Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 808 - SPECIAL WASTE CLASSIFICATIONS › Subpart A - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 808.110 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
"Act" means the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5
				  ].
"Agency" means the Illinois Environmental Protection
				  Agency.
"Btu" or "British thermal unit" means the quantity of heat
				  required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree
				  Fahrenheit.
"Board" means the Illinois Pollution Control Board.
"Carcinogen" means a chemical, or complex mixture of closely
				  related chemicals, which has been determined in accordance with USEPA
				  Guidelines for Carcinogenic Risk Assessment, incorporated by reference at
				  Section
				  808.111,
				  to have either sufficient or limited human evidence or sufficient animal
				  evidence supporting a causal association between exposure to the chemical and
				  an increase in incidence of benign or malignant neoplasms or substantial
				  decrease in the latancy period between exposure and onset of neoplasms.
"Declassified waste" means a waste which has been determined
				  pursuant to Section
				  808.245
				  to not be a special waste.
"Degree of hazard" is determined pursuant to Section
				  808.245.
"Hazardous waste" or "RCRA hazardous waste" is as defined in
				  35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.
"LC50" means that concentration of a
				  substance administered to test organisms that is lethal to 50 percent of a
				  population of exposed organisms in a given time period. "Inhalation rat" means
				  that the substance is administered by inhalation and the test organisms are
				  laboratory rats. "Aquatic toxicity" means that the substance is administered in
				  water to specified free-swimming test organisms.
"LD50" means that dose of a substance
				  administered to test organisms that is lethal to 50 percent of a population of
				  exposed organisms in a given time period. "LD50-oral
				  rat" or "oral rat" means that dose of a substance, administered orally, that is
				  lethal to 50 percent of a population of exposed rats in a given time
				  period.
"Mutagen" means a chemical, or complex mixture of closely
				  related chemicals or ionizing radiation which has been determined, in
				  accordance with USEPA Guidelines for Mutagenic Risk Assessment, incorporated by
				  reference at Section 808.111, to have sufficient evidence supporting a causal
				  association between exposure to the chemical and point mutations (i.e.,
				  submicroscopic changes in the base sequence of DNA) or structural or numerical
				  chromosome aberrations. Structural aberrations include deficiencies,
				  duplications, insertions, inversions, and translocations, whereas numerical
				  aberrations are gains or losses of whole chromosomes (e.g., trisomy, monosomy)
				  or sets of chromosomes (haploidy, polyploidy).
"Special handling waste" is a declassified waste which, due
				  to its form and mode of containment in transport or storage, presents a danger
				  to a person handling the waste such that the person needs information about the
				  waste to safely transport or store the waste. "Special handling waste" includes
				  any such waste which would pose a danger if handled in a manner similar to
				  household waste. "Dangers" include, but are not limited to, the following:
				  fire, explosion, and emission of toxic or carcinogenic gas or dust. "Special
				  handling waste" also includes any special waste which, because of appearance or
				  packaging, resembles waste which would be a special handling waste. Such waste
				  includes, but is not limited to, any special waste contained in a sealed drum.
				  Irrespective of its degree of hazard ranking under Section 808.245, a special
				  handling waste is a special waste.
BOARD NOTE: Section
				  808.245(d)
				   provides that special handling waste which
				  would otherwise be declassified is at least a Type B special waste.
"Special (non-RCRA) waste" is any special waste that is not
				  hazardous waste as defined in this Section.
"Special waste" means any hazardous waste, and any industrial
				  process waste or pollution control waste which has not been declassified
				  pursuant to Section 808.245. (Section 3.45 of the Act.)
BOARD NOTE: The definition of "hazardous waste" at Section
				  3.15 of the Act differs from the definition of the same term as used in this
				  Part. The Board intends that the Section 3.15 definition apply to this Part
				  only for the purposes of this definition of special waste. The Board intends
				  that the definition given in this Section apply to all other appearances for
				  the term "hazardous waste" throughout this Part.
"TC50" means that dose of a substance
				  administered to test organisms that produces toxic effects in 50 percent of a
				  population of exposed organisms in a given time period.
				  "TD50-oral rat" means that the test organisms are
				  laboratory rats.
"Washwater", as used in this Subpart, means a mixture of
				  water, nonhazardous cleaning compounds, and residue that results from cleaning
				  surfaces and equipment and that is collected separately from sewage.
"Wastewater", as used in this Subpart, means stormwater,
				  surface water, groundwater or nonhazardous washwater that has been contaminated
				  with used oil but has not been mixed with sewage, industrial waste or any other
				  waste.
