Executive Summary
Since 1981. the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) has conducted an annual hazardous waste survey of its member companies to characterize die waste generation and management practices of the chemical industry. Only plants with primary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 2800 are asked to participate in the survey; This report is a summary of the results of the 1988 survey and includes a comparison with previous years' surveys.
Number of Participants
Five hundred and eighty-two (S82) plants responded. Only 66 of these plants were first-time respondents.
Seventy-seven (77) companies responded, representing about 40 percent of CMA's member companies. This year, thirty-five (35) of these 77 companies were in the top 50 chemical companies in sales for 1988 {Chemical and Engineering News, June 19, 1989).

Generation and Management Overview
`Source: Chemical and Engineering News, June 19.19S9
This survey divided hazardous waste into two categories, solid waste and wastewater. This was done because the volume of wastes that are mostly water, are much larger the other type of wastes that are more typically thought of as solid and mask any trends in these latter wastes.
The survey divides wastes into two categorise--
solid waste end wastewater
The survey defined wastewaters as NPDES treated wastes, those discharged to a Publicly-Owned Treatment Works (POTW), wastewaters that are disposed by underground injection, and any other aqueous waste. This definition was solely for the purpose of categorizing responses to the survey -- it does not represent a regulatory distinction.

Domestic Sewage Exclusion (DSE)
Twenty (20) plants reported discharging 11.3 million tons of wastewater to a POTW under the DSE. Survey respondents were asked to report those wastes that they did not include in their hazardous waste quantities because of the DSE. These DSE wastewaters were not reported in this survey as hazardous wastes and are not included in any of the hazardous waste quantities.
Trend Analyses
Trend analyses in this report are based on two periods, 1981-1988 and 1985-1988. The latter period was chosen because 1985 marked the year many recycled wastes became pan of the survey database. Plants were used in trend analyses only if they had responded every year during a trend period. There were 190 plants for the 1981-1988 trend analysis and 339 plants for the 1985 trend analysis. To emphasize the impact of recycled wastes during the 1985-1988 period, both the 1981-1988 and 1985-1988 trend groups were analyzed first with recycled wastes included and then without recycled wastes.

CMA HmzmMous Waste Survey page E-5
Executive Summary
The trend analyses often show sharp changes in hazardous waste generation and management because of the actions of a few plants with large wastes. These changes are highlighted because otherwise they tend to mask more subtle trends. To highlight the most recent changes, a comparison of the current survey year with the previous survey year (1987-1988) is included in this report. This comparison is based on 471 plants that responded to the survey in 1987 and 1988.
In the following sections, the comparison of plants that responded to both the 1987 and 1988 surveys is presented first Next the comparison of 1985-1988 trend plants is presented, and finally the 1981-1988 trend plants.
1987-1968 Comparison
Total hazardous waste generation increased from 1987 to 1988 by 9.7 percent (19.0 million tons). In general, changes that occurred between 1987 and 1988 in a particular category happened because of the actions of a few plants with-very large wastes relative to the others m that tame category. The reasons for these changes are given below.
Recycling appeared to decrease by 10.6 percent because a variance from the soKAwaste definition was granted for one waste. Waste quantities treated in NPDES facilities increased.12J. percent The largest pan of this increase was from a plant that aggregated hazardous andjxmiazarious wastewater for common treatment Wastewater treatment by means other than in NPDES facilities or by discharge to a POTW decreased by 58.0 percent Most of this decrease came from two plants. Underground injection increased 8.0 percent. Most of this increase was from reclassification of one waste. Landfill disposal increased by 50.8 percent This increase is from cleanup wastes, primarily from impoundment closures and cleanouts.
1985-1988 Wastewater Trends
The trends in wastewater quantities for the 1985-1988 trend yean are shown in the figure on the facing page. The lower half of the figure, which presents wastewater quantities managed by different practices as a percentage of the total wastewater treated and disposed, is useful in showing any trends in wastewater management practices over the trend years.
Usage of NPDES facilities, POTWs, and other wastewater treatment methods has changed little from 1985 to 1988. Quantities treated in NTOES facilities were 85.4 percent in 1985 and 86.8 percent in 1988. Quantities discharged to POTWs were 6.7 percent in 1985 and 5.9 percent in 1988. Quantities treated by means other than in NPDES facilities or discharged to POTWs were 0.6 percent in 1985 and 0.2 percent in 1988. Usage of underground injection has changed little from 1985 to 1988. Quantities injected undeiground were 7.3 percent in 1985 and 7.0 percent in 1988.

Executive Summary
1985--1980 Solid Waste Trends
The trends in solid waste quantities for the 1985-1988 trend years are shown in the figure on the facing page. The lower half of the figure, which presents solid waste quantities managed by different practices as a percentage of the total solid waste treated and disposed, is useful in showing any trends in solid waste management practices over the trend years. The percentages exclude waste quantities that obscure trends. The excluded quantities are the impoundment cleanup waste in 1987 and recycled wastes in 1985-1988.
Incineration has increased from 26.6 percent in 1985 to 43.3 percent in 1988 primarily because there were increases from a few large wastes. Without these wastes, the percentage incinerated for 1985 through 1988, respectively was: 18.2, 34.1,24.2, and 24.0 percent. Solid waste treatment decreased from 22.4 percent in 1985 to 9.4 percent in 1988. Most of the decrease that occurred in 1986 was when a plant changed treatment chemicals to render a waste nonhazardous. Landfill disposal was essentially the same from 1985 (2Z2 percent) through 1987 (22.9 percent). In 1988, cleanup wastes increased landfilled wastes to 29.5 percent Disposal by means other than underground injection and landfill decreased from 28.8 percent in 1985 to 17.8 percent in 1988.

The trends in wastewater quantities for the 1981-1988 trend years are shown in the figure on the facing page. The lower half of the figure, which presents wastewater quantities managed by different practices as a percentage of the total wastewater treated and disposed, is useful in showing any trends in wastewater management practices over the trend years.
Quantities treated in NPDES facilities were 81.6 percent in 1981 and 90.1 percent in 1988. Quantities discharged to POTWs were 9.9 percent in 1981 and 3.6 percent in 1988. The quantity discharged to POTWs decreased in 1985, primarily because one plant had a wastewater reclassified as nonhazardous in that year. This decrease in discharge to POTWs caused the percentage of waste (but not the quantity) treated in NPDES facilities to increase in 1985. Since these changes in 1985, the percentage usage of NPDES facilities has increased slightly and discharge to POTWs has decreased correspondingly. Quantities treated by means other than in NPDES facilities or discharged to POTWs were 3.3 percent in 1981. Since 1983, usage of treatment methods other than NPDES and POTWs has remained relatively the same.

Executive Summary
1981-1968 Solid Waste Trends
The trends in solid waste quantities for the 1981-1988 trend years are shown in the figure on the facing page. The lower half of the figure, which presents solid waste quantities managed by different practices as a percentage of the total solid waste treated and disposed, is useful in showing any trends in solid waste management practices over the trend years. The percentages exclude waste quantities that obscure trends. The excluded quantities are the impoundment cleanup waste in 1987 and recycled wastes in 1985-1988.
Incineration was essentially the same level for 1981 and 1982. Since 1982, there has been a steady increase in incineration. Most of the increases in 1986-1988 have been from a few plants with large wastes. Other solid waste treatment decreased from 14.0 percent in 1981 to 5.8 percent in 1988. Landfill disposal has fluctuated between 13.0-29.7 percent from 1981 to 1988. The recent increase in 1988 was the result of cleanup wastes. Disposal by means other than underground injection and landfill decreased from 58.4 percent in 1981 to 19.7 percent in 1988 with the largest decrease occurring between 1982 and 1983. Although the group of trend plants is different for the periods 1981-1988 and 1985-1988, both groups show the same trends in hazardous solid waste daring 1985 through 1988.

Executive Summary
Relationship of Waste Generation to Manufacturing Production Since the 1986 survey, CMA has collected manufacturing production data from the survey respondents in an effort to normalize hazardous waste trends and to judge progress in waste minimization. As yet, the use of production data has not proved satisfactory for several reasons. The primary reasons appear to be the inherent variability between waste generation and manufacturing production and the relatively small number of plants on which to base trends. On this latter point, the number of plants is small because the evaluation must be on a common basis -- on those plants that have provided data on generation and production for all years of the survey. CMA intends to continue to collect data, however, including production, to broaden the database so that it can be used to give perspective to hazardous waste generation -- particularly in waste minimization and overall trends for the chemical industry.

Introduction
Since 1981, the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) has conducted an annual hazardous waste survey of its member companies to characterize the waste generation and management practices of the chemical industry with primary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 2800. Trends in waste generation and management practices are very important, as they reflect the industry's response to environment concerns related to hazardous waste management
CMA has
conducted this survey since 1981.
The CMA hazardous waste survey has always included a core set of questions in three areas: generation, treatment and disposal. Since 1985, with the revised solid waste definition at 40 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) 261.2, recycle has been included in the core. Besides these areafc~ CMA has continually used the survey as a means of collecting data for proposed or anticipated^ hazardous waste regulation.
The 1988 survey covered these areas: hazardous waste generation and management; the Organic Toxicity Characteristic (OTC); corrective action; and nonhazardons waste generation and management and surface impoundment inventory. A copy of the 1988 survey form is in Appendix C.
Much of the data presentation is in tables and figures, consistent with the earlier CMA survey reports which generally follows the format of the survey form. First, a general description of the companies and their plants that participated in the survey is given. Then follows generation and management practices and finally, trend analyses based on the CMA surveys since 1981.
Because many reported values are estimated waste quantities, the values in this report should be interpreted as having only three significantfigures. Most of the waste quantities in this report were not rounded to three significant digits to avoid round-off errors in the sums presented in the tables.
In the trend analyses shown in this report waste generation and waste management do not balance in the 1981-1984 period. This occurred as a result of waste in storage at the beginning or end of a survey year and math errors. Since 1984, survey responses have been checked for imbalances and followup calls are made to the survey respondents.

Survey Response ____________________________________
Number of Participants
Participation in the 1988 survey is summarized in Figure 1 and Table 1. Table 1 abo gives a summary of survey participation since 1981.
Plants
Five hundred and eighty-two (582) plants responded to the 1988 survey. Only 66 of these plants were first-tune respondents, not having participated in the survey before.
Companies
* Seventy.-ven (77) companies responded to the 1988 survey, representing about 40 percent of CMA's member companies. Participation in the survey by major chemical companies bn always been high and as suck, provides a realistic view of hazardous waste generation aad management practices in ftu industry. This year, for rrimgh, thirty-five (35) of these 77 companies were in the top 50 chemical companies in sales fcr 1988 (Chemical and Engineering News, June 19,1989).

Generation and Management
This section begins with an overview of generation and management from the 1988 survey. Following the overview are mote detailed descriptions of the management practices for hazardous wastewater and hazardous solid waste.
The 1988 survey divided hazardous waste into two
categories, solid waste and wastewater, even though every hazardous waste under RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) hazardous waste
The survey divides wastes Into two categories--
solid waste and wastewater
regulations is first defined as a solid waste. This
was done because the volume of wastes that are
mostly water, are much larger the ocher type of wastes that are more typically thought of as solid
(including sludges and nonaqueous liquids) and mask any trends in these latter wastes. The survey
respondents were asked to put their hazardous waste into these two categories.
Because many solid wastes contain water, there
has been confusion for some respondents about the
category to which a particular waste should be assigned. To avoid confusion, the 1988 questionnaire defined wastewaters as wastes that are treated by an NPDES permitted treatment plant, discharged to a Publicly-Owned Treatment Works (POTW), wastewaters that are disposed by
Wastewater la defined here aa wastes treated by an NPDES plant or sent to a POTW, underground
injected wastewaten, and other aqueous wastes.
underground injection, and any other aqueous
waste the respondent would view as a wastewater.
This definition was solely for the purpose of categorizing responses to the survey -- it
does not represent a regulatory distinction. In the case of POTWs, even though they must
also have NPDES permits, they are called out separately as a management practice.
Satidawute, defined here as all other hazardous wastes not fitting the survey definition of wtewater, is not intended to be consistent with EPA's RCRA definition of solid waste. wT-arrinns solid waste by the survey definition, is referred to in the report tables as solid (non wastewater) waste. Hazardous solid waste plus hazardous wastewater (both as defined here) equals die sum total of waste defined as hazardous under RCRA and those added in state regulations (state only).
Since the 1985 survey, respondentshave been allowed to separate underground injection disposal into either solid waste or wastewater categories, frior to 1985, both solid waste and wastewater could be reported as underground injected, but only as a lumped quantity. The quantity of solid waste reported as underground injected, however, has typically been a very small percentage of die total quantity of solid waste generated and has little impact on the comparisons between surveys.

Generation end Management
Prior Co 1985, recycled wastes were not defined as RCRA solid wastes and therefore were not in the pre-1985 surveys as hazardous wastes. These recycled wastes added significantly to the total hazardous solid waste generation during 1986-1988 where large quantities of recycled wastes were reported by only a few plants. The recycled wastes have caused large fluctuations in the trends of hazardous solid waste since 1985. In many cases, these wastes had been generated prior to 1985. Their abrupt appearance in 1985 or later, (later-- in the case ofa state adopting the revised definition after 1985), following the broadening of the solid waste definition, causes an apparent increase in the generation of hazardous solid waste. To add to the erratic nature of this category, plants may receive variances for these wastes under 40 CFR 260.30, and the recycled wastes drop out of the generation quantities in subsequent years when this happens. These situations are noted in this report where they affect the interpretation of the data.

Overview
A general overview of the 1988 survey data is presented here in Figure 2 and Table 3. The detail
of the data in
section of Table 3 is discussed in later tables of the report
Total Generation
The 582 survey respondents reported generation of 219.9 million tons of hazardous waste in 1988. As shown in Figure 2, this total consists of:
213.2 million tons hazardous wastewater, and 6.7 million tons hazardous solid waste.
Zero or Less Than 0.5-Ton Generators
Of the 582 plants reporting, there were 86 plants (15 percent) that either did not generate any hazardous waste or generated less than 0.5 tons (see Appendix Bfor listing by SIC).

Data Dfatrlbutions
Data distributions are used here to show characteristics of waste generation in the chemical industry. From these distributions, one can see just how varied waste generation is within the chemical industry. They are also useful in showing what waste generation might be for an individual plant and what is typical for the majority of chemical plants in this survey.
The variation in generation among the survey plants is extremely high. What the distributions show is that there are many plants generating little or no hazardous waste and a few plants generating very large quantities of waste. This type of data is therefore skewed towards the low generation rates.
The survey data show that there are many plants
generating little hazardous waste and only a few plants
generating very large amounts of waste.
A population of data with these characteristics is said to be skewed from the normal distribution. Conventional statistical measures such as die mean (or average) and standard deviation cannot be used with a skewed population distribution because they are misleading measures of central tendency and variability. The more appropriate statistic is the median, the value at which half of the plants generate more waste, and the other half of die plants generate less. As such, the mean waste generation rates are given in the text for information only.

Figures 3 through 6 present the data distributions (as cumulative probability) of the hazardous generation of the 1988 survey plants. Figures 3 and 5 include all 582 plants reporting in 1988. Figures 4 and 6 include only those plants that generated greater than 0.5 tons of hazardous waste in 1988. The curves illustrate the skewed nature of the population of waste generation rates. The characteristics of the data distributions are consistent with the previous CMA hazardous waste surveys.

Domeatfe Sewage Exclusion
The DSE excludes materials as solid wastes after they are mixed with domestic sewage (40 CFR
261.4(aXl)(u)) and treated at a POTW. Because a material must be defined as a solid waste before
the determination is made that the material is a hazardous waste, the DSE effectively defines a material as nonhazardous at the same time that it excludes it from being defined as a solid waste. Survey respondents were asked to report those wastes that they did not include in their hazardous waste quantities because of the DSE. Such materials were not reported in this survey as hazardous wastes and are not included in any of die hazardous waste data shown in other tables of this report The data reported by plants in the 1988 survey were gathered in an attempt to gain insight into DSE practices.
Twenty (20) plants of the 582 survey respondents reported discharging wastewaters to a POTW under the DSE. The total DSE wastewater reported by these plants was 11.3 million tons per year. As shown in Figure 7, twelve plants (12) reported discharging 1.7 million tons of wastewater that would have been hazardous by characteristic if not exempt under the DSE (IS percent of the total DSE wastewaters).

Overview
Table 4 is an overview of the hazardous wastewater generation and management practices of the 1988 survey plants, showing waste quantities and number ofplants in each category. In addition, the waste quantity in each category is shown as a percentage of hazardous wastewater generated by the survey plants.
Generation
213.2 million tons of hazardous wastewater were generated Of this total, only a very
small percentage remained in storage (0.04 peicent) awaiting treatment or disposal at the
end of 1988.
99.2 percent of the hazardous wastewater was RCRA-defined hazardous waste. The
remaining 0.8 percent was state-defined hazardous waste.
30.0 percent of the hazardous wastewater was hazardous by characteristic. The remaining
70.0 percent was hazardous by listing. Listed wastewaters contain nonhazardous wastes
that were mixed with listed wastewaters (mixtures) and wastewaters derivedfrom listed
wastes.
0.3 percent was generated by site cleanup activities from RCRA, CERCLA, or other
remedial actions.

Treatment
Table 5 is a summary of the hazardous wastewater treatment practices of the 1988 survey plants, showing waste quantities and number of plants in each treatment category. These categories am further divided into those that are company-owned by the survey plants and commercial facilities. Waste quantities are also shown as a percentage of hazardous wastewater treated by the survey plants.
As shown in Table 5,90.4 percent of the hazardous wastewater generated by the survey plants was treated (192.6 million of 213.2 million tons). Treatment practices included: NPDES permitted facilities: discharge to a POTW; and chemical, physical, biological, incineration, and combinations of the same. 86 percent of the wastewater discharged to POTWs was treated prior to discharge to the POTWs.
Of the total hazardous wastewater treated, 98.7 percent was treated in company-owned facilities (91.8 percent NPDES facilities, 6.2 percent POTW, and 0.7 percent other methods). Commercial facilities treated the remaining 1.3 percent (0.1 percent NPDES facilities, LZpwcentPOTW, and 0.04 percent other methods).

Material Reelaimed/Reused/Recovered
Table 8 is a summary of the hazardous solid waste material reclamation/reuse/recovery practices of the 1988 survey plants. These wastes do not include hazardous solid waste that was burned for energy recovery (see Table 9). Table 8 shows waste quantities and number of plants for facilities that are company-owned by the survey plants and commercial facilities. Waste quantities for company-owned and commercial facilities are also shown as percentages of material reclamation/reuse/recovery.
Of the material reclaimed/ieused/recoveredL 98.0 percent was recycled at company-owned facilities. The remaining 2.0 percent was recycled at commercial facilities. The majority of recycled waste was recycled in company-owned facilities. On average, the larger volume wastes were recycled in company-owned facilities. The frequency of plants using commercial facilities was more than 4 times that of company-owned facilities.
More than 95 percent of the material reclaimcd/rcused/recovered was generated by oneplant If the largest single waste is excluded from these recycled wastes, the reduced total is 0.171 million tons. On this reduced basis, 512 percent was recycled in company-owned facilities while 48.8 percent was recycled in commercial facilities.

Waste quantities for company-owned and commercial facilities are also shown as percentages of hazardous solid waste burned for energy recovery.
As shown in Table 9,11.4 percent of the hazardous solid generated by the survey plants was burned for energy recovery (0.759 million of 6.67 million tons). Of the waste burned for energy recovery, 81.1 percent was burned in boilers, 11.7 percent in industrial furnaces, while the remaining 7.2 was burned in units not specified by the survey plants.
Of the waste burned for energy recovery, 89.8 percent was recycled at company-owned facilities. The remaining 10.2 percent was recycled at commercial facilities.

Hazardous Solid Waste (Non-Wastewater)
Treatment
Table 10 is a summary of the hazardous solid waste treatment practices of the 1988 survey plants, showing waste quantities and number ofplants in each treatment categoiy. These categories are further divided into those that are company-owned by the survey plants and commercial feilities. Waste quantities are also shown as a percentage of hazardous solid waste treated by die survey plants.
As shown in Table 10,12.6 percent of (he hazardous solid waste generated by the survey plants was treated (0.843 million of 6.67 million tons). Treatment practices included: incineration,
physical, biological, thermal other than incineration, solidification, and combinations of these methods. Of the total hazardous solid waste treated, 89.3 percent was treated in companyowned facilities (72J percent incineration and 16.8 percent other treatment methods). Commercial feilities treated the remaining 10.7 percent (82 percent incineration and 2.5 percent other treatment methods).

Disposal
Table 11 is a summary of the hazardous solid waste disposal practices of the 1988 survey plants, showing waste quantities and number ofplants in each treatment category. These categories are further divided into those that are company-owned by the survey plants and commercial facilities. Waste quantities are also shown as a percentage of hazardous solid waste disposed by the survey plants.
As shown in Table 11,11.6 percent of the hazardous solid waste generated by the survey plants
was disposed (0.771 million of 6.67 million tons). Disposal practices included: landfill, surface
impoundment, waste pile, underground injection, and other methods (physical, biological,
detonation, ocean disposal, and combinations of these methods). Of the total hazardous solid waste
disposed, 64.0 percent was treated in company-owned facilities (33.4 percent landfill, 24.1 percent
surface impoundment, 5.3 percent waste pile, 12 percent underground injection, and less than 0.1
percent other methods). Commercial facilities treated the remaining 36.0 percent (2SL3 percent
landfill, less than 0.1 percent surface impoundment, 4.3 percent underground injrrfrw. and 6.4
percent other methods).

Trend Analyse*
Trend analyses in this report are based on two periods 1981-1988 and 1985-1988. The latter period was chosen became 1985 marked the year many recycled wastes became pert ofthe survey database. Plants were used in trend analyses only if they had responded every year during a trend period. There were 190 plants for the 1981-1988 trend analysts and 339 plants for the 1985 trend analysis. To emphasize the impact of recycled wastes during the 1985-1988 period, both the 1981-1988 and 1985-1988 trend groups were analyzed first with recycled wastes included and then without recycled wastes.
The trend analyses often show sharp changes in hazardous waste generation and management because of the actions of a few plants with large wastes. These changes are highlighted because otherwise they tend to mask more subtle trends. For example, when EPA changed die definition of a solid waste in 1983, there was a large increase in hazardous waste reported as recycled. Other reasons can be changes in plant operations or differences in regulatory interpretation. These sorts of changes for the 1981*1987 period have been noted in previous survey reports. To highlight the most recent changes, a comparison of the current survey year with the previous survey year (1987-1988) is included in this report
Since the 1986 survey, CMA has collected manufacturing production data from the survey respondents in an effort to normalize hazardous waste trends and to judge progress in waste minimization. As yet the use of production dau has not proved satisfactory for several reasons. The primary reasons appear to be the inherent variability between waste generation and manufacturing production and the relatively small number of plants on which to base trends. On this latter point the humber of plants is small because the evaluation must be cm a common basis -- on those plants that have provided data on generation and production for all years of the survey. CMA intends to continue to collect data, however, including production, to broaden the database so that it can be used to give perspective to hazardous waste generation--particularly in waste minimization and'overall trends far the chemical industry.
In the following sections, the comparison of plants teat responded to both the 1987 and 1988 surveys is presented first Next the comparison of 1985-1988 trend plants is presented, and finally the 1981-1988 trend plants.

1987-1988 Comparison
Table 12 is a comparison of plane that responded to both the 1987 and 1988 surveys (471 plane). Ie purpose is to highlight changes that have occurred since the 1987 survey, in particular, any unusual events that have affected waste categories. Categories for comparison are: generation, recycling, treatment and disposal. Storage at the end of the year is presented merely to provide balance in the numbers.
Generation
Total hazardous waste generation increased from 1987 to 1988 by 9.7 percent (19.0 million tons).
Wastewater increased 10.3 percent (19.4 millioQ tons). Solid waste decreased 3.7 percent (0.4 million tons). These changes occurred because of the actions of a few plants with very large wastes
relative to the others in a particular category. The reasons for these changes are given in the following sections.
Recycling
Recycling appeared to decrease by 10.6 percent because a variance from the solid waste definition was granted far ooe waste.
Treatment
Waste quantities treated m NPDES facilities increased 12.1 percent. The largest part of this increase was from a plant that aggregated hazardous and nonhazardous wastewater for common treatment
Discharge to a POTW increased marginally by 33 percent Wastewater treatment by means other than in NPDES facilities or by discharge to a
POTW decreased by 58.0 percent Most of this decrease came from two plants. Itineration increased 11.5 percent Solid waste treatment by means other than incineration was essentially unchanged (1.8
percent decrease).
Disposal
Underground injection increased 8.0 percent Most of this increase was from reclassification of one waste.
Landfill disposal increased by 50.8 percent This increase is from cleanup wastes, primarily from impoundment closures and cleanouts. There were 278 plants common to 1987 and 1988 that landfilled hazardous waste. Of these 278 plants, the large cleanup wastes responsible for the landfill increase were generated by only 9 plants (3 percent of the 278 plants). For die rest of the 269 plants, landfilled wastes decreased by 12 percent
from 1987 to 1988.
Disposal by means other than underground injection and landfill decreased by 6.0 percent. This comparison excludes the 200,000 tons of cleanup waste from an impoundment in 1987.

1985--1988 Trends
Trends are discussed In this section mostly in the context of overall trends from 1985 to 1988 based on 339 plaits responding every year during this period. Where abrupt changes occur, these are also discussed to the extent that the reason is known or there is a plausible explanation These changes occurred because of the actions of a few plants wife very large wastes relative to the others in a particular category. Table 13 shows the 1985-1988 trends with recycled wastes; Table 14 shows these trends without recycled wastes.
Generation (The solid waste generation excludes 200,000 tons of cleanup waste from an
impoundment in 1987.) Wastewater generation increased 11.9 percent from 1985 to 1988. When recycled wastes are included (see Table 13), hazardous solid waste generation appeared to increase 230 percent from 1985 to 1988. When recycled wastes are NOT included in the trend analyses (see Table 14) hazardous solid waste generation increased 14.7 percent from 1985 to 1988*>
Recycll ng (see Table 13)
Recycled waste increased by a factor of nine from 1985 to1988 wheircwo plants added recycled wastes after their states adopted the 1985 HPA revised definition of solid waste in 1986. After 1986, recycled waste decreaied because a variance from fen ulii.1 waste definition was granted to one pint
Treatment
The quantity of wastes treated in NPDES facilities increased 13.7 percent from 1985 to 1988. Tire fluctuation in these wastes over this period was primarily the result of changes in the classification and management practices far one waste.
Discharge to aPOTW remained essentially the same from 1985 through 1988. Wastewater treatment by means ocher than in NPDES facilities or by discharge to a
POTW remained essentially fee same from 1985 through 1987. The decrease in 1988 was primarily from two plants. Incineration increased 93.1 percent from 1985 to 1988. The increases since 1985 have been primarily in wastes from a few plants. Solid waste treatment by means other than incineration decreased an overall 50.0 percent from 1985 to 1988. Most of the decrease that occurred in 1986 was when a plant changed treatment chemicals to render a waste nonhazardous.
Disposal
Underground Injection increased 8.1 percent from 1985 through 1988. Most of fee increase feast 1987 to 1988 was from the reclassification of one waste.
^ Landfill disposal was essentially unchanged from 1985 to 1987. A large increase from cleanup wastes occurred in 1988.
Disposal by means other than underground injection and landfill decreased 25.8 percent from 1985 to 1988. This comparison excludes the 200,000 tons of cleanup waste from an impoundment in 1987.

Hazardous Solid Waste (1985-1966)
Hie trend* in waste quantities for the 1985-1988 trend yean are shown in the top.half ofFigure 14 and ham been discussed in the previous section on Table 14 which excluded recycled wastes. The lower half of the figure, which presents solid waste quantities managed by different practices as a percentage of the total solid waste treated and disposed, is useful in showing any trends in solid waste management practices over the trend years. The percentages exclude waste quantities that obscure trends. The excluded quantities are the impoundment cleanup waste in 1987 and recycled wastes in 1985-1988.
Treatment
As a
of total solid waste treated and disposed for a given year (excluding an
impoundment cleanup waste in 1987and recycled wastes in 1985-1988):
Incineration has increased from 26.6 percent in 1985 to 43.3 percent in 1988 primarily
because there were increases from a few large wastes. Without these wastes, the
percentages incinerated for 1985 through 1988, respectively were: 1&234.1,24.2, and
24.0 percent.
Solid waste treatment deerrltd from 22.4 percent in 1985 to 9.4 percent ialJM. Most
of die decrease that occurred in 1986 was when a plant changed treatment chemicals to
render a waste noohazardous.
Disposal
As a percentage of total solid waste treated and disposed for a given year (excluding an impoundment cleanup waste in 1987 and recycled wastes in 1985-1988):
Landfill disposal was essentially the same from 1985 (222 percent) through 1987 (22.9 percent). In 1988, cleanup wastes increased landfilled wastes to 29.5 percent.
Disposal by means other than underground injection and landfill decreased from 28.8 percent in 1985 to 17.8 percent in 1988. This comparison excludes the 200,000 tons of cleanup waste from an impoundment in 1987.

Trend Analyse*
1981--1988" Trends
Trends are discussed in this section mostly in the context of overall trends from 1981 to 1988 based on 190 plants responding every year during this period. Where abrupt changes occur m the intervening years, these are also discussed to the extent that the reason is known or there is a plausible explanation. These changes occurred because of the actions of a few plants with very large wastes relative to the others in a particular category. Table 15 shows the 1981-1988 trends with recycled wastes; Table 16 shows these trends without recycled wastes.
Generation (The solid waste generation excludes 200,000 tons of cleanup waste from an
impoundment in 1987.) Wastewater generation decreased 6.9 percent from 1981 to 1988.
With the addition of recycled wastes to the hazardous waste definition (see Table 15),
hazardous solid waste generation decreased 6.6 percent from 1981 to 1988.
When recycled wastes arenot included in the trend analyses (see Table 16), hazardous
solid waste generation decreased 35.7 percent from 198&A.198&.
Recycling (see Tabu 15)
Recycled wsstet first appeared in the survey in 1985 when BA revised itMfcfinition of
solid waste,
many recycled wastes subject to hn atdouj waste detanmation. In
1986, there was a large increase in therecycled quantity, primarily from one plant when
its state adopted the revised solid waste definition into its hazanfaus waste regulations.
Since then, the plant received a variance from the solid wastedefinition and it became
nonhazaxdous, --tug the quantity of hazardous recycled wastes substantially from
1986 to 1988.
Treatment
The quantity of waste treated in NPDES facilities was essentially unchanged from 1981 to
1988. Fluctuations from 1985 to 1988 were primarily from changes in the classification and management of one waste.
Discharge to a POTW decreased 66*5 percent from 1981 to 1988. The large decrease from
1984 to 1985 was primarily from ooe plantwhose wastewater was reclassified as
nonhazardous. Wastewater treatment by means other than in NTOES facilities or by discharge to a
POTW decreased 94.1 percent from 1981 to 1988. Indratkmtncreaseti64J percent from 1981 to 1988.
'' Solid wasteeftmetbymets otherthan mcmeratiorrdecreased by 76.7 percent from
1981 to 1988. The increases since 1985 have been primarily in wastes from a few plants.
Disposal
Umferground injection increased by 7.0percent from 1981 to 1988. Most of the increase
from 1987 to 1988 was from the reclassification of one waste. Landfill disposal decreased 28.6 percent from 1981 to a low in 1985. After 1985,
landfilled wastes changed little until an increase in 1988 from cleanup wastes. Disposal by means other than underground injection and landfill decreased by 82.1 percent
from 1981 to 1988. This comparison excludenshe 200,000 tons of cleanup waste from an
impoundment in 1987.

Trend Anelyno*
Hazardous - Wastewater (1981-1988)
The treads In waste quantities for the 1981-1988 trend yen are shown in the top half of Figure 15 and have been discussed in the previous section on Tables 15 and 16. The lower halfof the figure, which preseres wastewater quantities managed by different practices as a percentage of the total wastewater treated and disposed, is useful in showing any trends in wastewater management practices over the trend years.
Treatment
As a percentage of wastewater treated and disposed for a given year Quantities treated in NPDES facilities were 81.6 percent in 1981 and 90.1 percent in 1988. Quantities discharged to POTWs were 9.9 percent in 1981 and 3.6 percent in 1988. The quantity discharged to POTWs decreased in 1985, primarily because one plant had a wastewatcciw.Uttiifierl4s ncwiharairinwt m thatyear. This decrease in discharge to POTWs caused the percentage of waste (but not the quantity) treated in NPDES facilities to increase in 1985. Since these changes in 1985, the percentage usage of NPDES facilities has increased slightly and discharge to POTWs has decreased correspondingly. Quantities treated by means other than in NPDES facilities or discharged to POTWs were 3.3 percent m 1981. Since 1983, usage of treatment methods nthrr then NPDES and POTWs has remainedrelatiuely the same.
Wastewater Disposal
As a percentage of wastewatertreated and disposed fey a given year. Usage of underground injection has fluctuated between 4.9-7.0 percent from 1981 to
1988. Quantities injected underpound were 5.2 percent in 1981 and 6.2 percent in 1988.
Comparison to 1985-1988 Group ot Trend Plants
Although the group of trend plantrisdifferenrfor the peoodfcl98l-l988 and 1985-1988, both groups show the same trends fat'hazardous wastewater during 1985 through 1988 (see Figures 13 and 15for comparison of7985-/988period).

Hazardous Solid Wasto (1981-1998)
Tbe trends in waste quantities for the 1981-I9U trend years ire shown in the top half ofFigure 16 and law been discussed in the previous-aoahreon Table 16. The lower half of the figure, which presetts solid waste quantities managed byAfferent practices as a percentage of the tool solid waste treated and disposed, is useful in showreg any trends in solid watte management practices over the trend years. The percentages exclude,waste quantities that obscure trends. The excluded quantities are the impoundment cleanup wastem 1987and recycled wastes in 1985-1988.
Treatment
As a percentage of tool solid waste treatedand disposed for a given year (excluding an impoundment cleanup waste in-1987and recycled wastes in 1985-1988):
Incineration was essentially die tares level to 1981 and 1982. Since 1982, there has been a steady increase in inrincrarion Mret of the increases in 1986-2988 have been from a few plants with large wastes.
wwOther solid waste trritmrnf decreased from 14.0 percent in 1981 to 5.8 percent in 1988
Disposal
.
As a percentage of total solidwane nrnrri red disposed for a given year (excluding an
impoundment cleanup waste in 1987and recycled wastes in 1985-1988):
Landfill disposal has fluctuated between 13.0-29.7 percent from 1981 to 198^The recent
increase in 1988 was the result of cfenup wastes.
Disposal by means other than underground injection and landfill decreased from 38.4
percent in 1981 to 19.7 percent m 1988 with the largest decrease occurring between 1982
and 1983. This comparison excludes the 200,000 tons of cleanup waste from an impoundment in 1987.
Comparison to 1985-1988 Group of Trend Plants
Although the group of trend plants is differed to the periods 2981-1988 and 1985-1988. both groups show the same trends in hazardous solid waste during 1985 through 1988 (see Figures 14 and 16for comparison cf1985-1988period^

Introduction
1988 CMA Wane Survey
Hmtxrdous--Nonitatarxieta
Assurance of Confidentiality
Each plant is given a code number on the bottom right-hand comer of the cover page and on
eacbpageof the survey. The cover sheets are removed and placed in a confidential file. Thus, the survey can be processed without identifying a plant by name. Following completion of the project, the cover sheets will be retained in a separate, confidential file.
CMA and TK have carefully established this system for your protection in the belief that the responses to this survey will be more candid and complete once the
respondent has been assured of confidentiality.
Please contact JIM MULLIGAN or CMA to inquire about confidentiality or intent of this project. His telephone number is 202.887.1270.
introductory Note
CMA needs accurate and complete information about generation and disposition of both hazardous and nonhazardous waste by the chemical industry. CMA needs this information for
legislative and rulemaking advocacy, for evaluation of the Environmental Protection Agency's ongoing regulatory impact analyses, and for analyzing industry-wide trends. The goal is to establish a comprehensive in-house data base by continuing this survey on an annual basis.
General instructions
Please read the instructions on the page facing each set of questions as these instructions will explain what information is needed, as well as give definitions and notes related to the questions.
Briefly review all the questions before beginning. That way you will save time if you know in the beginning what kind of information you need to answer the questions.

You may PRINT rather than type your answers -- in fact, we recommend it to save
you time.. Please print neatly, though, and in INK or BALL POINT because pencil
often does not copy well.
;.
Responses to the survey questions should correspond to 1988 calendar year records and practices. Do NOT include any INVENTORY (wastes left irtstonge at the end of a calendar year, awaiting treatment or disposal) from previous years in your responses.

Introduction
1988 CMA Wast* Survey Hazardous--Nonhaxardoua
Definition of a Plant/Only SIC 2800 Plants
Only SIC 2800 industry plants need respond to this survey. An SIC 2800 industry is defined by the Bureau of Census as any plant whose largest source of revenue is from the manitfacture of SIC 2800 products. For this survey, a PLANT includes ALL SIC 2800 FACILITIES at one site, whether operated for manufacturing, waste management, research, or
combinations of these purposes.
Complete a surveyfor each SIC 2800 plant in the company...
Each CMA member company should complete s SEPARATE SURVEY for EACH PLANT in the company. Companies may have a single individual, such as an environmental coordinator, respond for all or several of their plants, or have each plant respond separamiy.
Numerical Responses
Report waste quantities in TONS. These quantities must be reported AS HANDLED or AS
IS tons -- sometimes also called WET tons. If you do not have actual weight measurements, give
your best estimate; Give answers to the nearest ton. For your convenience, here are a few unit
conversions:.;
1 ton * 2000 pounds
0.907 metric tons
- 240 gallons
If your answer is zero (0) for any question, you can either leave it blank or write down zero.
Avoid
Double-Counting
Wastes axe subdivided into specific categorieun the survey (wastes that are treated, wastes that are disposed, etc...). The choke of category for a waste can be confusing, for example, if the waste is both treked and disposed -- this can lead to double-counting of waste quantities if the instructions are not followed exactly.
To help you avoid double-counting (and having to contact you for clarification), there are
CALCULATION CHECKS in Section 7 (hazardous waste) and Section 10 (nonh&zardous waste). Please complete these checks to verily that your numbers balance.
On the next page is an EXAMPLE DIAGRAM of how hazardous waste quantities are categorized and how they should balance. Nonhazardous wastes are categorized and balanced in a similar fashion.

Prior to 1985, RECYCLABLE wastes were exempted from full regulation at 40 CFR 261.6(a). However, due to the change in solid waste definition many of these wastes are now subject to some regulation. Review the current regulations at 40 CFR 261.6 and 40 CFR 266 to be sure that you correctly include these recyclable waste which were regulated in 1988.
Boosed for Energy Recovery
bettardtZ983, EPA developed a sham recycling enforcement policy that considered the burning of low heating value hazardous waste 0e$s than 5000--8000 Btu/lb) in a boiler or
industrial furnace as incineration and subject to regulations under the inrintor aandards of Subpart O of Parts 264 or 265 (see 40 CFR 260.10 for the definition of-B&iler and industrial
furnace ). On May 6, 1987, EPA proposed extensive regulations for the burning of hazardous
waste in boilers and industrial furnaces (52 FR 16982).
Vi
Burning In Boilers end Industrial Furnaces In this survey, burning of any waste with LESS THAN 5000 Btu/lb heating value is
counted as INCINERATION in SECTION 3A. EPA's proposed regulations would apply to
burning in boilers or industrial furnaces irrespective of the heating value. However, to be consistent with past CMA surveys and EPA policy, only INCLUDE waste quantities in Section 3C if the heating value was GREATER THAN 5000 Btu/lb.
Other Wastes Burned for Energy Recovery If you have a waste that was burned for energy recovery, but you do not know if it was
burned in a boiler or industrial furnace, count this waste as other wastes burned for energy recovery. If the waste went to a fuel-blender, and you do not know the type of unit the blended waste was burned in, also count it as or other wastes burned for energy recovery. INCLUDE

4. Hazardous Wastmwater -- Management
Definition of Wastewater
In this survey, wastewaters are defined to be wastes that are treated by an NPOES permitted treatment plant,
discharged to a Publicly-Owned Treatment Works (POTW), WASTEWATERS that are disposed by UNDERGROUND INJECTION, or any other AQUEOUS
waste which you would classify as a wastewater. A POTW is any device or system used in the treatment of municipal sewage or industrial waste of a liquid nature which is owned by a State or municipality.
In this survey, wastewaters are defined to be wastes that are treated by an NPDES permitted treatment plant, discharged to a POTW, wastewaters thbt are disposed by underground injection, or any other aqueous waste that yourfacility calls a wastewater.
Wastewaters Excluded from this Section
In this section, do NOT include hazardous wastewaters which were UNDERGROUND INJECTED; these wastewaters are counted in Section 5. Do NOT include wastewaters that you exclude from your hazardous waste generation quantities by the DOMESTIC SEWAGE EXCLUSION.
Please note that any HAZARDOUS RESIDUE from treatment or pretreatment of wastewater that was separately disposed of should NOT be INCLUDED in your response to this question. These residues are counted as solid hazardous waste in Sections 2A and 3.
Number of On-Site Tanks
Only those tanks that were COMPANY-OWNED and ON-SITE at your facility should be counted. Do not count any tanks that were off-site at another company-owned facility to which you sent hazardous wastewater for treatment In counting the number of tanks, include those that were used for the treatment or storage of hazardous wastewater.
Hazardous Wastewaters Discharged to POTWs
In addition to the total waste you count as discharged to a POTW, enter the waste quantity that was TREATED prior to discharge to the POTW.

1988 CMA Waste Survey Hazardous--Nonhtnardaus
CMA believes that the hazardous waste survey database has shown decreases in waste generation by the rhgmioi industry since 1981. Critics such as the National Resources Defense Council, the Office of Toxic Assessment, and the National Public Radio have suggested that these decreases are merely the result of decreases in manufacturing and plant closings. CMA is asking for production data here to refine these claims. CMA has tried in the past to relate waste generation trends to production trends indirectly by other means (production ratios, U.S. Federal Reserve Board production indices). These methods have not satistified the critics who want to see a direct comparison of waste generation and production for facilities in the CMA database.
Confidentiality
The production data that you report will be kept confidential by CMA's contractor -- neither CMA or other member companies will have access to the data. You arcsoMkadsodiat names of actual products, only the total production for your facility. Any reporting-of the data by CMA will only be in summary form -- no single facility will be identified.
Only Processes Generating Hazardous Waste
Report your production numbers only for those processes that generated hazardous waste in 1988. You can report the production in any unit you wish (tons, pounds, millions of pounds, thousands of pounds) -- but please specify what unit you are using.

7. Calculation Check -- Hazardous Waste
The purpose of this checksheet is to make sure that your numbers for hazardous waste add up correctly. In the early surveys, this check was not done and it caused quite a few headaches in
working with the data.
If your numbers do not add up correctly on the checksheet, it means that you have double-
counted or mis-counted wastes in some part of the survey. If this happens, please go over the
numbers you've reported in the survey once again. If your numbers don't add up when CMA's
contractor looks at them, you will be called. And chances are that you've put all your worksheets

8. OTC -- Organic Toxicity Characteristic
OTC-charactsristlc Wastes Handled in Land-based Facilltles--Of your total
waste that would be OTCcharacteristic, report the quantity that is currently handled in a land-based facility. Land-based facilities axe: landfills, surface impoundments, waste piles, land application units, and injection wells. Remember though, you should count the unit if
waste is OTC-characteristic before it enters the land-based facility (see Point of Application ofOTC Levels).
Alternate Handling MethodS~.Of your OTC-characteristic wastes haiwttrd in land-based facilities, choose alternate methods that you think you would likely use to meet OTC levels for these wastes. For each method you choose* report the tons of waste for which the method would beused. If you would use several methods for a waste, report the tons of this waste for each method. For example; if you would use both strippin^end biological treatment for 10,000 tons of wastewater, report 10,000 tons for snipping and 10,000 tons for biological treatment Also report what type of facility you would likely use for each alternate method -- a company-owned facility or a commercial facility. The company-owned facility can be either at your site (on-site) or elsewhere (off-site). You will have to use your best judgment for choosing alternate methods and facilities, based on your knowledge of the waste and facilities. If you have no idea what alternate method and facility type you would use for a waste, report the tons of this waste as Don't Know.
Note: For this survey, assume that stabilization orfixation will not be an adequate method for organic constituents, unless you are certain it will workforyour waste.

9. Corrective Action
Instructions
1988 CMA Watu S*r~y Haurdoma--NoHteardams
Ifyou responded to the CMA 1986 Hazardous
Waste Survey, this section will look familiar. In the 1986 survey, CMA asked for information on
corrective action to be able to show the economic
impact of EPA's corrective action program. After
reviewing the dataf CMA felt that most survey
respondents were underestimating the number of units
that would need corrective action --possibly the idea ofcorrective action was still new at that time.
CMA is revisiting this issue now that corrective action is morefamiliar to persons today to be able to update
these economic impacts.
Background The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 greatly expanded authorities under RCRA for
requiring corrective-action for releases of hazardous waste and constituents at facilities that manage hazardous wastes. A generator that has interim status or has been issued a permit after enactment of the 1984 amendments (November 8,1984) is subject to corrective action requirements ofRCEA section 3004(u) or 3008(h). Conversely, if a generator has a permit issuedprior lo November8,1984 (which has not been re* opened after that date) or is e generator evify, the genesamr is not subject to cexrective action it rpuwmrnM
EPA has proposed, or is considering proposing, regulations that may bring-mch exempted generators into the permitting system and therefore, subject to corrective action requiretneinfc As example proposal is the Organic Toxicity Characteristic (OTC) (Section 8 of the survey). For this reason, CMA is requesting INFORMATION from ALL GENERATORS, even those that are currently not subject to corrective action
requirements.
In 1987, CMA conducted a major study to demonstrate to EPA and Congress that the corrective action program, if strictly and broadly implemented, would affect many solid waste management units at terrific costs to the chemical industry. The study estimated the cost of various cleanup remedies at various types of sites and applied these estimates to the aggregate number of waste management units of CMA members that were likely to be subject to corrective action, based on the responses to the 1986 survey. Your response to
this question will augment the study results. In addition, CMA will utilize your responses in its legislative efforts on the corrective action proposal which will be issued shortly.
To protect the CONFIDENTIALITY of your information, all data will remain coded and data for all the survey respondents-will be combined so that corrective action problems at individual facilities cannot be identified. Your response will not be exchanged or reviewed by ocher CMA member company personnel.
Hazardous Waste- Pannit Status of Facility
Check all that apply to the permit status of your facility (plant) with respect to hazardous waste: generator only, have a permit or interim status, don't handle hazardous wastes now, and will not be handling hazardous waste in the forseeabie future.

Of the total ******* of units of each type at your facility, enter the number that are, will be, or are
expected to be subject to corrective action requiring physical remediation.
Permit Statue -- Hazardous Waste Unite
For all hazardous waste units REQUHBNG CORRECTIVE ACTION, enter the number of units that are permitted and those chat have interim status. The sum of permitted and interim status units should be the same as the number of units you counted requiring corrective action.
Surface Area/Affeeted Area
For all landfills, surface impoundments, land treatment units, and waste piles REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION, enter the surface area in ACRES. For all other units, enter the land area in

1 0. Subtitle D -- Nonhazardous Wastes
were not hazardous in 1988. Number of On-Slto Un/te-Count the number of on-site units used to treat, store, dispose, or
recycle nonhazardous wastes only. Units you should count are: tanks: container storage areas; impoundments: landfills; incinerators; waste piles; boilers, industrial furnaces, or other thermal units; and land application or treatment areas. Do not count any sumps or ditches. Ifa unit handles hazardous waste as well as nonhazardous waste, do not count it.
Ash end Noncontact Cooling Wstsr^Two types of nonhazardous waste covered in this survey are gmfn1*2**3in4 very large amounts -- ash from coal burning and noncontact cooling water. You are asked to report these wastes separately so that these large amounts will not
overshadow the other wastes you report Waste Genetstion~M the top of each column, report the total waste you generated in 1988 for
that type of waste. Wests Quantittee-SThc waste you report for each management practice should be only that
waste generatedin 1988. Please do not count waste that was left over from years before separating die 1988 waste from previous waste, make your
Management Practice*..Jor each nonhazardous waste, choose only one management practice
that best describes how the waste was handled Yon may have some problemin choosing
between the treatment and disposal practices when a waste has gone through both. For example, what practice do you choose for sludge from a wastewater treatment pTant? Use
this general rule -- if a waste still must be disposed after treatment, put it in a disposal
category.
Notes:
(1) NPDES--National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. It refers to your wastewater treatment system (including treatment, storage, and storm water
impoundments) that has a permit to discharge its effluent under the NPDES regulatory
system. ` (2) POTW--Publicly-Owned Treatment Works, like your city's wastewater treatment
plant It includes treatment, storage, and storm water impoundments. (3) Tanks Only--if the waste is treated in tanks ONLY.
(4) Impoundments--if the waste is treated entirely or at least in part in a surface
jtppnwMhwgHfr-
Cotumn Totals and NumOors-Cfteek~.Total the numbers in each column. If the waste
generation number at the top of each column is less, than the column total, you probably
counted waste that-you had stored from previous,years. Please review the instructions in Waste Quantities MbovesBdconectyoui uumbers. Ifthewaste^generarionnuinberatthe top
of each column is more
the column total, ask yourself if the difference in the two
numbers is die amount of waste you had left in storage at the end of 1988. If that sounds
reasonable, day. If not, please check yournumbers again.
Site Cleanup Westes~JO( the waste generation amount that you report at the top of each
column, report the quantity of nonhazardous waste that was generated through RCRA,
CERCLA, or otherremedial site cleanup activities.

B. Surface Impoundment Inventory -- On-site Only
Each on-site surface impoundment that you report should be entered on a separate line of the
inventory form. If your impoundments will not fit all on one page* copy the form and number your
pages. If you do nothave answers for every item for an impoundment, leave the unknown item BLANK. Impoundment Jdentlfteetion^Thc identification columa is for your- purposes only so that you can
keep track of which impoundments you have included in die inventory, the identification will not
be entered into the database of this survey. l/#ag~.Choose all of the following usages that spply to describe each impoundment:
NPDES--National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. It refers to your
wastewater treatment system (Including treatment* storage, and storm water impoundments) that has a permit to discharge its effluent under the NPDE5 regulamry system.
POTW--Publicly-Owned Treatment Works, like your city's wastewater treatment
plant. It includes treatment, storage, and sunn water impoundments. Disposal--where you intend to leave the waste when you no longeruse the disposal
unit For example, a fly ash pond thatwill be drained and ripped with
the ash remaining. An example that is NOT disposal-is a wmeaw treatment pond where sludge is removed from time to xmesmdfmnbe remaining sludge will be removed when the unit is no longer in use.
Other--where noneof the above decriptioos fit the impoundment
Ifo/uma--Give the capacity of the impoundment in gallons. If your records show volume in ft3, use the
following conversion to gallons: UDfP - 7.48 gallons
Type ot Waste HsndtedJFoux types of wastes are listed: noncontact cooling water, boiler ash/slag and flyash, other wastewater, and other solid waste. Choose all codes that apply to the
impoundment.
Liner Type~.Cboosc all of the following liner descriptions that now spply to the impoundment Concrete liner covering all sides and the bottom of the impoundment and where the joints
have been sealed to stop leaks Synthetic finer---like one made of plastic or rubber material, one that is not concrete or clay Engineered day finer--where die clay has been brought in and compacted
Natural clay liner--where the impoundment has been dug out in a clay soil or located in a
depression with day soil; the clay soil that forms the bottom of the impoundment acts as a liner: -
Other*-a liner that docs not meet any of die above descriptions
None--the impoundment has no liner Ground Water MonftoringsuAtsswer yesif now there are wells specifically for

Dear Sandra:
Attached is our reply form for participation in Phase II of the OECD High Production Volume Existing Chemicals Testing Program. Vista supports this program but has concerns about the potential cost. We realize that it is difficult to estimate potential costs at this time. However, our commitment is contingent on our presumption that based on the known low hazard of this material, actual testing costs may be relatively low.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Grumbles, C.I.H. Manager Environmental Affairs
