Current through June, 2024
When used in this chapter the following terms have the
					 meanings given below:
(a) "Halogenated
				  organic compounds" or "HOCs" means those compounds having a carbon-halogen bond
				  which are listed under appendix III to this chapter.
(b) "Hazardous constituent" or "constituents"
				  means those constituents listed in appendix VIII to chapter 11-261.
(c) "Land disposal'' means placement in or on
				  the land, except in a corrective action management unit, and includes, but is
				  not limited to, placement in a landfill, surface impoundment, waste pile,
				  injection well, land treatment facility, salt dome formation, salt bed
				  formation, underground mine or cave, or placement in a concrete vault, or
				  bunker intended for disposal purposes.
(d) "Nonwastewaters" are wastes that do not
				  meet the criteria for wastewaters in subsection (f).
(e) "Polychlorinated biphenyls" or "PCBs" are
				  halogenated organic compounds defined in accordance with
				  40
				  CFR 761.3(1998).
(f) "Wastewaters" are wastes that contain
				  less than one percent by weight total organic carbon (TOC) and less than one
				  percent by weight total suspended solids (TSS).
(g) "Debris'' means solid material exceeding
				  a 60 mm particle size that is intended for disposal and that is: A manufactured
				  object; or plant or animal matter; or natural geologic material. However, the
				  following materials are not debris: Any material for which a specific treatment
				  standard is provided in subchapter D, chapter 11-268, namely lead acid
				  batteries, cadmium batteries, and radioactive lead solids; Process residuals
				  such as smelter slag and residues from the treatment of waste, wastewater,
				  sludges, or air emission residues; and Intact containers of hazardous waste
				  that are not ruptured and that retain at least 75% of their original volume. A
				  mixture of debris that has not been treated to the standards provided by
				  section 11-268-45 and other material is subject to regulation as debris if the
				  mixture is comprised primarily of debris, by volume, based on visual
				  inspection.
(h) ''Hazardous
				  debris'' means debris that contains a hazardous waste listed in subchapter D of
				  chapter 11-261, or that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste identified
				  in subchapter C of chapter 11-261.
(i) "Underlying hazardous constituent" means
				  any constituent listed in section 11-268-48, Table UTS-Universal Treatment
				  Standards, except fluoride, vanadium, and zinc, which can reasonably be
				  expected to be present at the point of generation of the hazardous waste, at a
				  concentration above the constituent-specific UTS treatment standards.
(j) "Inorganic metal-bearing waste" is one
				  for which EPA has established treatment standards for metal hazardous
				  constituents, and which does not otherwise contain significant organic or
				  cyanide content as described in section 11-268-3(c)(1), and is specifically
				  listed in appendix XI.
