ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 261
[FRL-5646-5]
Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of
Hazardous Waste; Final Exclusion; Correction.
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 18, 1996, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or
Agency) published a final rule granting a petition submitted by United
Technologies Automotive, Inc. (UTA), Dearborn, Michigan, to exclude (or
``delist''), conditionally, on a one-time, upfront basis, a certain
solid waste generated by UTA's chemical stabilization treatment of
lagoon sludge at the Highway 61 Industrial Site in Memphis, Tennessee,
from the lists of hazardous wastes in Secs. 261.31 and 261.32. Based on
careful analyses of the waste-specific information provided by the
petitioner, the Agency concluded that UTA's petitioned waste will not
adversely affect human health and the environment. Delisting levels for
cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, and cyanide which would be protective
of human health and the environment were calculated and promulgated.
This action addresses the fact that the actual volume of waste to be
disposed is 35,000 cubic yards, instead of the 20,500 cubic yards
estimated by the petitioner prior to publication of the final rule.
Therefore, today's document corrects the delisting levels for the
constituents of concern by using the dilution attenuation factor (DAF)
of 84 for 35,000 cubic yards, instead of the DAF of 96 for 20,500 cubic
yards.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 18, 1996.
ADDRESSES: The RCRA regulatory docket for the final rule and today's
document is located at the EPA Library, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 4, 100 Alabama Street, S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30303, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Reasons and Basis for Today's Document
Each delisting level in the final rule was calculated by
multiplying the health-based level for each constituent of concern by
the dilution attenuation factor (DAF) of 96 for a one-time disposal of
an estimated volume of 20,500 cubic yards of petitioned waste. See 61
FR 37399, July 18, 1996. The petitioner reported that the actual volume
to be disposed is 35,000 cubic yards. The DAF for this volume is 84.
See the proposed rule for this petitioned waste at 61 FR 14703, April
3, 1996.
Therefore, today's document corrects the delisting level for each
constituent of concern by multiplying each health-based level by 84.
II. Corrections to the Preamble of Final Rule
On page 37399, of the Federal Register of July 18, 1996, Table 1 of
the Preamble:
The delisting level for chromium is corrected to read: ``8.4;
delisting level is set at less than 5.0, the toxicity characteristic
level.''
The delisting level for cyanide is corrected to read: ``16.8;
(cyanide extraction must be conducted using deionized water.)''
The delisting levels for cadmium, lead, and nickel are corrected to
read: ``0.42,'' ``1.26,'' and ``16.8,'' respectively.

(3) Delisting Levels: All leachable
concentrations for these
constituents must not exceed the
following levels (ppm): Cadmium--
0.42; cyanide--16.8; lead--1.26;
and nickel--8.4. The leachable
concentration of chromium must be
less than 5.0 ppm. Metal
concentrations in the waste
leachate must be measured by the
method specified in 40 CFR 261.24.
The cyanide extraction must be
conducted using deionized water.
Total cyanide concentration in the
leachate must be measured by Method
9010 or Method 9012 of SW-846.
