Intended Audience:
Participants will learn shortcuts, such as Assumption Rules for PCB concentrations, as well as the requirements, as amended, for inspecting, marking, storing, and record keeping of PCBs and PCB Items. Participants will also learn about the new disposal provisions for PCB remediation waste, PCB bulk product waste, PCB/radioactive waste, and wastes from research and development activities.
Course Description:
This course is an update of the previous DOE course on the Management of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). On June 29, 1998, EPA issued the 250-page PCB Disposal Amendments (63 FR 35384). The amendments include many significant changes that will ease the compliance burden on the regulated community in accordance with the initiative of Reinventing Environmental Regulations. The course provides an overview of the PCB regulations with an emphasis on PCB disposal. Participants will learn shortcuts, such as Assumption Rules for PCB concentrations, as well as the requirements, as amended, for inspecting, marking, storing, and recordkeeping of PCBs and PCB Items. Participants will also learn about the new disposal provisions for PCB remediation waste, PCB bulk product waste, PCB/radioactive waste, and wastes from research and development activities. A copy of a Guidance Booklet on the Storage and Disposal of PCB Waste will be provided. A quiz after each section offers in-class opportunities to apply the knowledge acquired and to evaluate student learning.
Learning modules include the following: Background PCB information (physical, chemical, and toxicological properties), 40 CFR 761 Subpart A - General (applicability, categorizing PCBs, establishing the PCB concentration, and determining whether material is a PCB waste), 40 CFR 761 Subpart B - Prohibitions and Authorizations (manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and use; servicing, reclassification, and inspection), 40 CFR 761 Subpart C - Marking, 40 CFR 761 Subparts B and D - Storage for Reuse and Storage for Disposal, 40 CFR 761 Subpart B - Burning Used Oil, 40 CFR 761 Subpart D - Disposal (general requirements, bulk PCB liquids, and PCB Items), 40 CFR 761.61 - PCB Remediation Waste, 40 CFR 761 Subpart D - PCB Bulk Product Waste and Other Wastes, 40 CFR 761.79 - Decontamination, TSCA PCB Coordinated Approvals, 40 CFR 761 Subparts J and K – Record keeping, Reporting, and Notification
Comments:
PCB was designated by the Department of Energy Environmental Training Partnership as the "best-in-class" course in the Advanced TSCA topical Area.
