Marathon Oil Co.. Texas City, Texas Residual solids (at a maximum
annual generation rate of 1,000
cubic yards) generated from the
thermal desorption treatment and,
where necessary, stabilization of
wastewater treatment plant API/
DAF filter cake (EPA Hazardous
Waste Nos. K048 and K051), after
[insert date of publication].
Marathon 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 treatment
process to be effective under the
operating conditions used during
the initial verification testing,
Marathon may replace the testing
required in Condition (1)(A) with
the testing required in Condition
(1)(B). Marathon must continue to
test as specified in Condition
(1)(A), including testing for
organics in Conditions (3)(B) and
(3)(C), until and unless notified
by EPA in writing that testing in
Condition (1)(A) may be replaced
by Condition (1)(B), or that
testing for organics may be
terminated as described in (1)(C)
(to the extent directed by EPA).
(A) Initial Verification Testing:
During at least the first 40
operating days of full-scale
operation of the thermal
desorption unit, Marathon must
monitor the operating conditions
and analyze 5-day composites of
residual solids. 5-day composites
must be composed of
representative grab samples
collected from every batch during
each 5-day period of operation.
The samples must be analyzed
prior to disposal of the residual
solids for constituents listed in
Condition (3). Marathon must
report the operational and
analytical test data, including
quality control information,
obtained during this initial
period no later than 90 days
after the treatment of the first
full-scale batch.
(B) Subsequent Verification
Testing: Following notification
by EPA, Marathon may substitute
the testing conditions in (1)(B)
for (1)(A). Marathon must
continue to monitor operating
conditions, and analyze samples
representative of each month of
operation. The samples must be
composed of representative grab
samples collected during at least
the first five days of operation
of each month. These monthly
representative samples must be
analyzed for the constituents
listed in Condition (3) prior to
the disposal of the residual
solids. Marathon may, at its
discretion, analyze composite
samples gathered more frequently
to demonstrate that smaller
batches of waste are
nonhazardous.
(C) Termination of Organic
Testing: Marathon must continue
testing as required under
Condition (1)(B) for organic
constituents specified in
Conditions (3)(B) and (3)(C)
until the analyses submitted
under Condition (1)(B) show a
minimum of four consecutive
monthly representative samples
with levels of specific
constituents significantly below
the delisting levels in
Conditions (3)(B) and (3)(C), and
EPA notifies Marathon in writing
that monthly testing for specific
organic constituents may be
terminated. Following termination
of monthly testing, Marathon must
continue to test a representative
5-day composite sample for all
constituents listed in Conditions
(3)(B) and (3)(C) on an annual
basis. If delisting levels for
any constituents listed in
Conditions (3)(B) and (3)(C) are
exceeded in the annual sample,
Marathon must reinstitute
complete testing as required in
Condition (1)(B).
(2) Waste Holding and Handling:
Marathon must store as hazardous
all residual solids generated
until verification testing (as
specified in Conditions (1)(A)
and (1)(B)) is completed and
valid analysis demonstrates that
Condition (3) is satisfied. If
the levels of hazardous
constituents in the samples of
residual solids are below all of
the levels set forth in Condition
(3), then the residual solids are
non-hazardous and may be managed
and disposed of in accordance
with all applicable solid waste
regulations. If hazardous
constituent levels in any 5-day
composite or other representative
sample equal or exceed any of the
delisting levels set in Condition
(3), the residual solids
generated during the
corresponding time period must be
retreated and/or stabilized as
allowed below, until the residual
solids meet these levels, or
managed and disposed of in
accordance with Subtitle C of
RCRA.
If the residual solids contain
leachable inorganic
concentrations at or above the
delisting levels set forth in
Condition (3)(A), then Marathon
may stabilize the material with
Type 1 portland cement as
demonstrated in the petition to
immobilize the metals. Following
stabilization, Marathon must
repeat analyses in Condition
(3)(A) prior to disposal.
(3) Delisting Levels: Leachable
concentrations in Conditions
(3)(A) and (3)(B) must be
measured in the waste leachate by
the method specified in 40 CFR
261.24. The indicator parameters
in Condition (3)(C) must be
measured as the total
concentration in the waste.
Concentrations must be less than
the following levels (ppm):
(A) Inorganic Constituents:
antimony-0.6; arsenic, chromium,
or silver-5.0; barium-100.0;
beryllium-0.4; cadmium-0.5; lead-
1.5; mercury-0.2; nickel-10.0;
selenium-1.0; vanadium-20.0.
(B) Organic Constituents:
acenaphthene-200; benzene-0.5;
benzo(a)anthracene-0.01;
benzo(a)pyrene-0.02;
benzo(b)fluoranthene-0.02;
chrysene-0.02; ethyl benzene-70;
fluoranthene-100; fluorene-100;
naphthalene-100; pyrene-100;
toluene-100.
(C) Indicator Parameters: 1-methyl
naphthalene-3; benzo(a)pyrene-3.
(4) Changes in Operating
Conditions: After completing the
initial verification test period
in Condition (1)(A), if Marathon
significantly changes the
operating conditions established
under Condition (1), Marathon
must notify the Agency in
writing. After written approval
by EPA, Marathon must re-
institute the testing required in
Condition (1)(A) for a minimum of
four 5-day operating periods.
Marathon must report the
operations and test data,
required by Condition (1)(A),
including quality control data,
obtained during this period no
later than 60 days after the
changes take place. Following
written notification by EPA,
Marathon may replace testing
Condition (1)(A) with (1)(B).
Marathon must fulfill all other
requirements in Condition (1), as
appropriate.
(5) Data Submittals: At least two
weeks prior to system start-up,
Marathon must notify in writing
the Section Chief Delisting
Section (see address below) when
the thermal desorption and
stabilization units will be on-
line and waste treatment will
begin. The data obtained through
Condition (1)(A) must be
submitted to HWID/OSW (5304W) (OS-
333), U.S. EPA, 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460
within the time period specified.
Records of operating conditions
and analytical data from
Condition (1) must be compiled,
summarized, and maintained on
site for a minimum of five years.
These records and data must be
furnished upon request by EPA or
the State of Texas and made
available for inspection. 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 EPA, 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

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.''

Plant. (EPA Hazardous Plant Waste No.
K106) after September 19, 1989.
This exclusion is conditional
upon the submission of data
obtained from Occidental's full-
scale retort treatment system
because Occidental's original
data were based on a pilot-scale
retort system. To ensure that
hazardous constituents are not
present in the waste at levels of
regulatory concern once the full-
scale treatment facility is in
operation, Occidental must
implement a testing program. All
sampling 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,

to disposal or recycling, must be
analyzed for the EP leachate
concentrations of all the EP
toxic metals (except mercury),
nickel, and cyanide (using
distilled water in the cyanide
extractions). Occidental must
report the analytical test data,
including all quality control
data, obtained during this
initial period no later than 90
days after the treatment of the
first full-scale batch.
(B) Collect representative grab
samples of every batch of
retorted material prior to its
disposal or recycling and analyze
the sample for EP leachate
concentration of mercury.
Occidental must report the
analytical test data, including
all quality control data, within
90 days after the treatment of
the first full-scale batch.
(2) Subsequent Testing_After the

by any employee or representative
of EPA or the State of Alabama.
These testing requirements shall
be terminated by EPA when the
results of four consecutive
weekly composite samples of the
petitioned waste, obtained from
either the initial testing or
subsequent testing show the
maximum allowable levels in
condition (3) are not exceeded
and the Section Chief, Variances
Section, notifies Occidental that
the requirements of this
condition have been lifted.
(B) Continue to sample and test
for mercury as described in
condition (1)(B).
Occidental must compile and store
on-site for a minimum of three
years all analytical data and
quality control data. These data
must be furnished upon request

by any employee or representative
of EPA or the State of Alabama.
These testing requirements shall
remain in effect until Occidental
provides EPA with analytical and
quality control data for thirty
consecutive batches of retorted
material, collected as described
in condition (1)(B),
demonstrating that the EP
leachable levels of mercury are
below the maximum allowable level
in condition (3) and the Section
Chief, Variances Section,
notifies Occidental that the
testing in condition (2)(B) may
be replaced with (2)(C).
(C) [If the conditions in (2)(B)
are satisfied, the testing
requirements for mercury in

mercury exceeds 0.065 mg/l, for
nickel exceeds 16.15 mg/l; or for
cyanide exceeds 22.61 mg/l, the
waste must either be retreated
until it meets these levels or
managed and disposed of in
accordance with subtitle C of
RCRA.
(4) Within one week of system
start-up, Occidental must notify
the Section Chief, Variances
Section (see address below) when
the full-scale retort system is
on-line and waste treatment has
begun. All data obtained through
condition (1) must be submitted
to PSPD/OSW (5303W), U.S. EPA,
1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20460 within the
time period specified in
condition (1). At the Section
Chief's request, Occidental must
submit any other analytical data
obtained through condition (2) to
the above address, within the
time period specified by the
