Exhibit 1: A Description of the RIS Landban Notification 

Certification Form 

Purpoce: The purpose of Land Ban Notification and Land Ban Certification is to identify 

hazardous wastes that are restricted from land disposal, define those limited circumstances 

under which an otherwise prohibited waste may continue to be land disposed, notify the 

appropriate parties about wastes that do not meet the applicllble treatment standards of 40 

CFR 268 and OAC 3745-270, and certify wastes that do meet the applicable treatment 

standards of 40 CFR 268 and OAC 3745-270. 

Desc:riptiOD.. Each initial incoming waste shipment which is subject to the Land Disposal 

Restrictions and has been treated, exempted, meets the variance requirements, or otherwise 

meets · the appropriate treatment standaid or prohibition without treatment must be 

accompanied by a Land Ban Certification Form from the ~ or generator, certifying the 

waste meets the appropriate treatment standard, prohibition or variance and must include any 

applicable· analytical data or references .to such data or documentanon in accordance with 40 

CFR 268 and Column C ofTable I ofOAC 3745-270-07. 

The initial incoming waste shipment which is subject to the Land Disposal Restrictions and 

still require treatment must he accompanied by a Land Ban Notification Form from the 

generator notifying the facility that the waste requires further treatment. Applicable items 

from Columns A of Table 1 in OAC 3745-270-07 that, at a minimum, must be included on 

the notification are: 

• EPA Ha2llfdous Waste Identification Numbers 

• Manifest Document Number of the fitst shipment 

• Notification that the waste is subject to land disposal restriction. 

• The constituents of concern for FOOI-F005, and F039, and underlying hazardous 

oonstituents in characteristic wastes, unless the waste will be treated and 

tnonitored for aU constituents. If all constituents will be treated and monitored, 

there is no need to put them all on the land disposal restriction notice. 

• The notice must include the applicable wastewater/non-wastewater category and 

subdivisions made. Y(ithin a waste <:9de based on waste-specific criteria.

Exhibit J: A Description of RIS' Compatibility Test 

Documentation Summary 

Purpose. To describe the procedure for determining the compatibility of different wastes by 

mixing small quantities, and observing and reporting any reactions which may occur. 

Description. Compatibility tests are perfonned on blended was~. Typically, the CSF 

Operator refers to the Handling Instructions for specific handling information, then decides 

which dock tan.1c will be used for processing the material. Once the dock tank is chosen, a 

sample from the dock tank is eXtracted. The sample is collected in a five-gallon pail by 

bleeding off the pressure of the dock tank. The sample is mixed with representative samples 

from the drums to be processed and allowed to settle for a short period of time. If the 

material does not react, the load is processed. If a reaction occurs, the material is ~ept for 

further evaluation and/or an alternatiye process method is used. 

Compatibility testing on dock process waste streams when doc!c blends are created is 

documented on the Compatibility Analysis Report. Included on the report is the following 

information: 

• RIS Form number 

• Samples to be tested (C!Ns, tanker numbers and storage tan.lc numberS) 

• Shipper Number and WPS Nwnber for each drum to be dock: processed 

• Date of analysis and person completing fonn 

• The .average initial temperature of the wastes to be dock processed. 

• The final "mix" temperaturc of tbe waste to be dock processed 

• Comments regarding visible reactions, temperature changes and incompatibilities. 

• Conclusion: Compatible or Incompatible 

• (Docie Processing- for billing pwposes only on non·pumpable drums): Shipper; 

WPS; Cotmt; and Reason why 

Waste Management Penonnel Affected. ·Receiving personnel perform compatibility 

testing and record this information in the Operating Record.

1.0 lntroduttton 

Proper waste characterization is the most critical q>mponent in detennining 

oompatibility between wastes streams managed at the Ross lncin~tion Services, Inc. 

C'RIS") facility. RIS minimizes the possibility of WICOntrolled reactions due to waste 

incompatibility through the proper identification of the chemical and physical properties of 

the wastes. Prior to storage or treatment of a waste, RIS evaluates the waste using at a 

minimum: the WPS, WCV, visual inspection and the fingerprint analysis. RIS then iden~fies 

any properties of the waste which could potentially initiate or support an Wldesired reaction 

With other waste if mixed. The information gleaned from the RIS waste accq>tance system is 

used to determine the proper waste management practices. From this information RIS 

identifies if the waste must be segregated from other waste in order to avoid unwanted 

reactions. In certain cases, waste compatibility testing is conducted to identify waste 

incompatibilities. Compatibility testing is performed as appropriate and is dependent upon 

feed location, potential for blending waste, storage area of the waste [tanks, Container 

Storage Facility ("CSF"), Bulk Storage Areas ("BSAs") or Oxidizer Storage Building 

("OSB")), container size and type, and quantity of waste received. 

The Receiving Department is responsible for identifying potential 

incompatibilities between incoming wastes and wastes already in storage and for 

proposing the proper storage, processing, and management requirements for the waste. 

The compatibility chart included in EPA 60012-80.076 "A Method for 

Determining the Compatibility of Hazardous Waster is consulted to determine the 

potential effects of mixing wastes with d ifferent reactivity groupings. In cases where 

potential incompatibility is indicated, the waste will be separated from other 

incompatible materials. Figure 1.0 "Hazardous Waste Compatibility Chart" is a copy of 

the referenced chart. RIS is extremely conservative during evaluation of 

incompatibilities. Consequently, compatibility evaluations may be completed at various 

points throughout the receiving process. Compabbility tests are done on conforming 

profiled materials whicb have already been through the RIS fingerprint process and 

evaluated by the laboratory. During the compatibility tests, RIS takes extreme care not 

to blend energetic wastes and ·blends only limited quantities (e.g. 250-SOO ml) of the 

waste.

2.0 Compatibility Gllldellnes for Warle Stored ia Tanks 

RIS recognizes the importance of determining the compatibility of the w~es with the 

fanlcs' design as well as with wastes stored in tl_le tanks. Therefore, RIS begins compatibility 

evaluation of incoming waste during the pn>acccptaocc process. Please refer to Scctioo C2e (!Xa), "Pte-acceptance ProoeduresH for a description of RIS' extensive waste 

d!aracteriution pr~tices. The technical staff reviews all pertinent waste data collected from 

Waste Product Survey ("WPSj, Waste Component Verifieation ("WCV"), and literature . 

review. This information is used to determine tho compatibility of the wasto with the tank's 

design before identifying an appropriate tank process code. RIS samples liquid streams in 

accordance with this Waste Analysis Plan ("W APj visual inspection and fingeq>rint analysis 

during the receiving process. The visual inspection and fingerprint data confirm the waste 

cbancteristics, Fingerprilit parameters indicate cyanide and sulfide mctivity to further assist 

Receiving pecsonnel in compatibility assessment and waste classification. Special 

compatibility studies, the 5-gaUon bucket test (See Exhibit 1 of this W AP for a description of 

this form) and laboratory procedure FP-009-001 (See Appendix C-3, for this procedure), may 

be completed at the request of the Receiving Department when additional inforroation may 

be warranted. A series of evaluations arc comploted at various points throughout the· 

receiving process and the "5 gallon bucket" test is typically one step in the evaluation 

process. Tho laboratory compab"bility sn.dy may be completed in lieu of the "5-gallon 

buck~ test and is usually requested when large quantities of waste are received at the 

facility. The laboratory compatibility test may also be requested when a waste mixtnre 

contains a component that by itself would not be coruridered for tank farm storage but the 

mi11ture does not exhibit the incompatible characteristics of the component. 

The "5 gallon bucket" test is done on conforming profiled materials which have ' . ' 

already been through the RIS fingerprint process and evaluated by the laboratory. During the 

~s-gallon" buclcct tes1, RIS takes extreme care not to blend energetic wastes and blends only 

limited quantities (e.g. 250-SOO ml) of the waste. These compatibility studies look fur the 

evolution of gas during blending; temperature change during blending; polymerization of the 

blended wastes; and spontaneous combustion. Again, liquids arc classified as to their 

compatibility with the taDks used. to store the waste and the tank process codes arc verified. 

Finally, Production personnel authorize waste transfer to tank storage. All compatibility test 

results will be documented in the Operating Record.

When reactive waste is received at the facility, it will be fed directly to the 

incinerator. Although RlS makes every attempt to isolate customers' Y(aste, RJS can blend 

compatible wastes within a single tank. RJS will only blend wastes wtder appropriate 

conditions. Consequently, RIS may nm a compatibility test on a waste stream to assure that 

it docs not polymerize with waste previously found in the tank. Should the ·need arise to 

store a waste that is incompatible with the historical contents of a tank, RlS will empty the . . . 

tank ~d thoroughly rinse and visually inspect the tank prior to introducing waste. RJS 

utilizes the Tanlc Farm Log to record potential incompatibilities. 

Compatibility tests are performed on all dock system !lrum loads. Typically, the dock 

laborer refers to the handling instructions for specific handling information, then decides 

which dock tank wiU·be used for processing the material. Once the tank is chosen, a sample 

from the dock tank is extracted. The-sample is collected in a five-gallon pail from the tank. 

The sample Is mixed with representative samples from the drums or bulk tanker shipment· 

and allowed to settle for a sbort period of time. If the material does not react, the load is 

processed. If a reaction occurs, the 1114lerial is kept for further evaluaiion· and/or an 

alternative process method is used. The Standard Operating Procedure for the waste 

filigerprint compatibility test is included_ in Appendix C-3 as FP-009..00 I, and a description 

of the "5 gallon bucket" test is in Exhibit J . 

Table 2.0 entitled "Procedures and Precautions to Prevent Reactions of Incompatible 

Wastes in Tanks'' lists specific procedures and precautions taken by RIS to prevent reactions 

which I) general~ extreme heat or violent reactions; 2) produce uncontrolled toxic mists in 

sufficient quantities to threaten human health and the environment; 3) produce uncontrolled 

fllUliJIIable fumes in sufficient quantities to pose a risk of fire or explosion; 4) damage the

Bays are areas withiil the CSF where materials are stored without the use of a racking 

system, whereas racking bays are areas of the CSF where materials are stored using a 

fivelevel racking system. Incompatible wastes are segregated in the CSF by placement in 

designated racking bays. ~ SeCtion D for additional CSF storage information. 1'he CSF 

has a 6-inch·high cwb that separates the 18 storage areas, (bays and raclcing bays) with 

separate sump areas. This. will allow.for the segregation of incompatible wastes should the 

need arise. Bar code labels on all containers include·a hazard class code, which determines 

where the material is to be stored. The racks in the racking bays are equipped with signs 

designating the type of waste that can be stored in that particular_row. · 

Each waste category is stored in these designated areas. For example, corrosives 

(acids/bases) are isola"ted from each other and from the bay where reactive sul~des and 

cyanides or high halogens are stored. Waler reactives are dedicated to a single racking bay. 

RlS will store other compatible wastes in the bays or aisles designl!fed for ~ waste type. 

For example, combustibles will be stored in the unused portions of the high halogen raclcing 

bay or the unused portions of the other bays. 

RlS may use the available storage space in another compatible bay or racking bay if 

the capacity of the bay or racking bay would be exceeded by storing additional waste. For 

example, if a large qu~tity of high halogen waste is received, RIS may designate additional 

racking bays as high halogen storage racking bays. Although RIS may alter the arrangement, 

RlS will comply with the overall principles and concepts pertaining to segregation of 

incompatibles. Additionally, RIS will store non-hazardous waste and malerials for RIS use fn 

accordance with the information contained in Appendix 2, Compatibility Guidelines, of this 

· W AP. Further infoonation reg~ng storage of containers can be referenced in Section D

procedures and are knowledgeable in the following requirem~ts rcguding waste 

segregation. 

• Corrosives cannot be stored with or adjacent to sulfidelcyanido bearing wastes or 

high halogens .

• Combustibles/Flammables can be stored in any open space except with, or 

· adjacent to oxidizers (most materials are combustible even though they are 

classified as something else.) . 

• Oxidizers must always remain segregated from other wastes. 

• Water reactive wastes are stored in a segrega!ed bay or racking bay. Additional 

measures to prevent water from contacting this waste include installation of drip 

pans or barriers. Equivalent measUres such as removing water from containment 

swnps may also be employed. 

3.2 Bulk Storage Areas 

RIS only stores hazardous waste without free liquids in the BSAs. RIS only accepts 

hazardous waste in containers which meet DOT requirements. RIS only stores hazardous 

waste in the BSAs in containers made of, or lined with, materials which will not read with, 

and are otherwise compatible with, the hazardous waste to be stored. This ensures the ability 

of the container to contain the waste is not impaired. 

As part of RIS' waste segregation policy, incompatible wastes and materials will not 

be placed in the same containers, and haZacdous waste shall not be placed in an unwashed 

container that previously held an inoompatible waste or material. In addition, if incompatible 

wastes are stored in the BSAs, RIS will keep them physically separated fro'm other wastes 

and materials by means of portable berms, bags of compatible absorbent materials, drip pans, 

bins or other devices. 

Operators are trained in RIS storage procedures and are knowledgeab)e in the 

following waste segregation requirements: 

• Corrosive wastes cannot be stored with or adjacent to sulfide/cyanide bearing 

wastes or. high halogens:· 

• Combustibles containing water can not be stored with water reactivcs. 

• Combustible and flammable waste can be stored in 'any open space except with, or 

adjacent to, oxidizers. 

RIS does not store oxidizers or water reactive wastes in the BSAs. In addition to RIS 

procedures and US-DOT packaging requirements, RIS will assure compatibility of wastes 

'with containers through daily inspections of the BSAs .

4.0 Compatibility Guldellus for Waste Bandied at tho Incinerator 

RIS' incinerator is uniquely designed to allow, in most cases, the introduction of waste 

directly to the combustion cbamber. Assuring compatibility of waste at the incinerator is 

necessary only at feed locations where waste can potentially commingle prior to complete 

combustion. 

Procedures for assuring compatibility of wastes· at these feed locations are discussed in 

the following sections. 

Therefuro, c;ompatibility of wastes need not be addressed for these feed systems. 

4.1 Main Chamber Side Door Feed Mechulsm 

The dltlerent!ation between each waste stream is based on heating value, pwnpability, 

reactivity, toxicity, halogen content, compatibility with inventoty, and quantity received .

· RIS assesses 

the reactivity group number ("RGN") data for each WPS and compares them against a 

compatibility matrix.. Ally potential incompatibilities are flagged so the Receiving staff can 

segregate the WPSs appropriately. Compatibility of materials will· be established by use of 

storage classifications (e.g., combustibles, flammables, etc.), past experieQ!:C with the waste. 

streams, and the use ofa revised version of the hllzardous waste compatibility chart (EPA-600-

2-80-076) as provided in Figure 4.0 entitled "Hazardous Waste Compaboility Chart, Side 

Door." 

Based on the revised compatibility chart, oo wastes will be set up for 

processing at the same time which may result in an incompatibility conseq_uence of explosion, 

violent polymerization, or an unknown but potentially hazardous reaction. 

Emeq:ency siiWitions include bulging drums, fuming or spraying dnuns, burning drums 

and drums which are beginning to react dangerously or generate heat.

In the event of an emergency , RIS will notifY the O.hio EPA by certifying !hat the container of 

such wasteS poses inordinate risk to 'lwmaD health or the environment by not processing the 

waste immediately. RIS shall submit to Ohio EPA a written certification signed by a 

responsible corporate official. This certification shall include: (I) .the container identification 

number; (2) in the case where container deterioration requires the waste to be processed for 

safety reasons, a det8lled' physical description of the container; (3) the WPS number; (4) a 

detailed statement descn'bing the hazard posed by not- fuclnerating the waste; and (S) a 

certification ~ handling and incineration of the container and its contents can, and will, be 

done safely and iri accordance with all relevant laws and pennits. 

U Main Chamber Laaee Direct Feed. 

Based on ·the WPS and previous waste stream laiowledge, RIS will assure 

compatt'bility betweeo waste ·material being fed to the Side Door and waste material being 

fed from the direct feed containing any of the following elemental met-als at concentrations 

greater than I ()()().ppm.: Aluminum, Uthium, Magnesium, or Thallium. 

4.3 Klla Aqer Shredder. 

Based on the WPS and previous v,:aste stream knowledge, RIS will assure 

compatibility of waste streams fed to the auger shredder. Waste streams to be fed to the 

aul!er shredder must meet the following guidelines so that these streams can be freely mixed 

in tlic auger shredder in the proper solids to ·liquids ratio:

Ross Incineration Services, Inc. (RIS) m:eives a variety of wastes from off-site 

.generators in bulk (receptacles housing 110 gallons or more, e.g., tank lnlclcs, to_tes, and 

intermediate bulk containers - IBCs) and noo-bullc containers (receptacles housing less than 

II 0 gallons, e.g., drums, pails, buckets). Additionally, RlS manages WBSte which it. 

• generates onsite. These two types of wastes (off•site generated and on-site generated) vary 

widely in chemical and physicai cbaractcristics. This pian addresses sampling strategies, . 

melh.ods, equipment, QA/QC & Health and Safety' procedures f01: both off-site and oo-site 

generated waste. 

. Analytical testing may be petfunued on these wastes due to regulatory requirements 

associaltid wilh. waste treatment, the nature of these wastes, and the residuals they produce. 

RIS uses representative sampling and corresponding Iaboratory analysis to aid in the 

verification and determination of the physical and chemical characteri.stlcs of hazardous 

waste. Specific sampling methods used to obtain representative samples are depende ~ on 

the type of contaminants and nature of waste. This sampling pian presents the foHowing

Representative sampies are expected to exhibit the properties of the entire sample 

population, therefore, enable RIS to aiW.n its primary sampling objective which is to collect . 

accurate and precise samples that can be measured to confirm the chemical properties of the 

waste. Since the sampies are sufficiently aocurate and precise, they will therefore be 

considered reliable estimates of the chemical properties of.the waste.

Samples collectod for fiogerprin1 aDalysis, metals analysis, PCB analysis, and residuls analysis are 

collected in kCW!<Ianc<o with lhe follOWing samplillg stntegies. 

1.1 Sampling Strategies for W astc Received 'from Off-site 

. Typical hazardous and 11011-hazardoiu · waste received at. RIS include: halogenated and non· 

·halogenated spen1 solvents, pafut wastes, off-specification oomniercial c.bOinical products, conswiter products, · 

spill ~ and wastes 'generated by the fo~ing industries: paint and coatings. organic and inOtpnic 

chemical, adhesive, pesticide, petroleum refining. and the ink formulation industries. This list is not 

comprebeDsive, but represents most categories of waste baodled at RIS.

types the same. No P,.eference ·is to be placed on one container size or shape versus another. J;11o preference is 

to be placed on one waste !Y_PC over. another. Rather, contain<:n are to be chosen randolilly. For 'example, 

cootainas are to be off-loaded and randomly arranged ioto rows, and then every ninth container will be

. 1.2 Sampling Strategies for Waste Generated On-Site 

Residual$ routinely gencruted by R1S that require sampling and analysis include 

inciiterator ash, filter cake {i.e., de-watered fly ash sludge) and scrubber water. In~ 

ash is produced from the incineration of wastes in RIS' kiln and main chamber. Incinerator 

ash is a non-<:Ornbustiblc material generated as a result of baurdous waste being burned in 

the RlS incineration system. It is a soil or glass like material that is quenched upon removal 

from the system and conveyed to containers for de-watering !hen transportation off-site. 

Filter cake, a solid material, · is produced from de-watering fly ash. · Fly ash is a noncombustible parti~ate material contained in incinerator off-gases. The small fly ash particle 

i5 removed from the incinerator off-gases by RIS' air· pollution control system. Scrubber 

water is used in lhe air pollution control system to clean and cool incinerator off-gases. II 

contains small amounts of suspended fly ash that were not removed through the solids 

set_tiing process. Spent scrubber water is removed from the closed loop system when the sati 

content of the water becomes" elevated. 

It is necess1I)' to pc<form rqx-csentacive analyses on the residual$ generated by RlS to 

determine if the wastes meet treatment standsrds established by ihe land disposal restriction 

regulations. ROutine analyses of lhcse residuals wtll be performed; therefore, a prescribed 

method for obtaining .representative samples to ensure consistent analyses is essential. The 

regulations pertaining to the management of hazardous waste require !hat represenllllivc 

samples of waste, which exhibit avCI'llgc properties of the whole waste, be collected. This· 

sampling plan allows for sampling in a prescribed manner to assure representative sampling 

·of RIS generated residuals.

Composilin& of samples involves combining a number of grab samples from the same 

·waste· container. Since compoSiting yields 8 more repreSentative (and consequently more ' . accurate) sample, it is employed throughout this sampling plan. 

1.2.1 Sampling Approach 

RlS lUeS systematic random sampling, 8 type of probability sampling. as a sampling 

strategy for on-site gericnted residuals. Systematic random sampling has one significant . 

advantage, it provides an ilicrea.se in sampling precision since the samples arc distributed 

more evenly over the population. Systematic random sampling also relies on madiematical 

and statistical theories to allow for an evaluation of the effectiveness of sampling procedures. 

The solids residual sampling program employs e: combination of systematic random sampling 

and judgmental sampling to achieve the accuracy and appropriate precision required of the 

analyses of the chemical constituents. This sampling strategy will assure that ~tative 

samples of ash and filtu cake are collected. In random sampling, every unit in the 

population has a theoretically equal chance of being sampled and measured. Techniques 

described to sample these residuals w~ developed in accordance with the EPA te~t methods 

for evaluating solid waste (SW-846) Volume II: Field Manual, PhysicaVChemical methods, 

"Sampling Plan" (Chapter 9). 

1.2.2 SampJe'I)ye and Number · _ 

RlS will conduct incinerator ash sampling q\llrtedy for 8 comprehalsive list of Land 

Disposal Restriction.("LDR") parameters, wruch have been identified in Table 3. ·Residuals 

Analytical Panhcters and Methods Summary. Additionally, RlS will conduct a limited 

monthly analytical evaluation of ash residuals for target constituents more likely to b.e found 

in the residual ash based on typical feed streams. (See the Waste Analysis Plan Section C. 

3d, Additional Requirements for Treatment Facilities) 

If the quarterly analytical results indicate that LOR ~etm have been met, RIS 

will ship the residual ash off-site for disposal. In the event that an incinerator ash quarterly 

sampling event provides data that does' not meet Land Disposal Restriction parameters, RlS 

Wlll n>-sample and ~analyze the residual utilizing the same sampling plan and analytical 

method. The ro-samplc is intended to validate the existing data and remove any concern 

about cll'Oneous analysis (e.g.; due to external. contamination). If the second incinerator ash

processing on-site or transport the residual olf·site ·for additional asseSsment at another 

facility. Following an unsu<X:eSSful quarterly sanlpling event, residuals will be shipped off.. 

site for additional assessment until a second residual container can be chosen and sampled. 

Additionally, RJS will add the failed LOR parameter to the next monthly sampling event's 

~exduding dioxins/furans) abbreviated list of constituents. · 

If the monthly analytical results indicate that LDR parameters have been met, RJS 

will ship the residual ash off-site for disposal. In the event that a monthly sampling event 

provides data that does not meet Land Disposal Restriction. parameters, RIS will re-sample 

· and re-analyze the residual container utllizing the same sampling plan and analytical method. 

The ~samp e is intended to validate the existence of the data and remove any concern about 

erroneous analytii:al data due to external contamination. If the second sample is returned 

with data outside LOR parameters, RIS will either re-process the original residual or 

lrdnspurt the residual off-site for additional assessment at anotlier facility. Following an 

unsuccessful. monthly sampling event, a daily residuals' sampling event will continue for a 

maximum of three days and residuals will c<>ntioue to be shipped off-site for additional 

assessment until at least one residual sampling event provides analytical results within J.DR 

parameters. Samples arc taken as indicated in Section 1.1.2 and sampling takes into account 

the variability of the wastes and treatment process. Additional analysis is performed in the 

event that there is a change in the composition of the waste or the treatment process. 

Deviations from standard sampling methods wiU be noted in the facilitY operating record. . · 

RIS will conduct filter cake sampling quarterly for a comprehensive list of LOR 

parameters which have boen identified in Table 3 - Residual Analytical Parameters and 

Methods Swnmary. If the quarterly analytical results indicate that LOR parameters have 

. been met, RIS will ship the residual off-site for disposal. In the event that .the analytical 

results indicate that LOR parameters have not been met, RIS may further treat the residual to 

meet treatment standards or seek an alternate off-site treatment technology. 

RIS will conduct scrubber water sampling biannually for a comprehensive list of 

LOR parameters which have boen identified in Table 3 -Residual Analytical Parameters and 

Methods Sllll11lllli'Y. If the analytical results indicate that LOR parameter$ have been met,

RIS wiU then ship the scrubber water off-site for disposal. Conversely, should the analytical 

teSU)ts indlca!e that LOR parameters have not been llld, RIS may further treat the residual.to 

meet treatment standards or seek an off-slte treatment technology. 

Although RIS residuals sampling can occur at any time within the ·quarter, RIS 

typically samples before the 61\h week of the quarter. Discrepancies from the procedures 

berein will be noted in the operating reconL 

2.0 Sampling Eqalpment 

2.1 Sampling Equlpm~t for Waste Received from Off-Site 

Samples are collected from randomly identified containers using an appropriate piece 

of equipment.. Although procediues and equipment may be updated 10 reflect new equipment 

and procedures as new tecintology is employed, Table I entitled "Sampling Equipment for 

Particular Waste Types" delineates the sampling devices and circumstances under which the 

equipment may be used. Sampling equipment wiU be chosen based on the physical and 

. chemical parameters of the sample . 

2.2 Sampling Equipment for Waste Generated On-Site 

Samples are collected from randomly identified containers using an appropriate piece 

of equipment Although procedures and equipment may be updated 10 reflect new equipQleot 

and. procedures as new technology is employed, Table I entitled ·"Sampling Equipment for. 

.Particular Waste Types" delineates the sampling devices and circumstances under which the 

equip!llent may be used. Sampling equipment will be chosen based on the physical and 

chemical parameters of the sample. 

3.0 Maintaining and Decontamination of SampliDg Equipment 

RIS inspects its sampling equipment before sampling io ensure. proper operation, 

Additic:>nally, gross chemical contamination is removed from the equipment before reuse. 

Cleaning and decontamination procedur~:s for sampling equipment begin with removal of all 

loose·debris from the equipment, followed by a cleaning·process which corresponds with the

sample purpose. For example, RIS dcoontaminates equipment used to take fingerprini 

samples. With apj>ropri~tely less stringent standards than samples intended for VOC analysis. 

Additionally, RIS useS disposBble samPling equipment whooever possible to avoid cross-. 

contamination. Should equipment maintenanco be required, RIS will generally follow the 

equipment manufactum's specifications. 

3.1 Maintaining and Decontamination of Sampling Equipment Used.forWaste Received 

from Off-Site 

'RlS inspects its sampling equipment before sampling to ensure proper operation. 

S~ce R1S typically uses disposable sampli.pg equipment, and sin~ R1S samples waste 

received. from off·sitc facilities for fingerprint analysis, equipmealt decontamination is I~ 

essential .. Therefore, cleaning and decontamination is generally limited to removal of all . . 

loose debris from the samplliig equipment. RlS will either use disposable sampling 

equipment when sampling for metals and/or PCB analysis, and TCLP ~alysis; or RlS will 

appropriately decontaminate reusable sampling equipment used for sampling for metals 

' analysis, PCBs analysis, and TCLP analysis. 

3.2 Maintaining and Deoontamillation of Sampling Equjpment Used for Waste Generated 

On.Site 

Although disposable sampling equipment is . used ~henever possible, 

. decontamination of field eq~pment is essential to avoid .cross-Contamination of .residual 

. samples. The following list of equipment is typically ~eeded to adequately decontaminate 

sampling equipment: wire or nylon brush, decontamination reagents (de-ionized wllter; 

methyl alcohol, dilute hydrochloric acid), tap water, laboratory . grooe squirt bottles, 

aluminum foil, safety glasses, disposable gloves, and containers to store used rinseate. 

Di:contamination ~f sampling equipment will typically take place in the fingsprint 

laboratory. All waste is accumulated as laboratorY waste and managed aoo:irding . to 

applicable waste management practices. Sampling equipment is dcoontaminilted. by lint 

remoVing all gross residual ~ from ~e equipment lisin8 the nylon or wue brush. Then, 

the equipment is rinSed with d009ntamination reagen~ in the following order. tap water, de· 

ionized water, dilute hydrocbloric acid, de-ionized water, methyl alcohol, de-ionized water. 

Finally, tbe decontaminated eqUipment is air dried and wrapped in aluminum foil for field

• 

• 

Samples colleCted for fingerprint analysis, metals analysis, PCB analysis, and 

residuals analysis are collected in accordance With this Sampling Plan and are properly 

~ed and stored in accordance with applicable SW -846 Methods. Appropriate 

containers, holding times and preservatives are typically provided by the laboratory in 

accordance with SW-846 procedures (or the equivalent) and are found in Talile 2 • Sample 

Containers, Preservatives and Holding Times. 

4.1· Sample Preservation, Holding Times and Containers for Wastes Received from Off. 

Site 

Generally, sample preservation is not necessary (or not applicable due to the sample 

malrix) since sample analysis typically occurs within 72 hours. Samples are retained in tbe 

· fingerprint laboratozy sample cabinets in accordance with la))ora!Ory procedures (refer to 

W AP Appendix C-3, Laboratory Procedures). For fingerprint laboratOrY analysis, RlS 

· typically uses eight (8) 0unce glass sample containers with metal lids lined with an inert · 

material. 

Typically, a commercial (outside) laboratozy will complete metals and PCB analysis 

for waste received from off-site facilities. Aliquots of the composited sample are placed in 

sample containers provided by the outside laboratory before sample collection. Designated 

fingerprint lab personnel will relrieve the sample containers, identify the amount of sample 

required for analysis, obtain a chain-o f-custody form and fill the appropriate . sample 

container. After .taking the sample, it will be .prepared for shipment off-site by: sealing the 

sample container and completing the cbain-of·custody form . 

. 4.2 Sample Preservation, Holding Times and Containers for Waste Generated On-Site 

Typically, a· commercial (outside) lab will analyze RIS' residual samples. The 

· · commercial lab will send containers (and presen-atives), including a trip blank to be used for 

collecting samples. These containers will be received before sample oollection. " The 

individual assigned to obtain the field samples will retrieve these sample cOntainers, identify 

lbe amount of sample required for the analysis, obtain a sample collection record and cbainof~ustody form then proceed to the field .

After taking 'the sample, the person taking the sample will identify the necessary 

preservative· (s) for ~ch sample, and proceed with preserVing the sample (s) before shipment 

to the commerciil laboratory. Table 2 • Sample Containers, Preservatives and Holding 

Times contains a lise of sample preservation and containerization requirements. RIS may 

change laboratories (and therefore 'possibly containers) without modifying this document, as 

long as the change is to an equivalent laboratory or one with similar capabilities and RJS has 

performed an audit of said laboratory. Once the sample has been collected by the designated 

operations personnel, presccved, and prepared for transportation to the outside laboratory, the 

sample and cbain-of-<:UStody form are forwarded to the fingerprint laboratory. 

S.O Sampllna Quality Assuraace and Quallly Control Procedures 

Quality assurance is the process for ensuring that all data and the decisions based on 

these data are technically sound, statistically valid, and properly documented. Quality 

control procedures employed to document the accuracy and precision of sampling include: 

I. The existence of a sampling plan to comnlwtlcate sampling methods, 

2. Laboratory protocOls to assure uniformity of analytical methods (Refer to W AP 

Appendix C-3, Laboratory Procedures), 

3. Standard Oper:ating Procedures to assure the uniformity of sampling methods, 

4. Sample testing documentation including a chain-of-custody, and 

S. Training. 

Additionally, a trip blank can be used to detect contamination or cross-oontanlination 

during handling and transportation. It may accompany sample containers to and from the 

field. The blank is to be used for volatile organic analysis ("VOA''), ana is received already 

prepared from the commercial lab. The trip blank remains unopened In the field and 

throughout saniple acquisition. It contains laboratory pure water (distilled, de-ionized, or 

reagent grade water) that is free of onnlanlinants. As previously indicated, RJS uses trip 

blanks when Collecting quarterly and monthly residuals samples from waste generated at 

.RfS .

Since RIS routinely ships samples to outside commercial laboratories; shipment of 

. samples to these lalioi"atories will require protier labeling and shipping papers to remain in 

compliance with USDOT regulations. Packages properly prepared by personnel trained in 

DOT regulation are shipped to their destination via standard overnight carriers or 

comparable couriers. ~reservation of wnples sent to the outside laboratory is pcrfotmed 

before shipment. 

RIS fingerprint lab personnel perform daily QA/QC tests to assure accuracy of the 

test performed and proper functioning of all lab instrumentation. Typically, blank, duplicate, 

or split samples. will not be collected for fingerprint samples. However, QA/QC tests are 

conducted in acco!Oance with standard operating procedures maintained at the on-site 

fingerprint lab. The Fingerprint Lab Supervisor acts as the QA/QC coordinator and is 

responsible for assuring the procedures are maintained. All fingerprint lab analysts are 

rained to conduct all necessary fingerprint lab analyses. The on-site fingerprint lab is 

organized to facilitate the efficient gathering of data neCessary to confirm that the physical 

and chemical properties of the waste received at the facility are consistent with the 

information provided on. the WPS. The fiogerprini laboratory is stocked Wi1h all of the 

eqllipment and supplies necessary to pefform the fingerprint analysis described in this W AP • 

The fingerprint laboratory is equipped with a hood, stainless steel sink; safety shower with 

eyewash and floor mounted cabinets with counter tops. 

Minimally, the fingerprint lab is stockCd with an analytical balance, flash point 

apparatus, selective ion/pH meters, electrodes, mufile furnace, thcnnometers, safety cabinets 

(sample storage), first aid kits, bomb calorimeters, various reagents and solvents, viscometer 

and miscellaneous glassware. Appropriate Quality ConlroVQuality Assurance ("QC/QA") 

. data is gathered according to applicable laboratory operating procedures. The RJS 

fingerprint laboratory . supervisor is responsible for self-audit of the laboratory. The 

laboratory self-audit is a multi-phase process. Specifically, tbe Fingerprint lab 

supervisor/lab manager visually evaluates the technicians' technique at least quarterly. 

Additionally, laboratory personnel take written tests based on current lab procedures. 

Quarterly performance evaluation samples are submitted to the laboratory for analysis . 

. Finally, an annual evaluatio~ of operating proc~ occurs and SOP," are updated as · 

necessary.

Laboratory personnel follow written standard operating prooedures, which were 

established to provide instructions on conducting the fingeqnint analysis. The standard 

operating procedures (SOPs) typically include the purpose, scope and application, reference 

methods, tbc associated SOPs, equipment fl!C~Ulmnenl$, reagents to be used, a detailed 

systematic procedure, quality control procedures, and discrcpaney detamination. The SOPs 

. used by the on-site fingerprint lab can be found in Appendix C-2 of this W AP. Records of , 

sampling and analytical results are maintained in the Operating Record. 

RIS has an environin~ auditing process to· assess the adequacy of vendors, 

including audits of c:ommercial laboratories. This auditing pcocess · evaluates several 

pertinent factors associated with potential vendors including QUality Assu.ranc~ programs 

and Quality Control procedures. These audits follow Sllindard Operating Procedures 

("SOPs") as established by the Fingetprint Lab SupcrvisorJLab Manager and/or QA/QC 

Supervisor, and tbc SOPs for cootraet lab auditing arc maintained at the on-site finecrprint 

lab. Procedures for documenting deviations from the sampling QA/QC procedures are also 

specified in the SOPs. RIS' off-site contract laboratory (ies) adhere to Quality Assurance 

Plans, inC?rporaled herein by reference . 

S.l Standard Operating Procedlns 

SOPs for off-site genetatcd wastes arc specified in Section S.l.l of this 58U1pling 

plan while. SOPs for on-site generated residuals are specified in Section S.l.2 of this 

sampling plan. 

S.l.l Standard Operating Procedures for Waste Received from Off-Site 

As previously indicated, RIS receives a variety of wastes from off~site generators in 

bulle and non-bulk containers. Bulk sample collectio~ methnds for off-site generated wastes 

are specified in Sectioo S.l.l.l of this sampling plan, and non· bulk sample collection

April,2013 

RevisiO.O 

· Samples for fingennint, metals, PCB and other analyses arc ooUoc:tcd from randomly 

identified IBCs , tanker trucks, and bulk solid loada. .Representative samples collected from bulk 

tiquid and solid loads arc colloc:tcd in accordance with lhe procedures ideniiticd herein. Safety 

· <!jUipmeot, IDIIerial manageoiem procedures. and other spCciat inslnictlons for each specific waste 

'are ideotificd oo the.R811dling InSiroctions for each waste. 

Tuku ~pllaa. The primary purpose for taoker sampling Is to jlrovide a represeotative 

sample to the fingerprint lab for analysiS, The sampter slowly IDserts a COUW ASA sampling device 

into the tanker from the top manhole 811d allows the liquid to tili the tube. As lhe COLiw ASA is 

1VitbdraWD from the ianicr, the outside of the tube is wiped down using an absorbent taoker. pad 

1'hc:n, thC sampler will empty the material into the sample jar and seal the jar. .The· sampler will 

place labels (including shipper #, WPS # 8lld Taoker #) on the. sample jar 811d compl~ applicable 

sample testing lnfOJmation. The samples will be 1raD$pOI1Cd to the fingerprint lab and the fingerprint 

·lab will notify the operator wheq analysis Is complete. 

&lk .So&d Salllplln&. The primary pu!p06C of sampling roll-off COI:IIaine.n~ and/or dump 

trailers is to provide a representative sample 10 the linguprint lab for aDatysls. If lhe conlain«

t.Jtbougb the samplermakes an effort to sample from a variety of loc'atioliS (typicall.y using a grid 

•Y'I=) within the container, the primary importance is to obtain a repr=otati"" sample. When 

· iampling homogeMOUS materials, the sampler will fill an eiibt ounce sample container _ftom at least 

one location. HoWC'Iet, the number of locatioos and tbeir relative position will vary based on the 

cootent of the container to be sampled. For instance, if the OODteots in the colllainer are 70'/o dirt. 

20'/o wood, and I 0% plastic, then the sample will be approximately 70% dirt, 20% wood, and I 0% 

plastic. In this wu;nple. the sampler would 'take from three locations, with 70% of the 8-ounc:e jar 

fuD of dirt,· 20% o( the 8-o)IDCC jar full of wood and 10% of the 8-ounce jar full of plastic. After 

ta.klng the sample, the sampler will place labels (inoludi.ng shipper#, WPS #and CIN) oa. the sample 

jar and complete applicable sample testing information. The sample wili be llaDSpOrted to the 

fulgerprint Jab. 

S .1.1.2 Non- Bulk Sample Collection Methods 

The primary purpose of sampling containers is to provide a representative sample .of the 

1Vaste ~to the fingerprint lab for analysis. If sampling drums, pallelizled-materials, gaylord&

sample jar. · If the material is hard, the sampler will chip enough of the material to fill the 

sample jar. (f the conl4iner houses a variety of materials a good representation must be 

obtained, as desctibed in ~tion 5.1.1.1. If the material is a liquid or semi-solid, the 

sampler will use a sampling tube to draw the sample, by slowly lowering the tube into the 

container. Once the tube is fuJI, the sampler will use their thumb to seal the tube. The tube 

is then removed and the sample jar is filled. Other tools used for sampling are listed on 

Table 2 ·Sampling Equipment for Particular Waste Types. If the drom is filled with small 

bl11 full containers (e.g., vials, 2 oz. plastic jars) one. example of each container type wiU be 

placed in the sample jar. In this instance, a sample bag or pail may also be used to collect 

the representative sample. The sampler will place labels (CIN) on the sample· jar (s) and 

complete applicable sample testing information. 

5.1.2 Standard Operating Procedures for Waste Guterated On-Site 

One of the most common methods of selecting a random sample is to divide the. 

population bY an imaginary grid. RIS observes the grid method of sampling. When a solid 

residual sample is required.. the sampler visually grids the container hoUsing the.residoal. 

The sampler selects the grids from wbich samples are to be obtained based on the 

appearance and texture of the residual. RIS uses a combined random .and judgmental sample 

coilection system wben obtaining solid residual samples. Whenever differences in color, 

appeimmce, or texture are present, !he sampler will obtain samples from these areas. 

Typically a container will be divided into several ( 6 to 12) sections and the sampler will pull 

samples randomly from a minimwn of three grid sections on each side of the container. The 

sample aliquot is obtained by inserting a sample scoop into the residual l!latetial. ·At least 

one sample from each side of the container witt be obtained from a depth of 3 to 18 inches. 

The actual sample will be collected by inserting a ·sample scoop into the residual material at 

the center of several grids. The individual grab samples are placed into a stainless steel 

container and mixed, or oomposited into a single well-mixed sample from which the aliquot 

to be analyzed will be obtained. Aliquots will be selected from the composited sample 

located in the stainless steel conl!lioer and will be used to fill the approptiate sample 

containers for analysis. Samples of ash and filter cake collected using this collection method 

will represent the entire sample population .

5.2.1 Sample T~g Procedures for Waste Received from Off-site 

April, 2013 

RevisiooO 

After tho sample material from a shipment bas been collecced, the ReceiVing agent 

obtains the sample 8nd completes sample testing information specific to tliat WPS. Sample 

testing information is completed for each WPS and identifies lhe =~omer, shipper number 

and date, WPS number and CINs that were sampled. and the Receiving employee wbo 

sampled lhe material. After the sample and its assOciated sample testing information arrive 

at the fingerprint laboratory, the laboratory chemist performing the analysis accepts. the 

receipt of the sample and then perfonns the analysis. The chemist records the results of each 

analysis on tho LabOratory Logbook. If the results are wilhin acceptable parameters, th7 

shipment is accepted. A 'description of typical sample teSting.information and a Laboratory 

Logbook are included as Exhibits 0 and Exhibit H respectively to this WAP. 

Sample testing information acts as chain.of-ctl.stody for the sample. It provides 

documentation that sampling was completed and aids RIS in docun!enting sauiple 

acceptance and rejection.. Both the Laboratory Logbook and sample testing information are 

maintained fur each sample and are recorded in the Operating Record along With .the 

computerized sample records. 

5.2.2 Sample Testing Procedures fur ()n.site Residuals 

An essential part of ensuring the integrity of a sample from collection to data 

reporting is by documentation. Documen~ion of the history of the sample is referred to as 

"chain-of-custody .. " Chain.of..custody procedures are useful for routine testing of sample 

fiow and facilitate tracing the. possession and han4ling of samples from the time of collection 

through analysis and final disposal The components of RIS' residual chain-of-custody 

process include the sample label, the sample collection record. (SCR) and the Chain-of· 

Custody furm. A sample is considered to be uDder a person's custody if it is: 

I . In the designated personnel's possession, 

2. In view of the designated personnel, 

3. Secured by that person so Jioone can tamper With it, or 

4. Secured by that.person in an area restricted to authorized personnel.

Completion of a sample collection record· and a chain-of-custody form is required for all 

residual'samples. A description of the sample collection reCord 811d the chain-of-cusiody 

fonn is found in Attachment B - Description of RIS Residual Sample Testing Documents. 

All infonnation !Dust be filled out on the sample collection record by the person in control ofthe sample. The infonnation to be completed on the chain-of-custody f<?rm includes: _the 

sample location 811d description, date and time sample was collected, and the sample type 

(grab, composite, matrix). A label must be completed and placed on each sample container. 

It may also list the sample collector, date and time of collection and place of collection. 

Once obtained, the sample is returned to the finge!print laboratory along with the chain-ofcustody fomt The person preparit!g the sample will inspect the container for leaks and the 

label for comp!eteaess, then J'eC9rd the sample identification number on the sample 

collection record foim and the sample container label. Discrepancies between the chain-ofcustody form and the sample label will be resolved immediately. The Sample Collection 

Record and Chain-of~ody form serve as the field notebook, (i.e.; a record of the samples 

taken from ibe field). When the sample collector relinquishes the sample, he (she) signs off 

at the bottom of the ~-of-custody form. 'I.'he samples are typically .sent out to the 

commercial laboratory within 24 hours. A copy of the chain-of-custody form is sent to the 

sample destination and will be attached to the samples when shipped to the commercial 

laboratory. FolloWing receipt of the samples at the commercial laboratory, the lab personnel 

will handle the chain-Of-custQdy fonn as directed by their organization. A copy of the final 

chain-of-custody form will be sent to RlS with the analyticat'results.

RlS residual sample testing paperwork documents the collection, management and 

requested analysis of samples. The sample testing documentation consists of ~0 fonns: the 

sample collection record and the chaiirof-custody furm. Together the fonns identify and 

track the collection, preservation and shipment of RIS residual samples. 

The sample collection record is an internal RJS document designed to identify the 

residual samples taken. The sample collection record details the field conditions at the time 

of sampling and is retained in production support files. At a mJnioium; the following
