F Technologies to Achieve Deactivation of Characteristics

Section 728 Section 728.APPENDIX F   Technologies to Achieve Deactivation of Characteristics The treatment standard for many characteristic wastes is stated in Table T, entitled "Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes", as "DEACT and meet Section 728.148 standards".  USEPA has determined that many technologies, when used alone or in combination, can achieve the deactivation portion of the treatment standard.  Characteristic wastes that are not managed in a facility regulated by the CWA or in a CWA-equivalent facility, and that also contain underlying hazardous constituents (see Section 728.102(i)) must be treated not only by a "deactivating" technology to remove the characteristic, but also to achieve the universal treatment standards (UTS) for underlying hazardous constituents.  This Appendix F presents a partial list of technologies, utilizing the five letter technology codes established in Table C, that may be useful in meeting the treatment standard.  Use of these specific technologies is not mandatory and does not preclude direct reuse, recovery or the use of other pretreatment technologies, provided deactivation is achieved and underlying hazardous constituents are treated to achieve the UTS.
