Section 30.513 - General Waste Analysis(1)Waste Analysis Requirements.(a) An owner or operator shall, before treating, storing, using, or disposing of any hazardous waste, obtain a detailed chemical and physical analysis of a representative sample of the waste. At a minimum this analysis shall contain all the information which needs to be known to treat, store, use, or dispose of the waste in compliance with the requirements of 310 CMR 30.500, 30.750, and with the conditions of the facility's license in effect at that time pursuant to 310 CMR 30.800.(b) Provided the facility complies with the minimum frequencies specified within its Waste Analysis Plan for testing its waste, contaminated soils, treatment residues, and extracts from treatment residues as established pursuant to 310 CMR 30.513(2), the analysis may include data developed by the generator pursuant to 310 CMR 30.302 and existing published or documented data on the hazardous waste or on hazardous wastes generated from processes similar to those which generate that waste.(c) The analysis shall be repeated as often as necessary to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date. At a minimum, the analysis shall be repeated when the owner or operator is notified, or has reason to believe, that the process or operation generating the hazardous waste has changed; and, for facilities which receive shipments from off-site sources, when the results of the inspection required by 310 CMR 30.513(1)(d) indicate that the hazardous waste received at the facility is not as described on the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.(d) The owner or operator shall inspect and, if necessary, analyze each hazardous waste shipment received at the facility to determine whether it is as described on the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.(2)Content of Plan.(a) The owner or operator shall prepare a waste analysis plan which shall describe the procedures which shall be carried out to comply with 310 CMR 30.513(1)(a). At a minimum, the waste analysis plan shall specify: 1. The parameters for which each hazardous waste shall be analyzed and the rationale for the selection of these parameters, i.e. how analysis for those parameters will provide sufficient information on the waste's properties to comply with 310 CMR 30.513(1)(a).2. The test methods which shall be used to test for these parameters.3. The sampling methods which shall be used to obtain a representative sample of the waste to be analyzed.4. The frequency with which the initial analysis of the waste shall be reviewed or repeated to ensure that the analysis is accurate and up-to-date.5. Where applicable, the methods which shall be used to meet the additional waste analysis requirements for specific waste management methods as specified in 310 CMR 30.560, 30.629, 30.750, and 310 CMR 7.08(4).6. Where applicable, the following procedures and schedule for sampling surface impoundments that are exempted from the land disposal restrictions pursuant to 310 CMR 30.750: a. the sampling of impoundment contents; andb. the analysis of test data; andc. the annual removal of residues which are not delisted pursuant to 310 CMR 30.142 or which exhibit a characteristic of a hazardous waste, and either do not meet the applicable treatment standard(s) of 40 CFR Part 268, Subpart D as incorporated by reference at 310 CMR 30.750 with modifications, or, if there are no applicable treatment standards, are otherwise prohibited from land disposal.(b) For facilities which receive shipments from off-site sources, the waste analysis plan shall also specify the procedures which shall be used to inspect and, if necessary, analyze each shipment of hazardous waste received at the facility to ensure that it is as described on the accompanying manifest or shipping paper. At a minimum, the plan shall describe: 1. The procedures which shall be used to determine the content of each shipment of waste managed at the facility;2. The sampling method which shall be used to obtain a representative sample of the waste to be identified, if the identification method includes sampling; and3. Any waste analysis to be supplied by the generator.
