## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is today granting three site-specific treatment variances from the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) treatment standards for selenium-bearing hazardous wastes generated by the glass manufacturing industry. EPA is granting these variances because the chemical properties of the wastes differ significantly from those from the waste used to establish the current LDR standard for selenium (5.7 mg/L, as measured by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)), and the petitions have adequately demonstrated that the wastes cannot be treated to meet this treatment standard. In the first action, EPA is granting a variance to Heritage Environmental Services LLC (Heritage) to stabilize a selenium-bearing hazardous waste generated by Guardian Industries Corp. (Guardian) at their RCRA permitted facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. With promulgation of this final rule, Heritage may treat the Guardian waste to an alternate treatment standard of 39.4 mg/L, as measured by the TCLP. Heritage may dispose of the treated waste in a RCRA Subtitle C landfill, provided they meet the applicable LDR treatment standards for the other hazardous constituents in the waste. In the second and third actions, EPA is permanently establishing two site-specific variances from the Land Disposal Restrictions treatment standards for Chemical Waste Management Inc. (CWM), at their Kettleman Hills facility in Kettleman City, California, for two selenium-bearing hazardous wastes. EPA previously granted treatment variances to these wastes on a temporary basis. CWM will continue to be required to treat these two specific wastes to alternative treatment standards of 51 mg/L, as measured by the TCLP, for the Owens-Brockway waste, and 25 mg/L, as measured by the TCLP, for the St. Gobain (formerly Ball Foster) waste. CWM may dispose of the treated wastes in a RCRA Subtitle C landfill provided they meet the applicable LDR treatment standards for the other ha
