Unit Lesson
Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility Requirements
In Unit III, you learned about how hazardous waste is regulated from its creation through its transportation.
Ultimately, our hazardous waste must reach its final destination. It must be treated to make it less hazardous
and/or disposed of in a safe way. RCRA regulations for Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs)
are even more extensive than those for generators and transporters (Pichtel, 2014). These regulations are
found in 40 CFR 264-165 Subparts A through G. āTreatmentā, āStorageā, and āDisposalā all have specific
definitions that are covered in 40 CFR 270.2.
Subpart A
Subpart A of the regulations cover general issues, such as exclusions from 40 CFR 264 and 265. There are a
variety of exclusions, including farmers disposing of waste pesticides from his or her own use, a totally
enclosed treatment facility, and a generator accumulating waste on-site. If a facility does not fall under exempt
status as outlined in Subpart A, the facility is subject to Subpart B.
Subpart B
Subpart B covers general facility standards including recordkeeping requirements, personnel requirements,
and safety requirements. TSDFs must obtain a site-specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ID
number. Before any waste can be treated or disposed of, the facility must obtain a thorough chemical analysis
of a sample of the waste. A waste analysis plan (WAP) must outline the process and include information such
as the sampling methods used, the procedures used for testing, and the frequency of waste re-evaluation
(EPA). Subpart B also requires a TSDF to have specific security in place at the facility, including a 24-hr
surveillance system and barriers surrounding the active portion of the facility (Pichtel, 2014). The facility also
must inspect the facility on a regular basis. The frequency of inspection varies with the facility and the type of
equipment used, as well as the likelihood of an incident if a malfunction were to occur. RCRA specifies
inspection frequencies for certain types of TSDF equipment. For example, loading and unloading area should
be inspected daily, and containment buildings should be inspected weekly (Pichtel, 2014).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Ā
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
Ā
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more āmechanicalā approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Ā
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Ā
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

While the dev and ops silo continues to crumbleā¦.many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

2) Additionally, a specific emergency Plan
called Self-protection Plan is required for those
activities or facilities that fall under Royal De-
cree 393/2007, of March 23, which approves
the Basic Self-protection Plan of centers,
establishments and dependencies dedicated
to activities that may give rise to emergency
situations:
Art. 2 (Annex I) establishes the activities that
fall into the Royal Decree. As an example, activ-
ities where chemicals are stored above several
thereshold limits or buildings where maximum
evacuation height is equal to or greater than
28 meters or with a maximum occupancy is at
least 2,000 people.
The content of the Self-protection plan is de-
veloped in the Basin Rule included in the Royal
Decree and has to be officially registered.
NOTE: Specific requirements have been
established by several Autonomous Regions,
that also affect to the type of activities that are
required to perform a Self-protection plan and
the minimum content, for example Catalonia
(Decree 30/2015, of March 3, approving the
activities and centers that must implement
self-protection measures and establisking their
content).
1) According to Act 31/1995 on Prevention of
Occupational Risks, Article 20, the employer,
taking into account the size and work activities
of the company shall analyze the possible
situations of emergency and shall take the
necessary measures for first aid, fire-fight-
ing and evacuation of workers, designating
for those purposes the workers required
to implement such measures and checking
periodically, where appropriate, their proper
working order. The mentioned personnel must
have the necessary training, must be sufficient
in number and must have at their disposal
adequate equipment in accordance with the
circumstances above mentioned.
Generally, there is no specific requirement in
relation to the number of members, etc. Train-
ing needs are established by Article 34 of Royal
Decree 39/1997 (as amended through Royal
Decree 298/2009 of 6 March 2009 and Royal
Decree 337/2010 of 19 March 2010). Defines

lished for those activities or facilities that fall
under Royal Decree 393/2007, of March 23,
which approves the Basic Self-protection Plan
of centers, establishments and dependencies
dedicated to activities that may give rise to
emergency situations:
Art. 2 (Annex I) establishes the activities that
fall into the Royal Decree. As an example, activ-
ities where chemicals are stored above several
thereshold limits or buildings where maximum
evacuation height is equal to or greater than
28 meters or with a maximum occupancy is at
least 2,000 people.
Point 3.5. of the Basic Rule included in the RD
393/2007, indicates that personnel involved
in the emergency team must be provided with
practical and theorical training (content not
detailed).
Point 3.6. of the Basic Rule included in the RD
393/2007 indicates specific designations.
1) According to Act 31/1995, on Prevention of
Occupational Risks, Article 18(1), the facility
must provide each individual with all of the
necessary information regarding the risks and
preventive measures affecting his/her work-
place, including measures adopted for emer-
gency response (including first aid, fire-fighting
and worker evacuation).
Generally, there is no specific requirement
in relation to emergency drills, including the
periodicity.
2) However, it is especifically required for
those activities or facilities that fall under
Royal Decree 393/2007, of March 23, which
approves the Basic Self-protection Plan of
centers, establishments and dependencies
dedicated to activities that may give rise to
emergency situations:
Art. 2 (Annex I) establishes the activities that
fall into the Royal Decree. As an example,
fall under the Royal Decree activities where
chemicals are stored above several thereshold
limits or buildings where maximum evacuation
height is equal to or greater than 28 meters or
with a maximum occupancy is at least 2,000
people.
Point 3.6.4. of the Basic Rule included in the
RD 393/2007. Drills must be performed at least
annually.
NOTE: Specific requirements have been
established by several Autonomous Regions,
that also affect to the type of activities that are
required to perform a Self-protection plan, for
example Catalonia (Decree 30/2015, of March
3, approving the activities and centers that
must implement self-protection measures and
establisking their content).
1) Generally not required, but if installed, regis-
tering and training processes must be followed
according to Royal Decree 365/2009, de 20 de
marzo, which establishes the conditions and
minimum requirements for safety and quality
in the use of automatic and semi-automatic
external defibrillators outside the health field.

processes are developed by the Autonomous
communities.
2) Several Autonomous Regions require the
installation of AED under several conditions,
for example:
In Madrid, workplaces with more than 250
employees the installation of AED is required
(Decree 78/2017, of September 12, regulating
the installation and use of AED outside the
health field.
In Catalonia, several activities or establisments
where a self-protection Plan is required, must
install AEDs. (Decree 30/2015, of March 3,
approving the activities and centers that must
implement self-protection measures and
establisking their content).
