hazardous waste

Amendments adopted by the Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission on August 19, 2008:

Removal of Delisting #007 in Part 261, Appendix IX

1) Amend Delisting #007 in Appendix IX of Part 261 to read as follows: 

DELISTING #:    007

FACILITY:   Golden Aluminum, Inc.

ADDRESS:   1405 East 14th Street, Fort Lupton, CO 80621

WASTE:    Wastewater Treatment Sludge from Aluminum Cleaning and Conversion Coating Operations. EPA Hazardous Waste Code F019 generated after the effective date of this delisting.

The Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission is hereby removing the conditional delisting granted to the Golden Aluminum, Inc. (“Golden Aluminum”) facility in Fort Lupton, Colorado (the “Facility”).

Golden Aluminum was granted a conditional delisting by the Commission on October 18, 2005 for wastewater treatment sludge (F019 hazardous waste) generated from aluminum cleaning and conversion coating operations at the Facility.

The delisting was granted under conditions that specified disposal, recordkeeping, and storage requirements for the delisted sludge.  The conditional delisting of the F019 waste also prohibited any major changes to the chemical conversion coating process or wastewater treatment process without prior notification, evaluation, and approval by the Division.

On February 12, 2008, the Division received notification from Golden Aluminum indicating that the Facility would be converting its titanium conversion coating process to a chrome conversion coating process effective February 18, 2008.

Delisting determinations are made on a case-by-case basis with respect to a specific waste generation process.  Golden Aluminum’s change to a new chromate conversion coating process using hexavalent chromium is a significant change from the titanium conversion coating process described in the Facility’s April 8, 2005 delisting petition.

Golden Aluminum’s 2005 delisting no longer covers the wastewater treatment sludge generated at the Facility, and the Facility was notified by the Division on March 24, 2008 that wastewater treatment sludge generated from the new chromate conversion coating process at the Facility must be collected and managed as a hazardous waste with the waste code of F019.
2) Add Section 8.68 {Statement of Basis and Purpose for the Rulemaking Hearing of August 19, 2008} to Part 8 of the Regulations as follows:

Statement of Basis and Purpose
Rulemaking Hearing of August 19, 2008

8.68 	Basis and Purpose.

This amendment to 6 CCR 1007-3, Part 261, Appendix IX is made pursuant to the authority granted to the Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission in § 25-15-302(2), C.R.S.
