    PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
    PROPOSED OPINION
    AND
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by 3. Anderson):
    By Order attached hereto, pursuant to Section 7.2 and
    22
    4(a) of the Environmental Protection Act
    (Act), the Board is
    proposing to amend the Illinois RCRA hazardous waste regulations.
    This proposed amendment for an exclusion for treated waste is
    intended to be identical-in—substance to an exclusion adopted by
    USEPA on April
    29,
    1991.
    The federal RCRA regulations are found
    at 40 CFR 260 through 270.
    The history of the corresponding
    Illinois RCRA regulations, together with more stringent State
    regulations particularly applicable to hazardous waste, can be
    found in the March 28,
    1991 Proposed Opinion of the Board in
    docket R91—1.
    Section 22.4(a) provides for quick adoption of regulations
    establishing the RCRA program in Illinois when those regulations
    are “identical
    in substance” to federal regulations.
    Identical—
    in-substance rulemakings are not subject to Title VII of the Act
    or Section
    5 of the Administrative Procedure Act and, therefore,
    are not subject to first or second notice review by the Joint
    Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR).
    (Ill.
    Rev.
    Stat.
    1989,
    ch.
    111 1/2, par. 1022.4(a).)
    Instead, the Board will receive
    public comment for 45 days after the date of publication of this
    proposed rule in the Illinois Register.
    HISTORY
    On March
    1,
    1990, USEPA delegated authority to Illinois to
    administer several additional components of the RCRA program.
    (55 Fed. Reg.
    7320.)
    This included Board authority to delist
    hazardous waste in lieu of USEPA and pursuant to 35
    Ill. Adm.
    Code 720.122.
    As a result of the USEPA delegation of delisting
    authority, the Board’s identical—in—substance regulations
    required modification.
    On July 19,
    1990, the Board opened R90-
    17 to modify the identical-in-substance regulations by replacing
    incorporations by reference with the verbatim text tailored to
    fit Illinois procedures, and by adopting the use of the adjusted
    standards procedures in lieu of the site specific procedures.
    R90—17, which amended 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.120,
    720.122,
    721.110
    and 721.111, was adopted by the BoaLd on February 28,
    1991,
    and
    123—75

    became effective on May 9,
    1991.
    (Several modifications to R90-
    17 were made in a Board Order of April
    11,
    1991.)
    On July
    5,
    1990, the Board received a letter from the USEPA
    concerning the transfer of the
    USX
    Steel delisting petition and
    file.
    A docket was reserved on July 19, 1990 and the USEPA file
    was transferred on August 27,
    1990.
    On November
    9,
    1990, USX
    notified the Board that USEPA had agreed to reopen its file and
    make a final determination on the delisting petition.
    The reason
    for USEPA’s action was stated in Section III of the final rule
    as:
    (B)ecause EPA was close to issuing the final exclusion for
    USX, the Agency believes it is proper and appropriate to
    follow through with its decision.
    While
    a
    Federal
    delisting
    will not have any immediate effect within an authorized
    State,
    such action may expedite the implementation of the
    final exclusion by allowing Illinois the option of adopting
    the Federal rule directly, and thereby avoiding the need for
    the State to complete its own time-consuming administrative
    process for delisting.
    (56
    Fed. Reg.
    19586)
    The Board granted USX a six month extension on November 29,
    1990
    to await final action by USEPA.
    On April 29,
    1991, USEPA published its final decision
    granting an exclusion from hazardous waste lists for specific
    wastes generated by USX.
    On May 9,
    1991, USX requested the Board
    to “accept without further review the delisting” of the specified
    hazardous waste.
    The Board,
    in the interests of expeditiously
    finishing this proceeding and on its own motion, reserved docket
    R91-12 for an identical-in—substance rulemaking in this matter.
    The original docket,
    R90-18, will be dismissed by separate Order.
    Since the transfer of this proceeding from R90-18 to R91-12
    is
    made on the Board’s own motion, and in accordance with an October
    11, 1991 Board Order in R90-18, the filing fee is hereby waived.
    PROPOSED AMENDMENT
    The proposed
    RCRA
    amendment in this rulemaking affects 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 721.Appendix
    I.
    The purpose of Part 721 is to:
    identify
    those solid wastes which are subject to
    regulation as hazardous wastes and which are subject to
    the notice requirements of Section 3010 of the Resource
    Conservation and Recovery Act
    (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.).
    35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 721.101.
    Subpart D of Part 721 contains lists of hazardous wastes
    classified according to the Hazard Codes
    (35 Ill. Adm. Code
    123—76

    3
    721.130).
    A hazardous waste may be excluded from the Subpart D
    lists, or “delisted,” in an identical—in—substance proceeding
    pursuant to 35 Ill.
    Adin.
    Code 120.120(a).
    Delisted wastes are
    listed in Part 721, Appendix I.
    Appendix
    I was adopted and
    amended in the following actions:
    R81—22
    43 PCB 427, Adopted;
    5
    Ill. Reg. 9781,
    effective
    May 17,
    1982.
    R85—2
    69 PCB 314, April 24,
    1986;
    10 Ill.
    Reg.
    8112,
    effective May 2,
    1986.
    R8730
    90 PCB 665: June ~O: 1988;
    12 Ill. Reg.
    12070,
    effective July 12,
    1988.
    The Board has made two changes to the text of the USEPA
    delisting and has a number of questions about procedural and
    implementation aspects of the delisting.
    The first change is in
    condition 1 of the proposed exclusion where the Board has added a
    statement that the SW-846 methodolgies are incorporated by
    reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.
    In condition 3, the
    Board has also altered the phrase “conditions
    (1) (A) or
    (1) (B)”
    to read “conditions (l)(A)
    or
    (B)” to conform to Illinois
    drafting practice.
    The Board requests that USEPA, the Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency
    (IEPA) and USX submit comments on at least the
    following questions.
    With reference to questions
    2 through 4,
    the Board would appreciate comments on how the delegation of
    delisting authority affects these questions.
    1)
    Are the testing requirements of condition
    1
    (A) and
    (B)
    correctly analyzed pursuant to ~
    methodologies, as
    opposed to TCLP methodologies?
    2)
    Should USX send the data submittals required by
    condition 3 to the IEPA in addition to USEPA?
    3)
    Pursuant to condition 3, who has the authority
    (“discretion”) to revoke the exclusion
    -
    USEPA,
    IEPA,
    or both?
    4)
    If USEPA decides to modify or withdraw the exclusion,
    should USEPA notify IEPA,
    the Board,
    or both?
    5)
    Is there an equivalent state statute to 18 U.S.C.
    §6928,
    as cited in condition 3, which needs to be
    included?
    In addition to the amendments to Appendix I, the Board
    proposes to correct several typographical errors in Section 721
    at this time.
    First,
    in Table A and Table B of Appendix
    I of
    123—77

    4
    Part 721, the word crystallization is misspelled.
    This will be
    corrected.
    In the table of contents for Part 721 the word
    subpart is misspelled at Subpart
    B.
    This also will be corrected.
    ORDER
    The following proposed amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code

    To ensure that
    hazardous constituents are not present
    in the waste at levels of regulatory
    concern, the facility must implement a
    contingency testing program for the
    petitioned wastes.
    This testing program
    must meet the following conditions
    for
    the exclusions to be valid:
    123—80

    7
    1)
    Each batch of treatment residue
    must be representatively-sampled
    and tested using the EP Toxicity
    test for arsenic, barium,
    cadmium,
    chromium,
    lead,
    selenium, silver,
    mercury, and nickel.
    If the
    extract concentrations for
    chromium,
    lead, arsenic, and silver
    exceed 0.315 ppm; barium levels
    exceed 6.3 ppm; cadmium and
    selenium exceed 0.063 ppm; mercury
    exceeds 0.0126 ppm; or nickel
    levels exceed 2.205 ppm, the waste
    must be re—treated or managed and
    disposed as a hazardous waste under
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 722 to 725 and
    the permitting standards of 35 Ill.
    Adm.
    Code 702, 703, and 705.
    2)
    Each batch of treatment residue
    must be tested for reactive and
    leachable cyanide.
    If the reactive
    cyanide levels exceed 250 ppm or
    leachable cyanide levels
    (using the
    EP Toxicity test without acetic
    acid adjustment)
    exceed 1.26 ppm,
    the waste must be retreated or
    managed and disposed as a hazardous
    waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722
    to 725 and the permitting standards
    of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and
    705.
    3)
    Each batch of waste must be tested
    for the total content of specific
    organic toxicants.
    If the total
    content of anthracene exceeds 76.8
    ppm,
    1,2-diphenyl hydrazine exceeds
    0. 001 ppm, methylene chloride
    exceeds 8.18 ppm, methyl ethyl
    ketone exceeds 326 ppm, n—
    nitrosodiphenylamine exceeds 11.9
    ppm, phenol e~cceeds1,566 ppm,
    tetrachloroethylene exceeds 0.188
    ppm, or trichloroethylene exceeds
    0.592 ppm, the waste must be
    managed and disposed as a hazardous
    waste under 35 Ill.
    Adm.. Code 722
    to 725 and the permitting standards
    of 35 111.
    Adm. Code 702, 703, and
    705.
    123—8 1

    8
    4)
    A grab sample must be collected
    from
    each batch to form one monthly
    composite sample which must be
    tested using gas chromatography,
    mass spectrometry analysis for the
    compounds listed in No.3 above as
    well as the remaining organics on
    the Priority Pollutant List
    (incorporated by reference,
    see 40
    CFR 423 App. A
    (1983)
    (as adopted
    at 47 Fed. Reg. 52,309
    (Nov.
    19,
    1982)), not including later
    amendments).
    5)
    The data from conditions
    1-4 must
    be kept on file at the facility for
    inspection purposes and must be
    compiled, summarized, and submitted
    to the Administrator of USEPA by
    certified mail semi—annually.
    The
    USEPA will review this information
    and if needed will propose to
    modify or withdraw the exclusion.
    Should USEPA propose to modify or
    withdraw the exclusion, Envirite
    shall promptly provide notice
    thereof to the Board.
    The decision
    to conditionally exclude the treat-
    ment residue generated from the
    wastewater treatment systems at
    Envirite’s Harvey, Illinois
    facility applies only to the
    wastewater and solids treatment
    systems as they presently exist as
    described in the delisting petition
    submitted to the USEPA.
    The
    exclusion does not apply to the
    proposed process additions
    described in the petition sub-
    mitted to USEPA as recovery includ-
    ing ery3talization crystallization,
    electrolytic metals recovery,
    evaporative recovery, and ion
    exchange.

    Waste Description
    Amoco Oil Company
    150 million gallons of DAF float from
    Wood River, Illinois
    petroleum refining contained in four
    surge ponds after treatment with the
    Chemfix stabilization process.
    This
    exclusion applies to the 150 million
    gallons of waste after chemical
    stabilization as long as the mixing
    ratios of the reagent with the waste are
    monitored continuously and do not vary
    outside of the limits presented in the
    demonstration samples; one grab sample
    is taken each hour from each treatment
    unit,
    composited, and EP toxicity tests
    performed on each sample.
    If the levels
    of lead or total chromium exceed 0.5 ppm

    To ensure that hazardous constituents
    are not present in the waste at levels
    of regulatory concern, the facility must
    implement a contingency testing program
    for the petitioned wastes.
    This testing
    program must meet the following
    conditions for the exclusions to be
    valid:
    1)
    Each batch of treatment residue
    must be representatively sampled
    and tested using the EP Toxicity
    test for arsenic, barium,
    cadmium,
    chromium,
    lead,
    selenium, silver,
    mercury, and nickel.
    If the
    extract concentrations for
    chromium,
    lead,
    arsenic, and silver
    exceed 0.315 ppm; barium levels
    exceed 6.3 ppm; cadmium and
    selenium exceed 0.063 ppm; mercury
    exceeds 0.0126 ppm; or nickel
    levels exceed 2.205 ppm, the waste
    must be re—treated or managed and
    disposed as a hazardous waste under
    35 Iii. Adm. Code 722 to 725 and
    the permitting standards of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 702,
    703, and 705.
    2)
    Each batch of treatment residue
    must be tested for reactive and
    leachable cyanide.
    If the reactive
    cyanide levels exceed 250 ppm; or
    leachable cyanide levels
    (using the
    EP Toxicity test without acetic
    acid adjustment) exceed 1.26 ppm,
    the waste must be re—treated or
    managed and disposed as hazardous
    waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722
    to 725 and the permitting standards
    of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and
    705.
    3)
    Each batch of waste must be tested
    for the total content of specific
    organic toxicants.
    If the total
    content of anthracene exceeds 76.8
    ppm,
    1,2-diphenyl hydrazine exceeds
    123—84

    705.
    4)
    A grab sample must be collected
    from each batch to form one monthly
    composite sample which must be
    tested using gas chromatography,
    mass spectrometry analysis for the
    compounds listed in No.

    amendments).
    5)
    The data from conditions 1-4 must
    be kept on file at the facility for
    inspection purposes and must be
    compiled,
    summarized, and submitted
    to the USEPA Administrator by
    certified mail semi-annually.
    The
    USEPA will review this information
    and if needed will propose to
    modify or withdraw the exclusion.
    Should USEPA propose to modify or
    withdraw the exclusion, Envirite
    shall promptly provide notice
    thereof to the Board.
    The decision
    to conditionally exclude the
    treatment residue generated from
    the wastewater treatment systems at
    Envirite’s Harvey, Illinois
    facility applies only to the
    wastewater and solids treatment
    systems as they presently exist as
    described in the delisting petition
    submitted to the USEPA.
    The
    excluzion does not apply to the
    proposed process additions describ—

    the primary production of. steel after
    April
    29,
    1991.
    This exclusion (for
    35.000 tons of CSEAFD per year)
    is
    conditioned upon the data obtained from
    USX’s_full—scale CSEAFD treatment
    facility.
    To ensure that hazardous
    constituents are not present in the
    waste at levels of regulatory concern
    once the full-scale treatment facil.ity
    is in operation, USX must implement a
    testing program for the petitioned
    waste.
    This testing program must meet
    the following conditions for the
    exclusion to be valid:
    ~
    Testing:
    Sample collection and
    analyses (including quality control
    (OC) procedures)
    must be performed
    according to SW-846 methodologies.
    The SW-846 methodologies are
    incorporated by reference in 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.
    ~
    Initial Testing:
    During the
    first four weeks of operation
    of the full scale treatment
    system, USX must collect
    representative grab samples of
    each treated batch of the
    CSEAFD and composite the grab
    samples daily.
    The daily
    composites.
    prior to disposal.
    must_be analyzed for the EP
    leachate concentrations of all
    the EP toxic metals, nickel.
    and cyanide (using distilled
    water in the cyanide
    extractions), and the total
    concentrations of reactive
    sulfide and reactive cyanide.
    USX must report the analytical
    123—86

    13
    test data,
    including quality
    control infc~rmation,obtained
    during this initial-period no
    later than 90 days after the
    treatment of the first full—
    scale batch.
    ~
    Subsequent Testing:
    USX must
    collect representative grab
    samples from every treated
    batch of CSEAFD generated
    daily and composite all of the
    grab samples to produce a
    weekly composite sample.
    USX
    then must analyze each weekly
    composite sample for all of
    the EP toxic metals, and
    nickel.
    The analytical data,
    including quality control
    information, must be compiled
    and maintained on site for a
    minimum of three years.
    These
    data must be furnished upon
    request and made available for
    inspection by any employee or
    representative of EPA or the
    State of Illinois.
