Waste Analysis Guidance Manual: The

Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of Waste

Analysis Guidance For Facilities That

Burn Hazardous Wastes—Draft.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency announces a draft Waste

Analysis Guidance For Facilities That

Burn Hazardous Wastes for public

comment. This guidance document was

developed by the Office of Compliance

for facilities that treat and dispose of

hazardous wastes by using combustion

technology as regulated under 40 CFR

parts 264 and 265, subpart O and 40

CFR part 266, subpart H. RCRA was

designed to ensure that the generation,

transportation, treatment, storage and

disposal of hazardous wastes are

conducted in a manner that ‘‘protects

human health and the environment.’’

The cornerstone of the program is the

ability of facility personnel to properly

characterize and identify their wastes.

This guidance manual is designed to

assist the regulated community, permit

writers and enforcement officials by

establishing recommended criteria to

properly develop and evaluate RCRA

waste analysis plans at combustion

facilities. The Agency is specifically

soliciting comment on the use of

process knowledge to determine feed

rates of constituents in the absence of

analytical data, and the use of statistical

analysis in establishing feed rate limits.

DATES: EPA will accept public

comments on this draft guidance

document until May 11, 1995.

ADDRESSES: The public must send an

original and two copies of their

comments to: RCRA Information Center

(5305), U.S. Environmental Protection

Notice of Public Meetings on Drinking

Water Issues—Regulatory

Reassessment and Determination of

Maximum Contaminant Level Goals

Notice is hereby given that the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

is holding additional meetings related to

the reassessment of the priorities for

regulating drinking water contaminants

and to the determination of Maximum

Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) used

in setting National Primary Drinking

Water Regulations. These public

meetings are follow-up meetings to the

initial meetings held by EPA on March

13 and 14, 1995. Additional information

about the initial and upcoming meetings

may be obtained from the EPA contact

persons provided below.

The purpose of the meetings is to

provide EPA with ideas, suggestions

and options related to priorities for

regulating drinking water contaminants

and determination of MCLGs.

Information received by EPA during

these meetings can serve as the basis for

strategic decisions on program

directions and resource allocations.

Alternatively or in addition to

attending any particular meeting,

members of the public may submit

written comments to the EPA contact

person for up to fifteen days after the

meeting. General questions about the

meeting process should be directed to

the designated EPA contact person.

Meetings on Determination of MCLGS

EPA is seeking stakeholder views on

revisiting the methodology for

determining MCLGs for drinking water,

including the Agency’s current policy of

setting zero goals for carcinogens. In

regulating drinking water contaminants

that may cause adverse health effects,

EPA sets non-enforceable MCLGs to

protect against these effects,

incorporating a margin of safety. EPA

also sets a Maximum Contaminant Level

(MCL), which is enforceable and may be

less stringent than the MCLG depending

on feasibility and cost.

Several activities planned or ongoing

may improve the characterization of the

variability and uncertainty associated

with the risk assessment for a

contaminant. These include noncancer

risk assessment methodologies such as

the benchmark approach and categorical

regression models, revision of the

Agency’s Cancer Risk Assessment

Guidelines, revision of the relative

source contribution policy, evaluation

of risk assessment methods for chemical

mixtures and development of a risk

characterization policy.

The first meeting of this subject area

was held on March 14, 1995. The

schedule of the additional four meetings

are provided below, along with the

topics for discussion for each meeting.

To obtain additional information

including background issue papers for

each meeting, interested persons may

reach the EPA contact person, Jennifer

Orme-Zavaleta, at 202–260–7571. The

meetings will be held at 2828

Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 402,

Washington, D.C.

(1) April 12–13, 1995, from 9:00 a.m.

to 4:30 p.m. each day: Cancer and

noncancer risk assessment discussion

—Some of the topics to be discussed

include revision of the Cancer Risk

Assessment Guidelines, setting the

Reference Dose (RfD) as a range,

quantitative risk assessment

approaches for carcinogens and

noncarcinogens.

(2) April 27–28, 1995, from 9:00 a.m.

to 4:30 p.m. each day: Exposure

risk assessment and wrap up.

—Some topics to be discussed include

occurrence, dose-response analysis,

exposure and hazard assessment.

Meetings on Regulatory Reassessment

Meetings under this subject area will

provide EPA with stakeholder input on

priorities for regulating drinking water

contaminants. The first meeting of the

Regulatory Reassessment subject area

was held on March 13, 1995. At that

meeting, stakeholders agreed to

prioritize contaminants scheduled for

future drinking water regulation. Each

member of the group will do individual

rankings and share those rankings with

other members of the group. Rankings

will be high/medium/low. Stakeholders

will identify which factors were most

significant in their ranking and what

additional information they believe is

important to issue a regulation. EPA

staff will assemble the information and

provide it to EPA management in order

to develop a priority listing of future

drinking water regulations.

The first group of contaminants to be

ranked are: (1) disinfectants/disinfection

byproducts/surface water microbial

contaminants, (2) ground water

microbial contaminants, (3) arsenic, (4)

radon, and (5) other radionuclides.

Rankings for these contaminants will

begin to be discussed at the next public

meeting, scheduled for April 10–11.

Other contaminants to be ranked and

discussed at future meetings are: (1)

sulfate, (2) aldicarb/aldicarb sulfoxide/

aldicarb sulfone, (3) acifluorfen, (4)

acrylonitrile, (5) boron, (6)

bromomethane, (7) cyanazine, (8)

dicamba, (9) 2,4/2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,4/

2,6–DNT), (10) ethylene thiourea (ETU),

(11) hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), (12)

manganese, (13) methomyl, (14)

metolachlor, (15) metribuzin, (16)

molybdenum, (17) 1,1,1,2-

trichloroethylene (1,1,1,2–TCE), (18)

1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3–TCP), (19)

1,3-dichloropropene (Telone II), (20)

trifluralin, (21) zinc, and (22) nickel.

Other contaminants may also be

discussed.

In addition to the April 10–11,

meeting, meetings are scheduled for

April 25–26, May 11–12, and May 24–

25, 1995 to discuss the contaminants

listed above. The meetings will be held

from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day at

2828 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite

402, Washington, D.C. For further
