identified in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart D

chemical conversion coating and listed as F006/F019 treatment sludge. Th e f il t er cake

does n ot exhibit any of the hazar do us waste characteristics identified in 40 CFR Part 261

,

Subpart C, and does n ot contain the constituents for which the waste w as listed at

significant levels.

In 2011, John D ee re began the process of requesting that the F006 filt er cake be delisted

based on the belief that the chrome electr op lating process was the only ope ration at the

faci li ty generating a RCRA li st ed hazar do us waste. However, in ea rly 2012, it was

determined that a small quantity of alum in um pa rts was present in large cotton pickers

processed in the phosphate conversion coating line. John Deere processes electroplating

wastewater and phosphating wastewater together. This process generate s one waste

treatment water sludge or filter cake. While it was determined that the w as tewat er fr om

the chem ic al conversi on coating of aluminum parts was not a RCRA characteristic

hazardous waste, it is estimated that the filter cake generated fr om treatment of this

wastewat er may be a li sted F019 h az ar do us waste. Therefore, t hi s petition request s the

exclusion of the filt er cake fr om the F 006 and the F019 li sting (the Petitioned Waste).

### Statem ent of Need and Ju sti fica ti on for t he Pr oposed A cti on

John D ee re is submitt in g t hi s petition as the generator of a f il t er cake or wastewater

treatment sludge at the An keny Iowa faci li ty. The fac il ity generat es a f il t er cake that is

listed as F0 06 because the sludge resulted fr om treatment of electr op lating operati on

wastewater. Th e same filter cake may be li sted as F019 because the filter cake result s from

the treatment of wastewater from the phosphate conversion coating of large cotton pickers

containing a small quantity of aluminum parts

.

Testing h as determined that the dewatered F006/F019 f il ter cake ge nerated by the on-site

wastewat er treatment plant does n ot ex hi bit any hazardous waste ch ara ct eristics as

identified in 40 CFR 261, Sub pa rt C, nor does the Petitioned Waste exhibit any other

factors that could cause the waste to be a hazardous waste

. T hi s petition and su ppo rt in g

Tank 1 E qua liza ti on /Holdi ng: T he tank is an in-grou nd c on crete s t r uctu r e

with dim en si ons of 33 f eet by 133 feet and 14 fo ot side wall (c apacity 460 ,000

ga ll on s). Normal op erati ng l evel ranges fr om 4 to 10 f oot d ep th (op e r at i n g

volume 130 ,000 to 330,000 ga ll ons). T he tank is mi xed wit h blowers a n d

cationic polyme r) , and anti-f oa m. C apab ility is pres ent to add s od i um

the chrome treatment unit testing. With a normal/typical wastewater flow

rate of 106,000 gpd, the equalization tank has a holding capacity of 1.5 to 3

days.

Tank 2 Stage 1 Flocculation/clarification: The tank is a concrete cell

approximately 20 ft by 20 ft by 15 ft depth, with an operating level from 10 to

12 feet. A steel package- type circular flocculation/contact unit in the center of

the tank is fed wastewater from the equalization Tank 1. Normal f low is

approximately 60 to 160 gpm (based on typical 106,000 gpd flow). Chemicals

added to the tank (Petition Appendix N includes the SAP with chemicals listed

in Table 1.2 of that document) include pH adjustment (normal is caustic),JD Ankeny Delisting Petition 1

- 22

- 14.docx Page 16 of 50 emulsion breaker, ferr ic sulfate (to promote floc formation), and flocculent

(normal cationic polymer). Flocculated solids are maintained as a sludge

blanket in the unit with blowdown to the sludge thickener initiated by sludge

depth (electronic eye sludge blanket detector init iates a timed pump cycle).

Tank is configured to maintain flow through the sludge blanket for solids

formation. Clarified water flows by gravity into a weir and then into the

contact unit in the Stage 2 unit.

Tank 3 Stage 2 Flocculation/clarification: Same configuration as Tank 2.

Chemical addition includes only the flocculent (normal cationic polymer).

Flocculated solids are less dense and a lower quantity than Tank 2 with

blowdown initiated by sludge depth (similar to Tank 2). Clarified water flows

by gra vity into a weir and then into Tank 4.

Tank 4 pH Adjustment: The tank is a concrete cell approximately 20 ft by 20ft

by 15 ft depth with an operating level of about 4 feet. Inlet discharges by

underflow into tank with overflow pipe for discharge to the pub lic sewer.

Tank also includes a sampling station.

Tank 5 Sludge Thickener: The tank is a cone-bottom steel tank placed inside

the concrete cell (cell is dry). Tank is 12 foot diameter by 15 ft height. Chemical

addition includes coagulant (normal is cationi c polymer). Overflow is directed

back to Tank 1. Thickened sludge is feed to the plate and frame filter press.

Wastewater treatment can operate 24- hours per day continuously. However,

discharge is limited to time when the operator is present, normally 2 s hifts per

day. Discharge is regulated by the WRA Waste Water Discharge Permit

app roved by EPA July 7, 2011 (P etiti on Appendix A)

.

Th e i ni tial sample event to confirm constituents of concern was c omp leted July 20, 2011.

Af t er re vi ew in g da ta from the event and aft er discussions wi th EPA, the SAP was

u pdat ed wi th selected Constituents of Co ncern and sampl es (Rev is ed Ja nu ary 2012). The

Qua li ty Assurance Project Plan (March 20 11) also was approved and u pd ated (Revised

January 2012).

In early 2012, it was determined that a s ma ll quantity of alum in um parts had gone

through the chemical conversion process and that the wa st ewat er generated from this

operation was a small fraction of the wastewat er discharged into the treatment facili ty.

Th e sludge generated fr om treatment of this wastewater may be a li st ed F019 hazar do us

waste. Aft er discussions wi th EPA, the SAP and QAPP (as revised January 2012) were

further u pdat ed to specif ic ally add F0 19 to the discussions and submitted to EPA f or
