Secretary’s Order No.: 2008-0056

RE: Proposed Amendments to the Delaware Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste (2008)

Date of Issuance: November 17, 2008

Effective Date of the Amendment: December 21, 2008

I. Background:

A public hearing was held on Thursday, October 23, 2008, at 6:00 p.m. at the DNREC Richardson & Robbins Building Auditorium to receive comment on proposed amendments to the Delaware Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste (hereinafter referred to as “DRGHW”). The State of Delaware is authorized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (hereinafter referred to as “EPA”) to administer its own hazardous waste management program. In order for Delaware to maintain its program delegation and authority, EPA requires Delaware to maintain a program that is equivalent and no less stringent than the federal program.

Many of the changes that the Department is proposing to make at this time are already in effect at the federal level. Additionally, the Department is proposing to adopt optional federal regulations and make miscellaneous changes to correct errors and to add consistency or clarification to the existing regulations.

The proposed amendments to DRGHW were presented to the general public by the Department in a public workshop held on August 11, 2008. Comments were received from the regulated community as a result of this workshop, and those comments were included as part of the Department’s exhibits entered into the record in this matter. No comments were received from the public or the regulated community regarding these proposed amendments at either the time of the public hearing or during the post-hearing phase of this proceeding. Proper notice of the hearing was provided as required by law.

II. Findings:

The Department has provided a reasoned analysis and a sound conclusion with regard to the responses given to each public comment received prior to the time of the public hearing, as reflected in the Hearing Officer’s Memorandum of November 13, 2008, which is attached hereto and expressly incorporated into this Order. Moreover, the following findings and conclusions are entered at this time:

The Department has jurisdiction under its statutory authority, 7 Del.C. Chapters 60 and 63, to make a determination in this proceeding;

The Department provided adequate public notice of the proceeding and the public hearing in a manner required by the law and regulations;

The Department held a public hearing in a manner required by the law and regulations;

The Department considered all timely and relevant public comments in making its determination;

The Department has reviewed this proposed amendment in the light of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and believes the same to be lawful, feasible and desirable, and that the recommendations as proposed should be applicable to all Delaware citizens equally;

Promulgation of these proposed amendments would update Delaware’s requirements, where appropriate, to be consistent with the federal requirements, thus bringing Delaware into compliance with EPA standards;

The correction of clerical errors currently found in Delaware’s existing regulations will provide better clarity and a fuller understanding of the regulatory language contained within this regulation to the general public and the regulated community;

The Department has an adequate record for its decision, and no further public hearing is appropriate or necessary;

The Department’s proposed regulation, as published in the October 1, 2008 Delaware Register of Regulations and set forth within Attachment “A” of the Hearing Officer’s Memorandum and attached hereto, is adequately supported, not arbitrary or capricious, and is consistent with the applicable laws and regulations. Consequently, it should be approved as a final regulation, which shall go into effect twenty days after its publication in the next available issue of the Delaware Register of Regulations;

The Department shall submit the proposed regulation as a final regulation to the Delaware Register of Regulation for publication in its next available issue, and shall provide written notice to the persons affected by the Order.

III. Order:

Based on the record developed, as reviewed in the Hearing Officer’s Memorandum dated November 13, 2008 and expressly incorporated herein, it is hereby ordered that the proposed amendments to State of Delaware Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste be promulgated in final form in the customary manner and established rule-making procedure required by law.

IV. Reasons:

The promulgation of the amendments to the State of Delaware Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste will update Delaware’s requirements, where appropriate, to be consistent with the federal requirements, thus bringing Delaware into compliance with EPA standards. Again, the State is required to adopt these amendments in order to maintain its hazardous waste program authorization and remain current with the Federal RCRA hazardous waste program. Additionally, those changes being made to correct clerical errors currently found in Delaware’s existing regulations will provide better clarity and a fuller understanding of the regulatory language contained within this regulation to the general public and the regulated community.

In developing this regulation, the Department has balanced the absolute environmental need for the State of Delaware to promulgate regulations concerning this matter with the important interests and public concerns surrounding the same, in furtherance of the policy and purposes of 7 Del.C., Chapters 60 and 63.

1302 Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste

AMENDMENT 1:

Headworks Exemption - Federal Checklist 211

Section 261.3 Definition of hazardous waste.

(a) A solid waste, as defined in §261.2, is a hazardous waste if:

*****

(2) It meets any of the following criteria:

*****

(iv) It is a mixture of solid waste and one or more hazardous wastes listed in Subpart D of this part and has not been excluded from paragraph (a)(2) of this section under §§ 260.20 and 260.22, paragraph (g) of this section, or paragraph (h) of this section; however, the following mixtures of solid wastes and hazardous wastes listed in Subpart D of this part are not hazardous wastes (except by application of paragraph (a)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section) if the generator can demonstrate that the mixture consists of wastewater the discharge of which is subject to regulation under either Section 402 or Section 307(b) of the Clean Water Act (including wastewater at facilities which have eliminated the discharge of wastewater), and:

(A) One or more of the following solvents listed in §261.31-benzene, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene or the scrubber waters derived-from the combustion of these spent solvents-Provided, that the maximum total weekly usage of these solvents (other than the amounts that can be demonstrated not to be discharged to wastewater) divided by the average weekly flow of wastewater into the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment or pretreatment system does not exceed 1 part per million; ,or the total measured concentration of these solvents entering the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment system (at facilities subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act, as amended, at 40 CFR parts 60, 61, or 63, or at facilities subject to an enforceable limit in a federal operating permit that minimizes fugitive emissions), does not exceed 1 part per million on an average weekly basis. Any facility that uses benzene as a solvent and claims this exemption must use an aerated biological wastewater treatment system and must use only lined surface impoundments or tanks prior to secondary clarification in the wastewater treatment system. Facilities that choose to measure concentration levels must file a copy of their sampling and analysis plan with the Secretary. A facility must file a copy of a revised sampling and analysis plan only if the initial plan is rendered inaccurate by changes in the facility's operations. The sampling and analysis plan must include the monitoring point location (headworks), the sampling frequency and methodology, and a list of constituents to be monitored. A facility is eligible for the direct monitoring option once they receive confirmation that the sampling and analysis plan has been received and approved in writing by the Secretary. The Secretary may reject the sampling and analysis plan if he/she finds that, the sampling and analysis plan fails to include the above information; or the plan parameters would not enable the facility to calculate the weekly average concentration of these chemicals accurately. Once approved, if the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the facility shall cease the use of the direct monitoring option and immediately notify DNREC in writing, or if the Secretary finds that the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the Secretary shall notify the facility to cease the use of the direct monitoring option until such time as the bases for rejection are corrected; or

B) One or more of the following spent solvents listed in §261.31--methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, cresols, cresylic acid, nitrobenzene, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon disulfide, isobutanol, pyridine, spent chlorofluorocarbon solvents, 2- ethoxyethanol, or the scrubber waters derived-from the combustion of these spent solvents-provided that the maximum total weekly usage of these solvents (other than the amounts that can be demonstrated not to be discharged to wastewater) divided by the average weekly flow of wastewater into the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment or pretreatment system does not exceed 25 parts per million; ,or the total measured concentration of these solvents entering the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment system (at facilities subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act as amended, at 40 CFR parts 60, 61, or 63, or at facilities subject to an enforceable limit in a federal operating permit that minimizes fugitive emissions), does not exceed 25 parts per million on an average weekly basis. Facilities that choose to measure concentration levels must file a copy of their sampling and analysis plan with the Secretary. A facility must file a copy of a revised sampling and analysis plan only if the initial plan is rendered inaccurate by changes in the facility's operations. The sampling and analysis plan must include the monitoring point location (headworks), the sampling frequency and methodology, and a list of constituents to be monitored. A facility is eligible for the direct monitoring option once they receive confirmation that the sampling and analysis plan has been received and approved in writing by the Secretary. The Secretary may reject the sampling and analysis plan if he/she finds that, the sampling and analysis plan fails to include the above information; or the plan parameters would not enable the facility to calculate the weekly average concentration of these chemicals accurately. Once approved, if the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the facility shall cease the use of the direct monitoring option and immediately notify DNREC in writing, or if the Secretary finds that the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the Secretary shall notify the facility to cease the use of the direct monitoring option until such time as the bases for rejection are corrected; or

*****

(D) A discarded hazardous waste, commercial chemical product, or chemical intermediate listed in §261.33 §§261.31 through 261.33, arising from de minimis losses of these materials from manufacturing operations in which these materials are used as raw materials or are produced in the manufacturing process. For purposes of this paragraph (a)(2)(iv)(D), "de minimis" losses are inadvertent releases to a wastewater treatment system, including those from normal material handling operations (e.g., spills from the unloading or transfer of materials from bins or other containers, leaks from pipes, valves or other devices used to transfer materials); minor leaks of process equipment, storage tanks or containers; leaks from well maintained pump packings and seals; sample purgings; relief device discharges; discharges from safety showers and rinsing and cleaning of personal safety equipment; and rinsate from empty containers or from containers that are rendered empty by that rinsing. Any manufacturing facility that claims an exemption for de minimis quantities of wastes listed in §§ 261.31 through 261.32, or any nonmanufacturing facility that claims an exemption for de minimis quantities of wastes listed in subpart D of this part must either have eliminated the discharge of wastewaters or have included in its Clean Water Act permit application or submission to its pretreatment control authority the constituents for which each waste was listed (in 40 CFR 261 appendix VII) of this part; and the constituents in the table '''Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes''' in 40 CFR 268.40 for which each waste has a treatment standard (i.e., Land Disposal Restriction constituents). A facility is eligible to claim the exemption once the permit writer or control authority has been notified of possible de minimis releases via the Clean Water Act permit application or the pretreatment control authority submission. A copy of the Clean Water permit application or the submission to the pretreatment control authority must be placed in the facility's on-site files and made immediately available upon request; or

*****

(F) One or more of the following wastes listed in §261.32--wastewaters from the production of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes (EPA Hazardous Waste No. K157)--Provided that the maximum weekly usage of formaldehyde, methyl chloride, methylene chloride, and triethylamine (including all amounts that can not be demonstrated to be reacted in the process, destroyed through treatment, or is recovered, i.e., what is discharged or volatilized) divided by the average weekly flow of process wastewater prior to any dilutions into the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment system does not exceed a total of 5 parts per million by weight or the total measured concentration of these chemicals entering the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment system (at facilities subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act as amended, at 40 CFR parts 60, 61, or 63, or at facilities subject to an enforceable limit in a federal operating permit that minimizes fugitive emissions), does not exceed 5 parts per million on an average weekly basis. Facilities that choose to measure concentration levels must file a copy of their sampling and analysis plan with the Secretary. A facility must file a copy of a revised sampling and analysis plan only if the initial plan is rendered inaccurate by changes in the facility's operations. The sampling and analysis plan must include the monitoring point location (headworks), the sampling frequency and methodology, and a list of constituents to be monitored. A facility is eligible for the direct monitoring option once they receive confirmation that the sampling and analysis plan has been received and approved in writing by the Secretary. The Secretary may reject the sampling and analysis plan if he/she finds that, the sampling and analysis plan fails to include the above information; or the plan parameters would not enable the facility to calculate the weekly average concentration of these chemicals accurately. Once approved, if the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the facility shall cease the use of the direct monitoring option and immediately notify DNREC in writing, or if the Secretary finds that the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the Secretary shall notify the facility to cease the use of the direct monitoring option until such time as the bases for rejection are corrected; or
