d) The list of emergency coordinators
				changes; or
e) The list of
				emergency equipment changes.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Analysis
1) Before an owner or operator
				treats, stores, or disposes of any hazardous wastes, or non-hazardous wastes if
				applicable under Section
				724.213(d),
				the owner or operator must obtain a detailed chemical and physical analysis of
				a representative sample of the wastes. At a minimum, the analysis must contain
				all the information that must be known to treat, store, or dispose of the waste
				in accordance with this Part and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.
2) The analysis may include data developed
				under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 and existing published or documented data on the
				hazardous waste or on hazardous waste generated from similar processes.
BOARD NOTE: For example, the facility's records of analyses
				  performed on the waste before the effective date of these regulations or
				  studies conducted on hazardous waste generated from processes similar to that
				  which generated the waste to be managed at the facility may be included in the
				  data base required to comply with subsection (a)(1). The owner or operator of
				  an off-site facility may arrange for the generator of the hazardous waste to
				  supply part or all of the information required by subsection (a)(1), except as
				  otherwise specified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  728.107(b)
				  and (c). If the generator does not supply the
				  information, and the owner or operator chooses to accept a hazardous waste, the
				  owner or operator is responsible for obtaining the information required to
				  comply with this Section.
3)
				The analysis must be repeated as necessary to ensure that it is accurate and up
				to date. At a minimum, the analysis must be repeated as follows:
A) When the owner or operator is notified, or
				has reason to believe, that the process or operation generating the hazardous
				waste, or non-hazardous waste if applicable under Section
				724.213(d),
				has changed; and
B) For off-site
				facilities, when the results of the inspection required in subsection (a)(4)
				indicate that the hazardous waste received at the facility does not match the
				waste designated on the accompanying manifest or shipping
				paper.
4) The owner or
				operator of an off-site facility must inspect and, if necessary, analyze each
				hazardous waste shipment received at the facility to determine whether it
				matches the identity of the waste specified on the accompanying manifest or
				shipping paper.

				facility, unless the owner or operator demonstrates the following to the
				Agency:
1) That physical contact with the
				waste, structures or equipment within the active portion of the facility will
				not injure unknowing or unauthorized persons or livestock that may enter the
				active portion of a facility; and
