# HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT IN IDAHO 

# 2010

INTRODUCTION This report COvers the time period from January 1 through December 31,2010, Itdescribes the types and amounts of hazardous waste generatedin Idaho, how this waste was 

### managed, and any waste remaining on-site. The report also discusses the types and amounts ofhazardous waste imported into Idaho. This information is compiled by the Idaho Department ofEnvironmental Quality (DEQ) from the Idaho Hazardous Waste Generator Annual ReporLli submitted by 

### Large and Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generators (LQGs 

### and SQGs), 

### as required by Idaho Code 

### Section 39-4411(4) ofthe Idaho Hazardous Waste Management Act (HWMA), and from reports submitted 

### by commercial 

### hazardous waste disposal facilities. as required by 

### Idaho Code Section 

### 39-4411(5), This report is distributed to the Governor. Legislature, and the public ofIdaho to present an annual overview 

### ofIdaho hazardQUS waste management activities. Additional information regarding DEQ may be found at http;lIwww"degjdaho.gov. The 

### Idano DEQcontributes to the national overview of hazardous waste management activities through federal biennial reporting and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Infonnation System (RCRAInfo), The federal Biennial Repoft describes national

MIXEDWASTES

- 1,053 Tons 

### This waste 

### is both hazardous and radioactive. For 

### the year 2010, most mixed waste 

### was generated 

### and stored at the fNL TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAl. (1'8D) WASTES

- 969 Tons 

### This hazardous 

### waste is generated from residuals and 

### conection systems at pennittedTSD facilities and

### hazardous waste landfills. SOl.VENT WASTES 146Tons Spent solvents are generated

### by various industry and business activities, such as parts de-greasing. painting. various manufacturing processes. and dry

### The amount ofhazardous waste generated in idaho. as reported by 

### Idaho LQGs and SQGs, increased from 5,055 tons in

The only commercial hazardous waste landfill operating in Idaho is the US Ecology Idaho, Inc, site (formerly Envirosafu Services of Idaho. Inc,) in Owyhee County nearGrand View, (daho. Traditionally, waste received at US Ecology Idaho has been reported in the following three (3) categories: RCRA- This waste is defined 

### by the federaJ Resource Conservation & Recovery Act 

### (ReRA) and HWMA as hazardous, 

### Itis reguJated by Idaho and the federal government. 

### PCB­ lois waste is defined 

### as atoxic substance

### by the federal 

### Toxic Substance 

### Control Act 

### (TSCA). Currently, this waste is regulated in Idaho only 

### by the federal government 

### Non-Haz l

- This category includes both non-hazardous waste and waste regulated as manifested state hazardous wastes by other states (including FUSRAPINORM wastes) and must be disposed in a pennitted RCRA hazardous waste disposal facility when shipped to Idaho. During2010, US Ecology Idaho received 404,532tonsofwaste, a decreaseuf26% ftom the 546,772 tonsreceivt.-"dduring2009. Most of the waste (402,388 tons or>99%) received at US EcologyIdahocame from other states.Thestatefrom whichthemostwaste was sent to liSEcologyIdaho was NewJersey, which sent 115.356 tons fordisposa) in 2010. ldaho generators sent 2,144 «1%) tonstoUS Eculogy Idahoin 2010.The chart onthe foHowing page detailsthe various states and amountofwastethey shippedtoUS EcologyIdaho in 2010.

IThis category has previouslybeen identified as the Stale Waste category. However, due 10- charlges in waste dIsposal options, it**ha.~** become apparent 10 Idaho DEQ this category should mote appmpriatdybe designated as the NOIl·Hazardous category. Itdoes still oontain smaJt amounls ofwaste regu1ated as manifested stale hazMdous waste by other states.
