Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 11 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Subtitle 1 - GENERAL DEPARTMENTAL PROVISIONS › Chapter 268 - HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT LAND DISPOSAL RESTRICTIONS › Subchapter D - TREATMENT STANDARDS › Section 11-268-48 - Universal treatment standards

Current through June, 2024
(a) Table UTS
				  identifies the hazardous constituents, along with the nonwastewater and
				  wastewater treatment standard levels, that are used to regulate most prohibited
				  hazardous wastes with numerical limits. For determining compliance with
				  treatment standards for underlying hazardous constituents as defined in section
				  11-268-2(i), these treatment standards may not be exceeded. Compliance with
				  these treatment standards is measured by an analysis of grab samples, unless
				  otherwise noted in the following Table UTS.
Universal Treatment Standard
(Note: NA means not applicable.)
Regulated constituent/common name

Footnotes to Universal Treatment Standards Table:
1 CAS means Chemical Abstract
					 Services. When the waste code and/or regulated constituents are described as a
					 combination of a chemical with it's salts and/or esters, the CAS number is
					 given for the parent compound only.44
2 Concentration standards for
					 wastewaters are expressed in mg/l and are based on analysis of composite
					 samples.
3 Except for Metals (EP or TCLP) and
					 Cyanides (Total and Amenable) the nonwastewater treatment standards expressed
					 as a concentration were established, in part, based upon incineration in units
					 operated in accordance with the technical requirements of 40 CFR part 264,
					 Subpart O or 40 CFR part 265, Subpart O, or based upon combustion in fuel
					 substitution units operating in accordance with applicable technical
					 requirements. A facility may comply with these treatment standards according to
					 provisions in §268.40(d). All concentration standards for nonwastewaters
					 are based on analysis of grab samples.
4 Both Cyanides (Total) and Cyanides
					 (Amenable) for nonwastewaters are to be analyzed using Method 9010 or 9012,
					 found in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods",
					 EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in
					 40 CFR
					 260.11, with a sample size of 10 grams and a
					 distillation time of one hour and 15 minutes.
5 These constituents are not
					 "underlying hazardous constituents" in characteristic wastes, according to the
					 definition at §268.2(i).
6 Between August 26, 1997, and
					 August 26, 1998, these constituents are not "underlying hazardous constituents"
					 as defined at §268.2(i).
