Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Treatment Standards. Hazardous debris must
be treated prior to land disposal as follows, unless the Agency has determined,
under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
721.103(f)(2),
that the debris is no longer contaminated with hazardous waste or the debris is
treated to the waste-specific treatment standard provided in this Subpart D for
the waste contaminating the debris:
1)
General. Hazardous debris must be treated for each "contaminant subject to
treatment", defined by subsection (b), using the technology or technologies
identified in Table F.
2)
Characteristic Debris. Hazardous debris that exhibits the characteristic of
ignitability, corrosivity, or reactivity identified under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
721.121,
721.122,
or
721.123,
respectively, must be deactivated by treatment using one of the technologies
identified in Table F.
3) Mixtures
of Debris Types. The treatment standards of Table F must be achieved for each
type of debris contained in a mixture of debris types. If an immobilization
technology is used in a treatment train, it must be the last treatment
technology used.
4) Mixtures of
Contaminant Types. Debris that is contaminated with two or more contaminants
subject to treatment identified under subsection (b) must be treated for each
contaminant using one or more treatment technologies identified in Table F. If
an immobilization technology is used in a treatment train, it must be the last
treatment technology used.
5) Waste
PCBs. Hazardous debris that is also a waste PCB under 40 CFR 761
(Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Manufacturing, Processing, Distribution in
Commerce, and Use Prohibitions), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111(b),
is subject to the requirements of either 40 CFR 761 or the requirements of this
Section, whichever are more stringent.
b) Contaminants Subject to Treatment.
Hazardous debris must be treated for each "contaminant subject to treatment".
The contaminants subject to treatment must be determined as follows:
1) Toxicity Characteristic Debris. The
contaminants subject to treatment for debris that exhibits the Toxicity
Characteristic (TC) by 35 Ill. Adm. Code
721.124
are those EP constituents for which the debris exhibits the TC toxicity
characteristic.
2) Debris
Contaminated with Listed Waste. The contaminants subject to treatment for
debris that is contaminated with a prohibited listed hazardous waste are those
constituents or wastes for which treatment standards are established for the
waste under Section
728.140
and Table T.
3) Cyanide Reactive
Debris. Hazardous debris that is reactive because of cyanide must be treated
for cyanide.
c)
Conditioned Exclusion of Treated Debris. Hazardous debris that has been treated
using one of the specified extraction or destruction technologies in Table F
and that does not exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste identified under
Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 after treatment is not a hazardous waste and
need not be managed in a subtitle C facility. Hazardous debris contaminated
with a listed waste that is treated by an immobilization technology specified
in Table F is a hazardous waste and must be managed in a RCRA Subtitle C
treatment, storage, or disposal facility.
d) Treatment Residuals
1) General Requirements. Except as provided
by subsections (d)(2) and (d)(4):
A) Residue
from the treatment of hazardous debris must be separated from the treated
debris using simple physical or mechanical means; and
B) Residue from the treatment of hazardous
debris is subject to the waste-specific treatment standards provided by Subpart
D for the waste contaminating the debris.
2) Nontoxic Debris. Residue from the
deactivation of ignitable, corrosive, or reactive characteristic hazardous
debris (other than cyanide-reactive) that is not contaminated with a
contaminant subject to treatment defined by subsection (b), must be deactivated
prior to land disposal and is not subject to the waste-specific treatment
standards of Subpart D.
3)
Cyanide-Reactive Debris. Residue from the treatment of debris that is reactive
because of cyanide must meet the standards for USEPA hazardous waste number
D003 under Section
728.140
and Table T.
4) Ignitable
Nonwastewater Residue. Ignitable nonwastewater residue containing equal to or
greater than 10 percent total organic carbon is subject to the technology
specified in the treatment standard for USEPA hazardous waste number D001:
Ignitable Liquids.
5) Residue from
Spalling. Layers of debris removed by spalling are hazardous debris that
remains subject to the treatment standards of this Section.
