slide-11
SLIDE 11

Various “Minor” Changes

˃ “VSQG” (Very Small Quantity Generator) replaces

“CESQG”

˃ “Central Accumulation Area” defined

 Storage vs. central accumulation  Central vs. satellite accumulation

˃ Miscellaneous “improvements”

 Corrections, Clarifications  New definitions  Deleting outdated and obsolete provisions

˃ Cumulative effect of many relatively minor changes =

Potentially significant effort for generators to come into initial compliance

slide-12
SLIDE 12

“Less Stringent” Provisions

˃ Episodic generators ˃ VSQG consolidation option ˃ 50-foot waiver for ignitable /

reactive waste HOWEVER!

˃ Not in effect until adopted in your state ˃ States are NOT required to adopt “less

stringent” provisions

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Episodic Generation

˃ Episodic event

 Planned or unplanned activity, that does not normally occur

during generator operations, resulting in an increase in the generation of hazardous wastes that exceeds the calendar month quantity limits for the generator's usual category.

˃ Planned episodic event

 Planned and prepared for:

♦e.g., regular maintenance, tank cleanouts, short-term projects,

and removal of excess chemical inventory

˃ Unplanned episodic event

 Unplanned and reasonably did not expect to occur

♦e.g., production process upsets, product recalls, accidental spills,

“acts of nature” such as tornado, hurricane, flood

slide-14
SLIDE 14
slide-15
SLIDE 15

Episodic Generators

˃ Valuable option for facilities with occasional temporary

surge in hazardous waste generation

˃ 40 CFR 262 Subpart L (262.230-233) ˃ Generator can remain at existing (VSQG, SQG) category

during episodic generation, with the following conditions:

 Notify Agency at least 30-days in advance

♦(or within 72 hours for unplanned episode)

 Complete the episodic event within 60-days

♦No extensions

 Only one planned episodic event per year

♦Can petition for second (unplanned) event ♦No more than 2 episodic events/year

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Episodic Generators, cont.

˃ VSQG (CESQG) must also comply with SQG waste

management provisions and maintain records

 Obtain USEPA ID Number  Use hazardous waste manifest and transporter to ship to

RCRA TSDF or recycler

 Manage in a way that minimizes potential for accident or

release

 Label episodic waste containers

♦“Episodic Hazardous Waste” ♦Identify hazards of contents

 Identify an emergency coordinator at the generator facility  Maintain records

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Episodic Generators, cont.

˃ SQG must comply with existing SQG regulations

 Label episodic waste containers

♦“Episodic Hazardous Waste” ♦Identify hazards of contents

 Use hazardous waste manifest and transporter to ship to

RCRA TSDF or recycler

 Maintain records of episodic event

˃ CONDITIONAL! All conditions must be met to retain

the episodic generation conditional management benefit

 If one or more conditions is not met, automatically revert to

higher generator category

slide-18
SLIDE 18

VSQG (CESQG) Consolidation Option

˃ Allows company to consolidate VSQG wastes at their

  • wn LQG facility

 40 CFR 262.14(a)(5)(viii)

˃ Benefits companies with multiple locations

 At least one location is LQG  At least one location is VSQG  LQG does not need to be a permitted TSDF  Must be under control of the same “person,” as defined

under RCRA

 “Control” is the power to direct policies at the facility

˃ NOT APPLICABLE to SQGs

slide-19
SLIDE 19

VSQG Consolidation Option

˃ VSQG Responsibilities:

 Mark and label containers as “Hazardous Waste”  Indicate hazards of the contents  Ship/transport in accordance with applicable regulations

♦DOT compliance if shipped on public roadway ♦No hazardous waste manifest required and hazardous waste

transporters do not have to be used

slide-20
SLIDE 20

VSQG Consolidation Option

˃ LQG Responsibilities (found at 262.17(f))

 Notification (via Site ID Form) of participation in the program

(including info for all VSQGs participating)

♦USEPA Form 8700-12 recently revised

 Recordkeeping for each shipment

♦Maintain for 3 years

 Manage consolidated waste as LQG hazardous waste

♦Start date of accumulation = date received from VSQG

 Include in Biennial (Annual) Report

♦Will include new source code

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Ignitable and Reactive Wastes

˃ 50-foot waiver

 Benefits facilities with narrow or odd-

shaped properties, or with limited space for hazardous waste accumulation

 Current rule

♦Ignitable and reactive wastes are prohibited

from storage within 50-feet of the property line

 New allowance

♦Can request site-specific waiver from the local

fire authority if unable to meet the 50-foot restriction

♦Written waiver required ♦Agency delegates responsibility for waiver to

local fire “authority having jurisdiction”

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Waste Determinations

˃ Must accurately document hazardous waste

determinations (§262.11(f))

 Applies to SQGs and LQGs  Applies at point of generation – before diluted, treated,

mixed, or otherwise altered

 Does not apply to exempted wastes (although separate

recordkeeping may be required)

 Does not specifically apply to non-hazardous wastes

(although recommended as a best management practice)

˃ Using knowledge to determine waste characteristics

 Moves from 262.11(c)(2) to 262.11(d)(2)  Lists types of knowledge previously accepted by USEPA  Specifically allows alternative tests as part of knowledge

slide-23
SLIDE 23

LQG Contingency Plans

˃ LQG Contingency Plans must have a “quick reference guide”

with most critical information (262.261(d))

 Contents of “quick reference guide”

♦Types/names of hazardous waste and associated hazards ♦Estimated maximum amounts of hazardous wastes ♦Hazardous wastes requiring unique/special treatment ♦Map showing where hazardous wastes are generated, accumulated or

treated at the facility

♦Map of facility and surroundings to identify routes of access and

evacuation

♦Location of water supply ♦Identification of on-site notification systems ♦Name of emergency coordinator(s) or listed staffed position(s) and 7/24-

hour emergency telephone number(s)

 Submit with first Contingency Plan or with first revision following

effective date of the rule

˃ Emergency Coordinator contact information no longer

required to include home phone number and home address

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Emergency Preparedness & Planning

˃ Arrangements with Local Emergency Responders

 Must document attempts to make arrangements with

responders

♦Whether or not successful arrangements were made ♦Regulation is flexible on the acceptable types of documentation and on

the location where that documentation is retained

♦Waiver option for facilities with on-site response capabilities

˃ Preparedness and Prevention provisions have been

relocated and clarified

♦What emergency equipment is required, and where ♦Must address all areas where hazardous waste is generated and/or

managed

 LQG Information at 40 CFR 262 Subpart M  SQG Information at 40 CFR 262.16(b)(8)

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Marking/Labeling Requirements

˃ Applies to all SQGs, LQGs, Transporters ˃ Label must indicate

 The words “Hazardous Waste”  Identification of hazards NEW

♦Choice of established methods: DOT

, OSHA, NFPA, …

 Add all waste codes (prior to shipment) NEW

♦May use recognized electronic option

– e.g., bar codes

♦Exception for lab packs

 Accumulation start date

˃ For vessels that can’t be labeled (e.g., some tanks,

drip pads, containment buildings)

 Info can be in records or logs kept at or near the location

  • f the vessel
slide-26
SLIDE 26

Satellite Accumulation Provisions

˃ Satellite accumulation area regulations for SQG and LQG

(New section at 40 CFR 262.15)

˃ Containerized wastes must be compatible with each other

and container itself, while in satellite accumulation

˃ Three-day requirement to move containers from satellite

accumulation means three calendar days

˃ Certain containers in SAA allowed to remain open under very

limited circumstances

 When necessary for safe operations – EXTREMELY limited

exception

˃ Marking and labeling consistent with central accumulation

areas

 Except date of accumulation – not required until full or closed and

removed

˃ Reactive waste satellite accumulation away from the point

  • f generation – no longer allowed
slide-27
SLIDE 27

Closure

˃ Closure of all generator central accumulation units must

meet closure performance standards (i.e. “clean close”)

 Existing LQG requirement extended to container accumulation units  Can defer (with appropriate notice) until full facility closure

˃ Closure requirements for LQG Container Accumulation Areas

that cannot clean close

 Must close as landfill  Place notice in operating record within 30-days after closing a unit

within a facility that cannot meet closure performance standards (or notify Agency that closure performance standards have been met)

 Notify Agency no later than 30-days prior to closing a facility  Notify Agency within 90-days after closure of a facility that cannot

clean close

˃ Note that there are separate provisions for closure of a HW

unit such as taking a HW tank, within a larger HW tank farm,

  • ut of service or when replacing a HW tank.
slide-28
SLIDE 28

“Independent Requirements” vs. “Condition for Exemption”

˃ 40 CFR 262.1 defines “independent requirement” and

“condition for exemption”

˃ 40 CFR 262.10(a) explains significance of those

distinctions

˃ This clarifies long-standing USEPA policy:

 Violation of an independent requirement

is subject to traditional enforcement paths (NOVpenaltyreturn to compliance)

 Noncompliance with an optional

exemption condition results in “full regulation” as per the underlying independent requirements

slide-29
SLIDE 29

“Independent Requirements” vs. “Condition for Exemption”

˃ Example: Fred’s Fabulous Little Chemical Company, an SQG,

has a spill and notifies that they will be using the episodic generator provisions

 Fred neglects to arrange for shipment of the episodic generated

waste, and it sits at the facility for 100-days before finally being shipped off-site

 At day 61, the episodic generator condition (remove within 60-

days) has been violated, so Fred’s Fabulous Little Chemical Company reverts to being a LQG, subject to full LQG regulation

 At day 91, the LQG accumulation timeframe (90-days) has also

been exceeded, so the facility reverts to being an unpermitted hazardous waste storage facility, subject to full TSDF regulation

 NOTE: Most agencies will exercise “ enforcement discret ion”

unless t he sit uat ion is recurrent or poses severe risk

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Status and Implementation

˃ Kentucky hazardous waste regulations codified under

401 KAR 39

 The updated federal rules were incorporated into Kentucky’s

regulations on December 7, 2017

˃ Illinois adopted the rules in late 2018, 35 IAC 722

 Some differences in approval process for Episodic generation

˃ Indiana expects to preliminarily adopt in May and rules

to be effective early 2020

˃ Ohio expected to adopt rules in 2019

slide-31
SLIDE 31

GIR - Indiana

˃ Must be effective in a state to take advantage of new

provisions

 Example: Consolidation of CESQG (VSQG) Waste at LQGs

♦VSQG and LQG must both be in states where rules are effective.

 Episodic Generation  50-foot waiver for ignitable / reactive waste

˃ IDEM is OK with utilizing more stringent provisions

provided current rules also met

˃ IDEM is working on a separate rulemaking on the

Definition of Solid Waste

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Current Status of GIR Adoption

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Case Studies of Revised Rule

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Episodic Generation Case (1/5)

˃ Situation: A VSQG of hazardous waste is planning to

clean out its laboratory. Typically, the site generates ~50 kg/month of hazardous waste. Designating the laboratory chemicals destined for disposal as wastes will increase its monthly hazardous waste total to ~150 kg

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Episodic Generation Case (2/5)

˃ Under previous rule, this would have triggered the site’s

re-designation as a SQG.

˃ Under revised rule, 40 CFR 262 Subpart L establishes a

way to maintain VSQG status:

 Notify agency at least 30 days in advance  Ship waste off-site within 60 days of start of episodic event

(no extensions)

 Limit to one planned event per year (up to one unplanned

event also allowed)

slide-36
SLIDE 36

Episodic Generation Case (3/5)

˃ 40 CFR 262 Subpart L (cont.):

 Manage wastes in accordance with SQG requirements,

including but not limited to:

♦Obtain EPA ID number ♦Satisfy container/tank requirements:

– Label containers/tanks with “Episodic Hazardous Waste”, indication of hazards, and date episodic event began – Keep inventory logs/records for tanks – Implement procedures to prevent tank overflow – Inspect tanks once each operating day – Containers must be in good condition and compatible with waste – Containers must be closed, except when adding/removing waste

♦Manage wastes to minimize fire, explosion, or release ♦Comply with HW manifest provisions ♦Maintain required records for 3 years

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Episodic Generation Case (4/5)

˃ What did we forget to take into account?

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Episodic Generation Case (4/5)

˃ Verify that none of the lab materials are Acute HW with

a ≤ 1 kg limit

˃ This could trip LQG status, since there is no SQG status

for Acute HW

slide-39
SLIDE 39

VSQG Consolidation Case (1/4)

˃ Situation: A company has five (5) facilities classified as

VSQGs of hazardous waste. These sites each generate buckets of liquid waste on a regular basis, which may not be sent to the landfill. This leads to costly disposal arrangements for a site that would not otherwise need to use a HW disposal facility. The company also

  • perates a LQG in the same area.
slide-40
SLIDE 40

VSQG Consolidation Case (2/4)

˃ Under previous rule, this liquid waste could not be sent

to a LQG under the control of the same company.

˃ Under revised rule, this waste can be consolidated at

the LQG facility:

 The LQG does not need to be a permitted TSDF  No manifest required  No requirement to use a HW transporter  VSQG must mark and label the containers as HW and indicate

the specific hazards

 Must transport the wastes in accordance with applicable DOT

regulations if shipped on a public roadway

slide-41
SLIDE 41

VSQG Consolidation Case (3/4)

˃ What questions did we forget to ask here?

slide-42
SLIDE 42

VSQG Consolidation Case (4/4)

˃ Are all of the VSQGs in the same state as the LQG? ˃ Why does that matter?

 Not all states have adopted the Generator Improvements

Rule, and states are not required to adopt the “less stringent” provisions. Both VSQG and LQG states must have adopted these provisions.

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Episodic Generation and VSQG Consolidation

˃ Question: Can a VSQG generate waste under the

“Episodic” generation provisions and then send it to a LQG under the “Consolidation” provisions?

˃ No, the waste generated under the episodic provisions

makes the facility “temporarily” SQG. Only VSQG waste can be “consolidated”.

FACT SHEET:

LQG HAZARDOUS WASTE ACCUMULATION AREA CLOSURE

40 CFR 262.17(a)(8) states “A large quantity generator accumulating hazardous wastes in containers, tanks, drip pads, and containment buildings, prior to closing a unit at the facility, or prior to closing the facility, must meet the following conditions:” These conditions are listed below (and do not apply to satellite accumulation areas):

  • A. When closing a waste accumulation unit: A large quantity generator must do
  • ne of the following:
  • 1. Place a notice in the operating record within 30 days after closure identifying the

location of the unit within the facility; OR

  • 2. Meet the closure performance standards of C. below for container, tank, and

containment building waste accumulation units, or D. below for drip pads. AND ALSO notify KY HWB following the procedures in B. below. (NOTE: If the waste accumulation unit is subsequently reopened, the generator may remove the notice from the operating record.)

  • B. When closing a waste accumulation facility: A large quantity generator must:
  • 1. Notify KY HWB using form 8700-12 plus the KY Addendum DWM 7037A, no

later than 30 days prior to closing the facility

  • 2. Notify KY HWB using form 8700-12 plus the KY Addendum DWM 7037A, within

90 days after closing the facility that it has complied with the applicable closure performance standards of C. or D. below. However, if the facility cannot meet the applicable closure performance standards of C. or D. below, then notify KY HWB using form 8700-12 plus the KY Addendum DWM 7037A, that it will close as a landfill under 40 CFR 265.310 (in the case of a container, tank or containment building unit(s)), or 40 CFR 265.445(b) (in the case of drip pads).

  • 3. A large quantity generator may request additional time to clean close, but it must

notify KY HWB using form 8700-12 plus the KY Addendum DWM 7037A, within 75 days after the date provided in A. or B. above to request an extension and provide an explanation as to why the additional time is required.

  • C. CLOSURE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (for containers, tank systems, and

containment building waste accumulation units) The Large Quantity Generator must close the waste accumulation unit or facility in a manner that:

  • Discarded chemicals

Original Universal Wastes

  • Lamps
  • Rechargeable batteries

Regulations Landscape & Response

  • Other states were beginning to add to their state

specific universal waste lists

  • US EPA was reviewing the definition of solid waste,

creating a new category for “Excluded Solvent Contaminated Wipes”, and making other adjustments to reduce regulatory burdens in managing hazardous wastes

  • Navistar saw an opportunity become a Small

Quantity Generator of Hazardous wastes

  • Regulatory footprint reduction effort - also working to

eliminate sources and simplify our air pollution, wastewater and stormwater permits

69

slide-82
SLIDE 82

, Inc.

The Road to Change

  • Navistar wrote to Ohio EPA Director (circa 2007)

requesting that Ohio implement new universal waste rules similar to Texas

  • More specific and limited changes such as

excluded solvent contaminated wipes were successfully implemented

  • US EPA was changing the definition of solid

wastes in rulemaking but courts were holding up

  • r turning back some of the changes

70

slide-83
SLIDE 83

, Inc.

Two Tracks

  • Ohio Manufacturers Association joined in the

request (circa 2012) and Ohio EPA began an evaluation of state specific universal wastes

  • About the same time US EPA finalized rules

changing the definition of solid wastes (2008- 2015). Ohio EPA did not have the resources to work on both and continued to work on the universal wastes.

  • Courts delayed again the US EPA regulations

but the Ohio specific universal waste rules were implemented and effective December 2017.

71

, Inc.

Navistar’s Goals

  • Reduce costs and liabilities associated with

managing wastes without compromising the environment

– Use pollution prevention strategies to reduce volumes and toxicities of wastes generated – Seek recycling opportunities before treatment or disposal – Make use of reclassification of wastes to less restrictive categories

72

slide-85
SLIDE 85

, Inc.

Navistar’s Wastes

  • Paint purge solvent accounted for >95 percent of

hazardous waste generated - recycled off-site

  • Most remaining hazardous wastes were other

paint-related wastes sent to fuel blending

  • Small quantities of unpunctured aerosol cans,

discarded chemicals, lab packs, adsorbents

  • The greatest change had to be purge solvent

73

slide-86
SLIDE 86

, Inc.

Pollution Prevention

  • Many opportunities implemented in the past

– Reductions in quantity of purge required during color changes on the paint line, in loading the paint, left

  • ver in the color pots

– Change in the purge solvent eliminated the F codes so that it was only a D001 hazardous waste

74

slide-87
SLIDE 87

, Inc.

Reduce quantity disposed

  • Investigated opportunities to increase recycling

– A chlorine-containing VOC-exempt solvent in the purged chassis paint prevented additional recycling with our supplier.

  • Aerosol can puncturing device

– Cans can be processed as scrap metal and only the fluids and carbon filters will require disposal as a hazardous waste.

75

slide-88
SLIDE 88

, Inc.

The Road to Small Quantity Generator Status

  • Survey of wastes and opportunities as described

in prior slides

  • Campus-wide search for expired or unneeded

chemicals to dispose BEFORE becoming SQG

– Did not want to exceed the LQG threshold later – Better inventory management afterwards

from hazardous to universal wastes

, Inc.

Reclassification of Wastes

  • Managing paint, paint purge solvent, flammable

paint debris as Ohio universal wastes

  • Managing aerosol cans as Ohio universal

wastes and the collected residues as hazardous waste

– If only paint aerosol cans were in the collected waste this could still be a universal paint waste but not if mixed with non-paint related aerosol cans

  • Already Managed rags and alcohol wipes as

excluded solvent contaminated wipes

78

Change Waste Generator Status Form 8700-12 sent to Ohio EPA

  • Change from Hazardous Waste Large Quantity

Generator to Small Quantity Generator.

– Actual generation has been at a rate that would qualify for CESQG but have registered as a SQG

  • Change from Universal Waste Small Quantity

Handler to Large Quantity Handler

  • Annual training for hazardous waste employees
  • Biennial report
  • Hazardous waste minimization plan
  • Volatile hazardous waste piping inspections
  • Documented weekly inspections in large

accumulation areas that only store universal waste

  • More time for handling on-site remaining

hazardous wastes and universal wastes

Reclassification Changes that reduce costs, time or liability

  • Open box of universal

waste lamps stored in a closed cabinet instead of having every box closed

  • Reduced number of

labelling & handling requirements for

  • perators in departments

generating the wastes

Other Changes that reduce costs, time or liability of non-compliance

  • Reduced number of rental solvent tanks
  • Less expensive disposal of solvent

contaminated wipes (compared to hazardous)

Is Reduced Liability Real? – Navistar paid fines in another state

  • Navistar RCRA LQG Site Inspection
  • Stored one container in the hazardous waste storage area for greater than

90 days without first obtaining a permit requesting extension

  • Did not mark hazardous waste containers with the applicable EPA

hazardous waste numbers

  • Did not mark with the words “Hazardous Waste” describing the contents of

the aerosol cans satellite accumulation container

  • Did not post signs “Danger – Unauthorized Personnel – Keep Out” at any of

the entrances to the hazardous waste storage area

  • Did not maintain at the site job descriptions for all employees that handled

hazardous waste.

  • Did not provide adequate isle space between containers
  • Did not place all universal waste lamps and containers and keep those

containers closed. One box of universal waste lamps was not closed

  • Most of these would either have less restrictive requirements or no

requirements for handling universal wastes and or for a SQG of hazardous wastes

Required versus options

  • Navistar continues using best practices in the

hazardous waste rules but there is not a regulatory consequence if an inspection for universal waste is missed or if a plan that meets internal needs doesn’t meet exact requirements

  • f a hazardous waste rule
  • In a union shop with mobility in jobs, it reduces

the need to spend time on training for hazardous waste requirements during annual refresher training

Some costs / requirements don’t go away

  • Treatment & disposal costs don’t change
  • Reclassified Ohio universal wastes disposed out of state - still

requires a Hazardous Waste Manifest in order to ship it to the

  • ther state where it is regulated as hazardous waste.

Slowly accumulate solvent wipes better to classify them as hazardous waste to use Full date Mix and Match – Aerosol cans universal until drum is full. Then puncture cans and solvents are marked hazardous waste NOT universal paint waste (due to time limits and non-paint aerosol cans)

Definition of Solid Waste …in progress

  • The definition of solid waste rules still provide great opportunities

and provide more uniformity between states.

  • Michigan has already enacted. The Universal Waste Paint

Relate Waste Purge Solvent is shipped to Michigan where it is classified as a Paint Related Materials on a Hazardous Waste Manifest noting that it is an Ohio Specific Universal Waste!

  • Once Ohio adopts the same rules, Navistar will change from

Universal Waste LQH to SQH.

Don’t like the rules? Change them!

  • When President Trump was elected he asked

industry what rules were unnecessary or should be changed

  • We ask ourselves that question often…and act on it

from the plant level, not corporate.

– Direct comments when Ohio has rulemaking (Ohio must review and update rules every five years) – Comments during permit development before and during Public Comment – Direct letters to EPA Administrators – Working groups at EPA – Working groups at trade associations
