Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025

(a) The placement of bulk or non-containerized liquid hazardous waste or hazardous waste containing free liquids (whether or not sorbents have been added) in any landfill is prohibited.

(b) To demonstrate the absence or presence of free liquids in either a containerized or bulk waste, the following test must be used: Method 9095B (Paint Filter Liquids Test) as described in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §260.11 and in § 335.31 of this title (relating to Incorporation of References).

(c) The placement of any liquid which is not a hazardous waste in a landfill is prohibited, unless the owner or operator of such landfill demonstrates to the commission, or the commission determines that:

(1) the only reasonably available alternative to the placement in such landfill is placement in a landfill or unlined surface impoundment, whether or not permitted or operating under interim status, which contains or may reasonably be anticipated to contain hazardous waste; and

(2) placement in such owner or operator's landfill will not present a risk of contamination of any "underground source of drinking water" (as that term is defined in § 331.2 of this title (relating to Definitions)).

(d) Containers holding liquid waste or waste containing free liquids must not be placed in a landfill unless:

(1) the container is very small, such as an ampule; or

(2) the container is designed to hold free liquids for use other than storage, such as a battery or capacitor; or

(3) the container is a lab pack as defined in 40 CFR §264.316 and is disposed of in accordance with 40 CFR §264.316.
