Abstract
Section 3001(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) excludes cement kiln dust (CKD) from regulation under Subtitle C of RCRA, pending completion of a Report to Congress and a determination by EPA either to promulgate regulations under Subtitle C or that such regulations are unwarranted. EPA completed its Report to Congress in December 1993 (EPA 1993a) and issued its determination on cement kiln dust in February 1995 (60 FR 7366). EPA's February 1995 determination concluded that additional control of CKD is warranted to protect the public from human health risks and to prevent environmental damages resulting from current CKD disposal practices. Citing damages to ground water and health risks from inhalation of airborne CKD and ingestion via food chain pathways, EPA determined that it will use its existing authority under the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and RCRA to address potential contaminant releases from CKD (EPA 1995). As part of development of the proposed regulations for CKD, EPA recognized a need to better design and operate CKD landfills. This technical background document (TBD) presents an evaluation of the landfill design elements being considered by EPA for inclusion in the proposed rule. This TBD is organized into six sections. Section 1 identifies the objectives and methodology of this TBD; Section 2 provides a justification for using fly ash landfills as a surrogate for CKD landfills in this evaluation; Section 3 identifies the landfill design elements which are being evaluated and describes EPA's proposed standards for CKD landfill design; Section 4 discusses how the coal ash landfills were identified for further study and describes the characteristics and enviromental settings of the fly ash landfills selected for this study; Section 5 presents the results of the landfill design element analysis; and Section 6 summarizes the findings and conclusions. A list of references cited is provided at the end of the report.
