Current through June, 2024
(a) This section
					 applies to the management of hazardous waste in tanks, surface impoundments,
					 and containers subject to this subpart.
(b) The owner or operator shall control air
					 pollutant emissions from each hazardous waste management unit in accordance
					 with standards specified in §§ 265.1085 through 265.1088 of this
					 subpart, as applicable to the hazardous waste management unit, except as
					 provided for in paragraph (c) of this section.
(c) A tank, surface impoundment, or container
					 is exempt from standards specified in § 265.1085 through § 265.1088
					 of this subpart, as applicable, provided that the waste management unit is one
					 of the following:
(1) A tank, surface
					 impoundment, or container for which all hazardous waste entering the unit has
					 an average VO concentration at the point of waste origination of less than 500
					 parts per million by weight (ppmw). The average VO concentration shall be
					 determined using the procedures specified in § 265.1084(a) of this
					 subpart. The owner or operator shall review and update, as necessary, this
					 determination at least once every 12 months following the date of the initial
					 determination for the hazardous waste streams entering the unit.
(2) A tank, surface impoundment, or container
					 for which the organic content of all the hazardous waste entering the waste
					 management unit has been reduced by an organic destruction or removal process
					 that achieves any one of the following conditions:
(i) A process that removes or destroys the
					 organics contained in the hazardous waste to a level such that the average VO
					 concentration of the hazardous waste at the point of waste treatment is less
					 than the exit concentration limit (Ct) established for
					 the process. The average VO concentration of the hazardous waste at the point
					 of waste treatment and the exit concentration limit for the process shall be
					 determined using the procedures specified in § 265.1084(b) of this
					 subpart.
(ii) A process that
					 removes or destroys the organics contained in the hazardous waste to a level
					 such that the organic reduction efficiency (R) for the process is equal to or
					 greater than 95 percent, and the average VO concentration of the hazardous
					 waste at the point of waste treatment is less than 100 ppmw. The organic
					 reduction efficiency for the process and the average VO concentration of the
					 hazardous waste at the point of waste treatment shall be determined using the
					 procedures specified in § 265.1084(b) of this subpart.
(iii) A process that removes or destroys the
					 organics contained in the hazardous waste to a level such that the actual
					 organic mass removal rate (MR) for the process is equal to or greater than the
					 required organic mass removal rate (RMR) established for the process. The
					 required organic mass removal rate and the actual organic mass removal rate for
					 the process shall be determined using the procedures specified in §
					 265.1084(b) of this subpart.
(iv) A
					 biological process that destroys or degrades the organics contained in the
					 hazardous waste, such that either of the following conditions is met:
(A) The organic reduction efficiency (R) for
					 the process is equal to or greater than 95 percent, and the organic
					 biodegradation efficiency (Rbio) for the process is
					 equal to or greater than 95 percent. The organic reduction efficiency and the
					 organic biodegradation efficiency for the process shall be determined using the
					 procedures specified in § 265.1084(b) of this subpart.
(B) The total actual organic mass
					 biodegradation rate (MRbio) for all hazardous waste
					 treated by the process is equal to or greater than the required organic mass
					 removal rate (RMR). The required organic mass removal rate and the actual
					 organic mass biodegradation rate for the process shall be determined using the
					 procedures specified in § 265.1084(b) of this subpart.
(v) A process that removes or
					 destroys the organics contained in the hazardous waste and meets all of the
					 following conditions:
(A) From the point of
					 waste origination through the point where the hazardous waste enters the
					 treatment process, the hazardous waste is managed continuously in waste
					 management units which use air emission controls in accordance with the
					 standards specified in § 265.1085 through § 265.1088 of this subpart,
					 as applicable to the waste management unit.
(B) From the point of waste origination
					 through the point where the hazardous waste enters the treatment process, any
					 transfer of the hazardous waste is accomplished through continuous hard-piping
					 or other closed system transfer that does not allow exposure of the waste to
					 the atmosphere. The state department of health considers a drain system that
					 meets the requirements of 40 CFR part 63 , subpart RR-National Emission
					 Standards for Individual Drain Systems to be a closed system.
(C) The average VO concentration of the
					 hazardous waste at the point of waste treatment is less than the lowest average
					 VO concentration at the point of waste origination determined for each of the
					 individual waste streams entering the process or 500 ppmw, whichever value is
					 lower. The average VO concentration of each individual waste stream at the
					 point of waste origination shall be determined using the procedures specified
					 in § 265.1084(a) of this subpart. The average VO concentration of the
					 hazardous waste at the point of waste treatment shall be determined using the
					 procedures specified in § 265.1084(b) of this subpart.
(vi) A process that removes or
					 destroys the organics contained in the hazardous waste to a level such that the
					 organic reduction efficiency (R) for the process is equal to or greater than 95
					 percent and the owner or operator certifies that the average VO concentration
					 at the point of waste origination for each of the individual waste streams
					 entering the process is less than 10,000 ppmw. The organic reduction efficiency
					 for the process and the average VO concentration of the hazardous waste at the
					 point of waste origination shall be determined using the procedures specified
					 in § 265.1084(b) and § 265.1084(a) of this subpart,
					 respectively.
(vii) A hazardous
					 waste incinerator for which the owner or operator has either:
(A) Been issued a final permit under 40 CFR
					 part 270 [federal] which implements the requirements of 40 CFR part 264 ,
					 subpart O [federal] or a state hazardous waste management permit under chapter
					 11-270.1 which implements the requirements of 40 C.F.R. part 264 , subpart O,
					 as incorporated and amended in section 11264.1-1; or
(B) Has designed and operates the incinerator
					 in accordance with the interim status requirements of subpart O of this
					 part.
(viii) A boiler or
					 industrial furnace for which the owner or operator has either:

					 part 270 [federal] which implements the requirements of 40 CFR part 266 ,
					 subpart H [federal] or a state hazardous waste management permit under chapter
					 11-270.1 which implements the requirements of 40 C.F.R. part 266 , subpart H,
					 as incorporated and amended in section 11266.1-1; or
(B) Has designed and operates the boiler or
					 industrial furnace in accordance with the interim status requirements of 40 CFR
					 part 266 , subpart H.

					 performance of an organic destruction or removal process in accordance with the
					 conditions in each of paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(vi) of this section,
					 the owner or operator shall account for VO concentrations determined to be
					 below the limit of detection of the analytical method by using the following VO
					 concentration:
(A) If Method 25D in 40 CFR
					 part 60 , appendix A is used for the analysis, one-half the blank value
					 determined in the method at section 4.4 of Method 25D in 40 CFR part 60 ,
					 appendix A, or a value of 25 ppmw, whichever is less.
(B) If any other analytical method is used,
					 one-half the sum of the limits of detection established for each organic
					 constituent in the waste that has a Henry's law constant value at least 0.1
					 mole-fraction-in-the-gas-phase/mole-fraction-in-the-liquid-phase (0.1 Y/X)
					 [which can also be expressed as 1.8 × 10-6
					 atmospheres/gram-mole/m3] at 25 degrees
					 Celsius.
(3) A
					 tank or surface impoundment used for biological treatment of hazardous waste in
					 accordance with the requirements of paragraph (c)(2)(iv) of this
