#DEVP1108760ARegulation of Treatment Residues in France
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The law regulates the assessment and management of treatment residues in France, specifically regarding their pollutant content and leachability. It establishes limits for various toxic parameters in residues to determine if they can be valorized or treated effectively. If any of the parameters exceed the set limits, the residues cannot be valorized. Additionally, it outlines specific sampling and testing procedures for determining the composition of these residues, ensuring compliance with environmental standards.

Key Changes
- Establishment of pollutant limits for treatment residues
- Requirement for producers to develop formal sampling procedures
- Specification of testing methods to analyze leachability and intrinsic pollutant content
Obligations
What this law requires
Do not valorize treatment residues if any parameter in Annex I Table 1 (leaching behavior) exceeds its limit value, expressed in mg/kg dry matter (As: 0.6, Ba: 56, Cd: 0.05, Cr total: 2, Cu: 50, Hg: 0.01, Mo: 5.6, Ni: 0.5, Pb: 1.6, Sb: 0.7, Se: 0.1, Zn: 50, Fluoride: 60, Chloride: 10,000, Sulfate: 10,000)
Do not valorize treatment residues if any parameter in Annex I Table 2 (intrinsic pollutant content) exceeds its limit value (TOC: 30 g/kg, BTEX: 6 mg/kg, PCB: 1 mg/kg, Hydrocarbons C10-C40: 500 mg/kg, PAH: 50 mg/kg, Dioxins and furans: 10 ng I-TEQOMS,2005/kg dry matter)
Establish a sampling procedure that ensures each element present in treatment residues has an equal probability of inclusion in the laboratory sample as it has in the monthly batch
Formalize the sampling procedure in a written document and transmit it to the operator of the non-hazardous waste storage facility
Make the sampling procedure available to the classified installations inspection and the general tax service on polluting activities for inspection purposes
