1) That any PCB materials present at < 50 ppm in the waste shipment DID NOT result from any dilution of materials containing > 49 ppm PCBs. Furthermore, I certify that the waste shipment meets NONE of the definitions of descriptions of PCBs, PCB items, or PCB contaminated materials found in 40 CFR 761.1, 761.3, and 761.70.
2) In addition, if any of the waste codes listed in Appendix XI of 40 CFR 268 - Metal Bearing Wastes Prohibited from Dilution in a Combustion Unit According to 40 CFR 268.3 (C) - are present, at least one of the following criteria have been met.
a) The waste contains hazardous organic constituents or cyanide at levels exceeding the constituents - specific treatment standard found in 40 CFR 268.48. This is the table of Universal Treatment standards covering 126 organic approximately compounds. The vast majority of the limiting concentrations for waste waters are less than 1 mg/l.
b) The waste consists of organic debris-like materials, such as, wood, paper, plastics, or cloth, contaminated with inorganic metal-bearing hazardous waste.
c) The waste, at point of generation, has reasonable heating value such as greater than or equal to 5000 Btu per pound;
d) The waste is co-generated with wastes for which combustion is a required method of treatment. For a list of such wastes, see 40 CFR 268.40.
e) The waste is subject to federal and/or state requirements necessitating reduction of organics.
f) The waste contains greater than 1% Total Organic Carbon (TOC).
3) The waste does not contain Hg at concentrations equal to or greater than 260mg/kg or is otherwise subject to the land ban restriction on the combustion of Hg containing wastes found in 40CFR 268.40.
I further certify that all information submitted in this and all attached documents contains true and accurate descriptions of the waste. Any sample submitted is representative as defined in 40 CFR 261 - Appendix 1 or by using an equivalent method. All relevant information regarding known or suspected hazards in the possession of the generator has been disclosed to GAR.
