# §761.64. Disposal of wastes generated as a result of research and development activities authorized under § 761.30(j) and chemical analysis of PCBs.


This section provides disposal requirements for wastes generated during and as a result of research and development authorized under [§ 761.30(j)](/cfr/40/761.30.md?p=j). This section also provides disposal requirements for wastes generated during the chemical analysis of samples containing PCBs under [part 761](/cfr/40/part761.md), including §§ [761.30](/cfr/40/761.30.md), [761.60](/cfr/40/761.60.md), [761.61](/cfr/40/761.61.md), [761.62](/cfr/40/761.62.md), and [761.79](/cfr/40/761.79.md). For determining the presence of PCBs in samples, chemical analysis includes: sample preparation, sample extraction, extract cleanup, extract concentration, addition of PCB standards, and instrumental analysis.

- (a) Portions of samples of a size designated in a chemical extraction and analysis method for PCBs and extracted for purposes of determining the presence of PCBs or concentration of PCBs are unregulated for PCB disposal under this part.
- (b) All other wastes generated during these activities are regulated for disposal based on their concentration at the time of disposal as follows:
  - (1) Liquid wastes, including rinse solvents, must be disposed of according to [§ 761.61(a)(5)(iv)](/cfr/40/761.61.md?p=a-5-iv).
  - (2) Non-liquid wastes must be disposed of in the same manner as non-liquid cleaning materials and personal protective equipment waste according to [§ 761.61(a)(5)(v)(A)](/cfr/40/761.61.md?p=a-5-v-A).
