Federal Chemical-Specific
Requirements
Safe Drinking Water Act This law establishes treatment standards GW, VZ X[b] X[b]
(SDWA) for current potential drinking water sources by
[42 USCA 300] setting Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and
[40 CFR 141.11-141.16; non-zero Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs), X[b]
141.50-141.51] which are used as cleanup standards. Those standards
for the LLNL site are listed in Table 1 of the ROD.
Clean Air Act (CAA) National primary and secondary ambient air GW, VZ X[c]
[42 USCA 7401-7642] quality stecondary ambient air quality standards X[c]
[40 CFR 50-69] (NAAQS) are defined under Section 109 of the CAA
and are listed in 40 CFR 50.
Clean Air Act National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air GW, VZ X[c]
[42 USCA 7412] Pollutants (NESHAPs) are specific to industrial X[c]
[40 CFR 61.92] emissions. 40 CFR 61.92 limits emissions of
radionuclides to those amounts that would cause
any member of the public to receive, in any
one year, a maximum effective dose equivalent
of 10 millirem per year.
Federal Action-Specific

Resource Conservation Requires that a facility be closed in a manner GW, VZ X[b]
Recovery Act (RCRA) which minimizes the need for further maintenance X[b]

[40 CFR 264.111] environment. Applicable to hazardous waste
management facilities.
RCRA Requires removal of all hazardous waste and waste GW, VZ X[b]
[40 CFR 264.178] residues from containment systems. Although the X[b]
treatment facilities and thermal system are not
considered containment systems, this closure
requirement will be considered RAR.
Action: Pump and Treat
RCRA Design and operating standards for tank systems. GW, VZ X[b]
[40 CFR 264.190-192] Tank systems may be used for pump and treat X[b]
alternatives.

RCRA These regulations apply to owners or operators of VZ X[b]
[40 CFR 265.373-381] facilities that thermally treat hazardous waste in
devices other than enclosed devices that use
controlled flame combustion.

Waste RCRA haulers. In the event of a discharge during X[b]
[40 CFR 263] transportation, the transporter must take immediate
action to protect human health and the environment
(263.30) and clean up the discharge such that it no
longer presents a hazard (263.31). Generated waste
being transported to an offsite disposal facility
would be subject to this requirement.

OSWER Directive 9355.0-28 Establishes guidance on the control of air emissions GW, VZ X[e]
from air strippers used at Superfund sites for ground X[e]
water treatment. This is a nonpromulgated directive and
