INTRODUCTION

Approximately 3,000 drums of 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxy Acid ( 2 , 4 . 5 - T ) and25,700 drums of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid ( 2 , 4 - D ) pesticide wastesare stored at the Vertac Chemical Corp. (Vertac) site in Jacksonville,Arkansas. The 2,4,5-T pesticide waste has been shown to contain2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) as an impurity. The 2.4,5-Twaste is classified by the Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) ashazardous waste number F020. The 2,4-D pesticide waste was generated usingthe process equipment previously used to produce 2 , 4 , 5 - T . Waste generatedon process equipment previously used to produce 2, 4 , 5 - T is classified byRCRA as hazardous waste number F023.

In 1987 Vertac abandoned the site. The Arkansas Department of PollutionControl and Ecology (ADPC&E) is utilizing a $10.7 million trust fund set upby Vertac to incinerate the wastes. A test burn on the wastes conducted atthe Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Combustion Research Facility(CRP) indicated that 9 9 . 9 9 9 9 Z destruction removal efficiency for2,3,7,8-TCDD as required by 40 CFR Part 264.343 is achievable (AttachmentA ) . The byproducts from the incineration process will be managed as ahazardous waste until they are proven to be nonhazardous and removed fromthe list of regulated wastes. This removal is referred to as 'delisting".The RCRA deiisting process requires that a delisting petition provide thefollowing key information:

o Administrative Informationo Description of Treatment Processes and Materialso Description of Waste Streams to be Treatedo Rationale for Selecting Constituents for Which to Testo Methods of Sampling the Waste Streamo Waste Analysis Methods

inT-l

This information is presented in Section 1 through 6 in this petition. ~ "Section 7 presents detailed regulatory citation references. In the case 0

(^when the waste to be delisted has not yet been generated an upfront , ,delisting petition is submitted. The EPA Office of Solid Waste (OSV)reviews all delisting petitions.

The 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D wastes have not been sampled and analyzed in a mannerthat would identify all hazardous constituents. The list of hazardousconstituents that a petitioner demonstrate that its waste does not containis the list of hazardous constituents identified in 40 CFR 261, AppendixVIII. In lieu of Appendix VIII analytical data, detailed processinformation has been provided that identifies raw materials used, processintermediates, waste byproducts, and products, for the process streams atVertac. Based on the process information, the 40 CFR 261 Appendix VIIIcompounds which could potentially be in the waste have been identified.After representative samples are collected, EPA approved test methods willbe used to analyze the waste.

1.0 ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION(M•^

1.1 PETITIONER'S NAME AND ADDRESS

Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and EcologyP . O . Box 9583Little Rock, Arkansas 72219

1.2 PETITIONER'S INTEREST IN THE PROPOSED ACTION

The Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology seeks a regulatoryamendment and exclusion (delisting) pursuant to 40 CFR Part 260.22 which,on the basis of analytical results, would exclude from identification as ahazardous waste by 40 CFR Part 2 6 1 . 3 ( c ) ( 2 ) three byproducts: kiln ash,cyclone ash, and calcium chloride salts and excess lime generated duringthe operation of an incinerator on wastes at the Vertac site inJacksonville, Arkansas.

1 . 3 BACKGROUND

The Vertac site is located within the city limits of Jacksonville,Arkansas. The city of Jacksonville has a population of about 28,000.Approximately 1,000 residents live within one mile of the facility. The63-acre Vertac facility was used for the production of agriculturalherbicides from 1948 to 1986. The west and north sides of the facility arebounded by an industrial area and the Little Rock Air Force Base, andresidential areas are located south and east of the facility.

The original owner and operator of the facility was the Reasor-Hill Co. In1963 Hercules bought the facility. From 1971 to 19 7 6 , Transvaal leased thefacility from Hercules. Transvaal purchased the site in 1976 and

1-1

I>T-l

reorganized into Vertac. The plant was operated by Vertac until January of (?^p441987. 2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2,4-D were the primary products produced by all the ^.

owners/operators of the facility. C-/» •

Vertac participated in the 1978 National Dioxin Survey. Dioxin levels ashigh as 40 ppm were found in the 2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2,4-D production wastes. TheEnvironmental Protection Agency and the Arkansas Department of PollutionControl and Ecology began investigations of the site, resulting in the sitebeing placed on the National Priority List (NPL) in 1979. ADPC&E issued anorder in 1979 that required Vertac to improve its hazardous wastepractices.

A Consent Decree was entered into by EPA, ADPC&E, Vertac, and Hercules inJanuary 1982, which required an independent consultant to assess theconditions of onsite wastes and to develop a proposed disposal method forthe wastes.

The resulting proposal, called the "Vertac Remedy", was deemed by EPA to beunsatisfactory, and EPA went to court in early 1984 for a resolution. Thecourt decided in favor of the proposed remedy, which was implemented in thesummer of 1984 and completed in July of 1986. The remedy provided forthe closure of Vertac plant cooling water pond and the equalization basin.Sediments from these units were removed and placed into an excavated areawhere waste had been buried previously. The burial area was capped. AFrench drain, leachate collection system, and monitoring wells wereinstalled around the burial areas. The remedy did not address stored wastedrums, process equipment, contaminated surface soils, buildings or groundwater.

In 1985, a series of incineration experiments was performed using wastesfrom the Vertac site at the EPA Combustion Research Facility in Jefferson,Arkansas (Attachment A ) . The primary objective of the tests was toevaluate the incinerability of the Vertac waste from the 2 , 4 , 5 - T productionprocess. The results of the tests indicated that the incinerator system

1-2

00was capable of achieving a 9 9 . 9 9 9 9 Z destruction removal efficiency for .^2,3,7,8-TCDD as required by 40 CFR Part 264.343. Based upon the CRF tests "0indicating that incineration of the wastes was a viable disposal option, in i ^late 1985, Vertac employed Environmental Services Company (ENSCO) toincinerate the wastes. Trial burns were started in early 1986. Aftermonths of unsuccessfully trying to achieve the 9 9 . 9 9 9 9 Z destruction removalefficiency, ENSCO abandoned the effort.

In 1986, the United States and ADPC&E entered into an agreement withVertac. Under this agreement, the U . S . and ADPC&E agreed not to contestthe transfer of certain Vertac operations. In return, Vertac established a$ 6 . 7 million environmental trust fund and a $4 million environmental letterof credit for environmental remediation.

In January of 1987, Vertac announced that the company did not have thefiscal resources to implement additional remedial actions and abandoned thesite. At that time, there were about 28,700 drums of wastes on the site.Principal constituents of the wastes are toluene and various phenols.Dioxin contamination has been found to be as high as 50 ppm. Due to thecorrosivity of the wastes (pH < 3 ) and ultraviolet degradation, many ofthe metal and plastic drums had ruptured.

In February of 1987, an immediate removal action was initiated to mitigatethe hazards posed by the deterioration of the drums. The drums have beenoverpacked and spills containerized. These are considered interim measuresto minimize hazards until a permanent remedy is selected.

In 1987. ADPC&E issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) and contracted forincineration of the 2,4.5 - T and 2,4-D wastes, using the $10.7 million trustfund. The selected incinerator contractor determined the original pricewas inadequate and the contract was dissolved by mutual consent. In 1988ADPC&E again issued a RFP for incineration of the waste. A contract forincineration has been awarded to MRK Industries (MRK) of Baton Rouge,Louisiana.

2.0 MATERIALS TO BE INCINERATED

This section identifies the wastes which will be incinerated and theproduction processes which generated the 2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2,4-D wastes. Theprocess information is being presented to aid the delisting reviewer toidentify:

o raw materials used in pesticide manufactureo intermediate formulations of pesticide productiono waste products generated during pesticide productiono pesticides produced.

This process information and existing analytical data will provide thebasis for identifying which 40 CFR 261 Appendix VIII hazardous constituentsare in, or, could be present in the waste.

The following materials located at the Vertac site may be incinerated andare included in this delisting petition. The actual materials that will beincinerated are dependent upon the availability of funding. The quantitiesof materials shown are approximate.

o 25,700 drums of 2,4-D wastes

o 3,000 drums of 2 , 4 , 5 - T wasteso 107 empty 55-gallon steel drumso 974 empty 55-gallon polyethylene drumso 446 empty 85-galion steel drumso 8,850 empty 85-gallon polyethylene drumso Protective clothing, including tyvek suites, gloves, and tape

o 7,728 cubic feet of crushed drums and trash from the cleanup of <the 2 , 4 , 5 - T still bottom storage field (^)

^o 6 6 empty yellow drums and 47 empty black drums that had contained 0

2,4,5 - T still bottoms i 'o 700 empty drums that had been used to transfer and contain '

2 , 4 , 5 - To 347 drums containing filter paper contaminated by 2,4-Do 45 drums of floor sweepings used for cleaning 2,4-D process areaso 13 drums of contaminated soil picked up from the 2,4-D still

bottoms storage area.o 35 drums of insulation and trash contaminated by chlorobenzeneso 24 boxes of trash, each box containing 7 empty methyl

chloropropionic acid sackso 645 cubic feet of flattened boxes that have been used to transfer

and contain 2,4-D.

The empty drums, protective clothing, filter paper, floor sweepings, andother miscellaneous materials are considered to be contaminated with thesame constituents as the 2,4-D and 2 , 4 , 5 - T wastes but are contaminated atlevels several orders of magnitude lower than the process wastes.

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

This section discusses the manufacturing processes which generated the2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2,4-D wastes at Vertac. This information was obtained from Mr.Kenneth Howard, a chemical process engineer at Vertac from 1975 through1986.

There were no intermediates or products manufactured or formulated at theVertac site other than 2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2,4-D. Consequently, there would nothave been any opportunity for the product lines to become cross-contaminated with other wastes. Additionally, there were no significantchanges in the manufacturing processes described in this portion that wouldsignificantly alter the composition of the wastes.

I>3 . 0 DESCRIPTION OF THE TREATMENT PROCESS -

(Ml

This section discusses the treatment processes that will generate the 0<^by-products covered under this delisting petition. The treatment process

information and figures have been obtained from the MRK proposal toincinerate the waste. The by-products of the treatment system are kilnash, cyclone ash, and calcium chloride salt and excess lime residues fromthe treatment of gases from the incinerator afterburner. In addition,disposal options for the treatment by-products are discussed.

The incineration facilities are composed of a rotary kiln, ash removalfacilities, a cyclone separator, a secondary combustion chamber, and a dryand wet scrubbing system. These facilities are shown on Figure 3-1. Theincineration facilities will be installed on a 90 foot by 160 foottemporary foundation that will be sloped to the center to collect spillageand rainfall. Organic hazardous materials containing carbon, oxygen, andhydrogen will be converted by the incineration system into carbon dioxideand water vapor that are discharged through an exhaust stack. Othersubstances are present in the wastes along with the carbon, oxygen, andhydrogen. Chlorine or sodium are examples of these substances and areconverted to materials that are captured by air pollution control equipmentand prevented from escaping to the atmosphere.

Drums containing the wastes will be opened, emptied, and rinsed on anenclosed 30 foot by 60 foot concrete foundation located near theincineration facilities. The stored drums will be brought to the drumopening area and the tops of the 110 gallon and 85 gallon drum overpackswill be removed by unclamping the outer seal rings. The tops of the innersteel 55 gallon drums will be removed with a water-jet cutter. The steeldrums and the overpacks will be placed on automated dumpers and ifnecessary, a hot oil coil will be inserted in the drums. After a 30 secondheating cycle, the drums will be inverted and their contents drained into acollection tank for transfer to the incinerator. While the drum isinverted, the inner drum will be sprayed with hot water. The empty drumswill be triple rinsed as required by 40 CFR Part 26 1 . 7 . After triple

OSrinsing, the empty drums in usable condition will be used for storage of qiincineration by-products. The drum rinsate water will be transferred to v^Pthe kiln cooling water tank and will be used to cool the kiln. All of the 0drum rinsate water will be evaporated in the kiln. A negative pressurewill be maintained in the drum opening building and air from the building 'will be discharged to the incinerator afterburner. If drums are openedwhile the incinerator is not operating, air from the building will bedischarged through a carbon adsorption system to the atmosphere. The drumhandling facilities are shown on Figure 3-2.

A rotary shredder will be used to reduce the size of the drums and otherlarge objects to pieces that are approximately 1.5 inches by 3 . 0 inches.Material will be fed into the shredder by an infeed hopper and dropped onthe shredder. The shredder contains two sets of cutting teeth that rotatein opposite directions. The shredder operates on a low speed, high torqueprinciple, thus minimizing noise and dust. During shredding operations,the cutting teeth rotate toward each other at different speeds toaccomplish maximum throughput of material. The material is grabbed bycutter hooks and is sheared and torn by the counter-rotating cutting teeth.The shredded material drops to a conveyor below the cutting teeth and istransferred to the incinerator.

The wastes will be fed to the rotary kiln incinerator at a rate ofapproximately 7,000 pounds per hour. The organic wastes will be vaporizedand partially oxidized in the rotary kiln at a temperature of approximatelyL800 F. Natural gas will be used as fuel for the rotary kiln.Incombustible ash from the rotary kiln will be discharged to an ash bin forcollection and storage in drums. The gas from the rotary kiln will bedischarged to an 8 foot diameter cyclone separator that will partiallyremove the remaining particulates in the gas. Particulates removed by thecyclone separator will be collected in an ash bin and stored in drums.

After passing through the cyclone separator, the gas will be discharged toan afterburner or secondary combustion chamber where the remaining organiccontaminants will be oxidized at a temperature of approximately 2,200 F .

The hot gas from the afterburner will be discharged to a sprayer/dryer absorber chamber where a water/lime slurry will be used to cool the gas and neutralize the HCL in the gas. The water will be evaporated and the Qcombustion gases cooled to 350 to 400 degrees F. The lime will mix with —'the combustion gases and a dry phase neutralization will occur for a largeportion of the HCL. The dry calcium chloride salt that is formed, theexcess lime, and the combustion gases will then pass into a baghouseparticulate scrubber where the lime. salt. and other particulates will beremoved.

Combustion gases from the baghouse will then enter a wet scrubber wherethey will be quenched to a diabotic saturation temperature and scrubbed ofadditional HCP by water and recirculated brine sprays. The absorberchamber, baghouse. and wet scrubber are designed to achieve a 95 percentparticulate removal efficiency and an acid gas removal efficiency of 99percent for HCL. This equipment is shown on Figure 3-3.

Approximately 50 gpm of water and 3,500 pounds per hour of lime will beadded to the absorber chamber. Water added to the absorber chamber will beevaporated, and calcium chloride salts will be formed and later removed inthe baghouse. It is anticipated that approximately 0.75 pounds of calciumchloride salt will be formed for each pound of waste fed to the rotary kilnincinerator. The salt residues from the absorber chamber and the baghousewill be collected and placed in drums for storage until they are delisted.

The liquid blowdown from the wet scrubber will be approximately 3 gpm.This blowdown will be used to provide a liquid seal for the drag chain fromthe rotary kiln and will be evaporated. Residual ash and calcium chloridesalts in the blowdown will be collected with the residual ash from therotary kiln and placed in drums until the ash can be delisted. With thisscrubbing system, there will not be any liquid wastes that will have to bedelisted.

COThe exhaust gas will be drawn from the scrubbing system by an induced draft ififan and discharged through a fiberglass reinforced vinylester exhaust stack ^,that is approximately 40 feet high. Two 3-inch sampling ports are located 0on the stack. , .

The performance of the incineration facilities will be maintained throughinstrumentation and automatic safety shutdown controls. Theinstrumentation control room will have two levels and contain a flowindicator system showing all of the following flow streams: green flowindicating flow streams are within acceptable parameters, yellow flowindicating high or low parameters, and red flow indicating parametersoutside of tolerance limits. Yellow and red flow streams will give theoperator a warning signal that should be corrected by the computer.Temperature controlled solenoid valves are used to shut down theincinerator burners in the event of an emergency. The incineratoroperators can override the computer at anytime they deem necessary.

3 . 2 TREATMENT BY-PRODUCTS DISPOSAL OPTIONS 1^CMThe by-products that will remain after incineration of the 2 , 4 , 5 - T and - 1

2,4-D wastes are the kiln ash, cyclone ash, and the residual calciumchloride salts and excess lime residues from the absorber chamber andbaghouse. Three scenarios have been identified for disposal of theseby-products: ( 1 ) the by-products will be delisted, ( 2 ) the by-productswill be delisted for dioxins and furans, the acutely hazardousconstituents, but will still be a hazardous waste because of otherconstituents, and ( 3 ) the by-products will remain acutely hazardous.

In each case the by-products will be stored separately in onsite drumsuntil a determination is made as to whether the by-products may bedelisted. Disposal options for each of the three scenarios are discussedbelow.

3 . 2 . 1 By-products are DelistedIf the ash and sludge are delisted, they will be regulated by Subtitle D ofRCRA. Subtitle D requires States to develop solid waste management plansto regulate disposal of nonhazardous solid wastes. Disposal of thedelisted ash and sludge by-products are governed by the Arkansas SolidWaste Management Code (Ark. Stats. Section 82-2701 et. s e q ) . Under theprovisions of this Code, the kiln ash, cyclone ash, and calcium chloridesalts could be disposed of in an offsite Class I, II, III, or IV landfillupon written approval of ADPC&E.

The kiln ash. cyclone ash, and calcium chloride salts could be placed in anonsite Class III or IV landfill. Finally, all of the delisted by-productscould be placed in drums and stored in onsite buildings.

3 . 2 . 2 By-products are Hazardous WastesIf the by-products are delisted for dioxins and furans but remain hazardousbecause of other constituents, the kiln ash, cyclone ash, and calciumchloride salts could be placed in a RCRA landfill if the wasteconcentrations meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 268.

4.0 CONSTITUENTS FOR WHICH TO TESTSOtfiCQ

The analytical data presented in Section 2 does not include a complete 40 ^0CFR Part 261 Appendix VIII constituent analysis. Due to the number of _

drums, the difficulty in obtaining representative samples, and the hazardsof drum sampling a complete analysis of the waste has not been conducted.This section will present all Appendix VIII compounds and the basis foranalyzing or not analyzing for the constituents in the treatmentbyproducts.

4.1 APPENDIX VIII CONSTITUENTS NOT TESTED FOR

Based upon the process and analytical information presented in Section 2only carbon ( C ) , oxygen ( 0 ) , hydrogen ( H ) , chlorine ( C l ) . and sodium (N a )were used in the 2.4,5-T and 2,4-D manufacturing processes. Table 4-1lists all the Appendix VIII constituents which have elements other thanonly C , 0, H , Cl, and Na. These constituents are excluded forconsideration of analysis based upon their chemical composition.

Table 4-2 lists the Appendix VIII constituents that, based upon theirchemical structure would not be present after incineration of the materialslisted in Section 2 . 0 . It should be noted that some polynuclear aromaticcompounds (PABs) have been included in this list. Because natural gas willbe used as a fuel, the PAH compounds listed in the table would not becontained in the fuel for, or produced from, the incineration process.

Table 4-3 lists the Appendix VIII constituents that do not have an EPAapproved test method.

d5 . 0 SAMPLING PLAN 0

<M•<3<0c-

The purpose of sampling and testing of the treatment by-products is to verifythat the hazardous constituents of concern in each by-product do not exceed theallowable levels in the approved delisting petition, exhibit any of thecriteria (hazardous waste criteria or constituents) for which the waste waslisted, or exhibit any other criteria that could cause the waste to belisted.

A solid waste is considered hazardous under Part 2 6 1 . 3 ( d ) if the waste:o exhibits characteristics of a hazardous waste identified in 40

CFR Part 261 Subpart C (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity,and EP toxicity)

o contains a listed waste in 40 CFR 261 Subpart D

o is derived from a listed waste in 40 CFR 261 Subpart D.A waste may be excluded under 40 CFR Part 260.22 by demonstrating, withrespect to each constituent, that the waste falls within one of thefollowing categories:

o If the waste is listed with codes " I " , " C " , " R " . or " E " inSubpart D, the waste does not exhibit the relevantcharacteristics of ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or EPtoxicity that was defined in Parts 261.21. 261.22, 261.23 or 26 1 . 2 4 .

o If the waste is listed with code " T " (toxic waste) in Subpart D ,the waste does not contain the constituent (as defined inAppendix VII) that caused the waste to be listed or the EPAconcludes the waste does not pose a substantial present orpotential hazard to human health or the environment whenconsidering the factors in Part 2 6 1 . 1 1 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( i ) through ( x i ) .

o If the waste is listed with code " H " (acute hazardous waste) inSubpart D , the waste does not meet the criterion of Part2 6 1 . 1 1 ( a ) ( 2 ) for toxicity, and there are no additional factors thatwarrant retaining the waste as a hazardous waste.

CO5 . 1 TREATMENT BY-PRODUCTS SAMPLED VD

•^0Two types of pesticide wastes are included in this delisting petition.

Approximately 3,000 drums of 2,4,5-T waste and 25,700 drums of 2.4-D wastes 'will be incinerated. These wastes have EPA hazardous waste numbers F020and F023, respectively, and are classified as acutely hazardous wastes.

The three by-products that will be generated from incineration of thesewastes are kiln ash, cyclone ash, and calcium chloride salt and excess limeresidues from the absorber chamber and baghouse. The by-products from theincineration of both the F020 wastes and the F023 wastes will be sampledfor compliance with 40 CFR 261.22 and the constituent concentrationscontained in the approved delisting petition. Each waste by-product willbe delisted on the basis that it does not exhibit the characteristics forwhich the waste was listed or any other criteria that would cause it to belisted.

5 . 2 SAMPLING STRATEGY

To verify that incineration will successfully meet the delisting criteriaestablished by EPA. time composite samples will be taken from the by-products to characterize the variability of the wastes over time. Theapproved delisting petition will establish the delisting criteria bydefining the type of contaminants and their allowable concentration in theincineration by-products. Spatial variability of the by-products shouldnot be a concern since the solid waste volumes produced each day will becollected in drums.

The names and qualifications of the samplers have not yet been identified,but will be supplied to EPA prior to sampling the wastes. It isanticipated that Level C protection will be required during sampling.

As previously discussed, the three by-products will be sampled and testedduring incineration of the wastes. A discussion of the sampling strategyfor each of the by-products follows.

5-2

Kiln Ash. Kiln ash will be placed in drums for storage after it has ^"cooled. One grab sample will be taken from each drum of kiln ash generated (?<

T1during each twelve hour period. Grab samples will be taken with a dipper ^or similar device as the ash is placed in the drums. All of the grab C-'isamples collected during a twelve hour period will be composited to form i .one sample that is representative of the ash generated during the previoustwelve hours. Sampling will continue until EPA is provided with the resultsof four consecutive analyses of the composite samples for each waste feed( 2 . 4 , 5 - T and 2,4-D) that do not exceed the delisting criteria, and EPAprovides written notification that the kiln ash has been delisted,

Cyclone Ash. Cyclone ash will be collected from the cyclone and placed indrums for storage. One grab sample will be taken from each drum of cycloneash generated during each twelve hour period. All grab samples collectedduring the twelve hour period will be composited to form one sample that isrepresentative of the ash generated during the previous twelve hours.Sampling will continue until EPA is provided with the results of fourcomposite samples for each waste feed ( 2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2,4-D) that do notexceed the delisting criteria, and EPA provides written notification thatthe cyclone ash has been delisted.

Calcium Chloride Salt Residue. A lime slurry spray will be injected intothe absorber chamber to cool the gas from the afterburner and neutralizethe HCL acid gas. Approximately 233 drums of calcium chloride saltresidues will be produced each day. One grab sample of the salt residueswill be collected each hour from both the absorber chamber and thebaghouse. All of the grab samples collected during a 12 hour period willbe composited to form one sample that is representative of the saltresidues that are generated during that period. Sampling will continueuntil EPA is provided with the results of four consecutive analyses of thecomposite samples for each waste feed ( 2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2,4-D) that do notexceed the delisting criteria, and EPA provides written notification thatthe wastewater has been delisted.

5-3

l/s5 . 3 LABORATORY <<M' 1

The laboratory facility that will perform the analyses of the wastes has 0not yet been identified. A Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) facility willbe used to perform all delisting analyses. Routine Analytical Services(RAS) and Special Analytical Services (SAS) will be required.

5.4 SAMPLE DOCUMENTATION

Each sample will be properly documented to ensure that the analyses aretimely, correct, and complete for all parameters requested. Sampledocumentation will follow CLP requirements and is described in the followingsections.

5 . 4 . 1 Field LogbookAil information pertinent to sampling will be recorded in a bound logbook withconsecutively numbered pages. The logbook will contain sufficient informationto allow the sampling activity to be reconstructed without relying on thesampler's memory. All entries will be made in waterproof ink and correctionswill consist of line out deletions that are initialed and dated. Thefollowing entries will be included in the logbook, as applicable.

o Name and title of author, date and time of entry, and physical/environmental conditions during field activity.

o Purpose of sampling activity.o Type of waste, suspected waste concentration if known, and sample

matrix.o Number and volume of sample(s) taken.o Details of the sampling location (dimensioned sketches of

sampling locations may be appropriate).o Date and time of collection.o Field observations.o Sample identification number(s).

5-4

o Documentation of procedures for preparation of reagents or —supplies which become an integral part of the sample ( e . g . , <w

filters and absorbing reagents). - c''ST-

o Information from container labels of reagents used, HPLC water ,«-used for blanks, etc.

o Sampling methodology.o Sample preservation.o Sample distribution and transportation ( e . g . , name of the

laboratory and overnight carrier, if used).o All sample documentation, such as:

Bottle lot numbers as received from repository.Chain of custody records numbers.

o Decontamination procedures.o Signature and date by the personnel responsible for observations.

5 . 4 . 2 Sample Traffic ReportThe sample documentation system for the RAS organic and inorganic parametersis based on the use of the EPA sample Traffic Report ( T R ) , a four-partcarbonless form printed with a unique sample identification number. One TRand its preprinted identification number is assigned by the sampler to eachsample collected. Organic and inorganic TR forms are currently used.Copies of the two types of TRs are included at the end of this section,along with examples of properly completed TR forms.

Each environmental sample collected will be assigned a unique samplenumber. Sample numbers should change ( i . e . , ABCDE001 to ABCDE002) when:( 1 ) the media changes, ( 2 ) the location changes, or ( 3 ) the day or timechanges. Sample numbers do not change because different analyses arerequested. For example, a water sample taken at the same location, dateand time for volatile organics, extractable organics, total metals andcyanide would all have the same sample number, although the various samplealiquots would be placed in different containers.

5-5

Examples of the use of EPA sample numbers are shown below:

EPA Sample Number DescriptionABCDE001 Environmental Sample 001ABCDE002 Environmental Sample 002ABCDE002D The quality control indicator " D "

indicates this sample is a duplicateof environmental sample 002.

ABCDE003F The quality control indicator " F "indicates that this sample is a fieldblank.

To provide a permanent record for each sample collected, the sampler willcomplete the appropriate TR, recording the Case Number (a numberdesignating a single group of samples collected at the site during apredetermined and finite time period), analytical laboratory, samplingoffice, dates of sample collection and shipment, and sample concentration,and matrix. Numbers of sample containers and volumes are entered by thesampler beside the analytical parameter(s) requested for particular sampleportions.

After completing the TR, the sampler will include the bottom two copies inthe sample shipment to the laboratory. Following sample shipment, thesampler will return the top copy of the completed TR to the EPA SampleManagement Office ( S M O ) . The second copy is the sampler's file copy. Uponreceipt of samples, the analytical laboratory will document the samplecondition, sign the TR, return the signed copy to SMO, and retain alaboratory file copy.

A strip of adhesive sample labels printed with the TR sample number comeattached to the TR for the sampler's use in labeling sample bottles. Thesampler will affix one of these numbered labels to each container making upthe sample. In order to protect the label from water and solvent attack,each label will be covered with clear waterproof tape. The sample labelsthat bear the TR identification number permanently identify each samplecollected and link each sample component throughout the analytical process.

5-6

COWhen a RAS sample is to be analyzed for RAS with SAS treatment, TR forms <D

Cwill be used for the "RAS Plus SAS" samples. A SAS Packing List will not _ube required in addition to the TR. Both the RAS Case Number and the SAS 0number must be entered on the TR line requesting "Case Number." Bothnumbers are required in order to clearly identify and track the samplingevent. The Case Number will not be included on "All SAS" samples taken atthe same site. Additionally, the sampler must document a brief descriptionof the SAS requirements on each TR.

5 . 4 . 3 SAS Packing ListSamplers will utilize the SAS Packing List ( P L ) , a four-part carbonless form,only for "All SAS" samples. The PL provides space to list up to 20 samples onone form. SAS samples will be numbered using the SAS number followed by ahyphen and progressive numerical designation, starting with 1 ( e . g . , 2000E-1,2000E-2, 2000E-3, e t c . ) . A copy of the SAS Packing List is included at theend of this section, along with an example of a properly completed PL form.

To provide a permanent record of each sample collected, the sampler willcomplete the PL, recording the SAS number, site name and location, samplingdate, shipment date, analysis laboratory, sampling office, sampler name andtelephone number, individual SAS sample numbers, sample description andanalytical parameters requested.

After completing the PL, the sampler will include the bottom two copieswith the sample shipment to the analysis laboratory. Following sampleshipment, the sampler will send the top copy to the SMO. The second copyis the sampler's file copy. Upon receipt of samples, the analysislaboratory will document the sample condition, sign the PL, return a copyto the SMO, and keep a laboratory file copy.

Adhesive sample labels will be used to identify the appropriate SAS samplenumbers using indelible ink. Labels will be secured to each samplecontainer, and covered with clear waterproof tape to protect the label from

5-7

05the effects of water and solvent(s). The sample label will permanently .Qidentify each sample collected and link each sample component throughout '^?1the analytical process. Q

C5 . 4 . 4 Sample TagEach sample removed from a waste site and transferred to a laboratory foranalysis will be identified by a sample tag containing specific informationregarding the sample, as defined by the EPA National EnforcementInvestigations Center (NEIC). Following sample analysis, sample tags will beretained by the laboratory as physical evidence of sample receipt andanalysis.

The following information will be recorded on an EPA sample tag:

o CLP Case/SAS N o ( s ) . - The unique number(s) assigned by SMO toidentify the sampling event. (Entered under "Remarks" heading.)

o CLP Sample No. - The unique sample identification number used todocument that sample. (Entered under "Remarks" heading.)

o Project Code - The number assigned by EPA to the samplingproject.

o Station No. - A two-digit number assigned by the sampling teamcoordinator.

o Date - A six-digit number indicating the month, day and year ofcollection.

o Time - A four-digit number indicating the military time ofcollection.

o Station Location - The sampling station description.o Samplers - Signatures of samplers on the project team.o Remarks - Case/SAS and sample numbers will be entered here, and

any pertinent comments indicated.o Tag No. - A unique serial number preprinted or stamped on the

tag.o Lab Sample No. - Reserved for laboratory use.

5-8

0Additionally, the sample tag will contain appropriate spaces for noting f>»that the sample has been preserved and indicating the analytical ~ 'parameter(s) for which the sample will be analyzed. An example of a 0properly completed sample tag is included at the end of this section.

Each sample tag will be completed and securely attached to the samplecontainer. Samples will then be shipped under chain-of-custody procedures.

5 . 4 . 5 Chain-of-Custodv RecordOfficial custody of samples will be maintained and documented from the time ofsample collection. The following custody documentation procedure will be usedin conjunction with CLP sample documentation ( i . e . , Traffic Report and SASPacking List) for all samples processed through the CLP.

The sampler will complete a Chain-of-Custody Record to accompany eachcooler shipped from the field to the laboratory. Similar information tothat entered on the sample tag will be recorded on the Chain-of-CustodyRecord. Header information will include the project number, samplers*signatures and the CLP Case/SAS number (entered on the upper right of theform). For each station number, the sampler will indicate the date, time,whether the sample is a composite or grab, station location, number ofcontainers, analytical parameters, CLP sample number(s), and sample tagnumber(s). When relinquishing the samples for shipment, the sampler willsign in the space indicated at the bottom of the form, entering the dateand time the samples are relinquished. The sampler will enter the shippername and airbill number under the "Remarks" section on the bottom right ofthe form. An example of a properly completed Chain-of-Custody Record isincluded at the end of this section.

The custody record will be completed using waterproof ink. Any correctionswill be made by drawing a line through and initialing the error, then enteringthe correct information. Erasures will not be permissible.

The top, original signature copy of the Chain-of-Custody Record will beenclosed in plastic (with CLP sample documentation) and secured to the

5-9

inside of the cooler lid. A copy of the custody record wi1.! be retained yfor the sampler's file. GQ

^0

Shipping coolers will be secured and custody seals will be placed across -cooler openings. As long as custody forms are sealed inside the samplecooler and custody seals remain intact, commercial carriers are notrequired to sign off on the custody form.

The laboratory representative who accepts the incoming sample shipment willsign and date the Chain-of-Custody Record to acknowledge receipt of thesamples and complete the sample transfer process. It will be thelaboratory's responsibility to maintain internal logbooks and records thatprovide a custody record throughout sample preparation and analysis.

5 . 4 . 6 Sample Packing and ShippingSample packaging and shipping procedures will be based on EPA requirements, aswell as U . S . Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations ( 4 9 CFR). Allsamples will be shipped according to medium hazard requirements due to thepotential presence of chlorodibenzodioxins and chlorodibenzofurans. Samplecontainers and preservation requirements are specified in Table 5-1. Icewill be included in coolers containing samples which require temperaturecontrol. All samples will be shipped by overnight carrier the same daythey are collected.

The following steps will be followed by the sampling team to pack all samples.

o Arrange decontaminated sample containers in groups by samplenumber.

o Tie string from EPA numbered sample identification tag aroundsample container and secure container caps/lids with strappingtape. Mark volume levels on bottles with a grease pencil.

o Arrange containers in front of assigned coolers.o Affix appropriate adhesive labels from assigned traffic report to

each container. Protect with clear label protection tape.

6 . 0 WASTE ANALYSIS METHODS

This section identifies the methods to be used to analyze the byproductsfor hazardous characteristics and constituents. These test methods may befound in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste: Physical/ChemicalMethods", and its supplements and revisions, SW-846 (second edition), June1982. The analytical methods identified in Table 4-4 are found in thefollowing attachments to this delisting petition.

* Calculated as follows;

Test Method

IgnitabilityCorrosivityReactivityExtraction Procedure ( E P ) ToxicityTotal Oil and GreaseTotal Organic CarbonCyanide6010 (ICP Metals)8010 (Halogenated Volatile Organics;8120 (Chlorinated Hydrocarbons)8150 (Chlorinated Herbicides)8240 (Volatile Organics)8270 (Base, Neutral and Acid

Extractables)8290 (Dioxins & Furans) *

Results from 8290 analysis will be calculated to a 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxicityequivalent value. This value will be calculated using a conservativeestimate of the level of concern of the concentration of tetra-, penta-,hepta, and hexachlorinated dioxins (CDD) and -dibenzofuran (CDF) isomers.The weighting factors are given below, and represent current best estimatesof the relative toxicities of the "2 , 3 , 7 , 8 - s u b s t i t u t e d " congeners. In theabsence of isomer-specific data, it is prudent to consider all detectedisomers in a homologue to be ''2,3,7,8-substituted" isomers.
