(2) Waste Holding and Handling:
(A) Bekaert must accumulate the
hazardous waste dewatered WWTP
sludge in accordance with the
applicable regulations of 40 CFR
262.34 and continue to dispose of
the dewatered WWTP sludge as
hazardous waste.
(B) Once the first quarterly
sampling and analyses event
described in paragraph (3) is
completed and valid analyses
demonstrate that no constituent
is present in the sample at a
level which exceeds the delisting
levels set in paragraph (1),
Bekaert can manage and dispose of
the dewatered WWTP sludge as
nonhazardous according to all
applicable solid waste
regulations.
(C) If constituent levels in any
sample taken by Bekaert exceed
any of the delisting levels set

this exclusion, Bekaert can
manage and dispose the
nonhazardous dewatered WWTP
sludge according to all
applicable solid waste
regulations.
(4) Annual Testing:
(A) If Bekaert completes the
quarterly testing specified in
paragraph (3) above and no sample
contains a constituent with a
level which exceeds the limits
set forth in paragraph (1),
Bekaert may begin annual testing
as follows: Bekaert must test one
representative composite sample
of the dewatered WWTP sludge for
all constituents listed in
paragraph (1) at least once per

Bethlehem Steel Sparrows Point, Stabilized filter cake (at a
Corporation. Maryland. maximum annual rate of 1100 cubic
yards) from the treatment of
wastewater treatment sludges (EPA
Hazardous Waste No. F006)
generated from electroplating
operations after [insert date of
publication in Federal Register].
Bethlehem Steel (BSC) must
implement a testing program that
meets the following conditions
for the exclusion to be valid:
(1) Testing: Sample collection
and analyses (including quality
control (QC) procedures) must be
performed using appropriate
methods. As applicable to the
method-defined parameters of
concern, analyses requiring the
use of SW-846 methods
incorporated by reference in 40
CFR 260.11 must be used without
substitution. As applicable, the
SW-846 methods might include
Methods 0010, 0011, 0020, 0023A,
0030, 0031, 0040, 0050, 0051,
0060, 0061, 1010A, 1020B, 1110A,
1310B, 1311, 1312, 1320, 1330A,
9010C, 9012B, 9040C, 9045D,
9060A, 9070A (uses EPA Method
1664, Rev. A), 9071B, and 9095B.
If EPA judges the stabilization
process to be effective under the
conditions used during the
initial verification testing, BSC
may replace the testing required
in Condition (1)(A) with the
testing required in Condition
(1)(B). BSC must continue to test
as specified in Condition (1)(A)
until and unless notified by EPA
in writing that testing in
Condition (1)(A) may be replaced
by Condition (1)(B) (to the
extent directed by EPA).
(A) Initial Verification Testing:
During at least the first eight
weeks of operation of the full-
scale treatment system, BSC must
collect and analyze weekly
composites representative of the
stabilized waste. Weekly
composites must be composed of
representative grab samples
collected from every batch during
each week of stabilization. The
composite samples must be
collected and analyzed, prior to
the disposal of the stabilized
filter cake, for all constituents
listed in Condition (3). BSC must
report the analytical test data,
including a record of the ratios
of lime kiln dust and fly ash
used and quality control
information, obtained during this
initial period no later than 60
days after the collection of the
last composite of stabilized
filter cake.
(B) Subsequent Verification
Testing: Following written
notification by EPA, BSC may
substitute the testing condition
in (1)(B) for (1)(A). BSC must
collect and analyze at least one
composite representative of the
stabilized filter cake generated
each month. Monthly composites
must be comprised of
representative samples collected
from all batches that are
stabilized in a one-month period.
The monthly samples must be
analyzed prior to the disposal of
the stabilized filter cake for
chromium, lead and nickel. BSC
may, at its discretion, analyze
composite samples more frequently
to demonstrate that smaller
batches of waste are non-
hazardous.
(C) Annual Verification Testing:
In order to confirm that the
characteristics of the treated
waste do not change
significantly, BSC must, on an
annual basis, analyze a
representative composite sample
of stabilized filter cake for all
TC constituents listed in 40 CFR
§ 261.24 using the method
specified therein. This composite
sample must represent the
stabilized filter cake generated
over one week.
(2) Waste Holding and Handling:
BSC must store, as hazardous, all
stabilized filter cake generated
until verification testing (as
specified in Conditions (1)(A)
and (1)(B)) is completed and
valid analyses demonstrate that
the delisting levels set forth in
Condition (3) are met. If the
levels of hazardous constituents
measured in the samples of
stabilized filter cake generated
are below all the levels set
forth in Condition (3), then the
stabilized filter cake is non-
hazardous and may be managed and
disposed of in accordance with
all applicable solid waste
regulations. If hazardous
constituent levels in any weekly
or monthly composite sample equal
or exceed any of the delisting
levels set in Condition (3), the
stabilized filter cake generated
during the time period
corresponding to this sample must
be retreated until it is below
these levels or managed and
disposed of in accordance with
Subtitle C of RCRA.
(3) Delisting Levels: All
concentrations must be measured
in the waste leachate by the
method specified in 40 CFR §
261.24. The leachable
concentrations for the
constituents must be below the
following levels (ppm):
arsenic_4.8; barium_100;
cadmium_0.48; chromium_5.0;
lead_1.4; mercury_0.19;
nickel_9.6; selenium_1.0;
silver_5.0.
(4) Changes in Operating
Conditions: After completing the
initial verification test period
in Condition (1)(A), if BSC
decides to significantly change
the stabilization process (e.g.,
stabilization reagents) developed
under Condition (1), then BSC
must notify EPA in writing prior
to instituting the change. After
written approval by EPA, BSC may
manage waste generated from the
changed process as non-hazardous
under this exclusion, provided
the other conditions of this
exclusion are fulfilled.
(5) Data Submittals: Two weeks
prior to system start-up, BSC
must notify in writing (see
address below) when stabilization
of the dewatered filter cake will
begin. The data obtained through
Condition (1)(A) must be
submitted to Waste and Chemicals
Management Division (Mail Code
3HW11), U.S. EPA Region III, 1650
Arch St., Philadelphia, PA 19103
within the time period specified.
The analytical data, including
quality control information and
records of ratios of lime kiln
dust and fly ash used, must be
compiled and maintained on site
for a minimum of five years.
These data must be furnished upon
request and made available for
inspection by EPA or the State of
Maryland. Failure to submit the
required data within the
specified time period or maintain
the required records on site for
the specified time will be
considered by the Agency, at its
discretion, sufficient basis to
revoke the exclusion to the
extent directed by EPA. All data
must be accompanied by a signed
copy of the following
certification statement to attest
to the truth and accuracy of the
data submitted:
``Under civil and criminal
penalty of law for the making or
submission of false or fraudulent
statements or representations
(pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Federal Code,
which include, but may not be
limited to, 18 U.S.C § 1001
and 42 U.S.C § 6928), I
certify that the information
contained in or accompanying this
document is true, accurate and
complete.
As to the (those) identified
section(s) of this document for
which I cannot personally verify
its (their) truth and accuracy, I
certify as the company official
having supervisory responsibility
for the persons who, acting under
my direct instructions, made the
verification that this
information is true, accurate and
complete.
In the event that any of this
information is determined by EPA
in its sole discretion to be
false, inaccurate or incomplete,
and upon conveyance of this fact
to the company, I recognize and
agree that this exclusion of
waste will be void as if it never
had effect or to the extent
directed by EPA and that the
company will be liable for any
actions taken in contravention of
the company's RCRA and CERCLA
obligations premised upon the
company's reliance on the void
exclusion.''
BMW Manufacturing Greer, South Wastewater treatment sludge (EPA
Co., LLC. Carolina. Hazardous Waste No. F019) that
BMW Manufacturing Corporation
(BMW) generates by treating
wastewater from automobile
assembly plant located on Highway
101 South in Greer, South
Carolina. This is a conditional
exclusion for up to 2,850 cubic
yards of waste (hereinafter
referred to as ``BMW Sludge'')
that will be generated each year
and disposed in a Subtitle D
landfill after August 31, 2005.
With prior approval by the EPA,
following a public comment
period, BMW may also beneficially
reuse the sludge. BMW must
demonstrate that the following
conditions are met for the
exclusion to be valid.
(1) Delisting Levels: All
leachable concentrations for
these metals and cyanide must not
exceed the following levels
(ppm): Barium-100; Cadmium-1;
Chromium-5; Cyanide-33.6, Lead-5;
and Nickel-70.3. These metal and
cyanide concentrations must be
measured in the waste leachate
obtained by the method specified
in 40 CFR 261.24, except that for
cyanide, deionized water must be
the leaching medium. Cyanide
concentrations in waste or
leachate must be measured by the
method specified in 40 CFR
268.40, Note 7.
(2) Annual Verification Testing
Requirements: Sample collection
and analyses, including quality
control procedures, must be
performed using appropriate
methods. As applicable to the
method-defined parameters of
concern, analyses requiring the
use of SW-846 methods
incorporated by reference in 40
CFR 260.11 must be used without
substitution. As applicable, the
SW-846 methods might include
Methods 0010, 0011, 0020, 0023A,
0030, 0031, 0040, 0050, 0051,
0060, 0061, 1010A, 1020B, 1110A,
1310B, 1311, 1312, 1320, 1330A,
9010C, 9012B, 9040C, 9045D,
9060A, 9070A, (uses EPA Method
1664, Rev. A), 9071B, and 9095B.
Methods must meet Performance
Based Measurement System Criteria
in which the Data Quality
Objectives are to demonstrate
that representative samples of
the BMW Sludge meet the delisting
levels in Condition (1). (A)
Annual Verification Testing: BMW
must implement an annual testing
program to demonstrate that
constituent concentrations
measured in the TCLP extract do
not exceed the delisting levels
established in Condition (1).
(3) Waste Holding and Handling:
BMW must hold sludge containers
utilized for verification
sampling until composite sample
results are obtained. If the
levels of constituents measured
in the composite samples of BMW
Sludge do not exceed the levels
set forth in Condition (1), then
the BMW Sludge is non-hazardous
and must be managed in accordance
with all applicable solid waste
regulations. If constituent
levels in a composite sample
exceed any of the delisting
levels set forth in Condition
(1), the batch of BMW Sludge
generated during the time period
corresponding to this sample must
be managed and disposed of in
accordance with Subtitle C of
RCRA.
(4) Changes in Operating
Conditions: BMW must notify EPA
in writing when significant
changes in the manufacturing or
wastewater treatment processes
are implemented. EPA will
determine whether these changes
will result in additional
constituents of concern. If so,
EPA will notify BMW in writing
that the BMW Sludge must be
managed as hazardous waste F019
until BMW has demonstrated that
the wastes meet the delisting
levels set forth in Condition (1)
and any levels established by EPA
for the additional constituents
of concern, and BMW has received
written approval from EPA. If EPA
determines that the changes do
not result in additional
constituents of concern, EPA will
notify BMW, in writing, that BMW
must verify that the BMW Sludge
continues to meet Condition (1)
delisting levels.
(5) Data Retention: Records of
analytical data from Condition
(2) must be compiled, summarized,
and maintained by BMW for aminimum of three years, and must (continued)
