Utah Admin. Code R315-265-312 - Landfills - Special Requirements for Ignitable or Reactive Waste

(a) Except as provided in Subsection R315-265-312(b), and in Section R315-265-316, ignitable or reactive waste may not be placed in a landfill, unless the waste and landfill meet the applicable requirements of Rule R315-268, and:

(1) the resulting waste, mixture, or dissolution of material no longer meets the definition of ignitable or reactive waste under Section R315-261-21 or R315-261-23; and

(2) Subsection R315-265-17(b) is complied with.

(b) Except for prohibited wastes that remain subject to treatment standards in Sections R315-268-40 through R315-268-49, ignitable wastes in containers may be landfilled without meeting the requirements of Subsection R315-265-312(a), if the wastes are disposed of in a way that they are protected from any material or conditions that may cause them to ignite. At a minimum, ignitable wastes shall be:

(1) disposed of in non-leaking containers that are carefully handled and placed so as to avoid heat, sparks, rupture, or any other condition that might cause ignition of the wastes;

(2) shall be covered daily with soil or other non-combustible material to minimize the potential for ignition of the wastes; and

(3) may not be disposed of in cells that contain or will contain other wastes that may generate heat sufficient to cause ignition of the waste.
