PART 265_INTERIM STATUS STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE 
 
                        Subpart M_Land Treatment
 
Sec. 265.273  Waste analysis.

    In addition to the waste analyses required by Sec. 265.13, before 
placing a hazardous waste in or on a land treatment facility, the owner 
or operator must:
    (a) Determine the concentrations in the waste of any substances 
which equal or exceed the maximum concentrations contained in Table 1 of 
Sec. 261.24 of this chapter that cause a waste to exhibit the Toxicity 
Characteristic;
    (b) For any waste listed in part 261, subpart D, of this chapter, 
determine the concentrations of any substances which caused the waste to 
be listed as a hazardous waste; and
    (c) If food chain crops are grown, determine the concentrations in 
the waste of each of the following constituents: arsenic, cadmium, lead, 
and mercury, unless the owner or operator has written, documented data 
that show that the constituent is not present.

[Comment: Part 261 of this chapter specifies the substances for which a 
waste is listed as a hazardous waste. As required by Sec. 265.13, the 
waste analysis plan must include analyses needed to comply with 
Sec. Sec. 265.281 and 265.282. As required by Sec. 265.73, the owner 
or operator must place the results from each waste analysis, or the 
documented information, in the operating record of the facility.]
