Margaret Rita July 10, 1986 FOR YOUR INFORMATION!!! TO: SPI Staff EPA: EPA Announces availability of Several Reports on the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (51 PR 24856) cc: John Dubeck THE SOCIETY OF THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY, INC 1025 CONNECTICUT AVENUE WASHINGTON, D C 20036 (202) 822-6700 24856 Federal Register / Vol- 51, No. 131 / Wednesday, July 9. 1986 / Proposed Rules (hen 1.0/year, at the Orange County site. These two monitoring locations represent the urban area of Orlando. Florida. While the Seminole County monitor has been in place for more than eight quarters and has not measured any exceedances since at least 1980, the data prior to 1983 did not meet the quality assurance guidelines, which require, in part that valid data be collected for 75% of the hours in the ozone season. EPA policy allows for the use of eight quarters of ozone data showing no exceedances when three years is not available. Specifically, the most recent two years of air quality data (1983 and 1984) for Seminole County, and the most recent three years of air quality data (1982,1983. and 1984) for Orange County are summarized below: * ThrM year average 2 Nol to be exceeded more then once per year In addition to the ozone monitored data, Orange County has implemen an EPA-approved control strategy.n the 1979 SIP submittal, the Orlando Url a Area Metropolitan Planning Organization performed a rollback calculation demonstrating that a 20c reduction of VOC emissions was required. The actual VOC emission reductions achieved from 1979 to 1984.' was 23.7%. Fora more detailed discussion, please refer to the Technical Support Document which is available for inspection at the EPA Region IV office. On the basis of these air quality data showing attainment and evidence of an implemented EPA-approved control strategy, EPA proposes to approve the redesignation of Orange County. Florida from ozone nonattainment to attanment. In 1985, Duval County monitored two exceedances of the ozone standard. These two exceedances, combined with no exceedances in 1984 and two exceedances monitored in 1983. result in a calculated expected exceedance greater than 1.0. On the basis of these air quality data. EPA herewith withdraws its proposal of November 28. 1984 (49 FR 48767), to redesignate Duval County. Florida from nonaltainment to attainment for ozone. Proposed Action EPA is today proposing to approve the redesignation of the Orange County, Florida ozone nonattainment area on the basis of quality assured air quality data and an EPA-approved implemented control strategy. The public is invited to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written comments on the proposed action. Under 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Administrator has certified that area redesignations do not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. (See 46 FR 8709). The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the requirements of section 3 of Executive Order 12291. List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 81 Air pollution control.

ACTION: Notice of availability of reports TuSnsAnv Q|i [muary 14~ proposed a framework for a regulatory program to implement the Congressionally mandated land disposal prohibitions (51 FR 1602). This framework proposed use of a leaching test, known as the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) for use in determining whether applicable hazardous waste treatment standards have been achieved. On June 13,1986 the Agency further proposed use of the TCLP in amending its hazardous waste identification regulations under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). by expanding the Toxicity Characteristic to include additional chemicals (51 FR 21648). Today's Federal Register notice indicates the availability of several reports that further support the TCLP. and the analytical methods to be used to analyze TCLP extracts. date: Comments on the noticed report, must be submitted on or before August 8, 1986. ADDRESSES: One original and three copies of all comments on the noticed reports, identified by the docket number F-86-TCS1-FFFFF, should be sent to ihe following address: EPA RCRA Docket (S--212), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (WH-562), 401 M Street SW..

SUPPLEMEK SRY information: On January 14, 1986 EPA proposed to use the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) in it's Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) regulations, to determine whether applicable treatment standards have been achieved (51 FR 1602). The TCLP was additionally proposed on June 13,1986 as a replacement for the current Extraction Procedure (EP) leaching test (51 FR 21648). As noted in the preamble to the Toxicity Characteristic rule, several efforts designed to evaluate the performance of the method, as well as efforts to further investigate analytical methods for analysis of the TCLP extracts, were still underway at the time of proposal. Most of these efforts have now been completed. The purpose of today's Federal Register notice is to indicate the availability of the completed reports for SPI-12169 The I Vinyl Institute VINYL INSTITUTE TASK FORCE EPA Proposed Rule: Hazardous Waste Management System 51 FR 21648 - 21693 OCCIDENTAL CHEMICAL Joe Kinq, Chairman of Task Force Box 699 Pottstown, PA 1L9464 (215) 327-6749 AIR PRODUCTS & CHIEMICALS John Barr Box 538 Allentown, PA 1L8105 (215) 481-8343 BORDEN CHEMICALS Nat Blackman 511 Lancaster St. Leominster, MASS 01453 (617) 537-1711 OR Bailey Barton 165 Washington Ave. Columbus, OH 43215 (614) 225-4292 OR J.C.
