Ohio Admin. Code 3745-270-48

Current through all regulations passed and filed through October 28, 2024

Section 3745-270-48 - Universal treatment standards

(A) The table in this rule identifies the hazardous constituents, along with the nonwastewater and wastewater treatment standard levels, that are used to regulate most prohibited hazardous wastes with numerical limits. For determining compliance with treatment standards for "underlying hazardous constituents" as defined in rule 3745-270-02 of the Administrative Code, these treatment standards may not be exceeded. Compliance with these treatment standards is measured by an analysis of grab samples, unless otherwise noted in the table in this rule.

Footnotes: NA Not applicable. TCLP Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure TC Toxicity Characteristic EP Extraction Procedure 1 CAS means chemical abstract services. When the EPA hazardous waste number or regulated constituents are described as a combination of a chemical with its salts or esters, the CAS number is given for the parent compound only. 2 Concentration standards for wastewaters are expressed in mg/l and are based on analysis of composite samples. 3 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 rules 3745-57-40 to 3745-57-51 or 3745-68-40 to 3745-68-52 of the Administrative Code, 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 paragraph (D) of rule 3745-270-40 of the Administrative Code. All concentration standards for nonwastewaters are based on analysis of grab samples. 4 Both "Cyanides (Total)" and "Cyanides (Amenable)" for nonwastewaters are to be analyzed using method 9010C or method 9012B, found in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods", U.S. EPA publication SW-846, with a sample size of ten grams and a distillation time of one hour and fifteen minutes. 5 These constituents are not "underlying hazardous constituents" in characteristic wastes, according to the definition in rule 3745-270-02 of the Administrative Code. 6 Reserved. 7 This constituent is not an "underlying hazardous constituent" as defined in rule 3745-270-02 of the Administrative Code because its universal treatment standards (UTS) level is greater than its TC level, thus a treated selenium waste would always be characteristically hazardous, unless it is treated to below its characteristic level. 8 This standard is temporarily deferred for soil exhibiting a hazardous characteristic due to EPA hazardous waste numbers D004-D011 only.
