Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of
Hazardous Waste; Proposed Exclusion
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule and request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
grant a petition to the Texas Eastman Division of Eastman Chemical
Company (Texas Eastman) to exclude (or ``delist''), certain solid
wastes generated at its facility from the lists of hazardous wastes
contained in 40 CFR 261.24, 261.31, 261.32 and 261.33 (hereinafter all
sectional references are to 40 CFR unless otherwise indicated). This
petition was submitted under 40 CFR 260.20, which allows any person to
petition the Administrator to modify or revoke any provision of 40 CFR
Parts 260 through 266, 268 and 273, and under 40 CFR 260.22, which
specifically provides generators the opportunity to petition the
Administrator to exclude a waste on a ``generator specific'' basis from
the hazardous waste lists. This proposed decision is based on an
evaluation of waste-specific information provided by the petitioner. If
this proposed decision is finalized, the petitioned waste will be
conditionally excluded from the requirements of hazardous waste
regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
DATES: The EPA is requesting public comments on this proposed decision.
Comments will be accepted until August 9, 1996. Comments postmarked
after the close of the comment period will be stamped ``late.''
Any person may request a hearing on this proposed decision by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Authority
On January 16, 1981, as part of its final and interim final
regulations implementing Section 3001 of RCRA, the EPA published an
amended list of hazardous wastes from non-specific and specific
sources. This list has been amended several times, and is published in
Sec. 261.24, Sec. 261.31, Sec. 261.32 and Sec. 261.33. These wastes are
listed as hazardous because they typically and frequently exhibit one
or more of the characteristics of hazardous wastes identified in
Subpart C of Part 261 (i.e., ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and
toxicity) or meet the criteria for listing contained in
Sec. 261.11(a)(2) or (a)(3).
Individual waste streams may vary, however, depending on raw
materials, industrial processes, and other factors. Thus, while a waste
described in these regulations generally is hazardous, a specific waste
from an individual facility meeting the listing description may not be
hazardous. Therefore, Sec. 260.20 and Sec. 260.22 provide an exclusion
procedure, allowing persons to demonstrate that a specific waste from a
particular generating facility should not be regulated as a hazardous
waste.
To have their wastes excluded, petitioners must show that wastes
generated at their facilities do not meet any of the criteria for which
the wastes were listed. See, Sec. 260.22(a) and the background
documents for the listed wastes. In addition, the Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984 require the EPA to consider any factors
(including additional constituents) other than those for which the
waste was listed, if there is a reasonable basis to believe that such
additional factors could cause the waste to be hazardous. Accordingly,
a petitioner also must demonstrate that the waste does not exhibit any
of the hazardous waste characteristics (i.e., ignitability, reactivity,
corrosivity, and toxicity), and must present sufficient information for
the EPA to determine whether the waste contains any of the other
identified constituents at hazardous levels. See, Sec. 260.22(a), 42
U.S.C. 6921(f), and the background documents for the listed wastes.
Although wastes that are ``delisted'' have been evaluated to decide
whether they exhibit any of the characteristics of hazardous waste,
generators remain obligated under RCRA to determine whether their waste
remains non-hazardous based on the hazardous waste characteristics.
In addition, residues from the treatment, storage, or disposal of
listed hazardous wastes and mixtures containing listed hazardous wastes
are also considered hazardous wastes. See, Secs. 261.3(a)(2)(iv) and
(c)(2)(I), referred to as the ``mixture'' and ``derived-from'' rules,
respectively. Such wastes are also eligible for exclusion and remain
hazardous wastes until excluded. On December 6, 1991, the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia vacated the ``mixture/derived
from'' rules and remanded them to the EPA on procedural grounds. See,
Shell Oil Co. v. EPA, 950 F.2d 741 (D.C. Cir. 1991). On March 3, 1992,
EPA reinstated the mixture and derived-from rules, and solicited
comments on other ways to regulate waste mixtures and residues (57 FR
7628). On December 21, 1995, the EPA proposed rules related to waste
mixtures and residues at 60 FR 66344 and invited public comment. These
references should be consulted for more information regarding mixtures
and residues.
B. Approach Used to Evaluate This Petition
Texas Eastman's petition requests a delisting for a listed
hazardous waste. In making the initial delisting determination, the EPA
evaluated the petitioned waste against the listing criteria and factors
cited in Sec. 261.11(a)(2) and (a)(3). Based on this review, the EPA
agreed with the petitioner that the waste is non-hazardous with respect
to the original listing criteria. (If the EPA had found, based on this
review, that the waste remained hazardous based on the factors for
which the waste was originally listed, the EPA would have proposed to
deny the petition.) The EPA then evaluated the waste with respect to
other factors or criteria to assess whether there is a reasonable basis
to believe that such additional factors could cause the waste to be
hazardous. The EPA considered whether the waste is acutely toxic, and
considered the toxicity of the constituents, the concentration of the
constituents in the waste, their tendency to migrate and to
bioaccumulate, their persistence in the environment once released from
the waste, plausible and specific types of management of the petitioned
waste, the quantities of waste generated, and waste variability.
For this delisting determination, the EPA used such information to
identify plausible exposure routes (i.e., ground water, surface water,
air) for hazardous constituents present in the petitioned waste. The
EPA determined that disposal in a Subtitle D landfill is the most
reasonable, worst-case disposal scenario for Texas Eastman's petitioned
waste, and that the major exposure route of concern would be ingestion
of contaminated ground water. Therefore, the EPA is proposing to use a
particular fate and transport model, the EPA Composite Model for
Landfills (EPACML), to predict the maximum allowable concentrations of
hazardous constituents that may be released from the petitioned waste
after disposal and to determine the potential impact of the disposal of
Texas Eastman's petitioned waste on human health and the environment.
Specifically, the EPA used the maximum estimated waste volume and the
maximum reported extract concentrations as inputs to estimate the
constituent concentrations in the ground water at a hypothetical
receptor well downgradient from the disposal site. The calculated
receptor well concentrations (referred to as compliance-point
concentrations) were then compared directly to the current health-based
levels used in delisting decision-making for the hazardous constituents
of concern.
The EPA believes that this fate and transport model represents a
reasonable worst-case scenario for disposal of the petitioned waste in
a landfill, and that a reasonable worst-case scenario is appropriate
when evaluating whether a waste should be relieved of the protective
management constraints of RCRA Subtitle C. The use of a reasonable
worst-case scenario results in conservative values for the compliance-
point concentrations and ensures that the waste, once removed from
hazardous waste regulation, will not pose a threat to human health or
the environment. Because a delisted waste is no longer subject to
hazardous waste control, the EPA is generally unable to predict and
does not presently control how a waste will be managed after delisting.
Therefore, the EPA does not currently consider extensive site-specific
factors when applying the fate and transport model. The EPA also
considers the applicability of groundwater monitoring data during the
evaluation of delisting petitions. The EPA normally requests
groundwater monitoring data for wastes managed on-site to determine
whether hazardous constituents have migrated to the underlying
groundwater. Groundwater monitoring data provides significant
additional information important to fully characterize the potential
impact (if any) of the disposal of a petitioned waste on human health
and the environment. In this case, the EPA determined that the
groundwater
[[Page 32755]]
monitoring data was applicable to the evaluation of the petitioned
waste. Texas Eastman's petitioned waste is transported to an on-site
hazardous waste landfill that has been designed to meet the RCRA
minimum technology requirements and has groundwater monitoring wells to
monitor the landfill. The EPA believes that data collected from Texas
Eastman's groundwater monitoring system provides a clear measure of
whether the landfill has adversely impacted groundwater quality at the
Texas Eastman site. The data provided from the groundwater monitoring
system and the landfill leachate seem to indicate that no adverse
impact on the groundwater has occurred and that the leachate collected
from the system is currently below health based limits. The potential
impact of these wastes on the groundwater will also be predicted
through the application of the EPACML, fate and transport model.
Finally, the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 specifically
require the EPA to provide notice and an opportunity for comment before
granting or denying a final exclusion. Thus, a final decision will not
be made until all timely public comments (including those at public
hearings, if any) on today's proposal are addressed.
II. Disposition of Delisting Petition
Eastman Chemical Company--Texas Eastman Division, Longview, Texas,
75607.
A. Petition for Exclusion
Eastman Chemical Company --Texas Eastman Division (Texas Eastman),
located in Longview, Texas is involved in the manufacturing of organic
chemicals and plastics. Texas Eastman petitioned the EPA for a
conditional exclusion of approximately 7,000 cubic yards of Fluidized
Bed Incinerator (FBI) ash generated per calendar year. The FBI ash,
presently disposed of in an on-site hazardous waste landfill, is
generated from the incineration of sludges from its wastewater
treatment plant. The FBI ash is listed for 56 EPA Hazardous Waste
Numbers due to the ``derived-from'' and mixture rules. The waste is
listed as D001, D003, D018, D019, D021, D022, D027, D028, D029, D030,
D032, D033, D034, D035, D036, D038, D039, D040, F001, F003, F005, K009,

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Texas Eastman petitioned the EPA to exclude this annual volume of
FBI ash because it does not believe that the waste meets the criteria
for which it was listed. Texas Eastman also believes that the waste
does not contain any other constituents that would render it hazardous.
Review of this petition included consideration of the original listing
criteria, as well as the additional factors required by the HSWA of
1984. See, Section 222 of HSWA, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 6921(f), and 40 CFR
Sec. 260.22(d)(2)-(4). Today's proposal to grant this petition for
delisting is the result of the EPA's evaluation of Texas Eastman's
petition.
B. Background
On December 29, 1994, Texas Eastman petitioned the EPA to exclude,
from the lists of hazardous wastes contained in 40 CFR Sec. 261.31 and
Sec. 261.32, an annual volume of incinerator ash generated from
incineration of sludge from its wastewater treatment plant.
Specifically, in its petition, Texas Eastman requested that the EPA
grant a standard exclusion for 7,000 cubic yards of incinerator ash
generated per calendar year.
In support of its petition, Texas Eastman submitted: (1)
descriptions of its wastewater treatment processes and the incineration
activities associated with the petitioned waste; (2) results from total
constituent analyses for the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) metals listed
in Sec. 261.24 (i.e., the TC metals) antimony, arsenic, barium,
beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, nickel,
selenium, silver, thallium, tin, vanadium, and zinc from representative
samples of the waste; (3) results from the Toxicity Characteristic
Leaching Procedure (TCLP), (SW-846 Method 1311) for the TC metals
antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt,
copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, thallium, tin,
vanadium, and zinc from representative samples of the waste; (4)
results from the Multiple Extraction Procedure (MEP), (SW-846 Method
1330) for antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium,
cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, thallium, tin,
vanadium, and zinc from representative samples of the waste; (5) test
results from the total constituent analyses for dioxins/furans from
representative samples of the waste; (6) results from total oil and
grease analyses from representative samples of the waste; (7) test
results and information regarding the hazardous characteristics of
ignitability, corrosivity, and reactivity; (8) results from total
constituent and TCLP analyses for 40 CFR Part 264 Appendix IX volatile
and semi-volatile organic compounds from representative samples of the
waste; and (9) results from the Land Disposal Restriction Analysis
performed on the untreated ash. Texas Eastman also provided total
constituent analyses and for the biological treatment sludge, scrubber
water blowdown, influent waste water and waste liquid fuel associated
with the generation of the FBI ash. To meet the Land Disposal
Restriction's interim treatment standard for nickel, Texas Eastman had
to stabilize the nickel in the FBI ash by adding a polymer. Since the
universal treatment standards were finalized in 1995, and designated
the TCLP treatment standard for nickel as 5.0 mg/l, Texas Eastman no
longer has to add the polymer to the ash.
Texas Eastman is an active organic chemical and plastics
manufacturing plant. Current facility operations, including wastewater
treatment, are not significantly different from the operations
occurring at this facility for the last 10 years. There are two major
raw materials (propane and ethane) used at the Texas Eastman facility.
Most of the products from this facility are in similar product
groupings, therefore the wastewater resulting from the manufacturing of
these products is fairly well defined. Texas Eastman believes that
several factors dampen the spatial and temporal variability that may
occur in the wastewater: (1) the majority of wastewater volume
generated at the Texas Eastman facility is from low strength sources
and the high strength sources generated are from a few low volume
sources; (2) the daily volume of wastewater flow is such that very
large mass loading is necessary to influence the concentrations of a
constituent reaching the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP); (3) the
hydraulic retention time of 17 days within the WWTP is very high as
well as the corresponding sludge age which minimizes the chance of a
shock load influencing the resulting feed to the incinerator; (4) the
collection system for the WWTP is equipped with ``shock'' load sensors
and a monitoring system which prevent large mass loadings from being
introduced into the WWTP; (5) the WWTP is equipped with emergency
storage tanks capable of holding approximately 20 hours of influent;
and (6) the liquid fuels used as supplemental fuels in the incinerator
are relatively uniform in characteristics and constituents.
During the various production processes, wastewaters are generated
and flow into a centralized collection system. All wastewaters are
routed to the wastewater treatment plant for treatment, via biological
degradation, and subsequent discharge into receiving waters. To
facilitate growth of new microorganisms, a portion of the biological
mass (i.e., sludge) is removed from the wastewater treatment system.
The biological sludge is routed to a storage tank and then to the FBI
for thermal treatment. The FBI is a
[[Page 32757]]
permitted incinerator operated at a temperature of 1550 deg.F. The
total heat content of all feeds introduced into the FBI, including the
waste feeds and auxiliary fuels are not permitted to exceed 42 million
BTU/hr. After incineration, the flue gases are routed through a heat
exchanger and a venturi scrubber. A mixture of ash solids and scrubber
water is sent to the ash thickener. This mixture is dewatered by
passing it through a rotary vacuum filter. After being scraped from the
filter, the ash drops into a dumpster where it is stored prior to
disposal. The resulting FBI ash generated annually is the subject of
Texas Eastman's delisting petition.
Texas Eastman developed a list of constituents of concern from
comparing a list of the wastes generated at the plant with the list of
constituents that appear in 40 CFR Sec. 261, Appendix VIII, as well as
the following six constituents not found in Appendix VIII: acetone,
ethylbenzene, isophorone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, styrene, and total
xylenes. It was decided due to the availability of test methods and
process knowledge, that Texas Eastman would analyze its waste for those
constituents found in 40 CFR Sec. 264, Appendix IX, except for
pesticides, herbicides, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
The sampling and analysis of the FBI ash took place in April and
May 1994. The sampling program consisted of two individual test runs
which together spanned 42 days. During the two test runs, two extreme
FBI operating conditions (high sludge and high liquids) were
represented in addition to normal operations. During one worst case
test condition, biological treatment sludge was fed to the FBI at
approximately 12,000 pounds per hour (lbs/hr), and waste liquid fuels
were fed to the FBI at approximately 540 lbs/hr. During the other worst
case test condition, waste liquid fuels were fed to the FBI at
approximately the maximum feed rate of 684 lbs/hr and biological
treatment sludge was fed at approximately 8,000 lbs/hr. Each test
condition consisted of one run. The tests for extreme conditions (high
sludge or high liquids) lasted two days due to the limited availability
to produce sufficient sludge volume for a longer duration test. The
tests for normal operations lasted five days. The FBI was operated
continuously at the designated test condition throughout the test
period. This allowed for the collection of samples of FBI ash during
each test, yielding a total of 10 sets of FBI ash data from the eight
tests: 8 from the individual test conditions, 1 duplicate, and 1 from
the untreated ash. Samples of four streams (the treated and untreated
FBI ash, biological treatment sludge, and waste liquid fuels) were
collected at 6-hour intervals during each of the eight tests. With the
exception of VOA vials collected for volatiles analysis, the 6-hour
interval samples of each stream collected during each run were
composited at the Texas Eastman facility and shipped to the analytical
laboratories. The composite samples were analyzed for the total
concentrations (i.e., mass of a particular constituent per mass of
waste) of the eight TCLP metals, antimony, beryllium, cobalt, copper,
nickel, thallium, tin, vanadium, and zinc, selected volatile and semi-
volatile organic constituents, dioxins/furans, and oil and grease
content. The samples were also analyzed to determine whether the waste
exhibited the reactive properties, including analysis for total
constituent concentrations of cyanide, sulfide, reactive cyanide, and
reactive sulfide. These samples were also analyzed for TCLP
concentrations (i.e., mass of a particular constituent per unit volume
of extract) of the eight TC metals, antimony, beryllium, cobalt,
copper, nickel, thallium, tin, vanadium, zinc, and selected volatile
and semi-volatile organic constituents.
Texas Eastman has also collected samples of the treated and
untreated ash to maintain compliance with the Land Disposal
Restrictions. For compliance with LDR, the untreated ash is analyzed
for total constituents concentrations of a select group of volatile and
semivolatile organics expected to be present in the ash and the eight
TCLP metals, nickel and vanadium. LDR leachate results for the treated
ash were provided in the 1994 petition. Since, treatment of the ash is
no longer necessary, results from four samples of the untreated ash
have been provided to support this petition. The four samples were
collected for four consecutive months from December 1995-March 1996.
C. Agency Analysis
Texas Eastman used SW-846 Methods 7041, 7060, 7421, 7471, 7740, and
7841 to quantify the total constituent concentrations of antimony,
arsenic, lead, mercury, selenium, and thallium; and SW-846 Method 6010
to quantify total constituent concentrations of barium, beryllium,
cadmium, chromium, nickel, silver, vanadium, and zinc in the samples of
FBI ash (treated and untreated), sludge,and liquid fuels. Texas Eastman
used SW-846 Methods 9010 to quantify the total constituent
concentrations of cyanide for these samples. Texas Eastman used 9030 to
quantify the total constituent concentrations of sulfide.
Using method M-413.2 from the ``Methods for Chemical Analysis of
Water and Wastes'', EPA-600/4-79-020, March 1983, Texas Eastman
determined that oil and grease content was not detected in the
untreated ash.
Texas Eastman used SW-846 Method 1311 (TCLP)/Method 6010 to
quantify the leachable concentrations of the eight TC metals, antimony,
beryllium, copper, cobalt, nickel, vanadium, and zinc in the ash
samples. SW-846 Method 7471 was used for mercury analyses of the
extracts from the samples. Texas Eastman used SW-846 Method 1311 /
Method 9010 to quantify leachable cyanide concentrations in the
samples. The samples taken for the LDR program used SW-846 Method 1311
(TCLP)/ Method 6010 to quantify the TC metals present in the untreated
ash. Method 8290 was used to quantify the total concentrations of
dioxin and furans.
The analyses for reactive cyanide and reactive sulfide (SW-846
Methods 7.3.3.2 and 7.3.4.2, respectively) were provided to verify that
the untreated ash was not characteristic. The ash does not meet the
definitions of ignitability and corrosivity provided in 40 CFR
Sec. 261.21 (a)(2) and Sec. 261.22.
Table 1 presents the maximum total constituent and leachate
concentrations for the eight TC metals, antimony, beryllium, cyanide,
nickel, vanadium, and zinc for the composite samples of the petitioned
waste. Table 1 also presents the maximum reactive cyanide and reactive
sulfide concentrations.
The detection limits presented in Table 1 represent the lowest
concentrations quantifiable by Texas Eastman when using the appropriate
SW-846 or Agency-approved analytical methods to analyze the untreated
ash. (Detection limits may vary according to the waste and waste matrix
being analyzed, i.e., the ``cleanliness waste matrices varies and
``dirty'' waste matrices may cause interferences, thus raising the
detection limits).

as="" ground="" water.="" the="" reported="" tclp="" and="" mep="" extraction="" data="" show="" that="" the="" metals="" in="" texas="" eastman's="" fbi="" ash="" that="" might="" be="" released="" from="" texas="" eastman's="" waste="" to="" surface="" water="" would="" be="" likely="" to="" remain="" undissolved="" or="" leach="" in="" concentrations="" that="" would="" be="" below="" the="" health-based="" levels="" of="" concern.="" finally,="" any="" transported="" constituents="" would="" be="" further="" diluted="" in="" the="" receiving="" surface="" water="" body.="" based="" on="" the="" reasons="" discussed="" above,="" epa="" believes="" that="" contamination="" of="" surface="" water="" through="" run-off="" from="" the="" waste="" disposal="" area="" is="" very="" unlikely.="" nevertheless,="" the="" epa="" evaluated="" potential="" impacts="" on="" surface="" water="" if="" texas="" eastman's="" waste="" were="" released="" from="" a="" municipal="" solid="" waste="" landfill="" through="" run-off="" and="" erosion.="" see,="" the="" rcra="" public="" docket="" for="" today's="" proposed="" rule.="" the="" estimated="" levels="" of="" the="" hazardous=""

water="" quality="" criteria="" for="" aquatic="" organisms="" (usepa,="" owrs,="" 1987).="" the="" epa,="" therefore,="" concluded="" that="" texas="" eastman's="" untreated="" fbi="" ash="" is="" not="" a="" substantial="" present="" or="" potential="" hazard="" to="" human="" health="" and="" the="" environment="" via="" the="" surface="" water="" exposure="" pathway.="" e.="" conclusion=""
