				  Listing Specific Definitions:
(1) For the
				  purposes of the F037 and F038 listings, oil/water/solids is defined as oil
				  and/or water and/or solids.
(2)
(A) For the purposes of the F037 and F038
				  listings, aggressive biological treatment units are defined as units which
				  employ one of the following four treatment methods: activated sludge; trickling
				  filter; rotating biological contactor for the continuous accelerated biological
				  oxidation of wastewaters; or high-rate aeration. High-rate aeration is a system
				  of surface impoundments or tanks, in which intense mechanical aeration is used
				  to completely mix the wastes, enhance biological activity, and:
1. The unit employs a minimum of six
				  horsepower per million gallons of treatment volume; and
2.
a. The
				  hydraulic retention time of the unit is no longer than five days; or
b. The hydraulic retention time is no longer
				  than 30 days and the unit does not generate a sludge that is a hazardous waste
				  by the Toxicity Characteristic.
(B) Generators and treatment, storage and
				  disposal facilities have the burden of proving that sludges generated or
				  managed by the generator or facility are exempt from listing as F037 and F038
				  wastes under this definition. Generators and treatment, storage and disposal
				  facilities shall maintain, in the facility operating or other onsite records,
				  documents and data sufficient to prove that:
1. The unit is an aggressive biological
				  treatment unit as defined in this subsection; and
2. The sludges sought to be exempted from the
				  definitions of F037 and/or F038 wastes were actually generated in the
				  aggressive biological treatment unit.
(3)
(A) For
				  the purposes of the F037 listing, sludges are considered to be generated at the
				  moment of deposition in the unit, where deposition is defined as at least a
				  temporary cessation of lateral particle movement.
(B) For the purposes of the F038 listing:
1. Sludges are considered to be generated at
				  the moment of deposition in the unit, where deposition is defined as at least a
				  temporary cessation of lateral particle movement; and
2. Floats are considered to be generated at
				  the moment of formation in the top of the
				  unit.
