9 o <br />STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL" <br />-J <br />RESOLUTION NO. 87- 22 <br />POLICY ON THE DISPOSAL OF SHREDDER WASTE <br />1. Chemical analysis of wastes resulting from the shredding of automobile <br />bodies, household appliances, and sheet metal (hereinafter shredder <br />waste) by methods stipulated by the Department of Health Services <br />(hereinafter DHS) has resulted in the classification of shredder waste as <br />a hazardous waste and the determination that. if inappropriately handled, <br />it could catch fire and release toxic gases. <br />2. The California Legislature has declared that shredder waste shall not be <br />classified as hazardous for the purposes of disposal if the producer <br />demonstrates that the waste will not pose a threa: to human health or <br />water quality if disposed of in a qualified Class III waste management <br />unit, as specified in Section 2533 of Subchapter 15 of Chapter 3 of <br />Title 23 of the California Administrative Code (hereinafter <br />Subchapter 15). <br />3. DHS has granted shredder waste a variance for the purposes of disposal <br />from hazardous waste management requirements pursuant to Section 66310 of <br />Title 22 of the California Administrative Code. <br />4. Hazardous waste which has received a variance from DHS for the purposes <br />of d . isposal is classified as a designated waste pursuant to Section 2522 <br />of Subchapter 15. <br />5. In general, designated waste must be disposed of in a Class I or Class II <br />waste management unit. However, designated waste may be disposed of in a <br />Class III waste management unit provided that the discharger establishes <br />to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Quality Control Board <br />(hereinafter Regional Board) that the waste presents a lower risk of <br />degrading water quality than is indicated by its classification. <br />(Authority: Section 2520. Subchapter 15) <br />6. Analysis of shredder waste by the U. S. Environmental Frotection Agency's <br />extraction procedure for heavy metals does not normally result in its <br />classification as a hazardous waste. <br />7. The disposal of shredder waste in a manner such that it is not in contact <br />with putrescible waste or the leachate generated by putrescible waste <br />will. not result in the high mobilization of metals indicated by the tests <br />used to determine that shredder waste is hazardous; therefore. such <br />disposal may occur in accordance with Section 2520 of Subchapter 15. <br />,T: <br />7V <br />
