II. Description of Proposed Amendments

EPA is proposing to grant a variance to Chemical Waste Management, Chemical Services LLC (CWM) to stabilize a selenium-bearing waste from Guardian Industries Corp. (Guardian) at their RCRA permitted facility in Model City, New York. If this proposal is finalized, CWM may treat the specific waste to an alternate selenium treatment standard of 28 mg/L, as measured by the TCLP, for the Guardian waste. CWM may dispose of the treated waste in a RCRA Subtitle C landfill, provided they meet the applicable LDR treatment standards for any hazardous constituents in the waste.

EPA is also modifying the existing alternative treatment standard for the Guardian selenium waste that EPA had previously granted to Heritage Environmental Services LLC to be consistent with the levels that CWM has demonstrated as BDAT for this selenium waste (69 FR 6567, February 11, 2004).
