Virginia Administrative Code › Title 9 - ENVIRONMENT › Agency 20 - VIRGINIA WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD › Chapter 85 - COAL COMBUSTION BYPRODUCT REGULATIONS › Part I - Definitions › Section 9VAC20-85-20 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
In addition to the definitions incorporated by reference,
					 the following words and terms shall have, for the purpose of this chapter, the
					 following meanings:
"ASTM" means the American Society for Testing and
					 Materials.
"CCB" means coal combustion byproducts.
"Closure" means the act of securing a fossil fuel
					 combustion products site pursuant to the requirements of this chapter.
"Coal combustion byproducts" or "CCB" means residuals,
					 including fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, and flue gas emission control waste
					 produced by burning coal. CCB includes both CCR and non-CCR wastes identified
					 by this definition.
"Coal combustion residuals" or "CCR" means fly ash, bottom
					 ash, boiler slag, and flue gas desulfurization materials generated from burning
					 coal for the purpose of generating electricity by electric utilities and
					 independent power producers. CCR is a specific type of CCB.
"Department" means the Department of Environmental
					 Quality.
"Director" means the Director of the Department of
					 Environmental Quality or the Director of the Department of Energy depending on
					 the context.
"Fossil fuel combustion products" means coal combustion
					 byproducts as defined in this regulation, coal combustion byproducts generated
					 at facilities with fluidized bed combustion technology, petroleum coke
					 combustion byproducts, byproducts from the combustion of oil, byproducts from
					 the combustion of natural gas, and byproducts from the combustion of mixtures
					 of coal and "other fuels" (i.e., co-burning of coal with "other fuels" where
					 coal is at least 50% of the total fuel). For purposes of this definition,
					 "other fuels" means waste-derived fuel product, auto shredder fluff, wood
					 wastes, coal mill rejects, peat, tall oil, tire-derived fuel, deionizer resins,
					 and used oil.
"Fossil fuel combustion products site" means all land and
					 structures, other appurtenances, and improvements on them used to manage fossil
					 fuel combustion products by the methods included in either
					 9VAC20-85-40 A or
					 B.
"Perennial stream" means a stream or part of a stream that
					 flows continuously during all of the calendar year as a result of groundwater
					 discharge or surface runoff.
"Speculatively accumulated material" means any material
					 that is accumulated before being used, reused, or reclaimed or in anticipation
					 of potential use, reuse, or reclamation. Fossil fuel combustion products are
					 not being accumulated speculatively when they can be used, reused, or
					 reclaimed, have a feasible means of use, reuse, or reclamation available and
					 75% of the accumulated fossil fuel combustion products are being removed from
					 the storage annually.
"TCLP" means a chemical analytical procedure described in
					 the Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, 9VAC20-60.
"Waste derived fuel product" means a solid waste or
					 combination of solid wastes that have been treated (altered physically,
					 chemically, or biologically) to produce a fuel product with a minimum heating
					 value of 5,000 BTU/lb. Solid wastes used to produce a waste derived fuel
					 product must have a heating value, or act as binders, and may not be added to
					 the fuel for the purpose of disposal. Waste ingredients may not be listed or
					 characteristic hazardous wastes. The fuel product must be stable at ambient
					 temperature and not degraded by exposure to the elements. This material may not
					 be "refuse derived fuel (RDF)" as defined in
					 9VAC5-40-890.
