Section R315-265-13 - General Facility Standards - General Waste Analysis(a)(1) Before an owner or operator treats, stores, or disposes of any hazardous wastes, or nonhazardous wastes if applicable under Subsection R315-265-113(d), he shall obtain a detailed chemical and physical analysis of a representative sample of the wastes. At a minimum, the analysis shall contain all the information which must be known to treat, store, or dispose of the waste in accordance with Rule R315-265 and Rule R315-268.(2) The analysis may include data developed under Rule R315-261, and existing published or documented data on the hazardous waste or on waste generated from similar processes. Comment: For example, the facility's records of analyses performed on the waste before the effective date of these regulations, or studies conducted on hazardous waste generated from processes similar to that which generated the waste to be managed at the facility, may be included in the data base required to comply with Subsection R315-265-13(a)(1). The owner or operator of an off-site facility may arrange for the generator of the hazardous waste to supply part of the information required by Subsection R315-265-13(a)(1), except as otherwise specified in Subsections R315-268-7(b) and (c). If the generator does not supply the information, and the owner or operator chooses to accept a hazardous waste, the owner or operator is responsible for obtaining the information required to comply with Section R315-265-13.
(3) The analysis shall be repeated as necessary to ensure that it is accurate and up to date. At a minimum, the analysis shall be repeated: (i) When the owner or operator is notified, or has reason to believe, that the process or operation generating the hazardous wastes or non-hazardous wastes, if applicable, under Subsection R315-265-113(d) has changed; and(ii) For off-site facilities, when the results of the inspection required in Subsection R315-265-13(a)(4) indicate that the hazardous waste received at the facility does not match the waste designated on the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.(4) The owner or operator of an off-site facility shall inspect and, if necessary, analyze each hazardous waste movement received at the facility to determine whether it matches the identity of the waste specified on the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.(b) The owner or operator shall develop and follow a written waste analysis plan which describes the procedures which he will carry out to comply with Subsection R315-265-13(a). He shall keep this plan at the facility. At a minimum, the plan shall specify: (1) The parameters for which each hazardous waste, or non-hazardous waste if applicable under Subsection R315-265-113(d), will be analyzed and the rationale for the selection of these parameters, i.e., how analysis for these parameters will provide sufficient information on the waste's properties to comply with Subsection R315-265-13(a);(2) The test methods which will be used to test for these parameters;(3) The sampling method which will be used to obtain a representative sample of the waste to be analyzed. A representative sample may be obtained using either: (i) One of the sampling methods described in Section R315-261-1090; or(ii) An equivalent sampling method. Comment: See Subsection R315-260-20(c) for related discussion.
(4) The frequency with which the initial analysis of the waste will be reviewed or repeated to ensure that the analysis is accurate and up to date;(5) For off-site facilities, the waste analyses that hazardous waste generators have agreed to supply; and(6) Where applicable, the methods that will be used to meet the additional waste analysis requirements for specific waste management methods as specified in Sections R315-265-200, R315-265-225, and R315-265-252, and 40 CFR 265.273, 265.314, 265.341, 265.375, 265.402, 265.1034(d), 265.1063(d), 265.1084, which are adopted and incorporated by reference and Section R315-268-7.(7) For surface impoundments exempted from land disposal restrictions under Subsection R315-268-4(a), the procedures and schedule for:(i) The sampling of impoundment contents;(ii) The analysis of test data; and,(iii) The annual removal of residues which are not delisted under Section R315-260-22 or which exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste and either: (A) Do not meet applicable treatment standards of Sections R315-268-40 through R315-268-49; or(B) Where no treatment standards have been established;(I) Such residues are prohibited from land disposal under Section R315-268-32 or RCRA section 3004(d); or(II) Such residues are prohibited from land disposal under Subsection R315-268-33(f).(8) For owners and operators seeking an exemption to the air emission standards of 40 CFR 265 Subpart CC, in accordance with 40 CFR 265.1083, which are adopted and incorporated by reference.(i) If direct measurement is used for the waste determination, the procedures and schedules for waste sampling and analysis, and the results of the analysis of test data to verify the exemption.(ii) If knowledge of the waste is used for the waste determination, any information prepared by the facility owner or operator or by the generator of the hazardous waste, if the waste is received from off-site, that is used as the basis for knowledge of the waste.(c) For off-site facilities, the waste analysis plan required in Subsection R315-265-13(b) shall also specify the procedures which will be used to inspect and, if necessary, analyze each movement of hazardous waste received at the facility to ensure that it matches the identity of the waste designated on the accompanying manifest or shipping paper. At a minimum, the plan shall describe: (1) The procedures which will be used to determine the identity of each movement of waste managed at the facility; and(2) The sampling method which will be used to obtain a representative sample of the waste to be identified, if the identification method includes sampling.(3) The procedures that the owner or operator of an off-site landfill receiving containerized hazardous waste will use to determine whether a hazardous waste generator or treater has added a biodegradable sorbent to the waste in the container.Utah Admin.
