SUMMARY 

Over 800 annual report forms were sent to companies generating and/or 

treating, storing, or disposing of dangerous waste. Three hundred-three 

companies reported to the department as generating regulated dangerous 

wastes as part of normal business operations. () 

Washington State law defines two categories of dangerous waste based 

upon the degree of risk associated with each. The Dangerous Waste Regulations specify procedures for determining whether a waste is a dangerous 

waste (DW) , extremely hazardous waste (EHW) , or undesignated, based on 

generic and specific waste lists, toxicity data, concentration, and 

monthly or batch quantity generated. During 1982, 92 percent of the 

dangerous waste was designated DW (473,020 tons) and the remaining 8 

percent EHW (42,819 tons) (Figure 2). Two hundred seventy-four companies 

(90 percent) produced DW, but only 89 companies (29 percent) reported 

generating EHW. 

Characteristic waste (i.e., ignitable, corrosive, reactive, extraction 

procedure toxic) accounted for 383,250 tons or 74 percent of the waste 

reported. Twenty-one percent was waste regulated by the State of Washington's criteria (112,175 tons). The remaining waste (20,414 tons or 

5 percent) was regulated through lists of discarded chemical commercial 

products or specific/nonspecific sources. 

The single greatest waste stream generated was hexavalent chrome 

(237,284 tons), and represented 46 percent of the waste reported. Hexavalent chrome was produced by 28 companies of the 303 reporting. The 

second and third largest waste streams were corrosive wastes (129,347 tons 

or 25 percent), and state criteria designated wastes (108,753 tons or 

21 percent). State criteria wastes are those that are toxic, persistent, 

or carcinogenic. 

The predominant physical and chemical states of the waste were liquid 

(72 percent) inorganics (88 percent), respectively. 

According to the Standard Industrial Classification'Manual manufacturing 

industries generated 339,665' tons of dangerous waste, representing 

66 percent of the total waste reported. Military installations generated 

115,879 tons (22 percent). 

Of the 515,839 tons of waste reported 87 percent remained on-site 

(442,751 tons) to be treated, stored, or disposed. Ten percent (49,242 tons) 

was sent to off-site TSD facilities within the state and 5 percent 

(23,846 tons) was sent out of the state. 

Seventy-six companies reported as permitted TSD facilities. Although 

storage was the most commonly employed handling method (82 percent of 

the companies), the majority of the waste handled was treated (331,431 tons 

or 75' percent)

• 1982 ANNUAL DANGEROUS WASTE REPORT 

GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT OF DANGEROUS WASTE IN WASHINGTON 

/ 

INTRODUCTION 

In 1976, the state Legislature adopted the Hazardous Waste Disposal Act 

(Chapter 70.105 RCW) directing the Department of 'Ecology to develop 

regulations for controlling the production, transportation, and disposal 

of extremely hazardous waste. During the same year at the federal 

level, Congress passed the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ~dopt rules for 

regulating hazardous wastes. Congress also declared that the EPA rules 

would be minimum standards, and that s~ates could operate programs in 

lieu of the federal government provided that their rules were at least 

as strict as the federal rules. 

During 1982, the Department of Ecology adopted regulations incorporating 

all federal RCRA and state requirements into one regulation. This 

regulation; Chapter 173-303 WAC, took effect in March 1982, and superseded Chapter 173-302 WAC adopted in 1977. 

• 

The new regulations require the submittal of annual reports by generators 

and owners/operators of facilities that treat, store, and/or dispose 

of dangerous waste. These reports describe waste volumes generated and 

'managed by their operations during the previous calendar year. The 

purpose of the reporting requirement is to assist the department in 

planning, implementing, and evaluating the overall dangerous waste 

management program. The department has prepared this summary of the 

1982 annual reports to provide interested persons with basic information 

on the current generation and management of dangerous waste in Washington. 

Because 1982 was the first year that annual reports were required, the 

information presented in this report is the first of its kind in Washington. The 1982 report established baseline information on dangerous 

waste activities. Future annual reports will provide an opportunity to 

detect changes in dangerous ~aste activities 'in the state. 

This report is presented in three parts. Part I presents the methodology 

and data limitations. Part II describe~ dangerous wagte generation and 

Part III summarizes the treatment, storage, and disposal of dangero~s

waste during 1982. 

1 A previous WOOE report., "An Industrial and Hazardous Waste Inventory 

of Washington', s Manufa.cturing Industries (1980), rr by Dan M. Kruger, 

February 1981, provided a first estimate of wastes generated by manufacturing industries based on a sampling of selected firms. Data from that 

• 

report are not comparable to the data presented in this repo.rt due 

primarily to regulatory changes jn the definition of dangerous waste . 

-1­
" 

P~rt I. HETHODOLOGYAND DATA LIMITATIONS 

I.n January .1983, the department sent approxim~tely 800 annual report 

f~~~s to co~panies in the state that had previously notified the depart­

~ent of dangerous waste activities (either generation or treatment, 

~tor~ge, and disposal). Six hundred ninty-three (693) form.s were completed and returned to the department; the remaining 107 forms were 

nondeliverable. 

~o distinction is made in this report between primary generation and 

secondary generation. Primary generation means wastes when they are first 

generated. Secondary generation means wastes derived from treatment 

processes. An example would be treat~~nt residues generated from the 

precipitation of heavy metals. Except for this inclusion of treatment 

residues, double counting of waste quantiti~s is believed to be minimal. 

Due to the comp~exity of the reporting requirements, it was ~ecessary for 

the <;iepartment to verify that data submitted were accurate. Phone 

follow-ups and field inspections .of selected respondents were conducted. 

However, due to staffing li!Ditations, not all dat·a could be verified. 

Part II. DANGEROUS WASTE GENERATION 

Most of the companies who were sent an Annual Report Form had previously 

notified the U. S. Envi,ronmental Protec·t~on Agency of hazardous waste 

activities. Three hundred three of the 693 respondents to the 1982 

Dangerous Waste Annual Report were determined to be active generators of 

dangerous waste. All data prese~te~ in this part will be. on these 303 

companies. Thirty-two (32) companies responded that they "occasionally" 

generate dangerous waste; but did not do so during 1982. Three hundred 

fifty-eight (358) of these companies reported that they had never generated waste (Figure 1). It appears that ~onfusion between hazardous 

waste activities andh~zardous materi~l activities (such as retail or 

wholesale sales) resulted in this ~arge number of notifiers who never 

generated dangerous waste. These companies are presently revising their 

notification to better reflect their current dangerous waste activities. 

Total dangerous waste generated ~nd r~port~d for 1982 was 515,839 tons. 

This is· waste defined and des~gnated' a~.cording to the dangerous waste 

regulations (chapter 173-303 WAC) . Most types of waste are regulat.ed 

and reportable if they are generated ~n quantities greater than 400 pounds 

per month or per batch. Certain highly toxic wastes are regulated and 

reportable if their monthly or batch ieneration exceeds 0.4 pounds. 

Throughout this report, "companies" refers to individually identified 

sites with EPA/State Identification .numbers, this includes military 

installations as well as private firms.

• Washington State law defines two categories of dangerous waste based 

upon the degree of risk associated with each. The Dangerous Waste Regulations specify procedures for determining whether a waste is a dangerous 

waste (DW), extremely hazardous waste (EHW), or undesignated, based on 

generic and specific waste lists, toxicity data, concentration, and 

monthly or batch quantity generated. During 1982, 92 percent of the 

dangerous waste was designated DW (473,020 tons) and the remaining 

8 percent EHW (42,819 tons) (Figure 2). Two hundred seventy-four 

companies (90 percent) produced DW, but only 89 companies (29 percent) 

reported generating EHW. 

Through the Dangerous Waste Regulations wastes may be designated in 

several ways. First, wastes may be designated because they appear on 

a list of discarded chemical products or a list of specific/nonspecific 

industrial sources (i.e., industrial processes that typically produce 

a hazardous by-product). Although many companies produce this type of 

waste, less than 5 percent (20,414 tons) of the reported waste was captured through these lists during 1982 (Figure 3). 

Second, wastes may be designated if they exhibit the characteristics of 

ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or EP (extraction procedure) toxicity as related to certain heavy metals or p'esticides. Seventy-four 

'percent' (383,250 tons) of the waste reported was "characteristic waste" 

and was produced by 85 percent of the generators (Figure 3). 

• Firially, wastes may be designated if they meet the state's criteria of 

toxic, persistent (containing halogenated hydrocarbons or polycyclic 

aromatic hydrocarbons), or carcinogenic. Twenty-one percent (112,175 

tons) of the	 total waste reported was regulated under the state's criteria. These wastes would not be regulated if the federal hazardous 

waste regulations were the only regulations in effect. 

Figure 4 is a closer examination of characteristic and state wastes 

presented in the previous figure. The greatest single waste stream generated during 1982 was hexavalent chrome (237,284 tons or 46 percent) an 

EP toxic constituent. 'However, hexavalent chrome was'produced by only 

28 companies (10 percent). Corrosive wastes totalled 129,347 tons 

(25 percent) during 1982 with ignitable wastes accounting for 2 percent 

of the waste reported (11,088 tons). 

Twenty-one percent (108,753 tons) of the waste reported was ~esignated

by the state's dangerous waste criteria (Figure 4). However, only 31 

companies generated this type of waste. Nineteen percent (98,723 tons) 

was designated toxic DW with the remaining 2 percent designated toxic 

EHW. 

The predominant physical state of wastes during 1982 was liquids (Figure 5). 

Liquids accounted for 372,137 tons (72 percent) with the remaining solids, 

sludges, and combinations totalling 143,702 tons (27 percent). 

• 

In terms of chemical nature, the majority· of wastes generated were 

inorganic. Inorganic wastes accounted for 451,437 tons or 88 percent 

(Figure 6).

'All respond~nts were asked to provide their SIC codes on their,business 

o ~:ac"tivity. ,These activities are classified under the Standard Industrial 

Classification Manual '1972, published by the U. S. Department of Conunerce. 

:The '~,manufacturing group (SIC 2000-3999) generated 339,665 tons of danger­

,bUs waste from 220 companies (Figure 7). This represents 66 percent of 

*11 reported waste, and 73 percent of all companies reporting for ,1982. 

Military installations in the state (SIC 9700-9799) generated 115,879 tons 

or 22 percent of the total from 10 sites. Mining (SIC 1000-i499) accounted 

for 50,000 tons (10 percent) from one generator. 

Figure 8 depicts the geographic distribution of wastes generated in
 

Washington during 1982 by 'county. Spokane,' Ki tsap, King, Stevens,
 

Cowlitz, and Pierce counties accounted for 98 percent of all waste
 

reported (Table 1). Fifty-six percent of the waste is generated in
 

the eastern portion of the state; 44 percent is generated west of the
 

Cascades. '

A geographic distribution of companies ge'nerating dangerous waste is 

presented in Figure 9. Over two-third's of the companies are located 

around the major population centers o~ Seattle/Tacoma, Spokane, and near 

Portland, Oregon (i. e., Clark a'nd Cowlitz counties). The figure represents only those 303 companies reporting waste generation to the department. The number of unidentified companies or nonnotifiers generating 

dangerous waste is unknown at this time. 

Eighty-six percent of waste generated in the state was kept on-site 

(442,751 tons) during 1982 (Figure iO). The sixty-one companies keeping 

their own waste were also permitted T5D facilities. Ten percent of the 

waste (49,242 tons) was sent to off-site TSD facilities with 5 percent 

(23,846 tons) going out-of-state. Although only 15 percent of the waste 

goes either off-Site or out-of-state these twb destinations are used by 

over half the reporting companies'. A further examination of TSD facili­

. ties follows in Part II.

• Part III. TREATMENT, STORAGE, DISPOSAL (TSD) FACILITIES. 

Seventy-six Washington companies reported to the department as treating, 

storing, and/or disposing of dangerous waste during 1982. All companies, 

herein called facilities, are permitted under interim status. Part II 

is separated into two waste management practices, 'on-site (Figures 11 

through 14) ·and off-site (Figures 15 through 18).· Facilities treating, 

storing, and/or disposing their own generated waste handle "on-site" 

wastes. Conversely, facilities receiving waste from other generators 

handle "off-site" wastes. 

Figure 11 shows that 442,751 tons of dangerous waste were kept on-site 

during 1982. Although storage was used by nearly all facilities (82 

percent), most of the waste was treated (331,431 tons). Disposal 

accounted for less than 10 percent of the waste reported. 

Figures 12 through 14 provide greater detail on the actual TSD methods 

used by facilities. In general, the three figures show that chemical 

treatment, storage by waste pile and disposal by landfilling were the 

methods used for the majority of the waste reported as kept on-site. 

Waste received from off-site generators totalled 58,683 tons (Figure 15). 

Treatment was the most widely used method for off-site wastes during 

1982. Note that although there are 76 permitted TSD facilities in the 

• 

'state only 18 facilities accepted waste from off-site generators during 

1982 . 

Figures 16 through 18 show for off-site wastes, chemical treatment, tank 

. storage, and landfill disposal were the methods used for the majority of 

the waste reported .
