The permit application for a stationary soil treatment
facility shall include a soil sampling and analysis plan which describes the
sampling procedures necessary to properly characterize both contaminated and
treated soils managed at the facility. The plan shall ensure that
representative samples of the soils are obtained which exhibit the chemical
concentrations of contaminants in the soils and that a sufficient number of
these samples are collected to represent the variability of the contaminants in
the soils.
(1) The plan shall include
documentation that all sampling and analyses under this rule shall be performed
in accordance with Chapter 62-160, F.A.C., and that all analyses shall be
conducted with detection limits which are at or below both the relevant soil
cleanup target levels in Table II of Chapter 62-777, F.A.C., and the applicable
ground water or surface water standards or criteria for the chemicals of
concern in the soil.
(2) The plan
shall include a detailed description of the procedures which will be used to
obtain representative soil samples and of the planned sample collection
frequencies. This description shall apply to soil both before and after
treatment. Unless otherwise specified in this section or in the soil sampling
and analysis plan, the procedures contained in EPA Publication SW-846, Chapter
Nine, "Sampling Plan, " shall be used.
(3) General plan requirements. The plan shall
include a detailed description of the contaminants reasonably expected to be
present in the contaminated soils which will be treated by the facility and the
test methods that will be used to analyze the soils for these parameters both
before and after treatment. Unless otherwise specified in this chapter, both
the pretreatment and post-treatment testing requirements shall be based upon
the contaminants reasonably expected to be present in the contaminated
soils.
(4) Pretreatment testing for
petroleum contaminated soil. In the description of the pretreatment testing
planned for petroleum contaminated soil, the following apply:
(a) For petroleum contaminated soil from
sites which have an approved Site Assessment Report according to the
requirements of Chapter 62-770, F.A.C., existing data from the site assessment
may be used, if documented on Form
62-713.900(3),
in lieu of separate pretreatment analyses, or
(b) The sampling frequency contained in Table
A shall be the minimum allowed, analyses shall be documented with the
laboratory reports, and the following test parameters shall be included:
1. Volatile organic halocarbons,
2. Total recoverable petroleum
hydrocarbons,
3. Total analyses for
arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead; and,
4. For soils contaminated with used oil,
analysis for total organic halogens shall also be
required.
(5)
Pretreatment testing for non-petroleum contaminated soil. In the description of
the pretreatment testing planned for non-petroleum contaminated soil, the
following apply:
(a) For non-petroleum
contaminated soil from a site which has a Site Assessment Report previously
approved by the Department, or a similar site assessment document previously
approved by the Department, existing data from the site assessment may be used,
if documented on Form
62-713.900(3),
in lieu of separate pretreatment analyses, or
(b) In the description of the pretreatment
testing planned for non-petroleum contaminated soil, the sampling frequency
contained in Table A shall be the minimum allowed, analyses shall be documented
with the laboratory reports, and the following test parameters shall be
included, unless the facility owner or operator demonstrates that one or more
of these parameters are not reasonably expected to be present in the
contaminated soil:
1. Volatile organic
compounds,
2. Semi-volatile organic
compounds,
3. Pesticides;
and,
4. Total analyses for arsenic,
barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium and
silver.
(6)
Post-treatment testing. Post-treatment testing shall be designed to ensure the
facility is achieving the requirements for evaluation and use of treated soil
in Rule
62-713.520, F.A.C. In the
description of the post-treatment testing, the following apply:
(a) The following sampling frequencies shall
be used:
1. For volatile organic compounds, at
least one discrete soil sample shall be collected every 400 tons of treated
soil; and,
2. For all other
chemicals or compounds, when continuous flow treatment processes are used, a
treated soil sample shall be collected at least hourly and composited over an
eight operational hour maximum time interval or at least once every 400 tons,
whichever is less. If batch treatment processes are used, then a treated soil
composite sample, consisting of at least four randomly selected sub-samples,
shall be collected no less than once every 400 tons of treated
soil.
(b) For petroleum
contaminated soil, the following test parameters shall be included and all
analyses shall be documented with the laboratory reports:
1. Volatile organic aromatics,
2. Total recoverable petroleum
hydrocarbons,
3. Polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons; and,
4.
Total analyses for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead.
(c) For non-petroleum contaminated soil, the
same test parameters as are required in paragraph (b), of subsection (5), shall
be included and all analyses shall be documented with the laboratory
reports.
(d) Leachability impacts.
In addition to the testing requirements above, post-treatment testing shall
include an analysis of the potential leachability impacts from the treated soil
and all analyses shall be documented with the laboratory reports. When
evaluating leachability impacts from a treated soil, the concentrations of
contaminants detected in the post-treatment analysis of the treated soil shall
be compared to the corresponding soil cleanup target levels for leachability
based on ground water and surface water criteria identified in Table II of
Chapter 62-777, F.A.C. As an alternative, leachability of treated soil can also
be evaluated using the Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP), EPA
Method 1312, or the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), EPA
Method 1311 for soil which was contaminated with used oil or similar petroleum
products, and extracts generated by using these procedures shall be analyzed
for the contaminants detected in the post-treatment analysis of the treated
soil. Results of the analysis of the extracts shall be compared to the ground
water and surface water criteria columns in Table I of Chapter 62-777,
F.A.C.
(7)
Polychlorinated biphenyls. Soil contaminated with used oil, used hydraulic oil,
or used mineral oil may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Applicants
should be aware that such contaminated soil may be regulated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency under 40 CFR Part
761 . Such soil containing
PCBs shall not be treated pursuant to this chapter at a soil treatment facility
unless the following conditions are met:
(a)
Soil contaminated with used oil, used hydraulic oil, or used mineral oil shall
be analyzed for PCB concentrations. Soil PCB concentrations must be less than
50 ppm. Such soil shall not be blended, mixed or diluted to meet this
specification.
(b) If the
analytical results obtained pursuant to paragraph (a), above, are equal to or
greater than 2 ppm, a sample of the used oil, used hydraulic oil, or used
mineral oil source must be shown to have a PCB concentration of less than 50
ppm. If a sample of the used oil, used hydraulic oil, or used mineral oil is
not available, a previous record of laboratory data and analytical results may
be utilized to show the PCB concentration in the used oil, used hydraulic oil,
or used mineral oil. If, after a reasonable effort, a previous record of
laboratory data and analytical results cannot be located, and the basis for not
being able to obtain this information is documented in writing and maintained
with the facility's operational records, then the soil may be treated in
accordance with paragraph (a), above.
(8) Additional metals leachability testing.
If the total concentration of a metal in a soil sample, which has been analyzed
according to the requirements of Rule
62-713.510, F.A.C., exceeds its
corresponding total metal concentration in Table B, then a TCLP test shall be
required for the metal in that soil.
