Nebraska Administrative Code › Topic - ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY › Title 128 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Chapter 20c - STANDARDS FOR UNIVERSAL WASTE MANAGEMENT › Section 128-20c-012 - Universal Treatment Standards

Current through June 17, 2024
012.01 Table 12 - Universal Treatment
  Standards 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
002.09
, 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 12.

Footnotes to Universal Treatment Standards Table: NA means Not
	 Applicable
1 CAS means Chemical Abstract Services. When
	 the waste code and/or regulated constituents are described as a combination of
	 a chemical with its salts and/or esters, the CAS number is given for the parent
	 compound only.
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 Chapter 21,
015
or Chapter 22,
015
, 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 Section
009
. 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
9010C
or
9012B
, found in
	 "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods", EPA
	 Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in Chapter 1, 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 Section
002.09
.
6 Between August 26, 1996, and March 4,
	 1998, these constituents are not "underlying hazardous constituents" as defined
	 in Section
002.09
.
7 This constituent is not an underlying
	 hazardous constituent as defined in Section
002.09
because its UTS level is greater than its TC level, thus a treated selenium
	 waste would always be characteristically hazardous, unless it is treated to
	 below its characteristic level.
8 This standard is temporarily deferred for
	 soil exhibiting a hazardous characteristic due to D004-D011
	 only.
