(b) Listing Specific Definitions:
(1) For the purposes of the F037 and F038
				  listings, oil/water/solids is defined as oil and/or water and/or
				  solids.
(2)
(i) For the purposes of the F037 and F038
				  listings, aggressive biological treatment units are defined as units which
				  employ one of the following four treatment methods: activated sludge; trickling
				  filter; rotating biological contactor for the continuous accelerated biological
				  oxidation of wastewaters; or high-rate aeration. High-rate aeration is a system
				  of surface impoundments or tanks, in which intense mechanical aeration is used
				  to completely mix the wastes, enhance biological activity, and (A) the units
				  employs a minimum of 6 hp per million gallons of treatment volume; and either
				  (B) the hydraulic retention time of the unit is no longer than 5 days; or (C)
				  the hydraulic retention time is no longer than 30 days and the unit does not
				  generate a sludge that is a hazardous waste by the Toxicity
				  Characteristic.
(ii) Generators and
				  treatment, storage and disposal facilities have the burden of proving that
				  their sludges are exempt from listing as F037 and F038 wastes under this
				  definition. Generators and treatment, storage and disposal facilities must
				  maintain, in their operating or other onsite records, documents and data
				  sufficient to prove that:
(A) the unit is an
				  aggressive biological treatment unit as defined in this subsection;
				  and
(B) the sludges sought to be
				  exempted from the definitions of F037 and/or F038 were actually generated in
				  the aggressive biological treatment unit.
(3)
(i) For
				  the purposes of the F037 listing, sludges are considered to be generated at the
				  moment of deposition in the unit, where deposition is defined as at least a
				  temporary cessation of lateral particle movement.
(ii) For the purposes of the F038 listing,
(A) sludges are considered to be generated at
				  the moment of deposition in the unit, where deposition is defined as at least a
				  temporary cessation of lateral particle movement and
(B) floats are considered to be generated at
				  the moment they are formed in the top of the unit.
(4) For the purposes of F019
				  listing, the following apply to wastewater treatment sludges from the
				  manufacturing of motor vehicles using a zinc phosphating process.
(i) Motor vehicle manufacturing is defined to
				  include the manufacture of automobiles and light trucks/utility vehicles
				  (including light duty vans, pick-up trucks, minivans, and sport utility
				  vehicles). Facilities must be engaged in manufacturing complete vehicles (body
				  and chassis or unibody) or chassis only.
(ii) Generators must maintain in their
				  on-site records, documentation and information sufficient to prove that the
				  wastewater treatment sludges to be exempted from the F019 listing meet the
				  conditions of the listing. These records must include: the volume of waste
				  generated and disposed of offsite; documentation showing when the wastes
				  volumes were generated and sent off site; the name and address of the receiving
				  facility; and documentation confirming receipt of the waste by the receiving
				  facility. Generators must maintain these documents on site for no less than
				  three (3) years. The retention period for the documentation is automatically
				  extended during the course of any enforcement action or as requested by the
				  Department.
