| (70) Gasification--A process through which recoverable
feedstocks are heated and converted into a fuel-gas mixture in an
oxygen-deficient atmosphere and the mixture is converted into a valuable

gasoline, diesel and gasoline blendstock, home heating oil, ethanol,
or another fuel.
(71) Gasification facility--A facility that receives,
separates, stores, and converts post-use polymers and recoverable
feedstocks using gasification.
(72) Generator--Any person, by site, who produces municipal
hazardous waste or industrial solid waste; any person who possesses
municipal hazardous waste or industrial solid waste to be shipped
to any other person; or any person whose act first causes the solid

Recovery Act of 1976, §3001 (42 United States Code, §6921).
The administrator has identified the characteristics of hazardous
wastes and listed certain wastes as hazardous in 40 Code of Federal

whose act or process produces hazardous secondary materials at the
generating facility. For purposes of this paragraph, "generating facility"
means all contiguous property owned, leased, or otherwise controlled
by the hazardous secondary material generator. For the purposes of
40 Code of Federal Regulations §261.4(a)(23), a facility that
collects hazardous secondary materials from other persons is not the
hazardous secondary material generator.
(77) Hazardous substance--Any substance designated
as a hazardous substance under 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part
302.
(78) Hazardous waste--Any solid waste identified or
listed as a hazardous waste by the administrator of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency in accordance with the federal Solid
Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act, 42 United States Code, §§6901 et
seq.
(79) Hazardous waste constituent--A constituent that
caused the administrator to list the hazardous waste in 40 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 261, Subpart D or a constituent listed
in Table 1 of 40 CFR §261.24.
(80) Hazardous waste management facility--All contiguous
land, including structures, appurtenances, and other improvements
on the land, used for processing, storing, or disposing of hazardous
waste. The term includes a publicly- or privately-owned hazardous
waste management facility consisting of processing, storage, or disposal
operational hazardous waste management units such as one or more landfills,
surface impoundments, waste piles, incinerators, boilers, and industrial
furnaces, including cement kilns, injection wells, salt dome waste
containment caverns, land treatment facilities, or a combination of
units.
(81) Hazardous waste management unit--A landfill, surface
impoundment, waste pile, industrial furnace, incinerator, cement kiln,
injection well, container, drum, salt dome waste containment cavern,
or land treatment unit, or any other structure, vessel, appurtenance,
or other improvement on land used to manage hazardous waste.
(82) In operation--Refers to a facility which is processing,
storing, or disposing of solid waste or hazardous waste.
(83) Inactive portion--That portion of a facility which
is not operated after November 19, 1980. (See also
"Active portion" and "Closed portion.")
(84) Incinerator--
(A) Any enclosed device that:
(i) uses controlled flame combustion and neither meets
the criteria for classification as a boiler, sludge dryer, or carbon
regeneration unit, nor is listed as an industrial furnace; or
(ii) meets the definition of "Infrared incinerator"
or "Plasma arc incinerator."
(B) Does not include a "Gasification facility" or "Pyrolysis
facility," managing "Recoverable feedstock," as defined in this section.
(85) Incompatible waste--A hazardous waste which is
unsuitable for:
(A) placement in a particular device or facility because
it may cause corrosion or decay of containment materials (e.g., container
inner liners or tank walls); or
(B) commingling with another waste or material under
uncontrolled conditions because the commingling might produce heat
or pressure, fire or explosion, violent reaction, toxic dusts, mists,
fumes, or gases, or flammable fumes or gases.
(86) Individual generation site--The contiguous site
at or on which one or more solid waste or hazardous wastes are generated.
An individual generation site, such as a large manufacturing plant,
may have one or more sources of solid waste or hazardous waste, but
is considered a single or individual generation site if the site or
property is contiguous.
(87) Industrial furnace--Includes any of the following
enclosed devices that use thermal treatment to accomplish recovery
of materials or energy:
(A) cement kilns;
(B) lime kilns;
(C) aggregate kilns;
(D) phosphate kilns;
(E) coke ovens;
(F) blast furnaces;
(G) smelting, melting, and refining furnaces (including
pyrometallurgical devices such as cupolas, reverberator furnaces,
sintering machines, roasters, and foundry furnaces);
(H) titanium dioxide chloride process oxidation reactors;
(I) methane reforming furnaces;
(J) pulping liquor recovery furnaces;
(K) combustion devices used in the recovery of sulfur
values from spent sulfuric acid;
(L) halogen acid furnaces for the production of acid
from halogenated hazardous waste generated by chemical production
facilities where the furnace is located on the site of a chemical
production facility, the acid product has a halogen acid content of
at least 3.0%, the acid product is used in a manufacturing process,
and, except for "Hazardous waste" burned as fuel, hazardous waste
fed to the furnace has a minimum halogen content of 20% as generated;
and
(M) other devices the commission may list, after the
opportunity for notice and comment is afforded to the public.

from or incidental to any process of industry or manufacturing, or
mining or agricultural operation, which may include "Hazardous waste"

uses electric powered resistance heaters as a source of radiant heat
followed by an afterburner using controlled flame combustion and which
is not listed as an industrial furnace.
(90) Inground tank--A device meeting the definition
of "Tank" in this section whereby a portion of the tank wall is situated
