(1) For comparison of the
						proposed coproduct with a product or produced raw material, hazardous or toxic
						constituents are present at elevated levels unless an assessment of hazardous

						  of waste at a permitted facility if the following are met:
(1) The waste was created, spilled or
						  released during or as a result of an emergency. For purposes of this section,
						  the term "emergency" means a fire, spill, accident or other sudden and
						  unplanned event that harms or threatens public health and safety, public
						  welfare, the environment or causes or threatens to cause personal injury. The
						  term does not include increases in concentrations of contaminants in
						  groundwater from background levels from a solid waste management facility,
						  materials storage tank or similar source.
(2) The compliance status of the operator or
						  a related party under section 503(c) and (d) of the act (35 P. S. §
															6018.503(c) and (d)) does
						  not require or allow denial of an application for permit modification, if a
						  permit modification were sought.
(3) Disposal or processing of the waste at
						  the facility, based on accurate and sufficient information about the waste:
(i) Is generally consistent with the types of
						  waste that are permitted to be disposed or processed at the facility, as well
						  as the design of the facility.
(ii)
						  Would not harm or threaten public health and safety, public welfare or the
						  environment or cause personal injury.
(iii) Would not adversely affect the ability
						  of the liner system to prevent groundwater degradation.
(4) Disposal or processing of the waste at
						  the facility is not prohibited by Article VII (relating to hazardous waste
						  management).
