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

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.
(90) 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.
(91) 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.
(92) Industrial solid waste--Solid waste resulting
from or incidental to any process of industry or manufacturing, or
mining or agricultural operation, which may include "Hazardous waste"
as defined in this section.
(93) Infrared incinerator--Any enclosed device that
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.
(94) Inground tank--A device meeting the definition
of "Tank" in this section whereby a portion of the tank wall is situated
to any degree within the ground, thereby preventing visual inspection
of that external surface area of the tank that is in the ground.
(95) Injection well--A well into which fluids are injected. (See also "Underground injection.")
(96) Inner liner--A continuous layer of material placed
inside a tank or container which protects the construction materials
of the tank or container from the contained waste or reagents used
to treat the waste.
(97) Installation inspector--A person who, by reason
of his knowledge of the physical sciences and the principles of engineering,
acquired by a professional education and related practical experience,
is qualified to supervise the installation of tank systems.
(98) Intermediate facility--Any facility that stores
hazardous secondary materials for more than ten days, other than a
hazardous secondary material generator or reclaimer of such material.
(99) International shipment--The transportation of
hazardous waste into or out of the jurisdiction of the United States.
(100) Lamp--Has the definition adopted under §335.261
of this title (relating to Universal Waste Rule).
(101) Land-based unit--When used to describe recycling
of hazardous secondary materials, an area where hazardous secondary
materials are placed in or on the land before recycling. This definition
does not include land-based production units.
(102) Land treatment facility--A facility or part of
a facility at which solid waste or hazardous waste is applied onto
or incorporated into the soil surface and that is not a corrective
action management unit; such facilities are disposal facilities if
the waste will remain after closure.
(103) Landfill--A disposal facility or part of a facility
where solid waste or hazardous waste is placed in or on land and which
is not a pile, a land treatment facility, a surface impoundment, an
injection well, a salt dome formation, a salt bed formation, an underground
mine, a cave, or a corrective action management unit.
(104) Landfill cell--A discrete volume of a solid waste
or hazardous waste landfill which uses a liner to provide isolation
of wastes from adjacent cells or wastes. Examples of landfill cells
are trenches and pits.
(105) Large quantity generator--A generator who generates
any of the following amounts in a calendar month:
(A) greater than or equal to 1,000 kilograms (2,200
pounds) of non-acute hazardous waste; or
(B) greater than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of acute hazardous
waste listed in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §261.31
or §261.33(e); or
(C) greater than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of any

(106) Leachate--Any liquid, including any suspended
components in the liquid, that has percolated through or drained from

(107) Leak-detection system--A system capable of detecting
the failure of either the primary or secondary containment structure
or the presence of a release of solid waste or hazardous waste or
accumulated liquid in the secondary containment structure. Such a
system must employ operational controls (e.g., daily visual inspections
for releases into the secondary containment system of aboveground
tanks) or consist of an interstitial monitoring device designed to
detect continuously and automatically the failure of the primary or
secondary containment structure or the presence of a release of solid
waste or hazardous waste into the secondary containment Cont'd... |
