APPENDIX E<br />

2.1 Waste Characterization and Classification<br />

All waste streams including, but not limited to, sludge, soil, well development and purge water,<br />

decontamination rinsate, and debris will be sampled and waste-classified in accordance with 40 CFR<br />

262.11 and 20 NMAC Chapter 9, Part 1, Section 704, which require the generator to determine if a waste<br />

is a listed or characteristic hazardous waste, or New Mexico Special Waste. Documentation of all waste<br />

classifications must be maintained in the generator's file.<br />

Site characterization data may be used, or representative samples will be obtained in accordance with the<br />

federal and New Mexico Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, the New Mexico Special Waste<br />

Requirements Regulations, and applicable project-specific requirements, which includes sampling for<br />

other known or suspected contaminants (e.g., PCBs or asbestos).<br />

Sampling requirements will be specified on a project-specific basis, and may include the following:<br />

Ignitability<br />

Corrosivity<br />

Reactivity<br />

Toxicity Characteristics [totals or Leaching Procedure (TCLP)]<br />

Paint Filter Test<br />

Additional parameters as identified by NMED<br />

RCRA Subtitle C listed wastes<br />

Toxicity Characteristic results will be compared against the criteria listed in Table 2-1.<br />

If the above tests do not apply, New Mexico allows documentation of a special waste by its appropriate<br />

regulated statutes such as TSCA, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, or other<br />

applicable statutes.<br />

2.2 Hazardous Waste<br />

New Mexico Hazardous Waste Management Regulations are found in 20 NMAC, Chapter 4. RCRA<br />

Subtitle C and the New Mexico Hazardous Waste Management Regulations govern the generation,<br />

treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste from point of generation through ultimate disposal.<br />

All waste streams must be classified in order to determine proper management practices. The NMED<br />

HWB oversees management of the hazardous waste program in New Mexico. The state is authorized to<br />

implement most of the federal RCRA program; however, they are not authorized for the RCRA<br />

Corrective Action program or the used oil program in 40 CFR Part 279. New Mexico does not classify<br />

additional wastes as state hazardous wastes in addition to the federal hazardous wastes, nor does New<br />

Mexico have separate criteria for characterizing hazardous waste.<br />

The state does have a fee program requiring generators and TSDFs to pay annual fees to meet necessary<br />

expenses in the administration and operation of the state hazardous waste program. Kirtland AFB will<br />

pay applicable fees as generator of the hazardous waste.<br />
