(a) Applicability. You shall comply with LDRs prior to placing soil that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste, or exhibited a characteristic of hazardous waste at the time it was generated, into a land disposal unit. The following chart describes whether you shall comply with LDRs prior to placing soil contaminated by listed hazardous waste into a land disposal unit:

To determine the date any given listed hazardous waste contaminated any given volume of soil, use the last date any given listed hazardous waste was placed into any given land disposal unit or, in the case of an accidental spill, the date of the spill.(b) Prior to land disposal, contaminated soil identified by Subsection R315-268-49(a) as needing to comply with LDRs shall be treated according to the applicable treatment standards specified in Subsection R315-268-49(c) or according to the Universal Treatment Standards specified in Section R315-268-48 applicable to the contaminating listed hazardous waste and/or the applicable characteristic of hazardous waste if the soil is characteristic. The treatment standards specified in Subsection R315-268-49(c) and the Universal Treatment Standards may be modified through a treatment variance approved in accordance with Section R315-268-44.
(c) Treatment standards for contaminated soils. Prior to land disposal, contaminated soil identified by Subsection R315-268-49(a) as needing to comply with LDRs shall be treated according to all the standards specified in Subsection R315-268-49(c) or according to the Universal Treatment Standards specified in Section R315-268-48.
(d) Constituents subject to treatment. When applying the soil treatment standards in Subsection R315-268-49(c), constituents subject to treatment are any constituents listed in Section R315-268-48 Table UTS-Universal Treatment Standards that are reasonably expected to be present in any given volume of contaminated soil, except fluoride, selenium, sulfides, vanadium, zinc, and that are present at concentrations greater than ten times the universal treatment standard. PCBs are not constituent subject to treatment in any given volume of soil which exhibits the toxicity characteristic solely because of the presence of metals.
(e) Management of treatment residuals. Treatment residuals from treating contaminated soil identified by Subsection R315-268-49(a) as needing to comply with LDRs shall be managed as follows:
