Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 248 / Wednesday, December 24, 2008 / Notices
noted above, which assessed spent oil
shale disposed of at Anvil Points for
over thirty years, and discussed in the
report, Final Draft Engineering/Cost
Analysis for Waste Shale and
Impoundments at U.S. Navy Oil Reserve
1 & 3 March 2005, indicates that spent
oil shale samples did not exhibit the
corrosivity characteristic when tested
for the hazardous characteristic of
corrosivity. Also, because oil shale
undergoing above ground retorting is
subject to high heat where destructive
distillation occurs and results in most
organics and hydrogen being removed,
it is not likely from a chemical
standpoint that spent oil shale could be
corrosive.
4. Reactivity
Based on the review of the literature
noted above, the Agency has not found
any information that identifies spent oil
shale as potentially reactive. Review of
the BLM Anvil Points studies do not
indicate that spent oil shale disposed of
in piles over long periods of time ever
became reactive. Based on our review of
the data noted above, it is not likely
from a chemical standpoint that spent
oil shale could be reactive.
D. Conclusion
The regulatory status of spent oil
shale, from above ground retorting
operations was determined as part of the
1989 final Bevill rulemaking. Spent oil
shale from above ground oil shale
operations is not Bevill-exempt. The
Agency believes this NODA’s clear
statement will have little practical
effect, because it believes—based on the
data described in this notice—that spent
oil shale from above ground retorting
operations are very unlikely to be
hazardous under RCRA Subtitle C. EPA
seeks additional data relevant to this
conclusion and seeks comment on the
data presented that supports our
conclusion.
