Haw. Code R. § 11-268-2 - Definitions applicable in this chapter

When used in this chapter the following terms have the meanings given below:

(a) "Halogenated organic compounds" or "HOCs" means those compounds having a carbon-halogen bond which are listed under appendix III to this chapter.

(b) "Hazardous constituent" or "constituents" means those constituents listed in appendix VIII to chapter 11-261.

(c) "Land disposal'' means placement in or on the land, except in a corrective action management unit, and includes, but is not limited to, placement in a landfill, surface impoundment, waste pile, injection well, land treatment facility, salt dome formation, salt bed formation, underground mine or cave, or placement in a concrete vault, or bunker intended for disposal purposes.

(d) "Nonwastewaters" are wastes that do not meet the criteria for wastewaters in subsection (f).

(e) "Polychlorinated biphenyls" or "PCBs" are halogenated organic compounds defined in accordance with 40 CFR 761.3(1998).

(f) "Wastewaters" are wastes that contain less than one percent by weight total organic carbon (TOC) and less than one percent by weight total suspended solids (TSS).

(g) "Debris'' means solid material exceeding a 60 mm particle size that is intended for disposal and that is: A manufactured object; or plant or animal matter; or natural geologic material. However, the following materials are not debris: Any material for which a specific treatment standard is provided in subchapter D, chapter 11-268, namely lead acid batteries, cadmium batteries, and radioactive lead solids; Process residuals such as smelter slag and residues from the treatment of waste, wastewater, sludges, or air emission residues; and Intact containers of hazardous waste that are not ruptured and that retain at least 75% of their original volume. A mixture of debris that has not been treated to the standards provided by section 11-268-45 and other material is subject to regulation as debris if the mixture is comprised primarily of debris, by volume, based on visual inspection.

(h) ''Hazardous debris'' means debris that contains a hazardous waste listed in subchapter D of chapter 11-261, or that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste identified in subchapter C of chapter 11-261.

(i) "Underlying hazardous constituent" means any constituent listed in section 11-268-48, Table UTS-Universal Treatment Standards, except fluoride, vanadium, and zinc, which can reasonably be expected to be present at the point of generation of the hazardous waste, at a concentration above the constituent-specific UTS treatment standards.

(j) "Inorganic metal-bearing waste" is one for which EPA has established treatment standards for metal hazardous constituents, and which does not otherwise contain significant organic or cyanide content as described in section 11-268-3(c)(1), and is specifically listed in appendix XI.
