                      Subpart D_Treatment Standards
 
Sec. 268.48  Universal treatment standards.

    (a) Table UTS identifies the hazardous constituents, along with the 
nonwastewater and wastewater treatment standard levels, that are used to 
regulate most prohibited hazardous wastes with numerical limits. For 
determining compliance with treatment standards for underlying hazardous 
constituents as defined in Sec. 268.2(i), these treatment standards may 
not be exceeded. Compliance with these treatment standards is measured 
by an analysis of grab samples, unless otherwise noted in the following 
Table UTS.

                         FOOTNOTES TO TABLE UTS
1                   CAS means Chemical Abstract Services. When the waste
                     code and/or regulated constituents are described as
                     a combination of a chemical with it's salts and/or
                     esters, the CAS number is given for the parent
                     compound only.

2                   Concentration standards for wastewaters are
                     expressed in mg/l and are based on analysis of
                     composite samples.

3                   Except for Metals (EP or TCLP) and Cyanides (Total
                     and Amenable) the nonwastewater treatment standards
                     expressed as a concentration were established,
                     inpart, based upon incineration in units operated
                     in accordance with the technical requirements of 40
                     CFR part 264, subpart O or 40 CFR part 265, subpart
                     O, or based upon combustion in fuel substitution
                     units operating in accordance with applicable
                     technical requirements. A facility may comply with
                     these treatment standards according to provisions
                     in 40 CFR 268.40(d). All concentration standards
                     for nonwastewaters are based on analysis of grab
                     samples.

4                   Both Cyanides (Total) and Cyanides (Amenable) for
                     nonwastewaters are to be analyzed using Method 9010
                     or 9012, found in ``Test Methods for Evaluating
                     Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA
                     Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in
                     40 CFR 260.11, with a sample size of 10 grams and a
                     distillation time of one hour and 15 minutes.

5                   These constituents are not ``underlying hazardous
                     constituents'' in characteristic wastes, according
                     to the definition at Sec. 268.2(i).

6                   Between August 26, 1996, and March 4, 1998, these
                     constituents are not ``underlying hazardous
                     constituents'' as defined at Sec. 268.2(i) of
                     this Part.

7                   This constituent is not an underlying hazardous
                     constituent as defined at Sec. 268.2(i) of this
                     Part because its UTS level is greater than its TC
                     level, thus a treatment selenium waste would always
                     be characteristically hazardous, unless it is
                     treated to below its characteristic level.
8                   This standard is temporarily deferred for soil
                     exhibiting a hazardous characteristic due to D004-
                     D011 only.
