Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a)
(1) Before an owner or operator treats,
				  stores, or disposes of any hazardous wastes, or nonhazardous wastes if
				  applicable under 264.113(d), he must obtain a detailed chemical and physical
				  analysis of a representative sample of the wastes. At a minimum, the analysis
				  must contain all the information which must be known to treat, store, or
				  dispose of the waste in accordance with the requirements of this regulation or
				  with the conditions of a permit issued under R.61-79.268, .270, Subparts A and
				  B, and R.61-79.124. (amended 11/90)
(2) The analysis may include data developed
				  under R.61-79.261, and existing published or documented data on the hazardous
				  waste or on hazardous waste generated from similar processes.
Comment: For example, the facility's records of analyses
					 performed on the waste before the effective date of these regulations, or
					 studies conducted on hazardous waste generated from processes similar to that
					 which generated the waste to be managed at the facility, may be included in the
					 data base required to comply with paragraph (a)(1). The owner or operator of an
					 offsite facility may arrange for the generator of the hazardous waste to supply
					 part or all of the information required by paragraph (a)(1) except as otherwise
					 specified in 268.7(b) and (c). If the generator does not supply the
					 information, and the owner or operator chooses to accept a hazardous waste, the
					 owner or operator is responsible for obtaining the information required to
					 comply with this section.
(3) The analysis must be repeated as
				  necessary to ensure that it is accurate and up to date. At a minimum, the
				  analysis must be repeated:
(i) When the owner
				  or operator is notified, or has reason to believe, that the process or
				  operation generating the hazardous waste or non-hazardous waste if applicable
				  under 264.113 (d) has changed; and
(ii) For offsite facilities, when the results
				  of the inspection required in paragraph (a)(4) indicate that the hazardous
				  waste received at the facility does not match the waste designated on the
				  accompanying manifest or shipping paper.
(4) The owner or operator of an offsite
				  facility must inspect and, if necessary, analyze each hazardous waste movement
				  received at the facility to determine whether it matches the identity of the
				  waste specified on the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) The owner or
				  operator must prevent the unknowing entry, and minimize the possibility for the
				  unauthorized entry, of persons or livestock onto the active portion of his
				  facility, unless he can demonstrate to the Department that:
(1) Physical contact with the waste,
				  structures, or equipment within the active portion of the facility will not
				  injure unknowing or unauthorized persons or livestock which may enter the
				  active portion of a facility; and
(2) Disturbance of the waste or equipment, by
				  the unknowing or unauthorized entry of persons or livestock onto the active
				  portion of a facility, will not cause a violation of the requirements of this
				  part.
[Comment: R.61-79.270 requires an owner or operator who
					 wishes to make the demonstration referred to above must do so with Part B of
					 the permit application issued under these regulations.]

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) The owner or operator must inspect his
				  facility for malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors, and discharges
				  which may be causing-or may lead to-(1) release of hazardous waste constituents
				  to the environment or (2) a threat to human health. The owner or operator must
				  conduct these inspections often enough to identify problems in time to correct
				  them before they harm human health or the environment.
(b)
(1) The
				  owner or operator must develop and follow a written schedule for inspecting
				  monitoring equipment, safety and emergency equipment, security devices, and
				  operating and structural equipment (such as dikes and sump pumps) that are
				  important to preventing, detecting, or responding to environmental or human
				  health hazards.
(2) He must keep
				  this schedule at the facility.
(3)
				  The schedule must identify the types of problems (e.g., malfunctions or
				  deterioration) which are to be looked for during the inspection (e.g.,
				  inoperative sump pump, leaking fitting, eroding dike, etc.).
(4) The frequency of inspection may vary for
				  the items on the schedule. However, the frequency should be based on the rate
				  of deterioration of the equipment and the probability of an environmental or
				  human health incident if the deterioration, malfunction, or any operator error
				  goes undetected between inspections. Areas subject to spills, such as loading
				  and unloading areas, must be inspected daily when in use. At a minimum, the
				  inspection schedule must include the items and frequencies called for in
				  R.61-79.264.174, 264.193, 264.195, 264.226, 264.254, 264.278, 264.303, 264.347,
				  264.602, 264.1033, 264.1052, 264.1053, 264.1058, and 264.1083 through 264.1089
				  where applicable. R.61-79.270 requires the inspection schedule to be submitted
				  with part B of the permit application. The Department will evaluate the
				  schedule along with the rest of the application to ensure that it adequately
				  protects human health and the environment. As part of this review, the
				  Department may modify or amend the schedule as may be necessary.

				  program includes all the elements described in the document required under
				  paragraph (d) (3).
[Comment: Part 270 requires that owners and operators
					 submit with Part B of the permit application, an outline of the training
					 program used (or to be used) at the facility and a brief description of how the
					 training program is designed to meet actual job tasks.]
(2) This program must be directed by a person
				  trained in hazardous waste management procedures, and must include instruction
				  which teaches facility personnel hazardous waste management procedures
				  (including contingency plan implementation) relevant to the positions in which
				  they are employed.
(3) At a
				  minimum, the training program must be designed to ensure that facility
				  personnel are able to respond effectively to emergencies by familiarizing them
				  with emergency procedures, emergency equipment, and emergency systems,

				  29 CFR
				  1910.120(p)(8) and
				  1910.120(q),

				  smoking, cutting and welding, hot surfaces, frictional heat, sparks (static,
				  electrical, or mechanical), spontaneous ignition (e.g., from heat-producing
				  chemical reactions), and radiant heat. While ignitable or reactive waste is
				  being handled, the owner or operator must confine smoking and open flame to
				  specially designated locations. "No Smoking" signs must be conspicuously placed
				  wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste.
(b) Where specifically required by other
				  Sections of this regulation, the owner or operator of a facility that treats,
				  stores or disposes ignitable or reactive waste, or mixes incompatible waste or
				  incompatible wastes and other materials, must take precautions to prevent
				  reactions which:
(1) Generate extreme heat or
				  pressure, fire or explosions, or violent reactions;
(2) Produce uncontrolled toxic mists, fumes,
				  dusts, or gases in sufficient quantities to threaten human health or the
				  environment;
(3) Produce
				  uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities to pose a risk
				  of fire or explosions;

					 this groundwater protection standard in the facility permit when hazardous
					 constituents have been detected in the groundwater. (amended
