Significance and Use |
4.1?Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (4.1.1?PFAS are emerging contaminants for which environmental regulations and guidance are dynamic and are being developed simultaneously at federal, state, local, and international levels as more is learned about their characteristics, environmental fate, and management/treatment. Therefore, site-specific rules, regulations, and guidance should be evaluated for options and restrictions on management of 4.1.2?Given the characteristics and persistence of 4.1.3?PFAS investigation-derived waste may also contain other nonhazardous or hazardous substances or materials that may impact the options and requirements for management. The associated substances should be considered for proper characterization of the investigation-derived waste and in selecting containerization, labeling, handling, transportation, and disposal options. 4.2?Field investigation activities result in the generation of waste materials that may include PFAS. Investigation-derived waste may include monitoring well development water, purge water, soil cuttings from boreholes, sediments, soil or fill from excavation activities, solutions from decontaminating sampling equipment, personal protective equipment, and other sampling wastes (for example, paper towels, plastic sheeting). 4.2.1?Soil cuttings, excess sample spoils, and excavated soil that are returned to the borehole/excavation may not be considered 4.2.1.1?The user must determine the disposal options for these materials in conjunction with the property owner, responsible party, and the regulatory agency. 4.3?The primary objectives for managing investigation-derived waste during field activities include: 4.3.1?Leaving the site in no worse condition than existed before field activities, 4.3.2?Removing wastes that pose an immediate threat to human health or the environment, 4.3.3?Segregating wastes above background or threshold concentrations, 4.3.4?Complying with federal, state, local, regulations, 4.3.5?Minimizing the quantity of investigation-derived waste, and 4.3.6?Properly containerizing, managing, and disposing of 4.4?Container Labeling:? 4.4.1?In accordance with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (3) or other applicable jurisdictional requirements, an investigation-derived waste container or Waste Awaiting Designation label shall be applied to each drum, intermediate bulk container, portable tank, or other container using indelible marking. Labeling or marking requirements for 4.4.1.1?Include the following information on labels and markings: project name, generation date, location of waste origin, container identification number, sample number (if applicable), and contents (that is, decontamination water). 4.4.1.2?Apply each label or marking to the upper one-third of the container at least twice, on opposite sides. 4.4.1.3?Position labels or markings on a smooth part of the container. The label must not be affixed across container bungs, seams, ridges, or dents. 4.4.1.4?Use weather-resistive material for labels and markings and permanent markers or paint pens capable of enduring the expected weather conditions. If markings are used, the color must be easily distinguishable from the container color. 4.4.1.5?Secure labels in a manner to ensure that they remain affixed to the container. 4.4.2?Labeling or marking requirements for containers of 4.5?Investigation-derived waste Container Movement Predetermine staging areas for investigation-derived waste containers in accordance with the sites Health and Safety Plan and Sampling and Analysis Plan. Determine the methods and personnel required to safely transport investigation-derived waste containers to the staging area before field mobilization. Handling and transport equipment will be consistent with the associated weight for both lifting and transporting. Transportation of investigation-derived waste that is considered to be DOT hazardous material offsite via a public roadway is prohibited unless the requirements of 49 CFR 172 or applicable national regulations are met. 4.6?Investigation-derived waste Container Storage 4.6.1 Stage containerized investigation-derived waste awaiting results of chemical analysis at a pre-determined location on the site. 4.6.2?Store containers such that the labels can be easily read. 4.6.3?Provide a secondary/spill container for liquid 4.6.4?The user must determine if federal, state, local, provincial, or tribal regulations impose additional requirements for the temporary storage of investigation-derived waste, including those pertaining to storage requirements and limitations for hazardous materials or hazardous wastes. These requirements may include periodic inspections of the containers and implementation of stormwater pollution prevention Best Management Practices (see 5.6). |
