Workshop B But Wait! Theres More Waste Rules are Changing, Again and Again Tuesday, March 26, 2019 9:45 a.m. to 11 a.m . Biographical Information Christa Oerly Russell, Manager of Consulting Services Trinity Consultants, Indianapolis,


  1. VSQG (CESQG) Consolidation Option ˃ Allows company to consolidate VSQG wastes at their own 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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”

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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)

  8. 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 of the vessel

  9. 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 of generation – no longer allowed

  10. 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, out of service or when replacing a HW tank.

  11. “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

  12. “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

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. Current Status of GIR Adoption

  16. Case Studies of Revised Rule

  17. 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

  18. 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)

  19. 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

  20. Episodic Generation Case (4/5) ˃ What did we forget to take into account?

  21. 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

  22. 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 operates a LQG in the same area.

  23. 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

  24. VSQG Consolidation Case (3/4) ˃ What questions did we forget to ask here?

  25. 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.

  26. 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”.

  51. 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 one 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: KY HWB = Kentucky Hazardous Waste Branch in the Division of Waste Management, 300 Sower Blvd, 2 nd Floor, Frankfort, Ky 40601 Form 8700-12 & KY Addendum DWM 7037A can be found here http://waste.ky.gov/HWB/Pages/HWBforms.aspx

  52. 1. Minimizes the need for further maintenance by controlling, minimizing, or eliminating, to the extent necessary to protect human health and the environment, the post-closure escape of hazardous waste, hazardous constituents, leachate, contaminated run-off, or hazardous waste decomposition products to the ground or surface waters or to the atmosphere AND 2. Removes or decontaminates all contaminated equipment, structures and soil and 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 3. Any hazardous waste generated in the process of closing either the facility or 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 4. If the generator demonstrates that any contaminated soils and wastes cannot be 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. D. CLOSURE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (for drip pad waste accumulation units) The Large Quantity Generator must close the waste accumulation unit or facility by completing the following: 1. Same requirements as in B. above AND 2. Same requirements as in C.1. and C.3. above AND 3.

  60. Navistar Case Study: Reclassifying Wastes …the Road to SQG Status Tim McDaniel, EHS Manager , Inc.

  61. From Hazardous Waste Large Quantity Generator to Small Quantity Generator & Universal Waste Large Quantity Handler and soon to Universal Small Quantity Handler , Inc.

  62. Springfield Truck Assembly Plant , Inc. 67

  63. 68 Waste Classifications at Springfield Hazardous Wastes Original Universal Wastes • Solvent based paints • Lamps • Solvents • Rechargeable batteries • Paint debris with a low flashpoint • Aerosol cans • Solvent soaked wipes • Discarded chemicals , Inc.

  64. 69 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 , Inc.

  65. 70 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 or turning back some of the changes , Inc.

  66. 71 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. , Inc.

  67. 72 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 , Inc.

  68. 73 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 , Inc.

  69. 74 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 over in the color pots – Change in the purge solvent eliminated the F codes so that it was only a D001 hazardous waste , Inc.

  70. 75 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. , Inc.

  71. 76 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 , Inc.

  72. 77 Ohio Universal Waste Rules 12/2017 • Immediately began reclassification of wastes from hazardous to universal wastes , Inc.

  73. 78 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 , Inc.

  74. 79 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 , Inc.

  75. d80 Reclassification Changes that reduce costs, time or liability • LQG inspections • Hazardous waste contingency plan • 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 , Inc.

  76. d81 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 operators in departments generating the wastes , Inc.

  77. 82 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) , Inc.

  78. 83 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 , Inc.

  79. 84 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 of 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 , Inc.

  80. 85 All of these would have been Hazardous Wastes , Inc.

  81. 86 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 other state where it is regulated as hazardous waste. , Inc.

  82. 87 Speed Dating in RCRA – which is best? More days are not always more Category Accumulation Start Days to ship offsite Date or Full Date Excluded Solvent Contaminated Wipes Start Date 180 SQG Hazardous Waste Satellite Drum Full Date 180 LQG Hazardous Waste Satellite Drum Full Date 90 Universal Wastes Start Date 365 Universal Waste Aerosol Cans in Ohio Full Date 365 Slowly accumulate solvent Mix and Match – Aerosol cans wipes better to classify them universal until drum is full. Then as hazardous waste to use puncture cans and solvents are marked Full date hazardous waste NOT universal paint waste (due to time limits and non-paint aerosol cans) , Inc.

  83. 88 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. , Inc.
