Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-51 - Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste › Section 3745-51-21 - Characteristic of ignitability

Current through all regulations passed and filed
			 through July 1, 2024
(A)
			 A waste exhibits the characteristic of ignitability if a representative sample
			 of the waste has any of the following properties:
(1) The waste is a liquid, other than
			 
									a
			 solution containing less than twenty-four per cent alcohol by volume
			 and at least fifty per cent water by weight,
			 
									that has
			 a flash point less than sixty degrees Celsius (C) [one hundred forty degrees
			 Fahrenheit (F)], as determined by using
			 "American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)" standard ASTM D93-79,
			 D93-80, D3278-78, D8174-18, or D8175-18 as specified in SW-846 test method
			 1010B or 1020C.
(2) The waste
			 is not a liquid and, under standard temperature and pressure, can cause fire
			 through friction, absorption of moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes and,
			 when ignited, burns so vigorously and persistently that the waste creates a
			 hazard.
(3) The waste is an
			 ignitable compressed gas.
(a) The term
			 "compressed gas" designates any materials or mixtures having in the container
			 an absolute pressure exceeding forty pounds per square inch (psi) at seventy
			 degrees F or, regardless of the pressure at seventy degrees F, having an
			 absolute pressure exceeding one hundred four psi at one hundred thirty degrees
			 F; or any liquid flammable material having a vapor pressure exceeding forty psi
			 absolute at one hundred degrees F as determined by ASTM 
										D323-20a.
(b) A
			 compressed gas is characterized as ignitable if any one of the following
			 occurs:
(i) Either a mixture of thirteen per
			 cent or less (by volume) with air forms a flammable mixture, or the flammable
			 range with air is wider than twelve per cent regardless of the lower limit.
			 These limits are determined at atmospheric temperature and pressure. The method
			 of sampling and test procedure shall be 
											the ASTM
			 E681-85 or other equivalent methods approved by the
			 
											associate administrator, "Pipeline and Hazardous
			 Materials Safety Administration" of the U.S. department of transportation (U.S.
			 DOT) .
(ii)
											The compressed
			 gas is determined to be flammable or extremely flammable using
			 49 CFR
			 173.115(l).
(4) The waste is an
			 oxidizer. An "oxidizer," for the purpose of this rule, is a substance such as
			 chlorate, permanganate, inorganic peroxide, or a nitrate, that yields oxygen
			 readily to stimulate the combustion of organic matter
			 .
(a) An organic compound containing the
			 bivalent -O-O- structure and which may be considered a derivative of hydrogen
			 peroxide where one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic
			 radicals shall be classed as an "organic peroxide"  unless:
(i) The material meets the definition of a
			  "Division 1.1,"
			 "Division 1.2," or "Division 1.3"
			 explosive, as described in paragraph (A)(8) of
			 rule
			 3745-51-23
			 of the Administrative Code, in which case, the material is classed as an
			 explosive;
(ii) The
			 material is forbidden to be offered for transportation according to
			 49 CFR
			 172.101 and
			 49 CFR
			 173.21
											;
(iii) The predominant hazard of the material
			 containing an organic peroxide is other than that of an organic peroxide; or
(iv) According to data on file with the
			 "Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration" in the U.S. DOT
			 , the
			 material does not present a hazard in transportation.
