Haw. Code R. § 11-265-312 - Special requirements for ignitable or reactive waste

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), and in section 11-265-316, ignitable or reactive waste must not be placed in a landfill, unless the waste and landfill meet all applicable requirements of chapter 11-268, and:

(1) The resulting waste, mixture, or dissolution or material no longer meets the definition of ignitable or reactive waste under section 11-261-21 or section 11-261-23; and

(2) Subsection 11-265-17(b) is complied with.

(b) Except for prohibited wastes which remain subject to treatment standards in subchapter D of chapter 11-268, ignitable wastes in containers may be landfilled without meeting the requirements of subsection (a), provided that the wastes are disposed of in such a way that they are protected from any material or conditions which may cause them to ignite. At a minimum, ignitable wastes must be disposed of in non-leaking containers which are carefully handled and placed so as to avoid heat, sparks, rupture, or any other condition that might cause ignition of the wastes; must be covered daily with soil or other non-combustible material to minimize the potential for ignition of the wastes; and must not be disposed of in cells that contain or will contain other wastes which may generate heat sufficient to cause ignition of the waste.
