Table 1a. Wastes Excluded from Nonspecific Sources
| Facility | Address | Waste Description | ||
| Waste Management Disposal Systems of Pennsylvania, Inc. | 100 New Ford Mill Road, Morrisville, PA 19067 | Wastewater treatment sludge filter cake from the treatment of EPA Hazardous Waste No. F039, generated at a maximum annual rate of 4,000 cubic yards, after September 11, 2010, and disposed in an RCRA Subtitle D landfill. The exclusion covers the filter cake resulting from the treatment of hazardous waste leachate derived from only the "old" Geological Reclamation Operations and Waste Systems, Inc. (GROWS) landfill and nonhazardous leachate derived from only nonhazardous waste sources. The exclusion does not address the waste disposed in the "old" GROWS landfill or the grit generated during the removal of heavy solids from the landfill leachate. To ensure that hazardous constituents are not present in the filter cake at levels of regulatory concern, WMDSPA must implement a testing program for the petitioned waste. This testing program must meet the conditions listed below in order for the exclusion to be valid: | ||
| (1) Testing: Sample collection and analyses, including quality control (QC) procedures, must be performed using appropriate methods. As applicable to the method-defined parameters of concern, analyses requiring the use of SW-846 methods incorporated by reference in 40 CFR 260.11 must be used without substitution. As applicable, the SW-846 methods might include Methods 0010, 0011, 0020, 0023A, 0030, 0031, 0040, 0050, 0051, 0060, 0061, 1010A, 1020B, 1110A, 1310B, 1311, 1312, 1320, 1330A, 9010C, 9012B, 9040C, 9045D, 9060A, 9070A (uses EPA Method 1664, Rev. A), 9071B, and 9095B. | ||||
| (i) Sample Collection: Each batch of waste generated over a 4-week period must be collected in containers with a maximum capacity of 20 cubic yards. At the end of the 4-week period, each container must be divided into four quadrants and a single, full-depth core sample shall be collected from each quadrant. All of the full-depth core samples then must be composited under laboratory conditions to produce one representative composite sample for the 4-week period. | ||||
| (ii) Sample Analysis: Each 4-week composite sample must be analyzed for all of the constituents listed in Condition (3). The analytical data, including quality control information, must be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Waste Management, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, 14th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17105. Data from the annual verification testing must be compiled and submitted to the Department within 60 days from the end of the calendar year. All data must be accompanied by a signed copy of the statement set forth in 40 CFR 260.22(i)(12) to certify to the truth and accuracy of the data submitted. Records of operating conditions and analytical data must be compiled, summarized, and maintained on-site for a minimum of 3 years and must be furnished upon request by any employee or representative of the Department, and made available for inspection. | ||||
| (2) Waste Holding: The dewatered filter cake must be stored as hazardous until the verification analyses are completed. If the 4-week composite sample does not exceed any of the delisting levels set forth in Condition (3), the filter cake waste corresponding to this sample may be managed and disposed in accordance with all applicable solid waste regulations. If the 4-week composite sample exceeds any of the delisting levels set forth in Condition (3), the filter cake waste generated during the time period corresponding to the 4-week composite sample must be retreated until it meets these levels (analyses must be repeated) or managed and disposed in accordance with Subtitle C of RCRA. Filter cake which is generated but for which analyses are not complete or valid must be managed and disposed in accordance with Subtitle C of RCRA, until valid analyses demonstrate that the waste meets the delisting levels. | ||||
| (3) Delisting Levels: If the concentrations in the 4-week composite sample of the filter cake waste for any of the hazardous constituents listed below exceed their respective maximum allowable concentrations (mg/l or mg/kg) also listed below, the 4-week batch of failing filter cake waste must either be retreated until it meets these levels or managed and disposed in accordance with Subtitle C of RCRA. WMDSPA has the option of determining whether the filter cake waste exceeds the maximum allowable concentrations for the organic constituents by either performing the analysis on a TCLP leachate of the waste or performing total constituent analysis on the waste, and then comparing the results to the corresponding maximum allowable concentration level. | ||||

| (4) Changes in Operating Conditions: If WMDSPA significantly changes the treatment process or the chemicals used in the treatment process, WMDSPA may not manage the treatment sludge filter cake generated from the new process under this exclusion until it has met the following conditions: (a) WMDSPA must demonstrate that the waste meets the delisting levels set forth in Condition (3); (b) it must demonstrate that no new hazardous constituents listed in Appendix VIII of 40 CFR Part 261 have been introduced into the manufacturing or treatment process; and (c) it must obtain prior written approval from the Department to manage the waste under this exclusion. | ||||
| (5) Reopener: | ||||
| (i) If WMDSPA discovers that a condition at the facility or an assumption related to the disposal of the excluded waste that was modeled or predicted in the petition does not occur as modeled or predicted, then WMDSPA must report any information relevant to that condition, in writing, to the Department within 10 days of discovering that condition. | ||||
| (ii) Upon receiving information described in subparagraph (i) of this Condition, regardless of its source, the Department will determine whether the reported condition requires further action. Further action may include repealing the exclusion, modifying the exclusion, or other appropriate response necessary to protect human health and the environment. | ||||
