Permits solid waste

Applicabdity Limitations Photolysis is appropriate for difficult-to-treat chemicals (e.g., pesticides, dioxins, chlorinated organics), nitrated wastes, and those chemicals in media which permits photolyzing the waste. The waste matrix can often shield chemicals from the light (e.g., ultraviolet light absorbers, suspended solids, solid wastes). The photolysis process typically requires pretreatment to remove suspended materials, and the by-products formed may be more toxic than the parent molecules. 

Often, the immobilized product has a structural strength sufficient to prevent fracturing over time. Solidification accomplishes the objective by changing a non-solid waste material into a solid, monolithic structure that ideally will not permit liquids to percolate into or leach materials out of the mass. Stabilization, on the other hand, binds the hazardous constituents into an insoluble matrix or changes the hazardous constituent to an insoluble form. Other objectives of solidiflcation/stabilization processes are to improve handling of the waste and pri uce a stable solid (no free liquid) for subsequent use as a construction material or for landfilling.

In some case, experts may debate the reuse of nonhazardous materials, which, they insist, should still be dumped to general landfill sites where nonhazardous materials belong, like municipal solid waste. It is also insisted that there is no documented regulation requiring the reuse of nonhazardous materials. Therefore, to defend the beneficial reuse program of foundry solid waste, regulations should specifically permit their marketing.

The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) has defined a bioreactor landfill as any permitted Subtitle D landfill or landfill cell where liquid or air is injected in a controlled fashion into the waste mass in order to accelerate or enhance biostabilization of the waste. ... 

The omnibus provision, added by Congress in the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA),18 allows the U.S. EPA Regional Administrator or state to incorporate into a permit any provision deemed necessary to protect human health and the environment. Even if a facility submits a permit application that is complete and technically adequate, if site-specific factors at the facility...

In densely populated areas, a large cogeneration system may be required to comply with emission standards and install pollution control technology. There may also be noise pollution standards and water, air discharge and solid waste disposal permits. 

The appropriate method for PCDD/ PCDF analysis is the EPA Method 8290 of the Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, SW-846 (EPA, 1996a). According to the NPDES permit, effluent and influent water samples will be analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method 624 (EPA, 1983).

A VSL is a control limit used to clear materials for off-site shipment based on agent concentration in the atmosphere above the packaged waste materials. A VSL has been incorporated into the RCRA permits for ANCDF and PBCDF for use in characterizing solid waste streams that are not amenable to other analysis methodologies. A VSL is also used at TOCDF and NECDF to group and classify various wastes. The VSL in the PBCDF RCRA permit is currently <1 STEL (ADEQ, 2006). The VSL in the ANCDF RCRA permit is currently established at <1 STL (ADEM, 2006). 

The Anniston Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (ANCDF) RCRA permit language defines chemical agent free as agent concentrations below the lowest achievable method detection limits as specified by the analytical method used. In addition, at ANCDF, under a recent permit modification, certain solid wastes not exposed to chemical agent liquids or to vapors >1 STL are deemed to be nonhazardous with respect to chemical agent and may be disposed of off-site in accordance with the applicable solid waste regulations. 

The analytical protocols used to characterize hazardous wastes are primarily the EPA-approved methodologies found in their publication Test Methods for the Evaluation of Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, SW-846. Because these methodologies are a part of the waste analysis plan and the feed-stream analysis plan, they are required by the facility s RCRA permit. In the case of the feedstream analysis plan and the LDRs, adherence is required to meet specific regulatory requirements. Occasionally, DuPont will analyze streams for hazardous constituents or properties other than those required under the permit or regulations in order to address a specific issue (e.g., to determine if the stream can be recycled). Analyses like these should be considered not as an industrial best practice but only as an internal planning aid. 

A new facility which will generate solid wastes, or liquid wastes that cannot be directly discharged to an outside water treatment facility or under an NPDES permit, may face additional regulatory requirements.
