Section 724.412 - Special Requirements for Ignitable or Reactive Waste

a) Except as provided in subsection (b), and in Section 724.416, ignitable or reactive waste must not be placed in a landfill, unless the waste and landfill meet all applicable requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728, and the waste is treated, rendered, or mixed before or immediately after placement in a landfill so that the following is true:

b) Except for prohibited wastes that remain subject to treatment standards in Subpart D to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728, ignitable waste in containers may be landfilled without meeting the requirements of subsection (a), provided that the wastes are disposed of in such a way that they are protected from any material or conditions that may cause them to ignite. At a minimum, ignitable wastes must be 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; must be covered daily with soil or other non-combustible material to minimize the potential for ignition of the wastes; and must not be disposed of in cells that contain or will contain other wastes that may generate heat sufficient to cause ignition of the waste.
