For purposes of this contract, final treatment/disposal means either: treatment so that such wastes no longer meet the definition of a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261; or treatment of a waste by a RCRA handling method specified in 40 CFR Parts 264/265 appendix 1, Table 2, paragraph 2. Waste handling costs that describe methods of storage do not meet the definition of final treatment nor final disposal under this contract. Interim treatment of the waste such that the waste still meets the definition of a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261 does not meet the definition of final treatment under this contract. Final disposal means disposal of a waste by a RCRA handling method specified in 40 CFR, parts 264/265, appendix 1, table 2, paragraph 3. All facilities used for interim treatment, final treatment or final disposal of items on this contract shall have as a minimum, an EPA/state approved interim status permit showing EPA hazardous waste numbers described in 40 CFR 261, subparts c and d, for each waste the facility is permitted to handle. 2. Mere acceptance of the hazardous waste at a properly permitted treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSDF) does not meet the definition of final treatment nor final disposal under this contract. It is the contractor's responsibility to obtain all necessary documentation to prove that the final treatment or final disposal of all items (as defined in paragraph a above) has been accomplished. This documentation shall be attached to the certificate of disposal and submitted with, or prior to, the invoices. I. Hazardous and Toxic Wastes Continued...

This includes ensuring Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory hazardous or toxic wastes are sent to licensed, permitted, and approved disposal sites. H. Definition of Final Treatment/Disposal 1. For purposes of this contract, final treatment/disposal means either: treatment so that such wastes no longer meet the definition of a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261; or treatment of a waste by a RCRA handling method specified in 40 CFR Parts 264/265 appendix 1, Table 2, paragraph 2. Waste handling costs that describe methods of storage do not meet the definition of final treatment nor final disposal under this contract. Interim treatment of the waste such that the waste still meets the definition of a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261 does not meet the definition of final treatment under this contract. Final disposal means disposal of a waste by a RCRA handling method specified in 40 CFR, parts 264/265, appendix 1, table 2, paragraph 3. All facilities used for interim treatment, final treatment or final disposal of items on this contract shall have as a minimum, an EPA/state approved interim status permit showing EPA hazardous waste numbers described in 40 CFR 261, subparts c and d, for each waste the facility is permitted to handle. 2. Mere acceptance of the hazardous waste at a properly permitted treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSDF) does not meet the definition of final treatment nor final disposal under this contract. It is the contractor's responsibility to obtain all necessary documentation to prove that the final treatment or final disposal of all items (as defined in paragraph a above) has been accomplished. This documentation shall be attached to the certificate of disposal and submitted with, or prior to, the invoices. I. Hazardous and Toxic Wastes Below is listing of materials and hazardous or toxic wastes that are included in the scope of this contract: 3 ECDs (Ni63 source) small gauge with radium paint numbering on dial monopotassium phosphate (nucleotide P32) in a small NEN bottle benzoic acid (nucleotide C14) in a small NEN bottle U234 sealed source in a small box uranyl acetate (~180g) in a small jar uranyl nitrate (~180g) in a small jar uranyl acetate (~600g) in a jar 4 (4"x1"x1") liquid vials (nucleotide Ra226) in a box. J. Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility Plan. 1. The Contractor shall identify each treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF) which may perform treatment, storage or disposal services under this contract. Each facility must have, as a minimum, EPA RCRA interim status or state approval as a treatment or disposal facility and be in good standing with the regulatory community. The contractor agrees that no facility other than those initially approved for use under this contract will be used, without first obtaining the written approval of the Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory. The appropriate permit/license number, name and address of the permitting/licensing agency shall be provided. 2. The TSDFs approved for use under this contract are only approved subject to all services being performed in accordance with all federal state and local laws and regulations and the TSDF's permit. The contractor must have the capability to meet the removal and disposal timeframes required by the contract for all waste streams identified in Section 2.1.13 as a minimum. At least one interim storage facility for each waste stream identified in Section 2.1.13 shall be included in the proposal. K. Manifesting and Shipping Documents 1. A uniform hazardous waste manifest is required for the removal from Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory property of all hazardous or toxic items. The contractor shall obtain and review all manifests for completeness and accuracy prior to removal of any hazardous or toxic wastes from Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory property. The contractor shall provide the Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory with a copy of the manifest(s), land disposal restriction notification(s), and any other shipping documents for review at least 24 hours prior to removal, whenever possible. The pickup manifests will be reviewed and signed by the appropriate Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory official. Completed copies of all manifests shall be furnished to the Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory, as well as submitted as attachments to all invoices.

The contractor is required to provide the Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory with two (2) copies of any manifest which documents the movement of Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory waste after it has departed the property within 30 calendar days after acceptance at the accepting facility. For example, if waste is shipped from the storage site to a facility for storage or treatment, which does not meet the definition of final disposal, then a manifest detailing the acceptance of the waste into the additional facility must be provided within the prescribed timeframe. 3. Each manifest, as well as other documentation required herein shall be clearly and distinctly marked with the contract number and delivery order number as applicable. If blocks are not provided, the contract and delivery order information shall be placed in the upper right-hand corner of each document. L. Segregation of Hazardous Waste All items collected on this contract must be segregated and kept physically separate from any other items until the initial treatment, storage disposal facility (TSDF) is reached. The items must be so marked, that they are readily identified to this contract throughout this period. In addition, the contractor must ensure that there is a clear audit trail for all items until final treatment/disposal is accomplished. M. Statement on Containers The Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory does not warrant that the containers are suitable for transportation in accordance with DOT regulations. The offeror is cautioned to ascertain and assess the need for overpacking or recontainerizing based on the site visit. N.

Analysis must include determination if hazardous or toxic waste is to be treated, recycled, or ultimately disposed of in a landfill and cost benefits of such determination. Analyses will be provided to the Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory and method of ultimate disposal will be whichever is most cost effective and agreed upon by the contractor and Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory representative. Q. Treatment of Hazardous Waste on Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory Property Treatment of hazardous waste (including solidification) on Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory property is not permitted. Treatment is defined as any process which meets the definition of treatment as set forth in applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. R. Hours of Operation The contractor agrees that, for those portions of the services provided on Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory property, the services will be provided during the normal hours of operations for the Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory facility. The normal hours of operations for those facilities included under this contract are available, upon request. S. Loading The contractor is responsible for loading, including furnishing all the equipment necessary for loading. Unless otherwise provided in the contract, loading will not be performed on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or any day that the facility where the items are located is closed. T. Reports 1.
