Ohio Admin. Code 3745-270-02 - Definitions land disposal restrictions
(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
their
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)
"Hazardous constituent" or "hazardous constitutents" means those constituents
in the appendix to rule
3745-51-11
of the Administrative Code.
(3)
"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 its
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)
"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)
"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) "Nonwastewaters" are
wastes that do not meet the criteria for "wastewaters" as defined in this
rule.
(7) "Polychlorinated
biphenyls" or "PCBs" are halogenated organic compounds defined
in accordance with
under
40
CFR 761.3.
(8) "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 its
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)
"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)
"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.
