HWIR-Media 63 FR 65874-65947 November 30, 1998 (RCRA ClusterIX, HSWNnon-HSWA provisions)

Notes: 1) While not included in this revision checklist, this rule adds new requirements to Part 271. Specifically, it adds the procedures for a State to receive authorization for rules listed as acceptable for abbreviated application requirements. 2) The revisions to 40 CFR 260.10, 264.1U) intro, 264.101(d), 264.552(a), 264.553(a), 264.554, 265.1(b), 268.2(c), 268.50(g), 270.2, 270.42 Appendix I, and 270.230(e)(l) were promulgated pursuant to HSWA. Because these provisions are not more stringent, they are immediately effective only in those States not authorized for the base RCRA program. The revisions to 40 CFR 261.4(g), 264.1U)(l}-(13), 264.73(b)(l7), 270.11(d), 270.68, 270.73(a), and Part 270 SubpartH (except 270.230(e)(l» were promulgated relative to non-HSWA authority. The 264.1(j) introductory paragraph is also a non-HSWA provision to theextentthat it addresses the requirements that remediation waste management units can meet in lieu of 40 CFR Part 264, Subparts B, C and D. Those provisions designated as HSWA are identified by a ". II (diamond symbol) in this checklist. 3) 

### Revision Checklist 121 added 40 CFR 264, Subpart S addressing Corrective Action Management Units (CAMUs) and Temporary Units. The 'ruleaddressed by that checklist limitedthe use ofCAMUs andTemporaryUnits to remedies under 40 CFR 264.101 or RCRA §3008(h) (corrective action). The rule addressed by Revision Checklist 175 expands the availability for use ofthese units to permitted facilities that are not subject to 40 CFR 264.101. States may be authorized for Revision Checklist 175 without being authorized for Revision Checklist 121 if the authorization, relative to the use ofCAMUs andTemporary Units, is limited to permittedfacilities that are not subject to 40 CFR 264.101. This limitation needs to be addressed in Section XV (BE) of the Attorney General's Statement. At that entry, the State should also cite its analogs to 40 CFR 260.10 ("disposal facility", "landfill", "miscellaneous unit", and "remediation waste"), 264.552(b)-(h), 264.553(b)-(g), 265.1(b), 268.2(b), 270.2 ("disposal facility"), and 270.42, Appendix I. 

### These other provisions need to be cited by the State and reviewed by the Region to assure that all ofthe design and operating requirements for CAMUs and Temporary Units areincluded in the State's regulations and authorized. In the "Remarks ofthe Attorney General", the State's Attorney General must include a statement that, relative to 40 CFR 264, Subpart S, the State is not seeking authorization for the corrective action uses ofCAMUs and Temporary Units. If

### the State is also not authorized for Revision Checklist 17L (Corrective Action), the State should also limit the use, and in tum the authorization, of staging piles in a similar fashion

The "corrective action management unit" definition at §270.2 shouldhave also been revised by the HWIRmediarule in the same fashion as this definition was revised in §260.1O. Thus, the two definitions are inconsistent. A State adopting this rule, shouldrevise its analogs to both definitions. Section 264.1

### G)intro is a HSWA provision as it applies to facility-wide corrective action at remediation waste management site and a non-HSWA provision to the extent that it addresses the requirements relative to 40 CFR Part 264, Subparts B, C, and D. There appears to be an omission in 268.50(g). Following "prohibition and requirements in this" should probably be "section" to referto the 268.50 prohibitions. In 

### redesignating 270.11(d) as 270. l1(d)(l), in the November 30, 1998 rule (63 FR 65941), it appears as though the title of paragraph (d), 

### "Certification" , has been removed. It 

### is assumed that 270.11(d) intro remains in the code but only contains the paragraph's title, 

### "Certification".

### There appears to be an omission in 270. 11(d)(1). Following "paragraph (a) or (b)

### The November 30, 1998 (64 FR 65874) rule adds a new section at 270.68. There is no § 270.67; therefore, it is assumed to be reserved. In 

### revising this provision, EPA has replaced the ending "; or" with a period. This appears to be an error as interim status terminates when either270.73(a) or 270.73(b) occurs. When adopting this Rule, States are advised to leave the ending "; or" intact at 270.73(a).
