Occidental Delaware City, Sodium chloride treatment muds
Chemical Delaware. (NaCl-TM), sodium chloride
Corporation. saturator cleanings (NaCl-SC),
and potassium chloride treatment
muds (KCl-TM) (all classified as
EPA Hazardous Waste No. K071)
generated at a maximum combined
rate (for all three wastes) of
1,018 tons per year. This
exclusion was published on April
29, 1991 and is conditioned upon
the collection of data from
Occidental's full-scale brine
treatment system because
Occidental's request for
exclusion was based on data from
a laboratory-scale brine
treatment process. To ensure that
hazardous constituents are not
present in the waste at levels of
regulatory concern once the full-
scale treatment system is in
operation, Occidental must
implement a testing program for
the petitioned waste. All
sampling 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. This testing program must
meet the following conditions for
the exclusion to be valid:
(1) Initial Testing: During the
first four weeks of full-scale
treatment system operation,
Occidental must do the following:
(A) Collect representative grab
samples from each batch of the
three treated wastestreams
(sodium chloride saturator
cleanings (NaCl-SC), sodium
chloride treatment muds (NaCl-TM)
and potassium chloride treatment
muds (KCl-TM)) on an as generated
basis and composite the samples
to produce three separate weekly
composite samples (of each type
of K071 waste). The three weekly
composite samples, prior to
disposal, 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 waste volumes
produced and 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 each batch of the
three treated wastestreams (NaCl-
SC, NACl-TM and KCl-TM) and
composite the grab samples to
produce three separate daily
composite samples (of each type
of K071 waste) on an as generated
basis. The three daily composite
samples, prior to disposal, must
be analyzed for the EP leachate
concentration of mercury.
Occidental must report the waste
volumes produced and 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.
(2) Subsequent Testing: After the
first four weeks of full-scale
treatment operations, Occidental
must do the following; all
sampling and analyses (including
quality control procedures) must
be performed using appropriate
methods, and 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,

9010C, 9012B, 9040C, 9045D,
9060A, 9070A (uses EPA Method
1664, Rev. A), 9071B, and 9095B:
(A) Continue to sample and test as
described in condition (1)(A).
Occidental must compile and store
on-site for a minimum of three
years the records of waste
volumes produced and all
analytical data and quality
control data. These data must be
furnished upon request and made
available for inspection by any
employee or representative of EPA
or the State of Delaware. 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 the
records of waste volumes produced
and all analytical data and
quality control data. These data
must be furnished upon request
and made available for inspection
by any employee or representative
of EPA or the State of Delaware.
These testing requirements shall
be terminated and replaced with
the requirements of condition
(2)(C) if Occidental provides EPA
with analytical and quality
control data for thirty
consecutive batches of treated
material, collected as described
in condition (1)(B),
demonstrating that the EP
leachable level of mercury in
condition (3) is not exceeded (in
all three treated wastes), 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
(2)(B) shall be replaced with the
following condition.] Collect
representative grab samples from
each batch of the three treated
wastestreams (NaCl-SC, NaCl-TM
and KCl-TM) on an as generated
basis and composite the grab
samples to produce three separate
weekly composite samples (of each
type of K071 waste). The three
weekly composite samples, prior
to disposal, must be analyzed for
the EP leachate concentration of
mercury. Occidental must compile
and store on-site for a minimum
of three years the records of
waste volumes produced and all
analytical data and quality
control data. These data must be
furnished upon request and made
available for inspection by any
employee or representative of EPA
or the State of Delaware.
(3) If, under conditions (1) or
(2), the EP leachate
concentrations for chromium,
lead, arsenic, or silver exceed
0.77 mg/l; for barium exceeds
15.5 mg/l; for cadmium or
selenium exceed 0.16 mg/l; for
mercury exceeds 0.031 mg/l, or
for nickel or total cyanide
exceed 10.9 mg/l, the waste must
either be retreated or managed
and disposed of in accordance
with all applicable hazardous
waste regulations.
(4) Within one week of system
start-up, Occidental must notify
the Section Chief, Variances
Section (see address below) when
the full-scale system is on-line
and waste treatment has begun.
All data obtained through
condition (1) must be submitted
to the Section Chief, Variances
Section, PSPD/OSW, (OS-333), U.S.
EPA, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20460 within the
time period required in condition
(1). At the Section Chief's
request, Occidental must submit
any other analytical data
obtained through conditions (1)
and (2) to the above address
within the time period specified
by the Section Chief. Failure to
submit the required data will be
considered by the Agency
sufficient basis to revoke
Occidental's exclusion to the
extent directed by EPA. All data
(either submitted to EPA or
maintained at the site) must be
accompanied by the following
statement:
``Under civil and criminal penalty
of law for the making or
submission of false or fraudulent

1664, Rev. A), 9071B, and 9095B.
If EPA judges the incineration
process to be effective under the
operating conditions used during
the initial verification testing,
OxyVinyls may replace the testing
required in Condition (3)(A) with
the testing required in Condition
(3)(B). OxyVinyls must continue
to test as specified in Condition
(3)(A) until and unless notified
by EPA in writing that testing in
Condition (3)(A) may be replaced
by Condition (3)(B).
(A) Initial Verification Testing:
(i) When the Rockbox unit is
decommissioned for clean out,
after the final exclusion is
granted, Oxy Vinyls must collect
and analyze composites of the
Rockbox Residue. Two composites
must be composed of
representative grab samples
collected from the Rockbox unit.
The waste must be analyzed, prior
to disposal, for all of the
constituents listed in Condition
1. No later than 90 days after
the Rockbox unit is
decommissioned for clean out the
first two times after this
exclusion becomes final, Oxy
Vinyls must report the
operational and analytical test
data, including quality control
information.
(B) Subsequent Verification
Testing: Following written
notification by EPA, Oxy Vinyls
may substitute the testing
conditions in (3)(B) for

continue to monitor operating
conditions, analyze samples
representative of each cleanout
of the Rockbox of operation
during the first year of waste
generation.
(C) Termination of Organic Testing
for the Rockbox Residue: Oxy
Vinyls must continue testing as
required under Condition (3)(B)
for organic constituents
specified under Condition (3)(B)
for organic constituents
specified in Condition (1)(A)(ii)
until the analyses submitted
under Condition (3)(B) show a
minimum of two consecutive annual
samples below the delisting
levels in Condition (1)(A)(ii),
Oxy Vinyls may then request that
annual organic testing be
terminated. Following termination
of the quarterly testing, Oxy
Vinyls must continue to test a
representative composite sample
for all constituents listed in
Condition (1) on an annual basis
(no later than twelve months
after exclusion).
(4) Changes in Operating
Conditions: If Oxy Vinyls
significantly changes the process
which generate(s) the waste(s)
and which may or could affect the
composition or type waste(s)
generated as established under
Condition (1) (by illustration,
but not limitation, change in
equipment or operating conditions
of the treatment process), Oxy
Vinyls must notify the EPA in
writing and may no longer handle
the wastes generated from the new
process or no longer discharges
as nonhazardous until the wastes
meet the delisting levels set
Condition (1) and it has received
written approval to do so from
EPA.
(5) Data Submittals: The data
obtained through Condition 3 must
be submitted to Mr. William
Gallagher, Chief, Region 6

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
