"Active life" of a facility means the period from the
					 initial receipt of hazardous waste at the facility until the Department
					 receives certification of final closure. "Active portion" means that portion of
					 a facility where treatment, storage, or disposal operations are being or have
					 been conducted after the effective date of part 261 of this chapter and which
					 is not a closed portion (see also "closed portion" and "inactive
					 portion").
"Acute hazardous waste"
means hazardous wastes
					 that meet the listing criteria in section R.61-79.261.11(a)(2) and therefore
					 are either listed in R.61-79.261.31 with the assigned hazard code of (H) or are
					 listed in R.61-79.261.33(e).
Administrator means the Administrator of the Environmental
					 Protection Agency, or his designee.
"Aerosol can" means a non-refillable receptacle containing
					 a gas compressed, liquefied, or dissolved under pressure, the sole purpose of
					 which is to expel a liquid, paste, or powder and fitted with a self-closing
					 release device allowing the contents to be ejected by the gas.
"AES filing compliance date" means December 31, 2017, which
					 is the date that EPA announced in the Federal Register, on or after which

					 storage and treatment tanks to a point of disposal onsite, or to a point of
					 shipment for disposal offsite.
"Aquifer" means a geologic formation, group of formations,
					 or part of a formation capable of yielding a significant amount of ground water
					 to wells or springs.

					 facility), e.g., the plant manager, superintendent or person of equivalent
					 responsibility.
"Batch tolling" [Removed]
"Battery" means a device consisting of one or more
					 electrically connected electrochemical cells which is designed to receive,
					 store, and deliver electric energy. An electrochemical cell is a system
					 consisting of an anode, cathode, and an electrolyte, plus such connections
					 (electrical and mechanical) as may be needed to allow the cell to deliver or
					 receive electrical energy. The term battery also includes an intact, unbroken
					 battery from which the electrolyte has been removed. (added 5/96)

					 recovery section(s) must be of integral design. To be of integral design, the
					 combustion chamber and the primary energy recovery section(s) (such as
					 waterwalls and superheaters) must be physically formed into one manufactured or
					 assembled unit. A unit in which the combustion chamber and the primary energy
					 recovery section(s) are joined only by ducts or connections carrying flue gas
					 is not integrally designed; however, secondary energy recovery equipment (such
					 as economizers or air preheaters) need not be physically formed into the same
					 unit as the combustion chamber and the primary energy recovery section. The
					 following units are not precluded from being boilers solely because they are
					 not of integral design: process heaters (units that transfer energy directly to
					 a process stream), and fluidized bed combustion units; and
(iii) While in operation, the unit must maintain a thermal
					 energy recovery efficiency of at least 60 percent, calculated in terms of the
					 recovered energy compared with the thermal value of the fuel; and
(iv) The unit must export and utilize at least 75 percent
					 of the recovered energy, calculated on an annual basis. In this calculation, no
					 credit shall be given for recovered heat used internally in the same unit.
					 (Examples of internal use are the preheating of fuel or combustion air, and the
					 driving of induced or forced draft fans or feedwater pumps); or
(2) The unit is one which the Department has determined, on
					 case-by-case basis, to be a boiler, after considering the standards in Section
					 260.32.
"Carbon regeneration unit" means any enclosed thermal
					 treatment device used to regenerate spent activated carbon.
"Cathode Ray Tube" or "CRT" means a vacuum tube, composed
					 primarily of glass, which is the visual or video display component of an

					 continuing or intermittent unpermitted releases of the hazardous secondary
					 materials to the environment, and is designed, as appropriate for the hazardous
					 secondary materials, to prevent releases of hazardous secondary materials to
					 the environment. Unpermitted releases are releases that are not covered by a
					 permit (such as a permit to discharge to water or air) and may include, but are
					 not limited to, releases through surface transport by precipitation runoff,
					 releases to soil and groundwater, wind-blown dust, fugitive air emissions, and
					 catastrophic unit failures;
(2) The unit is properly labeled or otherwise has a system
					 (such as a log) to immediately identify the hazardous secondary materials in
