Enter one of the following codes to identify the type of treatment or disposal method used by the off-site location for the chemical being reported. You should use more than one line for a single location when the toxic chemical is subject to different disposal methods the same location code may be used more than once. You may have this information in your copy of EPA Form SO, Item S of the Annual/Biennial Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Report (RCRA). Applicable codes for Part III, Section 6(c) are as follows ... 

Once a decision is made that interim measures are needed, then the next question is what interim measures might be required for this particular situation. Examples of interim measures for various RCRA treatment, storage and disposal facilities, and for various release types are listed in Table 1. Note that these are examples their inclusion does not infer either guidance or approval. 

Corrective Action Application At a hazardous waste treatment storage and disposal facility in Washington State, a cyanide-bearing waste required treatment. The influent waste stream contained 15 percent cyanide. Electrolytic oxidation was used to reduce the cyanide concentration to less than 5 percent. Alkaline chlorination was used to further reduce the cyanide concentration to 50 mg/1 (the cleanup objective). The electrolytic process was used as a first stage treatment because the heat of reaction, using alkaline chlorination to treat the concentrated cyanide waste, would be so great that it would melt the reactor tank.

Under the RCRA exemption, wastes intrinsically associated with the exploration and development of oil and gas do not have to follow Subtitle C regulations for disposal. Under Subtitle C, hazardous wastes must follow strict guidelines for storage, treatment, and transportation and disposal. The cost of handling materials under the Subtitle C scenario is overwhelming. Under the exemption, the operator is allowed to dispose of wellsite waste in a prudent manner and is not obliged to use licensed hazardous waste transporters and licensed Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDF). 

OSHA s Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) legislation protects workers who respond to emergencies, such as serious spills, involving hazardous materials. It also covers those employed in cleanup operations at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites and at EPA-licensed waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.

The risk assessment has also concluded that a level of 200 mg/kg for lead in the soil will be a protective level for expected site exposures along with an excess cancer risk level for TCE-contaminated soil (56 pg/L). Based on investigations of activities at the site, the TCE-contaminated soil has not been determined to be a listed RCRA hazardous waste, as the cleaning solution records indicate the solution contained less than 10% TCE. However, the lead-contaminated soil is an RCRA hazardous waste by characteristic in this instance due to extraction procedure (EP) toxicity. None of the waste is believed to have been disposed at the site after November 19, 1980 (the effective date for most of the RCRA treatment, storage, and disposal requirements).

It is suggested that the recycling plants may be set up at existing Treatment Storage and Disposal Facility (TSDF) sites for hazardous wastes. There are currently 25 such sites in India spread across 11 states. The state-wise distribution is shown in Fig. 2. 

Hexachloroethane and waste containing hexachloroethane are classified as hazardous wastes by EPA. Generators of waste containing this contaminant must conform to EPA regulations for treatment, storage, and disposal (see Chapter 7). Rotary kiln or fluidized bed incineration methods are acceptable disposal methods for these wastes. Underground injection may also be used (HSDB 1995).
