Waste Acceptance Guidelines — August 2020 <br />Hazardous Waste Characteristics <br />The characteristics of reactivity, corrosivity, ignitability, and aquatic toxicity are unlikely in petroleum <br />contaminated soils below certain TPH levels. In certain instances, additional testing may be required. <br />Ignitability: Flash point greater than 140° F (60° C) or capable under standard temperature and pressure of <br />causing fire through friction, absorption of moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes and, <br />when ignited, burn so vigorously and persistently that it creates a hazard. <br />Corrosivity: When mixed with an equivalent weight of water produces a solution having a pH ._ 2.0 or? 12.5 <br />Reactivity: Reacts violently with water. <br />Toxicity: The waste has an Acute Oral LD50 <2,500 mg/kg <br />The waste has an Acute Dermal LD50 <4,300 mg/kg <br />The waste has an Acute Inhalation LC50 < 10,000 ppm <br />The waste has an Acute Aquatic 96 hour LC50 <500 mg/L <br />Asbestos: The waste contains greater than 1.0 percent friable asbestos. <br />Moisture: Wastes with moisture content greater than 50 percent will require a Paint Filter Liquids Test to <br />determine the presence of free liquids. If the waste tests positive for free liquids, the waste must <br />undergo solidification prior to disposal. Call landfill to schedule solidification prior to transport. <br />Carcinogens: Toxic because it contains one or more carcinogenic substances. CCR 66261.24(a)(7) defines a <br />waste as being toxic if it contains any of the specified carcinogens at a concentration of greater <br />than or equal to 0.001 percent by weight (10 ppmw). <br />Used Oil: Used oil and materials that contain or are contaminated with used oil are regulated as hazardous <br />wastes even if they do not exhibit any of the characteristics of hazardous waste. <br />Sampling Frequency <br />Representative samples are required for all incoming special waste streams. In general, a four point <br />composite sample (four individual grab samples composited at the laboratory into one equally represented <br />sample) is required to satisfy the requirements for a "representative" sample. <br />CONTAMINANTS Volume Frequency <br />CAM-17 Metals (EPA 6010) 1-1000 cubic yards I (ONE) 4-Point Composite Sample <br />TPH (EPA 8015M / 8021B) <br />VOCs (EPA 8260) <br />SVOCs (EPA 8270) 1,000+ cubic yards I (ONE) 4-Point Composite Sample plus one <br />PCB's (8080) sample for each additional 1,000 cubic yards. <br />Pesticides (8080) <br />Herbicides (8150)
