INTRODUCTION

What doesthis book do?

This book provides you with hints, worksheets,

definitions, and codes that will help you complete

the Annual Report forms. Refer to this book as

you complete the forms.

Howto usethis book

This book, Book 2: Guidebook and Codes, is

designed to work in conjunction with Book 1:

Forms and Instructions.

Book I provides you with all ofthe basic information that you need to decide whether you are

required to complete these forms. It also contains

the forms themselves and detailed instructions on

how to complete them.

Book 2 provides more in-depth information that

you might need to complete the forms. Specifically, it provides information in four areas:

• Helpful Hints (pages 2-10)

The Helpful Hints section provides guidance on

specific issues that you may run across in completing the forms. For example, it has a section

on "What is a dangerous waste" that will help you

determine whether you are handling a dangerous

waste that you must report; and a section on

"Defining generator status".

• Worksheets (pages 11-22)

The Worksheets provide specific guidance on

completing certain aspects ofthe forms.

Worksheet #3 addresses how to report lab packs

in the Annual Report forms. Worksheet #4

explains how to identify a dangerous waste

management system. Worksheet #5 explains how

generators may obtain recycling credits.

Worksheet #6 explains how TSDRs that hold

storage permits should report 'extended storage.

• Definitions (pages 23-28)

In completing the forms, you may run across a

number of words or terms that you do not recognize or words that have a specific meaning for the

purpose ofthese forms. These terms are explained in the Definitions section of this book.

• Codes (pages 29-46)

On certain forms, you will be asked to enter a

code describing, for example, the form of the

waste you generated or how that waste was

managed. The Codes section ofthis book provides all of the codes you will need for the

purpose offilling out these forms.

• QELs (pages 47-49)

You may need to know the quantity exclusion

limits (QELs) of your dangerous wastes to

determine your generator status. See Worksheet

#1 on page 7 ofBook 1: Forms and Instructions.

NOTE: This book was prepared to provide

general guidance to help you prepare your

Annual Reportforms. The information is not

designed to provide strict legal interpretations of

the terms and requirements contained in the

forms, and is not legally binding. Refer to

Chapter 173-303 WACfor precise legal wording

and direction on designating your dangerous

waste and complying with dangerous waste

regulatory requirements.

Book 2: Guidebook and Codes 1
HELPFUL HINTS

#1:What is a dangerous waste?

Refer to WAC 173-303-070 for a discussion of

how to determine whether your waste is a dangerous waste. To designate your waste as a dangerous waste, you must follow a series of procedures, as described generally below and reference

Chapter 173-303 WAC.

Follow the five steps below to designate your

waste.

1. Discarded Chemical Products List: First,

determine whether your waste is a discarded

chemical product, as explained in WAC 173-303-

081. All chemicals that, when discarded, constitute a dangerous waste are listed in WAC 173-

303-9903. Use this list to locate your waste and to

identify the appropriate waste code (e.g. P023 or

UOO 1) to assign to your waste.

2. Dangerous Waste Sources List: Ifyour waste

appears on the Dangerous Waste Sources List, or if

it results from the management of one ofthe

wastes on that list, then you must designate the

waste as a dangerous waste. WAC 173-303-082

explains how to designate a waste based on its

source. The full list ofspecific sources (e.g.,

dissolved air flotation float from the primary

petroleum refining industry) and non-specific

sources (e.g., spent solvents from degreasing) is

provided in WAC 173-303-9904. Use this list to

locate your waste and to identify the appropriate

waste code (e.g., FOOl, K048 or WOOl) to assign

to your waste.

3. Characteristic Dangerous Wastes: Ecology

requires that you evaluate your waste against four

general characteristics:

• ignitability (DOO1)

• corrosivity (D002, WSC2)

• reactivity (D003)

• toxicity - TCLP (D004 - D043)

WAC 173-303-090 provides guidance on how to

evaluate your waste for each of these four characteristics. It also provides the appropriate waste

codes (e.g., DOOl, DOI8) to assign to your waste

if it meets any ofthe characteristics.

c

4. Dangerous Waste Criteria: In addition to listed

and characteristic wastes, there are two state

criteria against which wastes may be evaluated:

• toxicity (WTOl, WT02)

• persistence (WPOl, WP02, WP03)

The methods for determining if a solid waste is a

dangerous waste by these criteria are described in

WAC 173-303-100.

If Ecology has reason to believe that the waste

would be designated as dangerous waste (DW) or

extremely hazardous waste (EHW)by the dangerous waste lists, characteristics, or criteria, or that

it was improperly designated, you may be required to test your waste.

5. DWIEHW Designation of Dangerous Waste:

In the course of designating your waste through

these procedures, you must determine whether the

waste is a dangerous waste (DW) or is an ex- C

tremely hazardous waste (EHW). Generators and

TSDR facilities are required to designate the

wastes they generate and/or manage as DW or

EHW. The EHW designation affects how the

waste may be handled.

The methods for determining if a dangerous waste

is DW or EHW are described in WAC 173-303-

081,082,090, 100, 104 and 180. Ifwaste codes

WLO1, WPO1, WP03 or WTO1 apply to your

waste, it will designate as EHW. Otherwise, your

waste designates as DW.

#2: What is aWashington state-only

dangerous waste?

A Washington state-only dangerous waste is a

dangerous waste that is regulated by the State of

Washington (Dangerous Waste Regulations), not

by the federal EPA (RCRARegulations).

The following waste codes identify Washington

state-only dangerous wastes. Ifthe dangerous

waste you generate designates with one or more

ofthese waste codes, you should list the code( s)

in questionA-4 ofthe GM Form. If you are a

TSDR and the waste you receive designates with

one or more ofthese waste codes, you should list

the code(s) in question 4 ofthe WR Form.

The following generic dangerous waste codes, per

WAC 173-303-082,090, 100, 104, 180, and 9904

are considered to be Washington state-only

dangerous waste:

WLO1 lab pack waste, EHW*

WL02 lab pack waste, DW*

WTO 1 toxic dangerous waste, EHW

WT02 toxic dangerous waste, DW

WPO1 persistent dangerous wastes/halogenated

organic compounds, EHW

WP02 persistent dangerous wastes/halogenated

* If you have a labpack waste see page 11.

#3: What dangerous wastes do I

"count" as being generated for

the purposes of completing

these forms?

To complete the Annual Report forms, you must

be able to count the wastes you have generated.

Proper counting will ensure that (1) you correctly

identify your generator status (see Helpful Hint

#5) for purposes of complying with regulatory

requirements as well as completing the Annual

Report forms; and (2) that you report your waste

quantities accurately on the forms.

Ecology has developed guidance on how to count

generation and recycling of dangerous waste. The

guidance is intended to help generators in determining their appropriate generator status for

regulatory compliance purposes and for completing the Annual Report forms. To request Publication #98-414, Counting Dangerous Waste Under

the Dangerous Waste Regulations, please call

Ecology at 1-800-874-2022 (within state) or (360)

407-6170.

#4: Quantity Exclusion Limits (QELs)

The Quantity Exclusion Limit (QEL) of a waste is

the generation quantity per batch or per month at

which the waste becomes regulated as a dangerous waste. This means that the QEL determines

whether the waste is subject to the handling

provisions that apply to Small Quantity Generators (SQGs), Medium Quantity Generators

(MQGs), or Large Quantity Generators (LQGs).

In this manner, the QELs ofthe wastes you

generate determine your generator status-that is,

whether you are an SQG, MQG, or LQG. SQGs

are those generators who never exceed the QEI:;--

for the wastes that they generate and are regulated

by a set of reduced dangerous waste regulations.

There are two QELs: 220 pounds per batch or per

month for most dangerous wastes, and 2.2 pounds

per batch or per month for certain other dangerous wastes.

To determine whether the waste quantities you • Large Quantity Generator (LQG)

Example 2: You generated I pound ofF020

waste, which has a QEL of 2.2 pounds, and 250

pounds of a FOOl waste, which has a QEL of 220

pounds. Thus, you did NOT exceed the QEL of

the F020 waste, but you DID exceed the QEL for

the FOOl waste. Because you exceeded the QEL

for one waste, ALL of your wastes are now

regulated, both the F020 waste AND the FOO 1

waste, as MQG waste.

Example 3: At the beginning ofthe month, you

generated and sent off-site for management 100

pounds of FOOl waste, with a QEL of220 pounds.

Later that month, you generated and sent off-site

another 150 pounds ofthe FOO 1 waste. Thus,

during the month you generated 250 pounds of

FOOl waste. That 250 pounds exceeds the 220

pounds QEL. As a result, you are a Medium

Quantity Generator for that month.

Example 4: You generated 150 pounds of FOOl

waste during the month. You had already accumulated on-site 80 pounds of FOO 1 waste. Thus, the

total amount of dangerous waste on-site was 230

pounds. As a result, you are a SQG for that month

since your generation was less than 220 lbs. and

your accumulation was less then 2,200 lbs.

#6: Converting quantities tolfrom

pounds

In order to determine whether you are an LQG,

MQG, or SQG, you must be able to measure your

waste generation in pounds. The following

conversions should help you translate between,

for example, gallons and pounds of waste generated.

• Converting TO pounds FROM another unit of

measure

From SHORT TONS:

Multiply quantity by 2,000. (1 short ton = 2,000

pounds)

For example, if you generated 3 short tons of

dangerous waste, multiply this quantity by 2,000.

3 x 2,000 = 6,000 pounds of dangerous waste

generated.

From METRIC TONS:

Multiply quantity by 2,200. (l metric ton = 2,200

pounds)

For example, if you generated 5 metric tons of

dangerous waste, multiply this quantity by 2,200.

5 x 2,200 = 11,000 pounds of dangerous waste

generated.

From GALLONS:

• If you do not know the density:

Assume the waste has the density ofwater.

Multiply the quantity by 8.34. (1 gallon water =

8.34 pounds)

For example, if you generated 50 gallons of

wastewater (and you do not know the density of

the waste), multiply the quantity by 8.34.

50 x 8.34 = 417 pounds of dangerous waste generated.

• If density is measured in Ibs/gal:

Multiply the quantity by the density.

For example, if you generated 50 gallons of

wastewater with a density of 7.9 lbs/gal, multiply

the quantity. by 7.9.

50 x 7.9 = 395 pounds of dangerous waste generated.

• If density is measured by specific gravity:

Multiply the quantity by 8.34. Then multiply this

product by the specific gravity.

For example, if you generated 50 gallons of

wastewater with a specific gravity of 1.2, first

multiply the quantity by 8.34, then multiply this

product by 1.2.

50 x 8.34 = 417; 417 x 1.2 = 500.4 pounds of dangerous waste generated.

soil.

Non-recurrent or periodic waste generation means

the generation ofwaste from non-routine events

such as the cleanup ofspills or the decommissioning of equipment. This includes remediationderived generation, such as generation resulting

from a Superfund remedial action, RCRA closure

of a dangerous waste management unit. Nonrecurrent waste is not associated with ongoing,

day-to-day, or routine site operations.

associated with the generation ofthis waste

stream?" and question A-9, "What is the origin of

this waste stream?"

• Ifthe density is measured by specific gravity:

• If you do not know the density:

1. Multiply the specific gravity by 8.34.

2. Divide the waste quantity by this product.

To LITERS:

For example, if you generated 500 pounds of

waste, divide this quantity by 2.19.

500.;- 2.19 = 228.31 liters of dangerous waste

generated.

For example, if you generated 450 pounds of

waste with a specific gravity of 1.2, first multiply

1.2 by 8.34, then divide 450 by this product.

1.2 x 8.34 = 10.01; 450.;- 10.01 =44.95 gallons of

dangerous waste generated.

• If density is measured in Ibs/liter:

1. Multiply the specific gravity by 2.19.

2. Divide the waste quantity by this product.

Assume the waste has the density of water.

Divide the quantity by 2.19.

Divide the quantity by the density.

• Ifthe density is measured by specific gravity:

For example, if you generated 500 pounds of

Dangerous Waste Annual Report

#8: Reporting international

shipments

If you send dangerous waste to or receive dangerou~ waste from a foreign country, you are required to report the activity in these forms.

Waste Exported to Foreign Countries: Note

first that all generators who export RCRAregulated hazardous waste to a foreign country

must first obtain federal approval of the export

by following the requirements of 40 CFR Part

262 Subpart E, Exports of Hazardous Waste.

Generators who export dangerous wastes regulated only by the State of Washington (i.e., wastes

that have been assigned only Washington stateonly waste codes, as described in Helpful Hint #2

on pag~ 3) are not required to follow the Subpart

E requirements. For more information on the

federal export requirements, contact the EPA

RCRA Hotline at 1-800-424-9346.

To report all shipments of dangerous wastes to

foreign countries in the Annual Report, use the

GM Form and the 01 Form. On the GM Form,

complete Section A, Section C, and questions B-1

through B-3 as you would for any other waste

strean: that you generated and managed during the

rep?~mg year. In question B-4, ifthe foreign

facility has a RCRA Site ill Number, use that .

num.ber as ~?u would for any other facility. Ifthe

foreign facility does not have an RCRA Site ID

Number, use the letters "FC" followed by the

name ofthe destination country (e.g.,

FCCANADA, FCMEXICO). In Section C,

Comments, identify the name ofthe facility in

that foreign country to which you shipped the

wast~ stream. On the 01 Form, in the space

provided for the RCRA Site ID Number, specify

the "FC" designation (e.g., FCCANADA) and

provide the complete name and address information for the associated foreign facility.

If you shipped the waste stream to more than one

facility within a single foreign country, number

~our :'FC" facilities sequentially (e.g., you would

identify three facilities in Canada as

FCCANADA1, FCCANADA2, and

FCCANADA3). In Section D, Comments, list the

"FC" designations and provide the facility name

for each designation (e.g., enter "FCCANADAI =

ACME Recycling; FCCANADA2 = Canuck

Met~ls;" etc.). On the 01 Form, in the space

provided for the RCRA Site ID Number, specify

the "~C" designation (e.g., FCCANADA2) and

provide the complete name and address information for that foreign facility.

If you are an LQG you must also provide manifest

information in question B-5. Use each ofthe

"FC" designations listed in question B-4.i in lieu

ofthe RCRA Site ID Number requested in

question B-5.iv. Identify all shipments associated

with the export ofthe waste stream to the designated foreign facilities.

Waste Imported from Foreign Countries: No

special federal notification is required for the

i~port of dangerous wastes from foreign countries.

Use .the WR Form and the 01 Form to report all

re.celpts of dangerous waste from foreign countnes. On the WR Form, complete all questions,

except for question 9.iv, as you would for any

other waste received. For question 9.iv, if the

foreign site of origin has a RCRA Site ill Number, use that number as you would for any other

site. Ifthe foreign site does not have a RCRA Site

ID Number, enter the letters "FC" followed by the

name ofthe country of origin (e.g., FCCANADA,

FCMEXICO). In question 10. Comments

provide the name of the foreign site. On the 01

Form, in the space provided for the RCRA Site ill

Number, specify the "FC" designation (e.g.,

"FCCANADA") and provide the complete name

and address information for that foreign site.

If you received the waste stream from more than

one site within a single foreign country, number

the "FC" entries sequentially (e.g., you would

identify three sites in Canada as FCCANADAI

FCCANADA2, FCCANADA3). In question 10:

Comments, list the "FC" designations and

provide the site name for each designation (e.g.,

enter "FCCANADA1 = ACME Plant:

#10: Excluded Categories ofWaste

Universal Waste (WAC 173-303-573): Wastes

managed under the Universal Waste Rule do not

count toward generator status and are not reported

on your dangerous waste annual reports. These

include:

Ecology revised the management requirements for

special waste in 1995. Ifsafely managed, special

waste are conditionally excluded from the Dangerous Waste Regulations as explained in WAC

173-303-073. Ecology has developed a Focus

Sheet to help you understand the management

requirements ofspecial waste. To request Publication #96-1254-HWTR, please call Ecology at 1-

800-874-2022 (within state) or (360) 407-6170.

Generators can manage special waste as fully

regulated dangerous waste or they can choose to

follow the conditional exclusions of WAC 173-

303-073. To take advantage ofthis conditional

exclusion, generators must dispose oftheir waste

in hazardous waste or municipal solid waste

landfills, recycle the waste on- or off-site, or treat

the waste in a way that is consistent with

Ecology's treatment-by-generator guidance.

Generator annual reporting ofspecial waste is

required. Special waste that is shipped off-site to

landfills should be reported on GM and 01 forms

in the same manner as waste being sent off-site to

TSDR's. Include in the Comment Section on the

GM Form "Special Waste."

If you sent special waste to a landfil1 that does

have a RCRA Site ID Number, enter

SWFACILITYin place ofthe TSDR ID Number

in questions B4 and B5 on the GM form. On the

01 form, again use SWFACILITY in place ofthe

ID Number, enter in name and address information for the landfil1, and check TSDR as the

Handler Type.

If you sent special waste to multiple landfil1s

without RCRA Site ID Number, add sequential

numbers to your SWFACILITY entries on both

the GM and 01 Forms (i.e. SWFACILITY01,

SWFACILITY02, SWFACILITY03).

Batteries: Al1 batteries that designate as

hazardous waste should be managed as

universal waste. Spent lead-acid batteries

may continue to be managed under the

existing lead-acid battery exemption ofWAC

173-303-520.

Mercury containing thermostats: A mercury containing thermostat is a temperature

control device that contains metal1ic mercury

in an ampule attached to a bimetal sensing

element. This does not include all mercury

switches. Ampules removed from these

thermostats can also be managed under the

universal waste requirements. Other types of

mercury switches must be managed according to al1 applicable dangerous waste requirements.

In June 2000, Ecology added lamps that are

dangerous waste to the Universal Waste Rule.

Lamps: Any type of high or low pressure

bulb or tube portion of an electric lighting

device that generates light through the

discharge of electricity either directly or

indirectly as radiant energy. Universal waste

lamps include, but are not limited to fluorescent, mercury vapor, metal halide, highpressure sodium and neon. As a reference, it

may be assumed that four, four-foot, one-inch

diameter unbroken fluorescent tubes are

equal to 2.2 pounds of weight.

Dangerous Waste Annual Report

Permit-by-Rule (PBR): Wastes managed

immediately upon generation in on-site PBR units

are not counted toward generator status and are

not reported on the Annual Dangerous Waste

Report. The key term is immediate, the waste

must directly enter a PBR unit as soon as it is

generated. There is no temporary storage or

accumaltion ofwaste allowed between the point

of generation and the PBR unit. PBR Units are

limited to wastewater treatment units, elementary

neutralization units, and totally enclosed treatment units.

Recycling without prior storage or

accumulation: Waste recycled on-site, without

being stored or accumulated prior to recycling in

a process subject to WAC 173-303-120(4)(a) of

the Dangerous Waste Regulations, are not

counted toward generator status and not reported

on the Annual Dangerous Waste Report. As soon

as the waste is generated, it immediately enters

the recycling unit. Wastes cannot be carried in

buckets, between the point of generation.

Ecology.

What does this worksheet help me

do?

This worksheet will help you to report:

• the generation, management, or shipment oflab

packs on the GM form; and

• the receipt of lab packs on the WR form.

What are lab packs?

Lab packs are small containers ofstate and/or

federal dangerous waste in overpacked drums. If

you are not reporting a Jab packed waste do not

WORKSHEET #4 C

IDENTIFYING A DANGEROUS WASTE

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

This Worksheet isfor your use only. Do

NOT submit this Worksheet to Ecology.

What does this worksheet help me do?

This worksheet will help you to complete the

following forms:

• GM Form, for generators who manage their

dangerous waste on-site; -

• WR Form, for TSDRs that receive dangerous

waste from off-site for treatment, disposal, or

recycling.

What is a dangerous waste

management system? . For purposes of completmg these forms, a management system is defined by EPA as a process or

series of processes that act together to perform a

single operation on a dangerous waste stream. A

system may consist of a number of units, or

pieces of equipment-e.g., individual tanks,

surface impoundments, or distillation systems.

The system begins at the process unit where a

dangerous waste stream first enters the waste

management vessels and includes all other

process units downstream from the point of entry

except for the following:

• incineration/thermal treatment;

• underground injection;

• landfills;

• land treatment/application/farming;

• surface impoundment to be closed as a landfill;

and

• other disposal.

Each of the six processes listed above should

always be identified as its own individual management system.

Howdo I identify a dangerous waste

management system?

As you identify a dangerous waste management

system, in most cases, you will note that dangerous waste should only be able to enter the system

at one point. Thus, wherever you identify a point

of entry, the process units from that point on, to

the point of disposal or discharge, together

constitute a unique management system. In some

circumstances, however, dangerous wastes might

feed into two tanks that separately conduct the

same treatment process in parallel (e.g., two

chromium reduction tanks that lead to common

chemical precipitation and clarification/settling

units, followed by discharge under NPDES permit 0

and the landfill of a sludge). In such a circumstance, the two chromium reduction tanks would

be considered a single dangerous waste management system: chromium reduction followed by

chemical precipitation. (system code M071)

Howdo I assign a system codeto

the dangerous waste management

system?

You should classify the system by the system

code (system codes are listed on pages 45-46) that

best indicates the primary process within the

system or the primary operation that the system

performs. For example:

• A system to remove dissolved metals from

wastewater typically includes equalization, pH

adjustment, chemical precipitation, flocculation, clarification/settling, and dewatering of

the sludge removed from the bottom of the

clarifier. Chemical precipitation best identifies the primary purpose ofthe treatment

system-that is, to remove metals from the

wastewater. Therefore, categorize the system Q

under system code Mon for chemical precipitation.

12 Book 2: Guidebook and Codes
rff

~.

WORKSHEET #4

• A system consists of chromium reduction,

chemical precipitation, clarification/settling,

and a sludge dewatering filter press. The

system type for this unit is chromium reduction

followed by chemical precipitation, system

code M071, because the primary purpose ofthe

process system is the treatment and removal of

chromium wastes.

• A system consists of a cyanide oxidation

process, followed by chemical precipitation of

metals, clarification/settling, and dewatering in

a filter press. The system type is cyanide

oxidation followed by chemical precipitation,

system code M074, since the primary purpose

ofthe process system is to destroy cyanide

wastes and remove metals from that waste.

• A system for general metal-containing waste

consists of chemical precipitation of metals,

clarification/settling, and sludge dewatering in

a filter press. The system type is chemical

precipitation, system code MOn.

Reporting storageltransfer activity

Waste streams sent off-site or received from offsite for storage/transfer, as defined on page 27,

should always be assigned system code M 141.

On the GM Form, a generator who sends a waste

stream off-site to a facility, such as a broker, that

conducts storage/transfer activity on the waste

will report system code M141 as the off-site

management type, under question B-4.

On the WR Form, a TSDR that receives waste

from off-site for storage/transfer activity will

report system code M141 under question 9.

Then, on the GM Form, the TSDR will report the

"generation" ofthat waste stream when it is

shipped off-site for management. The facility will

indicate that the waste being "generated" is a

storage/transfer waste by selecting source code

A80 under question A-7, and the origin code "iv"

under question A-9.

WORKSHEET #5

RECYCLING CREDIT

This Worksheet isfor your use only.

Do NOT submit this Worksheet to

Ecology.

What are recycling credits?

Recycling credits refer to the percentage of your

recurrent waste that was reclaimed in an off-site

recycling process performed by a TSDR facility.

Recycling credits reduce the amount of your waste

that Ecology will use to calculate whether you

must prepare a Pollution Prevention Plan and/or

pay a Pollution Prevention Planning Fee.

Who can obtain the recycling credit?

You qualify for recycling credits if in the reportmg year:

• you generated 2,640 pounds or more of

recurrent waste and the dangerous waste

residuals of recurrent waste (rather than nonrecurrent waste, defined on page 23); and

• you sent all or part of this waste off-site to a

TSDR facility for recycling.

c

If you generated at least 2,640 pounds ofrecurrent waste in a year, you meet the threshold for

preparing a Pollution Prevention Plan, as per

WAC 173-307-010. You may also be required to

pay a Pollution Prevention Planning Fee based on

the amount ofrecurrent waste you generated.

Recycling credits, however, are deducted from

the amount of waste that Ecology uses to calculate whether you must prepare a Pollution Prevention Plan and/or the total Pollution Prevention

Planning Fee you must pay. This deduction may

provide you one ofthe following benefits:

• recycling credits may reduce the Pollution

Prevention count enough so that you fall below

the 2,640-pound Pollution Prevention Plan

threshold and thus do not have to prepare a 0

Pollution Prevention Plan or pay the associated

Pollution Prevention Planning Fee; or

• recycling credits, even if they do not drop you

below the 2,640-pound Pollution Prevention

Plan threshold, may still reduce the total ofthe

Pollution Prevention Planning Fee that you are

required to pay.

If you recycled your waste on-site, you will automatically get the equivalent ofrecycling credits. You

should, however, obtain guidance from Ecology on

how to count the quantity of dangerous waste that

you generate versus the quantity that is recycled. To

request Publication # 98-414, Counting Dangerous

Waste under the Dangerous Waste Regulations,

please call Ecology at 1-800-874-2022 (within state)

360-407-6170.

How do recycling credits work?

Recycling credits are applied against the total

amount of your recurrent waste generation when

Ecology calculates whether you must prepare a

Pollution Prevention Plan and/or pay the Pollution Prevention Planning F'ee._

How do I obtain the recycling credit?

If you sent a recurrent waste stream off-site to

receive one ofthe qualifying types of "recycling"

management (see below, "What type of management is considered 'recycling'?"), you must

contact your TSDR facility to learn what percentage of your waste stream was recycled.

You may simply telephone the TSDR facility and

ask them to provide you written documentation,

in whatever format the TSDR facility finds most

convenient, attesting to the percentage of your

waste stream that was recycled. The TSDR

facility must include in the documentation the

identification of the waste stream recycled (by o

14 Book 2: Guidebook and Codes
WORKSHEET #5

waste description and waste form), the system

code (pages 45-46 in this book) indicating the

type of management the waste received, and

the percentage recycled during the reporting

year. An authorized representative of the

TSDR facility must sign and date the documentation provided to you.

Use the information the TSDR facility provides

you to complete your GM Form for the waste

stream in question. In question B-4iv, enter the

percent ofthe waste stream that was recycled by

the specific TSDR facility. Use whole numbers,

(i.e., if 20 percent ofthe waste was recycled,

enter "20," not ".20"). Round offfractions, as two

digits is the maxium allowable value. Do NOT

enter the % symbol. Leave this question blank if

no credit is being claimed (do not enter "0" or

"x"), All claims for 100 per cent will be denied,

as all recycling processes leave residue.

You must attach this documentation, or a copy

of it, to the end of the Annual Report. Reporters submitting electronically must attach this

documentation to their Verification Form.

Claims for recycling credit without attached

documentation will be denied.

• You may apply the 30 percent credit only to

the amount of waste that went to Facility B

for management.

What type of management is

considered "recycling"?

Only certain types of management constitute

"recycling" for purposes of obtaining the recycling credit. The qualifying management types are

listed below, and continued on the following

page, by system code (see pages 45-46 in this

book for a complete listing of management

system codes). Also provided are examples of

how system codes may be assigned to common

off-site recycling activities.

• You sent the waste stream in question to two

different TSDR facilities during the reporting

year. Both facilities performed some type of

Example: You generate a metal-bearing sludge,

which is dried to produce a filtercake. You send

the filtercake off-site to a metal smelter for metals

WORKSHEET #6

EXTENDED STORAGE

(Only for TSDRs that holdRCRA storage permits)

This Worksheet isfor your use only.

Do NOT submit this Worksheet to

Ecology.

All facilities that hold a RCRA storage permit

should review this worksheet before completing

their Annual Report forms. If you do not hold a

RCRA storage permit, do NOT read this worksheet.

Background

Ecology has, recognized a need for information on

dangerous wastes placed into storage for an extended period oftime. The agency wishes to

understand the types of dangerous waste being

placed into long-term storage, the duration ofthe

storage activity, and the ultimate disposition ofthe

waste after storage. As a result, Ecology has developed this guidance to direct those facilities conducting extended storage ofdangerous wastes on how

to report that activity to Ecology in the Dangerous

Waste Annual Report forms.

What is extended storage?

Ecology has developed a definition of extended

storage solely for purposes ofreporting dangerous

waste generation and management activities in the

context ofthe Annual Report forms. The definition

is not intended to serve any other regulatory purpose, nor does it alter any definitions set forth in

Chapter 173-303 WAC. The defmition is as follows:

Extended storage occurs when a TSDR generates

or receives from off-site a dangerous waste that is

then placed into on-site permitted storage during the

current reporting year for a period oftime that will

extend beyond the next reporting year. In other

words, extended storage addresses those wastes that

would enter storage and remain in storage through a

minimum oftwo reporting cycles (i.e., the waste

enters storage during the current reporting year and

does not emerge during the next reporting year).

Book 2: Guidebook and Codes

Example: A TSDR places a dangerous waste into

on-site permitted storage during the current (e.g.,

2000) reporting year and anticipates that the waste

will remain in storage throughout the next reporting

year, (e.g., 2001), so the earliest time that the waste

would emerge from storage is sometime during the

2002 reporting year. In this example, the waste will

have been in permitted storage for a minimum of

two reporting cycles (entering in 2000 and continuing in 200 I). This constitutes extended storage.

This definition does not address routine accumulation activities by generators. Ecology recognizes that

generators may accumulate their wastes for a period

oftime until they have an adequate amount to

warrant treatment/disposal/recycling ofthe bulked

waste. This accumulation period may begin during

one reporting year and conclude during the following year. In some circumstances, such accumulation

may take place in an area permitted for storage.

Such accumulation is perfectly acceptable and does

not constitute "extended storage." Generators

conducting such accumulation should report those

activities as described in the Annual Report forms:

the accumulated wastes should be reported when

they are put into on-site treatment, disposal, recycling systems, or when they are sent off-site.

If, however, wastes are being stored over an extended period oftime, as described by the definition

above, the TSDR conducting the extended storage

should report that activity in the current Annual

Report forms-i.e., in the Annual Report for the

reporting year during which the extended storage

begins. Ecology recognizes that determining

whether a storage activity will trigger the defmition

of extended storage is, to some extent, a judgment

call. TSDRs are asked to use their best judgment in

reporting to Ecology. If, for example, the TSDR

determines after the fact that waste that had been in

storage actually became "extended storage", then the

TSDR should contact Ecology at (800) 874-2022

(within state) (360) 407-6170 for instructions on

correcting the information in the Annual Report(s)

already filed.

17
Dangerous Waste Annual Report

c

TSDRs that generate dangerous waste that is

placed into extended storage should review the

section below, "Reporting Extended Storage in

the GM Form." TSDRs that receive dangerous

waste from off-site that they place into extended

storage should review the section, "Reporting

Extended Storage in the WR Form."

Before proceeding, all TSDRs should note that

wastes placed into extended storage should be

defined as unique waste streams. That is, if, for

example, a TSDR receives a waste stream, some

of which it treats and some of which it places into

extended storage, then the TSDR should actually

define that waste stream as two separate waste

streams on two separate WR Forms. On the first

WR Form, the TSDR would report receiving the

waste stream and would report the management

ofthe waste stream with the system code that

reflects the type oftreatment provided. On the

second WR Form, the TSDR would report

receiving that same waste stream, but the system

code reported would be M141, indicating that the

waste was received for "storage/ transfer". By

keeping managed wastes separate from wastes

placed in extended storage, the TSDR and Ecology will be better able to track those wastes that

enter, and eventually exit, extended storage.

WORKSHEET #7b

ON-SITE MANAGEMENT:

HOW TO REPORT"

This Worksheet isfor your use only.

Do NOT submit this Worksheet to

Ecology.

What is on-site management?

On-site management of a waste stream is the

treatment, storage, disposal and recycling of a

dangerous waste at the site of generation. This

includes permit-by-rule and treatment-by-generator activities as well as common recycling activities such as distillation and solvent extraction.

Howmany GMforms do I need to fill

out?

In most cases reporting on-site management of a

waste stream requires two OM forms. One OM

~e DEFINITIONS

NOTE: The following definitions have been prepared

to assist you in understanding terms and concepts for

purposes ofcompletingAnnualReportforms only. These

definitions are not intended to replace or override regulatory definitions provided in Chapter 173-303 WAC.

To understand your regulatory requirements, refer to

Chapter 173-303 WAC and the definitions therein.

Accumulation: a generator may accumulate dangerous waste for a short period oftime before shipping

it off-site. The waste must be accumulated in either

tanks or containers. Accumulation does not constitute "storage," a dangerous waste activity that

requires a permit (see storage). The generator does

not need to obtain a storage permit if he/she complies with the applicable requirements of WAC 173-

303-200 and 173-303-201, as outlined below.

• Large Quantity Generators may accumulate their

waste for up to 90 days before shipping it off-site.

• Medium Quantity Generators may accumulate

their waste for up to 180 days before shipping it

off-site. Ifthe nearest treatment, storage, disposal,

or recycling facility to which they can send their

waste is more than 200 miles away, MQGs may

request that Ecology grant a 90-day extension to

this 180-day period.

• Small Quantity Generators may accumulate

dangerous waste and extremely hazardous waste

without a permit and without any time limit, as

long as the Quantity Exclusion Limit (see Helpful

Hint #4 on pages 3 and 4, and the definition on

page 26) is never exceeded for any waste or

combination of wastes.

Acutely Hazardous Waste: dangerous wastes F020,

F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027, as listed in WAC

173-303-9904; and wastes identified with a dangerous waste code beginning with a "P" as listed in

WAC 173-303-9903.

Authorized Representative: the person responsible for

the overall operation ofthe facility or an operational

unit ofthe facility, e.g., the plant manager, superintendent, or person of equivalent responsibility.

Batch: any waste that is generated less frequently

than once a month. For example, waste from a tank

that is cleaned out once every fourteen weeks would

be considered a "batch."

CFR: see Code of Federal Regulations.

Capacity: the quantity ofwaste that a facility or system

can manage. For landfill systems, maximum operational

capacity is defined as the quantity ofwaste that can

enter the system over the remaining lifetime ofthe

system. For flow systems, maximum operational

capacity is defined as the maximum quantity that can

enter the system during the course of one year.

Closed loop recycling system: a production system

in which secondary materials are reclaimed, returned

to, and reused in the original production process or

processes from which they were generated, PROVIDED:

• the material (typically solvent) is contained in a tank

or tanks, and the process, storage, and reclamation

tanks are completely enclosed and connected (e.g.,

by pipes);

• the spent materials (solvents) are never accumulated

in such tanks for over twelve months without being

reclaimed;

• reclamation does not involve controlled flame

combustion (e.g., burning or incineration that occurs

in boilers, industrial furnaces, or incinerators);

• the reclaimed material is not used to produce a fuel or

used to produce products that are used in a manner

constituting disposal; and

• all dangerous waste residues (e.g., still bottoms,

sludges) from the production/reclamation process go

to a permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facility

or to a legitimate recycler. (Ifthe generator can

demonstrate that the residues do not exhibit any

dangerous waste characteristics [WAC 173-303-090]

or criteria [WAC 173-303-100] and provided that the

original waste was not listed, then the residues are

exempted from this condition; ifthe original waste

was listed, then the residue is also listed.)

Degreasing processes are not considered production

processes, and the reclaimed degreasing solvent,

when subsequently used as a degreaser, is not feedstock. Therefore, a degreasing process would NOT fit

the criteria for a closed loop recycling system.

Code of Federal Regulations: the detailed regulations, written by Federal agencies, that implement the

provisions of laws passed by Congress. Regulations

in the CFR have the force of Federal law. Federal

hazardous waste regulations are found in 40 CFR

Book 2: Guidebook and Codes 23
Dangerous Waste Annual Report

Commercial: the characteristic of offering waste

treatment/storage/disposallrecycling services to

generators or facilities not owned by your company,

who will pay for the service.

Dangerous Waste: see Helpful Hint #1 on page 2.

Dangerous wastes are those solid wastes that designate

as dangerous waste or extremely hazardous waste under

WAC 173-303-070 through WAC 173-303-100.

Designated Facility: the facility designated by the

generator on the manifest to receive a dangerous waste

shipment and that is authorized under Chapter 173-303

WAC or RCRA to recycle or manage dangerous waste.

Disposal: the discharging, discarding, or abandoning of

.dangerous waste, or the treatment, decontamination, or

recycling ofsuch wastes once they have been discarded

or abandoned. This includes the discharge ofany

dangerous wastes into or on any land, air, or water.

EHW: see Extremely Hazardous Waste.

Extended storage: occurs when a TSDR generates or

receives from off-site a dangerous waste that is then

placed into on-site permitted storage during the

current reporting year for a period oftime that will

extend beyond the next reporting year. In other

words, extended storage addresses those wastes that

would enter storage and remain in storage during a

minimum oftwo reporting cycles (i.e., the waste

enters storage during the current reporting year and

does not emerge during the next reporting year).

Example: A TSDR places a dangerous waste into onsite permitted storage during the current (e.g., 2000)

reporting year and anticipates that the waste will

remain in storage throughout the next (e.g., 2001)

reporting year, such that the earliest time that the

waste would emerge from storage is sometime during

the 2002 reporting year. In this example, the waste

will have been in permitted storage for a minimum of

two reporting cycles (starting in 2.000 and continuing

in 2001). This constitutes extended storage.

Extremely Hazardous Waste (EHW): see Helpful

Hint #1 on page 2. Those solid wastes as defined in

Chapter 173-303 WAC that designate as Extremely

Hazardous Waste.

Facility: all contiguous land, and structures, other

appurtenances, and improvements on the land used

surface impoundments, or combination ofthem).

Unless otherwise specified in these Annual Report

forms, the terms facility, managementfacility, treatment/storage/disposal/recyclingfacility, and TSDR

facility shall be used interchangeably.

Form Code: code developed by EPA to describe the

physical/chemical nature of a waste. The coding system

is divided into five broad categories: lab packs, liquids,

solids, sludges, and gases. The liquids, solids, and

sludges categories have subsections to describe inorganic and organic wastes. Examples ofform codes

include: B203 nonhalogenated solvent, and B510

degreasing sludge with metal scale or filings.

or accumulation is 2,200 pounds or more ofdangerous

waste, or 2.2 pounds or more of acutely hazardous waste.

Legal Owner: in the context ofthese forms, the com- .

pany/agency who owns the site or part ofthe site to which

the RCRA Site ill Number is assigned.

MQG: see Medium Quantity Generator.

recurrent, from production processes or routine service

and cleanup activities; and origin code "ii", which

indicates that the waste is the result of a spill cleanup,

equipment decommissioning, or other remedial cleanup

activity.

POTW: see Publicly Owned Treatment Works

Permit: an authorization that allows a person to perform

dangerous waste transfer, treatment, storage, or disposal

Recurrent Waste: waste derived on-site from a production process, service activity or routine cleanup (including off-specification or spent chemicals).

Recycling: the use or reuse of waste as an effective

substitute for a commercial product or as an ingredient or feedstock in an industrial process. It also refers

to the reclamation of useful constituent fractions

within a waste material or the removal of contaminants from a waste to allow it to be reused. As used in

this report, recycling implies use, reuse, or reclamation of a waste after it has been generated.

Recycling without prior storage or accumulation:

waste recycled on-site, without being stored or

accumulated prior to recycling in a process subject to

WAC 173-303-120(4)(a) ofthe Dangerous Waste

Regulations, are not counted toward generator status

Report. As soon as the waste is generated, it must

immediately enter the recycling unit.Wastes cannot

be carried in buckets between the point of generation

and the recycling units.

Residual: matter that remains after completion of a

waste treatment activity (e.g., a sludge resulting from

wastewater treatment; a still bottom remaining after

solvent distillation).

activity, not to include treatment, recycling, or

disposal (see the definitions), that may involve the

permitted storage of a dangerous waste prior to its

ultimate treatment/disposal/recycling, whether on-site

or off-site; and may involve the sorting, consolidating, and/or re-packaging of dangerous wastes received from off-site for purposes ofmore efficient

management or transport. Examples ofstorage/

transfer activities include:

• the sorting oflab packs received from generators to

ascertain the quantities and identities ofthe various

items in the pack in preparation for re-packaging of

the lab pack's contents for transport to ultimate

treatment/recycling!disposal;

• the consolidation of waste in a container/tank for

purposes ofsimplified, more economical transport to

a facility for ultimate treatment/disposal/recycling;

character or composition of any dangerous waste so as to: .

• neutralize such waste,

• recover energy or material resources from the

waste,

• render such waste non-dangerous or less

hazardous,

• make it safer for transport, storage, or disposal, or

• make it ainenable for recovery, amenable for storage,

or reduce its volume.

Treatment-by-generator: the process by which

generators may treat their own dangerous wastes on-site

without obtaining a dangerous waste treatment permit.

Technical Information Memorandum #96-412 sets forth

Ecology's guidance on how this activity may be done.

waste lamp" means any type of high or low pressure bulb or tube portion of an electric lighting

device that generates light through the discharge of

electricity either directly or indirectly as radiant

energy. Universal waste lamps include, but are not

limited to, fluorescent, mercury vapor, metal

halide, high-pressure sodium and neon. As a

reference, it may be assumed that four, four-foot,

one-inch diameter unbroken fluorescent tubes are

equal to 2.2 pounds in weight.

Mercury containing thermostats: A mercury containing thermostat is a temperature control device that

conains metallic mercury in an ampule attached to a

bimetal sensing element (this does not include all

mercury switches). Ampules removed from these

thermostats should also be managed under the

universal waste requirements. Other types ofmercury switches must be managed according to all

applicable dangerous waste requirements.

WAC: Washington Administrative Code. Chapter

173-303 WAC provides the Department of Ecology

dangerous waste regulations.

Waste: all dangerous and hazardous waste regulated

pursuant to Chapter 173-303 WAC and the federal

RCRA regulation.

Waste minimization: the reduction, to the extent

feasible, of dangerous waste that is generated or

subsequently treated, stored, or disposed of. It

includes any source reduction or recycling activity

undertaken by a generator that results in (1) the

reduction of total volume or quantity of dangerous

waste; (2) the reduction oftoxicity of dangerous

waste; or (3) both, as long as the reduction is consistent with the goals of minimizing present and future

threats to human health and the environment.
