Ohio Laws and Rules
(A) A prohibited waste identified in the table in this rule “Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes” may be land disposed only if it meets the requirements found in the table in this rule. For each waste, the table in this rule identifies one of three types of treatment standard requirements:
(1) All hazardous constituents in the waste or in the treatment residue must be at or below the values found in the table in this rule for that waste (“total waste standards”); or
(2) The hazardous constituents in the extract of the waste or in the extract of the treatment residue must be at or below the values found in the table in this rule (“waste extract standards”); or
(3) The waste must be treated using the technology specified in the table in this rule (“technology standard”), which are described in detail in the table in rule 3745-270-42 of the Administrative Code.
(B)
(1) For wastewaters, compliance with concentration level standards is based on maximums for any one day, except for D004 to D011 wastes for which the previously promulgated treatment standards based on grab samples remain in effect.
(2) For all nonwastewaters, compliance with concentration level standards is based on grab sampling.
(3) For wastes covered by the waste extract standards, the test method 1311, the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure found in “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods”, U.S. EPA publication SW-846, must be used to measure compliance. An exception is made for D004 and D008, for which either of two test methods may be used: method 1311, or method 1310B, the extraction procedure toxicity test.
(4) For wastes covered by a technology standard, the wastes may be land disposed after being treated using that specified technology or an equivalent treatment technology approved by the director under the procedures set forth in paragraph (B) of rule 3745- 270-42 of the Administrative Code.
(C) When wastes with differing treatment standards for a constituent of concern are combined for purposes of treatment, the treatment residue must meet the lowest treatment standard for the constituent of concern.
(D) Notwithstanding the prohibitions specified in paragraph (A) of this rule, treatment and disposal facilities may demonstrate [and certify pursuant to paragraph (B)(5) of rule 3745- 270-07 of the Administrative Code] compliance with the treatment standards for organic constituents specified by a footnote in the table in this rule, provided the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) The treatment standards for the organic constituents were established based on incineration in units operated in accordance with the technical requirements of rules 3745-57-40 to 3745-57-51 of the Administrative Code, or based on combustion in fuel substitution units operating in accordance with applicable technical requirements in the hazardous waste rules;
(2) The treatment or disposal facility has used the methods referenced in paragraph (D)(1) of this rule to treat the organic constituents; and
(3) The treatment or disposal facility may demonstrate compliance with organic constituents if good-faith analytical efforts achieve detection limits for the regulated organic constituents that do not exceed by an order of magnitude the treatment standards specified in this rule.
(E) For characteristic wastes (D001 to D043) that are subject to treatment standards in the table in this rule, and are not managed in a wastewater treatment system that is regulated under the Clean Water Act (CWA), that is CWA-equivalent, or that is injected into a “Class I” nonhazardous deep injection well, all underlying hazardous constituents (as defined in rule 3745-270-02 of the Administrative Code) must meet universal treatment standards found in the table in rule 3745-270-48 of the Administrative Code prior to land disposal(as defined in rule 3745-270-02 of the Administrative Code).
(F) The treatment standards for F001 to F005 nonwastewater constituents carbon disulfide, cyclohexanone, and/or methanol apply to wastes which contain only one, two, or three of these constituents. Compliance is measured for these constituents in the waste extract from test method 1311. If the waste contains any of these three constituents along with any of the other twenty-five constituents found in F001 to F005, then compliance with treatment standards for carbon disulfide, cyclohexanone, and/or methanol is not required.
(G) Reserved.
(H) Prohibited D004 to D011 mixed radioactive wastes and mixed radioactive listed wastes containing metal constituents, that were previously treated by stabilization to the treatment standards in effect at that time and then put into storage, do not have to be re-treated to meet treatment standards in this rule prior to land disposal.
(I) Reserved.
(J) The treatment standards for the wastes specified in rule 3745-51-33 of the Administrative Code as EPA hazardous waste numbers P185, P191, P192, P197, U364, U394, and U395 may be satisfied by either meeting the constituent concentrations presented in the table in this rule, or by treating the waste by the following technologies: combustion, as defined by the technology code CMBST inthe table in rule 3745-270-42 of the Administrative Code, for nonwastewaters; and, biodegradation as defined by the technology code BIODG, carbon adsorption as defined by the technology code CARBN, chemical oxidation as defined by the technology code CHOXD, or combustion as defined as technology code CMBST in the table in rule 3745-270-42 of the Administrative Code, for wastewaters.

The treatment standards that previously appeared in tables in rules 3745-59-41, 3745-59-42, and 3745-59-43 of the Administrative Code have been consolidated into this table.
