Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 725.414 - Special Requirements for Liquid Wastes
a) The placement of bulk or non-containerized
liquid hazardous waste or hazardous waste containing free liquids (whether or
not sorbents have been added) in any landfill is prohibited.
b) Containers holding free liquids must not
be placed in a landfill unless one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
1) One of the following occurs with regard to
all free-standing liquid:
A) It has been
removed by decanting or other methods;
B) It has been mixed with sorbent or
solidified so that free-standing liquid is no longer observed; or
C) It has been otherwise
eliminated;
2) The
container is very small, such as an ampule;
3) The container is designed to hold free
liquids for use other than storage, such as a battery or capacitor;
or
4) The container is a lab pack,
as defined in Section
724.416,
and is disposed of in accordance with Section 724.416.
c) To demonstrate the absence or presence of
free liquids in either a containerized or a bulk waste, the following test must
be used: Method 9095B (Paint Filter Liquids Test), as described in "Test
Methods for Evaluating Solid Wastes, Physical/Chemical Methods", USEPA
publication number EPA-530/SW-846, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm.
Code
720.111(a).
d) This subsection (d) corresponds with
40 CFR
265.314(d), which recites a
past effective date. This statement maintains structural parity with the
federal regulations.
e) Sorbents
used to treat free liquids to be disposed of in landfills must be
nonbiodegradable. Nonbiodegradable sorbents are one of the following: materials
listed or described in subsection (e)(1); materials that pass one of the tests
in subsection (e)(2); or materials that are determined by the Board to be
nonbiodegradable through the adjusted standard procedure of Section 28.1 of the
Act and Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 104.
1) Nonbiodegradable sorbents are the
following:
A) Inorganic minerals, other
inorganic materials, and elemental carbon (e.g., aluminosilicates, clays,
smectites, Fuller's earth, bentonite, calcium bentonite, montmorillonite,
calcined montmorillonite, kaolinite, micas (illite), vermiculites, zeolites,
calcium carbonate (organic free limestone), oxides/hydroxides, alumina, lime,
silica (sand), diatomaceous earth, perlite (volcanic glass), expanded volcanic
rock, volcanic ash, cement kiln dust, fly ash, rice hull ash, activated
charcoal/activated carbon, etc.); or
B) High molecular weight synthetic polymers
(e.g., polyethylene, high density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene,
polystyrene, polyurethane, polyacrylate, polynorborene, polyisobutylene, ground
synthetic rubber, cross-linked allylstyrene, and tertiary butyl copolymers).
This does not include polymers derived from biological material or polymers
specifically designed to be degradable; or
C) Mixtures of these nonbiodegradable
materials.
2) Tests for
Nonbiodegradable Sorbents
A) The sorbent
material is determined to be nonbiodegradable under ASTM Method G21-70 (1984a)
(Standard Practice for Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymer Materials to
Fungi), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111(a);
B) The sorbent material is determined to be
nonbiodegradable under ASTM Method G22-76 (1984b) (Standard Practice for
Determining Resistance of Plastics to Bacteria), incorporated by reference in
35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111(a);
or
C) The sorbent material is
determined to be non-biodegradable under OECD Guideline for Testing of
Chemicals, Method301B (CO2 Evolution (Modified Sturm
Test)), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111(a).
f) The placement of any
liquid that is not a hazardous waste in a landfill is prohibited. (See 35 Ill.
Adm. Code
729.311.)
