Cooperative agreement recipients 

(‘‘recipients’’) have general reporting 

and record keeping requirements as a 

condition of their cooperative agreement 

that result in burden. A portion of this 

reporting and record keeping burden is 

authorized under 2 CFR part 1500 and 

identified in the EPA’s general grants 

ICR (OMB Control Number 2030–0020). 

EPA requires Brownfields program 

recipients to maintain and report 

additional information to EPA on the 

uses and accomplishments associated 

with funded brownfields activities. EPA 

uses several forms to assist recipients in 

reporting the information and to ensure 

consistency of the information 

collected. EPA uses this information to 

meet Federal stewardship 

responsibilities to manage and track 

how program funds are being spent, to 

evaluate the performance of the

II. General Information 

A. Purpose of This Notice 

The Land Disposal Restrictions 

(LDRs) are a key part of the hazardous 

waste regulatory program under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA) and require that hazardous 

wastes meet certain treatment standards 

prior to land disposal. If these standards 

are not met, land disposal of the waste 

is prohibited. The RCRA statute and 

implementing regulations allow land 

disposal of hazardous waste not meeting 

applicable treatment standards where a 

No Migration Variance (NMV) is 

approved by EPA. An NMV is a formal 

decision that can be rendered by EPA in 

response to a petition filed with the 

Agency, to allow the land disposal at a 

particular facility of specific prohibited 

waste, i.e., a waste not meeting the 

applicable LDR treatment standards. In 

Section III of this notice, EPA is 

providing information for persons who 

may wish to apply for an NMV for one 

or more temporary waste piles, where 

treated hazardous waste that is expected 

to meet LDR standards is temporarily 

stored within the boundary of a 

hazardous waste landfill prior to 

moving that waste within the landfill to 

its final disposal or removing it for 

further treatment. 

B. Background 

The regulatory requirements for an 

NMV under the RCRA LDRs were first 

established in 1986,1 and in 1992, EPA 

issued guidance on these requirements.2

The 1992 guidance is applicable to 

landfills, surface impoundments, and 

waste piles, and also acknowledges 

temporary placement of waste under an 

approved NMV; however, the guidance 

did not address the specific situation 

identified in this notice where 

temporary piles of treated waste are 

placed within the boundary of a RCRApermitted hazardous waste landfill. 

Some commercial hazardous waste 

landfill facilities offer services for 

treating hazardous waste in addition to 

providing landfill disposal. In 

determining the appropriate treatment, 

facilities evaluate the incoming waste 

streams to identify the best treatment 

strategy (e.g., type and quantity of 

reagents, mixing times). Facilities rely 

on information in waste profiles 

provided by generators, waste 

characterization conducted by the 

facility (including characterization 

specified in their Waste Analyses Plan 

or WAP), as well as familiarity with 

waste streams (e.g., if a waste stream is 

received on a routine basis from the 

same source). Once treated, facilities 

may store the treated (e.g., stabilized) 

waste temporarily in units such as 

tanks, containers or containment 

buildings to allow the treated waste to 

‘‘cure’’ and/or to confirm that the 

treated waste meets the applicable LDR 

standards. The treated waste is then 

moved into the landfill for disposal. 

EPA is aware that some facilities have 

established procedures whereby a pile 

of treated hazardous waste is 

temporarily staged within the 

boundaries of the permitted subtitle C 

landfill while awaiting confirmation by 

the facility through testing results that 

the treatment program is performing as 

expected and that the treated waste 

meets the applicable LDR standards. 

Where the treated waste is confirmed to 

meet the LDR standards, the pile is 

moved to the ‘‘working face’’ of the 

landfill for final disposal. If there is an 

exceedance of an LDR standard, the pile 

is picked up and returned to the 

treatment process for further treatment. 

Any instance where a pile does not meet 

the applicable LDR standards and has 

not been granted an NMV would be a 

violation of the LDR requirements—the 

hazardous waste must either meet the 

LDR standards, or an approved NMV 

must be in place.3

C. The NMV Process 

The NMV petition submittal and 

decision process is found in 40 CFR 

268.6. Review and approval of an NMV 

petition is delegated to the EPA 

Regional Administrator for the EPA 

Region in which the waste management 

unit is located. EPA does not authorize 

states to implement the NMV authority. 

As part of the petition process, EPA may 

request additional information from the 

petitioner to evaluate the 

demonstration. EPA will provide notice 

in the Federal Register of the intent to 

approve or deny the NMV petition with 

an opportunity for public comment. The 

final decision is to be published in the 

Federal Register, and petitions to renew 

must undergo notice and comment 

procedures as well. An NMV that has 

been issued can be revoked for cause, 

including if migration occurs. Once 

approved, the term of an NMV shall be 

no longer than the term of the RCRA 

subtitle C permit for a permitted 

disposal unit, and no longer than 10 

years for a unit operating under interim 

status. The 1992 guidance should be

considered a resource for preparation of 

any submittal, in addition to the 

considerations described here for which 

EPA is requesting comment. 

III. NMV for Temporary Waste Piles 

Within a Subtitle C Landfill 

EPA is requesting comment on the 

information provided below. The 

contents of the guidance document do 

not have the force and effect of law and 

the Agency does not bind the public in 

any way and intends only to provide 

clarity to the public regarding existing 

requirements under the law or Agency 

policies, except as authorized by law or 

as incorporated into a contract. This 

information is not a substitute for 

compliance with 40 CFR 268.6, but 

provides additional information in the 

specific situation where hazardous 

waste is treated and then is temporarily 

stored in piles within a permitted 

subtitle C landfill, prior to either 

transfer to the working face of the 

landfill, or removal for retreatment if 

necessary. 

A. Demonstration Addressed by This 

Guidance 

This guidance addresses how to make 

a demonstration that the treated waste 

and constituents will not migrate 

beyond the temporary waste pile. The 

RCRA statutory language requires a 

demonstration ‘‘to a reasonable degree 

of certainty, that there will be no 

migration of hazardous constituents 

from the disposal unit or injection zone 

for as long as the waste remains 

hazardous’’ (RCRA § 3004(d)(1)). EPA 

has interpreted this language to mean 

that it must be demonstrated, to a 

reasonable degree of certainty, that 

hazardous constituents will not exceed 

Agency-approved health-based levels 

(or environmentally protective levels, if 

they are appropriate) beyond the 

boundary of the disposal unit. While it 

is EPA’s interpretation that man-made 

barriers or engineered systems (e.g., 

liner systems) alone generally will not 

meet the ‘‘no migration’’ standard, this 

is not the case for temporary land-based 

storage of treated waste as is being 

considered in this document. The 

containment of hazardous waste within 

engineered barriers can be considered in 

making the ‘‘no migration’’ 

demonstration for waste awaiting the 

results of verification sampling after 

treatment, provided that wastes are to be 

removed after a reasonably short storage 

period that may be conservatively 

projected to be well before the failure of 

the engineered barrier system.4

B. Information To Be Submitted to EPA 

EPA expects that petitioners will be 

able to take advantage of existing facility 

information (e.g., existing monitoring, 

inspections, engineered barriers, waste 

analyses), where appropriate, as part of 

any demonstration. In developing an 

NMV petition, a petitioner must satisfy 

the no migration criteria set forth in 40 

CFR 268.6, and petitioners should 

describe any and all controls that will 

be applied to the temporary waste pile 

to prevent the migration of hazardous 

constituents from the pile, and, the 

monitoring that will be used to detect 

migration at the earliest practicable 

time. For example, the use of temporary 

barriers, such as plastic covers above 

and below the piles; visual monitoring 

and prompt responses to possible 

releases; and generally good 

housekeeping practices that ensure the 

treated waste remains in the pile during 

the temporary storage period would be 

elements to consider. Attributes of the 

permitted landfill cell (e.g., design, 

existing controls, monitoring) in which 

the pile or piles are located should also 

be taken into account to the extent that 

they support the demonstration criteria 

being applied to the piles themselves. In 

other words, if a particular control or 

requirement is in place for the landfill 

cell, and can prevent potential releases 

from the pile or piles, it should be 

described in the petition (and 

petitioners should specify how that 

control or requirement prevents 

migration from the boundary of the 

temporary waste pile). 

The regulations in 40 CFR 268.6(a) 

describe the components of what a 

demonstration must address; § 268.6(b) 

specifies certain criteria that must be 

satisfied for that demonstration, and 

§ 268.6(c) describes the monitoring 

program that will be used to verify that 

the conditions of the NMV are being 

met. The components for an NMV 

demonstration outlined in § 268.6(a) are: 

• Descriptions of the specific waste(s) 

and specific unit for which the 

demonstration will be made; 

• Waste analysis describing the 

chemical and physical characteristics of 

the waste; 

• Comprehensive characterization of 

the disposal unit site, including air, soil, 

and water quality; 

• Monitoring plan to detect migration 

at the earliest practicable time; 

• Sufficient information to assure 

EPA that the owner/operator of the unit 

receiving the wastes will comply with 

other applicable federal, state, and local 

laws. 

Below are some considerations 

regarding these components with 

respect to NMV petition submittals for 

piles temporarily storing waste within a 

subtitle C landfill that has been treated 

with the expectation that it meets the 

applicable LDR standards for permanent 

disposal in the landfill. 

Facility Description—The NMV 

petition should include a description of 

the hazardous waste management 

facility where the waste will be treated, 

temporarily stored, and permanently 

disposed in sufficient detail to 

familiarize the reviewer with its overall 

operation. This type of information and 

level of detail will be similar to those 

included in the facility’s RCRA permit 

application. The facility name, mailing 

address, and physical location should 

be provided, together with information 

on a point of contact for correspondence 

concerning the petition. Detailed design, 

layout, and operating plans should be 

provided for the unit covered by the 

petition. Unit descriptions should focus 

on waste isolation capabilities of the 

unit. 

Unit(s) Covered by the NMV—While 

the temporary waste piles addressed in 

this document are located within the 

boundaries of the RCRA-permitted 

landfill cell, the unit to which the 

variance applies, as envisioned in this 

guidance, is the pile itself. The 

information presented here is for a 

demonstration that the treated waste 

and constituents will not migrate 

beyond the temporary waste pile. Where 

different piles containing different types 

of treated hazardous waste are 

simultaneously staged within the 

landfill cell, each pile should be 

described and will be evaluated, as 

necessary, individually by EPA in order 

to properly assess potential releases 

when evaluating petitions, and for 

evaluating the monitoring that will be 

part of implementing any approved 

variance. Where multiple piles contain 

the same or similar wastes, the petition 

can address these units as a group. For 

example, where two or more piles are 

similar in terms of the nature and 

concentration of constituents, treatment 

used, waste matrices, etc., the petition 

need not separately specify or discuss 

such information for each individual 

pile where such piles are effectively 

being managed as a single unit. 

Similarly, where the design, inspection, 

and monitoring of the pile coverings 

and liners that will be used to prevent 

releases from the piles are the same for 

multiple piles, such information on 

each individual pile need not be 

specified. In other words, a successful 

petition could include several categories 

of treated waste piles, but sufficient 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 19, 2021 / Notices 5193 

information must be included so that 

the potential for releases, and proposed 

inspection and monitoring, can be 

evaluated by EPA. 

While the unit(s) to be evaluated 

under this guidance are the temporary 

waste piles, petitioners should also 

submit information related to the 

landfill to the extent the information 

aids in any demonstration that 

hazardous constituents will not migrate 

beyond the boundary of the temporary 

waste pile. For example, hazardous 

waste landfill design and operating 

requirements (40 CFR 264.301) include 

run-on and run-off controls that may be 

important in any demonstration that 

hazardous waste will not migrate from 

the pile. The specific location of where 

the temporary waste piles will be placed 

within the landfill cell should be 

identified in the petition, together with 

any pertinent information as to why this 

location was selected and how it will 

prevent the migration of hazardous 

constituents from the pile. These 

locations will be identified as part of 

any approved variance. 

This document only applies where 

wastes managed in the temporary waste 

piles have been treated with the 

expectation that the waste meets the 

applicable LDR standards for permanent 

disposal in the landfill. A facility 

should include information about what 

types and quantities of waste are to be 

managed in the temporary waste piles 

and what treatment standards apply. 

Most of this information is presumed to 

already be available as part of the 

facility’s WAP and associated program 

for sampling and monitoring for 

compliance with the LDRs. 

Duration of Temporary Storage—The 

NMV is necessary to ensure that any 

temporary storage of treated hazardous 

waste complies with the stringent 

statutory and regulatory standards in 

those instances where the hazardous 

waste that was treated and placed in a 

temporary waste pile does not meet 

LDRs. The approach described in this 

document is conditioned upon the 

temporary nature of the storage of 

treated hazardous waste within the 

landfill, and is intended for situations 

where the temporary waste piles are 

used as part of an overall strategy to 

confirm consistent and compliant 

treatment that meets the applicable LDR 

treatment standards. 

The petition should include a 

description of the length of time the 

waste is managed in the pile before 

either transfer to the working face of the 

landfill, or removal for retreatment, if 

necessary. A range of time may be 

provided, but EPA emphasizes that the 

temporary nature of the pile must be 

clearly characterized in the petition, 

such as through maximum storage times 

or other procedures described in the 

application, that may become part of the 

conditions established in an approved 

variance. 

However, if any particular staging 

location routinely receives treated waste 

that does not meet applicable LDR 

standards, then the ‘‘temporary’’ aspect 

of storage for a given location may be 

called into question, which could affect 

the ability for EPA to grant the NMV. 

This also raises the separate question of 

whether the overall treatment process is 

operating as well as it should. 

Therefore, it is important for the 

petition to describe in sufficient detail 

the procedures used to treat, test, and 

confirm that wastes meet LDR 

standards, and how this information 

will be used to determine when a pile 

will be removed either for retreatment, 

or for final disposal. Such information 

should be available as part of the 

facility’s WAP and may include: 

• Number and type (e.g., random 

grab) of samples taken after treatment 

for LDR compliance; 

• Methodology used to select number 

and type of samples; 

• Level of confidence that all waste is 

treated to LDR treatment standards 

(level of confidence related to number of 

samples achieving LDRs); 

• List of regulated constituents (suite 

of metals, selected organics, cyanide). 

Monitoring Plan—40 CFR 268.6(a)(4) 

requires a petition to include a 

monitoring plan to verify continued 

compliance with the conditions of the 

no migration variance. Pursuant to 40 

CFR 268.6(a)(4), the monitoring plan 

must be designed to detect migration ‘‘at 

the earliest practicable time.’’ 40 CFR 

268.6(c) lays out the specific 

information required in the monitoring 

plan. In addition to these requirements, 

the monitoring plan should also 

describe the sampling and analysis of 

the treated waste that determines when 

the temporary waste pile will be moved 

to the working face of the landfill for 

final disposal. The demonstration 

should allow EPA to understand the 

process and timing of LDR treatment 

and confirmation that LDRs are met; this 

is fundamental to defining the scope 

and duration of storing treated waste 

temporarily.
