"Container" means any portable device in which a material is stored, transported, treated, disposed of, or otherwise handled.

"Disposal" means the final disposition of controlled industrial waste and shall include any discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of waste into or on the land or water so that the waste or any constituent may enter the environment, be emitted to the air, or be discharged to any waters, including ground waters.

"Generator" means any person, by geographic location, whose act or process produces controlled industrial waste or recyclable materials identified or listed in Appendix A or whose act first causes a controlled industrial waste or recyclable material to become subject to this subchapter.

"Hazardous materials" means those materials of commerce or manufacture which, if discarded, would be classified as controlled industrial waste.

"Incompatible wastes" means two (2) or more separate and distinct wastes which, when allowed to come into contact with each other, will mix or react so as to generate steam, toxic gases, pressure, extreme heat, flammable volatile gasses or liquids, shock-sensitive substances, or cause fire, explosion, or violent reactions.

"Industrial waste" means a collective term which may include both controlled industrial waste, controlled industrial waste to be recycled, and other industrial wastes.

"Operation" means the receiving, handling, treating, storing, or disposing of controlled industrial wastes in daily operations and the closing of controlled industrial waste facilities during closure operations.

"Other industrial waste" means refuse products which are designated by the Department of Environmental Quality to require special handling, but are not designated as "controlled industrial waste."

"Spill" means the accidental spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, or dumping of controlled industrial waste, recyclable materials, or hazardous materials which when spilled become controlled industrial waste into or on any land or water.

"Surface impoundment" or "impoundment" means a facility or part of a facility which is a natural topographic depression, man-made excavation, or diked area formed primarily of earthen materials, although it may be lined with man-made materials, which is designed to hold an accumulation of liquid wastes or wastes containing free liquids, and which is not an injection well.
