Finally, the regulations implemented under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) require accurate characterization of
wastes such that development of a WCP for hazardous and toxic wastes is a responsible
management practice.
2. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
UT-Battelle waste types covered under this program are solid low-level waste (SLLW);
transuranic (TRU) waste (including TRU mixed waste); hazardous waste, including both RCRA
hazardous waste (40 CFR 261B268) and PCB waste (40 CFR 761); mixed waste and industrial
and sanitary wastes destined for landfill disposal. Both TRU wastes and SLLW wastes
containing PCB, asbestos, or other such regulated toxic components must be managed in
accordance with requirements derived from the TSCA and DOE Order 435.1 (including the
435.1 Manual), and are therefore included in the scope of this WCPP. Asbestos waste, and
asbestos mixed with both PCB and RCRA hazardous waste, are also included in the WCPP
scope. Requirements for management of these wastes have been incorporated into three UT-
Battelle implementing procedures (IP) and one (UT-Battelle) SBMS Subject Area. The IPs used
by this program are ORNL-WC-006 for SLLW, ORNL-WC-007 for TRU and TRU mixed
wastes, and ORNL-WC-005 for hazardous and mixed waste. Sanitary/Industrial waste are
addressed in the SBMS Environmental Management Subject Area: "Sanitary/Industrial Waste,
management of."
Hold-For-Decay wastes are included in the WCP and are managed in accordance with the
SBMS Environmental Management Subject Area: "Hold-for-Decay Requirements. ". NRA
determination requirements apply to hazardous and PCB wastes destined for commercial
treatment, storage, or disposal that are not licensed to handle radioactivity.
With respect to applicability of this program to the ORNL facilities located at the Y-12
site, the following general guidance applies:
o Sanitary/Industrial waste and waste packages are to be processed in accordance with
Y-12 contractor's requirements defined in Bechtel Jacob, LLC (BJC) IP, WM-A-2001,
"Generator Requirements for Transferring Waste", Rev. 1. This waste stream is handled
entirely by Y-12 staff.
o RCRA/TSCA wastes and non-regulated chemical wastes must be processed through the
UT-Battelle WCP.
o Wastes that contain any radioactive components (e.g., mixed, SLLW, etc.) must be
processed through the UT-Battelle WCP. [NOTE: This includes certification
documentation packages for containerized wastewater targeted for treatment/disposal at
any Y-12 wastewater treatment facility.]
