PMY <br /> must be dumped in a very controlled manner as to not create erosion, land damage, or enter drainages, storm <br /> drains, creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, or other water bodies. <br /> 4.4 Follow-Up <br /> The project manager will be responsible for the following activities: <br /> a) Upon receipt of analytical results, disposal options should be considered. Disposal options include: <br /> i) If contaminants are not detected in the water, and the site is suitable, the water can be released <br /> to paved areas of the site. <br /> ii) Off-site disposal, according to all applicable regulations. <br /> b) Recommendations and costs for purge water disposal should be included in the proposal and report. <br /> c) Prior to submittal of the final invoice for the task,the project manager should call the client to discuss <br /> final disposition of the materials. This information should be included in the project file. <br /> 5.0 Disposal Options <br /> Upon received analytical data for the waste, the waste should be classified and non-hazardous or hazardous <br /> waste. This will determine the disposal options for the waste. The following are the analysis typically required <br /> by the disposal facility to accept or decline the material: <br /> 5.1 Determining Waste Characteristics <br /> a) Ignitability by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method I020B <br /> a. Ignitable waste can create fires under certain conditions, are spontaneously combustible, or <br /> have a flash point less than 60 degrees Celsius. <br /> b) Corrosivity by EPA method 9046D <br /> a. Corrosive wastes are acids or bases (pH less than or equal to 2, or greater than or equal to <br /> 12.5) and/or are capable of corroding metals containers, such as tanks, drums, and barrels. <br /> c) Reactivity based on characteristics <br /> a. Reactive wastes are unstable under"normal' conditions. They can cause explosions, undergo <br /> violent reactions, generate toxic fumes, gases, or vapors or explosive mixtures when heated, <br /> compressed, or mixed with water. <br /> b. There is not an analytical method for determining if waste is classified as reactive hazardous <br /> waste. There are characteristics to determine if the waste is reactive which are the following: <br /> i. Unstable and readily undergoes violent change without detonating <br /> ii. Reacts violently with water <br /> iii. Forms potentially explosive mixtures with water <br /> iv. When mixed with water, it generated toxic gases, vapors or fumes in a quantity <br /> sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environment. <br /> v. Cyanide or sulfide bearing waste <br /> vi. Under heated environment it is subjected to detonation or explosive reaction <br /> vii. Decomposition and/or reaction at a standard temperature and pressure is subjected <br /> to detonation or explosive reaction <br /> viii. It is classified as a forbidden explosive as defined in 49 CFR 173.54 <br /> d) Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) by EPA method 1311 <br /> a. TCLP helps identify wastes likely to leach concentrations of contaminants that maybe harmful <br /> to human health or the environment. Based on initial analytical results,the TCLP method may <br /> be required for analytes that have elevated concentrations. The following are the methods <br /> for specific compounds that exceed the threshold limit for TCLP: <br /> IDW and Waste Materials Handling <br /> December 23, 2022 <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
