Ohio Administrative Code
Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency
Chapter 3745-51 - Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste
Section 3745-51-21 - Characteristic of ignitability
Universal Citation: OH Admin Code 3745-51-21
Current through all regulations passed and filed through March 18, 2024
(A) A waste exhibits the characteristic of ignitability if a representative sample of the waste has any of the following properties:
(1) The waste is a liquid, other
than
a solution containing less than twenty-four per cent
alcohol by volume and at least fifty per cent water by
weight,
that has a flash point less than sixty degrees Celsius
(C) [one hundred forty degrees Fahrenheit (F)], as determined by
using "American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM)" standard ASTM D93-79, D93-80, D3278-78, D8174-18, or
D8175-18 as specified in SW-846 test method 1010B or 1020C.
(2) The waste is not a liquid and, under
standard temperature and pressure, can cause fire through friction, absorption
of moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes and, when ignited, burns so
vigorously and persistently that the waste creates a hazard.
(3) The waste is an ignitable compressed gas.
(a) The term "compressed gas" designates any
materials or mixtures having in the container an absolute pressure exceeding
forty pounds per square inch (psi) at seventy degrees F or, regardless of the
pressure at seventy degrees F, having an absolute pressure exceeding one
hundred four psi at one hundred thirty degrees F; or any liquid flammable
material having a vapor pressure exceeding forty psi absolute at one hundred
degrees F as determined by ASTM
D323-20a.
(b) A
compressed gas is characterized as ignitable if any one of the following
occurs:
(i) Either a mixture of thirteen per
cent or less (by volume) with air forms a flammable mixture, or the flammable
range with air is wider than twelve per cent regardless of the lower limit.
These limits are determined at atmospheric temperature and pressure. The method
of sampling and test procedure shall be
the ASTM
E681-85 or other equivalent methods approved by the
associate administrator, "Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration" of the U.S. department of transportation (U.S.
DOT) .
(ii)
The compressed
gas is determined to be flammable or extremely flammable using
49 CFR
173.115(l).
(4) The waste is an
oxidizer. An "oxidizer," for the purpose of this rule, is a substance such as
chlorate, permanganate, inorganic peroxide, or a nitrate, that yields oxygen
readily to stimulate the combustion of organic matter
.
(a) An organic compound containing the
bivalent -O-O- structure and which may be considered a derivative of hydrogen
peroxide where one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic
radicals shall be classed as an "organic peroxide" unless:
(i) The material meets the definition of a
"Division 1.1,"
"Division 1.2," or "Division 1.3"
explosive, as described in paragraph (A)(8) of
rule
3745-51-23
of the Administrative Code, in which case, the material is classed as an
explosive;
(ii) The
material is forbidden to be offered for transportation according to
49 CFR
172.101 and
49 CFR
173.21
;
(iii) The predominant hazard of the material
containing an organic peroxide is other than that of an organic peroxide; or
(iv) According to data on file with the
"Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration" in the U.S. DOT
, the
material does not present a hazard in transportation.
(b) [Reserved.]
(B) A waste that exhibits the characteristic of ignitability has the EPA hazardous waste number of D001.
