Section12.DISPOSAL

I. GENERALCOMMENTS

FederalregulationsdonotrequireremovalofPCBsandPCBItemsfromserviceanddisposalearlierthanwouldnormallybethecase.However,whenPCBsandPCBItems,includingsoilsanddebriscontaminatedwithPCBs,aretoberemovedfromserviceordisposedof,disposalmustbeundertakeninaccordancewithfederalandstaterequirements.

Thesectionwhichfollowsdescribes,indetail,thefederalandstateregulationswhichpertaintothedisposalofPCBcontaminatedsoilsanddebris,PCBtransformersandcapacitors,andPCBcontaminatedtransformers.Inadditiontoadescriptionofthevariousregulatoryapproveddisposalmethods,thissectionwilladdressassociatedrequirementsincludingthosepertainingtothemanifestingoftheseitems.

ItisimportanttorecognizethatdisposaloptionsmaybelimitedbytheconcentrationofPCBswhicharepresentintheitemswhicharetobedisposedof.ForthepurposesofdisposalofitemswhichhavebeencontaminatedbythereleaseofPCBsfromatransformerorcapacitor,theEPAregulationsprovidethattheconcentrationofPCBsinthematerialontowhichthePCBswerespilledisdeterminedbytheconcentrationofPCBsinthespilledoilandnotbytheconcentrationfoundinthematerialitself.Anewoption—theself-implementingplan—isnowavailableforcleanupofoldspillsanddisposalofremediationwastewhichpermitsdisposalbasedontheactualconcentrationinthematerialandnotbytheconcentrationofPCBsinthespilledoil.Theself-implementingplanrulesmustbecarefullyfollowedandarequitedetailed.Ifalargespillsiteisinneedofacleanup,thisplanmayprovidesomeeconomicbenefits.

PleaserememberthatthecooperativeisthegeneratorofPCBsandPCBItems.Thismeansthatwhenyouuseadisposalcompany,arebuilder,oratransportationcompany,evenifyoudoeverythingaccordingtolaw,iftheothercompanydoesnotdisposeofyourPCBscorrectly,youmaybeheldliableforadditionalcostsinthefuture.AnexampleofthisisRoseChemical.Therefore,itisveryimportantthatyouuseonlyreputablecompaniesfordisposalandtransportationofyourPCBwaste.Ifyouwouldlikenames,addressesandtelephonenumbersofdisposalcompanies,orlegaladviceregardingdisposal,pleasecontacttheIowaEnvironmentalGroup.

L. DECONTAMINATION

ThisnewsectionestablishesdecontaminationstandardsandproceduresforremovingPCBsfromcertainmaterials.Disposalapprovalisnotrequired.Onceanitemisdecontaminated,itcansold,usedorreused.

1. Applicabilityandmethods-Decontaminationmethodscanbeappliedtowater,organicfluids,non-poroussurfaces,concreteandcertainporoussurfaces.SomeexamplesofacceptablemethodsofremovingPCBsfromtheiteminclude:chopping,distilling,filtering,oil/waterseparation,spraying,soaking,wiping,strippingofinsulation,scrapingand/orscarification.

2. Standards-Decontaminationcanbeobtainedbyeitherameasurementstandardoraself-implementingprocedure.

Underthemeasurementstandard:

* Watermustbereducedto<200ug/Lfornon-contactuseinaclosedsystem;<3ug/Lforwaterdischargedtoanavigablesystem;or<0.5ug/Lforunrestricteduse.DuetovariousCWAregulations,contactMarkLandaifyouwishtoexercisethisoption.

* Organicliquidsmustbereducedto<2mg/kg

* Non-poroussurfacesmustbereducedto10ug/100cm2forunrestricteduseand<100ug/100cm2forsmelterdisposal.

* Concretemustbereducedto10ug/100cm2ifdecontaminationisstartedwithin72hoursoftheinitialspill.

Underthemeasurementbasedstandard,confirmatorysamplingmustbeperformedandrecordskept.

Undertheself-implementingdecontaminationstandard:

* PCBcontainersmustbetripleflushedwithasolventequaltoabout10%ofcontainer’scapacityandsolventmustcontain<50ppmofPCBs.

* Moveableequipmentmusteither:(1)swabsurfacewithsolvent,or(2)doublewash/rinse.

* Fornon-poroussurfacesincontactwithfree-flowingmineraloildielectricfluid,contacttheIowaEnvironmentalGroupforinstructions.

Forself-implementingdecontamination,keeprecordsofcompliancewiththeregulations.
