1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL 

This manual provides guidance to municipal personnel in understanding 

hazardous waste requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 

(RCRA) and the implications of these RCRA requirements for the wastewater 

treatment plant operated by your municipality, for your local pretreatment 

1.1 INTRODUCTION 

program, and for local industries served by the treatment plant. This 

guidance manual has three purposes. 

First, the RCRA notification requirement specified in the General 

Pretreatment Regulations is the manual's primary purpose. 40 CFR 

403.8(f)(Z)(tij) requires that publicly owned treatment works (commonly called 

POTWs) notify their industrial users (IUs) "of applicable Pretreatment 

Standards and any other applicable requirements under Section 204(b) and 405 

of the Clean Water Act and Subtitles C and D of the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act." The manual focuses on Subtitle C, rather than Subtitle D, 

requirements. Subtitle C is directly applicable to industries since this 

program regulates generators, transporters, and disposers of hazardous waste. 

Subtitle D, on the other hand, focuses on nonhazardous solid waste management, 

and regulates landfills of sewage sludge as well as land application and 

storage lagoons for sludge and septage. 

In order to fulfill the pretreatment IU notification provision, you must 

be familiar with RCRA itself. The manual's second purpose, then, Is to 

provide you with a general understanding of how Federal RCRA requirements for 

hazardous waste affect IUs. However, It may be possible that your municipal 

treatment plant is subject to certain RCRA requirements (as will be explained 

later). Thus, the manual's third purpose is to enable you to comply with any 

applicable Federal requirements incumbent upon your POTW under Subtitle C of 

RCRA. 

1.2 RELATIONSHIP OF RCRA TO PRETREATMENT 

To make best use of the manual, it Is first helpful to explain the basic 

operation of RCRA and the National Pretreatment Program and the ways in which 

l-l 
hazardous waste management under RCRA and the regulation of indirect discharges of toxic pollutants under the pretreatment program overlap. The 

distinction between "hazardous" waste and "toxic" pollutants Is also important 

to clarify. RCRA regulates specific waste types as hazardous wastes if they 

either exhibit certain characteristics or are listed in the regulations, and 

imposes controls to ensure that designated wastes are subject to rigorous 

tracking and management practices. Included in the RCRA regulated community 

art hazardous waste generators, transporters, and treatment, storage and 

disposal facilities. 

By contrast, the National Pretreatment Program, established under the 

Clean Uattr Act, has a different focus. It requires POWs or States to 

control toxic pollutants discharged into sewerage systems that may Interfere 

with, pass through, or otherwise upset the POTW's treatment processes. These 

toxic pollutants are identified in the Clean Water Act (Sections 301 and 307). 

In some instances, the same pollutants are considered both toxic and hazardous 

under the National Pretreatment Program and RCRA, respectively. To alleviate 

any confusion, this manual uses the term "hazardous" for those wastes which 

art transported, treated, or stored, and which art defined in 40 CFR Part 261, 

and "toxtc" for those wastes discharged into POTWs and regulated under the 

National Pretreatment Program. 

The first overlap between RCRA and pretreatment, and central to the 

manual's purpose, is that IUs regulated under the National Pretreatment 

Program may also be hazardous waste generators under RCRA. In fact, many IUs 

generate hazardous wastes In the course of pretreating wastewaters (e.g., 

electroplating wastewater treatment sludges are a listed hazardous waste). 

Recognizing this fact, the General Pretreatment Regulations call on POTWs to 

assist IUs with RCRA compliance by notifying them of applicable Subtitle C and 

D requirements. 

Second, under RCRA's Domestic Sewage Exemption (set Section 2.2.3 of this 

manual), any waste generator or Industry may discharge what would otherwise be 

considered hazardous waste into the sewer if such discharges art mixed with 

domestic sewage. With the RCRA amendments of November 1984, which will bring 

1-2 
a larger universe of waste generators under regulation, it is possible that 

the POTS may see an Increase in toxic wastes discharged into the sewer system 

as more waste generators take advantage of thls exemptlon. Thus, RCRA defers 

to the Clean Water Act and pretreatment program regulation to make sure that 

wastes released to POTUs under the Domestic Sewage Exemption are properly 

managed. Clearly, the overlap caused by this exemption places a special 

regulatory challenge on POWs with pretreatment programs. 

A third key overlap affecting munlclpalitits is that POWs themselves may 

be regulated pattlts subject to RCRA requirements. A PDTU that generates a 

sludge which tither falls the extraction procedure toxicity test or exhibits 

one of three other characteristics (ignitability, corrosivity, or reactivity) 

Is considered a hazardous waste generator and must comply with RCRA regulations. Section 2.1.1 explains these four criteria for deteninlng hazardous 

waste. POTUs which rtcejvt hazardous wastes by truck, rail, or separate pipe 

(where hazardous waste Is not mixed with domestic sewage) are considered 

treatment, storage, and disposal facilltfes under RCRA and subject to permitby-rule requirements (set Stctlon 4.2 of this manual). These three overlaps 

between RCRA and pretreatment can directly affect how your municipality 

regulates the discharge of toxic pollutants. 

Although RCRA charges the Federal government wlth rtsponslbility to 

control hazardous wastes, States art authorlred to take over program implementation if they have procedures and statutory and regulatory authority 

equivalent to those required in Federal regulations. The RCRA program uses a 

phased approach to delegate programatlc responsibilities to the States. 

Under this approach, a State first obtains interim authorization (consisting 

of two phases), and then final authorization. The RCRA program also gives 

States a degree of flexlbillty In the way in which they run thti r hazardous 

waste management programs. Since this manual addresses only requirements of 

the Federal RCRA program, it is esstntlal that you learn about all State (and 

local) hazardous waste requirements that may affect the municipal treatment 

plant's operation. Appendix A lists State solld waste agencies that can 

provide you with information on hazardous waste management requirements In 

your State. 

l-3 
This manual gives you an understanding of the relevant provfsions of both 

RCRA and the General Pretreatment Regulatlons which affect you and practical 

guldanct on how you can Infon industrial users of their RCRA obllgrtions and 

assist them in complying with these obllgations. Still, due to the Act's 

technical complexity, its staggered deadlines for program implementation and 

compliance, and the possibility that your State hazardous waste management 

program requirements differ from Federal regulations, some questions will 

undoubtedly require additional assistance beyond this manual's scope. 

Questlons or problems not completely addressed here should be referred to your 

State solid waste management office or to the appropriate EPA Regional offlct. 

A list of these offices appears in Appendix A. 

Further, the most recent amendments to RCRA (in November 1984) rtqulrt 

EPA to undertake studies of and develop regulations for varlous provisions of 

the Act. For example, EPA Is now reviewing the Domestic Sewage ExemptIon, and 

It is possible that the exemption may be revised, based on thls review. In 

addition, EPA needs to develop regulations to implement the notification 

requirement for industrial users specified in Section 3010 of RCRA (and 

dlscussed briefly tn Section 2.2.1 of this manual). Similarly, the Agency 

will be drafting more specific permit-by-rule and corrective actlon requlrtments than those outlined in Chapter 4 of this manual. And finally, the 

Agency Is in the process of revising the extraction procedure toxicity test to 

regulate a larger number of pollutants. These ongoing EPA activities make It 

especially Important that you keep In touch with the EPA Regional office In 

your area or your State waste management agency. 

1.3 ORGANIZATION OF THE MANUAL 

The balance of this manual is organized into the three chapters. 

Chapter 2 swnarirts RCRA requirements for generators and transporters of 

hazardous waste. Chapter 3 outlines POTS requirements under the General 

Pretreatment Regulatlons and txplalns how POTUs must regulate discharges of 

toxic pollutants by Industrial users into the collection system. It also 

provldts guidance on how to inform IUs of their waste management requirements. 

Chapter 4 describes POTU obligations under RCRA and focuses on POW that 

accept hazardous wastes by truck, rail, or separate pipe. Chapter 4 also 

l-4 
explalns general hazardous waste management requirements for POWs accepting 

hazardous wastes under RCRA permits by rule. 

The appendices contain materlals that you can photocopy and use or 

dlstrlbute to notify IUs and waste transporters of their RCRA obligations. 

Sptcifically included are: 

a Lists of hazardous wastes regulated by Federal rtqulrements 

e Selected EPA-approved forms for hazardous waste facllitles to use 

o RCRA Informatlon Brochure briefly outlining the Act's impact on 

Industries that generate or transport hazardous wastes

2. RCRA OBLIGATIONS FOR GENERATORS AND 

TRANSPORTERS Of HAZARDOUS WASTE 

Congress enacted the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act in 1976 (and 

subsequently mended it in 1978, 1980, and 1984) to define a Federal role in 

solid waste and resource management and recovery. The Act's primary goals 

are: (1) to protect human health and the environment from hazardous and other 

solid wastes; and (2) to protect and preserve natural resources through 

programs of resource conservation and recovery. Its principal regulatory 

focus is to control hazardous waste. To this end, RCRA mandates a comprehensive system to identify hazardous wastes and to trace and control their 

movement from generation through transport, treatment, storage, and ultimate 

disposal. 

Extensive hazardous waste regulations have been promulgated under RCRA's 

authority. These regulations art codified under 40 CFR Parts 260, 261, 262, 

263, 264, 265, 266, and 270. Specifically, RCRA provisions art focused in the 

following way: 

• Part 260: General 

l Part 261: Hazardous waste identification and listing 

l Part 262: Hazardous waste generators 

l Part 263: Hazardous waste transporters 

l Parts 264-265: Owners and operators of hazardous waste facilities 

• Part 266: Special requirements 

l Part 270: Hazardous waste permits. 

The remainder of this chapter provides an overview of hazardous waste requirements which may apply to IUs served by your POTW or to your POTW itself if it 

produces a sludge that displays the hazardous waste characteristics described 

In Section 2.1.1. It is designed to enable you to understand RCRA's general 

provisions. Section 2.1 describes generators how of solid waste can determine 

whether that waste is hazardous. Section 2.2 presents management requirements 

under RCRA for hazardous waste generators. Requirements for hazardous waste 

transporters art addressed in Section 2.3. 

2-1 
Appendix B contains a brochure which condenses the information presented 

in this chapter. For your convenience, the brochure has been designed 

especially to be photocopied and sent to your IUs, enabling you to satisfy the 

RCRA notification requirement of the General Pretreatment Regulations. 

2.1 HAZARDOUS WASTE DETERMINATION 

As part of a comprehensive program to regulate hazardous wastes from 

"cradle to grave," Section 3001 of RCRA directs EPA to establish ways to 

determine what waste materials are considered hazardous for regulatory 

purposes. The Section 3001 regulations are codified in 40 CFR Part 261. In 

addition, 40 CFR Part 262 requires solid waste generators to determine whether 

their wastes are hazardous. 

If a business generates any material which is discarded or disposed of, 

it must determine if that material is a "solid waste," according to the 

regulatory definition. In January 1985, EPA proposed its final definition 

of solid waste. According to this definition, "solid waste" is any material 

that is abandoned or disposed of, burned, or incinerated -- or stored, 

The term 

semisolids, or 

treated, or accumulated before or in lieu of these activities. 

includes essentially all forms of waste (i.e., solids, liquids, 

contained gaseous substances). 

In addition, most recycled materials are now considered solid wastes by 

EPA, depending on both the recycling activity itself and the nature of the 

recycled material. The following four types of recycling activities are 

potentially subject to RCRA regulation: 

l Uses which actually constitute ultimate disposal (for example, land 

spreading of wastewater treatment sludges for fertilizer) 

l Burning waste or waste fuels for energy recovery or using wastes to 

produce a fuel 

l Reclamation -- regeneration of wastes or the recovery of material from 

wastes 

• Speculative accumulation -- either accumulating wastes that are 

potentially recyclable but for which no recycling (or no feasible 

recycling) market exists, or accumulating wastes before recycling 

unless 75 percent of the accumulated material is recycled during a 

one-year period. 

2-2 
Five categories of recycled (termed secondary) materials also fall under this 

solid waste definition. 

a Spent materials -- materials that have been used and no longer serve 

the purpose for which they were originally produced without being 

regenerated, reclaimed, or otherwise reprocessed. Examples include 

spent solvents and spent acids. 

l Sludges -- residues from pollution control processes, such as 

wastewater reatment sludges and air emission control wastes. 

l By-products -- residual materials resulting from industrial, 

commercial, mining, and agricultural operations that are not primary 

products, are not produced separately, and are not fit for a desired 

end use without substantial further processing. Examples are process 

residues from manufacturing or mining processes, such as distillation 

column residues or mining slags, 

l Commercial chemical products -- products listed in 40 CFR Part 261.33 

when they are recycled in ways that differ from their normal use. 

l Scrap metal -- metal parts discarded after consumer use or that result 

from metal processing operations. Examples include scrap automobiles 

and scrap radiators. 

Sow materials, however, are NOT considered solid wastes under RCRA, 

including domestic sewage or any mixture of daestic sewage and other wastes 

that pass through a sewer system to a POTU. Also excluded are wastes regulated under other Federal laws, such as industrial wastewater discharged 

directly to public waters (which must be properly permitted) and many nuclear 

or radioactive materials (regulated by the Department of Energy and/or the 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission). Section 2.2.3 discusses three specific 

situations in which wastes are exempted ;rom RCRA requirements. 

There are two ways to know if 

under Federal law: 

a waste is regulated as a hazardous waste

ignitability, corrosivity, 

extraction procedures) -- 

under RCRA. 

of the following four characteristics -- 

reactivity, and toxicity (based on EPA 

it is considered a charactetIstic waste 

l If it (or any part of it) is listed in 40 CFR 261.31-261.33, it is 

commonly called a listed waste in RCRA regulations. Appendix C 

contains these listed wastes. 

2-3 
Characteristic and listed wastes are described below. Figure 2.1 shows EPA's 

hazardous waste identification process. 

Uhether a waste is regulated as a hazardous waste may also depend on two 

other factors. First, as the 1984 RCRA amendments go into effect, some new 

wastes that previously were not regulated will be subject to the hazardous 

waste regulations. Second, some States apply their own hazardous waste 

regulations to wastes in addition to those listed in Federal regulations. 

Thus, if an industry is in doubt about whether its waste is regulated under 

Federal or State hazardous waste regulations, it should contact the State 

hazardous waste agency or EPA regional office. 

2.1.1 Characteristic Wastes 

EPA has identified four characteristics which cause a waste to be 

regulated as a hazardous waste: 

l Ignitability 

l Corrosivity 

a Reactivity 

l Extraction procedure toxicity. 

For each characteristic, EPA has developed or approved methods for determinlng 

whether a waste is hazardous. A solld waste generator ust detemlne rr)nther 

Its rrste l xhlbits any of these four characteristics if Its waste is not a 

?lsted waste (as described in Section 2.1.2 of this Chapter). A brief 

description of each characteristic and applicable tests follows. 

2.1.1.1 Ignitability 

A waste is hazardous by virtue of being ignitable if it is: 

l A liquid with a flash point less than 140°F (other than an aqueous 

solution containing less than 24 percent alcohol by volume) 

l Not a liquid, but is capable of causing fire through friction, 

absorption of moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes under standard 

temperature and pressure conditions

If Is has any of these characteristics, It Is idtntifled for regulatory 

purposes as EPA hazardous waste number 0001. 

2.1.1.2 Corrosivity 

A waste is hazardous by virtue of being corros it is: 

t An aqueous waste with pH less than or equal 

equal to 12.5 

lvt if 

to 2.0 or greater than or 

a A liquid which corrodes steel at a rate greater than 6.35 rllllmtttrs 

per year at a tmperaturt of 55*C. 

If it is corroslvt, it is identified for regulatory purports as EPA hazardous 

waste number 0002. 

2.1.1.3 Reactivity 

A waste is hazardous by vlrtut of being rtactlvt if It: 

l Is normally unstable and rtadlly undergoes violent change wlthout 

detonating 

a Reacts violently with water 

t Foms potentially txploslvt mixtures with water 

a Gtntrates toxic gases, vapors, or fumts uhtn q lxtd with water. 

If It Is reactive, it Is idtntlfitd for rtgulatory purposes as EPA hazardous 

waste nubtr DO03. 

2.1.1.4 Extractlon Proctdurt Toxicity 

According to EPA regulation, a waste Is hazardous by vlrtut of btlng EP 

toxic if it 'falls' the extraction procedure (EP) toxlclty test. This 

regulatory Interprttation of fails means that when the codlntd llquld and 

extract from a rtprtstntativt sample contains any of tight mttals or six 

2-6 
herbicides/pesticides at levels in excess of specified concentration values, 

that sample has failed the EP toxicity test and is hazardous. Table 2.1 lists 

the EP toxicity contaminants and their concentration values (set at 100 times 

the maximum contaminant levels in regulations pursuant to the Federal Safe 

Drinking Water Act for these fourteen contaminants). The EP toxicity test is 

used to determine whether leachate from disposal of a particular waste will 

pollute ground water to levels in excess of maximum concentration levels 

established under the Act. 

EPA is in the process of developing a new extraction procedure that will 

cover significantly more pollutants, including toxic organic compounds. If 

you are in doubt about whether your waste or sludge is considered EP toxic or 

have questions regarding appropriate test procedures, contact your State 

hazardous waste agency or EPA Regional office for more information. 

2.1.2 Listed Wastes 

A waste is regulated and must be managed as a hazardous waste if it 

exhibits one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics of 40 CFR 

261.21-261.24 or if it is listed in 40 CFR 261.31-261.33. EPA developed these 

lists of hazardous wastes based on what was known about specific chemicals and 

wastestreams. Whether or not a waste is hazardous according to the criteria 

for characteristic wastes, if your waste appears on any of the lists, it is a 

regulated hazardous waste. Thus, you must comply with the notification 

requirement of RCRA Section 3010 and with the requirements in 40 CFR Parts 

262-266 and 270. These regulations are described in Section 2.2 and 2.3 of 

this manual. 

Most listed wastes are considered toxic; however, some wastes appear on 

a list solely because they exhibit one or more of the characteristics of 

hazardous waste (described above in Section 2.1.1). A description of the 

kinds of substances included in each list is presented below. Specific 

substances on each list are shown in Appendix C of this manual. EPA has 

proposed to add additional organic wastes and acute toxics to these lists. 

Thus, the lists in Appendix C may be expanded in the near future.

2.1.2.1 Hazardous Wastes fra Nonspecific Sources (F-XXX) 

All wastes listed in 40 CFR 261.31 (the "F" list) must be managed as 

hazardous wastes. These wastes are generated by activities which are not 

specific to a particular industry. For example, spent degreasing solvents are 

listed as F wastes. 

2.1.2.2 Hazardous Wastes from Specific Sources (K-XXX) 

All wastes listed in 40 CFR 261.32 (the "K" list) must be managed as 

hazardous wastes. These include wastes generated by a specific product 

process by a particular industry, such as distillation bottoms from 

nitrobenzene production by the nitration of benzene. Seventy-six hazardous 

wastes from 12 industry categories are listed as K wastes in the current Code 

of Federal Regulations; others have been promulgated since July 1984. 

2.1.2.3 ACUTELY HAZARDOUS ccrcial chemical products, off-specification 

species, container residues, and spill residues (P-XXX) 

Any discarded chemicals included on the "P" list [40 CFR 261.33(e)] must 

be handled as hazardous wastes. P wastes are acutely hazardous and include 

discarded chemical products manufactured or formulated for commercial or 

manufacturing use, and which consist of the commercially pure grade of the 

chemical, any technical grades of the chemical that are produced or marketed, 

and all formulations in which the chemical is the sole active ingredient. In 

listing P wastes, EPA intends to include all acutely toxic chemical products 

which are sometimes thrown away in pure or diluted fonn. Reasons for 

discarding these materials might be that the materials do not meet required 

specifications, that inventories have been changed, or that the product line 

has been changed. 

2.1.2.4 TOXIC cmrcial chemical products, off-specification species, 

container residues, and spill residues (U-XXX) 

Any discarded chemicals included on the "U" list [40 CFR 261.33(f)] must 

be managed as hazardous wastes. Substances appear on the "U" list because 

they either are chronically toxic or exhibit one or more of the 

characteristics of hazardous waste (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or 

EP toxicity). U wastes include chemical products manufactured or formulated 

2-9 
for commercial or manufacturing use, and which consist of the commercially 

pure grade of the chemical, any technical grades of the chemical that are 

produced or marketed, and all formulations in which the chemical is the sole 

active ingredient. 

:f a waste does not appear on any of these lists, then the waste 

generator must determine whether its waste exhibits one or more of the 

characteristics of a hazardous waste, as described in 

2.2 RCRA 

Sect 

hazardous 

REQUIREMENTS FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATORS 

ate generators of 

he environment. These 

ion 3002 of RCRA gives EPA authority to regul 

waste in order to protect human health and t 

regulations, in 40 CFR Part 262, specify hazardous waste management procedures 

for generators, including recordkeeping, labeling, use of appropriate containers, information reporting, and use of shipping manifests. Basic requirements for generators of hazardous waste are explained below. 

Section 2.1.1. 

These requirements for hazardous waste generators are also affected by 

whether EPA considers that generator to be a "small quantity generator." As 

of August 5, 1985, EPA distinguishes three classes of small quantity 

generators for regulatory purposes: 

e Those generating between 100 and 1,000 kilograms 

hazardous waste per calendar month 

of nonacutely 

l Those generating up to 100 kilograms of nonacute 

calendar month 

ly hazardous waste per 

l Those generating less than one kilogram of acute 

calendar month. 

ly hazardous waste per 

In general, the latter two classes of small quantity generators are 

subject to less stringent requirements than establishments producing large 

quantities of hazardous waste, Section 2.2.3.3 discusses the small quantlty 

generator exclusion in more detail. If you have questions about how these 

regulations apply to your operations, contact your State hazardous waste 

agency or EPA Regional office.

hazardous wastes (and is not exempt from regulation) must notify EPA or an 

authorized State and obtain an identification number. Most small quantity 

generators are not required to notify EPA. It is important to note that many 

States have regulations that differ from Federal requirements. All businesses 

involved in hazardous waste activities should contact their appropriate State 

agency to determine which regulations are applicable to them. 

The RCRA Amendments of 1984 extend notification requirements to "solid 

and dissolved materials in domestic sewage" if they contain materials that 

would be defined as "hazardous waste" were they not discharged to sewers, 

Under this provision, IUs covered by the Domestic Sewage Exemption are 

required to notify EPA of any hazardous wastewaters discharged to POT&. However, EPA has yet to formally implement this expanded notification requirement 

for industries making use of the domestic sewage exemption. IUs discharging 

wastes to POT@ under the Domestic Sewage Exemption should periodically contact their State or EPA Region to keep abreast of these impending notification 

requirements. If EPA determines or agrees with an industry's argument that it 

cannot conduct monitoring to satisfy this provision, EPA or an authorized 

State can do the monitoring and pass along costs to the industry. 

2.2.2 Waste Management, Shipping, and Manifest Requirements for Off-Site 

Disposal of Hazardous Waste 

If you generate, transport, treat, store, or dispose of any hazardous 

wastes (and your waste activities are not exempt from regulation), you must 

comply with applicable Federal, State, and local hazardous waste management 

requirements, both when the waste remains on your premises and when it is 

transported off-site. The following sections explain basic requirements for 

the off-site disposal of hazardous wastes. 

2.2.2.1 EPA Identification Number for Generator and Transporter 

)bst Federally regulated generators and transporters of hazardous waste 

ust have EPA idmtlficatlon nmbtrs. An EPA identification number is 

required prior to any transportation, treatment, storage, or disposal of 

2-11 
hazardous waste. A regulated generator must not deliver hazardous waste to 

any transporter or treatment, storage, and disposal facility without an EPA 

identification nunber. This number can be obtained by completing EPA Form 

8700-12 and submitting it to the appropriate EPA Region or authorized State. 

A copy of form 8700-12 is included in Appendfx 0. 

2.2.2.2 Manifests 

Generators of hazardous waste are required to prepare a manifest 

containing the following information for each load of hazardous waste shipped 

off-site: 

l Generator name, address, telephone number and EPA identification 

number 

l Transporter name and EPA identification number 

o Name, address, and EPA identification number of permitted facility 

receiving waste 

o Description of hazardous wastes transported 

0 Waste quantities, types, and number of containers 

l Certification for proper packaging, marking, labeling and 

transportation 

0 Waste minimization certification 

l Manifest document number. 

Special manifest requirements for sma 

Section 2.2.3.3. 

11 quant ity generators are discussed in 

The waste minimization certification is a new requirement which became 

effective on September 1, 1985. Basically, the certification states that the 

generator has a program in place to reduce the volume or quantity and toxicity 

of such waste to the degree determined by the generator to be economically 

practicable, and that the proposed method of treatment, storage, or disposal 

is the practicable method currently available which minimizes the present and 

future threat to human health and the environment. Any generator of more than 

1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month must sign the certification by 

2-12 
hand. Generators of hazardous waste in quantities below those specified in 40 

CFR 261.5 are exempt from this certification requirement. 

The Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest is EPA Form 8700-22 and, if 

necessary, 8700-22A. Copies of both forms appear in Appendix E. Some States 

require that their own version of this form be used. Forms should be obtained 

from: 

a The State to which the shipment is transported (consignment State) 

a The State in which the generator is located (generator State). 

If neither the generator State nor the consignment State supplies the 

manifest, the generator must then obtain a manifest form from any source. 

Each manifest should include enough copies for the generator, each 

transporter, and the designated facility receiving the waste, as well as a 

copy to be returned to the generator. Upon delivery of waste to the transporter, the generator should sign and date the manifest, have the transporter 

sign the manifest, retain one copy, and provide the transporter with all 

remaining copies. A generator who does not receive, within 35 days, a 

manifest copy signed by the facility designated to receive the waste must 

contact the transporter and designated facility to determine what happened to 

the waste. A generator who has not received, within 45 days, a signed 

manifest copy must submit an exception report to the EPA Region. 

Before transporting any hazardous waste off-site, a generator must comply 

with packaging, labeling, marking, and placarding requirements. RCUA pretransport requirements generally incorporate U.S. Department of Transportation 

regulations, described in 49 CFR Parts 171-172. 

2.2.2.3 Follow-up on Manifests 

It is the generator's responsibility to ensure that all waste shipped 

off-site will be acceptable to the TSDF designated on the manifest. A copy of 

the signed manifest must be returned by the TSDF to the generator so that the 

final disposition of hazardous wastes can be traced at a later date. To make 

2-13 
sure that wastes can be traced later, generators should follow up on each 

waste shipment. Generators must keep a copy of each signed manifest for at 

least three years, or until they receive a signed copy from the facility 

designated to rece ive the wastes, Generators must then retain this slgned 

copy for at least three years. 

Whenever deli veries to TSDFs do not match the information on the manifest 

forms for any shipment or whenever the generator does not receive a returned 

copy of the manifest from the designated TSDF, the generator should call 

and/or write to the TSDF to check on whether the delivery was actually 

received. If discrepancies cannot be resolved by phone or mail, the generator 

should file an exceptim report with EPA or the authorized State hazardous 

waste agency. 

Generators must keep copies of exception reports for at least three 

years. Generators must also keep records of any test results, waste analyses, 

or other determinations made in accordance with 40 CFR 262.11 for at least 

three years. 

2.2.2.4 Biennial Report 

Generators that ship their hazardous wastes off-site must prepare and 

submit a report to the appropriate EPA Region by March 1 of each even-numbered 

year. This report covers hazardous waste generator activities during the 

previous odd-numbered calendar year and should be submitted on EPA Form 

8700-13 (see Appendix F) or on a form specified by the State. EPA plans to 

revjse the form to add waste minimization infonatlon items. Some States 

require annual reports. Generators must retain biennial reports for at least 

three years after they are submitted to EPA. 

2.2.3 Exceptions and Exemptions to RCRA Regulations for Generators 

Wastes that are normally subject to hazardous waste regulations are 

exempt in three specific circumstances: 

2-14 
l Domestic sewage extsnptlon 

0 On-site treatment exemption 

a Small quantity generator exclusion. 

Each Is described below. 

2.2.3.1 Domestic Sewage Exemption 

hazardous wastes that are dlrchargti to a POTI and are mixed with 

domestic sewage are excluded from RCRA control because they are not defined as 

"solid waste." Thus, the domestlc sewage exemption covers: 

0 "Untreated sanitary wastes that pass through a sewr system" 

a Any mixture of domestic sewage and other wastes that passes through a 

sewer system to a POTM for treatment. 

2.2.3.2 Exenptlon for On-Site Treatment or Storage of Wastewaters 

RCRA regulations contain an exemptlon for on-slte treatment and storage 

of wastewaters. RCRA regulatlons governing TSDFs and RCRA permitting 

regulations contain provisions which exempt omers and operators of the 

followlng types of facilities, based on definitions in 40 CFR 260.10: 

l Yastewater Treatment Units - Devices which: (1) are part of a 

wastewater treatment facfllty subject to regulatlon under Sections 307 

or 402 of the Clean Water kt (i.e., direct dischargers of wastewaters); (2) receive and treat or store hazardous influent wastewater; 

and (3) meet the definition of a tank. EPA interprets the term 

"wastewater" to refer to waste which is mostly water with a few 

percent contaminants. A l tmkm 1s a stationary device constructed 

prlrarlly of nonearthen materials (e.g., wood, concrete, steel, 

plastic) tilch provide structural support. To determine if the unit 

Is a tank, the unit should be evaluated as if it were free standing, 

and fllled to Its design capacity with material it is Intended to 

hold. If the walls or shell of the unit alone provlde sufficient 

structural support to malntaln the structural integrity of the unit 

under these conditions, the unlt can be considered a tank. kcordIngly, If the unit is not capable of retainlng Its structural 

integrity without supporting earthen materials, it must be considered 

a surface inpounc&nent. 

l Totally Enclosed Treatment Facllltles - Facllltles to treat hazardous 

waste which are directly connected to an industrial production 

2-15 
process, and constructed and operated in a manner which prevents the 

release of any hazardous waste or any constituent thereof into the 

envirormnent during treatment. An EPA policy memorandun (July 27, 

1981) states that "a totally enclosed treatment facility" must: (1) 

be completely contained on all sides, (2) pose negligible potential 

for escape of constituents to the environment, (3) be connnected 

directly by pipeline or similar totally enclosed devtce to an industrial production process. The memorandun also indicates that effluent 

discharged to l WTM is exapt fra RCRA regulation. however, It is 

subject to pretreatment regulations. 

e Elementary Neutralization Units - Devices used for neutralizing waste 

deffned as hazardous solely because it is corrosive, and which meet 

the definitions of tank, container, transport vehicle or vessel in 40 

CFR 260.10. 

These three definitions, but principally the definition of 'wastewater 

treatment unit," create a broad exemption applying to the treatment and 

storage of wastewater. Taken together, the definitions of "wastewater 

treatment unit" and the regulatory provisions exempting omers and operators 

of wastewater treatment units from TSDF regulations can be construed to allow 

storage of wastewater treatment sludge as long as the facility meets the 40 

CFR 260.10 definition of "tank" and is part of a wastewater treatment facility 

subject to regulations under Sections 402 or 307(b) of the Clean Water Act. 

The treatment and storage exception cited above does not apply to any 

on-site facility which does not qualify as a wastewater treatment unit, a 

totally enclosed treatment facflity, or an elementary neutralization unit. 

Consequently, open storage facilities (e.g., #stc plies or surface lqxwndmerits) and on-site dlsposrl operations (e.g., landfills, lmd application, or 

incineration) an governed by storage and disposal facility mqulrcrnts and 

RCRA pemittlng fequl~ts. 

Federal hazardous waste regulations clearly apply to both industrial and 

POTW sludges, unless they are contained in a tank which is part of a wastewater treatment unit [according to RCRA Sections 1004(26A) and (27) and EPA 

regulatory decisions published in the Federal Register of May 19, 1980, Vol. 

45, MO. 98, p. 331011. Owners or operators of industries and POTUs that 

generate, treat, or dispose of sludge that fits the regulatory definltion of a 

"solid uaste’ are obligated, under RCRA Subtitle C, to determine ðer the 

2-16 
sludge they generate is a hazardous waste. Definitions and procedures for 

this determination are contained in RCRA Section 3001 and in 40 CFR 261, and 

are sunmarired in Section 3.1 of this manual. 

RCRA is designed to provide stringent regulations for open facilities, 

such as surface impoundments, which are more likely to result in a release of 

hazardous wastes, while providing smewhat more flexible regulation of 

enclosed or semi-enclosed systems (e.g., treatment tanks, etc.) which tend to 

pose less risk to the envirorxnent. The RCRA Amendments of 1984 strengthen 

Federal regulatory authority over all of these systems. EPA is in the process 

of mvislq~ ngulatlons for these systcn and developtng corrective action 

standards for tha. 

EPA Is also in the process of developing comprehensive sludge management 

regulations based on Subtitles C and D of RCRA, the Clean Water Act, the 

Mwlne Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act, and other Federal statutes. 

These comprehensive regulations will be issued by the end of 1987. For the 

most current information on sludge management regulations, contact your State 

solld or hazardous waste management agency, or EPA Regional office. 

2.2.3.3 Small Quantity Generator Exclusion 

Currently, EPA does not regulate generators of small quantities of 

hazardous waste as stringently as it regulates generators of larger quantities. This exclusion reduces the burden of paperwork on small quantity 

generators, State hazardous waste agencies, and EPA. The Agency now divides 

small quantity generators Into three classes: 

l Generators of less than one kilogram per month of acutely hazardous 

waste 

a Generators of less than 100 kllogrrms per month of nonacutely 

hazardous waste 

l Generators of between 100 and 1,000 kilograms per month of nonacutely 

hazardous waste. 

2-17 
The first two classes of hazardous waste generators are required only to 

perform a hazardous waste determination (described in Section 2.1). store, 

treat, or dispose of hazardous waste on-site in accordance with regulations, 

or ensure its delivery to an authorized hazardous or nonhazardous treatment, 

storage, or disposal facility. 

The third class of generators, those who generate between 100 and 1,000 

kilograms of hazardous waste per month, while still exempt from the bulk of 

RCRA requirements, are now required to accompany al 1 off-site shipments of 

hazardous waste with a single copy of the Uniform hazardous Waste Manifest 

(EPA Forms 8700-22 and 8700-22 A) or the State equivalent. This form must 

contain the following information: 

l Name and address of the waste generator 

l U.S. Department of Transportation description of the waste, including 

shipping name, hazard class, and identification nunber (UN/NA) 

l Number and type of containers 

e Quantity of waste in the shipment 

e Name and address of the facility designated to recedve the waste. 

Although EPA does not regulate small quantity generators as stringently 

as 1 arge quantity generators, several States have small quantity generator 

requirements which are more stringent than Federal requirements. If yw have 

any questions about requirements for hazardous wstc mmagaent, contwt pur 

State hmmdous rnste agency or EPA. 

2.3 RCRA REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPmTERS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE 

EPA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and many States regulate 

transportation of hazardous waste in order to protect hunan health and the 

environment from hazardous waste releases. EPA's regulatory authority for 

transporters is based on Section 3003 of RCRA. EPA and the Department of 

Transportation have jointly set standards for hazardous waste transportation, 

which are described in 40 CFR Parts 262 and 263, and 49 CFR Parts 171 and 172. 

These standards include recordkeeping, labeling, and manifest requirements, as 

2-18 
well as the requirement to transport hazardous wastes only to permitted 

facilities for treatment, storage, or disposal, as designated on hazardous 

waste shipping manifests. Maurdous raste transporters hauling wastes to POIU 

collection systas or treatment plants must ensure that these wastes meet all 

local, State, and Federal pretreatment standards, in addition to RCRA 

requirements. 

2.3.1 Notification to EPA and EPA Identification Number 

Transporters of hazardous waste must notify EPA or an authorized State 

hazardous waste agency and obtain an EPA identification nuber. Transporters 

must not move hazardous wastes without an EPA identification number. This 

nunber can be obtained by completing EPA form 8700-12 (Appendix D) and 

submitting it to the EPA Region or authorized State. 

EPA Regional Offices have special procedures to issue provisional 

identification nunbers to generators and transporters of hazardous waste under 

emergency or other unusual circumstances when it becomes necessary to transport the waste to an authorized hazardous waste management facility. In 

emergency situations, the transporter should telephone the EPA Regional Office 

(refer to Appendix A) and obtain a provisional identification nunber and 

additlonal Instructions. 

Transporters tie store manifested shipments of hazardous waste in 

approved containers at a transfer facility for ten days or less are not 

subject to regulations for treatment, storage, and disposal facilities under 

40 CFR Parts 264, 265, and 270. Transporters storing shipments for more than 

ten days must obtain permits as hazardous waste storage facilities. 

2.3.2 Manifests and Reports 

Transporters may not accept hazardous waste from generators unless each 

load is accompanied by a completed manifest (as described in Section 2.2.2.2 

of this chapter). Prior to transporting hazardous wastes, transporters must 

sign and date each manifest, acknowledging that they have accepted the 

hazardous waste described by the manifest. A copy of each manifest must be 

left with the consigning generator. The manifest must accoqany the hazardous 

ustc rt all times. 

2-19 
Upon delivery of the hazardous waste to another transporter or designated 

facility, transporters must: 

l Have the new transporter or owner/operator of the designated facility 

sign and date the manifest 

l Retain one copy of the manifest and give the remaining copies to the 

transporter or facility accepting the waste. 

2.3.3 Transporter or Generator Agreements With Designated Facilities 

In many cases, treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (including 

POTUs) will accept deliveries of hazardous waste only if they have standing 

agreements with transporters and/or generators. These agreements may 

desIgnate types, strengths, and quantities of hazardous waste which the 

facility will accept, limit conditions of waste to be accepted (for exaple, 

"no liquid hazardous wastes"), designate times and locations for accepting 

deliveries, and designate treatment, storage, or disposal fees. Hazardous 

waste transporters are legally responsible for delivery of the entire quantity 

of hazardous waste accepted from a generator or another transporter to the 

facility designated by the manifest, or to designated alternate facilites. 

Before accepting any consigment of hazardous waste for transportation, the 

transporter should make sure that the treatment, storage, or disposal facility 

designated on the manifest or an alternate designated facility will accept 

delivery of its uaste. 

2-20 
3. POTW AUTHORITY TO REGULATE TOXIC WASTE DISCHARGERS 

UNDER THE GENERAL PRETREATMENT REGULATIONS 

The General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR Part 403) require that 

municipal treatment plants regulate nonresidential waste discharges into 

public sewers. These Federal requirements provide the legal framework within 

which your local pretreatment program can control discharges of toxic wastes. 

Some of these wastes may also be affected by RCRA provisions. This chapter 

details how the National Pretreatment Program can be used to control toxic 

waste discharges and explains the RCRA notification provision of the General 

Pretreatment Regulations. 

3.1 THE NATIONAL PRETREATMENT PROGRAM 

The goal of EPA's National Pretreatment Program is to protect POTWs and 

the environment from the adverse impact that may occur when hazardous or toxic 

wastes are discharged into a sewage system. This protection is achieved 

primarily by regulating industrial users that discharge toxic wastes or 

unusually strong conventional wastes. There are four major problems that can 

be prevented through implementation of a local pretreatment program: 

l Interference with POTW operations 

l Pass through of pollutants to receiving waters 

l Contamination of municipal sludge 

• Exposure of workers to chemical hazards. 

Under the National Pretreatment Program, there are three possible ways 

for you to control toxic waste discharges: 

l Implement prohibited discharge standards 

l Enforce categorical pretreatment standards 

l Require compliance with local limits. 

Each type of control is summarized below. 

3-1 
3.1.1 Prohibited Discharge Standards 

Section 403.5(a) of the General Pretreatment Regulations gives POTWs the 

authority to prohibit or limit discharges of any pollutant, including 

hazardous wastes, which could pass through the treatment process into 

receiving waters, interfere with treatment plant operations, or limit sludge 

disposal options. This prohibition applies to substances which would cause 

treatment process interference or pollutant pass through, either alone or in 

combination with other discharges or constituents in the system. More 

specifically, Section 403.5(b), the prohibited discharge standards, requires 

the POTW to prohibit discharges of pollutants that: 

• Create a fire or explosion hazard in the sewers or treatment works 

l Are corrosive (with a pH lower than 5.0) 

• Obstruct flow in the sewer system or interfere with POTW operations 

l Upset treatment processes or cause a violation of the POTW's discharge 

permit 

• Increase the temperature of wastewater entering the treatment plant to 

above 104°F (4O°C). 

These provisions allow your POTW to regulate or prohibit discharges of many 

wastes that are ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or EP-toxic and termed 

"characteristic" wastes under RCRA. (Characteristic wastes were described in 

greater detail in Chapter 2.) 

3.1.2 Categorical Pretreatment Standards 

To complement the prohibited discharge standards which apply to all 

industrial and commercial establishments connected to POTWs, the General 

Pretreatment Regulations also establish categorical pretreatment standards. 

Categorical standards regulate industrial discharges in specific industrial 

categories determined to be the most significant sources of toxic pollutants 

to POTWs. Each standard contains limits for pollutants commonly discharged by 

a specific industrial category. These standards are technology-based; 

pollutant limits specified in the standards apply at the end of the regulated 

manufacturing process. All firms falling within particular category are 

3-2 
required to comply with applicable standards, no matter where they are located 

in the country. To date, EPA has proposed 27 specific categorical standards 

of which 22 standards are final. Many industries regulated by categorical 

pretreatment standards generate hazardous wastes regulated by RCRA as well. 

3.1.3 Local Limits 

The General Pretreatment Regulations give POTWs the responsibility to 

deVelOQ, implement, and enforce local limits. Local limits are developed to 

prevent interference, pass through, and sludge contamination. POTWs must 

establish and enforce local effluent limits if: 

l A categorical industry discharges pollutants harmful to the treatment 

system and EPA has not yet promulgated categorical standards for that 

industry 

l Categorical standards are not sufficient to protect treatment plant 

operations 

l The POTW considers them necessary to protect its operational 

integrity. 

Local limits are a third way in which hazardous waste dischargers can be 

regulated under your pretreatment program. 

3.2 ELEMENTS OF A LOCAL PRETREATMENT PROGRAM 

A local pretreatment program blends legal authority, technical infonation, and administrative QrOCedureS to effectively control nondomestic discharges to the POTW, including toxic wastes and wastes discharged under the 

Domestic Sewage Exemption. Legal authority means that the POTW is able to 

apply and enforce Federal pretreatment requirements and any other State or 

local regulations to control industrial users. Permits or contracts are 

cmonly used to implement a POTU's legal authority. Technical infomation 

consists of the data obtained by the POTU to identify and characterize 

nondomestic discharges to its treatment system. These data are used to 

establish local effluent limits that protect the treatment plant's operation, 

its receiving water quality, and its sludge quality. 

3-3 
The third element of a local pretreatment program is its abinistratirc 

procedures. According to 40 CFR 403.8(f)(2), the POTU must establish 

procedures to: 

l Notify industrial users of applicab 1 

l Receive and analyze self-monitoring 

industrial users 

l Random ly sample and analyze industri 

0 Invest 

0 Comply 

al effluents 

igate instances of noncompliance 

with public participation requirements. 

e standards and requirements 

reports and other notices from 

Section 403.8(f)(2)(iii) states that the POTU shall notify industrial users of 

applicable pretreatment requirements and other applicable requirements under 

both Sections 204(b) and 405 of the Clean Water Act and Subtitles C and D of 

the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. 

3.3 NOTIFICATION OF TOXIC WASTE DISCHARGERS BY POTUS 

The requirement that POTUs notify their industrial users of applicable 

provisions under Subtitles C and D of RCRA ensures that those users that 

produce hazardous wastes are informed of their hazardous waste management 

obligations under Federal law. Although these users may discharge toxic 

substances into the public sewers and thereby be exempt from certain RCRA 

requirements, the same wastes disposed of by other means may be subject to 

Subtitles C and D requirements. Fins in this situation may not be aware of 

their RCRA requirements. 

Further, under the 1984 RCRA Amendments, any industry that generates more 

than 100 kllograms (about half of a 55 gallon drum) of hazardous waste per 

month will soon be subject to RCRA regulations as a hazardous waste generator. 

As a result of these recent amendments, the number of businesses subject to 

RCRA regulations will increase from about 15,000 to roughly about 175,000. 

Many of these hazardous waste generators may not be aware of what these 

requirements entail. Since most local hazardous waste generators are also 

customers of your POTU, your notification that they may be subject to State 

3-4 
and Federal hazardous waste regu lations will greatly assist them in complying 

with such regulations. 

If industries and other tox i c waste generators are not adequately 

informed about RCRA and State waste management regulations, they may not 

understand these regulations because of their complexity. They may take 

advantage of RCRA's domestic sewage exemption and discharge additional toxic 

wastes to your POTW. Therefore, it is important for your users to understand 

how hazardous waste management regulations affect them. 

3.4 PRACTICAL GUIDELINES FOR POTWS 

This section suggests steps that your staff may wish to take in order to 

notify IUs of applicable RCRA requirements. Each POTW has its own ways of 

classifying nondomestic users and its own ways of communicating with them. 

Thus, these suggested steps are general in nature and you should feel free to 

modify them to meet your POTW's unique conditions. 

3.4.1 How to Inform IUs 

If you want to make sure that your users know about local, State, and 

Federal hazardous waste management regulations, here are some possible steps 

POTW staff can take. 

3.4.1.1 Contact Your State or Local Hazardous Waste Agency 

As a first step, you can contact the agency administering RCRA plus any 

other State hazardous waste regulations about special State requirements for 

hazardous waste generators, storage facilities, and transporters in the area 

served by your POTU. A list of the appropriate State agencies is contained in 

Appendix A of this manual. POTUs located in States or territories without 

authorized hazardous waste programs should contact the waste management 

division at the appropriate EPA Region. States will often have information 

packets containing State hazardous waste management requirements, like the 

Federal RCRA regulations, which they can send to you. By contacting your 

State or EPA Regional waste management division, you may also be able to 

obtain a list of local industries that generate, handle, or dispose of 

3-5 
hazardous waste. Such a list will be very helpful since it identifies those 

industries subject to RCRA requirements. 

3.4.1.2 Review List of POTM Industrial Users 

Your next step is to review the original list of IUs compiled as part of 

your industrial waste survey for the pretreatment program. Because some 

industries which might not be classified as Ills under your pretreatment 

program discharge substances regulated by RCRA, it is important to go back to 

the original list of industries possibly subject to pretreatment requirements, 

rather than using a list representing pretreatment industries only. For 

example, commercial establishments, warehouses, railroad yards, auto repair 

shops, and radiator shops may not be covered by your local pretreatment 

program, but can generate, handle, or transport hazardous wastes, and thus 

should be notified about applicable RCRA provisions. 

From the original IU list, you can determine which industries may be 

subject to RCRA requirements. To make this determination, you may have to 

call local industries or otherwise determine precisely what processes they 

operate. Alternatively, you may want to develop a simple questionnaire to 

send to these industrial and commercial facilities that will enable you to 

determine which generate, handle, and transport hazardous waste. Your efforts 

in this step should result in a list of industries potentially regulated by 

RCRA. 

3.4.1.3 Notify Your Industrial Users 

Notification of your IUs may take several forms. At a minimum, you may 

simply wish to send a letter with the sewer service bill stating that the IU 

may be subject to hazardous waste requirements under RCRA Subtitles C and D. 

A copy of such a letter can be seen in Appendix G. If you want to send more 

detailed information, Appendix B of this manual may be copied and mailed to 

local industries. In addition, two pamphlets describing small quantity 

hazardous waste generators are available from EPA Headquarters. A copy of 

each appears in Appendix H. These pamphlets as well could be sent to your 

Ills. 

3-6 
To supplement this written material, you may wish to schedu!e an informational meeting with representatives of industrial users so that Federal and 

State hazardous waste requirements can be explained to your customers. A 

representative of EPA or the State could speak at this meeting and inform IUs 

of relevant RCRA or State hazardous waste regulations. 

3.4.2 Checklist for Notification of Industrial Users 

The checklist in Table 3.1 is provided to assist you in taking necessary 

steps to notify your industrial users of their hazardous waste management 

requirements under Federal, State, and local regulations. Some items may not 

apply to your particular situation and the check1 ist can be modified 

accordingly.

4. RCRA REQUIREMENTS FOR POTWs 

4.1 OVERVIEW OF POTW REQUIREMENTS 

ALL POTWS THAT RECEIVE HAZARDOUS WASTE BY TRUCK, RAIL, OR PIPE (WHEN THE 

WASTE IS NOT MIXED WITH DOMESTIC SEWAGE) ARE SUBJECT TO SOME RCRA HAZARDOUS 

WASTE MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS because EPA considers these POTWs to be TSDFs. 

The first step to ascertain if your POTW is a hazardous waste TSDF is to 

determine whether or not your facility receives, by truck, train, or dedicated 

pipe, wastes defined as hazardous under RCRA (see Chapter 2 for information on 

hazardous waste definitions). If a generator discharges hazardous wastes to 

your POTW through a pipe that does not carry domestic sewage and does not mix 

with domestic sewage before the treatment plant headworks, then the domestic 

sewage exemption does not apply. In this situation, your POTW becomes a 

hazardous waste TSDF. Check with your State hazardous waste authority or EPA 

to determine your plant's situation. 

In general, POTWs that receive hazardous waste and that comply with 

their NPDES permits are covered by "permits by rule," according to 40 CFR 

270.60(c). Section 4.2 describes permit-by-rule requirements. 

If your POTW does not receive hazardous waste (according to the 

definitions of hazardous waste in Chapter 2 of this manual), then it is not a 

TSDF and does not need to comply with RCRA hazardous waste treatment 

regulations. If your POTW only receives substances described in Section 2.1 

through a sewer or mixed with domestic sewage, then it is not a TSDF and does 

not need to comply with many RCRA regulations. 

Some POTWs receiving these wastes only through sewers or mixed with 

domestic sewage still generate sludge which States or EPA may regulate as a 

characteristic hazardous waste. Although sludge from most POTWs is not a 

hazardous waste, States do regulate the disposal of POTW sludge with high 

concentrations of certain toxic constituents as hazardous waste. Since State 

hazardous waste program requirements may be more stringent than Federal 

4-1 
regulations, you should check with your State discharge permitting authority 

or your State solid waste authority to find out how management of your POTW's 

sludge is regulated. In some areas, storage and disposal of sludge with high 

metal or other toxicant content is regulated in the same way as would be any 

other hazardous waste. 

4.2 BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR POTWS WITH RCRA PERMITS BY RULE 

A POTW that receives hazardous wastes and is subject to a permit by rule 

must comply with the requirements described below, according to 40 CFR 

270.60(c). 

1. The POTW owner or operator must have a NPDES permit, issued by EPA or 

a delegated State. 

2. The POTW must comply with the conditions of its NPDES permit or State 

discharge permit. 

3. The hazardous waste received by the POTW must meet all Federal, 

State, and local pretreatment requirements which would apply to the 

waste if it were discharged into the POTW through a sewer. This 

means that POTWs under RCRA permits by rule may only accept types of 

waste or waste with pollutant concentrations that would be permissible under the General Pretreatment Regulations, including prohibited discharge standards, categorical standards (if the waste is 

from a categorical industry) and/or local limits. Wastes that are 

prohibited by an pretreatment standard may not be transported or 

discharged to the POTW treatment plant or collection system. 

Industrial monitoring criteria for sewered wastes regulated by the 

pretreatment program also may apply to hazardous wastes transported 

by truck, train, or separate pipe to the POTW treatment plant or 

collection system. 

4. The POTW must apply for and obtain an EPA hazardous waste facility 

identification number from the appropriate State or EPA Region Waste 

Management Division. 

5. The POTW operator must use the hazardous waste manifest system for 

recordkeeping and reporting by TSDFs, as described in 40 CFR 264.71. 

According to these regulations, operators of POTWs receiving 

hazardous waste must fill out the TSDF portions of the EPA/U.S. 

Department of Transportation uniform manifest form or the equivalent 

State form. 

Any delivery of hazardous waste to the POTW treatment plant or 

collection system by truck or rail must be accompanied by a hazardous 

waste manifest form. The POTW operator accepting the hazardous waste 

delivery should make sure that the generators' and transporters' 

4-2 
sections of all manifest forms are properly filled out. The POTU 

operator should complete the treatment/storage/disposal sections of 

the manifests, and do the following things: 

l Sign and date each copy of the manifest, certifying that the POTU 

received the hazardous waste covered by the manifest. 

e Note all significant discrepancies in the manifest on each copy of 

the manifest. Significant discrepancies include differences 

between the amount or type of hazardous waste described on the 

manifest and the amount or type of waste the POTU actually 

received. A significant difference is greater than 10 percent by 

neight for bulk waste, or an 

j: 

difference in the number, size, or 

total volume of containers or batch waste. Discrepancies in type 

can be discovered by quick inspection or by waste analysis. They 

include instances such as the substitution of a solvent for an 

acid, or the presence of toxic constituents not reported on the 

manifest. It 4s not necessary for the operator to analyze the 

uaste before signing the manifest. The operator must report 

unexplained discrepancies later, however. 

l Immediately give the transporter at least one copy of the signed 

manifest. 

l Send a copy of each signed manifest to the generator named on the 

manifest, within 30 days after delivery. 

o File a copy of each manifest at the treatment facility and retain 

these manifests for at least three years from their delivery 

dates. 

o The POTU operator should not accept hazardous waste delivered by 

train or boat unless the waste description and quantity sections 

of the manifest or shipping paper have been properly filled out. 

If the manifest or shipping paper does not have the necessary EPA 

hazardous waste generator and transporter nunbers, generator's 

certification, and signatures, the POTU operator must still fill 

out the TSDF sections of the manifest or shipping paper, and 

itmnediately give the train or boat transporter at least one copy. 

If the POTU operator does not receive a complete copy of the 

manifest within 30 days, the operator should send a signed and 

dated copy of the shipping paper back to the generator to certify 

that the POTU received the waste. The POTU should not accept 

hazardous waste deliveries from generators of greater than 100 

kilograms but less than 1000 kilograms (during one calendar month) 

without an accompanying manifest. 

6. If the POTW operator accepts hazardous mste without a manifest of 

shipping pape~,the operator must send a reporttotheauthorized 

State agency or EPA Regional Maste #nqaent Division. The report 

must be sent within 15 days after the waste is received. 

4-3 
7. The PON operator wst keep a written operating record at the 

facility. This information must be recorded as it becomes available 

and maintained in the facility's permanent operating record. 

Generally, the records necessary to comply with NPDES permits also 

fulfill many RCRA requirements. Operators must also record the 

following infomiation: 

a A description of the quantity of each hazardous waste received 

e Method(s) and date(s) of its treatment, storage or disposal 

including sludge disposal. 

a. The PON omer or oprrtor must sdmit a repoft to the authorized 

State agency or EPA Region Uaste Management Dirision by krch 1 of 

each even-nrrberd year. One copy of this biennial report must be 

submitted on EPA form 8700-138 or State equivalent. A copy of EPA 

fon 8700-136 is included in Appendix I of this booklet. The report 

must cover treatment plant activities during the previous oddnunbered calendar year and must include: 

l POTU's EPA hazardous waste identification nunber and facility 

address 

a Calendar year covered by the report 

l EPA hazardous waste identification nunber for each hazardous waste 

generator from rrhich hazardous waste was received 

l Descriptions and quantities of each hazardous waste received 

during the year, listed by each generator's EPA identification 

number 

# Method of treatment or storage for each hazardous waste, if there 

is any variation in these at the POlU 

o Signature/certification of the POTU owner or operator. 

4.3 CORRECTIVE ACTION REQUIREMENTS FOR POTUS UITH RCRA PERMITS BY RULE 

- mm - 

All RCRA permits issued to TSDFs after November 8, 1984 must require 

corrective action for all releases of hazardous waste or constituents to any 

environmental media from solid waste management units regardless of when the 

hazardous waste was accepted. EPA is currently developing a regulatory 

strategy for POTUs affected by this provision (those that accept hazardous 

waste by truck, rail, or dedicated pipe). POTUs and IUs that discharge 

hazardous wastes to POTUs are advised to contact appropriate State or EPA 

hazardous waste officials to stay abreast of new developnents in this area. 

4-4 
4.4 ALTERNATIVES TO CURRENT PERMITS BY RULE 

There are three alternatives open to POTUs accepting hazardous waste not 

covered by the domestic sewage exemption, by truck or train, under the new 

RCRA requirements: 

l The PON may choose to no longer accept delivery of any hazardous 

raste, by truck, train, or separate pipe, separate frm drstic 

semge 

0 The POTM may obtain a regular RCRA permit as a treatment, storage, or 

disposal facility 

l At a later date, EPA expects to establish a regulatory scheme that may 

provide for POTW corrective action requirrts in a national RCIU 

permit by rule. 

You may wish to weigh the advantages of each option according to the situation 

of your own POTU.

0. HON !ldve requirements for small quantity 

gener,irors changed? 

A.~ndrr the May 1980 hazardous waste regulations. 

small lluantlty generators have been required onI!. 

to determine whether or not they produce 

hazardous waste. and to see that the waste IS sent 

to facllitles approved by EPA or a state to manage 

solid or hazardous waste. 

In the 1984 dmendments to RCR.4. however. 

Congress directed EP;\ to publish by *March 31. 

1986. reguldtlons covering generators of more than 

100 but less than 1.000 kilograms of hazardous 

waste per month. In these regulations. EP.4 must. 

at a mlnlmum. require these small quantity 

generators to see that their hazardous waste IS 

managed at an approved hazardous waste facllrti 

The new law also specifies that by August 5. 

1985. generalors of 100 to 1.000 kllograms of 

hazardous waste per month will be required to

characteristics [ignitability. reactivity. corroslvity. 

toxicity) that make it dangerous to human health 

and the environment after it is discarded; or (21 it 

is listed among the approximately -WI substances 

EPA has determtned to be hazardous. 

EPA’s hazardous waste regulations are explained 

in detail in the Code of Fedeml Regulations (CFR) 

al 40 CFR Parts 260-266. If the Code of Fedeml 

Regulations is not available for reference. contact 

one or more of the following for information: 

H-3 
-EPA’s RCRA Hotline: 800-424-9346 1382~3000 in 

the Washington. DC. area1 

-EPA’s Small flusiness Hotline: 800-368-5888 

-EPA RegIonal Offices (see list below) 

-nalional or regional trade associations 

In ALL cases. generatars should contact their 

state agency responsible for hazardous waste 

management for information on state rqurrements. 

Q.How can generators obtain copies of the Uniform 

Manifest! 

A.Smatl quantity generators should first check with 

their state agency responsible for hazardous waste 

management since 22 states require use of their 

own versions of the Uniform Manifest and may 

require additional information. such as generator 

identification numbers or the name of the waste 

hauler. EPA regional offices (see list below) may be 

able to assist small quantity generators in obtaining 

the proper manifest form. If no state manifest is 

rwquired. the manifest may be photocopied from 

the Fedeml Register of March 20. 1984. or 

purchased from some commercial printers. 

Q. What requirements do states impose on small 

quantity generotors! 

A.State requirements may be stricter than federal 

requirements for small quantity generators. For 

example. 15 states (California. Illinois. Kansas. 

Louisiana. Maine. Maryland. Massachu.setts. 

Minnesota. Missouri. New Hampshire. New jersey. 

Rhode Island. South Carolina. Vermont. and 

Washington) already require generators of under 

1.000 kilogremr per calendar month to manifest 

their waste and ship it only to authorized 

hazardous waste management facilities. Four states 

[California. Louisiana. Minnesota, end Rhode 

Island) have no small quantity generator 

exemptions snd. therefore, cumdy regulate 8ll 

generrton of hazardous waste. Other stetes have 

differing exclusion levels. Firms that think they 

msy be generators of hazardous waste are strongly 

encounged to contact their strte h8urdous waste 

management agency for informetion on the 

requirements. 

Q.Where can small quantitv generators get further 

information or assistance? 

A. Generators should contact their state hazardous 

waste offices for information on requirements the\, 

must meet. 

For questions on the RCRA amendments or 

federal hazardous waste regulations in general. 

generators may contact their EPA regional office 

(see list below) or EPA’s toll-free RCRA Hotline. 

800-424-9346; in Washington, DC. 382-3000. Small 

quantity generators may also wish to contact EP;\‘s

The 

New RCRA 

Requirements 

H-5 
0 n November 8. 1984. amendments were 

enacted strengthening the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). the federal 

law which protects human health and the 

environment from improper waste management 

practices. This n3w legislation-the Hazardous and 

Solid Waste Amendments-makes many changes 

in the national program which regulates hazardous 

waste from the time it is generated to its final 

disposition. The program is administered by the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

through its Office of Solid Waste. 

011s of the new Rm provisions directs EPA to 

promulgate regulations for the generators of small 

quantities of hazardous wasts Previously, EPA 

regulated only those establishments generating 

more than 1.000 kilograms (2.200 pounds) of 

hazardous waste per month. Under the new law, 

establishments that generate 100 kilograms (220 

pounds, or roughly half a 55-gallon drum) but less 

than 1.000 kilograms in a calendar month will 

have to comply with those requirements which 

cover the transportation and disposal of hazardous 

waste. 

Newly Regulated Buainemeu 

EPA estimates that the new RCM will increase the 

number of federally regulated generators from 

about 15.000 to well over 100,000 firms. An EPA 

survey releasud in March 1985 suggested that mom 

than half of these small quantity generators fall 

into one of five categories: 

l Vehicle maintenance 

l Manufacturing and finishing of metals 

0 Printing 

l Photography 

l Leundries and dry cleaners 

Other industrial categories with a substantial 

number of small quantity generators are: wood 

preserving. analytical and clinical laboratories, 

construction. and pesticids applkators. 

The new federal requirements will have their 

greatest impact on the waste management practices 

of firms not now regulated by state hazardous 

wute laws. At least 22 states currently impose 

some degree of mgulation on small quantity 

generators. 

August 1985 Requirements 

Starting in August 1965. small quantity generators 

who ship their hazardous waste off their premises 

must obtain and fill out parts of a Uniform 

Hazardous Waste Manifest. This Ls a form that EPA 

and the Department of Transportation (DOT) 

currently require all regulated hazardous waste 

generators to use when they ship hazardous 

waste. The manifest provides a way to track a 

shipment of hazardous waste from its origin to its 

final disposal. 

The manifest must accompany shipments of 

hazardous waste made after August 5, 1985. The 

manifest must include: 

l The generator’s name, address, and signature. 

l The DOT description of the waste, including the 

shipping name. hazard classification. and 

identification number. 

l The number and type of containers. 

l The quantity of waste being transported. 

l The name and address of the facility designated 

to receive the waste. 

By March 31. 1986, EPA must issue final 

mgulations that protect human health and 

environment from small quantities of hazardous 

waste. At a minimum, the new regulations must: 

l Require that hazardous waste from generators of 

more than 100 kilograms per month must be 

tmated, stored. or disposed of at an approved 

hazardous waste facility. 

l Allow small quantity generators to store waste 

on the premises of the establishment for up to 180 

days without the need for a storage permit. The 

period may be extended to 270 days for waste that 

must be transported more than 200 miles, provided 

that no more than 6.000 kilograms are stored. 

If EPA fails to issue final regulations by March 

31, 1986, hazardous waste from small quantity 

generators automatically becomes subject to these 

minimum requirements. 

In addition, for waste shipped off-site, small 

quantity generators will be required to: 

l Include the name of the transporter on the 

manifest. 

H-6 
l Retain manifests signed by the hazardous waste 

faLIIIty for at least 3 years. {The facility ~111 be 

required to return a copy of the signed manifest to 

the generator. I 

l Sotlfv EPA at least twice a vear of any manifests 

that are.not returned by the facility. 

EducalionlAssistance Program 

Because the new RCRA provisions regulate a large 

number of companies for the first time. EPA is 

conducting an education,asslstance program to 

alert small quantity generators to their 

responslbllitles under federal law. The program is 

in two phases, paralleling the two phases in which 

the new RCRA will be implemented. 

For the provisions that must be implemented by 

August 1985. EPA will: 

l Identify potential small quantity generators 

l Provide Information-through EPA regional 

offices. states and trade associations-to help small 

quan,tlty generators determine if they are affected 

by the new regulations. This information will 

identify wastes by product trade names. chemical 

dnd bidrig names. or general descriptions; and will 

correlate the waste with the appropriate 

Depdrtment of Transportation identification 

number wherever possible. 

l Inform small quantity generators of the need to 

prepare a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest to 

accompany any waste they ship. and explain how 

and where to obtain the appropriate manltest form. 

For the final regulations-to be issued by March 

31. 1986. or that take effect automatically on April 

1. 1986. if EPA does not issue final regulations on 

time-EPA must: 

l Alert the small quantity generators to the new 

regulations and the additional requirements. 

l Provide them with complete instructions and 

industry-specific information that will help them 

in complying. 

To help in carrying out this education/assistance 

program, EPA is working closely with trade 

associations, small business organizaations. and 

state and local government organizations.

IMPORTANT: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE COMPLETING 

THE BIENNIAL HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT FORM. 

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

Who Must File 

Owners or operators of facilities that treated, stored, 

or disposed of federally regulated quantities of hazardous 

waste at any time during the 1983 calendar year must file a 

biennial report with EPA. The information requested in 

this report is required by law (Section 3004 of RCRA). 

If your facility did not treat, store, or dispose of 

regulated quantities of hazardous waste at any time during 

the 1983 calendar year, you must still file page one of the 

biennial report form to notify EPA of your non-regulated 

StatUS (pursuant to Section 3007 of RCRA). 

If your installation generated or accumulated regulated 

quantities of hazardous waste (pursuant to 40 CFR §262.34) 

during the 1983 calendar year but did not treat, store (for -- 

more than 90 days), or dispose of any portion of that waste 

on-site, you must complete the Generator Report instead of 

this Facility Report. However, if 

permit application with EPA, 

YOU filed a Part A 

you must-still file page one 

of this facility report to indicate your non-regulated status 

(see instructions for Section I). You must complete both a 

Facility and Generator Report if your installation shipped 

hazardous waste off-site (or stored for less than 90 days 

waste generated on-site) and also treated, stored (for more 

than 90 days), or disposed of hazardous waste on-site. (If 

you did not receive a copy of the generator report form, it 

may be obtained by contacting the appropriate EPA Regional 

Office.) 

When and Where To File 

The biennial report must be submitted to the appropriate 

EPA Regional Office (see list of addresses following these 

instructions) no later than March 1, 1984, and cover 

activities during the 1983 calendar year (see 48 FR 3977, 

January 28, 1983). You are subject to enforcemenTaction 

if you do not file by this date. 
What Must Be Reported 

All regulated quantities of hazardous waste that were 

treated, disposed of, or that were received for (or placed 

in) storage between January 1 and December 31, 1983 must be 

reported by individual generator on the facility form. 

The total quantity of waste in storage at your facility 

as of December 31, 1983, must be reported, by storage method, 

in Section XIII. Total Waste In Storage. 

Only wastes or portions of waste shipments that are 

regulated as either characteristic or listed hazardous 

wastes should be reported. The characteristic and listed 

hazardous wastes are identified in the Appendix that was 

sent to you along with the biennial report forms. Do not 

report any wastes that are not regulated as hazardous under 

the Federal hazardous waste regulations, even if manifested 

(e.g., PCBs, asbestos, etc. 1. 

If any or all of the waste handled by your facility 

was delisted (see 40 CFR SS260.20 and 260.22) at some time 

during the 1983 calendar year, you must still report those 

wastes for the portion of the year in which they were 

regulated. Please indicate in the comment section the line 

numbers of any such waste(s 1. 

Note: If you have not received a RCRA Permit from the USEPA 

and are located in a State that has received interim 

authorization to operate its own hazardous waste program, 

you must comply with State reporting requirements in lieu 

of the Federal requirements. Howe ve r , if you have a USEPA 

RCRA Permit, you must comply with all applicable State and 

permit requirements. You may be required by a State= 

report additional wastes or quantities beyond those that 

are Federally regulated.

8. EPA HAZARCOUS WASTE NUMBER 

For listed waste, enter the four-digit USEPA Hazardous 

Waste Number from 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart D (see Appendix) 

which identifies the waste. For unlisted wastes which 

exhibit hazardous characteristics, enter the four-digit 

USEPA Hazardous Waste Number from 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart 

C (see Appendix) which is applicable to the waste. 

If the waste contains more than one listed or unlisted 

waste, enter all of the relevant USEPA Hazardous Waste 

Numbers. Four spaces are provided for this on each waste 

line. If more space is needed, continue on the next line(s) 

and leave all other irems on that line blank, as shown by 

the example below. 

Example: 

C. HANDLING CODE 

Enter one USEPA handling code for each waste line 

entry. Where several handling steps have occurred during 

the year, report only the handling code representing the 

waste's final disposition or its status at the end of the 

reporting year, at your facility. For example, a waste 

intended for eventual land disposal that is in storage at 

the close of the calendar year should be reported as in 

storage. Conversely, a waste that was in storage at the 

beginning of the calendar year but was land disposed at 

some time during the year should be reported by its disposal 

code. If a different handling code applies to portions of 

the same waste (e.g., part of the waste is stored while the 

remainder was incinerated during the year), use a separate 

line entry for each portion, as shown in the example below. 

USEPA handling codes which must be used fcr this report are 

contained in the Table immediately following these instructions.

Claims of Business Confidentiality 

You may not withhold information from the Administrator 

or his authorized representatives because it is confidential. 

However, when the Administrator is requested to consider information confidential, he is required to treat it accordingly 

if disclosure would divulge methods or processes entitled to 

protection as trade secrets. EPA's regulations concerning 

confidentiality of business information are contained in Title 

40 of the Cohe of Federal Regulations, Part 2, Subpart 8. 

These regulations provide that a business may, if it desires, 

assert.a claim of business confidentiality cohering all or part 

of the information furnished to EPA. Section 2.203(b) tells how 

to assert a claim. The Agency will treat information covered by 

such a claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in the 

Subpart B regulations. If someone requests release of information covered by a claim of confidentiality or if the Agency 

otherwise decides to make a determination as to whether such 

information is entitled to confidential treatment, we will 

notify the business. EPA will not disclose information as to 

when a claim of confidentiality has been made except to the 

extent and in accordance with 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. If, 

however, the business does not claim confidentiality WI&n it 

furnishes information to EPA, we may make the information 

available to the public without notice to the business.
