Facility Address
Waste Description
Amoco Oil Company Wood River, Illinois
150 million gallons of DAF float from petroleum
								refining contained in four surge ponds after treatment with the Chemfix
								stabilization process. This waste contains USEPA hazardous waste number K048.
								This exclusion applies to the 150 million gallons of waste after chemical
								stabilization as long as the mixing ratios of the reagent with the waste are
								monitored continuously and do not vary outside of the limits presented in the
								demonstration samples and one grab sample is taken each hour from each
								treatment unit, composited, and TCLP tests performed on each sample. If the
								levels of lead or total chromium exceed 0.5 ppm in the EP extract, then the
								waste that was processed during the compositing period is considered hazardous;
								the treatment residue must be pumped into bermed cells to ensure that the waste
								is identifiable in the event that removal is necessary.
Conversion Systems, Inc. Horsham, Pennsylvania
								(Sterling, Illinois operations)
Chemically stabilized electric arc furnace dust
								(CSEAFD) that is generated by Conversion Systems, Inc. (CSI) (using the Super
								Detox® treatment process, as modified by CSI to
								treat electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) (USEPA hazardous waste no. K061)), at
								the following site and which is disposed of in a RCRA Subtitle D municipal
								solid waste landfill (MSWLF): Northwestern Steel, Sterling, Illinois.
CSI must implement a testing program for each site
								that meets the following conditions:
1. Verification testing requirements: Sample
								collection and analyses, including quality control procedures, must be
								performed using appropriate methods. As applicable to the method-defined
								parameters of concern, analyses requiring the use of methods in "Test Methods
								for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods", USEPA publication
								number EPA-530/SW-846,incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
								720.111(a),
								must be used without substitution. As applicable, the EPA-530/SW-846 methods
								might include Methods 0010, 0011, 0020, 0023A, 0030, 0031, 0040, 0050, 0051,
								0060, 0061, 1010A, 1020B, 1110A, 1310B, 1311, 1312, 1320, 1330A, 9010C, 9012B,
								9040C, 9045D, 9060A, 9070A (uses USEPA Method 1664, Rev. A), 9071B, and
								9095B.
A. Initial verification testing: During
								the first 20 days of full-scale operation of a newly-constructed Super
								Detox® treatment facility, CSI must analyze a
								minimum of four composite samples of CSEAFD representative of the full 20-day
								period. Composite samples must be composed of representative samples collected
								from every batch generated. The CSEAFD samples must be analyzed for the
								constituents listed in condition 3 below. CSI must report the operational and
								analytical test data, including quality control information, obtained during
								this initial period no later than 60 days after the generation of the first
								batch of CSEAFD.
B. Addition of new Super
								Detox® treatment facilities to the
								exclusion:
Option 1: If USEPA approves additional
								facilities, CSI may petition the Board for identical-in substance amendment of
								this exclusion pursuant to Section 22.4 for the Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102
								and
								720.120(a),
								or
Option 2: If USEPA has not approved such
								amendment, CSI may petition the Board for amendment pursuant to the general
								rulemaking procedures of Section 27 of the Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102 and
								720.120(b);
								or
Option 3: Alternatively to options 1 or
								2 above, CSI may petition the Board for a hazardous waste delisting pursuant to
								Section 28.1 of the Act and Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 104 and 35 Ill. Adm.
								Code
								720.122.
If CSI pursues general rulemaking
								(option 2 above) or hazardous waste delisting (option 3 above), it must
								demonstrate that the CSEAFD generated by a specific Super
								Detox® treatment facility consistently meets the
								delisting levels specified in condition 3 below.
C. Subsequent verification testing: For
								the approved facility, CSI must collect and analyze at least one composite
								sample of CSEAFD each month. The composite samples must be composed of
								representative samples collected from all batches treated in each month. These
								monthly representative samples must be analyzed, prior to the disposal of the
								CSEAFD, for the constituents listed in condition 3 below. CSI may, at its
								discretion, analyze composite samples gathered more frequently to demonstrate
								that smaller batches of waste are non-hazardous.
2. Waste holding and handling: CSI must store as
								hazardous all CSEAFD generated until verification testing, as specified in
								condition 1A or 1C above, as appropriate, is completed and valid analyses
								demonstrate that condition 3 below is satisfied. If the levels of constituents
								measured in the samples of CSEAFD do not exceed the levels set forth in
								condition 3, then the CSEAFD is non-hazardous and may be disposed of in a RCRA
								Subtitle D municipal solid waste landfill. If constituent levels in a sample
								exceed any of the delisting levels set forth in condition 3 below, the CSEAFD
								generated during the time period corresponding to this sample must be retreated
								until it meets these levels or managed and disposed of as hazardous waste, in
								accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702 through 705, 720 through 728, 733, 738,
								and 739. CSEAFD generated by a new CSI treatment facility must be managed as a
								hazardous waste prior to the addition of the name and location of the facility
								to this exclusion pursuant to condition 1C above. After addition of the new
								facility to the exclusion pursuant to condition 1B above, CSEAFD generated
								during the verification testing in condition 1A is also non-hazardous if the
								delisting levels in condition 3 are satisfied.
3. Delisting levels: All leachable concentrations
								for metals must not exceed the following levels (in parts per million (ppm)):
								antimony - 0.06; arsenic - 0.50; barium - 7.6; beryllium - 0.010; cadmium -
								0.050; chromium - 0.33; lead - 0.15; mercury - 0.009; nickel - 1; selenium -
								0.16; silver - 0.30; thallium - 0.020; vanadium - 2; and zinc - 70. Metal
								concentrations must be measured in the waste leachate by the method specified
								in Section
								721.124.
4. Changes in operating conditions: After
								initiating subsequent testing, as described in condition 1C, if CSI
								significantly changes the stabilization process established pursuant to
								condition 1 (e.g., use of new stabilization reagents), CSI must seek amendment
								of this exclusion using one of the options set forth in condition 1B above.
								After written amendment of this exclusion, CSI may manage CSEAFD wastes
								generated from the new process as non-hazardous if the wastes meet the
								delisting levels set forth in condition 3 above.
5. Data submittals: At least one month prior to
								operation of a new Super Detox® treatment
								facility, CSI must notify the Agency in writing when the Super
								Detox® treatment facility is scheduled to be
								on-line. The data obtained through condition 1A must be submitted to the Agency
								within the time period specified. Records of operating conditions and
								analytical data from condition 1 must be compiled, summarized, and maintained
								on site for a minimum of five years. These records and data must be furnished
								to the Agency upon request and made available for inspection. Failure to submit
								the required data within the specified time period or to maintain the required
								records on site for the specified time will be considered a violation of the
								Act and Board regulations. All data submitted must be accompanied by a signed
								copy of the following certification statement to attest to the truth and
								accuracy of the data submitted:
"Under civil and criminal penalty of law
								for the making or submission of false or fraudulent statements or
								representations, I certify that the information contained in or accompanying
								this document is true, accurate, and complete.
"As to (those) identified section(s) of
								this document for which I cannot personally verify its (their) truth and
								accuracy, I certify as the company official having supervisory responsibility
								for the persons who, acting under my direct instructions, made the verification
								that this information is true, accurate, and complete.
"In the event that any of this
								information is determined by the Board or a court of law to be false,
								inaccurate, or incomplete, and upon conveyance of this fact to the company, I
								recognize and agree that this exclusion of waste will be void as if it never
								had effect or to the extent directed by the Board or court and that the company
								will be liable for any actions taken in contravention of the company's
								obligations under the federal RCRA and Comprehensive Environmental Response,
								Compensation and Liability Act (
								42
								USC 9601 et seq.) and corresponding
								provisions of the Act premised upon the company's reliance on the void
								exclusion."
BOARD NOTE: The obligations of this exclusion are derived
						from but also distinct from the obligations under the corresponding
						federally-granted exclusion of table 2 of appendix IX to
						40 CFR
						261.
