Treatment, Disposal, and Storage Facilities

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.

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.

According to TRI92 (1994), an estimated total of 250 pounds of di-ra-octylphthalate, amounting to about 2% of the total environmental release, was discharged to soils from manufacturing and processing facilities in the United States in 1992 (see Table 5-1). An estimated total additional 239,134 pounds were transferred to off-site waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The TRI data listed in Table 5-1 should be used with caution since only certain types of facilities are required to report. This is not an exhaustive list. Furthermore, as noted above, the precise chemical identity of the reported releases is questionable. 

Under the RCRA, the EPA has the authority to require a refinery to clean up releases of hazardous waste or waste constituents. The regulation provides for cleanup of hazardous waste released from active treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. Superfund was expected to handle contamination that had occurred before that date.
