APPENDIX E<br />

Steam-cleaning rinsate will be containerized separately from other liquids such as well<br />

purge/development water unless the rinsate is non-hazardous. Likewise, water generated from<br />

decontamination of radioactive materials will also be segregated from other decontamination water.<br />

Decontamination water may be containerized in bulk form, accumulating a larger volume, which will be<br />

sampled, analyzed, and characterized based on known contaminants as well as analytical results.<br />

However, no purposeful dilution of hazardous wastewater with non-hazardous wastewater will be<br />

performed.<br />

4.1.5 Personal Protective Equipment<br />

Disposable PPE includes the following:<br />

Tyvek full-body coveralls<br />

Chemical-resistant surgical-type gloves<br />

Cotton work gloves<br />

Chemical-resistant boot covers<br />

Respirator filters (respirators may be needed based upon air monitoring action levels)<br />

Protective clothing and used disposable sampling equipment will be containerized together and separated<br />

from other solid and liquid wastes. Protective clothing and sampling equipment is typically collected on<br />

a daily basis in plastic garbage bags and disposed of in a drum or storage container dedicated for this type<br />

of waste. Personal protective equipment worn by observers or other site personnel who do not come in<br />

any contact with contaminated media can be disposed of as domestic waste. If proper decontamination<br />

steps are followed, protective equipment, clothing, and/or miscellaneous sampling equipment solid<br />

wastes may be considered non-hazardous. If disposable PPE and equipment are used, they must be<br />

managed as a listed hazardous waste if they are used to handle listed hazardous waste. If disposable PPE<br />

and equipment are used to manage characteristic hazardous waste, based on a generator determination,<br />

they should be managed as a solid waste unless extremely contaminated.<br />

4.1.6 Other IDW Streams<br />

Drilling materials such as filterpack sand or bentonite grout/seals that have not been in contact with site<br />

soils or water will be handled as non-hazardous, non-radioactive waste. If these materials are<br />

containerized for the purpose of tidiness, they will be clearly marked as non-hazardous/non-radioactive,<br />

and stored in an area separate from the other drums.<br />

4.2 Types of Remedial Action Wastes<br />

4.2.1 RCRA Waste Piles<br />

Soil generated from a remedial action that is a listed or characteristic hazardous waste must be stored in<br />

containers, containment buildings, or be managed under the requirements for RCRA Temporary Units,<br />

Corrective Action Management Units, or Staging Piles in 40 CFR Part 264.552, Part 264.553, or part<br />

264.554, respectively. If the response action is being conducted under CERCLA authority, only the<br />

substantive requirements of these regulations are applicable or relevant and appropriate. RCRA<br />

hazardous waste may also be managed in a designated Area of Contamination (AOC) on a CERCLA site,<br />
