ii. The sampling person removes a sample that uniformly represents the
waste composition of the container (i.e., all layers and phases will be
represented in the sample).
Sample containers will be labeled, recorded on the sampling log and delivered to the
laboratory under strict Chain of Custody practices.
2.8.2 Incoming Waste Code Assignment
The waste generator will be responsible for assigning waste codes. Acceptance of waste at
the proposed TSF will consist, in part, of facility personnel checking completeness and
accuracy of the assigned waste codes. This step will be done by checking the “process
generating the waste” against the waste codes recorded on the manifest. This verification
may be based on “waste generator knowledge,” analytical results, or a combination of both,
as appropriate for the materials under scrutiny.
When the truck arrives, the waste codes on the shipping papers/manifest will be checked
against the waste codes on the profile. The codes on the shipping papers/manifest will be the
codes assigned to the delivery once it is accepted for storage, provided that the codes will be
either identical or a subset of the waste codes on the profile.
2.8.3 Waste Codes for Containers
Waste codes for containers will be those contained on the line item of the manifest. Facility
personnel will be able to track incoming accepted materials by line item on a manifest, or by
using all the waste codes on the profile or the subset on the manifest.
2.8.4 Waste Code Tracking and Residue Disposition
The proposed TSF will track waste codes chronologically from the moment they arrive on
site, throughout storage, treatment, and LDR characterization (40 CFR 268).
1. Discrepancies will be resolved with the waste generator before the waste is accepted.
2. After the waste has been visually inspected and accepted by the proposed TSF, it will be
entered into the proposed TSF’s waste tracking system described in Section 4.
3. Material will be entered into the proposed TSF’s inventory records.
4. Material will be tracked through the treatment process by mass/volume and date of
treatment. If material will only be entered into storage (i.e., elemental mercury that
requires no treatment), the material will move to the appropriate location and be entered
into the inventory records for that area.
5. Materials generated in the treatment process (e.g., filter cake, Hygiene Dust Collector
dust, etc.) will be logged into inventory at the time of generation.
