Section Number: 2-1 <br />Issue Date: 05/06/2010 <br />Revision Date: <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />2-1 WASTE DISPOSAL <br />Overview <br />• The following section provides guidelines for management, storage, identification, permitting and <br />disposal of waste. Attachment A provides specific guidelines based on type of waste. <br />Three Key Issues: <br />• A waste is any product, solid or liquid, that is a residual from a process or can no longer be <br />used for its intended purpose. All waste must be managed on-site in approved, leak proof, <br />and covered containers. <br />• All waste must be characterized. Shaker screen waste, pit sludge, and wastewater <br />treatment sludge must be analyzed every two years for Toxic Characteristic Leachate <br />Procedure (TCLP), and records maintained. <br />A waste is hazardous if it fails the TCLP test or it contains a listed hazardous material. <br />Hazardous waste requires special storage, handling, disposal, and recordkeeping. <br />Waste Management & Storage <br />• All waste must be managed on-site in approved containers. Containers must be covered and not <br />leak. <br />• All waste must be characterized. Shaker screen waste, pit sludge, and wastewater treatment sludge <br />must be analyzed every two years for Toxic Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP). Maintain the <br />most recent copy of the laboratory analysis for each waste stream. <br />• Hazardous wastes must be labeled. Federal regulations limits the storage time for any hazardous <br />waste to 90 days. <br />Waste Identification <br />• A waste is any product, solid or liquid, that can no longer be used for its intended purpose or is a <br />residual from a process. <br />A waste is hazardous if it contains a listed hazardous material or if it fails the TCLP test. <br />• Contact the analytical laboratory to determine the sampling procedures and quantities they need to <br />properly analyze the waste. Some laboratories will collect the sample as part of their services. <br />
