RULE §335.327	Alternate Methods of Dry Weight Determination

(a) Generators may select other test methods for the purpose of calculating the dry weight of their waste where one of the methods provided in §335.326 of this title (relating to Dry Weight Determination) is not applicable. Technical justification must be sent to the executive director, demonstrating that the proposed method will produce an accurate determination of the dry weight ratio of the waste unless the executive director has provided written approval for use of the alternate method. Use of an evaporation temperature above 75 degrees Celsius will be allowed only on demonstration that the waste stream contains appreciable volatile compounds that exhibit higher evaporation temperatures. Where practicable, results from the proposed test methods and the required method should be compared. Applicability of this item to such dry weight determinations is subject to review by the executive director.

(b) Generators may elect to declare the total wet weight of the waste as the dry weight.
