310 CMR 40.0032
Contaminated Media and Contaminated Debris
(1) Contaminated Media and Contaminated Debris containing oil and/or waste oil at levels
equal to or greater than an applicable Reportable Concentration specified in 310 CMR 40.0300
and 310 CMR 40.1600, and that are not otherwise a hazardous waste, shall be managed in
compliance with the provisions of 310 CMR 30.252(1) or, in accordance with the provisions of
310 CMR 30.252(2), shall be managed under the Bill of Lading process described in 310 CMR
40.0034 or under a Hazardous Waste Manifest in accordance with 310 CMR 30.000: Hazardous
Waste when they are transported from a disposal site.
(2) Contaminated Media and Contaminated Debris containing one or more hazardous materials
at levels equal to or greater than an applicable Reportable Concentration specified in 310 CMR
40.0300 and 310 CMR 40.1600, and which are not a hazardous waste, shall be managed under
the Bill of Lading process described in 310 CMR 40.0034 or under a Hazardous Waste Manifest
in accordance with 310 CMR 30.000: Hazardous Waste when they are transported from a
disposal site.
40.0032: continued
(3)
Soils containing oil or waste oil at concentrations less than an otherwise applicable
Reportable Concentration and that are not otherwise a hazardous waste, and soils that contain
one or more hazardous materials at concentrations less than an otherwise applicable Reportable
Concentration and that are not a hazardous waste, may be transported from a disposal site
without notice to or approval from the Department under the provisions of this Contingency
Plan, provided that such soils:
(a) are not disposed or reused at locations where the concentrations of oil or hazardous
materials in the soil would be in excess of a release notification threshold applicable at the
receiving site, as delineated in 310 CMR 40.0300 and 310 CMR 40.1600; and
(b) are not disposed or reused at locations where existing concentrations of oil and/or
hazardous material at the receiving site are significantly lower than the levels of those oil
and/or hazardous materials present in the soil being disposed or reused.
(4) Contaminated Groundwater and Contaminated Surface Water that is collected, treated,
conveyed, withdrawn, contained or discharged at or from a disposal site as part of a response
action shall be managed in compliance with applicable provisions of 310 CMR 40.0030 and
310 CMR 40.0040.
(5) Contaminated Media and Contaminated Debris managed under the Bill of Lading process
described in 310 CMR 40.0034 shall not be disposed of at a land disposal facility if a feasible
alternative exists that involves the reuse, recycling, destruction, and/or detoxification of such
materials. An evaluation of whether such an alternative is feasible shall consider:
(a) the volume and physical characteristics of the Contaminated Media and Debris;
(b) the levels of oil and/or hazardous materials present within the Contaminated Media and
Debris; and
(c) the relative costs of management options.
