Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) The following wastes listed in Table T,
"Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes", for which standards are expressed
as a treatment method rather than as a concentration level, must be treated
using the technology or technologies specified in Table C.
1) Liquid hazardous wastes containing PCBs at
concentrations greater than or equal to 50 ppm but less than 500 ppm must be
incinerated in accordance with the technical requirements of
40
CFR 761.70 (Incineration), incorporated by
reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111(b),
or burned in high efficiency boilers in accordance with the technical
requirements of
40 CFR
761.60 (Disposal Requirements), incorporated
by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111(b).
Liquid hazardous wastes containing PCBs at concentrations greater than or equal
to 500 ppm must be incinerated in accordance with the technical requirements of
40
CFR 761.70. Thermal treatment in accordance
with this Section must be in compliance with applicable regulations in 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 724, 725, and 726.
2)
Nonliquid hazardous wastes containing halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) in
total concentrations greater than or equal to 1,000mg/kg and liquid
HOC-containing wastes that are prohibited pursuant to Section
728.132(e)(1)
must be incinerated in accordance with the
requirements of Subpart O of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 or Subpart O of 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 725. These treatment standards do not apply where the waste is subject to
a treatment standard codified in Subpart C for a specific HOC (such as a
hazardous waste chlorinated solvent for which a treatment standard is
established pursuant to Section
728.141(a)
).
3) A mixture consisting of
wastewater, the discharge of which is subject to regulation pursuant to 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 309 or 310, and de minimis losses of materials from manufacturing
operations in which these materials are used as raw materials or are produced
as products in the manufacturing process that meet the criteria of the D001
ignitable liquids containing greater than 10 percent total organic constituents
(TOC) subcategory are subject to the DEACT treatment standard described in
Table C. For purposes of this subsection (a)(3), "de minimis losses" include
the following:
A) Those from normal material
handling operations (e.g., spills from the unloading or transfer of materials
from bins or other containers, or leaks from pipes, valves, or other devices
used to transfer materials);
B)
Minor leaks from process equipment, storage tanks, or containers;
C) Leaks from well-maintained pump packings
and seals;
D) Sample purgings;
and
E) Relief device
discharges.
b) Any person may submit an application to
the Agency demonstrating that an alternative treatment method can achieve a
level of performance equivalent to that achievable by methods specified in
subsections (a), (c), and (d) for wastes or specified in Table F for hazardous
debris. The applicant must submit information demonstrating that the
applicant's treatment method is in compliance with federal and state
requirements, including this Part; 35 Ill. Adm. Code 709, 724, 725, 726, and
729; and Sections 22.6 and 39(h) of the Environmental Protection Act and that
the treatment method adequately protects human health and the environment. On
the basis of such information and any other available information, the Agency
must approve the use of the alternative treatment method if the Agency finds
that the alternative treatment method provides a measure of performance
equivalent to that achieved by methods specified in subsections (a), (c), and
(d) and in Table F, for hazardous debris. Any approval must be stated in
writing and may contain such provisions and conditions as the Agency determines
to be appropriate. The person to whom such approval is issued must comply with
all limitations contained in such determination.
c) As an alternative to the otherwise
applicable treatment standards of Subpart D, lab packs are eligible for land
disposal provided the following requirements are met:
1) The lab packs comply with the applicable
provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.416
and
725.416;
BOARD NOTE: 35 Ill. Adm. Code
729.301 and
729.312 include
additional restrictions on the use of lab packs.
2) The lab pack does not contain any of the
wastes listed in Appendix D;
3) The
lab packs are incinerated in accordance with the requirements of Subpart O of
35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 or Subpart O of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725; and
4) Any incinerator residues from lab packs
containing D004, D005, D006, D007, D008, D010, and D011 are treated in
compliance with the applicable treatment standards specified for such wastes in
Subpart D.
d)
Radioactive hazardous mixed wastes are subject to the treatment standards in
Section
728.140
and Table T. Where treatment standards are specified for radioactive mixed
wastes in Table T, "Table of Treatment Standards", those treatment standards
will govern. Where there is no specific treatment standard for radioactive
mixed waste, the treatment standard for the hazardous waste (as designated by
USEPA hazardous waste number) applies. Hazardous debris containing radioactive
waste is subject to the treatment standards specified in Section
728.145.
