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”
˃ 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
˃ 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

LQG Information at 40 CFR 262 Subpart M SQG Information at 40 CFR 262.16(b)(8)
˃ 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
˃ 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
˃ 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,
˃ 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 (NOVpenaltyreturn to compliance)
Noncompliance with an optional
exemption condition results in “full regulation” as per the underlying independent requirements
˃ 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
˃ 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
˃ 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
˃ 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
˃ 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)
˃ 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
˃ What did we forget to take into account?
˃ 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
˃ 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
˃ 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
˃ What questions did we forget to ask here?
˃ 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.
˃ 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”.

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):
location of the unit within the facility; OR
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.)
later than 30 days prior to closing the facility
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).
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.

any remaining hazardous waste residues from waste accumulation units including containment system components (pads, liners, etc.), contaminated soils and subsoils, bases, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste, unless 40 CFR 261.3(d) applies. AND
unit(s) accumulating hazardous waste must be managed in accordance with all applicable standards of parts 262, 263, 265 and 268 of this chapter, including removing any hazardous waste contained in these units within 90 days of generating it and managing these wastes in a RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste permitted treatment, storage and disposal facility or interim status facility. AND
practicably removed or decontaminated as required in C.2., then the waste accumulation unit is considered to be a landfill and the generator must close the waste accumulation unit and perform post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure care requirements that apply to landfills (§265.310 of this chapter). In addition, for the purposes of closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility, such a waste accumulation unit is then considered to be a landfill, and the generator must meet all of the requirements for landfills specified in subparts G and H of part 265 of this chapter.
