It should also be noted that,in addition to <br /> rtes are given the right to apply more stringent PCB these treatment standards,there are other waste <br /> ;ulations.

In California,however,liquid wastes with second question under the Frequently Asked Ques- <br /> PCB concentrations equal to or greater than S ppm tions section of this fact sheet. <br /> are classified as hazardous waste. <br /> Under U.S.EPA regulations,drained PCB-con- <br /> taminated transformer carcasses are allowed to be ` <br /> disposed in municipal landfills. California has <br /> classified drained waste transformer carcasses as <br /> hazardous waste if the oil that was drained from the <br /> carcass had transformer oil with PCB concentra- <br /> tions equal to or greater than S ppm. <br /> p <br /> There is no exemption under California DTSC <br /> regulations due to FCB quantity or size of the <br /> waste material that contains PCBs. Items such <br /> as fluorescent light ballasts with PCB capacitors <br /> are covered under California DTSC regulations, <br /> whereas.Federal regulations would exempt them �.- <br /> under the TSCA small capacitor definition. <br /> California,along with the other States,does not <br /> have the authority to regulate use of PCBs. There- _ <br /> fore, there are no DTSC regulations that would <br /> require removal of an item that contained PCBs <br /> such as a transformer or fluorescent light ballast. <br /> Generators,however,would still have to comply <br /> with appropriate Federal removal requirements,if <br /> applicable. DTSC hazardous waste regulations <br /> apply only when and if material which contains <br /> PCBs becomes a waste. <br /> x <br /> 2 <br />
