Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BDAT) Background Document for ChlorinatedToluene Wastes: K149, K150 and K151

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is establishing BestDemonstrated Available Technology (BDAT) treatment standards for the regulation of hazardous wastes listed in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 261.32 (40 CFR 261.32) was K149, K150, and K151. K149, K150, and K151 wastes are generated in the production of chlorinated toluenes. The background document provides the Agency's rationale and technical support for developing BDAT treatment standards for K149, K150, and K151 wastes under the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) program. The document also provides waste characterization data that may serve as a basis for determining whether a variance from the applicable treatment standards may be warranted for a particular type of chlorinated toluene waste that may be more difficult to treat than the wastes on which the BDAT treatment standards are based.
