• I. BACKGROUND The Washington State Legislature designated the Department of Ecology (Ecology) as the state agency for implementing the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Since early 1978, Ecology has been designating, tracking, and regulating the disposal of extremely hazardous wastes through the Hazardous Waste Regulation, Chapter 173-302 WAC. Recent promulgation of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hazardous waste regulations has resulted in a need to modify existing state regulations to be "consistent and equivalent." The state Legislature recognized this need in 1980 by giving Ecology increased authority in the area of permitting dangerous waste facilities. Additionally, in 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1987 the Legislature increased Ecology's authority to develop and implement a program consistent with RCRA. Prior to 1981, Ecology identified dangerous wastes according to the degree of hazard posed by a waste to the public health and the environment. The waste classification system implemented by Ecology designated wastes by their level of toxicity, their persistence in nature, their potential carcinogenic risk, and their tendency to ignite, corrode, and explode. This classification system depended, to a large degree, on established testing procedures, and on current scientific data**regardi~g** the toxicity, persistence, and**carci~ogenicity** of thousands of chemicals which could be found in a given waste. Ecology felt that a "degree of risk" approach to designating wastes was the best method to use considering the enormity of the dangerous waste universe. Tracking dangerous wastes as they moved from the generator to the**~isposal** site was based on the use of a manifest system. This manifest, prepared by the generator, states the type, amount, origin, transporter, and final delivery point for a dangerous waste shipment. The manifest is signed by the operator of the disposal site and returned to the generator to signify acceptance of the waste shipment. If the generator does not receive a signed manifest copy from the disposal site within a specified time, he reports this to Ecology. Ecology then initiates a search for the missing waste. Rules for the operation and maintenance of the extremely hazardous waste (EHW) management facility at Hanford (the only facility in Washington which may dispose of EHW) were adopted late in 1977 under Chapter 173-302 WAC. Standards for the design and operation of other dangerous waste treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities were developed to meet the substantial equivalence requirements under RCRA at that time. The current set of dangerous waste regulations, Chapter 173-303 WAC, have been amended to meet the equivalent and consistent requirements of RCRA for final authorization.

# • II. SCOPE, COVERAGE, STRUCTURE, AND PROCESSES A. Scope This document represents the core of the state of Washington"s application for final authorization of the "Dangerous Waste Management Program" to be operated by Ecology. The regulatory program developed for dangerous waste management is comprehensive and is equivalent and consistent with the federal RCRA program, it is intended to operate in lieu of. All persons who generate. transport, transfer, cycle. treat. store, or dispose of dangerous wastes. defined in the recently amended June 

### 1987 Dangerous Waste Regulation. Chapter 

### 173-303. Washington Administrative Code, are affected. The primary purpose of the regulation is to protect the public health and environment from improper management of dangerous waste. The state program. administered by Ecology. has regulatory authority over all areas of dangerous waste management. including notification. inspection, monitoring, permitting. compliance monitoring. manifest tracking. and enforcement. 

# • B. Coverage Ecology recently amended its regulations to be consistent and equivalent to RCRA.**~1any** of the concepts developed for the rules adopted in 

### 1977 are essentially the same. such as the dangerous and extremely hazardous waste (DW/EHW) two-tier designation system. Additional methods have grown out of the work done by EPA. such as a listing approach for dangerous wastes and the standards for dangerous waste management TSD facilities. The following descriptions provide a basic knowledge of the amended Washington State Dangerous Waste Regulations. Chapter 

### 173-303 WAC.



# • 1. Waste Designation. The EPA procedures for designating wastes depend primarily on two lists: the Discarded Chemical Products List and the Dangerous Waste Sources List. Both of these lists were developed by EPA and adopted 

### by Ecology (see WAC 

### 173-303-9903 and 

### 9904). The criteria for listing was based on the toxicity. persistence. carcinogenicity, ignitability. corrosivity, and reactivity of waste. For the Discarded Chemical Products list, EPA considered many common commercial and offspecification manufacturing chemicals and listed those which met the criteria. For the Sources List. EPA studied data on various industrial processes and their typical waste streams. then listed those sources of waste which met the criteria. Ecology augments these lists with its own criteria. developed for the 

### 1977 regulations. Ecology's criteria have been applied in three ways. First, Ecology assigns a DW/EHW designation to each waste which appears on the lists. Second, the criteria applies to unlisted wastes

II - 2

•

• about which the generator knows the constituents of the waste and the constituent concentrations; if this knowledge shows that the waste meets the criteria, then it would be designated as dangerous or extremely hazardous waste. Third, the criteria will be used by generators of unlisted wastes who have been ordered by Ecology, or**~ho** choose voluntarily, to test their wastes against the criteria and designate their waste accordingly.
If a generatur bas a listed waste, he may also apply the state's c ri te r i.l to his waste to see if it is so designated. ! t' the generator determines that the criteria du nct designate his listed waste, he must obtain**Eco10~"~ 3~reement**  that his waste is unregulated. Before makira i decision, Ecology will review the**generator'~ ,~~**  criteria test data, and additional factors,**i~,':'tical** to 40 eFR 261. LlIa ) (3) (evg, , nature of toxi ci t v , p,'tential to degrade), as they might apply to the waste. ;:. after reviewing these factors, Ecology agrees that**:~',l'** ·.·,1ste should be undesignated, then the waste will**~0r h~**  subject to regulation. If Ecology disagrees, tlie» tr.e ..·aste will remain listed and subject to the a pp l . . 

### k: e regulations. Unless and until Ecology notifies tre**~e** ..**er~t0r,** such waste will be subject to the regulations, .:-.. .cdi tion, Ecology requires that any listed**~ast~, e~en**  though it may be alternatively designated**~~ .k~** **~tate's** criteria, is still subject to all rec;u:r.:·-:,l'-:" .rppLicabLe to listed wastes. In addit i or t· ::,,: ing and criteria as a way of**design~t::. ~l~t~~.**  a third mechanism is provided. This is the d:l't't·r•. - v.r ste characteristics mechanism. Wastes with till' :,," (

• eFR 261.11(a)(3». Wastes which are not listed and do not exhibit any characteristics, but are designated by the state's criteria only may be exempted if Ecology determines that they do not otherwise pose a threat to public health or the environment. An entire class of wastes may be excluded from regulation if all wastes in that class: 1) Are not listed; 2) do no exhibit any characteristics; and, 3) are not designated by the state's criteria, or 4) if designated, do not otherwise threaten public health or the environment. The designation approach described above assures that all federal wastes are properly designated and subject to the applicable requirements. The state's approach is more stringent than the federal approach in that more considerations are taken into account for waste designation (i.e., the state's criteria, and lower quantity exclusion limits). Ecology has also provided mechanisms to assure that any waste regulated at the federal level will be subject to the same, or more stringent consideration before it can be exempted from regulation. The state's approach to designation incorporates and complements all the elements of the federal approach, thus assuring equivalency with (or, in many cases, exceeding) the requirements of EPA

. Ecology includes procedures in Chapter 173-303 WAC for identifying solid wastes

.. These procedures are essentially identical to EPA regulations, with some exceptions for materials that would not be federal solid wastes (i.e., state standards are more stringent in some ways). Ecology's requirements assure than any materials EPA considers to be solid wastes will te controlled as solid wastes by the state. Ecology has continued to amend its lists of hazardous wastes to include new federal listings. Listings include wastes from the production of dinitrotoluene and toluenediamine (K111, Kl12, K113, K114, and KIIS), wastes from the production of toluene diisocyanate (KI16), and discarded chemical products of o-Toluidine (U328) and p-Toluidine (G3S3). The listings include related additions to the Dangerous Waste Constituents List. EPA's recent rules on mixtures of solvent wastes (the ten percent rule) has already been addressed in state regulations, which are more stringent and do not set a threshold on concentration. Any amount of any of the listed solvents (FOOl through FOOS) in the listed waste source designates the waste as hazardous under Ecology's regulations

. Ecology has existing provisions in state law allowing it to regulate mixed wastes containing hazardous components

• 2. subject to the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act and radioactive components subject to the Atomic Energy Act (AEA). RCW 70.105.145 states that "Notwithstanding any other provision of Chapter 70.105 RCW, Ecology is empowered to participate fully in and is empowered to administer all aspects of the programs of the federal RCRA•.•" Ecology's authority is thus equivalent to EPA's, which generally regulates hazardous radioactive wastes that do not otherwise meet the exemption for "source, special nuclear or byproduct material as defined by the AEA." Generators. Persons generating dangerous waste will need to prepare a manifest before sending the waste to a TSD facility. The manifest includes information on the generator, transporter, TSD facility, the type of waste,**an~** its quantity or volume. The manifest must be signed by the generator and the transporter before the waste leaves the generator's property. The manifest travels with the transporter to the TSD facility, where the facility owner/operator signs the manifest and returns a copy to the generator. If the generator does not receive a copy of the manifest, signed by the facility owner/operator within 45 days or shipment, he must submit an Exception Report to Ecology. When Ecology receives an Exception Report for wastes designated on the manifest for out-of-state shipment, then Ecology will notify either EPA or the authorized state agency with jurisdiction in the state designated for receiving the waste. Ecology will, then, initiate a search for the waste to determine its fate. Ecology is requiring that after September 20, 1984 all dangerous waste shipments shall utilize the Uniform National Manifest. Generators will report**annual~y** to Ecology the quantities and types of dangerous waste which were generated in the past year, as well as any treatment, storage, recycling, or disposal practices incorporated. The manifest and annual reporting system will provide Ecology with a means to track the generation, movement, and ultimate disposition of dangerous wastes in Washington. This system will reduce the amount of uncontrolled dumping and illegal disposal of dangerous waste which historically has posed a national public health and environmental hazard. Generators involved with international shipments are subject to state requirements that are identical to the pre-HSWA federal standards, except that copies of exception reports sent to EPA must also be sent to Ecology. Ecology's regulations allow certain farmer's who manage their pesticide wastes on their own land to be exempt



### II - 5

# •

•

• 3. from the generator requirements. To qualify for this exemption. the farmer must either reuse his.pesticide residues and rinse waters (e.g., in his next batch of pesticide) or else manage these wastes according to the pesticide label instructions. The label instructions vary for each pesticide, but almost always call for the farmer to spray the pesticide residues in a manner which constitutes a useful purpose. For example, the farmer may be instructed to spray certain herbicides or pesticides along fence rows to control weed or insect growth. or he may be instructed to apply his wastes to certain fallow lands, which are specifically targeted by the State Department of Agriculture. for controlling weeds and pests while the land is fallow. In some rare cases. a label may call for disposal or burial. If such disposal or burial is done on the farmer's own land, then Ecology will not regulate him as a generator. Disposal of pesticide wastes elsewhere is subject to Ecology's generator and other requirements. Transporters. The regulation requires transporters to comply with C.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) rules under 49 eFR for hazardous materials and substances transportation. Transporters are, also, responsible for notifying authorities and assisting in cleanup operations in the event of a spill or discharge of dangerous wastes during transport. Ecology is requiring that after September 20, 1984, all dangerous waste shipments shall utilize the Uniform National Manifest (UNF). This will assure that interstate shipments are in accordance with DOT requirements. Until the UNF goes into effect, Ecology does not expect (and so far has not encountered) any problems with the interstate transport of wastes. The requirements for transporters who import wastes from outside the United States are identical to federal requirements. Such transporter must act as the generator of waste and comply with all applicable generator requirements (e.g., manifesting, packaging). Transporters who export wastes must comply with state requirements that are identical to federal standards: 1) Indicate on the manifest the date the waste left the U.S.; 2) sign and date the manifest; and 3) retain the manifest for three years. New EPA standards for recycling hazardous wastes are included in Ecology's regulations. including recycling constituting disposal. precious metals recovery. battery recycling, burning for energy recovery. and numerous regulatory exemptions for certain recycling practices. Ecology's recycling standards are virtually identical to EPA's, with the exception of recycling provisions for state-only dangerous wastes. Less stringent standards

# * are applied to state-only wastes when they are stored for short time periods prior to recycling. Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) Facilities. Ecology has essentially adopted EPA standards for the siting, design, performance, operation, and maintenance of TSD facilities. In general, these standards ensure that a facility is properly performing whatever dangerous waste storage, treatment, or disposal activities are occurring at the facility. TSD facilities must have adequate security, personnel training, inspection schedules, emergency plans and equipment, records of operation, environmental monitoring, insurance, closure and post-closure plans, and reporting before Ecology will grant a permit (or interim status) to a facility. Finally, TSD facilities must be sited and operated to comply with floodplain, fault line, wetland, shoreline, explosion and fire buffer zones, and monitoring zone requirements. Any facility managing regulated reactive wastes will, under state regulations, be handling at least four hundred pounds. UFC Table 77-201, 1979 Edition, requires minimum distances for 400-500 pounds of: 1) 320 feet from inhabited buildings; and 2) 130 feet from railways and highways. Larger quantities of reactive wastes will require correspondingly larger setback distances. Facilities are, also, required to satisfy all applicable local, state, and federal laws (such as local comprehensive plans, air and water pollution laws, endangered species, etc.). Ecology is adopting most of these regulations directly from the EPA regulations. Others are modified to reflect the differences between dangerous and extremely hazardous waste management practices. The state rules achieve EPA's requirements for equivalency. Interim status standards for TSD facilities are cited in WAC 173-303-400, and are an adoption by reference of EPA's 40 CFR Part 265 Subparts F through R. EPA has recently amended these standards, and Ecology has assured that the state's reference is current by updating WAC 173-303-045. This section provides that any EPA regulations that are adopted by reference in Chapter 173-303 WAC will reflect federal rules, except those adopted pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, in place on July 11, 1986. Thus, recent EPA changes to the interim status TSD facility requirements have been included in Chapter 173-303 WAC

.

# • * Additionally, by updating,WAC 

### 173-303-045, as above, the corporate guarantee for liability insurance has been included in Chapter 

### 173-303 WAC.
In addition, Ecology has adopted stringent operating standards for the extremely hazardous waste disposal site at Hanford. The current status of Hanford is that the land has been purchased from the federal government and is waiting for funds to be allocated from the state Legislature for its development.

Second, if the information request involves significant costs from manipulating existing information into new forms (e.g., preparing brand new reports, conducting studies, correlating computer-based data), then a fee may be charged. The fees assessable under these two exceptions can be waived or reduced if Ecology determines that furnishing the information would be of primary benefit to the public at large. Ecology can deny requests for information (see Attorney General's Statement). Denials will include statements of applicable appeal procedures and statutes of limitations. If a disclosure request is denied because a claim of business confidentiality could not be resolved within the twenty day response period specified in WAC 173-303-901, then the response provided to the person requesting such information will specify that failure to resolve the business confidentiality claim is the cause of denial. Revision of State Program. If Ecology revises its program, it will contact EPA to determine what modifications are necessary in the memorandum of agreement, Attorney General's statement, or other documents. Ecology will modify the documents, as appropriate, and submit them to EPA for approval. At this time, Ecology does not foresee any significant program revisions, and does not expect to transfer any of its authorized functions to any other state agencies. If Ecology finds that it is necessary to amend state laws or regulations due to EPA's promulgation of new regulations, then the state will proceed as follows:

a. Statutory changes. Ecology will work with the state Legislature and appropriate committees to develop the necessary statutory language. The Washington State Legislature meets every year, so changes to state law should be accomplished within one year. If the statutory changes are controversial, two years may, in some rare cases, be necessary. Ecology believes that amendments to state laws can be provided in two years or less in all cases.



# • b. Regulatory changes. Amendments to state regulations will be made in accordance with Chapter 34.04 RCW, Administrative Procedures Act, and will be accomplished in one year or less. Ecology will prepare proposed regulatory language and confirm with EPA that it will properly address the changes at the federal level; this should require no more than two months. Ecology will then file the proposed language with the State Code Reviser for publication in the State Register; this will require about two

II - 9

# --
. 

# •

• 8. weeks. The first public hearings will be held twenty days after the proposed amendments are published. The public comment period may range from thirty days to three months (but only this long if significant changes are made and reproposal is necessary). Ecology will then prepare final amendatory language (less than one month) and file the final changes with the Code Reviser. The new regulation is effective thirty days after adoption. Thus. simple amendments will take as few as three months from beginning to the actual effective date. More complicated changes may take as long as nine months until the new rules go into effect. Summary. As a summation. the amended Dangerous Waste Regulation Chapter 173-303 WAC: (1) Designates those solid wastes which are dangerous or extremely hazardous to public health and the environment; (2) Provides for surveillance and monitoring of dangerous wastes until they are detoxified. reclaimed. neutralized, or disposed of safely; (3) Provides a manifest system for tracking, reporting, monitoring, recordkeeping, sampling, and labeling of dangerous wastes; (4) Establishes requirements for the siting, design, operation, and monitoring of dangerous waste management facilities; (5) Establishes design. operation. and monitoring requirements for managing the state's extremely hazardous waste disposal facility; (6) Establishes and**administ~rs**

### Agency Structure and Organizational Responsibility Ecology is the state agency mandated by the Legislature to administer the federally approved RCRA program. As shown in Figure 1. Ecology is essentially organized along functional lines with the Office of Operations and Enforcement set up to act as the operating arm of the agency. Each program functions under an appointed Program Manager who reports to the Deputy Directors and the Director of the Department. There are also several exceptional program responsibilities which for management reasons report directly to the Director. For purposes of the Dangerous/Hazardous Waste Program within Ecology

II - 10

# •

• there are two organizational groups which have program responsibilities. These are the Solid and Hazardous Waste Program and the Office of Operations and Enforcement. The Solid and Hazardous Waste Program has authority and primary responsibility for program planning, development, and management of the state dangerous/hazardous waste programs (Figure 2). This group is responsible for establishing all program guidance and policy as well as regulations. This group also provides technical assistance to inspectors and permit writers in the Regional Offices, Central Permits Section, and Industrial Section. As well as coordinating compliance monitoring activities and ensuring statewide consistency in the application of the regulations. Most public involvement aspects of the program are carried out in this office. Any necessary tracking and reporting functions, including the annual report, are also the responsibility of this group. The Office of Operations and Enforcement has the authority and responsibility for all operational aspects of the Dangerous/Hazardous Waste Program (Figure 

### 3). The office includes four geographical regions of the state with an officer and staff located in each region. The regions cover Southwest Washington, Northwest Washington, Central Washington, and Eastern Washington. Each regional office has a designated hazardous waste group. This group is responsible for carrying out compliance inspections, overseeing closure activities and writing storage permits. They are the primary agency contact with all generators, transporters, and some TSD facilities. They also implement the agency enforcement policy by documenting and making recommendations for enforcement actions to their Regional Manager who has signatory authority for all enforcement actions within their jurisdiction. This group maintains a close working relationship with the Solid and Hazardous Waste Program. They use the guidance and policy provided by this program and are responsible for completing the work plan commitments negotiated by the Solid and Hazardous Waste Program. The Office of Operations and Enforcement also includes the Central Operations Program. The following three groups in Central Operations have dangerous/hazardous waste responsibilities: Industrial Section has major industries as their area of responsibility (e.g., pulp and paper, oil refining, and primary metals). This group acts essentially like a fifth region. The group performs compliance inspections and writes permits for most of their facilities.

II - 11

# •

• Hanford Section is responsible for all dangerous/hazardous waste and hazardous waste cleanup program activities at the Hanford Reservation. Central Permits is a new group that was organized to concentrate permitting expertise into one section. They are responsible for or will be assisting on permits for many of the more complex TSD facilities in the state. The Central Permits group will be coordinating permit activities, performing compliance inspections, as well as writing permits at selected TSD facilities•

### Sources of Funding and Restrictions In 1983 the State Legislature passed a bill establishing a fee for generators and TSD facilities. Ecology developed an administrative rule, Chapter 173-303 WAC, to implement that bill. SUbsequently, the Legislature repealed this "fee bill" and with it Chapter 173-305 WAC. Fees were collected through 1986. Estimated funding levels for Dangerous Waste Program activities, from state and federal sources, are presented in Table 1. These FY 1988 figures are estimates based on past allocations.

Table 1

### BUDGET ESTIMATE FOR THE DANGEROUS WASTE PROGRAM (1)

(1) Note: These figures do not include the Underground Storage Tank Program. 

# • Fiscal Year 1988 Amount Percent Federal Portion $407,769 11% State Portion $3,417,931 89% Grand Total $3,825,700 100%



### Major funding sources for the Dangerous Waste Program include:



## * federal grants; 

## * the state general fund; and 

## * the state toxics control account. The state toxics control account is generated by a tax on hazardous substances in Washington. The Legislature passed this law (70.105b RCW) in November 1987.

# •• The new positions planned for 1989 are shown in Table 5a. RCRIS (Resource Conservation and Recovery Information System) is a comprehensive hazardous/dangerous waste data management system that will be used by EPA and participating states. Using the projected increase in funds from the Toxics Control Act, we expect to hire over 50 new FTEs in the next three years. As shown in Table 5b, the bulk of these new resources will be committed to inspections, writing permits, and enforcement/compliance duties.

-- PROGRAM PLAN Ecology's Fiscal Year 1988 Program Plan is shown in Table 7. Program activities have been defined that reflect the mandated duties of Ecology staff (RCRA priorities plus state priorities). Each activity has a desired output. The FTE level assigned to the acivities determine the effort that can be made to achieve the desired outputs. In general, the more FTEs assigned to an activity, the higher the priority

# '. III. PERMITTING PROCEDURES
A. Purpose The purpose of permitting treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities (on-site and off-site) is to ensure that all facilities are built and operated in accordance with the Dangerous Waste Regulations to protect the public health and environment.



# • In the first severa: years, Ecology will be concentrating on permitting those**f~(': ~ties**  that are considered high priority by both EPA and**~cci0g~.** Permitting priorities will be determined usLng tI:,. ;'r oc e du r e s described in the compliance monitoring seetio!: cf this document considering national permitting priorit irs . In general, permits will fall into two major categories.**exi"ti~g** TSD facilities, and new TSD facilities. COtrr: e t : ,In of permit actions in progress and disposition of F:'

• interim status under Section 3005 if EPA amends their rules in the future. Those facilities wishing to receive or ordered by Ecology to receive a final status permit must submit a completed Part B application as defined in WAC 173-303-806 to Ecology within six months of its request. Late or incomplete Part B applications will be processed in accordance with the state's enforcement policy. This is equivalent to 40 CFR Part 270 subpart B. C. New TSD Facilities New facilities must submit both Parts A and B of the permit application to Ecology six months before physical construction can begin. This is covered in WAC 173-303-805 and 806. D. Permit Development Review and Approval Process for Existing and New TSD Facilities Ecology, through its permitting process, will ensure that all requirements and conditions described in WAC 173-303-800 through 845 are followed. During the permitting process Ecology will:

1. Provide assistance to applicants

. 2. Receive and review applications, including financial assurance review. 3. Conduct site evaluations. 4. Assure analysis of air, water, and/or soil samples as necessary. 

### 5. 6.

# ••• Call for Part B per.mit applications. Review and make completeness determinations on Part B permit applications. Review and approve closure/post-closure plans. Review and approve financial assurance documents. Issue draft permits and fact sheets (if necessary) or statement of basis of permit determination. Coordinate with EPA during the review process. Open comment period, issue public notice, hold public hearings when necessary, and establish administrative record.

E. 12. Take necessary enforcement actions to ensure application completeness, closure/post-closure and financial requirements are met prior to permit issuance and in accordance with state enforcement policies. 13. Ensure compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act (see attachment). 

### 14. Issue final permit actions. 15. Process changes to permits, including:

a. Transfers b. Modifications c. Revocations d. Reissuance e. Terminations 16. Ensure proper judicial review of permits in cases of applicant appeals. In reviewing applications and writing permits Ecology will ensure that all appropriate information and conditions are provided. This will be done by appropriate engineering and hydrogeologic judgments and technical expertise, as well as using checklists and guidance provided 

### by EPA or equivalent plus any additional checklists necessary to include additional state requirements. The attached flow charts (see Figures 

### 4 and 5) describe the order of events, lines of responsibility, and intra and interagency relationships that will occur in the permit process. Internal operating procedures and policies will be developed to ensure adequate review and compliance with state and federal regulations. Permits by Rule (PBR) (See WAC 173-303-802) Ecology allows PBR for: 1. Ocean disposal barges or vessels. The PBR requirements of the state are identical to federal standards. 

### 2. Underground injection wells. The PBR requirements prohibit underground injection of extremely hazardous waste. They require compliance with 

### 40 CFR 144.14 and all applicable state waste discharge permits and conditions. 

### 3. Publicly owned treatment works (POTW). POTW are subject to state PBR requirements that are identical to federal standards, except that POTW may not accept extremely hazardous waste for disposal. 

# • 4. Totally enclosed treatment facilities and elementary neutralization and wastewater treatment units. These facilities and units are exempted under federal

H. requirements. The state, instead, requires a PBR, which includes conditions for complying with: security; contingency plan and emergency procedures; the manifest system (when applicable); records; reporting; and general performance standards. If the facilities or units pose a threat or fail to comply with the PBR conditions, Ecology may require compliance with all the facility standards and require a full permit. Emergency Permits Ecology may issue an emergency permit to allow for treating, storing, or disposing wastes at facilities which either are not permitted (including interim status), or, if permitted, are not authorized at the time to manage the particular waste. Emergency permits will only be issued if doing so will alleviate imminent and substantial threats to public health and the environment. The requirements for state issued emergency permits are identical to the. federal requirements. Judicial Review of Permits WAC 173-303-845 states that any person who is adversely affected by a decision of Ecology under WAC 173-303 may appeal the decision to the Pollution Control Hearings Board pursuant to Chapter 43.21B RCW. The Pollution Control Hearings Board Act, WAC 371-08-255, states that in the event that the board determines a permit issued by Ecology under Chapter 173-303 WAC is invalid in any respect, the board shall issue an order remanding the permit to Ecology for reconsideration and appropriate action consistent with the provisions of said order and federal and state law. Any further appeals shall be appealed to the superior court of the state of Washington and shall follow procedures per Chapters 43.21B and 34.04 RCW. Permit Certification Language Due to changes under Chapter 70.105.215 RCW, Ecology included additional permit certification language for situations where the owner and operator of a TSD facility are separate entities (see WAC 173-303-810(13))

• IV. COMPLIANCE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT 

### A. Objective: The objective of the compliance monitoring program is to ensure the protection of public health and the environment through active enforcement of the state approved Dangerous Waste Regulations. 

### B. Facility Definition and Establishing Priorities: The compliance monitoring strategy is based upon performing the greatest number of facility inspections with available resources. Number of inspections completed each year will be dependent upon Ecology's resources. Industries will be classified into two categories; major or nonmajor. In general, those facilities which are the largest, and pose the greatest potential for pollution will be classified as major. The criteria for developing a numerical ranking of facilities is presented in Table 

### 8. Major facilities will have a high numerical ranking. Minor facilities will, of course, have a lower numerical assignment. The basic purpose of using criteria is to develop consistent permitting and compliance monitoring priorities. The criteria were derived from an 

### EPA model for ranking Superfund candidates. The criteria consider five factors in establishing human and environmental risks: 1. Major Hazard of Haterials

- gives information on the types of waste being treated, stored, or disposed of at the facility. 

### 2. Volume of Materials

- gives data on the size of potential environmental problem. 

### 3. Routes for Pollution

- provides information on how the waste rna\' enter the environment. 

### 4. Location of Facility

- indicates the size of population near the facility and proximity to it. 

### 5. Observed Releases or Violations

- gives data on history of the facility's operations. The decision line or break-point for what is a major or nonmajor facility is variable and may change depending on national guidance for defining major/nonmajor priorities. This line will be negotiated during the annual program plan. Once the major and nonmajor facilities have been identified in the annual program plan, then the number of annual compliance inspections to be completed by the state under final authorization will be negotiated based on the list of major and

In addition to the requirements in the EPA national inspection scheme, each of the state's four Regional Offices and Industrial Section will identify those facilities/handlers in their area that represent a high priority need based on environmental risk. These priorities will be taken into account in developing the final inspection commitment in the annual program plan. Through this process, EPA concerns and state needs and staffing levels can be addressed. Overall development and review of priorities will be done by Ecology headquarters dangerous/hazardous waste group to ensure statewide priorities are begin maintained. In addition to those planned facility inspections, response to citizen or local government complaints of hazardous waste spills and abandoned/inactive hazardous waste sites may require further field investigation and the dedication of resources. This may result in a lower than anticipated number of planned facility inspections. Again, the final number of industries to be inspected will be dependent upon adequacy of resources and the management of those resources. Inspection Procedures: Dangerous waste handler/facility inspections are conducted and documented by the hazardous waste inspectors in each of the four Ecology Regional Offices, Industrial Section, Hanford Section, and Central Permits Section. These inspectors are assigned to the dangerous/hazardous waste program to allow them to develop expertise in this area and become the primary agency contact with the pertinent facilities and handlers. In may instances, the inspectors also have the responsibility for writing any final status permits that may be called and/or issued by the state. Alternatively, permits are written by the Central Permits Section staff. The inspectors are trained to be knowledgeable on regulatory requirements and interpretation, as well as inspection procedures and protocol. Because inspections and documentation of these activities are critical to a successful enforcement program, it is the intent of the state to develop specific guidance for field use for hazardous waste inspections. There is also review of inspection reports and compliance monitoring performed by the dangerous/hazardous waste headquarters staff at Ecology to help assure statewide consistency in documentation and enforcement. Ecology conducts both announced and unannounced inspections depending on the given situation. In addition to our own knowledge of what is happening in each region, we also use the eyes and ears of local citizens or groups, such as the local health department and citizen complaints to alert us of any

# •• possible environmental or public health. Inspections may fall into one of several categories depending on the concern. Inspectors may do a compliance inspection on general facility operations, record review, sampling inspection, or a follow-up inspection on a particular compliance issue including proper closure and/or post-closure care. Field inspectors are given basic training, and when possible, follow-up training for facility inspection, record review, and safety. In general, inspections are conducted according to the following protocol: 1. Conduct a prior research of the files of that facility. If there is any unusual or important information, they will incorporate that into their inspection. 2. Conduct personal interviews, if necessary. 3. Talk with owners/supervisors of the facility. 4. Conduct a tour of the plant site, taking photos, drawing maps, and any other field notes that might be pertinent. 5. If applicable, review manifest and recordkeeping to ensure regulatory compliance

. 

# • 6 

### Ask questions about complying with the regulations such as: Are the standards being complied with? Do you have a closure plan, a facility plan, contingency plan, postclosure plan, if applicable, correct financial assurance, etc. In cases where these records have not been reviewed by Ecology or are nonexistent or inaccurate, the inspector will require a submittal be given to Ecology for review and also to ensure Ecology's files contain an up-to-date copy of the appropriate records. 7. Collect samples if necessary. An inspection form will be used by our field inspectors and is included with this application. D. Enforcement Authority and Procedures: Ecology has the enforcement authority for the Dangerous/Hazardous Waste Program as given in Chapter 70.105 RCW specifically cited in RCW 70.105.080, -090, -097. What follows is a description of general definitions and procedures as presented in Ecology's Enforcement Policy Manual. 

# • 1. 

### General Descriptions Warning Letter

- This letter is issued as soon as you know the circumstances of a violation or environmental abuse. The letter does five things:

II - 61a. Establishes an official record of the situation.



# •

• b. Lets the violator know there is a problem and that the problem needs to be corrected in a prescribed manner.

c. Requires the violator to let Ecology know what corrective action will be taken. d. Informs the violator that failure to correct the problem voluntarily may result in more stringent action.

e. Establishes a basis for more stringent action if it is required. Warning letters may be approved and signed by the dangerous waste supervisor in the Regional Office and Industrial Section. Notice of Violation

- This is the next, more serious action taken after a warning letter. This notice defines the problem and specifically describes what actions are required to correct the problem. A notice is a quasi-legal document and must be signed and approved by an assistant director. Anotice of violation requires a response from the violator. Administrative Order

- This is a quasi-legal document. It must be signed by an assistant director or higher authority. It will be issued 

### 30 or more days after a Notice of Violation except in an air quality enforcement action, or a dangerous waste enforcement action. No Action Order

- After a Notice of Violation is issued, an order must follow. A No Action Order is issued when the violator has s0lved the problem prior to issuance of an Administrative Order. Civil Penalty

- This can be used as an enforcement action where it is provided for by statute. It is a monetary or amount of resource damage penalty. In the case of a dangerous waste violation, it can be in the amount up to 

### $10,000 per day per violation. It usually occurs where there is a well-identified, specific violation or there have been continuing or repeated violations. The statutory authority for issuing a civil penalty also provides for the reduction or dismissal of a penalty in some cases of extenuating or mitigating circumstances.

II - 62

### All civil penalty assessments must be assigned and approved by an assistant director. Restraining Order

- Injunction

- Under RCW 

### 70.105.120, Ecology may request the Attorney General to bring injunction, declaratory, or other actions to enforce any requirement of the Hazardous Waste Disposal Act, Chapter 

### 70.105 RCW

.. Prior notification is not required for such action and such action may be taken for threatened, as well as actual violations. The Attorney General's statement provided with this document further clarifies this authority. Criminal Proceedings

- This is the most severe enforcement action available to Ecology. It may be used only when statutory provisions allow. Conviction of a crime means penalties of a fine, prosecution costs, and/or imprisonment. 2. General Procedures The following procedures do not necessarily in all instances occur in the sequence outlined below. This information is intended to represent a general process and may vary according to the severity of the violation or the immediate threat to public health and the environment. 

# • a . 

### b. Someone is not in compliance with the 

### law. Makes a telephone call and/or a personal visit to assess the situation and get the facts on the situation. (1) 

### This will begin the foundation of any needed enforcement action; or (2) 

### It can eliminate or correct any problem with noncompliance; (3) 

### Amemo to the files should be completed to document the situation and any discussions with the violator.

c. If the problem is not solved informally, the next step is to send a warning letter to the violator. This must be signed 

### by the section head or district supervisor.

e. The violator has an opportunity to respond within 30 

### days

. d. If the warning is not heeded and the violation continues, the next step is to issue a Notice of Violation. All of the information is sent to the enforcement officer. He prepares the Notice of Violation and the appropriate assistant director approves and signs it. 

# • f. After Notice of Violation, an Administrative Order is issued by the enforcement officer under the assistant

II - 63

### g.



### h. director's signature. This requires an appropriate response from the violator. If corrective action is being taken by the violator, the initiating program staff member can decide that no further action is necessary. If corrective action is not being taken, the enforcement officer and the initiating staff member should decide one of the following courses of action: (1) Send a reminder letter. This should come from the section head nf the initiating office. (2) Enforcement officer recommends to the appropriate assistant director that the matter should be referred to the Assistant Attorney General for action. i. If option (1; is chosen and the situation is not corrected, the next step is option (2).

This would amount to a temporary variance from the state requirements. Such a variance/compliance schedule would only be provided if requiring immediate compliance: 1) 

### could result in further violations of state regulations; 2) 

### could pose a threat to public health or the environment; or 3) 

### if the violation is minor (e.g., recordkeeping error, procedural problems), could resolve the violation in a short period of time without having to resort to penalties. A variance/compliance schedule would not be issued if it would result in a threat to public health or the environment. Ecology does vary one requirement which EPA does not. This is the fifty-foot setback for containers storing ignitable waste at final status facilities. Ecology allows compliance with the Uniform Fire Code or NFPA

### Timing 0-15 days 0-15 days 15 days 30 days 90 days



# • It is the intent of Ecology to further refine the general definitions and procedures stated above to provide guidance and ensure statewide consistency in dangerous waste enforcement situations. This refinement will include a definition of "high priority" environmental/health risk situations and lessor violations. Associated with this resolution of significance will be specific guidance on level of enforcement actions, including penalty assessment, and timing of those actions. Dangerous waste program compliance and enforcement are recognized as critical state as well as national importance. It is recognized that a strong regulatory position is critical to environmental protection and public health.

• E. Information Management The notification and annual report forms, filled out by dangerous waste generators and TSDs, are the backbone of our information data base. This data can be used by field and headquarters staff to obtain notification information such as types of dangerous waste activities, identification numbers, etc. Also, we provide an annual report summary (see the 1985 Summary in Appendix A) which profiles annual waste generation, treatment, and disposal data. This information can be used to plot trends and identify priorities for other dangerous waste program activities. Ecology has designed an automated system to track TSD facility status. We are currently taking a file inventory and keying data into the system. This data base will contain Part 

### Aand Part 

### B permit information, facility location. dangerous waste activities and the status of financial assurance, and closure and post-closure activities. For the future. we plan to adopt RCRIS (Resource Conversation and Recovery Information System). This is a comprehensive information system devloped for use by both EPA and the states. We plan to develop an implementation plan within the next six months and hope to be operational by September
