  • 6.0 Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Unit Process
    6.0 Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Units 6.1 Introduction This section discusses the requirements of RCRA and the State of Washington Hazardous Waste Management Act, Chapter 70.105 RCW, and pertains to all units that were used to store, treat, or dispose of (1) RCRA hazardous waste and hazardous constituents after November 19, 1980; (2) State-only hazardous waste after March 12, 1982; or (3) mixed waste after August 19, 1987; and units at which such wastes will be stored, treated, or disposed in the future, except as provided by 173 303 200 WAC. A list of these units, or grouping of units, is provided in Appendix B. Section 3.0 identifies the criteria by which these units will be scheduled for permitting and closure actions. Some of the TSD groups/units (primarily land disposal units) have been included in operable units, as discussed in Section 3.3.1 The information necessary for performing RCRA closures within an operable unit will be provided in coordination with various past-practice documents. These documents will include a coordinated past practice site investigation/RCRA closure/RCRA corrective action approach in order to implement applicable regulations pursuant to Section 5.5. Some of the TSD groups/units (primarily those located within large processing facilities) will be integrated with the disposition of the facility, and therefore closed in accordance with the process defined in Section 8.0. These units are those that have physical closure actions that need to be done in conjunction with the physical disposition actions in the facility (e. g. removal of structural components).

  • Apr 112014 Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460 APR 112014 OFFICE OF SOLID WASTE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) Requirements ' . FROM: Barnes Johnson, Director t{) t~t.~~ Office of Resource Conservation an o ery TO: Regional RCRA Division Directors if Regional Superfund Division Directors Regional Enforcement Division Directors Questions have been raised on whether hazardous wastes that are prohibited from land disposal can be temporarily put or placed in or on a landfill (or on synthetic material in or on a landfill) before it is confirmed that the waste meets the applicable LDR treatment standards. In short, the answer is prohibited wastes (wastes that do not meet the applicable treatment standard) cannot be placed in or on land disposal units unless the unit satisfies the statutory no-migration standards. Thus, if a prohibited waste is placed in or on a land disposal unit before it is confirmed that the waste meets the treatment standard, and it turns out that the waste did not meet the standard, then the disposal is illegal unless the disposal unit is an approved no migration unit. The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSW A), enacted on November 8, 1984, largely prohibit land disposal of hazardous wastes. After a waste is prohibited from land disposal, the statute provides two options: before land disposal occurs, comply with a specified treatment standard which minimizes threats to human health and the environment, or, dispose of the waste in an approved "no migration" unit. 1 Land disposal is the placement of waste in or on the land and includes, but is not limited to, any placement of hazardous waste into a landfill, surface impoundment, waste pile, injection well, land treatment facility, salt dome formation, salt bed formation, or underground mine or cave.
