c) The Permittee m1l also conduct an annual formal review of a generator's history 

ofMIHW shipments to the facility. The Permittee will provide additional training 

to generators/customers as necessary to ensure containers of MIHW are received 

in accordance with. facility guidelines and specific requirements listed with.in the 

Part B permit application and lbe facility's permit. 

d) Containers of MlHW will not be opc:ned at the facility for any reason, including 

sampling or splitting into smaller charge sizes. Howeve<, containers being 

processed to the incinerator lbrough the Direct Tanker Bays or the Direct Drum 

Pump Out Station can be opened for that purpose. . Consequently, the 

gene<ator/customer must provide sufficient documentation, as well as 

certification, regarding the hazardous characteristics of the waste. 

e) 

f) 

Fingerprint samples will not be collected from MIHW when the waste arrives at 

the facility. However, each container of MIHW will be monitored for 

radioactivity to ensure levels do not exceed background concemations. 

Untreated MIHW will not be placed into any tank system (Organic Was+.e Tank 

Fsrrn, Pump-Out Tanks, Bulk Solid Waste Tanks, Water Collection Tanks) or into 

any miscellaneous unit (filter press, shredder, extruder, pusher) at the facility. 

Trea1ment residual (slag) from the incinaBlion of MJHW that contains waste not 

combusted to ash or slag, eoccept for metallic, glass, and ceramic items, may be 

placed in the Bulk Solid Waste Tanks for reprocessing.

As disa!Ssed in section C-1 c(2), reactivity and compallbility tests are perfonned as part of the preacreptance analyses phase and as part of fingerprint analysis. Companbility tests are conducted on 

bulk solids. Compatibility testing is also conducted on bulk liquids, slndges, and slurry waste prior 

to transfer of waste into a tank. In addition to lhese tests, facility management may decide to 

perrOlDI additional analysis when preparing to process wasteS. 

Opeil!lioos at the facility, for which current and periodic sampling and analyses may be important, 

include the following: 

• Storage I Blending 

• Treannent (i.e., incineration)

The Permittee stores waste in containers and in tanks. The· two systems are managed differently 

. and are discussed in the two separate sections below. 

C-2f(l)(i) Waste in Containers 

Based on the initial hazatd determination and the analysis of the waste, the containerized waste 

will be segregated with respect to ignitability and compatibility . . The US DOT Hazardous 

Precedence List (49 CPR Part 173.2 and 177.848) shall be employed for the initial determination 

of compatibility. 1bis deteanination may also be made by review of the data from the WPS, 

knowledge of the waste source, and/or any supplemental analyses requested by the facility 

management. The following table lists hazard classes with incompau'ble hazard classes for 

wastes that are stored at the facility. These materials will be segregated from incompatible 

materials by storage in separate containment areas.

In some instances, containers of waste witb free liquids are treated solely to absorb the free 

liquids and reduce the instantaneous BTU release in the incinerator. The waste will .be mixed 

with a proper absorbent (such as clay, cellulose or absorbent polymer) until a mixture is 

produced that contains no free liquids. Reactive materials and other restricted wastes 'vill not be 

candidates for this process. Absorbents will be added with ventilation from the vapor recovery 

system. After the absorbent has been added, these mixtures may be fed directly to the 

incinerator. 

Section 0.1 of the Part B pemUt application presents ·delllils regarding the container storage area. 

Section F-5 of the Part B permit application provides additional information regarding filcility 

pnctices to preveot reaction of ignitable, reactive, and incompatible wastes .. 

C·Zf(l)(il) Waste in Tanks 

Prior to transferring any waslt into a storage tank, the compatibility of the waste with the 

material in the tank and the tank materials of construction will be determined by the facllity 

management, by first reviewing !he pre·acceptance evaluation and using the waste compatibility 

test results conducted during the iingelprint analyses. The Permittee will use differential scanning 

calorimetry (DSC) or an equivalent method/test to examine the possibility of delayed reactions, 

which may occur during·storage. The parameters that are used to determine compatibility are as 

follows: 

Stmtification - The general miscibility of the materials will be examined. If stratification would 

appear to create a problem, the materials will not be combined. 

Heat Oenecation • Materials that, upon mixing, generate large amounts of heat or undergo 

exothermic reaction, will not be combined.

Supporting information used to characterize waste via generator knowledge is maintained in the 

facility's operating record. This supporting infonnation may be obtained from itans such as the 

WPS, pre-acceplancc 811.31yses, manife<t, land disposal restriction form, finge.pr:int analyses, and 

supplemental analyses. Prior to acceptance of a waste for treatment at the facility, the generator 

must complete a WPS as described in section C.lb(IXi). The WPS for each waste stream is 

assigned a unique waste profile number. Information from the WPS (e.g., EPA hazardous waste 

codes, applicable trcall:nenl standards, elemental concentration ranges, etc.) is entered into the 

ARTS (Automated Realtime Tracking System or any successor) database that tracks pertinent 

information regarding an approved waste streatn. Therefore, all waste codes associated with a 

waste stream are dcx:umented in the ARTS computer database and correlated with the wask 

profile number given to each waste stream.

As waste is received, it is logged into the database. Supporting infoonation, as noted above, (i.e., 

manifest data, fingttprint analyses, WPS infoonation, etc.) is correlated with the waste stream. 

The ARTS database not only tracks pertinent waste stream information, bnt also tracks each 

movement of the waste at the facility. 

Average retention times (i.e., the amount of time the waste may have been in the incineration 

process) are used to assign the waste codes that have been introduced into the kiln and could now 

be components of the ash or slag (i.e., treatment residue). These waste codes are assigned to the 

treatment residue for determining land disposal restriction analysis, and notification and 

cerlification requirements. 

Incinerator ash is collected in· pneumatic bullc carriers, lined polypropylene .fabric bags and/or 

dust-tight, dry-solids transport boxes. Details on the sampling methods and sampling equipment 

are presented in Attacl:unent C.6. In addition to the ash, the incinemor produces slag which is 

collected in roUoff boxes or dump trailers. The number of samples taken for chemical analysis 

will be based on the size of the roll-off and/or end dump trailer and will follow methods 

described in Attachment C.6. 

Initially, the Permittee asswnes that all treatment residue may be land restricted. Therefore, all 

incinerator ash and slag are evaluated via generator knowledge as described above or analytically 

tested for compliance with the land disposal restriction requirements. The analyses conducted on 

the treatment residue are based on the collective EPA hazardous waste codes associated with the 

waste feed that was incinerated to produce the residue during the residue collection interval. As 

stated previously, EPA hazardous waste codes fot' the waste feed are tracked on the ARTS 

database. The analytical methods used are presented on Attachment C.S. Frequency of residue 

testing is detailed in section C-2d(4). Analytical resuhs are compared to the appropriate 

treatment or technology standards to detennine if the incinerator residue complies with the 

cwrent land disposal restrictions. These analytical data, as well as land disposal restriction 

no lineation, will accompany each shipment of the residue destiited for land disposal.

CBEMISTRY PRACTICE 141 

SAMJ>I JNG PROCEDURES . n mpOSES AND GENERAl , CONSIDERATIONS 

1. PURPOSES AND GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS 

Sampling is pctfonned by facility employees for a variety ofpwposes.and by the waste 

genecator at their location to make au initial waste detamination. Specific sampling 

procedures are dependent on both the nature of the material and the type of container. This 

section present.~ sampling methodologies to be utilized on-site by facility personnel in 

accordance with OAC Rule 3745-54-13{C)(2). 

Sampling of hazardous wastes is conducted for several different pw:poses. In all 

instances, it is performed to determine compliance with existing togU!¢ons promulgated 

by the different regulatory agencies. It is alJo conducted to obtain data for pwposes of 

classifying, managing. ~ and dclemlining compatibility characteristics of the wastes. 

When a material arrives at the facility for treatment or storage, a determination has 

previously been made by the generator that the waste is either: 

• a solid waste wbich is not a hazardous waste as defined in OAC Rule 3745·51·02; 

• a listed hazardous waste as defined in OA.C Rule3745-51-31 to 33; or 

• a characteristic hazardous waste as defined in OAC Rule 3745-51-20 to 24.'

The generator's/custome:r's completed WPS provides the Permittee with information 

regarding the composition and characteristics of the waste. Therefore, according to US EPA 

docwnent SW-846, Test Methods fnr Evah!ating So1id Waste, vertical compositing is the 

appropriate meihod for collecting representative samples of a variety of materials. This 

method will yield a representative sample of all containers, except where noted in this 

manual 

Upon ani val, the shipment of waste is sampled and analyzed to ensure it matches the 

ove:rall waste identity designated on the accompanying manifest and pre-acceptance 

paperworl<:. 

The sampling equipment and procedures described in this document represent the 

facility's recommended sampling protocol for general types of waste and waste containers. 

In general, the equipment utilized for specific wastes corresponds to those referenced in 

40 CFR Part 261 Appendix I. The sampling methods and the equipment utiliud are 

presented and desmbed in this procedure. Procedures and equipment may be updated and 

revised as new equipment or procedures become available. 

In general, sampling requires the collection of adequate sized, representative samples of 

the wastes. Sampling situations vary widely and therefore no universal sampling procedure 

can be recommended. Rather, several procedures are outlined for sampling different waste 

types in various states and ·containers.

Generally, the info:rmation about the waste determines the kind of sampling plan to be 

used. All the information needed is available from pre-acceptance doctimentation, which 

includes the manifest, the WPS, generator/customer supplied information (MSDSs, 

analytical, etc.), and the pre-acceptance analysis, if applicable. The information needed by 

the person performing the sampling is generally available on the HMIS label (Hazardous 

Materiallnfurmation System). Any questions that arise, for insrance a very high rating for 

health, C!lD be directed to the employee's supervisor. The supervisor will direct questions 

to the Safety Department. If necessary, the Safety Department can verify chemical 

properties in references such_ as Dangerous Properties nflndnstrial Matrrials, Merck Index, 

Haw\ey!a Condensed Chemjcal Djctionery, Toxic and Hazardous TndnstJial Cbc;mjca}s 

Safety Man11al for Handling and Disposal wjth Tnxjcity and Hazanim1s Data, 00: other 

chemical references. 

L2 Selection of Sarnplillg Equipment 

Hazardous wastes are usually complex, multiphase mixtures ofliquids, shnries, 

sludges, or solids. These mixtures vary greatly in viscosity, corrosivity, volatility, 

explosivity, and flammability. The solid wastes can range from fine grain powders and 

granules to larger bulk waste such as wood, insulation, and cans. The waste may be 

contained in drums, barrels, sacks, bins, vacuum trucks, and other containers. No single 

type of sampling equipment can be used to collect representative samples of all types of 

wa$tes. Table A lists waste types and the corresponding sampling equipment available for 

use. Sampling procedures for multiphase wastes will be discussed later in this document.

Z. SELECTION OF SAMPLE CONTAINER, CONfAlNER CLOSURE, AND 

CLOSURE LIN1NG 

Z.l Sample Contaioen 

The most important factors for facility personnel to consider when choosing contaioers 

for hazardo~ waste samples are compatibility, resistance to breakage, and vohnne. 

Containers must not melt, rupture, or leak as a result of contact with the waste sample. 

Thus, it is important to know the characteristics of the waste. The containers must bitve 

adequate wall thickness to withstand handliog duriog sample collection and transport to the 

laboratory. Contaioers with wide mouths are desirable to ensure the sample is not spilled 

when placing it in the sample container. Also, the contaioers must be large enough fnr the 

required volume of sample. 

Plastic quart containers are generally used for collection and storage ofhazardollS waste 

samples at the facility. Glass containers will be~ when specifically required by waste 

type. Commonly available plastic containers made of high-density polyethylene or linear 

polyethylene (LPE), conventional polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, teflon FEP 

(fluorinated ethylene propylene), polyvioyl chloride (PVC), or polymethylpetitene will be 

used when conditious dictate their use. 

Z.Z Contaioer Clo$11RS and Closure Linings 

The sample contaioers used by the facility bave tight, screw-type lids. Plastic 

contaioers are usually provided with screw caps made of the same material. Glass 

·contaioers are usual.ly provided with gla.'lS or rigid plastic caps. The plastic caps are 

provided with cbemically inert liners.

OHD980613541 

Revision: 22 

November 1 0, 2009 

The sampling plan and container type will be well fonnulated before any actual 

sampling is attempted, when necessary. The plan will be consistent with the objectives of 

the sampling. It will inclllde the selected point(s) of sampling as well as the number, 

volume, and the type of sampling equipment to be used Sampling plans are in place and 

utilized by the Permittee. These general requirements are discussed below. 

3.1 Point of Samplillg 

A representative sample is crucial to the sampling plan. The sample depends upon the 

proper selection of sampling points in the waste. Hazardous wastes may be homogeoeous, 

multiphase mixtures or heterogeneous bulk solids. The wastes may be contained and stored 

in containers of different sizes and shapes with varying access. No single sampling point 

can be specified for all types of containers. Table B lists most types of containers used for 

hazardous wastes and the corresponding recommended sampling points. Efforts will be 

made to ma:ximi.ze the number of sample points.

3.4 Sampling Preeautions and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) 

Proper safety precautions must always be observed when sampling hazardous wastes. In 

all cases, facility persoDDei collecting a sample are aware that the waste could be a strong 

sensitizer, corrosive, Oanunable, explosive, toxic, capable of releasing extremely poisonous 

gases, or any combination of those characteristics. The background information is 

evaluated by facility management and is communicated by the Hazardous Material 

Information System (HI'v!IS) or a similar type system. Appropriate PPB will be worn by the 

person collecting the sample. 

When required, the facility has self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) available, 

consisting of an air-tight face mask coupled to an independent system dedicated to 

supplying breathing air at all sampling stations. 

0 All PPE will be properly washed and cleaned between use or properly discarded by facility 

personnel, as appropriate.

These procedures are recommended for sampling different types of hazardous wastes in 

various containers and configmations. These procedures exist as a separate SOPs. Please 

refer to Attachment C.7. In addition, specific procedures for sampling liquid tanks are 

included in Attachment C.8. 

5. SAMJ>LE HANDLING 

After a sample is transferred into the proper sample container, the container will be tightly 

capped as quickly as possible to prevent loss of volatile components and to prevent possible 

oxidation from air. 

6. IDENTIFICATION OF SAMPLE 

,,1 Sample Labels . 

Sample labels for incoming wastes are automatically printed by the compoter system and 

correspond to tbe individual container. When sampling other materials the sample labels 

will need to be filled' out by facility personnel to prevent misidentification of samples. The 

automated label includes the following information:

SAMPLING EQUIPMENT AND METHODOLOGIES 

GENERAL R ULES FOR SAMPLING 

I) Most sampling equipment will be used once and discarded in proper satellite , 

accwnulation containers. 

2) Wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) for all sampling activities. 

3) Seal and label all sampling containers. 

4) All sampling tools that are to be reused i.e. trim, scoops, auger, sbovet, waste 

pile samplers, weighted bottles and dippers are to be plaud in a container to 

avoid \llllleCeSSary 'spilling' of waste. The Permittee may choose to 

decontaminate reusable tool if warranted. 

SAMPLING EQUIPMENT 

Sampling ofhazardouswastes at the facility requires the use of several different types 

of tools. This section lists and describes suitable tools, their availability, as well as 

directions for their proper use. 

1. COLIWASA 

Description 

The Coliwasa is one of two types of sampling equipment used extensively at the 

facility. It has been chosen from a number of other liquid sampling tools based upon 

laboratory and field applications. It is a practical, easy to use, effective sampling device. It 

will permit the representative sampling of multiphase wastes of a wide range of viscosity, 

oorrosivity, volatility, and solids content Its simple design allows the rapid collection of 

samples, thus minimizing the exposure of the sampler to potential hazards from the wastes. 

Typically, a single-use, disposable Coliwasa will be utilized. Coliwasa that are 

contaminated will be incinerated. A typical Coliwasa is shown in Figure I. The main parts 

of the Coliwasa consist of a sampling tube, a closure-locking mechanism, and the closure 

system.

The plastic Coliwasa will be used to sample most bulk liquid wastes except for those 

wastes that contain high COllCUllratioos of ketones, nitrobenzene, dimethylfoJlllamide, 

mesityl oxide, and tettrabydrofuran . 

Proeedu e for Use 

I. Choose !be plastic tube for the liquid waste to be sampled and assemble the 

Coliwasa as shown in fi~ I. 

2. Make suxe that the Coliwasa is clean. 

3. Check to make sure the Coliwasa is functioning properly. Adjust the lockiog 

mechanism if necessary to make sure the neoprene rubber stopper provides a 

tight closure. 

4. Wear recommended PPB and observe required sampling precautions. 

S. Put the Coliwasa in the open position by plscing the stopper rod handle in the 

T-position and pushing the rod down until the handle sits against the 

,-.... Co!iwasa's locking block. 

'- 6. Slowly lower the Coliwasa into the liquid waste. (Lower the Coliwasa at a rate 

that permits the levels of the liqruds inside and outside the Coliwasa tube to be 

about the same, lftbe level of the liquid in the sampler tube is lower than that 

outside the tube, the sampling rate is too fast and will result in a 

nomepreseD!ative sample). · . 

7. When tbeColiwasa stopper hits tbe bottom ofthewasteoon.tainer, push the 

sampler tube downward Bg$inst the stopper to close the Coliwasa. Loclc the 

Coliwasa in lhe closed position by turning the T handle until it is upright and 

one end rests tightly on the lockmg block. 

8. Slowly withdraw the Coli was a from tbc waste container with one hand while 

wiping the tube with a disposable cloth or rsg with the other hand. 

9. Carefully discharge the sample into a suitable sample container by slowly 

opening the Coliwasa. This is done by slowly pulling the lower end of the T 

handle away from tho locking block while the lower end of the. Coliwasa is 

positioned in the sample con.tainer. 

I 0. Cap the sample container; attach label and seal. 

11. Place Coliwasa (If not being re-used), paper towels, and any waste rags into the 

satellite accumulation coatainer. 

12. Deliver the sample to the laboratory fur analysis.

The open tube sampler is another versatile liquid sampler- that lhe ~cility will use in a 

wideT811ge of applications. Its' relatively low cost and ease of operation make it an 

attractive sampling tool. It is a hoUow plastic tul!e, usuaUy 4 feet long, with an internal 

diameter of 0.25 to 0.50 inches, depeDding on the viscosity of the sample. These tools have 

a constricted orifice at the top of the tube in order to facilitate plugging the opening to 

maintain a vacuum in the tube.

The Open Tube Sampler will be used to sample liquid and sludge drummed wastes. 

Procedures for Use 

l. Choose an open tube sampler of the proper length for the waste to be sampled, i.e. 

small container, dnun, and large container or tank truck. 

2. Make sure the open tube sampler is clean. 

3. Wear recommended PPE and observe sampling precautions. 

4. Slowly lower the tube into the liquid waste. (Lower the tube at a rate that pennits 

the levels of the liquid inside and outside the tube to be about the same. If the 

level oftbe liquid in the tube is lower tluui that outside the tube, the sampling rate 

is too fast and will result in a nonrepresentative sample). 

S. When the tube is inserted to the desired depth, stopper the tube with a rubber 

stopper, thumb, or by creasing a piece·of flexible tubing attached to the open end 

of the open tube sampler. This is done to establish a vacuum in the tube, thereby 

enabling withdrawal of the sample from the container.

Slowly withdraw the tube from the waste container with one hand wbile wiping 

the tube with a disposable cloth or rag with the other hand. 

Carefully discharge the sample into a suitable sample container by slowly opening 

the tube. 

Cap the sample container; attach label and seal. 

Place sampling tube (if not being re·used), paper towels or waste rags into a 

satellite accumulation container. 

Deliver the sample to the laboratory for analysis.

3. SAMPLING TRIER 

Description 

A typical sampling trier, as shown in Figure 2, is along tube with a slot that extends 

almost its entire length. The tip and edges of the tube slot are sh81Jlened to allow the trier 

to cut a core of the material to be sampled when rotated after insertion into the material. 

Sampling triers are usually made of stainless steel with wooden handles. They are about 61 

to 100 em (24 to 40 in.) long and 1.27 to 2.54 em (112 to 1 in.) in diameter. They can be 

purchased readily from laboratory supply houses. 

Uses 

The sampling trier is used for sampling powdered or granular wastes or materials in 

bags, fiber drums, sacks, or similar containers. In addition, the sampling trier can be used 

to obtain samples of moist I sticky waste and soft or loosened waste soil up to a depth of 61 

(-', em (24 in.) as outlined below. 

\.._/ Procedure for Use 

I. Insert the trier into the waste material at a 0 to 45 degree angle from 

horizontal. This orientation minimizes the spillage of sample. Extraction of 

samples might require tilting of the container. 

2. Rotate the trier once or twice to cut a core of material. 

3. Slowly withdraw the trier, making sure that the slot is facing upward. 

4. Ttansfer the sample into a suitable sample container with the aid of a spatula 

and/or blUsh. 

5. Repeat the sampling at different points, two or more times, and combine the 

sainples in the same sample container. 

6. Cap the sample container; attach the label and seal. 

7. Wipe the trier clean, and store it in a plastic bag for subsequent cleaning. 

8. Deliver the sample to the laboratory for analysis.

4. TROWEL OR SCOOP (HAND SHOVEL) 

Description 

Heritage - WTI, Inc. 

OHD98061354 1 

Revision: 22 

November 10, 2009 

· A garden-variety trowel looks like a small shovel (Figure 3). The blade is usually about 

7 by 13 an (3 by 5 in.) with a sharp tip. A laboratory scoop is similar to the trpwel, but the 

blade is usually more curved and has a closed upper end to permit the containment of 

material. Scoops come in different sizeS and makes. Stainless steel or polypropy1ene 

scoops with 7 by 15-cm (2-3/4 by 6-in) blades are preferred. A trowel can be bought from 

hardware stores; the scoop can be bought from laboratory supply houses. 

Uses 

An ordinary zinc-plated garden trowel can be used in some cases for sampling dry 

granular or powdered materials in b~ or other shallow containers. The laboratory scoop, 

however, is a superior choice. It is usually made of materials less subject to corrosion or 

chemical reactions, thus lessening the probability of sample contamination. The trowel or 

scoop can also be used in collecting top surface soil samples.

WASTE PILE SAMPLER 

Description 

A ~aste pile sampler (Figure 4) is essentially a large sampling trier. It is commercially 

available, but it can be easily fabricated from sheet mclal plastic pipe. A polyvinyl chloride 

plumbing pipe 1.52 m (5 ft) long and 3.2 em (1-1/4 in.) in diameter with a 0.32 an (1/8 in.) 

wall thiclcness is !be typical size. The pipe is shaved lengthwise (about 6<V40 split) until 

!be last 10 em (4 in.). The narrower piece is sawn off and forms a slot in the pipe. The 

edges of the slot and the tip of the pipe are sharpened to permit the sampler to cut into the 

waste material being sampled. The unsplit length of the pipe serves as the handle. The 

plastic pipe can be purchased from hardware store.q.

The waste pile sampler is used for sampling wastes in huge heaps with cross-sectional 

diameters greater than I m (39.4 in.). It can also be uSed for sampling granular or 

powdered wastes or materials in huge bins, or pits where a sampling trier is not long 

enough. This sampler should only be used to collect samples when the diameter of the 

solid particles is less than half the diameter of the tube. Because the facility typically would 

not have large heaps, bins, or pits of waste to sample, it is used infrequently. 

Procedure for Use 

1. Insert the sampler into the waste material being sampled at 0 to 45 degrees 

from horizontal. 

2. Rotate the sampler two or three times in order to cut a core of the material. 

3. Slowly withdraw the sampler, making sure that the slot is facing upward. 

4. Transfer the sample into a suitable container with the aid of a spatula and/or 

brush. 

5. Repeat the sampling at different sampling points two or more times· and 

combine !he samples in the same sample container in step 4. 

6. Cap the cOntainer, attach label and seal. 

7. Wipe the sampler clean and store it in a plastic bag for subsequent cleamng. 

8. Deliver the sample to the laboratory for analysis.
