A. Explanation.

HBK AS-553, May 1992

1. USPS Commitment. The Postal Service is committed to a nationwide pollution prevention program designed to improve environmental quality and set a positive example for residents and private businesses in every community it serves. Hazardous waste management, a major component of that program, involves implementing practices to reduce or eliminate hazardous wastes before these wastes are generated and to ensure that hazardous wastes are handled in a way that will protect human health and the environment and meet all legal requirements.

2. Contents. This handbook provides the policies and procedures that postal managers need to develop and implement hazardous waste management activities. It indicates how to identify hazardous waste, sets quantifiable goals for minimizing that waste, and provides guidance on using the waste reduction planning process to achieve waste minimization goals. This handbook also explains what users, generators, transporters, treaters, storers, and disposers of hazardous waste must do to comply with federal, state, and postal regulations, including emergency response measures that must be taken at postal facilities.

3. Revisions. This handbook will be revised to modify pollution prevention policies and strategies as needed to reflect new legislation and regulations.

king regulated hazardous waste. This handbook provides informa- + Responsibilities tion to assist you in identifying such hazardous waste. It outlines planning, program, and project requirements and explains postal policy regarding the use, generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. The document provides guidance on complying with federal, state, local, and Postal Ser- vice regulations, and it establishes Postal Service performance standards.

112 Background

112.1 Importance of Hazardous Waste Management Hazardous waste management has become a critically important concem in recent years. Improper handling and disposal of hazardous wastes has damaged water supplies and threatened human health. The costs of waste disposal and liability are escalating. Landfilling of many hazardous wastes is now banned. There are few commercial hazardous waste disposal facilities, and their capacity is limited. Reducing the amount of hazardous waste generated by the Postal Service is the most economical and environmentally sound approach to meeting legal requirements (Exhibit 112.1). Waste minimization is not only economically feasible, it is the law. Lack of a hazardous waste program exposes the Postal Service to civil, criminal, and administrative penalties. Postal managers can be held personally liable by federal and state enforcement authorities for violation of hazardous waste laws. To protect the Postal Service and its employees, an integrated hazardous waste management program must be implemented with initiatives for reducing the use of hazardous waste.

112.2 Pollution Prevention Program Hazardous waste management is the third phase of the Postal Service pollution prevention program. The first phase-recycling- is covered in Handbook AS-550, Recycling Guide. The second phase-waste reduction-is covered in Handbook AS-552, Waste Reduction Guide. Forthcoming phases include stormwater management, underground storage tank management, and other programs.

113 Policy In performing its mission to provide prompt, reliable, and efficient postal services to all communities, the Postal Service will conduct its activities in a cost-effective manner that protects human health and the environment. In establishing postal regulations and prac-

tices, the Postal Service will, as appropriate, follow the guidelines for environmental protection that are set forth in the Administra- tive Support Manual 550. The Postal Service’s highest priority in the area of hazardous waste management-as well as in waste reduction in general-is to minimize the amounts of potentially hazardous and toxic substances that it uses. Postal priorities for hazardous waste management are source reduction, recycling, energy conservation and recovery, waste treatment, and (as a last resort) waste disposal.

114 Scope The policies and guidelines in this handbook apply to all Postal Service managers, programs, projects, products, and services.

115 Objectives The focus of the hazardous waste management program is to investigate opportunities, identify options, and perform feasibility analyses to reduce the amounts of potentially hazardous and toxic materials used by the Postal Service. Substituting nonhazardous for hazardous wastes, recycling, reusing and recovering materials, and better housekeeping must become key management practices. In addition, hazardous waste must be handled in a way that will protect human health and the environment and meet all legal mandates. By implementing a strong hazardous waste management program, the Postal Service will reduce costs, paperwork, liability, and pollution, as well as create a cleaner, safer, and more efficient work environment. In particular, the program aims to develop realistic and safer alternatives to the use of toxic substances, with the goal of reducing hy one-third by 1994 and one-half by 1995 (relative to 1993 levels) the use of the 17 targeted chemicals listed in Exhibit 115.

116 KeyTerms Definitions of technical terms used in this handbook are found in the Glossary. The following terms are central to the discussion of hazardous waste management: a . Hazardous Waste. By-products of society that can pose a hazard

or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly managed. Federal regulations place hazardous wastes into two categories: (1) Characteristic Wastes. Wastes that are ignitable, corrosive,

reactive, or toxic. (2) Listed Wastes. Specific wastes that are included on any of

four lists included in the Resource Conservation and Re- covery Act (RCRA) regulations (see Appendix A).

b. Source Reduction. Any action taken before waste is generated

c . Toxic Substance. A substance that is harmful to living organisms-specifically, an asphyxiant, poison, mutagen (alters DNA), teratogen (causes birth defects), or carcinogen (causes cancer).

d . Unknown Substance. A substance of unknown composition or characteristics.

that reduces its volume and toxicity. ~ ~~

Handbook AS-553, May 1992

Hazardous Waste Management Guide 117

e. Waste. Any material discarded as worthless, defective, or of no further use that, when disposed of, may pose a threat to human health or the environment.

f. Waste Minimization. The reduction, to the extent feasible, of hazardous waste that is generated or subsequently treated, stored, or disposed. It includes any source reduction or recycling activity undertaken by a generator that results in ( I ) the reduction of total volume or quantity of hazardous waste; (2) the reduction of toxicity of hazardous waste; or (3) both, as long as the reduction is consistent with the goal of minimizing present and future threats to human health and the environment.

g. Waste Reduction. Any change in a process, operation, or activity that results in the economically efficient reduction in waste material per unit of production without reducing the value output of the process, operation, or activity.

h. Waste Stream. A specific type of waste leaving a facility or operation.

117 Use of Exhibits To meet postal waste minimization goals and comply with federal, state, and postal requirements pertaining to hazardous waste, all postal facilities and programs must carefully assess current practices. To aid in this assessment, several of the chapters in this handbook include checklists or worksheets for use by managers. For example, Exhibit 121.2 at the end of this chapter is a checklist that should help managers determine if their facilities comply with federal and state regulations.

120 Laws and Regulations 121 Primary Laws 121.1 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 .ll General The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) addresses (1) dangers to human health and the environment posed by improper waste disposal and (2) conservation of valuable material and energy resources. Exhibit 121.11a briefly summarizes RCRA’s requirements; RCRA regulations can be found in Title 40 Part 260 et seq. of the Code of Federal Regulations. In particular, RCRA mandates a “cradle-to-grave” system that tracks hazardous waste from its origin through its ultimate disposal (Exhibit 121.1 1 b). Regulations adopted by the Postal Service to carry out that man- date extend to facilities and operations that generate, transport, store, treat, and dispose of hazardous waste. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers RCRA and requires that state programs he consistent with federal RCRA regulations. In some states, more stringent requirements have been added to address special problems within those states. For example, several states consider waste oils and PCBs as hazardous, whereas others do not. Other provisions of RCRA, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, address quality of landfills, surface waters, and underground storage tanks. These provisions have expanded requirements for groundwater monitoring and cleanup at permitted facilities. The result has been sweeping changes in the ways hazardous wastes must he managed certain wastes have been banned from land disposal; tighter controls have been placed on small quantity generators; and regulation of used oil and facilities inspections have gone into effect.

.12 Enforcement State agencies that administer hazardous waste programs are required to adequately enforce compliance. In 1991, there were approximately 48 states authorized by EPA to enforce some component of their own hazardous waste regulatory program. EPA and state and local health and environmental officials, upon presenting proper identification at any reasonable time, may enter and inspect any establishment-including any postal facility-where hazardous waste is being stored, handled, processed, disposed of, or treated to recover resources. Exhibit 121.12 at the end of this chapter is an example of a checklist used by hazardous waste inspectors. These officials may also: a. Obtain samples of waste from any authorized person. The in-

specting officer must provide the Postal Service a receipt de- scribing the sample taken and, when requested, a portion of each sample equal in volume or weight to the portion retained. If analysis of the sample is made, the Postal Service must be furnished promptly with the results of the analysis.

b. Stop and inspect any vehicle reasonably suspected of transporting hazardous waste when the investigator is accompanied by a uniformed police officer in a clearly marked vehicle.

c. Inspect and copy any records required to be kept under the hazardous waste control laws.

Generators

Under RCRA, generators of hazardous waste are subject to requirements that ensure proper management of hazardous waste. Many RCRA requirements-such as personnel training, disposal only to a permitted treatment, storage, or disposal facility, and manifesting requirements-are investments that result in a significant minimization of future liabilities.

Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilltles

Treatment, storage, and disposal facilities have stringent operation and design criteria to prevent environmental releases. These facilities are required to adhere to regulations pertaining to groundwater monitoring, containers, tanks, surface impoundments, waste piles, and landfills. In addition, treatment, storage, and disposal facilities must meet certain financial requirements: financial assurance for closure and postclosure and liability coverage for injury and property damage.

Exhibit 121.11a, Overview of RCRA Requirements

d. Photograph any waste container and its label, vehicle, waste treatment process, waste disposal site, or violation found during the inspection (in compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations) complying with all reasonable security, safety, and sanitation measures specified by the operator.

Note: All records, reports, or information obtained by an inspection will be available to the public unless EPA and the Postal Service find that the information is entitled to the protection of confidentiality under Section 1905 of Title 18 of the US. Code.

.13 Penalties for Non-compliance Failure to comply with RCRA regulations can result in costly civil penalties. Moreover, postal managers, employees, and contractors who neglect or violate some provisions of the law are subject to significant individual criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment. Specifically, Section 3008 of RCRA Subtitle C states

that if any person knowingly transports, treats, stores, or disposes of any hazardous waste without a permit and commits a violation and knows at that time that he or she is placing another person in

conduct manifests an unjustified and inexcusable disregard for human life, then this person shall be subject to a maximum fine of $250,000 or imprisonment for not more than fifteen years, or both. In the case of a corporation, the maximum fine is $1 million. Under RCRA, persons liable for criminal penalties are those who knowingly: a. Transport any hazardous waste to a facility that does not have a

permit. b. Dispose of any hazardous waste without having obtained a

permit. c. Make any false statement or representation in any application,

label, manifest, record, report, permit, or other document file maintained or used for purposes of compliance.

121.2 Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA, or Superfund) provides for the cleanup of inactive and abandoned hazardous waste sites. As indicated in Exhibit 121.2, CERCLA has the same hasic objectives as RCRA; however, RCRA aims to avoid the creation of hazardous waste problems, whereas CERCLA addresses these problems once they exist. CERCLA imposes liability-on any or all parties responsible for the release of hazardous substances-for the costs of cleaning up those substances. Under CERCLA, the Postal Service remains responsible for the proper management of waste even after it leaves Postal Service property. The strict joint and several liability provisions established in CERCLA can lead to costly investigative and cleanup activities at waste disposal sites. These must be avoided.

121.3 Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 The Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (TSCA) regulates the manufacture, use, and disposal of chemical substances. TSCA establishes a mechanism for pathering data to determine the potential health and environmental risks of chemicals and for using those data to support restrictions on the manufacture or use of those chemicals.

122 Other Laws 122.1 Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 establishes a national policy that pollution should he prevented or reduced at the source wben- ever feasible.

122.2 Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 require the prevention of releases to the atmosphere of hazardous and toxic agents. Al- though chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are not classified as hazardous waste, CFCs must he recovered or recycled and not vented to the atmosphere. See Handbook AS-55 1, Clean Air Act Compliance Guide (to be issued in spring 1992), for further information.

122.3 Clean Water Act The Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of hazardous pollutants into the nation’s surface waters.

122.4 Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act The Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act regulates waste disposal at sea.

122.5 Occupational Safety and Health Act The Occupational Safety and Health Act regulates hazards in the workplace, including worker exposure to hazardous substances.

122.6 Safe Drinking Water Act The Safe Drinking Water Act regulates contaminant levels in drinking water.

130 Responsibilities 131 General The Postal Service is legally and socially responsible for safely managing the hazardous materials used in its operations and the waste it produces. As discussed in Chapter 2, all postal managers must determine which, if any, of the wastes they generate are hazardous, as well as the quantity of such wastes at their facilities. Managers involved with hazardous waste must comply with policies, regulations, and procedures identified in this handbook. Spe- cifically, postal managers at all organizational levels must: a. Develop and maintain a waste reduction program that places

highest priority on minimizing the use of potentially hazardous and toxic materials.

b. Encourage the purchase of recoverable materials that are less toxic substitutes for hazardous materials, where practicable.

c. Ensure that hazardous wastes are properly stored and labeled. d. Conduct, encourage, and promote the coordination of research

investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, and studies related to: (1) Protecting employee health. (2) Planning and financing waste management systems, in-

(3) Improving waste disposal methods and resource recovery. (4) Restricting the use of certain categories of chemical prod-

e. Become familiar with regulations pertinent to the operation of a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste and to the permitting process.

f. Periodically review waste disposal contractors and waste disposal facilities to ensure that each is complying with conditions of permits and regulations. Manifests must be obtained show- ing proper transportation and disposal of postal wastes.

g. Be knowledgeable of hazardous waste requirements for transporters and ensure that off-site shipments of hazardous waste are labeled, marked, and placarded according to US. Depart- ment of Transportation and EPA requirements, as described in this handbook.

h. For each facility that generates hazardous waste, designate an ad hoc hazardous waste coordinator to assist in the proper management of hazardous waste and to coordinate response measures in the event of a hazardous waste emergency (see section 135).

132 Headquarters 132.1 Senior Assistant Postmaster General, Administrative Services Group The Senior Assistant Postmaster General, Administrative Services Group, is the Chief Environmental Officer for the Postal Service and is responsible for the overall development of plans, policies, and procedures to implement this program.

132.2 All Departments All departments must manage their respective functional areas to ensure compliance with hazardous waste laws and implement the intent of this bandhook.

132.3 Environmental Management Division, Administrative Services Group The Environmental Management Division, Administrative Ser- vices Group, is responsible for developing integrated environmental policies and methods for compliance with RCRA, CERCLA, TSCA, the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, and other federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. This division also will serve as an information center and assist in developing an education program to provide information ahout pollution prevention and the importance of properly managing-and minimizing- hazardous wastes.

133 Regions The regional environmental steering committees must ensure management participation and compliance at all levels of the field organization and provide assistance to field division environmental coordinators. Regional environmental coordinators are responsible for program implementation, development, tracking, monitoring, and reporting: they must assess postal compliance with environmental laws and recommend processes or procedural corrections to deviations from the goal of providing safer, cleaner, more efficient, and cost-effective solutions to hazardous waste problems. Regions will provide comprehensive status reports to Head- quarters for a National Environmental Reporting and Database System (NERDS).

134 Divisions Each field division general manager is responsible for implementing the hazardous waste management program and designating a division environmental coordinator to assist each facility manager and hazardous waste coordinator in developing, tracking, monitoring, and reporting on hazardous waste minimization projects and programs. The division environmental coordinator is responsible for implementing sound environmental practices outlined in this handbook and for assisting functional managers regarding hazardous materials and waste. The division environmental coordinator should also compile and maintain an inventory of postal facilities and the chemicals specific to each. Field divisions must develop appropriate recordkeeping systems for waste management and minimization; must maintain manifests, biennial reports, contingency plans, employee training records, agency inspection reports,

135 Hazardous Waste Coordinators To assist the Postal Service in the proper management of hazardous waste, each facility that generates hazardous waste must designate a coordinator for the postal hazardous waste management program. This is an ad hoc responsibility. Working with the division environmental coordinator and facility manager, and as part of the waste assessment team, the hazardous waste coordinator must ensure that: a

The various operations and processes within the postal facility are surveyed to determine where chemicals are used. The sur- vey must consider the raw materials and equipment used to achieve the facility’s objectives. The hazardous waste coordinator should then identify where waste is generated and where it can be minimized. All waste streams are analyzed and quantified. The figures generated from the analyses will be used to satisfy the reporting requirements for compliance by field divisions, regions, postal headquarters, and outside agencies. Current waste handling procedures within the facility and departments are identified and the routine self-inspections are conducted at least monthly. Inspections facilitate proper lahel- ing and storage practices and assist the facility and division in the timely management of wastes. Process altematives are identified. Where possible, the coordinator should recommend to management the substitution of nonhazardous and environmentally benign materials. The field division environmental coordinator will endeavor to have equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and other vendors help identify other possible sources of waste reduction. Alternatives to landfilling of hazardous wastes-such as recycling, brokering usable products to other departments, chemical substitutions, and incineration-are identified. Empty drums must be considered for return to the manufacturer or sold to a drum recycler. Waste management vendors available to the division are identified and evaluated. Where possible, the division environmental coordinator will visit the facilities of vendors used for waste analysis, treatment, transportation, and disposal to ensure compliance with environmental laws and postal policies. Purchasing changes designed to reduce the generation of solid or hazardous waste are identified and recommended to management. Appropriate authorities are immediately notified in the event of a hazardous waste emergency and all necessary measures are taken to protect health, safety, and the environment. Hazardous waste reports are submitted to the division environmental coordinator.

Note; Additional waste assessment team responsibilities are discussed in section 422.

Introduction - All postal managers and contractors must determine if any of the wastes generated at postal facilities are hazardous and, if so, how much of these wastes they generate and store. In general, these determinations should be made during the development of facility- specific waste reductionplans, which are discussedin Chapter4 of this handbook, as well as in Handbook AS-552, Waste Reduction Guide. This chanter nrovides the definitions and guidelines that

Definition of Hazardous Waste

Chapter 2 Hazardous Waste ~d~~~~~~~~~~~~


221 General Postal managers must be familiar with the definition of hazardous waste, which may vary slightly from state to state. A waste is a material no longer used for its original intended purpose that is stockpiled for disposal. In plain language, waste is considered hazardous when it may cause or significantly contribute to an increase in serious illness or may pose a substantial hazard to human health, safety, or welfare or to the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, used, disposed of, or otherwise managed. Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste is considered hazardous if it falls into either of the following categories: listed wastes and characteristic wastes.

222 Listed Wastes A waste may he considered hazardous if it appears on any one of the four lists of hazardous wastes contained in the RCRA regulations. These wastes have been listed because they exhibit one or more of the characteristics described below or contain any number of toxic constituents that have been shown to be harmful to human health and the environment. The RCRA regulations list hundreds of hazardous wastes, including wastes derived from nonspecific sources (so-called F Wastes), manufacturing process (K Wastes), and discarded chemical products (P and U Wastes). These lists can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 261, Subpart D. Appendix A of this handbook contains a list of hazardous substances, including their identification numbers assigned under RCRA regulations. The acutely hazardous chemicals specifically targeted for reduction are listed in Exhibit 115 in Chap- ter 1. Although postal policy targets all hazardous substances for reduction, acutely hazardous wastes have priority for elimination or substitution by replacement of non-toxic materials.

223 Characteristic Waste Even though a waste does not appear on one of the hazardous wastes lists, it is considered a hazardous waste if it exhibits any one

21

223): a. Ignitability. Easily catches fire, with a flash point of less than

140°F. b. Corrosivity. Easily corrodes materials or human tissue, very

acidic or alkaline (pH less than 2 or greater than 12.5). c. Reactivity. Explosive, reacts with water or acid, unstable. d. Toxicity. Causes local or systemic damages and may result in

adverse health effects in an organism-that is, an asphyxiant (such as carbon monoxide), poison (such as oil), mutagen (a chemical that alters DNA), teratogen (one that causes birth defects), or carcinogen (one that causes cancer).

Note: More detailed information on the specific characteristics of and criteria for identifying RCRA characteristic waste is located in Appendix B.

224 Mixed Wastes Mixing listed hazardous waste with other nonhazardous waste causes the entire waste to be classified as hazardous. In addition, managers should keep in mind that hazards can result from chemical reactions when incompatible materials are combined (for example, a toxic gas is formed when ammonia is combined with chlorine bleach). See Exhibit 224 for lists of potentially incompatible waste.

225 Excluded Waste Some states have determined that certain wastes-such as domestic sewage, fly ash and bottom ash, household hazardous waste, and discarded, untreated wood-are not subject to regulation as a hazardous waste. Postal managers should check with state environmental agencies to find out which wastes are excluded from regulation.

230 Identifying Postal Hazardous Waste 231 General

maintenance and equipment repair facilities, print shops, ~ ~ ~~~

Hazardous wastes can be found at postal laboratories, vehicle

groundskeeping operations, and elsewhere. Commonly found examples are waste oil, solvents, cracked or leaking batteries, pesticides and herbicides that have expired and can no longer serve their intended function, inks, used paint thinner and degreasers, old paint, and hazardous materials spilled or recovered. Exhibits 231a and 231b describe hazardous wastes often found at postal vehicle maintenance and equipment repair facilities. Exhibit 231c at the end of this chapter is a multipurpose checklist that will enable managers at all postal facilities to identify RCRA solid and hazardous wastes. A hazardous waste log (shown in Exhibit 231d) should be used to list the names of hazardous chemicals as soon as they are identified, and the log should be updated as necessary. If questions arise as to whether or not a specific waste is hazardous, contact state regulatory officials for classification.

233 Unknown Substances When a material of unknown origin is discovered on a postal site, assume the material is hazardous until it can be determined otherwise. Use extreme caution. Try to identify the materials involved. Look for any labels identifying the contents of the container. The contents may be identified by name or by a “Listed Waste” number. Chapter 5 contains more detailed guidance on handling unknown substances. ~~

234 Hazardous Waste in the Mail ~~ ~

Some items transported in the mails may contain hazardous materials and may be subject to spills and leaks within mail processing areas. The Postal Service has hazardous waste policies for control- ling such releases and limiting the transportation of dangerous materials. (See Management Instruction MI-EL810-9-6, Haz- ardous Materials Spill or Leak Standard Operating Procedures. For further information, refer to Handbook EL-812, Employee AwarenesMazardous Materials and the Domestic Mail Manual.) General mail facilities use very limited amounts of hazardous substances in their operations and usually are not generators of hazardous wastes.


243.1 -- -__I__ - Hazardous Waste Management Guide

240 Hazardous Waste Generator Categories 241 General The Environmental Protection Agency and the appropriate state environmental management departments classify generators of hazardous waste into three categories according to the rate at which the facility generates hazardous wastes and how much it accumn- lates on-site. Each category has differentreporting and recordkeeping requirements, and every Postal Service facility must meet the requirements determined by its classification. This means that hazardous waste generated by laboratories, printing shops, vehicle maintenance and equipment repair facilities, training facilities, photoprocessing operations, and groundskeeping units must he measured to determine generator status. For the measurements to he meaningful, managers must know which wastes are classified as hazardous in their states. For example, if waste oil is considered hazardous, it must be measured along with other hazardous waste. Exhibit 241 summarizes the applicable requirements for each of the three generator categories.

242 Conditionally Exempt Generators Conditionally exempt generators, called very small quantity generators in some states, are facilities that generate no more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) per month of hazardous waste, generate no more than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) per month of acutely hazardous wastes, and accumulate no more than 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) of hazardous waste on their property. (There is no time limit for this accumulation as long as the 1,000 kilograms is not exceeded.) As a rule of thumb, a 55-gallon drum of hazardous waste is about 200 kilograms (440 pounds). This means that a postal facility is classified as conditionally exempt if it generates less than one-half of a 55-gallon drum per month or accumulates no more than five 55-gallon drums at any one time. As long as the Postal Service facility remains conditionally exempt, hazardous waste must he disposed of at a hazardous waste facility, or other facility approved by the state for industrial or municipal wastes, on the condition that the operating authority of the landfill accepts the waste. If hazardous waste management practices result in a postal facility losing its conditionally exempt status, all requirements for small generators must be met.

243 Small Quantity Generators 243.1 General Small quantity generators are facilities that generate between 100 kilograms and 1,000 kilograms (220 to 2200 pounds) per month of hazardous waste, generate no more than I kilogram (2.2 pounds) per month of acutely hazardous waste, and accumulate on-site no more than 6,000 kilograms (13,200 pounds) of hazardous waste. Most Postal Service facilities that use hazardous materials are categorized as small quantity generators. Postal facilities in this category should undertake efforts to minimize the amount of hazardous waste generated so that they can become conditionally exempt. However, as long as they remain small quantity generators, they must meet the following requirements.

244 - Hazardous Waste Management Guide

243.2 Accumulation Time Limit Postal Service managers at facilities classified as small quantity generators must ship hazardous waste to EPA- or state-approved and -authorized Treatment, Storage, or Disposal Facilities (TSDF) so that such waste is not stored on Postal Service property for more than 180 days-except if the waste must be transported greater than 200 miles, in which case the waste may be stored up to 270 days. MaQagers of facilities that reach the 6,000-kilogram (1 3,200- pound) accumulation limit for total hazardous waste on site must immediately ship the waste to a TSDF. Containers and drums must be labeled and dated on thefirst day that any hazardous waste is placed in them. Wastes must not be transferred from one container to another to extend the allowable accumulation time. Postal Ser- vice managers should seek assistance from state environmental management authorities in locating an authorized transporter and facility for hazardous waste treatment or disposal.

243.3 On-site Treatment The small quantity generator may treat hazardous waste without a special permit if the treatment takes place within the 180-day or 270-day time limit for storage, if all container and tank storage requirements described in chapter 5 are followed, and if all necessary precautions are taken to prevent spills or accidents. The facility manager should discuss and clear on-site treatment of hazardous wastes with the state environmental management agency before start of operations to ensure that applicable regulations have been followed.

244 Large Quantity Generators Large generators are facilities that generate 1,000 kilograms or more (2,200 pounds) per month of hazardous wastes (or 1 kilogram per month of acutely hazardous waste). These facilities are not eligible for exemptions, and postal managers must abide by all requirements of the law. At the same time, these managers should make efforts to reduce the amount of hazardous waste generated so the facility becomes a small quantity generator.

Chapter 3 Recordkeeping and Reporting

310 Introduction Accurate recordkeeping is essential to a successful hazardous waste management program. Complete and up-to-date records are necessary to comply with environmental regulations and to prepare reports that are required by state and federal authorities, as well as by internal postal regulations. This chapter describes standard reporting requirements and the types of records that managers must keep to meet those requirements. Postal management, including managers at conditionally exempt facilities, and contractors must be familiar with these requirements. Exhibit 310a summarizes the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of hazardous waste generators, as well as hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. Exhibit 310b at the end of this chapter is a checklist to help ensure compliance with principal federal regulations.

320 Notification After determining that a facility is classified as a small or large quantity generator of hazardous waste, the manager at that facility must obtain an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identification number used to track hazardous waste. The manager must contact the appropriate state environmental management agency and request a copy of EPA form 870&12, “Notification of Regu- lated Waste Activity” (Exhibit 320). Refer to Appendix F for state hazardous waste contacts.

Exhibit 330b, Required Hazardous Waste Manifest Cycle

330 Manifests Unless the facility is classified as conditionally exempt, postal managers must ensure that a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Form 8700-22, shown in Exhibit 3304 is used for any hazardous waste that is transported off-site. The manifest-which identifies the type and quantity of waste, the generator, the transporter, and the facility to which the waste is being shipped-must accompany the waste wherever it travels (see Exhibit 330h). When the waste arrives at its final destination, the operator of that facility must acknowledge receipt by retuming a copy of the manifest to the postal facility. Postal managers must retain copies of manifests for at least three years.

340 Exception Reports If a postal manager at a large quantity facility does not receive a signed copy of a manifest from the designated treatment, storage, or disposal facility within thirty-five days after pickup, the manager must contact the transporter and designated facility to ascertain the status of the waste. If the manifest is not retumed within forty-five days of initial shipment, then the manager must file an exception report with the EPA regional administrator or state agency.

350 Biennial Reports

350.1 General If a postal facility is classified as a large quantity generator, the postal manager must file an EPA Hazardous Waste Report (Form 870&13A/B) to the EPA-designated state or regional office every two years. Appendix E contains the forms used in the 1991 report. The following information must be included in the report: a. All RCRA hazardous waste streams and acutely hazardous

waste streams that were generated, shipped off-site, or treated, disposed of, or recycled at your site.

b. All RCRA hazardous waste streams that were received from off-site.

e. All hazardous waste streams managed in units exempt from RCRA permitting requirements.

f. Hazardous waste streams generated as a result of RCRA Cor- rective Action or other remedial activity.

g. RCRA hazardous waste streams generated at Superfund remediation sites.

h. For on-site hazardous waste management units subject to RCRA permitting requirements, the RCRA and total capacity, influent, and effluent.

360 Toxic Emissions Reports Postal Service facilities with more than 10 employees may have to report annually information on toxic emissions to all media (air, water, and land) during the previous calendar year. The reporting requirement applies only if the Postal Service facility used more than 10,000 pounds of any one or more of the chemicals listed as hazardous substances by EPA. EPA’s Form R must be completed and submitted by July 1 of each year reporting the emission information. As a result of recent revisions mandated by Congress, the Form R report must include, among other things, the following: a. Quantity of chemical entering any waste stream or otherwise

released to the environment prior to recycling treatment or disposal for the calendar year in which the report is filed.

b. The percentage change from the previous year. c. The amount of chemical from the facility that is recycled on- or

off-site during the calendar year. d. The percentage change from the previous year and the process

in which the chemical is used. e. Source reduction practice used with respect to that chemical

during such year at the facility. f. Amount expected to he reported under provisions a and c above

for the two calendar years for which the report is filed. g. Techniques used to identify source reduction opportunities. h. Amount of any toxic chemical released into the environment

that resulted in a catastrophic event, remedial action, or other one-time event.

i. Amount of that chemical from the facility that is treated on- or off-site during such calendar year and percentage change from the previous year.

370 Personnel Qualifications and Records Postal managers and contractors must keep the following records: a. The job title for each position related to hazardous waste man-

agement, and the individual filling each job. b. A written job description for each job listed, including the skill,

education, or other qualifications and duties assigned to the position.

c. A written description of the type and amount of training (introductory and continuing) that will be given.

d. Documentation that the required training has been completed (Exhibit 370).

e. Records, which must be maintained until closure of the facility. (Records for former employees must be maintained for three years after the position has been vacated).

f. Waivers for training expense requirements.

380 Contingency Plans As described in Chapter 6, every postal facility that generates hazardous waste, except conditionally exempt facilities, must prepare a contingency plan for responding to fires, explosions, spills, and other unintended releases of hazardous waste. A copy of a facility’s contingency plan and all revisions must be maintained at the facility. In addition, copies must be submitted to local police and fire departments, hospitals, and state and local emergency response teams that might be called upon to provide emergency services; the Postal Service regional and division environmental coordinators; and the divisional manager, Safety and Health. The contingency plan must be reviewed and immediately amended, if necessary, whenever the plan fails in an emergency, the facility design changes, the list of emergency coordinators changes, or the facility’s emergency equipment changes. An example of an emergency plan is included in Appendix D. Facilities must develop a specific contingency plan based on the example.

390 Emergency Notifications In the event of a fire, explosion, or other release that could threaten human health inside or outside the facility or when postal management has knowledge that a spill has reached surface waters, managers must immediately notify local emergency agencies, division environmental coordinators, the Field Division General Manager/ Postmaster, regional coordinators, the appropriate state environmental agency, and the National Response Center. Refer to Chap- ter 6 of this handbook for more specific details.

410 Introduction Hazardous waste minimization must be an integral part of postal operations. Each postal facility manager must develop a facility- specific waste reduction plan that covers both hazardous and nonhazardous waste. The broad elements of this plan-as described in Handbook AS-552, Waste Reduction Guide-are waste- stream assessment, opportunities and priorities, identification of waste reduction approaches, feasibility analyses, facility-specific goals, and an annual review of achievements (Exhibit 410). Be- cause hazardous wastes pose the greatest potential dangers, this chapter focuses on use of this planning process to manage and minimize hazardous wastes. Some private companies have reduced hazardous waste up to 98 percent. They have eliminated bad batches, leaks, and spills through diligent maintenance and employee awareness programs. Postal managers must also become leaders in this area.

420 Waste-stream Assessment 421 General A waste-stream assessment is a systematic review of facility processes, technologies, and procedures. It is an essential first step toward establishing a waste minimization program, selecting

appropriate waste minimization techniques, and setting the goals of that program. The immediate results of the assessment should include the following: a. A full description of all hazardous waste streams and points of

origin-to be verified. b. A list of all hazardous waste minimization practices already in

place identified during the pre-inspection review-to be verified and evaluated.

c. A list of potential waste minimization options identified during pre-assessment-to be verified.

d. A list of other opportunities for reducing waste that might work for the specific type of operation being assessed.

422 Assessment Team The first task is to select an assessment team (Exhibit 422). The specific make-up of the team will vary depending on the size and nature of the facility. Each team should include the facility’s hazardous waste coordinator and other people with direct responsibility and knowledge of the particular waste streams and operations of the facility.

423 Data Collection The assessment team should begin by examining products and processes used, chemical storage and handling methods, types of hazardous materials at the facility, quantities and composition of wastes generated, disposal or recycling methods, and regulated activities. The numerous types of records available at the facility (such as manifests, MSDSs, invoices, contracts, reports, operating manuals, and policy statements) should provide a wealth of waste stream, environmental, economic, and other pertinent information. During this phase of the assessment, inspectors can focus on facility maintenance and operation to identify how and why each waste stream is generated. Handbook AS-550, Recycling Guide, and Handbook AS-552, Waste Reduction Guide, provide further guidance. The age of the facility and plans for upgrading also should be noted here during the assessment.

424 Identification of Candidate Waste Streams Once the assessment team has reviewed all the background information, the known and likely postal hazardous waste streams must be listed. Waste streams to consider include wastewater effluents; air emissions, including stack and fugitive emissions (for example, tank evaporation losses); and solid wastes. Points of any waste generation should be diagrammed and described in a pre-assessment report. Of particular importance when reviewing each waste stream is the need to determine whether the wastes are hazardous or nonhazardous; other physical and chemical characteristics of wastes and emissions; actual points of generation; quantities and rates of generation, including variations; any handling, treatment, or storage on-site; and current costs of the facility’s waste management program. Compiling data from records, process flow dia- grams, and manifests will offer the Postal Service a broad overview

of its hazardous waste activities. Reviewing this information will help determine which changes will reduce the short- and long-term costs of waste management. Finally, the team should complete a checklist, such as that shown in Exhibit 424 at the end of this chapter, to ensure that all pertinent information is collected. The list can contain objectives, questions, and issues to be resolved, and further information requirements.

425 Facility Review and Waste-stream Analysis After the waste streams are identified, the facility review takes place. Team members should familiarize themselves with the site and resolve questions that may have arisen during the preliminary review, help identify missing or inaccurate information, verify the accuracy of the waste flow diagram, and also provide additional information to supplement that obtained earlier. Throughout the site visit, team members should use the observation checklist, ask questions about the items discussed above, and look for specific opportunities to reduce waste. Among other things, the team should observe material transfer, handling, and storage procedures; determine sources of all production waste, waste flow quantity, and concentration; look for evidence of leaks or spills; review the inventory of materials; and check the condition of pipes, pumps, tanks, valves, and storage and delivery areas, as well as efficiency of waste treatment units and waste stream mixing. As indicated in Exhibit 425, hazardous waste might be found in almost any restricted area of the facility. For each waste stream, the following information should he available: a. Point of origin. b. Subsequent handling, treatment, and disposal. c. Physical and chemical characteristics. d. Quantity. e. Rate of generation (for example, pounds per unit of product per

f. Variations in generation rate. g. Potential for contamination or upset. h. Cost to manage or dispose.

minute or hour or 8-hour day).

430 Opportunities and Priorities All hazardous waste streams must be candidates for minimization or elimination. High-quantity and frequently generated hazardous waste streams, which will vary, depending on the type of facility, have the greatest potential for minimization. For example, the hazardous waste streams at a vehicle maintenance facility might contain high quantities of waste oil and lead-acid batteries, while a Bulk Mail Center’s hazardous waste stream might contain large amounts of solvents.

440 Waste Reduction Approaches 441 Options 441.1 General After identifying opportunities for waste minimization, postal managers must determine the best approach for minimizing each type of hazardous waste. In identifying options, source reduction options should be listed first, followed by recycling options. The



Source Reduction Me(xures

Segregation Purchasing changes

Q Use of refillable or recyclable containers Product substitution

reason for this order is that source reduction is the Postal Service’s preferred means of reducing waste. The assessment team should consider treatment options only after they identify acceptable waste minimization techniques.

441.2 Source Reduction .21 General Source reduction through source control is an effective method of waste minimization at each postal facility. Source reduction measures include segregation, purchasing changes, use of refillable or recyclable containers, and product substitution, such as substitution of non-toxic for toxic substances. There are three general methods of source control applicable to the Postal Service and outlined in Handbook AS-552: input material changes, technology changes, and good operating practices.

.22 Input Material Changes By using smaller amounts of hazardous material during work activities, the quantity of hazardous waste generated can be reduced. For example, by rinsing paint brushes first in used paint thinner, virgin paint thinner is only used for the final rinse. It is also important to maintain an accurate inventory of hazardous material. See Exhibit 441.22 for a sample of an Inventory/Ship- ping Report. Avoid stockpiling large quantities of hazardous materials-creating storage, recordkeeping, permitting, and hazardous waste disposal problems. Purchase only what is needed.

.23 Technology Changes By utilizing newer technologies to perform work activities, the amount of hazardous waste generated can be reduced. For example, hazardous solvent usage can be reduced by substituting non-toxic substances and by recycling.

2 4 Good Operating Practices Adhering to good housekeeping practices is generally the most effective tool for minimizing waste at postal facilities. Postal facilities should: a. Control hazardous material inventory by:

(I) Ordering only the amount of hazardous material needed to perform an activity.

(2) Sending unused portions of hazardous materials that are no longer useful to the facility to the division storage facility or another office that needs the material.

(3) Storing hazardous materials in neat, orderly, segregated areas.

b. Store hazardous materials in their original containers that are

441.3 Recycling Recycling is a preferred method of waste minimization for postal facilities. Common examples of recycling currently used by postal facilities are described in Handbook AS-550, Recycling Guide. Specifically important to hazardous waste management are those items categorized in Handbook AS-550 as special waste.

442 Evaluation of Preliminary Waste Minimization Options

Upon conclusion of the facility review, the team should list several management options for a single waste stream or process. The list of options should include those operating practices made obvious during the assessment process. Some common sense practices include the following: a. Segregating solid wastes from aqueous waste streams and haz-

b. Starting a maintenance program to prevent spills and leaks. c . Preventing overflows by installing adequate storage capacity or

d. Installing holding tanks for washwaters and rinsewaters for

e. Implementing measures to conserve water.

443 Ranking of Waste Minimization Options A successful, cost-effective assessment identifies many waste minimization options. Identifying those options that offer real potential to reduce postal waste and related costs is essential. The screening procedure can range from an informal review and decision by the hazardous waste coordinator or the team members to quantitative decision-making tools. General priorities for a waste minimization program should be determined. Consideration must be given to some of the following: a. Wastes with high disposal costs. b. Wastes under strict environmental regulation (for example, the

California land ban restricts the disposal of certain wastes so a business may have no choice but to reduce that waste).

~~

tions.

The assessment team, in coordination with the division environmental coordinator, should then discuss results and recommendations of the first screening and the ranking of waste minimization actions. The screening activity should promote the options to be



1 analyzed for technical and economic feasibility. During the screening procedure, assessors should consider the following questions: a. What is the main benefit gained by implementing this option

(for example, economics, compliance, liability, or workplace safety)?

b. Does the technology exist to develop the option? c. How much does it cost? Is it cost-effective? d. Can the option he implemented within a reasonable amount of

time without disrupting production? e. Does the option have a good “track record”? If not, is there

convincing evidence that the option will work as required? f. Does the option have a good chance of success? (A successful

start for a waste minimization program will gain wider accep- tance as the program progresses.)

g. What other benefits will occur?

445 Final List These discussions should lead to the final ranking of the most reasonable options. First priority should he given to options (such as procedural changes) that are inexpensive and quickly implemented.

450 Feasibility Analyses Before selecting particular waste minimization options, postal managers must assess the economic and regulatory feasibility of their plans and then prioritize possible options according to costs and environmental considerations. The basic economic goal of any waste minimization project is to minimize (or eliminate) waste disposal costs and input material costs. Techniques may he short term, such as inventory control, or longer term, such as process modifications. In many cases, just one or two technically feasible and cost-effective alternatives exist. In some cases, several techniques used together may effectively reduce the hazardous waste. For example, the first technique may he to segregate a waste stream to enable recovery and reuse on-site. The assessment team must estimate the savings in the following areas: disposal fees, transportation costs, pre-disposal treatment costs, raw materials I) Disposal fees costs, and operating and maintenance costs. However, in making the economic evaluation, the postal team should also compare the estimated operating costs of the option and the actual operating costs of the existing system. To do so, the team needs to analyze the following factors: a. Reduced waste management costs. b. Input material cost savings. c. Contractor and liability savings. d. Changes in costs associated with quality. e. Changes in utilities costs. f. Changes in operating and maintenance labor, burden, and ben-

efits.

460 Facility-Specific Goals The end-result of the planning process should be a program plan that sets long-term goals and provides strategies to resolve hazardous waste problems. Managers should set specific targets for the various hazardous wastes generated at their facilities. In particular, they must aim to reduce by one-third by 1994 and one-half by 1995 (relative to 1993 levels) the use of the 17 hazardous chemicals identified in Exhibit 115b in chapter 1 . Operational, procedural, or materials changes to minimize wastes (without changing equipment) should he implemented as soon as the potential cost savings have been determined. For projects with equipment changes, installing a waste minimization project is essentially no different from any other postal capital improvement project. The phases of the project include planning, design, procurement, and construction.

470 Annual Review 471 General A waste minimization assessment should not he a one-time project. Regular re-evaluation of goals is necessary because of changes in available technology, raw material supplies, environmental regulations, economic climate, and other unforeseen factors. At all postal facilities classified as small or large quantity generators, the goals should he reviewed annually. This annual review should be carried out by the division environmental coordinator, the postal manager at the facility, and the hazardous waste coordinator. As the program becomes more defined, the goals should be revised to reflect any changes. Options that do not measure up to their original performance expectations may require reworking.

-~ 472 Measurement The easiest way to measure waste minimization is by recording the ~

quantities of hazardous waste generated before and after a waste minimization project has been implemented (Exhibits 472a and 472h). However, this simple measurement ignores other factors also affecting the quantity of waste generated. Managers should measure the total quantity of an individual waste stream as well as the individual hazardous waste components. The experience gained

Chapter 5 Handling, Storage, Shipment, and Disposal

510 Introduction All postal facilities and equipment must be maintained and operated to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or any other unplanned (sudden or nonsudden) release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could threaten human health or the environment. Even after the hazardous waste leaves a postal facility, the postal manager may be liable for any damage that it creates-no matter where the waste ends up. Chapter 4 described how to minimize these risks, and emergency procedures are discussed in Chapter 6. This chapter provides postal managers with information needed to ensure that hazardous waste is handled, stored, transported, and disposed of safely, in an environmentally sound manner, and in full compliance with government and postal regulations.

520 Handling 521 General It cannot be emphasized enough that great care must be taken when handling hazardous materials in any capacity. Managers and contractors working on-site must ensure that proper maintenance'and good housekeeping practices described in Chapter 4 occur in their facilities. The inventory control measures described inExhibit 521 are among the easiest and most cost-effective ways to minimize hazardous wastes and ensure that such wastes do not harm the work environment.

522 Vehicle Maintenance and Equipment Repair Facilities

Within the Postal Service, vehicle maintenance and equipment repair facilities generate the largest quantities of hazardous wastes. These wastes include oil, paint, solvents, antifreeze, and batteries. Vehicle maintenance sites have been designed to minimize the discharge of potentially harmful pollutants. Paved parking areas are normally equipped with catch basins, leaching chambers, and oil/water separators to enhance pollutant removal and improve quality groundwater recharge. Catch basins must be cleaned at least twice a year to remove trapped sediment and litter, and oil/ water separators must be visually checked once per month and cleaned out at least twice each year. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on facility needs and unique site conditions. Calcium magnesium acetate should be used instead of road salt for de-icing site driveways and parking areas in winter. This material is considered to be the most environmentally sound product currently available for de-icing. De-icing materials and antifreeze must be stored in an inside storage area.

Uesl Maria g ernent 1Practic:es Q Clean catch basins

Check and clean oil/water separators Use calcium magnesium acetate for de-icing Store de-icing materials and antifreeze indoors



Control Inventory-Assign to one person the responsibility of checking in, dating, and labeling new materials. He or she should also organize and inspect existing stock. If it is practical for your shop, this "stockroom attendant" can also be responsible for ordering and issuing materials, especially those with a limited shelf life. Make certain that the oldest material is used first ("first- in, first-out" material use).

Control Access-If it is not practical to use your "stockroom attendant" to issue raw materials, limit access to employees who are trained in hazardous materials handling and who understand the importance of a "first-in, first-out" policy.

Control Storage-Inspect your storage area periodically for improper labels, leaky containers, dripped materials, and aged materials. If your shop is large (for example, six or more solvent sinks, andlor two or more hot tanks) and uses large amounts of raw material, you may choose to inspect the area as frequently as twice a month.

Control Spills-To reduce spills, use a gravity spigot to dis- pense bulk liquid materials. A pump (motorized or hand pump) is another dispensing method. At the very least, always use a spout and funnel when transferring liquids.

Control Design-If possible, arrange your raw materials storage area with access to the front and back of shelving so new materials can be placed behind older stock.

Exhibit 521, Inventory Control Measures

523 Printing Operations Wastes that contain hazardous compounds must be handled as hazardous waste; these include mercury compounds, as well as wastes containing more than 5 milligrams of silver per liter.

524 Laboratories and Training Facilities Laboratories and training facilities generate a variety of hazardous waste, usually in relatively small quantities. These wastes-which include paints, inks, thinners, solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, lead, and other chemicals-require special handling and disposal methods.

525 Preventative Maintenance 525.1 General At all postal facilities that generate hazardous waste from their operations, preventative maintenance must be conducted on an ongoing basis to minimize the risk of pollutant release from the site due to system failures. General preventative maintenance responsibilities include the following: a. Identifying equipment or areas of potential failures or spills. b. Periodic inspections and testing of the identified equipment and

~

areas of concern.



I c. Regularly scheduled maintenance and repair of equipment. d. Ensuring that all mechanical components are operated in accor-

dance with manufacturers’ recommendations. e. Documenting preventative maintenance activities.

525.2 Specific Activities Specific areas to be addressed by preventative maintenance personnel must include but not he limited to the following: a. Periodic cleaning of all floor drains, sumps, and oil/water sepa-

rators leading to the stormwater drains or sanitary sewers. b. Scheduled maintenance and cleaning of surface impoundments

and stormwater treatment systems. c. Scheduled maintenance inspections of spill response equip-

ment, fire protection systems, and tank leak detection systems. d. Scheduled inspection of underground storage tank systems,

such as cathodic protection, interstitial monitoring, and spill and overfill systems.

526 Handling Unknown Substances The following procedures should be used when a material of unknown origin is discovered on a postal site: a. Assume the material is hazardous until it can be determined

otherwise. Use extreme caution. b. Try to identify the materials involved. Look for any labels

identifying the contents of the container. The contents may be identified by name or by a “Listed Waste” number.

c. If the materials have been determined to he hazardous and they can be safely handled, treat them as hazardous waste that has been generated at the site and package, label, and transport as instructed in other sections of this handbook.

d. If the materials have been determined to be hazardous and cannot be safely handled, treat them as an uncontrolled release and follow the emergency response procedures as outlined in chapter 6.

e. If the materials cannot be identified, treat as a hazardous waste and follow the instructions for an Uncontrolled Release of a Hazardous Material.

f. If the materials are determined not to be hazardous, treat them as you would any nonhazardous waste (that is, recycle old tires, dispose of solid waste, and so forth).

g. If you have any questions about the material, contact the division environmental coordinator and safety coordinator for further instructions.

530 Storage 531 General, All postal facilities that generate hazardous waste must follow special rules for hazardous waste storage areas. Generators must

532 Storage Area Requirements All postal hazardous waste storage areas must be secure against unauthorized entry; clearly posted with a sign reading “Hazardous Waste” in capital letters at least one-inch high; and clearly marked by a fence, a visible line, or other visible barrier, and be separate from any points of generation. Outdoor storage areas must have secondary containment. This secondary containment may consist of a berm or a dike with an impervious surface (that is, plastic liner), but must be large enough to hold 10 percent of the total volume of all containers, or 110 percent of the volume of the largest container, whichever is larger. All spillage must be properly removed. Aboveground tanks and containers must be on a surface that does not show any cracks or gaps and is impervious to the hazardous waste being stored. Postal managers must ensure that storage areas are inspected at least once a week; a checklist for this purpose is in Exhibit 532. These areas must be kept neat and orderly with adequate aisle space for access. Any spillage that may occur must be promptly removed, in accordance with postal, federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations.

For an example of a container label, see Exhibit 533. Labels can be obtained from state environmental agencies or ordered from private supply houses. Make sure that the hazardous waste is not stored in a container that will be corroded, ruptured, or damaged in any way by that waste. Make sure that containers are closed tightly except when being filled or emptied.

540 Shipment 541 General Postal managers must ensure that off-site shipments of hazardous waste are labeled, marked, and placarded according to the U S . Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements. This includes a US. DOT waste description, shipping name, hazard class, and identification number. When shipping hazardous waste to a hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility, the manager must use a certified or licensed waste hauler and must use a manifest (see Exhibit 330 in Chapter 3). Care must be taken in selecting a waste hauler (as well as a treatment, storage, or disposal facility) because the Postal Service remains responsible for the proper management of waste even after it leaves Postal Service property. Postal managers should contact the EPA regional office or state agency (listed in Appendix F) to verify that all hazardous waste haulers and treatment, storage, or disposal facilities have legitimate EPA ID numbers.

550 Disposal 551 General No postal manager or employee may dispose of hazardous waste on postal property. Ensure that hazardous wastes are delivered to an off-site facility that is authorized by EPA or the state in which the receiving facility is located. Managers should use the form in


551 Hazardous Waste Manaaement Guide

Exhibit 551 at the end of this chapter to list approved recycling vendors, haulers, and landfills in their vicinity. Moreover, managers must be aware that certain wastes generated by postal facilities often have specific disposal procedures that must be followed. Care should be taken that these instructions are applied only to the wastes that they are intended for.

552 Specific Disposal Procedures

552.1 Waste Oil Waste oil should be collected in a DOT-approved 55-gallon drum or underground tank. Arrangements for removal and recycling should be made as soon as a drum has been filled. No more than three (3) 55-gallon drums (165 gallons total) of waste oil can be accumulated on any conditionally exempt generator site at one time or thirty (30) 55-gallon drums (1,500 gallons total) at any small quantity generator. Waste oil should he recycled or removed by an approved vendor. Used oil and fuel filters should be drained and preferably crushed, shredded, or dried out as much as possible and recycled. If disposed of without draining and recycling, the filters must be treated as hazardous waste. If the state considers waste oil to be a hazardous waste, the recordkeeping requirements pertaining to a hazardous waste must be fulfilled.

552.2 Waste Paints Paint should be ordered only as needed. Any paint that is usable hut not needed should be returned to the supply center where obtained. Paint should not be allowed to accumulate. Paint that is no longer usable (for example, paint that has been frozen) should be transported to the Division’s contracted hazardous waste disposal facility using the transportation procedures outlined in Sec- tion 540 of this handbook.

552.3 Used Batteries Used batteries should he recycled. Approved vendors should be contacted before they are needed to find out what condition the batteries must be in to recycle them. Cracked or leaking batteries are hazardous waste and must be handled as such when returned to the VMFs.

552.4 Used Tires Used tires are not a hazardous waste. They should be recycled by a local vendor. The vendors should he contacted before they are needed.

552.5 Solvents and Degreasers Many of the solvents used in postal facilities must he managed as hazardous waste. Where solvents must be used, there are three viable options for managing them. First, use environmentally safe, nonhazardous solvents. Second, contract with a licensed hazardous waste management firm for recycling or treatment of spent solvents. Third, utilize a reclaiming still (distillation unit) to recover the solvents. Spent solvent wastes must be kept segregated from other waste streams. Solvents must never be mixed with waste oil. Sludges or still bottoms generated from the distillation process must be properly disposed of at a hazardous waste facility permitted by the state or by EPA.


553 -- Hazardous Waste Management Guide

I 552.6 Printing Wastes Printing shops should never pour any types of fountain solutions into sewers as wastewater. Naphtha, trichloromethane, methylene chloride, and specially formulated washers should be treated as hazardous materials. Check with state of local authorities to determine whether solvent-laden rags can be laundered or should be sent to a hazardous waste disposal facility. Some inks may contain flammable and toxic solvents or toxic heavy metals. If hazardous, the waste inks must be handled as hazardous waste, with incineration being an acceptable disposal option.

552.7 Laboratory Wastes At laboratories, disposal of hazardous waste in lab packs is the most common disposal practice. Managers must ensure that containers of waste are segregated by compatibility of contents and are then packaged in the lab pack drums with absorbent cushioning sufficient to protect against breakage and to absorb liquids. This procedure is required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for lab packs and must be followed by the Postal Service. Depend- ing on the status of the facility and state requirements, the drums may then be shipped to a Class 1 landfill for disposal or to an incineration or recycling facility. Each facility must be certified for disposal of hazardous chemicals. Recycling and incineration have the least liability and potential for impact on the environment and the Postal Service.

552.8 Asbestos Identification of asbestos is a responsibility of the regional Facili- ties Service Center asbestos coordinator. Postal Service personnel should never remove asbestos; only trained personnel should handle asbestos. Asbestos should he sent only to approved asbestos landfills. These landfills should be located and contracted prior to discovering or transporting asbestos. For specific details on handling asbestos, consult your divisional asbestos coordinator or regional office.

553 Standards Applicable to Owners and Operators of Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities

Postal managers may use the services of a hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility only if that facility meets Postal Service performance requirements for such facilities. Postal Ser- vice standards include, at a minimum, the following requirements: a. Maintaining records for hazardous wastes that are treated, stored,

or disposed of (as the case may be) and the manner in which such wastes were treated, stored, or disposed.

b. Satisfactory reporting, monitoring, inspection, and compliance with the manifest system.

c. Operating methods, techniques, and practices approved to be satisfactory in location, design, and construction of the facility.

d. Contingency plans for effective actions to minimize unantici- pated damage from the treatment, storage, or disposal of any hazardous waste.


553 Hazardous Waste Management Guide .-

e. Such additional qualifications as to ownership, continuity of operation, training of personnel, and financial responsibility as may be necessary or desirable.

f Compliance with the requirements respecting permits for treatment, storage, or disposal.

554 Permits for Treatment, Storage, or Disposal of Hazardous Waste

Postal managers and division environmental coordinators must familiarize themselves with regulations requiring each person owning or operating a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste to have a permit. Postal managers should be aware that provisions exist to modify permit conditions and that, although applications to modify permits exist, wastes must not be transported to that facility until final permit approval to that facility is granted. Postal managers must also monitor waste disposal facilities to ensure that the facility is complying with conditions of the permit and that the permit has not been revoked for non- compliance. In some cases, an applicant can make satisfactory application for a permit and will be treated as having been issued the permit until such time as a final disposition of the application is determined. Disposal of hazardous waste without a permit is pro- hibited. Applicants for permits are required to furnish the following information: a. Estimates of composition, quantities, and concentrations of

hazardous waste or combinations of any hazardous waste and any other solid waste proposed to be disposed of, treated, transported, or stored and the time, frequency, or rate at which the waste is proposed to be disposed of, treated, transported, or stored.

b. The site at which the hazardous waste will be disposed of, treated, transported to, or stored.

Hazardous Waste Manaaement Guide 630

610 Introduction All postal facilities and equipment must be maintained and operated to minimize unplanned releases of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could threaten human health or the environment. Prevention of hazardous waste accidents through proper handling, storage, transportation, and disposal is essential. Prevention can save lives, jobs, resources, property, and liability costs. At the same time, every postal facility must be prepared to respond to emergencies involving hazardous waste. This chapter provides managers with guidance on required contingency plans, emergency equipment, personnel training, and various emergency response measures. The focus of postal emergency response planning and procedures is prompt notification of appropriate authorities and the summoning of expert help. Properly trained postal employees may clean up small, incidental spills of hazardous waste, hut postal personnel should not attempt to clean up larger releases.

620 Contingency Plans Unless the facility is classified as conditionally exempt, the postal manager at every facility that generates hazardous waste must ensure that the facility has a written contingency plan for responding to emergencies. Contractors or consultants on construction sites are required to have a contingency plan for hazardous waste management. The plan must be designed to minimize hazards to human health and the environment from fires, explosions, and any unplanned releases-be they sudden or gradual-of hazardous waste to air, land, or surface water. The divisional safety manager must review and approve the contingency plan annually. The plan must he immediately amended whenever it proves deficient, the facility design changes, the list of emergency coordinators changes, or the facility’s emergency equipment changes. A copy of the plan and all revisions must be maintained at the facility. In addition, copies must be submitted to all local police and fire departments; hospitals: state and local emergency response teams that might be called on to provide emergency services: the Postal Service regional and division environmental coordinators: and the divisional safety manager. Exhibit 620 lists the type of information that must be included in the plan.

630 Required Equipment Division environmental coordinators must coordinate with the manager of safety and health to ensure that facilities are equipped with all necessary emergency equipment. All personnel involved in hazardous waste operations must have immediate access to an intemal alarm or emergency communication device, either directly or through visual or voice contact with another employee. All required communications or alarm systems, fire-protection equip-

650 Other Measures 651 General Postal management must ensure that various other measures are taken so that the facility is prepared to deal with hazardous waste emergencies.

652 Required Aisle Space Aisle space is required for unobstructed movement of personnel, fire-protection equipment, and decontamination equipment to any facility operation area in an emergency.

653 Arrangements with Local Authorities The Postal Service manager and lessor (if applicable) must make arrangements, as appropriate, for the type of waste handled at the facility and the potential needs of the following organizations: police, fire departments, emergency response teams, local offices of emergency planning, state emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, equipment suppliers, and local hospitals.

654 Hazardous Waste Coordinator Every facility that generates hazardous waste must have at least one management employee designated to be the hazardous waste coordinator. This coordinator must be on hand or on call at all times in case of an emergency and must be responsible for coordi- nating emergency response measures in the event of a hazardous waste incident.

655 Posted Information Management must post the following information next to the telephone: a. Name and telephone number of the facility's emergency coordi-

nator. b. Name and telephone number of the facility's hazardous waste

660 Response Procedures Management must ensure appropriate responses to emergencies: a. Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency, the coor-

dinator shall immediately activate alarms to notify all facility personnel and notify appropriate state or local agencies with response roles if their help is needed.

b. In the event of a fire, call the fire department or attempt to extinguish the fire using the fire extinguisher.



c . Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion, the coordinator must, if possible, immediately identify the released material and assess possible hazards to human health and the environment from the release. If necessary, the coordinator must assist in evacuation of work areas.

d. In the event of a spill, treat spilled hazardous waste, cleanup residues, and containers as hazardous waste. Contain the flow of hazardous waste to the extent practical as soon as possible. Postal managers are responsible for taking corrective action to clean up the hazardous waste, any contaminated materials, or soil. However, postal personnel themselves should clean up only small, incidental spills-such as a minor splash from tank filling or a small puddle near a 55 gallon drum. Without exception, management (or a designee) must summon appropriate authorities and experts to clean up large releases.

e. In catastrophic situations, the coordinator must notify the State Office of Emergency Services and take necessary measures to abate, prevent, and clean up released materials before operations resume.

f. In the event of a fire, explosion, or other release that could threaten human health outside the facility or when postal management has knowledge that a spill has reached surface waters, immediately notify the appropriate state environmental agency hazardous spills program and the National Response Center (1-800-424-8802). The report must include the following: (1) The postal facility manager’s name, facility address, and

(2 ) Date, time, and type of accident (such as spill or fire). (3) Quantity and type of spill involved in the incident. (4) Extent of injuries, if any. (5) Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered materials,

670 Remedial Response As soon as possible after the incident, the postal manager must submit a written report on the incident to the division environmental coordinator, Field Division General Manager, and regional environmental coordinator. The report must describe the cause of, nature of, and extent of contamination resulting from the incident, and it must detail the activities that must be undertaken to remedy the situation. The investigative study and remedial response must be conducted by the division environmental coordinator and coor- dinated with all appropriate federal, state, and local officials. Regional environmental coordinators must be kept informed about the progress of each phase of the remedial response process. Final clearance of all reports and assessments and certification of site cleanliness must be obtained in writing and kept on file at the site, by the division environmental coordinator, and at the regional headquarters. As shown in Exhibit 670, remedial activities may include: u. Preliminary Assessment A review of existing information and

Examples of remedial action are confinement, perimeter protection, trenches, clay cover, and neutralization.

g . Removal. The clean-up or removal of hazardous substances from the environment. Such actions may be taken, as necessary, in the event of a release or the threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment, including such actions as may be necessary to monitor, assess, and evaluate the release or threat of release of hazardous substances; the disposal of removed material: or the taking of such other actions as may be necessary to prevent, minimize, or mitigate damage to the public health or welfare or to the environment.

h. Monitoring. Ongoing monitoring, if required, to determine if the remedial response activities have resulted in the intended improvements.

680 Hazardous Waste Docket When a manifest is generated or when a catastrophic release occurs on a postal site and requires clean-up, regional EPA offices receive copies of the manifest and follow up by listing the postal facility on the EPA Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket. Remedial investigation, site assessment, and other corrective actions must occur within eighteen months for the facility to be removed from the docket. If the necessary assessment and corrective actions are not completed in eighteen months, the facility may be listed on the National Priorities List and become subject to the . .~ ~

Superfund Act. It is important that appropriate postal managers take immediate action to avoid facilities being listed on the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket and the National Priorities List. For further information, contact the regional Facili- ties Service Center and the regional environmental coordinator.

Appendix R us Waste Characteristics

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified four characteristics that cause a waste to be regulated as a hazardous waste: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity. For each characteristic, EPA has developed approved methods for determining whether a waste is hazardous. A brief description of each characteristic and applicable tests follows. The definitions of these characteristics are specified in 40 CFR 261, Subpart C.

Ignitability A waste exhibits the characteristic of ignitability if a repre- sentative sample of the waste is easily combustible or flammable. Examples of these ignitable wastes include paint wastes, certain degreasers, and solvents. The specific characteristics of an ignitable waste include the following properties: 1. A liquid that has a flash point of less than 140 degrees

Fahrenheit, as determined by a specific test method. This does not include aqueous solutions containing less than 24 percent alcohol by volume.

2. It is not a liquid but is capable of causing fire through friction, absorption of moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes under standard temperature and pressure conditions.

3. It is an ignitable compressed gas. 4. It is an oxidizer. A waste exhibiting any of these characteristics of ignitability is identified for regulatory purposes with an EPA hazardous waste number of D001.

Corrosivity A waste exhibiting the characteristic of corrosivity will dissolve metal or bum the skin. Examples of corrosive wastes include waste rust removers, waste acids and alkaline solutions, and waste battery acids. The specific characteristics of a corrosive waste include the following: 1. An aqueous waste with a pH of less than or equal to 2.0 or

greater than or equal to 12.5, as determined by an EPA- approved method.

2. A liquid that corrodes steel at a rate greater than 6.35 millimeters (0.25 inches) per year at a temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit, as determined by specific test methods.

A waste exhibiting any of these characteristics of corrosivity is identified for regulatory purposes with an EPA hazardous waste number of D002.

Reactivity A waste exhibiting the characteristic of reactivity is one that is unstable or undergoes rapid or violent chemical reactions with water or other material. Examples of reactive wastes include cyanide plating wastes, waste bleaches, and other waste oxidizers. The specific characteristics of a reactive waste include the following: 1. It is normally unstable and readily undergoes violent

changes without detonating. 2. It reacts violently with water. 3. It forms a potentially explosive mixture with water. 4. It generates toxic gases, vapors, or fumes when mixed

with water. 5. It is a cyanide- or sulfide-bearing waste that can generate

toxic gases, vapors, or fumes when exposed to pH conditions between 2.0 and 12.5.

6. It is capable of detonation or a explosive reaction under standard temperature and pressure conditions or if subjected to a strong initiating source or if heated.

A waste exhibiting any of these reactive characteristics is identified for regulatory purposes with an EPA hazardous waste number of D003.

A New Test for Toxicity One property that determines whether a waste is hazardous is its toxicity. Toxic waste is harmful or fatal when it is swallowed or when it comes into contact with the skin. When toxic waste is disposed of on land, contaminated liquid might drain (leach) from the waste and pollute the groundwater.

In March 1990, EPA issued a new “Toxicity Characteristic” rule, which changes the test for toxicity. The new test is called the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). The TCLP is used to test for 25 organic chemicals (see list below) in addition to the metals and pesticides that had been tested for in the extraction procedure (EP) leach test. Small businesses were required to comply with the Toxicity Char- acteristic rule beginning March 29, 1991.

The changes in the regulation mean that many wastes that previously were not covered will now be subject to federal hazardous waste regulations. Generally, if an operation uses a product that contains one of the chemicals below, that operation’s waste might be hazardous. The constituents listed in Exhibit B.l are now regulated under the Toxicity Charac- teristic rule:
