All information Ln this sectionmust be entered by line number. Aseparate line entry is required foreach different waste or mixture ofwastes that your facility receivedduring the reporting year. Thehanctling code applicable to that wasteat the end of the reporting yearshould be reported. If a differenthandling code applies to portions ofthe same waste (e.g., part of thewaste is stored while the remainderwa s "chemically fixed" during theyear), use a sep3rate line entry foreach po r t ion.

AppendiA LV--Tests for Significance
As ~equired in §265.93(b) theowner or operator must use theSt~dent'2 Z-test to determinestatisticallj significant changes inthe concentration or value of anindicator parameter in periodicground-water samples wh~n comnared tothe initial background concentration~: value o~ that indicator parameter.Lne co~parlson must considerindiVidually each of the wells in themonitoring system. For three of theindicator parameters (specificcond~ctance, total organic cargon, andtotal organic halogen) a single-~ailed
Student's t-test must be used to-testat the 0.01 level of significance for~ig~ifica~t increases over... -s r- _~ .'-~-.~ - ..-0
pH ~ust ~e ~ =wo-t2iled Stucent'st-test at the over~ll 0.01 level ofsigni£ance ..
The student's t-test involvescalculation or the value of at-statistic for each comparison of themean (average) concentration or value(based on a minimu~ of four replicateme?-surements) of an indicator?arameter with its initial ~ackground
concentration or value. Thecalculated value of the t-statisticmust then be compared to the value ofthe t-statistic ~ound in a table fort-test 0: ::i;~i:icance at thespecified level of significance. Acalculated value of t which exceedsthe value of t found in the tableindicat~s ~ st3tistically si~nificant
chan~e in the concentration or valueof the indicator parameter.
?o~ulae for calculation of thet-statistic and tables for t-test ofsi~nificance can be found in mostintroductory statistics texts.

It is possible for potentiallyincompatible wastes to be mixed in away that precludes a reaction(e.g.,adding acid to water rather than water~o acid) or that neutralizes them(e.g., a strong acid mixed with astrong base), or that controlssubstances produced (e.g., bygenerating flammable gases in a closedtank equipped so that ignition cannotoccur, and burning the gases in ani.ncinerator).
In the lists below, the mixing of3 Group A material with a Group B~aterial may have the potentialconsequence as noted.

The PartB information requirements presentedin §§122.14-l22.29 reflect thestandards promulgated in Part 264.These information requirements arenecessary .1n order for DNREC todetermine compliance with the Part 264standards. It
is recommended that the applicantscontact DNREC for information onthe format of Part B applications.
If owners and operators ofHWM facilities can domonstrate thatthe information prescribed in Part Bcan not be provided to the extentrequired. the Secretary may make t-allowance for submission of such '-

permittee to a new owner or operatoronly if the permf t has been modifiedor revoked and reissued (under§122.4l(b) (2»), or a minormodification made (under §122.42(d)),to identify the new permittee andincorporate such other requirements asmay be necessary under the DelawareCode.
When the Secretary receives anyinformation (for example, inspects thefacility, receives informationsubmitted by the permittee as requiredin the permit (see §122.30), receivesa request for modification orrevocation and reissuance under§124.5, or conducts a review of thepermit file) he or she may determinewhether or not one or more of thecauses listed in paragraphs (a) and(b) of this section for modification,or revocation and reissuance or bothexist. If cause exists) the Secretarymay modLf y or revoke and reissue thepe rmL t acco rdI ng Ly , subject to thelimitations of paragraph (c) of thissection, and may request an updatedapplication if necessary. w"11en apermit is modified, only theconditions subject to modification arereopened. If a permit is revoked andreissued, the entire permit isreopened and subject to revision andthe permit is rei ssued f o r a new term(see §124.5(c)(2). If cause cioes nceexist under this section or §122.42,the Secretarj shall not modify orrevoke and reissue the permi t , If apermit modification satisfies thecriteria in §122.42 for a mf no rmodification, the pe~it may bemodified without a draft permit orpublic r e v i ew, Ot herx..1se, a draftpermit must be prepared and otherprocedures in Part 124 followed.
