Tank Defined
  • UFC 9.122 Tank is a vessel containing gt 60 gals.
  • 40 CFR 260.10 Tank means a stationary device,
    designed to contain an accumulation of hazardous
    waste which is constructed primarily of
    non-earthen materials which provide structural
    support.
  • 22 CCR 66260.10 "Tank" means a stationary
    device, designed to contain an accumulation of
    hazardous waste which is constructed primarily of
    non-earthen materials which provide structural
    support.

4
Tank System
  • 40 CFR 260.10 Tank system means a hazardous
    waste storage or treatment tank and its
    associated ancillary equipment and containment
    system.
  • 22 CCR 66260.10 "Tank system" means a hazardous
    waste transfer, storage or treatment tank and its
    associated ancillary equipment and containment
    system.

5
Container
  • 40 CFR 260.10 Container means any portable
    device in which a material is stored,
    transported, treated, disposed of, or otherwise
    handled.
  • 22 CCR 66260.10 "Container" means any device
    that is open or closed, and portable in which a
    material can be stored, handled, treated,
    transported, recycled or disposed of.

Ancillary Equipment
  • 40 CFR 260.10 reads just like 66260.10.
  • 22 CCR 66260.10 "Ancillary equipment" means any
    device including, but not limited to, such
    devices as piping, fittings, flanges, valves and
    pumps, that is used to distribute, meter or
    control the flow of hazardous waste from its
    point of generation to a storage or treatment
    tank(s), between hazardous waste storage and
    treatment tanks to a point of disposal onsite, or
    to a point of shipment for disposal offsite.

At what point do the hazardous waste Tank
Standards Apply?
  • The first tank is a process tank. Materials go
    in, non-hazardous waste flows out.
  • The settling Tank is a new point of generation.
    Non-hazardous waste flows in, a hazardous waste
    flows out.
  • Does 66261.4(c) Exclusion apply? the
    manufacturing tank unit situation.

20
22 CCR 66261.4(c)
  • A hazardous waste which is generated in a product
    or raw material storage tank, a product or raw
    material transport vehicle or vessel, a product
    or raw material pipe line, or in a manufacturing
    process unit or an associated non-waste-treatment-
    manufacturing unit, is not subject to regulation
    under this division until it exits the unit in
    which it was generated, unless the unit is a
    surface impoundment, or unless the hazardous
    waste remains in the unit for more than 90 days
    after the unit ceases to be operated for
    manufacturing, or for storage or transportation
    of product or raw materials. This apples to the
    hazardous waste generated in these tanks, not the
    tanks themselves. The tank is subject to Chapter
    32, Title 22 (closure) if the unwanted tank
    exhibits a characteristic of a hazardous waste.

21
Answer by the CUPA 2005 DTSC QA Panel
  • A process tank sends non-hazardous waste into a
    settling tank in which liquid and solid fractions
    separate by gravity. The solids are hazardous and
    are pumped to a heated drying tank for additional
    water removal. The water fraction flows from the
    settling tank directly to the sewer. Which
    tanks/pipes in this system would require a tank
    assessment? The piping and pumps that feed the
    settled solids to the heated drying tank, and the
    heated drying tank itself would be a tank system
    and would be subject to tank assessments as
    provided in CCR, title 22, section 66265.193. The
    settling tank would not be subject to the tank
    assessment because the waste as it originally
    entered the tank was not hazardous, even though a
    hazardous waste is generated in the tank through
    settling.

22
Answer by the CUPA 2005 DTSC QA Panel
  • a. What if (instead of a process tank) this
    system processes a hazardous waste upstream of
    the settling tank, and the waste entering the
    settling tank is non hazardous?
  • No change in above answer. Even thought the
    settling tank is at the back end of a treatment
    system or unit, the definition of unit clear
    says that it is combination of tanks or tank
    systemslocated together that are used in
    sequence to treat or accumulate one or more
    compatible HAZARDOUS wastestreams. Once the
    wastestream was rendered non-hazardous by the
    upstream treatment system, the settling tank is
    no longer part of the unit.

23
Materials Tank that is also used for Waste?
  • A related question concerns the applicability of
    the hazardous waste tank system standards to
    process transfer equipment normally used for
    production purposes, but also used to transfer
    hazardous waste residue to either a NPDES
    wastewater treatment system or an onsite RCRA
    treatment/storage facility. Assuming it is
    removed within 90 days after production or
    product storage is stopped, the hazardous waste
    generated within product/raw material process
    tanks does not become subject to the hazardous
    waste tank system standards until it exits the
    unit in which it was generated. (FAXBACK 13790)

24
Materials Tank that is also used for Waste Answer
  • The tank system standards apply to ancillary
    equipment used to handle the hazardous waste
    during transfer from its point of origin to a
    hazardous waste storage/treatment tank. We
    consider the point of exit from the process tank
    to be the introductory point for the hazardous
    waste into a hazardous waste tank system.
    Therefore, any process transfer equipment, even
    if normally used for production purposes, that is
    also used to transfer hazardous waste residue
    during equipment washout/cleanout procedures to a
    hazardous waste storage/treatment tank, would be
    considered part of a hazardous waste tank system
    and thus subject to the standards for such.

What if D was a 55 gallon drum that was removed
when full?
26
Point of Generation Start of ancillary equipment
  • If A is a waste listed for toxicity, then D is a
    hazardous waste under the mixture rule. D is a
    tank, so
  • The point of generation is normally the exit
    point (pipe) from a process tank. This pipe will
    be the introductory point for hazardous waste
    into a hazardous waste tank system, therefore it
    is ancillary equipment. (FAXBACK 13790)

27
Answer by CUPA 2005 DTSC QA Panel
  • Three material storage tanks (A,B, and C) are
    piped together into a fourth tank (D). When
    materials in tanks A, B, and C are no longer
    usable, they are released to tank D. The
    materials in tanks A and B are characteristic
    hazardous wastes. The material in tank C is
    non-hazardous. The resultant commingled waste
    stream found in tank D is non-hazardous.
  • a. What parts of this system would require a tank
    assessment? All of the piping leading from tanks
    A, B, and C to tank D, and tank D itself would be
    considered a tank system.

28
Answer by CUPA 2005 DTSC QA Panel
  • b. Does it matter is one of the wastes (say in
    tank A) is a listed waste instead of a
    characteristic waste?
  • Yes. The listing would carry through from tank A
    through all subsequent tanks and all wastes that
    the listed waste gets mixed with due to the
    mixture rule (T22, section 66261.3(a)(2)(E)). The
    exception to the mixture rule would be if the
    listed waste was listed only for ignitibility
    and/or reactivity and the resultant mixture does
    not exhibit a characteristic. Other specific
    mixture rule exclusions can be found in
    66261.3(a)(2)(F).

29
Is it a Hazardous Waste Tank System?
  • It is less clear if D is a container or is not a
    hazardous waste tank (such as, waste piped
    directly to the POTW system).
  • If hazardous waste is not accumulated, stored or
    treated in a tank then it is not a hazardous
    waste tank system. So tank standards dont
    apply.
  • The piping is a hazardous waste conveyance
    system, but
  • It has to be part of a hazardous waste tank
    system to be ancillary equipment to a hazardous
    waste tank.

Sumps
  • Temporary or Emergency Containment Sumps exempt
    subject to management procedures, i.e. clean
    dry except after emergency.
  • Secondary-containment Sumps must meet secondary
    containment standards
  • Primary-containment sumps regulated as tanks

34
Sumps 1
  • Sumps may present the same potential for leaks
    and releases as hazardous waste storage and
    treatment tanks and generally should be subject
    to the same standards as tanks. 51 FR 25441 of
    July 14, 1986.
  • Sumps for 90-day storage, Assuming the sumps are
    made of non-earthen material and have sufficient
    structural integrity, they would be regulated as
    tanks. (faxback 12442)

35
Sumps 2
  • Parking lot test (faxback 12104, 12224)
  • Surface Impoundment or a Tank?
  • If freestanding in a parking lot will the unit
    provide sufficient structural support to hold its
    contents?
  • Pass If it can, its a tank
  • Fail If it cant pass, then it is a surface
    impoundment. A surface impoundment requires RCRA
    storage permit.

Floor Drains Trenches
  • Building Floor Drains and Trenches used to
    transfer hazardous wastewater to an in-ground
    storage tank are ancillary equipment. (FAXBACK

  • 22 CCR 66265.193(f) Ancillary equipment shall be
    provided with full secondary containment...

  • Components inspected daily, e.g. above ground
    piping

39
Joes Plating Shop
Elevated grate Or catwalk
Is the sump in the floor a tank? Is the
concrete floor ancillary equipment?
40
Is it a hazardous waste tank?
  • Is the drag-out from a plating shop a hazardous
    waste?
  • Yes
  • Is the drag-out routinely generated?
  • Yes
  • Generally speaking, any tank system into which
    hazardous waste is routinely and systematically
    introduced, regardless of frequency or duration
    of storage, is not considered either a temporary
    tank or part of the secondary containment system
    and therefore must be provided with secondary
    containment (see 51 FR 25422 July 14,
    1986). Re OSWER Directive 9483.00-3

41
What if its a spill?
  • If cleanup activities do not begin promptly, the
    spill is considered a land disposal site subject
    to permitting requirements. Extended responses
    which are not judged to be immediate in nature
    may result in (1) A modification to the
    facilitys contingency plan (2) An enforcement
    action for an inadequate contingency plan or
    permit violations or (3) Enforcement action for
    illegal disposal. FAXBACK 12748

42
How about a spill into secondary containment?
  • Secondary containment for a hazardous waste tank
  • system, that meets tank standards? Then
  • 66265.196. Response to Leaks or Spills and
    Disposition of Leaking or Unfit-for-Use Tank
    Systems.
  • A tank system or secondary containment system
    from which there has been a leak or spill, or
    which is unfit for use, shall be removed from
    service immediately, and the owner or operator
    shall satisfy the following requirements

43
66265.196
  • (c) Removal of waste from tank system or
    secondary containment system.
  • (1) If the release was from the tank system,
    the owner or operator shall, within 24 hours
    after detection of the leak or, if the owner or
    operator demonstrates that that is not possible,
    at the earliest practicable time remove as much
    of the waste as is necessary to prevent further
    release of hazardous waste to the environment
    and to allow inspection and repair of the tank
    system to be performed.
  • (2) If the release was to a secondary
    containment system, all released materials shall
    be removed within 24 hours or in as timely a
    manner as is possible to prevent harm to human
    health and the environment.

State DTSC recent enforcement news
  • December 8, 2005 enforcement settlement
  • The California Department of Toxic Substances
    Control (DTSC) announced it has reached a
    200,000 settlement with Ultima Circuits, LLC for
    hazardous waste violations at its facility
    located at 4361 Pell Drive in Sacramento.
  • DTSCs Weblink to read full consent order..

  • cont..

50
Ultima Circuits recent enforcement case
  • The settlement stems from violations observed by
    DTSC inspectors on 1/7/04, 3/9/05. The
    violations were
  • Failing to provide secondary containment for
    eight hazardous waste treatment tanks
  • Discharging hazardous waste directly onto the
    floor of the facility, where waste then flowed
    into an UST that lacked secondary containment
  • Failing to prepare a written assessment,
    certified by an independent, registered
    professional engineer, for hazardous waste
    treatment tank systems, as well as the floor used
    as a hazardous waste collection tank.
  • Ultima Circuits has ceased using the facility
    floor as a hazardous waste tank.

51
Some exceptions to consider when dealing with
what is a hazardous waste and the wet floors
scenario
  • 66261.3 Definition of a Hazardous Waste
  • 66261.3(a)(2) (E) (F) lists a few mixtures of
    listed wastes and wastewater that are not
    hazardous wastes when discharged to a POTW or
    NPDES permitted waste water treatment facility.
  • What is really says is small amounts of listed
    waste that no longer exhibit a characteristic of
    a hazardous waste when combined with facility
    waste water

  • 4. P U listed chemical arising from "de
    minimis" losses from manufacturing operations in
    which these materials are used as raw materials
    or are produced in the manufacturing process.
  • "de minimis" losses include those from normal
    material handling operations (e.g., spills from
    the unloading or transfer of materials from bins
    or other containers, leaks from pipes, valves or
    other devices used to transfer materials) minor
    leaks of process equipment, storage tanks or
    containers leaks from well-maintained pump
    packings and seals sample purgings relief

    for toxicity (T) provided that the annualized
    flow of laboratory wastewater does not exceed 1
    of the total faculty wastewater or provided that

  • 6. K157 that dont exceed 5 ppm by weight, or
  • 7. K156 that dont exceed 5 ppm by weight

56
Answer by CUPA 2005 DTSC QA Panel
  • A grated trench carries only non-hazardous wastes
    (mainly oily residue in water and dirt) to a
    on-site waste water handling (treatment)
    facility. The sediment that accumulates in the
    trench may be non-RCRA (hazardous) due to metals.
    Would the trench be regulated as a tank under the
    hazardous waste tank regs?
  • The panel agreed that the trench is not a
    regulated tank system since the trench is not
    being used to convey a hazardous waste. The
    sludge that is incidentally accumulating in the
    trench does not become a hazardous waste until it
    is removed from the trench.

57
Answer by CUPA 2005 DTSC QA Panel
  • a. How does this thinking apply to wet floors
    located beneath plating areas?
  • The panel expressed that this thought process may
    be extended to wet floors in some instances. It
    was pointed out that many wet floors operate as
    secondary containment for the hazardous materials
    that are contained in the tanks above them, and
    that in those instances, the constant conveyance
    of liquids on wet floor may diminish the ability
    of the floor to operate as a containment
    structure. One panelist suggested that operators
    of businesses that have wet floors be left with a
    suggestion to hose-off or remove all
    contamination from the floor at least weekly, if
    for no other reason but to provide a clear way to
    inspect the floor to ensure that the containment
    structure has not been compromised.

    265.201, not Article 10.

71
Is it Clear now?
A new Study indicates that attempts to thoroughly
understand Title 22 CCR tank standards
contributes to the early onset of Alzheimers
disease.

Biotech Laboratory Waste System
  • This system transfers waste solvents from the
    laboratory areas to an exterior hazardous waste
    accumulation area. The solvents are corrosive
    and ignitable.
  • Question 1. Is it a hazardous waste tank
    system?
  • Yes. It is a hazardous waste tanks system. Those
    little sumps are stationary they are tanks.
  • At least thats what I think.

80
These double wall sumps routinely contain waste
  • Some piping is PVC. The solvents are up to 75
    methylene chloride.
  • Question 2. Does the system satisfy 22 CCR
    container and/or tank standards?
  • Is it compatible?

Biotech Laboratory Waste System
  • Question 2. Does the system satisfy 22 CCR
    container and/or tank standards?
  • No, Single wall pipe in wall cannot be visually
    monitored
  • PVC vent pipe not compatible with solvents.

  • Youre right! These standards were not covered
    its advanced training.

Oligator(TM) An Oligator is used to oil alligators
  • Oligator machine in the lab. There are 11 of
    these machines in the lab. The large tube going
    up the left side of the machine is a vent tube,
    from the machine itself. It does not vent any
    waste products or vapors. Narrow stainless steel
    pipe next to the vent tube is the waste pipe.
    Waste is pumped up this pipe to the larger
    stainless steel header.

86
Actually an Oligator makes oligonucleotides
short links of nucleic acids
  • The waste pipe feeding out of the back of the
    Oligator. Other pipes feed in raw materials.

87
Waste vent piping from Oligator(TM) room
  • Narrow stainless steel pipe feeds the waste to
    the header. Pipe enters the wall and passes into
    the H3-H7 rated (Building Fire Codes) waste
    room.

88
Waste piping from Oligator(TM) room
  • Hazardous waste tanks in the H3-H7 rated waste
    room. Each tank has a dual-level alarm sensor.
    The first level alarm pages environmental staff.
    The second level alarm goes off, the valve closes
    flow to the first tank and diverts it to the
    second tank. Once the first level alarm of the
    second tank goes off, a waste pick-up is
    scheduled.

Hazardous Waste Tank System?
  • The waste is piped into 275 gallon UN approved
    totes.
  • The waste is pumped out of the totes pictured and
    into similar totes for transportation from the
    generator's facility to a TSDF.
  • Is it a hazardous waste tank system?

91
Is it a Hazardous Waste Tank System?
  • Yes, it is a hazardous waste tanks system. The
    totes contain hazardous waste and they are
    stationary (hard plumbed).
  • The waste is pumped out and into identical totes
    that are hazardous waste containers.
