r Hazardous Wiste Fact Sheet #4.18 April i998 options for managing the absorbent material are not possible, test it for metal and volatile contaminants using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). (See Hazardous Waste fact sheet #2.04, Characteristic Wastes, for more information.) If the material is nonhazardous, it may oe managed as an industrial solid waste and sent to a solid waste landfill or burner that can accept it. Check with the landfill operator before shipping! • Lk|nld Layer: Carefully following BMPs will keep levels of hazardous roeuls and organic compounds below maximum allowable concentrations. Your county* solid waste officer and/ or local wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operator can provide infonhation to help you determine which of the following management options will work best for you: I. If you are hooked up to a WWTP and discharge is approved, you may discharge it to the sanitary sewer. The WWTP may require testing prior to discharge. Check with your local treatment plant operator first. 2. Nonhazardous liquid wastes discharged to a septic system or bolding tank, may be managed like domestic septage. A certified septage hauler can pump out the waste and dispose of it at a WWTP or by land application in accordance with an MPCA-approved land application management plan. The WWTP may require testing. Check widi your local treatment plant operator. 3. Send it to a solid waste incinerator or power plant that is able to incinerate it. They may require testing. Check with your county solid waste officer to determine your local options. 4. Pretreat it using an appropriate pretreatment unit, such as an oil*water separator, reverse osmosis or activated carbon filter. Treated liquid may then be hauled or discharged to a WWTP, (if approved by the plant operator), or land applied in an approved manner. Check with the Solid Waste Section (see page 4) to determine if land application is appropriate. If the liquid waste has been sufficiendy treated to meet drinking water standards, it may be able to be discharged to a septic ^stem outside a wellhead protection a:ea. Contact MPCA’s Underground Injection Control Program for guidance. (See page 4.) For help with pretreatment options, contact yjur local WWTP. • Sand/SIndge: Carefully following BMPs will keep levels of hazardous metals and organic compounds below maximum allowable concentrations. These are your management options: 1. De-water and send the sand/sludge to an approved mixed municipal or industrial ludfill that is able to accept it Contact the operator first; they may require testing. 2. Incinerate or thermally treat it (only if organic compounds are not halogenated) at an approved facility. For a listing of facilities, contact the MPCA Emergency Response Section. (See page 4.) 3. Some soils can be land treated in accordance with an MPCA-approved management plan. For more mformation, contact the MPCA Solid Waste Section. 4. Send de-watered sludge to a mixed mimicipal compost facility if there is one in your area that will accept it Contact the operator first • Liquid and Saad/Sludge Together: If acccfXed, take or discharge to a WWTP. You must first get approval from your local WWTP operator to disctuuge. j
