Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BDAT) Background Document for OrganicToxicity Characteristic Wastes D018-D043 and Addendum to Nonwastewater Forms of Pesticide Toxicity Characteristic Wastes D012-D017

摘要

The Background Document provides the Agency's rationale and technical support fordeveloping BDAT treatment standards for both nonwastewater and wastewater forms of the 26 organic TC wastes (D018-D043). The BDAT treatment standards for wastewater forms of D018-D043 wastes discussed in the document are applicable to wastes managed in systems other than those regulated under the Clean Water Act (CWA), those regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) that inject TC wastewaters into Class I injection wells, and those zero discharge facilities that engage in CWA equivalent treatment prior to land disposal. The document also provides revisions to the nonwastewater BDAT treatment standard for D015 and treatment standards for newly identified D012-D017 wastes. Newly identified D012-D017 wastes are defined as those D012-D017 wastes identified as hazardous by the TCLP but not by the EP leaching procedure.
