Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 14, July 12, 2024
A. The Secretary shall list a solid waste as
				  a hazardous waste only upon determining that the solid waste meets one of the
				  following criteria:
(1) It exhibits any of
				  the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in Regulations .10-.14 of
				  this chapter.
(2) It has been found
				  to be fatal to humans in low doses or, in the absence of data on human
				  toxicity, it has been shown in studies to have an oral
				  LD50 toxicity (rat) of less than 50 milligrams per
				  kilogram, an inhalation LC50 toxicity (rat) of less than
				  2 milligrams per liter, or a dermal LD50 toxicity
				  (rabbit) of less than 200 milligrams per kilogram or is otherwise capable of
				  causing or significantly contributing to an increase in serious irreversible,
				  or incapacitating reversible, illness. Waste listed in accordance with these
				  criteria will be designated Acute Hazardous Waste.
(3) It contains any of the toxic constituents
				  listed in Regulation .24 of this chapter and, after considering the following
				  factors, the Secretary concludes that the waste is capable of posing a
				  substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when
				  improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed:
(a) The nature of the toxicity presented by
				  the constituent.
(b) The
				  concentration of the constituent in the waste.
(c) The potential of the constituent or any
				  toxic degradation product of the constituent to migrate from the waste into the
				  environment under the types of improper management considered in §A(3)(g), of
				  this regulation.
(d) The
				  persistence of the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the
				  constituent.
(e) The potential for
				  the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the constituent to degrade
				  into non-harmful constituents and the rate of degradation.
(f) The degree to which the constituent or
				  any degradation product of the constituent bioaccumulates in
				  ecosystems.
(g) The plausible types
				  of improper management to which the waste could be subjected.
(h) The quantities of the waste generated at
				  individual generation sites or on a regional or national basis.
(i) The nature and severity of the human
				  health and environmental damage that has occurred as a result of the improper
				  management of wastes containing the constituent.
(j) Actions taken by other governmental
				  agencies or regulatory programs based on the health or environmental hazard
				  posed by the waste or waste constituents.
(k) Such other factors as may be
				  appropriate.

Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 14, July 12, 2024
A. This regulation
				  describes the equipment and procedures that shall be used in evaluating the
				  criteria of Regulation .11C(3)(c)(ii)-(iv) of this chapter to determine whether
				  an aerosol is ignitable.
B. Flame
				  Projection Test.
(1) Equipment. The test
				  equipment for the Flame Projection Test consists of a base 4 inches wide and 2
				  feet long. A 30-inch rule with inches marked is supported horizontally on the
				  side of the base and about 6 inches above it. A plumber's candle of such height
				  that the top third of the flame is at the height of the horizontal rule is
				  placed at the zero point in the base.
(2) Procedure. The test is conducted in a
				  draft-free area that can be ventilated and in which the atmosphere can be
				  cleared between each test. The self-pressurized container being tested is
				  placed at a distance of 6 inches from the ignition source and the spray is
				  jetted into the top third of the flame with the valve opened fully for periods
				  of 15 to 20 seconds. The length of the flame projection from the candle
				  position is read on the horizontal scale. Three or more readings are taken on
				  each sample and the average of the readings is taken as the result of the test.
				  Samples are also tested with the container valve in partially open positions to
				  test for "burning back" to the valve.
