Haw. Code R. § 11-265-316 - Disposal of small containers of hazardous waste in overpacked drums (lab packs)
Small containers of hazardous waste in overpacked drums (lab packs) may be placed in a landfill if the following requirements are met:
(a) Hazardous waste must be
packaged in non-leaking inside containers. The inside containers must be of a
design and constructed of a material that will not react dangerously with, be
decomposed by, or be ignited by the waste held therein. Inside containers must
be tightly and securely sealed. The inside containers must be of the size and
type specified in the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) hazardous
materials regulations ( 49 CFR Parts 173, 178 and 179), if those regulations
specify a particular inside container for the waste.
(b) The inside containers must be overpacked
in an open head DOT-specification metal shipping container ( 49 CFR Parts 178
and 179) of no more than 416-liter (110 gallon) capacity and surrounded by, at
a minimum, a sufficient quantity of sorbent material, determined to be
nonbiodegradable in accordance with subsection 11-265-314(f), to completely
sorb all of the liquid contents of the inside containers. The metal outer
container must be full after it has been packed with inside containers and
sorbent material.
(c) The sorbent
material used must not be capable of reacting dangerously with, being
decomposed by, or being ignited by the contents of the inside container's in
accordance with subsection 11-265-17(b).
(d) Incompatible wastes, as defined in
subsection 11-260-10(a), must not be placed in the same outside
container.
(e) Reactive waste,
other than cyanide- or sulfide-bearing waste as defined in paragraph
11-261-23(a)(5), must be treated or rendered non-reactive prior to packaging in
accordance with subsections (a) through (d). Cyanide-and sulfide-bearing
reactive waste may be packaged in accordance with subsections (a) through (d)
without first being treated or rendered non-reactive.
(f) Such disposal is in compliance with the
requirements of chapter 11-268. Persons who incinerate lab packs according to
the requirements in paragraph 11-268-42(c)(1) may use fiber drums in place of
metal outer containers. Such fiber drums must meet the DOT specifications in
49 CFR
173.12 and be overpacked according to the
requirements in subsection (b).
