5.4.8 Other characterisation information will include:
The generic information required for basic characterisation by the existing
permit for the hazardous waste stream:
Source and origin of the waste
The process producing the waste
Waste treatments applied to the waste
The composition of the waste and an assessment against relevant
limit values
The appearance of the waste
Any equivalent codes applicable to the waste (EWC etc.),
although this would not apply legally to LLW
Any hazardous properties according to Schedule 3 of the
Hazardous Waste Regulations.
The relevant properties which make the waste hazardous should
that apply
A demonstration that the waste is not prohibited
For waste streams where each package is not characterised and it
is argued that some of the characteristics are the same across the
waste stream; the compositional range for the individual
packages.
A measurement of the weight of each package.
The acceptability and characterisation of the waste against the hazardous
waste landfill acceptance criteria under existing permits where these are
referred to by the RSA authorisation or other non-radiological criteria
established by the RSA authorisation. For a hazardous waste landfill site
this might generically include:
compliance with the banned substance list,
compliance with the waste acceptance limits for hazardous waste
disposal,
the designated leach testing of the waste/waste streams, where
applicable,
Details of any pre-conditioning/treatment of the wastes that has
been utilised and details of compliance with the “three-point test”
for pre-treatment.
The amount of voidage in the waste package (where relevant, for
example in the case of wrapped items).
Justification that the waste hierarchy of avoid, reduce, recycle and reuse
has been applied to the waste.
Information relating to the safe transport of the waste as required under
the transport regulations.
