Small containers of hazardous waste in overpacked drums, lab packs, may be placed in a landfill if the following requirements are met:
(a) Hazardous waste shall be
packaged in non-leaking inside containers. The inside containers shall be of a
design and constructed of a material that will not react dangerously with, be
decomposed by, or be ignited by the waste held therein. Inside containers shall
be tightly and securely sealed. The inside containers shall be of the size and
type specified in the Department of Transportation (DOT) hazardous materials
regulations, 49 CFR parts 173, 178 and 179, if those regulations specify a
particular inside container for the waste.
(b) The inside containers shall be overpacked
in an open head DOT-specification metal shipping container, 49 CFR parts 178
and 179, of no more than 416-liter, 110 gallon, capacity and surrounded by, at
a minimum, a sufficient quantity of sorbent material, determined to be
nonbiodegradable in accordance with Subsection R315-265-314(e), to completely
sorb the liquid contents of the inside containers. The metal outer container
shall be full after it has been packed with inside containers and sorbent
material.
(c) The sorbent material
used may not be capable of reacting dangerously with, being decomposed by, or
being ignited by the contents of the inside containers in accordance with
Subsection R315-265-17(b).
(d) Incompatible wastes, as defined in
Section R315-260-10, may not be placed

shall be treated or made non-reactive before packaging in accordance with
Subsections R315-265-316(a) through R315-265-316(d). Cyanide- and
sulfide-bearing reactive waste may be packaged in accordance with Subsections
R315-265-316(a) through R315-265-316(d) without first being treated or made
non-reactive.
(f) This disposal is
in compliance with the requirements of Rule R315-268. Persons who incinerate
lab packs according to the requirements in Subsection
