Purpose

The Broad Spectrum Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) defines the technical requirements for waste acceptance at the East Tennessee Waste Treatment Center (ETWTC). The document has been designed to lead the generator through the steps of categorizing waste; characterizing the waste; completing the required documentation; and packaging the waste for shipment to the ETWTC.

The ETWTC reserves the right to revise this WAC, as it deems necessary based on regulatory, administrative, technical, or operational changes.

Waste Acceptance Criteria Objectives

The WAC is designed to ensure the following objectives are met:
  • All waste is uniformly evaluated to determine acceptability under current licenses, permits, and operating guidelines
  • All waste has physical and chemical hazards identified to allow for safe and appropriate handling of waste during shipment and processing
  • All waste is characterized in terms of physical and chemical constituents to determine compatibility of the waste with facility equipment and determine optimum operating conditions
  • All waste is accompanied by complete documentation as required by the facility’s licenses, permits and operating guidelines
Applicability

This WAC applies to all waste accepted by the ETWTC for treatment and/or subsequent disposal as approved by the State of Tennessee.

The ETWTC System Description

The ETWTC facility is designed to accept and treat the following waste types:
  • Resource and Recovery Conservation Act (RCRA) Regulated Waste
  • Low Level Radioactive Waste
  • Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) Regulated Waste (PCB waste)
  • Mixed Waste (RCRA/LLW), (TSCA/LLW), (RCRA/TSCA)
The ETWTC facility is comprised of processing units that are designed to treat the above mentioned waste types into a stable chemical form for disposal. The treatment units consist of process equipment, which will neutralize, precipitate, and stabilize waste that is suitable for alternate uses or off-site disposal. The ETWTC treatment process also uses Direct Chemical Oxidation, reactive waste treatment methods, and Macro-encapsulation for treating special selected waste streams.

Acceptance Restrictions

Hazardous Restrictions

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Hazardous Waste Codes that may be received by the ETWTC are identified in Attachment A.

The ETWTC does not accept waste meeting the following criteria:
  • Waste packaged as compressed gas
  • Medical wastes as defined under 40 CFR 259
  • Biological waste
The ETWTC reserves the right to reject waste after reviewing the customer’s Waste Data Sheet based on technical, economical or operational infeasibility. The ETWTC may limit or delay acceptance of certain wastes based on regulatory or operational conditions effective at the time. These limitations include:
  • Facility inventory - permits, licenses, regulatory limits, storage capacity
  • Operational mode - current configuration of equipment
  • Operational efficiency - treating reactive waste, mercury, and PCB contaminated waste
ETWTC will make every effort to minimize most limitations through scheduling.

Radiological Restrictions

The total radioactivity of a shipment must be approved by the RSO prior to shipment to the ETWTC, based on the quantity of radioactive material already in inventory at the ETWTC. The activity of a shipment shall not exceed the following limits (subject to approval by the RSO):
  • For atomic numbers 1 - 92, 80 Curies total activity
  • For atomic numbers 93 - 101, .8 Curies total not to exceed 90 nanocuries per gram of material
  • Special nuclear material shall not exceed the following limits, subject to approval by the RSO
    • For 235U, 300 grams total
    • For 239Pu, 200 grams total
    • For a combination of 235U and 239Pu, the sum of (the grams of 235U divided by 300) and (the grams of 239Pu divided by 200) shall be less than or equal to one
    • Special nuclear material is also subject to the Curie limitations specified above
  • Waste containing more than one nanocurie per gram of tritium shall be subject to approval of the RSO prior to shipment to the ETWTC.
  • Waste containing 226Ra, 232Th, 14C, 129I, 94Nb, or 99Tc shall be subject to approval by the RSO.
  • Radioactive material shall undergo a receipt survey for compliance with applicable regulations regarding exposure rates and removable radiocontaminant levels. Packaging shall comply with applicable regulatory criteria for the form of material received.
  • Exposure rates shall not exceed 100 millirem per hour on contact with the external surface of the waste or material received.
  • Exposure rates shall not exceed 50 millirem per hour measured at a distance of twelve inches (30 cm) from the surface of any single package (if the package is placed in a low background area).
  • Exposure rates shall not exceed 10 millirem per hour at a distance of three feet from any single package (if the package is placed in a low background area).
  • Allowable removable radiocontaminant levels on the external surface of packages received shall not exceed the following values. For gross measurements, use the most restrictive applicable case:

PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, RADIOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION

The ETWTC requires certain physical, chemical, and radiological data, prior to treatment. This data shall be used to evaluate the waste against permits, licenses and administrative criteria; evaluate safety considerations; and to optimize processing. It is critical to the ETWTC operations that the characterization data supplied by the generator be representative of the waste submitted. All waste streams should be characterized in accordance with EPA’s Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods (SW-846) [Current Edition]. If a generator’s waste is regulated under laws, permits, or agreements that specify alternate sampling or analytical methods, the generator will be allowed to substitute for those methods. Alternate sampling or analytical methods must be made known to the ETWTC Waste Receipt Manager.

ANALYTICAL DATA REQUIREMENTS

Analytical requirements for the ETWTC are based on whole waste characterization; not characterization of the individual contaminants. Decisions in regards to handling and processing the waste are based on the analytical data and/or process knowledge, so it is critical that the physical, chemical, and radiological constituents of the waste are identified.

Use of Process Knowledge

The generator may supplement sampling and analysis with process knowledge. All process knowledge determinations, however, must be documented in writing with supporting documentation such as original waste specification sheets or Material Safety Data Sheets. This information is to be submitted with the analytical data and the completed data sheets for evaluation by the ETWTC. The ETWTC reserves the right to request analyses if the process knowledge is not sufficient to adequately characterize the waste.

Note: If a physical evaluation of individual containers is conducted, it is beneficial to take photographs of the contents. These photographs are extremely beneficial to the ETWTC in evaluating wastes, particularly solids that may vary substantially and require size reduction.

Waste Acceptance

Upon completion of the characterization, the waste will be evaluated for acceptance.

Waste Packaging Requirements

General Information

All waste shall be packaged, marked, labeled, and shipped in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations and agreements. This shall include, but is not limited to; requirements by the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA), the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC).

The ETWTC reserves the right to schedule on-site reviews of the generator’s packaging, storage, and shipping operations prior to acceptance of waste.

Container Specifications

All drums shall have an open top or bunghole for inspection upon receipt. Drums shall have a capacity not to exceed 85 gallons. All drums exceeding 50 pounds shall be placed on pallets or configured for fork truck access. All containers shall be clearly labeled as to its contents upon receipt. The generator shall certify that pallets used during the shipping process can be released after unloading (i.e., non-radioactive, non-hazardous, etc.). Pallets found to be contaminated may be returned to the generator.

Overpacks and special waste/shipping containers (i.e., B-25 boxes, B-12 boxes, Century Containers) are acceptable for receipt at the ETWTC with prior approval from the Waste Receipt Manager.

Package Freeboard Specification

The generator shall leave a minimum container/tank freeboard of 5%. This requirement will provide protection against damage due to weather-related phase changes during shipment, liquid expansion, gas over-pressurization, and spillage while opening the container or tank. Overfilled containers or tanks may be rejected.

Package and Vehicle Contamination Limits

The external surfaces of packages and inner floor and walls of closed van type vehicles shall be visually free of residue on arrival at the ETWTC. Decontamination of contaminated vehicles will be the responsibility of the generator.

Waste Receipt and Disposition

Waste Acceptance

Upon receipt, the ETWTC shall inspect all containers or tanks for integrity. In addition, the information provided on the manifest or bill of lading and other shipping papers shall be compared to the actual shipment. The ETWTC Waste Receipt Manager will notify the generator upon receipt of the waste shipment to discuss any discrepancies. It is important that the technical contact identified is available, by phone, at the time the shipment is received. The ETWTC will make every effort to contact the appropriate site contact; however, the shipment may be rejected if there is a discrepancy, which cannot be resolved at the time of receipt.

The ETWTC will handle all significant manifest discrepancies in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations, and copies of all discrepancy reports and resolutions shall be maintained.

Rejection of Waste Upon Receipt

A waste may be rejected in total or in part upon receipt for the following:
  • Waste is determined to be prohibited as outlined in Acceptance Restriction Section of this WAC
  • Generator cannot provide sampling, laboratory and/or analytical support data upon request
  • Volume or weight of waste is in excess of what was indicated on 48 Hour Notification Form
  • Waste received in non-conforming containers
  • Waste arrives in structurally compromised containers
  • Drummed waste in excess of 50 pounds received non-palletized
  • Waste containers filled beyond 5% freeboard specification
  • Discrepancies are noted with the paperwork which cannot be resolved with the generator or technical contact
  • Failure to rectify discrepancies between the generator’s data and the fingerprint analysis
Any evidence of fraudulent information detected in the information submitted will result in the immediate rejection of the shipment. Nonconforming waste which resolution cannot be resolved shall be returned to the generator.

Residuals Management

All residuals from the treatment process (i.e., oversized solid wastes) shall be either returned to the generator or disposed by the ETWTC as ETWTC newly generated waste.
