the extent they are required by the exemption granted to such a person under section 373-1.1 (d)

Note: These Subpart 373~2 regulations do apply to the aboveground treatment or storage of hazardous waste before it is injected underground.

(5) The requirements of this Subpart apply to the owner or operator of a publicly owned

treatment works which treats, stores or disposes of hazardous waste only to the extent they are

required by the exemption granted to such person under section 373-1.l(d) of this Part.

(6) The requirements of this Subpart apply to those portions of a facility managing

recyclable materials described in section 371.1 (g)(l )(ii) and (iv) of this Title only to the extent

that the requirements of this Subpart are referred to in sections 374-1.3, 374~1.6, 374-1.7,

374-1.8. or Subpart 374-2 of this Title.

(7) Universal waste handlers and transporters (as defined in section 370.2[b] of this Title)

are subject to regulation under Subpart 374-3 of this Title, when handling the below-listed

universal wastes:

(i) batteries as described in section 374-3.1 (b) of this Title:

(ii) pesticides as described in section 374~3.1(c) of this Title;

do not apply to remediation waste management sites. (However, some remediation waste

management sites may be a part of a facility that is subject to a traditional RCRA permit

because the facility is also treating, storing or disposing of hazardous wastes that are not

remediation wastes. In these cases, sections 373-2.2, 373-2.3, 373-2.4 and 373-2.6(1) of this

remediation waste management sites must:

(i) obtain an EPA identification number by applying to the USEPA Region II administrator using EPA form 8700-12;

(ii) obtain a detailed chemical and physical analysis of a representative sample of the

hazardous remediation wastes to be managed at the site. At a minimum, the analysis must

contain all of the information which must be known to treat, store or dispose of the waste

according to this subpart and Part 376 of this Title, and must be kept accurate and up to date;

(iii) prevent people who are unaware of the danger from entering, and minimize the

possibility for unauthorized people or livestock to enter onto the active portion of the

remediation waste management site, unless the owner or operator can demonstrate to the

department that:

(a) physical contact with the waste. structures, or equipment within the active portion

of the remediation waste management site will not injure people or livestock who may

enter the active portion of the remediation waste management site; and

(b) disturbance of the waste or equipment by people or livestock who enter onto the

active portion of the remediation waste management site, will not cause a violation of the

requirements of this Subpart;

(iv) inspect the remediation waste management site for malfunctions. deterioration.

operator errors. and discharges that may be causing. or may lead to, a release of hazardous

waste constituents to the environment. or a threat to human health. The owner or operator

must conduct these inspections often enough to identify problems in time to correct them
