Section 250-RICR-140-05-6.4 - Details of Waste Analysis Plan (Per Section 6.1(F)(2)(a) of this Part)A. The waste analysis plan must specify exactly what kind of materials the facility proposes to accept for processing. The soil shall be contaminated with only virgin petroleum products and associated spill clean-up debris. Language like "such as" or "etc" used in describing the incoming waste streams is unacceptable. In addition to the types of accepted material, numerical limits must be proposed for all significant contaminated soil parameters including, at a minimum, flashpoint, total petroleum hydrocarbons (per any equipment processing limitations), non-halogenated volatile organic compounds, halogenated volatile organic compounds, EP toxic metals (arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and silver), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), cyanide, and Ph. The acceptable physical state of the contaminated soil must also be specified. The waste analysis section of the operating plan must also provide a comprehensive waste verification procedure. This refers to efforts by the waste processing facility personnel to ensure that the soil received is contaminated by only virgin petroleum products and associated spill clean-up debris and that the possibility of accepting hazardous waste is minimized. Verification also allows the processor to assess if the processing equipment employed for soil clean-up will be adequate to handle the waste, given the levels of contaminant and any required limits of contamination in the cleaned product. Steps in the verification procedure include at least: 1. Pre-screening of the waste through initial discussion between generator and waste processor.2. On-site visit by waste processor personnel to inspect the waste pile.3. Field sampling and subsequent lab testing (see §§ 6.2(A), 6.2(B), 6.5, and 6.6 of this Part for further details).4. Documentation information supplied by the generator in the contaminated materials profile sheet and reviewed and accepted by the processor.5. Fingerprinting (inspection, sampling, and testing) of incoming waste, as it arrives at the processing facility (see §§ 6.2(C), 6.2(D), 6.7, and 6.8 of this Part for further details).6. Other administrative forms, to be completed by the generator, transporter, and processor, to minimize the potential of accepting any waste other than that which was originally tested.B. Other key elements of the waste analysis plan shall include sampling techniques and protocol, identification of sampling personnel, identification of laboratories that perform sample analyses, and the quality assurance/quality control measures to ensure data integrity.250 R.I.
