R315-268-48. Land Disposal Restrictions -- Universal Treatment Standards  


Latest version.
  •   (a) Table UTS 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 Subsection R315-268-2(i), 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 following Table UTS.

    Footnotes to Table UTS


    1 CAS means Chemical Abstract Services. When the waste

     code and/or regulated constituents are described as a

     combination of a chemical with it's salts and/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, inpart, based upon

     incineration in units operated in accordance with the

     technical requirements of Sections R315-264-340 through

     351 or 40 CFR 265.340 through 352, which are adopted by

     reference, 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 provisions in Subsection

     R315-268-40(d).

      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

     9012B, found in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste,

     Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW-846, as

     incorporated by reference in Section R315-260-11, with a

     sample size of 10 grams and a distillation time of one hour

     and 15 minutes.

    5 These constituents are not "underlying hazardous

     constituents" in characteristic wastes, according to the

     definition at Subsection R315-268-2(i).

    7 This constituent is not an underlying hazardous

     constituent as defined at Subsection R315-268-2(i) because

     its UTS level is greater than its TC level, thus a

     treatment 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 D004-D011 only.
