Introduction

Damage Case Information Collected for Environmental Problems Study
   *  Name, location and EPA Identification Number
   *  Types of materials recycled
   *  Government program responsible for overseeing cleanup of the site (e.g. RCRA Corrective Action, Superfund)
   *  Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) status
   *  Brief description of the site
   *  Site history, including when the recycling occurred, and when the environmental damage occurred
   *  Description of the recycling process
   *  Types of environmental damage 
   *  Cause of environmental damage
   *  Human health impacts, including deaths, associated with the damage
   *  Prosecutions for criminal violations
   *  Whether the materials were recycled on-site (i.e., at the generating facility) or  offsite
   *  Whether the recycler went bankrupt or otherwise went out of business
   *  Whether the recycling facility had a RCRA Part B permit for managing hazardous wastes
   *  Cost of cleanup
   *  Other information that could help identify why the environmental damage occurred
This report presents the results of an analysis of hazardous secondary material recycling-related damage cases that are likely correlated with an exclusion, exemption or alternative standard in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste management regulations found in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR Parts 260-279).  
As part of the 2008 rulemaking revising the Definition of Solid Waste (DSW) regulations, EPA developed a report, An Assessment of Environmental Problems Associated with Recycling of Hazardous Secondary Materials and its addendums (Environmental Problems Study) that includes 223 damage cases.  As described in the Environmental Problems Study, EPA used the following criteria to designate damage cases:

   * Environmental damage can be attributed to some type of recycling activity; 
   * Some form of environmental damage appears to have occurred during or after the year 1982; and,
   * The material recycled was regulated hazardous wastes, or hazardous secondary materials that are specifically excluded from RCRA regulation. 

Additional details about the methodology used to identify and collect information about the damage cases, and the information collected, is contained in the Environmental Problems Study and addendums.

In response to concerns raised by the Sierra Club and other environmental organizations, EPA is asking for comment on potential revisions to the 2008 DSW final rule. As part of this new 2011 rulemaking, EPA further analyzed the damage cases identified in the Environmental Problems Study to determine whether the damage cases were likely associated with an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard within the hazardous waste management regulations. EPA is using this analysis to help assess whether certain exclusions, exemptions, or alternate standards are adequately protecting human health and the environment.

Methodology

The majority of exclusions, exemptions, and alternate standards for recycling hazardous secondary materials do not include notification requirements. This lack of data hinders EPA's ability to collect information regarding what regulations a specific facility was operating under when damage occurred.  Because this information is limited, the Agency developed a methodology that correlates the type of hazardous secondary materials identified in the damage cases to regulations that likely governed the management of the material. This methodology allows EPA to identify patterns related to the types of hazardous secondary material involved in damage cases and whether those materials were likely to be managed under an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard.

Step 1  Identify RCRA regulations associated with recycling of hazardous secondary materials EPA reviewed the RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations to identify those regulations that are associated with hazardous waste recycling. Each regulation was also listed with the effective date of the regulation.  These regulations include recycling-related exclusions to the definition of solid waste under 40 CFR 261.4(a), recycling-related exemptions from the definition of hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261.6, and alternate standards for recycling, such as 40 CFR Part 266 Subpart F (precious metal recycling). 40 CFR 261.7,which excludes residues of hazardous waste in empty containers, was also included because this regulation is largely associated with drum recycling.  The recycling-related regulations used in this analysis are shown in Table 1.

EPA excluded some recycling-related regulations that were not specific to a type of hazardous secondary material. For example, 261.2 (e), Materials that are not solid waste when reused, is broadly applicable to many recycled materials, and could not be associated with any particular material in the damage cases and thus was not included in Table 1.

Step 2  Categorize the type of hazardous secondary material for each damage case 
Recycled Materials from Damage Case Database
   *   Batteries
   *   Commercial chemical product
   *   Drums
   *   Spent solvents
   *   Spent acids/bases
   *   Used oil
   *   Other petroleum wastes
   *   Scrap metals
   *   Precious metal-containing wastes
   *   Mercury-containing wastes
   *   Other metal-bearing wastes
   *   Other wastes (foundry sands, pollution control dusts, smelting wastes, combustion ash, asphaltic wastes and other wastes that do not fit any of the above waste descriptions)
EPA categorized the hazardous secondary materials managed in the damage cases into 12 major hazardous secondary material types, based on the information from the Environmental Problems Study and Addendums. These material types are listed in the box to the right.  EPA identified one or more of these materials for each damage case.
Step 3  Correlate the list of recycling regulations to the 12 types of hazardous secondary material
EPA then correlated the list of recycling-related regulations in Table 1 to the 12 hazardous secondary material types identified in Step 2. The results of this correlation are listed in Table 1.
 
Step 4  Evaluate the likelihood of correlation between hazardous secondary material type to each regulation. 
EPA then evaluated whether each correlation was either "likely" or "potential," based on the following criteria:

      *   Likely  -   Correlations were evaluated to be "likely" if the regulations identified a specific hazardous secondary material type that fit with one of the 12 hazardous secondary material types in the damage cases. For example, damage cases where the recycled material is identified as "batteries" are considered to be likely correlated with 40 CFR 273.2 & Part 266 Subpart G  -  Batteries.  
  
      *   Potential  - Correlations were evaluated to be "potential" if the hazardous secondary material type correlated with a regulation was determined to be too broad to make any direct conclusions. For example, 261.4(a)(7),  Spent Sulfuric Acid  is correlated with "spent acids/bases"; however, there are many other types of acids and bases and thus we cannot reasonably assume that all damage cases associated with spent acids and bases involve spent sulfuric acid.

Step 5  Remove "Potential" correlations
After evaluating the correlations, EPA identified 8 likely correlations and 23 potential correlations (shown in Table 1).  Because the potential correlations are not strong correlations and thus cannot be used to make reasonable assumptions within this analysis,  we did not consider these further in the study. Table 2 includes the 8 likely correlations after the 23 potential correlations are eliminated.

Step 6  Identify the start and end dates of the damage in each damage case 
EPA identified the start and end dates for the recycling activities associated with environmental damage for each damage case based on the information from the Environmental Problems Study and Addendums.  For each damage case, EPA reviewed the damage case history and identified the dates on which the damage-related recycling activities began and ended.  Where historical information about damage-related recycling activities was not available, EPA assumed recycling activities began when the facility began operation, and ceased when the facility was abandoned or site operations ceased.  

Step 7  Correlate the damage cases to an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard 
EPA then analyzed which damage cases may be correlated with a regulation by 1) comparing the type of hazardous secondary material in each damage case to whether that type of hazardous secondary material was likely correlated with an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard; and 2) comparing the date of the damage case to the effective date of the regulation. EPA assumed that a damage case was correlated with a regulation where all of the criteria below were met: 

   * The damage case included recycling of a hazardous secondary material that could be correlated to an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard.
   * The correlation between the type of hazardous secondary material and the regulation was determined to be "likely" in Step 4.
   * The regulation was effective when the damage occurred.

Results

118 damage cases out of a total 223 (53%) were found to be likely correlated with one or more regulatory exclusions, exemptions, or alternative standards. Table 3 shows the number of damage cases likely correlated with a specific regulation.  Additionally, Table 4 lists each damage case counted in Table 3 by the type of hazardous secondary material. Table 5 lists the same damage cases ranked alphabetically by state.  

EPA notes that these results potentially underreport damage cases that may be associated with other exclusions, exemptions, or alternative standards. There are two reasons for this: 

   * First, as discussed, these regulations do not require periodic notification to regulatory authorities and thus the Agency has to rely on comparing the type of hazardous secondary materials associated with the damage cases to the type of hazardous secondary material covered by the exclusions, exemptions, or alternate standards. This means we can only conservatively identify correlations where the type of hazardous secondary material very clearly matches to an exclusion (e.g., scrap metal); we lack information to make inferences for broadly applicable exclusions, (e.g., use/reuse) or for broadly defined hazardous secondary materials (e.g., "metal-bearing wastes").  
      
   * Second, we note that in the Environmental Problems Study only nine of the damage cases were operating under a RCRA permit at the time of damage. Thus, the majority of the damage cases were operating outside of RCRA, inferring these facilities were likely operating under an exclusion, exemption, or alternate standard.
