Does the facility evaluate (for example, audit) the off-site waste management facilities used to manage hazardous wastes If yes, do the evaluations ensure that wastes will be handled safely, without causing harm to waste handlers, the public, or the environment Flave the reviews been documented ... 

Disposal involves the use of postprocess activities that can handle waste, such as deep-well injection and off-site shipment of hazardous materials to waste-management facilities.

Hazardous waste transporters To govern the transport of hazardous waste between management facilities, RCRA regulates hazardous waste transporters. 

The RCRA statute additionally grants U.S. EPA broad enforcement authority to require all hazardous waste management facilities to comply with the regulations. The program also contains provisions that allow U.S. EPA to authorize state governments to implement and enforce... 

While national capacity variances, when needed, are automatically granted to all affected hazardous waste management facilities, the other five exemptions, variances, and extensions require a facility to specifically petition U.S. EPA. 

For off-site land disposal of wastes resulting from a CERCLA activity, the program contains two additional requirements. First, the unit in which the wastes are to be disposed must not be releasing hazardous wastes or constituents into groundwater, surface water, or soil. Second, any releases from other units of the facility must be under an approved RCRA corrective action program. This policy assures that wastes shipped off-site from CERCLA sites are sent to environmentally sound waste management facilities.

U.S. EPA s recommendations regarding stack emission tests, which may be performed at hazardous waste combustion facilities for the purpose of supporting MACT standards and multipathway, site-specific risk assessments, where such a risk assessment has been determined to be necessary by the permit authority, can be found in the U.S. EPA document on Risk Burn Guidance for Hazardous Waste Combustion Facilities.32 The applicability of the new standards has been demonstrated in the management of hazardous waste incinerators, whose performance was shown to clearly surpass the regulatory requirements in all tested areas.33... 

A comprehensive system to manage process hazards should also have other elements, in addition to those listed in Table 2.1. As such, Table 2.2 lists elements included in CCPS, OSHA/EPA, and Seveso II programs that are not explicitly addressed in this publication. This is not intended to imply that these other elements are unimportant. For example, all facilities handling hazardous materials and energies should engage in emergency... 

The information in this chapter is presented as a series of questions. They are intended to help you quickly decide whether chemical reactivity hazards are present at your facility. If chemical reactivity hazards are indicated, it points you to the essential practices in Chapter 4 for managing the hazards. It is also intended to indicate whether the essential practices presented in this Concept Book are sufficient to manage your chemical reactivity hazards, or whether additional resources will be required. 

Through a survey of select small, medium, and large companies, information was gathered about good practices for reactive hazard management within the chemical industry. CSB also visited chemical industry facilities that have implemented programs for managing reactive hazards. 

GDC applies to all stationary sources (fixed facilities) that handle, produce, process, or store regulated substances or extremely hazardous substances (EHS)47. It obligates facilities to identify and safely manage all hazards, including reactive hazards. Similar to OSHA, EPA can use its GDC enforcement authority to create legally binding requirements or enforce actions for hazards that have not been properly identified or managed. 

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) identifies both compounds for groundwater monitoring at hazardous waste management facilities (EPA 1987a). RCRA also designates 1,3,5-TNB as a hazardous waste when it occurs as a discarded commercial product, off-spec species, container residue, or spill residue (EPA 1980a).

Compliance with the land ban has caused disposal costs to increase by 25% to over 150%. Finding an approved facility is becoming more difficult and the Federal EPA does not have a list of TSD facilities authorized to provide chemical stabilization services. The National Technical Information Service (NTIS) does publish a helpful manual (No. PB88-109699) entitled "Directory of Commercial Hazardous Haste Management Facilities." The manual lists 250 facilities which handle metals wastes.
