Nebraska Administrative Code › Topic - ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY › Title 128 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Chapter 20 - LAND DISPOSAL RESTRICTIONS (LDR) › Section 128-20-002 - Definitions applicable in this Chapter

Current through June 17, 2024
When used in this Chapter the following terms have the meanings given
	 below:
002.01 Halogenated organic
  compounds or HOCs
"Halogenated organic compounds" or "HOCs" means those compounds having
	 a carbon-halogen bond which are listed under 40 CFR Appendix III, as
	 incorporated by reference in Section
015
.
002.02 Hazardous constituent or constituents
"Hazardous constituent or constituents" means those constituents
	 listed in Appendix I of this Title.
002.03 Land disposal
"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.
002.04 Nonwastewaters
"Nonwastewaters" are wastes that do not meet the criteria for
	 wastewaters in Section
002.06
.
002.05 Polychlorinated biphenyls
"Polychlorinated biphenyls" or "PCBs" are halogenated organic
	 compounds defined in accordance with
	 40
	 CFR 761.3.
002.06 Wastewaters
"Wastewaters" are wastes that contain less than 1% by weight total
	 organic carbon (TOC) and less than 1% by weight total suspended solids
	 (TSS).
002.07 Debris
"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
	 Section
009
through
012
,
	 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
011
and other material is subject
	 to regulation as debris if the mixture is comprised primarily of debris, by
	 volume, based on visual inspection.
002.08 Hazardous debris
"Hazardous debris" means debris that contains a hazardous waste listed
	 in Chapter 3,
011
through
018
, or that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous
	 waste identified in Chapter 3,
005
through
010
. 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 Section
003
.
002.09 Underlying hazardous constituent
"Underlying hazardous constituent" means any constituent listed in
	 Section
012
, Table 12, 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.
002.10 Inorganic
  metal-bearing waste
"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
003.03A
, and is specifically listed in 40 CFR
	 Part 268 Appendix XI, as incorporated by reference in Section
021
.
002.11 Soil
"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 Section
003
.
