Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 725.117 - General Requirements for Ignitable, Reactive, or Incompatible Wastes
a) The owner or
operator must take precautions to prevent accidental ignition or reaction of
ignitable or reactive waste. This waste must be separated and protected from
sources of ignition or reaction, including, but not limited to, open flames,
smoking, cutting and welding, hot surfaces, frictional heat, sparks (static,
electrical or mechanical), spontaneous ignition (e.g., from heat-producing
chemical reactions), and radiant heat. While ignitable or reactive waste is
being handled, the owner or operator must confine smoking and open flame to
specially designated locations. "No Smoking" signs must be conspicuously placed
wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste.
b) Where specifically required by other
Sections of this Part, the treatment, storage, or disposal of ignitable or
reactive waste and the mixture or commingling of incompatible waste or
incompatible wastes and materials, must be conducted so that it does not do any
of the following:
1) It does not generate
extreme heat or pressure, fire or explosion, or violent reaction;
2) It does not produce uncontrolled toxic
mists, fumes, dusts, or gases in sufficient quantities to threaten human
health;
3) It does not produce
uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities to pose a risk
of fire or explosions;
4) It does
not damage the structural integrity of the device or facility containing the
waste; or
5) Through other like
means, it does not threaten human health or the environment.
