Bulk classification of hazardous waste for transport & disposal in AB

Question 1

Manifest forms need

Answer 1

1. shipping name – AUGWM column 1
2. classification – Column 3
3. packing group – column 7
4. PIN or NA or UN – column 2

Question 2

Bulk classification: single chemical that meets criteria for class 2-6 or 8

Answer 2

Process:
1. look up waste (table 3,4a,4b)

generic name: waste __________

ex. waste barium bromide

Question 3

Bulk classification: diluted waste-single chemical that no longer meets the criteria for 2-6 or 8

Answer 3

Process:
1. check to see if the undiluted chemical is on 3,4a,4b

Generic name: Leachable waste [(solid, liquid, soil, or sludge) containing __________]

ex. leachable waste (liquid containing n-amylene)

Question 4

Bulk classificaton: Waste mixture where all chemicals are in the same class and meet the criteria for 2-6, or 8

Answer 4

Process:

1. determine the class of all chemicals
2. determine the state
3. determine the packing group

Generic name: Waste, primary class, state, NOS* ( chemical in highest [ ] name and amount)

ex. Waste poisonous solid NOS* (120 kg arsenic bromide)

Question 5

Bulk classification: Waste mixture where chemicals are in different classes and meet the criteria for 2-6, or 8

Answer 5

process:

1. determine the class, pg + state of all chems
2. use the table of precedence to determine the 1st and 2nd classes

Generic name: Waste, primary class, state (secondary class) NOS* ( chemical in highest [ ] name and amount)

ex. Waste oxidizer liquid (corrosive) NOS* (300 L Bromine)

Question 6

Bulk classification: Diluted waste mixture NO longer meeting criteria for 2-6, 8

Answer 6

Process:
1. check to make sure one of the wastes is HW

Generic name: Leachable waste (state of waste, containing (list the chemicals which render the waste hazardous)

ex. Leachable waste (liquid containing hexanol and furfurylamine)

Question 7

Bulk classification: PCB contaminated waste [ ] > 50mg/l

Answer 7

Generic name: waste (substance) contaminated with PCB’s

Question 8

Bulk classification: Waste mixtures in which criteria for 2-6, 8 do not apply but TCLP tests have revealed chems in tab 1 schedule 1

Answer 8

Process:

1. Find the chemicals in Table 1 of AUGWM
2. if present, see if they exceed the reg of 100 mg/L

Generic name: Leachable waste (state of waste, containing (list the chemicals which render the waste hazardous)

eg. leachable waste (liquid containing allyl alcohol)

Question 9

Bulk classification: Waste mixtures in which criteria for 2-6, 8 do not apply but TCLP tests have revealed chems in tab 2

Answer 9

Process:

1. find the chemical in T # 2 of AUGWM
2. if present, see if they exceed regs
3. calculate the ratio for any chems that exceed their specified regs

Generic name: Leachable waste (state of waste, containing (list the chemicals which render the waste hazardous)

ex. leachable waste (sludge containing phorate, ammonia)

Question 10

Bulk classification: Waste mixtures in which criteria for 2-6, 8 do not apply but TCLP tests have revealed chems in tab 1 AND 2

Answer 10

Process:

1. find the chemical in T # 2 of AUGWM
2. if present, see if they exceed regs
3. calculate the ratio for any chems that exceed their specified regs

Generic name: Leachable waste (state of waste, containing (list the chemicals which render the waste hazardous)

ex. leachable waste (solid containing dicamba, phosphorous and zirconium)
