assessed against the a?plicable bases for exclusion described in subsection (5) of this section.

(2) Department procedures. When considering, granting, or denying a petition fo= exemption or exclusion, the department Shill follow

the appropriate procedures described in WAC 173-303-91v(1).

(3) Bases for exe:npting wastes. 70 successfullypetit Lo n the

department to exeopta waste, the petitioner must denonstrate to the

satisfaction of t~e de?art:nent that:

through 173-303-103; or

(c) It can be shown, from information developed by the petitioner

through consultation with the department, that his waste does not

otherwise pose threat to public health or the environment, except

that this basis for exemption is not applicable to wastes which

exhibit any of the characteristics specified in iAC 173-303-090.

(4) Additional bases for exempting listed lIastes. In addition to

the demonstrations required bys ubsect Lons (3) (a) and (b) of this

section, for wastes listed in WAC 173-30]-081 or 17]-]03-082 the petitioner must also demonstrate to the satisfaction of the department

that his waste is not capable of posinga substantial present or

potential threat to public health or the environment when improperly

treated, stored, transported, disposed of or otherwise managed. The

following factors lIill be considered by the department IIhen assessing

sucha demonstration:

(a) Whether or not the listed waste :ontainst h e constituent or

constituents which caused it to be listed. (For the purposes of this

subsection, the constituents referred to vill include any of the dangerous waste constituents listed in WAC 113-303-9905);

(b) The nature of thet hr e a t posed by the vaste const ituent (s);

(c) The concentration of the constituent(s) in the waste;

(d) The potential of the constituent (s) or any degrad'ltion

product of the constituent (s) to migratef r oa the vaste into the environment under the types of improper na na j e ae u t considered in (~) of

this subsection;

(e) The persistence of the constituent(s)

product of the constituent (s ) ;

(f) The potential for

oroduct of the constituent(s)

and the r3.te of degradation;

(g) The degree to which the constituent(s) or d eq r ad a ti on product

of the constituent(s) bioaccumulates in ecosystems;

(h) The plausible types of improper management to ..hich the vaste

could be subjected;

(i) The quantities of the va s t e generated ati n divi du a I q e ae r a>

tion sites or ona state-wide basis. Under this factor, the de~artment will also consider whether or not tha waste is listed under w~c

173-303-0S1 asa discarded chemical product and occurs in a r e Lati v e Ly

pure form. Any waste discarded chemical product w~ich exceeds the

quantity exclusion Liait specified in WAC 173-303-081 (2) :or that

waste will not be exe~pted;

(j) The nature and severity of the public health and eu v Lr o n a e n>

tal damage that has occurred asa result of the improper Jlanag'2ment of

wastes conta ining the c o n s t i, tuent (s);

(k) Actions taken by other governmental agencies or regu~atory

(6) Bases for categorically excluding classes 0: castes. .his

subsection does not apply to any w~ste class that includes h1za=dous

waste regulated under ~O CF~ Part 261. To successfully petition :~e

department to categorically exclude a class of wastes, petitioners

must demonstrate to the s a t i s f a c t Lon of th? department bat t he ?etition or Fetitions for exclusion:

(a) Accurately de ac r i be the class of v s s t e s for which categorical

exclusion is sought and show that the class of wastes does not include

any wastes which would be regulated as hazardous waste under ~O erR

Part 261;

(b) Describe the variability or unifol:!lIity of the c I ass of wastes over time and in relation to the individual wastes that comprise the

class of waste; .

(c) Discuss the generators and their individual wastes t~at

belong to the class of vas~es and, to the extent practical, any Je~erators or Ln di vi.d u a L ''''astes that, although be Lon qi nq to the class 0:

OR BIOLOGICAL T:1EATlf3NT PROCESSES. (1) pur;>ose and ap pLi.cab i Li.t y,

This section applies to ISO facilities which will be chemically, ?hysically, or biologically t r e a t i nq dangerous waste through new processes, and which are applying for a final facility permit. The

purpose of this section is to provide permits which will allow new treatment processes nlTP) to operate and demonstrate the conditior.s of

operation. The department will nse the demonstration information

developed under permits issued pursuant to this section to specify the

final operating conditions in the final fa:ility permit. Je~or.stratioD permits will not be issued under this section to 1pplicants whose

NTP will be treating dangerous waste which is also designated as hazardous waste under ~o CF~ Part 261. Demonstration permits for trial

burns or land treat~ent will not be issued under this section; they

must be issued under .;/A;: 173-303-807 and 173-303-808 r e sp e c t i ve Ly ,

(2) Perillit issuance .. The 1epartme:lt :nay issue a NT? de no ns t r a- tion permit eithec in advance of or as 'pact of a fi~al facility permit. The demonstration permit will incluje the jemonstration and

performance standar1s of subsection (3) of this section. If issued in

iieu of the final facility permit, the ~TP demonstration permit shall

be issued as described in subsection (~) of this section~ If issued as part of the final facility pereit, the NfP demonstration per~it and

final facility permit shall be issued as 3escribed in subsection (5)

of this section. The department will deci1e which permit issuance

procedure will be followed based on information provided by the NT?

applicant in Part B of the facility permit application.

(3) Demonstration and per:ormance standards. This subsection

describes the standards that will be inclnded in a ~TP demons~ration

permit to determine and establish the effectiveness of the NT? and the

necessary final facility operating conditions. These standards will

also assure that the NTP demonstration will be perfoc~ed in a ~anner

whic~ ~ill not pose a threat to pUblic health and the environment.

(a) Deaon s t r a tion • The NT? demonstrat ion must be likely to s hov

whether or not the NTP will effectively treat the dangerous waste. If

the information provided by the applicant in his Part B application is

determined by the department to be inadequate or to provide insufficient information regarding the likelihood of effective treatment,

then a permit will not be issued under subsection (~) or (5) of this

section. At a minimum, the NTP demonstration mnst:

(i) Accurately simulate the operating :onditions of the NTP:

(ii) Specify the wastes and .aste quantities to be treated and

the duration of the demonstration: • (iii) Be likely to result in effective treatment; and

(iv) Obtain the following information jurinj the demonstration:

(A) Data on the concentrations and quantities of dangerous and

nondanserous wastes and constituents befoce and after treatment:

(3) Recommended changes in operating conditions that could provide foc more effective treatment:

(e) Identification of situations which resulted in not .eeting

the opecating con~itions, or in releases of dangecous waste or con- stituents to the environment;

(D) Data from any required aon i t or i nq equipment a nd process c on>

t r ol instruments, such as t e c pe r et ur e or pressure gauges, level indicators, waste feed rate and f Lov ae t e r s , et::.;

(E) The effectiveness of any emergency control equipment oc ~e3­

sures, when tested or implemented, such as shut off valves', spill con- tainment systems, cleanup actions, e t c , : a nd

(1) Such other i n f or a a t i cn o r data as r eq u i r e d by the de pa r t ee nt ,

(b) Perfor::Iance. The ~TP d e no ns t ra t Lon a us t be performed in a manner which will not pose a threat to public health or the envico~­

mente If the department determines, frOiD the infocmation provided cy

the applicant in his Pact B application, that t~e ~TP de~onstr1tion

woulj pose a t~ceat to public health or the environment, then a ?er~it

will not be issued under su bs e ct ion (~) or (5) of this section. :h2

NT? de~onstration ~ill be considered to pose a threat if it ~~nnot

=o~ply vith the performance standards of WA: 173-30)-430(3).

(4) Demonstration permit only. If the depart:nent finds that tile

Part 8 application does not contain enough infor1ation regarding t~a

NTP to establish the full final facility operating conditions, ~~en

the department vill issae a demonstration permit 0n~y. This p~r~it

vill be issued in accordance .ith the decision-making proced~~es of ~~C 173-303-940, and will cover only the NT? demonstration. The ~~ra­

:ion of the demonstration, and a?plicable operating ~onditions and

performance standards will be s~ecified in the per1i~. ~he department

may extend the demonstration as a modification (or 1inor modification,

if applicable) to the permit.

Within thirty days of the end of the iemonstration, tbe owner/

operator shall ?r07ide to the department the in:or~ation obtained

under subsection (2) (a) (iv) of this section, and a revised ?an. 3

application covering any necessary changes or new operating conditions. Based on the adequacy of the information and the revised Part

B application, the depart1ent .ill either:

(a) Issue a final facility oe r a i t under \ldC 173-303-805, if the

available information is sUffici~nt to establish all necessary Jpe:ating conditions; or (b) Issue a phased permit under subsection (5) of this s ec t i o n ,

if the available information is nearly sufficient to establish the

necessary operating conditions; or .

(C) Deny the final facility permit under WAC 17]-30)-840, i f the

available information indicates that the NTP cannot operate .ithout ~osing a threat to public health or the environment.

(5) Phased permit. If the department finds that the Part B

application contains substantial information regarding the ~T~ that

would be sufficient to esta~lish nearly all final operating ~onditions, then the department may issue a two-phase final facility permit. This phased permit will be issued in the sa~e manner as a =inal

facility permit uncer ~AC 173-303-806, except tha~ it shall contain a first phase for a NT? demonstration, and a se c oad phase (to become

effective as described in (b) of this subsection) for establishing the

NT? facility operating conditions.

(a) First phase. The department will establish, as requirements

in the first phase of the permit, conditions for conducting the NT?

demonstration. The NT? demonstration may b~ conducted, if approved by

the department, as an actual trial run of the N~? facility itself.

The demonstration conditions will include d~sign and operating parameters, demonstration duration, monitoring procedures, information to be

::ollected· pursuant to sub s ec t i o n (2) (a) (iv) of this section, perform- ance standards, and such other ~onditions deemed appropriate by the

de pa r t ee n t ,

Upon completion of the first phase, th~ owner/operator must submit to the department a certification, signed by a person authorized

to sign a permit application or report under WAC 173-303-910(12), that

the ~TP demonstration has been carried out in accordance with the conditions specified in the first phase of the permit. T~e owner/operator must also submit a report containing all information and data collecte~ and identifying any significant problems encountered during

the demonstration. The owner/operator shall not i~p~ement the second

phase of his permit until after the certification and report have been

submitted to the department, and he has been notified by the depart-

:nent in accordance with (b) of this subsection that the second ph ase of his permit is effective.

(b) Second phase. The d e pa r t a e nt will e s t a bl i sb , as require:nents

in the second phase of the per1it, final operating conditions for the

NT? facility. These conditions will, to the maxi~~m extent possible

given the information available and provided in the Part B aoolication, include all applicable r e q ui r e ne nt s ns c e s sa r y t o comply vlt~ t he

final facility s ca nd ar ds of t h i s chapter (Ln c Lu d i nq, bu t not Li a i t e d

to, 'HC 173-303-60") t b r ou q n 173-303-670 and 173-303-806). The second

phase s~all also identify thOSE operating condition3 .~ich are reasonably expected ta cha~]e as 1 result of information cevelopeJ d~=ing

conditions are e~pected to change. The second phase shall also specify ~hat criteria, i: met, will result in a need to ter~inate the permit or to make a ~ajor modification to the permit under ~1C 173-303-

830 because of new information developed during the first phase.

Opon completion of the first phase, the de?art~ent will review

the certification and report submitted pursuant to (a) of this subsection. Based on the new information providej in the certification and

report, the deoartment v i L], either:

(i) Notif~ the owner/operator that the second phase of his permit

is effective immediately, if the nell information indicates that the

second phase is adequate and no changes are necessary; or (ii) Notify the owner/open. tor that the second phase of his permit will not be effective until changes to the second phase are ~ade,

if the nell information indicates that the requirements of the second

phase must be changed.

(A) If the necessary changes have already been identified in the

second phase prior to per~it issuance and the changes are no g"eater

in extent than already 'identified in the second phase, then the

department shall im~ediately make the appropriate changes to the

requirements in the second phase of the permit. Opon completing the

changes, the department shall notify the ollner/ope:ator of the changes ~nd that, as soon as the owner/operator has included the nell requirements into his facility operations, the second phase of his per~it is

effective.

(B) If the necessary changes are not already identified, or are greater than the extent specified ~n the second phase so that the

changes cannot be included as provided in (b) (ii) (Al of this subsection, or if the necessary changes meet the criteria already specified

in the second phase as being cause for major modification of the permit, then the departme~t will proceed to modify t~e permit in accord- ance with WAC 173-303-830(3). The second phase of the permit ~ill ~e

effective only after the permit modifications have been made and the

department has notified thp. owner/operator that his permit is effective; or

(iii) Notify the ollner/operator that the second phasellill not be

effective and that his, permit will be terminated, if the new information indicates radical problems with the NTP that ~annot be addressed

through a permit modification, or if the ne~ information meets the

criteria already specified in the second ph~se as being cause for termination of the permit. Permit termination ~ill proceed in accordance ~ith WAC 173-303-830 (5).
