Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 11 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Subtitle 1 - GENERAL DEPARTMENTAL PROVISIONS › Chapter 268.1 - HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT: LAND DISPOSAL RESTRICTIONS › Part 268 - LAND DISPOSAL RESTRICTIONS › Subpart A - General › Section 11-268.2 - Definitions applicable in this part.

Current through June, 2024
When used in this part 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 part.
(b) Hazardous constituent or constituents
					 means those constituents listed in appendix VIII to part 261 of this
					 chapter.
(c) Land disposal means
					 placement in or on the land, except in a corrective action management unit or
					 staging pile, 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 paragraph (f) of this section.
(e) Polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs are
					 halogenated organic compounds defined in accordance with
					 40
					 CFR 761.3.
(f) Wastewaters are wastes that contain less
					 than 1% by weight total organic carbon (TOC) and less than 1% 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 Subpart D, Part
					 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 § 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 subpart D of part 261 of
					 this chapter, or that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste identified
					 in subpart C of part 261 of this chapter. Any deliberate mixing of prohibited
					 hazardous waste with debris that changes its treatment classification (i.e.,
					 from waste to hazardous debris) is not allowed under the dilution prohibition
					 in § 268.3.
(i) Underlying
					 hazardous constituent means any constituent listed in § 268.48, Table
					 UTS-Universal Treatment Standards, except fluoride, selenium, sulfides,
					 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 § 268.3(c)(1), and is specifically listed in appendix XI of
					 this part.
(k) Soil means
					 unconsolidated earth material composing the superficial geologic strata
					 (material overlying bedrock), consisting of clay, silt, sand, or gravel size
					 particles as classified by the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, or
					 a mixture of such materials with liquids, sludges or solids which is
					 inseparable by simple mechanical removal processes and is made up primarily of
					 soil by volume based on visual inspection. Any deliberate mixing of prohibited
					 hazardous waste with soil that changes its treatment classification (i.e., from
					 waste to contaminated soil) is not allowed under the dilution prohibition in
					 § 268.3.
