SECTION 4
HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
U.S. TEAM Guide, March 2001
A. Applicability
This section applies to facilities and activities that generate, store, transport, treat, or dispose of any type of
hazardous waste. This section and its associated checklists are more complex than other sections in this volume. Not
all checklist items will be applicable to a given facility or activity. Guidance is provided on the checklists to direct
the assessor to the regulations concerning the type of hazardous waste activities/facilities at the facility or activity.
Information on hazardous waste storage tanks is in the section titled Storage Tank Management.
Assessors are required to review state and local regulations and, if applicable, the appropriate Agency Supplement,
to perform a comprehensive assessment.
Select portions of this section (i.e., Review of Federal Legislation, State and Local Regulations, Key Compliance
Requirements, Key Terms and Definitions, Typical Records to Review, Typical Physical Features to Inspect, and the
Checklist) have been reviewed by USEPA personnel from the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance
(OECA) and USEPA's Office of General Counsel. USEPA's comments and suggestions for changes have been
incorporated in this version of the TEAM Guide. USEPA did not review all portions of this section. USEPA also
did not review and comment on items pertaining to federal Executive Orders, DOT regulations, OSHA regulations or
any other area outside of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Portions which have been added or revised as
a result of this review are identified as either being reviewed, revised or added in March 2000, for example [Added
March 2000].
B. Federal Legislation
• The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). RCRA of 1976, which amended the Solid Waste
Disposal Act, addresses nonhazardous (Subtitle D) and hazardous (Subtitle C) waste management activities. The
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984 strengthened RCRA’s waste management provisions
and added Subtitle I, which governs underground storage tanks (USTs). This section addresses Subtitle C
requirements. See Solid Waste Management for Subtitle D requirements and Storage Tank Management for
Subtitle I requirements [Revised March 2000].
Regulations promulgated pursuant to Subtitle C of RCRA (40 CFR 260 through 299) establish a “cradle-to-grave”
system governing hazardous waste from the point of generation to disposal. RCRA hazardous wastes include the
specific materials listed in the regulations (commercial chemical products designated with the code "P" or "U",
hazardous wastes from specific industries/sources designated with the code "K", or hazardous wastes from
non-specific sources, designated with the code "F") or materials that exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic
(ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity and designated with the code "D").
Regulated entities that generate hazardous waste are subject to waste accumulation, manifesting, and record
keeping standards. Facilities generally must obtain a permit either from U.S. EPA or from a state agency that U.S.
EPA has authorized to implement the permitting program if they store hazardous wastes for more than 90 days
before treatment or disposal. Facilities may operate less- than-90-day tanks or containers of hazardous wastes
without a permit. Subtitle C permits contain general facility standards, such as contingency plans, emergency
procedures, record keeping and reporting requirements, financial assurance mechanisms, and unit-specific
standards. RCRA also contains provisions (40 CFR 264, Subpart S and Section 264.101) for conducting
corrective actions that govern the cleanup of releases of hazardous waste or constituents from solid waste
management units at RCRA treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.
4-1
Hazardous Waste
Many operations and organizations may have numerous operations that result in the generation and management
of different types of solid and hazardous waste. These operations may be subject to specific parts of RCRA,
depending on the type of waste generated, its management (e.g., stored, transported), and its disposal. Most
RCRA requirements are not industry specific but apply to any entity that generates, transports, treats, stores, or
disposes of hazardous waste. The following are some important RCRA regulatory requirements:

Identification of Solid and Hazardous Wastes (40 CFR 261) delineates the procedure every
generator must follow in determining whether the material in question is considered a hazardous waste
or solid waste or is exempted from regulation.

Standards for Generators of Hazardous Waste (40 CFR 262) establish the responsibilities of
hazardous waste generators. These include obtaining a U.S. EPA identification number, preparing a
manifest, ensuring proper packaging and labeling, meeting standards for waste accumulation units, and
meeting record keeping and reporting requirements. Providing they meet additional requirements
described in 40 CFR 262.34, generators may accumulate hazardous waste for up to 90 days (or 180 or
270 days depending on the amount of waste generated and the distance the waste will be transported).

Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) (40 CFR 268) are regulations prohibiting the disposal of
hazardous waste on land without prior treatment. Under the LDR program, materials must meet LDR
treatment standards prior to placement in a RCRA land disposal unit (landfill, land treatment unit,
waste pile, or surface impoundment). Generators of waste subject to the LDR must provide notification
of such to the designated TSD facility to ensure proper treatment prior to disposal.

Used Oil Management Standards (40 CFR 279) impose management requirements affecting the
storage, transportation, burning, processing, and re-refining of the used oil. For parties that merely
generate used oil, regulations establish storage standards. For a party considered a used oil processor,
re-refiner, burner, or marketer (one who generates and sells off-specification used oil directly to a used
oil burner), additional tracking and paperwork requirements must be satisfied. These requiremens are
addressed in the section titled POL Management.

Tanks and Containers, as well as any unit, used to store, treat, or dispose of hazardous waste, are
regulated under RCRA. Tanks and containers used to store hazardous waste with a high volatile
organic concentration must meet emission standards under RCRA. Regulations (40 CFR 264-265,
Subpart CC) require generators to test the waste to determine the concentration of the waste, to satisfy
tank and container emissions standards, and to inspect and monitor regulated units. These regulations
apply to all facilities that store such waste, including large quantity generators accumulating waste prior
to shipment off-site. Storage tanks are addressed in the section titled Storage Tank Management.

Boilers and Industrial Furnaces (BIFs) that use or burn fuel containing hazardous waste must comply
with design and operating standards. BIF regulations (40 CFR 266, Subpart H) address unit design,
provide performance standards, require emissions monitoring, and restrict the type of waste that may be
burned.
• The Federal Facility Compliance Act (FFCA) of 1992. This act provides for a waiver of sovereign immunity with
respect to Federal, state, and local procedural and substantive requirements relating to RCRA solid and hazardous
waste laws and regulations. Additionally, it defines hazardous waste in relation to public vessels, expands the
definition of mixed waste, addresses the issue of munitions, and discusses waste discharges to Federally owned
treatment works (FOTWs).
• Executive Order (EO) 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards. This EO, dated 13 October 1978,
requires Federally owned and operated facilities to comply with applicable Federal, state, and local pollution
control standards. It makes the head of each executive agency responsible for seeing to it that the agencies,
4-2
Hazardous Waste
facilities, programs, and activities the agency funds meet applicable Federal, state, and local environmental
requirements and for correcting situations that are not in compliance with such requirements. In addition, the EO
requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental compliance are included in the agency
budget.
C. State/Local Regulations
For information on regulations in specific states, see the State Supplements to TEAM Guide.
Most states have met the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requirements in 40 CFR 271 and have
been delegated USEPA authority to administer RCRA requirements. RCRA encourages states to develop their own
hazardous waste statutes and to operate regulatory programs. Many states have adopted the USEPA regulations by
reference or have promulgated regulations that are identical to the USEPA regulations; other states have promulgated
regulations stricter than the Federal RCRA. These differences between individual state regulations and the federal
program require that assessors check the status of the state’s authorization and then determine which regulations
apply. Because the section checklists are based exclusively on the requirements of the Federal RCRA/ USEPA
program, it is necessary to determine in what ways the applicable state program differs from the RCRA/USEPA
program.
D. Key Compliance Requirements
• Generator Requirements - Responsibilities are based on the amount of waste being generated in 1 mo. Typical
wastes include solvents, paint, contaminated antifreeze or oil, and sludges. In some states, waste oil and other
substances have been classified as a hazardous waste and therefore need to be included in the total amount of
waste being generated. Within Federal regulations there are three classifications:
1. A conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG) produces no more than 100 kg [ 220 lb] of
hazardous waste and no more than 1 kg [ 2 lb] of acute hazardous waste in any calendar month. They
cannot generate more than 100 kg [ 220 lb] in one month of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or
other debris from the clean-up of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes.
They also do not accumulate onsite more than 1000 kg [ 2205 lb] of hazardous waste and no more than 1
kg [ 2 lb] of acute hazardous waste at any one time. When either the volume of waste produced in 1 mo
exceeds 100 kg [ 220 lb] of nonacutely hazardous waste or more than 1 kg [ 2 lb] of acutely hazardous
waste or more than 1000 kg [ 2205 lb] of waste has accumulated onsite, the CESQG is required to
comply with the more stringent standards applicable to a small quantity generator (SQG) or a Generator.
2. An SQG produces between 100 [ 220 lb] and 1000 kg [ 2205 lb] of hazardous waste and no more than
1 kg [ 2 lb] acute hazardous waste in any calendar month. They cannot generate more than 100 kg [ 220
lb] in one month of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris from the clean-up of a spill,
into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes. The waste cannot accumulate onsite for more
than 180 days unless the waste must be transported more than 200 mi to a treatment, storage, or disposal
facility (TSDF). In that situation, the waste can accumulate for 270 days. But at no time is there to be
more than 6000 kg [ 13,228 lb] of waste accumulated at the SQG. When the accumulation time onsite is
exceeded, or more than 6000 kg [ 13,228 lb] of waste is onsite, the SQG is required to obtain a permit
and comply with the standards in 40 CFR 264 and 265.
3. A Generator produces 1000 kg [ 2205 lb] or more of hazardous waste or more than 1 kg [ 2 lb] acute
hazardous waste in any calendar month. This classification is sometimes referred to as a large quantity
generator.
(NOTE: Using water, which weighs 8.34 lb/gal, as a basis of measurement, 100 kg [ 220 lb] would
equal  27 gal and 1000 kg [ 2205 lb] would equal  265 gal.)
4-3
Hazardous Waste
Whether the facility is a CESQG, an SQG, or a Generator determines the type of records they are required
to keep and design standards for storage areas. Storage areas connected with a generation point are often
referred to as a satellite accumulation points.
Regardless of the amount of hazardous waste generated, every facility is required to test or use knowledge
of materials or processes used to determine if it is a listed hazardous waste or has hazardous
characteristics.

* Unless the waste is reclaimed under contractual agreement and properly marked and labeled.
• Transport Requirements - Containers of hazardous waste shipped offsite must be labeled to identify the waste and
its hazard class. Transporters of hazardous waste required to be manifested must have an USEPA identification
number and must comply with manifest management requirements.
• Accumulation Point Management - An accumulation point is an area where hazardous waste is accumulated or
stored before being turned in for disposal. Storage in these areas is temporary, and the permissible length of time
for accumulation depends on generator classification.
• Satellite Accumulation Point Management - A satellite accumulation point is an area at which no more than 55 gal
of a hazardous waste or 1 qt of acute hazardous waste is accumulated at or near the point of generation. The
satellite accumulation point is under the control of one operator of the process generating the waste. When the 55
4-4
Hazardous Waste
gal limit is reached the operator has 3 days to move the waste to a 90-day storage area or a permitted TSDF.
These standards only apply to an SQG or a Generator.
• Universal Wastes - These requirements apply to batteries, pesticides, and thermostats as defined in 40 CFR 273.
They are alternate standards for the handling of these wastes instead of the requirements found in 40 CFR 260
through 272. Handlers can be classified as either a large quantity handler of universal waste (5000 kg [ 11,111
lb] or more in 1 yr) or a small quantity handler of universal waste (less than 5000 kg [ 11,111 lb] in 1 yr).
Depending on classification, the handler has to meet requirements concerning management of the waste, marking
and labeling, notifications, and transportation. Additionally, there are standards for universal waste transporters
and universal waste destination facilities (40 CFR 273). These regulations are only effective upon adoption by the
state RCRA program, except in those areas without an authorized program.
• Permitted TSDF Requirements - The operation of a TSDF is subject to regulation and permitting under Federal
and state regulations. These regulations are both administrative and technical in nature. The administrative
standards require that various plans be developed to ensure that emergencies can be dealt with, waste received is
properly identified, and operating personnel are adequately trained to operate the TSDF and respond to
emergencies. These administrative standards also include requirements that the TSDF be inspected routinely,
records of operations are compiled and maintained, and reports of both routine and contingency operations are
made to the applicable regulatory agency. The administrative standards also require that a plan for ceasing
operations and closing the TSDF be developed, kept on hand, and updated frequently.
The technical standards that are applicable to TSDFs fall into two classes: general standards that apply to all
TSDFs and specific standards that apply to various types of facilities, i.e., container storage areas, tanks,
containment buildings, surface impoundments, waste piles, land treatment facilities, incinerators, landfills, thermal
treatment facilities, and chemical, physical, and biological treatment facilities.
Administrative and technical standards are applied to a particular facility through a RCRA permit issued to a
facility. Existing TSDFs that have applied for a permit but not yet been issued a RCRA permit are considered to
be in interim status if they applied for a part A and part B permit and can continue to operate if they comply with
the RCRA mandated interim status standards (ISS) of 40 CFR 265 (interim status standards for owners and
operators of hazardous waste TSDF).
• Ordnance - Under the provisions of 40 CFR 261.23(a)(6) through 261.23(a)(8) ordnance is classified as a reactive
hazardous waste. The open burning and detonation (OB/OD) of waste explosives is allowed at interim status
TSDFs as long as a minimum distance is kept from the property line of the property of others. The length of this
distance is based on the amount of explosive being OB/OD. For permitted TSDFs, OB/OD activities are
regulated by permit to operate a miscellaneous unit. This is often referred to as a Subpart X permit.
E. Key Compliance Definitions
• Active Life - the period from the initial receipt of hazardous waste at the facility until the Regional Administrator
receives certification of final closure (40 CFR 260.10).

or receive electrical energy. The term battery also includes an intact, unbroken battery from which the electrolyte
has been removed (40 CFR 260.10 and 273.9).
In relation to the concept of universal wastes, this term includes all batteries except the following (40 CFR
273.2(b)):
1. spent lead acid batteries that are managed under 40 CFR 266, Subpart G (reclamation of spent lead acid
batteries that are recyclable)
2. batteries as defined above that are not yet wastes under 40 CFR 261, including those that do not meet the
criteria for waste generation (see definition of Waste Battery)
3. batteries as defined above that are not hazardous waste. A battery is a hazardous waste if it exhibits one
or more of the characteristics identified in 40 CFR 261, Subpart C [Revised October 1999, Reviewed
March 2000].
See also the definition of waste battery.
• Boiler - an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion and having the following characteristics (40 CFR

applicable closure requirements (40 CFR 260.10).
• Closure Device - a cap, hatch, lid, plug, seal, valve, or other type of fitting that blocks an opening in a cover such
that when the device is secured in the closed position it prevents or reduces air pollutant emissions to the
atmosphere. Closure devices include devices that are detachable from the cover (e.g., a sampling port cap),
manually operated (e.g., hinged access lid or hatch), or automatically operated (e.g., a spring loaded pressure
relief valve) (40 CFR 265.1081).

Hazardous Waste
• Contingency Plan - a document setting out an organized, planned, and coordinated course of action to be followed
in case of a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents which could threaten
human health or the environment (40 CFR 260.10).
• Corrective Action Management Unit (CAMU) - an area within a facility that is designated by the Regional
Administrator under 40 CFR 264, subpart S, for the purpose of implementing corrective action requirements
under 264.101 and RCRA section 3008(h). A CAMU shall only be used for the management of remediation
wastes pursuant to implementing such corrective action requirements at the facility (40 CFR 262.10).
• Cover - a device that provides a continuous barrier over the hazardous waste managed in a unit to prevent or
reduce air pollutant emissions to the atmosphere. A cover may have openings (such as access hatches, sampling
ports, gauge wells) that are necessary for operation, inspection, maintenance, and repair of the unit on which the
cover is used. A cover may be a separate piece of equipment which can be detached and removed from the unit or
a cover may be formed by structural features permanently integrated into the design of the unit (40 CFR
265.1081).
• Debris - solid material exceeding a 60 mm particle size that is intended for disposal and that is (40 CFR 268.2):

small quantity handlers of universal waste batteries and thermostats, or a large quantity handlers of universal
waste batteries or thermostats. A facility at which a particular category of universal waste is only accumulated is
not a destination facility for the purposes of managing that category of universal waste (40 CFR 262.10 and 273.9)
[Revised October 1999, Reviewed March 2000].
• Detonation - an explosion in which chemical transformation passes through the material faster than the speed of
sound (0.33 km/s at sea level) (40 CFR 265.382).
• Dike - an embankment or ridge of either natural or manmade materials used to prevent the movement of liquids,
sludges, solids, or other materials (40 CFR 260.10).
• Discharge or Hazardous Waste Discharge - the accidental or intentional spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring,
emitting, emptying, or dumping of hazardous waste into or on any land or water (40 CFR 260.10).
• Disposal - the discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of any solid waste or hazardous
waste into or on any land or water so that such solid waste or hazardous waste or any constituent thereof may enter
the environment or be emitted into the air or discharged into any waters, including groundwaters (40 CFR
260.10).
4-7
Hazardous Waste
• Disposal Facility - a facility or part of a facility at which hazardous waste is intentionally placed into or on any
land or water, and at which waste will remain after closure. The term disposal facility does not include a
corrective action management unit into which remediation wastes are placed (40 CFR 260.10).
• Elementary Neutralization Unit - a device which (40 CFR 260.10):

container, and vents the captured vapors through a closed-vent system to a control device (40 CFR 265.1081).
• EPA Acknowledgment of Consent - the cable sent to the USEPA from the U.S. Embassy in a receiving country
that acknowledges the written consent of the receiving country to accept the hazardous waste and describes the
terms and conditions of the receiving country’s consent to the shipment (40 CFR 262.51).
• EPA Hazardous Waste Number - the number assigned by USEPA to each hazardous waste listed in 40 CFR 261,
Subpart D, and to each characteristic identified in 40 CFR 261, Subpart C (40 CFR 260.10).

Hazardous Waste
An unused military munition is a solid waste when any of the following occurs:
1. the munition is abandoned by being disposed of, burned, detonated (except during intended use),
incinerated, or treated prior to disposal
2. the munition is removed from storage in a military magazine or other storage area for the purpose of being
disposed of, burned, or incinerated, or treated prior to disposal; or
3. the munition is deteriorated or damaged (e.g., the integrity of the munition is compromised by cracks,
leaks, or other damage) to the point that it cannot be put into serviceable condition, and cannot reasonably
be recycled or used for other purposes
4. the munition has been declared a solid waste by an authorized military official.
A used or fired military munition is a solid waste:
1. when transported off range or from the site of use, where the site of use is not a range, for the purpose of
storage, reclamation, treatment, disposal, or treatment prior to disposal
2. if recovered, collected, and then disposed of by burial, or landfilling either on or off a range.

departments, hospitals, contractors, and state and local emergency response
teams as appropriate
names, addresses, and phone numbers of all persons qualified to act as
emergency coordinator
a list of all emergency equipment and where this equipment is required,
located, and what it looks like
an evacuation plan for personnel where there is a possibility evacuation would
be needed.
Verify that copies of the contingency plan are maintained at the generation sites
and storage areas and also have been submitted to organizations which may be
called upon to provide emergency services.
Verify that the contingency plan is routinely reviewed and updated, especially
when a new permit is issued, the plan fails in an emergency, the emergency
coordinators change, the waste being handled changes, and/or the list of
emergency equipment changes.

must have an emergency
coordinator on the premises or
on call at all times (40 CFR
262.34(a)(4) and 265.55).
Verify that, at all times, there is at least one employee on the premises or on call
with responsibility for coordinating all emergency response measures.
Verify that the emergency coordinator is thoroughly familiar with the LQG, the
characteristics of the waste handled, and the provisions of the contingency plan. In
addition, verify that the emergency coordinator has the authority to commit the
resources needed to carry out the contingency plan.

*** Aggressive biological treatment units are defined as units that employ one of the following treatment
methods: activated sludge; trickling filter; rotating biological contactor for the continuous accelerated biological
oxidation of wastewaters; or high-rate aeration. High-rate aeration is a system of surface impoundments or tanks,
in which intense mechanical aeration is used to completely mix the wastes, enhance biological activity, and (A)
the units employ a minimum of 6 hp per million gallons of treatment volume; and either (B) the hydraulic
retention time of the unit is no longer than 5 days; (C) the hydraulic retention time is no longer than 30 days and
the unit does not generate a sludge that is a hazardous waste by the toxicity characteristic.
NOTE: The listing of wastewaters that have not come into contact with process contaminants is stayed
administratively. The listing for plants that have previously used chlorophenolic formulations is administratively
stayed whenever these wastes are covered by the F032, F034 or F035 listings. These stays will remain in effect

Ignitable [Flammable/Combustible] Wastes*
* “Ignitable” in this context refers to substances with a flashpoint below 140× oF, and includes:
Combustible substances, with a flashpoint below 140× oF
Flammable substances, with a flashpoint below 100× oF.
Some Deadly Combinations
Acids + Oil or Grease = Fire Flammable Liquids + Hydrogen Peroxide = Fire/Explosion
Acids + Caustics = Heat/Spattering
Aluminum Powder + Ammonium Nitrate = Explosion
Caustics + Epoxies = Extreme Heats
Sodium Cyanide + Sulfuric Acid = Lethal Hydrogen Cyanide
Chlorine Gas + Acetylene = Explosion Ammonia + Bleach = Noxious Fumes
In general: Reactives must be segregated from Ignitables
Acids must be segregated from Caustics
Corrosives should be segregated from Flammables
Oxidizers should be segregated from EVERYTHING
Many Corrosives are “Water Reactive”

3. Concentration standards for wastewaters are expressed in mg/l and are based on analysis of composite samples.
4. All treatment standards expressed as a Technology Code or combination of Technology Codes are explained in detail in 40 CFR
268.42 Table 1-Technology Codes and Descriptions of Technology-Based Standards.
5. 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 40 CFR 268.40(d). All concentration standards for nonwastewaters are based on analysis of grab samples.
6. Where an alternate treatment standard or set of alternate standards has been indicated, a facility may comply with this alternate standard, but only for the
Treatment/Regulatory Subcategory or physical form (i.e., wastewater and/or nonwastewater) specified for that alternate standard.
7. 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 1 h and 15 min.
8. These wastes, when rendered nonhazardous and then subsequently managed in CWA, or CWA-equivalent systems are not subject to treatment standards. (See
Sec. 148.1(d) and Sec. 268.1(c)(3) and (4)).
9. These wastes, when rendered nonhazardous and then subsequently injected in a Class I SDWA well are not subject to treatment standards. (See Sec. 148.1(d)).
10. The treatment standard for this waste may be satisfied by either meeting the constituent concentrations in this table or by treating the waste by the specified
technologies: combustion, as defined by the technology code CMBST at Sec. 268.42 Table 1 of this Part, for nonwastewaters; and, biodegradation as defined by
the technology code BIODG, carbon adsorption as defined by the technology code CARBN, chemical oxidation as defined by the technology code CHOXD, or
combustion as defined as technology code CMBST at Sec. 268.42 Table 1 of this Part, for wastewaters.
11. For these wastes, the definition of CMBST is limited to: (1) combustion units operating under 40 CFR 266, (2) combustion units permitted under 40 CFR part
264, subpart O, or (3) combustion units operating under 40 CFR 265, subpart O, which have obtained a determination of equivalent treatment under 268.42(b).
12. Disposal of K175 wastes that have complied with all applicable 40 CFR 268.40 treatment standards must also be macroencapsulated in accordance with 40
CFR 268.45 Table 1 unless the waste is placed in:
(a) A Subtitle C monofill containing only K175 wastes that meet all applicable 40 CFR 268.40 treatment standards; or

(40 CFR 268.42)
Technology
code
ADGAS
Description of technology-based standards
Venting of compressed gases into an absorbing or reacting media (i.e., solid or liquid)-- venting
can be accomplished through physical release utilizing valves/piping; physical penetration of the
container; and/or penetration through detonation.
AMLGM
Amalgamation of liquid, elemental mercury contaminated with radioactive materials utilizing
inorganic reagents such as copper, zinc, nickel, gold, and sulfur that result in a nonliquid,
semisolid amalgam and thereby reducing potential emissions of elemental mercury vapors to the
air.
BIODG
Biodegradation of organics or nonorganics (i.e., degradable inorganics that contain the elements
of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur) in units operated under either aerobic or anaerobic
conditions such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has been substantially reduced
in concentration in the residuals (e.g., total organic carbon can often be used as an indicator
parameter for the biodegradation of many organic constituents that cannot be directly analyzed in
wastewater residues).
CARBN
Carbon adsorption (granulated or powered) of nonmetallic inorganics, organo-metallics, and/or
organic constituents, operated such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has not
undergone breakthrough (e.g., total organic carbon can often be used as an indicator parameter
for absorption of many organic constituents that cannot be directly analyzed in wastewater
residues). Breakthrough occurs when the carbon has become saturated with the constituent (or
indicator parameter) and substantial change in adsorption rate associated with that constituent
occurs.
CHOXD
Chemical or electrolytic oxidation utilizing the following oxidation reagents (or waste reagents)
or combinations of reagents: (1) hypochlorite (e.g., bleach); (2) chlorine; (3) chlorine dioxide;
(4) ozone or UV (ultraviolet light) assisted ozone; (5) peroxides; (6) persulfates; (7) perchlorates;
(8) permangantes; and/or (9) other oxidizing reagents of equivalent efficiency, performed in units
operated such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has been substantially reduced in
concentration in the residuals (e.g., total organic carbon can often be used as an indicator
parameter for the oxidation of many organic constituents that cannot be directly analyzed in
wastewater residues). Chemical oxidation specifically indicates what is commonly referred to as
alkaline chlorination.
CHRED
Chemical reduction utilizing the following reducing reagents (or waste reagents) or combinations
of reagents: (1) sulfur dioxide; (2) sodium, potassium, or alkali salts or sulfides, bisulfites,
metabisulfites, and polyethylene glycols (e.g., NaPEG and KPEG); (3) sodium hydrosulfide; (4)
ferrous salts; and/or (5) other reducing reagents of equivalent efficiency, performed in units
operated such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has been substantially reduced in
concentration in the residuals (e.g., total organic halogens can often be used as an indicator
parameter for the reduction of many halogenated organic constituents that cannot be directly
analyzed in wastewater residues). Chemical reduction is commonly used for the reduction of
hexavalent chromium to the trivalent state.
CMBST
Combustion in incinerators, boilers, or industrial furnaces operated in accordance with the
applicable requirements of 40 CFR 264, Subpart O, or 40 CFR 266, Subpart H.

resulting in an extract high in organics that must undergo either incineration, reuse as a fuel, or
other recovery/reuse and a raffinate (extracted liquid waste) proportionately low in organics that
must undergo further treatment as specified in the standard.
MACRO
Macroencapsulation with surface coating materials such as polymeric organic (e.g., resins and
plastics) or with a jacket or inert inorganic materials to substantially reduce surface exposure to
potential leaching media. Macroencapsulation specifically does not include any material that
would be classified as a tank or container according to 40:260.10.
NEUTRO
Neutralization with the following reagents (or waste reagents) or combination or reagents: (1)
acids; (2) bases; or (3) water (including wastewaters) resulting in a pH greater than 2 but less
than 12.5 as measured in the aqueous residuals.
NLDBR

Recovery of metals or inorganics utilizing one or more of the following direct physical/ removal
technologies: (1) ion exchange; (2) resin or solid (i.e., zeolites) adsorption; (3) reserve osmosis;
(40 chelation/solvent extraction; (5) freeze crystallization; (6) ultrafiltration and/or (7) simple
precipitation (i.e., crystallization). Note: This does not preclude the use of other physical phase
separation or concentration techniques such as decantation, filtration (including ultrafiltration),
and centrifugation, when used in conjunction with the above listed recovery technologies.
RORGS
Recovery of organics utilizing one or more of the following technologies: (1) Distillation; (2)
thin film evaporation; (3) steam stripping; (4) carbon adsorption; (5) critical fluid extraction; (6)
liquid-liquid extraction; (7) precipitation/crystallization (including freeze crystallization); or (8)
chemical phase separation techniques (i.e., addition of acids, bases, demulsifiers, or similar
chemicals). Note: This does not preclude the use of other physical phase separation techniques
such as a decantation, filtration (including ultrafiltration), and centrifugation, when used in
conjunction with the above listed recovery technologies.
RTHRM
Thermal recovery of metals or inorganics from nonwastewaters in units identified as industrial
furnaces according to 40 CFR 60.10 (1), (6), (7), (11), and (12) under the definition of “industrial
furnaces”.
RZINC
Resmelting in high temperature metal recovery units for the purpose of recovery of zinc.
STABL
Stabilization with the following reagents (or waste reagents) or combinations of reagents: (1)
Portland cement; or (2) lime/pozzolans (e.g., fly ash and cement kiln dust). Note: This does not
preclude the addition of reagents (e.g., iron slats, silicates, and clays) designed to enhance the
set/cure time and/or compressive strength, or to overall reduce the leachability of the metal or
inorganic.

Technology
code
SSTRP
Description of technology-based standards
Steam stripping of organics from liquid wastes utilizing direct application of steam to the wastes
operated such that liquid and vapor flow rates, as well as, temperature and pressure ranges have
been optimized, monitored, and maintained. These operating parameters are dependent upon the
design parameters of the unit, such as the number of separation stages and the internal column
design, thus resulting in a condensed extract high in organics that must undergo incineration,
reuse as a fuel, or other recovery/reuse and an extract wastewater that must undergo further
treatment as specified in the standard.
WETOX
Wet air oxidation performed in units such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has
been substantially reduced in concentration in the residuals (e.g., total organic carbon can often
be used as an indicator for the oxidation of many organic constituents that cannot be directly
analyzed in wastewater residues).
WTRRX
Controlled reaction with water for highly reactive inorganic or organic chemicals with
precautionary controls for protection of workers from potential violent reactions as well as
precautionary controls for potential emissions of toxic/ignitable levels of gases released during
the reaction.
Note 1: When a combination of these technologies (i.e., a treatment train) is specified as a single treatment
standard, the order of application is specified in 40 CFR 268.42, Table 2 by the five letter technology code that
must be applied first, then the designation “fb” (abbreviation for “followed by”), then the five letter technology
code for the technology that must be applied next, and so on.
Note 2: When more than one technology (or treatment train) is specified as alternative treatment standards, the five
letter technology codes (or the treatment trains) are separated by a semicolon (;), with the last technology preceded
by the word “or”. This indicates that any one of these BDAT technologies or treatment trains can be used for
compliance with the standard.

1The regulatory requirements pertain only to the list of substances; the right hand columns (Methods and PQL) are
given for informational pur poses only. See also footnotes 5 and 6.
2Common names are those widely used in government regulations, scientific publications, and commerce;
synonyms exist for many chemicals.
3Chemical Abstracts Service registry number. Where “Total” is entered, all species in the ground water that contain
this element are included.
4CAS index names are those used in the 9th Cumulative Index.
5Suggested Methods refer to analytical procedure numbers used in EPA Report SW-846 “Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Waste”, third edition,. Analytical details can be found in SW-846 and in documentation on file at
the agency. The packed column gas chromotography methods 8010, 8020, 8030, 8040, 8060, 8080, 8090, 810,
8120, 8140, 8150, 8240, and 8250 were promulgated methods through Updates III of SW-846 and, as of Update III,
the AGency has replaced these methods with “capillary column GC methods”, as the suggested methods.
CAUTION: The methods listed are representative SW-846 procedures and may not always be the most suitable
method(s) for monitoring an analyte under the regulations.
