Document Description
On February 9,1995, a broad list of new EPA Hazardous Waste Code was introduced in 40 CFR Part 60, Section 7849. These new codes were subsequently reduced to thirty-two EPA Hazardous Waste Codes on June 17, 1997 and included in 40 CFR Part 62, section 32977. Recently, LLNL decided that the thirty-two codes should be added to the EPA Form 8700-23 of the Part A Permit. Currently, if such waste Accumulation Area. By adding the EPA codes to the Part A, the LLNL Hazardous Waste Mangement team can receive and store such waste types in the permitted facilities rather than having to manage them directly offsite following storage of the waste in a Waste Accumulation Area. Changes made to the EPA Form are informational changes only. EPA's intent by listing these wastes was to subject them to regulation as hazardous wastes under subtitle C of RCRA and the notification requirements of section 103 under CERCLA. This results in these wastes being more strictly regulated and under higher scrutiny by regulatory agencies. In addition, California Code of Regulations, title 22, section 66270.42 (g) would have allowed incorporation of the newly regulated wastes into existing facilities through the permit modification process as a Class 1 modification if the request had been submitted prior to the effective date of the final rule.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Reasons for Exemption
This modification does not require the implementation of any new management practices. It also does not result in an increase in the permitted storage capacity. The wastes are currently being generated infrequently and in small quantities. Managing these additional wastes in the permitted facility does not present any hazardous condition or situation which has not already been addressed by LLNL in it's storage facility Operations Plan.
