration gas and repeat 
the above procedure. Repeat the entire procedure three times and 
determine the mean upscale and downscale response times. The longer of 
the two means is the system response time.
    2.1.6.3  Calibration Error Test Procedure.
    2.1.6.3.1  Sampling Strategy. Challenge each monitor (both low- and 
high-range CO and O2) with zero gas and EPA Protocol 1 
cylinder gases at three measurement points within the ranges specified 
in Table 2.1-3.

    2.1.6.3.1.1  If a single measurement range is used, the calibration 
gases used in the daily CD checks (if they are Protocol 1 cylinder gases 
and meet the criteria in section 2.1.6.3.1) may be used for determining 
CE.

[[Page 68]]

    2.1.6.3.1.2  Operate each monitor in its normal sampling mode as 
nearly as possible. The calibration gas shall be injected into the 
sample system as close to the sampling probe outlet as practical and 
should pass through all CEMS components used during normal sampling. 
Challenge the CEMS three non-consecutive times at each measurement point 
and record the responses. The duration of each gas injection should be 
sufficient to ensure that the CEMS surfaces are conditioned.
    2.1.6.3.2  Calculations. Summarize the results on a data sheet. An 
example data sheet is shown in Figure 2.1-2. Average the differences 
between the instrument response and the certified cylinder gas value for 
each gas. Calculate three CE results (five CE results for a single-range 
CO CEMS) according to Equation 5 (section 2.1.7.5). No confidence 
coefficient is used in CE calculations.
    2.1.6.4  Relative Accuracy Test Procedure.
    2.1.6.4.1  Sampling Strategy for PTM tests. Conduct the PTM tests in 
such a way that they will yield measurements representative of the 
emissions from the source and can be correlated to the CEMS data. 
Although it is preferable to conduct the CO, diluent, and moisture (if 
needed) simultaneously, moisture measurements that are taken within a 
60-minute period which includes the simultaneous CO and O2 
measurements may be used to calculate the dry CO concentration.
    Note: At times, CEMS RA tests may be conducted during incinerator 
performance tests. In these cases, PTM results obtained during CEMS RA 
tests may be used to determine compliance with incinerator emissions 
limits as long as the source and test conditions are consistent with the 
applicable regulations.

              Figure 2.1-2  Calibration Error Determination

    2.1.6.4.2  Performance Test Methods.
    2.1.6.4.2.1  Unless otherwise specified in the regulations, method 3 
or 3A and method 10, 10A, or 10B (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) are the 
test methods for O2 and CO, respectively. Make a sample 
traverse of at least 21 minutes, sampling for 7 minutes at each of three 
traverse points (see section 3.2).
    2.1.6.4.2.2  When the installed CEMS uses a nondispersive infrared 
(NDIR) analyzer, method 10 shall use the alternative interference trap 
specified in section 10.1 of the method. An option, which may be 
approved by the Administrator in certain cases, would allow the test to 
be conducted using method 10 without the interference trap. Under this 
option, a laboratory interference test is performed for the analyzer 
prior to the field test. The laboratory interference test includes the 
analysis of SO2, NO, and CO2 calibration gases 
over the range of expected effluent concentrations. Acceptable 
performance is indicated if the CO analyzer response to each of the 
gases is less than 1 percent of the applicable measurement range of the 
analyzer.
    2.1.6.4.3  Number of PTM Tests. Conduct a minimum of nine sets of 
all necessary PTM tests. If more than nine sets are conducted, a maximum 
of three sets may be rejected at the tester's discretion. The total 
number of sets used to determine the RA must be greater than or equal to 
nine. All data, including the rejected data, must be reported.
    2.1.6.4.4  Correlation of PTM and CEMS Data. The time and duration 
of each PTM test run and the CEMS response time should be considered in 
correlating the data. Use the CEMS final output (the one used for 
reporting) to determine an integrated average CO concentration for each 
PTM test run. Confirm that the pair of results are on a consistent 
moisture and O2 concentration basis. Each integrated CEMS 
value should then be compared against the corresponding average PTM 
value. If the CO concentration measured by the CEMS is normalized to a 
specified diluent concentration, the PTM results shall be normalized to 
the same value.
    2.1.6.4.5  Calculations. Summarize the results on a data sheet. 
Calculate the mean of the PTM values and calculate the arithmetic 
differences between the PTM and the CEMS data sets. The mean of the 
differences, standard deviation, confidence coefficient, and CEMS RA 
should be calculated using Equations 1 through 4.

    At a minimum, summarize in tabular form the results of the CD, RA, 
response time, and CE test, as appropriate. Include all data sheets, 
calculations, CEMS data records, and cylinder gas or reference material 
certifications.

                      2.1.9  Alternative Procedure

    2.1.9.1  Alternative RA Procedure Rationale. Under some operating 
conditions, it may not be possible to obtain meaningful results using 
the RA test procedure. This includes conditions where consistent, very 
low CO emissions or low CO emissions interrupted periodically by short 
duration, high level spikes are observed. It may be appropriate in these 
circumstances to waive the PTM RA test and substitute the following 
procedure.
    2.1.9.2  Alternative RA Procedure. Conduct a complete CEMS status 
check following the manufacturer's written instructions. The check 
should include operation of the light source, signal receiver, timing 
mechanism functions, data acquisition and data reduction functions, data 
recorders, mechanically operated functions (mirror movements, 
calibration gas valve operations, etc.), sample filters, sample line 
heaters, moisture traps, and other related functions of the CEMS, as 
applicable. All parts of the CEMS must be functioning properly before 
the RA requirement can be waived. The instruments must also have 
successfully passed the CE and CD requirements of the performance 
specifications. Substitution of the alternative procedure requires 
approval of the Regional Administrator.

                     2.1.10  Quality Assurance (QA)

    Proper calibration, maintenance, and operation of the CEMS is the 
responsibility of the owner or operator. The owner or operator must 
establish a QA program to evaluate and monitor CEMS performance. As a 
minimum, the QA program must include:
    2.1.10.1  A daily calibration check for each monitor. The 
calibration must be adjusted if the check indicates the instrument's CD 
exceeds the specification established in section 2.1.4.5. The gases 
shall be injected as close to the probe as possible to provide a check 
of the entire sampling system. If an alternative calibration procedure 
is desired (e.g., direct injections or gas cells), subject to 
Administrator approval, the adequacy of this alternative procedure may 
be demonstrated during the initial 7-day CD test. Periodic comparisons 
of the two procedures are suggested.
    2.1.10.2  A daily system audit. The audit must include a review of 
the calibration check data, an inspection of the recording system, an 
inspection of the control panel warning lights, and an inspection of the 
sample transport and interface system (e.g., flowmeters, filters), as 
appropriate.
    2.1.10.3  A quarterly calibration error (CE) test. Quarterly RA 
tests may be substituted for the CE test when approved by the Director 
on a case-by-case basis.
    2.1.10.4  An annual performance specification test.

 2.2  Performance Specifications for Continuous Emission Monitoring of 
Hydrocarbons for Incinerators, Boilers, and Industrial Furnaces Burning 
                             Hazardous Waste

                   2.2.1  Applicability and Principle

    2.2.1.1  Applicability. These performance specifications apply to 
hydrocarbon (HC) continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMSs) 
installed on incinerators, boilers, and industrial furnaces burning 
hazardous waste. The specifications include procedures which are 
intended to be used to evaluate the acceptability of the CEMS at the 
time of its installation or whenever specified in regulations or 
permits. The procedures are not

[[Page 71]]

designed to evaluate CEMS performance over an extended period of time. 
The source owner or operator is responsible for the proper calibration, 
maintenance, and operation of the CEMS at all times.
    2.2.1.2  Principle. A gas sample is extracted from the source 
through a heated sample line and heated filter (except as provided by 
section 2.2.10) to a flame ionization detector (FID). Results are 
reported as volume concentration equivalents of propane. Installation 
and measurement location specifications, performance and equipment 
specifications, test and data reduction procedures, and brief quality 
assurance guidelines are included in the specifications. Calibration 
drift, calibration error, and response time tests are conducted to 
determine conformance of the CEMS with the specifications.

                           2.2.2  Definitions

    2.2.2.1  Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS). The total 
equipment used to acquire data, which includes sample extraction and 
transport hardware, analyzer, data recording and processing hardware, 
and software. The system consists of the following major subsystems:
    2.2.2.1.1  Sample Interface. That portion of the system that is used 
for one or more of the following: Sample acquisition, sample 
transportation, sample conditioning, or protection of the analyzer from 
the effects of the stack effluent.
    2.2.2.1.2  Organic Analyzer. That portion of the system that senses 
organic concentration and generates an output proportional to the gas 
concentration.
    2.2.2.1.3  Data Recorder. That portion of the system that records a 
permanent record of the measurement values. The data recorder may 
include automatic data reduction capabilities.
    2.2.2.2  Instrument Measurement Range. The difference between the 
minimum and maximum concentration that can be measured by a specific 
instrument. The minimum is often stated or assumed to be zero and the 
range expressed only as the maximum.
    2.2.2.3  Span or Span Value. Full scale instrument measurement 
range.
    2.2.2.4  Calibration Gas. A known concentration of a gas in an 
appropriate diluent gas.
    2.2.2.5  Calibration Drift (CD). The difference in the CEMS output 
readings from the established reference value after a stated period of 
operation during which no unscheduled maintenance, repair, or adjustment 
takes place. A CD test is performed to demonstrate the stability of the 
CEMS calibration over time.
    2.2.2.6  Response Time. The time interval between the start of a 
step change in the system input (e.g., change of calibration gas) and 
the time when the data recorder displays 95 percent of the final value.
    2.2.2.7  Accuracy. A measurement of agreement between a measured 
value and an accepted or true value, expressed as the percentage 
difference between the true and measured values relative to the true 
value. For these performance specifications, accuracy is checked by 
conducting a calibration error (CE) test.
    2.2.2.8  Calibration Error (CE). The difference between the 
concentration indicated by the CEMS and the known concentration of the 
cylinder gas. A CE test procedure is performed to document the accuracy 
and linearity of the monitoring equipment over the entire measurement 
range.
    2.2.2.9  Performance Specification Test (PST) Period. The period 
during which CD, CE, and response time tests are conducted.
    2.2.2.10  Centroidal Area. A concentric area that is geometrically 
similar to the stack or duct cross section and is no greater than 1 
percent of the stack or duct cross-sectional area.

       2.2.3  Installation and Measurement Location Specifications

    2.2.3.1  CEMS Installation and Measurement Locations. The CEMS shall 
be installed in a location in which measurements representative of the 
source's emissions can be obtained. The optimum location of the sample 
interface for the CEMS is determined by a number of factors, including 
ease of access for calibration and maintenance, the degree to which 
sample conditioning will be required, the degree to which it represents 
total emissions, and the degree to which it represents the combustion 
situation in the firebox. The location should be as free from in-leakage 
influences as possible and reasonably free from severe flow 
disturbances. The sample location should be at least two equivalent duct 
diameters downstream from the nearest control device, point of pollutant 
generation, or other point at which a change in the pollutant 
concentration or emission rate occurs and at least 0.5 diameter upstream 
from the exhaust or control device. The equivalent duct diameter is 
calculated as per 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, method 1, section 2.1. If 
these criteria are not achievable or if the location is otherwise less 
than optimum, the possibility of stratification should be investigated 
as described in section 2.2.3.2. The measurement point shall be within 
the centroidal area of the stack or duct cross section.
    2.2.3.2  Stratification Test Procedure. Stratification is defined as 
a difference in excess of 10 percent between the average concentration 
in the duct or stack and the concentration at any point more than 1.0 
meter from the duct or stack wall. To determine whether effluent 
stratification exists, a dual probe system should be used to determine

[[Page 72]]

the average effluent concentration while measurements at each traverse 
point are being made. One probe, located at the stack or duct centroid, 
is used as a stationary reference point to indicate the change in 
effluent concentration over time. The second probe is used for sampling 
at the traverse points specified in 40 CFR part 60 appendix A, method 1. 
The monitoring system samples sequentially at the reference and traverse 
points throughout the testing period for five minutes at each point.
    2.2.4  CEMS Performance and Equipment Specifications
    If this method is applied in highly explosive areas, caution and 
care shall be exercised in choice of equipment and installation.
    2.2.4.1  Flame Ionization Detector (FID) Analyzer. A heated FID 
analyzer capable of meeting or exceeding the requirements of these 
specifications. Heated systems shall maintain the temperature of the 
sample gas between 150  deg.C (300  deg.F) and 175  deg.C (350  deg.F) 
throughout the system. This requires all system components such as the 
probe, calibration valve, filter, sample lines, pump, and the FID to be 
kept heated at all times such that no moisture is condensed out of the 
system.
    Note: As specified in the regulations, unheated HC CEMs may be 
considered an acceptable interim alternative monitoring technique. For 
additional notes, see section 2.2.10. The essential components of the 
measurement system are described below:
    2.2.4.1.1  Sample Probe. Stainless steel, or equivalent, to collect 
a gas sample from the centroidal area of the stack cross-section.
    2.2.4.1.2  Sample Line. Stainless steel or Teflon tubing to 
transport the sample to the analyzer.
    Note: Mention of trade names or specific products does not 
constitute endorsement by the Environmental Protection Agency.
    2.2.4.1.3  Calibration Valve Assembly. A heated three-way valve 
assembly to direct the zero and calibration gases to the analyzer is 
recommended. Other methods, such as quick-connect lines, to route 
calibration gas to the analyzers are applicable.
    2.2.4.1.4  Particulate Filter. An in-stack or out-of-stack sintered 
stainless steel filter is recommended if exhaust gas particulate loading 
is significant. An out-of-stack filter must be heated.
    2.2.4.1.5  Fuel. The fuel specified by the manufacturer (e.g., 40 
percent hydrogen/60 percent helium, 40 percent hydrogen/60 percent 
nitrogen gas mixtures, or pure hydrogen) should be used.
    2.2.4.1.6  Zero Gas. High purity air with less than 0.1 parts per 
million by volume (ppm) HC as methane or carbon equivalent or less than 
0.1 percent of the span value, whichever is greater.
    2.2.4.1.7  Calibration Gases. Appropriate concentrations of propane 
gas (in air or nitrogen). Preparation of the calibration gases should be 
done according to the procedures in EPA Protocol 1. In addition, the 
manufacturer of the cylinder gas should provide a recommended shelf life 
for each calibration gas cylinder over which the concentration does not 
change by more than 2 percent from the certified value.
    2.2.4.2  CEMS Span Value. 100 ppm propane.
    2.2.4.3  Daily Calibration Gas Values. The owner or operator must 
choose calibration gas concentrations that include zero and high-level 
calibration values.
    2.2.4.3.1  The zero level may be between 0 and 20 ppm (zero and 20 
percent of the span value).
    2.2.4.3.2  The high-level concentration shall be between 50 and 90 
ppm (50 and 90 percent of the span value).
    2.2.4.4  Data Recorder Scale. The strip chart recorder, computer, or 
digital recorder must be capable of recording all readings within the 
CEMS's measurement range and shall have a resolution of 0.5 ppm (0.5 
percent of span value).
    2.2.4.5  Response Time. The response time for the CEMS must not 
exceed 2 minutes to achieve 95 percent of the final stable value.
    2.2.4.6  Calibration Drift. The CEMS must allow the determination of 
CD at the zero and high-level values. The CEMS calibration response must 
not differ by more than 3 ppm (3 percent of the 
span value) after each 24-hour period of the 7-day test at both zero and 
high levels.
    2.2.4.7  Calibration Error. The mean difference between the CEMS and 
reference values at all three test points listed below shall be no 
greater than 5 ppm (5 percent of the span value).
    2.2.4.7.1  Zero Level. Zero to 20 ppm (0 to 20 percent of span 
value).
    2.2.4.7.2  Mid-Level. 30 to 40 ppm (30 to 40 percent of span value).
    2.2.4.7.3  High-Level. 70 to 80 ppm (70 to 80 percent of span 
value).
    2.2.4.8  Measurement and Recording Frequency. The sample to be 
analyzed shall pass through the measurement section of the analyzer 
without interruption. The detector shall measure the sample 
concentration at least once every 15 seconds. An average emission rate 
shall be computed and recorded at least once every 60 seconds.
    2.2.4.9  Hourly Rolling Average Calculation. The CEMS shall 
calculate every minute an hourly rolling average, which is the 
arithmetic mean of the 60 most recent 1-minute average values.
    2.2.4.10  Retest. If the CEMS produces results within the specified 
criteria, the test is successful. If the CEMS does not meet one or more 
of the criteria, necessary corrections

[[Page 73]]

must be made and the performance tests repeated.
    2.2.5  Performance Specification Test (PST) Periods
    2.2.5.1  Pretest Preparation Period. Install the CEMS, prepare the 
PTM test site according to the specifications in section 2.2.3, and 
prepare the CEMS for operation and calibration according to the 
manufacturer's written instructions. A pretest conditioning period 
similar to that of the 7-day CD test is recommended to verify the 
operational status of the CEMS.
    2.2.5.2  Calibration Drift Test Period. While the facility is 
operating under normal conditions, determine the magnitude of the CD at 
24-hour intervals for seven consecutive days according to the procedure 
given in section 2.2.6.1. All CD determinations must be made following a 
24-hour period during which no unscheduled maintenance, repair, or 
adjustment takes place. If the combustion unit is taken out of service 
during the test period, record the onset and duration of the downtime 
and continue the CD test when the unit resumes operation.
    2.2.5.3  Calibration Error Test and Response Time Test Periods. 
Conduct the CE and response time tests during the CD test period.
    2.2.6  Performance Specification Test Procedures
    2.2.6.1  Calibration Drift Test.
    2.2.6.1.1  Sampling Strategy. Conduct the CD test at 24-hour 
intervals for seven consecutive days using calibration gases at the two 
daily concentration levels specified in section 2.2.4.3. Introduce the 
two calibration gases into the sampling system as close to the sampling 
probe outlet as practical. The gas shall pass through all CEM components 
used during normal sampling. If periodic automatic or manual adjustments 
are made to the CEMS zero and calibration settings, conduct the CD test 
immediately before these adjustments, or conduct it in such a way that 
the CD can be determined. Record the CEMS response and subtract this 
value from the reference (calibration gas) value. To meet the 
specification, none of the differences shall exceed 3 ppm.
    2.2.6.1.2  Calculations. Summarize the results on a data sheet. An 
example is shown in Figure 2.2-1. Calculate the differences between the 
CEMS responses and the reference values.
    2.2.6.2  Response Time. The entire system including sample 
extraction and transport, sample conditioning, gas analyses, and the 
data recording is checked with this procedure.
    2.2.6.2.1  Introduce the calibration gases at the probe as near to 
the sample location as possible. Introduce the zero gas into the system. 
When the system output has stabilized (no change greater than 1 percent 
of full scale for 30 sec), switch to monitor stack effluent and wait for 
a stable value. Record the time (upscale response time) required to 
reach 95 percent of the final stable value.
    2.2.6.2.2  Next, introduce a high-level calibration gas and repeat 
the above procedure. Repeat the entire procedure three times and 
determine the mean upscale and downscale response times. The longer of 
the two means is the system response time.
    2.2.6.3  Calibration Error Test Procedure.
    2.2.6.3.1  Sampling Strategy. Challenge the CEMS with zero gas and 
EPA Protocol 1 cylinder gases at measurement points within the ranges 
specified in section 2.2.4.7.
    2.2.6.3.1.1  The daily calibration gases, if Protocol 1, may be used 
for this test.

                      2.2.9  Quality Assurance (QA)

    Proper calibration, maintenance, and operation of the CEMS is the 
responsibility of the owner or operator. The owner or operator must 
establish a QA program to evaluate and monitor CEMS performance. As a 
minimum, the QA program must include:
    2.2.9.1  A daily calibration check for each monitor. The calibration 
must be adjusted if the check indicates the instrument's CD exceeds 3 
ppm. The gases shall be injected as close to the probe as possible to 
provide a check of the entire sampling system. If an alternative 
calibration procedure is desired (e.g., direct injections or gas cells), 
subject to Administrator approval, the adequacy of this alternative 
procedure may be demonstrated during the initial 7-day CD test. Periodic 
comparisons of the two procedures are suggested.
    2.2.9.2  A daily system audit. The audit must include a review of 
the calibration

[[Page 77]]

check data, an inspection of the recording system, an inspection of the 
control panel warning lights, and an inspection of the sample transport 
and interface system (e.g., flowmeters, filters), as appropriate.
    2.2.9.3  A quarterly CE test. Quarterly RA tests may be substituted 
for the CE test when approved by the Director on a case-by-case basis.
    2.2.9.4  An annual performance specification test.

                2.2.10  Alternative Measurement Technique

    The regulations allow gas conditioning systems to be used In 
conjunction with unheated HC CEMs during an interim period. This gas 
conditioning may include cooling to not less than 40  deg. F and the use 
of condensate traps to reduce the moisture content of sample gas 
entering the FID to less than 2 percent. The gas conditioning system, 
however, must not allow the sample gas to bubble through the condensate 
as this would remove water soluble organic compounds. All components 
upstream of the conditioning system should be heated as described in 
section 2.2.4 to minimize operating and maintenance problems.

Chemical Methods,'' EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference 
in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter.

   Section 4.0  Procedure for Estimating the Toxicity Equivalence of 
         Chlorinated Dibenco-P-Dioxin and Dibenzofuran Congeners

    PCDDs and PCDFs must be determined using the method given in section 
3.4 of this document. In this method, individual congeners or homologues 
\1\ are measured and then summed to yield a total PCDD/PCDF value. No 
toxicity factors are specified in the method to compute risks from such 
emissions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The term ``congener'' refers to any one particular member of the 
same chemical family; e.g., there are 75 congeners of chlorinated 
dibenzo-p-dioxins. The term ``homologue'' refers to a group of 
structurally related chemicals that have the same degree of 
chlorination. For example, there are eight homologues of CDs, 
monochlorinated through octachlorinated. Dibenzo-p-dioxins and 
dibenzofurans that are chlorinated at the 2,3,7, and 8 positions are 
denoted as ``2378'' congeners, except when 2,3,7,8-TCDD is uniquely 
referred to: e.g., 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDF and 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF are both referred 
to as ``2378-PeCDFs.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the purpose of estimating risks posed by emissions from boilers 
and industrial furnaces, however, specific congeners and homologues must 
be measured using the specified method and then multiplied by the 
assigned toxicity equivalence factors (TEFs), using procedures described 
in ``Interim Procedures for Estimating Risks Associated with Exposures 
to Mixtures of Chlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and Dibenzofurans (CDDs and 
CDFs) and 1989 Update,'' EPA/625/3-89/016, March 1989. The resulting 
2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalents value is used in the subsequent risk 
calculations and modeling efforts as discussed in the BIF final rule.
    The procedure for calculating the 2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalent is as 
follows:
    1. Using method 23, determine the concentrations of 2,7,3,8-
congeners of various PCDDs and PCDFs in the sample.
    2. Multiply the congener concentrations in the sample by the TEF 
listed in Table 4.0-1 to express the congener concentrations in terms of 
2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalent. Note that congeners not chlorinated at 2,3,7, 
and 8 positions have a zero toxicity factor in this table.
    3. Add the products obtained in step 2, to obtain the total 2,3,7,8-
TCDD equivalent in the sample.
    Sample calculations are provided in EPA document No. EPA/625/3-89/
016, March 1989, which can be obtained from the EPA, ORD Publications 
Office, Cincinnati, Ohio (Phone no. 513-569-7562).

 Section 5.0  Hazardous Waste Combustion Air Quality Screening Procedure

    The HWCAQSP is a combined calculation/reference table approach for 
conservatively estimating short-term and annual average facility impacts 
for stack emissions. The procedure is based on extensive short-term 
modeling of 11 generic source types and on a set of adjustment factors 
for estimating annual average concentrations from short-term 
concentrations. Facility impacts may be determined based on the selected 
worst-case stack or on multiple stacks, in which the impacts from each 
stack are estimated separately and then added to produce the total 
facility impact.
    This procedure is most useful for facilities with multiple stacks, 
large source-to-property boundary distances, and complex terrain between 
1 and 5 km from the facility. To ensure a sufficient degree of 
conservatism, the HWCAQSP may not be used if any of the five screening 
procedure limitations listed below are true:
     The facility is located in a narrow valley less than 1 km 
wide;
     The facility has a stack taller than 20 m and is located 
such that the terrain rises to the stack height within 1 km of the 
facility;
     The facility has a stack taller than 20 m and is located 
within 5 km of the shoreline of a large body of water;
     The facility property line is within 200 m of the stack and 
the physical stack height is less than 10 m; or
     On-site receptors are of concern, and stack height is less 
than 10 m.
    If any of these criteria are met or the Director determines that 
this procedure is not appropriate, then detailed site-specific modeling 
or modeling using the ``Screening Procedures for Estimating the Air 
Quality Impact of Stationary Sources,'' EPA -450/4-88-010, Office of Air 
Quality Planning and Standards, August 1988, is required. Detailed site-
specific dispersion modeling must conform to the EPA ``Guidance on Air 
Quality Models (Revised)'', EPA 450/2-78-027R, Office of Air Quality 
Planning and Standards, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, July 
1986. This document provides guidance on both the proper selection and 
regulatory application of air quality models.

                              Introduction

    The Hazardous Waste Combustion Air Quality Screening Procedure 
(HWCAQSP) (also referred to hereafter as ``the screening procedure'' or 
``the procedure'') provides a quick, easy method for estimating maximum 
(hourly) and annual average ambient air impacts associated with the 
combustion of hazardous waste. The methodology is conservative in nature 
and estimates dispersion coefficients \1\ based on facility-specific 
information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The term dispersion coefficient refers to the change in ambient 
air concentration (g/m\3\) resulting from a source with an 
emission rate of 1 g/sec.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The screening procedure can be used to determine emissions limits at 
sites where the nearest meteorological (STAR) station is not 
representative of the meteorology at the site. If the screen shows that 
emissions from the site are adequately protective, then the need to 
collect site-specific meteorological data can be eliminated.
    The screening procedure is generally most helpful for facilities 
meeting one or more of the following conditions:
     Multiple stacks with substantially different release 
specifications (e.g., stack heights differ by >50 percent, exit 
temperatures differ by >50  deg.K, or the exit flow rates differ by more 
than a factor of 2),
     Terrain located between 1 km and 5 km from the site 
increases in elevation by more than the physical height of the shortest 
stack (i.e., the facility is located in complex terrain), or
     Significant distance between the facility's stacks and the 
site boundary [guidance on determining whether a distance is 
``significant'' is provided in Step 6(B) of the procedure].
    Steps 1 through 9 of the screening procedure present a simplified 
method for determining emissions based on the use of the ``worst-case'' 
stack. If the simplified method shows that desired feed rates result in 
emissions that exceed allowable limits for one or more pollutants, a 
refined analysis to examine the emissions from each stack can be 
conducted. This multiple-stack method is presented in Step 10.

[[Page 79]]

    The steps involved in screening methodology are as follows:

Step 1. Define Source Characteristics
Step 2. Determine the Applicability of the Screening Procedure
Step 3. Select the Worst-Case Stack
Step 4. Verify Good Engineering Practice (GEP) Criteria
Step 5. Determine the Effective Stack Height and Terrain-Adjusted 
Effective Stack Height
Step 6. Classify the Site as Urban or Rural
Step 7. Determine Maximum Dispersion Coefficients
Step 8. Estimate Maximum Ambient Air Concentrations
Step 9. Determine Compliance With Regulatory Limits
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Worksheet space is provided for three stacks. If the facility 
has additional stacks, copy the form and revise stack identification 
numbers for 4, 5, etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 10. Multiple Stack Method

                  Step 1: Define Source Characteristics

    Provide the following source data: \2\

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                       Stack No.   Stack No.   Stack No.
             Stack Data:                   1           2           3
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Physical stack height (m)...........   ________    ________    ________
Exhaust temperature ( deg.K)........   ________    ________    ________
Flow rate (m\3\/sec)................   ________    ________    ________
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                       Nearby Building Dimensions

    Consider all buildings within five building heights or five maximum 
projected widths of the stack(s). For the building with the greatest 
height, fill in the spaces below.
Building Height (m)_____________________________________________________
Maximum projected building width (m)____________________________________

                           Nearby Terrain Data

    Determine maximum terrain rise for the following three distance 
ranges from the facility (not required if the highest stack is less than 
10 m in height):

      ________(m)              ________(m)              ________(m)
        0-0.5 km                 0-2.5 km                 0-5 km
 

Distance from facility to nearest shoreline (km)________________________
Valley width (km)_______________________________________________________

     Step 2: Determine the Applicability of the Screening Procedure

    Fill in the following data:

 
                                                       Yes         No
 
Is the facility in a valley < km in width?........     ______     ______
Is the terrain rise within 1 km of the facility        ______     ______
 greater than the physical stack height of the
 tallest stack? (Only applies to stacks 20 meters in height)..........................
Is the distance to the nearest shoreline <5 km?        ______     ______
 (Only applies to facilities with stacks 20 meters in height)..........................
For the building listed in Step 1, is the closest      ______     ______
 property boundary <5 times the building height or
 <5 times the maximum projected building width?
 (Only applies to facilities with a stack height
 <2.5 times the building height)..................
 

    If the answer is ``no'' to all the preceding questions, then the 
HWCAQSP is acceptable. If the answer to any question is ``yes'', the 
procedure is not acceptable.

                   Step 3: Select the Worst-Case Stack

    If the facility has several stacks, a worst-case stack must be 
chosen to conservatively represent release conditions at the facility. 
Follow the steps below to identify the worst-case stack.
    Apply the following equation to each stack:
K=HVT

where:

K=an arbitrary parameter accounting for the relative influence of the 
          stack height and plume rise.
H=Physical stack height (m)
V=Flow rate (m\3\/sec)
T=Exhaust temperature ( deg.K)
    Complete the following table to compute the ``K'' value for each 
stack:

[[Page 80]]



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Stack No.                       Stack height (m)            x          Flow rate (m\3\/sec)          x           Exit temp ( deg.K)           =                    K
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1..................................     __________________________       x       __________________________       x       __________________________       =         ______________________
2..................................     __________________________       x       __________________________       x       __________________________       =         ______________________
3..................................     __________________________       x       __________________________       x       __________________________       =         ______________________
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[[Page 81]]

    Select the stack with the lowest ``K'' value. This is the worst-case 
stack that will be used for Steps 4 through 9.

    Worst-Case Stack is identified as Stack No. ______

         Step 4: Verify Good Engineering Practice (GEP) Criteria

    Confirm that the selected worst-case stack meets Good Engineering 
Practice (GEP) criteria. The stack height to be used in the subsequent 
steps of this procedure must not be greater than the maximum GEP. 
Maximum and minimum GEP stack heights are defined as follows:
CEP (minimum)=H+(1.5 x L)
GEP (maximum)=greater of 65 m or H+(1.5 x L)
where:

H=height of the building selected in Step 1 measured from ground level 
          elevation at the base of the stack
L=the lesser dimension of the height or projected width of the building 
          selected in Step 1
    Record the following data for the worst-case stack:
Stack height (m)=__________
H(m)=__________
L(m)=__________

    Then compute the following:
GEP (minimum) (m)=__________
GEP (maximum) (m)=__________

     If the physical height of the worst-case stack exceeds the 
maximum GEP, then use the maximum GEP stack height for the subsequent 
steps of this analysis;
     If the physical height of the worst-case stack is less than 
the minimum GEP, then use generic source number 11 as the selected 
source for further analysis and proceed directly to Step 6;
     If the physical height of the worst-case stack is between 
the minimum and maximum GEP, then use the actual physical stack height 
for the subsequent steps of this analysis.

 Step 5: Determine the Effective Stack Height and the Terrain-Adjusted 
                     Effective Stack Height (TAESH)

    The effective stack height is an important factor in dispersion 
modeling. The effective stack height is the physical height of the stack 
plus plume rise. As specified in Step 4, the stack height used to 
estimate the effective stack height must not exceed GEP requirements. 
Plume rise is a function of the stack exit gas temperature and flow 
rate.
    In this analysis, the effective stack height is used to select the 
generic source that represents the dispersion characteristics of the 
facility. For facilities located in flat terrain and for all facilities 
with worst-case stacks less than or equal to 10 meters in height, 
generic source numbers are selected strictly on the basis of effective 
stack height. In all other cases, the effective stack height is further 
adjusted to take into account the terrain rise near the facility. This 
``terrain-adjusted effective stack height'' (TAESH) is then used to 
select the generic source number that represents the dispersion 
characteristics of the facility. Follow the steps below to identify the 
effective stack height, the TAESH (where applicable), and the 
corresponding generic source number.
    (A) Go to Table 5.0-1 and find the plume rise value corresponding to 
the stack temperature and exit flow rate for the worst-case stack 
determined in Step 3.
Plume rise=________(m)
    (B) Add the plume rise to the GEP stack height of the worst-case 
stack determined in Steps 3 and 4.

 
                                                         Effective stack
     GEP stack height (m)       +   Plume rise (m)    =     height (m)
 
           ________             +      ________       =      ________
 

    (C) Go to the first column of Table 5.0-2 and identify the range of 
effective stack heights that includes the effective stack height 
estimated in Step 5(B). Record the generic source number that 
corresponds to this range.
Generic source number=__________
    (D) If the source is located in flat terrain \3\, or if the generic 
source number identified in Step 5(C) above is 1 or 11 (regardless of 
terrain classification), use the generic source number determined in 
Step 5(C) and proceed directly to Step 6. Otherwise, continue to Step 
5(E).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The terrain is considered flat and terrain adjustment factors 
are not used if the maximum terrain rise within 5 km of the facility 
(see Step 1) is less than 10 percent of the physical stack height of the 
worst-case stack.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (E) For those situations where the conditions in Step 5(D) do not 
apply, the effective stack height must be adjusted for terrain. The 
TAESH for each distance range is computed by subtracting the terrain 
rise within the distance range from the effective stack height.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Refer to Step 1 for terrain adjustment data. Note that the 
distance from the source to the outer radii of each range is used. For 
example, for the range >0.5-2.5 km, the maximum terrain rise in the 
range 0.0-2.5 km is used.

    Step 6: Classify the Site as Urban or Rural
    (A) Classify the land use near the facility as either urban or rural 
by determining the percentage of urban land use types (as defined in 
Table 3; for further guidance see the footnoted references) that fall 
within 3 km of the facility.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The delineation of urban and rural areas, can be difficult for 
the residential-type areas listed in Table 5.0-3. The degree of 
resolution in Table 5.0-3 for residential areas often cannot be 
identified without conducting site area inspections. This process can 
require extensive analysis, which, for many applications, can be greatly 
streamlined without sacrificing confidence in selecting the appropriate 
urban or rural classification. The fundamental simplifying assumption is 
based on the premise that many applications will have clear-cut urban/
rural designations, i.e., most will be in rural settings that can be 
definitively characterized through a review of aerial photographs, 
zoning maps, or U.S. Geological Survey topographical maps.

Method Used to Estimate Percent      Visual             Planimeter
 Urban Land Use:
                                     ______             ______

                                     ______             ______
 

    If the urban land use percentage is less than or equal to 30 percent 
based on a visual estimate, or 50 percent based on a planimeter, the 
local land use is considered rural. Otherwise, the local land use is 
considered urban.

    (B) Based on the TAESH and the urban/rural classification of 
surrounding land use, use the following table to determine the threshold 
distance between any stack and the nearest facility boundary.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Record the following information:
Threshold distance from the table
(m): ____
Minimum distance from any stack to property boundary (m): ____

    If the minimum distance between any stack and the nearest facility 
boundary is greater than the threshold distance, the surrounding buffer 
distance is considered significant and the facility is likely to benefit 
from use of the HWCAQSP relative to the Tier I and II limits (see 
discussion of benefits from using HWCAQSP in Introduction section).

            Step 7: Determine Maximum Dispersion Coefficients

    (A) Determine maximum average hourly dispersion coefficients. Based 
on the results of Step 6(A), select either Table 5.0-4 (urban) or Table 
5.0-5 (rural) to determine the maximum average hourly dispersion 
coefficient.\6\ For flat terrain [defined in Step 5(D)] and for all 
sites with generic source numbers 1 or 11, use Step 7(A) (1). For 
rolling or complex terrain (excluding generic sources numbers 1 and 11), 
use Step 7(A) (2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For the distance range 6 to 20 kilometers, generic source number 
1 is used to conservatively represent the maximum dispersion 
coefficient.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) Search down the appropriate generic source number column [based 
on Step 5(C)], beginning at the minimum fenceline distance listed in 
Step 6(B).\7\ Record the maximum average hourly dispersion coefficient 
encountered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Exclude all distances that are closer to the facility than the 
property boundary. For example, if the actual distance to the nearest 
property boundary is 265 meters, begin at the 300 meter distance in 
Tables 5.0-4 and 5.0-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maximum Average Hourly Dispersion Coefficient=____(g/m\3\/g/
          sec)
    (2) For each of the three distance-based generic source numbers 
listed in Step 5(E), search down the appropriate generic source number 
columns, beginning at the minimum

[[Page 84]]

fenceline distance listed in Step 6(B). Note that different columns may 
be used for each of the three distance ranges if there is a need for 
terrain adjustment. Record the maximum dispersion coefficient for each 
generic source number.

    (B) Determine annual/hourly ratio for rural analysis. The maximum 
average annual dispersion coefficient is approximated by multiplying the 
maximum hourly dispersion coefficient (identified in Step 7(A) by the 
appropriate ratio selection from Table 5.0-6. The generic source 
number(s) [from Steps 5(C) or 5(E)], urban/rural designation (from Step 
6), and the terrain type are used to select the appropriate scaling 
factor. Use the noncomplex terrain designation for all sources located 
in flat terrain, for all sources where the physical stack height of the 
worst-case stack is less than or equal to 10 m, for all sources where 
the worst-case stack is less than the minimum GEP, and for those sources 
where all of the TAESH values in Step 5(E) are greater than zero. Use 
the complex terrain designation in all other situations.
    (C) Determine maximum average annual dispersion coefficient. The

Step 8: Estimate Maximum Ambient Air Concentrations--see procedures 
          prescribed in subpart H of 40 CFR part 266.
Step 9: Determine Compliance with Regulatory Limits--see procedures 
          prescribed in subpart H of 40 CFR part 266.
Step 10: Multiple Stack Method (Optional)
    This option is a special case procedure that may be helpful when (1) 
the facility exceeded the regulatory limits for one or more pollutants, 
as detailed in Step 9, and (2) the facility has multiple stacks with 
substantially different emission rates and effective release heights. 
Only those pollutants that fail the Step 9 screening limits need to be 
addressed in this exercise.
    This procedure assesses the environmental impacts from each stack 
and then sums the results to estimate total impacts. This option is 
conceptually the same as the basic approach (Steps 1 through 9) and does 
not involve complex calculations. However, it is more time-consuming and 
is recommended only if the basic approach fails to meet the risk 
criteria. The procedure is outlined below.
    (A) Compute effective stack heights for each stack.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Follow the procedure outlined in Step 4 of the basic screening 
procedure to determine the GEP for each stack. If a stack's physical 
height exceeds the maximum GEP, use the maximum GEP values. If a stack's 
physical height is less than the minimum GEP, use generic source number 
11 in the subsequent steps of this analysis. Follow the procedure in 
Steps 5(A) and 5(B) to determine the effective height of each stack.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (B) Determine if this multiple-stack screening procedure will likely 
produce less conservative results than the procedure in Steps 1 through 
9. To do this, compute the ratio of maximum-to-minimum effective stack 
height:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.012


[[Page 89]]


    If the above ratio is greater than 1.25, proceed with the remaining 
steps. Otherwise, this option is less likely to significantly reduce the 
degree of conservatism in the screening method.
    (C) Determine if terrain adjustment is needed and select generic 
source numbers. Select the shortest stack height and maximum terrain 
rise out to 5 km from Step 1 and determine if the facility is in flat 
terrain.
Shortest stack height (m)=______________________________________________
Maximum terrain rise in meters out to 5 km=_____________________________
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.013

    If the value above is greater than 10 percent, the terrain is 
considered nonflat; proceed to Step 10(D). If the ratio is less than or 
equal to 10 percent, the terrain is considered flat. Identify the 
generic source numbers based on effective stack heights computed in Step 
10(A). Refer to Table 5.0-2 provided earlier to identify generic source 
numbers. Record the generic source numbers identified and proceed to 
Step 10(F).

    (D) Compute the TAESH and select generic source numbers (four 
sources located in nonflat terrain).
    1. Compute the TAESH for all remaining stacks using the following 
equation:
HE-TR=TAESH
where:
    HE=effective stack height (m)
    TR=maximum terrain rise for each distance range (m)
    TAESH=terrain-adjusted effective stack height (m)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ Refer to Step 1 for terrain adjustment data. Note that the distance from the source to the outer radii of
  each range is used. For example, for the range >0.5-2.5 km, the maximum terrain rise in the range 0.0-2.5 km
  is used.

    For those stacks where the terrain rise within a distance range is 
greater than the effective stack height (i.e., HE-TR is less than zero), 
the TAESH for that distance range is set equal to zero, and generic 
source number 1 should be used for that distance range for all 
subsequent distance ranges. Additionally, for all stacks with a physical 
stack height of less than or equal to 10 meters, use generic source 
number 1 for all distance ranges.\10\ For the remaining stacks, proceed 
to Step 10(D)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ This applies to all stacks less than or equal to 10 meters 
regardless of the terrain classification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. For the remaining stacks, refer to Table 5.0-2 and, for each 
distance range, identify the generic source number that includes the 
TAESH. Use the values obtained from Steps 10(D)(1) and 10(D)(2) to 
complete the following summary worksheet;

    (E) Identify maximum average hourly dispersion coefficients. Based 
on the land use classification of the site (e.g., urban or rural), use 
either Table 5.0-4 or Table 5.0-5 to determine the appropriate 
dispersion coefficient for each distance range for each stack. Begin at 
the minimum fenceline distance indicated in Step 7(B) and record on 
Worksheet 5.0-1 the dispersion coefficient for each stack/distance 
range. For stacks located in facilities in flat terrain, the generic 
source numbers were computed in Step 10(C). For stacks located in 
facilities in rolling and complex terrain, the generic source numbers 
were computed in Step 10(D). For flat terrain applications and for 
stacks with a physical height of less than or equal to 10 meters, only 
one generic source number is used per

[[Page 90]]

stack for all distance ranges. For other situations up to three generic 
source numbers may be needed per stack (i.e., a unique generic source 
number per distance range). In Tables 5.0-4 and 5.0-5, the dispersion 
coefficients for distances of 6 km to 20 km are the same for all generic 
source numbers in order to conservatively represent terrain beyond 5 km 
(past the limits of the terrain analysis).

    (F) Estimate maximum hourly ambient air concentrations. In this 
step, pollutant-specific emission rates are multiplied by appropriate 
dispersion coefficients to estimate ambient air concentrations. For each 
stack, emissions are multiplied by the dispersion coefficient selected 
in Step 10(E) and summed across all stacks to estimate ambient air 
concentrations at various distances from the facility. From these summed 
concentrations, the maximum hourly ambient air concentration is 
selected. First, select the maximum emission rate of the pollutant.\11\ 
Record these data in the spaces provided below.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Recall that it is recommended that this analysis be performed

should be those that show the most significant exceedances of the risk 
threshold.
    \12\ Refer to Step 8 of the basic screening procedure. At this point 
in the screening procedure, annual emissions are used to represent 
hourly average emission rates. These values will be adjusted by the 
annual/hourly ratio to estimate annual average concentrations.

Section 6.0--Simplified Land Use Classification Procedure for Compliance 
                     With Tier I and Tier II Limits

                            6.1  Introduction

    This section provides a simplified procedure to classify areas in 
the vicinity of boilers and industrial furnace sites as urban or rural 
in order to set risk-based emission limits under subpart H of 40 CFR 
part 266. Urban/rural classification is needed because dispersion rates 
differ between urban and rural areas and thus, the risk per unit 
emission rate differs accordingly. The combination of greater surface 
roughness (more buildings/structures to generate turbulent mixing) and 
the greater amount of heat released from the surface in an urban area 
(generates buoyancy-induced mixing) produces greater rates of 
dispersion. The emission limit tables in the regulation, therefore, 
distinguish between urban and rural areas.
    EPA guidance (EPA 1986) \1\ provides two alternative procedures to 
determine whether the character of an area is predominantly urban or 
rural. One procedure is based on land use typing and the other is based 
on population density. Both procedures require consideration of 
characteristics within a 3-km radius from a source, in this case the 
facility stack(s). The land use typing method is preferred because it 
more directly relates to the surface characteristics that affect 
dispersion rates. The remainder of this discussion is, therefore, 
focused on the land use method.
    While the land use method is more direct, it can also be labor-
intensive to apply. For this discussion, the land use method has been 
simplified so that it is consistent with EPA guidance (EPA 1986; Auer 
1978), while streamlining the process for the majority of applications 
so that a clear-cut decision can be made without the need for detailed 
analysis. Table 6.0-1 summarizes the simplified approach for classifying 
areas as urban or rural. As shown, the applicant always has the option 
of applying standard (i.e., more detailed) analyses to more accurately 
distinguish between urban and rural areas. However, the procedure 
presented here allows for simplified determinations, where appropriate, 
to expedite the permitting process.

                    6.2   Simplified Land Use Process

    The land use approach considers four primary land use types: 
industrial (I), commercial (C), residential (R), and agricultural (A). 
Within These primary classes, subclasses are identified, as shown in 
table 6.0-1. The goal is to estimate the percentage of the area within a 
3-km radius that is urban type and the percentage that is rural type. 
Industrial and commercial areas are classified as urban; agricultural 
areas are classified as rural.
    The delineation of urban and rural areas, however, can be more 
difficult for the residential type areas shown in table 6.0-1. The 
degree of resolution shown in table 6.0-1 for residential areas often 
cannot be identified without conducting site area inspections and/or 
referring to zoning maps. This process can require extensive analysis, 
which, for many applications, can be greatly streamlined without 
sacrificing confidence in selecting the appropriate urban or rural 
classification.
    The fundamental simplifying assumption is based on the premise that 
many applications will have clear-cut urban/rural designations, i.e., 
most will be in rural settings that can be definitively characterized 
through a brief review of topographical maps. The color coding on USGS 
topographical maps provides the most effective means of simplifying the 
typing scheme. The suggested typing designations for the color codes 
found on topographical maps are as follows:
Green  Wooded areas (rural).
White  White areas generally will be treated as rural. This code applies 
to areas that are unwooded and do not have densely packed structures 
which would require the pink code (house omission tint). Parks, 
industrial areas, and unforested rural land will appear as white on the 
topographical maps. Of these categories, only the industrial areas could 
potentially be classified

[[Page 97]]

as urban based on EPA 1986 or Auer 1978. Industrial areas can be easily 
identified in most cases by the characteristics shown in Figure 6.0-1. 
For this simplified procedure, white areas that have an industrial 
classification will be treated as urban areas.

 Section 7.0--Statistical Methodology for Bevill Residue Determinations

    This section describes the statistical comparison of waste-derived 
residue to normal residue for use in determining eligibility for the 
Bevill exemption under 40 CFR 266.112.

       7.1  Comparison of Waste-Derived Residue to Normal Residue

    To be eligible for the Bevill exclusion from the definition of 
hazardous waste under 40 CFR 266.112(b)(1), waste-derived residue must 
not contain Appendix VIII, Part 261, constituents that could reasonably 
be attributable to the hazardous waste (toxic constituents) at 
concentrations significantly higher than in residue generated without 
burning or processing hazardous waste (normal residue). Concentrations 
of toxic constituents in normal residue are determined based on analysis 
of a minimum of 10 samples representing a minimum of 10 days of 
operation. The statistically-derived concentrations in normal residue 
are determined as the upper tolerance limit (95% confidence with a 95% 
proportion of the sample distribution) of the normal residue 
concentrations. The upper tolerance limit is to be determined as 
described in Section 7.2 below. If changes in raw materials or fuels 
could lower the statistically-derived concentrations of toxic 
constituents of concern, the statistically-derived baseline must be re-
established for any such mode of operation with the new raw material or 
fuel.
    Concentrations of toxic constituents in waste-derived residue are 
determined based on the analysis of one or more samples collected over a 
compositing period of not more than 24 hours. Mulitple samples of the 
waste-derived residue may be analyzed or subsamples may be composited 
for analysis, provided that the sampling period does not exceed 24 
hours. If more than one sample is analyzed to characterize the waste-
derived residue generated over a 24-hour period, the arithmetic mean of 
the concentrations must be used as the waste-derived concentration for 
each constituent.
    The concentration of a toxic constituent in the waste-derived 
residue is not considered to be significantly higher than in the normal 
residue (i.e., the residue passes the Bevill test for that constituent) 
if the concentration in the waste-derived residue does not exceed the 
statistically-derived concentration.

              7.2  Calculation of the Upper Tolerance Limit

    The 95% confidence with 95% proportion of the sample distribution 
(upper tolerance limit) is calculated for a set of values assuming that 
the values are normally distributed. The upper tolerance limit is a one-
sided calculation and is an appropriate statistical test for cases in 
which a single value (the waste-derived residue concentration) is 
compared to the distribution of a range of values (the minimum of 10 
measurements of normal residue concentrations). The upper tolerance 
limit value is determined as follows:

    UTL = X + (K)(S)
where X = mean of the normal residue concentrations, X = X i/
          n,
K = coefficient for sample size n, 95% confidence and 95% proportion,
S = standard deviation of the normal residue concentrations,
S = ((Xi - X)\2\/(n - 1))\0\.\5\, and
n = sample size.
    The values of K at the 95% confidence and 95% proportion, and sample 
size n are given in Table 7.0-1.
    For example, a normal residue test results in 10 samples with the 
following analytical results for toxic constituent A:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                           Concentration
                       Sample No.                         of constituent
                                                              A (ppm)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.......................................................              10
2.......................................................              10
3.......................................................              15
4.......................................................              10
5.......................................................               7
6.......................................................              12
7.......................................................              10
8.......................................................              16
9.......................................................              15
10......................................................              10
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The mean and the standard deviation of these measurements, 
calculated using the above equations, are 11.5 and 2.9, respectively. 
Assuming that the values are normally distributed, the upper tolerance 
limit (UTL) is given by:

UTL=11.5+(2.911)(2.9)=19.9 ppm

    This, if the concentration of constituent A in the waste-derived 
residue is below 19.9 ppm, then the waste-derived residue is eligible 
for the Bevill exclusion for constituent A.

                   7.3  Normal Distribution Assumption

    As noted in Section 7.2 above, this statistical approach (use of the 
upper tolerance limit) for calculation of the concentration in normal 
residue is based on the assumption that the concentration data are 
distributed normally. The Agency is aware that concentration data of 
this type may not always be distributed normally, particularly when 
concentrations are near the detection limits. There are a number of 
procedures that can be used to test the distribution of a data set. For 
example, the Shapiro-Wilk test, examination of a histogram or plot of 
the data on normal probability paper, and examination of the coefficient 
of skewness are methods that may be applicable, depending on the nature 
of the data (References 1 and 2).

[[Page 99]]

    If the concentration data are not adequately represented by a normal 
distribution, the data may be transformed to attain a near normal 
distribution. The Agency has found that concentration data, especially 
when near detection levels, often exhibit a lognormal distribution. The 
assumption of a lognormal distribution has been used in various programs 
at EPA, such as in the Office of Solid Waste Land Disposal Restrictions 
program for determination of BDAT treatment standards. The transformed 
data may be tested for normality using the procedures identified above. 
If the transformed data are better represented by a normal distribution 
than the untransformed data, the transformed data should be used in 
determining the upper tolerance limit using the procedures in Section 
7.2 above.
    In all cases where the owner or operator wishes to use other than an 
assumption of normally distributed data or believes that use of an 
alternate statistical approach is appropriate to the specific data set, 
he/she must provide supporting rationale in the operating record that 
demonstrates that the data treatment is based upon sound statistical 
practice.

                          7.4  Nondetect Values

    The Agency is developing guidance regarding the treatment of 
nondetect values (data where the concentration of the constituent being 
measured is below the lowest concentration for which the analytical 
method is valid) in carrying out the statistical determination described 
above. Until the guidance information is available, facilities may 
present their own approach to the handling of nondetect data points, but 
must provide supporting rationale in the operating record for 
consideration by the Director.

Section 8.0--Procedures for Determining Default Values for Air Pollution 
                   Control System Removal Efficiencies

    During interim status, owners or operators of boilers and industrial 
furnaces burning hazardous waste must submit documentation to EPA that 
certifies that emissions of HCl, C12, metals, and particulate 
matter (PM) are not likely to exceed allowable emission rates. See 
certification of precompliance under 40 CFR 266.103(b). This 
documentation also establishes interim status feed rate and operating 
limits for the facility. For the initial certification, estimates of 
emissions and system removal efficiencies (SREs) can be made to 
establish the operating limits. Subsequently, owners or operators must 
use emissions testing to demonstrate that emissions do not exceed 
allowable levels, and to establish operating limits. See 40 CFR 
266.103(c). However, initial estimates of emissions for certification of 
precompliance can be based on estimated or established SREs.
    The SRE combines the effect of partitioning of the chorine, metals, 
or PM and the air pollution control system removal efficiency (APCS RE) 
for these pollutants. The SRE is defined as:
SRE=(species input--species emitted) / species input
    The SRE can be calculated from the partitioning factor (PF) and APCS 
RE by the following formula:
SRE=1--[(PF/l00) X (1--APCS RE/100)]

where:

PF=percentage of the pollutant partitioned to the combustion gas
    Estimates of the PF and/or the APCS RE can be based on either EPA's 
default values or engineering judgement. EPA's `default values for the 
APCS RE for metals, HCl, Cl2, and PM are described in this 
section. EPA's default values for partitioning of these pollutants are 
described in section 9.0.
    Guidelines for the use of engineering judgement to estimate APCS REs 
or PFs are described in section 9.4.

                 8.1  APCS RE Default Values for Metals

    EPA's default assumptions for APCS RE for metals are shown in Table 
8.1-1. The default values in the table are conservative estimates of the 
removal efficiencies for metals in BIFs, depending on the volatility of 
the metal and the type of APCS.
    The volatility of a metal depends on the temperature, the thermal 
input, the chlorine

content of the waste, and the identity and concentration of the metal. 
Metals that do not vaporize at combustion zone temperatures are 
classified as ``nonvolatile''. Such metals typically enter the APCS in 
the form of large particles that are removed relatively easily. Metals 
that vaporize in the combustion zone and condense before entering the 
APCS are classified as ``volatile''. Such metals typically enter the 
APCS in the form of very fine, submicron particles that are rather 
inefficiently removed in many APCSs. Metals that vaporize in the 
combustion zone and do not condense before entering the APCS are 
classified as ``very volatile''. Such metals enter the APCS in the form 
of a vapor that is very inefficiently removed in many APCSs.
    Typically, BIFs have combustion zone temperatures high enough to 
vaporize any hazardous metal at concentrations sufficient to exceed 
risk-based emission limits. For this reason, the default assumption is 
that there are no nonvolatile metals. Tables 8.1-2 and 8.1-3 are used to 
determine whether metals are classified as ``volatile'' or ``very 
volatile'' depending on the temperature entering the APCS, the thermal 
input, and whether the waste is chlorinated or nonchlorinated.

\1\ Interpolation of thermal input is not allowed. If a BIF fires between two ranges, the APCS temperature under
  the higher thermal input must be used.
Example: For a BIF firing 10-100 MMBtu/hr, Mercury is considered very volatile at APCS temperatures above 260 F
  and volatile at APCS temperatures of 260 F and below.

    A waste is considered chlorinated if chlorine is present in 
concentrations greater than 0.1 percent by weight. In the EPA guidance 
document ``Guidance for Metals and Hydrogen Chloride Controls for 
Hazardous Waste Incinerators, Volume IV of the Hazardous Waste 
Incineration Guidance Series,``(1) one percent is used for the 
chlorinated/nonchlorinated cutoff. However, best engineering judgement, 
based on examination of pilot-scale data reported by Carroll et al. (2) 
on the effects of waste chlorine content on metals emissions, suggests 
that the 1 percent cutoff may not be sufficiently conservative.
    Tables 8.1-2 and 8.1-3 were compiled based on equilibrium 
calculations. Metals are classified as very volatile at all temperatures 
above the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the metal is 
greater than 10 percent of the vapor pressure that results in emissions 
exceeding the most conservative risk-based emissions limits.

         8.2  APCS RE Default Values for HCl and Cl2

    Default assumptions for APCS RE for HCl in BIFs are shown in Table 
8.2-1. This table is identical to the column for other BIFs except that 
cement kilns have a minimum HCl removal efficiency of 83 percent. 
Because of the alkaline nature of the raw materials in cement kilns, 
most of the chlorine is converted to chloride salts. Thus, the minimum 
APCS RE for HCl for cement kilns is independent of the APCS train.
    Removal efficiency of Cl2 for most types of APCS is 
generally minimal. Therefore, the default assumption for APCS RE for 
Cl2 for all APCSs is 0 percent. This is applicable to all 
BIFs, including cement kilns.

                   8.3  APCS RE Default Values for Ash

    Default assumptions for APCS RE for PM are also shown in Table 8.1-
4. These figures are conservative estimates of PM removal efficiencies 
for different types of APCSs. They are identical to the figures in the 
Nonvolatile APCS RE column for hazardous metals presented in Table 8.1-1 
because the same collection mechanisms and collection efficiencies that 
apply to nonvolatile metals also apply to PM.

Section 9.0--Procedures for Determining Default Values for Partitioning 
               of Metals, Ash, and Total Chloride/Chlorine

    Pollutant partitioning factor estimates can come from two sources: 
default assumptions or engineering judgement. EPA's default assumptions 
are discussed below for metals, HCl, Cl2, and PM. The default 
assumptions are used to conservatively predict the partitioning factor 
for several types of BIFs. Engineering judgement-based partitioning 
factor estimates are discussed in section 9.4.

               9.1  Partitioning Default Value for Metals

    To be conservative, the Agency is assuming that 100 percent of each 
metal in each feed stream is partitioned to the combustion gas. Owners/
operators may use this default value or a supportable, site-specific 
value developed following the general guidelines provided in section 
9.4.

      9.2  Special Procedures for Chlorine, HCl, and Cl2

    The Agency has established the special procedures presented below 
for chlorine because the emission limits are based on the pollutants HCl 
and Cl2 formed from chlorine fed to the combustor. Therefore, the owner/
operator must estimate the controlled emission rate of both HCl and 
Cl2 and show that they do not exceed allowable levels.
    1. The default partitioning value for the fraction of chlorine in 
the total feed streams that is partitioned to combustion gas is 100 
percent. Owners/operators may use this default value or a supportable, 
site-specific value developed following the general guidelines provided 
in section 9.4.
    2. To determine the partitioning of chlorine in the combustion gas 
to HCl versus Cl2, either use the default values below or use 
supportable site-specific values developed following the general 
guidelines provided in section 9.4.
     For BIFs excluding halogen acid furnaces (HAFs), with a 
total feed stream chlorine/hydrogen ratio 0.95, the default 
partitioning factor is 20 percent Cl2, 80 percent HCl.
     For HAFs and for BIFs with a total feed stream chlorine/
hydrogen ratio >0.95, the default partitioning factor is 100 percent 
Cl2.
    3. To determine the uncontrolled (i.e., prior to acid gas APCS) 
emission rate of HCl and Cl2, multiply the feed rate of 
chlorine times the partitioning factor for each pollutant. Then, for 
HCl, convert the chlorine emission rate to HCl by multiplying it by the 
ratio of the molecular weight of HCl to the molecular weight of Cl 
(i.e., 36.5/35.5). No conversion is needed for Cl2.

                     9.3  Special Procedures for Ash

    This section: (1) Explains why ash feed rate limits are not 
applicable to cement and light-weight aggregate kilns; (2) presents the 
default partitioning values for ash; and (3) explains how to convert the 
0.08 gr/dscf, corrected to 7% O2, PM emission limit to a PM 
emission rate.
    Waiver for Cement and Light-Weight Aggregate Kilns. For cement kilns 
and light-weight aggregate kilns, raw material feed streams contain the 
vast majority of the ash input, and a significant amount of the ash in 
the feed stream is entrained into the kiln exhaust gas. For these 
devices, the ash content of the hazardous waste stream is expected to 
have a negligible effect on total ash emissions. For this reason, there 
is no ash feed rate compliance limit for cement kilns or light-weight 
aggregate kilns. Nonetheless, cement kilns and light-weight aggregate 
kilns are required to initially certify that PM emissions are not likely 
to exceed the PM limit, and subsequently, certify through compliance 
testing that the PM limit is not exceeded.
    Default Partitioning Value for Ash. The default assumption for 
partitioning of ash depends on the feed stream firing system. There are 
two methods by which materials may be fired into BIFs: Suspension-firing 
and bed-firing.
    The suspension category includes atomized and lanced pumpable 
liquids and suspension-fired pulverized solids. The default partitioning 
assumption for materials fired by these systems is that 100 percent of 
the ash partitions to the combustion gas.
    The bed-fired category consists principally of stoker boilers and 
raw materials (and in some cases containerized hazardous waste) fed into 
cement and light-weight aggregate kilns. The default partitioning 
assumption for materials fired on a bed is that 5 percent of the ash 
partitions to the combustion gas.
    Converting the PM Concentration-Based Standard to a PM Mass Emission 
Rate. The emission limit for BIFs is 0.08 gr/dscf, corrected to 7% 
02, unless a more stringent standard applies [e.g., a New 
Source Performance Standard (NSPS) or a State standard implemented under 
the State Implementation Plan (SIP)]. To convert the 0.08 gr/dscf 
standard to a PM mass emission rate:
    1. Determine the flue gas 02 concentration (percent by 
volume, dry) and flue gas flow rate (dry standard cubic feet per 
minute); and
    2. Calculate the allowable PM mass emission rate by multiplying the 
concentration- based PM emission standard times the flue

[[Page 103]]

gas flow rate times a dilution correction factor equal to [(21-
02 concentration from step 1)/(21-7)].

 9.4  Use of Engineering Judgement To Estimate Partitioning and APCS RE 
                                 Values

    Engineering judgement may be used in place of EPA's conservative 
default assumptions to estimate partitioning and APCS RE values provided 
that the engineering judgement is defensible and properly documented. To 
properly document engineering judgement, the owner/operator must keep a 
written record of all assumptions and calculations necessary to justify 
the APCS RE used. The owner/operator must provide this record to the 
Director upon request and must be prepared to defend the assumptions and 
calculations used.
    If the engineering judgement is based on emissions testing, the 
testing will often document the emission rate of a pollutant relative to 
the feed rate of that pollutant rather than the partitioning factor or 
APCS RE.
    Examples of situations where the use of engineering judgement may be 
supportable to estimate a partitioning factor, APCS RE, or SRE include:
     Using emissions testing data from the facility to support 
an SRE, even though the testing may not meet full QA/QC procedures 
(e.g., triplicate test runs). The closer the test results conform with 
full QA/QC procedures and the closer the operating conditions during the 
test conform with the established operating conditions for the facility, 
the more supportable the engineering judgement will be.
     Applying emissions testing data documenting an SRE for one 
metal, including nonhazardous surrogate metals to another less volatile 
metal.
     Applying emissions testing data documenting an SRE from one 
facility to a similar facility.
     Using APCS vendor guarantees of removal efficiency.

                  9.5  Restrictions on Use of Test Data

    The measurement of an SRE or an APCS RE may be limited by the 
detection limits of the measurement technique. If the emission of a 
pollutant is undetectable, then the calculation of SRE or APCS RE should 
be based on the lower limit of detectability. An SRE or APCS RE of 100 
percent is not acceptable.
    Further, mass balance data of facility inputs, emissions, and 
products/residues may not be used to support a partitioning factor, 
given the inherent uncertainties of such procedures. Partitioning 
factors other than the default values may be supported based on 
engineering judgement, considering, for example, process chemistry. 
Emissions test data may be used to support an engineering judgement-
based SRE, which includes both partitioning and APCS RE.

 Section 10.0--Alternative Methodology for Implementing Metals Controls

                           10.1  Applicability

    This method for controlling metals emissions applies to cement kilns 
and other industrial furnaces operating under interim status that 
recycle emission control residue back into the furnace.

                           10.2  Introduction

    Under this method, cement kilns and other industrial furnaces that 
recycle emission control residue back into the furnace must comply with 
a kiln dust concentration limit (i.e., a collected particulate matter 
(PM) limit) for each metal, as well as limits on the maximum feedrates 
of each of the metals in: (1) pumpable hazardous waste; and (2) all 
hazardous waste.
    The following subsections describe how this method for controlling 
metals emissions is to be implemented:
     Subsection 10.3 discusses the basis of the method and the 
assumptions upon which it is founded;
     Subsection 10.4 provides an overview of the implementation 
of the method;
     Subsection 10.5 is a step-by-step procedure for 
implementation of the method;
     Subsection 10.6 describes the compliance procedures for 
this method; and
     Appendix A describes the statistical calculations and tests 
to be used in the method.

                               10.3  Basis

    The viability of this method depends on three fundamental 
assumptions:
    (1) Variations in the ratio of the metal concentration in the 
emitted particulate to the metal concentration in the collected kiln 
dust (referred to as the enrichment factor or EF) for any given metal at 
any given facility will fall within a normal distribution that can be 
experimentally determined.
    (2) The metal concentrations in the collected kiln dust can be 
accurately and representatively measured (using procedures specified in 
``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods'' 
(SW-846), incorporated by reference in 40 CFR 260.11).
    (3) The facility will remain in compliance with the applicable 
particulate matter (PM) emission standard.

[[Page 104]]

    Given these assumptions. metal emissions can be related to the 
measured concentrations in the collected kiln dust by the following 
equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.014

Where:

ME is the metal emitted;
PME is the particulate matter emitted;
DMC is the metal concentration in the collected kiln dust; and
EF is the enrichment factor, which is the ratio of the metal 
          concentration in the emitted particulate matter to the metal 
          concentration in the collected kiln dust.
    This equation can be rearranged to calculate a maximum allowable 
dust metal concentration limit (DMCL) by assuming worst-case conditions 
that: metal emissions are at the Tier III (or Tier II) limit (see 40 CFR 
266.106), and that particulate emissions are at the particulate matter 
limit (PML):
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.015

    The enrichment factor used in the above equation must be determined 
experimentally from a minimum of 10 tests in which metal concentrations 
are measured in kiln dust and stack samples taken simultaneously. This 
approach provides a range of enrichment factors that can be inserted 
into a statistical distribution (t-distribution) to determine 
EF95 and EF99. 
EF95 is the value at which there is a 95% confidence 
level that the enrichment factor is below this value at any given time. 
Similarly, EF99 is the value at which there is a 99% 
confidence level that the enrichment factor is below this value at any 
given time. EF95 is used to calculate the 
``violation'' dust metal concentration limit (DMCLv):
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.016

    If the kiln dust metal concentration is just above this 
``violation'' limit, and the PM emissions are at the PM emissions limit, 
there is a 5% chance that the metal emissions are above the Tier III 
limit. In such a case, the facility would be in violation of the metals 
standard.

[[Page 105]]

    To provide a margin of safety, a second, more conservative kiln dust 
metal concentration limit is also used. This ``conservative'' dust metal 
concentration limit (DMCLc) is calculated using a ``safe'' 
enrichment factor (SEF). If EF99 is greater than two 
times the value of EF95, the ``safe'' enrichment 
factor can be calculated using Equation 4a:
SEF2 EF95        (4a)Q02
    If EF99 is not greater than two times the value 
of EF95, the ``safe'' enrichment factor can be 
calculated using Equation 4b:
SEF EF99        (4b)
    In cases where the enrichment factor cannot be determined because 
the kiln dust metal concentration is nondetectable, the ``safe'' 
enrichment factor is as follows:
SEF=100        (4c)
    For all cases, the ``conservative'' dust metal concentration limit 
is calculated using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.017

    If the kiln dust metal concentration at a facility is just above the 
``conservative'' limit based on that ``safe'' enrichment factor provided 
in Equation 4a, and the PM emissions are at the PM emissions limit, 
there is a 5% chance that the metal emissions are above one-half the 
Tier III limit. If the kiln dust metal concentration at the facility is 
just above the ``conservative'' limit based on the ``safe'' enrichment 
factor provided in Equation 4b, and the PM emissions are at the PM 
emissions limit, there is a 1% chance that the metal emissions are above 
the Tier III limit. In either case, the facility would be unacceptably 
close to a violation. If this situation occurs more than 5% of the time, 
the facility would be required to rerun the series of 10 tests to 
determine the enrichment factor. To avoid this expense. the facility 
would be advised to reduce its metals feedrates or to take other 
appropriate measures to maintain its kiln dust metal concentrations in 
compliance with the ``conservative'' dust metal concentration limits.
    In cases where the enrichment factor cannot be determined because 
the kiln dust metal concentration is nondetectable, and thus no 
EF95 exists, the ``violation'' dust metal 
concentration limit is set at ten times the ``conservative'' limit:
DMCLv=10 x DMCLc        (6)

                             10.4  Overview

    The flowchart for implementing the method is shown in Figure 10.4-1. 
The general procedure is as follows:
     Follow the certification of precompliance procedures 
described in subsection 10.6 (to comply with 40 CFR 266.103(b)).
     For each metal of concern, perform a series of tests to 
establish the relationship (enrichment factor) between the concentration 
of emitted metal and the metal concentration in the collected kiln dust.
     Use the demonstrated enrichment factor, in combination with 
the Tier III (or Tier II) metal emission limit and the most stringent 
applicable particulate emission limit, to calculate the ``violation'' 
and ``conservative'' dust metal concentration limits. Include this 
information with the certification of compliance under 40 CFR 
266.103(c).

[[Page 106]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AU92.042

     Perform daily and/or weekly monitoring of the cement kiln 
dust metal concentration to ensure (with appropriate QA/QC) that the 
metal concentration does not exceed either limit.
--If the cement kiln dust metal concentration exceeds the 
``conservative'' limit more than 5% of the time (i.e., more than three 
failures in last 60 tests), the series of tests to determine the 
enrichment factor must be repeated.
--If the cement kiln dust metal concentration exceeds the ``violation'' 
limit, a violation has occurred.

     Perform quarterly tests to verify that the enrichment 
factor has not increased significantly. If the enrichment factor has 
increased, the series of tests to determine the enrichment factor must 
be repeated.

[[Page 107]]

                     10.5  Implementation Procedures

    A step-by-step description for implementing the method is provided 
below:
    (1) Prepare initial limits and test plans.
     Determine the Tier III metal emission limit. The Tier II 
metal emission limit may also be used (see 40 CFR 266.106).
     Determine the applicable PM emission standard. This 
standard is the most stringent particulate emission standard that 
applies to the facility. A facility may elect to restrict itself to an 
even more stringent self-imposed PM emission standard, particularly if 
the facility finds that it is easier to control particulate emissions 
than to reduce the kiln dust concentration of a certain metal (i.e., 
lead).
     Determine which metals need to be monitored (i.e., all 
hazardous metals for which Tier III emission limits are lower than PM 
emission limits--assuming PM is pure metal).
     Follow the compliance procedures described in Subsection 
10.6.
     Follow the guidelines described in SW-846 for preparing 
test plans and waste analysis plans for the following tests:
--Compliance tests to determine limits on metal feedrates in pumpable 
hazardous wastes and in all hazardous wastes (as well as to determine 
other compliance parameters);
--Initial tests to determine enrichment factors;
--Quarterly tests to verify enrichment factors;
--Analysis of hazardous waste feedstreams; and
--Daily and/or weekly monitoring of kiln dust for continuing compliance.

    (2) Conduct tests to determine the enrichment factor.
     These tests must be conducted within a 14-day period. No 
more than two tests may be conducted in any single day. If the tests are 
not completed within a 14-day period, they must be repeated.
     Simultaneous stack samples and kiln dust samples must be 
taken.
--Stack sampling must be conducted with the multiple metals train 
according to procedures provided in section 10.3 of this Methods Manual.
--Kiln dust sampling must be conducted as follows:
--Follow the sampling and analytical procedures described in SW-846 and 
the waste analysis plan as they pertain to the condition and 
accessibility of the dust.
--Samples should be representative of the last ESP or Fabric Filter in 
the APCS series.

     The feedrates of hazardous metals in all pumpable hazardous 
waste streams and in all hazardous waste streams must be monitored 
during these tests. It is recommended (but not required) that the 
feedrates of hazardous metals in all feedstreams also be monitored.
     At least ten single (noncomposited) runs are required 
during the tests.
--The facility must follow a normal schedule of kiln dust recharging for 
all of the tests.
--Three of the first five tests must be compliance tests in conformance 
with 40 CFR 266.103(c); i.e., they must be used to determine maximum 
allowable feedrates of metals in pumpable hazardous wastes. and in all 
hazardous wastes, as well as to determine other compliance limits (see 
40 CFR 266.103(c)(1)).
--The remainder of the tests need not be conducted under full compliance 
test conditions; however, the facility must operate at its compliance 
test production rate, and it must burn hazardous waste during these 
tests such that the feedrate of each metal for pumpable and total 
hazardous wastes is at least 25% of the feedrate during compliance 
testing. If these criteria, and those discussed below, are not met for 
any parameter during a test, then either the test is not valid for 
determining enrichment factors under this method, or the compliance 
limits for that parameter must be established based on these test 
conditions rather than on the compliance test conditions.

     Verify that compliance emission limits are not exceeded.
--Metal emissions must not exceed Tier III (or Tier II) limits.
--PM emissions must not exceed the most stringent of applicable PM 
standards (or an optional self-imposed particulate standard).
     The facility must generate normal, marketable product using 
normal raw materials and fuels under normal operating conditions (for 
parameters other than those specified under this method) when these 
tests are conducted.
     Chromium must be treated as a special case:
--The enrichment factor for total chromium is calculated in the same way 
as the enrichment factor for other metals (i.e., the enrichment factor 
is the ratio of the concentration of total chromium in the emitted 
particulate matter to the concentration of total chromium in the 
collected kiln dust).
--The enrichment factor for hexavalent chromium (if measured) is defined 
as the ratio of the concentration of hexavalent chromium in the emitted 
particulate matter to the concentration of total chromium in the 
collected kiln dust.

    (3) Use the enrichment factors measured in Step 2 to determine 
EF95, EF99, and SEF.
     Calculate EF95 and 
EF99 according to the t-distribution as described in 
Appendix A
     Calculate SEF by

[[Page 108]]

--Equation 4a if EF95 is determinable and if 
EF99 is greater than two times 
EF95,
--Equation 4b if EF95 is determinable and if 
EF99 is not greater than two times 
EF95.
--Equation 4c if EF95 is not determinable.

    The facility may choose to set an even more conservative SEF to give 
itself a larger margin of safety between the point where corrective 
action is necessary and the point where a violation occurs.
    (4) Prepare certification of compliance.
     Calculate the ``conservative'' dust metal concentration 
limit (DMCLc) using Equation 5.
--Chromium is treated as a special case. The ``conservative'' kiln dust 
chromium concentration limit is set for total chromium, not for 
hexavalent chromium. The limit for total chromium must be calculated 
using the Tier III (or Tier II) metal limit for hexavalent chromium.
--If the stack samples described in Step 2 were analyzed for hexavalent 
chromium, the SEF based on the hexavalent chromium enrichment factors 
(as defined in Step 2) must be used in this calculation.
--If the stack samples were not analyzed for hexavalent chromium, then 
the SEF based on the total chromium enrichment factor must be used in 
this calculation.

     Calculate the ``violation'' dust metal concentration limit 
(DMCLv) using Equation 3 if EF95 is 
determinable, or using Equation 6 if EF95 is not 
determinable.
--Chromium is treated as a special case. The ``violation'' kiln dust 
chromium concentration limit is set for total chromium, not for 
hexavalent chromium. The limit for total chromium must be calculated 
using the Tier III (or Tier II) metal limit for hexavalent chromium.
--If the stack samples taken in Step 2 were analyzed for hexavalent 
chromium, the EF95 based on the hexavalent chromium 
enrichment factor (as defined in Step 2) should be used in this 
calculation.
--If the stack samples were not analyzed for hexavalent chromium, the 
EF95 based on the total chromium enrichment factor 
must be used in this calculation.

     Submit certification of compliance.
     Steps 2-4 must be repeated for recertification, which is 
required once every 3 years (see Sec. 266.103(d)).
    (5) Monitor metal concentrations in kiln dust for continuing 
compliance, and maintain compliance with all compliance limits for the 
duration of interim status.
     Metals to be monitored during compliance testing are 
classified as either ``critical'' or ``noncritical'' metals.
--All metals must initially be classified as ``critical'' metals and be 
monitored on a daily basis.
--A ``critical'' metal may be reclassified as a ``noncritical'' metal if 
its concentration in the kiln dust remains below 10% of its 
``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit for 30 consecutive 
daily samples. ``Noncritical'' metals must be monitored on a weekly 
basis.
--A ``noncritical'' metal must be reclassified as a ``critical'' metal 
if its concentration in the kiln dust is above 10% of its 
``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit for any single 
daily or weekly sample.

     Noncompliance with the sampling and analysis schedule 
prescribed by this method is a violation of the metals controls under 
Sec. 266.103.
     Follow the sampling, compositing, and analytical procedures 
described in this method and in SW-846 as they pertain to the condition 
and accessibility of the kiln dust.
     Follow the same procedures and sample at the same locations 
as were used for kiln dust samples collected to determine the enrichment 
factors (as discussed in Step 2).
     Samples must be collected at least once every 8 hours, and 
a daily composite must be prepared according to SW-846 procedures.
--At least one composite sample is required. This sample is referred to 
as the ``required'' sample.
--For QA/QC purposes, a facility may elect to collect two or more 
additional samples. These samples are referred to as the ``spare'' 
samples. These additional samples must be collected over the same time 
period and according to the same procedures as those used for the 
``required'' sample.
--Samples for ``critical'' metals must be daily composites.
--Samples for ``noncritical'' metals must be weekly composites. These 
samples can be composites of the original 8-hour samples, or they can be 
composites of daily composite samples.
     Analyze the ``required'' sample to determine the 
concentration of each metal.
--This analysis must be completed within 48 hours of the close of the 
sampling period. Failure to meet this schedule is a violation of the 
metals standards of Sec. 266.103.

     If the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit 
is exceeded for any metal, refer to Step 8.
     If the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit 
is not exceeded, continue with the daily or weekly monitoring (Step 5) 
for the duration of interim status.
     Conduct quarterly enrichment factor verification tests, as 
described in Step 6.
    (6) Conduct quarterly enrichment factor verification tests.
     After certification of compliance with the metals 
standards, a facility must conduct quarterly enrichment factor 
verification tests every three months for the duration of interim 
status. The first quarterly test must be completed within three

[[Page 109]]

months of certification (or recertification). Each subsequent quarterly 
test must be completed within three months of the preceding quarterly 
test. Failure to meet this schedule is a violation.
     Simultaneous stack samples and kiln dust samples must be 
collected.
     Follow the same procedures and sample at the same locations 
as were used for kiln dust samples and stack samples collected to 
determine the enrichment factors (as discussed in Step 2).
     At least three single (noncomposited) runs are required. 
These tests need not be conducted under the operating conditions of the 
initial compliance test; however, the facility must operate under the 
following conditions:
--It must operate at compliance test production rate.
--It must burn hazardous waste during the test, and for the 2-day period 
immediately preceding the test, such that the feedrate of each metal for 
pumpable and total hazardous wastes consist of at least 25% of the 
operating limits established during the compliance test.
--It must remain in compliance with all compliance parameters (see 
Sec. 266.103(c)(1)).
--It must follow a normal schedule of kiln dust recharging.
--It must generate normal marketable product from normal raw materials 
during the tests.

    (7) Conduct a statistical test to determine if the enrichment 
factors measured in the quarterly verification tests have increased 
significantly from the enrichment factors determined in the tests 
conducted in Step 2. The enrichment factors have increased significantly 
if all three of the following criteria are met:
     By applying the t-test described in appendix A, it is 
determined that the enrichment factors measured in the quarterly tests 
are not taken from the same population as the enrichment factors 
measured in the Step 2 tests;
     The EF95 calculated for the combined 
data sets (i.e., the quarterly test data and the original Step 2 test 
data) according to the t-distribution (described in appendix A) is more 
than 10% higher than the EF95 based on the 
enrichment factors previously measured in Step 2; and
     The highest measured kiln dust metal concentration recorded 
in the previous quarter is more than 10% of the ``violation'' kiln dust 
concentration limit that would be calculated from the combined 
EF95%.
    If the enrichment factors have increased significantly, the tests to 
determine the enrichment factors must be repeated (refer to Step 11). If 
the enrichment factors have not increased significantly, continue to use 
the kiln dust metal concentration limits based on the enrichment factors 
previously measured in Step 2, and continue with the daily and/or weekly 
monitoring described in Step 5.
    (8) If the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit was 
exceeded for any metal in any single analysis of the ``required'' kiln 
dust sample, the ``spare'' samples corresponding to the same period may 
be analyzed to determine if the exceedance was due to a sampling or 
analysis error.
     If no ``spare'' samples were taken, refer to Step 9.
     If the average of all the samples for a given day (or week, 
as applicable) (including the ``required'' sample and the ``spare'' 
samples) does not exceed the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal 
concentration limit, no corrective measures are necessary; continue with 
the daily and/or weekly monitoring as described in Step 5.
     If the average of all the samples for a given day (or week, 
as applicable) exceeds the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal 
concentration limit, but the average of the ``spare'' samples is below 
the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit, apply the Q-
test, described in appendix A, to determine whether the ``required'' 
sample concentration can be judged as an outlier.
--If the ``required'' sample concentration is judged an outlier, no 
corrective measures are necessary; continue with the daily and/or weekly 
monitoring described in Step 5.
--If the ``required'' sample concentration is not judged an outlier, 
refer to Step 9.

    (9) Determine if the ``violation'' kiln dust metal concentration has 
been exceeded based on either the average of all the samples collected 
during the 24-hour period in question, or if discarding an outlier can 
be statistically justified by the Q-test described in appendix A, on the 
average of the remaining samples.
     If the ``violation'' kiln dust metal concentration limit 
has been exceeded, a violation of the metals controls under 
Sec. 266.103(c) has occurred. Notify the Director that a violation has 
occurred. Hazardous waste may be burned for testing purposes for up to 
720 operating hours to support a revised certification of compliance. 
Note that the Director may grant an extension of the hours of hazardous 
waste burning under Sec. 266.103(c)(7) if additional burning time is 
needed to support a revised certification for reasons beyond the control 
of the owner or operator. Until a revised certification of compliance is 
submitted to the Director, the feedrate of the metals in violation in 
total and pumpable hazardous waste feeds is limited to 50% of the 
previous compliance test limits.
     If the ``violation'' kiln dust metal concentration has not 
been exceeded:
--If the exceedance occurred in a daily composite sample, refer to Step 
10.
--If the exceedance occurred in a weekly composite sample, refer to Step 
11.


[[Page 110]]


    (10) Determine if the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration 
limit has been exceeded more than three times in the last 60 days.
     If not, log this exceedance and continue with the daily 
and/or weekly monitoring (Step 5).
     If so, the tests to determine the enrichment factors must 
be repeated (refer to Step 11).
     This determination is made separately for each metal. For 
example,
--Three exceedances for each of the ten hazardous metals are allowed 
within any 60-day period.
--Four exceedances of any single metal in any 60-day period is not 
allowed.

     This determination should be made daily, beginning on the 
first day of daily monitoring. For example, if four exceedances of any 
single metal occur in the first four days of daily monitoring, do not 
wait until the end of the 60-day period; refer immediately to Step 11.
    (11) The tests to determine the enrichment factor must be repeated 
if: (1) More than three exceedances of the ``conservative'' kiln dust 
metal concentration limit occur within any 60 consecutive daily samples; 
(2) an excursion of the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration 
limit occurs in any weekly sample; or (3) a quarterly test indicates 
that the enrichment factors have increased significantly.
     The facility must notify the Director if these tests must 
be repeated.
     The facility has up to 720 hazardous-waste-burning hours to 
redetermine the enrichment factors for the metal or metals in question 
and to recertify (beginning with a return to Step 2). During this 
period, the facility must reduce the feed rate of the metal in violation 
by 50%. If the facility has not completed the recertification process 
within this period, it must stop burning or obtain an extension. 
Hazardous waste burning may resume only when the recertification process 
(ending with Step 4) has been completed.
     Meanwhile, the facility must continue with daily kiln dust 
metals monitoring (Step 5) and must remain in compliance with the 
``violation'' kiln dust metal concentration limits (Step 9).

                     10.6  Precompliance Procedures

    Cement kilns and other industrial furnaces that recycle emission 
control residue back into the furnace must comply with the same 
certification schedules and procedures (with the few exceptions 
described below) that apply to other boilers and industrial furnaces. 
These schedules and procedures, as set forth in Sec. 266.103, require no 
later than the effective date of the rule, each facility submit a 
certification which establishes precompliance limits for a number of 
compliance parameters (see Sec. 266.103(b)(3)), and that each facility 
immediately begin to operate under these limits.
    These precompliance limits must ensure that interim status emissions 
limits for hazardous metals, particulate matter, HCl, and Cl2 
are not likely to be exceeded. Determination of the values of the 
precompliance limits must be made based on either (1) conservative 
default assumptions provided in this Methods Manual, or (2) engineering 
judgement.
    The flowchart for implementing the precompliance procedures is shown 
in Figure 10.6-1. The step-by-step precompliance implementation 
procedure is described below. The precompliance implementation 
procedures and numbering scheme are similar to those used for the 
compliance procedures described in Subsection 10.5.
    (1) Prepare initial limits and test plans.
     Determine the Tier III metal emission limit. The Tier II 
metal emission limit may also be used (see 40 CFR 266.106).
     Determine the applicable PM emission standard. This 
standard is the most stringent particulate emission standard that 
applies to the facility. A facility may elect to restrict itself to an 
even more stringent self-imposed PM emission standard, particularly if 
the facility finds that it is easier to control particulate emissions 
than to reduce the kiln dust concentration of a certain metal (i.e., 
lead).
     Determine which metals need to be monitored (i.e., all 
hazardous metals for which Tier III emission limits are lower than PM 
emission limits, assuming PM is pure metal).
     Follow the procedures described in SW-846 for preparing 
waste analysis plans for the following tasks:
--Analysis of hazardous waste feedstreams.
--Daily and/or weekly monitoring of kiln dust concentrations for 
continuing compliance.

    (2) Determine the ``safe'' enrichment factor for precompliance. In 
this context, the ``safe'' enrichment factor is a conservatively high 
estimate of the enrichment factor (the ratio of the emitted metal 
concentration to the metal concentration in the collected kiln dust). 
The ``safe'' enrichment factor must be calculated from either 
conservative default values, or engineering judgement.

[[Page 111]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AU92.043

     Conservative default values for the ``safe'' enrichment 
factor are as follows:
--SEF=10 for all hazardous metals except mercury. SEF=10 for antimony, 
arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, silver, and 
thallium.
--SEF=100 for mercury.

     Engineering judgement may be used in place of conservative 
default assumptions provided that the engineering judgement is 
defensible and properly documented. The facility must keep a written 
record of all assumptions and calculations necessary to justify the SEF. 
The facility must provide this record to EPA upon request and must be 
prepared to defend these assumptions and calculations.
    Examples of situations where the use of engineering judgement is 
appropriate include:
--Use of data from precompliance tests;
--Use of data from previous compliance tests; and
--Use of data from similar facilities.

    (3) This step does not apply to precompliance procedures.
    (4) Prepare certification of precompliance.

[[Page 112]]

     Calculate the ``conservative'' dust metal concentration 
limit (DMCLc) using Equation 5.
     Submit certification of precompliance. This certification 
must include precompliance limits for all compliance parameters that 
apply to other boilers and industrial furnaces (i.e., those that do not 
recycle emission control residue back into the furnace) as listed in 
Sec. 266.103(b)(3), except that it is not necessary to set precompliance 
limits on maximum feedrate of each hazardous metal in all combined 
feedstreams.
     Furnaces that recycle collected PM back into the furnace 
(and that elect to comply with this method (see Sec. 266.103(c)(3)(ii)) 
are subject to a special precompliance parameter, however. They must 
establish precompliance limits on the maximum concentration of each 
hazardous metal in collected kiln dust (which must be set according to 
the procedures described above).
    (5) Monitor metal concentration in kiln dust for continuing 
compliance, and maintain compliance with all precompliance limits until 
certification of compliance has been submitted.
     Metals to be monitored during precompliance testing are 
classified as either ``critical'' or ``noncritical'' metals.
--All metals must initially be classified as ``critical'' metals and be 
monitored on a daily basis.
--A ``critical'' metal may be reclassified as a ``noncritical'' metal if 
its concentration in the kiln dust remains below 10% of its 
``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit for 30 consecutive 
daily samples. ``Noncritical'' metals must be monitored on a weekly 
basis, at a minimum.
--A ``noncritical'' metal must be reclassified as a ``critical'' metal 
if its concentration in the kiln dust is above 10% of its 
``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit for any single 
daily or weekly sample.

     It is a violation if the facility fails to analyze the kiln 
dust for any ``critical'' metal on any single day or for any 
``noncritical'' metal during any single week, when hazardous waste is 
burned.
     Follow the sampling, compositing, and analytical procedures 
described in this method and in SW-846 as they pertain to the condition 
and accessibility of the kiln dust.
     Samples must be collected at least once every 8 hours, and 
a daily composite prepared according to SW-846 procedures.
--At least one composite sample is required. This sample is referred to 
as the ``required'' sample.
--For QA/QC purposes, a facility may elect to collect two or more 
additional samples. These samples are referred to as the ``spare'' 
samples. These additional samples must be collected over the same time 
period and according to the same procedures as those used for the 
``required'' sample.
--Samples for ``critical'' metals must be daily composites.
--Samples for ``noncritical'' metals must be weekly composites, at a 
minimum. These samples can be composites of the original 8-hour samples, 
or they can be composites of daily composite samples.

     Analyze the ``required'' sample to determine the 
concentration of each metal.
--This analysis must be completed within 48 hours of the close of the 
sampling period. Failure to meet this schedule is a violation.

     If the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit 
is exceeded for any metal, refer to Step 8.
     If the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit 
is not exceeded, continue with the daily and/or weekly monitoring (Step 
5) for the duration of interim status.
    (6) This step does not apply to precompliance procedures.
    (7) This step does not apply to precompliance procedures.
    (8) If the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit was 
exceeded for any metal in any single analysis of the ``required'' kiln 
dust sample, the ``spare'' samples corresponding to the same period may 
be analyzed to determine if the exceedance is due to a sampling or 
analysis error.
     If no ``spare'' samples were taken, refer to Step 9.
     If the average of all the samples for a given day (or week, 
as applicable) (including the ``required'' sample and the ``spare'' 
samples) does not exceed the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal 
concentration limit, no corrective measures are necessary; continue with 
the daily and/or weekly monitoring as described in Step 5.
     If the average of all the samples for a given day (or week, 
as applicable) exceeds the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal 
concentration limit, but the average of the ``spare'' samples is below 
the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit, apply the Q-
test, described in appendix A, to determine whether the ``required'' 
sample concentration can be judged as an outlier.
--If the ``required'' sample concentration is judged an outlier, no 
corrective measures are necessary; continue with the daily and/or weekly 
monitoring described in Step 5.
--If the ``required'' sample concentration is not judged an outlier, 
refer to Step 10.

    (9) This step does not apply to precompliance procedures.
    (10) Determine if the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration 
limit has been exceeded more than three times in the last 60 days.

[[Page 113]]

     If not, log this exceedance and continue with the daily 
and/or weekly monitoring (Step 5).
     If so, the tests to determine the enrichment factors must 
be repeated (refer to Step 11).
     This determination is made separately for each metal; for 
example:
--Three exceedances for each of the ten hazardous metals are allowed 
within any 60-day period.
--Four exceedances of any single metal in any 60-day period is not 
allowed.

     This determination should be made daily, beginning on the 
first day of daily monitoring. For example, if four exceedances of any 
single metal occur in the first four days of daily monitoring, do not 
wait until the end of the 60-day period; refer immediately to Step 11.
    (11) A revised certification of precompliance must be submitted to 
the Director (or certification of compliance must be submitted) if: (1) 
More than three exceedances of the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal 
concentration limit occur within any 60 consecutive daily samples; or 
(2) an exceedance of the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration 
limit occurs in any weekly sample.
     The facility must notify the Director if a revised 
certification of precompliance must be submitted.
     The facility has up to 720 waste-burning hours to submit a 
certification of compliance or a revised certification of precompliance. 
During this period, the feed rate of the metal in violation must be 
reduced by 50%. In the case of a revised certification of precompliance, 
engineering judgement must be used to ensure that the ``conservative'' 
kiln dust metal concentration will not be exceeded. Examples of how this 
goal might be accomplished include:
--Changing equipment or operating procedures to reduce the kiln dust 
metal concentration;
--Changing equipment or operating procedures, or using more detailed 
engineering judgement, to decrease the estimated SEF and thus increase 
the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit;
--Increasing the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit by 
imposing a stricter PM emissions standard; or
--Increasing the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit by 
performing a more detailed risk assessment to increase the metal 
emission limits.

     Meanwhile, the facility must continue with daily kiln dust 
metals monitoring (Step 5).

            Appendix A to Appendix IX to Part 266--Statistics

                 A.1  Determination of Enrichment Factor

    After at least 10 initial emissions tests are performed, an 
enrichment factor for each metal must be determined. At the 95% 
confidence level, the enrichment factor, EF95 s, is 
based on the test results and is statistically determined so there is 
only a 5% chance that the enrichment factor at any given time will be 
larger than EF95. Similarly, at the 99% confidence 
level, the enrichment factor, EF99, is statistically 
determined so there is only a 1% chance that the enrichment factor at 
any given time will be larger than EF99.
    For a large number of samples (n > 30), EF95 is 
based on a normal distribution, and is equal to:
EF95=EF+zc         (1)

where:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.018

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.019

    For a 95% confidence level, zc is equal to 1.645.
    For a small number of samples (n<30), EF95 is 
based on the t-distribution and is equal to:
EF95=EF+tc S        (4)

where the standard deviation, S, is defined as:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.020

tc is a function of the number of samples and the confidence 
level that is desired. It increases in value as the sample size 
decreases and the confidence level increases. The 95% confidence level 
is used in this method to calculate the ``violation'' kiln dust metal 
concentration limit; and the 99% confidence level is sometimes used to 
calculate the ``conservative'' kiln dust metal concentration limit. 
Values of tc are shown in table A-

[[Page 114]]

1 for various degrees of freedom (degrees of freedom=sample size-1) at 
the 95% and 99% confidence levels. As the sample size approaches 
infinity, the normal distribution is approached.

               A.2  Comparison of Enrichment Factor Groups

    To determine if the enrichment factors measured in the quarterly 
tests are significantly different from the enrichment factors determined 
in the initial Step 2 tests, the t-test is used. In this test, the value 
tmeas:

is compared to tcrit at the desired confidence level. The 95% 
confidence level is used in this method. Values of tcrit are 
shown in table A-1 for various degrees of freedom (degrees of freedom 
n1+n2-2) at the 95% and 99% confidence levels. If 
tmeas is greater then tcrit, it can be concluded 
with 95% confidence that the two groups are not from the same 
population.

                         A.3  Rejection of Data

    If the concentration of any hazardous metal in the ``required'' kiln 
dust sample exceeds the kiln dust metal concentration limit, the 
``spare'' samples are analyzed. If the average of the combined 
``required'' and ``spare'' values is still above the limit, a 
statistical test is used to decide if the upper value can be rejected.
    The ``Q-test'' is used to determine if a data point can be rejected. 
The difference between the questionable result and its neighbor is 
divided by the spread of the entire data set. The resulting ratio, 
Qmeas, is then compared with rejection values that are 
critical for a particular degree of confidence, where Qmeas 
is:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC06NO91.023

The 90% confidence level for data rejection is used in this method. 
Table A-2 provides the values of Qcrit at the 90% confidence 
level. If Qmeas is larger than Qcrit, the data 
point can be discarded. Only one data point from a sample group can be 
rejected using this method.

is intended for disposal and that is: A manufactured object; or plant or 
animal matter; or natural geologic material. However, the following 
materials are not debris: Any material for which a specific treatment 
standard is provided in Subpart D, Part 268, namely lead acid batteries, 
cadmium batteries, and radioactive lead solids; Process residuals such 
as smelter slag and residues from the treatment of waste, wastewater, 
sludges, or air emission residues; and Intact containers of hazardous 
waste that are not ruptured and that retain at least 75% of their 
original volume. A mixture of debris that has not been treated to the 
standards provided by Sec. 268.45 and other material is subject to 
regulation as debris if the mixture is comprised primarily of debris, by 
volume, based on visual inspection.
    (h) Hazardous debris means debris that contains a hazardous waste 
listed in subpart D of part 261 of this chapter, or that exhibits a 
characteristic of hazardous waste identified in subpart C of part 261 of 
this chapter. Any deliberate mixing of prohibited hazardous waste with 
debris that changes its treatment classification (i.e., from waste to 
hazardous debris) is not allowed under the dilution prohibition in 
Sec. 268.3.
    (i) Underlying hazardous constituent means any constituent listed in 
Sec. 268.48, Table UTS--Universal Treatment Standards, except fluoride, 
selenium, sulfides, vanadium, and zinc, which can reasonably be expected 
to be present at the point of generation of the hazardous waste at a 
concentration above the constituent-specific UTS treatment standards.
    (j) Inorganic metal-bearing waste is one for which EPA has 
established treatment standards for metal hazardous constituents, and 
which does not otherwise contain significant organic or cyanide content 
as described in Sec. 268.3(c)(1), and is specifically listed in appendix 
XI of this part.
    (k) Soil means unconsolidated earth material composing the 
superficial geologic strata (material overlying bedrock), consisting of 
clay, silt, sand, or gravel size particles as classified by the U.S. 
Natural Resources Conservation Service, or a mixture of such materials 
with liquids, sludges or solids which is inseparable by simple 
mechanical removal processes and is made up primarily of soil by volume 
based on visual inspection. Any deliberate mixing of prohibited 
hazardous waste with

[[Page 119]]

soil that changes its treatment classification (i.e., from waste to 
contaminated soil) is not allowed under the dilution prohibition in 
Sec. 268.3.

Sec. 268.3  Dilution prohibited as a substitute for treatment.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no 
generator, transporter, handler, or owner or operator of a treatment, 
storage, or disposal facility shall in any way dilute a restricted waste 
or the residual from treatment of a restricted waste as a substitute for 
adequate treatment to achieve compliance with subpart D of this part, to 
circumvent the effective date of a prohibition in subpart C of this 
part, to otherwise avoid a prohibition in subpart C of this part, or to 
circumvent a land disposal prohibition imposed by RCRA section 3004.
    (b) Dilution of wastes that are hazardous only because they exhibit 
a characteristic in treatment systems which include land- based units 
which treat wastes subsequently discharged to a water of the United 
States pursuant to a permit issued under section 402 of the Clean Water 
Act (CWA), or which treat wastes in a CWA-equivalent treatment system, 
or which treat wastes for the purposes of pretreatment requirements 
under section 307 of the CWA is not impermissible dilution for purposes 
of this section unless a method other than DEACT has been specified in 
Sec. 268.40 as the treatment standard, or unless the waste is a D003 
reactive cyanide wastewater or nonwastewater.
    (c) Combustion of the hazardous waste codes listed in Appendix XI of 
this part is prohibited, unless the waste, at the point of generation, 
or after any bona fide treatment such as cyanide destruction prior to 
combustion, can be demonstrated to comply with one or more of the 
following criteria (unless otherwise specifically prohibited from 
combustion):
    (1) The waste contains hazardous organic constituents or cyanide at 
levels exceeding the constituent-specific treatment standard found in 
Sec. 268.48;
    (2) The waste consists of organic, debris-like materials (e.g., 
wood, paper, plastic, or cloth) contaminated with an inorganic metal-
bearing hazardous waste;
    (3) The waste, at point of generation, has reasonable heating value 
such as greater than or equal to 5000 BTU per pound;
    (4) The waste is co-generated with wastes for which combustion is a 
required method of treatment;
    (5) The waste is subject to Federal and/or State requirements 
necessitating reduction of organics (including biological agents); or
    (6) The waste contains greater than 1% Total Organic Carbon (TOC).
    (d) It is a form of impermissible dilution, and therefore 
prohibited, to add iron filings or other metallic forms of iron to lead-
containing hazardous wastes in order to achieve any land disposal 
restriction treatment standard for lead. Lead-containing wastes include 
D008 wastes (wastes exhibiting a characteristic due to the presence of 
lead), all characteristic wastes containing lead as an underlying 
hazardous constituent, listed wastes containing lead as a regulated 
constituent, and hazardous media containing any of the aforementioned 
lead-containing wastes.

Sec. 268.4  Treatment surface impoundment exemption.

    (a) Wastes which are otherwise prohibited from land disposal under 
this part may be treated in a surface impoundment or series of 
impoundments provided that:
    (1) Treatment of such wastes occurs in the impoundments;
    (2) The following conditions are met:
    (i) Sampling and testing. For wastes with treatment standards in 
subpart D of this part and/or prohibition levels in subpart C of this 
part or RCRA section 3004(d), the residues from treatment are analyzed, 
as specified in Sec. 268.7 or Sec. 268.32, to determine if they meet the

[[Page 120]]

applicable treatment standards or where no treatment standards have been 
established for the waste, the applicable prohibition levels. The 
sampling method, specified in the waste analysis plan under Sec. 264.13 
or Sec. 265.13, must be designed such that representative samples of the 
sludge and the supernatant are tested separately rather than mixed to 
form homogeneous samples.
    (ii) Removal. The following treatment residues (including any liquid 
waste) must be removed at least annually; residues which do not meet the 
treatment standards promulgated under subpart D of this part; residues 
which do not meet the prohibition levels established under subpart C of 
this part or imposed by statute (where no treatment standards have been 
established); residues which are from the treatment of wastes prohibited 
from land disposal under subpart C of this part (where no treatment 
standards have been established and no prohibition levels apply); or 
residues from managing listed wastes which are not delisted under 
Sec. 260.22 of this chapter. If the volume of liquid flowing through the 
impoundment or series of impoundments annually is greater than the 
volume of the impoundment or impoundments, this flow-through constitutes 
removal of the supernatant for the purpose of this requirement.
    (iii) Subsequent management. Treatment residues may not be placed in 
any other surface impoundment for subsequent management.
    (iv) Recordkeeping. Sampling and testing and recordkeeping 
provisions of Secs. 264.13 and 265.13 of this chapter apply.
    (3) The impoundment meets the design requirements of Sec. 264.221(c) 
or Sec. 265.221(a) of this chapter, regardless that the unit may not be 
new, expanded, or a replacement, and be in compliance with applicable 
ground water monitoring requirements of subpart F of part 264 or part 
264 of this chapter unless:
    (i) Exempted pursuant to Sec. 264.221 (d) or (e) of this chapter, or 
to Sec. 265.221 (c) or (d) of this chapter; or,
    (ii) Upon application by the owner or operator, the Administrator, 
after notice and an opportunity to comment, has granted a waiver of the 
requirements on the basis that the surface impoundment:
    (A) Has at least one liner, for which there is no evidence that such 
liner is leaking;
    (B) Is located more than one-quarter mile from an underground source 
of drinking water; and
    (C) Is in compliance with generally applicable ground water 
monitoring requirements for facilities with permits; or,
    (iii) Upon application by the owner or operator, the Administrator, 
after notice and an opportunity to comment, has granted a modification 
to the requirements on the basis of a demonstration that the surface 
impoundment is located, designed, and operated so as to assure that 
there will be no migration of any hazardous constituent into ground 
water or surface water at any future time.
    (4) The owner or operator submits to the Regional Administrator a 
written certification that the requirements of Sec. 268.4(a)(3) have 
been met. The following certification is required:

    I certify under penalty of law that the requirements of 40 CFR 
268.4(a)(3) have been met for all surface impoundments being used to 
treat restricted wastes. I believe that the submitted information is 
true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant 
penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of 
fine and imprisonment.

    (b) Evaporation of hazardous constituents as the principal means of 
treatment is not considered to be treatment for purposes of an exemption 
under this section.

Sec. 268.5  Procedures for case-by-case extensions to an effective date.

    (a) Any person who generates, treats, stores, or disposes of a 
hazardous waste may submit an application to the Administrator for an 
extension to the effective date of any applicable restriction 
established under subpart C of this part. The applicant must demonstrate 
the following:

[[Page 121]]

    (1) He has made a good-faith effort to locate and contract with 
treatment, recovery, or disposal facilities nationwide to manage his 
waste in accordance with the effective date of the applicable 
restriction established under subpart C of this part;
    (2) He has entered into a binding contractual commitment to 
construct or otherwise provide alternative treatment, recovery (e.g., 
recycling), or disposal capacity that meets the treatment standards 
specified in subpart D or, where treatment standards have not been 
specified, such treatment, recovery, or disposal capacity is protective 
of human health and the environment.
    (3) Due to circumstances beyond the applicant's control, such 
alternative capacity cannot reasonably be made available by the 
applicable effective date. This demonstration may include a showing that 
the technical and practical difficulties associated with providing the 
alternative capacity will result in the capacity not being available by 
the applicable effective date;
    (4) The capacity being constructed or otherwise provided by the 
applicant will be sufficient to manage the entire quantity of waste that 
is the subject of the application;
    (5) He provides a detailed schedule for obtaining required operating 
and construction permits or an outline of how and when alternative 
capacity will be available;
    (6) He has arranged for adequate capacity to manage his waste during 
an extension and has documented in the application the location of all 
sites at which the waste will be managed; and
    (7) Any waste managed in a surface impoundment or landfill during 
the extension period will meet the requirements of paragraph (h)(2) of 
this section.
    (b) An authorized representative signing an application described 
under paragraph (a) of this section shall make the following 
certification:

    I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and 
am familiar with the information submitted in this document and all 
attachments and that, based on my inquiry of those individuals 
immediately responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that 
the information is true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there 
are significant penalties for submitting false information, including 
the possibility of fine and imprisonment.

    (c) After receiving an application for an extension, the 
Administrator may request any additional information which he deems as 
necessary to evaluate the application.
    (d) An extension will apply only to the waste generated at the 
individual facility covered by the application and will not apply to 
restricted waste from any other facility.
    (e) On the basis of the information referred to in paragraph (a) of 
this section, after notice and opportunity for comment, and after 
consultation with appropriate State agencies in all affected States, the 
Administrator may grant an extension of up to 1 year from the effective 
date. The Administrator may renew this extension for up to 1 additional 
year upon the request of the applicant if the demonstration required in 
paragraph (a) of this section can still be made. In no event will an 
extension extend beyond 24 months from the applicable effective date 
specified in subpart C of part 268. The length of any extension 
authorized will be determined by the Administrator based on the time 
required to construct or obtain the type of capacity needed by the 
applicant as described in the completion schedule discussed in paragraph 
(a)(5) of this section. The Administrator will give public notice of the 
intent to approve or deny a petition and provide an opportunity for 
public comment. The final decision on a petition will be published in 
the Federal Register.
    (f) Any person granted an extension under this section must 
immediately notify the Administrator as soon as he has knowledge of any 
change in the conditions certified to in the application.
    (g) Any person granted an extension under this section shall submit 
written progress reports at intervals designated by the Administrator. 
Such reports must describe the overall progress made toward constructing 
or otherwise providing alternative treatment, recovery or disposal 
capacity; must identify any event which may cause or has caused a delay 
in the development of the capacity; and must

[[Page 122]]

summarize the steps taken to mitigate the delay. The Administrator can 
revoke the extension at any time if the applicant does not demonstrate a 
good-faith effort to meet the schedule for completion, if the Agency 
denies or revokes any required permit, if conditions certified in the 
application change, or for any violation of this chapter.
    (h) Whenever the Administrator establishes an extension to an 
effective date under this section, during the period for which such 
extension is in effect:
    (1) The storage restrictions under Sec. 268.50(a) do not apply; and
    (2) Such hazardous waste may be disposed in a landfill or surface 
impoundment only if such unit is in compliance with the technical 
requirements of the following provisions regardless of whether such unit 
is existing, new, or a replacement or lateral expansion.
    (i) The landfill, if in interim status, is in compliance with the 
requirements of subpart F of part 265 and Sec. 265.301 (a), (c), and (d) 
of this chapter; or,
    (ii) The landfill, if permitted, is in compliance with the 
requirements of subpart F of part 264 and Sec. 264.301 (c), (d) and (e) 
of this chapter; or
    (iii) The surface impoundment, if in interim status, is in 
compliance with the requirements of subpart F of part 265, Sec. 265.221 
(a), (c), and (d) of this chapter, and RCRA section 3005(j)(1); or
    (iv) The surface impoundment, if permitted, is in compliance with 
the requirements of subpart F of part 264 and Sec. 264.221 (c), (d) and 
(e) of this chapter; or
    (v) The surface impoundment, if newly subject to RCRA section 
3005(j)(1) due to the promulgation of additional listings or 
characteristics for the identification of hazardous waste, is in 
compliance with the requirements of subpart F of part 265 of this 
chapter within 12 months after the promulgation of additional listings 
or characteristics of hazardous waste, and with the requirements of 
Sec. 265.221 (a), (c) and (d) of this chapter within 48 months after the 
promulgation of additional listings or characteristics of hazardous 
waste. If a national capacity variance is granted, during the period the 
variance is in effect, the surface impoundment, if newly subject to RCRA 
section 3005(j)(1) due to the promulgation of additional listings or 
characteristics of hazardous waste, is in compliance with the 
requirements of subpart F of part 265 of this chapter within 12 months 
after the promulgation of additional listings or characteristics of 
hazardous waste, and with the requirements of Sec. 265.221 (a), (c) and 
(d) of this chapter within 48 months after the promulgation of 
additional listings or characteristics of hazardous waste; or
    (vi) The landfill, if disposing of containerized liquid hazardous 
wastes containing PCBs at concentrations greater than or equal to 50 ppm 
but less than 500 ppm, is also in compliance with the requirements of 40 
CFR 761.75 and parts 264 and 265.
    (i) Pending a decision on the application the applicant is required 
to comply with all restrictions on land disposal under this part once 
the effective date for the waste has been reached.

Sec. 268.6  Petitions to allow land disposal of a waste prohibited under subpart C of part 268.

    (a) Any person seeking an exemption from a prohibition under subpart 
C of this part for the disposal of a restricted hazardous waste in a 
particular unit or units must submit a petition to the Administrator 
demonstrating, to a reasonable degree of certainty, that there will be 
no migration of hazardous constituents from the disposal unit or 
injection zone for as long as the wastes remain hazardous. The 
demonstration must include the following components:
    (1) An identification of the specific waste and the specific unit 
for which the demonstration will be made;

characteristics of the subject waste;
    (3) A comprehensive characterization of the disposal unit site 
including an analysis of background air, soil, and water quality.
    (4) A monitoring plan that detects migration at the earliest 
practicable time;

[[Page 123]]

    (5) Sufficient information to assure the Administrator that the 
owner or operator of a land disposal unit receiving restricted waste(s) 
will comply with other applicable Federal, State, and local laws.
    (b) The demonstration referred to in paragraph (a) of this section 
must meet the following criteria:
    (1) All waste and environmental sampling, test, and analysis data 
must be accurate and reproducible to the extent that state-of-the-art 
techniques allow;
    (2) All sampling, testing, and estimation techniques for chemical 
and physical properties of the waste and all environmental parameters 
must have been approved by the Administrator;
    (3) Simulation models must be calibrated for the specific waste and 
site conditions, and verified for accuracy by comparison with actual 
measurements;
    (4) A quality assurance and quality control plan that addresses all 
aspects of the demonstration must be approved by the Administrator; and,
    (5) An analysis must be performed to identify and quantify any 
aspects of the demonstration that contribute significantly to 
uncertainty. This analysis must include an evaluation of the 
consequences of predictable future events, including, but not limited 
to, earthquakes, floods, severe storm events, droughts, or other natural 
phenomena.
    (c) Each petition referred to in paragraph (a) of this section must 
include the following:
    (1) A monitoring plan that describes the monitoring program 
installed at and/or around the unit to verify continued compliance with 
the conditions of the variance. This monitoring plan must provide 
information on the monitoring of the unit and/or the environment around 
the unit. The following specific information must be included in the 
plan:
    (i) The media monitored in the cases where monitoring of the 
environment around the unit is required;
    (ii) The type of monitoring conducted at the unit, in the cases 
where monitoring of the unit is required;
    (iii) The location of the monitoring stations;
    (iv) The monitoring interval (frequency of monitoring at each 
station);
    (v) The specific hazardous constituents to be monitored;
    (vi) The implementation schedule for the monitoring program;
    (vii) The equipment used at the monitoring stations;
    (viii) The sampling and analytical techniques employed; and
    (ix) The data recording/reporting procedures.
    (2) Where applicable, the monitoring program described in paragraph 
(c)(1) of this section must be in place for a period of time specified 
by the Administrator, as part of his approval of the petition, prior to 
receipt of prohibited waste at the unit.
    (3) The monitoring data collected according to the monitoring plan 
specified under paragraph (c)(1) of this section must be sent to the 
Administrator according to a format and schedule specified and approved 
in the monitoring plan, and
    (4) A copy of the monitoring data collected under the monitoring 
plan specified under paragraph (c)(1) of this section must be kept on-
site at the facility in the operating record.
    (5) The monitoring program specified under paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section meet the following criteria:
    (i) All sampling, testing, and analytical data must be approved by 
the Administrator and must provide data that is accurate and 
reproducible.
    (ii) All estimation and monitoring techniques must be approved by 
the Administrator.
    (iii) A quality assurance and quality control plan addressing all 
aspects of the monitoring program must be provided to and approved by 
the Administrator.
    (d) Each petition must be submitted to the Administrator.
    (e) After a petition has been approved, the owner or operator must 
report any changes in conditions at the unit and/or the environment 
around the unit that significantly depart from the conditions described 
in the variance and affect the potential for migration of hazardous 
constituents from the units as follows:
    (1) If the owner or operator plans to make changes to the unit 
design, construction, or operation, such a change must be proposed, in 
writing, and the

[[Page 124]]

owner or operator must submit a demonstration to the Administrator at 
least 30 days prior to making the change. The Administrator will 
determine whether the proposed change invalidates the terms of the 
petition and will determine the appropriate response. Any change must be 
approved by the Administrator prior to being made.
    (2) If the owner or operator discovers that a condition at the site 
which was modeled or predicted in the petition does not occur as 
predicted, this change must be reported, in writing, to the 
Administrator within 10 days of discovering the change. The 
Administrator will determine whether the reported change from the terms 
of the petition requires further action, which may include termination 
of waste acceptance and revocation of the petition, petition 
modifications, or other responses.
    (f) If the owner or operator determines that there is migration of 
hazardous constituent(s) from the unit, the owner or operator must:
    (1) Immediately suspend receipt of prohibited waste at the unit, and
    (2) Notify the Administrator, in writing, within 10 days of the 
determination that a release has occurred.
    (3) Following receipt of the notification the Administrator will 
determine, within 60 days of receiving notification, whether the owner 
or operator can continue to receive prohibited waste in the unit and 
whether the variance is to be revoked. The Administrator shall also 
determine whether further examination of any migration is warranted 
under applicable provisions of part 264 or part 265.
    (g) Each petition must include the following statement signed by the 
petitioner or an authorized representative:


I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and am 
familiar with the information submitted in this petition and all 
attached documents, and that, based on my inquiry of those individuals 
immediately responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that 
submitted information is true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that 
there are significant penalties for submitting false information, 
including the possibility of fine and imprisonment.

    (h) After receiving a petition, the Administrator may request any 
additional information that reasonably may be required to evaluate the 
demonstration.
    (i) If approved, the petition will apply to land disposal of the 
specific restricted waste at the individual disposal unit described in 
the demonstration and will not apply to any other restricted waste at 
that disposal unit, or to that specific restricted waste at any other 
disposal unit.
    (j) The Administrator will give public notice in the Federal 
Register of the intent to approve or deny a petition and provide an 
opportunity for public comment. The final decision on a petition will be 
published in the Federal Register.
    (k) The term of a petition granted under this section shall be no 
longer than the term of the RCRA permit if the disposal unit is 
operating under a RCRA permit, or up to a maximum of 10 years from the 
date of approval provided under paragraph (g) of this section if the 
unit is operating under interim status. In either case, the term of the 
granted petition shall expire upon the termination or denial of a RCRA 
permit, or upon the termination of interim status or when the volume 
limit of waste to be land disposed during the term of petition is 
reached.
    (l) Prior to the Administrator's decision, the applicant is required 
to comply with all restrictions on land disposal under this part once 
the effective date for the waste has been reached.
    (m) The petition granted by the Administrator does not relieve the 
petitioner of his responsibilities in the management of hazardous waste 
under 40 CFR part 260 through part 271.
    (n) Liquid hazardous wastes containing polychlorinated biphenyls at 
concentrations greater than or equal to 500 ppm are not eligible for an 
exemption under this section.

Sec. 268.7  Testing, tracking, and recordkeeping requirements for generators, treaters, and disposal facilities.

    (a) Requirements for generators: (1) A generator of hazardous waste 
must determine if the waste has to be treated before it can be land 
disposed. This is done by determining if the hazardous waste meets the 
treatment standards in Sec. 268.40, Sec. 268.45, or Sec. 268.49. This 
determination can be made in either of two ways: testing the waste or 
using knowledge of the waste. If the generator tests the waste, testing 
would normally determine the total concentration of hazardous 
constituents, or the concentration of hazardous constituents in an 
extract of the waste obtained using test method 1311 in ``Test Methods 
of Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA Publication 
SW-846, as referenced in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter, depending on 
whether the treatment standard for the waste is expressed as a total 
concentration or concentration of hazardous constituent in the waste's 
extract. In addition, some hazardous wastes must be treated by 
particular treatment methods before they can be land disposed and some 
soils are contaminated by such hazardous wastes. These treatment 
standards are also found in Sec. 268.40, and are described in detail in 
Sec. 268.42, Table 1. These wastes, and solids contaminated with such 
wastes, do not need to be tested (however, if they are in a waste 
mixture, other wastes with concentration level treatment standards would 
have to be tested). If a generator determines they are managing a waste 
or soil contamination with a waste, that displays a hazardous 
characteristic of ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity, 
they must comply with the special requirements of Sec. 268.9 of this 
part in addition to any applicable requirements in this section.
    (2) If the waste or contaminated soil does not meet the treatment 
standard: With the initial shipment of waste to each treatment or 
storage facility, the generator must send a one-time written notice to 
each treatment or storage facility receiving the waste, and place a copy 
in the file. The notice must include the information in column 
``268.7(a)(2)'' of the Generator Paperwork Requirements Table in 
Sec. 268.7(a)(4). No further notification is necessary until such time 
that the waste or facility change, in which case a new notification must 
be sent and a copy placed in the generator's file.
    (i) For contaminated soil, the following certification statement 
should be included, signed by an authorized representative:

    I certify under penalty of law that I personally have examined this 
contaminated soil and it [does/does not] contain listed hazardous waste 
and [does/does not] exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste and 
requires treatment to meet the soil treatment standards as provided by 
268.49(c).

    (ii) [Reserved]
    (3) If the waste or contaminated soil meets the treatment standard 
at the original point of generation:
    (i) With the initial shipment of waste to each treatment, storage, 
or disposal facility, the generator must send a one-time written notice 
to each treatment, storage, or disposal facility receiving the waste, 
and place a copy in the file. The notice must include the information 
indicated in column ``268.7(a)(3)'' of the Generator Paperwork 
Requirements Table in Sec. 268.7(a)(4) and the following certification 
statement, signed by an authorized representative:

    I certify under penalty of law that I personally have examined and 
am familiar with the waste through analysis and testing or through 
knowledge of the waste to support this certification that the waste 
complies with the treatment standards specified in 40 CFR part 268 
subpart D. I believe that the information I submitted is true, accurate, 
and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for 
submitting a false certification, including the possibility of a fine 
and imprisonment.

    (ii) For contaminated soil, with the initial shipment of wastes to 
each treatment, storage, or disposal facility, the generator must send a 
one-time written notice to each facility receiving the waste and place a 
copy in the file. The notice must include the information in 
``268.7(a)(3) of the Generator Paperwork Requirements Table in 
Sec. 268.7(a)(4).
    (4) For reporting, tracking, and recordkeeping when exceptions allow 
certain wastes or contaminated soil that do not meet the treatment 
standards

[[Page 126]]

to be land disposed: There are certain exemptions from the requirement 
that hazardous wastes or contaminated soil meet treatment standards 
before they can be land disposed. These include, but are not limited to 
case-by-case extensions under Sec. 268.5, disposal in a no-migration 
unit under Sec. 268.6, or a national capacity variance or case-by-case 
capacity variance under subpart C of this part. If a generator's waste 
is so exempt, then with the initial shipment of waste, the generator 
must send a one-time written notice to each land disposal facility 
receiving the waste. The notice must include the information indicated 
in column ``268.7(a)(4)'' of the Generator Paperwork Requirements Table 
below. If the waste changes, the generator must send a new notice to the 
receiving facility, and place a copy in their files.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (5) If a generator is managing and treating prohibited waste or 
contaminated soil in tanks, containers, or containment buildings 
regulated under 40 CFR 262.34 to meet applicable LDR treatment standards 
found at Sec. 268.40, the generator must develop and follow a written 
waste analysis plan which describes the procedures they will carry out 
to comply with the treatment standards. (Generators treating hazardous 
debris under the alternative treatment standards of Table 1, 
Sec. 268.45, however, are not subject to these waste analysis 
requirements.) The plan must be kept on site in the generator's records, 
and the following requirements must be met:
    (i) The waste analysis plan must be based on a detailed chemical and 
physical analysis of a representative sample of the prohibited waste(s) 
being treated, and contain all information necessary to treat the 
waste(s) in accordance with the requirements of this part, including the 
selected testing frequency.
    (ii) Such plan must be kept in the facility's on-site files and made 
available to inspectors.
    (iii) Wastes shipped off-site pursuant to this paragraph must comply 
with the notification requirements of Sec. 268.7(a)(3).
    (6) If a generator determines that the waste or contaminated soil is 
restricted based solely on his knowledge of the waste, all supporting 
data used to make this determination must be retained on-site in the 
generator's files. If a generator determines that the waste is 
restricted based on testing

[[Page 127]]

this waste or an extract developed using the test method 1311 in ``Test 
Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA 
Publication SW-846, as referenced in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter, and 
all waste analysis data must be retained on-site in the generator's 
files.
    (7) If a generator determines that he is managing a prohibited waste 
that is excluded from the definition of hazardous or solid waste or is 
exempted from Subtitle C regulation under 40 CFR 261.2 through 261.6 
subsequent to the point of generation (including deactivated 
characteristic hazardous wastes managed in wastewater treatment systems 
subject to the Clean Water Act (CWA) as specified at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(2) 
or that are CWA-equivalent, or are managed in an underground injection 
well regulated by the SDWA), he must place a one-time notice describing 
such generation, subsequent exclusion from the definition of hazardous 
or solid waste or exemption from RCRA Subtitle C regulation, and the 
disposition of the waste, in the facility's on-site files.
    (8) Generators must retain on-site a copy of all notices, 
certifications, waste analysis data, and other documentation produced 
pursuant to this section for at least three years from the date that the 
waste that is the subject of such documentation was last sent to on-site 
or off-site treatment, storage, or disposal. The three year record 
retention period is automatically extended during the course of any 
unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity or as 
requested by the Administrator. The requirements of this paragraph apply 
to solid wastes even when the hazardous characteristic is removed prior 
to disposal, or when the waste is excluded from the definition of 
hazardous or solid waste under 40 CFR 261.2 through 261.6, or exempted 
from Subtitle C regulation, subsequent to the point of generation.
    (9) If a generator is managing a lab pack containing hazardous 
wastes and wishes to use the alternative treatment standard for lab 
packs found at Sec. 268.42(c):
    (i) With the initial shipment of waste to a treatment facility, the 
generator must submit a notice that provides the information in column 
``Sec. 268.7(a)(9)'' in the Generator Paperwork Requirements Table of 
paragraph (a)(4) of this section, and the following certification. The 
certification, which must be signed by an authorized representative and 
must be placed in the generator's files, must say the following:

    I certify under penalty of law that I personally have examined and 
am familiar with the waste and that the lab pack contains only wastes 
that have not been excluded under appendix IV to 40 CFR part 268 and 
that this lab pack will be sent to a combustion facility in compliance 
with the alternative treatment standards for lab packs at 40 CFR 
268.42(c). I am aware that there are significant penalties for 
submitting a false certification, including the possibility of fine or 
imprisonment.

    (ii) No further notification is necessary until such time that the 
wastes in the lab pack change, or the receiving facility changes, in 
which case a new notice and certification must be sent and a copy placed 
in the generator's file.
    (iii) If the lab pack contains characteristic hazardous wastes 
(D001-D043), underlying hazardous constituents (as defined in 
Sec. 268.2(i)) need not be determined.
    (iv) The generator must also comply with the requirements in 
paragraphs (a)(6) and (a)(7) of this section.
    (10) Small quantity generators with tolling agreements pursuant to 
40 CFR 262.20(e) must comply with the applicable notification and 
certification requirements of paragraph (a) of this section for the 
initial shipment of the waste subject to the agreement. Such generators 
must retain on-site a copy of the notification and certification, 
together with the tolling agreement, for at least three years after 
termination or expiration of the agreement. The three-year record 
retention period is automatically extended during the course of any 
unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity or as 
requested by the Administrator.
    (b) Treatment facilities must test their wastes according to the 
frequency specified in their waste analysis plans as required by 40 CFR 
264.13 (for permitted TSDs) or 40 CFR 265.13 (for interim status 
facilities). Such testing

[[Page 128]]

must be performed as provided in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2) and (b)(3) of 
this section.
    (1) For wastes or contaminated soil with treatment standards 
expressed in the waste extract (TCLP), the owner or operator of the 
treatment facility must test an extract of the treatment residues, using 
test method 1311 (the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure, 
described in ``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/
Chemical Methods,'' EPA Publication SW-846 as incorporated by reference 
in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter) to assure that the treatment residues 
extract meet the applicable treatment standards.
    (2) For wastes or contaminated soil with treatment standards 
expressed as concentrations in the waste, the owner or operator of the 
treatment facility must test the treatment residues (not an extract of 
such residues) to assure that they meet the applicable treatment 
standards.
    (3) A one-time notice must be sent with the initial shipment of 
waste or contaminated soil to the land disposal facility. A copy of the 
notice must be placed in the treatment facility's file.
    (i) No further notification is necessary until such time that the 
waste or receiving facility change, in which case a new notice must be 
sent and a copy placed in the treatment facility's file.
    (ii) The one-time notice must include these requirements:

                  Required information                    Sec.  268.7(b)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers and Manifest Number of          
 first shipment.........................................
2. The waste is subject to the LDRs. The constituents of       
 concern for F001-F005, and F039, and underlying
 hazardous constituents in characteristic wastes, unless
 the waste will be treated and monitored for all
 constituents. If all constituents will be treated and
 monitored, there is no need to put them all on the LDR
 notice.................................................
3. The notice must include the applicable wastewater/          
 nonwastewater category (see Secs.  268.2(d) and (f))
 and subdivisions made within a waste code based on
 waste-specific criteria (such as D003 reactive cyanide)
4. Waste analysis data (when available).................       
5. For contaminated soil subject to LDRs as provided in        
 268.49(a), the constituents subject to treatment as
 described in 268.49(d) and the following statement,
 ``this contaminated soil [does/does not] exhibit a
 characteristic of hazardous waste and [is subject to/
 complies with] the soil treatment standards as provided
 by 268.49(c)...........................................
6. A certification is needed (see applicable section for       
 exact wording).........................................
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (4) The treatment facility must submit a one-time certification 
signed by an authorized representative with the initial shipment of 
waste or treatment residue of a restricted waste to the land disposal 
facility. The certification must state:

    I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and 
am familiar with the treatment technology and operation of the treatment 
process used to support this certification. Based on my inquiry of those 
individuals immediately responsible for obtaining this information, I 
believe that the treatment process has been operated and maintained 
properly so as to comply with the treatment standards specified in 40 
CFR 268.40 without impermissible dilution of the prohibited waste. I am 
aware there are significant penalties for submitting a false 
certification, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment.


A certification is also necessary for contaminated soil and it must 
state:

    I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and 
am familiar with the treatment technology and operation of the treatment 
process used to support this certification and believe that it has been 
maintained and operated properly so as to comply with treatment 
standards specified in 40 CFR 268.49 without impermissible dilution of 
the prohibited wastes. I am aware there are significant penalties for 
submitting a false certification, including the possibility of fine and 
imprisonment.

    (i) A copy of the certification must be placed in the treatment 
facility's on-site files. If the waste or treatment residue changes, or 
the receiving facility changes, a new certification must be sent to the 
receiving facility, and a copy placed in the file.
    (ii) Debris excluded from the definition of hazardous waste under 
Sec. 261.3(e) of this chapter (i.e., debris treated by an extraction or 
destruction technology provided by Table 1, Sec. 268.45, and debris that 
the Director has determined does not contain hazardous

[[Page 129]]

waste), however, is subject to the notification and certification 
requirements of paragraph (d) of this section rather than the 
certification requirements of this paragraph.
    (iii) For wastes with organic constituents having treatment 
standards expressed as concentration levels, if compliance with the 
treatment standards is based in whole or in part on the analytical 
detection limit alternative specified in Sec. 268.40(d), the 
certification, signed by an authorized representative, must state the 
following:

    I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and 
am familiar with the treatment technology and operation of the treatment 
process used to support this certification. Based on my inquiry of those 
individuals immediately responsible for obtaining this information, I 
believe that the nonwastewater organic constituents have been treated by 
combustion units as specified in 268.42, Table 1. I have been unable to 
detect the nonwastewater organic constituents, despite having used best 
good-faith efforts to analyze for such constituents. I am aware there 
are significant penalties for submitting a false certification, 
including the possibility of fine and imprisonment.

    (iv) For characteristic wastes that are subject to the treatment 
standards in Sec. 268.40 (other than those expressed as a method of 
treatment), or Sec. 268.49, and that contain underlying hazardous 
constituents as defined in Sec. 268.2(i); if these wastes are treated 
on-site to remove the hazardous characteristic; and are then sent off-
site for treatment of underlying hazardous constituents, the 
certification must state the following:

    I certify under penalty of law that the waste has been treated in 
accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 268.40 or 268.49 to remove 
the hazardous characteristic. This decharacterized waste contains 
underlying hazardous constituents that require further treatment to meet 
treatment standards. I am aware that there are significant penalties for 
submitting a false certification, including the possibility of fine and 
imprisonment.

    (v) For characteristic wastes that contain underlying hazardous 
constituents as defined Sec. 268.2(i) that are treated on-site to remove 
the hazardous characteristic to treat underlying hazardous constituents 
to levels in Sec. 268.48 Universal Treatment Standards, the 
certification must state the following:

    I certify under penalty of law that the waste has been treated in 
accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 268.40 to remove the 
hazardous characteristic and that underlying hazardous constituents, as 
defined in Sec. 268.2(i) have been treated on-site to meet the 
Sec. 268.48 Universal Treatment Standards. I am aware that there are 
significant penalties for submitting a false certification, including 
the possibility of fine and imprisonment.

    (5) If the waste or treatment residue will be further managed at a 
different treatment, storage, or disposal facility, the treatment, 
storage, or disposal facility sending the waste or treatment residue 
off-site must comply with the notice and certification requirements 
applicable to generators under this section.
    (6) Where the wastes are recyclable materials used in a manner 
constituting disposal subject to the provisions of Sec. 268.20(b) 
regarding treatment standards and prohibition levels, the owner or 
operator of a treatment facility (i.e., the recycler) is not required to 
notify the receiving facility, pursuant to paragraph (b)(3) of this 
section. With each shipment of such wastes the owner or operator of the 
recycling facility must submit a certification described in paragraph 
(b)(4) of this section, and a notice which includes the information 
listed in paragraph (b)(3) of this section (except the manifest number) 
to the Regional Administrator, or his delegated representative. The 
recycling facility also must keep records of the name and location of 
each entity receiving the hazardous waste-derived product.
    (c) Except where the owner or operator is disposing of any waste 
that is a recyclable material used in a manner constituting disposal 
pursuant to 40 CFR 266.20(b), the owner or operator of any land disposal 
facility disposing any waste subject to restrictions under this part 
must:
    (1) Have copies of the notice and certifications specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section.
    (2) Test the waste, or an extract of the waste or treatment residue 
developed using test method 1311 (the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching 
Procedure), described in ``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, 
Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA Publication SW-846 as incorporated by 
reference in

[[Page 130]]

Sec. 260.11 of this chapter), to assure that the wastes or treatment 
residues are in compliance with the applicable treatment standards set 
forth in subpart D of this part. Such testing must be performed 
according to the frequency specified in the facility's waste analysis 
plan as required by Sec. 264.13 or Sec. 265.13 of this chapter.
    (d) Generators or treaters who first claim that hazardous debris is 
excluded from the definition of hazardous waste under Sec. 261.3(e) of 
this chapter (i.e., debris treated by an extraction or destruction 
technology provided by Table 1, Sec. 268.45, and debris that the EPA 
Regional Administrator (or his designated representative) or State 
authorized to implement part 268 requirements has determined does not 
contain hazardous waste) are subject to the following notification and 
certification requirements:
    (1) A one-time notification, including the following information, 
must be submitted to the EPA Regional hazardous waste management 
division director (or his designated representative) or State authorized 
to implement part 268 requirements, or State authorized to implement 
part 268 requirements:
    (2) The notification must be updated if the debris is shipped to a 
different facility, and, for debris excluded under Sec. 261.2(e)(1) of 
this chapter, if a different type of debris is treated or if a different 
technology is used to treat the debris.
    (3) For debris excluded under Sec. 261.3(e)(1) of this chapter, the 
owner or operator of the treatment facility must document and certify 
compliance with the treatment standards of Table 1, Sec. 268.45, as 
follows:
    (i) Records must be kept of all inspections, evaluations, and 
analyses of treated debris that are made to determine compliance with 
the treatment standards;
    (ii) Records must be kept of any data or information the treater 
obtains during treatment of the debris that identifies key operating 
parameters of the treatment unit; and
    (iii) For each shipment of treated debris, a certification of 
compliance with the treatment standards must be signed by an authorized 
representative and placed in the facility's files. The certification 
must state the following: ``I certify under penalty of law that the 
debris has been treated in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 
268.45. I am aware that there are significant penalties for making a 
false certification, including the possibility of fine and 
imprisonment.''
    (e) Generators and treaters who first receive from EPA or an 
authorized state a determination that a given contaminated soil subject 
to LDRs as provided in Sec. 268.49(a) no longer contains a listed 
hazardous waste and generators and treaters who first determine that a 
contaminated soil subject to LDRs as provided in Sec. 268.49(a) no 
longer exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste must:
    (1) Prepare a one-time only documentation of these determinations 
including all supporting information; and,
    (2) Maintain that information in the facility files and other 
records for a minimum of three years.

Sec. 268.8  [Reserved]



Sec. 268.9  Special rules regarding wastes that exhibit a characteristic.

    (a) The initial generator of a solid waste must determine each EPA 
Hazardous Waste Number (waste code) applicable to the waste in order to 
determine the applicable treatment standards under subpart D of this 
part. For purposes of part 268, the waste will carry the waste code for 
any applicable listed waste (Part 261, Subpart D). In addition, where 
the waste exhibits a characteristic, the waste will carry one or more of 
the characteristic waste codes (Part 261, Subpart C), except when the 
treatment standard for the listed waste operates in lieu of the

[[Page 131]]

treatment standard for the characteristic waste, as specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section. If the generator determines that their 
waste displays a hazardous characteristic (and is not D001 
nonwastewaters treated by CMBST, RORGS, OR POLYM of Sec. 268.42, Table 
1), the generator must determine the underlying hazardous constituents 
(as defined at Sec. 268.2(i)) in the characteristic waste.
    (b) Where a prohibited waste is both listed under 40 CFR part 261, 
subpart D and exhibits a characteristic under 40 CFR part 261, subpart 
C, the treatment standard for the waste code listed in 40 CFR part 261, 
subpart D will operate in lieu of the standard for the waste code under 
40 CFR part 261, subpart C, provided that the treatment standard for the 
listed waste includes a treatment standard for the constituent that 
causes the waste to exhibit the characteristic. Otherwise, the waste 
must meet the treatment standards for all applicable listed and 
characteristic waste codes.
    (c) In addition to any applicable standards determined from the 
initial point of generation, no prohibited waste which exhibits a 
characteristic under 40 CFR part 261, subpart C may be land disposed 
unless the waste complies with the treatment standards under subpart D 
of this part.
    (d) Wastes that exhibit a characteristic are also subject to 
Sec. 268.7 requirements, except that once the waste is no longer 
hazardous, a one-time notification and certification must be placed in 
the generators or treaters files and sent to the EPA region or 
authorized state. The notification and certification that is placed in 
the generators or treaters files must be updated if the process or 
operation generating the waste changes and/or if the subtitle D facility 
receiving the waste changes. However, the generator or treater need only 
notify the EPA region or an authorized state on an annual basis if such 
changes occur. Such notification and certification should be sent to the 
EPA region or authorized state by the end of the calendar year, but no 
later that December 31.
    (1) The notification must include the following information:
    (i) Name and address of the RCRA Subtitle D facility receiving the 
waste shipment; and
    (ii) A description of the waste as initially generated, including 
the applicable EPA hazardous waste code(s), treatability group(s), and 
underlying hazardous constituents (as defined in Sec. 268.2(i)), unless 
the waste will be treated and monitored for all underlying hazardous 
constituents. If all underlying hazardous constituents will be treated 
and monitored, there is no requirement to list any of the underlying 
hazardous constituents on the notice.
    (2) The certification must be signed by an authorized representative 
and must state the language found in Sec. 268.7(b)(4).
    (i) If treatment removes the characteristic but does not meet 
standards applicable to underlying hazardous constituents, then the 
certification found in Sec. 268.7(b)(4)(iv) applies.

                     Subpart D--Treatment Standards



Sec. 268.40  Applicability of treatment standards.

    (a) A prohibited waste identified in the table ``Treatment Standards 
for Hazardous Wastes'' may be land disposed only if it meets the 
requirements found in the table. For each waste, the table identifies 
one of three types of treatment standard requirements:
    (1) All hazardous constituents in the waste or in the treatment 
residue must be at or below the values found in the table for that waste 
(``total waste standards''); or
    (2) The hazardous constituents in the extract of the waste or in the 
extract of the treatment residue must be at or below the values found in 
the table (``waste extract standards''); or
    (3) The waste must be treated using the technology specified in the 
table (``technology standard''), which are described in detail in 
Sec. 268.42, Table 1--Technology Codes and Description of Technology-
Based Standards.
    (b) For wastewaters, compliance with concentration level standards 
is based on maximums for any one day, except for D004 through D011 
wastes for which the previously promulgated treatment standards based on 
grab samples remain in effect. For all nonwastewaters, compliance with 
concentration level standards is based on grab sampling. For wastes 
covered by the waste extract standards, the test Method 1311, the 
Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure found in ``Test Methods for 
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods'', EPA Publication SW-
846, as incorporated by reference in Sec. 260.11, must be used to 
measure compliance. An exception is made for D004 and D008, for which 
either of two test methods may be used: Method 1311, or Method 1310, the 
Extraction Procedure Toxicity Test. For wastes covered by a technology 
standard, the wastes may be land disposed after being treated using that 
specified technology or an equivalent treatment technology approved by 
the Administrator under the procedures set forth in Sec. 268.42(b).
    (c) When wastes with differing treatment standards for a constituent 
of concern are combined for purposes of treatment, the treatment residue 
must meet the lowest treatment standard for the constituent of concern.
    (d) Notwithstanding the prohibitions specified in paragraph (a) of 
this section, treatment and disposal facilities may demonstrate (and 
certify pursuant to 40 CFR 268.7(b)(5)) compliance with the treatment 
standards for organic constituents specified by a footnote in the table 
``Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes'' in this section, provided 
the following conditions are satisfied:
    (1) The treatment standards for the organic constituents were 
established based on incineration in units operated in accordance with 
the technical requirements of 40 CFR part 264, subpart O, or based on 
combustion in fuel substitution units operating in accordance with 
applicable technical requirements;
    (2) The treatment or disposal facility has used the methods 
referenced in paragraph (d)(1) of this section to treat the organic 
constituents; and
    (3) The treatment or disposal facility may demonstrate compliance 
with organic constituents if good-faith analytical efforts achieve 
detection limits for the regulated organic constituents that do not 
exceed the treatment standards specified in this section by an order of 
magnitude.
    (e) For characteristic wastes (D001-D043) that are subject to 
treatment

standards in the following table ``Treatment Standards for Hazardous 
Wastes,'' and are not managed in a wastewater treatment system that is 
regulated under the Clean Water Act (CWA), that is CWA-equivalent, or 
that is injected into a Class I nonhazardous deep injection well, all 
underlying hazardous constituents (as defined in Sec. 268.2(i)) must 
meet Universal Treatment Standards, found in Sec. 268.48, Table 
Universal Treatment Standards, prior to land disposal as defined in 
Sec. 268.2(c) of this part.
    (f) The treatment standards for F001-F005 nonwastewater constituents 
carbon disulfide, cyclohexanone, and/or methanol apply to wastes which 
contain only one, two, or three of these constituents. Compliance is 
measured for these constituents in the waste extract from test Method 
1311, the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure found in ``Test 
Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods'', EPA 
Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in Sec. 260.11. If the 
waste contains any of these three constituents along with any of the 
other 25 constituents found in F001-F005, then compliance with treatment 
standards for carbon disulfide, cyclohexanone, and/or methanol are not 
required.
    (g) Between August 26, 1996 and March 4, 1999 the treatment 
standards for the wastes specified in 40 CFR 261.32 as EPA Hazardous 
Waste numbers K156-K161; and in 40 CFR 261.33 as EPA Hazardous Waste 
numbers P127, P128, P185, P188-P192, P194, P196-P199, P201-P205, U271, 
U277-U280, U364-U367, U372, U373, U375-U379, U381-U387, U389-U396, U400-
U404, U407, and U409-U411; and soil contaminated with these wastes; may 
be satisfied by either meeting the constituent concentrations presented 
in the table ``Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes'' in this 
section, or by treating the waste by the following technologies: 
combustion, as defined by the technology code CMBST at Sec. 268.42 Table 
1, for nonwastewaters; and, biodegradation as definded 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 Sec. 268.42 Table 1, 
for wastewaters.
    (h) Prohibited D004-D011 mixed radioactive wastes and mixed 
radioactive listed wastes containing metal constituents, that were 
previously treated by stabilization to the treatment standards in effect 
at that time and then put into storage, do not have to be re-treated to 
meet treatment standards in this section prior to land disposal.
    (i) Zinc micronutrient fertilizers that are produced for the general 
public's use and that are produced from or contain recycled 
characteristic hazardous wastes (D004-D011) are subject to the 
applicable treatment standards in Sec. 268.41 contained in the 40 CFR, 
parts 260 to 299, edition revised as of July 1, 1990.
    (j) Zinc-containing fertilizers that are produced for the general 
public's use and that are produced from or contain recycled 
characteristic hazardous wastes (D004-D011) are subject to the 
applicable treatment standards in Sec. 268.41 contained in the 40 CFR, 
parts 260 to 299, edition revised as of July 1, 1990.

    Footnotes to Treatment Standard Table 268.40
    \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.

[[Page 260]]

    \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 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 9010 or 9012, 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 Sec. 268.1(c)(3) and (4)).
    \9\ These wastes, when rendered nonhazardous and then subsequently 
injected in a Class I SDWA well, are not subject to treatment standards. 
(See Sec. 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 Sec. 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 Sec. 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).

ADGAS:                  Venting of compressed gases into an absorbing or
                         reacting media (i.e., solid or liquid)--venting
                         can be accomplished through physical release
                         utilizing valves/piping; physical penetration
                         of the container; and/or penetration through
                         detonation.
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, semi-solid amalgam and thereby
                         reducing potential emissions of elemental
                         mercury vapors to the air.
BIODG:                  Biodegradation of organics or non-metallic
                         inorganics (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 powdered) of
                         non-metallic 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 the adsorption 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 includes what
                         is commonly referred to as alkaline
                         chlorination.
CHRED:                  Chemical reduction utilizing the following

                         workers from potential violent reactions as
                         well as precautionary controls for potential
                         emissions of toxic/ignitable levels of gases
                         released during the reaction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1: When a combination of these technologies (i.e., a treatment
  train) is specified as a single treatment standard, the order of
  application is specified in Sec.  268.42, Table 2 by indicating the
  five letter technology code that must be applied first, then the
  designation ``fb.'' (an abbreviation for ``followed by''), then the
  five letter technology code for the technology that must be applied
  next, and so on.
Note 2: When more than one technology (or treatment train) are specified
  as alternative treatment standards, the five letter technology codes
  (or the treatment trains) are separated by a semicolon (;) with the
  last technology preceded by the word ``OR''. This indicates that any
  one of these BDAT technologies or treatment trains can be used for
  compliance with the standard.

    (b) Any person may submit an application to the Administrator 
demonstrating that an alternative treatment method can achieve a measure 
of performance equivalent to that achieved by methods specified in 
paragraphs (a), (c), and (d) of this section for wastes or specified in 
Table 1 of Sec. 268.45 for hazardous debris. The applicant must submit 
information demonstrating that his treatment method is in compliance 
with federal, state, and local requirements and is protective of human 
health and the environment. On the basis of such information and any 
other available information, the Administrator may approve the use of 
the alternative treatment method if

[[Page 263]]

he finds that the alternative treatment method provides a measure of 
performance equivalent to that achieved by methods specified in 
paragraphs (a), (c), and (d) of this section for wastes or in Table 1 of 
Sec. 268.45 for hazardous debris. Any approval must be stated in writing 
and may contain such provisions and conditions as the Administrator 
deems appropriate. The person to whom such approval is issued must 
comply with all limitations contained in such a determination.
    (c) As an alternative to the otherwise applicable subpart D 
treatment standards, lab packs are eligible for land disposal provided 
the following requirements are met:
    (1) The lab packs comply with the applicable provisions of 40 CFR 
264.316 and 40 CFR 265.316;
    (2) The lab pack does not contain any of the wastes listed in 
Appendix IV to part 268;
    (3) The lab packs are incinerated in accordance with the 
requirements of 40 CFR part 264, subpart O or 40 CFR part 265, subpart 
O; and
    (4) Any incinerator residues from lab packs containing D004, D005, 
D006, D007, D008, D010, and D011 are treated in compliance with the 
applicable treatment standards specified for such wastes in subpart D of 
this part.
    (d) Radioactive hazardous mixed wastes are subject to the treatment 
standards in Sec. 268.40. Where treatment standards are specified for 
radioactive mixed wastes in the Table of Treatment Standards, those 
treatment standards will govern. Where there is no specific treatment 
standard for radioactive mixed waste, the treatment standard for the 
hazardous waste (as designated by EPA waste code) applies. Hazardous

Sec. 268.44  Variance from a treatment standard.

    (a) Based on a petition filed by a generator or treater of hazardous 
waste, the Administrator may approve a variance from an applicable 
treatment standard if:
    (1) It is not physically possible to treat the waste to the level 
specified in the treatment standard, or by the method specified as the 
treatment standard. To show that this is the case, the petitioner must 
demonstrate that because the physical or chemical properties of the 
waste differ significantly from waste analyzed in developing the 
treatment standard, the waste cannot be treated to the specified level 
or by the specified method; or
    (2) It is inappropriate to require the waste to be treated to the 
level specified in the treatment standard or by the method specified as 
the treatment standard, even though such treatment is technically 
possible. To show that this is the case, the petitioner must either 
demonstrate that:
    (i) Treatment to the specified level or by the specified method is 
technically inappropriate (for example, resulting in combustion of large 
amounts of mildly contaminated environmental media); or
    (ii) For remediation waste only, treatment to the specified level or 
by the specified method is environmentally inappropriate because it 
would likely discourage aggressive remediation.
    (b) Each petition must be submitted in accordance with the 
procedures in Sec. 260.20.
    (c) Each petition must include the following statement signed by the 
petitioner or an authorized representative:

    I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and 
am familiar with the information submitted in this petition and all 
attached documents, and that, based

[[Page 264]]

on my inquiry of those individuals immediately responsible for obtaining 
the information, I believe that the submitted information is true, 
accurate, and complete. I am aware that these are significant penalties 
for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and 
imprisonment.

    (d) After receiving a petition for variance from a treatment 
standard, the Administrator may request any additional information or 
samples which he may require to evaluate the petition. Additional copies 
of the complete petition may be requested as needed to send to affected 
states and Regional Offices.
    (e) The Administrator will give public notice in the Federal 
Register of the intent to approve or deny a petition and provide an 
opportunity for public comment. The final decision on a variance from a 
treatment standard will be published in the Federal Register.
    (f) A generator, treatment facility, or disposal facility that is 
managing a waste covered by a variance from the treatment standards must 
comply with the waste analysis requirements for restricted wastes found 
under Sec. 268.7.
    (g) During the petition review process, the applicant is required to 
comply with all restrictions on land disposal under this part once the 
effective date for the waste has been reached.
    (h) Based on a petition filed by a generator or treater of hazardous 
waste, the Administrator or his or her delegated representative may 
approve a site-specific variance from an applicable treatment standard 
if:
    (1) It is not physically possible to treat the waste to the level 
specified in the treatment standard, or by the method specified as the 
treatment standard. To show that this is the case, the petitioner must 
demonstrate that because the physical or chemical properties of the 
waste differ significantly from waste analyzed in developing the 
treatment standard, the waste cannot be treated to the specified level 
or by the specified method; or
    (2) It is inappropriate to require the waste to be treated to the 
level specified in the treatment standard or by the method specified as 
the treatment standard, even though such treatment is technically 
possible. To show that this is the case, the petitioner must either 
demonstrate that:
    (i) Treatment to the specified level or by the specified method is 
technically inappropriate (for example, resulting in combustion of large 
amounts of mildly contaminated environmental media where the treatment 
standard is not based on combustion of such media); or
    (ii) For remediation waste only, treatment to the specified level or 
by the specified method is environmentally inappropriate because it 
would likely discourage aggressive remediation.
    (3) For contaminated soil only, treatment to the level or by the 
method specified in the soil treatment standards would result in 
concentrations of hazardous constituents that are below (i.e., lower 
than) the concentrations necessary to minimize short- and long-term 
threats to human health and the environment. Treatment variances 
approved under this paragraph must:
    (i) At a minimum, impose alternative land disposal restriction 
treatment standards that, using a reasonable maximum exposure scenario:
    (A) For carcinogens, achieve constituent concentrations that result 
in the total excess risk to an individual exposed over a lifetime 
generally falling within a range from 10 -4 to 10 
-6; and
    (B) For constituents with non-carcinogenic effects, achieve 
constituent concentrations that an individual could be exposed to on a 
daily basis without appreciable risk of deleterious effect during a 
lifetime.
    (ii) Not consider post-land-disposal controls.
    (4) For contaminated soil only, treatment to the level or by the 
method specified in the soil treatment standards would result in 
concentrations of hazardous constituents that are below (i.e., lower 
than) natural background concentrations at the site where the 
contaminated soil will land disposed.
    (5) Public notice and a reasonable opportunity for public comment 
must be provided before granting or denying a petition.
    (i) Each application for a site-specific variance from a treatment 
standard

[[Page 265]]

must include the information in Sec. 260.20(b)(1)-(4);
    (j) After receiving an application for a site-specific variance from 
a treatment standard, the Assistant Administrator, or his delegated 
representative, may request any additional information or samples which 
may be required to evaluate the application.
    (k) A generator, treatment facility, or disposal facility that is 
managing a waste covered by a site-specific variance from a treatment 
standard must comply with the waste analysis requirements for restricted 
wastes found under Sec. 268.7.
    (l) During the application review process, the applicant for a site-
specific variance must comply with all restrictions on land disposal 
under this part once the effective date for the waste has been reached.
    (m) For all variances, the petitioner must also demonstrate that 
compliance with any given treatment variance is sufficient to minimize 
threats to human health and the environment posed by land disposal of 
the waste. In evaluating this demonstration, EPA may take into account 
whether a treatment variance should be approved if the subject waste is 
to be used in a manner constituting disposal pursuant to 40 CFR 266.20 
through 266.23.
    (n) [Reserved]
    (o) The following facilities are excluded from the treatment 
standards under Sec. 268.40, and are subject to the following 
constituent concentrations:

Sec. 268.45  Treatment standards for hazardous debris.

    (a) Treatment standards. Hazardous debris must be treated prior to 
land disposal as follows unless EPA determines under Sec. 261.3(f)(2) of 
this chapter that the debris is no longer contaminated with hazardous 
waste or the debris is treated to the waste-specific treatment standard 
provided in this subpart for the waste contaminating the debris:
    (1) General. Hazardous debris must be treated for each ``contaminant 
subject to treatment'' defined by paragraph (b) of this section using 
the technology or technologies identified in Table 1 of this section.
    (2) Characteristic debris. Hazardous debris that exhibits the 
characteristic of ignitability, corrosivity, or reactivity identified 
under Secs. 261.21, 261.22, and 261.23 of this chapter, respectively, 
must be deactivated by treatment using one of the technologies 
identified in Table 1 of this section.
    (3) Mixtures of debris types. The treatment standards of Table 1 in 
this section must be achieved for each type of debris contained in a 
mixture of debris types. If an immobilization technology is used in a 
treatment train, it must be the last treatment technology used.
    (4) Mixtures of contaminant types. Debris that is contaminated with 
two or more contaminants subject to treatment identified under paragraph 
(b) of this section must be treated for each contaminant using one or 
more treatment technologies identified in Table 1 of this section. If an 
immobilization technology is used in a treatment train, it must be the 
last treatment technology used.
    (5) Waste PCBs. Hazardous debris that is also a waste PCB under 40 
CFR part 761 is subject to the requirements of either 40 CFR part 761 or 
the requirements of this section, whichever are more stringent.
    (b) Contaminants subject to treatment. Hazardous debris must be 
treated for each ``contaminant subject to treatment.'' The contaminants 
subject to treatment must be determined as follows:
    (1) Toxicity characteristic debris. The contaminants subject to 
treatment for debris that exhibits the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) by 
Sec. 261.24 of this chapter are those EP constituents for which the 
debris exhibits the TC toxicity characteristic.
    (2) Debris contaminated with listed waste. The contaminants subject 
to treatment for debris that is contaminated with a prohibited listed 
hazardous waste are those constituents or wastes for which treatment 
standards are established for the waste under Sec. 268.40.
    (3) Cyanide reactive debris. Hazardous debris that is reactive 
because of cyanide must be treated for cyanide.
    (c) Conditioned exclusion of treated debris. Hazardous debris that 
has been treated using one of the specified extraction or destruction 
technologies in Table 1 of this section and that does not exhibit a 
characteristic of hazardous waste identified under subpart C, part 261, 
of this chapter after treatment is not a hazardous waste and need not be 
managed in a subtitle C facility. Hazardous debris contaminated with a 
listed waste that is treated by an immobilization technology specified 
in Table 1 is a hazardous waste and must be managed in a subtitle C 
facility.
    (d) Treatment residuals--(1) General requirements. Except as 
provided by paragraphs (d)(2) and (d)(4) of this section:
    (i) Residue from the treatment of hazardous debris must be separated 
from the treated debris using simple physical or mechanical means; and
    (ii) Residue from the treatment of hazardous debris is subject to 
the waste-specific treatment standards provided by subpart D of this 
part for the waste contaminating the debris.
    (2) Nontoxic debris. Residue from the deactivation of ignitable, 
corrosive, or reactive characteristic hazardous debris (other than 
cyanide-reactive) that is not contaminated with a contaminant subject to 
treatment defined by paragraph (b) of this section, must be deactivated 
prior to land disposal and is not subject to the waste-specific 
treatment standards of subpart D of this part.
    (3) Cyanide-reactive debris. Residue from the treatment of debris 
that is reactive because of cyanide must meet the treatment standards 
for D003 in ``Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes'' at Sec. 268.40.

[[Page 268]]

    (4) Ignitable nonwastewater residue. Ignitable nonwastewaster 
residue containing equal to or greater than 10% total organic carbon is 
subject to the technology specified in the treatment standard for D001: 
Ignitable Liquids.
    (5) Residue from spalling. Layers of debris removed by spalling are 
hazardous debris that remain subject to the treatment standards of this 
section.

   Application of surface      material must
   coating materials such as   completely
   polymeric organics (e.g.,   encapsulate debris

   use of a jacket of inert    degradation by the
   inorganic materials to      debris and its
   substantially reduce        contaminants and
   surface exposure to         materials into
   potential leaching media.   which it may come
                               into contact after
                               placement
                               (leachate, other
                               waste, microbes).
  2. Microencapsulation:      Leachability of the   None.
   Stabilization of the        hazardous
   debris with the following   contaminants must
   reagents (or waste          be reduced.
   reagents) such that the
   leachability of the
   hazardous contaminants is
   reduced: (1) Portland
   cement; or (2) lime/
   pozzolans (e.g., fly ash
   and cement kiln dust).
   Reagents (e.g., iron
   salts, silicates, and
   clays) may be added to
   enhance the set/cure time
   and/or compressive
   strength, or to reduce
   the leachability of the
   hazardous
   constituents.\5\
  3. Sealing: Application of  Sealing must avoid    None.

   compounds, but paint may
   not be used as a sealant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Hazardous debris must be treated by either these standards or the
  waste-specific treatment standards for the waste contaminating the
  debris. The treatment standards must be met for each type of debris
  contained in a mixture of debris types, unless the debris is converted
  into treatment residue as a result of the treatment process. Debris
  treatment residuals are subject to the waste-specific treatment
  standards for the waste contaminating the debris.
\2\ Contaminant restriction means that the technology is not BDAT for
  that contaminant. If debris containing a restricted contaminant is
  treated by the technology, the contaminant must be subsequently
  treated by a technology for which it is not restricted in order to be
  land disposed (and excluded from Subtitle C regulation).
\3\ ``Clean debris surface'' means the surface, when viewed without
  magnification, shall be free of all visible contaminated soil and
  hazardous waste except that residual staining from soil and waste
  consisting of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discolorations,
  and soil and waste in cracks, crevices, and pits may be present
  provided that such staining and waste and soil in cracks, crevices,
  and pits shall be limited to no more than 5% of each square inch of
  surface area.

[[Page 271]]

 
\4\ Acids, solvents, and chemical reagents may react with some debris
  and contaminants to form hazardous compounds. For example, acid
  washing of cyanide-contaminated debris could result in the formation
  of hydrogen cyanide. Some acids may also react violently with some
  debris and contaminants, depending on the concentration of the acid
  and the type of debris and contaminants. Debris treaters should refer
  to the safety precautions specified in Material Safety Data Sheets for
  various acids to avoid applying an incompatible acid to a particular
  debris/contaminant combination. For example, concentrated sulfuric
  acid may react violently with certain organic compounds, such as
  acrylonitrile.
\5\ If reducing the particle size of debris to meet the treatment
  standards results in material that no longer meets the 60 mm minimum
  particle size limit for debris, such material is subject to the waste-
  specific treatment standards for the waste contaminating the material,
  unless the debris has been cleaned and separated from contaminated
  soil and waste prior to size reduction. At a minimum, simple physical
  or mechanical means must be used to provide such cleaning and
  separation of nondebris materials to ensure that the debris surface is
  free of caked soil, waste, or other nondebris material.
\6\ Dioxin-listed wastes are EPA Hazardous Waste numbers FO20, FO21,
  FO22, FO23, FO26, and FO27.
\7\ Thermal desorption is distinguished from Thermal Destruction in that
  the primary purpose of Thermal Desorption is to volatilize
  contaminants and to remove them from the treatment chamber for
  subsequent destruction or other treatment.
\8\ The demonstration ``Equivalent Technology'' under Sec.  268.42(b)
  must document that the technology treats contaminants subject to
  treatment to a level equivalent to that required by the performance
  and design and operating standards for other technologies in this
  table such that residual levels of hazardous contaminants will not
  pose a hazard to human health and the environment absent management
  controls.
\9\ Any soil, waste, and other nondebris material that remains on the
  debris surface (or remains mixed with the debris) after treatment is
  considered a treatment residual that must be separated from the debris
  using, at a minimum, simple physical or mechanical means. Examples of
  simple physical or mechanical means are vibratory or trommel screening
  or water washing. The debris surface need not be cleaned to a ``clean
  debris surface'' as defined in note 3 when separating treated debris
  from residue; rather, the surface must be free of caked soil, waste,
  or other nondebris material. Treatment residuals are subject to the
  waste-specific treatment standards for the waste contaminating the
  debris.

 soil*.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* For dates of LDR applicability, see 40 CFR Part 268 Appendix VII. To determine the date any given listed
  hazardous waste contaminated any given volume of soil, use the last date any given listed hazardous waste was
  placed into any given land disposal unit or, in the case of an accidental spill, the date of the spill.

    (b) Prior to land disposal, contaminated soil identified by 
paragraph (a) of this section as needing to comply with LDRs must be 
treated according to the applicable treatment standards specified in 
paragraph (c) of this section or according to the Universal Treatment 
Standards specified in 40 CFR 268.48 applicable to the contaminating 
listed hazardous waste and/or the applicable characteristic of hazardous 
waste if the soil is characteristic. The treatment standards specified 
in paragraph (c) of this section and the Universal Treatment Standards 
may be modified through a treatment variance approved in accordance with 
40 CFR 268.44.
    (c) Treatment standards for contaminated soils. Prior to land 
disposal, contaminated soil identified by paragraph (a) of this section 
as needing to comply with LDRs must be treated according to all the 
standards specified in this paragraph or according to the Universal 
Treatment Standards specified in 40 CFR 268.48.
    (1) All soils. Prior to land disposal, all constituents subject to 
treatment must be treated as follows:
    (A) For non-metals, treatment must achieve 90 percent reduction in 
total constituent concentrations, except as provided by paragraph 
(c)(1)(C) of this section.
    (B) For metals, treatment must achieve 90 percent reduction in 
constituent concentrations as measured in leachate from the treated 
media (tested according to the TCLP) or 90 percent reduction in total 
constituent concentrations (when a metal removal treatment technology is 
used), except as provided by paragraph (c)(1)(C) of this section.
    (C) When treatment of any constituent subject to treatment to a 90 
percent reduction standard would result in a concentration less than 10 
times the Universal Treatment Standard for that constituent, treatment 
to achieve constituent concentrations less than 10 times the universal 
treatment standard is not required. Universal Treatment Standards are 
identified in 40 CFR 268.48 Table UTS.
    (2) Soils that exhibit the characteristic of ignitability, 
corrosivity or reactivity. In addition to the treatment required by 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section, prior to

[[Page 285]]

land disposal, soils that exhibit the characteristic of ignitability, 
corrosivity, or reactivity must be treated to eliminate these 
characteristics.
    (3) Soils that contain nonanalyzable constituents. In addition to 
the treatment requirements of paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section, 
prior to land disposal, the following treatment is required for soils 
that contain nonanalyzable constituents:
    (A) For soil that contains only analyzable and nonanalyzable organic 
constituents, treatment of the analyzable organic constituents to the 
levels specified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section; or,
    (B) For soil that contains only nonanalyzable constituents, 
treatment by the method(s) specified in Sec. 268.42 for the waste 
contained in the soil.
    (d) Constituents subject to treatment. When applying the soil 
treatment standards in paragraph (c) of this section, constituents 
subject to treatment are any constituents listed in 40 CFR 268.48, Table 
UTS--Universal Treatment Standards that are reasonably expected to be 
present in any given volume of contaminated soil, except fluoride, 
selenium, sulfides, vanadium and zinc, and are present at concentrations 
greater than ten times the universal treatment standard.
    (e) Management of treatment residuals. Treatment residuals from 
treating contaminated soil identified by paragraph (a) of this section 
as needing to comply with LDRs must be managed as follows:
    (1) Soil residuals are subject to the treatment standards of this 
section;
    (2) Non-soil residuals are subject to:
    (A) For soils contaminated by listed hazardous waste, the RCRA 
Subtitle C standards applicable to the listed hazardous waste; and
    (B) For soils that exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste, if 
the non-soil residual also exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste, 
the treatment standards applicable to the characteristic hazardous 
waste.

                   Subpart E--Prohibitions on Storage



Sec. 268.50  Prohibitions on storage of restricted wastes.

    (a) Except as provided in this section, the storage of hazardous 
wastes restricted from land disposal under subpart C of this part of 
RCRA section 3004 is prohibited, unless the following conditions are 
met:
    (1) A generator stores such wastes in tanks, containers, or 
containment buildings on-site solely for the purpose of the accumulation 
of such quantities of hazardous waste as necessary to facilitate proper 
recovery, treatment, or disposal and the generator complies with the 
requirements in Sec. 262.34 and parts 264 and 265 of this chapter.
    (2) An owner/operator of a hazardous waste treatment, storage, or 
disposal facility stores such wastes in tanks, containers, or 
containment buildings solely for the purpose of the accumulation of such 
quantities of hazardous waste as necessary to facilitate proper 
recovery, treatment, or disposal and:
    (i) Each container is clearly marked to identify its contents and 
the date each period of accumulation begins;
    (ii) Each tank is clearly marked with a description of its contents, 
the quantity of each hazardous waste received, and the date each period 
of accumulation begins, or such information for each tank is recorded 
and maintained in the operating record at that facility. Regardless of 
whether the tank itself is marked, an owner/operator must comply with 
the operating record requirements specified in Sec. 264.73 or 
Sec. 265.73.
    (3) A transporter stores manifested shipments of such wastes at a 
transfer facility for 10 days or less.
    (b) An owner/operator of a treatment, storage or disposal facility 
may store such wastes for up to one year unless the Agency can 
demonstrate that such storage was not solely for the purpose of 
accumulation of such quantities of hazardous waste as are necessary to 
facilitate proper recovery, treatment, or disposal.
    (c) A owner/operator of a treatment, storage or disposal facility 
may store such wastes beyond one year; however, the owner/operator bears 
the burden of proving that such storage was solely for the purpose of 
accumulation of such

[[Page 286]]

quantities of hazardous waste as are necessary to facilitate proper 
recovery, treatment, or disposal.
    (d) If a generator's waste is exempt from a prohibition on the type 
of land disposal utilized for the waste (for example, because of an 
approved case-by-case extension under Sec. 268.5, an approved Sec. 268.6 
petition, or a national capacity variance under subpart C), the 
prohibition in paragraph (a) of this section does not apply during the 
period of such exemption.
    (e) The prohibition in paragraph (a) of this section does not apply 
to hazardous wastes that meet the treatment standards specified under 
Secs. 268.41, 268.42, and 268.43 or the treatment standards specified 
under the variance in Sec. 268.44, or, where treatment standards have 
not been specified, is in compliance with the applicable prohibitions 
specified in Sec. 268.32 or RCRA section 3004.
    (f) Liquid hazardous wastes containing polychlorinated biphenyls 
(PCBs) at concentrations greater than or equal to 50 ppm must be stored 
at a facility that meets the requirements of 40 CFR 761.65(b) and must 
be removed from storage and treated or disposed as required by this part 
within one year of the date when such wastes are first placed into 
storage. The provisions of paragraph (c) of this section do not apply to 
such PCB wastes prohibited under Sec. 268.32 of this part.
    (g) The prohibition and requirements in this do not apply to 
hazardous remediation wastes stored in a staging pile approved pursuant 
to Sec. 264.554 of this chapter.

      Appendix VI to Part 268--Recommended Technologies to Achieve 
            Deactivation of Characteristics in Section 268.42

    The treatment standard for many characteristic wastes is stated in 
the Sec. 268.40 Table of Treatment Standards as ``Deactivation and meet 
UTS.'' EPA has determined that many technologies, when used alone or in 
combination, can achieve the deactivation portion of the treatment 
standard. Characteristic wastes that are not managed in a facility 
regulated by the Clean Water Act (CWA) or in a CWA-equivalent facility, 
and that also contain underlying hazardous constituents (see 
Sec. 268.2(i)) must be treated not only by a ``deactivating'' technology 
to remove the characteristic, but also to achieve the universal 
treatment standards (UTS) for underlying hazardous constituents. The 
following appendix presents a partial list of technologies, utilizing 
the five letter technology codes established in 40 CFR 268.42 Table 1, 
that may be useful in meeting the treatment standard. Use of these 
specific technologies is not mandatory and does not preclude direct 
reuse, recovery, and/or the use of other pretreatment technologies, 
provided deactivation is achieved and underlying hazardous constituents 
are treated to achieve the UTS.

                     Subpart A--General Information



Sec. 270.1  Purpose and scope of these regulations.

    (a) Coverage. (1) These permit regulations establish provisions for 
the Hazardous Waste Permit Program under Subtitle C of the Solid Waste 
Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 
of 1976, as amended (RCRA), (Pub. L. 94-580, as amended by Pub. L. 95-
609 and by Pub. L. 96-482; 42 U.S.C. 6091 et seq.). They apply to EPA 
and to approved States to the extent provided in part 271.
    (2) The regulations in this part cover basic EPA permitting 
requirements, such as application requirements, standard permit 
conditions, and monitoring and reporting requirements. These regulations 
are part of a regulatory scheme implementing RCRA set forth in different 
parts of the Code of Federal Regulations. The following chart indicates 
where the regulations implementing RCRA appear in the Code of Federal 
Regulations.

    (3) Technical regulations. The RCRA permit program has separate 
additional Regulations that contain technical requirements. These 
separate regulations are used by permit issuing authorities to determine 
what requirements must be placed in permits if they are issued. These 
separate regulations are located in 40 CFR parts 264, 266, and 267.
    (b) Overview of the RCRA Permit Program. Not later than 90 days 
after the promulgation or revision of regulations in 40 CFR part 261 
(identifying and listing hazardous wastes) generators and transporters 
of hazardous waste, and owners or operators of hazardous waste 
treatment, storage, or disposal facilities may be required to file a 
notification of that activity under section 3010. Six months after the 
initial promulgation of the part 261 regulations, treatment, storage, or 
disposal of hazardous waste by any person who has not applied for or 
received a RCRA permit is prohibited. A RCRA permit application consists 
of two parts, part A (see Sec. 270.13) and part B (see Sec. 270.14 and 
applicable sections in Secs. 270.15 through 270.29). For ``existing HWM 
facilities,'' the requirement to submit an application is satisfied by 
submitting only part A of the permit application until

[[Page 307]]

the date the Director sets for submitting part B of the application. 
(Part A consists of Forms 1 and 3 of the Consolidated Permit Application 
Forms.) Timely submission of both notification under section 3010 and 
part A qualifies owners and operators of existing HWM facilities (who 
are required to have a permit) for interim status under section 3005(e) 
of RCRA. Facility owners and operators with interim status are treated 
as having been issued a permit until EPA or a State with interim 
authorization for Phase II or final authorization under part 271 makes a 
final determination on the permit application. Facility owners and 
operators with interim status must comply with interim status standards 
set forth at 40 CFR part 265 and 266 or with the analagous provisions of 
a State program which has received interim or final authorization under 
part 271. Facility owners and operators with interim status are not 
relieved from complying with other State requirements. For existing HWM 
facilities, the Director shall set a date, giving at least six months 
notice, for submission of part B of the application. There is no form 
for part B of the application; rather, part B must be submitted in 
narrative form and contain the information set forth in the applicable 
sections of Secs. 270.14 through 270.29. Owners or operators of new HWM 
facilities must submit parts A and B of the permit application at least 
180 days before physical construction is expected to commence.
    (c) Scope of the RCRA permit requirement. RCRA requires a permit for 
the ``treatment,'' ``storage,'' and ``disposal'' of any ``hazardous 
waste'' as identified or listed in 40 CFR part 261. The terms 
``treatment,'' ``storage,'' ``disposal,'' and ``hazardous waste'' are 
defined in Sec. 270.2. Owners and operators of hazardous waste 
management units must have permits during the active life (including the 
closure period) of the unit. Owners and operators of surface 
impoundments, landfills, land treatment units, and waste pile units that 
received waste after July 26, 1982, or that certified closure (according 
to Sec. 265.115 of this chapter) after January 26, 1983, must have post-
closure permits, unless they demonstrate closure by removal or 
decontamination as provided under Sec. 270.1(c)(5) and (6), or obtain an 
enforceable document in lieu of a post-closure permit, as provided under 
paragraph (c)(7) of this section. If a post-closure permit is required, 
the permit must address applicable 40 CFR part 264 groundwater 
monitoring, unsaturated zone monitoring, corrective action, and post-
closure care requirements of this chapter. The denial of a permit for 
the active life of a hazardous waste management facility or unit does 
not affect the requirement to obtain a post-closure permit under this 
section.
    (1) Specific inclusions. Owners and operators of certain facilities 
require RCRA permits as well as permits under other programs for certain 
aspects of the facility operation. RCRA permits are required for:
    (i) Injection wells that dispose of hazardous waste, and associated 
surface facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste, (See 
Sec. 270.64). However, the owner and operator with a UIC permit in a 
State with an approved or promulgated UIC program, will be deemed to 
have a RCRA permit for the injection well itself if they comply with the 
requirements of Sec. 270.60(b) (permit-by-rule for injection wells).
    (ii) Treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste at 
facilities requiring an NPDES permit. However, the owner and operator of 
a publicly owned treatment works receiving hazardous waste will be 
deemed to have a RCRA permit for that waste if they comply with the 
requirements of Sec. 270.60(c) (permit-by-rule for POTWs).
    (iii) Barges or vessels that dispose of hazardous waste by ocean 
disposal and onshore hazardous waste treatment or storage facilities 
associated with an ocean disposal operation. However, the owner and 
operator will be deemed to have a RCRA permit for ocean disposal from 
the barge or vessel itself it they comply with the requirements of 
Sec. 270.60(a) (permit-by-rule for ocean disposal barges and vessels).
    (2) Specific exclusions. The following persons are among those who 
are not required to obtain a RCRA permit:
    (i) Generators who accumulate hazardous waste on-site for less than 
the time periods provided in 40 CFR 262.34.

[[Page 308]]

    (ii) Farmers who dispose of hazardous waste pesticides from their 
own use as provided in Sec. 262.70 of this chapter;
    (iii) Persons who own or operate facilities solely for the 
treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste excluded from 
regulations under this part by 40 CFR 261.4 or 261.5 (small generator 
exemption).
    (iv) Owners or operators of totally enclosed treatment facilities as 
defined in 40 CFR 260.10.
    (v) Owners and operators of elementary neutralization units or 
wastewater treatment units as defined in 40 CFR 260.10.
    (vi) Transporters storing manifested shipments of hazardous waste in 
containers meeting the requirements of 40 CFR 262.30 at a transfer 
facility for a period of ten days or less.
    (vii) Persons adding absorbent material to waste in a container (as 
defined in Sec. 260.10 of this chapter) and persons adding waste to 
absorbent material in a container, provided that these actions occur at 
the time waste is first placed in the container; and Secs. 264.17(b), 
264.171, and 264.172 of this chapter are complied with.
    (viii) Universal waste handlers and universal waste transporters (as 
defined in 40 CFR 260.10) managing the wastes listed below. These 
handlers are subject to regulation under 40 part CFR 273.
    (A) Batteries as described in 40 CFR 273.2;
    (B) Pesticides as described in 40 CFR 273.3; and
    (C) Thermostats as described in 40 CFR 273.4.
    (3) Further exclusions. (i) A person is not required to obtain an 
RCRA permit for treatment or containment activities taken during 
immediate response to any of the following situations:
    (A) A discharge of a hazardous waste;
    (B) An imminent and substantial threat of a discharge of hazardous 
waste;
    (C) A discharge of a material which, when discharged, becomes a 
hazardous waste.
    (D) An immediate threat to human health, public safety, property, or 
the environment from the known or suspected presence of military 
munitions, other explosive material, or an explosive device, as 
determined by an explosive or munitions emergency response specialist as 
defined in 40 CFR 260.10.
    (ii) Any person who continues or initiates hazardous waste treatment 
or containment activities after the immediate response is over is 
subject to all applicable requirements of this part for those 
activities.
    (iii) In the case of emergency responses involving military 
munitions, the responding military emergency response specialist's 
organizational unit must retain records for three years identifying the 
dates of the response, the responsible persons responding, the type and 
description of material addressed, and its disposition.
    (4) Permits for less than an entire facility. EPA may issue or deny 
a permit for one or more units at a facility without simultaneously 
issuing or denying a permit to all of the units at the facility. The 
interim status of any unit for which a permit has not been issued or 
denied is not affected by the issuance or denial of a permit to any 
other unit at the facility.
    (5) Closure by removal. Owners/operators of surface impoundments, 
land treatment units, and waste piles closing by removal or 
decontamination under part 265 standards must obtain a post-closure 
permit unless they can demonstrate to the Regional Administrator that 
the closure met the standards for closure by removal or decontamination 
in Sec. 264.228, Sec. 264.280(e), or Sec. 264.258, respectively. The 
demonstration may be made in the following ways:
    (i) If the owner/operator has submitted a part B application for a 
post-closure permit, the owner/operator may request a determination, 
based on information contained in the application, that section 264 
closure by removal standards were met. If the Regional Administrator 
believes that Sec. 264 standards were met, he/she will notify the public 
of this proposed decision, allow for public comment, and reach a final 
determination according to the procedures in paragraph (c)(6) of this 
section.
    (ii) If the owner/operator has not submitted a part B application 
for a post-closure permit, the owner/operator

[[Page 309]]

may petition the Regional Administrator for a determination that a post-
closure permit is not required because the closure met the applicable 
part 264 closure standards.
    (A) The petition must include data demonstrating that closure by 
removal or decontamination standards were met, or it must demonstrate 
that the unit closed under State requirements that met or exceeded the 
applicable 264 closure-by-removal standard.
    (B) The Regional Administrator shall approve or deny the petition 
according to the procedures outlined in paragraph (c)(6) of this 
section.
    (6) Procedures for closure equivalency determination. (i) If a 
facility owner/operator seeks an equivalency demonstration under 
Sec. 270.1(c)(5), the Regional Administrator will provide the public, 
through a newspaper notice, the opportunity to submit written comments 
on the information submitted by the owner/operator within 30 days from 
the date of the notice. The Regional Administrator will also, in 
response to a request or at his/her own discretion, hold a public 
hearing whenever such a hearing might clarify one or more issues 
concerning the equivalence of the part 265 closure to a part 264 
closure. The Regional Administrator will give public notice of the 
hearing at least 30 days before it occurs. (Public notice of the hearing 
may be given at the same time as notice of the opportunity for the 
public to submit written comments, and the two notices may be combined.)
    (ii) The Regional Administrator will determine whether the part 265 
closure met 264 closure by removal or decontamination requirements 
within 90 days of its receipt. If the Regional Administrator finds that 
the closure did not meet the applicable part 264 standards, he/she will 
provide the owner/operator with a written statement of the reasons why 
the closure failed to meet part 264 standards. The owner/operator may 
submit additional information in support of an equivalency demonstration 
within 30 days after receiving such written statement. The Regional 
Administrator will review any additional information submitted and make 
a final determination within 60 days.
    (iii) If the Regional Administrator determines that the facility did 
not close in accordance with part 264 closure by removal standards, the 
facility is subject to post-closure permitting requirements.
    (7) Enforceable documents for post-closure care. At the discretion 
of the Regional Administrator, an owner or operator may obtain, in lieu 
of a post-closure permit, an enforceable document imposing the 
requirements of 40 CFR 265.121. ``Enforceable document'' means an order, 
a plan, or other document issued by EPA or by an authorized State under 
an authority that meets the requirements of 40 CFR 271.16(e) including, 
but not limited to, a corrective action order issued by EPA under 
section 3008(h), a CERCLA remedial action, or a closure or post-closure 
plan.

Sec. 270.2  Definitions.

    The following definitions apply to parts 270, 271 and 124. Terms not 
defined in this section have the meaning given by RCRA.
    Administrator means the Administrator of the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency, or an authorized representative.
    Application means the EPA standard national forms for applying for a 
permit, including any additions, revisions or modifications to the 
forms; or forms approved by EPA for use in approved States, including 
any approved modifications or revisions. Application also includes the 
information required by the Director under Secs. 270.14 through 270.29 
(contents of part B of the RCRA application).
    Approved program or approved State means a State which has been 
approved or authorized by EPA under part 271.
    Aquifer means a geological formation, group of formations, or part 
of a formation that is capable of yielding a significant amount of water 
to a well or spring.
    Closure means the act of securing a Hazardous Waste Management 
facility

[[Page 310]]

pursuant to the requirements of 40 CFR part 264.
    Component means any constituent part of a unit or any group of 
constituent parts of a unit which are assembled to perform a specific 
function (e.g., a pump seal, pump, kiln liner, kiln thermocouple).
    Corrective Action Management Unit or CAMU means an area within a 
facility that is designated by the Regional Administrator under part 264 
subpart S, for the purpose of implementing corrective action 
requirements under Sec. 264.101 and RCRA section 3008(h). A CAMU shall 
only be used for the management of remediation wastes pursuant to 
implementing such corrective action requirements at the facility.
    CWA means the Clean Water Act (formerly referred to as the Federal 
Water Pollution Control Act or Federal Water Pollution Control Act 
amendments of 1972) Pub. L. 92-500, as amended by Pub. L. 92-217 and 
Pub. L. 95-576; 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.
    Director means the Regional Administrator or the State Director, as 
the context requires, or an authorized representative. When there is no 
approved State program, and there is an EPA administered program, 
Director means the Regional Administrator. When there is an approved 
State program, Director normally means the State Director. In some 
circumstances, however, EPA retains the authority to take certain 
actions even when there is an approved State program. In such cases, the 
term Director means the Regional Administrator and not the State 
Director.
    Disposal means the discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling, 
leaking, or placing of any hazardous waste into or on any land or water 
so that such hazardous waste or any constituent thereof may enter the 
environment or be emitted into the air or discharged into any waters, 
including ground water.
    Disposal facility means a facility or part of a facility at which 
hazardous waste is intentionally placed into or on the land or water, 
and at which hazardous waste will remain after closure. The term 
disposal facility does not include a corrective action management unit 
into which remediation wastes are placed.
    Draft permit means a document prepared under Sec. 124.6 indicating 
the Director's tentative decision to issue or deny, modify, revoke and 
reissue, terminate, or reissue a permit. A notice of intent to terminate 
a permit, and a notice of intent to deny a permit, as discussed in 
Sec. 124.5, are types of draft permits. A denial of a request for 
modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, as discussed in 
Sec. 124.5 is not a ``draft permit.'' A proposed permit is not a draft 
permit.
    Elementary neutralization unit means a device which:
    (a) Is used for neutralizing wastes only because they exhibit the 
corrosivity characteristic defined in Sec. 261.22 of this chapter, or 
are listed in subpart D of part 261 of this chapter only for this 
reason; and
    (b) Meets the definition of tank, tank system, container, transport 
vehicle, or vessel in Sec. 260.10 of this chapter.
    Emergency permit means a RCRA permit issued in accordance with 
Sec. 270.61.
    Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) means the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency.
    EPA means the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
    Existing hazardous waste management (HWM) facility or existing 
facility means a facility which was in operation or for which 
construction commenced on or before November 19, 1980. A facility has 
commenced construction if:
    (a) The owner or operator has obtained the Federal, State and local 
approvals or permits necessary to begin physical construction; and 
either
    (b)(1) A continuous on-site, physical construction program has 
begun; or
    (2) The owner or operator has entered into contractual obligations 
which cannot be cancelled or modified without substantial loss--for 
physical construction of the facility to be completed within a 
reasonable time.
    Facility mailing list means the mailing list for a facility 
maintained by EPA in accordance with 40 CFR 124.10(c)(1)(ix).
    Facility or activity means any HWM facility or any other facility or 
activity (including land or appurtenances thereto) that is subject to 
regulation under the RCRA program.

[[Page 311]]

    Federal, State and local approvals or permits necessary to begin 
physical construction means permits and approvals required under 
Federal, State or local hazardous waste control statutes, regulations or 
ordinances.
    Final authorization means approval by EPA of a State program which 
has met the requirements of section 3006(b) of RCRA and the applicable 
requirements of part 271, subpart A.
    Functionally equivalent component means a component which performs 
the same function or measurement and which meets or exceeds the 
performance specifications of another component.
    Generator means any person, by site location, whose act, or process 
produces ``hazardous waste'' identified or listed in 40 CFR part 261.
    Ground water means water below the land surface in a zone of 
saturation.
    Hazardous waste means a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261.3.
    Hazardous Waste Management facility (HWM facility) means all 
contiguous land, and structures, other appurtenances, and improvements 
on the land, used for treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous 
waste. A facility may consist of several treatment, storage, or disposal 
operational units (for example, one or more landfills, surface 
impoundments, or combinations of them).

Sec. 270.3  Considerations under Federal law.

    The following is a list of Federal laws that may apply to the 
issuance of permits under these rules. When any of these laws is 
applicable, its procedures must be followed. When the applicable law 
requires consideration or adoption of particular permit conditions or 
requires the denial of a permit, those requirements also must be 
followed.
    (a) The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. 16 U.S.C. 1273 et seq. Section 7 
of the Act prohibits the Regional Administrator from assisting by 
license or otherwise the construction of any water resources project 
that would have a direct, adverse effect on the values for which a 
national wild and scenic river was established.
    (b) The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. 16 U.S.C. 470 et 
seq. Section 106 of the Act and implementing regulations (36 CFR part 
800) require the Regional Administrator, before issuing a license, to 
adopt measures when feasible to mitigate potential adverse effects of 
the licensed activity and properties listed or eligible for listing in 
the National Register of Historic Places. The Act's requirements are to 
be implemented in cooperation with State Historic Preservation Officers 
and upon notice to, and when appropriate, in consultation with the 
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.
    (c) The Endangered Species Act. 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. Section 7 of 
the Act and implementing regulations (50 CFR part 402) require the 
Regional Administrator to ensure, in consultation with the Secretary of 
the Interior or Commerce, that any action authorized by EPA is not 
likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered or 
threatened species or adversely affect its critical habitat.
    (d) The Coastal Zone Management Act. 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq. Section 
307(c) of the Act and implementing regulations (15 CFR part 930) 
prohibit EPA from issuing a permit for an activity affecting land or 
water use in the coastal zone until the applicant certifies that the 
proposed activity complies with the State Coastal Zone Management 
program, and the State or its designated agency concurs with the 
certification (or the Secretary of Commerce overrides the State's 
nonconcurrence).
    (e) The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq. 
requires that the Regional Administrator, before issuing a permit 
proposing or authorizing the impoundment (with certain exemptions), 
diversion, or other control or modification of any body of water, 
consult with the appropriate State agency exercising jurisdiction over 
wildlife resources to conserve those resources.
    (f) Executive orders. [Reserved]

(Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Safe Drinking Water Act (42 
U.S.C. 300f et seq.), Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.), Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.))

Sec. 270.4  Effect of a permit.

    (a) Compliance with a RCRA permit during its term constitutes 
compliance, for purposes of enforcement, with subtitle C of RCRA except 
for those requirements not included in the permit which:
    (1) Become effective by statute;

[[Page 314]]

    (2) Are promulgated under part 268 of this chapter restricting the 
placement of hazardous wastes in or on the land;
    (3) Are promulgated under part 264 of this chapter regarding leak 
detection systems for new and replacement surface impoundment, waste 
pile, and landfill units, and lateral expansions of surface impoundment, 
waste pile, and landfill units. The leak detection system requirements 
include double liners, CQA programs, monitoring, action leakage rates, 
and response action plans, and will be implemented through the 
procedures of Sec. 270.42 Class 1 permit modifications; or
    (4) Are promulgated under subparts AA, BB, or CC of part 265 of this 
chapter limiting air emissions.
    (b) The issuance of a permit does not convey any property rights of 
any sort, or any exclusive privilege.
    (c) The issuance of a permit does not authorize any injury to 
persons or property or invasion of other private rights, or any 
infringement of State or local law or regulations.

Sec. 270.5  Noncompliance and program reporting by the Director.

    The Director shall prepare quarterly and annual reports as detailed 
below. When the State is the permit-issuing authority, the State 
Director shall submit any reports required under this section to the 
Regional Administrator. When EPA is the permit-issuing authority, the 
Regional Administrator shall submit any report required under this 
section to EPA Headquarters. For purposes of this section only, RCRA 
permittees shall include RCRA interim status facilities, when 
appropriate.
    (a) Quarterly reports. The Director shall submit quarterly narrative 
reports for major facilities as follows:
    (1) Format. The report shall use the following format:
    (i) Information on noncompliance for each facility;
    (ii) Alphabetize by permittee name. When two or more permittees have 
the same name, the lowest permit number shall be entered first; and
    (iii) For each entry on the list, include the following information 
in the following order:
    (A) Name, location, and permit number of the noncomplying permittee.
    (B) A brief description and date of each instance of noncompliance 
for that permittee. Instances of noncompliance may include one or more 
of the kinds set forth in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. When a 
permittee has noncompliance of more than one kind, combine the 
information into a single entry for each such permittee.
    (C) The date(s) and a brief description of the action(s) taken by 
the Director to ensure compliance.
    (D) Status of the instance(s) of noncompliance with the date of the 
review of the status or the date of resolution.
    (E) Any details which tend to explain or mitigate the instance(s) of 
noncompliance.
    (2) Instances of noncompliance to be reported. Any instances of 
noncompliance within the following categories shall be reported in 
successive reports until the noncompliance is reported as resolved. Once 
noncompliance is reported as resolved it need not appear in subsequent 
reports.
    (i) Failure to complete construction elements. When the permittee 
has failed to complete, by the date specified in the permit, an element 
of a compliance schedule involving either planning for construction (for 
example, award of a contract, preliminary plans), or a construction step 
(for example, begin construction, attain operation level); and the 
permittee has not returned to compliance by accomplishing the required 
element of the schedule within 30 days from the date a compliance 
schedule report is due under the permit.
    (ii) Modifications to schedules of compliance. When a schedule of 
compliance in the permit has been modified under Sec. 270.41 or 
Sec. 270.42 because of the permittee's noncompliance.
    (iii) Failure to complete or provide compliance schedule or 
monitoring reports. When the permittee has failed to complete or provide 
a report required in a permit compliance schedule (for example, progress 
report or notice of noncompliance or compliance) or a monitoring report; 
and the permittee has not submitted the complete report

[[Page 315]]

within 30 days from the date it is due under the permit for compliance 
schedules, or from the date specified in the permit for monitoring 
reports.
    (iv) Deficient reports. When the required reports provided by the 
permittee are so deficient as to cause misunderstanding by the Director 
and thus impede the review of the status of compliance.
    (v) Noncompliance with other permit requirements. Noncompliance 
shall be reported in the following circumstances:
    (A) Whenever the permittee has violated a permit requirement (other 
than reported under paragraph (a)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section), and 
has not returned to compliance within 45 days from the date reporting of 
noncompliance was due under the permit; or
    (B) When the Director determines that a pattern of noncompliance 
exists for a major facility permittee over the most recent four 
consecutive reporting periods. This pattern includes any violation of 
the same requirement in two consecutive reporting periods, and any 
violation of one or more requirements in each of four consecutive 
reporting periods; or
    (C) When the Director determines significant permit non-compliance 
or other significant event has occurred such as a fire or explosion or 
migration of fluids into a USDW.
    (vi) All other. Statistical information shall be reported quarterly 
on all other instances of noncompliance by major facilities with permit 
requirements not otherwise reported under paragraph (a) of this section.
    (b) Annual reports--(1) Annual noncompliance report. Statistical 
reports shall be submitted by the Director on nonmajor RCRA permittees 
indicating the total number reviewed, the number of noncomplying 
nonmajor permittees, the number of enforcement actions, and number of 
permit modifications extending compliance deadlines. The statistical 
information shall be organized to follow the types of noncompliance 
listed in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (2) In addition to the annual noncompliance report, the Director 
shall prepare a ``program report'' which contains information (in a 
manner and form prescribed by the Administrator) on generators and 
transporters and the permit status of regulated facilities. The Director 
shall also include, on a biennial basis, summary information on the 
quantities and types of hazardous wastes generated, transported, 
treated, stored and disposed during the preceding odd-numbered year. 
This summary information shall be reported in a manner and form 
prescribed by the Administrator and shall be reported according to EPA 
characteristics and lists of hazardous wastes at 40 CFR part 261.
    (c) Schedule. (1) For all quarterly reports. On the last working day 
of May, August, November, and February, the State Director shall submit 
to the Regional Administrator information concerning noncompliance with 
RCRA permit requirements by major facilities in the State in accordance 
with the following schedule. The Regional Administrator shall prepare 
and submit information for EPA-issued permits to EPA Headquarters in 
accordance with the same schedule.

                      Subpart B--Permit Application



Sec. 270.10  General application requirements.

    (a) Permit application. Any person who is required to have a permit 
(including new applicants and permittees with expiring permits) shall 
complete, sign, and submit an application to the Director as described 
in this section and Secs. 270.70 through 270.73. Persons currently 
authorized with interim status shall apply for permits when required by 
the Director. Persons covered by RCRA permits by rule (Sec. 270.60), 
need not apply. Procedures for applications, issuance and administration 
of emergency permits are found exclusively in Sec. 270.61. Procedures 
for application, issuance and administration of research, development, 
and demonstration permits are found exclusively in Sec. 270.65.
    (b) Who applies? When a facility or activity is owned by one person 
but is operated by another person, it is the operator's duty to obtain a 
permit, except that the owner must also sign the permit application.
    (c) Completeness. The Director shall not issue a permit before 
receiving a complete application for a permit except for permits by 
rule, or emergency permits. An application for a permit is complete when 
the Director receives an application form and any supplemental 
information which are completed to his satisfaction. An application for 
a permit is complete notwithstanding the failure of the owner or 
operator to submit the exposure information described in paragraph (j) 
of this section. The Director may deny a permit for the active life of a 
hazardous waste management facility or unit before receiving a complete 
application for a permit.
    (d) Information requirements. All applicants for RCRA permits shall 
provide information set forth in Sec. 270.13 and applicable sections in 
Secs. 270.14 through 270.29 to the Director, using the application form 
provided by the Director.
    (e) Existing HWM facilities and interim status qualifications. (1) 
Owners and operators of existing hazardous waste management facilities 
or of hazardous waste management facilities in existence on the 
effective date of statutory or regulatory amendments under the act that 
render the facility subject to the requirement to have a RCRA permit 
must submit part A of their permit application no later than:
    (i) Six months after the date of publication of regulations which 
first require them to comply with the standards set forth in 40 CFR part 
265 or 266, or
    (ii) Thirty days after the date they first become subject to the 
standards set forth in 40 CFR part 265 or 266, whichever first occurs.
    (iii) For generators generating greater than 100 kilograms but less 
than 1000 kilograms of hazardous waste in a calendar month and treats, 
stores, or disposes of these wastes on-site, by March 24, 1987.
    Note: For facilities which must comply with part 265 because they 
handle a waste listed in EPA's May 19, 1980, part 261 regulations (45 FR 
33006 et seq.), the deadline for submitting an application is November 
19, 1980. Where other existing facilities must begin in complying with 
part 265 or 266 at a later date because of revisions to part 260, 261, 
265, or 266, the Administrator will specify in the preamble to those 
revisions when those facilities must submit a permit application.
    (2) The Administrator may by publication in the Federal Register 
extend the date by which owners and operators of specified classes of 
existing hazardous waste management facilities must submit part A of 
their permit application if he finds that (i) there has been substantial 
confusion as to whether the owners and operators of such facilities were 
required to file a permit application and (ii) such confusion is 
attributed to ambiguities in EPA's parts 260, 261, 265, or 266 
regulations.
    (3) The Administrator may by compliance order issued under section 
3008 of RCRA extend the date by which the owner and operator of an 
existing hazardous waste management facility must submit part A of their 
permit application.

[[Page 317]]

    (4) The owner or operator of an existing hazardous waste management 
facility may be required to submit part B of their permit application. 
The State Director may require submission of part B (or equivalent 
completion of the State RCRA application process) if the State in which 
the facility is located has received interim or final authorization; if 
not, the Regional Administrator may require submission of Part B. Any 
owner or operator shall be allowed at least six months from the date of 
request to submit part B of the application. Any owner or operator of an 
existing hazardous waste management facility may voluntarily submit part 
B of the application at any time. Notwithstanding the above, any owner 
or operator of an existing hazardous waste management facility must 
submit a part B permit application in accordance with the dates 
specified in Sec. 270.73. Any owner or operator of a land disposal 
facility in existence on the effective date of statutory or regulatory 
amendments under this Act that render the facility subject to the 
requirement to have a RCRA permit must submit a part B application in 
accordance with the dates specified in Sec. 270.73.
    (5) Failure to furnish a requested part B application on time, or to 
furnish in full the information required by the part B application, is 
grounds for termination of interim status under part 124.
    (f) New HWM facilities. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (f)(3) 
of this section, no person shall begin physical construction of a new 
HWM facility without having submitted parts A and B of the permit 
application and having received a finally effective RCRA permit.
    (2) An application for a permit for a new hazardous waste management 
facility (including both Parts A and B) may be filed any time after 
promulgation of those standards in part 264, subpart I et seq. 
applicable to such facility. The application shall be filed with the 
Regional Administrator if at the time of application the State in which 
the new hazardous waste management facility is proposed to be located 
has not received interim or final authorization for permitting such 
facility; otherwise it shall be filed with the State Director. Except as 
provided in paragraph (f)(3) of this section, all applications must be 
submitted at least 180 days before physical construction is expected to 
commence.
    (3) Notwithstanding paragraph (f)(1) of this section, a person may 
construct a facility for the incineration of polychlorinated biphenyls 
pursuant to an approval issued by the Administrator under section (6)(e) 
of the Toxic Substances Control Act and any person owning or operating 
such a facility may, at any time after construction or operation of such 
facility has begun, file an application for a RCRA permit to incinerate 
hazardous waste authorizing such facility to incinerate waste identified 
or listed under Subtitle C of RCRA.
    (g) Updating permit applications. (1) If any owner or operator of a 
hazardous waste management facility has filed Part A of a permit 
application and has not yet filed part B, the owner or operator shall 
file an amended part A application:
    (i) With the Regional Administrator if the facility is located in a 
State which has not obtained interim authorization or final 
authorization, within six months after the promulgation of revised 
regulations under part 261 listing or identifying additional hazardous 
wastes, if the facility is treating, storing or disposing of any of 
those newly listed or identified wastes.
    (ii) With the State Director, if the facility is located in a State 
which has obtained interim authorization or final authorization, no 
later than the effective date of regulatory provisions listing or 
designating wastes as hazardous in that State in addition to those 
listed or designated under the previously approved State program, if the 
facility is treating, storing or disposing of any of those newly listed 
or designated wastes; or
    (iii) As necessary to comply with provisions of Sec. 270.72 for 
changes during interim status or with the analogous provisions of a 
State program approved for final authorization or interim authorization. 
Revised Part A applications necessary to comply with the provisions of 
Sec. 270.72 shall be filed with the Regional Administrator if the State 
in

[[Page 318]]

which the facility in question is located does not have interim 
authorization or final authorization; otherwise it shall be filed with 
the State Director (if the State has an analogous provision).
    (2) The owner or operator of a facility who fails to comply with the 
updating requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section does not 
receive interim status as to the wastes not covered by duly filed part A 
applications.
    (h) Reapplications. Any HWM facility with an effective permit shall 
submit a new application at least 180 days before the expiration date of 
the effective permit, unless permission for a later date has been 
granted by the Director. (The Director shall not grant permission for 
applications to be submitted later than the expiration date of the 
existing permit.)
    (i) Recordkeeping. Applicants shall keep records of all data used to 
complete permit applications and any supplemental information submitted 
under Secs. 270.10(d), 270.13, 270.14 through 270.21 for a period of at 
least 3 years from the date the application is signed.
    (j) Exposure information. (1) After August 8, 1985, any part B 
permit application submitted by an owner or operator of a facility that 
stores, treats, or dispose of hazardous waste in a surface impoundment 
or a landfill must be accompanied by information, reasonably 
ascertainable by the owner or operator, on the potential for the public 
to be exposed to hazardous wastes or hazardous constituents through 
releases related to the unit. At a minimum, such information must 
address:
    (i) Reasonably foreseeable potential releases from both normal 
operations and accidents at the unit, including releases associated with 
transportation to or from the unit;
    (ii) The potential pathways of human exposure to hazardous wastes or 
constituents resulting from the releases described under paragraph

Sec. 270.11  Signatories to permit applications and reports.

    (a) Applications. All permit applications shall be signed as 
follows:
    (1) For a corporation: By a responsible corporate officer. For the 
purpose of this section, a responsible corporate officer means (i) A 
president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in 
charge of a principal business function, or any other person who 
performs similar policy- or decisionmaking functions for the 
corporation, or (ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing, 
production or operating facilities employing more than 250 persons or 
having gross annual sales or expenditures exceeding $25 million (in 
second-quarter 1980 dollars), if authority to sign documents has been 
assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate 
procedures.
    Note: EPA does not require specific assignments or delegations of 
authority to responsible corporate officers identified in 
Sec. 270.11(a)(1)(i). The Agency will presume that these responsible 
corporate officers have the requisite authority to sign permit 
applications unless the corporation has notified the Director to the 
contrary. Corporate procedures governing authority to sign permit 
applications may provide for assignment or delegation to applicable 
corporate positions under Sec. 270.11(a)(1)(ii) rather than to specific 
individuals.
    (2) For a partnership or sole proprietorship; by a general partner 
or the proprietor, respectively; or
    (3) For a municipality, State, Federal, or other public agency: by 
either a principal executive officer or ranking elected official. For 
purposes of this section, a principal executive officer of a Federal 
agency includes: (i) The chief executive officer of the agency, or (ii) 
a senior executive officer having responsibility for the overall 
operations of a

[[Page 319]]

principal geographic unit of the agency (e.g., Regional Administrators 
of EPA).
    (b) Reports. All reports required by permits and other information 
requested by the Director shall be signed by a person described in 
paragraph (a) of this section, or by a duly authorized representative of 
that person. A person is a duly authorized representative only if:
    (1) The authorization is made in writing by a person described in 
paragraph (a) of this section;
    (2) The authorization specifies either an individual or a position 
having responsibility for overall operation of the regulated facility or 
activity such as the position of plant manager, operator of a well or a 
well field, superintendent, or position of equivalent responsibility. (A 
duly authorized representative may thus be either a named individual or 
any individual occupying a named position); and
    (3) The written authorization is submitted to the Director.
    (c) Changes to authorization. If an authorization under paragraph 
(b) of this section is no longer accurate because a different individual 
or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the 
facility, a new authorization satisfying the requirements of paragraph 
(b) of this section must be submitted to the Director prior to or 
together with any reports, information, or applications to be signed by 
an authorized representative.
    (d)(1) Any person signing a document under paragraph (a) or (b) of 
this must make the following certification:

    I certify under penalty of law that this document and all 
attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision according to 
a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and 
evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or 
persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for 
gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of 
my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that 
there are significant penalties for submitting false information, 
including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing 
violations.

    (2) For remedial action plans (RAPs) under subpart H of this part, 
if the operator certifies according to paragraph (d)(1) of this section, 
then the owner may choose to make the following certification instead of 
the certification in paragraph (d)(1) of this section:

    Based on my knowledge of the conditions of the property described in 
the RAP and my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system 
referenced in the operator's certification, or those persons directly 
responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, 
upon information and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware 
that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, 
including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing 
violations.

Sec. 270.14  Contents of part B: General requirements.

    (a) Part B of the permit application consists of the general 
information requirements of this section, and the specific information 
requirements in Secs. 270.14 through 270.29 applicable to the facility. 
The part B information requirements presented in Secs. 270.14 through 
270.29 reflect the standards promulgated in 40 CFR part 264. These 
information requirements are necessary in order for EPA to determine 
compliance with the part 264 standards. If owners and operators of HWM 
facilities can demonstrate that the information prescribed in part B can 
not be provided to the extent required, the Director may make allowance 
for submission of such information on a case-by-case basis. Information 
required in part B shall be submitted to the Director and signed in 
accordance with requirements in Sec. 270.11. Certain technical data, 
such as design drawings and specifications, and engineering studies 
shall be certified by a registered professional engineer. For post-
closure permits, only the information specified in Sec. 270.28 is 
required in Part B of the permit application.
    (b) General information requirements. The following information is 
required

[[Page 321]]

for all HWM facilities, except as Sec. 264.1 provides otherwise:
    (1) A general description of the facility.

    (10) Traffic pattern, estimated volume (number, types of vehicles) 
and control (for example, show turns across traffic lanes, and stacking 
lanes (if appropriate); describe access road surfacing and load bearing 
capacity; show traffic control signals).
    (11) Facility location information;
    (i) In order to determine the applicability of the seismic standard 
[Sec. 264.18(a)] the owner or operator of a new facility must identify 
the political jurisdiction (e.g., county, township, or election 
district) in which the facility is proposed to be located.

[Comment: If the county or election district is not listed in appendix 
VI of part 264, no further information is required to demonstrate 
compliance with Sec. 264.18(a).]

    (ii) If the facility is proposed to be located in an area listed in 
appendix VI of part 264, the owner or operator shall demonstrate 
compliance with the seismic standard. This demonstration may be made 
using either published geologic data or data obtained from field 
investigations carried out by the applicant. The information provided 
must be of such quality to be acceptable to geologists experienced in 
identifying and evaluating seismic activity. The information submitted 
must show that either:
    (A) No faults which have had displacement in Holocene time are 
present, or no lineations which suggest the presence of a fault (which 
have displacement in Holocene time) within 3,000 feet of a facility are 
present, based on data from:
    (1) Published geologic studies,
    (2) Aerial reconnaissance of the area within a five-mile radius from 
the facility.
    (3) An analysis of aerial photographs covering a 3,000 foot radius 
of the facility, and
    (4) If needed to clarify the above data, a reconnaissance based on 
walking portions of the area within 3,000 feet of the facility, or
    (B) If faults (to include lineations) which have had displacement in 
Holocene time are present within 3,000 feet

[[Page 322]]

of a facility, no faults pass with 200 feet of the portions of the 
facility where treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste will 
be conducted, based on data from a comprehensive geologic analysis of 
the site. Unless a site analysis is otherwise conclusive concerning the 
absence of faults within 200 feet of such portions of the facility data 
shall be obtained from a subsurface exploration (trenching) of the area 
within a distance no less than 200 feet from portions of the facility 
where treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste will be 
conducted. Such trenching shall be performed in a direction that is 
perpendicular to known faults (which have had displacement in Holocene 
time) passing within 3,000 feet of the portions of the facility where 
treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste will be conducted. 
Such investigation shall document with supporting maps and other 
analyses, the location of faults found.

[Comment: The Guidance Manual for the Location Standards provides 
greater detail on the content of each type of seismic investigation and 
the appropriate conditions under which each approach or a combination of 
approaches would be used.]

    (iii) Owners and operators of all facilities shall provide an 
identification of whether the facility is located within a 100-year 
floodplain. This identification must indicate the source of data for 
such determination and include a copy of the relevant Federal Insurance 
Administration (FIA) flood map, if used, or the calculations and maps 
used where an FIA map is not available. Information shall also be 
provided identifying the 100-year flood level and any other special 
flooding factors (e.g., wave action) which must be considered in 
designing, constructing, operating, or maintaining the facility to 
withstand washout from a 100-year flood.

[Comment: Where maps for the National Flood Insurance Program produced 
by the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency are available, they will normally be determinative of 
whether a facility is located within or outside of the 100-year 
floodplain. However, where the FIA map excludes an area (usually areas 
of the floodplain less than 200 feet in width), these areas must be 
considered and a determination made as to whether they are in the 100-
year floodplain. Where FIA maps are not available for a proposed 
facility location, the owner or operator must use equivalent mapping 
techniques to determine whether the facility is within the 100-year 
floodplain, and if so located, what the 100-year flood elevation would 
be.]

    (iv) Owners and operators of facilities located in the 100-year 
floodplain must provide the following information:
    (A) Engineering analysis to indicate the various hydrodynamic and 
hydrostatic forces expected to result at the site as consequence of a 
100-year flood.
    (B) Structural or other engineering studies showing the design of 
operational units (e.g., tanks, incinerators) and flood protection 
devices (e.g., floodwalls, dikes) at the facility and how these will 
prevent washout.
    (C) If applicable, and in lieu of paragraphs (b)(11)(iv) (A) and (B) 
of this section, a detailed description of procedures to be followed to 
remove hazardous waste to safety before the facility is flooded, 
including:
    (1) Timing of such movement relative to flood levels, including 
estimated time to move the waste, to show that such movement can be 
completed before floodwaters reach the facility.
    (2) A description of the location(s) to which the waste will be 
moved and demonstration that those facilities will be eligible to 
receive hazardous waste in accordance with the regulations under parts 
270, 271, 124, and 264 through 266 of this chapter.
    (3) The planned procedures, equipment, and personnel to be used and 
the means to ensure that such resources will be available in time for 
use.
    (4) The potential for accidental discharges of the waste during 
movement.
    (v) Existing facilities NOT in compliance with Sec. 264.18(b) shall 
provide a plan showing how the facility will be brought into compliance 
and a schedule for compliance.
    (12) An outline of both the introductory and continuing training 
programs by owners or operators to prepare persons to operate or 
maintain the HWM facility in a safe manner as required to demonstrate 
compliance with Sec. 264.16. A brief description of how training will be 
designed to meet actual job tasks in accordance with requirements in 
Sec. 264.16(a)(3).

Secs. 264.178, 264.197, 264.228, 264.258, 264.280, 264.310, 264.351, 
264.601, and 264.603.
    (14) For hazardous waste disposal units that have been closed, 
documentation that notices required under Sec. 264.119 have been filed.
    (15) The most recent closure cost estimate for the facility prepared 
in accordance with Sec. 264.142 and a copy of the documentation required 
to demonstrate financial assurance under Sec. 264.143. For a new 
facility, a copy of the required documentation may be submitted 60 days 
prior to the initial receipt of hazardous wastes, if that is later than 
the submission of the part B.
    (16) Where applicable, the most recent post-closure cost estimate 
for the facility prepared in accordance with Sec. 264.144 plus a copy of 
the documentation required to demonstrate financial assurance under 
Sec. 264.145. For a new facility, a copy of the required documentation 
may be submitted 60 days prior to the initial receipt of hazardous 
wastes, if that is later than the submission of the part B.
    (17) Where applicable, a copy of the insurance policy or other 
documentation which comprises compliance with the requirements of 
Sec. 264.147. For a new facility, documentation showing the amount of

applicable, Sec. 264.147(b), that the owner or operator plans to have in 
effect before initial receipt of hazardous waste for treatment, storage, 
or disposal. A request for a variance in the amount of required 
coverage, for a new or existing facility, may be submitted as specified 
in Sec. 264.147(c).
    (18) Where appropriate, proof of coverage by a State financial 
mechanism in compliance with Sec. 264.149 or Sec. 264.150.

interval must be sufficient to clearly show the pattern of surface water 
flow in the vicinity of and from each operational unit of the facility. 
For example, contours with an interval of 1.5 meters (5 feet), if relief 
is greater than 6.1 meters (20 feet), or an interval of 0.6 meters (2 
feet), if relief is less than 6.1 meters (20 feet). Owners and operators 
of HWM facilities located in mountainous areas should use large contour 
intervals to adequately show topographic profiles of facilities. The map 
shall clearly show the following:
    (i) Map scale and date.

which exceed the concentration limits established under Sec. 264.94 
Table 1, or if ground water monitoring conducted at the time of permit 
application under Secs. 265.90 through 265.94 at the waste boundary 
indicates the presence of hazardous constituents from the facility in 
ground water over background concentrations, the owner or operator must 
submit sufficient information, supporting data, and analyses to 
establish a corrective action program which meets the requirements of 
Sec. 264.100. However, an owner or operator is not required to submit 
information to establish a corrective action program if he demonstrates 
to the Regional Administrator that alternate concentration limits will 
protect human health and the environment after considering the criteria 
listed in Sec. 264.94(b). An owner or operator who is not required to 
establish a corrective action program for this reason must instead 
submit sufficient information to establish a compliance monitoring 
program which meets the requirements of Sec. 264.99 and paragraph (c)(6) 
of this section. To demonstrate compliance with Sec. 264.100, the owner 
or operator must address, at a minimum, the following items:
    (i) A characterization of the contaminated ground water, including 
concentrations of hazardous constituents;
    (ii) The concentration limit for each hazardous constituent found in 
the ground water as set forth in Sec. 264.94;
    (iii) Detailed plans and an engineering report describing the 
corrective action to be taken; and
    (iv) A description of how the ground-water monitoring program will 
demonstrate the adequacy of the corrective action.
    (v) The permit may contain a schedule for submittal of the 
information required in paragraphs (c)(8) (iii) and (iv) provided the 
owner or operator obtains written authorization from the Regional 
Administrator prior to submittal of the complete permit application.

Sec. 270.30  Conditions applicable to all permits.

    The following conditions apply to all RCRA permits, and shall be 
incorporated into the permits either expressly or by reference. If 
incorporated by reference, a specific citation to these regulations (or 
the corresponding approved State regulations) must be given in the 
permit.
    (a) Duty to comply. The permittee must comply with all conditions of 
this permit, except that the permittee need not comply with the 
conditions of this permit to the extent and for the duration such 
noncompliance is authorized in an emergency permit. (See Sec. 270.61). 
Any permit noncompliance, except under the terms of an emergency permit, 
constitutes a violation of the appropriate Act and is grounds for 
enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, 
or modification; or for denial of a permit renewal application.
    (b) Duty to reapply. If the permittee wishes to continue an activity 
regulated by this permit after the expiration date of this permit, the 
permittee must apply for and obtain a new permit.
    (c) Need to halt or reduce activity not a defense. It shall not be a 
defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been 
necessary to

[[Page 341]]

halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance 
with the conditions of this permit.
    (d) In the event of noncompliance with the permit, the permittee 
shall take all reasonable steps to minimize releases to the environment, 
and shall carry out such measures as are reasonable to prevent 
significant adverse impacts on human health or the environment.
    (e) Proper operation and maintenance. The permittee shall at all 
times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of

auxiliary facilities or similar systems only when necessary to achieve 
compliance with the conditions of the permit.
    (f) Permit actions. This permit may be modified, revoked and 
reissued, or terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the 
permittee for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or 
termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated 
noncompliance, does not stay any permit condition.
    (g) Property rights. The permit does not convey any property rights 
of any sort, or any exclusive privilege.
    (h) Duty to provide information. The permittee shall furnish to the 
Director, within a reasonable time, any relevant information which the 
Director may request to determine whether cause exists for modifying, 
revoking and reissuing, or terminating this permit, or to determine 
compliance with this permit. The permittee shall also furnish to the 
Director, upon request, copies of records required to be kept by this 
permit.
    (i) Inspection and entry. The permittee shall allow the Director, or 
an authorized representative, upon the presentation of credentials and

Sec. 270.31  Requirements for recording and reporting of monitoring results.

    All permits shall specify:
    (a) Requirements concerning the proper use, maintenance, and 
installation, when appropriate, of monitoring equipment or methods 
(including biological monitoring methods when appropriate);
    (b) Required monitoring including type, intervals, and frequency 
sufficient to yield data which are representative of the monitored 
activity including, when appropriate, continuous monitoring;
    (c) Applicable reporting requirements based upon the impact of the 
regulated activity and as specified in parts 264, 266 and 267. Reporting 
shall be no less frequent than specified in the above regulations.



Sec. 270.32  Establishing permit conditions.

    (a) In addition to conditions required in all permits (Sec. 270.30), 
the Director shall establish conditions, as required on a case-by-case 
basis, in permits under Secs. 270.50 (duration of permits), 270.33(a) 
(schedules of compliance), 270.31 (monitoring), and for EPA issued 
permits only, 270.33(b) (alternate schedules of compliance) and 270.3 
(considerations under Federal law).
    (b)(1) Each RCRA permit shall include permit conditions necessary to 
achieve compliance with the Act and regulations, including each of the 
applicable requirements specified in parts 264 and 266 through 268 of 
this chapter. In satisfying this provision, the Administrator may 
incorporate applicable requirements of parts 264 and 266 through 268 of 
this chapter directly into the permit or establish other permit 
conditions that are based on these parts.
    (2) Each permit issued under section 3005 of this act shall contain 
terms and conditions as the Administrator or State Director determines 
necessary to protect human health and the environment.
    (c) For a State issued permit, an applicable requirement is a State 
statutory or regulatory requirement which takes effect prior to final 
administrative disposition of a permit. For a permit issued by EPA, an 
applicable requirement is a statutory or regulatory requirement 
(including any interim final regulation) which takes effect prior to the 
issuance of the permit (except as provided in Sec. 124.86(c) for RCRA 
permits being processed under subpart E or F of part 124). Section 
124.14 (reopening of comment period) provides a means for reopening EPA 
permit proceedings at the discretion of the Director where new 
requirements become effective during the permitting process and are of 
sufficient magnitude to make additional proceedings desirable. For State 
and EPA administered programs, an applicable requirement is also any 
requirement which takes effect prior to the modification or revocation 
and reissuance of a permit, to the extent allowed in Sec. 270.41.

[[Page 344]]

    (d) New or reissued permits, and to the extent allowed under 
Sec. 270.41, modified or revoked and reissued permits, shall incorporate 
each of the applicable requirements referenced in this section and in 40 
CFR 270.31.
    (e) Incorporation. All permit conditions shall be incorporated 
either expressly or by reference. If incorporated by reference, a 
specific citation to the applicable regulations or requirements must be 
given in the permit.

FR 40653, Nov. 7, 1986]



Sec. 270.33  Schedules of compliance.

    (a) The permit may, when appropriate, specify a schedule of 
compliance leading to compliance with the Act and regulations.
    (1) Time for compliance. Any schedules of compliance under this 
section shall require compliance as soon as possible.
    (2) Interim dates. Except as provided in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of 
this section, if a permit establishes a schedule of compliance which 
exceeds 1 year from the date of permit issuance, the schedule shall set 
forth interim requirements and the dates for their achievement.
    (i) The time between interim dates shall not exceed 1 year.
    (ii) If the time necessary for completion of any interim requirement 
is more than 1 year and is not readily divisible into stages for 
completion, the permit shall specify interim dates for the submission of 
reports of progress toward completion of the interim requirements and 
indicate a projected completion date.
    (3) Reporting. The permit shall be written to require that no later 
than 14 days following each interim date and the final date of 
compliance, the permittee shall notify the Director in writing, of its 
compliance or noncompliance with the interim or final requirements.
    (b) Alternative schedules of compliance. An RCRA permit applicant or 
permittee may cease conducting regulated activities (by receiving a 
terminal volume of hazardous waste and, for treatment and storage HWM 
facilities, closing pursuant to applicable requirements; and, for 
disposal HWM facilities, closing and conducting post-closure care 
pursuant to applicable requirements) rather than continue to operate and 
meet permit requirements as follows:
    (1) If the permittee decides to cease conducting regulated 
activities at a given time within the term of a permit which has already 
been issued:
    (i) The permit may be modified to contain a new or additional 
schedule leading to timely cessation of activities; or
    (ii) The permittee shall cease conducting permitted activities 
before noncompliance with any interim or final compliance schedule 
requirement already specified in the permit.
    (2) If the decision to cease conducting regulated activities is made 
before issuance of a permit whose term will include the termination 
date, the permit shall contain a schedule leading to termination which 
will ensure timely compliance with applicable requirements.
    (3) If the permittee is undecided whether to cease conducting 
regulated activities, the Director may issue or modify a permit to 
contain two schedules as follows:
    (i) Both schedules shall contain an identical interim deadline 
requiring a final decision on whether to cease conducting regulated 
activities no later than a date which ensures sufficient time to comply 
with applicable requirements in a timely manner if the decision is to 
continue conducting regulated activities;
    (ii) One schedule shall lead to timely compliance with applicable 
requirements;
    (iii) The second schedule shall lead to cessation of regulated 
activities by a date which will ensure timely compliance with applicable 
requirements;
    (iv) Each permit containing two schedules shall include a 
requirement that after the permittee has made a final decision under 
paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section it shall follow the schedule leading 
to compliance if the decision is to continue conducting regulated 
activities, and follow the schedule leading to termination if the 
decision is to cease conducting regulated activities.
    (4) The applicant's or permittee's decision to cease conducting 
regulated

[[Page 345]]

activities shall be evidenced by a firm public commitment satisfactory 
to the Director, such as resolution of the board of directors of a 
corporation.

must also be submitted to the Director. When a transfer of ownership or 
operational control occurs, the old owner or operator shall comply with 
the requirements of 40 CFR part 264, subpart H (Financial Requirements) 
until the new owner or operator has demonstrated that he or she is 
complying with the requirements of that subpart. The new owner or 
operator must demonstrate compliance with subpart H requirements within 
six months of the date of the change of ownership or operational control 
of the facility. Upon demonstration to the Director by the new owner or 
operator of compliance with subpart H, the Director shall notify the old 
owner or operator that he or she no longer needs to comply with subpart 
H as of the date of demonstration.

[53 FR 37935, Sept. 28, 1988]



Sec. 270.41  Modification or revocation and reissuance of permits.

    When the Director receives any information (for example, inspects 
the facility, receives information submitted by the permittee as 
required in the permit (see Sec. 270.30), receives a request for 
revocation and reissuance under Sec. 124.5 or conducts a review of the 
permit file), he or she may determine whether one or more of the causes 
listed in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section for modification, or 
revocation and reissuance or both exist. If cause exists, the Director 
may modify or revoke and reissue the permit accordingly, subject to the 
limitations of paragraph (c) of this section, and may request an updated 
application if necessary. When a permit is modified, only the conditions 
subject to modification are reopened. If a permit is revoked and 
reissued, the entire permit is reopened and subject to revision and the 
permit is reissued for a new term. (See 40 CFR 124.5(c)(2).) If cause 
does not exist under this section, the Director shall not modify or 
revoke and reissue the permit, except on request of the permittee. If a 
permit modification is requested by the permittee, the Director shall 
approve or deny the request according to the procedures of 40 CFR 
270.42. Otherwise, a draft permit must be prepared and other procedures 
in part 124 (or procedures of an authorized State program) followed.
    (a) Causes for modification. The following are causes for 
modification, but not revocation and reissuance, of permits; the 
following may be causes for revocation and reissuance, as well as 
modification, when the permittee requests or agrees.
    (1) Alterations. There are material and substantial alterations or 
additions to the permitted facility or activity which occurred after 
permit issuance which justify the application of permit conditions that 
are different or absent in the existing permit.
    (2) Information. The Director has received information. Permits may 
be modified during their terms for this cause only if the information 
was not available at the time of permit issuance (other than revised 
regulations, guidance, or test methods) and would have justified the 
application of different permit conditions at the time of issuance.
    (3) New statutory requirements or regulations. The standards or 
regulations on which the permit was based have been

[[Page 346]]

changed by statute, through promulgation of new or amended standards or 
regulations, or by judicial decision after the permit was issued.
    (4) Compliance schedules. The Director determines good cause exists 
for modification of a compliance schedule, such as an act of God, 
strike, flood, or materials shortage or other events over which the 
permittee has little or no control and for which there is no reasonably 
available remedy.
    (5) Notwithstanding any other provision in this section, when a 
permit for a land disposal facility is reviewed by the Director under 
Sec. 270.50(d), the Director shall modify the permit as necessary to 
assure that the facility continues to comply with the currently 
applicable requirements in parts 124, 260 through 266, and 270.
    (b) Causes for modification or revocation and reissuance. The 
following are causes to modify or, alternatively, revoke and reissue a 
permit:
    (1) Cause exists for termination under Sec. 270.43, and the Director 
determines that modification or revocation and reissuance is 
appropriate.
    (2) The Director has received notification (as required in the 
permit, see Sec. 270.30(l)(3)) of a proposed transfer of the permit.
    (c) Facility siting. Suitability of the facility location will not 
be considered at the time of permit modification or revocation and 
reissuance unless new information or standards indicate that a threat to 
human health or the environmental exists which was unknown at the time 
of permit issuance.

Director may for cause reject, any Class 1 modification. The Director 
must inform the permittee by certified mail that a Class 1 modification 
has been rejected, explaining the reasons for the rejection. If a Class 
1 modification has been rejected, the permittee must comply with the 
original permit conditions.
    (2) Class 1 permit modifications identified in appendix I by an 
asterisk may be made only with the prior written approval of the 
Director.
    (3) For a Class 1 permit modification, the permittee may elect to

be submitted to the Agency contact identified in the public notice.
    (6)(i) No later than 90 days after receipt of the notification 
request, the Director must:
    (A) Approve the modification request, with or without changes, and 
modify the permit accordingly;
    (B) Deny the request;
    (C) Determine that the modification request must follow the 
procedures in Sec. 270.42(c) for Class 3 modifications for the following 
reasons:
    (1) There is significant public concern about the proposed 
modification; or
    (2) The complex nature of the change requires the more extensive 
procedures of Class 3.
    (D) Approve the request, with or without changes, as a temporary

of the modification request, the permittee is automatically authorized 
to conduct the activities described in the modification request for up 
to 180 days, without formal Agency action. The authorized activities 
must be conducted as described in the permit

[[Page 348]]

modification request and must be in compliance with all appropriate 
standards of 40 CFR part 265. If the Director approves, with or without 
changes, or denies the modification request during the term of the 
temporary or automatic authorization provided for in paragraphs (b)(6) 
(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section, such action cancels the temporary 
or automatic authorization.
    (iv)(A) In the case of an automatic authorization under paragraph 
(b)(6)(iii) of this section, or a temporary authorization under 
paragraph (b)(6) (i)(D) or (ii)(D) of this section, if the Director has 
not made a final approval or denial of the modification request by the 
date 50 days prior to the end of the temporary or automatic 
authorization, the permittee must within seven days of that time send a 
notification to persons on the facility mailing list, and make a 
reasonable effort to notify other persons who submitted written comments 
on the modification request, that:
    (1) The permittee has been authorized temporarily to conduct the 
activities described in the permit modification request, and
    (2) Unless the Director acts to give final approval or denial of the 
request by the end of the authorization period, the permittee will 
receive authorization to conduct such activities for the life of the 
permit.
    (B) If the owner/operator fails to notify the public by the date

of the permanent authorization will be deferred until 50 days after the 
owner/operator notifies the public.
    (v) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(6)(vii) of this section, if 
the Director does not finally approve or deny a modification request 
before the end of the automatic or temporary authorization period or 
reclassify the modification as a Class 3, the permittee is authorized to 
conduct the activities described in the permit modification request for 
the life of the permit unless modified later under Sec. 270.41 or 
Sec. 270.42. The activities authorized under this paragraph must be 
conducted as described in the permit modification request and must be in 
compliance with all appropriate standards of 40 CFR part 265.
    (vi) In making a decision to approve or deny a modification request, 
including a decision to issue a temporary authorization or to reclassify 
a modification as a Class 3, the Director must consider all written 
comments submitted to the Agency during the public comment period and 
must respond in writing to all significant comments in his or her 
decision.
    (vii) With the written consent of the permittee, the Director may 
extend indefinitely or for a specified period the time periods for final 
approval or denial of a modification request or for reclassifying a 
modification as a Class 3.

section for the following reasons:
    (i) The modification request is incomplete;
    (ii) The requested modification does not comply with the appropriate 
requirements of 40 CFR part 264 or other applicable requirements; or
    (iii) The conditions of the modification fail to protect human 
health and the environment.
    (8) The permittee may perform any construction associated with a 
Class 2 permit modification request beginning 60 days after the 
submission of the request unless the Director establishes a later date 
for commencing construction and informs the permittee in writing before 
day 60.
    (c) Class 3 modifications. (1) For Class 3 modifications listed in 
appendix I of this section, the permittee must submit a modification 
request to the Director that:
    (i) Describes the exact change to be made to the permit conditions 
and supporting documents referenced by the permit;
    (ii) Identifies that the modification is a Class 3 modification;
    (iii) Explains why the modification is needed; and
    (iv) Provides the applicable information required by 40 CFR 270.13 
through 270.22, 270.62, 270.63, and 270.66.

[[Page 349]]

    (2) The permittee must send a notice of the modification request to 
all persons on the facility mailing list maintained by the Director and 
to the appropriate units of State and local government as specified in

request and supporting documents in a location accessible to the public 
in the vicinity of the permitted facility.
    (4) The permittee must hold a public meeting no earlier than 15 days 
after the publication of the notice required in paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section and no later than 15 days before the close of the 60-day comment 
period. The meeting must be held to the extent practicable in the 
vicinity of the permitted facility.
    (5) The public shall be provided at least 60 days to comment on the 
modification request. The comment period will begin on the date the 
permittee publishes the notice in the local newspaper. Comments should 
be submitted to the Agency contact identified in the notice.
    (6) After the conclusion of the 60-day comment period, the Director 
must grant or deny the permit modification request according to the 
permit modification procedures of 40 CFR part 124. In addition, the 
Director must consider and respond to all significant written comments 
received during the 60-day comment period.
    (d) Other modifications. (1) In the case of modifications not 
explicitly listed in appendix I of this section, the permittee may 
submit a Class 3 modification request to the Agency, or he or she may 
request a determination by the Director that the modification should be 
reviewed and approved as a Class 1 or Class 2 modification. If the 
permittee requests that the modification be classified as a Class 1 or 2 
modification, he or she must provide the Agency with the necessary 
information to support the requested classification.
    (2) The Director shall make the determination described in paragraph 
(d)(1) of this section as promptly as practicable. In determining the 
appropriate class for a specific modification, the Director shall 
consider the similarity of the modification to other modifications 
codified in appendix I and the following criteria:
    (i) Class 1 modifications apply to minor changes that keep the 
permit current with routine changes to the facility or its operation. 
These changes do no substantially alter the permit conditions or reduce 
the capacity of the facility to protect human health or the environment. 
In the case of Class 1 modifications, the Director may require prior 
approval.
    (ii) Class 2 modifications apply to changes that are necessary to 
enable a permittee to respond, in a timely manner, to,
    (A) Common variations in the types and quantities of the wastes 
managed under the facility permit,
    (B) Technological advancements, and
    (C) Changes necessary to comply with new regulations, where these 
changes can be implemented without substantially changing design 
specifications or management practices in the permit.
    (iii) Class 3 modifications substantially alter the facility or its 
operation.

[[Page 350]]

    (e) Temporary authorizations. (1) Upon request of the permittee, the 
Director may, without prior public notice and comment, grant the

(e)(3)(ii) of this section, and
    (B) Any Class 3 modification that meets the criteria in paragraph 
(3)(ii) (A) or (B) of this section; or that meets the criteria in 
paragraphs (3)(ii) (C) through (E) of this section and provides improved 
management or treatment of a hazardous waste already listed in the 
facility permit.
    (ii) The temporary authorization request must include:
    (A) A description of the activities to be conducted under the

    (C) Sufficient information to ensure compliance with 40 CFR part 264 
standards.
    (iii) The permittee must send a notice about the temporary 
authorization request to all persons on the facility mailing list 
maintained by the Director and to appropriate units of State and local 
governments as specified in 40 CFR 124.10(c)(ix). This notification must 
be made within seven days of submission of the authorization request.
    (3) The Director shall approve or deny the temporary authorization 
as quickly as practical. To issue a temporary authorization, the 
Director must find:
    (i) The authorized activities are in compliance with the standards 
of 40 CFR part 264.
    (ii) The temporary authorization is necessary to achieve one of the 
following objectives before action is likely to be taken on a 
modification request:
    (A) To facilitate timely implementation of closure or corrective 
action activities;
    (B) To allow treatment or storage in tanks or containers, or in 
containment buildings in accordance with 40 CFR part 268;
    (C) To prevent disruption of ongoing waste management activities;
    (D) To enable the permittee to respond to sudden changes in the

    (E) To facilitate other changes to protect human health and the 
environment.
    (4) A temporary authorization may be reissued for one additional 
term of up to 180 days provided that the permittee has requested a Class 
2 or 3 permit modification for the activity covered in the temporary 
authorization, and:
    (i) The reissued temporary authorization constitutes the Director's 
decision on a Class 2 permit modification in accordance with paragraph 
(b)(6)(i)(D) or (ii)(D) of this section, or
    (ii) The Director determines that the reissued temporary 
authorization involving a Class 3 permit modification request is 
warranted to allow the authorized activities to continue while the 
modification procedures of paragraph (c) of this section are conducted.
    (f) Public notice and appeals of permit modification decisions. (1) 
The Director shall notify persons on the facility mailing list and 
appropriate units of State and local government within 10 days of any 
decision under this section to grant or deny a Class 2 or 3 permit 
modification request. The Director shall also notify such persons within 
10 days after an automatic authorization for a Class 2 modification goes 
into effect under Sec. 270.42(b)(6) (iii) or (v).
    (2) The Director's decision to grant or deny a Class 2 or 3 permit 
modification request under this section may be appealed under the permit 
appeal procedures of 40 CFR 124.19.
    (3) An automatic authorization that goes into effect under 
Sec. 270.42(b)(6) (iii) or (v) may be appealed under the permit appeal 
procedures of 40 CFR 124.19; however, the permittee may continue to 
conduct the activities pursuant to the automatic authorization until the 
appeal has been granted pursuant to Sec. 124.19(c), notwithstanding the 
provisions of Sec. 124.15(b).

Sec. 270.51  Continuation of expiring permits.

    (a) EPA permits. When EPA is the permit-issuing authority, the 
conditions of an expired permit continue in force under 5 U.S.C. 558(c) 
until the effective date of a new permit (see Sec. 124.15) if:
    (1) The permittee has submitted a timely application under 
Sec. 270.14 and the applicable sections in Secs. 270.15 through 270.29 
which is a complete (under Sec. 270.10(c)) application for a new permit; 
and
    (2) The Regional Administrator through no fault of the permittee, 
does not issue a new permit with an effective date under Sec. 124.15 on 
or before the expiration date of the previous permit (for example, when 
issuance is impracticable due to time or resource constraints).
    (b) Effect. Permits continued under this section remain fully 
effective and enforceable.
    (c) Enforcement. When the permittee is not in compliance with the 
conditions of the expiring or expired permit, the Regional Administrator 
may choose to do any or all of the following:
    (1) Initiate enforcement action based upon the permit which has been 
continued;
    (2) Issue a notice of intent to deny the new permit under 
Sec. 124.6. If the permit is denied, the owner or operator would then be 
required to cease the activities authorized by the continued permit or 
be subject to enforcement action for operating without a permit;
    (3) Issue a new permit under part 124 with appropriate conditions; 
or
    (4) Take other actions authorized by these regulations.
    (d) State continuation. In a State with an hazardous waste program 
authorized under 40 CFR part 271, if a permittee has submitted a timely 
and complete application under applicable State law and regulations, the 
terms and conditions of an EPA-issued RCRA permit continue in force 
beyond the expiration date of the permit, but only until the effective 
date of the State's issuance or denial of a State RCRA permit.

Sec. 270.62  Hazardous waste incinerator permits.

    (a) For the purposes of determining operational readiness following 
completion of physical construction, the

[[Page 359]]

Director must establish permit conditions, including but not limited to 
allowable waste feeds and operating conditions, in the permit to a new 
hazardous waste incinerator. These permit conditions will be effective 
for the minimum time required to bring the incinerator to a point of 
operational readiness to conduct a trial burn, not to exceed 720 hours 
operating time for treatment of hazardous waste. The Director may extend 
the duration of this operational period once, for up to 720 additional 
hours, at the request of the applicant when good cause is shown. The 
permit may be modified to reflect the extension according to Sec. 270.42 
of this chapter.
    (1) Applicants must submit a statement, with part B of the permit 
application, which suggests the conditions necessary to operate in 
compliance with the performance standards of Sec. 264.343 of this

of the waste.
    (C) An identification of any hazardous organic constituents listed 
in part 261, appendix VIII of this chapter, which are present in the 
waste to be burned, except that the applicant need not analyze for 
constituents listed in part 261, appendix VIII, of this chapter which 
would reasonably not be expected to be found in the waste. The 
constituents excluded from analysis must be identified, and the basis 
for the exclusion stated. The waste analysis must rely on analytical 
techniques specified in ``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, 
Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by 
reference in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter and Sec. 270.6, or other 
equivalent.

the sufficiency of the information provided and may require the 
applicant to supplement this information, if necessary, to achieve the 
purposes of this paragraph.
    (4) Based on the waste analysis data in the trial burn plan, the 
Director will specify as trial Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents 
(POHCs), those constituents for which destruction and removal 
efficiencies must be calculated during the trial burn. These trial POHCs 
will be specified by the Director based on his estimate of the 
difficulty of incineration of the constituents identified in the waste 
analysis, their concentration or mass in the waste feed, and, for wastes 
listed in part 261, subpart D, of this chapter, the hazardous waste 
organic constituent or constituents identified in appendix VII of that 
part as the basis for listing.
    (5) The Director shall approve a trial burn plan if he finds that:
    (i) The trial burn is likely to determine whether the incinerator 
performance standard required by Sec. 264.343 of this chapter can be 
met;
    (ii) The trial burn itself will not present an imminent hazard to 
human health or the environment;
    (iii) The trial burn will help the Director to determine operating 
requirements to be specified under Sec. 264.345 of this chapter; and
    (iv) The information sought in paragraphs (b)(5) (i) and (ii) of 
this section cannot reasonably be developed through other means.
    (6) The Director must send a notice to all persons on the facility 
mailing list as set forth in 40 CFR 124.10(c)(1)(ix) and to the 
appropriate units of State and local government as set forth in 40 CFR

dates for the trial burn. The applicant may not commence the trial burn 
until after the Director has issued such notice.
    (i) This notice must be mailed within a reasonable time period 
before the scheduled trial burn. An additional notice is not required if 
the trial burn is delayed due to circumstances beyond the control of the 
facility or the permitting agency.
    (ii) This notice must contain:
    (A) The name and telephone number of the applicant's contact person;
    (B) The name and telephone number of the permitting agency's contact 
office;
    (C) The location where the approved trial burn plan and any 
supporting documents can be reviewed and copied; and
    (D) An expected time period for commencement and completion of the 
trial burn.
    (7) During each approved trial burn (or as soon after the burn as is 
practicable), the applicant must make the following determinations:
    (i) A quantitative analysis of the trial POHCs in the waste feed to 
the incinerator.
    (ii) A quantitative analysis of the exhaust gas for the 
concentration and mass emissions of the trial POHCs, oxygen 
(O2) and hydrogen chloride (HCl).
    (iii) A quantitative analysis of the scrubber water (if any), ash 
residues, and other residues, for the purpose of estimating the fate of 
the trial POHCs.

    (9) All data collected during any trial burn must be submitted to 
the Director following the completion of the trial burn.
    (10) All submissions required by this paragraph must be certified on 
behalf of the applicant by the signature of a person authorized to sign 
a permit application or a report under Sec. 270.11.
    (11) Based on the results of the trial burn, the Director shall set 
the operating requirements in the final permit according to Sec. 264.345 
of this chapter. The permit modification shall proceed according to 
Sec. 270.42.
    (c) For the purposes of allowing operation of a new hazardous waste 
incinerator following completion of the trial burn and prior to final 
modification of the permit conditions to reflect the trial burn results, 
the Director may establish permit conditions, including but not limited 
to allowable waste feeds and operating conditions sufficient to meet the

and the time period during which the trial burn would be conducted. 
Applicants submitting information under Sec. 270.19(a) are exempt from 
compliance with 40 CFR 264.343 and 264.345 and, therefore, are exempt 
from the requirement to conduct a trial burn. Applicants who submit 
trial burn plans and receive approval before submission of a permit 
application must complete the trial burn and submit the results, 
specified in paragraph (b)(7) of this section, with part B of the permit 
application. If completion of this process conflicts with the date set 
for submission of the part B application, the applicant must contact the 
Director to establish a later date for submission of the part B 
application or the trial burn results. Trial burn results must be 
submitted prior to issuance of the permit. When the applicant submits a 
trial burn plan with part B of the permit application, the Director will 
specify a time period prior to permit issuance in which the trial burn 
must be conducted and the results submitted.

Sec. 270.63  Permits for land treatment demonstrations using field test or laboratory analyses.

    (a) For the purpose of allowing an owner or operator to meet the 
treatment demonstration requirements of Sec. 264.272 of this chapter, 
the Director may issue a treatment demonstration permit. The permit must 
contain only those requirements necessary to meet the standards in 
Sec. 264.272(c). The permit may be issued either as a treatment or 
disposal permit covering only the field test or laboratory analyses, or 
as a two-phase facility permit covering the field tests, or laboratory 
analyses, and design, construction operation and maintenance of the land 
treatment unit.
    (1) The Director may issue a two-phase facility permit if he finds 
that, based on information submitted in part B of the application, 
substantial, although incomplete or inconclusive, information already 
exists upon which to base the issuance of a facility permit.
    (2) If the Director finds that not enough information exists upon 
which he can establish permit conditions to attempt to provide for 
compliance with all of the requirements of subpart M, he must issue a 
treatment demonstration permit covering only the field test or 
laboratory analyses.
    (b) If the Director finds that a phased permit may be issued, he 
will establish, as requirements in the first phase of the facility 
permit, conditions for conducting the field tests or laboratory 
analyses. These permit conditions will include design and operating 
parameters (including the duration of the tests or analyses and, in the 
case of field tests, the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the 
treatment zone), monitoring procedures, post-demonstration clean-up 
activities, and any other conditions which the Director finds may be 
necessary under Sec. 264.272(c). The Director will include conditions in 
the second phase of the facility permit to attempt to meet all subpart M 
requirements pertaining to unit design, construction, operation, and 
maintenance. The Director will establish these conditions in the second 
phase of the permit based upon the substantial but incomplete or 
inconclusive information contained in the part B application.
    (1) The first phase of the permit will be effective as provided in 
Sec. 124.15(b) of this chapter.
    (2) The second phase of the permit will be effective as provided in 
paragraph (d) of this section.
    (c) When the owner or operator who has been issued a two-phase 
permit has completed the treatment demonstration, he must submit to the 
Director a certification, signed by a person authorized to sign a permit 
application or report under Sec. 270.11, that the field tests or 
laboratory analyses have been carried out in accordance with the 
conditions specified in phase one of the permit for conducting such 
tests or analyses. The owner or operator must also submit all data 
collected during the field tests or laboratory analyses within 90 days 
of completion of those tests

[[Page 363]]

or analyses unless the Director approves a later date.
    (d) If the Director determines that the results of the field tests 
or laboratory analyses meet the requirements of Sec. 264.272 of this 
chapter, he will modify the second phase of the permit to incorporate 
any requirements necessary for operation of the facility in compliance 
with part 264, subpart M, of this chapter, based upon the results of the 
field tests or laboratory analyses.
    (1) This permit modification may proceed under Sec. 270.42, or 
otherwise will proceed as a modification under Sec. 270.41(a)(2). If 
such modifications are necessary, the second phase of the permit will 
become effective only after those modifications have been made.
    (2) If no modifications of the second phase of the permit are 
necessary, the Director will give notice of his final decision to the 
permit applicant and to each person who submitted written comments on 
the phased permit or who requested notice of the final decision on the 
second phase of the permit. The second phase of the permit then will 
become effective as specified in Sec. 124.15(b).

applicants owning or operating existing boilers or industrial furnaces 
operated under the interim status standards of Sec. 266.103 of this 
chapter must either prepare and submit a trial burn plan and perform a 
trial burn in accordance with the requirements of this section or submit 
other information as specified in Sec. 270.22(a)(6). The Director must 
announce his or her intention to approve of the trial burn plan in 
accordance with the timing and distribution requirements of paragraph 
(d)(3) of this section. The contents of the notice must include: the 
name and telephone number of a contact person at the facility; the name 
and telephone number of a contact office at the permitting agency; the 
location where the trial burn plan and any supporting documents can be 
reviewed and copied; and a schedule of the activities that are required 
prior to permit issuance, including the anticipated time schedule for 
agency approval of the plan and the time periods during which the trial 
burn would be conducted. Applicants who submit a trial burn plan and 
receive approval before submission of the part B permit application must 
complete the trial burn and submit the results specified in paragraph 
(f) of this section with the part B permit application. If completion of 
this process conflicts with the date set for submission of the part B 
application, the applicant must contact the Director to establish a 
later date for submission of the part B application or the trial burn 
results. If the applicant submits a trial burn plan with part B of the 
permit application, the trial burn must be conducted and the results 
submitted within a time period prior to permit issuance to be specified 
by the Director.

    (a) Any person who owns or operates an ``existing HWM facility'' or 
a facility in existence on the effective date of statutory or regulatory 
amendments under the Act that render the facility subject to the 
requirement to have an RCRA permit shall have interim status and shall 
be treated as having been issued a permit to the extent he or she has:
    (1) Complied with the requirements of section 3010(a) of RCRA 
pertaining to notification of hazardous waste activity.

[Comment: Some existing facilities may not be required to file a 
notification under section 3010(a) of RCRA. These facilities may qualify 
for interim status by meeting paragraph (a)(2) of this section.]

    (2) Complied with the requirements of Sec. 270.10 governing 
submission of part A applications;
    (b) Failure to qualify for interim status. If EPA has reason to 
believe upon examination of a part A application that it fails to meet 
the requirements of Sec. 270.13, it shall notify the owner or operator 
in writing of the apparent deficiency. Such notice shall specify the 
grounds for EPA's belief that the application is deficient. The owner or 
operator shall have 30 days from receipt to respond to such a 
notification and to explain or cure the alleged deficiency in his part A 
application. If, after such notification and opportunity for response, 
EPA determines that the application is deficient it may take appropriate 
enforcement action.
    (c) Paragraph (a) of this section shall not apply to any facility 
which has been previously denied a RCRA permit or if authority to 
operate the facility under RCRA has been previously terminated.

FR 28753, July 15, 1985]



Sec. 270.71  Operation during interim status.

    (a) During the interim status period the facility shall not:
    (1) Treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste not specified in 
part A of the permit application;
    (2) Employ processes not specified in part A of the permit 
application; or
    (3) Exceed the design capacities specified in part A of the permit 
application.
    (b) Interim status standards. During interim status, owners or 
operators shall comply with the interim status standards at 40 CFR part 
265.



Sec. 270.72  Changes during interim status.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), the owner or operator of an 
interim status facility may make the following changes at the facility:
    (1) Treatment, storage, or disposal of new hazardous wastes not 
previously identified in part A of the permit application (and, in the 
case of newly listed or identified wastes, addition of the units being 
used to treat, store, or dispose of the hazardous wastes on the 
effective date of the listing or identification) if the owner or 
operator submits a revised part A permit application prior to such 
treatment, storage, or disposal;
    (2) Increases in the design capacity of processes used at the 
facility if the owner or operator submits a revised part A permit 
application prior to such a change (along with a justification 
explaining the need for the change) and the Director approves the 
changes because:
    (i) There is a lack of available treatment, storage, or disposal 
capacity at other hazardous waste management facilities, or
    (ii) The change is necessary to comply with a Federal, State, or 
local requirement.
    (3) Changes in the processes for the treatment, storage, or disposal 
of hazardous waste or addition of processes if the owner or operator 
submits a revised part A permit application prior to such change (along 
with a justification explaining the need for the change) and the 
Director approves the change because:

[[Page 369]]

    (i) The change is necessary to prevent a threat to human health and 
the environment because of an emergency situation, or
    (ii) The change is necessary to comply with a Federal, State, or 
local requirement.
    (4) Changes in the ownership or operational control of a facility if 
the new owner or operator submits a revised part A permit application no 
later than 90 days prior to the scheduled change. When a transfer of 
operational control of a facility occurs, the old owner or operator 
shall comply with the requirements of 40 CFR part 265, subpart H 
(Financial Requirements), until the new owner or operator has 
demonstrated to the Director that he is complying with the requirements 
of that subpart. The new owner or operator must demonstrate compliance 
with subpart H requirements within six months of the date of the change 
in ownership or operational control of the facility. Upon demonstration 
to the Director by the new owner or operator of compliance with subpart 
H, the Director shall notify the old owner or operator in writing that 
he no longer needs to comply with subpart H as of the date of 
demonstration. All other interim status duties are transferred effective 
immediately upon the date of the change in ownership or operational 
control of the facility.
    (5) Changes made in accordance with an interim status corrective 
action order issued by EPA under section 3008(h) or other Federal 
authority, by an authorized State under comparable State authority, or 
by a court in a judicial action brought by EPA or by an authorized 
State. Changes under this paragraph are limited to the treatment, 
storage, or disposal of solid waste from releases that originate within 
the boundary of the facility.
    (6) Addition of newly regulated units for the treatment, storage, or 
disposal of hazardous waste if the owner or operator submits a revised 
part A permit application on or before the date on which the unit 
becomes subject to the new requirements.
    (b) Except as specifically allowed under this paragraph, changes 
listed under paragraph (a) of this section may not be made if they 
amount to reconstruction of the hazardous waste management facility. 
Reconstruction occurs when the capital investment in the changes to the 
facility exceeds 50 percent of the capital cost of a comparable entirely 
new hazardous waste management facility. If all other requirements are 
met, the following changes may be made even if they amount to a 
reconstruction:
    (1) Changes made solely for the purposes of complying with the 
requirements of 40 CFR 265.193 for tanks and ancillary equipment.
    (2) If necessary to comply with Federal, State, or local 
requirements, changes to an existing unit, changes solely involving 
tanks or containers, or addition of replacement surface inpoundments 
that satisfy the standards of section 3004(o).
    (3) Changes that are necessary to allow owners or operators to 
continue handling newly listed or identified hazardous wastes that have 
been treated, stored, or disposed of at the facility prior to the 
effective date of the rule establishing the new listing or 
identification.
    (4) Changes during closure of a facility or of a unit within a 
facility made in accordance with an approved closure plan.
    (5) Changes necessary to comply with an interim status corrective 
action order issued by EPA under section 3008(h) or other Federal 
authority, by an authorized State under comparable State authority, or 
by a court in a judicial proceeding brought by EPA or an authorized 
State, provided that such changes are limited to the treatment, storage, 
or disposal of solid waste from releases that originate within the 
boundary of the facility.
    (6) Changes to treat or store, in tanks, containers, or containment 
buildings, hazardous wastes subject to land disposal restrictions 
imposed by part 268 of this chapter or RCRA section 3004, provided that 
such changes are made solely for the purpose of complying with part 268 
of this chapter or RCRA section 3004.
    (7) Addition of newly regulated units under paragraph (a)(6) of this 
section.

                 Subpart H--Remedial Action Plans (RAPs)

    Source: 63 FR 65941, Nov. 30, 1998, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 270.79  Why is this subpart written in a special format?

    This subpart is written in a special format to make it easier to 
understand the regulatory requirements. Like other Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, this establishes enforceable legal 
requirements. For this Subpart, ``I'' and ``you'' refer to the owner/
operator.

                           General Information



Sec. 270.80  What is a RAP?

    (a) A RAP is a special form of RCRA permit that you, as an owner or 
operator, may obtain, instead of a permit issued under Secs. 270.3 
through 270.66, to authorize you to treat, store, or dispose of 
hazardous remediation waste (as defined in Sec. 260.10 of this chapter) 
at a remediation waste management site. A RAP may only be issued for the 
area of contamination where the remediation wastes to be managed under 
the RAP originated, or areas in close proximity to the contaminated 
area, except

[[Page 371]]

as allowed in limited circumstances under Sec. 270.230.
    (b) The requirements in Secs. 270.3 through 270.66 do not apply to 
RAPs unless those requirements for traditional RCRA permits are 
specifically required under Secs. 270.80 through 270.230. The 
definitions in Sec. 270.2 apply to RAPs.
    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part or part 124 of 
this chapter, any document that meets the requirements in this section 
constitutes a RCRA permit under RCRA section 3005(c).
    (d) A RAP may be:
    (1) A stand-alone document that includes only the information and 
conditions required by this subpart; or
    (2) Part (or parts) of another document that includes information 
and/or conditions for other activities at the remediation waste 
management site, in addition to the information and conditions required 
by this subpart.
    (e) If you are treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous 
remediation wastes as part of a cleanup compelled by Federal or State 
cleanup authorities, your RAP does not affect your obligations under 
those authorities in any way.
    (f) If you receive a RAP at a facility operating under interim 
status, the RAP does not terminate your interim status.



Sec. 270.85  When do I need a RAP?

    (a) Whenever you treat, store, or dispose of hazardous remediation 
wastes in a manner that requires a RCRA permit under Sec. 270.1, you 
must either obtain:
    (1) A RCRA permit according to Secs. 270.3 through 270.66; or
    (2) A RAP according to this subpart.
    (b) Treatment units that use combustion of hazardous remediation 
wastes at a remediation waste management site are not eligible for RAPs 
under this Subpart.
    (c) You may obtain a RAP for managing hazardous remediation waste at 
an already permitted RCRA facility. You must have these RAPs approved as 
a modification to your existing permit according to the requirements of 
Sec. 270.41 or Sec. 270.42 instead of the requirements in this Subpart. 
When you submit an application for such a modification, however, the 
information requirements in Sec. 270.42(a)(1)(i), (b)(1)(iv), and 
(c)(1)(iv) do not apply; instead, you must submit the information 
required under Sec. 270.110. When your permit is modified the RAP 
becomes part of the RCRA permit. Therefore when your permit (including 
the RAP portion) is modified, revoked and reissued, terminated or when 
it expires, it will be modified according to the applicable requirements 
in Secs. 270.40 through 270.42, revoked and reissued according to the 
applicable requirements in Secs. 270.41 and 270.43, terminated according 
to the applicable requirements in Sec. 270.43, and expire according to 
the applicable requirements in Secs. 270.50 and 270.51.



Sec. 270.90  Does my RAP grant me any rights or relieve me of any obligations?

    The provisions of Sec. 270.4 apply to RAPs. (Note: The provisions of 
Sec. 270.4(a) provide you assurance that, as long as you comply with 
your RAP, EPA will consider you in compliance with Subtitle C of RCRA, 
and will not take enforcement actions against you. However, you should 
be aware of four exceptions to this provision that are listed in 
Sec. 270.4.)

                           Applying for a RAP



Sec. 270.95  How do I apply for a RAP?

    To apply for a RAP, you must complete an application, sign it, and 
submit it to the Director according to the requirements in this subpart.



Sec. 270.100  Who must obtain a RAP?

    When a facility or remediation waste management site is owned by one 
person, but the treatment, storage or disposal activities are operated 
by another person, it is the operator's duty to obtain a RAP, except 
that the owner must also sign the RAP application.



Sec. 270.105  Who must sign the application and any required reports for a RAP?

    Both the owner and the operator must sign the RAP application and 
any required reports according to Sec. 270.11(a), (b), and (c). In the 
application, both the owner and the operator must also make the 
certification required under

[[Page 372]]

Sec. 270.11(d)(1). However, the owner may choose the alternative 
certification under Sec. 270.11(d)(2) if the operator certifies under 
Sec. 270.11(d)(1).



Sec. 270.110  What must I include in my application for a RAP?

    You must include the following information in your application for a 
RAP:
    (a) The name, address, and EPA identification number of the 
remediation waste management site;
    (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the owner and 
operator;
    (c) The latitude and longitude of the site;
    (d) The United States Geological Survey (USGS) or county map showing 
the location of the remediation waste management site;
    (e) A scaled drawing of the remediation waste management site 
showing:
    (1) The remediation waste management site boundaries;
    (2) Any significant physical structures; and
    (3) The boundary of all areas on-site where remediation waste is to 
be treated, stored or disposed;
    (f) A specification of the hazardous remediation waste to be 
treated, stored or disposed of at the facility or remediation waste 
management site. This must include information on:
    (1) Constituent concentrations and other properties of the hazardous 
remediation wastes that may affect how such materials should be treated 
and/or otherwise managed;
    (2) An estimate of the quantity of these wastes; and
    (3) A description of the processes you will use to treat, store, or 
dispose of this waste including technologies, handling systems, design 
and operating parameters you will use to treat hazardous remediation 
wastes before disposing of them according to the LDR standards of part 
268 of this chapter, as applicable;
    (g) Enough information to demonstrate that operations that follow 
the provisions in your RAP application will ensure compliance with 
applicable requirements of parts 264, 266, and 268 of this chapter;
    (h) Such information as may be necessary to enable the Regional 
Administrator to carry out his duties under other Federal laws as is 
required for traditional RCRA permits under Sec. 270.14(b)(20);
    (i) Any other information the Director decides is necessary for 
demonstrating compliance with this subpart or for determining any 
additional RAP conditions that are necessary to protect human health and 
the environment.



Sec. 270.115  What if I want to keep this information confidential?

    Part 2 (Public Information) of this chapter allows you to claim as 
confidential any or all of the information you submit to EPA under this 
subpart. You must assert any such claim at the time that you submit your 
RAP application or other submissions by stamping the words 
``confidential business information'' on each page containing such 
information. If you do assert a claim at the time you submit the 
information, EPA will treat the information according to the procedures 
in part 2 of this chapter. If you do not assert a claim at the time you 
submit the information, EPA may make the information available to the 
public without further notice to you. EPA will deny any requests for 
confidentiality of your name and/or address.



Sec. 270.120  To whom must I submit my RAP application?

    You must submit your application for a RAP to the Director for 
approval.



Sec. 270.125  If I submit my RAP application as part of another document, what must I do?

    If you submit your application for a RAP as a part of another 
document, you must clearly identify the components of that document that 
constitute your RAP application.

                         Getting a RAP Approved



Sec. 270.130  What is the process for approving or denying my application for a RAP?

    (a) If the Director tentatively finds that your RAP application 
includes all of the information required by Sec. 270.110 and that your 
proposed remediation waste management activities meet the regulatory 
standards, the Director will make a tentative decision to approve

[[Page 373]]

your RAP application. The Director will then prepare a draft RAP and 
provide an opportunity for public comment before making a final decision 
on your RAP application, according to this subpart.
    (b) If the Director tentatively finds that your RAP application does 
not include all of the information required by Sec. 270.110 or that your 
proposed remediation waste management activities do not meet the 
regulatory standards, the Director may request additional information 
from you or ask you to correct deficiencies in your application. If you 
fail or refuse to provide any additional information the Director 
requests, or to correct any deficiencies in your RAP application, the 
Director may make a tentative decision to deny your RAP application. 
After making this tentative decision, the Director will prepare a notice 
of intent to deny your RAP application (``notice of intent to deny'') 
and provide an opportunity for public comment before making a final 
decision on your RAP application, according to the requirements in this 
Subpart. The Director may deny the RAP application either in its 
entirety or in part.



Sec. 270.135  What must the Director include in a draft RAP?

    If the Director prepares a draft RAP, it must include the:
    (a) Information required under Sec. 270.110(a) through (f);
    (b) The following terms and conditions:
    (1) Terms and conditions necessary to ensure that the operating 
requirements specified in your RAP comply with applicable requirements 
of parts 264, 266, and 268 of this chapter (including any recordkeeping 
and reporting requirements). In satisfying this provision, the Director 
may incorporate, expressly or by reference, applicable requirements of 
parts 264, 266, and 268 of this chapter into the RAP or establish site-
specific conditions as required or allowed by parts 264, 266, and 268 of 
this chapter;
    (2) Terms and conditions in Sec. 270.30;
    (3) Terms and conditions for modifying, revoking and reissuing, and 
terminating your RAP, as provided in Sec. 270.170; and
    (4) Any additional terms or conditions that the Director determines 
are necessary to protect human health and the environment, including any 
terms and conditions necessary to respond to spills and leaks during use 
of any units permitted under the RAP; and
    (c) If the draft RAP is part of another document, as described in 
Sec. 270.80(d)(2), the Director must clearly identify the components of 
that document that constitute the draft RAP.



Sec. 270.140  What else must the Director prepare in addition to the draft RAP or notice of intent to deny?

    Once the Director has prepared the draft RAP or notice of intent to 
deny, he must then:
    (a) Prepare a statement of basis that briefly describes the 
derivation of the conditions of the draft RAP and the reasons for them, 
or the rationale for the notice of intent to deny;
    (b) Compile an administrative record, including:
    (1) The RAP application, and any supporting data furnished by the 
applicant;
    (2) The draft RAP or notice of intent to deny;
    (3) The statement of basis and all documents cited therein (material 
readily available at the issuing Regional office or published material 
that is generally available need not be physically included with the 
rest of the record, as long as it is specifically referred to in the 
statement of basis); and
    (4) Any other documents that support the decision to approve or deny 
the RAP; and
    (c) Make information contained in the administrative record 
available for review by the public upon request.



Sec. 270.145  What are the procedures for public comment on the draft RAP or notice of intent to deny?

    (a) The Director must:
    (1) Send notice to you of his intention to approve or deny your RAP 
application, and send you a copy of the statement of basis;
    (2) Publish a notice of his intention to approve or deny your RAP 
application in a major local newspaper of general circulation;

[[Page 374]]

    (3) Broadcast his intention to approve or deny your RAP application 
over a local radio station; and
    (4) Send a notice of his intention to approve or deny your RAP 
application to each unit of local government having jurisdiction over 
the area in which your site is located, and to each State agency having 
any authority under State law with respect to any construction or 
operations at the site.
    (b) The notice required by paragraph (a) of this section must 
provide an opportunity for the public to submit written comments on the 
draft RAP or notice of intent to deny within at least 45 days.
    (c) The notice required by paragraph (a) of this section must 
include:
    (1) The name and address of the office processing the RAP 
application;
    (2) The name and address of the RAP applicant, and if different, the 
remediation waste management site or activity the RAP will regulate;
    (3) A brief description of the activity the RAP will regulate;
    (4) The name, address and telephone number of a person from whom 
interested persons may obtain further information, including copies of 
the draft RAP or notice of intent to deny, statement of basis, and the 
RAP application;
    (5) A brief description of the comment procedures in this section, 
and any other procedures by which the public may participate in the RAP 
decision;
    (6) If a hearing is scheduled, the date, time, location and purpose 
of the hearing;
    (7) If a hearing is not scheduled, a statement of procedures to 
request a hearing;
    (8) The location of the administrative record, and times when it 
will be open for public inspection; and
    (9) Any additional information the Director considers necessary or 
proper.
    (d) If, within the comment period, the Director receives written 
notice of opposition to his intention to approve or deny your RAP 
application and a request for a hearing, the Director must hold an 
informal public hearing to discuss issues relating to the approval or 
denial of your RAP application. The Director may also determine on his 
own initiative that an informal hearing is appropriate. The hearing must 
include an opportunity for any person to present written or oral 
comments. Whenever possible, the Director must schedule this hearing at 
a location convenient to the nearest population center to the 
remediation waste management site and give notice according to the 
requirements in paragraph (a) of this section. This notice must, at a 
minimum, include the information required by paragraph (c) of this 
section and:
    (1) Reference to the date of any previous public notices relating to 
the RAP application;
    (2) The date, time and place of the hearing; and
    (3) A brief description of the nature and purpose of the hearing, 
including the applicable rules and procedures.



Sec. 270.150  How will the Director make a final decision on my RAP application?

    (a) The Director must consider and respond to any significant 
comments raised during the public comment period, or during any hearing 
on the draft RAP or notice of intent to deny, and revise your draft RAP 
based on those comments, as appropriate.
    (b) If the Director determines that your RAP includes the 
information and terms and conditions required in Sec. 270.135, then he 
will issue a final decision approving your RAP and, in writing, notify 
you and all commenters on your draft RAP that your RAP application has 
been approved.
    (c) If the Director determines that your RAP does not include the 
information required in Sec. 270.135, then he will issue a final 
decision denying your RAP and, in writing, notify you and all commenters 
on your draft RAP that your RAP application has been denied.
    (d) If the Director's final decision is that the tentative decision 
to deny the RAP application was incorrect, he will withdraw the notice 
of intent to deny and proceed to prepare a draft RAP, according to the 
requirements in this subpart.
    (e) When the Director issues his final RAP decision, he must refer 
to the procedures for appealing the decision under Sec. 270.155.

[[Page 375]]

    (f) Before issuing the final RAP decision, the Director must compile 
an administrative record. Material readily available at the issuing 
Regional office or published materials which are generally available and 
which are included in the administrative record need not be physically 
included with the rest of the record as long as it is specifically 
referred to in the statement of basis or the response to comments. The 
administrative record for the final RAP must include information in the 
administrative record for the draft RAP (see Sec. 270.140(b)) and:
    (1) All comments received during the public comment period;
    (2) Tapes or transcripts of any hearings;
    (3) Any written materials submitted at these hearings;
    (4) The responses to comments;
    (5) Any new material placed in the record since the draft RAP was 
issued;
    (6) Any other documents supporting the RAP; and (7) A copy of the 
final RAP.
    (g) The Director must make information contained in the 
administrative record available for review by the public upon request.



Sec. 270.155  May the decision to approve or deny my RAP application be administratively appealed?

    (a) Any commenter on the draft RAP or notice of intent to deny, or 
any participant in any public hearing(s) on the draft RAP, may appeal 
the Director's decision to approve or deny your RAP application to EPA's 
Environmental Appeals Board under Sec. 124.19 of this chapter. Any 
person who did not file comments, or did not participate in any public 
hearing(s) on the draft RAP, may petition for administrative review only 
to the extent of the changes from the draft to the final RAP decision. 
Appeals of RAPs may be made to the same extent as for final permit 
decisions under Sec. 124.15 of this chapter (or a decision under 
Sec. 270.29 to deny a permit for the active life of a RCRA hazardous 
waste management facility or unit). Instead of the notice required under 
Secs. 124.19(c) and 124.10 of this chapter, the Director will give 
public notice of any grant of review of RAPs by the Environmental 
Appeals Board through the same means used to provide notice under 
Sec. 270.145. The notice will include:
    (1) The briefing schedule for the appeal as provided by the Board;
    (2) A statement that any interested person may file an amicus brief 
with the Board; and
    (3) The information specified in Sec. 270.145(c), as appropriate.
    (b) This appeal is a prerequisite to seeking judicial review of 
these EPA actions.



Sec. 270.160  When does my RAP become effective?

    Your RAP becomes effective 30 days after the Director notifies you 
and all commenters that your RAP is approved unless:
    (a) The Director specifies a later effective date in his decision;
    (b) You or another person has appealed your RAP under Sec. 270.155 
(if your RAP is appealed, and the request for review is granted under 
Sec. 270.155, conditions of your RAP are stayed according to Sec. 124.16 
of this chapter); or
    (c) No commenters requested a change in the draft RAP, in which case 
the RAP becomes effective immediately when it is issued.



Sec. 270.165  When may I begin physical construction of new units permitted under the RAP?

    You must not begin physical construction of new units permitted 
under the RAP for treating, storing or disposing of hazardous 
remediation waste before receiving a finally effective RAP.

    How May My RAP Be Modified, Revoked and Reissued, or Terminated?



Sec. 270.170  After my RAP is issued, how may it be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated?

    In your RAP, the Director must specify, either directly or by 
reference, procedures for future modifications, revocations and 
reissuance, or terminations of your RAP. These procedures must provide 
adequate opportunities for public review and comment on any 
modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination that would 
significantly change your management

[[Page 376]]

of your remediation waste, or that otherwise merits public review and 
comment. If your RAP has been incorporated into a traditional RCRA 
permit, as allowed under Sec. 270.85(c), then the RAP will be modified 
according to the applicable requirements in Secs. 270.40 through 270.42, 
revoked and reissued according to the applicable requirements in 
Secs. 270.41 and 270.43, or terminated according to the applicable 
requirements of Sec. 270.43.



Sec. 270.175  For what reasons may the Director choose to modify my final RAP?

    (a) The Director may modify your final RAP on his own initiative 
only if one or more of the following reasons listed in this section 
exist(s). If one or more of these reasons do not exist, then the 
Director will not modify your final RAP, except at your request. Reasons 
for modification are:
    (1) You made material and substantial alterations or additions to 
the activity that justify applying different conditions;
    (2) The Director finds new information that was not available at the 
time of RAP issuance and would have justified applying different RAP 
conditions at the time of issuance;
    (3) The standards or regulations on which the RAP was based have 
changed because of new or amended statutes, standards or regulations, or 
by judicial decision after the RAP was issued;
    (4) If your RAP includes any schedules of compliance, the Director 
may find reasons to modify your compliance schedule, such as an act of 
God, strike, flood, or materials shortage or other events over which you 
as the owner/operator have little or no control and for which there is 
no reasonably available remedy;
    (5) You are not in compliance with conditions of your RAP;
    (6) You failed in the application or during the RAP issuance process 
to disclose fully all relevant facts, or you misrepresented any relevant 
facts at the time;
    (7) The Director has determined that the activity authorized by your 
RAP endangers human health or the environment and can only be remedied 
by modifying; or
    (8) You have notified the Director (as required in the RAP under 
Sec. 270.30(l)(3)) of a proposed transfer of a RAP.
    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this section, when the 
Director reviews a RAP for a land disposal facility under Sec. 270.195, 
he may modify the permit as necessary to assure that the facility 
continues to comply with the currently applicable requirements in parts 
124, 260 through 266 and 270 of this chapter.
    (c) The Director will not reevaluate the suitability of the facility 
location at the time of RAP modification unless new information or 
standards indicate that a threat to human health or the environment 
exists that was unknown when the RAP was issued.



Sec. 270.180  For what reasons may the Director choose to revoke and reissue my final RAP?

    (a) The Director may revoke and reissue your final RAP on his own 
initiative only if one or more reasons for revocation and reissuance 
exist(s). If one or more reasons do not exist, then the Director will 
not modify or revoke and reissue your final RAP, except at your request. 
Reasons for modification or revocation and reissuance are the same as 
the reasons listed for RAP modifications in Sec. 270.175(a)(5) through 
(8) if the Director determines that revocation and reissuance of your 
RAP is appropriate.
    (b) The Director will not reevaluate the suitability of the facility 
location at the time of RAP revocation and reissuance, unless new 
information or standards indicate that a threat to human health or the 
environment exists that was unknown when the RAP was issued.



Sec. 270.185  For what reasons may the Director choose to terminate my final RAP, or deny my renewal application?

    The Director may terminate your final RAP on his own initiative, or 
deny your renewal application for the same reasons as those listed for 
RAP modifications in Sec. 270.175(a)(5) through (7) if the Director 
determines that termination of your RAP or denial of your RAP renewal 
application is appropriate.

[[Page 377]]



Sec. 270.190  May the decision to approve or deny a modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination of my RAP be administratively appealed?

    (a) Any commenter on the modification, revocation and reissuance or 
termination, or any person who participated in any hearing(s) on these 
actions, may appeal the Director's decision to approve a modification, 
revocation and reissuance, or termination of your RAP, according to 
Sec. 270.155. Any person who did not file comments or did not 
participate in any public hearing(s) on the modification, revocation and 
reissuance or termination, may petition for administrative review only 
of the changes from the draft to the final RAP decision.
    (b) Any commenter on the modification, revocation and reissuance or 
termination, or any person who participated in any hearing(s) on these 
actions, may informally appeal the Director's decision to deny a request 
for modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination to EPA's 
Environmental Appeals Board. Any person who did not file comments, or 
did not participate in any public hearing(s) on the modification, 
revocation and reissuance or termination may petition for administrative 
review only of the changes from the draft to the final RAP decision.
    (c) The process for informal appeals of RAPs is as follows:
    (1) The person appealing the decision must send a letter to the 
Environmental Appeals Board. The letter must briefly set forth the 
relevant facts.
    (2) The Environmental Appeals Board has 60 days after receiving the 
letter to act on it.
    (3) If the Environmental Appeals Board does not take action on the 
letter within 60 days after receiving it, the appeal shall be considered 
denied.
    (d) This informal appeal is a prerequisite to seeking judicial 
review of these EPA actions.



Sec. 270.195  When will my RAP expire?

    RAPs must be issued for a fixed term, not to exceed 10 years, 
although they may be renewed upon approval by the Director in fixed 
increments of no more than ten years. In addition, the Director must 
review any RAP for hazardous waste land disposal five years after the 
date of issuance or reissuance and you or the Director must follow the 
requirements for modifying your RAP as necessary to assure that you 
continue to comply with currently applicable requirements in RCRA 
sections 3004 and 3005.



Sec. 270.200  How may I renew my RAP if it is expiring?

    If you wish to renew your expiring RAP, you must follow the process 
for application for and issuance of RAPs in this subpart.



Sec. 270.205  What happens if I have applied correctly for a RAP renewal but have not received approval by the time my old RAP expires?

    If you have submitted a timely and complete application for a RAP 
renewal, but the Director, through no fault of yours, has not issued a 
new RAP with an effective date on or before the expiration date of your 
previous RAP, your previous RAP conditions continue in force until the 
effective date of your new RAP or RAP denial.

                        Operating Under Your RAP



Sec. 270.210  What records must I maintain concerning my RAP?

    You are required to keep records of:
    (a) All data used to complete RAP applications and any supplemental 
information that you submit for a period of at least 3 years from the 
date the application is signed; and
    (b) Any operating and/or other records the Director requires you to 
maintain as a condition of your RAP.



Sec. 270.215  How are time periods in the requirements in this subpart and my RAP computed?

    (a) Any time period scheduled to begin on the occurrence of an act 
or event must begin on the day after the act or event. (For example, if 
your RAP specifies that you must close a staging pile within 180 days 
after the operating term for that staging pile expires, and the 
operating term expires on June 1, then June 2 counts as day one of your 
180 days, and you would have to complete closure by November 28.)

[[Page 378]]

    (b) Any time period scheduled to begin before the occurrence of an 
act or event must be computed so that the period ends on the day before 
the act or event. (For example, if you are transferring ownership or 
operational control of your site, and wish to transfer your RAP, the new 
owner or operator must submit a revised RAP application no later than 90 
days before the scheduled change. Therefore, if you plan to change 
ownership on January 1, the new owner/operator must submit the revised 
RAP application no later than October 3, so that the 90th day would be 
December 31.)
    (c) If the final day of any time period falls on a weekend or legal 
holiday, the time period must be extended to the next working day. (For 
example, if you wish to appeal the Director's decision to modify your 
RAP, then you must petition the Environmental Appeals Board within 30 
days after the Director has issued the final RAP decision. If the 30th 
day falls on Sunday, then you may submit your appeal by the Monday 
after. If the 30th day falls on July 4th, then you may submit your 
appeal by July 5th.)
    (d) Whenever a party or interested person has the right to or is 
required to act within a prescribed period after the service of notice 
or other paper upon him by mail, 3 days must be added to the prescribed 
term. (For example, if you wish to appeal the Director's decision to 
modify your RAP, then you must petition the Environmental Appeals Board 
within 30 days after the Director has issued the final RAP decision. 
However, if the Director notifies you of his decision by mail, then you 
may have 33 days to petition the Environmental Appeals Board.)



Sec. 270.220  How may I transfer my RAP to a new owner or operator?

    (a) If you wish to transfer your RAP to a new owner or operator, you 
must follow the requirements specified in your RAP for RAP modification 
to identify the new owner or operator, and incorporate any other 
necessary requirements. These modifications do not constitute 
``significant'' modifications for purposes of Sec. 270.170. The new 
owner/operator must submit a revised RAP application no later than 90 
days before the scheduled change along with a written agreement 
containing a specific date for transfer of RAP responsibility between 
you and the new permittees.
    (b) When a transfer of ownership or operational control occurs, you 
as the old owner or operator must comply with the applicable 
requirements in part 264, subpart H (Financial Requirements), of this 
chapter until the new owner or operator has demonstrated that he is 
complying with the requirements in that subpart. The new owner or 
operator must demonstrate compliance with part 264, subpart H, of this 
chapter within six months of the date of the change in ownership or 
operational control of the facility or remediation waste management 
site. When the new owner/operator demonstrates compliance with part 264, 
subpart H, of this chapter to the Director, the Director will notify you 
that you no longer need to comply with part 264, subpart H, of this 
chapter as of the date of demonstration.



Sec. 270.225  What must the State or EPA Region report about noncompliance with RAPs?

    The State or EPA Region must report noncompliance with RAPs 
according to the provisions of Sec. 270.5.

                Obtaining a RAP for an Off-Site Location



Sec. 270.230  May I perform remediation waste management activities under a RAP at a location removed from the area where the remediation wastes originated?

    (a) You may request a RAP for remediation waste management 
activities at a location removed from the area where the remediation 
wastes originated if you believe such a location would be more 
protective than the contaminated area or areas in close proximity.
    (b) If the Director determines that an alternative location, removed 
from the area where the remediation waste originated, is more protective 
than managing remediation waste at the area of contamination or areas in 
close proximity, then the Director may approve a RAP for this 
alternative location.

[[Page 379]]

    (c) You must request the RAP, and the Director will approve or deny 
the RAP, according to the procedures and requirements in this subpart.
    (d) A RAP for an alternative location must also meet the following 
requirements, which the Director must include in the RAP for such 
locations:
    (1) The RAP for the alternative location must be issued to the 
person responsible for the cleanup from which the remediation wastes 
originated;
    (2) The RAP is subject to the expanded public participation 
requirements in Secs. 124.31, 124.32, and 124.33 of this chapter;
    (3) The RAP is subject to the public notice requirements in 
Sec. 124.10(c) of this chapter;
    (4) The site permitted in the RAP may not be located within 61 
meters or 200 feet of a fault which has had displacement in the Holocene 
time (you must demonstrate compliance with this standard through the 
requirements in Sec. 270.14(b)(11)) (See definitions of terms in 
Sec. 264.18(a) of this chapter);

    Note to paragraph (d)(4): Sites located in political jurisdictions 
other than those listed in Appendix VI of part 264 of this chapter, are 
assumed to be in compliance with this requirement.

    (e) These alternative locations are remediation waste management 
sites, and retain the following benefits of remediation waste management 
sites:
    (1) Exclusion from facility-wide corrective action under 
Sec. 264.101 of this chapter; and
    (2) Application of Sec. 264.1(j) of this chapter in lieu of part 
264, subparts B, C, and D, of this chapter.

             Subpart A--Requirements for Final Authorization



Sec. 271.1  Purpose and scope.

    (a) This subpart specifies the procedures EPA will follow in 
approving, revising, and withdrawing approval of State programs and the 
requirements State programs must meet to be approved by the 
Administrator under sections 3006(b), (f) and (h) of RCRA.
    (b) State submissions for program approval must be made in 
accordance with the procedures set out in this subpart.
    (c) The substantive provisions which must be included in State 
programs for them to be approved include requirements for permitting, 
compliance evaluation, enforcement, public participation, and sharing of 
information. Many of the requirements for State programs are made 
applicable to States by cross-referencing other EPA regulations. In 
particular, many of the provisions of

[[Page 380]]

parts 270 and 124 are made applicable to States by the references 
contained in Sec. 271.14.
    (d) Upon receipt of a complete submission, EPA will conduct a public 
hearing, if interest is shown, and determine whether to approve or 
disapprove the program taking into consideration the requirements of 
this subpart, the Act and any comments received.
    (e) The Administrator shall approve State programs which conform to 
the applicable requirements of this subpart.
    (f) Except as provided in Sec. 271.3(a)(3), upon approval of a State 
permitting program, the Administrator shall suspend the issuance of 
Federal permits for those activities subject to the approved State 
program.
    (g) Any State program approved by the Administrator shall at all 
times be conducted in accordance with the requirements of this subpart.
    (h) Partial State programs are not allowed for programs operating 
under RCRA final authorization. However, in many cases States will lack 
authority to regulate activities on Indian lands. This lack of authority 
does not impair a State's ability to obtain full program approval in 
accordance with this subpart, i.e., inability of a State to regulate 
activities on Indian lands does not constitute a partial program. EPA 
will administer the program on Indian lands if the State does not seek 
this authority.
    Note: States are advised to contact the United States Department of 
the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, concerning authority over Indian 
lands.
    (i) Except as provided in Sec. 271.4, nothing in this subpart 
precludes a State from:
    (1) Adopting or enforcing requirements which are more stringent or 
more extensive than those required under this subpart;
    (2) Operating a program with a greater scope of coverage than that 
required under this subpart. Where an approved State program has a 
greater scope of coverage than required by Federal law, the additional 
coverage is not part of the Federally approved program.
    (j) Requirements and prohibitions which are applicable to the 
generation, transportation, treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous 
waste and which are imposed pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid Waste 
Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) include any requirement or prohibition which 
has taken effect under HSWA, such as:
    (1) All regulations specified in Table 1, and
    (2) The self-implementing statutory provisions specified in Table 2 
that have taken effect.
      
    Note: See Secs. 264.1(f)(3), 265.1(c)(4)(ii), 271.3(b), 271.21(e)(2) 
and 271.121(c)(3) for applicability.

    Editorial Note: For Federal Register citations affecting Sec. 271.1, 
see the List of CFR Sections Affected in the Finding Aids section of 
this volume.



Sec. 271.2  Definitions.

    The definitions in part 270 apply to all subparts of this part.



Sec. 271.3  Availability of final authorization.

    (a) Where a State program meets the requirements of section 3006 of 
RCRA and this subpart it may receive authorization for any provision of 
its program corresponding to a Federal provision in effect on the date 
of the State's authorization.
    (b) States approved under this subpart are authorized to administer 
and enforce their hazardous waste program in lieu of the Federal 
program, except as provided below:
    (1) Any requirement or prohibition which is applicable to the 
generation, transportation, treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous 
waste and which is imposed pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid Waste 
Amendments of 1984 takes effect in each State having a finally 
authorized State program on the same date as such requirement takes 
effect in other States. These requirements and prohibitions are 
identified in Sec. 271.1(j).
    (2) The requirements and prohibitions in Sec. 271.1(j) supersede any 
less stringent provision of a State program. The Administrator is 
authorized to carry out each such Federal requirement and prohibition in 
an authorized State except where, pursuant to section 3006(b) or 
3006(g)(2) of RCRA, the State has received final or interim 
authorization to carry out the particular requirement or prohibition. 
Violations of Federal requirements and prohibitions effective in 
authorized States are enforceable under sections 3008, 3013 and 7003 of 
RCRA.
    (3) Until an authorized State program is revised to reflect the 
amendments made by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 and 
such program revisions receive final or interim authorization pursuant 
to section 3006(b) or 3006(g)(2) of RCRA, the Administrator shall have 
the authority in such State to issue or deny permits or those portions 
of permits affected by the requirements and prohibitions established by 
the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984.

[[Page 385]]

    (c) Official State applications for final authorization may be 
reviewed on the basis of Federal self-implementing statutory provisions 
that were in effect 12 months prior to the State's submission of its 
official application (if no implementing regulations have previously 
been promulgated) and the regulations in 40 CFR parts 124, 260-266, 268, 
270 and 271 that were in effect 12 months prior to the State's 
submission of its official application. To meet this requirement the 
State may demonstrate that its program qualifies for final authorization 
pursuant to this subpart or interim authorization under Sec. 271.24. 
States are not precluded from seeking authorization for requirements 
taking effect less than 12 months prior to the State's submittal of its 
final application.

FR 33721, Sept. 22, 1986; 60 FR 33914, June 29, 1995]



Sec. 271.4  Consistency.

    To obtain approval, a State program must be consistent with the 
Federal program and State programs applicable in other States and in 
particular must comply with the provisions below. For purposes of this 
section the phrase ``State programs applicable in other States'' refers 
only to those State hazardous waste programs which have received final 
authorization under this part.
    (a) Any aspect of the State program which unreasonably restricts, 
impedes, or operates as a ban on the free movement across the State 
border of hazardous wastes from or to other States for treatment, 
storage, or disposal at facilities authorized to operate under the 
Federal or an approved State program shall be deemed inconsistent.
    (b) Any aspect of State law or of the State program which has no 
basis in human health or environmental protection and which acts as a 
prohibition on the treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste in 
the State may be deemed inconsistent.
    (c) If the State manifest system does not meet the requirements of 
this part, the State program shall be deemed inconsistent.

[48 FR 14248, Apr. 1, 1983; 48 FR 30114, June 30, 1983]



Sec. 271.5  Elements of a program submission.

    (a) Any State that seeks to administer a program under this part 
shall submit to the Administrator at least three copies of a program 
submission. The submission shall contain the following:
    (1) A letter from the Governor of the State requesting program 
approval;
    (2) A complete program description, as required by Sec. 271.6 
describing how the State intends to carry out its responsibilities under 
this subpart;
    (3) An Attorney General's statement as required by Sec. 271.7;
    (4) A Memorandum of Agreement with the Regional Administrator as 
required by Sec. 271.8;
    (5) Copies of all applicable State statutes and regulations, 
including those governing State administrative procedures; and
    (6) The showing required by Sec. 271.20(c) of the State's public 
participation activities prior to program submission.
    (b) Within 30 days of receipt by EPA of a State program submission, 
EPA will notify the State whether its submission is complete. If EPA 
finds that a State's submission is complete, the statutory review period 
(i.e., the period of time allotted for formal EPA review of a proposed 
State program under section 3006(b) of the Act) shall be deemed to have 
begun on the date of receipt of the State's submission. If EPA finds 
that a State's submission is incomplete, the review period shall not 
begin until all necessary information is received by EPA.
    (c) If the State's submission is materially changed during the 
review period, the review period shall begin again upon receipt of the 
revised submission.
    (d) The State and EPA may extend the review period by agreement.


[[Page 386]]





Sec. 271.6  Program description.

    Any State that seeks to administer a program under this subpart 
shall submit a description of the program it proposes to administer in 
lieu of the Federal program under State law or under an interstate 
compact. The program description shall include:
    (a) A description in narrative form of the scope, structure, 
coverage and processes of the State program.
    (b) A description (including organization charts) of the 
organization and structure of the State agency or agencies which will 
have responsibility for administering the program, including the 
information listed below. If more than one agency is responsible for 
administration of a program, each agency must have statewide 
jurisdiction over a class of activities. The responsibilities of each 
agency must be delineated, their procedures for coordination set forth, 
and an agency must be designated as a ``lead agency'' to facilitate 
communications between EPA and the State agencies having program 
responsibilities. When the State proposes to administer a program of 
greater scope of coverage than is required by Federal law, the 
information provided under this paragraph shall indicate the resources 
dedicated to administering the Federally required portion of the 
program.
    (1) A description of the State agency staff who will carry out the 
State program, including the number, occupations, and general duties of 
the employees. The State need not submit complete job descriptions for 
every employee carrying out the State program.
    (2) An itemization of the estimated costs of establishing and 
administering the program, including cost of the personnel listed in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section, cost of administrative support, and 
cost of technical support. This estimate must cover the first two years 
after program approval.
    (3) An itemization of the sources and amounts of funding, including 
an estimate of Federal grant money, available to the State Director to 
meet the costs listed in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, identifying 
any restrictions or limitations upon this funding. This estimate must 
cover the first two years after program approval.
    (c) A description of applicable State procedures, including 
permitting procedures and any State administrative or judicial review 
procedures.
    (d) Copies of the permit form(s), application form(s), and reporting 
form(s) the State intends to employ in its program. Forms used by the 
State for hazardous waste management need not be identical to the forms 
used by EPA but should require the same basic information, except that 
the State RCRA program must require the use of EPA Manifest Forms 8700-
22 and 8700-22A. Where the State preprints information on the Manifest 
forms, such forms must be submitted with the State's application for 
approval. Restrictions on preprinting by the States are identified in 40 
CFR 271.10(h). Otherwise, the State need not provide copies of uniform 
national forms it intends to use but should note its intention to use 
such forms.
    (e) A complete description of the State's compliance tracking and 
enforcement program.
    (f) A description of the State manifest tracking system, and of the 
procedures the State will use to coordinate information with other 
approved State programs and the Federal program regarding interstate and 
international shipments.
    (g) An estimate of the number of the following:
    (1) Generators;
    (2) Transporters; and
    (3) On- and off-site storage, treatment and disposal facilities, and 
a brief description of the types of facilities and an indication of the 
permit status of these facilities.
    (h) If available, an estimate of the annual quantities of hazardous 
wastes generated within the State; transported into and out of the 
State; and stored, treated, or disposed of within the State: On-site; 
and Off-site.

Sec. 271.7  Attorney General's statement.

    (a) Any State that seeks to administer a program under this subpart 
shall submit a statement from the State Attorney General (or the 
attorney for those State agencies which have independent legal counsel) 
that

[[Page 387]]

the laws of the State provide adequate authority to carry out the 
program described under Sec. 271.6 and to meet the requirements of this 
subpart. This statement shall include citations to the specific 
statutes, administrative regulations and, where appropriate, judicial 
decisions which demonstrate adequate authority. State statutes and 
regulations cited by the State Attorney General or independent legal 
counsel shall be in the form of lawfully adopted State statues and 
regulations at the time the statement is signed and shall be fully 
effective by the time the program is approved. To qualify as 
``independent legal counsel'' the attorney signing the statement 
required by this section must have full authority to independently 
represent the State agency in court on all matters pertaining to the 
State program.
    Note: EPA will supply States with an Attorney General's statement 
format on request.
    (b) When a State seeks authority over activities on Indian lands, 
the statement shall contain an appropriate analysis of the State's 
authority.



Sec. 271.8  Memorandum of Agreement with the Regional Administrator.

    (a) Any State that seeks to administer a program under this subpart 
shall submit a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The Memorandum of 
Agreement shall be executed by the State Director and the Regional 
Administrator and shall become effective when approved by the 
Administrator. In addition to meeting the requirements of paragraph (b) 
of this section, the Memorandum of Agreement may include other terms, 
conditions, or agreements consistent with this subpart and relevant to 
the administration and enforcement of the State's regulatory program. 
The Administrator shall not approve any Memorandum of Agreement which 
contains provisions which restrict EPA's statutory oversight 
responsibility.
    (b) All Memoranda of Agreement shall include the following:
    (1) Provisions for the Regional Administrator to promptly forward to 
the State Director information obtained prior to program approval in 
notifications provided under section 3010(a) of RCRA. The Regional 
Administrator and the State Director shall agree on procedures for the 
assignment of EPA identification numbers for new generators, 
transporters, treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.
    (2) Provisions specifying the frequency and content of reports, 
documents and other information which the State is required to submit to 
EPA. The State shall allow EPA to routinely review State records, 
reports, and files relevant to the administration and enforcement of the 
approved program. State reports may be combined with grant reports where 
appropriate.
    (3) Provisions on the State's compliance monitoring and enforcement 
program, including:
    (i) Provisions for coordination of compliance monitoring activities 
by the State and by EPA. These may specify the basis on which the 
Regional Administrator will select facilities or activities within the 
State for EPA inspection. The Regional Administrator will normally 
notify the State at least 7 days before any such inspection; and
    (ii) Procedures to assure coordination of enforcement activities.
    (4) Provisions allowing EPA to conduct compliance inspections of all 
generators, transporters, and HWM facilities in each year for which the 
State is operating under final authorization. The Regional Administrator 
and the State Director may agree to limitations on compliance 
inspections of generators, transporters, and non-major HWM facilities.
    (5) No limitations on EPA compliance inspections of generators, 
transporters, or non-major HWM facilities under paragraph (b)(4) of this 
section shall restrict EPA's right to inspect any generator, 
transporter, or HWM facility which it has cause to believe is not in 
compliance with RCRA; however, before conducting such an inspection, EPA 
will normally allow the State a reasonable opportunity to conduct a 
compliance evaluation inspection.
    (6) Provisions for the prompt transfer from EPA to the State of 
pending permit applications and any other information relevant to 
program operation not already in the possession of the State Director 
(e.g., support files for

[[Page 388]]

permit issuance, compliance reports, etc.). When existing permits are 
transferred from EPA to the State for administration, the Memorandum of 
Agreement shall contain provisions specifying a procedure for 
transferring the administration of these permits. If a State lacks the 
authority to directly administer permits issued by the Federal 
government, a procedure may be established to transfer responsibility 
for these permits.
    Note: For example, EPA and the State and the permittee could agree 
that the State would issue a permit(s) identical to the outstanding 
Federal permit which would simultaneously be terminated.
    (7) Provisions specifying classes and categories of permit 
applications, draft permits, and proposed permits that the State will 
send to the Regional Administrator for review, comment and, where 
applicable, objection.
    (8) When appropriate, provisions for joint processing of permits by 
the State and EPA, for facilities or activities which require permits 
from both EPA and the State under different programs. See Sec. 124.4
    Note: To promote efficiency and to avoid duplication and 
inconsistency, States are encouraged to enter into joint processing 
agreements with EPA for permit issuance.
    (9) Provisions for the State Director to promptly forward to EPA 
copies of draft permits and permit applications for all major HWM 
facilities for review and comment. The Regional Administrator and the 
State Director may agree to limitations regarding review of and comment 
on draft permits and/or permit applications for non-major HWM 
facilities. The State Director shall supply EPA copies of final permits 
for all major HWM facilities.
    (10) Provisions for the State Director to review all permits issued 
under State law prior to the date of program approval and modify or 
revoke and reissue them to require compliance with the requirements of 
this subpart. The Regional Administrator and the State Director shall 
establish a time within which this review must take place.
    (11) Provisions for modification of the Memorandum of Agreement in 
accordance with this subpart.
    (c) The Memorandum of Agreement, the annual program grant and the 
State/EPA Agreement should be consistent. If the State/EPA Agreement 
indicates that a change is needed in the Memorandum of Agreement, the 
Memorandum of Agreement may be amended through the procedures set forth 
in this subpart. The State/EPA Agreement may not override the Memorandum 
of Agreement.
    Note: Detailed program priorities and specific arrangements for EPA 
support of the State program will change and are therefore more 
appropriately negotiated in the context of annual agreements rather than 
in the MOA. However, it may still be appropriate to specify in the MOA 
the basis for such detailed agreements, e.g., a provision in the MOA 
specifying that EPA will select facilities in the State for inspection 
annually as part of the State/EPA agreement.



Sec. 271.9  Requirements for identification and listing of hazardous wastes.

    (a) The State program must control all the hazardous wastes 
controlled under 40 CFR part 261 and must adopt a list of hazardous 
wastes and set of characteristics for identifying hazardous wastes 
equivalent to those under 40 CFR part 261.
    (b) The State is not required to have a delisting mechanism. A State 
may receive authorization for delisting if the State regulations for 
delisting decisions are equivalent to Sec. 260.20(b) and Sec. 260.22, 
and the State provides public notice and opportunity for comment before 
granting or denying delisting requests.

[51 FR 33721, Sept. 22, 1986]



Sec. 271.10  Requirements for generators of hazardous wastes.

    (a) The State program must cover all generators covered by 40 CFR 
part 262. States must require new generators to contact the State and 
obtain an EPA identification number before they perform any activity 
subject to regulation under the approved State hazardous waste program.
    (b) The State shall have authority to require and shall require all 
generators to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements 
equivalent to those under 40 CFR 262.40 and 262.41. States must require 
that generators keep these records at least 3 years.
    (c) The State program must require that generators who accumulate 
hazardous wastes for short periods of time

[[Page 389]]

comply with requirements that are equivalent to the requirements for 
accumulating hazardous wastes for short periods of time under 40 CFR 
262.34.
    (d) The State program must require that generators comply with 
requirements that are equivalent to the requirements for the packaging, 
labeling, marking, and placarding of hazardous waste under 40 CFR 262.30 
to 262.33, and are consistent with relevant DOT regulations under 49 CFR 
parts 172, 173, 178 and 179.
    (e) The State program shall provide requirements respecting 
international shipments which are equivalent to those at 40 CFR part 262 
subparts E and F, except that:
    (1) Advance notification, annual reports and exception reports in 
accordance with 40 CFR 262.53, 262.55 and 262.56 shall be filed with the 
Administrator; States may require that copies of the documents 
referenced also be filed with the State Director; and
    (2) The Administrator will notify foreign countries of intended 
exports in conjunction with the Department of State and primary 
exporters of foreign countries' responses in accordance with 40 CFR 
262.53.
    Note: Such notices shall be mailed to the Office of Waste Programs 
Enforcement, RCRA Enforcement Division (OS-520), Environmental 
Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460.
    (f) The State must require that all generators of hazardous waste 
who transport (or offer for transport) such hazardous waste off-site:
    (1) Use a manifest system that ensures that interstate and 
intrastate shipments of hazardous waste are designated for delivery, 
and, in the case of intrastate shipments, are delivered to facilities 
that are authorized to operate under an approved State program or the 
federal program. The manifest system must include the use of manifest 
form as required by Sec. 262.20(a) and Sec. 262.21. No other manifest 
form, shipping document, or information, other than that required by 
federal law, may be required by the State to travel with the shipment.
    (2) Initiate the manifest and designate on the manifest the storage, 
treatment, or disposal facility to which the waste is to be shipped.
    (3) Ensure that all wastes offered for transportation are 
accompanied by the manifest, except in the case of shipments by rail or 
water specified in 40 CFR 262.23 (c) and (d) and Sec. 262.20 (e) and 
(f). The State program shall provide requirements for shipments by rail 
or water equivalent to those under 40 CFR 262.23 (c) and (d) and 
Sec. 263.20 (e) and (f).
    (4) Investigate instances where manifests have not been returned by 
the owner or operator of the designated facility and report such 
instances to the State in which the shipment originated.
    (g) In the case of interstate shipments for which the manifest has 
not been returned, the State program must provide for notification to 
the State in which the facility designated on the manifest is located 
and to the State in which the shipment may have been delivered (or to 
EPA in the case of unauthorized States).
    (h) The State must follow the Federal manifest format (40 CFR 
262.21) and may supplement the format to a limited extent subject to the 
consistency requirements of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act 
(49 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).
    (1) A State that supplies the manifest form required by 
Sec. 262.20(a) may preprint information on the form only as follows:
    (i) In Items A and L, a State manifest document number; (EPA Form 
8700-22, items A; EPA Form 8700-22A, item L);
    (ii) In Items 11 and 28, a hazardous materials (HM) column for use 
in distinguishing between federally regulated wastes and other materials 
according to 49 CFR 172.201(a)(1);
    (iii) Anywhere on the form, light organizational marks to indicate 
proper placement of characters or to facilitate data entry;
    (iv) Anywhere in the margin of the form or on the back of the form, 
any information or instructions that do not require generators, 
transporters, or owners or operators of hazardous waste management 
facilities to supply additional information;
    (v) In Item 16, reference to State laws or regulations following the 
federal certification; and

[[Page 390]]

    (vi) Abbreviations for headings in State optional information spaces 
(EPA Form 8700-22, Items A-H; and EPA Form 8700-22A, Items L-Q).
    (2) In addition to the federally required information, both the 
State in which the generator is located and the State in which the 
designated facility is located may require completion of the following 
items:
    (i) State manifest document number (EPA Form 8700-22, Item A; EPA 
Form 8700-22A Item L);
    (ii) For generators, State generator identification numbers (EPA 
Form 8700-22, Item B; EPA Form 8700-22A, Item M);
    (iii) For transporters, telephone numbers and State transporter 
identification numbers (EPA Form 8700-22, Items C, D, E and F; EPA Form 
8700-22A, Items N, O, P and Q);
    (iv) For owners and operators of hazardous waste management 
facilities, facility telephone number, and State facility identification 
numbers (EPA Form 8700-22, Items G and H);
    (v) Codes associated with particular wastes (EPA Form 8700-22, Item 
I; EPA Form 8700-22A, Item R);
    (vi) Codes associated with particular waste treatment, storage, or 
disposal methods (EPA Form 8700-22, Item K; EPA Form 8700-22A, Item T); 
and
    (vii) Additional waste description associated with particular 
hazardous wastes listed on the Manifest. This information is limited to 
information such as chemical names, constituent percentages, and 
physical state (EPA Form 8700-22, Item J; EPA Form 8700-22A, Item S).
    (3) No State, however, may impose enforcement sanctions on a 
transporter during transportation of the shipment for failure of the 
form to include preprinted information or optional State information 
items.
    (i) Unless otherwise provided in part 271, the State program shall 
have standards for generators which are at least as stringent as any 
amendment to 40 CFR Part 262 which is promulgated after July 1, 1984.

8, 1986; 51 FR 33722, Sept. 22, 1986; 56 FR 43705, Sept. 4, 1991]



Sec. 271.11  Requirements for transporters of hazardous wastes.

    (a) The State program must cover all transporters covered by 40 CFR 
part 263. New transporters must be required to contact the State and 
obtain an EPA identification number from the State before they accept 
hazardous waste for transport.
    (b) The State shall have the authority to require and shall require 
all transporters to comply with recordkeeping requirements equivalent to 
those found at 40 CFR 263.22. States must require that records be kept 
at least 3 years.
    (c) The State must require the transporter to carry the manifest 
during transport, except in the case of shipments by rail or water 
specified in 40 CFR 263.20 (e) and (f) and to deliver waste only to the 
facility designated on the manifest. The State program shall provide 
requirements for shipments by rail or water equivalent to those under 40 
CFR 263.20 (e) and (f). For exports of hazardous waste, the State must 
require the transporter to refuse to accept hazardous waste for export 
if he knows the shipment does not conform to the EPA Acknowledgment of 
Consent, to carry an EPA Acknowledgment of Consent to the shipment, and 
to provide a copy of the manifest to the U.S. Customs official at the 
point the waste leaves the United States.
    (d) For hazardous wastes that are discharged in transit, the State 
program must require that transporters notify appropriate State, local, 
and Federal agencies of such discharges, and clean up such wastes, or 
take action so that such wastes do not present a hazard to human health 
or the environment. These requirements shall be equivalent to those 
found at 40 CFR 263.30 and 263.31.
    (e) Unless otherwise provided in part 271, the State program shall 
have standards for transporters which are at least as stringent as any 
amendment to 40 CFR Part 263 which is promulgated after July 1, 1984.

FR 33722, Sept. 22, 1986]


[[Page 391]]





Sec. 271.12  Requirements for hazardous waste management facilities.

    The State shall have standards for hazardous waste management 
facilities which are equivalent to 40 CFR parts 264 and 266. These 
standards shall include:
    (a) Technical standards for tanks, containers, waste piles, 
incineration, chemical, physical and biological treatment facilities, 
surface impoundments, landfills, and land treatment facilities;
    (b) Financial responsibility during facility operation;
    (c) Preparedness for and prevention of discharges or releases of 
hazardous waste; contingency plans and emergency procedures to be 
followed in the event of a discharge or release of hazardous waste;
    (d) Closure and post-closure requirements including financial 
requirements to ensure that money will be available for closure and 
post-closure monitoring and maintenance;
    (e) Groundwater monitoring;
    (f) Security to prevent unauthorized access to the facility;
    (g) Facility personnel training;
    (h) Inspections, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting;
    (i) Compliance with the manifest system, including the requirements 
that facility owners or operators return a signed copy of the manifest 
to the generator to certify delivery of the hazardous waste shipment;
    (j) Other requirements to the extent that they are included in 40 
CFR parts 264 and 266.



Sec. 271.13  Requirements with respect to permits and permit applications.

    (a) State law must require permits for owners and operators of all 
hazardous waste management facilities required to obtain a permit under 
40 CFR part 270 and prohibit the operation of any hazardous waste 
management facility without such a permit, except that States may, if 
adequate legal authority exists, authorize owners and operators of any 
facility which would qualify for interim status under the Federal 
program to remain in operation until a final decision is made on the 
permit application, or until interim status terminates pursuant to 40 
CFR 270.73 (b) through (f). When State law authorizes such continued 
operation it shall require compliance by owners and operators of such 
facilities with standards at least as stringent as EPA's interim status 
standards at 40 CFR part 265.
    (b) The State must require all new HWM facilities to contact the 
State and obtain an EPA identification number before commencing 
treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste.
    (c) All permits issued by the State shall require compliance with 
the standards adopted by the State under Sec. 271.12.
    (d) All permits issued under State law prior to the date of approval 
of final authorization shall be reviewed by the State Director and 
modified or revoked and reissued to require compliance with the 
requirements of this part.

[48 FR 14248, Apr. 1, 1983, as amended at 51 FR 33722, Sept. 22, 1986]



Sec. 271.14  Requirements for permitting.

    All State programs under this subpart must have legal authority to 
implement each of the following provisions and must be administered in 
conformance with each; except that States are not precluded from 
omitting or modifying any provisions to impose more stringent 
requirements:
    (a) Section 270.1(c)(1)--(Specific inclusions);
    (b) Section 270.4--(Effect of permit);
    (c) Section 270.5--(Noncompliance reporting);
    (d) Section 270.10--(Application for a permit);
    (e) Section 270.11--(Signatories);
    (f) Section 270.12--(Confidential information);
    (g) Section 270.13--(Contents of part A);
    (h) Sections 270.14 through 270.29--(Contents of part B);
    Note: States need not use a two part permit application process. The 
State application process must, however, require information in 
sufficient detail to satisfy the requirements of Secs. 270.13 through 
270.29.
    (i) Section 270.30--(Applicable permit conditions);
    (j) Section 270.31--(Monitoring requirements);

[[Page 392]]

    (k) Section 270.32--(Establishing permit conditions);
    (l) Section 270.33--(Schedule of compliance);
    (m) Section 270.40--(Permit transfer);
    (n) Section 270.41--(Permit modification);
    (o) Section 270.43--(Permit termination);
    (p) Section 270.50--(Duration);
    (q) Section 270.60--(Permit by rule);
    (r) Section 270.61--(Emergency permits);
    (s) Section 270.64--(Interim permits for UIC wells);
    (t) Section 124.3(a)--(Application for a permit);
    (u) Section 124.5 (a), (c), (d)--(Modification of permits);
    (v) Section 124.6 (a), (d), and (e)--(Draft permit);
    (w) Section 124.8--(Fact sheets);
    (x) Section 124.10 (a)(1)(ii), (a)(1)(iii), (a)(1)(v), (b), (c),

    (z) Section 124.12(a)--(Public hearings); and
    (aa) Section 124.17 (a) and (c)--(Response to comments).
    Note: States need not implement provisions identical to the above 
listed provisions. Implemented provisions must, however, establish 
requirements at least as stringent as the corresponding listed 
provisions. While States may impose more stringent requirements, they 
may not make one requirement more lenient as a tradeoff for making 
another requirement more stringent; for example, by requiring that 
public hearings be held prior to issuing any permit while reducing the 
amount of advance notice of such a hearing.

[48 FR 14248, Apr. 1, 1983; 48 FR 30115, June 30, 1983]



Sec. 271.15  Requirements for compliance evaluation programs.

    (a) State programs shall have procedures for receipt, evaluation, 
retention and investigation for possible enforcement of all notices and 
reports required of permittees and other regulated persons (and for 
investigation for possible enforcement of failure to submit these 
notices and reports).
    (b) State programs shall have inspection and surveillance procedures 
to determine, independent of information supplied by regulated persons, 
compliance or noncompliance with applicable program requirements. The 
State shall maintain:
    (1) A program which is capable of making comprehensive surveys of 
all facilities and activities subject to the State Director's authority 
to identify persons subject to regulation who have failed to comply with 
permit application or other program requirements. Any compilation, 
index, or inventory of such facilities and activities shall be made 
available to the Regional Administrator upon request;
    (2) A program for periodic inspections of the facilities and 
activities subject to regulation. These inspections shall be conducted 
in a manner designed to:
    (i) Determine compliance or noncompliance with issued permit 
conditions and other program requirements;
    (ii) Verify the accuracy of information submitted by permittees and 
other regulated persons in reporting forms and other forms supplying 
monitoring data; and
    (iii) Verify the adequacy of sampling, monitoring, and other methods 
used by permittees and other regulated persons to develop that 
information;
    (3) A program for investigating information obtained regarding 
violations of applicable program and permit requirements; and
    (4) Procedures for receiving and ensuring proper consideration of 
information submitted by the public about violations. Public effort in 
reporting violations shall be encouraged, and the State Director shall 
make available information on reporting procedures.
    (c) The State Director and State officers engaged in compliance 
evaluation shall have authority to enter any site or premises subject to 
regulation or in which records relevant to program operation are kept in 
order to copy any records, inspect, monitor or otherwise investigate 
compliance with the State program including compliance with permit 
conditions and other program requirements. States whose law requires a 
search warrant before entry conform with this requirement.
    (d) Investigatory inspections shall be conducted, samples shall be 
taken and other information shall be gathered in a manner (e.g., using 
proper ``chain of custody'' procedures) that will produce

[[Page 393]]

evidence admissible in an enforcement proceeding or in court.



Sec. 271.16  Requirements for enforcement authority.

    (a) Any State agency administering a program shall have available 
the following remedies for violations of State program requirements:
    (1) To restrain immediately and effectively any person by order or 
by suit in State court from engaging in any unauthorized activity which 
is endangering or causing damage to public health or the environment.
    Note: This paragraph requires that States have a mechanism (e.g., an 
administrative cease and desist order or the ability to seek a temporary 
restraining order) to stop any unauthorized activity endangering public 
health or the environment.
    (2) To sue in courts of competent jurisdiction to enjoin any 
threatened or continuing violation of any program requirement, including 
permit conditions, without the necessity of a prior revocation of the 
permit;
    (3) To access or sue to recover in court civil penalties and to seek 
criminal remedies, including fines, as follows:
    (i) Civil penalties shall be recoverable for any program violation 
in at least the amount of $10,000 per day.
    (ii) Criminal remedies shall be obtainable against any person who 
knowingly transports any hazardous waste to an unpermitted facility; who 
treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste without a permit; who 
knowingly transports, treats, stores, disposes, recycles, causes to be 
transported, or otherwise handles any used oil regulated by EPA under 
section 3014 of RCRA that is not listed or identified as a hazardous 
waste under the state's hazardous waste program in violation of 
standards or regulations for management of such used oil; or who makes 
any false statement, or representation in any application, label, 
manifest, record, report, permit or other document filed, maintained, or 
used for purposes of program compliance (including compliance with any 
standards or regulations for used oil regulated by EPA under section 
3014 of RCRA that is not listed or identified as hazardous waste). 
Criminal fines shall be recoverable in at least the amount of $10,000 
per day for each violation, and imprisonment for at least six months 
shall be available.
    (b)(1) The maximum civil penalty or criminal fines (as provided in 
paragraph (a)(3) of this section) shall be assessable for each instance 
of violation and, if the violation is continuous, shall be assessable up 
to the maximum amount for each day of violation.
    (2) The burden of proof and degree of knowledge or intent required 
under State law for establishing violations under paragraph (a)(3) of 
this section, shall be no greater than the burden of proof or degree of 
knowledge or intent EPA must provide when it brings an action under the 
Act.
    Note: For example, this requirement is not met if State law includes 
mental state as an element of proof for civil violations.
    (c) A civil penalty assessed, sought, or agreed upon by the State 
Director under paragraph (a)(3) of this section shall be appropriate to 
the violation.
    Note: To the extent the State judgments or settlements provide 
penalties in amounts which EPA believes to be substantially inadequate 
in comparison to the amounts which EPA would require under similar 
facts, EPA, when authorized by the applicable statute, may commence 
separate actions for penalties.
    In addition to the requirements of this paragraph, the State may 
have other enforcement remedies. The following enforcement options, 
while not mandatory, are highly recommended:
    Procedures for assessment by the State of the costs of 
investigations, inspections, or monitoring surveys which lead to the 
establishment of violations;
    Procedures which enable the State to assess or to sue any persons 
responsible for unauthorized activities for any expenses incurred by the 
State in removing, correcting, or terminating any adverse effects upon 
human health and the environment resulting from the unauthorized 
activity, whether or not accidental;
    Procedures which enable the State to sue for compensation for any 
loss or destruction of wildlife, fish or aquatic life, or their habitat, 
and for any other damages caused by unauthorized activity, either to the 
State or to any residents of the State who are directly aggrieved by the 
unauthorized activity, or both; and
    Procedures for the administrative assessment of penalties by the 
Director.
    (d) Any State administering a program under this subpart shall 
provide for public participation in the State

[[Page 394]]

enforcement process by providing either:
    (1) Authority which allows intervention as of right in any civil 
action to obtain the remedies specified in paragraph (a) (2) or (3) of 
this section by any citizen having an interest which is or may be 
adversely affected; or
    (2)(i) Assurance by the appropriate State agency that it will 
investigate and provide written responses to all citizen complaints 
submitted pursuant to the procedures specified in Sec. 271.15(b)(4);
    (ii) Assurance by the appropriate State enforcement authority that 
it will not oppose intervention by any citizen when permissive 
intervention is authorized by statute, rule, or regulation; and
    (iii) Assurance by the appropriate State enforcement authority that 
it will publish notice of and provide at least 30 days for public 
comment on all proposed settlements of civil enforcement actions, except 
in cases where a settlement requires some immediate action (e.g., 
cleanup) which if otherwise delayed could result in substantial damage 
to either public health or the environment.
    (e) Any State authority used to issue an enforceable document either 
in lieu of a post-closure permit as provided in 40 CFR 270.1(c)(7), or 
as a source of alternative requirements for regulated units, as provided 
under 40 CFR 264.90(f), 264.110(c), 264.140(d), 265.90(d), 265.110(d), 
and 265.140(d), shall have available the following remedies:
    (1) Authority to sue in courts of competent jurisdiction to enjoin 
any threatened or continuing violation of the requirements of such 
documents, as well as authority to compel compliance with requirements 
for corrective action or other emergency response measures deemed 
necessary to protect human health and the environment; and
    (2) Authority to access or sue to recover in court civil penalties, 
including fines, for violations of requirements in such documents.

Sec. 271.17  Sharing of information.

    (a) Any information obtained or used in the administration of a 
State program shall be available to EPA upon request without 
restriction. If the information has been submitted to the State under a 
claim of confidentiality, the State must submit that claim to EPA when 
providing information under this subpart. Any information obtained from 
a State and subject to a claim of confidentiality will be treated in 
accordance with the regulations in 40 CFR part 2. If EPA obtains from a 
State information that is not claimed to be confidential, EPA may make

do so. No such extension shall exceed six months.
    (4)(i) Within 30 days of the completion of the State program 
modification the State must submit to EPA a copy of the program change 
and a schedule indicating when the State intends to seek approval of the

modifications must be completed and submitted by the deadlines 
speciflines specified in paragraph (e) of this section or by the date of 
final authorization, whichever is later.

during that period of time,
    (ii) The State has made progress in adopting the program 
modifications,
    (iii) The State submits a proposed timetable for the requisite 
regulatory and/or statutory revisions by the deadline granted under 
paragraph (e)(3),

Administrator may initiate program withdrawal procedures pursuant to 
Secs. 271.22 and 271.23.

reasonable time, not to exceed 90 days, to take such appropriate 
corrective action as the Administrator determines necessary.
    (iv) Within the time prescribed by the Administrator the State shall 
take such appropriate corrective action as required by the Administrator 
and shall file with the Administrator and all parties a statement 
certified by the State Director that appropriate corrective action has 
been taken.
    (v) The Administrator may require a further showing in addition to 
the certified statement that corrective action has been taken.
    (vi) If the State fails to take appropriate corrective action and 
file a certified statement thereof within the time prescribed by the 
Administrator, the Administrator shall issue a supplementary order 
withdrawing approval of the State program. If the State takes 
appropriate corrective action, the Administrator shall issue a 
supplementary order stating that approval of authority is not withdrawn.
    (vii) The Administrator's supplementary order shall constitute final 
Agency action within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 704.
    (c) Withdrawal of authorization under this section and the Act does 
not relieve any person from complying with the requirements of State 
law, nor does it affect the validity of actions by the State prior to 
withdrawal.

    (a) Any State which is applying for or has been granted final 
authorization pursuant to section 3006(b) of RCRA may submit to the 
Administrator evidence that its program contains (or has been amended to 
include) any requirement which is substantially equivalent to a 
requirement identified in Sec. 271.1(j) of this part. Such a State may 
request interim authorization under section 3006(g) of RCRA to carry out 
the State requirement in lieu of the Administrator carrying out the 
Federal requirement.
    (b) The applications shall be governed by the procedures for program 
revisions in Sec. 271.21(b) of this part.
    (c) Interim authorization pursuant to this section expires on

[51 FR 33723, Sept. 22, 1986]



Sec. 271.26  Requirements for used oil management.

    The State shall have standards for used oil management which are 
equivalent to 40 CFR part 279. These standards shall include:
    (a) Standards for used oil generators which are equivalent to those 
under subpart C of part 279 of this chapter;
    (b) Standards for used oil collection centers and aggregation points 
which are equivalent to those under subpart D of part 279 of this 
chapter;
    (c) Standards for used oil transporters and transfer facilities 
which are equivalent to those under subpart E of part 279 of this 
chapter;
    (d) Standards for used oil processors and re-refiners which are 
equivalent to those under subpart F of part 279 of this chapter;
    (e) Standards for used oil burners who burn off-specification used 
oil for energy recovery which are equivalent to those under subpart G of 
part 279 of this chapter;
    (f) Standards for used oil fuel marketers which are equivalent to 
those under subpart H of part 279 of this chapter; and
    (g) Standards for use as a dust suppressant and disposal of used oil 
which are equivalent to those under subpart I of part 279 of this 
chapter. A State may

petition (e.g., as part of its authorization petition submitted to EPA 
under Sec. 271.5) EPA to allow the use of used oil (that is not mixed 
with hazardous waste and does not exhibit a characteristic other than 
ignitability) as a dust suppressant. The State must show that it has a 
program in place to prevent the use of used oil/hazardous waste mixtures 
or used oil exhibiting a characteristic other than ignitability as a 
dust suppressant. In addition, such programs must minimize the impacts 
of use as a dust suppressant on the environment.
    (h)(1) Unless otherwise provided in part 271, state programs shall 
have standards for the marketing and burning of used oil for energy 
recovery that are at least as stringent as the requirements and 
prohibitions that EPA adopted on November 29, in 40 CFR part 266, 
subpart E of this chapter. The part 279 of this chapter requirements 
specified in Table 1 (except those provisions identified in footnotes 1 
and 2 of Table 1) are Federally enforceable in those states that have 
not adopted state requirements equivalent to 40 CFR part 279, subparts G 
and H of this chapter requirements and have not been authorized to 
enforce the state requirements.

RCRA, but, on a temporary basis, may seek interim authorization for 
revisions required by HSWA pursuant to section 3006(g) of RCRA, 42 
U.S.C. 6926(g). If Delaware obtains final authorization for the revised 
requirements pursuant to section 3006(b) of RCRA, the newly authorized 
provisions will be listed in Sec. 272.401. If Delaware obtains interim 
authorization for the revised requirements pursuant to section 3006(g),

Sec. 272.650  State authorization.

    (a) The State of Idaho is authorized to administer and enforce a 
hazardous waste management program in lieu of the Federal program under 
subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 
U.S.C. 6921 et seq., subject to the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments 
of 1984 (HSWA), (Pub. L. 98-616, Nov. 8, 1984), 42 U.S.C. 6926 (c) and 
(g)). The Federal program for which a State may receive authorization is 
defined in 40 CFR part 271. The State's program as administered by the 
Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, was approved by EPA pursuant to 
42 U.S.C. 6926 (b) and (g) and part 271 of this chapter. EPA's initial 
approval of Idaho's program for the base, HSWA and non-HSWA provisions 
promulgated as of July 1, 1987, was effective on April 9, 1990 (see 55 
FR 11015 dated March 26, 1990). EPA's approval of Idaho's corrective 
action program for those provisions promulgated as of July 1, 1987 was 
effective on June 5, 1992 (see 57 FR 11580 dated April 6, 1992).
    (b) Idaho is not authorized to implement any other HSWA requirements 
promulgated after June 30, 1990, in lieu of EPA unless EPA has 
explicitly indicated its intent to allow such action in a Federal 
Register notice granting Idaho authorization.
    (c) Idaho has primary responsibility for enforcing its hazardous 
waste program. However, EPA retains the authority to exercise its 
enforcement authorities under sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003 of 
RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6927, 6928, 6934, and 6973, as well as under other 
Federal laws and regulations.
    (d) Idaho must revise its approved program to adopt new changes to 
the Federal subtitle C program, in accordance with section 3006(b) of

Sec. 272.1150  State authorization.

    (a) The State of Michigan is authorized to administer and enforce a 
hazardous waste management program in lieu of the Federal program under 
subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), 
42 U.S.C. 6921 et seq. subject to the Hazardous and Solid Waste 
Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) (Public Law 98-616, November 8, 1984), 42 
U.S.C. 6926 (c) and (g). The Federal program for which a State may 
receive authorization is defined in 40 CFR part 271. The State's 
program, as administered by the Michigan Department of Natural 
Resources, was approved by EPA pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6926(b) and part 
271 of this chapter. EPA's approval of Michigan's base program was 
effective on October 30, 1986 (see 51 FR 36804). EPA's approval of the 
revisions to Michigan's base program was effective on January 23, 1990 
(see 54 FR 48608) and RCRA Cluster III authorization effective June 24, 
1991 (see 56 FR 18517).
    (b) Michigan is authorized to implement certain HSWA requirements in 
lieu of EPA. EPA has explicitly indicated its intent to allow such 
action in a Federal Register notice granting Michigan authorization and 
RCRA Cluster III authorization effective June 24, 1991 (see 56 FR 
18517).
    (c) Michigan has primary responsibility for enforcing its hazardous 
waste program. However, EPA retains the authority to exercise its 
enforcement authorities under sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003 of 
RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6927, 6928, 6934, and 6973, as well as under other 
Federal laws and regulations.
    (d) Michigan must revise its approved program to adopt new changes 
to the Federal Subtitle C program in accordance with section 3006(b) of 
RCRA and 40 CFR part 271, subpart A. Michigan must seek final 
authorization for all program revisions, pursuant to section 3006(b) of 
RCRA but, on a temporary basis, may seek interim authorization for 
revisions required by HSWA, pursuant to section 3006(g) of RCRA, 42 
U.S.C. 6926(g). If Michigan obtains final authorization for the revised 
requirements pursuant to section 3006(g), the newly authorized 
provisions will be listed in Sec. 272.1151 of this subpart. If Michigan 
obtains interim authorization for the revised requirements pursuant to 
section 3006(g), the newly authorized provisions will be listed in

Sec. 272.1800  State authorization.

    (a) The State of Ohio is authorized to administer and enforce a 
hazardous waste management program in lieu of the Federal program under 
subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), 
42 U.S.C. 6291 et seq., subject to the Hazardous and Solid Waste 
Amendments of 1984

[[Page 427]]

(HSWA) (Pub. L. 98-616, November 8, 1984), 42 U.S.C. 6926 (c) and (g). 
The Federal program for which a State may receive authorization is 
defined in 40 CFR part 271. The State's program, as administered by the 
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, was approved by EPA pursuant to 42 
U.S.C. 6926(b) and part 271 of this chapter. EPA's approval of Ohio's 
base RCRA program was effective on June 30, 1989 (see 54 FR 27173). 
EPA's approval of revisions to Ohio's base program was effective on June 
7, 1991 (see 56 FR 14203) and August 19, 1991 (see 56 FR 28088).
    (b) Ohio is authorized to implement certain HSWA requirements in 
lieu of EPA. EPA has explicitly indicated its intent to allow much 
action in a Federal Register notice granting Ohio authorization on June 
7, 1991 (see 56 FR 14203) and August 19, 1991 (see 56 FR 28088).
    (c) Ohio has primary responsibility for enforcing its hazardous 
waste program. However, EPA retains the authority to exercise its 
enforcement authorities under Section 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003 of 
RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6927, 6928, 6934, and 6973, as well as under other 
Federal laws and regulations.
    (d) Ohio must revise its approved program to adopt new changes to 
the Federal Subtitle C program, in accordance with section 3006(b) of 
RCRA and 40 CFR part 271, subpart A. Ohio must seek final authorization 
for all program revisions pursuant to section 3006(b) of RCRA but, on a 
temporary basis, may seek interim authorization for revisions required 
by HSWA pursuant to section 3006(b) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6926(g). If Ohio 
obtains final authorization for the revised requirements pursuant to 
section 3006(b), the newly authorized provisions will be listed in 
272.1801 of this subpart. If Ohio in the future obtains interim 
authorization for the revised requirements pursuant to section 3006(g), 
the newly authorized provisions will be listed in Sec. 272.1802.

adopted at 335.112(a) and 335.152(a) and incorporated by reference at 
Sec. 272.2201(b)(1), is not approved by EPA and is, therefore, not

provisions of the State regulations include amendments published in the

provisions with the effective dates indicated in the table below. The 
actual State regulatory text authorized by EPA for the listed provisions

waste on the date it is discarded (e.g., when sent for reclamation).

[[Page 439]]

    (2) An unused battery becomes a waste on the date the handler 
decides to discard it.



Sec. 273.3  Applicability--pesticides.

    (a) Pesticides covered under 40 CFR part 273. The requirements of 
this part apply to persons managing pesticides, as described in 
Sec. 273.6, meeting the following conditions, except those listed in 
paragraph (b) of this section:
    (1) Recalled pesticides that are:
    (i) Stocks of a suspended and canceled pesticide that are part of a 
voluntary or mandatory recall under FIFRA Section 19(b), including, but 
not limited to those owned by the registrant responsible for conducting 
the recall; or
    (ii) Stocks of a suspended or cancelled pesticide, or a pesticide 
that is not in compliance with FIFRA, that are part of a voluntary 
recall by the registrant.
    (2) Stocks of other unused pesticide products that are collected and 
managed as part of a waste pesticide collection program.
    (b) Pesticides not covered under 40 CFR part 273. The requirements 
of this part do not apply to persons managing the following pesticides:
    (1) Recalled pesticides described in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section, and unused pesticide products described in paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section, that are managed by farmers in compliance with 40 CFR 
262.70. (40 CFR 262.70 addresses pesticides disposed of on the farmer's 
own farm in a manner consistent with the disposal instructions on the 
pesticide label, providing the container is triple rinsed in accordance 
with 40 CFR 261.7(b)(3));
    (2) Pesticides not meeting the conditions set forth in paragraph (a) 
of this section. These pesticides must be managed in compliance with the 
hazardous waste regulations in 40 CFR parts 260 through 272;
    (3) Pesticides that are not wastes under part 261 of this chapter, 
including those that do not meet the criteria for waste generation in 
paragraph (c) of this section or those that are not wastes as described 
in paragraph (d) of this section; and
    (4) Pesticides that are not hazardous waste. A pesticide is a 
hazardous waste if it is listed in 40 CFR part 261, subpart D or if it 
exhibits one or more of the characteristics identified in 40 CFR part 
261, subpart C.
    (c) When a pesticide becomes a waste. (1) A recalled pesticide 
described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section becomes a waste on the 
first date on which both of the following conditions apply:
    (i) The generator of the recalled pesticide agrees to participate in 
the recall; and
    (ii) The person conducting the recall decides to discard (e.g., burn 
the pesticide for energy recovery).
    (2) An unused pesticide product described in paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section becomes a waste on the date the generator decides to 
discard it.
    (d) Pesticides that are not wastes. The following pesticides are not 
wastes:
    (1) Recalled pesticides described in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section, provided that the person conducting the recall:
    (i) Has not made a decision to discard (e.g., burn for energy 
recovery) the pesticide. Until such a decision is made, the pesticide 
does not meet the definition of ``solid waste'' under 40 CFR 261.2; thus 
the pesticide is not a hazardous waste and is not subject to hazardous 
waste requirements, including this part 273. This pesticide remains 
subject to the requirements of FIFRA; or
    (ii) Has made a decision to use a management option that, under 40 
CFR 261.2, does not cause the pesticide to be a solid waste (i.e., the 
selected option is use (other than use constituting disposal) or reuse 
(other than burning for energy recovery), or reclamation). Such a 
pesticide is not a solid waste and therefore is not a hazardous waste, 
and is not subject to the hazardous waste requirements including this 
part 273. This pesticide, including a recalled pesticide that is 
exported to a foreign destination for use or reuse, remains subject to 
the requirements of FIFRA.
    (2) Unused pesticide products described in paragraph (a)(2) of this 
section, if the generator of the unused pesticide product has not 
decided to discard (e.g., burn for energy recovery) them. These 
pesticides remain subject to the requirements of FIFRA.

[[Page 440]]



Sec. 273.4  Applicability--mercury thermostats.

    (a) Thermostats covered under 40 CFR part 273. The requirements of 
this part apply to persons managing thermostats, as described in 
Sec. 273.6, except those listed in paragraph (b) of this section.
    (b) Thermostats not covered under 40 CFR part 273. The requirements 
of this part do not apply to persons managing the following thermostats:
    (1) Thermostats that are not yet wastes under part 261 of this 
chapter. Paragraph (c) of this section describes when thermostats become 
wastes.
    (2) Thermostats that are not hazardous waste. A thermostat is a 
hazardous waste if it exhibits one or more of the characteristics 
identified in 40 CFR part 261, subpart C.
    (c) Generation of waste thermostats. (1) A used thermostat becomes a 
waste on the date it is discarded (e.g., sent for reclamation).
    (2) An unused thermostat becomes a waste on the date the handler 
decides to discard it.



Sec. 273.5  Applicability--household and conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste.

    (a) Persons managing the wastes listed below may, at their option, 
manage them under the requirements of this part:
    (1) Household wastes that are exempt under 40 CFR 261.4(b)(1) and 
are also of the same type as the universal wastes defined at 40 CFR 
273.6; and/or
    (2) Conditionally exempt small quantity generator wastes that are 
exempt under 40 CFR 261.5 and are also of the same type as the universal 
wastes defined at 40 CFR 273.6.
    (b) Persons who commingle the wastes described in paragraphs (a)(1) 
and (a)(2) of this section together with universal waste regulated under 
this part must manage the commingled waste under the requirements of 
this part.



Sec. 273.6  Definitions.

    Battery means a device consisting of one or more electrically 
connected electrochemical cells which is designed to receive, store, and 
deliver electric energy. 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.
    Destination facility means a facility that treats, disposes of, or 
recycles a particular category of universal waste, except those 
management activities described in Sec. 273.13 (a) and (c) and 
Sec. 273.33 (a) and (c). A facility at which a particular category of 
universal waste is only accumulated, is not a destination facility for 
purposes of managing that category of universal waste.
    FIFRA means the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
(7 U.S.C. 136-136y).
    Generator means any person, by site, whose act or process produces 
hazardous waste identified or listed in part 261 of this chapter or 
whose act first causes a hazardous waste to become subject to 
regulation.
    Large Quantity Handler of Universal Waste means a universal waste 
handler (as defined in this section) who accumulates 5,000 kilograms or 
more total of universal waste (batteries, pesticides, or thermostats, 
calculated collectively) at any time. This designation as a large 
quantity handler of universal waste is retained through the end of the 
calendar year in which 5,000 kilograms or more total of universal waste 
is accumulated.
    On-site means the same or geographically contiguous property which 
may be divided by public or private right-of-way, provided that the

requirements of paragraph (b) of this section are met.
    (b) A large quantity handler of universal waste may accumulate 
universal waste for longer than one year from the date the universal 
waste is generated, or received from another handler, if such activity 
is solely for the purpose of accumulation of such quantities of 
universal waste as necessary to facilitate proper recovery, treatment, 
or disposal. However, the handler bears the burden of proving that such 
activity was solely for the purpose of accumulation of such quantities 
of universal waste as necessary to facilitate proper recovery, 
treatment, or disposal.
    (c) A large quantity handler of universal waste must be able to 
demonstrate the length of time that the universal waste has been 
accumulated from the date it becomes a waste or is received. The handler 
may make this demonstration by:
    (1) Placing the universal waste in a container and marking or 
labeling the container with the earliest date that any universal waste 
in the container became a waste or was received;
    (2) Marking or labeling the individual item of universal waste 
(e.g., each battery or thermostat) with the date it became a waste or 
was received;
    (3) Maintaining an inventory system on-site that identifies the date 
the universal waste being accumulated became a waste or was received;
    (4) Maintaining an inventory system on-site that identifies the 
earliest date that any universal waste in a group of universal waste 
items or a group of containers of universal waste became a waste or was 
received;
    (5) Placing the universal waste in a specific accumulation area and 
identifying the earliest date that any universal waste in the area 
became a waste or was received; or
    (6) Any other method which clearly demonstrates the length of time 
that the universal waste has been accumulated from the date it becomes a 
waste or is received.



Sec. 273.36  Employee training.

    A large quantity handler of universal waste must ensure that all 
employees are thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and 
emergency procedures, relative to their responsibilities during normal 
facility operations and emergencies.

    (a) A large quantity handler of universal waste must immediately 
contain all releases of universal wastes and other residues from 
universal wastes.
    (b) A large quantity handler of universal waste must determine 
whether any material resulting from the release is hazardous waste, and 
if so, must manage the hazardous waste in compliance with all applicable 
requirements of 40 CFR parts 260 through 272. The handler is considered 
the generator of the material resulting from the release, and is subject 
to 40 CFR part 262.

[[Page 449]]



Sec. 273.38  Off-site shipments.

    (a) A large quantity handler of universal waste is prohibited from 
sending or taking universal waste to a place other than another 
universal waste handler, a destination facility, or a foreign 
destination.
    (b) If a large quantity handler of universal waste self-transports 
universal waste off-site, the handler becomes a universal waste 
transporter for those self-transportation activities and must comply 
with the transporter requirements of subpart D of this part while 
transporting the universal waste.
    (c) If a universal waste being offered for off-site transportation 
meets the definition of hazardous materials under 49 CFR 171 through 
180, a large quantity handler of universal waste must package, label, 
mark and placard the shipment, and prepare the proper shipping papers in 
accordance with the applicable Department of Transportation regulations 
under 49 CFR parts 172 through 180;
    (d) Prior to sending a shipment of universal waste to another 
universal waste handler, the originating handler must ensure that the 
receiving handler agrees to receive the shipment.
    (e) If a large quantity handler of universal waste sends a shipment 
of universal waste to another handler or to a destination facility and 
the shipment is rejected by the receiving handler or destination 
facility, the originating handler must either:
    (1) Receive the waste back when notified that the shipment has been 
rejected, or
    (2) Agree with the receiving handler on a destination facility to 
which the shipment will be sent.
    (f) A large quantity handler of universal waste may reject a 
shipment containing universal waste, or a portion of a shipment 
containing universal waste that he has received from another handler. If 
a handler rejects a shipment or a portion of a shipment, he must contact 
the originating handler to notify him of the rejection and to discuss 
reshipment of the load. The handler must:
    (1) Send the shipment back to the originating handler, or
    (2) If agreed to by both the originating and receiving handler, send 
the shipment to a destination facility.
    (g) If a large quantity handler of universal waste receives a 
shipment containing hazardous waste that is not a universal waste, the

U.S. Department of Transportation regulations in 49 CFR part 171 through 
180 for transport of any universal waste that meets the definition of 
hazardous material in 49 CFR 171.8. For purposes of the Department of 
Transportation regulations, a material is considered a hazardous waste 
if it is subject to the Hazardous Waste Manifest Requirements of the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency specified in 40 CFR part 262. 
Because universal waste does not require a hazardous waste manifest, it 
is not considered hazardous waste under the Department of Transportation 
regulations.
    (b) Some universal waste materials are regulated by the Department 
of Transportation as hazardous materials because they meet the criteria 
for one or more hazard classes specified in 49 CFR 173.2. As universal 
waste shipments do not require a manifest under 40 CFR 262, they may not 
be described by the DOT proper shipping name ``hazardous waste, (l) or 
(s), n.o.s.'', nor may the hazardous material's proper shipping name be 
modified by adding the word ``waste''.



Sec. 273.53  Storage time limits.

    (a) A universal waste transporter may only store the universal waste 
at a universal waste transfer facility for ten days or less.
    (b) If a universal waste transporter stores universal waste for more 
than ten days, the transporter becomes a universal waste handler and 
must comply with the applicable requirements of subparts B or C of this 
part while storing the universal waste.



Sec. 273.54  Response to releases.

    (a) A universal waste transporter must immediately contain all 
releases of universal wastes and other residues from universal wastes.
    (b) A universal waste transporter must determine whether any 
material resulting from the release is hazardous waste, and if so, it is 
subject to all applicable requirements of 40 CFR parts

[[Page 451]]

260 through 272. If the waste is determined to be a hazardous waste, the 
transporter is subject to 40 CFR part 262.



Sec. 273.55  Off-site shipments.

    (a) A universal waste transporter is prohibited from transporting 
the universal waste to a place other than a universal waste handler, a 
destination facility, or a foreign destination.
    (b) If the universal waste being shipped off-site meets the 
Department of Transportation's definition of hazardous materials under 
49 CFR 171.8, the shipment must be properly described on a shipping 
paper in accordance with the applicable Department of Transportation 
regulations under 49 CFR part 172.



Sec. 273.56  Exports.

    A universal waste transporter transporting a shipment of universal 
waste to a foreign destination other than to those OECD countries 
specified in 40 CFR 262.58(a)(1) (in which case the transporter is 
subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 262, subpart H) may not 
accept a shipment if the transporter knows the shipment does not conform 
to the EPA Acknowledgment of Consent. In addition the transporter must 
ensure that:
    (a) A copy of the EPA Acknowledgment of Consent accompanies the 
shipment; and
    (b) The shipment is delivered to the facility designated by the 
person initiating the shipment.

[60 FR 25542, May 11, 1995, as amended at 61 FR 16316]



             Subpart E--Standards for Destination Facilities



Sec. 273.60  Applicability.

    (a) The owner or operator of a destination facility (as defined in 
40 CFR 273.6) is subject to all applicable requirements of parts 264, 
265, 266, 268, 270, and 124 of this chapter, and the notification 
requirement under section 3010 of RCRA:
    (b) The owner or operator of a destination facility that recycles a 
particular universal waste without storing that universal waste before 
it is recycled must comply with 40 CFR 261.6(c)(2).



Sec. 273.61  Off-site shipments.

    (a) The owner or operator of a destination facility is prohibited 
from sending or taking universal waste to a place other than a universal 
waste handler, another destination facility or foreign destination.
    (b) The owner or operator of a destination facility may reject a 
shipment containing universal waste, or a portion of a shipment 
containing universal waste. If the owner or operator of the destination 
facility rejects a shipment or a portion of a shipment, he must contact 
the shipper to notify him of the rejection and to discuss reshipment of 
the load. The owner or operator of the destination facility must:
    (1) Send the shipment back to the original shipper, or
    (2) If agreed to by both the shipper and the owner or operator of 
the destination facility, send the shipment to another destination 
facility.
    (c) If the a owner or operator of a destination facility receives a 
shipment containing hazardous waste that is not a universal waste, the 
owner or operator of the destination facility must immediately notify 
the appropriate regional EPA office of the illegal shipment, and provide 
the name, address, and phone number of the shipper. The EPA regional 
office will provide instructions for managing the hazardous waste.
    (d) If the owner or operator of a destination facility receives a 
shipment of non-hazardous, non-universal waste, the owner or operator 
may manage the waste in any way that is in compliance with applicable 
federal or state solid waste regulations.



Sec. 273.62  Tracking universal waste shipments.

    (a) The owner or operator of a destination facility must keep a 
record of each shipment of universal waste received at the facility. The 
record may take the form of a log, invoice, manifest, bill of lading, or 
other shipping document. The record for each shipment of universal waste 
received must include the following information:

[[Page 452]]

    (1) The name and address of the universal waste handler, destination 
facility, or foreign shipper from whom the universal waste was sent;
    (2) The quantity of each type of universal waste received (e.g., 
batteries, pesticides, thermostats);
    (3) The date of receipt of the shipment of universal waste.
    (b) The owner or operator of a destination facility must retain the 
records described in paragraph (a) of this section for at least three 
years from the date of receipt of a shipment of universal waste.



                     Subpart F--Import Requirements



Sec. 273.70  Imports.

    Persons managing universal waste that is imported from a foreign 
country into the United States are subject to the applicable 
requirements of this part, immediately after the waste enters the United 
States, as indicated in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section:
    (a) A universal waste transporter is subject to the universal waste

[60 FR 25542, May 11, 1995, as amended at 61 FR 16316]



   Subpart G--Petitions to Include Other Wastes Under 40 CFR Part 273



Sec. 273.80  General.

    (a) Any person seeking to add a hazardous waste or a category of 
hazardous waste to this part may petition for a regulatory amendment 
under this subpart and 40 CFR 260.20 and 260.23.
    (b) To be successful, the petitioner must demonstrate to the 
satisfaction of the Administrator that regulation under the universal 
waste regulations of 40 CFR part 273 is: appropriate for the waste or 
category of waste; will improve management practices for the waste or 
category of waste; and will improve implementation of the hazardous 
waste program. The petition must include the information required by 40 
CFR 260.20(b). The petition should also address as many of the factors 
listed in 40 CFR 273.81 as are appropriate for the waste or waste 
category addressed in the petition.
    (c) The Administrator will evaluate petitions using the factors 
listed in 40 CFR 273.81. The Administrator will grant or deny a petition 
using the factors listed in 40 CFR 273.81. The decision will be based on 
the weight of evidence showing that regulation under 40 CFR part 273 is 
appropriate for the waste or category of waste, will improve management 
practices for the waste or category of waste, and will improve 
implementation of the hazardous waste program.



Sec. 273.81  Factors for petitions to include other wastes under 40 CFR part 273.

    (a) The waste or category of waste, as generated by a wide variety 
of generators, is listed in subpart D of part 261 of this chapter, or 
(if not listed) a proportion of the waste stream exhibits one or more 
characteristics of hazardous waste identified in subpart C of part 261 
of this chapter. (When a characteristic waste is added to the universal 
waste regulations of 40 CFR part 273 by using a generic name to identify 
the waste category (e.g., batteries), the definition of universal waste 
in 40 CFR 260.10 and 273.6 will be amended to include only the hazardous 
waste portion of the waste category (e.g., hazardous waste batteries).) 
Thus, only the portion of the waste stream that does exhibit one or more 
characteristics (i.e., is hazardous waste) is subject to the universal 
waste regulations of 40 CFR part 273;
    (b) The waste or category of waste is not exclusive to a specific 
industry or

[[Page 453]]

group of industries, is commonly generated by a wide variety of types of 
establishments (including, for example, households, retail and 
commercial businesses, office complexes, conditionally exempt small 
quantity generators, small businesses, government organizations, as well 
as large industrial facilities);
    (c) The waste or category of waste is generated by a large number of 
generators (e.g., more than 1,000 nationally) and is frequently 
generated in relatively small quantities by each generator;
    (d) Systems to be used for collecting the waste or category of waste 
(including packaging, marking, and labeling practices) would ensure 
close stewardship of the waste;
    (e) The risk posed by the waste or category of waste during 
accumulation and transport is relatively low compared to other hazardous 
wastes, and specific management standards proposed or referenced by the 
petitioner (e.g., waste management requirements appropriate to be added 
to 40 CFR 273.13, 273.33, and 273.52; and/or applicable Department of 
Transportation requirements) would be protective of human health and the 
environment during accumulation and transport;
    (f) Regulation of the waste or category of waste under 40 CFR part 
273 will increase the likelihood that the waste will be diverted from 
non-hazardous waste management systems (e.g., the municipal waste 
stream, non-hazardous industrial or commercial waste stream, municipal 
sewer or stormwater systems) to recycling, treatment, or disposal in 
compliance with Subtitle C of RCRA.
    (g) Regulation of the waste or category of waste under 40 CFR part 
273 will improve implementation of and compliance with the hazardous 
waste regulatory program; and/or
    (h) Such other factors as may be appropriate.

person who collects used oil from more than one generator and transports 
the collected oil, and owners and operators of used oil transfer 
facilities. Used oil transporters may consolidate or aggregate loads of 
used oil for purposes of transportation but, with the following 
exception, may not process used oil. Transporters may conduct incidental 
processing operations that occur in the normal course of used oil 
transportation (e.g., settling and water separation), but that are not 
designed to produce (or make more amenable for production of) used oil 
derived products or used oil fuel.

                        Subpart B--Applicability



Sec. 279.10  Applicability.

    This section identifies those materials which are subject to 
regulation as used oil under this part. This section also identifies 
some materials that are not subject to regulation as used oil under this 
part, and indicates whether these materials may be subject to regulation 
as hazardous waste under parts 260 through 266, 268, 270, and 124 of 
this chapter.
    (a) Used oil. EPA presumes that used oil is to be recycled unless a 
used oil handler disposes of used oil, or sends used oil for disposal. 
Except as provided in Sec. 279.11, the regulations of this part apply to 
used oil, and to materials identified in this section as being subject 
to regulation as used oil, whether or not the used oil or material 
exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste identified in subpart C 
of part 261 of this chapter.
    (b) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste--(1) Listed hazardous 
waste. (i) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that is listed in 
subpart D of part 261 of this chapter are subject to regulation as 
hazardous waste under parts 260 through 266, 268, 270, and 124 of this 
chapter, rather than as used oil under this part.
    (ii) Rebuttable presumption for used oil. Used oil containing more 
than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste 
because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in 
subpart D of part 261 of this chapter. Persons may rebut this 
presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain 
hazardous waste (for example, by using an analytical method from SW-846, 
Edition III,

[[Page 456]]

to show that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of 
halogenated hazardous constituents listed in appendix VIII of part 261 
of this chapter). EPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available 
from the Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O. 
Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954, (202) 512-1800 (document number 
955-001-00000-1).
    (A) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/
fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through 
a tolling arrangement as described in Sec. 279.24(c), to reclaim 
metalworking oils/fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking 
oils/fluids if such oils/fluids are recycled in any other manner, or 
disposed.
    (B) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils 
contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration 
units where the CFCs are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable 
presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have 
been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.
    (2) Characteristic hazardous waste. Mixtures of used oil and 
hazardous waste that solely exhibits one or more of the hazardous waste 
characteristic identified in subpart C of part 261 of this chapter and 
mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that is listed in subpart D 
solely because it exhibits one or more of the characteristics of 
hazardous waste identified in subpart C are subject to:
    (i) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of this section, 
regulation as hazardous waste under parts 260 through 266, 268, 270, and 
124 of this chapter rather than as used oil under this part, if the 
resultant mixture exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste 
identified in subpart C of part 261 of this chapter; or
    (ii) Except as specified in Sec. 279.10(b)(2)(iii) regulation as 
used oil under this part, if the resultant mixture does not exhibit any 
characteristics of hazardous waste identified under subpart C of part 
261 of this chapter.
    (iii) Regulation as used oil under this part, if the mixture is of 
used oil and a waste which is hazardous solely because it exhibits the 
characteristic of ignitability (e.g., ignitable-only mineral spirits), 
provided that the resultant mixture does not exhibit the characteristic 
of ignitability under Sec. 261.21 of this chapter.
    (3) Conditionally exempt small quantity generator hazardous waste. 
Mixtures of used oil and conditionally exempt small quantity generator 
hazardous waste regulated under Sec. 261.5 of this chapter are subject 
to regulation as used oil under this part.
    (c) Materials containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil. 
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, materials 
containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil from which the used 
oil has been properly drained or removed to the extent possible such 
that no visible signs of free-flowing oil remain in or on the material:
    (i) Are not used oil and thus not subject to this part, and
    (ii) If applicable are subject to the hazardous waste regulations of 
parts 124, 260 through 266, 268, and 270 of this chapter.
    (2) Materials containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil 
that are burned for energy recovery are subject to regulation as used 
oil under this part.
    (3) Used oil drained or removed from materials containing or 
otherwise contaminated with used oil is subject to regulation as used 
oil under this part.
    (d) Mixtures of used oil with products. (1) Except as provided in 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section, mixtures of used oil and fuels or 
other fuel products are subject to regulation as used oil under this 
part.
    (2) Mixtures of used oil and diesel fuel mixed on-site by the 
generator of the used oil for use in the generator's own vehicles are 
not subject to this part once the used oil and diesel fuel have been 
mixed. Prior to mixing, the used oil is subject to the requirements of 
subpart C of this part.
    (e) Materials derived from used oil. (1) Materials that are 
reclaimed from used oil that are used beneficially and are not burned 
for energy recovery or used

[[Page 457]]

in a manner constituting disposal (e.g., re-refined lubricants) are:
    (i) Not used oil and thus are not subject to this part, and
    (ii) Not solid wastes and are thus not subject to the hazardous 
waste regulations of parts 260 through 266, 268, 270, and 124 of this 
chapter as provided in Sec. 261.3(c)(2)(i) of this chapter.
    (2) Materials produced from used oil that are burned for energy 
recovery (e.g., used oil fuels) are subject to regulation as used oil 
under this part.
    (3) Except as provided in paragraph (e)(4) of this section, 
materials derived from used oil that are disposed of or used in a manner 
constituting disposal are:
    (i) Not used oil and thus are not subject to this Part, and
    (ii) Are solid wastes and thus are subject to the hazardous waste 
regulations of parts 260 through 266, 268, 270, and 124 of this chapter 
if the materials are listed or identified as hazardous wastes.
    (4) Used oil re-refining distillation bottoms that are used as 
feedstock to manufacture asphalt products are not subject to this part.
    (f) Wastewater. Wastewater, the discharge of which is subject to 
regulation under either section 402 or section 307(b) of the Clean Water 
Act (including wastewaters at facilities which have eliminated the 
discharge of wastewater), contaminated with de minimis quantities of 
used oil are not subject to the requirements of this part. For purposes 
of this paragraph, ``de minimis'' quantities of used oils are defined as 
small spills, leaks, or drippings from pumps, machinery, pipes, and 
other similar equipment during normal operations or small amounts of oil 
lost to the wastewater treatment system during washing or draining 
operations. This exception will not apply if the used oil is discarded 
as a result of abnormal manufacturing operations resulting in 
substantial leaks, spills, or other releases, or to used oil recovered 
from wastewaters.
    (g) Used oil introduced into crude oil pipelines or a petroleum 
refining facility. (1) Used oil mixed with crude oil or natural gas 
liquids (e.g., in a production separator or crude oil stock tank) for 
insertion into a crude oil pipeline is exempt from the requirements of 
this part. The used oil is subject to the requirements of this part 
prior to the mixing of used oil with crude oil or natural gas liquids.
    (2) Mixtures of used oil and crude oil or natural gas liquids 
containing less than 1% used oil that are being stored or transported to 
a crude oil pipeline or petroleum refining facility for insertion into 
the refining process at a point prior to crude distillation or catalytic 
cracking are exempt from the requirements of this part.
    (3) Used oil that is inserted into the petroleum refining facility 
process before crude distillation or catalytic cracking without prior 
mixing with crude oil is exempt from the requirements of this part 
provided that the used oil constitutes less than 1% of the crude oil 
feed to any petroleum refining facility process unit at any given time. 
Prior to insertion into the petroleum refining facility process, the 
used oil is subject to the requirements of this part.
    (4) Except as provided in paragraph (g)(5) of this section, used oil 
that is introduced into a petroleum refining facility process after 
crude distillation or catalytic cracking is exempt from the requirements 
of this part only if the used oil meets the specification of 
Sec. 279.11. Prior to insertion into the petroleum refining facility 
process, the used oil is subject to the requirements of this part.
    (5) Used oil that is incidentally captured by a hydrocarbon recovery 
system or wastewater treatment system as part of routine process 
operations at a petroleum refining facility and inserted into the 
petroleum refining facility process is exempt from the requirements of 
this part. This exemption does not extend to used oil which is 
intentionally introduced into a hydrocarbon recovery system (e.g., by 
pouring collected used oil into the waste water treatment system).
    (6) Tank bottoms from stock tanks containing exempt mixtures of used 
oil and crude oil or natural gas liquids are exempt from the 
requirements of this part.
    (h) Used oil on vessels. Used oil produced on vessels from normal 
shipboard operations is not subject to this part until it is transported 
ashore.

[[Page 458]]

    (i) Used oil containing PCBs. In addition to the requirements of 
this part, marketers and burners of used oil who market used oil 
containing any quantifiable level of PCBs are subject to the 
requirements found at 40 CFR 761.20(e).

[57 FR 41612, Sept. 10, 1992, as amended at 58 FR 26425, May 3, 1993; 59

Sec. 279.11  Used oil specifications.

    Used oil burned for energy recovery, and any fuel produced from used 
oil by processing, blending, or other treatment, is subject to 
regulation under this part unless it is shown not to exceed any of the 
allowable levels of the constituents and properties in the specification 
shown in Table 1. Once used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery 
has been shown not to exceed any specification and the person making 
that showing complies with Secs. 279.72, 279.73, and 279.74(b), the used 
oil is no longer subject to this part.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The specification does not apply to mixtures of used oil and
  hazardous waste that continue to be regulated as hazardous waste (see
  Sec.  279.10(b)).
\2\ Used oil containing more than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed
  to be a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption provided
  under Sec.  279.10(b)(1). Such used oil is subject to subpart H of
  part 266 of this chapter rather than this part when burned for energy
  recovery unless the presumption of mixing can be successfully
  rebutted.

              Subpart C--Standards for Used Oil Generators



Sec. 279.20  Applicability.

    (a) General. Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) 
of this section, this subpart applies to all used oil generators. A used 
oil generator is any person, by site, whose act or process produces used 
oil or whose act first causes used oil to become subject to regulation.
    (1) Household ``do-it-yourselfer'' used oil generators. Household 
``do-it-yourselfer'' used oil generators are not subject to regulation 
under this part.
    (2) Vessels. Vessels at sea or at port are not subject to this 
subpart. For purposes of this subpart, used oil produced on vessels from 
normal shipboard operations is considered to be generated at the time it 
is transported ashore. The owner or operator of the vessel and the 
person(s) removing or accepting used oil from the vessel are

[[Page 459]]

co-generators of the used oil and are both responsible for managing the 
waste in compliance with this subpart once the used oil is transported 
ashore. The co-genenerators may decide among them which party will 
fulfill the requirements of this subpart.
    (3) Diesel fuel. Mixtures of used oil and diesel fuel mixed by the 
generator of the used oil for use in the generator's own vehicles are 
not subject to this part once the used oil and diesel fuel have been 
mixed. Prior to mixing, the used oil fuel is subject to the requirements 
of this subpart.
    (4) Farmers. Farmers who generate an average of 25 gallons per month 
or less of used oil from vehicles or machinery used on the farm in a 
calendar year are not subject to the requirements of this part.
    (b) Other applicable provisions. Used oil generators who conduct the 
following activities are subject to the requirements of other applicable 
provisions of this part as indicated in paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of 
this section:
    (1) Generators who transport used oil, except under the self-
transport provisions of Sec. 279.24 (a) and (b), must also comply with 
subpart E of this part.
    (2) (i) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section, 
generators who process or re-refine used oil must also comply with 
subpart F of this part.
    (ii) Generators who perform the following activities are not 
processors provided that the used oil is generated on-site and is not 
being sent off-site to a burner of on- or off-specification used oil 
fuel.
    (A) Filtering, cleaning, or otherwise reconditioning used oil before 
returning it for reuse by the generator;
    (B) Separating used oil from wastewater generated on-site to make 
the wastewater acceptable for discharge or reuse pursuant to section 402 
or section 307(b) of the Clean Water Act or other applicable Federal or 
state regulations governing the management or discharge of wastewaters;
    (C) Using oil mist collectors to remove small droplets of used oil 
from in-plant air to make plant air suitable for continued 
recirculation;
    (D) Draining or otherwise removing used oil from materials 
containing or otherwise contaminated with used oil in order to remove 
excessive oil to the extent possible pursuant to Sec. 279.10(c); or
    (E) Filtering, separating or otherwise reconditioning used oil 
before burning it in a space heater pursuant to Sec. 279.23.
    (3) Generators who burn off-specification used oil for energy 
recovery, except under the on-site space heater provisions of 
Sec. 279.23, must also comply with subpart G of this part.
    (4) Generators who direct shipments of off-specification used oil 
from their facility to a used oil burner or first claim that used oil 
that is to be burned for energy recovery meets the used oil fuel 
specifications set forth in Sec. 279.11 must also comply with subpart H 
of this part.
    (5) Generators who dispose of used oil, including the use of used 
oil as a dust suppressant, must also comply with subpart I of this part.

[57 FR 41612, Sept. 10, 1992, as amended at 59 FR 10560, Mar. 4, 1994]



Sec. 279.21  Hazardous waste mixing.

    (a) Mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste must be managed in 
accordance with Sec. 279.10(b).
    (b) The rebuttable presumption for used oil of Sec. 279.10(b)(1)(ii) 
applies to used oil managed by generators. Under the rebuttable 
presumption for used oil of Sec. 279.10(b)(1)(ii), used oil containing 
greater than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous 
waste and thus must be managed as hazardous waste and not as used oil 
unless the presumption is rebutted. However, the rebuttable presumption 
does not apply to certain metalworking oils/fluids and certain used oils 
removed from refrigeration units.

[57 FR 41612, Sept. 10, 1992, as amended at 58 FR 26425, May 3, 1993]



Sec. 279.22  Used oil storage.

Control and Countermeasures (40 CFR part 112) in addition to the 
requirements of this Subpart. Used oil generators are also subject to 
the Underground Storage Tank (40 CFR part 280) standards for used oil 
stored in underground tanks whether or not the used oil exhibits

[[Page 460]]

any characteristics of hazardous waste, in addition to the requirements 
of this subpart.
    (a) Storage units. Used oil generators shall not store used oil in 
units other than tanks, containers, or units subject to regulation under 
parts 264 or 265 of this chapter.
    (b) Condition of units. Containers and aboveground tanks used to 
store used oil at generator facilities must be:
    (1) In good condition (no severe rusting, apparent structural 
defects or deterioration); and
    (2) Not leaking (no visible leaks).
    (c) Labels. (1) Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used 
oil at generator facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the 
words ``Used Oil.''
    (2) Fill pipes used to transfer used oil into underground storage 
tanks at generator facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the 
words ``Used Oil.''
    (d) Response to releases. Upon detection of a release of used oil to 
the environment that is not subject to the requirements of part 280, 
subpart F of this chapter and which has occurred after the effective 
date of the recycled used oil management program in effect in the State 
in which the release is located, a generator must perform the following 
cleanup steps:
    (1) Stop the release;
    (2) Contain the released used oil;
    (3) Clean up and manage properly the released used oil and other 
materials; and
    (4) If necessary, repair or replace any leaking used oil storage 
containers or tanks prior to returning them to service.

FR 24969, May 6, 1998]



Sec. 279.23  On-site burning in space heaters.

    Generators may burn used oil in used oil-fired space heaters 
provided that:
    (a) The heater burns only used oil that the owner or operator 
generates or used oil received from household do-it-yourself used oil 
generators;
    (b) The heater is designed to have a maximum capacity of not more 
than 0.5 million Btu per hour; and
    (c) The combustion gases from the heater are vented to the ambient 
air.

[57 FR 41612, Sept. 10, 1992, as amended at 58 FR 26425, May 3, 1993]



Sec. 279.24  Off-site shipments.

    Except as provided in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section, 
generators must ensure that their used oil is transported only by 
transporters who have obtained EPA identification numbers.
    (a) Self-transportation of small amounts to approved collection 
centers. Generators may transport, without an EPA identification number, 
used oil that is generated at the generator's site and used oil 
collected from household do-it-yourselfers to a used oil collection 
center provided that:
    (1) The generator transports the used oil in a vehicle owned by the 
generator or owned by an employee of the generator;
    (2) The generator transports no more than 55 gallons of used oil at 
any time; and
    (3) The generator transports the used oil to a used oil collection 
center that is registered, licensed, permitted, or recognized by a 
state/county/municipal government to manage used oil.
    (b) Self-transportation of small amounts to aggregation points owned 
by the generator. Generators may transport, without an EPA 
identification number, used oil that is generated at the generator's 
site to an aggregation point provided that:
    (1) The generator transports the used oil in a vehicle owned by the 
generator or owned by an employee of the generator;
    (2) The generator transports no more than 55 gallons of used oil at 
any time; and
    (3) The generator transports the used oil to an aggregation point 
that is owned and/or operated by the same generator.
    (c) Tolling arrangements. Used oil generators may arrange for used 
oil to be transported by a transporter without an EPA identification 
number if the used oil is reclaimed under a contractual agreement 
pursuant to which reclaimed oil is returned by the processor/re-refiner 
to the generator for use as a lubricant, cutting oil, or coolant.

[[Page 461]]

The contract (known as a ``tolling arrangement'') must indicate:
    (1) The type of used oil and the frequency of shipments;
    (2) That the vehicle used to transport the used oil to the 
processing/re-refining facility and to deliver recycled used oil back to 
the generator is owned and operated by the used oil processor/re-
refiner; and
    (3) That reclaimed oil will be returned to the generator.



  Subpart D--Standards for Used Oil Collection Centers and Aggregation 
                                 Points



Sec. 279.30  Do-it-yourselfer used oil collection centers.

    (a) Applicability. This section applies to owners or operators of 
all do-it-yourselfer (DIY) used oil collection centers. A DIY used oil 
collection center is any site or facility that accepts/aggregates and 
stores used oil collected only from household do-it-yourselfers.
    (b) DIY used oil collection center requirements. Owners or operators 
of all DIY used oil collection centers must comply with the generator 
standards in subpart C of this part.

of this section, this subpart applies to all used oil transporters. Used 
oil transporters are persons who transport used oil, persons who collect 
used oil from more than one generator and transport the collected oil, 
and owners and operators of used oil transfer facilities.
    (1) This subpart does not apply to on-site transportation.
    (2) This subpart does not apply to generators who transport 
shipments of used oil totalling 55 gallons or less from the generator to 
a used oil collection center as specified in Sec. 279.24(a).
    (3) This subpart does not apply to generators who transport 
shipments of used oil totalling 55 gallons or less from the generator to 
a used oil aggregation point owned or operated by the same generator as 
specified in Sec. 279.24(b).
    (4) This subpart does not apply to transportation of used oil from 
household do-it-yourselfers to a regulated used oil generator, 
collection center, aggregation point, processor/re-refiner, or burner 
subject to the requirements of this part. Except as provided in 
paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of this section, this subpart does, 
however, apply to transportation of collected household do-it-yourselfer 
used oil from regulated used oil generators, collection centers, 
aggregation points, or

[[Page 462]]

other facilities where household do-it-yourselfer used oil is collected.
    (b) Imports and exports. Transporters who import used oil from 
abroad or export used oil outside of the United States are subject to

Sec. 279.44  Rebuttable presumption for used oil.

    (a) To ensure that used oil is not a hazardous waste under the 
rebuttable presumption of Sec. 279.10(b)(1)(ii), the used oil 
transporter must determine whether the total halogen content of used oil 
being transporter or stored at a transfer facility is above or below 
1,000 ppm.
    (b) The transporter must make this determination by:
    (1) Testing the used oil; or
    (2) Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in 
light of the materials or processes used.
    (c) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to 1,000 ppm 
total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has 
been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in subpart D of part 
261 of this chapter. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by 
demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for 
example, by using an analytical method from SW-846, Edition III, to show 
that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of 
halogenated hazardous constituents listed in Appendix VIII of part 261 
of this chapter). EPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available 
from the Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, PO Box 
371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954. (202) 512-1800 (document number 955-
001-00000-1).
    (1) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/
fluids

[[Page 464]]

containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a 
tolling arrangement as described in Sec. 279.24(c), to reclaim 
metalworking oils/fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking 
oils/fluids if such oils/fluids are recycled in any other manner, or 
disposed.
    (2) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils 
contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration 
units if the CFC are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable 
presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have 
been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.
    (d) Record retention. Records of analyses conducted or information 
used to comply with paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section must be 
maintained by the transporter for at least 3 years.

    (a) Preparedness and prevention. Owners and operators of used oil 
processors and re-refiners facilities must comply with the following 
requirements:
    (1) Maintenance and operation of facility. Facilities must be 
maintained and

[[Page 467]]

operated to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or any 
unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of used oil to air, soil, or 
surface water which could threaten human health or the environment.
    (2) Required equipment. All facilities must be equipped with the 
following, unless none of the hazards posed by used oil handled at the 
facility could require a particular kind of equipment specified in 
paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through (iv) of this section:
    (i) An internal communications or alarm system capable of providing 
immediate emergency instruction (voice or signal) to facility personnel;
    (ii) A device, such as a telephone (immediately available at the 
scene of operations) or a hand-held two-way radio, capable of summoning 
emergency assistance from local police departments, fire departments, or 
State or local emergency response teams;
    (iii) Portable fire extinguishers, fire control equipment (including 
special extinguishing equipment, such as that using foam, inert gas, or 
dry chemicals), spill control equipment and decontamination equipment; 
and
    (iv) Water at adequate volume and pressure to supply water hose 
streams, or foam producing equipment, or automatic sprinklers, or water 
spray systems.
    (3) Testing and maintenance of equipment. All facility 
communications or alarm systems, fire protection equipment, spill 
control equipment, and decontamination equipment, where required, must 
be tested and maintained as necessary to assure its proper operation in 
time of emergency.
    (4) Access to communications or alarm system. (i) Whenever used oil 
is being poured, mixed, spread, or otherwise handled, all personnel 
involved in the operation must have immediate access to an internal 
alarm or emergency communication device, either directly or through 
visual or voice contact with another employee, unless such a device is 
not required in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (ii) If there is ever just one employee on the premises while the 
facility is operating, the employee must have immediate access to a 
device, such as a telephone (immediately available at the scene of 
operation) or a hand-held two-way radio, capable of summoning external 
emergency assistance, unless such a device is not required in paragraph 
(a)(2) of this section.
    (5) Required aisle space. The owner or operator must maintain aisle 
space to allow the unobstructed movement of personnel, fire protection 
equipment, spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment to any 
area of facility operation in an emergency, unless aisle space is not 
needed for any of these purposes.
    (6) Arrangements with local authorities. (i) The owner or operator 
must attempt to make the following arrangements, as appropriate for the 
type of used oil handled at the facility and the potential need for the 
services of these organizations:
    (A) Arrangements to familiarize police, fire departments, and 
emergency response teams with the layout of the facility, properties of 
used oil handled at the facility and associated hazards, places where 
facility personnel would normally be working, entrances to roads inside 
the facility, and possible evacuation routes;
    (B) Where more than one police and fire department might respond to 
an emergency, agreements designating primary emergency authority to a 
specific police and a specific fire department, and agreements with any 
others to provide support to the primary emergency authority;
    (C) Agreements with State emergency response teams, emergency 
response contractors, and equipment suppliers; and
    (D) Arrangements to familiarize local hospitals with the properties 
of used oil handled at the facility and the types of injuries or 
illnesses which could result from fires, explosions, or releases at the 
facility.
    (ii) Where State or local authorities decline to enter into such 
arrangements, the owner or operator must document the refusal in the 
operating record.
    (b) Contingency plan and emergency procedures. Owners and operators 
of used oil processors and re-refiners facilities must comply with the 
following requirements:

[[Page 468]]

    (1) Purpose and implementation of contingency plan. (i) Each owner 
or operator must have a contingency plan for the facility. The 
contingency plan must be designed to minimize hazards to human health or 
the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-
sudden release of used oil to air, soil, or surface water.
    (ii) The provisions of the plan must be carried out immediately 
whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release or used oil which could 
threaten human health or the environment.
    (2) Content of contingency plan. (i) The contingency plan must 
describe the actions facility personnel must take to comply with 
paragraphs (b) (1) and (6) of this section in response to fires, 
explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of used oil to 
air, soil, or surface water at the facility.
    (ii) If the owner or operator has already prepared a Spill 
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with 
part 112 of this chapter, or part 1510 of chapter V of this title, or 
some other emergency or contingency plan, the owner or operator need 
only amend that plan to incorporate used oil management provisions that 
are sufficient to comply with the requirements of this part.
    (iii) The plan must describe arrangements agreed to by local police 
departments, fire departments, hospitals, contractors, and State and 
local emergency response teams to coordinate emergency services, 
pursuant to paragraph (a)(6) of this section.
    (iv) The plan must list names, addresses, and phone numbers (office 
and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see 
paragraph (b)(5) of this section), and this list must be kept up to 
date. Where more than one person is listed, one must be named as primary 
emergency coordinator and others must be listed in the order in which 
they will assume responsibility as alternates.
    (v) The plan must include a list of all emergency equipment at the 
facility (such as fire extinguishing systems, spill control equipment, 
communications and alarm systems (internal and external), and 
decontamination equipment), where this equipment is required. This list 
must be kept up to date. In addition, the plan must include the location 
and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief outline 
of its capabilities.
    (vi) The plan must include an evacuation plan for facility personnel 
where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This 
plan must describe signal(s) to be used to begin evacuation, evacuation 
routes, and alternate evacuation routes (in cases where the primary 
routes could be blocked by releases of used oil or fires).
    (3) Copies of contingency plan. A copy of the contingency plan and 
all revisions to the plan must be:
    (i) Maintained at the facility; and
    (ii) Submitted to all local police departments, fire departments, 
hospitals, and State and local emergency response teams that may be 
called upon to provide emergency services.
    (4) Amendment of contingency plan. The contingency plan must be 
reviewed, and immediately amended, if necessary, whenever:
    (i) Applicable regulations are revised;
    (ii) The plan fails in an emergency;
    (iii) The facility changes--in its design, construction, operation, 
maintenance, or other circumstances--in a way that materially increases 
the potential for fires, explosions, or releases of used oil, or changes 
the response necessary in an emergency;
    (iv) The list of emergency coordinators changes; or
    (v) The list of emergency equipment changes.
    (5) Emergency coordinator. At all times, there must be at least one 
employee either on the facility premises or on call (i.e., available to 
respond to an emergency by reaching the facility within a short period 
of time) with the responsibility for coordinating all emergency response 
measures. This emergency coordinator must be thoroughly familiar with 
all aspects of the facility's contingency plan, all operations and 
activities at the facility, the location and characteristic of used oil 
handled, the location of all records within the facility, and facility 
layout. In addition, this person must have the authority to commit the 
resources needed to carry out the contingency plan.

[[Page 469]]

    Guidance: The emergency coordinator's responsibilities are more 
fully spelled out in paragraph (b)(6) of this section. Applicable 
responsibilities for the emergency coordinator vary, depending on 
factors such as type and variety of used oil handled by the facility, 
and type and complexity of the facility.
    (6) Emergency procedures. (i) Whenever there is an imminent or 
actual emergency situation, the emergency coordinator (or the designee 
when the emergency coordinator is on call) must immediately:
    (A) Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems, 
where applicable, to notify all facility personnel; and
    (B) Notify appropriate State or local agencies with designated 
response roles if their help is needed.
    (ii) Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency 
coordinator must immediately identify the character, exact source, 
amount, and a real extent of any released materials. He may do this by 
observation or review of facility records of manifests and, if 
necessary, by chemical analysts.
    (iii) Concurrently, the emergency coordinator must assess possible 
hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the 
release, fire, or explosion. This assessment must consider both direct 
and indirect effects of the release, fire, or explosion (e.g., the 
effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating gases that are 
generated, or the effects of any hazardous surface water run-offs from 
water of chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced 
explosions).
    (iv) If the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has 
had a release, fire, or explosion which could threaten human health, or 
the environment, outside the facility, he must report his findings as 
follows:
    (A) If his assessment indicated that evacuation of local areas may 
be advisable, he must immediately notify appropriate local authorities. 
He must be available to help appropriate officials decide whether local 
areas should be evacuated; and
    (B) He must immediately notify either the government official 
designated as the on-scene coordinator for the geographical area (in the 
applicable regional contingency plan under part 1510 of this title), or 
the National Response Center (using their 24-hour toll free number 800/
424-8802). The report must include:
    (1) Name and telephone number of reporter;
    (2) Name and address of facility;
    (3) Time and type of incident (e.g., release, fire);
    (4) Name and quantity of material(s) involved, to the extent known;
    (5) The extent of injuries, if any; and
    (6) The possible hazards to human health, or the environment, 
outside the facility.
    (v) During an emergency, the emergency coordinator must take all 
reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and 
releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other used oil or hazardous 
waste at the facility. These measures must include, where applicable, 
stopping processes and operation, collecting and containing released 
used oil, and removing or isolating containers.
    (vi) If the facility stops operation in response to a fire, 
explosion, or release, the emergency coordinator must monitor for leaks, 
pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or other 
equipment, wherever this is appropriate.
    (vii) Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator must 
provide for recycling, storing, or disposing of recovered used oil, 
contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results 
from a release, fire, or explosion at the facility.
    (viii) The emergency coordinator must ensure that, in the affected 
area(s) of the facility:
    (A) No waste or used oil that may be incompatible with the released 
material is recycled, treated, stored, or disposed of until cleanup 
procedures are completed; and
    (B) All emergency equipment listed in the contingency plan is 
cleaned and fit for its intended use before operations are resumed.
    (C) The owner or operator must notify the Regional Administrator, 
and appropriate State and local authorities that the facility is in 
compliance with paragraphs (b)(6)(viii)(A) and (B) of this

[[Page 470]]

section before operations are resumed in the affected area(s) of the 
facility.
    (ix) The owner or operator must note in the operating record the 
time, date and details of any incident that requires implementing the 
contingency plan. Within 15 days after the incident, he must submit a 
written report on the incident to the Regional Administrator. The report 
must include:
    (A) Name, address, and telephone number of the owner or operator;
    (B) Name, address, and telephone number of the facility;
    (C) Date, time, and type of incident (e.g., fire, explosion);
    (D) Name and quantity of material(s) involved;
    (E) The extent of injuries, if any;
    (F) An assessment of actual or potential hazards to human health or 
the environment, where this is applicable;

Sec. 279.53  Rebuttable presumption for used oil.

    (a) To ensure that used oil managed at a processing/re-refining 
facility is not hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of 
Sec. 279.10(b)(1)(ii), the owner or operator of a used oil processing/
re-refining facility must determine whether the total halogen content of 
used oil managed at the facility is above or below 1,000 ppm.
    (b) The owner or operator must make this determination by:
    (1) Testing the used oil; or
    (2) Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in 
light of the materials or processes used.
    (c) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to 1,000 ppm 
total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has 
been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in subpart D of part 
261 of this chapter. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by 
demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for 
example, by using an analytical method from SW-846, Edition III, to show 
that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of 
halogenated hazardous constituents listed in appendix VIII of part 261 
of this chapter). EPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available 
from the Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O. 
Box 371954, Pittsburgh PA 15250-7954, (202) 512-1800 (document number 
955-001-00000-1).
    (1) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/
fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through 
a tolling agreement, to reclaim metalworking oils/fluids. The 
presumption does apply to metalworking oils/fluids if such oils/fluids 
are recycled in any other manner, or disposed.
    (2) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils 
contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration 
units where the CFCs are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable 
presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have 
been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.

light of the materials or processes used; or

[[Page 475]]

    (3) If the used oil has been received from a processor/refiner 
subject to regulation under subpart F of this part, using information 
provided by the processor/re-refiner.
    (c) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to 1,000 ppm 
total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste/because it has 
been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in subpart D of part 
261 of this chapter. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by 
demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for 
example, by using an analytical method from SW-846, Edition III, to show 
that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of 
halogenated hazardous constituents listed in appendix VIII of part 261 
of this chapter). EPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available 
from the Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, PO Box 
371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954. 202-512-1800 (document number 955-

    (1) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils/
fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through 
a tolling arrangement as described in Sec. 279.24(c), to reclaim 
metalworking oils/fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking 
oils/fluids if such oils/fluids are recycled in any other manner, or 
disposed.
    (2) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils 
contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration 
units where the CFCs are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable 
presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have 
been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.
    (d) Record retention. Records of analyses conducted or information 
used to comply with paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section must be 
maintained by the burner for at least 3 years.

preventing lateral as well as vertical migration of regulated 
substances).
    (4) Underground piping must be equipped with secondary containment 
that satisfies the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) of this section 
(e.g., trench liners, jacketing of double-walled pipe). In addition, 
underground piping that conveys regulated substances under pressure must 
be equipped with an automatic line leak detector in accordance with 
Sec. 280.44(a).
    (5) Other methods of release detection may be used if owners and 
operators:
    (i) Demonstrate to the implementing agency that an alternate method 
can detect a release of the stored substance as effectively as any of 
the methods allowed in Secs. 280.43(b) through (h) can detect a release 
of petroleum;
    (ii) Provide information to the implementing agency on effective 
corrective action technologies, health risks, and chemical and physical 
properties of the stored substance, and the characteristics of the UST 
site; and,
    (iii) Obtain approval from the implementing agency to use the 
alternate release detection method before the installation and operation 
of the new UST system.



Sec. 280.43  Methods of release detection for tanks.

    Each method of release detection for tanks used to meet the 
requirements of Sec. 280.41 must be conducted in accordance with the 
following:
    (a) Inventory control. Product inventory control (or another test of 
equivalent performance) must be conducted monthly to detect a release of 
at least 1.0 percent of flow-through plus 130 gallons on a monthly basis 
in the following manner:
    (1) Inventory volume measurements for regulated substance inputs, 
withdrawals, and the amount still remaining in the tank are recorded 
each operating day;
    (2) The equipment used is capable of measuring the level of product 
over the full range of the tank's height to the nearest one-eighth of an 
inch;
    (3) The regulated substance inputs are reconciled with delivery 
receipts by measurement of the tank inventory volume before and after 
delivery;
    (4) Deliveries are made through a drop tube that extends to within 
one foot of the tank bottom;
    (5) Product dispensing is metered and recorded within the local 
standards for meter calibration or an accuracy of 6 cubic inches for 
every 5 gallons of product withdrawn; and
    (6) The measurement of any water level in the bottom of the tank is 
made to the nearest one-eighth of an inch at least once a month.
    Note: Practices described in the American Petroleum Institute 
Publication 1621, ``Recommended Practice for Bulk Liquid Stock Control 
at Retail Outlets,'' may be used, where applicable, as guidance in 
meeting the requirements of this paragraph.
    (b) Manual tank gauging. Manual tank gauging must meet the following 
requirements:
    (1) Tank liquid level measurements are taken at the beginning and 
ending of a period of at least 36 hours during which no liquid is added 
to or removed from the tank;
    (2) Level measurements are based on an average of two consecutive 
stick readings at both the beginning and ending of the period;
    (3) The equipment used is capable of measuring the level of product 
over the full range of the tank's height to the nearest one-eighth of an 
inch;
    (4) A leak is suspected and subject to the requirements of subpart E 
if the variation between beginning and ending measurements exceeds the 
weekly or monthly standards in the following table:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Monthly standard
      Nominal tank capacity         Weekly standard    (average of four
                                      (one test)            tests)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
550 gallons or less.............  10 gallons........  5 gallons.
551-1,000 gallons...............  13 gallons........  7 gallons.
1,001-2,000 gallons.............  26 gallons........  13 gallons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------


[[Page 494]]

    (5) Only tanks of 550 gallons or less nominal capacity may use this 
as the sole method of release detection. Tanks of 551 to 2,000 gallons 
may use the method in place of manual inventory control in 
Sec. 280.43(a). Tanks of greater than 2,000 gallons nominal capacity may 
not use this method to meet the requirements of this subpart.
    (c) Tank tightness testing. Tank tightness testing (or another test 
of equivalent performance) must be capable of detecting a 0.1 gallon per 
hour leak rate from any portion of the tank that routinely contains 
product while accounting for the effects of thermal expansion or 
contraction of the product, vapor pockets, tank deformation, evaporation 
or condensation, and the location of the water table.
    (d) Automatic tank gauging. Equipment for automatic tank gauging 
that tests for the loss of product and conducts inventory control must 
meet the following requirements:
    (1) The automatic product level monitor test can detect a 0.2 gallon 
per hour leak rate from any portion of the tank that routinely contains 
product; and
    (2) Inventory control (or another test of equivalent performance) is 
conducted in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 280.43(a).
    (e) Vapor monitoring. Testing or monitoring for vapors within the 
soil gas of the excavation zone must meet the following requirements:
    (1) The materials used as backfill are sufficiently porous (e.g., 
gravel, sand, crushed rock) to readily allow diffusion of vapors from 
releases into the excavation area;
    (2) The stored regulated substance, or a tracer compound placed in 
the tank system, is sufficiently volatile (e.g., gasoline) to result in 
a vapor level that is detectable by the monitoring devices located in 
the excavation zone in the event of a release from the tank;
    (3) The measurement of vapors by the monitoring device is not 
rendered inoperative by the ground water, rainfall, or soil moisture or 
other known interferences so that a release could go undetected for more 
than 30 days;
    (4) The level of background contamination in the excavation zone 
will not interfere with the method used to detect releases from the 
tank;
    (5) The vapor monitors are designed and operated to detect any 
significant increase in concentration above background of the regulated 
substance stored in the tank system, a component or components of that 
substance, or a tracer compound placed in the tank system;
    (6) In the UST excavation zone, the site is assessed to ensure 
compliance with the requirements in paragraphs (e) (1) through (4) of 
this section and to establish the number and positioning of monitoring 
wells that will detect releases within the excavation zone from any 
portion of the tank that routinely contains product; and
    (7) Monitoring wells are clearly marked and secured to avoid 
unauthorized access and tampering.
    (f) Ground-water monitoring. Testing or monitoring for liquids on 
the ground water must meet the following requirements:
    (1) The regulated substance stored is immiscible in water and has a 
specific gravity of less than one;
    (2) Ground water is never more than 20 feet from the ground surface 
and the hydraulic conductivity of the soil(s) between the UST system and 
the monitoring wells or devices is not less than 0.01 cm/sec (e.g., the 
soil should consist of gravels, coarse to medium sands, coarse silts or 
other permeable materials);
    (3) The slotted portion of the monitoring well casing must be 
designed to prevent migration of natural soils or filter pack into the 
well and to allow entry of regulated substance on the water table into 
the well under both high and low ground-water conditions;
    (4) Monitoring wells shall be sealed from the ground surface to the 
top of the filter pack;
    (5) Monitoring wells or devices intercept the excavation zone or are 
as close to it as is technically feasible;
    (6) The continuous monitoring devices or manual methods used can 
detect the presence of at least one-eighth of an inch of free product on 
top of the ground water in the monitoring wells;
    (7) Within and immediately below the UST system excavation zone, the 
site is assessed to ensure compliance with

[[Page 495]]

the requirements in paragraphs (f) (1) through (5) of this section and 
to establish the number and positioning of monitoring wells or devices 
that will detect releases from any portion of the tank that routinely 
contains product; and
    (8) Monitoring wells are clearly marked and secured to avoid 
unauthorized access and tampering.
    (g) Interstitial monitoring. Interstitial monitoring between the UST 
system and a secondary barrier immediately around or beneath it may be 
used, but only if the system is designed, constructed and installed to 
detect a leak from any portion of the tank that routinely contains 
product and also meets one of the following requirements:
    (1) For double-walled UST systems, the sampling or testing method 
can detect a release through the inner wall in any portion of the tank 
that routinely contains product;
    Note: The provisions outlined in the Steel Tank Institute's 
``Standard for Dual Wall Underground Storage Tanks'' may be used as 
guidance for aspects of the design and construction of underground steel 
double-walled tanks.
    (2) For UST systems with a secondary barrier within the excavation 
zone, the sampling or testing method used can detect a release between 
the UST system and the secondary barrier;
    (i) The secondary barrier around or beneath the UST system consists 
of artificially constructed material that is sufficiently thick and 
impermeable (at least 10-6 cm/sec for the regulated substance 
stored) to direct a release to the monitoring point and permit its 
detection;
    (ii) The barrier is compatible with the regulated substance stored 
so that a release from the UST system will not cause a deterioration of 
the barrier allowing a release to pass through undetected;
    (iii) For cathodically protected tanks, the secondary barrier must 
be installed so that it does not interfere with the proper operation of 
the cathodic protection system;
    (iv) The ground water, soil moisture, or rainfall will not render 
the testing or sampling method used inoperative so that a release could 
go undetected for more than 30 days;
    (v) The site is assessed to ensure that the secondary barrier is 
always above the ground water and not in a 25-year flood plain, unless 
the barrier and monitoring designs are for use under such conditions; 
and,
    (vi) Monitoring wells are clearly marked and secured to avoid 
unauthorized access and tampering.
    (3) For tanks with an internally fitted liner, an automated device 
can detect a release between the inner wall of the tank and the liner, 
and the liner is compatible with the substance stored.
    (h) Other methods. Any other type of release detection method, or 
combination of methods, can be used if:
    (1) It can detect a 0.2 gallon per hour leak rate or a release of 
150 gallons within a month with a probability of detection of 0.95 and a 
probability of false alarm of 0.05; or
    (2) The implementing agency may approve another method if the owner 
and operator can demonstrate that the method can detect a release as 
effectively as any of the methods allowed in paragraphs (c) through (h) 
of this section. In comparing methods, the implementing agency shall 
consider the size of release that the method can detect and the 
frequency and reliability with which it can be detected. If the method 
is approved, the owner and operator must comply with any conditions 
imposed by the implementing agency on its use to ensure the protection 
of human health and the environment.



Sec. 280.44  Methods of release detection for piping.

    Each method of release detection for piping used to meet the 
requirements of Sec. 280.41 must be conducted in accordance with the 
following:
    (a) Automatic line leak detectors. Methods which alert the operator 
to the presence of a leak by restricting or shutting off the flow of 
regulated substances through piping or triggering an audible or visual 
alarm may be used only if they detect leaks of 3 gallons per hour at 10 
pounds per square inch line pressure within 1 hour. An annual test of 
the operation of the leak detector must be conducted in accordance with 
the manufacturer's requirements.

[[Page 496]]

    (b) Line tightness testing. A periodic test of piping may be 
conducted only if it can detect a 0.1 gallon per hour leak rate at one 
and one-half times the operating pressure.
    (c) Applicable tank methods. Any of the methods in Sec. 280.43 (e) 
through (h) may be used if they are designed to detect a release from 
any portion of the underground piping that routinely contains regulated 
substances.



Sec. 280.45  Release detection recordkeeping.

    All UST system owners and operators must maintain records in 
accordance with Sec. 280.34 demonstrating compliance with all applicable 
requirements of this subpart. These records must include the following:
    (a) All written performance claims pertaining to any release 
detection system used, and the manner in which these claims have been 
justified or tested by the equipment manufacturer or installer, must be 
maintained for 5 years, or for another reasonable period of time 
determined by the implementing agency, from the date of installation;
    (b) The results of any sampling, testing, or monitoring must be 
maintained for at least 1 year, or for another reasonable period of time 
determined by the implementing agency, except that the results of tank 
tightness testing conducted in accordance with Sec. 280.43(c) must be 
retained until the next test is conducted; and
    (c) Written documentation of all calibration, maintenance, and 
repair of release detection equipment permanently located on-site must 
be maintained for at least one year after the servicing work is 
completed, or for another reasonable time period determined by the 
implementing agency. Any schedules of required calibration and 
maintenance provided by the release detection equipment manufacturer 
must be retained for 5 years from the date of installation.



      Subpart E--Release Reporting, Investigation, and Confirmation



Sec. 280.50  Reporting of suspected releases.

    Owners and operators of UST systems must report to the implementing 
agency within 24 hours, or another reasonable time period specified by 
the implementing agency, and follow the procedures in Sec. 280.52 for 
any of the following conditions:
    (a) The discovery by owners and operators or others of released 
regulated substances at the UST site or in the surrounding area (such as 
the presence of free product or vapors in soils, basements, sewer and 
utility lines, and nearby surface water).
    (b) Unusual operating conditions observed by owners and operators 
(such as the erratic behavior of product dispensing equipment, the 
sudden loss of product from the UST system, or an unexplained presence 
of water in the tank), unless system equipment is found to be defective 
but not leaking, and is immediately repaired or replaced; and,
    (c) Monitoring results from a release detection method required 
under Sec. 280.41 and Sec. 280.42 that indicate a release may have 
occurred unless:
    (1) The monitoring device is found to be defective, and is 
immediately repaired, recalibrated or replaced, and additional 
monitoring does not confirm the initial result; or
    (2) In the case of inventory control, a second month of data does 
not confirm the initial result.



Sec. 280.51  Investigation due to off-site impacts.

    When required by the implementing agency, owners and operators of 
UST systems must follow the procedures in Sec. 280.52 to determine if 
the UST system is the source of off-site impacts. These impacts include 
the discovery of regulated substances (such as the presence of free 
product or vapors in soils, basements, sewer and utility lines, and 
nearby surface and drinking waters)

[[Page 497]]

that has been observed by the implementing agency or brought to its 
attention by another party.



Sec. 280.52  Release investigation and confirmation steps.

    Unless corrective action is initiated in accordance with subpart F, 
owners and operators must immediately investigate and confirm all 
suspected releases of regulated substances requiring reporting under 
Sec. 280.50 within 7 days, or another reasonable time period specified 
by the implementing agency, using either the following steps or another 
procedure approved by the implementing agency:
    (a) System test. Owners and operators must conduct tests (according 
to the requirements for tightness testing in Sec. 280.43(c) and 
Sec. 280.44(b)) that determine whether a leak exists in that portion of 
the tank that routinely contains product, or the attached delivery 
piping, or both.
    (1) Owners and operators must repair, replace or upgrade the UST 
system, and begin corrective action in accordance with subpart F if the 
test results for the system, tank, or delivery piping indicate that a 
leak exists.
    (2) Further investigation is not required if the test results for 
the system, tank, and delivery piping do not indicate that a leak exists 
and if environmental contamination is not the basis for suspecting a 
release.
    (3) Owners and operators must conduct a site check as described in 
paragraph (b) of this section if the test results for the system, tank, 
and delivery piping do not indicate that a leak exists but environmental 
contamination is the basis for suspecting a release.
    (b) Site check. Owners and operators must measure for the presence 
of a release where contamination is most likely to be present at the UST 
site. In selecting sample types, sample locations, and measurement 
methods, owners and operators must consider the nature of the stored 
substance, the type of initial alarm or cause for suspicion, the type of 
backfill, the depth of ground water, and other factors appropriate for 
identifying the presence and source of the release.
    (1) If the test results for the excavation zone or the UST site 
indicate that a release has occurred, owners and operators must begin 
corrective action in accordance with subpart F;
    (2) If the test results for the excavation zone or the UST site do 
not indicate that a release has occurred, further investigation is not 
required.



Sec. 280.53  Reporting and cleanup of spills and overfills.

    (a) Owners and operators of UST systems must contain and immediately 
clean up a spill or overfill and report to the implementing agency 
within 24 hours, or another reasonable time period specified by the 
implementing agency, and begin corrective action in accordance with 
subpart F in the following cases:
    (1) Spill or overfill of petroleum that results in a release to the 
environment that exceeds 25 gallons or another reasonable amount 
specified by the implementing agency, or that causes a sheen on nearby 
surface water; and
    (2) Spill or overfill of a hazardous substance that results in a 
release to the environment that equals or exceeds its reportable 
quantity under CERCLA (40 CFR part 302).
    (b) Owners and operators of UST systems must contain and immediately 
clean up a spill or overfill of petroleum that is less than 25 gallons 
or another reasonable amount specified by the implementing agency, and a 
spill or overfill of a hazardous substance that is less than the 
reportable quantity. If cleanup cannot be accomplished within 24 hours, 
or another reasonable time period established by the implementing 
agency, owners and operators must immediately notify the implementing 
agency.
    Note: Pursuant to Secs. 302.6 and 355.40, a release of a hazardous 
substance equal to or in excess of its reportable quantity must also be 
reported immediately (rather than within 24 hours) to the National 
Response Center under sections 102 and 103 of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 and to 
appropriate state and local authorities under Title III of the Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986.

   Subpart F--Release Response and Corrective Action for UST Systems 
              Containing Petroleum or Hazardous Substances



Sec. 280.60  General.

    Owners and operators of petroleum or hazardous substance UST systems 
must, in response to a confirmed release from the UST system, comply 
with the requirements of this subpart except for USTs excluded under 
Sec. 280.10(b) and UST systems subject to RCRA Subtitle C corrective 
action requirements under section 3004(u) of the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act, as amended.



Sec. 280.61  Initial response.

    Upon confirmation of a release in accordance with Sec. 280.52 or 
after a release from the UST system is identified in any other manner, 
owners and operators must perform the following initial response actions 
within 24 hours of a release or within another reasonable period of time 
determined by the implementing agency:
    (a) Report the release to the implementing agency (e.g., by 
telephone or electronic mail);
    (b) Take immediate action to prevent any further release of the 
regulated substance into the environment; and
    (c) Identify and mitigate fire, explosion, and vapor hazards.



Sec. 280.62  Initial abatement measures and site check.

    (a) Unless directed to do otherwise by the implementing agency, 
owners and operators must perform the following abatement measures:
    (1) Remove as much of the regulated substance from the UST system as 
is necessary to prevent further release to the environment;
    (2) Visually inspect any aboveground releases or exposed belowground 
releases and prevent further migration of the released substance into 
surrounding soils and ground water;
    (3) Continue to monitor and mitigate any additional fire and safety 
hazards posed by vapors or free product that have migrated from the UST 
excavation zone and entered into subsurface structures (such as sewers 
or basements);
    (4) Remedy hazards posed by contaminated soils that are excavated or 
exposed as a result of release confirmation, site investigation, 
abatement, or corrective action activities. If these remedies include 
treatment or disposal of soils, the owner and operator must comply with 
applicable State and local requirements;
    (5) Measure for the presence of a release where contamination is 
most likely to be present at the UST site, unless the presence and 
source of the release have been confirmed in accordance with the site 
check required by Sec. 280.52(b) or the closure site assessment of 
Sec. 280.72(a). In selecting sample types, sample locations, and 
measurement methods, the owner and operator must consider the nature of 
the stored substance, the type of backfill, depth to ground water and 
other factors as appropriate for identifying the presence and source of 
the release; and
    (6) Investigate to determine the possible presence of free product, 
and begin free product removal as soon as practicable and in accordance 
with Sec. 280.64.
    (b) Within 20 days after release confirmation, or within another 
reasonable period of time determined by the implementing agency, owners 
and operators must submit a report to the implementing agency 
summarizing the initial abatement steps taken under paragraph (a) of 
this section and any resulting information or data.



Sec. 280.63  Initial site characterization.

    (a) Unless directed to do otherwise by the implementing agency, 
owners and operators must assemble information about the site and the 
nature of the release, including information gained while confirming the 
release or completing the initial abatement measures in Secs. 280.60 and 
280.61. This information must include, but is not necessarily limited to 
the following:
    (1) Data on the nature and estimated quantity of release;
    (2) Data from available sources   and/or site investigations 
concerning the

[[Page 499]]

following factors: surrounding populations, water quality, use and 
approximate locations of wells potentially affected by the release, 
subsurface soil conditions, locations of subsurface sewers, 
climatological conditions, and land use;
    (3) Results of the site check required under Sec. 280.62(a)(5); and
    (4) Results of the free product investigations required under 
Sec. 280.62(a)(6), to be used by owners and operators to determine 
whether free product must be recovered under Sec. 280.64.
    (b) Within 45 days of release confirmation or another reasonable 
period of time determined by the implementing agency, owners and 
operators must submit the information collected in compliance with 
paragraph (a) of this section to the implementing agency in a manner 
that demonstrates its applicability and technical adequacy, or in a 
format and according to the schedule required by the implementing 
agency.



Sec. 280.64  Free product removal.

    At sites where investigations under Sec. 280.62(a)(6) indicate the 
presence of free product, owners and operators must remove free product 
to the maximum extent practicable as determined by the implementing 
agency while continuing, as necessary, any actions initiated under 
Secs. 280.61 through 280.63, or preparing for actions required under 
Secs. 280.65 through 280.66. In meeting the requirements of this 
section, owners and operators must:
    (a) Conduct free product removal in a manner that minimizes the 
spread of contamination into previously uncontaminated zones by using 
recovery and disposal techniques appropriate to the hydrogeologic 
conditions at the site, and that properly treats, discharges or disposes 
of recovery byproducts in compliance with applicable local, State and 
Federal regulations;
    (b) Use abatement of free product migration as a minimum objective 
for the design of the free product removal system;
    (c) Handle any flammable products in a safe and competent manner to 
prevent fires or explosions; and
    (d) Unless directed to do otherwise by the implementing agency, 
prepare and submit to the implementing agency, within 45 days after 
confirming a release, a free product removal report that provides at 
least the following information:
    (1) The name of the person(s) responsible for implementing the free 
product removal measures;
    (2) The estimated quantity, type, and thickness of free product 
observed or measured in wells, boreholes, and excavations;
    (3) The type of free product recovery system used;
    (4) Whether any discharge will take place on-site or off-site during 
the recovery operation and where this discharge will be located;
    (5) The type of treatment applied to, and the effluent quality 
expected from, any discharge;
    (6) The steps that have been or are being taken to obtain necessary 
permits for any discharge; and
    (7) The disposition of the recovered free product.



Sec. 280.65  Investigations for soil and ground-water cleanup.

    (a) In order to determine the full extent and location of soils 
contaminated by the release and the presence and concentrations of 
dissolved product contamination in the ground water, owners and 
operators must conduct investigations of the release, the release site, 
and the surrounding area possibly affected by the release if any of the 
following conditions exist:
    (1) There is evidence that ground-water wells have been affected by 
the release (e.g., as found during release confirmation or previous 
corrective action measures);
    (2) Free product is found to need recovery in compliance with 
Sec. 280.64;
    (3) There is evidence that contaminated soils may be in contact with 
ground water (e.g., as found during conduct of the initial response 
measures or investigations required under Secs. 280.60 through 280.64); 
and
    (4) The implementing agency requests an investigation, based on the 
potential effects of contaminated soil or ground water on nearby surface 
water and ground-water resources.
    (b) Owners and operators must submit the information collected under

[[Page 500]]

paragraph (a) of this section as soon as practicable or in accordance 
with a schedule established by the implementing agency.



Sec. 280.66  Corrective action plan.

    (a) At any point after reviewing the information submitted in 
compliance with Secs. 280.61 through 280.63, the implementing agency may 
require owners and operators to submit additional information or to 
develop and submit a corrective action plan for responding to 
contaminated soils and ground water. If a plan is required, owners and 
operators must submit the plan according to a schedule and format 
established by the implementing agency. Alternatively, owners and 
operators may, after fulfilling the requirements of Secs. 280.61 through 
280.63, choose to submit a corrective action plan for responding to 
contaminated soil and ground water. In either case, owners and operators 
are responsible for submitting a plan that provides for adequate 
protection of human health and the environment as determined by the 
implementing agency, and must modify their plan as necessary to meet 
this standard.
    (b) The implementing agency will approve the corrective action plan 
only after ensuring that implementation of the plan will adequately 
protect human health, safety, and the environment. In making this 
determination, the implementing agency should consider the following 
factors as appropriate:
    (1) The physical and chemical characteristics of the regulated 
substance, including its toxicity, persistence, and potential for 
migration;
    (2) The hydrogeologic characteristics of the facility and the 
surrounding area;
    (3) The proximity, quality, and current and future uses of nearby 
surface water and ground water;
    (4) The potential effects of residual contamination on nearby 
surface water and ground water;
    (5) An exposure assessment; and
    (6) Any information assembled in compliance with this subpart.
    (c) Upon approval of the corrective action plan or as directed by 
the implementing agency, owners and operators must implement the plan, 
including modifications to the plan made by the implementing agency. 
They must monitor, evaluate, and report the results of implementing the 
plan in accordance with a schedule and in a format established by the 
implementing agency.
    (d) Owners and operators may, in the interest of minimizing 
environmental contamination and promoting more effective cleanup, begin 
cleanup of soil and ground water before the corrective action plan is 
approved provided that they:
    (1) Notify the implementing agency of their intention to begin 
cleanup;
    (2) Comply with any conditions imposed by the implementing agency, 
including halting cleanup or mitigating adverse consequences from 
cleanup activities; and
    (3) Incorporate these self-initiated cleanup measures in the 
corrective action plan that is submitted to the implementing agency for 
approval.



Sec. 280.67  Public participation.

    (a) For each confirmed release that requires a corrective action 
plan, the implementing agency must provide notice to the public by means 
designed to reach those members of the public directly affected by the 
release and the planned corrective action. This notice may include, but 
is not limited to, public notice in local newspapers, block 
advertisements, public service announcements, publication in a state 
register, letters to individual households, or personal contacts by 
field staff.
    (b) The implementing agency must ensure that site release 
information and decisions concerning the corrective action plan are made 
available to the public for inspection upon request.
    (c) Before approving a corrective action plan, the implementing 
agency may hold a public meeting to consider comments on the proposed 
corrective action plan if there is sufficient public interest, or for 
any other reason.
    (d) The implementing agency must give public notice that complies 
with paragraph (a) of this section if implementation of an approved 
corrective action plan does not achieve the established cleanup levels 
in the plan and

[[Page 501]]

termination of that plan is under consideration by the implementing 
agency.



            Subpart G--Out-of-Service UST Systems and Closure



Sec. 280.70  Temporary closure.

    (a) When an UST system is temporarily closed, owners and operators 
must continue operation and maintenance of corrosion protection in 
accordance with Sec. 280.31, and any release detection in accordance 
with subpart D. Subparts E and F must be complied with if a release is 
suspected or confirmed. However, release detection is not required as 
long as the UST system is empty. The UST system is empty when all 
materials have been removed using commonly employed practices so that no 
more than 2.5 centimeters (one inch) of residue, or 0.3 percent by 
weight of the total capacity of the UST system, remain in the system.
    (b) When an UST system is temporarily closed for 3 months or more, 
owners and operators must also comply with the following requirements:
    (1) Leave vent lines open and functioning; and
    (2) Cap and secure all other lines, pumps, manways, and ancillary 
equipment.
    (c) When an UST system is temporarily closed for more than 12 
months, owners and operators must permanently close the UST system if it 
does not meet either performance standards in Sec. 280.20 for new UST 
systems or the upgrading requirements in Sec. 280.21, except that the 
spill and overfill equipment requirements do not have to be met. Owners 
and operators must permanently close the substandard UST systems at the 
end of this 12-month period in accordance with Secs. 280.71-280.74, 
unless the implementing agency provides an extension of the 12-month 
temporary closure period. Owners and operators must complete a site 
assessment in accordance with Sec. 280.72 before such an extension can 
be applied for.



Sec. 280.71  Permanent closure and changes-in-service.

    (a) At least 30 days before beginning either permanent closure or a 
change-in-service under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, or 
within another reasonable time period determined by the implementing 
agency, owners and operators must notify the implementing agency of 
their intent to permanently close or make the change-in-service, unless 
such action is in response to corrective action. The required assessment 
of the excavation zone under Sec. 280.72 must be performed after 
notifying the implementing agency but before completion of the permanent 
closure or a change-in-service.
    (b) To permanently close a tank, owners and operators must empty and 
clean it by removing all liquids and accumulated sludges. All tanks 
taken out of service permanently must also be either removed from the 
ground or filled with an inert solid material.
    (c) Continued use of an UST system to store a non-regulated 
substance is considered a change-in-service. Before a change-in-service, 
owners and operators must empty and clean the tank by removing all 
liquid and accumulated sludge and conduct a site assessment in 
accordance with Sec. 280.72.
    Note: The following cleaning and closure procedures may be used to 
comply with this section:
    (A) American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 1604, 
``Removal and Disposal of Used Underground Petroleum Storage Tanks'';
    (B) American Petroleum Institute Publication 2015, ``Cleaning 
Petroleum Storage Tanks'';
    (C) American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 1631, 
``Interior Lining of Underground Storage Tanks,'' may be used as 
guidance for compliance with this section; and
    (D) The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 
``Criteria for a Recommended Standard * * * Working in Confined Space'' 
may be used as guidance for conducting safe closure procedures at some 
hazardous substance tanks.



Sec. 280.72  Assessing the site at closure or change-in-service.

    (a) Before permanent closure or a change-in-service is completed, 
owners and operators must measure for the presence of a release where 
contamination is most likely to be present at the UST site. In selecting 
sample types, sample locations, and measurement methods, owners and 
operators must

[[Page 502]]

consider the method of closure, the nature of the stored substance, the 
type of backfill, the depth to ground water, and other factors 
appropriate for identifying the presence of a release. The requirements 
of this section are satisfied if one of the external release detection 
methods allowed in Sec. 280.43 (e) and (f) is operating in accordance 
with the requirements in Sec. 280.43 at the time of closure, and 
indicates no release has occurred.
    (b) If contaminated soils, contaminated ground water, or free 
product as a liquid or vapor is discovered under paragraph (a) of this 
section, or by any other manner, owners and operators must begin 
corrective action in accordance with subpart F.



Sec. 280.73  Applicability to previously closed UST systems.

    When directed by the implementing agency, the owner and operator of 
an UST system permanently closed before December 22, 1988 must assess 
the excavation zone and close the UST system in accordance with this 
subpart if releases from the UST may, in the judgment of the 
implementing agency, pose a current or potential threat to human health 
and the environment.



Sec. 280.74  Closure records.

    Owners and operators must maintain records in accordance with 
Sec. 280.34 that are capable of demonstrating compliance with closure 
requirements under this subpart. The results of the excavation zone 
assessment required in Sec. 280.72 must be maintained for at least 3 
years after completion of permanent closure or change-in-service in one 
of the following ways:
    (a) By the owners and operators who took the UST system out of 
service;
    (b) By the current owners and operators of the UST system site; or
    (c) By mailing these records to the implementing agency if they 
cannot be maintained at the closed facility.



                   Subpart H--Financial Responsibility

    Source: 53 FR 43370, Oct. 26, 1988, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 280.90  Applicability.

    (a) This subpart applies to owners and operators of all petroleum 
underground storage tank (UST) systems except as otherwise provided in 
this section.
    (b) Owners and operators of petroleum UST systems are subject to 
these requirements if they are in operation on or after the date for 
compliance established in Sec. 280.91.
    (c) State and Federal government entities whose debts and 
liabilities are the debts and liabilities of a state or the United 
States are exempt from the requirements of this subpart.
    (d) The requirements of this subpart do not apply to owners and 
operators of any UST system described in Sec. 280.10 (b) or (c).
    (e) If the owner and operator of a petroleum underground storage 
tank are separate persons, only one person is required to demonstrate 
financial responsibility; however, both parties are liable in event of 
noncompliance. Regardless of which party complies, the date set for 
compliance at a particular facility is determined by the characteristics 
of the owner as set forth in Sec. 280.91.



Sec. 280.91  Compliance dates.

    Owners of petroleum underground storage tanks are required to comply 
with the requirements of this subpart by the following dates:
    (a) All petroleum marketing firms owning 1,000 or more USTs and all 
other UST owners that report a tangible net worth of $20 million or more 
to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Dun and 
Bradstreet, the Energy Information Administration, or the Rural 
Electrification Administration; January 24, 1989, except that compliance 
with Sec. 280.94(b) is required by: July 24, 1989.
    (b) All petroleum marketing firms owning 100-999 USTs; October 26,

applicable technical requirements of this part; December 31, 1998.

[53 FR 43370, Oct. 26, 1988, as amended at 54 FR 5452, Feb. 3, 1989; 55 
FR 18567, May 2, 1990; 55 FR 46025, Oct. 31, 1990; 56 FR 66373, Dec. 23, 
1991; 59 FR 9607, Feb. 28, 1994]



Sec. 280.92  Definition of terms.

    When used in this subpart, the following terms shall have the 
meanings given below:
    Accidental release means any sudden or nonsudden release of 
petroleum from an underground storage tank that results in a need for 
corrective action and/or compensation for bodily injury or property 
damage neither expected nor intended by the tank owner or operator.
    Bodily injury shall have the meaning given to this term by 
applicable state law; however, this term shall not include those 
liabilities which, consistent with standard insurance industry 
practices, are excluded from coverage in liability insurance policies 
for bodily injury.
    Chief Financial Officer, in the case of local government owners and 
operators, means the individual with the overall authority and 
responsibility for the collection, disbursement, and use of funds by the 
local government.
    Controlling interest means direct ownership of at least 50 percent 
of the voting stock of another entity.
    Director of the Implementing Agency means the EPA Regional 
Administrator, or, in the case of a state with a program approved under 
section 9004, the Director of the designated state or local agency 
responsible for carrying out an approved UST program.
    Financial reporting year means the latest consecutive twelve-month 
period for which any of the following reports used to support a 
financial test is prepared:
    (1) a 10-K report submitted to the SEC;
    (2) an annual report of tangible net worth submitted to Dun and 
Bradstreet; or
    (3) annual reports submitted to the Energy Information 
Administration or the Rural Electrification Administration.

``Financial reporting year'' may thus comprise a fiscal or a calendar 
year period.
    Legal defense cost is any expense that an owner or operator or 
provider of financial assurance incurs in defending against claims or 
actions brought,
    (1) By EPA or a state to require corrective action or to recover the 
costs of corrective action;
    (2) By or on behalf of a third party for bodily injury or property 
damage caused by an accidental release; or
    (3) By any person to enforce the terms of a financial assurance 
mechanism.
    Local government shall have the meaning given this term by 
applicable state law and includes Indian tribes. The term is generally 
intended to include: (1) Counties, municipalities, townships, separately 
chartered and operated special districts (including local government 
public transit systems and redevelopment authorities), and independent 
school districts authorized as governmental bodies by state charter or 
constitution; and (2) Special districts and independent school districts 
established by counties, municipalities, townships, and other general 
purpose governments to provide essential services.
    Occurrence means an accident, including continuous or repeated 
exposure to conditions, which results in a release from an underground 
storage tank.
    Note: This definition is intended to assist in the understanding of 
these regulations and is not intended either to limit the meaning of 
``occurrence'' in a way that conflicts with standard insurance usage or 
to prevent the use of other standard insurance terms in place of 
``occurrence.''
    Owner or operator, when the owner or operator are separate parties, 
refers to the party that is obtaining or has obtained financial 
assurances.
    Petroleum marketing facilities include all facilities at which 
petroleum is produced or refined and all facilities from which petroleum 
is sold or transferred to other petroleum marketers or to the public.
    Petroleum marketing firms are all firms owning petroleum marketing 
facilities. Firms owning other types of facilities

[[Page 504]]

with USTs as well as petroleum marketing facilities are considered to be 
petroleum marketing firms.
    Property damage shall have the meaning given this term by applicable 
state law. This term shall not include those liabilities which, 
consistent with standard insurance industry practices, are excluded from 
coverage in liability insurance policies for property damage. However, 
such exclusions for property damage shall not include corrective action 
associated with releases from tanks which are covered by the policy.
    Provider of financial assurance means an entity that provides 
financial assurance to an owner or operator of an underground storage 
tank through one of the mechanisms listed in Secs. 280.95-280.103, 
including a guarantor, insurer, risk retention group, surety, issuer of 
a letter of credit, issuer of a state-required mechanism, or a state.
    Substantial business relationship means the extent of a business 
relationship necessary under applicable state law to make a guarantee 
contract issued incident to that relationship valid and enforceable. A 
guarantee contract is issued ``incident to that relationship'' if it 
arises from and depends on existing economic transactions between the 
guarantor and the owner or operator.
    Substantial governmental relationship means the extent of a 
governmental relationship necessary under applicable state law to make 
an added guarantee contract issued incident to that relationship valid 
and enforceable. A guarantee contract is issued ``incident to that 
relationship'' if it arises from a clear commonality of interest in the 
event of an UST release such as coterminous boundaries, overlapping 
constituencies, common ground-water aquifer, or other relationship other 
than monetary compensation that provides a motivation for the guarantor 
to provide a guarantee.
    Tangible net worth means the tangible assets that remain after 
deducting liabilities; such assets do not include intangibles such as 
goodwill and rights to patents or royalties. For purposes of this 
definition, ``assets'' means all existing and all probable future 
economic benefits obtained or controlled by a particular entity as a 
result of past transactions.
    Termination under Sec. 280.97(b)(1) and Sec. 280.97(b)(2) means only 
those changes that could result in a gap in coverage as where the 
insured has not obtained substitute coverage or has obtained substitute 
coverage with a different retroactive date than the retroactive date of 
the original policy.

[53 FR 43370, Oct. 26, 1988, as amended at 54 FR 47081, Nov. 9, 1989; 58 
FR 9050, Feb. 18, 1993]



Sec. 280.93  Amount and scope of required financial responsibility.

    (a) Owners or operators of petroleum underground storage tanks must 
demonstrate financial responsibility for taking corrective action and 
for compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage 
caused by accidental releases arising from the operation of petroleum 
underground storage tanks in at least the following per-occurrence 
amounts:
    (1) For owners or operators of petroleum underground storage tanks 
that are located at petroleum marketing facilities, or that handle an 
average of more than 10,000 gallons of petroleum per month based on 
annual throughput for the previous calendar year; $1 million.
    (2) For all other owners or operators of petroleum underground 
storage tanks; $500,000.
    (b) Owners or operators of petroleum underground storage tanks must 
demonstrate financial responsibility for taking corrective action and 
for compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage 
caused by accidental releases arising from the operation of petroleum 
underground storage tanks in at least the following annual aggregate 
amounts:
    (1) For owners or operators of 1 to 100 petroleum underground 
storage tanks, $1 million; and
    (2) For owners or operators of 101 or more petroleum underground 
storage tanks, $2 million.
    (c) For the purposes of paragraphs (b) and (f) of this section, 
only, ``a petroleum underground storage tank'' means a single 
containment unit and does not mean combinations of single containment 
units.

[[Page 505]]

    (d) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, if the 
owner or operator uses separate mechanisms or separate combinations of 
mechanisms to demonstrate financial responsibility for:
    (1) Taking corrective action;
    (2) Compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage 
caused by sudden accidental releases; or
    (3) Compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage 
caused by nonsudden accidental releases, the amount of assurance 
provided by each mechanism or combination of mechanisms must be in the 
full amount specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section.
    (e) If an owner or operator uses separate mechanisms or separate 
combinations of mechanisms to demonstrate financial responsibility for 
different petroleum underground storage tanks, the annual aggregate 
required shall be based on the number of tanks covered by each such 
separate mechanism or combination of mechanisms.
    (f) Owners or operators shall review the amount of aggregate 
assurance provided whenever additional petroleum underground storage 
tanks are acquired or installed. If the number of petroleum underground 
storage tanks for which assurance must be provided exceeds 100, the 
owner or operator shall demonstrate financial responsibility in the 
amount of at least $2 million of annual aggregate assurance by the 
anniversary of the date on which the mechanism demonstrating financial 
responsibility became effective. If assurance is being demonstrated by a 
combination of mechanisms, the owner or operator shall demonstrate 
financial responsibility in the amount of at least $2 million of annual 
aggregate assurance by the first-occurring effective date anniversary of 
any one of the mechanisms combined (other than a financial test or 
guarantee) to provide assurance.
    (g) The amounts of assurance required under this section exclude 
legal defense costs.
    (h) The required per-occurrence and annual aggregate coverage 
amounts do not in any way limit the liability of the owner or operator.



Sec. 280.94  Allowable mechanisms and combinations of mechanisms.

    (a) Subject to the limitations of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this 
section,
    (1) An owner or operator, including a local government owner or 
operator, may use any one or combination of the mechanisms listed in 
Secs. 280.95 through 280.103 to demonstrate financial responsibility 
under this subpart for one or more underground storage tanks, and
    (2) A local government owner or operator may use any one or 
combination of the mechanisms listed in Secs. 280.104 through 280.107 to 
demonstrate financial responsibility under this subpart for one or more 
underground storage tanks.
    (b) An owner or operator may use a guarantee under Sec. 280.96 or 
surety bond under Sec. 280.98 to establish financial responsibility only 
if the Attorney(s) General of the state(s) in which the underground 
storage tanks are located has (have) submitted a written statement to 
the implementing agency that a guarantee or surety bond executed as 
described in this section is a legally valid and enforceable obligation 
in that state.
    (c) An owner or operator may use self-insurance in combination with 
a guarantee only if, for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the 
financial test under this rule, the financial statements of the owner or 
operator are not consolidated with the financial statements of the 
guarantor.

    [Date]

    (e) If an owner or operator using the test to provide financial 
assurance finds that he or she no longer meets the requirements of the 
financial test based on the year-end financial statements, the owner or 
operator must obtain alternative coverage within 150 days of the end of 
the year for which financial statements have been prepared.
    (f) The Director of the implementing agency may require reports of 
financial condition at any time from the owner or operator, and/or 
guarantor. If the Director finds, on the basis of such reports or other 
information, that the owner or operator, and/or guarantor, no longer 
meets the financial test requirements of Sec. 280.95(b) or (c) and (d), 
the owner or operator must obtain alternate coverage within 30 days 
after notification of such a finding.
    (g) If the owner or operator fails to obtain alternate assurance 
within 150 days of finding that he or she no longer meets the 
requirements of the financial test based on the year-end financial 
statements, or within 30 days of notification by the Director of the 
implementing agency that he or she no longer meets the requirements of 
the financial test, the owner or operator must notify the Director of 
such failure within 10 days.



Sec. 280.96  Guarantee.

    (a) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of Sec. 280.93 
by obtaining a guarantee that conforms to the requirements of this 
section. The guarantor must be:
    (1) A firm that (i) possesses a controlling interest in the owner or 
operator; (ii) possesses a controlling interest in a firm described 
under paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section; or, (iii) is controlled 
through stock ownership by a common

[[Page 509]]

parent firm that possesses a controlling interest in the owner or 
operator; or,
    (2) A firm engaged in a substantial business relationship with the 
owner or operator and issuing the guarantee as an act incident to that 
business relationship.
    (b) Within 120 days of the close of each financial reporting year 
the guarantor must demonstrate that it meets the financial test criteria 
of Sec. 280.95 based on year-end financial statements for the latest 
completed financial reporting year by completing the letter from the 
chief financial officer described in Sec. 280.95(d) and must deliver the 
letter to the owner or operator. If the guarantor fails to meet the 
requirements of the financial test at the end of any financial reporting 
year, within 120 days of the end of that financial reporting year the 
guarantor shall send by certified mail, before cancellation or 
nonrenewal of the guarantee, notice to the owner or operator. If the 
Director of the implementing agency notifies the guarantor that he no 
longer meets the requirements of the financial test of Sec. 280.95 (b) 
or (c) and (d), the guarantor must notify the owner or operator within 
10 days of receiving such notification from the Director. In both cases, 
the guarantee will terminate no less than 120 days after the date the 
owner or operator receives the notification, as evidenced by the return 
receipt. The owner or operator must obtain alternative coverage as 
specified in Sec. 280.110(c).
    (c) The guarantee must be worded as follows, except that 
instructions in brackets are to be replaced with the relevant 
information and the brackets deleted:

                                Guarantee

    Guarantee made this [date] by [name of guaranteeing entity], a 
business entity organized under the laws of the state of [name of 
state], herein referred to as guarantor, to [the state implementing 
agency] and to any and all third parties, and obligees, on behalf of 
[owner or operator] of [business address].

                                Recitals.

    (1) Guarantor meets or exceeds the financial test criteria of 40 CFR 
280.95 (b) or (c) and (d) and agrees to comply with the requirements for 
guarantors as specified in 40 CFR 280.96(b).
    (2) [Owner or operator] owns or operates the following underground 
storage tank(s) covered by this guarantee: [List the number of tanks at 
each facility and the name(s) and address(es) of the facility(ies) where 
the tanks are located. If more than one instrument is used to assure 
different tanks at any one facility, for each tank covered by this 
instrument, list the tank identification number provided in the 
notification submitted pursuant to 40 CFR 280.22 or the corresponding 
state requirement, and the name and address of the facility.] This 
guarantee satisfies 40 CFR part 280, subpart H requirements for assuring 
funding for [insert: ``taking corrective action'' and/or ``compensating 
third parties for bodily injury and property damage caused by'' either 
``sudden accidental releases'' or ``nonsudden accidental releases'' or 
``accidental releases''; if coverage is different for different tanks or 
locations, indicate the type of coverage applicable to each tank or 
location] arising from operating the above-identified underground 
storage tank(s) in the amount of [insert dollar amount] per occurrence 
and [insert dollar amount] annual aggregate.
    (3) [Insert appropriate phrase: ``On behalf of our subsidiary'' (if 
guarantor is corporate parent of the owner or operator); ``On behalf of 
our affiliate'' (if guarantor is a related firm of the owner or 
operator); or ``Incident to our business relationship with'' (if 
guarantor is providing the guarantee as an incident to a substantial 
business relationship with owner or operator)] [owner or operator], 
guarantor guarantees to [implementing agency] and to any and all third 
parties that:
    In the event that [owner or operator] fails to provide alternative 
coverage within 60 days after receipt of a notice of cancellation of 
this guarantee and the [Director of the implementing agency] has 
determined or suspects that a release has occurred at an underground 
storage tank covered by this guarantee, the guarantor, upon instructions 
from the [Director], shall fund a standby trust fund in accordance with 
the provisions of 40 CFR 280.108, in an amount not to exceed the 
coverage limits specified above.
    In the event that the [Director] determines that [owner or operator] 
has failed to perform corrective action for releases arising out of the 
operation of the above-identified tank(s) in accordance with 40 CFR part 
280, subpart F, the guarantor upon written instructions from the 
[Director] shall fund a standby trust in accordance with the provisions 
of 40 CFR 280.108, in an amount not to exceed the coverage limits 
specified above.
    If [owner or operator] fails to satisfy a judgment or award based on 
a determination of liability for bodily injury or property damage to 
third parties caused by [``sudden'' and/or ``nonsudden''] accidential 
releases arising from the operation of the above-identified tank(s), or 
fails to pay an amount

[[Page 510]]

agreed to in settlement of a claim arising from or alleged to arise from 
such injury or damage, the guarantor, upon written instructions from the 
[Director], shall fund a standby trust in accordance with the provisions 
of 40 CFR 280.108 to satisfy such judgment(s), award(s), or settlement 
agreement(s) up to the limits of coverage specified above.
    (4) Guarantor agrees that if, at the end of any fiscal year before 
cancellation of this guarantee, the guarantor fails to meet the 
financial test criteria of 40 CFR 280.95 (b) or (c) and (d), guarantor 
shall send within 120 days of such failure, by certified mail, notice to 
[owner or operator]. The guarantee will terminate 120 days from the date 
of receipt of the notice by [owner or operator], as evidenced by the 
return receipt.
    (5) Guarantor agrees to notify [owner or operator] by certified mail 
of a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under Title 11 (Bankruptcy), 
U.S. Code naming guarantor as debtor, within 10 days after commencement 
of the proceeding.
    (6) Guarantor agrees to remain bound under this guarantee 
notwithstanding any modification or alteration of any obligation of 
[owner or operator] pursuant to 40 CFR part 280.
    (7) Guarantor agrees to remain bound under this guarantee for so 
long as [owner or operator] must comply with the applicable financial 
responsibility requirements of 40 CFR part 280, subpart H for the above-
identified tank(s), except that guarantor may cancel this guarantee by 
sending notice by certified mail to [owner or operator], such 
cancellation to become effective no earlier than 120 days after receipt 
of such notice by [owner or operator], as evidenced by the return 
receipt.
    (8) The guarantor's obligation does not apply to any of the 
following:
    (a) Any obligation of [insert owner or operator] under a workers' 
compensation, disability benefits, or unemployment compensation law or 
other similar law;
    (b) Bodily injury to an employee of [insert owner or operator] 
arising from, and in the course of, employment by [insert owner or 
operator];
    (c) Bodily injury or property damage arising from the ownership, 
maintenance, use, or entrustment to others of any aircraft, motor 
vehicle, or watercraft;
    (d) Property damage to any property owned, rented, loaded to, in the 
care, custody, or control of, or occupied by [insert owner or operator] 
that is not the direct result of a release from a petroleum underground 
storage tank;
    (e) Bodily damage or property damage for which [insert owner or 
operator] is obligated to pay damages by reason of the assumption of 
liability in a contract or agreement other than a contract or agreement 
entered into to meet the requirements of 40 CFR 280.93.
    (9) Guarantor expressly waives notice of acceptance of this 
guarantee by [the implementing agency], by any or all third parties, or 
by [owner or operator].
    I hereby certify that the wording of this guarantee is identical to 
the wording specified in 40 CFR 280.96(c) as such regulations were 
constituted on the effective date shown immediately below.

    (d) An owner or operator who uses a guarantee to satisfy the 
requirements of Sec. 280.93 must establish a standby trust fund when the 
guarantee is obtained. Under the terms of the guarantee, all amounts 
paid by the guarantor under the guarantee will be deposited directly 
into the standby trust fund in accordance with instructions from the 
Director of the implementing agency under Sec. 280.108. This standby 
trust fund must meet the requirements specified in Sec. 280.103.



Sec. 280.97  Insurance and risk retention group coverage.

    (a) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of Sec. 290.93 
by obtaining liability insurance that conforms to the requirements of 
this section from a qualified insurer or risk retention group. Such 
insurance may be in the form of a separate insurance policy or an

_______________________________________________________________________
Scope of Coverage: [List the number of tanks at each facility and the 
name(s) and address(es) of the facility(ies) where the tanks are

at any one facility, for each tank covered by this instrument, list the 
tank identification number provided in the notification submitted 
pursuant to 40 CFR 280.22, or the corresponding state requirement, and 
the name and address of the facility. List the coverage guaranteed by

tank''].

Penal sums of bond:
Per occurrence $________________________________________________________
Annual aggregate $______________________________________________________
Surety's bond number:___________________________________________________

    Know All Persons by These Presents, that we, the Principal and 
Surety(ies), hereto are firmly bound to [the implementing agency], in 
the above penal sums for the payment of which we bind ourselves, our 
heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns jointly and 
severally; provided that, where the Surety(ies) are corporations acting 
as co-sureties, we, the Sureties, bind ourselves in such sums jointly 
and severally only for the purpose of allowing a joint action or actions 
against any or all of us, and for all other purposes each Surety binds 
itself, jointly and severally with the Principal, for the payment of 
such sums only as is set forth opposite the name of such Surety, but if 
no limit of liability is indicated, the limit of liability shall be the 
full amount of the penal sums.
    Whereas said Principal is required under Subtitle I of the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, to provide financial 
assurance for [insert: ``taking corrective action'' and/or 
``compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage 
caused by'' either ``sudden accidental releases'' or ``nonsudden 
accidental releases'' or ``accidental releases''; if coverage is 
different for different tanks or locations, indicate the type of 
coverage applicable to each tank or location] arising from operating the 
underground storage tanks identified above, and
    Whereas said Principal shall establish a standby trust fund as is 
required when a surety bond is used to provide such financial assurance;
    Now, therefore, the conditions of the obligation are such that if 
the Principal shall faithfully [``take corrective action, in accordance 
with 40 CFR part 280, subpart F and the Director of the state 
implementing agency's instructions for,'' and/or ``compensate injured 
third parties for bodily injury and property damage caused by'' either 
``sudden'' or ``nonsudden'' or ``sudden and nonsudden''] accidental 
releases arising from operating the tank(s) indentified above, or if the 
Principal shall provide alternate financial assurance, as specified in 
40 CFR part 280, subpart H, within 120 days after the date the notice of 
cancellation is received by the Principal from the Surety(ies), then 
this obligation shall be null and void; otherwise it is to remain in 
full force and effect.
    Such obligation does not apply to any of the following:
    (a) Any obligation of [insert owner or operator] under a workers' 
compensation, disability benefits, or unemployment compensation law or 
other similar law;
    (b) Bodily injury to an employee of [insert owner or operator] 
arising from, and in the course of, employment by [insert owner or 
operator];
    (c) Bodily injury or property damage arising from the ownership, 
maintenance, use, or entrustment to others of any aircraft, motor 
vehicle, or watercraft;
    (d) Property damage to any property owned, rented, loaned to, in the 
care, custody, or control of, or occupied by [insert

[[Page 514]]

owner or operator] that is not the direct result of a release from a 
petroleum underground storage tank;
    (e) Bodily injury or property damage for which [insert owner or 
operator] is obligated to pay damages by reason of the assumption of 
liability in a contract or agreement other than a contract or agreement 
entered into to meet the requirements of 40 CFR 280.93.
    The Surety(ies) shall become liable on this bond obligation only 
when the Principal has failed to fulfill the conditions described above.
    Upon notification by [the Director of the implementing agency] that 
the Principal has failed to [``take corrective action, in accordance 
with 40 CFR part 280, subpart F and the Director's instructions,'' and/
or ``compensate injured third parties''] as guaranteed by this bond, the 
Surety(ies) shall either perform [``corrective action in accordance with 
40 CFR part 280 and the Director's instructions,'' and/or ``third-party 
liability compensation''] or place funds in an amount up to the annual 
aggregate penal sum into the standby trust fund as directed by [the 
Regional Administrator or the Director] under 40 CFR 280.108.
    Upon notification by [the Director] that the Principal has failed to 
provide alternate financial assurance within 60 days after the date the 
notice of cancellation is received by the Principal from the Surety(ies) 
and that [the Director] has determined or suspects that a release has 
occurred, the Surety(ies) shall place funds in an amount not exceeding 
the annual aggregate penal sum into the standby trust fund as directed 
by [the Director] under 40 CFR 280.108.
    The Surety(ies) hereby waive(s) notification of amendments to 
applicable laws, statutes, rules, and regulations and agrees that no 
such amendment shall in any way alleviate its (their) obligation on this 
bond.
    The liability of the Surety(ies) shall not be discharged by any 
payment or succession of payments hereunder, unless and until such 
payment or payments shall amount in the annual aggregate to the penal 
sum shown on the face of the bond, but in no event shall the obligation 
of the Surety(ies) hereunder exceed the amount of said annual aggregate 
penal sum.
    The Surety(ies) may cancel the bond by sending notice of 
cancellation by certified mail to the Principal, provided, however, that 
cancellation shall not occur during the 120 days beginning on the date 
of receipt of the notice of cancellation by the Principal, as evidenced 
by the return receipt.
    The Principal may terminate this bond by sending written notice to 
the Surety(ies).
    In Witness Thereof, the Principal and Surety(ies) have executed this 
Bond and have affixed their seals on the date set forth above.
    The persons whose signatures appear below hereby certify that they 
are authorized to execute this surety bond on behalf of the Principal 
and Surety(ies) and that the wording of this surety bond is identical to 
the wording specified in 40 CFR 280.98(b) as such regulations were 
constituted on the date this bond was executed.

the bond obligation when the owner or operator fails to perform as 
guaranteed by the bond. In all cases, the surety's liability is limited 
to the per-occurrence and annual aggregate penal sums.
    (d) The owner or operator who uses a surety bond to satisfy the 
requirements of Sec. 280.93 must establish a standby trust fund when the 
surety bond is acquired. Under the terms of the bond, all amounts paid 
by the surety under the bond will be deposited directly into the standby

Sec. 280.100  Use of state-required mechanism.

    (a) For underground storage tanks located in a state that does not 
have an approved program, and where the state requires owners or 
operators of underground storage tanks to demonstrate financial 
responsibility for taking corrective action and/or for compensating 
third parties for bodily injury and property damage, an owner or 
operator may use a state-required financial mechanism to meet the 
requirements of Sec. 280.93 if the Regional Administrator determines 
that the state mechanism is at least equivalent to the financial 
mechanisms specified in this subpart.
    (b) The Regional Administrator will evaluate the equivalency of a 
state-required mechanism principally in terms of: certainty of the 
availability of funds for taking corrective action and/or for 
compensating third parties; the amount of funds that will be made 
available; and the types of costs covered. The Regional Administrator 
may also consider other factors as is necessary.
    (c) The state, an owner or operator, or any other interested party 
may submit to the Regional Administrator a written petition requesting 
that one or more of the state-required mechanisms be considered 
acceptable for meeting the requirements of Sec. 280.93. The submission 
must include copies of the appropriate state statutory and regulatory 
requirements and must show the amount of funds for corrective action 
and/or for compensating third parties assured by the mechanism(s). The 
Regional Administrator may require the petitioner to submit additional 
information as is deemed necessary to make this determination.
    (d) Any petition under this section may be submitted on behalf of 
all of the state's underground storage tank owners and operators.
    (e) The Regional Administrator will notify the petitioner of his 
determination regarding the mechanism's acceptability in lieu of 
financial mechanisms specified in this subpart. Pending this 
determination, the owners and operators using such mechanisms will be 
deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of Sec. 280.93 for 
underground storage tanks located in the state for the amounts and types 
of costs covered by such mechanisms.

Sec. 280.101  State fund or other state assurance.

    (a) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of Sec. 280.93 
for underground storage tanks located in a state, where EPA is 
administering the requirements of this subpart, which assures that 
monies will be available from a state fund or state assurance program to 
cover costs up to the limits specified in Sec. 280.93 or otherwise 
assures that such costs will be paid if the Regional Administrator 
determines that the state's assurance is at least equivalent to the 
financial mechanisms specified in this subpart.
    (b) The Regional Administrator will evaluate the equivalency of a 
state fund or other state assurance principally in terms of: Certainty 
of the availability of funds for taking corrective action and/or for 
compensating third parties; the amount of funds that will be made 
available; and the types of costs covered. The Regional Administrator 
may also consider other factors as is necessary.
    (c) The state must submit to the Regional Administrator a 
description of the state fund or other state assurance to be supplied as 
financial assurance, along with a list of the classes of underground 
storage tanks to which the funds may be applied. The Regional 
Administrator may require the state to submit additional information as 
is deemed necessary to make a determination regarding the acceptability 
of the state fund or other state assurance. Pending the determination by 
the Regional Administrator, the owner or operator of a covered class of 
USTs

[[Page 517]]

will be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of Sec. 280.93 
for the amounts and types of costs covered by the state fund or other 
state assurance.
    (d) The Regional Administrator will notify the state of his 
determination regarding the acceptability of the state's fund or other 
assurance in lieu of financial mechanisms specified in this subpart. 
Within 60 days after the Regional Administrator notifies a state that a 
state fund or other state assurance is acceptable, the state must 
provide to each owner or operator for which it is assuming financial 
responsibility a letter or certificate describing the nature of the 
state's assumption of responsibility. The letter or certificate from the 
state must include, or have attached to it, the following information: 
the facility's name and address and the amount of funds for corrective 
action and/or for compensating third parties that is assured by the 
state. The owner or operator must maintain this letter or certificate on 
file as proof of financial responsibility in accordance with 
Sec. 280.107(b)(5).



Sec. 280.102  Trust fund.

    (a) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of Sec. 280.93 
by establishing a trust fund that conforms to the requirements of this 
section. The trustee must be an entity that has the authority to act as 
a trustee and whose trust operations are regulated and examined by a 
federal agency or an agency of the state in which the fund is 
established.
    (b) The wording of the trust agreement must be identical to the 
wording specified in Sec. 280.103(b)(1), and must be accompanied by a 
formal certification of acknowledgement as specified in 
Sec. 280.103(b)(2).
    (c) The trust fund, when established, must be funded for the full 
required amount of coverage, or funded for part of the required amount 
of coverage and used in combination with other mechanism(s) that provide 
the remaining required coverage.
    (d) If the value of the trust fund is greater than the required 
amount of coverage, the owner or operator may submit a written request 
to the Director of the implementing agency for release of the excess.
    (e) If other financial assurance as specified in this subpart is 
substituted for all or part of the trust fund, the owner or operator may 
submit a written request to the Director of the implementing agency for 
release of the excess.
    (f) Within 60 days after receiving a request from the owner or 
operator for release of funds as specified in paragraph (d) or (e) of 
this section, the Director of the implementing agency will instruct the 
trustee to release to the owner or operator such funds as the Director 
specifies in writing.



Sec. 280.103  Standby trust fund.

    (a) An owner or operator using any one of the mechanisms authorized 
by Secs. 280.96, 280.98, or 280.99 must establish a standby trust fund 
when the mechanism is acquired. The trustee of the standby trust fund 
must be an entity that has the authority to act as a trustee and whose 
trust operations are regulated and examined by a Federal agency or an 
agency of the state in which the fund is established.
    (b)(1) The standby trust agreement, or trust agreement, must be 
worded as follows, except that instructions in brackets are to be 
replaced with the relevant information and the brackets deleted:

                             Trust Agreement

    Trust agreement, the ``Agreement,'' entered into as of [date] by and 
between [name of the owner or operator], a [name of state] [insert 
``corporation,'' ``partnership,'' ``association,'' or 
``proprietorship''], the ``Grantor,'' and [name of corporate trustee], 
[insert ``Incorporated in the state of ______'' or ``a national bank''], 
the ``Trustee.''
    Whereas, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, ``EPA,'' 
an agency of the United States Government, has established certain 
regulations applicable to the Grantor, requiring that an owner or 
operator of an underground storage tank shall provide assurance that 
funds will be available when needed for corrective action and third-
party compensation for bodily injury and property damage caused by 
sudden and nonsudden accidental releases arising from the operation of 
the underground storage tank. The attached Schedule A lists the number 
of tanks at each facility and the name(s) and address(es) of the 
facility(ies) where the tanks are located that are covered by the 
standpoint trust agreement.

[[Page 518]]

    [Whereas, the Grantor has elected to establish [insert either ``a 
guarantee,'' ``surety bond,'' or ``letter of credit''] to provide all or 
part of such financial assurance for the underground storage tanks 
identified herein and is required to establish a standby trust fund able 
to accept payments from the instrument (This paragraph is only 
applicable to the standby trust agreement.)];
    Whereas, the Grantor, acting through its duly authorized officers, 
has selected the Trustee to be the trustee under this agreement, and the 
Trustee is willing to act as trustee;
    Now, therefore, the Grantor and the Trustee agree as follows:

                         Section 1. Definitions

    As used in this Agreement:
    (a) The term ``Grantor'' means the owner or operator who enters into 
this Agreement and any successors or assigns of the Grantor.
    (b) The term ``Trustee'' means the Trustee who enters into this 
Agreement and any successor Trustee.

     Section 2. Identification of the Financial Assurance Mechanism

    This Agreement pertains to the [identify the financial assurance 
mechanism, either a guarantee, surety bond, or letter of credit, from 
which the standby trust fund is established to receive payments (This 
paragraph is only applicable to the standby trust agreement.)].

                    Section 3. Establishment of Fund

    The Grantor and the Trustee hereby establish a trust fund, the 
``Fund,'' for the benefit of [implementing agency]. The Grantor and the 
Trustee intend that no third party have access to the Fund except as 
herein provided. [The Fund is established initially as a standby to 
receive payments and shall not consist of any property.] Payments made 
by the provider of financial assurance pursuant to [the Director of the 
implementing agency's] instruction are transferred to the Trustee and 
are referred to as the Fund, together with all earnings and profits 
thereon, less any payments or distributions made by the Trustee pursuant 
to this Agreement. The Fund shall be held by the Trustee, IN TRUST, as 
hereinafter provided. The Trustee shall not be responsible nor shall it 
undertake any responsibility for the amount or adequacy of, nor any duty 
to collect from the Grantor as provider of financial assurance, any 
payments necessary to discharge any liability of the Grantor established 
by [the state implementing agency]

    Section 4. Payment for [``Corrective Action'' and/or Third-Party 
                           Liability Claims'']

    The Trustee shall make payments from the Fund as [the Director of 
the implementing agency] shall direct, in writing, to provide for the 
payment of the costs of [insert: ``taking corrective action'' and/or 
compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage caused 
by'' either ``sudden accidental releases'' or ``nonsudden accidental 
releases'' or ``accidental releases''] arising from operating the tanks 
covered by the financial assurance mechanism identified in this 
Agreement.
    The Fund may not be drawn upon to cover any of the following:
    (a) Any obligation of [insert owner or operator] under a workers' 
compensation, disability benefits, or unemployment compensation law or 
other similar law;
    (b) Bodily injury to an employee of [insert owner or operator] 
arising from, and in the course of employment by [insert owner or 
operator];
    (c) Bodily injury or property damage arising from the ownership, 
maintenance, use, or entrustment to others of any aircraft, motor 
vehicle, or watercraft;
    (d) Property damage to any property owned, rented, loaned to, in the 
care, custody, or control of, or occupied by [insert owner or operator] 
that is not the direct result of a release from a petroleum underground 
storage tank;
    (e) Bodily injury or property damage for which [insert owner or 
operator] is obligated to pay damages by reason of the assumption of 
liability in a contract or agreement other than a contract or agreement 
entered into to meet the requirements of 40 CFR 280.93.
    The Trustee shall reimburse the Grantor, or other persons as 
specified by [the Director], from the Fund for corrective action 
expenditures and/or third-party liability claims in such amounts as [the 
Director] shall direct in writing. In addition, the Trustee shall refund 
to the Grantor such amounts as [the Director] specifies in writing. Upon 
refund, such funds shall no longer constitute part of the Fund as 
defined herein.

                 Section 5. Payments Comprising the Fund

    Payments made to the Trustee for the Fund shall consist of cash and 
securities acceptable to the Trustee.

                      Section 6. Trustee Management

    The Trustee shall invest and reinvest the principal and income of 
the Fund and keep the Fund invested as a single fund, without 
distinction between principal and income, in accordance with general 
investment policies and guidelines which the Grantor may communicate in 
writing to the Trustee from time to time, subject, however, to the 
provisions of this Section. In investing, reinvesting, exchanging, 
selling, and managing the Fund, the Trustee shall discharge his duties 
with respect to the trust fund solely in

[[Page 519]]

the interest of the beneficiaries and with the care, skill, prudence, 
and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing which persons of 
prudence, acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters, 
would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with 
like aims; except that:
    (i) Securities or other obligations of the Grantor, or any other 
owner or operator of the tanks, or any of their affiliates as defined in 
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 80a-2(a), 
shall not be acquired or held, unless they are securities or other 
obligations of the federal or a state government;
    (ii) The Trustee is authorized to invest the Fund in time or demand 
deposits of the Trustee, to the extent insured by an agency of the 
federal or state government; and
    (iii) The Trustee is authorized to hold cash awaiting investment or 
distribution uninvested for a reasonable time and without liability for 
the payment of interest thereon.

                  Section 7. Commingling and Investment

    The Trustee is expressly authorized in its discretion:
    (a) To transfer from time to time any or all of the assets of the 
Fund to any common, commingled, or collective trust fund created by the 
Trustee in which the Fund is eligible to participate, subject to all of 
the provisions thereof, to be commingled with the assets of other trusts 
participating therein; and
    (b) To purchase shares in any investment company registered under 
the Investment Company Act of 1940, 15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq., including 
one which may be created, managed, underwritten, or to which investment 
advice is rendered or the shares of which are sold by the Trustee. The 
Trustee may vote such shares in its discretion.

                  Section 8. Express Powers of Trustee

    Without in any way limiting the powers and discretions conferred 
upon the Trustee by the other provisions of this Agreement or by law, 
the Trustee is expressly authorized and empowered:
    (a) To sell, exchange, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any 
property held by it, by public or private sale. No person dealing with 
the Trustee shall be bound to see to the application of the purchase 
money or to inquire into the validity or expediency of any such sale or 
other disposition;
    (b) To make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all documents 
of transfer and conveyance and any and all other instruments that may be 
necessary or appropriate to carry out the powers herein granted;
    (c) To register any securities held in the Fund in its own name or 
in the name of a nominee and to hold any security in bearer form or in 
book entry, or to combine certificates representing such securities with 
certificates of the same issue held by the Trustee in other fiduciary 
capacities, or to deposit or arrange for the deposit of such securities 
in a qualified central depository even though, when so deposited, such 
securities may be merged and held in bulk in the name of the nominee of 
such depository with other securities deposited therein by another 
person, or to deposit or arrange for the deposit of any securities 
issued by the United States Government, or any agency or instrumentality 
thereof, with a Federal Reserve bank, but the books and records of the 
Trustee shall at all times show that all such securities are part of the 
Fund;
    (d) To deposit any cash in the Fund in interest-bearing accounts 
maintained or savings certificates issued by the Trustee, in its 
separate corporate capacity, or in any other banking institution 
affiliated with the Trustee, to the extent insured by an agency of the 
federal or state government; and
    (e) To compromise or otherwise adjust all claims in favor of or 
against the Fund.

                      Section 9. Taxes and Expenses

    All taxes of any kind that may be assessed or levied against or in 
respect of the Fund and all brokerage commissions incurred by the Fund 
shall be paid from the Fund. All other expenses incurred by the Trustee 
in connection with the administration of this Trust, including fees for 
legal services rendered to the Trustee, the compensation of the Trustee 
to the extent not paid directly by the Grantor, and all other proper 
charges and disbursements of the Trustee shall be paid from the Fund.

                      Section 10. Advice of Counsel

    The Trustee may from time to time consult with counsel, who may be 
counsel to the Grantor, with respect to any questions arising as to the 
construction of this Agreement or any action to be taken hereunder. The 
Trustee shall be fully protected, to the extent permitted by law, in 
acting upon the advice of counsel.

                    Section 11. Trustee Compensation

    The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its 
services as agreed upon in writing from time to time with the Grantor.

                      Section 12. Successor Trustee

    The Trustee may resign or the Grantor may replace the Trustee, but 
such resignation or replacement shall not be effective until the Grantor 
has appointed a successor trustee and this successor accepts the 
appointment. The successor trustee shall have the same powers and duties 
as those conferred upon the Trustee hereunder. Upon the

[[Page 520]]

successor trustee's acceptance of the appointment, the Trustee shall 
assign, transfer, and pay over to the successor trustee the funds and 
properties then constituting the Fund. If for any reason the Grantor 
cannot or does not act in the event of the resignation of the Trustee, 
the Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the 
appointment of a successor trustee or for instructions. The successor 
trustee shall specify the date on which it assumes administration of the

[the Director of the implementing agency] to the Trustee shall be in 
writing, signed by [the Director], and the Trustee shall act and shall 
be fully protected in acting in accordance with such orders, requests, 
and instructions. The Trustee shall have the right to assume, in the 
absence of written notice to the contrary, that no event constituting a 
change or a termination of the authority of any person to act on behalf 
of the Grantor or [the director] hereunder has occurred. The Trustee 
shall have no duty to act in the absence of such orders, requests, and 
instructions from the Grantor and/or [the Director], except as provided 
for herein.

                   Section 14. Amendment of Agreement

    This Agreement may be amended by an instrument in writing executed 
by the Grantor and the Trustee, or by the Trustee and [the Director of 
the implementing agency] if the Grantor ceases to exist.

               Section 15. Irrevocability and Termination

saved harmless by the Grantor, from and against any personal liability 
to which the Trustee may be subjected by reason of any act or conduct in 
its official capacity, including all expenses reasonably incurred in its 
defense in the event the Grantor fails to provide such defense.

Sec. 280.104  Local government bond rating test.

    (a) A general purpose local government owner or operator and/or 
local government serving as a guarantor may satisfy the requirements of 
Sec. 280.93 by having a currently outstanding issue or issues of general 
obligation bonds of $1 million or more, excluding refunded obligations, 
with a Moody's rating of Aaa, Aa, A, or Baa, or a Standard & Poor's 
rating of AAA, AA, A, or BBB. Where a local government has multiple 
outstanding issues, or where a local government's bonds are rated by 
both Moody's and Standard and Poor's, the lowest rating must be used to 
determine eligibility. Bonds that are backed by credit enhancement other 
than municipal bond insurance may not be considered in determining the 
amount of applicable bonds outstanding.
    (b) A local government owner or operator or local government serving 
as a guarantor that is not a general-purpose local government and does 
not have the legal authority to issue general obligation bonds may 
satisfy the requirements of Sec. 280.93 by having a currently 
outstanding issue or issues of revenue bonds of $1 million or more, 
excluding refunded issues and by also having a Moody's rating of Aaa, A, 
A, or Baa, or a Standard & Poor's rating of AAA, AA, A, or BBB as the 
lowest rating for any rated revenue bond issued by the local government. 
Where bonds are rated by both Moody's and Standard & Poor's, the lower 
rating for each bond must be used to determine eligibility. Bonds that 
are backed by credit enhancement may not be considered in determining 
the amount of applicable bonds outstanding.
    (c) The local government owner or operator and/or guarantor must 
maintain a copy of its bond rating published within the last 12 months 
by Moody's or Standard & Poor's.
    (d) To demonstrate that it meets the local government bond rating 
test, the chief financial officer of a general purpose local government 
owner or operator and/or guarantor must sign a letter worded exactly as 
follows, except that the instructions in brackets are to be replaced by 
the relevant information and the brackets deleted:

requirements of Sec. 280.93 by passing the financial test specified in 
this section. To be eligible to use the financial test, the local 
government owner or operator must have the ability and authority to 
assess and levy taxes or to freely establish fees and charges. To pass 
the local government financial test, the owner or operator must meet the 
criteria of paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section based on year-
end financial statements for the latest completed fiscal year.
    (b)(1) The local government owner or operator must have the 
following information available, as shown in the year-end financial 
statements for the latest completed fiscal year:
    (i) Total revenues: Consists of the sum of general fund operating 
and non-operating revenues including net local taxes, licenses and 
permits, fines and forfeitures, revenues from use of money and property, 
charges for services, investment earnings, sales (property, 
publications, etc.), intergovernmental revenues (restricted and 
unrestricted), and total revenues from all other governmental funds 
including enterprise, debt service, capital projects, and special 
revenues, but excluding revenues to funds held in a trust or agency 
capacity. For purposes of this test, the calculation of total revenues 
shall exclude all transfers between funds under the direct control of 
the local government using the financial test (interfund transfers), 
liquidation of investments, and issuance of debt.
    (ii) Total expenditures: Consists of the sum of general fund 
operating and non-operating expenditures including public safety, public 
utilities, transportation, public works, environmental protection, 
cultural and recreational, community development, revenue sharing, 
employee benefits and compensation, office management, planning and 
zoning, capital projects, interest payments on debt, payments for 
retirement of debt principal, and total expenditures from all other 
governmental funds including enterprise, debt service, capital projects, 
and special revenues. For purposes of this test, the calculation of 
total expenditures shall exclude all transfers between funds under the 
direct control of the local government using the financial test 
(interfund transfers).
    (iii) Local revenues: Consists of total revenues (as defined in 
paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section) minus the sum of all transfers from 
other governmental entities, including all monies received from Federal, 
state, or local government sources.
    (iv) Debt service: Consists of the sum of all interest and principal 
payments on all long-term credit obligations and all interest-bearing 
short-term credit obligations. Includes interest and principal payments 
on general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, notes, mortgages, judgments, 
and interest bearing warrants. Excludes payments on non-interest-bearing 
short-term obligations, interfund obligations, amounts owed in a trust 
or agency capacity, and advances and contingent loans from other 
governments.
    (v) Total funds: Consists of the sum of cash and investment 
securities from all funds, including general, enterprise, debt service, 
capital projects, and special revenue funds, but excluding employee 
retirement funds, at the end of the local government's financial 
reporting year. Includes Federal securities, Federal agency securities, 
state and local government securities, and other securities such as 
bonds, notes and mortgages. For purposes of this test, the calculation 
of total funds

[[Page 524]]

shall exclude agency funds, private trust funds, accounts receivable, 
value of real property, and other non-security assets.
    (vi) Population consists of the number of people in the area served 
by the local government.
    (2) The local government's year-end financial statements, if 
independently audited, cannot include an adverse auditor's opinion or a 
disclaimer of opinion. The local government cannot have outstanding 
issues of general obligation or revenue bonds that are rated as less 
than investment grade.
    (3) The local government owner or operator must have a letter signed 
by the chief financial officer worded as specified in paragraph (c) of 
this section.
    (c) To demonstrate that it meets the financial test under paragraph 
(b) of this section, the chief financial officer of the local government 
owner or operator, must sign, within 120 days of the close of each 
financial reporting year, as defined by the twelve-month period for 
which financial statements used to support the financial test are 
prepared, a letter worded exactly as follows, except that the 
instructions in brackets are to be replaced by the relevant information 
and the brackets deleted:

                   Letter From Chief Financial Officer

    I am the chief financial officer of [insert: name and address of the 
owner or operator]. This letter is in support of the use of the local 
government financial test to demonstrate financial responsibility for 
[insert: ``taking corrective action'' and/or ``compensating third 
parties for bodily injury and property damage''] caused by [insert: 
``sudden accidental releases'' and/or ``nonsudden accidental releases''] 
in the amount of at least [insert: dollar amount] per occurrence and 
[insert: dollar amount] annual aggregate arising from operating [an] 
underground storage tank[s].
    Underground storage tanks at the following facilities are assured by 
this financial test [List for each facility: the name and address of the 
facility where tanks assured by this financial test are located. If 
separate mechanisms or combinations of mechanisms are being used to 
assure any of the tanks at this facility, list each tank assured by this 
financial test by the tank identification number provided in the 
notification submitted pursuant to 40 CFR Part 280.22 or the 
corresponding state requirements.]
    This owner or operator has not received an adverse opinion, or a 
disclaimer of opinion from an independent auditor on its financial 
statements for the latest completed fiscal year. Any outstanding issues 
of general obligation or revenue bonds, if rated, have a Moody's rating 
of Aaa, Aa, A, or Baa or a Standard and Poor's rating of AAA, AA, A, or 
BBB; if rated by both firms, the bonds have a Moody's rating of Aaa, Aa, 
A, or Baa and a Standard and Poor's rating of AAA, AA, A, or BBB.

government having a ``substantial governmental relationship'' with the 
owner and operator and issuing the guarantee as an act incident to that 
relationship. A local government acting as the guarantor must:
    (1) demonstrate that it meets the bond rating test requirement of 
Sec. 280.104 and deliver a copy of the chief financial officer's letter 
as contained in Sec. 280.104(c) to the local government owner or 
operator; or
    (2) demonstrate that it meets the worksheet test requirements of

    (3) demonstrate that it meets the local government fund requirements 
of Sec. 280.107(a), Sec. 280.107(b), or Sec. 280.107(c) and deliver a 
copy of the chief financial officer's letter as contained in 
Sec. 280.107 to the local government owner or operator.
    (b) If the local government guarantor is unable to demonstrate 
financial assurance under any of Secs. 280.104, 280.105, 280.107(a), 
280.107(b), or 280.107(c), at the end of the financial reporting year, 
the guarantor shall send by certified mail, before cancellation or non-
renewal of the guarantee, notice to the owner or operator. The guarantee 
will terminate no less than 120 days after the date the owner or 
operator receives the notification, as evidenced by the return receipt. 
The owner or operator must obtain alternative coverage as specified in 
Sec. 280.114(c).
    (c) The guarantee agreement must be worded as specified in paragraph 
(d) or (e) of this section, depending on which of the following 
alternative guarantee arrangements is selected:
    (1) If, in the default or incapacity of the owner or operator, the 
guarantor guarantees to fund a standby trust as directed by the Director 
of the implementing agency, the guarantee shall be worded as specified 
in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (2) If, in the default or incapacity of the owner or operator, the 
guarantor guarantees to make payments as directed by the Director of the 
implementing agency for taking corrective action or compensating third 
parties for bodily injury and property damage, the guarantee shall be 
worded as specified in paragraph (e) of this section.
    (d) If the guarantor is a state, the local government guarantee with 
standby trust must be worded exactly as follows, except that 
instructions in brackets are to be replaced with relevant information 
and the brackets deleted:

third parties caused by [''sudden'' and/or ``nonsudden''] accidental 
releases arising from the operation of the above-identified tank(s), or 
fails to pay an amount agreed to in settlement of a claim arising from 
or alleged to arise from such injury or damage, the guarantor, upon

accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 280.112 to satisfy such 
judgment(s), award(s), or settlement agreement(s) up to the limits of 
coverage specified above.
    (4) Guarantor agrees to notify [owner or operator] by certified mail 
of a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under Title 11 (Bankruptcy), 
U.S. Code naming guarantor as debtor, within 10 days after commencement 
of the proceeding.

cancel this guarantee by sending notice by certified mail to [owner or 
operator], such cancellation to become effective no earlier than 120 
days after receipt of such notice by [owner or operator], as evidenced 
by the return receipt.
    (7) The guarantor's obligation does not apply to any of the 
following:
    (a) Any obligation of [local government owner or operator] under a

operator] is obligated to pay damages by reason of the assumption of 
liability in a contract or agreement other than a contract or agreement

    (8) Guarantor expressly waives notice of acceptance of this 
guarantee by [the implementing agency], by any or all third parties, or

Sec. 280.107  Local government fund.

    A local government owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of 
Sec. 280.93 by establishing a dedicated fund account that conforms to 
the requirements of this section. Except as specified in paragraph (b), 
a dedicated fund may not be commingled with other funds or otherwise 
used in normal operations. A dedicated fund will be considered eligible 
if it meets one of the following requirements:
    (a) The fund is dedicated by state constitutional provision, or 
local government statute, charter, ordinance, or order to pay for taking 
corrective action and for compensating third parties for bodily injury 
and property damage caused by accidental releases arising from the 
operation of petroleum underground storage tanks and is funded for the 
full amount of coverage required under Sec. 280.93, or funded for part 
of the required amount of coverage and used in combination with other 
mechanism(s) that provide the remaining coverage; or
    (b) The fund is dedicated by state constitutional provision, or 
local government statute, charter, ordinance, or order as a contingency 
fund for general emergencies, including taking corrective action and 
compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage caused 
by accidental releases arising from the operation of petroleum 
underground storage tanks, and is funded for five times the full amount 
of coverage required under Sec. 280.93, or funded for part of the 
required amount of coverage and used in combination

[[Page 532]]

with other mechanism(s) that provide the remaining coverage. If the fund 
is funded for less than five times the amount of coverage required under 
Sec. 280.93, the amount of financial responsibility demonstrated by the 
fund may not exceed one-fifth the amount in the fund; or
    (c) The fund is dedicated by state constitutional provision, or 
local government statute, charter, ordinance or order to pay for taking 
corrective action and for compensating third parties for bodily injury 
and property damage caused by accidental releases arising from the 
operation of petroleum underground storage tanks. A payment is made to 
the fund once every year for seven years until the fund is fully-funded. 
This seven year period is hereafter referred to as the ``pay-in-
period.'' The amount of each payment must be determined by this formula:

 
                                        TF-CF
                                    -------------
                                          Y
 


Where TF is the total required financial assurance for the owner or 
operator, CF is the current amount in the fund, and Y is the number of 
years remaining in the pay-in-period, and;
    (1) The local government owner or operator has available bonding 
authority, approved through voter referendum (if such approval is 
necessary prior to the issuance of bonds), for an amount equal to the 
difference between the required amount of coverage and the amount held 
in the dedicated fund. This bonding authority shall be available for 
taking corrective action and for compensating third parties for bodily 
injury and property damage caused by accidental releases arising from 
the operation of petroleum underground storage tanks, or
    (2) The local government owner or operator has a letter signed by 
the appropriate state attorney general stating that the use of the 
bonding authority will not increase the local government's debt beyond 
the legal debt ceilings established by the relevant state laws. The 
letter must also state that prior voter approval is not necessary before 
use of the bonding authority.
    (d) To demonstrate that it meets the requirements of the local 
government fund, the chief financial officer of the local government 
owner or operator and/or guarantor must sign a letter worded exactly as 
follows, except that the instructions in brackets are to be replaced by 
the relevant information and the brackets deleted:

                   Letter from Chief Financial Officer

    I am the chief financial officer of [insert: name and address of

financial responsibility for [insert: ``taking corrective action'' and/
or ``compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage''] 
caused by [insert: ``sudden accidental releases'' and/or ``nonsudden 
accidental releases''] in the amount of at least [insert: dollar amount] 
per occurrence and [insert: dollar amount] annual aggregate arising from 
operating (an) underground storage tank(s).
    Underground storage tanks at the following facilities are assured by 
this local government fund mechanism: [List for each facility: the name 
and address of the facility where tanks are assured by the local 
government fund].
    [Insert: ``The local government fund is funded for the full amount 
of coverage required under Sec. 280.93, or funded for part of the 
required amount of coverage and used in combination with other 
mechanism(s) that provide the remaining coverage.'' or ``The local 
government fund is funded for ten times the full amount of coverage 
required under Sec. 280.93, or funded for part of the required amount of 
coverage and used in combination with other mechanisms(s) that provide 
the remaining coverage,'' or ``A payment is made to the fund once every 
year for seven years until the fund is fully-funded and [name of local 
government owner or operator] has available bonding authority, approved 
through voter referendum, of an amount equal to the difference between 
the required amount of coverage and the amount held in the dedicated 
fund'' or ``A payment is made to the fund once every year for seven 
years until the fund is fully-funded and I have attached a letter signed 
by the State Attorney General stating that (1) the use of the bonding 
authority will not increase the local government's debt beyond the legal 
debt ceilings established by the relevant state laws and (2) that prior 
voter approval is not necessary before use of the bonding authority''].
    The details of the local government fund are as follows:

    (a) Except as specified in paragraph (d) of this section, the 
Director of the implementing agency shall require the guarantor, surety, 
or institution issuing a letter of credit to place the amount of funds 
stipulated by the Director, up to the limit of funds provided by the 
financial assurance mechanism, into the standby trust if:
    (1)(i) The owner or operator fails to establish alternate financial 
assurance within 60 days after receiving notice of cancellation of the 
guarantee, surety bond, letter of credit, or, as applicable, other 
financial assurance mechanism; and
    (ii) The Director determines or suspects that a release from an 
underground storage tank covered by the mechanism has occurred and so 
notifies the owner or operator or the owner or operator has notified the 
Director pursuant to subparts E or F of a release from an underground 
storage tank covered by the mechanism; or
    (2) The conditions of paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) (i) or (ii) of this 
section are satisfied.
    (b) The Director of the implementing agency may draw on a standby 
trust fund when:
    (1) The Director makes a final determination that a release has 
occurred and immediate or long-term corrective action for the release is 
needed, and the owner or operator, after appropriate notice and 
opportunity to comply, has not conducted corrective action as required 
under 40 CFR part 280, subpart F; or
    (2) The Director has received either:
    (i) Certification from the owner or operator and the third-party 
liability claimant(s) and from attorneys representing the owner or 
operator and the third-party liability claimant(s) that a third-party 
liability claim should be paid. The certification must be worded as 
follows, except that instructions in brackets are to be replaced with 
the relevant information and the brackets deleted:

    (c) If the Director of the implementing agency determines that the 
amount of corrective action costs and third-party liability claims 
eligible for payment under paragraph (b) of this section may exceed the 
balance of the standby trust fund and the obligation of the provider of 
financial assurance, the first priority for payment shall be corrective 
action costs necessary to protect human health and the environment. The 
Director shall pay third-party liability claims in the order in which 
the Director receives certifications under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this 
section, and valid court orders under paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this

Sec. 280.114  Bankruptcy or other incapacity of owner or operator or provider of financial assurance.

    (a) Within 10 days after commencement of a voluntary or involuntary 
proceeding under Title 11 (Bankruptcy), U.S. Code, naming an owner or

current financial responsibility.
    (b) Within 10 days after commencement of a voluntary or involuntary 
proceeding under Title 11 (Bankruptcy), U.S. Code, naming a guarantor 
providing financial assurance as debtor, such guarantor must notify the 
owner or operator by certified mail of such commencement as required 
under the terms of the guarantee specified in Sec. 280.96.
    (c) Within 10 days after commencement of a voluntary or involuntary 
proceeding under Title 11 (Bankruptcy), U.S. Code, naming a local

operator must notify the Director of the implementing agency by 
certified mail of such commencement and submit the appropriate forms 
listed in Sec. 280.111(b) documenting current financial responsibility.
    (d) Within 10 days after commencement of a voluntary or involuntary

the terms of the guarantee specified in Sec. 280.106.
    (e) An owner or operator who obtains financial assurance by a 
mechanism other than the financial test of self-insurance will be deemed 
to be without the required financial assurance in the event of a 
bankruptcy or incapacity of its provider of financial assurance, or a 
suspension or revocation of the authority of the provider of financial 
assurance to issue a guarantee, insurance policy, risk retention group 
coverage policy, surety bond, letter of credit, or state-required 
mechanism. The owner or operator must obtain alternate financial 
assurance as specified in this subpart within 30 days after receiving 
notice of such an event. If the owner or operator does not obtain 
alternate coverage within 30 days after such notification, he must 
notify the Director of the implementing agency.

Sec. 280.115  Replenishment of guarantees, letters of credit, or surety bonds.

    (a) If at any time after a standby trust is funded upon the 
instruction of the Director of the implementing agency with funds drawn 
from a guarantee, local government guarantee with standby trust, letter 
of credit, or surety bond, and the amount in the standby trust is 
reduced below the full amount of coverage required, the owner or 
operator shall by the anniversary date of the financial mechanism from 
which the funds were drawn:
    (1) Replenish the value of financial assurance to equal the full 
amount of coverage required, or
    (2) Acquire another financial assurance mechanism for the amount by 
which funds in the standby trust have been reduced.
    (b) For purposes of this section, the full amount of coverage 
required is the amount of coverage to be provided by Sec. 280.93 of this 
subpart. If a combination of mechanisms was used to provide the 
assurance funds which were drawn upon, replenishment shall occur by the 
earliest anniversary date among the mechanisms.

    Source: 60 FR 46711, Sept. 7, 1995, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 280.200  Definitions.

    (a) UST technical standards, as used in this subpart, refers to the 
UST preventative and operating requirements under 40 CFR part 280, 
subparts B, C, D, G, and Sec. 280.50 of subpart E.
    (b) Petroleum production, refining, and marketing.
    (1) Petroleum production means the production of crude oil or other 
forms of petroleum (as defined in Sec. 280.12) as well as the production 
of petroleum products from purchased materials.
    (2) Petroleum refining means the cracking, distillation, separation, 
conversion, upgrading, and finishing of refined petroleum or petroleum 
products.
    (3) Petroleum marketing means the distribution, transfer, or sale of 
petroleum or petroleum products for wholesale or retail purposes.
    (c) Indicia of ownership means evidence of a secured interest, 
evidence of an interest in a security interest, or evidence of an 
interest in real or personal property securing a loan or other 
obligation, including any legal or equitable title or deed to real or 
personal property acquired through or incident to foreclosure. Evidence 
of such interests include, but are not limited to, mortgages, deeds of 
trust, liens, surety bonds and guarantees of obligations, title held 
pursuant to a lease financing transaction in which the lessor does not 
select initially the leased property (hereinafter ``lease financing 
transaction''), and legal or equitable title obtained pursuant to 
foreclosure. Evidence of such interests also includes assignments, 
pledges, or other rights to or other forms of encumbrance against 
property that are held primarily to protect a security interest. A 
person is not required to hold title or a security

[[Page 538]]

interest in order to maintain indicia of ownership.
    (d) A holder is a person who, upon the effective date of this 
regulation or in the future, maintains indicia of ownership (as defined 
in Sec. 280.200(c)) primarily to protect a security interest (as defined 
in Sec. 280.200(f)(1)) in a petroleum UST or UST system or facility or 
property on which a petroleum UST or UST system is located. A holder 
includes the initial holder (such as a loan originator); any subsequent 
holder (such as a successor-in-interest or subsequent purchaser of the 
security interest on the secondary market); a guarantor of an 
obligation, surety, or any other person who holds ownership indicia 
primarily to protect a security interest; or a receiver or other person 
who acts on behalf or for the benefit of a holder.
    (e) A borrower, debtor, or obligor is a person whose UST or UST 
system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system is located 
is encumbered by a security interest. These terms may be used 
interchangeably.
    (f) Primarily to protect a security interest means that the holder's 
indicia of ownership are held primarily for the purpose of securing 
payment or performance of an obligation.
    (1) Security interest means an interest in a petroleum UST or UST 
system or in the facility or property on which a petroleum UST or UST 
system is located, created or established for the purpose of securing a 
loan or other obligation. Security interests include but are not limited 
to mortgages, deeds of trusts, liens, and title pursuant to lease 
financing transactions. Security interests may also arise from 
transactions such as sale and leasebacks, conditional sales, installment 
sales, trust receipt transactions, certain assignments, factoring 
agreements, accounts receivable financing arrangements, and 
consignments, if the transaction creates or establishes an interest in 
an UST or UST system or in the facility or property on which the UST or 
UST system is located, for the purpose of securing a loan or other 
obligation.
    (2) Primarily to protect a security interest, as used in this 
subpart, does not include indicia of ownership held primarily for 
investment purposes, nor ownership indicia held primarily for purposes 
other than as protection for a security interest. A holder may have 
other, secondary reasons for maintaining indicia of ownership, but the 
primary reason why any ownership indicia are held must be as protection 
for a security interest.
    (g) Operation means, for purposes of this subpart, the use, storage, 
filling, or dispensing of petroleum contained in an UST or UST system.



Sec. 280.210  Participation in management.

    The term ``participating in the management of an UST or UST system'' 
means that, subsequent to the effective date of this subpart, December 
6, 1995, the holder is engaging in decisionmaking control of, or 
activities related to, operation of the UST or UST system, as defined 
herein.
    (a) Actions that are participation in management.
    (1) Participation in the management of an UST or UST system means, 
for purposes of this subpart, actual participation by the holder in the 
management or control of decisionmaking related to the operation of an 
UST or UST system. Participation in management does not include the mere 
capacity or ability to influence or the unexercised right to control UST 
or UST system operations. A holder is participating in the management of 
the UST or UST system only if the holder either:
    (i) Exercises decisionmaking control over the operational (as 
opposed to financial or administrative) aspects of the UST or UST 
system, such that the holder has undertaken responsibility for all or 
substantially all of the management of the UST or UST system; or
    (ii) Exercises control at a level comparable to that of a manager of 
the borrower's enterprise, such that the holder has assumed or 
manifested responsibility for the overall management of the enterprise 
encompassing the day-to-day decisionmaking of the enterprise with 
respect to all, or substantially all, of the operational (as opposed to 
financial or administrative) aspects of the enterprise.

[[Page 539]]

    (2) Operational aspects of the enterprise relate to the use, 
storage, filling, or dispensing of petroleum contained in an UST or UST 
system, and include functions such as that of a facility or plant 
manager, operations manager, chief operating officer, or chief executive 
officer. Financial or administrative aspects include functions such as 
that of a credit manager, accounts payable/receivable manager, personnel 
manager, controller, chief financial officer, or similar functions. 
Operational aspects of the enterprise do not include the financial or 
administrative aspects of the enterprise, or actions associated with 
environmental compliance, or actions undertaken voluntarily to protect 
the environment in accordance with applicable requirements in 40 CFR 
part 280 or applicable state requirements in those states that have been 
delegated authority by EPA to administer the UST program pursuant to 42 
USC 6991c and 40 CFR part 281.
    (b) Actions that are not participation in management pre-
foreclosure.
    (1) Actions at the inception of the loan or other transaction. No 
act or omission prior to the time that indicia of ownership are held 
primarily to protect a security interest constitutes evidence of 
participation in management within the meaning of this subpart. A 
prospective holder who undertakes or requires an environmental 
investigation (which could include a site assessment, inspection, and/or 
audit) of the UST or UST system or facility or property on which the UST 
or UST system is located (in which indicia of ownership are to be held), 
or requires a prospective borrower to clean up contamination from the 
UST or UST system or to comply or come into compliance (whether prior or 
subsequent to the time that indicia of ownership are held primarily to 
protect a security interest) with any applicable law or regulation, is 
not by such action considered to be participating in the management of 
the UST or UST system or facility or property on which the UST or UST 
system is located.
    (2) Loan policing and work out. Actions that are consistent with 
holding ownership indicia primarily to protect a security interest do 
not constitute participation in management for purposes of this subpart. 
The authority for the holder to take such actions may, but need not, be 
contained in contractual or other documents specifying requirements for 
financial, environmental, and other warranties, covenants, conditions, 
representations or promises from the borrower. Loan policing and work 
out activities cover and include all such activities up to foreclosure, 
exclusive of any activities that constitute participation in management.
    (i) Policing the security interest or loan.
    (A) A holder who engages in policing activities prior to foreclosure 
will remain within the exemption provided that the holder does not 
together with other actions participate in the management of the UST or 
UST system as provided in Sec. 280.210(a). Such policing actions 
include, but are not limited to, requiring the borrower to clean up 
contamination from the UST or UST system during the term of the security 
interest; requiring the borrower to comply or come into compliance with 
applicable federal, state, and local environmental and other laws, 
rules, and regulations during the term of the security interest; 
securing or exercising authority to monitor or inspect the UST or UST 
system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system is located 
(including on-site inspections) in which indicia of ownership are 
maintained, or the borrower's business or financial condition during the 
term of the security interest; or taking other actions to adequately 
police the loan or security interest (such as requiring a borrower to 
comply with any warranties, covenants, conditions, representations, or 
promises from the borrower).
    (B) Policing activities also include undertaking by the holder of 
UST environmental compliance actions and voluntary environmental actions 
taken in compliance with 40 CFR part 280, provided that the holder does 
not otherwise participate in the management or daily operation of the 
UST or UST system as provided in Sec. 280.210(a) and Sec. 280.230. Such 
allowable actions include, but are not limited to, release detection and 
release reporting, release

[[Page 540]]

response and corrective action, temporary or permanent closure of an UST 
or UST system, UST upgrading or replacement, and maintenance of 
corrosion protection. A holder who undertakes these actions must do so 
in compliance with the applicable requirements in 40 CFR part 280 or 
applicable state requirements in those states that have been delegated 
authority by EPA to administer the UST program pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 
6991c and 40 CFR part 281. A holder may directly oversee these 
environmental compliance actions and voluntary environmental actions, 
and directly hire contractors to perform the work, and is not by such 
action considered to be participating in the management of the UST or 
UST system.
    (ii) Loan work out. A holder who engages in work out activities 
prior to foreclosure will remain within the exemption provided that the 
holder does not together with other actions participate in the 
management of the UST or UST system as provided in Sec. 280.210(a). For 
purposes of this rule, ``work out'' refers to those actions by which a 
holder, at any time prior to foreclosure, seeks to prevent, cure, or 
mitigate a default by the borrower or obligor; or to preserve, or 
prevent the diminution of, the value of the security. Work out 
activities include, but are not limited to, restructuring or 
renegotiating the terms of the security interest; requiring payment of 
additional rent or interest; exercising forbearance; requiring or 
exercising rights pursuant to an assignment of accounts or other amounts 
owing to an obligor; requiring or exercising rights pursuant to an 
escrow agreement pertaining to amounts owing to an obligor; providing 
specific or general financial or other advice, suggestions, counseling, 
or guidance; and exercising any right or remedy the holder is entitled 
to by law or under any warranties, covenants, conditions, 
representations, or promises from the borrower.
    (c) Foreclosure on an UST or UST system or facility or property on 
which an UST or UST system is located, and participation in management 
activities post-foreclosure.
    (1) Foreclosure. (i) Indicia of ownership that are held primarily to 
protect a security interest include legal or equitable title or deed to 
real or personal property acquired through or incident to foreclosure. 
For purposes of this subpart, the term ``foreclosure'' means that legal, 
marketable or equitable title or deed has been issued, approved, and 
recorded, and that the holder has obtained access to the UST, UST 
system, UST facility, and property on which the UST or UST system is 
located, provided that the holder acted diligently to acquire marketable 
title or deed and to gain access to the UST, UST system, UST facility, 
and property on which the UST or UST system is located. The indicia of 
ownership held after foreclosure continue to be maintained primarily as 
protection for a security interest provided that the holder undertakes 
to sell, re-lease an UST or UST system or facility or property on which 
the UST or UST system is located, held pursuant to a lease financing 
transaction (whether by a new lease financing transaction or 
substitution of the lessee), or otherwise divest itself of the UST or 
UST system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system is 
located, in a reasonably expeditious manner, using whatever commercially 
reasonable means are relevant or appropriate with respect to the UST or 
UST system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system is 
located, taking all facts and circumstances into consideration, and 
provided that the holder does not participate in management (as defined 
in Sec. 280.210(a)) prior to or after foreclosure.
    (ii) For purposes of establishing that a holder is seeking to sell, 
re-lease pursuant to a lease financing transaction (whether by a new 
lease financing transaction or substitution of the lessee), or divest in 
a reasonably expeditious manner an UST or UST system or facility or 
property on which the UST or UST system is located, the holder may use 
whatever commercially reasonable means as are relevant or appropriate 
with respect to the UST or UST system or facility or property on which 
the UST or UST system is located, or may employ the means specified in 
Sec. 280.210(c)(2). A holder that outbids, rejects, or fails to act upon 
a written

[[Page 541]]

bona fide, firm offer of fair consideration for the UST or UST system or 
facility or property on which the UST or UST system is located, as 
provided in Sec. 280.210(c)(2), is not considered to hold indicia of 
ownership primarily to protect a security interest.
    (2) Holding foreclosed property for disposition and liquidation. A 
holder, who does not participate in management prior to or after 
foreclosure, may sell, re-lease, pursuant to a lease financing 
transaction (whether by a new lease financing transaction or 
substitution of the lessee), an UST or UST system or facility or 
property on which the UST or UST system is located, liquidate, wind up 
operations, and take measures, prior to sale or other disposition, to 
preserve, protect, or prepare the secured UST or UST system or facility 
or property on which the UST or UST system is located. A holder may also 
arrange for an existing or new operator to continue or initiate 
operation of the UST or UST system. The holder may conduct these 
activities without voiding the security interest exemption, subject to 
the requirements of this subpart.
    (i) A holder establishes that the ownership indicia maintained after 
foreclosure continue to be held primarily to protect a security interest 
by, within 12 months following foreclosure, listing the UST or UST 
system or the facility or property on which the UST or UST system is 
located, with a broker, dealer, or agent who deals with the type of 
property in question, or by advertising the UST or UST system or 
facility or property on which the UST or UST system is located, as being 
for sale or disposition on at least a monthly basis in either a real 
estate publication or a trade or other publication suitable for the UST 
or UST system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system is 
located, or a newspaper of general circulation (defined as one with a 
circulation over 10,000, or one suitable under any applicable federal, 
state, or local rules of court for publication required by court order 
or rules of civil procedure) covering the location of the UST or UST 
system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system is 
located. For purposes of this provision, the 12-month period begins to 
run from December 6, 1995 or from the date that the marketable title or 
deed has been issued, approved and recorded, and the holder has obtained 
access to the UST, UST system, UST facility and property on which the 
UST or UST system is located, whichever is later, provided that the 
holder acted diligently to acquire marketable title or deed and to 
obtain access to the UST, UST system, UST facility and property on which 
the UST or UST system is located. If the holder fails to act diligently 
to acquire marketable title or deed or to gain access to the UST or UST 
system, the 12-month period begins to run from December 6, 1995 or from 
the date on which the holder first acquires either title to or 
possession of the secured UST or UST system, or facility or property on 
which the UST or UST system is located, whichever is later.
    (ii) A holder that outbids, rejects, or fails to act upon an offer 
of fair consideration for the UST or UST system or the facility or 
property on which the UST or UST system is located, establishes by such 
outbidding, rejection, or failure to act, that the ownership indicia in 
the secured UST or UST system or facility or property on which the UST 
or UST system is located are not held primarily to protect the security 
interest, unless the holder is required, in order to avoid liability 
under federal or state law, to make a higher bid, to obtain a higher 
offer, or to seek or obtain an offer in a different manner.
    (A) Fair consideration, in the case of a holder maintaining indicia 
of ownership primarily to protect a senior security interest in the UST 
or UST system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system is 
located, is the value of the security interest as defined in this 
section. The value of the security interest includes all debt and costs 
incurred by the security interest holder, and is calculated as an amount 
equal to or in excess of the sum of the outstanding principal (or 
comparable amount in the case of a lease that constitutes a security 
interest) owed to the holder immediately preceding the acquisition of 
full title (or possession in the case of a lease financing transaction) 
pursuant to foreclosure, plus any unpaid interest, rent, or penalties

[[Page 542]]

(whether arising before or after foreclosure). The value of the security 
interest also includes all reasonable and necessary costs, fees, or 
other charges incurred by the holder incident to work out, foreclosure, 
retention, preserving, protecting, and preparing, prior to sale, the UST 
or UST system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system is 
located, re-lease, pursuant to a lease financing transaction (whether by 
a new lease financing transaction or substitution of the lessee), of an 
UST or UST system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system 
is located, or other disposition. The value of the security interest 
also includes environmental investigation costs (which could include a 
site assessment, inspection, and/or audit of the UST or UST system or 
facility or property on which the UST or UST system is located), and 
corrective action costs incurred under Secs. 280.51 through 280.67 or 
any other costs incurred as a result of reasonable efforts to comply 
with any other applicable federal, state or local law or regulation; 
less any amounts received by the holder in connection with any partial 
disposition of the property and any amounts paid by the borrower (if not 
already applied to the borrower's obligations) subsequent to the 
acquisition of full title (or possession in the case of a lease 
financing transaction) pursuant to foreclosure. In the case of a holder 
maintaining indicia of ownership primarily to protect a junior security 
interest, fair consideration is the value of all outstanding higher 
priority security interests plus the value of the security interest held 
by the junior holder, each calculated as set forth in this paragraph.
    (B) Outbids, rejects, or fails to act upon an offer of fair 
consideration means that the holder outbids, rejects, or fails to act 
upon within 90 days of receipt, a written, bona fide, firm offer of fair 
consideration for the UST or UST system or facility or property on which 
the UST or UST system is located received at any time after six months 
following foreclosure, as defined in Sec. 280.210(c). A ``written, bona 
fide, firm offer'' means a legally enforceable, commercially reasonable, 
cash offer solely for the foreclosed UST or UST system or facility or 
property on which the UST or UST system is located, including all 
material terms of the transaction, from a ready, willing, and able 
purchaser who demonstrates to the holder's satisfaction the ability to 
perform. For purposes of this provision, the six-month period begins to 
run from December 6, 1995 or from the date that marketable title or deed 
has been issued, approved and recorded to the holder, and the holder has 
obtained access to the UST, UST system, UST facility and property on 
which the UST or UST system is located, whichever is later, provided 
that the holder was acting diligently to acquire marketable title or 
deed and to obtain access to the UST or UST system, UST facility and 
property on which the UST or UST system is located. If the holder fails 
to act diligently to acquire marketable title or deed or to gain access 
to the UST or UST system, the six-month period begins to run from 
December 6, 1995 or from the date on which the holder first acquires 
either title to or possession of the secured UST or UST system, or 
facility or property on which the UST or UST system is located, 
whichever is later.
    (3) Actions that are not participation in management post-
foreclosure. A holder is not considered to be participating in the 
management of an UST or UST system or facility or property on which the 
UST or UST system is located when undertaking actions under 40 CFR part 
280, provided that the holder does not otherwise participate in the 
management or daily operation of the UST or UST system as provided in 
Sec. 280.210(a) and Sec. 280.230. Such allowable actions include, but 
are not limited to, release detection and release reporting, release 
response and corrective action, temporary or permanent closure of an UST 
or UST system, UST upgrading or replacement, and maintenance of 
corrosion protection. A holder who undertakes these actions must do so 
in compliance with the applicable requirements in 40 CFR part 280 or 
applicable state requirements in those states that have been delegated 
authority by EPA to administer the UST program pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 
6991c and 40 CFR part 281. A holder may directly oversee

[[Page 543]]

these environmental compliance actions and voluntary environmental 
actions, and directly hire contractors to perform the work, and is not 
by such action considered to be participating in the management of the 
UST or UST system.



Sec. 280.220  Ownership of an underground storage tank or underground storage tank system or facility or property on which an underground storage tank or 
          underground storage tank system is located.

    Ownership of an UST or UST system or facility or property on which 
an UST or UST system is located. A holder is not an ``owner'' of a 
petroleum UST or UST system or facility or property on which a petroleum 
UST or UST system is located for purposes of compliance with the UST 
technical standards as defined in Sec. 280.200(a), the UST corrective 
action requirements under Secs. 280.51 through 280.67, and the UST 
financial responsibility requirements under Secs. 280.90 through 
280.111, provided the person:
    (a) Does not participate in the management of the UST or UST system 
as defined in Sec. 280.210; and

    (b) Does not engage in petroleum production, refining, and marketing 
as defined in Sec. 280.200(b).



Sec. 280.230  Operating an underground storage tank or underground storage tank system.

    (a) Operating an UST or UST system prior to foreclosure. A holder, 
prior to foreclosure, as defined in Sec. 280.210(c), is not an 
``operator'' of a petroleum UST or UST system for purposes of compliance 
with the UST technical standards as defined in Sec. 280.200(a), the UST 
corrective action requirements under Secs. 280.51 through 280.67, and 
the UST financial responsibility requirements under Secs. 280.90 through 
280.111, provided that, after December 6, 1995, the holder is not in 
control of or does not have responsibility for the daily operation of 
the UST or UST system.

    (b) Operating an UST or UST system after foreclosure. The following 
provisions apply to a holder who, through foreclosure, as defined in 
Sec. 280.210(c), acquires a petroleum UST or UST system or facility or 
property on which a petroleum UST or UST system is located.

    (1) A holder is not an ``operator'' of a petroleum UST or UST system 
for purposes of compliance with 40 CFR part 280 if there is an operator, 
other than the holder, who is in control of or has responsibility for 
the daily operation of the UST or UST system, and who can be held 
responsible for compliance with applicable requirements of 40 CFR part 
280 or applicable state requirements in those states that have been 
delegated authority by EPA to administer the UST program pursuant to 42 
U.S.C. 6991c and 40 CFR part 281.

    (2) If another operator does not exist, as provided for under 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section, a holder is not an ``operator'' of the 
UST or UST system, for purposes of compliance with the UST technical 
standards as defined in Sec. 280.200(a), the UST corrective action 
requirements under Secs. 280.51 through 280.67, and the UST financial 
responsibility requirements under Secs. 280.90 through 280.111, provided 
that the holder:
    (i) Empties all of its known USTs and UST systems within 60 calendar 
days after foreclosure or within 60 calendar days after December 6, 
1995, whichever is later, or another reasonable time period specified by 
the implementing agency, so that no more than 2.5 centimeters (one inch) 
of residue, or 0.3 percent by weight of the total capacity of the UST 
system, remains in the system; leaves vent lines open and functioning; 
and caps and secures all other lines, pumps, manways, and ancillary 
equipment; and
    (ii) Empties those USTs and UST systems that are discovered after 
foreclosure within 60 calendar days after discovery or within 60 
calendar days after December 6, 1995, whichever is later, or another 
reasonable time period specified by the implementing agency, so that no 
more than 2.5 centimeters (one inch) of residue, or 0.3 percent by 
weight of the total capacity of the UST system, remains in the system; 
leaves vent lines open and functioning; and caps and secures all other 
lines, pumps, manways, and ancillary equipment.
    (3) If another operator does not exist, as provided for under 
paragraph (b)(1)

[[Page 544]]

of this section, in addition to satisfying the conditions under 
paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the holder must either:
    (i) Permanently close the UST or UST system in accordance with 
Secs. 280.71 through 280.74, except Sec. 280.72(b); or
    (ii) Temporarily close the UST or UST system in accordance with the 
following applicable provisions of Sec. 280.70:
    (A) Continue operation and maintenance of corrosion protection in 
accordance with Sec. 280.31;
    (B) Report suspected releases to the implementing agency; and
    (C) Conduct a site assessment in accordance with Sec. 280.72(a) if 
the UST system is temporarily closed for more than 12 months and the UST 
system does not meet either the performance standards in Sec. 280.20 for 
new UST systems or the upgrading requirements in Sec. 280.21, except 
that the spill and overfill equipment requirements do not have to be 
met. The holder must report any suspected releases to the implementing 
agency. For purposes of this provision, the 12-month period begins to 
run from December 6, 1995 or from the date on which the UST system is 
emptied and secured under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, whichever is 
later.
    (4) The UST system can remain in temporary closure until a 
subsequent purchaser has acquired marketable title to the UST or UST 
system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system is 
located. Once a subsequent purchaser acquires marketable title to the 
UST or UST system or facility or property on which the UST or UST system 
is located, the purchaser must decide whether to operate or close the 
UST or UST system in accordance with applicable requirements in 40 CFR 
part 280 or applicable state requirements in those states that have been 
delegated authority by EPA to administer the UST program pursuant to 42 
U.S.C. 6991c and 40 CFR part 281.

  Appendix III to Part 280--Statement for Shipping Tickets and Invoices

    Note.-- A Federal law (the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 
(RCRA), as amended (Pub. L. 98-616)) requires owners of certain 
underground storage tanks to notify designated State or local agencies 
by May 8, 1986, of the existence of their tanks. Notifications for tanks 
brought into use after May 8, 1986, must be made within 30 days. Consult 
EPA's regulations, issued on November 8, 1985 (40 CFR part 280) to 
determine if you are affected by this law.

           Subpart A--Purpose, General Requirements and Scope



Sec. 281.10  Purpose.

    (a) This subpart specifies the requirements that state programs must 
meet for approval by the Administrator under section 9004 of RCRA, and 
the procedures EPA will follow in approving, revising and withdrawing 
approval of state programs.
    (b) State submissions for program approval must be in accordance 
with the procedures set out in this part.
    (c) A state may apply for approval under this subpart at any time 
after the promulgation of release detection, prevention, and correction 
regulations under section 9003 of RCRA.
    (d) Any state program approved by the Administrator under this part 
shall at all times be conducted in accordance with the requirements of 
this part.



Sec. 281.11  General requirements.

    (a) State program elements. The following substantive elements of a 
state program must be addressed in a state application for approval:
    (1) Requirements for all existing and new underground storage tanks:
    (i) New UST systems (design, construction, installation, and 
notification);
    (ii) Upgrading of existing UST systems;
    (iii) General operating requirements;
    (iv) Release detection;
    (v) Release reporting, investigation, and confirmation;
    (vi) Out-of-service USTs and closure;
    (vii) Release response and corrective action; and
    (viii) Financial responsibility for UST systems containing 
petroleum.
    (2) Provisions for adequate enforcement of compliance with the above 
program elements.
    (b) Final approval. The state must demonstrate that its requirements

[[Page 551]]

under each state program element for existing and new UST systems are no 
less stringent than the corresponding federal requirements as set forth 
in subpart C of this part, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this 
section. The state must also demonstrate that it has a program that 
provides adequate enforcement of compliance with these requirements.
    (c) Interim approval. (1) The Administrator may approve state 
programs with requirements less stringent than the federal requirements 
for a period of 1 to 3 years from September 23, 1988. Such interim 
approval may be granted only if state regulatory and/or legislative 
change is required in order for the state program to be no less 
stringent than the federal requirements and standards under part 280 for 
one or more of the following program elements: Release detection at 
existing UST systems; release reporting and investigation; and out-of-
service or closed UST systems.
    (2) A state program may receive interim approval if it:
    (i) Has requirements for three elements:
    (A) Release Detection;
    (B) Release Reporting, Investigation, and Confirmation; and
    (C) Out-of-Service UST Systems and Closure; and
    (ii) Has requirements that are no less stringent than the 
corresponding federal requirements for five elements:
    (A) New UST System Design, Construction, Installation and 
Notification;
    (B) Upgrading Existing UST Systems;
    (C) General Operating Requirements;
    (D) Release Response and Corrective Action; and
    (E) Financial Responsibility for UST systems containing petroleum; 
and
    (iii) Provides for adequate enforcement of compliance with these 
requirements.
    (3) A state with a program that has received interim approval must 
receive final approval of an amended program containing program elements 
that are no less stringent than the corresponding federal program 
elements under subpart C in accordance with the following schedule:
    (i) If only state regulatory action is required, the state must 
submit an amended program to EPA for approval before September 23, 1989.
    (ii) If only state legislative action is required, the state must 
submit an amended program to EPA for approval before September 23, 1990.
    (iii) If both state legislative and regulatory action are required, 
the state must submit an amended program to EPA for approval before 
September 23, 1991.
    (d) States with programs approved under this part are authorized to 
administer the state program in lieu of the federal program and will 
have primary enforcement responsibility with respect to the requirements 
of the approved program. EPA retains authority to take enforcement 
action in approved states as necessary and will notify the designated 
lead state agency of any such intended action.



Sec. 281.12  Scope and definitions.

    (a) Scope. (1) The Administrator may approve either partial or 
complete state programs. A ``partial'' state program regulates either 
solely UST systems containing petroleum or solely UST systems containing 
hazardous substances. If a ``partial'' state program is approved, EPA 
will administer the remaining part of the program. A ``complete'' state 
program regulates both petroleum and hazardous substance tanks.
    (2) EPA will administer the UST program on Indian lands, except 
where Congress has clearly expressed an intention to grant a state 
authority to regulate petroleum and hazardous substance USTs on Indian 
lands. In either case, this decision will not impair a state's ability 
to obtain program approval for petroleum and/or hazardous substances on 
non-Indian lands in accordance with this part.
    (3) Nothing in this subpart precludes a state from:
    (i) Adopting or enforcing requirements that are more stringent or 
more extensive than those required under this part; or

[[Page 552]]

    (ii) Operating a program with a greater scope of coverage than that 
required under this part. Where an approved state program has a greater 
scope of coverage than required by federal law, the additional coverage 
is not part of the federally-approved program.
    (b) Definitions. (1) The definitions in part 280 apply to all 
subparts of this part.
    (2) For the purpose of this part, the term interim approval means 
the approval received by a state program that meets the requirements in 
Sec. 281.11(c) (1) and (2) for the time period defined in 
Sec. 281.11(c)(3).
    (3) For the purposes of this part the term final approval means the 
approval received by a state program that meets the requirements in 
Sec. 281.11(b).



             Subpart B--Components of a Program Application



Sec. 281.20  Program application.

    Any state that seeks to administer a program under this part must 
submit an application containing the following parts:
    (a) A transmittal letter from the Governor of the state requesting 
program approval;
    (b) A description in accordance with Sec. 281.21 of the state 
program and operating procedures;
    (c) A demonstration of the state's procedures to ensure adequate 
enforcement;
    (d) A schedule for obtaining needed authorities under interim 
approval, where applicable;
    (e) A Memorandum of Agreement outlining roles and responsibilities 
of EPA and the implementing agency;
    (f) An Attorney General's statement in accordance with Sec. 281.25 
certifying to applicable state authorities; and
    (g) Copies of all applicable state statutes and regulations.
    Note: EPA has designed an optional application form that is 
available for use by state applicants.



Sec. 281.21  Description of state program.

    A state seeking to administer a program under this part must submit 
a description of the program it proposes to administer under state law 
in lieu of the federal program. The description of a state's existing or 
planned program must include:
    (a) The scope of the state program:
    (1) Whether the state program regulates UST systems containing 
petroleum or hazardous substances, or both;
    (2) Whether the state is applying for interim or final approval;
    (3) Whether the state program is more stringent or broader in scope 
than the federal program, and in what ways; and
    (4) Whether the state has any existing authority over Indian lands 
or has existing agreements with Indian tribes relevant to the regulation 
of underground storage tanks.
    (b) The organization and structure of the state and local agencies 
with responsibility for administering the program. The jurisdiction and 
responsibilities of all state and local implementing agencies must be 
delineated, appropriate procedures for coordination set forth, and one 
state agency designated as a ``lead agency'' to facilitate 
communications between EPA and the state.
    (c) Staff resources to carry out and enforce the required state 
program elements, both existing and planned, including the number of 
employees, agency where employees are located, general duties of the 
employees, and current limits or restrictions on hiring or utilization

of administering and enforcing the required state program elements, and 
any restrictions or limitations upon this funding.



Sec. 281.22  Procedures for adequate enforcement.

    A state must submit a description of its compliance monitoring and 
enforcement procedures, including related state administrative or 
judicial review procedures.



Sec. 281.23  Schedule for interim approval.

    For a state program that must modify its statutory or regulatory 
requirements for release detection, release reporting and investigation, 
and out-of-service or closed UST systems in order to be no less 
stringent than the federal

[[Page 553]]

requirements, the plan must include a schedule for making such changes 
and for submitting an amendment to the state application in accordance 
with Sec. 281.51.



Sec. 281.24  Memorandum of agreement.

    EPA and the approved state will negotiate a Memorandum of Agreement 
(MOA) containing proposed areas of coordination and shared 
responsibilities between the state and EPA and separate EPA and state 
roles and responsibilities in areas including, but not limited to: 
Implementation of partial state programs; enforcement; compliance 
monitoring; EPA oversight; and sharing and reporting of information. At 
the time of approval, the MOA must be signed by the Regional 
Administrator and the appropriate official of the state lead agency.



Sec. 281.25  Attorney General's statement.

    (a) A state must submit a written demonstration from the Attorney 
General that the laws and regulations of the state provide adequate 
authority to carry out the program described under Sec. 281.21 and to 
meet other requirements of this part. This statement may be signed by 
independent legal counsel for the state rather than the Attorney 
General, provided that such counsel has full authority to independently 
represent the state Agency in court on all matters pertaining to the 
state program. This statement must include citations to the specific 
statutes, administrative regulations, and where appropriate, judicial 
decisions that demonstrate adequate authority to regulate and enforce 
requirements for UST systems. State statutes and regulations cited by 
the state Attorney General must be fully effective when the program is 
approved.
    (b) If a state currently has authority over underground storage tank 
activities on Indian Lands, the statement must contain an appropriate 
analysis of the state's authority.



                Subpart C--Criteria for No-Less-Stringent



Sec. 281.30  New UST system design, construction, installation, and notification.

    In order to be considered no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal requirements for new UST system design, construction, 
installation, and notification, the state must have requirements that 
ensure all new underground storage tanks, and the attached piping in 
contact with the ground and used to convey the regulated substance 
stored in the tank, conform to the following:
    (a) Be designed, constructed, and installed in a manner that will 
prevent releases for their operating life due to manufacturing defects, 
structural failure, or corrosion.
    Note: Codes of practice developed by nationally-recognized 
organizations and national independent testing laboratories may be used 
to demonstrate that the state program requirements are no less stringent 
in this area.
    (b) Be provided with equipment to prevent spills and tank overfills 
when new tanks are installed or existing tanks are upgraded, unless the 
tank does not receive more than 25 gallons at one time.
    (c) All UST system owners and operators must notify the implementing 
state agency of the existence of any new UST system using a form 
designated by the state agency.



Sec. 281.31  Upgrading existing UST systems.

    In order to be considered no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal upgrading requirements, the state must have requirements that 
ensure existing UST systems will be replaced or upgraded before December 
22, 1998, to prevent releases for their operating life due to corrosion, 
and spills or overfills.


[[Page 554]]





Sec. 281.32  General operating requirements.

    In order to be considered no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal general operating requirements, the state must have requirements 
that ensure all new and existing UST systems conform to the following:
    (a) Prevent spills and overfills by ensuring that the space in the 
tank is sufficient to receive the volume to be transferred and that the 
transfer operation is monitored constantly;
    (b) Where equipped with cathodic protection, be operated and 
maintained by a person with sufficient training and experience in 
preventing corrosion, and in a manner that ensures that no releases 
occur during the operating life of the UST system;
    Note: Codes of practice developed by nationally-recognized 
organizations and national independent testing laboratories may be used 
to demonstrate the state program requirements are no less stringent.
    (c) Be made of or lined with materials that are compatible with the 
substance stored;
    (d) At the time of upgrade or repair, be structurally sound and 
upgraded or repaired in a manner that will prevent releases due to 
structural failure or corrosion during their operating lives;
    (e) Have records of monitoring, testing, repairs, and closure 
maintained that are sufficient to demonstrate recent facility compliance 
status, except that records demonstrating compliance with repair and 
upgrading requirements must be maintained for the remaining operating 
life of the facility. These records must be made readily available when 
requested by the implementing agency.



Sec. 281.33  Release detection.

    In order to be considered no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal requirements for release detection, the state must have 
requirements that at a minimum ensure all UST systems are provided with 
release detection that conforms to the following:
    (a) General methods. Release detection requirements for owners and 
operators must consist of a method, or combination of methods, that is:
    (1) Capable of detecting a release of the regulated substance from 
any portion of the UST system that routinely contains regulated 
substances--as effectively as any of the methods allowed under the 
federal technical standards--for as long as the UST system is in 
operation. In comparing methods, the implementing agency shall consider 
the size of release that the method can detect and the speed and 
reliability with which the release can be detected.
    (2) Designed, installed, calibrated, operated and maintained so that 
releases will be detected in accordance with the capabilities of the 
method.
    (b) Phase-in of requirements. Release detection requirements must, 
at a minimum, be scheduled to be applied at all UST systems:
    (1) Immediately when a new UST system is installed:
    (2) On an orderly schedule that completes a phase-in of release 
detection at all existing UST systems (or their closure) before December 
21, 1993, except that release detection for the piping attached to any 
existing UST that conveys a regulated substance under greater than 
atmospheric pressure must be phased-in before December 22, 1990.
    (c) Requirements for petroleum tanks. All petroleum tanks must be 
sampled, tested, or checked for releases at least monthly, except that:
    (1) New or upgraded tanks (that is, tanks and piping protected from 
releases due to corrosion and equipped with both spill and overfill 
prevention devices) may temporarily use monthly inventory control (or 
its equivalent) in combination with tightness testing (or its 
equivalent) conducted every 5 years for the first 10 years after the 
tank is installed or upgraded or until December 22, 1998, whichever is 
later; and
    (2) Existing tanks unprotected from releases due to corrosion or 
without spill and overfill prevention devices may use monthly inventory 
control (or its equivalent) in combination with annual tightness testing 
(or its equivalent) until December 22, 1998.
    (d) Requirements for petroleum piping. All underground piping 
attached to the tank that routinely conveys petroleum must conform to 
the following:
    (1) If the petroleum is conveyed under greater than atmospheric 
pressure:

[[Page 555]]

    (i) The piping must be equipped with release detection that detects 
a release within an hour by restricting or shutting off flow or sounding 
an alarm; and
    (ii) The piping must have monthly monitoring applied or annual 
tightness tests conducted.
    (2) If suction lines are used:
    (i) Tightness tests must be conducted at least once every 3 years, 
unless a monthly method of detection is applied to this piping; or
    (ii) The piping is designed to allow the contents of the pipe to 
drain back into the storage tank if the suction is released and is also 
designed to allow an inspector to immediately determine the integrity of 
the piping system.
    (e) Requirements for hazardous substance UST systems. All UST 
systems storing hazardous substances must meet the following:
    (1) All existing hazardous substance UST systems must comply with 
all the requirements for petroleum UST systems in paragraphs (c) and (d) 
of this section and after December 22, 1998, they must comply with the 
following paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
    (2) All new hazardous substance UST systems must use interstitial 
monitoring within secondary containment of the tanks and the attached 
underground piping that conveys the regulated substance stored in the 
tank, unless the owner and operator can demonstrate to the state (or the 
state otherwise determines) that another method will detect a release of 
the regulated substance as effectively as other methods allowed under 
the state program for petroleum UST systems and that effective 
corrective action technology is available for the hazardous substance 
being stored that can be used to protect human health and the 
environment.



Sec. 281.34  Release reporting, investigation, and confirmation.

    In order to be considered no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal requirements for release reporting, investigation, and 
confirmation, the state must have requirements that ensure all owners 
and operators conform with the following:
    (a) Promptly investigate all suspected releases, including:
    (1) When unusual operating conditions, release detection signals and 
environmental conditions at the site suggest a release of regulated 
substances may have occurred; and
    (2) When required by the implementing agency to determine the source 
of a release having an impact in the surrounding area; and
    (b) Promptly report all confirmed underground releases and any 
spills and overfills that are not contained and cleaned up.
    (c) Ensure that all owners and operators contain and clean up 
unreported spills and overfills in a manner that will protect human 
health and the environment.



Sec. 281.35  Release response and corrective action.

    In order to be considered no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal requirements for release response and corrective action, the 
state must have requirements that ensure:
    (a) All releases from UST systems are promptly assessed and further 
releases are stopped;
    (b) Actions are taken to identify, contain and mitigate any 
immediate health and safety threats that are posed by a release (such 
activities include investigation and initiation of free product removal, 
if present);
    (c) All releases from UST systems are investigated to determine if 
there are impacts on soil and ground water, and any nearby surface 
waters. The extent of soil and ground water contamination must be 
delineated when a potential threat to human health and the environment 
exists.
    (d) All releases from UST systems are cleaned up through soil and 
ground water remediation and any other steps, as necessary to protect 
human health and the environment;
    (e) Adequate information is made available to the state to 
demonstrate that corrective actions are taken in accordance with the 
requirements of paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section. This 
information must be submitted in a timely manner that demonstrates its 
technical adequacy to protect human health and the environment; and

[[Page 556]]

    (f) In accordance with Sec. 280.67, the state must notify the 
affected public of all confirmed releases requiring a plan for soil and 
ground water remediation, and upon request provide or make available 
information to inform the interested public of the nature of the release 
and the corrective measures planned or taken.



Sec. 281.36  Out-of-service UST systems and closure.

    In order to be considered no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal requirements for temporarily closed UST systems and permanent 
closure, the state must have requirements that ensure UST systems 
conform with the following:
    (a) Removal from service. All new and existing UST systems 
temporarily closed must:
    (1) Continue to comply with general operating requirements, release 
reporting and investigation, and release response and corrective action;
    (2) Continue to comply with release detection requirements if 
regulated substances are stored in the tank;
    (3) Be closed off to outside access; and
    (4) Be permanently closed if the UST system has not been protected 
from corrosion and has not been used in one year, unless the state 
approves an extension after the owner and operator conducts a site 
assessment.
    (b) Permanent closure of UST systems. All tanks and piping must be 
cleaned and permanently closed in a manner that eliminates the potential 
for safety hazards and any future releases. The owner or operator must 
notify the state of permanent UST system closures. The site must also be 
assessed to determine if there are any present or were past releases, 
and if so, release response and corrective action requirements must be 
complied with.
    (c) All UST systems taken out of service before the effective date 
of the federal regulations must permanently close in accordance with 
paragraph (b) of this section when directed by the implementing agency.



Sec. 281.37  Financial responsibility for UST systems containing petroleum.

    (a) In order to be considered no less stringent than the federal 
requirements for financial responsibility for UST systems containing 
petroleum, the state requirements for financial responsibility for 
petroleum UST systems must ensure that:
    (1) Owners and operators have $1 million per occurrence for 
corrective action and third-party claims in a timely manner to protect 
human health and the environment;
    (2) Owners and operators not engaged in petroleum production, 
refining, and marketing and who handle a throughput of 10,000 gallons of 
petroleum per month or less have $500,000 per occurrence for corrective 
action and third-party claims in a timely manner to protect human health 
and the environment;
    (3) Owners and operators of 1 to 100 petroleum USTs must have an 
annual aggregate of $1 million; and
    (4) Owners and operators of 101 or more petroleum USTs must have an 
annual aggregate of $2 million.
    (b) Phase-in of requirements. Financial responsibility requirements 
for petroleum UST systems must, at a minimum, be scheduled to be applied 
at all UST systems on an orderly schedule that completes a phase-in of 
the financial responsibility requirements within the time allowed in the 
Federal regulations under 40 CFR 280.91.
    (c) States may allow the use of a wide variety of financial 
assurance mechanisms to meet this requirement. Each financial mechanism 
must meet the following criteria in order to be no less stringent than 
the federal requirements. The mechanism must: Be valid and enforceable; 
be issued by a provider that is qualified or licensed in the state; not 
permit cancellation without allowing the state to draw funds; ensure 
that funds will only and directly be used for corrective action and 
third party liability costs; and require that the provider notify the 
owner or operator of any circumstances that would impair or suspend 
coverage.
    (d) States must require owners and operators to maintain records 
that demonstrate compliance with the state financial responsibility 
requirements,

[[Page 557]]

and these records must be made readily available when requested by the 
implementing agency.

Sec. 281.38  Financial responsibility for USTs containing hazardous substances. [Reserved]



Sec. 281.39  Lender liability.

    (a) A state program that contains a security interest exemption will 
be considered to be no less stringent than, and as broad in scope as, 
the federal program provided that the state's exemption:
    (1) Mirrors the security interest exemption provided for in 40 CFR 
part 280, subpart I; or
    (2) Achieves the same effect as provided by the following key 
criteria:
    (i) A holder, meaning a person who maintains indicia of ownership 
primarily to protect a security interest in a petroleum UST or UST 
system or facility or property on which a petroleum UST or UST system is 
located, who does not participate in the management of the UST or UST 
system as defined under Sec. 280.210 of this chapter, and who does not 
engage in petroleum production, refining, and marketing as defined under 
Sec. 280.200(b) of this chapter is not:
    (A) An ``owner'' of a petroleum UST or UST system or facility or 
property on which a petroleum UST or UST system is located for purposes 
of compliance with the requirements of 40 CFR part 280; or
    (B) An ``operator'' of a petroleum UST or UST system for purposes of 
compliance with the requirements of 40 CFR part 280, provided the holder 
is not in control of or does not have responsibility for the daily 
operation of the UST or UST system.

              Subpart D--Adequate Enforcement of Compliance



Sec. 281.40  Requirements for compliance monitoring program and authority.

    (a) Any authorized representative of the state engaged in compliance 
inspections, monitoring, and testing must have authority to obtain by 
request any information from an owner or operator with respect to the 
UST system(s) that is necessary to determine compliance with the 
regulations.
    (b) Any authorized representative of the state must have authority 
to require an owner or operator to conduct monitoring or testing.
    (c) Authorized representatives must have the authority to enter any 
site or premises subject to UST system regulations or in which records 
relevant to the operation of the UST system(s) are kept, and to copy 
these records, obtain samples of regulated substances, and inspect or 
conduct the monitoring or testing of UST system(s).
    (d) State programs must have procedures for receipt, evaluation, 
retention, and investigation of records and reports required of owners 
or operators and must provide for enforcement of failure to submit these 
records and reports.
    (e)(1) State programs must have inspection procedures to determine, 
independent of information supplied by regulated persons, compliance 
with program requirements, and must provide for enforcement of failure 
to comply with the program requirements. States must maintain a program 
for systematic inspections of facilities subject to regulations in a 
manner designed to determine compliance or non-compliance, to verify 
accuracy of information submitted by owners or operators of regulated 
USTs, and to verify adequacy of methods used by owners or operators in 
developing that information.
    (2) When inspections are conducted, samples taken, or other 
information gathered, these procedures must be conducted in a manner 
(for example,

[[Page 558]]

using proper ``chain of custody'' procedures) that will produce evidence 
admissible in an enforcement proceeding, or in court.
    (f) Public effort in reporting violations must be encouraged and the 
state enforcement agency(ies) must make available information on 
reporting procedures. State programs must maintain a program for 
investigating information obtained from the public about suspected 
violations of UST program requirements.
    (g) The state program must maintain the data collected through 
inspections and evaluation of records in such a manner that the 
implementing agency can monitor over time the compliance status of the 
regulated community. Any compilation, index, or inventory of such 
facilities and activities shall be made available to EPA upon request.



Sec. 281.41  Requirements for enforcement authority.

    (a) Any state agency administering a program must have the authority 
to implement the following remedies for violations of state program 
requirements:
    (1) To restrain immediately and effectively any person by order or 
by suit in state court from engaging in any unauthorized activity that 
is endangering or causing damage to public health or the environment;
    (2) To sue in courts of competent jurisdiction to enjoin any 
threatened or continuing violation of any program requirement;
    (3) To assess or sue to recover in court civil penalties as follows:
    (i) Civil penalties for failure to notify or for submitting false 
information pursuant to tank notification requirements must be capable 
of being assessed up to $5,000 or more per violation.
    (ii) Civil penalties for failure to comply with any state 
requirements or standards for existing or new tank systems must be 
capable of being assessed for each instance of violation, up to $5,000 
or more for each tank for each day of violation. If the violation is 
continuous, civil penalties shall be capable of being assessed up to 
$5,000 or more for each day of violation.
    (b) The burden of proof and degree of knowledge or intent required 
under state law for establishing violations under paragraph (a)(3) of 
this section, must be no greater than the burden of proof or degree of 
knowledge or intent that EPA must provide when it brings an action under 
Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
    (c) A civil penalty assessed, sought, or agreed upon by the state 
enforcement agency(ies) under paragraph (a)(3) of this section must be 
appropriate to the violation.



Sec. 281.42  Requirements for public participation.

    Any state administering a program must provide for public 
participation in the state enforcement process by providing any one of 
the following three options:
    (a) Authority that allows intervention analogous to Federal Rule 
24(a)(2), and assurance by the appropriate state enforcement agency that 
it will not oppose intervention under the state analogue to Rule 
24(a)(2) on the ground that the applicant's interest is adequately 
represented by the State.
    (b) Authority that allows intervention as of right in any civil 
action to obtain the remedies specified in Sec. 281.41 by any citizen 
having an interest that is or may be adversely affected; or
    (c) Assurance by the appropriate state agency that:
    (1) It will provide notice and opportunity for public comment on all 
proposed settlements of civil enforcement actions (except where 
immediate action is necessary to adequately protect human health and the 
environment);
    (2) It will investigate and provide responses to citizen complaints 
about violations; and
    (3) It will not oppose citizen intervention when permissive 
intervention is allowed by statute, rule, or regulation.



Sec. 281.43  Sharing of information.

    (a) States with approved programs must furnish EPA, upon request, 
any information in state files obtained or used in the administration of 
the state program. This information includes:
    (1) Any information submitted to the state under a claim of 
confidentiality.

[[Page 559]]

The state must submit that claim to EPA when providing such information. 
Any information obtained from a state and subject to a claim of 
confidentiality will be treated in accordance with federal regulations 
in 40 CFR part 2; and
    (2) Any information that is submitted to the state without a claim 
of confidentiality. EPA may make this information available to the 
public without further notice.

Sec. 281.50  Approval procedures for state programs.

    (a) The following procedures are required for all applications, 
regardless of whether the application is for a partial or complete 
program, as defined in Sec. 281.12, or for interim or final approval in 
accordance with Sec. 281.11.
    (b) Before submitting an application to EPA for approval of a state 
program, the state must provide an opportunity for public notice and 
comment in the development of its underground storage tank program.
    (c) When EPA receives a state program application, EPA will examine 
the application and notify the state whether its application is 
complete, in accordance with the application components required in 
Sec. 281.20. The 180-day statutory review period begins only after EPA 
has determined that a complete application has been received.
    (d) The state and EPA may by mutual agreement extend the review 
period.
    (e) After receipt of a complete program application, the 
Administrator will tentatively determine approval or disapproval of the 
state program. EPA shall issue public notice of the tentative 
determination in the Federal Register; in enough of the largest 
newspapers in the state to attract statewide attention; and to persons 
on the state agency mailing list and any other persons who the agency 
has reason to believe are interested. Notice of the tentative 
determination must also:
    (1) Afford the public 30 days after the notice to comment on the 
state's application and the Administrator's tentative determination; and
    (2) Include a general statement of the areas of concern, if the 
Administrator indicates the state program may not be approved; and
    (3) Note the availability for inspection by the public of the state 
program application; and
    (4) Indicate that a public hearing will be held by EPA no earlier 
than 30 days after notice of the tentative determination unless 
insufficient public interest is expressed, at which time the Regional 
Administrator may cancel the public hearing.
    (f) Within 180 days of receipt of a complete state program 
application, the Administrator must make a final determination whether 
to approve the state program after review of all public comments. EPA 
will give notice of its determination in the Federal Register and codify 
the approved state program. The notice must include a statement of the 
reasons for this determination and a response to significant comments 
received.



Sec. 281.51  Amendment required at end of interim period.

    (a) State programs that meet the requirements of section 281.11(c) 
(1) and (2) may be approved for 1 to 3 years from September 23, 1988. 
States that receive such interim approval must adopt requirements that 
are no less stringent than the corresponding federal requirements and 
standards within the timeframes specified under Sec. 281.11(c)(3).
    (b) By the end of the specified time period, a state with interim 
approval must submit to EPA an amendment to its application that 
includes all modified and new requirements for any of the elements 
containing less stringent requirements. Such amended applications must 
also include a modified program description, an Attorney General's 
statement and a Memorandum of

[[Page 560]]

Agreement that incorporate the amended program requirements, and copies 
of all applicable state statutes and regulations.
    (c) Upon receipt of the application amendment, the Administrator 
shall follow the same review and approval procedures as required in 
Sec. 281.50.
    (d) If a state fails to submit an amendment within the specified 
timeframe, the interim approval of the state program expires upon the 
applicable date established under Sec. 281.11(c), and the Subtitle I 
program automatically reverts to EPA.
    (e) If a state submits an amendment to the program application 
within the timeframe specified under Sec. 281.11(c)(3) and the amendmant 
is disapproved after the end of the time period, the interim approval of 
the state program expires immediately upon disapproval and the Subtitle 
I program automatically reverts to EPA.
    (f) If interim approval of the state program expires, EPA must 
notify the regulated community and the public of the re-establishment of 
the federal program through a notice in the Federal Register.



Sec. 281.52  Revision of approved state programs.

    (a) Either EPA or the approved state may initiate program revision. 
Program revision may be necessary when the controlling federal or state 
statutory or regulatory authority is changed or when responsibility for 
the state program is shifted to a new agency or agencies. The state must 
inform EPA of any proposed modifications to its basic statutory or 
regulatory authority or change in division of responsibility among state 
agencies. EPA will determine in each case whether a revision of the 
approved program is required.
    (b) Whenever the Administrator has reason to believe that 
circumstances have changed with respect to an approved state program or 
the federal program, the Administrator may request, and the state must 
provide, a revised application as prescribed by EPA.
    (c) The Administrator will approve or disapprove program revisions 
based on the requirements of this part and of subtitle I pursuant to the 
procedures under this section, or under section 281.50 if EPA has reason 
to believe the proposed revision will receive significant negative 
comment from the public.
    (1) The Administrator must issue public notice of planned approval 
or disapproval of a state program revision in the Federal Register; in 
enough of the largest newspapers in the state to attract statewide 
attention; and by mailing to persons on the state agency mailing list 
and to any other persons who the agency has reason to believe are 
interested. The public notice must summarize the state program revision, 
indicate whether EPA intends to approve or disapprove the revision, and 
provide for an opportunity to comment for a period of 30 days.
    (2) The Administrator's decision on the proposed revision becomes 
effective 60 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register 
in accordance with paragraph (c)(1) of this section, unless significant 
negative comment opposing the proposed revision is received during the 
comment period. If significant negative comment is received, EPA must

           Subpart F--Withdrawal of Approval of State Programs



Sec. 281.60  Criteria for withdrawal of approval of state programs.

    (a) The Administrator may withdraw program approval when the Agency 
determines that a state no longer has adequate regulatory or statutory 
authority or is not administering and enforcing an approved program in 
accordance with this part. The state must

[[Page 561]]

have adequate capability to administer and enforce the state program. In 
evaluating whether such capability exists, the Agency will consider 
whether the state is implementing an adequate enforcement program by 
evaluating the quality of compliance monitoring and enforcement actions.
    (b) Such withdrawal of approval will occur only after the state 
fails to take appropriate action within a reasonable time, not to exceed 
120 days after notice from the Administrator that the state is not 
administering and enforcing its program in accordance with the 
requirements of this part.



Sec. 281.61  Procedures for withdrawal of approval of state programs.

    (a) The following procedures apply when a state with an approved 
program voluntarily transfers to EPA those program responsibilities 
required by federal law.
    (1) The state must give EPA notice of the proposed transfer, and 
submit, at least 90 days before the transfer, a plan for the orderly 
transfer of all relevant program information necessary for EPA to 
administer the program.
    (2) Within 30 days of receiving the state's transfer plan, EPA must 
evaluate the plan and identify any additional information needed by the 
federal government for program administration.
    (3) At least 30 days before the transfer is to occur, EPA must 
publish notice of the transfer in the Federal Register; in enough of the 
largest newspapers in the state to attract statewide attention; and to 
persons on appropriate state mailing lists.
    (b) When EPA begins proceedings to determine whether to withdraw 
approval of a state program (either on its own initiative or in response 
to a petition from an interested person), withdrawal proceedings must be 
conducted in accordance with procedures set out in 40 CFR 271.23 (b) and 
(c), except for Sec. 271.23(b)(8)(iii) to the extent that it deviates 
from requirements under Sec. 281.60.
