Appendix 096-420-A - Sampling and Analysis for Sewage-Contaminated Grease

Sewage contaminated grease must be sampled and analyzed in accordance with the following criteria:

A composite sample of each load of sewage-contaminated grease must be collected and analyzed (per methods in EPA SW-846) for the metals listed below. The concentration of any metal may not exceed the maximum concentration as listed:

Parameter Maximum Concentration (mg-kg - Dry Weight)
Arsenic 41 mg/kg
Cadmium 39 mg/kg
Chromium 1200 mg/kg
Copper 1500 mg/kg
Lead 300 mg/kg
Mercury 17 mg/kg
Molybdenum 75 mg/kg
Nickel 420 mg/kg
Selenium 100 mg/kg
Zinc 2800 mg/kg

In addition, sewage contaminated grease derived from treatment facilities that: 1) have flows above 2.5 million gallons per day (mgd), 2) receive wastewater from pulp and paper, tannery, textile or other significant industrial facilities or 3) are required to institute an industrial pre-treatment program must perform initial testing for dioxins as required by 06-096 CMR Chapter 567, and 06-096 CMR Chapters 400 et seq. Solid Waste Management Regulations. Grease with 2378 TCDD equivalents in excess of 27 ppt may not be land applied at a septage land application site.
