Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 733 - STANDARDS FOR UNIVERSAL WASTE MANAGEMENT › Subpart G - PETITIONS TO INCLUDE OTHER WASTES › Section 733.181 - Factors for Petitions to Include Other Wastes

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Hazardous Waste Listing or
				Characteristics. The waste or category of waste, as generated by a wide variety
				of generators, is listed in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721, or (if not
				listed) a proportion of the waste stream exhibits one or more characteristics
				of hazardous waste identified in Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721. (When a
				characteristic waste is added to the universal waste regulations of this Part
				by using a generic name to identify the waste category (e.g., batteries), the
				definition of universal waste in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				720.110 and
				Section
				733.109 will be
				amended to include only the hazardous waste portion of the waste category
				(e.g., hazardous waste batteries).) Thus, only the portion of the waste stream
				that does exhibit one or more characteristics (i.e., is hazardous waste) is
				subject to the universal waste regulations of this Part;
b) Generation by a Wide Variety of Types of
				Facilities. The waste or category of waste is not exclusive to a specific
				industry or group of industries, is commonly generated by a wide variety of
				types of establishments (including, for example, households, retail and
				commercial businesses, office complexes, VSQGs, small businesses, or government
				organizations, as well as large industrial facilities);
c) Generation by a Large Number of
				Generators. The waste or category of waste is generated by a large number of
				generators (e.g., more than 1,000 nationally) and is frequently generated in
				relatively small quantities by each generator;
d) Collection Systems to Ensure Close
				Stewardship. Systems to be used for collecting the waste or category of waste
				(including packaging, marking, and labeling practices) would ensure close
				stewardship of the waste;
e) Waste
				Management Standards and Risk to Human Health and the Environment. The risk
				posed by the waste or category of waste during accumulation and transport is
				relatively low compared to other hazardous wastes, and specific management
				standards proposed or referenced by the petitioner (e.g., waste management
				requirements appropriate to be added to Sections
				733.113,
				733.133, and
				733.152; or
				applicable USDOT requirements) would be protective of human health and the
				environment during accumulation and transport;
f) Increased Likelihood of Diversion of Waste
				from Non-Hazardous Waste Management Systems. Regulation of the waste or
				category of waste pursuant to this Part will increase the likelihood that the
				waste will be diverted from non-hazardous waste management systems (e.g., the
				municipal waste stream, non-hazardous industrial or commercial waste stream,
				municipal sewer, or stormwater systems) to recycling, treatment, or disposal in
				compliance with Subtitle C of RCRA ( 42 USC 6921-6939e );
g) Improved Implementation of the Hazardous
				Waste Program. Regulation of the waste or category of waste pursuant to this
				Part will improve implementation of and compliance with the hazardous waste
				regulatory program; or
h) Such
				other factors as may be appropriate.
