Universal treatment standards
Cite as N.D. Admin. Code § 33.1-24-05-288
Table "Universal Treatment Standards" identifies the hazardous constituents, along with the
nonwastewater and wastewater treatment standard levels, that are used to regulate most prohibited
hazardous wastes with numerical limits. For determining compliance with treatment standards for
underlying hazardous constituents as defined in subsection 10 of section 33.1-24-05-251, these
treatment standards may not be exceeded. Compliance with these treatment standards is measured by
an analysis of grab samples, unless otherwise noted in the following table "Universal Treatment
Standards".

1 CAS means Chemical Abstract Services. When the waste code and/or regulated constituents are described as a
combination of a chemical with its salts and/or esters, the CAS number is given for the parent compound only.
2 Concentration standards for wastewaters are expressed in mg/l and are based on analysis of composite samples.
3 Except for Metals (Extraction procedure or toxicity characteristic leaching procedure) and cyanides (total and
amenable) the nonwastewater treatment standards expressed as a concentration were established, in part, based
upon incineration in units operated in accordance with the technical requirements of sections 33.1-24-05-144 through
33.1-24-05-159, and the applicable requirements under subsection 5 of section 33.1-24-06-16, or based upon
combustion in fuel substitution units operating in accordance with applicable technical requirements. A facility may
comply with these treatment standards according to provisions in subsection 4 of section 33.1-24-05-280. All

concentration standards for nonwastewaters are based on analysis of grab samples.
4 Both cyanides (total) and cyanides (amenable) for nonwastewaters are to be analyzed using Method 9010C or
9012B, found in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods", environmental protection
agency publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in section 33.1-24-01-05, with a sample size of 10 grams
and a distillation time of one hour and fifteen minutes.
5 These constituents are not "underlying hazardous constituents" in characteristic wastes, according to the definition at
subsection 10 of section 33.1-24-05-251.
6 [Reserved]
7 This constituent is not an underlying hazardous constituent as defined in subsection 10 of section 33.1-24-05-251
because its UTS level is greater than its toxicity characteristic level, thus a treated selenium waste would always be
characteristically hazardous, unless it is treated to below its characteristic level.
8 This standard is temporarily deferred for soil exhibiting a hazardous characteristic due to D004 through D011 only.
Note: NA means not applicable.
