(A) When used in Chapter 3745-270 of the
Administrative Code, the following terms have the meanings given in this rule:
(1) "
Debris" means:
(a) Solid material exceeding a 60.0
millimeter particle size that is intended for disposal and that is:
(i) A manufactured object; or
(ii) Plant or animal matter; or
(iii) Natural geologic material.
(b) However, the following
materials are not
debris:
(i) Any material for
which a specific
treatment standard is provided in rules
3745-270-40 to
3745-270-49 of the
Administrative Code, namely lead acid batteries, cadmium batteries, and
radioactive lead solids;
(ii)
Process residuals such as smelter slag and residues from the treatment of
waste, wastewater, sludges, or air emission residues; and
(iii) Intact containers of hazardous waste
that are not ruptured and that retain at least seventy-five per cent of the
original volume.
(c) A
mixture of
debris that has not been treated to the standards provided by rule
3745-270-45 of the
Administrative Code and other material is subject to regulation as
debris if
the mixture is comprised primarily of
debris, by volume, based on visual
inspection.
(2)
"Halogenated organic compounds" or "HOCs" means those
compounds having a carbon-halogen bond which are listed under the appendix to
rule 3745-270-32 of the
Administrative Code.
(2)(3) "
Hazardous
constituent" or "
hazardous constituents" means those constituents in the
appendix to rule
3745-51-11 of the Administrative
Code.
(3)(4) "
Hazardous debris"
means
debris that contains a
hazardous waste listed in rules
3745-51-30 to
3745-51-35 of the Administrative
Code, or that exhibits a characteristic of
hazardous waste identified in rules
3745-51-20 to
3745-51-24 of the Administrative
Code. Any deliberate mixing of prohibited
hazardous waste with
debris that
changes the
treatment classification of the material (i.e., from waste to
hazardous debris) is not allowed under the dilution prohibition in rule
3745-270-03 of the
Administrative Code.
(4)(5) "
Inorganic
metal-bearing waste" is one for which Ohio EPA has established
treatment
standards for metal
hazardous constituents, and which does not otherwise
contain significant organic or cyanide content as described in paragraph (C)(1)
of rule
3745-270-03 of the
Administrative Code, and is specifically listed in the appendix to rule
3745-270-03 of the
Administrative Code.
(5)(6) "Land disposal"
means placement in or on the land, except in a corrective action management
unit or a staging pile, 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.
(6)(7) "Nonwastewaters"
are wastes that do not meet the criteria for "wastewaters" as defined in this
rule.
(7)(8) "Polychlorinated
biphenyls" or "PCBs" are
halogenated organic compounds defined
under
in accordance
with
40 CFR
761.3.
(8)(9)
"
Soil" means unconsolidated earth material composing the superficial geologic
strata (material overlying bedrock), consisting of clay, silt, sand, or gravel
size particles as classified by the U.S. natural resources conservation
service, or a mixture of such materials with liquids, sludges, or solids which
is inseparable by simple mechanical removal processes, and is made up primarily
of
soil by volume based on visual inspection. Any deliberate mixing of
prohibited
hazardous waste with
soil that changes the
treatment classification
of the material (i.e., from waste to contaminated
soil) is not allowed under
the dilution prohibition in rule
3745-270-03 of the
Administrative Code.
(9)(10) "
Underlying
hazardous constituent" means any constituent listed in the table in rule
3745-270-48 of the
Administrative Code, except fluoride, selenium, sulfides, 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 universal
treatment standards.
(10)(11) "Wastewaters" are
wastes that contain less than one per cent by weight total organic carbon and
less than one per cent by weight total suspended solids.
(B) All other terms have the meanings given
in rule 3745-50-10, 3745-51-02, or
3745-51-03 of the Administrative
Code.
