Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 1422 - DESIGN AND OPERATION OF FACILITIES › Subpart C - TREATMENT FACILITIES › Section 1422.124 - Initial Efficacy Test

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
				manufacturer, owner, or operator of a treatment unit must conduct an Initial
				Efficacy Test, under Appendix A, for each model prior to its operation. If
				significant mechanical changes are made to a treatment unit, the Initial
				Efficacy Test must be repeated. Treatment units are the same model if they:
1) Are manufactured by the same
				company;
2) Have the same capacity;
				and
3) Have no significant
				mechanical changes.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 1422 - DESIGN AND OPERATION OF FACILITIES › Subpart C - TREATMENT FACILITIES › Section 1422.125 - Periodic Verification Tests

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				The effectiveness of the treatment unit is verified by the Periodic
				Verification Tests. The manufacturer, owner, or operator of a treatment unit
				must perform Periodic Verification Tests that satisfy at least one of the
				following:
1) Passing the Initial Efficacy
				Test by using Option 1, 2, or 3 (see Appendix A) (whichever is applicable). The
				three challenge loads described in Appendix A, Table C do not need to be used.
				The test microorganisms or indicator microorganisms must be placed in a
				representative load in compliance with Section
				1422.124(e)(1).
				For example, an autoclave may use Option 3 (e.g., demonstrate the destruction
				of 1,000,000 Bacillus stearothermophilus spores) to meet the Periodic
				Verification Test requirement. In the case of an incinerator, a stainless steel
				pipe with threaded ends and removable caps lined with a ceramic insulation may
				be used to contain a glass culture vial with Bacillus subtilis spore strips.
				The pipe with the spore strips may be placed in a load of PIMW for the Periodic
				Verification Test. After the treatment, the pipe with the spore strips may be
				recovered and the spores may be cultured to assess whether 1,000,000 spores
				have been destroyed to meet the Periodic Verification Test
				requirement.
2) Correlating the log
				kill of the test microorganisms in the Initial Efficacy Test to an equivalent
				log kill of the indicator microorganism spores in compliance with Appendix B.
				The equivalent log kill of the indicator microorganism spores must be used for
				all subsequent Periodic Verification Tests. The correlation must be done with
				the three challenge loads identified in Appendix A, Table C. (See subsection
				(b) for further requirements.); or
3) Submitting and obtaining written approval
				by the Agency for a procedure that is equivalent to subsection (a)(2).
A) Examples of alternatives include use of
				another indicator microorganism or measurement of disinfectant concentrations
				in the treated residue.
B) For
				incinerators only, an example of an alternative is visually inspecting the ash
				from each load of treated PIMW to ensure that all PIMW within the load is
				completely combusted.
C) The
				approval of an alternative by the Agency may require more frequent testing and
				monitoring of the treatment unit.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 1422 - DESIGN AND OPERATION OF FACILITIES › Subpart C - TREATMENT FACILITIES › Section 1422.126 - Sharps

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Sharps may not be disposed of in a landfill unless they have
				  been treated to eliminate the infectious potential and:
a) Have been rendered unrecognizable and
				therefore are no longer PIMW; or
b)
				Have been:
1) Packaged, marked, and labeled
				in compliance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 1421. Subparts C and D;
2) Delivered by a transporter with a PIMW
				hauling permit as required by 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				1420.105,
				unless specifically exempted; and
3) Accompanied by a PIMW manifest as required
				by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 1420.105, unless specifically
				exempted.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The Agency
				may issue Experimental Permits for processes or techniques that do not satisfy
				the standards in this Subpart if the applicant can provide proof that the
				process or technique has a reasonable chance for success and that the
				environmental hazards are minimal. The description must include the type of
				residuals anticipated and how they will be managed and disposed of.
b) A valid Experimental Permit is a prima
				facie defense to any action brought against the permit holder for a violation
				of the Act or regulations promulgated under the Act, but only to the extent
				that the action is based upon the failure of the process or
				technique.
c) All Experimental
				Permits have a duration not to exceed two years. These permits can only be
				renewed once. Original experimental permits and renewals granted to any person
				cannot exceed a total of four years.
d) Application for renewal of an experimental
				permit must be submitted to the Agency at least 90 days prior to the expiration
				of the existing permit. The applicant must note in its renewal application
				whether the information to be supplied for renewal is identical with that
				contained in the prior permit application. The Agency may not require the
				resubmittal of data and information previously supplied to it.
e) A report must be submitted at the end of
				the experimental permit period, or as required by the Agency, which must
				include the following:
1) A summary of
				operating data, including results of the Initial Efficacy Tests or Periodic
				Verification Tests;
2) A discussion
				of how the equipment performed;
3)
				A discussion of how residuals were managed; and
4) A demonstration that the infectious
				potential has been eliminated.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 1422 - DESIGN AND OPERATION OF FACILITIES › Subpart C - TREATMENT FACILITIES › Appendix B - Correlating Periodic Verification Test Procedures

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) A certified microbiological indicator assay containing the
				  test microorganisms and indicator microorganism spores is introduced into each
				  challenge load as identified in Appendix A, Table C.
b) Place the test microorganisms and indicator microorganism
				  spores in a sealed container that remains intact during treatment.
c) Place the container in each challenge load to simulate the
				  worst case scenario (i.e., that part of the load that is the most difficult to
				  treat). For example, the worst case scenario for an autoclave would be to place
				  the test microorganisms and indicator microorganism spores container within a
				  sharps container that must in turn be deposited in a plastic biohazard bag that
				  is then located centrally within the treatment unit.
d) Calculate the log kill of the test microorganisms
				  compliant with Option 2 of Appendix A to determine the effectiveness of the
				  treatment unit. The equivalent log kill of the indicator microorganism spores
				  is calculated by subtracting the log of viable cells after treatment from the
				  log of viable cells introduced into the treatment unit as the inoculum as
				  follows:
TA = Log No - Log N2A [GREATER THAN OR EQUAL
				  TO] 3
where: TA is the equivalent log kill of the viable
				  indicator microorganisms (CFU) after treatment in challenge load Type A.
No is the number of viable indicator microorganism
				  spores (CFU) introduced into the treatment unit as the inoculum ([GREATER THAN
				  OR EQUAL TO] 6)
N2A is the number of viable indicator
				  microorganism (CFU) remaining after treatment in challenge load Type A.
e) Repeat steps (a) through (d) for challenge loads Types B
				  and C identified in Appendix A, Table C to determine the correlation between
				  the log kill of the test microorganisms and the equivalent kill of the
				  indicator microorganism spores (LB and LC, respectively).

d)
If a person conducts a remedial
				action activity for a release at a drycleaning facility site, whether or not
				the person files a claim under
the DERT Fund Act or this Part
,
				the claim and remedial action activity conducted are not evidence of liability
				or an admission of liability for any potential or actual environmental
				pollution or damage.
[415 ILCS
				135/55(b) ]
e)
The Fund, including insurance
				coverage offered under the insurance account, is not subject to the provisions
				of the Illinois Insurance Code.
Regardless of
any other
				provision of law, the Fund

not be considered an insurance
				company or an insurer under the laws of this State and
will
not be a member of nor be entitled to a claim against the Illinois
				Insurance Guaranty Fund.

				135/35 ]
