McCommas Bluff Sanitary Landfill 1 Special Waste Guidance Document Dallas, TX Version 2015 –October 2015

McCommas Bluff Landfill (MBLF) Special Waste Guidance Document

The primary function of McCommas Bluff Landfill (MBLF) is to dispose waste for the Dallas Community;

however, before special waste can be accepted at the landfill, the generator must provide sufficient information to classify it according to the State of Texas. The Special Waste Guidance Document, provides assistance for generators to determine what options exist, if any, for disposal of special waste.

MBLF is a Type I landfill (30 TAC §335.5) Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) facility. The commission may authorize the designation of special-use areas for processing, storage, and disposal or any other functions involving solid waste.

McCommas Bluff Landfill is strictly prohibited from accepting any Hazardous, Class 1, Liquid Waste and some Special Waste. MBLF therefore can only accept Class 2, 3 and some Special Waste (on a case by case basis).

Note: Clean, Inert or waste soil may be subjected to a standard gate rate for regular MSW.

Classifying soil and or special waste is a multi-step process and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has established a set of waste classifications and definitions (30 TAC §335.1). Ultimately, it is left to the discretion of the Director of Sanitation to determine whether or not to accept soil and or special waste of any kind. Furthermore, in order to bring inert soil to MBLF; your project must consist of 1,000yd3 or greater of excess material from construction, demolition, or excavation.

The TCEQ has classified all MSW facilities according to the method of processing or disposal of MSW. Subject to the limitations in §§330.15, 330.171, and 330.173 of this title (relating to General Prohibitions; Disposal of Special Wastes; and Disposal of Industrial Wastes), and with the written approval of the executive director, Type I, IV, V, and VI MSW facilities may also receive special wastes, including Class 1 industrial solid waste and hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators, if properly handled and safeguarded in the facility.

Generators must submit an application along with analytical data to the Environmental Coordinator:

5555 Youngblood Road, Dallas, TX 75241 Phone: (214) 670-0990 Fax: (214) 670-0545 Refer to the checklist on page 10.

Landfill staff reserves the right to inspect loads as they are dumped at the facility and/or as they are loaded at the project site to ensure applicant compliance with the terms of the agreement to accept the special waste.

Landfill management reserves the right to refuse acceptance of any material at the landfill, for any reason, at their discretion.

McCommas Bluff Sanitary Landfill 2 Special Waste Guidance Document

Prohibited Soils

Regardless of its source, soil should be tested to determine the presence of certain chemicals and/or constituents of concern. Thus, all soils should be subjected to laboratory testing sufficient to prove that it does not demonstrate any of the following characteristics commonly encountered in soil, any of which would prevent acceptance at the landfill.

1. Contamination by petroleum products, crude oils, or chemicals in concentrations greater than 1,500 milligrams per kilogram total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH);

2. Contamination by constituents of concern exceeding concentrations listed in Section 335.521(a) (1) of Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code [30 TAC 335.521(a) (1)]. Attachment 1 to this document includes a copy of the table in that section of the TAC.

Non-industrial soil that demonstrates any of the unacceptable characteristics above is considered special waste and may not be accepted at the landfill for any reason. Furthermore, generators of soil from industrial sources must prove that the material is acceptable at the landfill by ruling out all of the following additional conditions:

3. Contamination by total recoverable cyanides greater than or equal to 20 part per million;

4. Contamination by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in concentrations greater than or equal to 50 parts per million;

5. An absence of analytical data and/or process knowledge to prove a waste soil does not demonstrate any of the listed characteristics;

6. Contamination by any industrial waste if waste soil originates outside the state of Texas;

7. Previously hazardous waste soil that has been subsequently stabilized to the point that it now demonstrates Class 1 characteristics.

Hazardous Waste (Prohibited) 30 TAC §335.504 A person who generates a solid waste must determine if that waste is hazardous using the following method:

(1) Determine if the material is excluded from being a solid waste or hazardous waste per §335.1 of this title (relating to Definitions) or identified in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 261, Subpart A, as amended through January 2, 2008 (73 FR 57).

(2) If the material is a solid waste, determine if the waste is listed as, or mixed with, or derived from a listed hazardous waste identified in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart D, as amended through June 4, 2008 (73 FR 31756).

(3) If the material is a solid waste, determine whether the waste exhibits any characteristics of a hazardous waste as identified in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C, as amended through July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40254).

McCommas Bluff Sanitary Landfill 3 Special Waste Guidance Document

Class 1 Waste (Prohibited) 30 TAC §335.505 A nonhazardous industrial solid waste is a Class 1 waste if:

(1) It contains specific constituents which equal or exceed the levels listed in §335.521(a) (1) of this title (relating to Appendix 1, Table 1) as determined by the methods outlined in this section.

A nonhazardous waste is a Class 1 waste if, using the test methods described in 40 CFR Part 261 Appendix II, or equivalent methods approved by the executive director under the procedures set forth in §335.509 of this title (relating to Waste Analysis), the extract from a representative sample of the waste contains any of the contaminants listed in §335.521(a) (1) at a concentration equal to or greater than the Maximum Concentration given in that table. Information on representative samples is set forth in §335.509 of this title (relating to Waste Analysis). Where matrix interferences of the waste cause the Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) of the specific analysis to be greater than the Maximum Concentration listed in §335.521(a) (1), then the achievable PQL becomes the Maximum Concentration, provided that the generator maintains documentation which would satisfactorily demonstrate to the executive director that lower levels of quantitation of a sample are not possible.

A satisfactory demonstration includes the results from the analysis of the waste for that specific analyte by a laboratory utilizing an appropriate method described in "Test Methods for the Evaluation of Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods" (EPA SW-846), "Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes" (EPA- 600/4-79/020), "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," "American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Methods," any EPA-approved method, or an equivalent method approved by the executive director under procedures set forth in §335.509 of this title (relating to Waste Analysis);

(2) It is Class 1 ignitable. A nonhazardous waste is Class 1 ignitable if a representative sample of the waste has any of the following properties:

(A) it is liquid and has a flash point less than 65.6 degrees Celsius (150 degrees Fahrenheit), as determined by a Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester, using the test method specified in ASTM Standard D-93-79 or D-93-80, or a Setaflash Closed Cup Tester, using the test method specified in ASTM Standard D-3278-78 or as determined by an equivalent test method approved by the executive director under procedures set forth in §335.509 of this title (relating to Waste Analysis); or

(B) it is a physical solid or semi-solid under which conditions normally incident to storage, transportation, and disposal is capable of causing fires through friction, or retained heat from manufacturing or processing, or which can be ignited readily, and when ignited burns both vigorously and persistently such that it creates a serious hazard. Included in this class are spontaneously combustible and water-reactive materials, including but not necessarily limited to the substances listed in §335.521(a)(2) of this title (relating to Appendix 1, Table 2) and found in 49 CFR Part 173 Subchapter E. Generators should demonstrate that a waste with significant concentrations of these constituents is not Class 1 ignitable;

(3) It is Class 1 corrosive. A nonhazardous waste is Class 1 corrosive if a representative sample of the waste is a semi-solid or solid which, when mixed with an equivalent weight of ASTM Type II laboratory distilled or deionized water, produces a solution having a pH less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to 12.5.

Solidified, stabilized, encapsulated, or otherwise chemically-bound wastes are not subject to this requirement provided the waste is solidified such that when a representative sample of the waste is subjected to the paint filter test (SW-846 Method 9095) it exhibits no free liquids. An equivalent method approved by the executive director under procedures set forth in §335.509 of this title (relating to Waste Analysis) may be utilized;

(4) It contains total recoverable cyanides equal to or greater than 20 parts per million;

http://info.sos.state.tx.us/pls/pub/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=T&app=9&p_dir=N&p_rloc=142901&p_tloc=&p_ploc=1&pg=3&p_tac=&ti=30&pt=1&ch=335&rl=505

McCommas Bluff Sanitary Landfill 4 Special Waste Guidance Document

(5) There is an absence of analytical data and/or documented process knowledge (as described in §335.511 of this title (relating to Use of Process Knowledge)) which proves a waste is Class 2 or Class 3;

(6) It is identified as a Class 1 waste in §335.508 of this title (relating to Classification of Specific Industrial Solid Wastes); or

(7) It is not a hazardous waste pursuant to §335.504 of this title (relating to Hazardous Waste Determination) and a generator chooses to classify the waste as Class 1.

Liquid Wastes 30 TAC 335.3 (81)

Soils typically contain some percentage of moisture. Generally, this is not a problem. However, in some cases, waste soil can be wet enough to qualify as liquid waste.

In Texas, waste is considered liquid if it contains “free liquids.” To certify that material does not contain free liquids, the generator must subject it to the Paint Filter Test (U. S. EPA Method 9095 from EPA Publication Number SW-846). Attachment 4 contains a description of the Paint Filter Test procedure.

Disposal Options: Under Texas law, McCommas Bluff Landfill may not accept liquid waste for any reason.

Only specially equipped disposal facilities may accept liquid wastes.

Inert and Clean Soils

Inert Soil is material which is inert, essentially insoluble, and poses no threat to human health and/or the environment. Soil that is not Prohibited Soil should be further tested to determine if it can qualify as Inert Soil.

Texas law stipulates the following criteria to establish insolubility:

1. Results of application of the Seven-Day Distilled Water Leachate Test [see Attachment 2 or 30 TAC 335.521(d)] show leachable concentrations less than or equal to the levels in Section 335.521(a)(3) of Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code [30 TAC 335.521(a)(3)]. Attachment 2 to this document includes a copy of the table in that section of the TAC;

2. Application of the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP—U. S. EPA Method 1311 from EPA Publication Number SW-846) results in non-detectable concentrations of constituents listed in Attachment 1 [30 TAC 335.521(a)(1)], excluding those constituents addressed by the Seven-Day Distilled Leachate Test that are NOT marked with an asterisk [see Attachment 2 or 30 TAC 335.521(d)];

3. Non-detectable levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH);

4. Non-detectable levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Clean Soil is soil not retrieved from an industrial source neither contaminated with any chemicals of concern.

Texas Law also states that Inert Soils are exempt from the definition of solid waste and as such, McCommas Bluff Landfill may accept soil of this category and use it as if it were virgin soil, e. g. it is acceptable as daily cover. However, a generator who wishes to pursue this option must submit a TCLP and Seven- Day Distilled Water Leachate Test.

Determination); or

(B) a generator chooses not to classify the waste as a Class 3 waste.

(b) Any waste designated as a Class 2 waste under §335.508 of this title (relating to Classification of Specific Industrial Solid Wastes) is a Class 2 waste.

Class 3 Waste (Accepted) 30 TAC §335.507 An industrial solid waste is a Class 3 waste if it is inert and essentially insoluble, and poses no threat to human health and/or the environment. Class 3 wastes include, but are not limited to, materials such as rock, brick, glass, dirt, and certain plastics and rubber, which are not readily decomposable. An industrial solid waste is a Class 3 waste if it:

(1) Is not a hazardous waste pursuant to §335.504 of this title (relating to Hazardous Waste Determination);

(2) Does not meet any of the Class 1 waste criteria set forth in §335.505 of this title (relating to Class 1 Waste

Determination); and

(3) Is inert. Inertness refers to chemical inactivity of an element, compound, or a waste. Ingredients added to mixtures chiefly for bulk and/or weight purposes are normally considered inert; and

(4) Is essentially insoluble.

(A) Essential insolubility is established:

(i) when, using the test methods specified in §335.521(d) of this title (relating to Appendix 4 (Seven-Day

Distilled Water Leachate Test)), the extract(s) from the representative sampling of the waste does not leach greater than the Maximum Contaminant Levels listed in §335.521(a)(3) of this title (relating to Appendix 1, Table 3); and

(ii) using the test methods described in 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 261, Appendix II, or equivalent methods approved by the executive director under the procedures set forth in §335.509 of this title (relating to Waste Analysis), the extract(s) from the representative sampling of the waste does not exhibit detectable levels of constituents found in §335.521(a)(1) of this title (relating to Appendix 1, Table 1) including constituents in §335.521(a)(3) of this title which are marked with an asterisk. This excludes the constituents listed in §335.521(a)(3) of this title which were addressed in clause (i) of this subparagraph; and http://info.sos.state.tx.us/pls/pub/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=T&app=9&p_dir=N&p_rloc=142901&p_tloc=&p_ploc=1&pg=3&p_tac=&ti=30&pt=1&ch=335&rl=505 http://info.sos.state.tx.us/pls/pub/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=T&app=9&p_dir=N&p_rloc=142901&p_tloc=&p_ploc=1&pg=3&p_tac=&ti=30&pt=1&ch=335&rl=505

McCommas Bluff Sanitary Landfill 6 Special Waste Guidance Document

(iii) when using an appropriate test method, representative sampling of the waste does not exhibit detectable levels of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH). "Petroleum substance wastes" as defined in §334.481 of this title (relating to Definitions) are not subject to this subsection; and

(iv) when using an appropriate test method, representative sampling of the waste does not exhibit detectable levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

(B) Subparagraph (A) of this paragraph does not apply to naturally occurring material, i.e., soil; rock, etc., if the generator can demonstrate that the levels present in the waste are naturally occurring in the background of that particular material.

(C) If the detection level submitted by the generator is challenged by the executive director or the commission, and for other enforcement purposes, the burden is on the generator to demonstrate that the detection level was reasonable for the material in question and for the technology in use at the time the waste was classified.

Special Waste (Case by Case Basis) 30 TAC §335.508 The following nonhazardous industrial solid wastes shall be classified no less stringently than according to the provisions of this section.

(6) Wastes which are petroleum substances or contain contamination from petroleum substances, as defined in §335.1 of this title shall be classified as a Class 1 waste until a generator demonstrates that the waste's total petroleum hydrocarbon concentration (TPH) is less than or equal to 1,500 parts per million (ppm). Where hydrocarbons cannot be differentiated into specific petroleum substances, then such wastes with a TPH concentration of greater than 1,500 ppm shall be classified as a Class 1 waste. Wastes resulting from the

McCommas Bluff Sanitary Landfill 8 Special Waste Guidance Document cleanup of leaking underground storage tanks (USTs) which are regulated under Chapter 334, Subchapter K of this title (relating to Petroleum Substance Waste) are not subject to classification under this subchapter.

(7) Wastes generated by the mechanical shredding of automobiles, appliances, or other items of scrap, used, or obsolete metals shall be handled according to the provisions set forth in Texas Health and Safety Code, §361.019, until the commission develops specific standards for the classification of this waste and assures adequate disposal capacity.

(8) If a nonhazardous industrial solid waste is generated as a result of commercial production of a "new chemical substance" as defined by the federal Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 United States Code §2602(9), the generator shall notify the executive director prior to the processing or disposal of the waste and shall submit documentation requested under §335.513(b) and (c) of this title for review. The waste shall be managed as a Class 1 waste, unless the generator can provide appropriate analytical data and/or process knowledge which demonstrate that the waste is Class 2 or Class 3, and the executive director concurs. If the generator has not received concurrence from the executive director within 120 days from the date of the request for review, the generator may manage the waste according to the requested classification, but not prior to giving ten working days written notice to the executive director.

(9) All nonhazardous industrial solid waste generated outside the state of Texas and transported into or through Texas for processing, storage, or disposal shall be classified as:

(A) Class 1; or

(B) may be classified as a Class 2 or Class 3 waste if:

(i) the material satisfies the Class 2 or Class 3 criteria as defined in §§335.506, 335.507 or 335.508 of this title (relating to Class 2 Waste Determination; Class 3 Waste Determination; Classification of Specific Industrial Solid Wastes); and

(ii) a request for Class 2 or Class 3 waste determination is submitted to the executive director accompanied by all supporting documentation as required by §335.513 of this title. Waste generated out-of-state may be assigned a Class 2 or Class 3 classification only after approval by the executive director.

(10) Wastes which are hazardous solely because they exhibit a hazardous characteristic, which are not considered hazardous debris as defined in 40 CFR §268.2(g), which are subsequently stabilized and no longer exhibit a hazardous characteristic and which meet the land disposal restrictions as defined in 40 CFR Part 268 may be classified according to the Class 1 or Class 2 classification criteria as defined in §§335.505, 335.506, and 335.508 of this title.

Alternative to TCLP

McCommas Bluff Sanitary Landfill 14 __Special Waste Guidance Document

A less expensive alternative to the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) analysis is a total constituent analysis. If a total (i.e., total lead, total benzene, etc.) exceeds the example limits listed below or exceeds 20 times the TCLP limit for a Class 2-like waste, then the TCLP must be performed and the TCLP results must not exceed the stated limits for disposal in a standard MSW Type I landfill unit. For TCLP results that exceed the example limits listed below but do not exceed a hazardous limit, the waste may be authorized for disposal into an MSW Type I landfill with a Class 1 industrial waste unit. More TCLP limits can be found on Table 1, Appendix 1 of 30 TAC 335 Subchapter R:

There are additional constituent analyses that can limit the options for disposal into an MSW Type I landfill unit:

a. TPH < 1,500 mg/kg may be disposed of in a standard MSW Type I landfill unit.

b. TPH ≥ 1,500 mg/kg may be disposed of in an MSW Type I landfill with a Class 1 industrial unit as specified in 30 TAC 330.171(b)(4).

c. PCBs ≥ 50 mg/kg may not be disposed of in an MSW Type I landfill unit, unless authorized by the USEPA as specified in 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 761.

d. NORM concentrations must be below 30 picocuries per gram for disposal in an MSW Type I landfill unit as specified in 25 TAC 289.259(d)(1)(A).

Seven-Day Distilled Water Leachate Test [30 TAC 335.521(d)]

This test is intended only for dry, solid wastes, i.e. waste materials without any free liquids

1. Place a 250 gram (dry weight) representative sample of the waster material in a 1,500 ml Erlenmayer flask.

2. Add one liter of deionized or distilled water into the flask and mechanically stir the material at a low speed for five minutes

3. Stopper the flask and allow to stand for seven days

4. At the end of seven days, filter the supernatant solution through a 0.45-micron filter, collecting the supernatant into a separate flask

5. Subject the filtered leachate to the appropriate analysis

McCommas Bluff Sanitary Landfill 17 __Special Waste Guidance Document

Attachment 4: Paint Filter Test EPA Method 9095b from EPA Publication SW-846

Purpose:

Use this method to determine the presence of free liquids in a representative sample of waste. For a more detailed description of test method see EPA Publication SW-846 (Method 9095b).

Summary:

Place a predetermined amount of material in a paint filter. If any of the material passes through the filter and drops from the filter in a 5-minute test period, the material contains free liquids.

Note:

Temperature can affect the results—tests must be performed above the freezing point of any liquid in the sample.

Materials:

1. Conical paint filter: mesh number 60 +/- 5% (fine meshed size)—available at local paint or home improvement stores

2. Ring stand and ring, or tripod: standard chemistry laboratory equipment—to hold the filter during the test period

3. Graduated cylinder or beaker: standard chemistry laboratory equipment—100-ml size

4. Glass funnel (optional): If the filter cannot sustain the weight of the waste, use a glass funnel with a mouth wide enough to allow at least 1 inch of the filter to protrude as support—the mouth of the funnel should be large enough, so as to not interfere with movement of liquid passing through the filter mesh.

Sample Collection:

Use a 100-ml or 100-gram representative sample for the test, unless it is not possible to obtain sample of that size that is sufficiently representative of the waste. In that case, use larger sample in multiples of 100 ml or 100 grams, e.g. 200, 300, or 400 ml or grams. If larger samples are used, divide into 100-ml or 100-gram portions and test each portion separately. If any portion contains free liquids, consider the entire sample to have free liquids.

Procedure:

1. Assemble the test apparatus as shown at right.

2. If material does not conform to shape of filter (such as sorbent pads), cut the sample into small pieces (less than 1cm).

3. For brittle material that does not conform to the filter, lightly crush the sample if cutting is not practical.

4. Place sample into the filter.

5. Allow sample to drain into graduated cylinder for 5 minutes.

6. Observe contents of graduated cylinder.

Results:

If any portion of the test material collects in the graduated cylinder in the 5-minute period, the material contains free liquids.

Application to Bring Special Waste to MBLF

McCommas Bluff Sanitary Landfill 18 __Special Waste Guidance Document

Before bringing soil or special waste to McCommas Bluff Landfill, the generator must submit an application to the landfill management. The management will evaluate the application to determine the disposal options, if any, at the landfill and inform the applicant of their determination. Only upon approval from the landfill management should an applicant expect to bring special waste to the landfill. The applicant must adhere to the landfill’s delivery management system to track the amount of special waste delivered and ensure that only authorized material is delivered to the landfill. Contractors will be issued load tickets, which require wet signatures from the contractor and haulers. These load tickets are project-specific and may not be used for any other projects.

Application

Any contractor (e.g. project manager, superintendent, etc.) who wishes to bring soil or special waste to the landfill must submit an application in which the generator provides information about the special waste including source, amounts, and characteristics. Certain material may require laboratory data sufficient to determine the classification of the waste.

Applicant Responsibilities

Applicants to bring approved material to the landfill must accept the responsibility to do the following:

1. Distribute one load ticket at a time to each truck driver; maintain ticket distribution; and request truck drivers to complete the Transporter Information Section. Note: Haulers may be required to be registered with the City of Dallas to deliver soil or special waste to McCommas Bluff Landfill.

2. CANNOT FOR ANY REASON, POINT OR PURPOSE PHOTOCOPY ANY LOAD TICKETS

AND ATTEMPT TO USE THEM TO GAIN ACCESS TO McCOMMAS BLUFF LANDFILL.

THIS IS STRICLY FORBIDDEN AND WILL RESULT IN THE CANCELLATION OF THAT

PROJECT’S SPECIAL WASTE TO ACCESS McCOMMAS BLUFF LANDFILL.

3. Provide sufficient information to determine the classification of soil (i.e. analytical report- chain of custody form, and a site map for specified project must be attached). The applicant must sign an affidavit asserting the validity of the information provided. Please be aware that MBLF reserves the right to ask for additional lab data/testing;

4. Lab data must not exceed 12 months;

5. State depth of excavation;

6. Use a TCLP, not a SPLP and Seven- Day Distilled Water LeachateTest;

7. Inform landfill management of any changes to the quality or quantity of soil at the project site;

8. Allow landfill staff access to the site, at their discretion, to inspect loading operations;

9. Allow landfill staff to inspect loads as they are dumped at the landfill;

10. Haulers shall enter MBLF through the North Gate (Simpson Stuart and 310), go over the scales, and see scale house attendant;

11. Soil may be delivered between the hours of 8AM-5PM Monday thru Friday and 8AM-4PM on Saturday.

12. Approval from landfill management must be received before…
