Delaware Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste, 7 DE Admin. Code 1302

Date of Issuance: November 15, 2011

Effective Date of the Amendment: December 21, 2011

I. Background:

A public hearing was held on Monday, October 24, 2011, 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 “RGHW”). The State of Delaware is authorized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (hereinafter referred to as “EPA”) to administer federal authority as part of its State 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. To accomplish this, the State is proposing to adopt mandated federal regulations and miscellaneous changes to correct errors and add consistency or clarification. Some of the changes DNREC is proposing to make are currently in effect at the federal level.

The Department is proposing amendments to the following sections of its existing Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste: (1) Adoption of federal technical corrections; (2) Adoption of federal withdrawal of the Emission-Comparable Fuel Exclusion; (3) Adoption of federal delisting of saccharin; (4) Modification of §262.20(f) to allow Universities to transport hazardous waste to an accumulation area; (5) Clarification of the necessity of 270 day accumulation for Small Quantity Generators (SQG); (6) Clarification of SQG recordkeeping and reporting requirements in §262.44; (7) Clarification of records retention of Contingency Plan submission; (8) Clarification of Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator container requirements in §261.5; (9) Correction of references to the regional contingency plan under 40 CFR 1510; and (10) Requirement of used oil facilities to close containers.

The Department published the proposed regulatory amendments in the October 1, 2010 Delaware Register of Regulations. Due to the fact that the proposed changes to RGHW are required by the EPA, are self explanatory, and are not controversial, no workshop to explain these changes to the public was held by the Department. Instead, a letter was sent to all interested persons (i.e., the regulated community throughout Delaware) on August 4, 2011, encouraging the public to review the proposed amendments on the Department’s web page, and to submit any comments prior to or at the hearing. No comments of any kind were received from the public or the regulated community regarding these proposed amendments during any phase of this proceeding. Proper notice of the hearing was provided as required by law.

Subsequent to the public hearing held on October 24, 2011, the Department’s presiding Hearing Officer, Lisa A. Vest, prepared her report and recommendation in the form of a Hearing Officer’s Memorandum to the Secretary dated November 10, 2011, and that Report in its entirety is expressly incorporated herein by reference.

II. Findings:

The Department has provided sound reasoning with regard to the proposed amendments to Delaware’s Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste, as reflected in the Hearing Officer’s Memorandum of November 10, 2011, which is attached hereto and expressly incorporated into this Order in its entirety. Moreover, the following findings and conclusions are entered at this time:

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

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

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

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

5. 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;

6. 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;

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

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

9. The Department’s proposed regulation, as published in the October 1, 2011 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;

10. The Department shall submit the proposed regulation as a final regulation to the Delaware Register of Regulations 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 10, 2011 and expressly incorporated herein, it is hereby ordered that the proposed amendments to the State of Delaware’s 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’s 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 provide additional clarifying language, as well as 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. Chs. 60 and 63.

Proposed Amendments to

Delaware’s Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste

(DRGHW)

NOTE: For the purposes of this amendment package only those sections of the hazardous waste regulations shown herein are affected. The remaining sections of the DRGHW are not affected and are unchanged. Proposed additions are indicated with underlines, and deletions are indicated with strikethroughs.

AMENDMENT 1:

Technical Corrections

Adopt Federal Checklist 223 regarding EPA’s “Hazardous Waste Technical Corrections and Clarifications Rule” published in the March 18, 2010 Federal Register (Volume 75, Number 52, pages 12989-13009), and amended June 4, 2010 in the Federal Register (Volume 75, Number 107, pages 31716-31717).

Background: The EPA rule made a number of technical changes that corrected existing errors in the federal hazardous waste regulations that occurred over time in numerous final rules published in the Federal Register, such as typographical errors, incorrect or outdated citations, and omissions. Some of the corrections were necessary to make conforming changes to all appropriate parts of the RCRA hazardous waste regulations for new rules that have since been promulgated. In addition, these changes clarified existing parts of the hazardous waste regulatory program and updated references to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations that have changed since the publication of various RCRA final rules.

Delaware was required to adopt the revisions to the manifest regulations (the addition of paragraph 262.23(f) ). This was completed during the “2010” amendments (under Start Action Notice # 2010-09), effective 1/21/11.

EPA received adverse comment on four of the specific amendments and withdrew them on June 4, 2010 (75 FR 31716). The four amendments were for: §262.34(a), §262.34(a)(2), §262.34(a)(5), and §266.20(b). As a result of withdrawing the amendment for §262.34(a)(5), the related amendment for §262.34(a)(1)(iv)(B) was also withdrawn by the EPA. Finally, because of a typographical error, the amendment to the entry “K107” in the table at §261.32(a) was withdrawn.

The SHWMB determined that out of 99 amendments within the EPA rule, 35 were selected for adoption into the DRGHW. The remaining Federal amendments from checklist 223 were either already correct within the DRGHW, were not applicable to Delaware, or were less stringent than the existing DRGHW.

(2) A permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated during its term for cause as set forth in §§122.41 and 122.43, or the permit may be modified upon the request of the permittee as set forth in § 122.42.

(b) The issuance of a permit does not convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive privilege.

(c) The issuance of a permit does not authorize any injury to persons or property or invasion of other private rights, or any infringement of State or local law or regulations.

AMENDMENT 2:

Withdrawal of Emission Comparable Fuel Exclusion

Adopt Federal Checklist 224 regarding EPA’s withdrawal of the emission comparable fuel exclusion published in the June 15, 2010 Federal Register (Volume 75, pages 33712-33724).

Background: Delaware is adopting the Federal rule that withdraws the conditional exclusion from regulations promulgated on December 19, 2008 under subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for so-called Emission Comparable Fuel (ECF). These are fuels produced from hazardous secondary materials which, when burned in industrial boilers under specified conditions, generate emissions that are comparable to emissions from burning fuel oil in those boilers. EPA withdrew this conditional exclusion because the Agency concluded that ECF is more appropriately classified as a discarded material and regulated as a hazardous waste. The exclusions for comparable fuel and synthesis gas fuel are not addressed or otherwise affected by this rule. Therefore, this rule is equivalent to and also supersedes the June 19, 1998 (63 FR 33782) known as checklist 168, which Delaware adopted in 1999.

PART 261—IDENTIFICATION AND LISTING OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

Section 261.4 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(16) to read as follows:

§261.4 Exclusions.

(a) * * *

(16) Comparable fuels or comparable syngas fuels (i.e., comparable, syngas fuels) that meet the requirements of §261.38.

* * * * *

The entire §261.38 is replaced with the text below to read as follows:

§261.38 Exclusion of comparable fuel and syngas fuel.

(a) Specifications for excluded fuels. Wastes that meet the specifications for comparable fuel or syngas fuel under paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section, respectively, and the other requirements of this section, are not solid wastes.

(1) Comparable fuel specifications.—

(i) Physical specifications.—

(A) Heating value. The heating value must exceed 5,000 Btu/lbs. (11,500 J/g).

(B) Viscosity. The viscosity must not exceed: 50 cS, as-fired.

(ii) Constituent specifications. For compounds listed in Table 1 to this section, the specification levels and, where non-detect is the specification, minimum required detection limits are: (see Table 1 of this section).

(C) Does not violate the dilution prohibition of paragraph (a)(6) of this section.

(ii) Residuals resulting from the treatment of a hazardous waste listed in subpart D of this part to generate a syngas fuel remain a hazardous waste.

(6) Dilution prohibition. No generator, transporter, handler, or owner or operator of a treatment, storage, or disposal facility shall in any way dilute a hazardous waste to meet the specifications of paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A) or (a)(1)(ii) of this section for comparable fuel, or paragraph (a)(2) of this section for syngas.

(b) Implementation.—

(1) General.—

(i) Wastes that meet the specifications provided by paragraph (a) of this section for comparable fuel or syngas fuel are excluded from the definition of solid waste provided that the conditions under this section are met. For purposes of this section, such materials are called excluded fuel; the person claiming and qualifying for the exclusion is called the excluded fuel generator and the person burning the excluded fuel is called the excluded fuel burner.

(ii) The person who generates the excluded fuel must claim the exclusion by complying with the conditions of this section and keeping records necessary to document compliance with those conditions.

(2) Notices.

(i) Notices to State RCRA and CAA Directors in authorized States or regional RCRA and CAA Directors in unauthorized States.

(A) The generator must submit a one-time notice, except as provided by paragraph (b)(2)(i)(C) of this section, to the Regional or State RCRA and CAA Directors, in whose jurisdiction the exclusion is being claimed and where the excluded fuel will be burned, certifying compliance with the conditions of the exclusion and providing the following documentation:

(1) The name, address, and RCRA ID number of the person/facility claiming the exclusion;

(2) The applicable EPA Hazardous Waste Code(s) that would otherwise apply to the excluded fuel;

(3) The name and address of the units meeting the requirements of paragraphs (b)(3) and (c) of this section, that will burn the excluded fuel;

(4) An estimate of the average and maximum monthly and annual quantity of material for which an exclusion would be claimed, except as provided by paragraph (b)(2)(i)(C) of this section; and

(5) The following statement, which shall be signed and submitted by the person claiming the exclusion or his authorized representative: Under penalty of criminal and civil prosecution for making or submitting false statements, representations, or omissions, I certify that the requirements of DRGHW §261.38 have been met for all comparable fuels identified in this notification. Copies of the records and information required at DRGHW §261.38(b)(8) are available at the generator’s facility. Based on my inquiry of the individuals immediately responsible for obtaining the information, the information is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.

(B) If there is a substantive change in the information provided in the notice required under this paragraph, the generator must submit a revised notification.

(C) Excluded fuel generators must include an estimate of the average and maximum monthly and annual quantity of material for which an exclusion would be claimed only in notices submitted after December 19, 2008 for newly excluded fuel or for revised notices as required by paragraph (b)(2)(i)(B) of this section.

(ii) Public notice. Prior to burning an excluded fuel, the burner must publish in a major newspaper of general circulation local to the site where the fuel will be burned, a notice entitled ‘‘Notification of Burning a Fuel Excluded Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act’’ and containing the following information:

(A) Name, address, and RCRA ID number of the generating facility(ies);

(B) Name and address of the burner and identification of the unit(s) that will burn the excluded fuel;

(D) An estimate of the average and maximum monthly and annual quantity of the excluded fuel to be burned; and

(E) Name and mailing address of the Regional or State Directors to whom the generator submitted a claim for the exclusion.

(3) Burning. The exclusion applies only if the fuel is burned in the following units that also shall be subject to Federal/State/local air emission requirements, including all applicable requirements implementing section 112 of the Clean Air Act and 7 DE Admin. Code 1100, Air Quality Management Section:

(i) Industrial furnaces as defined in §260.10 of these regulations;

(ii) Boilers, as defined in §260.10 of these regulations, that are further defined as follows:

(A) Industrial boilers located on the site of a facility engaged in a manufacturing process where substances are transformed into new products, including the component parts of products, by mechanical or chemical processes; or

(iv) Gas turbines used to produce electric power, steam, heated or cooled air, or other gases or fluids for sale.

(4) Fuel analysis plan for generators.

The generator of an excluded fuel shall develop and follow a written fuel analysis plan which describes the procedures for sampling and analysis of the material to be excluded. The plan shall be followed and retained at the site of the generator claiming the exclusion.

(i) At a minimum, the plan must specify:

(A) The parameters for which each excluded fuel will be analyzed and the rationale for the selection of those parameters;

(B) The test methods which will be used to test for these parameters;

(C) The sampling method which will be used to obtain a representative sample of the excluded fuel to be analyzed;

(D) The frequency with which the initial analysis of the excluded fuel will be reviewed or repeated to ensure that the analysis is accurate and up to date; and

(E) If process knowledge is used in the determination, any information prepared by the generator in making such determination.

(ii) For each analysis, the generator shall document the following:

(A) The dates and times that samples were obtained, and the dates the samples were analyzed;

(B) The names and qualifications of the person(s) who obtained the samples;

(C) A description of the temporal and spatial locations of the samples;

(D) The name and address of the laboratory facility at which analyses of the samples were performed;

(E) A description of the analytical methods used, including any clean-up and sample preparation methods;

(F) All quantitation limits achieved and all other quality control results for the analysis (including method blanks, duplicate analyses, matrix spikes, etc.), laboratory quality assurance data, and the description of any deviations from analytical methods written in the plan or from any other activity written in the plan which occurred;

(G) All laboratory results demonstrating whether the exclusion specifications have been met; and

(H) All laboratory documentation that support the analytical results, unless a contract between the claimant and the laboratory provides for the documentation to be maintained by the laboratory for the period specified in paragraph (b)(9) of this section and also provides for the availability of the documentation to the claimant upon request.

(iii) Syngas fuel generators shall submit for approval, prior to performing sampling, analysis, or any management of an excluded syngas fuel, a fuel analysis plan containing the elements of paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this section to the appropriate regulatory authority. The approval of fuel analysis plans must be stated in writing and received by the facility prior to sampling and analysis to demonstrate the exclusion of a syngas. The approval of the fuel analysis plan may contain such provisions and conditions as the regulatory authority deems appropriate.

(5) Excluded fuel sampling and analysis.

(i) General. For wastes for which an exclusion is claimed under the specifications provided by paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section, the generator of the waste must test for all the constituents in appendix VIII to this part, except those that the generator determines, based on testing or knowledge, should not be present in the fuel. The generator is required to document the basis of each determination that a constituent with an applicable specification should not be present. The generator may not determine that any of the following categories of constituents with a specification in Table 1 to this section should not be present:

(A) A constituent that triggered the toxicity characteristic for the constituents that were the basis for listing the hazardous secondary material as a hazardous waste, or constituents for which there is a treatment standard for the waste code in DRGHW §268.40;

(B) A constituent detected in previous analysis of the waste;

(C) Constituents introduced into the process that generates the waste; or

(D) Constituents that are byproducts or side reactions to the process that generates the waste.

Note to paragraph (b)(5): Any claim under this section must be valid and accurate for all hazardous constituents; a determination not to test for a hazardous constituent will not shield a generator from liability should that constituent later be found in the excluded fuel above the exclusion specifications.

(ii) Use of process knowledge. For each waste for which the comparable fuel or syngas exclusion is claimed where the generator of the excluded fuel is not the original generator of the hazardous waste, the generator of the excluded fuel may not use process knowledge pursuant to paragraph (b)(5)(i) of this section and must test to determine that all of the constituent specifications of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section, as applicable, have been met.

(iii) The excluded fuel generator may use any reliable analytical method to demonstrate that no constituent of concern is present at concentrations above the specification levels. It is the responsibility of the generator to ensure that the sampling and analysis are unbiased, precise, and representative of the excluded fuel. For the fuel to be eligible for exclusion, a generator must demonstrate that:

(A) The 95% upper confidence limit of the mean concentration for each constituent of concern is not above the specification level; and

(B) The analyses could have detected the presence of the constituent at or below the specification level.

(iv) Nothing in this paragraph preempts, overrides or otherwise negates the provision in §262.11 of these regulations, which requires any person who generates a solid waste to determine if that waste is a hazardous waste.

(v) In an enforcement action, the burden of proof to establish conformance with the exclusion specification shall be on the generator claiming the exclusion.

(vi) The generator must conduct sampling and analysis in accordance with the fuel analysis plan developed under paragraph (b)(4) of this section.

(vii) Viscosity condition for comparable fuel.

(A) Excluded comparable fuel that has not been blended to meet the kinematic viscosity specification shall be analyzed as generated.

(B) If hazardous waste is blended to meet the kinematic viscosity specification for comparable fuel, the generator shall:

(1) Analyze the hazardous waste as generated to ensure that it meets the constituent and heating value specifications of paragraph (a)(1) of this section; and

(2) After blending, analyze the fuel again to ensure that the blended fuel meets all comparable fuel specifications.

(viii) Excluded fuel must be retested, at a minimum, annually and must be retested after a process change that could change its chemical or physical properties in a manner than may affect conformance with the specifications.

(6) (Reserved)

(7) Speculative accumulation. Excluded fuel must not be accumulated speculatively, as defined in §261.1(c)(8).

(8) Operating record. The generator must maintain an operating record on site containing the following information:

(i) All information required to be submitted to the implementing authority as part of the notification of the claim:

(A) The owner/operator name, address, and RCRA ID number of the person claiming the exclusion;

(B) For each excluded fuel, the EPA Hazardous Waste Codes that would be applicable if the material were discarded; and

(C) The certification signed by the person claiming the exclusion or his authorized representative.

(ii) A brief description of the process that generated the excluded fuel. If the comparable fuel generator is not the generator of the original hazardous waste, provide a brief description of the process that generated the hazardous waste;

(iii) The monthly and annual quantities of each fuel claimed to be excluded;

(iv) Documentation for any claim that a constituent is not present in the excluded fuel as required under paragraph (b)(5)(i) of this section;

(v) The results of all analyses and all detection limits achieved as required under paragraph (b)(4) of this section;

(vi) If the comparable fuel was generated through treatment or blending, documentation of compliance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs (a)(3) and (a)(4) of this section;

(vii) If the excluded fuel is to be shipped off-site, a certification from the burner as required under paragraph (b)(10) of this section;

(viii) The fuel analysis plan and documentation of all sampling and analysis results as required by paragraph (b)(4) of this section; and

(ix) If the generator ships excluded fuel off-site for burning, the generator must retain for each shipment the following information on-site:

(A) The name and address of the facility receiving the excluded fuel for burning;

(B) The quantity of excluded fuel shipped and delivered;

(C) The date of shipment or delivery;

(D) A cross-reference to the record of excluded fuel analysis or other information used to make the determination that the excluded fuel meets the specifications as required under paragraph (b)(4) of this section; and

(E) A one-time certification by the burner as required under paragraph (b)(10) of this section.

(9) Records retention. Records must be maintained for a period of three years.

(10) Burner certification to the generator. Prior to submitting a notification to the State and Regional Directors, a generator of excluded fuel who intends to ship the excluded fuel off-site for burning must obtain a onetime written, signed statement from the burner:

(i) Certifying that the excluded fuel will only be burned in an industrial furnace, industrial boiler, utility boiler, or hazardous waste incinerator, as required under paragraph (b)(3) of this section;

(ii) Identifying the name and address of the facility that will burn the excluded fuel; and

(iii) Certifying that the State in which the burner is located is authorized to exclude wastes as excluded fuel under the provisions of this section.

(11) Ineligible waste codes. Wastes that are listed as hazardous waste because of the presence of dioxins or furans, as set out in appendix VII of this part, are not eligible for these exclusions, and any fuel produced from or otherwise containing these wastes remains a hazardous waste subject to the full RCRA hazardous waste management requirements.

(12) Regulatory status of boiler residues. Burning excluded fuel that was otherwise a hazardous waste listed under §§261.31 through 261.33 does not subject boiler residues, including bottom ash and emission control residues, to regulation as derived-from hazardous wastes.

(13) Residues in containers and tank systems upon cessation of operations.

(i) Liquid and accumulated solid residues that remain in a container or tank system for more than 90 days after the container or tank system ceases to be operated for storage or transport of excluded fuel product are subject to regulation under parts 262 through 265, 268, 122, and 124 of these regulations.

(ii) Liquid and accumulated solid residues that are removed from a container or tank system after the container or tank system ceases to be operated for storage or transport of excluded fuel product are solid wastes subject to regulation as hazardous waste if the waste exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste under §§261.21 through 261.24 or if the fuel were otherwise a hazardous waste listed under §§261.31 through 261.33 when the exclusion was claimed.

(iii) Liquid and accumulated solid residues that are removed from a container or tank system and which do not meet the specifications for exclusion under paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section are solid wastes subject to regulation as hazardous waste if:

(A) The waste exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste under §§261.21 through 261.24; or

(B) The fuel were otherwise a hazardous waste listed under §§261.31 through 261.33. The hazardous waste code for the listed waste applies to these liquid and accumulated solid resides.

(14) Waiver of RCRA Closure Requirements. Interim status and permitted storage and combustion units, and generator storage units exempt from the permit requirements under §262.34 of these regulations, are not subject to the closure requirements of DRGHW § Parts 264, and 265 provided that the storage and combustion unit has been used to manage only hazardous waste that is subsequently excluded under the conditions of this section, and that afterward will be used only to manage fuel excluded under this section.

(15) Spills and leaks.

(i) Excluded fuel that is spilled or leaked and that therefore no longer meets the conditions of the exclusion is discarded and must be managed as a hazardous waste if it exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste under §§261.21 through 261.24 or if the fuel were otherwise a hazardous waste listed in §§261.31 through 261.33.

(ii) For excluded fuel that would have otherwise been a hazardous waste listed in §§261.31 through 261.33 and which is spilled or leaked, the hazardous waste code for the listed waste applies to the spilled or leaked material.

(16) Nothing in this section preempts, overrides, or otherwise negates the provisions in CERCLA Section 103 and 7 Del.C. §6028 (see 7 DE Admin. Code 1203, Reporting of a Discharge of a Pollutant or Air Contaminant), which establish reporting obligations for releases of hazardous substances, or the Department of Transportation requirements for hazardous materials in 49 CFR parts 171 through 180.

(c) Failure to comply with the conditions of the exclusion. An excluded fuel loses its exclusion if any person managing the fuel fails to comply with the conditions of the exclusion under this section, and the material must be managed as hazardous waste from the point of generation. In such situations, EPA or the Department may take enforcement action under RCRA section 3008(a) or 7 Del.C. Chapters 60 and/or 63.

AMENDMENT 4a:

Academic Transport

Adjust the “Munitions Rule” to allow qualifying colleges/ universities the ability to transport hazardous waste (without using a manifest) on roads that are along or through the contiguous property belonging to the institution.

Background: The State of Delaware has a more stringent “Munitions Rule.” Under the Federal version, all hazardous waste is eligible to be transported along a generator’s contiguous property without using a manifest. However, in DRGHW the ability to transport along contiguous property is restricted to specific military situations. Also, Delaware has chosen not to adopt the “Academic Laboratory Rule.” To afford qualifying colleges/universities the ability to transport hazardous waste to an accumulation area (without using a manifest) using roads that are along or through contiguous institution property, the SHWMB is revising paragraph (f) of §262.20. The definition of College/University is from EPA’s Academic Laboratory Rule.

Section 262.20 General requirements.

(a) (1) A generator who transports, or offers for transportation, hazardous waste for off site treatment, storage, or disposal, or a treatment, storage, and disposal facility who offers for transport a rejected hazardous waste load, must prepare a Manifest (U.S. OMB Control Number 2050 0039) on EPA Form 8700 22 and, if necessary EPA Form 8700 22A, according to the instructions included in the appendix to this part.

(2) The revised manifest form and procedures in §§260.10, 261.7, 262.20, 262.21, 262.27, 262.32, 262.34, 262.54, 262.60, and the appendix to part 262 of these regulations shall not apply until September 5, 2006. The manifest form and procedures in §§260.10, 261.7, 262.20, 262.21, 262.32, 262.34, 262.54, 262.60, and the Appendix to part 262, contained in the parts 260 to 265, edition revised as of July 1, 2004, shall be applicable until September 5, 2006.

(b) A generator must designate on the manifest one facility which is permitted to handle the waste described on the manifest.

(c) A generator may also designate on the manifest one alternate facility which is permitted to handle his waste in the event an emergency prevents delivery of the waste to the primary designated facility.

(d) If the transporter is unable to deliver the hazardous waste to the designated facility or the alternate facility, the generator must either designate another facility or instruct the transporter to return the waste.

(e) [Reserved]

(f) The requirements of this subpart and §262.32(b) do not apply to transportation during an explosives or munitions emergency response or transport of military munitions as defined in §260.10 of these regulations on a public or private right-of-way within or along the border of contiguous property under the control of the same person, even if such contiguous property is divided by a public or private right-of-way. Notwithstanding §263.10(a), the generator or transporter must comply with the requirements for transporters set forth in §263.30 and §263.31 in the event of a discharge of hazardous waste on a public or private right-of-way.

(f) (1) The requirements of this subpart and §262.32(b) are not applicable to the transport, on a public or private right-of-way within or along the border of contiguous property under the control of the same person (even if such contiguous property is divided by a public or private right-of-way), of:

(i) explosives or munitions during an emergency response, or

(ii) military munitions as defined in §260.10 of these regulations, or

(iii) subject to the Department’s written approval, waste generated by a college or university that is taken to that generator’s accumulation area.

(2) Notwithstanding §263.10(a), the generator or transporter must comply with the requirements for transporters set forth in §263.30 and §263.31 in the event of a discharge of hazardous waste on a public or private right-of-way.

* * * * *

§260.10

College/University means a private or public, post-secondary, degree-granting, academic institution, that is accredited by an accrediting agency listed annually by the U.S. Department of Education.

(f) A generator who generates greater than 100 kilograms but less than 1000 kilograms of hazardous waste in a calendar month and who accumulates hazardous waste in quantities exceeding 6000 kg or accumulates hazardous waste for more than 180 days (or for more than 270 days if he, due to there being no other option available, must transport his waste, or offer his waste for transportation, over a distance of 200 miles or more) is an operator of a storage facility and is subject to the requirements of Parts 264 and 265 and the permit requirements of Part 122 unless he has been granted an extension to the 180 day (or 270 day if applicable) period. Such extension may be granted by the DNREC Secretary if hazardous wastes must remain on site for longer than 180 days (or 270 days if applicable) due to unforeseen, temporary, and uncontrollable circumstances. An extension of up to 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Secretary on a case by case basis.

* * * * *

(h) A generator who generates 1,000 kilograms or greater of hazardous waste per calendar month who also generates wastewater treatment sludges from electroplating operations that meet the listing description for the EPA hazardous waste code F006, and who, due to there being no other option available, must transport this waste, or offer this waste for transportation, over a distance of 200 miles or more for offsite metals recovery, may accumulate F006 waste onsite for more than 90 days, but not more than 270 days without a permit or without having interim status if the generator complies with the requirements of paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of this section.

(i) A generator accumulating F006 in accordance with paragraphs (g) and (h) of this section who accumulates F006 waste onsite for more than 180 days (or for more than 270 days if the generator, due to there being no other option available, must transport this waste, or offer this waste for transportation, over a distance of 200 miles or more), or who accumulates more than 20,000 kilograms of F006 waste onsite is an operator of a storage facility and is subject to the requirements of Parts 264 and 265 and the permit requirements of Part 122 unless the generator has been granted an extension to the 180-day (or 270-day if applicable) period or an exception to the 20,000 kilogram accumulation limit. Such extensions and exceptions may be granted by DNREC if F006 waste must remain onsite for longer than 180 days (or 270 days if applicable) or if more than 20,000 kilograms of F006 waste must remain onsite due to unforeseen, temporary, and uncontrollable circumstances. An extension of up to 30 days or an exception to the accumulation limit may be granted at the discretion of the Secretary on a case-by- case basis.
