No. 43080 (Amendment): Rule R315-261. General Requirements -- Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste
(Amendment)
DAR File No.: 43080
Filed: 07/12/2018 03:35:38 PMRULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
In 2015, the EPA published final revisions to rules regulating the definition of solid waste that exclude certain hazardous secondary materials from regulation. The state of Utah adopted these rules in January of 2016. The federal rules were challenged in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on 07/07/2017, and amended on 03/06/2018, issued orders vacating certain provisions of the 2015 rule and reinstated corresponding provisions from a rule proposed in 2008. The proposed changes incorporate the revisions required by the court's orders.
Summary of the rule or change:
Section R315-261-4 is amended by changing the number of factors at Subsection R315-261-4(23)(ii)(E) to be considered when determining if the recycling is legitimate from four to three and by adding the requirement to consider the factor found at Subsection R315-260-43(b). Section R315-261-4 is amended by removing the term "verified reclamation facility" from Subsection R315-261-4(24) and replacing it with the term "another person". Section R315-261-4 is amended by replacing the requirements at Subsection R315-261-4(24)(v)(B) that required a hazardous secondary material generator to send hazardous secondary materials to a verified reclamation facility with requirements for generators who send their hazardous secondary materials to be recycled to make a reasonable effort to ensure that each reclaimer intends to properly and legitimately reclaim the hazardous secondary materials. Section R315-261-4 is amended by adding a new Subsection R315-261-4(24)(v)(C) that requires a hazardous secondary material generator to maintain documentation that reasonable efforts were made to ensure that each reclaimer intends to properly and legitimately reclaim the hazardous secondary materials. Section R315-261-4 is amended by removing Subsection R315-261-4(24)(vi)(G) which required reclaimers and intermediate facilities to have been granted an exclusion under Subsection R315-260-31(d), which has been deleted by this rule filing, or have a Part B permit. Section R315-261-4 is amended by adding Subsection R315-261-4(25), which was previously reserved. The language added contains the requirements for the exporting of hazardous secondary materials for reclamation in a foreign country. Section R315-261-4 is amended by deleting the phrase, "operating under a verified recycler exclusion under Subsection R315-260-31(d)" from Subsections R315-261-400(a) and (b), 410(e), (f)(1) and (f)(2), 411, 411(b), 411(c) and 411(d)(3), 420, 420(a)(1) and 420(b)(2).
Statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
These rule changes will not affect the state budget because no state governmental entity is a verified recycler of hazardous secondary materials and does not generate or recycle hazardous secondary materials.
local governments:
These rule changes will not affect any local governments because no local governments are verified recyclers of hazardous secondary materials and do not generate or recycle hazardous secondary materials.
small businesses:
It is anticipated that there will be no change in costs or savings to small businesses because there are no small businesses in the state of Utah that are registered as verified recyclers of hazardous secondary materials. Additionally, the change to the factors for determining the legitimacy of recycling operations for hazardous secondary materials simply replaces a mandatory factor with a factor to be considered, but not required, for the process to be considered legitimate.
persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:
It is anticipated that there will be no change in costs or savings to persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governments because there are no such persons in the state of Utah that are registered as verified recyclers of hazardous secondary materials. Additionally, the change to the factors for determining the legitimacy of recycling operations for hazardous secondary materials simply replaces a mandatory factor with a factor to be considered, but not required, for the process to be considered legitimate.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
It is anticipated that there will be no additional compliance costs for affected persons associated with these rule amendments since they replace mandatory requirements with more discretionary considerations.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
Since this rule was adopted in January of 2016 there have been no businesses in the state of Utah that have registered as verified recyclers. Only two businesses have notified the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control, Waste Management that they are engaged in the recycling, either on-site or off-site, of hazardous secondary materials. It is not anticipated that these rule changes will have any fiscal impact on the operation of these facilities.

Inestimable impacts for Non - Small Businesses are described in Appendix 2.
Appendix 2: Regulatory Impact to Non - Small Businesses
This rule change is not expected to have any fiscal impacts on non-small businesses revenues or expenditures, because there are no businesses in the state of Utah that are registered as verified recyclers or intermediate facilities reclaiming hazardous secondary materials. Additionally,there are only two facilities with NAICS codes 33231 and 324110 in the state of Utah that have notified the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control, Waste Management that they are engaged in the recycling, either on-site or off-site, of hazardous secondary materials and these rule changes are not expected to have any fiscal impact on them since they replace mandatory requirements with more discretionary considerations.
The head of Department of Environmental Quality, Alan Matheson, has reviewed and approved this fiscal analysis.

(7) Spent sulfuric acid used to produce virgin sulfuric acid provided it is not accumulated speculatively as defined in Subsection R315-261-1(c).
(8) Secondary materials that are reclaimed and returned to the original process or processes in which they were generated where they are reused in the production process provided:
(i) Only tank storage is involved, and the entire process through completion of reclamation is closed by being entirely connected with pipes or other comparable enclosed means of conveyance;
(ii) Reclamation does not involve controlled flame combustion, such as occurs in boilers, industrial furnaces, or incinerators;
(iii) The secondary materials are never accumulated in such tanks for over twelve months without being reclaimed; and
(iv) The reclaimed material is not used to produce a fuel, or used to produce products that are used in a manner constituting disposal.
(9)(i) Spent wood preserving solutions that have been reclaimed and are reused for their original intended purpose; and
(ii) Wastewaters from the wood preserving process that have been reclaimed and are reused to treat wood.
(iii) Prior to reuse, the wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions described in Subsections R315-261-4(a)(9)(i) and (ii), so long as they meet all of the following conditions:
(A) The wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions are reused on-site at water borne plants in the production process for their original intended purpose;
(B) Prior to reuse, the wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions are managed to prevent release to either land or groundwater or both;

(D) Any drip pad used to manage the wastewaters and/or spent wood preserving solutions prior to reuse complies with the standards in 40 CFR 265.440 through 265.445, which are adopted and incorporated by reference, regardless of whether the plant generates a total of less than 100 kg/month of hazardous waste; and
(E) Prior to operating pursuant to this exclusion, the plant owner or operator prepares a one-time notification stating that the plant intends to claim the exclusion, giving the date on which the plant intends to begin operating under the exclusion, and containing the following language: "I have read the applicable regulation establishing an exclusion for wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions and understand it requires me to comply at all times with the conditions set out in the regulation." The plant shall maintain a copy of that document in its on-site records until closure of the facility. The exclusion applies so long as the plant meets all of the conditions. If the plant goes out of compliance with any condition, it may apply to the Director for reinstatement. The Director may reinstate the exclusion upon finding that the plant has returned to compliance with all conditions and that the violations are not likely to recur.
(10) EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. K060, K087, K141, K142, K143, K144, K145, K147, and K148, and any wastes from the coke by-products processes that are hazardous only because they exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic specified in Section R315-261-24, subsequent to generation, these materials are recycled to coke ovens, to the tar recovery process as a feedstock to produce coal tar, or mixed with coal tar prior to the tar's sale or refining. This exclusion is conditioned on there being no land disposal of the wastes from the point they are generated to the point they are recycled to coke ovens or tar recovery or refining processes, or mixed with coal tar.

(12)(i) Oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials, i.e., sludges, byproducts, or spent materials, that are generated at a petroleum refinery, SIC code 2911, and are inserted into the petroleum refining process, SIC code 2911-including, but not limited to, distillation, catalytic cracking, fractionation, or thermal cracking units, i.e., cokers, unless the material is placed on the land, or speculatively accumulated before being so recycled. Materials inserted into thermal cracking units are excluded under Subsection R315-261-4(12)(i), provided that the coke product also does not exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste. Oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials may be inserted into the same petroleum refinery where they are generated, or sent directly to another petroleum refinery and still be excluded under this provision. Except as provided in Subsection R315-261-4(a)(12)(ii), oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials generated elsewhere in the petroleum industry, i.e., from sources other than petroleum refineries, are not excluded under Section R315-261-4. Residuals generated from processing or recycling materials excluded under Subsection R315-261-4(a)(12)(i), where such materials as generated would have otherwise met a listing under Sections R315-261-30 through R315-261-35, are designated as F037 listed wastes when disposed of or intended for disposal.
(ii) Recovered oil that is recycled in the same manner and with the same conditions as described in Subsection R315-261-4(a)(12)(i). Recovered oil is oil that has been reclaimed from secondary materials, including wastewater, generated from normal petroleum industry practices, including refining, exploration and production, bulk storage, and transportation incident thereto, SIC codes 1311, 1321, 1381, 1382, 1389, 2911, 4612, 4613, 4922, 4923, 4789, 5171, and 5172. Recovered oil does not include oil-bearing hazardous wastes listed in Sections R315-261-30 through 35; however, oil recovered from such wastes may be considered recovered oil. Recovered oil does not include used oil as defined in Subsection 19-6-703(19).
(13) Excluded scrap metal (processed scrap metal, unprocessed home scrap metal, and unprocessed prompt scrap metal) being recycled.
(14) Shredded circuit boards being recycled provided that they are:
(i) Stored in containers sufficient to prevent a release to the environment prior to recovery; and
(ii) Free of mercury switches, mercury relays and nickel-cadmium batteries and lithium batteries.
(15) Condensates derived from the overhead gases from kraft mill steam strippers that are used to comply with 40 CFR 63.446(e). The exemption applies only to combustion at the mill generating the condensates.
(16) Reserved.
(17) Spent materials, as defined in Section R315-261-1, other than hazardous wastes listed in Sections R315-261-30 through 35, generated within the primary mineral processing industry from which minerals, acids, cyanide, water, or other values are recovered by mineral processing or by beneficiation, provided that:
(i) The spent material is legitimately recycled to recover minerals, acids, cyanide, water or other values;
(ii) The spent material is not accumulated speculatively;
(iii) Except as provided in Subsection R315-261-4(a)(17)(iv), the spent material is stored in tanks, containers, or buildings meeting the following minimum integrity standards: a building shall be an engineered structure with a floor, walls, and a roof all of which are made of non-earthen materials providing structural support, except smelter buildings may have partially earthen floors provided the secondary material is stored on the non-earthen portion, and have a roof suitable for diverting rainwater away from the foundation; a tank shall be free standing, not be a surface impoundment, as defined in Section R315-260-10, and be manufactured of a material suitable for containment of its contents; a container shall be free standing and be manufactured of a material suitable for containment of its contents. If tanks or containers contain any particulate which may be subject to wind dispersal, the owner/operator shall operate these units in a manner which controls fugitive dust. Tanks, containers, and buildings shall be designed, constructed and operated to prevent significant releases to the environment of these materials.
(iv) The Director may make a site-specific determination, after public review and comment, that only solid mineral processing spent material may be placed on pads rather than tanks containers, or buildings. Solid mineral processing spent materials do not contain any free liquid. The Director shall affirm that pads are designed, constructed and operated to prevent significant releases of the secondary material into the environment. Pads shall provide the same degree of containment afforded by the non-RCRA tanks, containers and buildings eligible for exclusion.
(A) The Director shall also consider if storage on pads poses the potential for significant releases via groundwater, surface water, and air exposure pathways. Factors to be considered for assessing the groundwater, surface water, air exposure pathways are: The volume and physical and chemical properties of the secondary material, including its potential for migration off the pad; the potential for human or environmental exposure to hazardous constituents migrating from the pad via each exposure pathway, and the possibility and extent of harm to human and environmental receptors via each exposure pathway.
(B) Pads shall meet the following minimum standards: Be designed of non-earthen material that is compatible with the chemical nature of the mineral processing spent material, capable of withstanding physical stresses associated with placement and removal, have run on/runoff controls, be operated in a manner which controls fugitive dust, and have integrity assurance through inspections and maintenance programs.
(C) Before making a determination under Subsection R315-261-4(a)(17)(iv), the Director shall provide notice and the opportunity for comment to all persons potentially interested in the determination. This can be accomplished by placing notice of this action in major local newspapers, or broadcasting notice over local radio stations.
(v) The owner or operator provides notice to the Director providing the following information: The types of materials to be recycled; the type and location of the storage units and recycling processes; and the annual quantities expected to be placed in land-based units. This notification shall be updated when there is a change in the type of materials recycled or the location of the recycling process.
(vi) For purposes of Subsection R315-261-4(b)(7), mineral processing spent materials shall be the result of mineral processing and may not include any listed hazardous wastes. Listed hazardous wastes and characteristic hazardous wastes generated by non-mineral processing industries are not eligible for the conditional exclusion from the definition of solid waste.
(18) Petrochemical recovered oil from an associated organic chemical manufacturing facility, where the oil is to be inserted into the petroleum refining process, SIC code 2911, along with normal petroleum refinery process streams, provided:
(i) The oil is hazardous only because it exhibits the characteristic of ignitability, as defined in Section R315-261-21, and/or toxicity for benzene, Section R315-261-24, waste code D018; and
(ii) The oil generated by the organic chemical manufacturing facility is not placed on the land, or speculatively accumulated before being recycled into the petroleum refining process. An "associated organic chemical manufacturing facility" is a facility where the primary SIC code is 2869, but where operations may also include SIC codes 2821, 2822, and 2865; and is physically co-located with a petroleum refinery; and where the petroleum refinery to which the oil being recycled is returned also provides hydrocarbon feedstocks to the organic chemical manufacturing facility. "Petrochemical recovered oil" is oil that has been reclaimed from secondary materials, i.e., sludges, byproducts, or spent materials, including wastewater, from normal organic chemical manufacturing operations, as well as oil recovered from organic chemical manufacturing processes.
(19) Spent caustic solutions from petroleum refining liquid treating processes used as a feedstock to produce cresylic or naphthenic acid unless the material is placed on the land, or accumulated speculatively as defined in Subsection R315-261-1(c).
(20) Hazardous secondary materials used to make zinc fertilizers, provided that the following conditions specified are satisfied:
(i) Hazardous secondary materials used to make zinc micronutrient fertilizers shall not be accumulated speculatively, as defined in Subsection R315-261-1(c)(8).

(A) Submit a one-time notice to the Director, which contains the name, address and EPA ID number of the generator or intermediate handler facility, provides a brief description of the secondary material that will be subject to the exclusion, and identifies when the manufacturer intends to begin managing excluded, zinc-bearing hazardous secondary materials under the conditions specified in Subsection R315-261-4(a)(20).
(B) Store the excluded secondary material in tanks, containers, or buildings that are constructed and maintained in a way that prevents releases of the secondary materials into the environment. At a minimum, any building used for this purpose shall be an engineered structure made of non-earthen materials that provide structural support, and shall have a floor, walls and a roof that prevent wind dispersal and contact with rainwater. Tanks used for this purpose shall be structurally sound and, if outdoors, shall have roofs or covers that prevent contact with wind and rain. Containers used for this purpose shall be kept closed except when it is necessary to add or remove material, and shall be in sound condition. Containers that are stored outdoors shall be managed within storage areas that:
(I) Have containment structures or systems sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills and accumulated precipitation; and
(II) Provide for effective drainage and removal of leaks, spills and accumulated precipitation; and
(III) Prevent run-on into the containment system.
(C) With each off-site shipment of excluded hazardous secondary materials, provide written notice to the receiving facility that the material is subject to the conditions of Subsection R315-261-4(a)(20).
(D) Maintain at the generator's or intermediate handlers's facility for no less than three years records of all shipments of excluded hazardous secondary materials. For each shipment these records shall at a minimum contain the following information:
(I) Name of the transporter and date of the shipment;
(II) Name and address of the facility that received the excluded material, and documentation confirming receipt of the shipment; and
(III) Type and quantity of excluded secondary material in each shipment.
(iii) Manufacturers of zinc fertilizers or zinc fertilizer ingredients made from excluded hazardous secondary materials shall:
(A) Store excluded hazardous secondary materials in accordance with the storage requirements for generators and intermediate handlers, as specified in Subsection R315-261-4(a)(20)(ii)(B).

(i)(A) The hazardous secondary material is generated and reclaimed at the generating facility, for purposes of this definition, generating facility means all contiguous property owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the hazardous secondary material generator; or
(B) The hazardous secondary material is generated and reclaimed at different facilities, if the reclaiming facility is controlled by the generator or if both the generating facility and the reclaiming facility are controlled by a person as defined in Section R315-260-10, and if the generator provides one of the following certifications: "on behalf of (insert generator facility name), I certify that this facility will send the indicated hazardous secondary material to (insert reclaimer facility name), which is controlled by (insert generator facility name) and that (insert name of either facility) has acknowledged full responsibility for the safe management of the hazardous secondary material," or "on behalf of (insert generator facility name), I certify that this facility will send the indicated hazardous secondary material to (insert reclaimer facility name), that both facilities are under common control, and that (insert name of either facility) has acknowledged full responsibility for the safe management of the hazardous secondary material." For purposes of this paragraph, "control" means the power to direct the policies of the facility, whether by the ownership of stock, voting rights, or otherwise, except that contractors who operate facilities on behalf of a different person as defined in Section R315-260-10 shall not be deemed to "control" such facilities. The generating and receiving facilities shall both maintain at their facilities for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials sent or received under this exclusion. In both cases, the records shall contain the name of the transporter, the date of the shipment, and the type and quantity of the hazardous secondary material shipped or received under the exclusion. These requirements may be satisfied by routine business records, e.g., financial records, bills of lading, copies of DOT shipping papers, or electronic confirmations; or
(C) The hazardous secondary material is generated pursuant to a written contract between a tolling contractor and a toll manufacturer and is reclaimed by the tolling contractor, if the tolling contractor certifies the following: "On behalf of (insert tolling contractor name), I certify that (insert tolling contractor name) has a written contract with (insert toll manufacturer name) to manufacture (insert name of product or intermediate) which is made from specified unused materials, and that (insert tolling contractor name) will reclaim the hazardous secondary materials generated during this manufacture. On behalf of (insert tolling contractor name), I also certify that (insert tolling contractor name) retains ownership of, and responsibility for, the hazardous secondary materials that are generated during the course of the manufacture, including any releases of hazardous secondary materials that occur during the manufacturing process". The tolling contractor shall maintain at its facility for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials received pursuant to its written contract with the tolling manufacturer, and the tolling manufacturer shall maintain at its facility for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials shipped pursuant to its written contract with the tolling contractor. In both cases, the records shall contain the name of the transporter, the date of the shipment, and the type and quantity of the hazardous secondary material shipped or received pursuant to the written contract. These requirements may be satisfied by routine business records, e.g., financial records, bills of lading, copies of DOT shipping papers, or electronic confirmations. For purposes of Subsection R315-261-4(a)(23)(i)(C), tolling contractor means a person who arranges for the production of a product or intermediate made from specified unused materials through a written contract with a toll manufacturer.

(24) Hazardous secondary material that is generated and then transferred to [
a verified reclamation facility]another person for the purpose of reclamation is not a solid waste, provided that:(i) The material is not speculatively accumulated, as defined in Subsection R315-261-1(c)(8);
(ii) The material is not handled by any person or facility other than the hazardous secondary material generator, the transporter, an intermediate facility or a reclaimer, and, while in transport, is not stored for more than 10 days at a transfer facility, as defined in Section R315-260-10, and is packaged according to applicable Department of Transportation regulations at 49 CFR parts 173, 178, and 179 while in transport;
(iii) The material is not otherwise subject to material-specific management conditions under Subsection R315-261-4(a) when reclaimed, and it is not a spent lead-acid battery, see Sections R315-266-80 and R315-273-2;
(iv) The reclamation of the material is legitimate, as specified under Section R315-260-43;
(v) The hazardous secondary material generator satisfies all of the following conditions:
(A) The material shall be contained as defined in Section R315-260-10. A hazardous secondary material released to the environment is discarded and a solid waste unless it is immediately recovered for the purpose of recycling. Hazardous secondary material managed in a unit with leaks or other continuing releases is discarded and a solid waste.
(B) Prior to arranging for transport of hazardous secondary materials to a reclamation facility (or facilities) where the management of the hazardous secondary materials is not addressed under a hazardous waste part B permit or interim status standards, the hazardous secondary material generator shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that each reclaimer intends to properly and legitimately reclaim the hazardous secondary material and not discard it, and that each reclaimer will manage the hazardous secondary material in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment. If the hazardous secondary material will be passing through an intermediate facility where the management of the hazardous secondary materials is not addressed under a hazardous waste part B permit or interim status standards, the hazardous secondary material generator shall make contractual arrangements with the intermediate facility to ensure that the hazardous secondary material is sent to the reclamation facility identified by the hazardous secondary material generator, and the hazardous secondary material generator shall perform reasonable efforts to ensure that the intermediate facility will manage the hazardous secondary material in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment. Reasonable efforts shall be repeated at a minimum of every three years for the hazardous secondary material generator to claim the exclusion and to send the hazardous secondary materials to each reclaimer and any intermediate facility. In making these reasonable efforts, the generator may use any credible evidence available, including information gathered by the hazardous secondary material generator, provided by the reclaimer or intermediate facility, and/or provided by a third party. The hazardous secondary material generator shall affirmatively answer all of the following questions for each reclamation facility and any intermediate facility:
(I) Does the available information indicate that the reclamation process is legitimate pursuant to Section R315-260-43? In answering this question, the hazardous secondary material generator can rely on their existing knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of the hazardous secondary material, as well as information from other sources including the reclamation facility and audit reports about the reclamation process.
(II) Does the publicly available information indicate that the reclamation facility and any intermediate facility that is used by the hazardous secondary material generator notified the appropriate authorities of hazardous secondary materials reclamation activities pursuant to Section R315-260-42 and have they notified the appropriate authorities that the financial assurance condition is satisfied per Subsection R315-261-4(a)(24)(vi)(F)? In answering these questions, the hazardous secondary material generator can rely on the available information documenting the reclamation facility's and any intermediate facility's compliance with the notification requirements per Section R315-260-42, including the requirement in Subsection R315-260-42(a)(5) to notify the Director whether the reclaimer or intermediate facility has financial assurance.
(III) Does publicly available information indicate that the reclamation facility or any intermediate facility that is used by the hazardous secondary material generator has not had any formal enforcement actions taken against the facility in the previous three years for violations of Sections R315-260 through 268, 270, and 273 and has not been classified as a significant non-complier with Sections R315-260 through 268, 270, and 273? In answering this question, the hazardous secondary material generator can rely on the publicly available information from EPA or the state. If the reclamation facility or any intermediate facility that is used by the hazardous secondary material generator has had a formal enforcement action taken against the facility in the previous three years for violations of Sections R315-260 through 268, 270, and 273 and has been classified as a significant non-complier with Sections R315-260 through 268, 270, and 273, does the hazardous secondary material generator have credible evidence that the facilities will manage the hazardous secondary materials properly? In answering this question, the hazardous secondary material generator can obtain additional information from EPA, the state, or the facility itself that the facility has addressed the violations, taken remedial steps to address the violations and prevent future violations, or that the violations are not relevant to the proper management of the hazardous secondary materials.
(IV) Does the available information indicate that the reclamation facility and any intermediate facility that is used by the hazardous secondary material generator have the equipment and trained personnel to safely recycle the hazardous secondary material? In answering this question, the generator may rely on a description by the reclamation facility or by an independent third party of the equipment and trained personnel to be used to recycle the generator's hazardous secondary material.
(V) If residuals are generated from the reclamation of the excluded hazardous secondary materials, does the reclamation facility have the permits required (if any) to manage the residuals? If not, does the reclamation facility have a contract with an appropriately permitted facility to dispose of the residuals? If not, does the hazardous secondary material generator have credible evidence that the residuals will be managed in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment? In answering these questions, the hazardous secondary material generator can rely on publicly available information from EPA or the state, or information provided by the facility itself.
(C) The hazardous secondary material generator shall maintain for a minimum of three years documentation and certification that reasonable efforts were made for each reclamation facility and, if applicable, intermediate facility where the management of the hazardous secondary materials is not addressed under a hazardous waste part B permit or interim status standards prior to transferring hazardous secondary material. Documentation and certification shall be made available upon request by the Director within 72 hours, or within a longer period of time as specified by the Director. The certification statement shall:
(I) Include the printed name and official title of an authorized representative of the hazardous secondary material generator company, the authorized representative's signature, and the date signed;

(H) The name and address of the reclaimer, any intermediate facility and any alternate reclaimer and intermediate facilities; and
(I) The name of any countries of transit through which the hazardous secondary material will be sent and a description of the approximate length of time it will remain in such countries and the nature of its handling while there, for purposes of this section, the terms "EPA Acknowledgement of Consent", "country of import" and "country of transit" are used as defined in 40 CFR 262.81 with the exception that the terms in Section R315-261-4 refer to hazardous secondary materials, rather than hazardous waste:
(ii) Notifications shall be submitted electronically using EPA's Waste Import Export Tracking System, WIETS, or its successor system.
(iii) Except for changes to the telephone number in Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25)(i)(A) and decreases in the quantity of hazardous secondary material indicated pursuant to Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25)(i)(D), when the conditions specified on the original notification change, including any exceedance of the estimate of the quantity of hazardous secondary material specified in the original notification, the hazardous secondary material generator shall provide EPA with a written renotification of the change. The shipment cannot take place until consent of the country of import to the changes, except for changes to Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25)(i)(I) and in the ports of entry to and departure from countries of transit pursuant to Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25)(i)(E), has been obtained and the hazardous secondary material generator receives from EPA an EPA Acknowledgment of Consent reflecting the country of import's consent to the changes.
(iv) Upon request by EPA, the hazardous secondary material generator shall furnish to EPA any additional information which a country of import requests in order to respond to a notification.
(v) EPA will provide a complete notification to the country of import and any countries of transit. A notification is complete when EPA receives a notification which EPA determines satisfies the requirements of Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25)(i). Where a claim of confidentiality is asserted with respect to any notification information required by Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25)(i), EPA may find the notification not complete until any such claim is resolved in accordance with 40 CFR 260.2.
(vi) The export of hazardous secondary material under Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25) is prohibited unless the country of import consents to the intended export. When the country of import consents in writing to the receipt of the hazardous secondary material, EPA will send an EPA Acknowledgment of Consent to the hazardous secondary material generator. Where the country of import objects to receipt of the hazardous secondary material or withdraws a prior consent, EPA will notify the hazardous secondary material generator in writing. EPA will also notify the hazardous secondary material generator of any responses from countries of transit.
(vii) For exports to OECD Member countries, the receiving country may respond to the notification using tacit consent. If no objection has been lodged by any country of import or countries of transit to a notification provided pursuant to Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25)(i) within thirty days after the date of issuance of the acknowledgement of receipt of notification by the competent authority of the country of import, the transboundary movement may commence. In such cases, EPA will send an EPA Acknowledgment of Consent to inform the hazardous secondary material generator that the country of import and any relevant countries of transit have not objected to the shipment, and are thus presumed to have consented tacitly. Tacit consent expires one calendar year after the close of the thirty day period; renotification and renewal of all consents is required for exports after that date.
(viii) A copy of the EPA Acknowledgment of Consent shall accompany the shipment. The shipment shall conform to the terms of the EPA Acknowledgment of Consent.
(ix) If a shipment cannot be delivered for any reason to the reclaimer, intermediate facility or the alternate reclaimer or alternate intermediate facility, the hazardous secondary material generator shall re-notify EPA of a change in the conditions of the original notification to allow shipment to a new reclaimer in accordance with Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25)(iii) and obtain another EPA Acknowledgment of Consent.
(x) Hazardous secondary material generators shall keep a copy of each notification of intent to export and each EPA Acknowledgment of Consent for a period of three years following receipt of the EPA Acknowledgment of Consent. They may satisfy this recordkeeping requirement by retaining electronically submitted notifications or electronically generated Acknowledgements in their account on EPA's Waste Import Export Tracking System, WIETS, or its successor system, provided that such copies are readily available for viewing and production if requested by any EPA or authorized state inspector. No hazardous secondary material generator may be held liable for the inability to produce a notification or Acknowledgement for inspection under Subsection R315-261-4(a)(25) if they can demonstrate that the inability to produce such copies are due exclusively to technical difficulty with EPA's Waste Import Export Tracking System, WIETS, or its successor system for which the hazardous secondary material generator bears no responsibility.
(xi) Hazardous secondary material generators shall file with the Administrator no later than March 1 of each year, a report summarizing the types, quantities, frequency and ultimate destination of all hazardous secondary materials exported during the previous calendar year. Annual reports shall be submitted electronically using EPA's Waste Import Export Tracking System, WIETS, or its successor system. Such reports shall include the following information:
(A) Name, mailing and site address, and EPA ID number, if applicable, of the hazardous secondary material generator;

R315-261-420. Emergency Preparedness and Response for Management of Excluded Hazardous Secondary Materials - Contingency Planning and Emergency Procedures for Facilities Generating or Accumulating More Than 6000 Kg of Hazardous Secondary Material.
A generator or an intermediate or reclamation facility [
operating under a verified recycler exclusion under Subsection R315-260-31(d)]that generates or accumulates more than 6000 kg of hazardous secondary material shall comply with the following requirements:(a) Purpose and implementation of contingency plan.
(1) Each generator or an intermediate or reclamation facility [
operating under a verified recycler exclusion under Subsection R315-260-31(d)]that accumulates more than 6000 kg of hazardous secondary material shall have a contingency plan for his facility. The contingency plan shall be designed to minimize hazards to human health or the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous secondary material or hazardous secondary material constituents to air, soil, or surface water.(2) The provisions of the plan shall be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous secondary material or hazardous secondary material constituents which could threaten human health or the environment.
(b) Content of contingency plan.
(1) The contingency plan shall describe the actions facility personnel shall take to comply with Subsection R315-261-420(a) and (f) in response to fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous secondary material or hazardous secondary material constituents to air, soil, or surface water at the facility.
(2) If the generator or an intermediate or reclamation facility [
operating under a verified recycler exclusion under Subsection R315-260-31(d)]accumulating more than 6000 kg of hazardous secondary material has already prepared a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with 40 CFR 112, or some other emergency or contingency plan, he need only amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are sufficient to comply with the requirements of Rule R315-261. The hazardous secondary material generator or an intermediate or reclamation facility [operating under a verified recycler exclusion under Subsection R315-260-31(d)]may develop one contingency plan which meets all regulatory requirements. The Director recommends that the plan be based on the National Response Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance ("One Plan"). When modifications are made to non-hazardous waste provisions in an integrated contingency plan, the changes do not trigger the need for a hazardous waste permit modification.(3) The plan shall describe arrangements agreed to by local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, contractors, and State and local emergency response teams to coordinate emergency services, pursuant to Subsection R315-262-410(f).
(4) The plan shall list names, addresses, and phone numbers, office and home, of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator, see Subsection R315-261-420(e), and this list shall be kept up-to-date. Where more than one person is listed, one shall be named as primary emergency coordinator and others shall be listed in the order in which they shall assume responsibility as alternates.
(5) The plan shall include a list of all emergency equipment at the facility, such as fire extinguishing systems, spill control equipment, communications and alarm systems, internal and external, and decontamination equipment, where this equipment is required. This list shall be kept up to date. In addition, the plan shall include the location and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief outline of its capabilities.
(6) The plan shall include an evacuation plan for facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This plan shall describe signal(s) to be used to begin evacuation, evacuation routes, and alternate evacuation routes, in cases where the primary routes could be blocked by releases of hazardous waste or fires.
(c) Copies of contingency plan. A copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to the plan shall be:
(1) Maintained at the facility; and
(2) Submitted to all local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, and State and local emergency response teams that may be called upon to provide emergency services.
(d) Amendment of contingency plan. The contingency plan shall be reviewed, and immediately amended, if necessary, whenever:
(1) Applicable regulations are revised;
(2) The plan fails in an emergency;
(3) The facility changes-in its design, construction, operation, maintenance, or other circumstances-in a way that materially increases the potential for fires, explosions, or releases of hazardous secondary material or hazardous secondary material constituents, or changes the response necessary in an emergency;
(4) The list of emergency coordinators changes; or
(5) The list of emergency equipment changes.
(e) Emergency coordinator. At all times, there shall be at least one employee either on the facility premises or on call, i.e., available to respond to an emergency by reaching the facility within a short period of time, with the responsibility for coordinating all emergency response measures. This emergency coordinator shall be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the facility's contingency plan, all operations and activities at the facility, the location and characteristics of hazardous secondary material handled, the location of all records within the facility, and the facility layout. In addition, this person shall have the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the contingency plan. The emergency coordinator's responsibilities are more fully spelled out in Subsection R315-261-420(f). Applicable responsibilities for the emergency coordinator vary, depending on factors such as type and variety of hazardous secondary material(s) handled by the facility, and type and complexity of the facility.
(f) Emergency procedures.
(1) Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the emergency coordinator, or his designee when the emergency coordinator is on call, shall immediately:
(i) Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems, where applicable, to notify all facility personnel; and
(ii) Notify appropriate State or local agencies with designated response roles if their help is needed.
(2) Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency coordinator shall immediately identify the character, exact source, amount, and areal extent of any released materials. The emergency coordinator may do this by observation or review of facility records or manifests and, if necessary, by chemical analysis.
(3) Concurrently, the emergency coordinator shall assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the release, fire, or explosion. This assessment shall consider both direct and indirect effects of the release, fire, or explosion, e.g., the effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating gases that are generated, or the effects of any hazardous surface water run-offs from water or chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced explosions.
(4) If the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has had a release, fire, or explosion which could threaten human health, or the environment, outside the facility, he shall report his findings as follows:
(i) If his assessment indicates that evacuation of local areas may be advisable, the emergency coordinator shall immediately notify appropriate local authorities. The emergency coordinator shall be available to help appropriate officials decide whether local areas should be evacuated; and
(ii) The emergency coordinator shall immediately notify the Utah Department of Environmental Quality 24 hour answering service at 801/536-4123, and the National Response Center, using their 24-hour toll free number 800/424-8802. The report shall include:
(A) Name and telephone number of reporter;
(B) Name and address of facility;
(C) Time and type of incident, e.g., release, fire;
(D) Name and quantity of material(s) involved, to the extent known;
(E) The extent of injuries, if any; and
(F) The possible hazards to human health, or the environment, outside the facility.
(5) During an emergency, the emergency coordinator shall take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other hazardous secondary material at the facility. These measures shall include, where applicable, stopping processes and operations, collecting and containing released material, and removing or isolating containers.
(6) If the facility stops operations in response to a fire, explosion or release, the emergency coordinator shall monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or other equipment, wherever this is appropriate.
(7) Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator shall provide for treating, storing, or disposing of recovered secondary material, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results from a release, fire, or explosion at the facility. Unless the hazardous secondary material generator can demonstrate, in accordance with Subsections R315-261-3(c) or (d), that the recovered material is not a hazardous waste, the owner or operator becomes a generator of hazardous waste and shall manage it in accordance with all applicable requirements of Rules R315-262, 263, and 265.
(8) The emergency coordinator shall ensure that, in the affected area(s) of the facility:
(i) No secondary material that may be incompatible with the released material is treated, stored, or disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed; and
(ii) All emergency equipment listed in the contingency plan is cleaned and fit for its intended use before operations are resumed.
(9) The hazardous secondary material generator shall note in the operating record the time, date, and details of any incident that requires implementing the contingency plan. Within 15 days after the incident, he shall submit a written report on the incident to the Director. The report shall include:
(i) Name, address, and telephone number of the hazardous secondary material generator;
(ii) Name, address, and telephone number of the facility;
(iii) Date, time, and type of incident, e.g., fire, explosion;
(iv) Name and quantity of material(s) involved;
(v) The extent of injuries, if any;
(vi) An assessment of actual or potential hazards to human health or the environment, where this is applicable; and
(vii) Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material that resulted from the incident.
(g) Personnel training. All employees must be thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and emergency procedures relevant to their responsibilities during normal facility operations and emergencies.
