Chapter 3745-51 | Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste

 
 
 
Rule
Rule 3745-51-01 | Purpose and scope of Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code.
 

(A) Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code identifies those wastes which are subject to regulation as hazardous wastes under Chapters 3745-50, 3745-52, 3745-53, 3745-54 to 3745-57, 3745-65 to 3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, and 3745-270 of the Administrative Code, and which are subject to the requirement to notify Ohio EPA or U.S. EPA of regulated waste activity. Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code includes:

(1) Rules 3745-51-01 to 3745-51-09 of the Administrative Code define the terms "waste" and "hazardous waste," identify those wastes which are excluded from regulation under Chapters 3745-52, 3745-53, 3745-54 to 3745-57, 3745-65 to 3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, 3745-266, 3745-270, and rules 374-50-40 to 3745-50-235 of the Administrative Code, and establish special management requirements for hazardous waste produced by very small quantity generators and hazardous waste which is recycled.

(2) Rules 3745-51-10 to 3745-51-11 of the Administrative Code provide the criteria used to identify characteristics of hazardous waste and to list particular hazardous wastes.

(3) Rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code identify characteristics of hazardous waste.

(4) Rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-33 of the Administrative Code list particular hazardous wastes.

(B)

(1) The definition of "waste" in Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code applies only to wastes that are also hazardous for purposes of the regulations adopted pursuant to section 3734.12 of the Revised Code. For example, the definition does not apply to materials (such as non-hazardous scrap, paper, textiles, or rubber) that are not otherwise hazardous wastes and that are recycled.

(2) A material which is not defined as a "waste" in Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code, or is not a hazardous waste identified or listed in Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code, still may be construction and demolitions debris, solid waste, infectious waste, hazardous waste, industrial waste, or other waste for purposes of Chapters 3714., 3734., and 6111. of the Revised Code if:

(a) In the case of Chapters 3714., 3734. and 6111. of the Revised Code, the director has reason to believe that the material may be "construction and demolition debris" as defined in section 3714.01 of the Revised Code, "solid waste" or "hazardous waste" as defined in section 3734.01 of the Revised Code, or "industrial waste" or "other waste" as defined in section 6111.01 of the Revised Code; or

(b) In the case of Chapter 6111. of the Revised Code, the statutory elements are established.

(C) For purposes of rules 3745-51-02 and 3745-51-06 of the Administrative Code:

(1) A "spent material" is any material that has been used and as a result of contamination can no longer serve the purpose for which the material was produced without processing.

(2) "Sludge" has the same meaning as in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code.

(3) A "by-product" is a material that is not one of the primary products of a production process and is not solely or separately produced by the production process. Examples are process residues such as slags or distillation column bottoms. By-product does not include a co-product that is produced for the general public's use and is ordinarily used in the form the co-product is produced by the process.

(4) A material is "reclaimed" if the material is processed to recover a usable product, or if the material is regenerated. Examples are recovery of lead values from spent batteries and regeneration of spent solvents. In addition, for purposes of paragraphs (A)(23) and (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code, smelting, melting, and refining furnaces are considered to be solely engaged in metals reclamation if the metal recovery from the hazardous secondary materials meets the same requirements as those specified for metals recovery from hazardous waste in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(3) of rule 3745-266-100 of the Administrative Code, and if the residuals meet the requirements specified in rule 3745-266-112 of the Adminsitrative Code.

(5) A material is used or reused if the material is either:

(a) Employed as an ingredient (including use as an intermediate) in an industrial process to make a product (for example, distillation bottoms from one process used as feedstock in another process). However, a material will not satisfy this condition if distinct components of the material are recovered as separate end products (as when metals are recovered from metal-containing secondary materials); or

(b) Employed in a particular function or application as an effective substitute for a commercial product (for example, spent pickle liquor used as phosphorous precipitant and sludge conditioner in wastewater treatment).

(6) "Scrap metal" is bits and pieces of metal parts (e.g., bars, turnings, rods, sheets, wire) or metal pieces that may be combined together with bolts or soldering (e.g., radiators, scrap automobiles, railroad box cars), which when worn or superfluous can be recycled.

(7) A material is "recycled" if the material is used, reused, or reclaimed.

(8) A material is "accumulated speculatively" if the material is accumulated before being recycled. A material is not accumulated speculatively, however, if the person accumulating the material can show that the material is potentially recyclable and has a feasible means of being recycled; and that during the calendar year commencing January first, the amount of material that is recycled, or transferred to a different site for recycling, equals at least seventy-five per cent by weight or volume of the amount of that material accumulated at the beginning of the calendar year. Materials shall be placed in a storage unit with a label indicating the first date that the material began to be accumulated. If placing a label on the storage unit is not practicable, the accumulation period shall be documented through an inventory log or other appropriate method. In calculating the percentage of turnover, the seventy-five per cent requirement is to be applied to each material of the same type (e.g., slags from a single smelting process) that is recycled in the same way (i.e., from which the same material is recovered or that is used in the same way). Materials accumulating in units that would be exempt from regulation under paragraph (C) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code are not to be included in making the calculation. Materials that are already defined as "wastes" also are not to be included in making the calculation. Materials are no longer in this category once the materials are removed from accumulation for recycling.

(9) "Excluded scrap metal" is processed scrap metal, unprocessed home scrap metal, and unprocessed prompt scrap metal.

(10) "Processed scrap metal" is scrap metal which has been manually or physically altered either to separate the scrap metal into distinct materials to enhance economic value, or to improve the handling of materials. Processed scrap metal includes, but is not limited to, scrap metal which has been baled, shredded, sheared, chopped, crushed, flattened, cut, melted, or separated by metal type (i.e., sorted), and fines, drosses, and related materials which have been agglomerated.

[Comment: Shredded circuit boards being sent for recycling are not considered processed scrap metal. Such materials are covered under the exclusion from the definition of "waste" for shredded circuit boards being recycled in paragraph (A)(14) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code.]

(11) "Home scrap metal" is scrap metal as generated by steel mills, foundries, and refineries, such as turnings, cuttings, punchings, and borings.

(12) "Prompt scrap metal" is scrap metal as generated by the metal working or metal fabrication industries, and includes such scrap metal as turnings, cuttings, punchings, and borings. Prompt scrap is also known as industrial or new scrap metal.

Rule 3745-51-02 | Definition of waste.
 

(A)

(1) A "waste" is any discarded material that is not excluded by paragraph (A) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code or that is not excluded by variance granted under rules 3745-50-23 and 3745-50-24 of the Administrative Code or that is not excluded by a non-waste determination under rules 3745-50-23 and 3745-50-15 of the Administrative Code.

(2) A "discarded material" is any material which is:

(a) Abandoned, as explained in paragraph (B) of this rule; or

(b) Recycled, as explained in paragraph (C) of this rule; or

(c) Considered inherently waste-like, as explained in paragraph (D) of this rule; or

(d) A military munition identified as a waste in rule 3745-266-202 of the Administrative Code.

(B) Materials are waste if the materials are abandoned by being:

(1) Disposed of; or

(2) Burned or incinerated; or

(3) Accumulated, stored, or treated (but not recycled) before or in lieu of being abandoned by being disposed, burned, or incinerated; or

(4) Sham recycled, as explained in paragraph (G) of this rule.

(C) Materials are wastes if the materials are recycled- or accumulated, stored, or treated before recycling,- as specified in paragraphs (C)(1) to (C)(4) of this rule.

(1) Used in a manner constituting disposal.

(a) Materials noted with an asterisk in column 1 of the table in this rule are wastes when the materials are:

(i) Applied to or placed on the land in a manner that constitutes disposal; or

(ii) Used to produce products that are applied to or placed on the land or are otherwise contained in products that are applied to or placed on the land (in which cases the product remains a waste).

(b) However, commercial chemical products listed in rule 3745-51-33 of the Administrative Code are not wastes if the products are applied to the land and that is the ordinary manner of use.

(2) Burning for energy recovery.

(a) Materials noted with an asterisk in column 2 of the table in this rule are wastes when the materials are:

(i) Burned to recover energy; or

(ii) Used to produce a fuel, or are otherwise contained in fuels (in which cases the fuel remains a waste).

(b) However, commercial chemical products listed in rule 3745-51-33 of the Administrative Code are not wastes if the commercial chemical products are fuels.

(3) Reclaimed. Materials noted with an asterisk in column 3 of the table in this rule are wastes when reclaimed [except as provided in paragraph (A)(17), (A)(23), (A)(24), or (A)(27) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code]. Materials noted with a dash in column 3 of the table in this rule are not wastes when reclaimed.

(4) Accumulated speculatively. Materials noted with an asterisk in column 4 of the table in this rule are wastes when accumulated speculatively.

(D) Inherently waste-like materials. The following materials are wastes when the materials are recycled in any manner:

(1) Hazardous wastes numbers F020, F021 (unless used as an ingredient to make a product at the site of generation), F022, F023, F026, and F028.

(2) Secondary materials fed to a halogen acid furnace that exhibit a characteristic of a hazardous waste, as described in rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code, or are listed as a hazardous waste, as described in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code, except for brominated material that meets the following criteria:

(a) The material shall contain a bromine concentration of at least forty-five per cent; and

(b) The material shall contain less than a total of one per cent of toxic organic compounds listed in the appendix to rule 3745-51-11 of the Administrative Code; and

(c) The material is processed continually on-site in the halogen acid furnace via direct conveyance (hard piping).

(3) The director will use the following criteria to add wastes to the list of inherently waste-like materials:

(a)

(i) The materials are ordinarily disposed of, burned, or incinerated; or

(ii) The materials contain toxic constituents listed in the appendix to rule 3745-51-11 of the Administrative Code and these constituents are not ordinarily found in raw materials or products for which the materials substitute (or are found in raw materials or products in smaller concentrations) and are not used or reused during the recycling process; and

(b) The materials may pose a substantial hazard to human health and the environment when recycled.

(E) Materials that are not waste when recycled.

(1) Materials are not wastes when the materials can be shown to be recycled by being:

(a) Used or reused as ingredients in an industrial process to make a product, provided the materials are not being reclaimed; or

(b) Used or reused as effective substitutes for commercial products; or

(c) Returned to the original process from which the materials were generated, without first being reclaimed or land disposed. The materials shall be returned as a substitute for feedstock materials. In cases where the original process to which the material is returned is a secondary process, the materials shall be managed such that there is no placement on the land. In cases where the materials are generated and reclaimed within the primary mineral processing industry, the conditions of the exclusion found in paragraph (A)(17) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code apply rather than this provision.

(2) The following materials are wastes, even if the recycling involves use, reuse, or return to the original process [as described in paragraphs (E)(1)(a) to (E)(1)(c) of this rule]:

(a) Materials used in a manner constituting disposal, or used to produce products that are applied to the land; or

(b) Materials burned for energy recovery, used to produce a fuel, or contained in fuels; or

(c) Materials accumulated speculatively; or

(d) Materials listed in paragraphs (D)(1) and (D)(2) of this rule.

(F) Documentation of claims that materials are not wastes or are conditionally exempt from regulation. Respondents in actions to enforce regulations adopted under Chapter 3734. of the Revised Code who raise a claim that a certain material is not a waste, or is conditionally exempt from regulation, shall demonstrate that there is a known market or disposition for the material and that the respondent meets the terms of the exclusion or exemption. In doing so, the respondent shall provide appropriate documentation (such as contracts showing that a second person uses the material as an ingredient in a production process) to demonstrate that the material is not a waste, or is exempt from regulation. In addition, owners or operators of facilities claiming that the facilities actually are recycling materials shall show that the facilities have the necessary equipment to do so.

Rule 3745-51-03 | Definition of hazardous waste.
 

(A) A "waste," as defined in rule 3745-51-02 of the Administrative Code, is a "hazardous waste" if:

(1) The waste is not excluded from regulation as a hazardous waste under paragraph (B) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code; and

(2) The waste meets any of the following criteria:

(a) The waste exhibits any of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code. However, any mixture of a waste from the extraction, beneficiation, and processing of ores and minerals excluded under paragraph (B)(7) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code and any other waste exhibiting a characteristic of hazardous waste under rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code is a hazardous waste only if such mixture exhibits a characteristic that would not have been exhibited by the excluded waste alone if such mixture had not occurred, or if such mixture continues to exhibit any of the characteristics exhibited by the non-excluded wastes prior to mixture. Further, for the purposes of applying the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure to such mixtures, the mixture is also a hazardous waste if such mixture exceeds the maximum concentration for any contaminant listed in the table in rule 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code that would not have been exceeded by the excluded waste alone if the mixture had not occurred or if such mixture continues to exceed the maximum concentration for any contaminant exceeded by the nonexempt waste prior to mixture.

(b) The waste is listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code and has not been excluded from the lists in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code under 40 CFR 260.20 and 40 CFR 260.22.

(c) The waste is a mixture of waste and one or more hazardous wastes listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code and has not been excluded from paragraph (A)(2) of this rule under 40 CFR 260.20 and 40 CFR 260.22, paragraph (G) of this rule, or paragraph (H) of this rule. However, the following mixtures of wastes and hazardous wastes listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code are not hazardous wastes [except by application of paragraph (A)(2)(a) or (A)(2)(b) of this rule] if the generator can demonstrate that the mixture consists of wastewater, the discharge of which is subject to regulation under either Section 402 or Section 307(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (including wastewater at facilities which have eliminated the discharge of wastewater) and:

(i) One or more of the following spent solvents listed in rule 3745-51-31 of the Administrative Code - carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene or the scrubber water derived-from the combustion of these spent solvents- provided that the maximum total weekly usage of these solvents (other than the amounts that can be demonstrated not to be discharged to wastewater) divided by the average weekly flow of wastewater into the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment or pretreatment system does not exceed one part per million; or the total measured concentration of these solvents entering the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment system (at facilities subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act (CAA) at 40 CFR Part 60, 40 CFR Part 61, or 40 CFR Part 63, or at facilities subject to an enforceable limit in a federal operating permit that minimizes fugitive emissions), does not exceed one part per million on an average weekly basis. Any facility that uses benzene as a solvent and claims this exemption shall use an aerated biological wastewater treatment system and shall use only lined surface impoundments or tanks prior to secondary clarification in the wastewater treatment system. Facilities that choose to measure concentration levels shall file a copy of the facility's sampling and analysis plan with the regional administrator, or the director, as the context requires. A facility shall file a copy of a revised sampling and analysis plan only if the initial plan is rendered inaccurate by changes in the facility's operations. The sampling and analysis plan shall include the monitoring point location (headworks), the sampling frequency and methodology, and a list of constituents to be monitored. A facility is eligible for the direct monitoring option once the facility receives confirmation that the sampling and analysis plan has been received by the director. The director may reject the sampling and analysis plan if the director finds that the sampling and analysis plan fails to include the information required in this paragraph, or if the plan parameters would not enable the facility to accurately calculate the weekly average concentration of these chemicals. If the director rejects the sampling and analysis plan, or if the director finds that the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the director shall notify the facility to cease the use of the direct monitoring option until such time as the bases for rejection are corrected; or

(ii) One or more of the following spent solvents listed in rule 3745-51-31 of the Administrative Code - methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, cresols, cresylic acid, nitrobenzene, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon disulfide, isobutanol, pyridine, spent chlorofluorocarbon solvents, 2-ethoxyethanol, or the scrubber waters derived-from the combustion of these spent solvents - provided that the maximum total weekly usage of these solvents (other than the amounts that can be demonstrated not to be discharged to wastewater) divided by the average weekly flow of wastewater into the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment or pretreatment system does not exceed twenty-five parts per million, or the total measured concentration of these solvents entering the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment system (at facilities subject to regulation under the CAA at 40 CFR Part 60, 40 CFR Part 61, or 40 CFR Part 63, or at facilities subject to an enforceable limit in a federal operating permit that minimizes fugitive emissions), does not exceed twenty-five parts per million on an average weekly basis. Facilities that choose to measure concentration levels shall file a copy of the facility's sampling and analysis plan with the regional administrator, or the director, as the context requires. A facility shall file a copy of a revised sampling and analysis plan only if the initial plan is rendered inaccurate by changes in the facility's operations. The sampling and analysis plan shall include the monitoring point location (headworks), the sampling frequency and methodology, and a list of constituents to be monitored. A facility is eligible for the direct monitoring option once the facility receives confirmation that the sampling and analysis plan has been received by the director. The director may reject the sampling and analysis plan if the director finds that the sampling and analysis plan fails to include the information required in this paragraph, or if the plan parameters would not enable the facility to accurately calculate the weekly average concentration of these chemicals. If the director rejects the sampling and analysis plan, or if the director finds that the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the director shall notify the facility to cease the use of the direct monitoring option until such time as the bases for rejection are corrected; or

(iii) One of the following wastes listed in rule 3745-51-32 of the Administrative Code, provided that the wastes are discharged to the refinery oil recovery sewer before primary oil or water or solids separation - heat exchanger bundle cleaning sludge from the petroleum refining industry (EPA hazardous waste number K050), crude oil storage tank sediment from petroleum refining operations (EPA hazardous waste number K169), clarified slurry oil tank sediment or in-line filter solids or separation solids from petroleum refining operations (EPA hazardous waste number K170), spent hydrotreating catalyst (EPA hazardous waste number K171), and spent hydrorefining catalyst (EPA hazardous waste number K172); or

(iv) A discarded hazardous waste, commercial chemical product, or chemical intermediate listed in rules 3745-51-31 to 3745-51-33 of the Administrative Code, arising from de minimis losses of these materials. For purposes of this paragraph, "de minimis losses" are inadvertent releases to a wastewater treatment system, including those from normal material handling operations (e.g., spills from the unloading or transfer of materials from bins or other containers, leaks from pipes, valves, or other devices used to transfer materials); minor leaks of process equipment, storage tanks, or containers; leaks from well-maintained pump packings and seals; sample purgings; relief device discharges; discharges from safety showers and rinsing and cleaning of personal safety equipment; and rinsate from empty containers or from containers that are rendered empty by that rinsing. Any manufacturing facility that claims an exemption for de minimis quantities of wastes listed in rules 3745-51-31 to 3745-51-32 of the Administrative Code, or any non-manufacturing facility that claims an exemption for de minimis quantities of wastes listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code, either shall have eliminated the discharge of wastewaters or shall have included in the facility's CWA permit application or submittal to the facility's pretreatment control authority the constituents for which each waste was listed (in the appendix to rule 3745-51-30 of the Administrative Code); and the constituents in the table "Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes" in rule 3745-270-40 of the Administrative Code for which each waste has a treatment standard (i.e., land disposal restriction constituents). A facility is eligible to claim the exemption once the permit writer or control authority has been notified of possible de minimis releases via the CWA permit application or the pretreatment control authority submittal. A copy of the CWA permit application or the submittal to the pretreatment control authority shall be placed in the facility's files; or

(v) Wastewater resulting from laboratory operations containing toxic (T) wastes listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code, provided that the annualized average flow of laboratory wastewater does not exceed one per cent of total wastewater flow into the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment or pretreatment system, or provided the wastes' combined annualized average concentration does not exceed one part per million in the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment or pretreatment facility. Toxic (T) wastes used in laboratories that are demonstrated not to be discharged to wastewater are not to be included in this calculation; or

(vi) One or more of the following wastes listed in rule 3745-51-32 of the Administrative Code - wastewaters from the production of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes (EPA hazardous waste number K157) - provided that the maximum weekly usage of formaldehyde, methyl chloride, methylene chloride, and triethylamine (including all amounts that cannot be demonstrated to be reacted in the process, destroyed through treatment, or recovered, i.e., what is discharged or volatilized) divided by the average weekly flow of process wastewater prior to any dilutions into the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment system does not exceed a total of five parts per million by weight; or the total measured concentration of these chemicals entering the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment system (at facilities subject to regulation under the CAA at 40 CFR Part 60, 40 CFR Part 61, or 40 CFR Part 63, or at facilities subject to an enforceable limit in a federal operating permit that minimizes fugitive emissions), does not exceed five parts per million on an average weekly basis. Facilities that choose to measure concentration levels shall file a copy of the facility's sampling and analysis plan with the regional administrator, or the director, as the context requires. A facility shall file a copy of a revised sampling and analysis plan only if the initial plan is rendered inaccurate by changes in the facility's operations. The sampling and analysis plan shall include the monitoring point location (headworks), the sampling frequency and methodology, and a list of constituents to be monitored. A facility is eligible for the direct monitoring option once the facility receives confirmation that the sampling and analysis plan has been received by the director. The director may reject the sampling and analysis plan if the director finds that the sampling and analysis plan fails to include the information required in this paragraph, or if the plan parameters would not enable the facility to accurately calculate the weekly average concentration of these chemicals. If the director rejects the sampling and analysis plan, or if the director finds that the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the director shall notify the facility to cease the use of the direct monitoring option until such time as the bases for rejection are corrected; or

(vii) Wastewaters derived-from the treatment of one or more of the following wastes listed in rule 3745-51-32 of the Administrative Code- organic waste (including heavy ends, still bottoms, light ends, spent solvents, filtrates, and decantates) from the production of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes (EPA hazardous waste number K156) - provided that the maximum concentration of formaldehyde, methyl chloride, methylene chloride, and triethylamine prior to any dilutions into the headworks of the facility's wastewater treatment system does not exceed a total of five milligrams per liter or the total measured concentration of these chemicals entering the headworks of the facilitys wastewater treatment system (at facilities subject to regulation under the CAA at 40 CFR Part 60, 40 CFR Part 61, or 40 CFR Part 63, or at facilities subject to an enforceable limit in a federal operating permit that minimizes fugitive emissions), does not exceed five milligrams per liter on an average weekly basis. Facilities that choose to measure concentration levels shall file a copy of the facility's sampling and analysis plan with the regional administrator, or the director, as the context requires. A facility shall file a copy of a revised sampling and analysis plan only if the initial plan is rendered inaccurate by changes in the facility's operations. The sampling and analysis plan shall include the monitoring point location (headworks), the sampling frequency and methodology, and a list of constituents to be monitored. A facility is eligible for the direct monitoring option once the facility receives confirmation that the sampling and analysis plan has been received by the director. The director may reject the sampling and analysis plan if the director finds that the sampling and analysis plan fails to include the information required in this paragraph, or if the plan parameters would not enable the facility to accurately calculate the weekly average concentration of these chemicals. If the director rejects the sampling and analysis plan, or if the director finds that the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the director shall notify the facility to cease the use of the direct monitoring option until such time as the bases for rejection are corrected.

(d) Rebuttable presumption for used oil. Used oil containing more than one thousand parts per million total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste because the used oil has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code. Persons may rebut this presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for example, to show that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in the appendix to rule 3745-51-11 of the Administrative Code).

(i) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils or fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling agreement, to reclaim metalworking oils or fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oils or fluids if such oils or fluids are recycled in any other manner, or disposed.

(ii) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration units where the CFCs are destined for reclamation. The rebuttable presumption does apply to used oils contaminated with CFCs that have been mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.

(B) A waste which is not excluded from regulation under paragraph (A)(1) of this rule becomes a hazardous waste when any of the following events occur:

(1) In the case of a waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code, when the waste first meets the listing description in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code.

(2) In the case of a mixture of waste and one or more listed hazardous wastes, when a hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code is first added to the waste.

(3) In the case of any other waste (including a waste mixture), when the waste exhibits any of the characteristics identified in rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code.

(C) Unless and until a hazardous waste meets the criteria of paragraph (D) of this rule:

(1) A hazardous waste will remain a hazardous waste.

(2)

(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (C)(2)(b), (G), or (H) of this rule, any waste generated from the treatment, storage, or disposal of a hazardous waste, including any sludge, spill residue, ash, emission control dust, or leachate (but not including precipitation run-off) is a hazardous waste. (However, materials that are reclaimed from wastes and that are used beneficially are not wastes and hence are not hazardous wastes under this provision unless the reclaimed material is burned for energy recovery or used in a manner constituting disposal.)

(b) The following wastes are not hazardous even though the wastes are generated from the treatment, storage, or disposal of a hazardous waste, unless the wastes exhibit one or more of the characteristics of hazardous waste:

(i) Waste pickle liquor sludge generated by lime stabilization of spent pickle liquor from the iron and steel industry (SIC codes 331X and 332X).

(ii) Waste from burning any of the materials exempted from regulation by paragraphs (A)(3)(c) and (A)(3)(d) of rule 3745-51-06 of the Administrative Code.

(iii)

(a) Nonwastewater residues, such as slag, resulting from high temperature metals recovery (HTMR) processing of K061, K062, or F006 waste, in units defined as rotary kilns, flame reactors, electric furnaces, plasma arc furnaces, slag reactors, rotary hearth furnance or electric furnace combinations, or industrial furnaces [as defined in subparagraphs (f), (g), and (m) of "industrial furnace" in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code], that are disposed in licensed solid waste landfills, provided that these residues meet the generic exclusion levels identified in this paragraph for all constituents, and exhibit no characteristics of hazardous waste. Testing requirements shall be incorporated in a facility's waste analysis plan or a generator's self-implementing waste analysis plan. At a minimum, composite samples of residues shall be collected and analyzed quarterly or when the process or operation generating the waste changes. Persons claiming this exclusion in an enforcement action will have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the material meets all the exclusion requirements.

(b) A one-time notification and certification shall be placed in the facility's files and sent to the director for K061, K062, or F006 HTMR residues that meet the generic exclusion levels for all constituents and do not exhibit any characteristics that are sent to licensed solid waste landfills. The notification and certification that is placed in the generator's or treater's files shall be updated if the process or operation generating the waste changes or if the licensed solid waste landfill receiving the waste changes. However, the generator or treater need only notify the director on an annual basis if such changes occur. Such notification and certification should be sent to the director by the end of the calendar year, but no later than December thirty-first. The notification shall include the following information:

(i) The name and address of the licensed solid waste landfill receiving the waste shipments;

(ii) The EPA hazardous waste numbers and treatability groups at the initial point of generation; and

(iii) The treatment standards in Chapter 3745-270 of the Administrative Code applicable to the waste at the initial point of generation.

(iv) The certification shall be signed by an authorized representative and shall state as follows:

"I certify under penalty of law that the generic exclusion levels for all constituents have been met without impermissible dilution and that no characteristic of hazardous waste is exhibited. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting a false certification, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment."

(iv) Biological treatment sludge from the treatment of one of the following wastes listed in rule 3745-51-32 of the Administrative Code - organic waste (including heavy ends, still bottoms, light ends, spent solvents, filtrates, and decantates) from the production of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes (EPA hazardous waste number K156), and wastewaters from the production of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes (EPA hazardous waste number K157).

(v) Catalyst inert support media separated from one of the following wastes listed in rule 3745-51-32 of the Administrative Code - spent hydrotreating catalyst (EPA hazardous waste number K171), and spent hydrorefining catalyst (EPA hazardous waste number K172).

(D) Any waste described in paragraph (C) of this rule is not a hazardous waste if the waste meets the following criteria:

(1) In the case of any waste, the waste does not exhibit any of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code. However, wastes that exhibit a characteristic at the point of generation may still be subject to Chapter 3745-270 of the Administrative Code, even if the wastes no longer exhibit a characteristic at the point of land disposal.)

(2) In the case of a waste which is listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code, or contains a hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code, or is derived from a hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code, the hazardous waste also has been excluded from paragraph (C) of this rule pursuant to 40 CFR 260.20 and 40 CFR 260.22.

(E) [Reserved.]

(F) Notwithstanding paragraphs (A) to (D) of this rule and provided the "debris" as defined in rule 3745-270-02 of the Administrative Code does not exhibit a characteristic identified in rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code, the following materials are not subject to regulation under Chapters 3745-50, 3745-51, 3745-52, 3745-53, 3745-54 to 3745-57, 3745-65 to 3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, 3745-266, or 3745-270 of the Administrative Code:

(1) "Hazardous debris" as defined in rule 3745-27-02 of the Administrative Code that has been treated using one of the required extraction or destruction technologies identified in the table in rule 3745-270-45 of the Administrative Code. Persons claiming this exclusion in an enforcement action will have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the material meets all the exclusion requirements; or

(2) "Debris" as defined in rule 3745-270-02 of the Administrative Code that the director, considering the extent of contamination, has determined is no longer contaminated with hazardous waste.

(G)

(1) A hazardous waste that is listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code solely because the waste exhibits one or more characteristics of ignitability as identified in rule 3745-51-21 of the Administrative Code, characteristic of corrosivity as identified in rule 3745-51-22 of the Administrative Code, or characteristic of reactivity as identified in rule 3745-51-23 of the Administrative Code is not a hazardous waste, if the waste no longer exhibits any characteristic of hazardous waste identified in rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code.

(2) The exclusion described in paragraph (G)(1) of this rule also pertains to:

(a) Any mixture of a waste and a hazardous waste listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code solely because the mixture exhibits the characteristic of ignitability, characteristic of corrosivity, or characteristic of reactivity as regulated under paragraph (A)(2)(c) of this rule; and

Rule 3745-51-04 | Exclusions.
 

(A) Materials which are not wastes. The following materials are not wastes for the purpose of Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code:

(1) Domestic sewage:

(a) Any mixture of domestic sewage and other wastes that passes through a sewer system to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) for treatment, except as prohibited by rule 3745-266-505 of the Administrative Code and Clean Water Act requirements in paragraph (B)(1) of rule 3745-3-04 of the Administrative Code.

(b) As used in Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code, "domestic sewage" means untreated sanitary wastes that pass through a sewer system.

(2) Industrial wastewater discharges that are point source discharges subject to regulation under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act.

[Comment: This exclusion applies only to the actual point source discharge. The exclusion does not exclude industrial wastewaters while the industrial wastewaters are being collected, stored, or treated before discharge, nor does the exclusion exclude sludges that are generated by industrial wastewater treatment.]

(3) Irrigation return flows.

(4) "Source material," "special nuclear material," or "by-product material" as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954.

(5) Materials subjected to in-situ mining techniques which are not removed from the ground as part of the extraction process.

(6) Pulping liquors (i.e., black liquor) that are reclaimed in a pulping liquor recovery furnace and then reused in the pulping process, unless the pulping liquors are "accumulated speculatively" as described in paragraph (C)(8) of rule 3745-51-01 of the Administrative Code.

(7) Spent sulfuric acid used to produce virgin sulfuric acid, provided the spent sulfuric acid is not "accumulated speculatively" as described in paragraph (C)(8) of rule 3745-51-01 of the Administrative Code.

(8) Secondary materials that are reclaimed and returned to the original process or processes in which the secondary materials were generated where the secondary materials are reused in the production process provided that all of the following:

(a) Only tank storage is involved, and the entire process through completion of reclamation is closed by being entirely connected with pipes or other comparable enclosed means of conveyance.

(b) Reclamation does not involve controlled flame combustion (such as occurs in boilers, industrial furnaces, or incinerators).

(c) The secondary materials are never accumulated in such tanks for over twelve months without being reclaimed.

(d) The reclaimed material is not used to produce a fuel, or used to produce products that are used in a manner constituting disposal.

(9) Wood preserving.

(a) Spent wood preserving solutions that have been reclaimed and are reused for the original intended purpose.

(b) Wastewaters from the wood preserving process that have been reclaimed and are reused to treat wood.

(c) Prior to reuse, the wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions described in paragraphs (A)(9)(a) and (A)(9)(b) of this rule, so long as the wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions meet all of the following conditions:

(i) The wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions are reused on-site at water borne plants in the production process for the original intended purpose.

(ii) Prior to reuse, the wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions are managed to prevent release to either land or ground water or both.

(iii) Any unit used to manage wastewaters or spent wood preserving solutions prior to reuse can be visually or otherwise determined to prevent such releases.

(iv) Any drip pad used to manage the wastewaters or spent wood preserving solutions prior to reuse complies with rules 3745-69-40 to 3745-69-45 of the Administrative Code, regardless of whether the owner or operator generates a total of less than one hundred kilograms of hazardous waste per month.

(v) Prior to operating pursuant to this exclusion, the owner or operator prepares one-time notification stating that the owner or operator intends to claim the exclusion, giving the date on which the owner or operator intends to begin operating under the exclusion, and containing the following language:

"I have read rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code establishing an exclusion for wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions and understand rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code requires me to comply at all times with the conditions set out in the rule."

The owner or operator shall maintain a copy of that document in the facility's on-site records until closure of the facility. The exclusion applies so long as the owner or operator meets all of the conditions. If the owner or operator goes out of compliance with any condition, the owner or operator may apply to the director for reinstatement. The director may reinstate the exclusion upon finding that the owner or operator has returned to compliance with all conditions, and that the violations are not likely to recur.

(10) EPA hazardous waste numbers K060, K087, K141, K142, K143, K144, K145, K147, and K148, and any wastes from the coke by-products processes that are hazardous only because such wastes and by-products exhibit the toxicity characteristic specified in rule 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code when, subsequent to generation, these materials are recycled to coke ovens, to the tar recovery process as a feedstock to produce coal tar, or mixed with coal tar prior to the tar's sale or refining. This exclusion is conditioned on there being no land disposal of the wastes from the point the wastes are generated to the point the wastes are recycled to coke ovens or tar recovery or refining processes, or mixed with coal tar.

(11) Nonwastewater splash condenser dross residue from the treatment of K061 in high temperature metals recovery units, provided such residue is shipped in drums (if shipped) and not land disposed before recovery.

(12) Oil-bearing secondary materials and recovered oil.

(a) Oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials (i.e., sludges, by-products, or spent materials) that are generated at a petroleum refinery (SIC code 2911) and are inserted into the petroleum refining process [SIC code 2911 - including, but not limited to, distillation, catalytic cracking, fractionation, or thermal cracking units (i.e., cokers)] unless the material is placed on the land, or accumulated speculatively before being so recycled. Materials inserted into thermal cracking units are excluded under this paragraph, provided that the coke product also does not exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste. Oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials may be inserted into the same petroleum refinery where the oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials are generated, or sent directly to another petroleum refinery, and still be excluded under this provision. Except as provided in paragraph (A)(12)(b) of this rule, oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials generated elsewhere in the petroleum industry (i.e., from sources other than petroleum refineries) are not excluded under this rule. Residuals generated from processing or recycling materials excluded under this paragraph, where such materials as generated would have otherwise met a listing under rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code, are designated as F037 listed wastes when disposed of or intended for disposal.

(b) Recovered oil that is recycled in the same manner and with the same conditions as described in paragraph (A)(12)(a) of this rule. Recovered oil is oil that has been reclaimed from secondary materials (including wastewater) generated from normal petroleum industry practices, including refining, exploration and production, bulk storage, and transportation incident thereto (SIC codes 1311, 1321, 1381, 1382, 1389, 2911, 4612, 4613, 4922, 4923, 4789, 5171, and 5172). Recovered oil does not include oil-bearing hazardous wastes listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code; however, oil recovered from such wastes may be considered recovered oil. Recovered oil does not include "used oil" as defined in rule 3745-279-01 of the Administrative Code.

(13) Excluded scrap metal (processed scrap metal, unprocessed home scrap metal, and unprocessed prompt scrap metal) being recycled.

(14) Shredded circuit boards being recycled provided that the shredded circuit boards are both:

(a) Stored in containers sufficient to prevent a release to the environment prior to recovery.

(b) Free of mercury switches, mercury relays, nickel-cadmium batteries, and lithium batteries.

(15) Condensates derived from the overhead gases from kraft mill steam strippers that are used to comply with 40 CFR 63.446(e). The exemption applies only to combustion at the mill generating the condensates.

(16) [Reserved.]

(17) "Spent materials," as defined in rule 3745-51-01 of the Administrative Code (other than hazardous wastes listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code), generated within the primary mineral processing industry from which minerals, acids, cyanide, water, or other values are recovered by mineral processing or by beneficiation, provided that all of the following:

(a) The spent material is legitimately recycled to recover minerals, acids, cyanide, water, or other values.

(b) The spent material is not accumulated speculatively.

(c) Except as provided in paragraph (A)(17)(d) of this rule, the spent material is stored in tanks, containers, or buildings that meet all of the following minimum integrity standards:

(i) A building shall be an engineered structure with a floor, walls, and a roof, all of which are made of non-earthen materials providing structural support (except smelter buildings may have partially earthen floors provided the secondary material is stored on the non-earthen portion), and have a roof suitable for diverting rainwater away from the foundation.

(ii) A tank shall be free standing, shall not be a "surface impoundment" as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code, and shall be manufactured of a material suitable for containment of the contents.

(iii) A container shall be free standing and be manufactured of a material suitable for containment of the contents.

(iv) If tanks or containers contain any particulate which may be subject to wind dispersal, the owner or operator shall operate these units in a manner which controls fugitive dust.

(v) Tanks, containers, and buildings shall be designed, constructed, and operated to prevent significant releases to the environment of these materials.

(d) The director may make a site-specific determination, after public review and comment, that only solid mineral processing spent material may be placed on pads, rather than in tanks, containers, or buildings. Solid mineral processing spent materials do not contain any free liquid. The director shall affirm that pads are designed, constructed, and operated to prevent significant releases of the spent material into the environment. Pads shall provide the same degree of containment afforded by the non-RCRA tanks, containers, and buildings eligible for exclusion.

(i) The director also shall consider if storage on pads poses the potential for significant releases via ground water, surface water, and air exposure pathways. Factors to be considered for assessing the ground water, surface water, air exposure pathways are the volume and physical and chemical properties of the spent material, including the potential for migration off the pad; the potential for human or environmental exposure to hazardous constituents migrating from the pad via each exposure pathway; and the possibility and extent of harm to human and environmental receptors via each exposure pathway.

(ii) Pads shall meet all of the following minimum standards:

(a) Be designed of non-earthen material that is compatible with the chemical nature of the mineral processing spent material.

(b) Be capable of withstanding physical stresses associated with placement and removal.

(c) Have run-on and run-off controls.

(d) Be operated in a manner which controls fugitive dust.

(e) Have integrity assurance through inspections and maintenance programs.

(iii) Before making a determination under paragraph (A)(17) of this rule, the director shall provide notice and the opportunity for comment to all persons potentially interested in the determination. This may be accomplished by placing notice of this action in major local newspapers, or by broadcasting notice over local radio stations.

(e) The owner or operator provides a notice to the director, providing all of the following information:

(i) The types of materials to be recycled.

(ii) The type and location of the storage units and recycling processes.

(iii) The annual quantities expected to be placed in land-based units.

(iv) This notification shall be updated when there is a change in the type of materials recycled or the location of the recycling process.

(f) For purposes of paragraph (B)(7) of this rule, mineral processing spent materials shall be the result of mineral processing and may not include any listed hazardous wastes. Listed hazardous wastes and characteristic hazardous wastes generated by non-mineral processing industries are not eligible for the conditional exclusion from the definition of "waste."

(18) Petrochemical recovered oil from an associated organic chemical manufacturing facility, where the oil is to be inserted into the petroleum refining process (SIC code 2911) along with normal petroleum refinery process streams, provided that both:

(a) The oil is hazardous only because the oil exhibits the characteristic of ignitability (as identified in rule 3745-51-21 of the Administrative Code) or the characteristic of toxicity for benzene (waste code D018 in rule 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code).

(b) The oil generated by the organic chemical manufacturing facility is not placed on the land, or accumulated speculatively before being recycled into the petroleum refining process. An "associated organic chemical manufacturing facility" is a facility where the primary SIC code is 2869, but where operations may also include SIC codes 2821, 2822, and 2865; and is physically co-located with a petroleum refinery; and where the petroleum refinery to which the oil being recycled is returned also provides hydrocarbon feedstocks to the organic chemical manufacturing facility. "Petrochemical recovered oil" is oil that has been reclaimed from secondary materials (i.e., sludges, by-products, or spent materials, including wastewater) from normal organic chemical manufacturing operations, as well as oil recovered from organic chemical manufacturing processes.

(19) Spent caustic solutions from petroleum refining liquid treating processes used as a feedstock to produce cresylic or naphthenic acid unless the material is placed on the land, or "accumulated speculatively" as defined in paragraph (C)(8) of rule 3745-51-01 of the Administrative Code.

(20) Hazardous secondary materials used to make zinc fertilizers, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) Hazardous secondary materials used to make zinc micronutrient fertilizers shall not be "accumulated speculatively," as defined in paragraph (C)(8) of rule 3745-51-01 of the Administrative Code.

(b) Generators and intermediate handlers of zinc-bearing hazardous secondary materials that are to be incorporated into zinc fertilizers shall:

(i) Submit a one-time notice to the director, which contains the name, address, and U.S. EPA identification number of the generator or intermediate handler facility, provides a brief description of the secondary material that shall be subject to the exclusion, and identifies when the manufacturer intends to begin managing excluded, zinc-bearing hazardous secondary materials under the conditions specified in paragraph (A)(20) of this rule.

(ii) Store the excluded secondary material in tanks, containers, or buildings that are constructed and maintained in a way that prevents releases of the secondary materials into the environment. At a minimum, any building used for this purpose shall be an engineered structure made of non-earthen materials that provide structural support, and shall have a floor, walls, and a roof that prevent wind dispersal and contact with rainwater. Tanks used for this purpose shall be structurally sound and, if outdoors, shall have roofs or covers that prevent contact with wind and rain. Containers used for this purpose shall be kept closed except when it is necessary to add or remove material, and shall be in sound condition. Containers that are stored outdoors shall be managed within storage areas that accomplish all of the following:

(a) Have containment structures or systems sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills and accumulated precipitation.

(b) Provide for effective drainage and removal of leaks, spills, and accumulated precipitation.

(c) Prevent run-on into the containment system.

(iii) With each off-site shipment of excluded hazardous secondary materials, provide written notice to the receiving facility that the material is subject to the conditions of paragraph (A)(20) of this rule.

(iv) Maintain at the generator's or intermediate handler's facility for no less than three years records of all shipments of excluded hazardous secondary materials. For each shipment, these records shall at a minimum contain all of the following information:

(a) Name of the transporter and date of the shipment.

(b) Name and address of the facility that received the excluded material, and documentation confirming receipt of the shipment.

(c) Type and quantity of excluded secondary material in each shipment.

(c) Manufacturers of zinc fertilizers or zinc fertilizer ingredients made from excluded hazardous secondary materials shall do all of the following:

(i) Store excluded hazardous secondary materials in accordance with the storage requirements for generators and intermediate handlers, as specified in paragraph (A)(20)(b)(ii) of this rule.

(ii) Submit a one-time notification to the director that, at a minimum, specifies the name, address and U.S. EPA identification number of the manufacturing facility, and identifies when the manufacturer intends to begin managing excluded, zinc-bearing hazardous secondary materials under the conditions specified in paragraph (A)(20) of this rule.

(iii) Maintain for a minimum of three years records of all shipments of excluded hazardous secondary materials received by the manufacturer, which shall at a minimum identify for each shipment the name and address of the generating facility, name of transporter and date the materials were received, the quantity received, and a brief description of the industrial process that generated the material.

(iv) Submit to the director an annual report that identifies the total quantities of all excluded hazardous secondary materials that were used to manufacture zinc fertilizers or zinc fertilizer ingredients in the previous year, the name and address of each generating facility, and the industrial processes from which excluded hazardous secondary materials were generated.

(d) Nothing in this rule preempts, overrides, or otherwise negates rule 3745-52-11 of the Administrative Code, which requires any person who generates a waste to determine if that waste is a hazardous waste.

(e) Permitted storage units that have been used to store only zinc-bearing hazardous wastes prior to the submittal of the one-time notice described in paragraph (A)(20)(b)(i) of this rule, and that afterward shall be used only to store hazardous secondary materials excluded under paragraph (A)(20) of this rule, are not subject to the closure requirements of Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57, 3745-65 to 3745-69, 3745-205, or 3745-256 of the Administrative Code.

(21) Zinc fertilizers made from hazardous wastes, or hazardous secondary materials that are excluded under paragraph (A)(20) of this rule, provided that all of the following:

(a) The fertilizers meet the following contaminant limits:

(i) For metal contaminants:

ConstituentMaximumAllowable Total Concentration in Fertilizer, Per Unit (1%) of Zinc(ppm)
Arsenic0.3
Cadmium1.4
Chromium0.6
Lead2.8
Mercury0.3

(ii) For dioxin contaminants the fertilizer shall contain no more than eight parts per trillion of dioxin, measured as toxic equivalent (TEQ).

(b) The manufacturer performs sampling and analysis of the fertilizer product to determine compliance with the contaminant limits for metals no less than every six months, and for dioxins no less than every twelve months. Testing also shall be performed whenever changes occur to manufacturing processes or ingredients that could significantly affect the amounts of contaminants in the fertilizer product. The manufacturer may use any reliable analytical method to demonstrate that no constituent of concern is present in the product at concentrations above the applicable limits.

On behalf of [insert tolling contractor name], I also certify that [insert tolling contractor name] retains ownership of, and responsibility for, the hazardous secondary materials that are generated during the course of the manufacture, including any releases of hazardous secondary materials that occur during the manufacturing process."

(b) The tolling contractor shall maintain at the tolling contractor's facility for no less than three years, records of hazardous secondary materials received pursuant to the tolling contractor's written contract with the tolling manufacturer, and the tolling manufacturer shall maintain at the tolling manufacturer's facility for no less than three years, records of hazardous secondary materials shipped pursuant to the tolling manufacturer's written contract with the tolling contractor. In both cases, the records shall contain the name of the transporter, the date of the shipment, and the type and quantity of the hazardous secondary material shipped or received pursuant to the written contract. These requirements may be satisfied by routine business records (e.g., financial records, bills of lading, copies of department of transportation shipping papers, or electronic confirmations). For purposes of this paragraph, "tolling contractor" means a person who arranges for the production of a product or intermediate made from specified unused materials through a written contract with a toll manufacturer. "Toll manufacturer" means a person who produces a product or intermediate made from specified unused materials pursuant to a written contract with a tolling contractor.

(b)

(i) The hazardous secondary material is "contained" as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code. A hazardous secondary material released to the environment is discarded and a waste unless it is immediately recovered for the purpose of reclamation. Hazardous secondary material managed in a unit with leaks or other continuing or intermittent unpermitted releases is discarded and a waste.

(ii) The hazardous secondary material is not "speculatively accumulated," as defined in paragraph (C)(8) of rule 3745-51-01 of the Administrative Code.

(v) Persons performing the recycling of hazardous secondary materials under this exclusion shall maintain documentation of their legitimacy determination on-site. Documentation shall be a written description of how the recycling meets all three factors in paragraph (A) of rule 3745-50-17 of the Administrative Code and how the factor in paragraph (B) of rule 3745-50-17 of the Adminstrative Code was considered. Documentation shall be maintained for three years after the recycling operation has ceased.

(vi) The emergency preparedness and response requirements in rules 3745-51-400 to 3745-51-420 of the Administrative Code are met.

(24) Hazardous secondary material that is generated and then transferred to another person for the purpose of reclamation is not a waste, provided that:

(a) The material is not "speculatively accumulated," as defined in paragraph (C)(8) of rule 3745-51-01 of the Administrative Code;

(b) The material is not handled by any person or facility other than the hazardous secondary material generator, the transporter, an intermediate facility or a reclaimer, and, while in transport, is not stored for more than ten days at a "transfer facility," as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code, and is packaged according to applicable department of transportation regulations at 49 CFR Parts 173, 178, and 179 while in transport;

(c) The material is not otherwise subject to material-specific management conditions under paragraph (A) of this rule when reclaimed, and the material is not a spent lead-acid battery (see rules 3745-266-80 and 3745-273-02 of the Administrative Code);

(d) The reclamation of the material is legitimate, as specified under rule 3745-50-17 of the Administrative Code;

(e) The hazardous secondary material generator satisfies all of the following conditions:

(i) The material shall be "contained" as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code. A hazardous secondary material released to the environment is discarded and a waste unless the waste is immediately recovered for the purpose of recycling. Hazardous secondary material managed in a unit with leaks or other continuing releases is discarded and is a waste.

(ii) Prior to arranging for transport of hazardous secondary materials to a reclamation facility (or facilities) where the management of the hazardous secondary materials is not addressed under a RCRA part B permit or interim standards, the hazardous secondary material generator shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that each reclaimer intends to properly and legitimately reclaim the hazardous secondary material and not discard the hazardous secondary material, and that each reclaimer will manage the hazardous secondary material in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment. If the hazardous secondary material will be passing through an intermediate facility where the management of the hazardous secondary materials is not addressed under a RCRA part B permit or interim standards, the hazardous secondary material generator shall make contractual arrangements with the intermediate facility to ensure that the hazardous secondary material is sent to the reclamation facility identified by the hazardous secondary material generator, and the hazardous secondary material generator shall perform reasonable efforts to ensure that the intermediate facility will manage the hazardous secondary material in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment. Reasonable efforts shall be repeated at a minimum of every three years for the hazardous secondary material generator to claim the exclusion and to send the hazardous secondary materials to each reclaimer and any intermediate facility. In making these reasonable efforts, the generator may use any credible evidence available, including information gathered by the hazardous secondary material generator, provided by the reclaimer or intermediate facility, or provided by a third party. The hazardous secondary material generator shall affirmatively answer all of the following questions for each reclamation facility and any intermediate facility:

(a) Does the available information indicate that the reclamation process is legitimate pursuant to rule 3745-50-17 of the Administrative Code? In answering this question, the hazardous secondary material generator can rely on existing knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of the hazardous secondary material, as well as information from other sources (e.g., the reclamation facility, audit reports, etc.) about the reclamation process.

(b) Does the publicly available information indicate that the reclamation facility and any intermediate facility that is used by the hazardous secondary material generator notified the appropriate authorities of hazardous secondary materials reclamation activities pursuant to rule 3745-50-16 of the Administrative Code and have they notified the appropriate authorities that the financial assurance condition is satisfied per paragraph (A)(24)(f)(vi) of this rule? In answering these questions, the hazardous secondary material generator can rely on the available information documenting the reclamation facility's and any intermediate facility's compliance with the notification requirements per rule 3745-50-16 of the Administrative Code, including the requirement in paragraph (A)(5) of rule 3745-50-16 of the Administrative Code to notify Ohio EPA whether the reclaimer or intermediate facility has financial assurance.

(c) Does publicly available information indicate that the reclamation facility or any intermediate facility that is used by the hazardous secondary material generator has not had any formal enforcement actions taken against the facility in the previous three years for violations of Ohio's hazardous waste regulations and has not been classified as a significant noncomplier with RCRA Subtitle C? In answering this question, the hazardous secondary material generator can rely on the publicly available information from U.S. EPA or Ohio EPA. If the reclamation facility or any intermediate facility that is used by the hazardous secondary material generator has had a formal enforcement action taken against the facility in the previous three years for violations of Ohio's hazardous waste rules and has been classified as a significant non-complier with RCRA Subtitle C, does the hazardous secondary material generator have credible evidence that the facilities will manage the hazardous secondary materials properly? In answering this question, the hazardous secondary material generator can obtain additional information from U.S. EPA, Ohio EPA, or the facility itself that the facility has addressed the violations, taken remedial steps to address the violations, and prevent future violations, or that the violations are not relevant to the proper management of the hazardous secondary materials.

(d) Does the available information indicate that the reclamation facility and any intermediate facility that is used by the hazardous secondary material generator have the equipment and trained personnel to safely recycle the hazardous secondary material? In answering this question, the generator may rely on a description by the reclamation facility or by an independent third party of the equipment and trained personnel to be used to recycle the generator's hazardous secondary material.

(e) If residuals are generated from the reclamation of the excluded hazardous secondary materials, does the reclamation facility have the permits required (if any) to manage the residuals? If not, does the reclamation facility have a contract with an appropriately permitted facility to dispose of the residuals? If not, does the hazardous secondary material generator have credible evidence that the residuals will be managed in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment? In answering these questions, the hazardous secondary material generator can rely on publicly available information from U.S. EPA or Ohio EPA, or information provided by the facility itself.

(iii) The hazardous secondary material generator shall maintain for a minimum of three years documentation and certification that reasonable efforts were made for each reclamation facility and, if applicable, intermediate facility where the management of the hazardous secondary materials is not addressed under a RCRA part B permit or interim standards prior to transferring hazardous secondary material. Documentation and certification shall be made available upon request by Ohio EPA within seventy-two hours, or within a longer period of time as specified by Ohio EPA. The certification statement shall:

(a) Include the printed name and official title of an authorized representative of the hazardous secondary material generator company, the authorized representative's signature, and the date signed;

(b) Incorporate the following language:

(i) "I hereby certify in good faith and to the best of my knowledge that, prior to arranging for transport of excluded hazardous secondary materials to [insert name or names of reclamation facility and any intermediate facility], reasonable efforts were made in accordance with paragraph (A)(24)(e)(ii) of this rule to ensure that the hazardous secondary materials would be recycled legitimately, and otherwise managed in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment, and that such efforts were made in accordance with paragraph (A)(24)(e)(ii) of this rule to ensure that the hazardous secondary materials would be recycled legitimately, and otherwise managed in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment, and that such efforts were based on current and accurate information.

(iv) The hazardous secondary material generator shall maintain at the generating facility for no less than three years records of all off-site shipments of hazardous secondary materials. For each shipment, these records shall, at a minimum, contain the following information:

(a) Name of the transporter and date of the shipment;

(b) Name and address of each reclaimer and, if applicable, the name and address of each intermediate facility to which the hazardous secondary material was sent;

(c) The type and quantity of hazardous secondary material in the shipment.

(v) The hazardous secondary material generator shall maintain at the generating facility for no less than three years confirmations of receipt from each reclaimer and, if applicable, each intermediate facility for all off-site shipments of hazardous secondary materials. Confirmations of receipt shall include the name and address of the reclaimer (or intermediate facility), the type and quantity of the hazardous secondary materials received, and the date which the hazardous secondary materials were received. This requirement may be satisfied by routine business records (e.g., financial records, bills of lading, copies of department of transportation shipping papers, or electronic confirmations of receipt);

(vi) The hazardous secondary material generator shall comply with the emergency preparedness and response conditions in rules 3745-51-400 to 3745-51-420 of the Administrative Code.

(f) Reclaimers of hazardous secondary material excluded from regulation under this exclusion and "intermediate facilities" as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code satisfy all of the following conditions:

(i) The reclaimer and intermediate facility shall maintain at its facility for no less than three years records of all shipments of hazardous secondary material that were received at the facility and, if applicable, for all shipments of hazardous secondary materials that were received and subsequently sent off-site from the facility for further reclamation. For each shipment, these records shall, at a minimum, contain the following information:

(a) Name of the transporter and date of the shipment;

(b) Name and address of the hazardous secondary material generator and, if applicable, the name and address of the reclaimer or intermediate facility which the hazardous secondary materials were received from;

(c) The type and quantity of hazardous secondary material in the shipment; and

(d) For hazardous secondary materials that, after being received by the reclaimer or intermediate facility, were subsequently transferred off-site for further reclamation, the name and address of the (subsequent) reclaimer and, if applicable, the name and address of each intermediate facility to which the hazardous secondary material was sent.

(ii) The intermediate facility shall send the hazardous secondary material to the reclaimer designated by the hazardous secondary materials generator.

(iii) The reclaimer and intermediate facility shall send to the hazardous secondary material generator confirmations of receipt for all off-site shipments of hazardous secondary materials. Confirmations of receipt shall include the name and address of the reclaimer (or intermediate facility), the type and quantity of the hazardous secondary materials received, and the date which the hazardous secondary materials were received. This requirement may be satisfied by routine business records (e.g., financial records, bills of lading, copies of department of transportation shipping papers, or electronic confirmations of receipt).

(iv) The reclaimer and intermediate facility shall manage the hazardous secondary material in a manner that is at least as protective as that employed for analogous raw material and shall be contained. An "analogous raw material" is a raw material for which a hazardous secondary material is a substitute and serves the same function and has similar physical and chemical properties as the hazardous secondary material.

(v) Any residuals that are generated from reclamation processes will be managed in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment. If any residuals exhibit a hazardous characteristic according to rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code, or if they themselves are specifically listed in rules 3745-51-30 to 3745-51-35 of the Administrative Code, such residuals are hazardous wastes and shall be managed in accordance with the applicable requirements of Chapters 3745-50 to 3745-57, 3745-65 to 3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, 3745-266, and 3745-270 of the Administrative Code.

(vi) The reclaimer and intermediate facility have financial assurance as required under rules 3745-51-140 to 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code.

(g) In addition, all persons claiming the exclusion under paragraph (A)(24) of this rule provide notification as required under rule 3745-50-16 of the Administrative Code.

(25) Hazardous secondary material that is exported from the United States and reclaimed at a reclamation facility located in a foreign country is not a waste, provided that the hazardous secondary material generator complies with the applicable requirements of paragraphs (A)(24)(a) to (A)(24)(e) of this rule (excepting paragraph (A)(24)(e)(ii)(b) of this rule for foreign reclaimers and foreign intermediate facilities), and that the hazardous secondary material generator also complies with the following requirements:

(a) Notify U.S. EPA of an intended export before the hazardous secondary material is scheduled to leave the United States. A complete notification shall be submitted at least sixty days before the initial shipment is intended to be shipped off-site. This notification may cover export activities extending over a twelve month or lesser period. The notification shall be in writing, signed by the hazardous secondary material generator, and include the following information:

(i) Name, mailing address, telephone number and a U.S. EPA identification number (if applicable) of the hazardous secondary material generator;

(ii) A description of the hazardous secondary material and the U.S. EPA hazardous waste number that would apply if the hazardous secondary material was managed as hazardous waste and the U.S. department of transportation proper shipping name, hazard class and U.S. EPA identification number (UN/NA) for each hazardous secondary material as identified in 49 CFR Parts 171 to 177;

(iii) The estimated frequency or rate at which the hazardous secondary material is to be exported and the period of time over which the hazardous secondary material is to be exported;

(iv) The estimated total quantity of hazardous secondary material;

(v) All points of entry to and departure from each foreign country through which the hazardous secondary material will pass;

(vi) A description of the means by which each shipment of the hazardous secondary material will be transported [e.g., mode of transportation vehicle (air, highway, rail, water, etc.), type or types of container (drums, boxes, tanks, etc.)];

(vii) A description of the manner in which the hazardous secondary material will be reclaimed in the country of import;

(viii) The name and address of the reclaimer, any intermediate facility, and any alternate reclaimer and intermediate facilities; and

(ix) The name of any countries of transit through which the hazardous secondary material will be sent and a description of the approximate length of time the hazardous secondary material will remain in such countries and the nature of its handling while there (for purposes of this rule, the terms "EPA Acknowledgement of Consent," "country of import," and "country of transit" are used as defined in rule 3745-52-80 of the Administrative Code with the exception that the terms in this rule refer to hazardous secondary materials, rather than hazardous waste):

(b) Notifications shall be submitted electronically using U.S. EPA's "Waste Import Export Tracking System" (WIETS), or its successor system.

(c) Except for changes to the telephone number in paragraph (A)(25)(a)(i) of this rule and decreases in the quantity of hazardous secondary material indicated pursuant to paragraph (A)(25)(a)(iv) of this rule, when the conditions specified on the original notification change (including any exceedance of the estimate of the quantity of hazardous secondary material specified in the original notification), the hazardous secondary material generator shall provide U.S. EPA with a written renotification of the change. The shipment cannot take place until consent of the country of import to the changes (except for changes to paragraph (A)(25)(a)(ix) of this rule and in the ports of entry to and departure from countries of transit pursuant to paragraph (A)(25)(a)(v) of this rule) has been obtained and the hazardous secondary material generator receives from U.S. EPA an "EPA Acknowledgment of Consent" reflecting the country of import's consent to the changes.

(d) Upon request by U.S. EPA, the hazardous secondary material generator shall furnish to U.S. EPA any additional information which a country of import requests in order to respond to a notification.

(e) U.S. EPA will provide a complete notification to the country of import and any countries of transit. A notification is complete when U.S. EPA receives a notification which U.S. EPA determines satisfies the requirements of paragraph (A)(25)(a) of this rule. Where a claim of confidentiality is asserted with respect to any notification information required by paragraph (A)(25)(a) of this rule, U.S. EPA may find the notification not complete until any such claim is resolved in accordance with rule 3745-50-02 of the Administrative Code.

(f) The export of hazardous secondary material under paragraph (A)(25) of this rule is prohibited unless the country of import consents to the intended export. When the country of import consents in writing to the receipt of the hazardous secondary material, U.S. EPA will send an "EPA Acknowledgment of Consent" to the hazardous secondary material generator. Where the country of import objects to receipt of the hazardous secondary material or withdraws a prior consent, U.S. EPA will notify the hazardous secondary material generator in writing. U.S. EPA will also notify the hazardous secondary material generator of any responses from countries of transit.

(g) For exports to "OECD Member" countries, the receiving country may respond to the notification using tacit consent. If no objection has been lodged by any country of import or countries of transit to a notification provided pursuant to paragraph (A)(25)(a) of this rule within thirty days after the date of issuance of the acknowledgement of receipt of notification by the competent authority of the country of import, the transboundary movement may commence. In such cases, U.S. EPA will send an "EPA Acknowledgment of Consent" to inform the hazardous secondary material generator that the country of import and any relevant countries of transit have not objected to the shipment, and are thus presumed to have consented tacitly. Tacit consent expires one calendar year after the close of the thirty-day period; renotification and renewal of all consents are required for exports after that date.

(h) A copy of the "EPA Acknowledgment of Consent" shall accompany the shipment. The shipment shall conform to the terms of the "EPA Acknowledgment of Consent."

(i) If a shipment cannot be delivered for any reason to the reclaimer, intermediate facility or the alternate reclaimer or alternate intermediate facility, the hazardous secondary material generator shall re-notify U.S. EPA of a change in the conditions of the original notification to allow shipment to a new reclaimer in accordance with paragraph (C) of this rule and obtain another "EPA Acknowledgment of Consent."

(j) Hazardous secondary material generators shall keep a copy of each notification of intent to export and each "EPA Acknowledgment of Consent" for a period of three years after receipt of the "EPA Acknowledgment of Consent." Hazardous secondary material generators may satisfy this recordkeeping requirement by retaining electronically submitted notifications or electronically generated Acknowledgements in their account on U.S. EPA's "Waste Import Export Tracking System" (WIETS), or its successor system, provided that such copies are readily available for viewing and production if requested by any U.S. EPA or authorized state inspector. No hazardous secondary material generator may be held liable for the inability to produce a notification or acknowledgement for inspection under this rule if the hazardous secondary material generator can demonstrate that the inability to produce such copies are due exclusively to technical difficulty with U.S. EPA's "Waste Import Export Tracking System" (WIETS), or its successor system for which the hazardous secondary material generator bears no responsibility.

(k) Hazardous secondary material generators shall file with the director, no later than March first of each year, a report summarizing the types, quantities, frequency, and ultimate destination of all hazardous secondary materials exported during the previous calendar year. Annual reports shall be submitted electronically using U.S. EPA's "Waste Import Export Tracking System (WIETS)," or its successor system. Such reports shall include the following information:

(i) Name, mailing and site address, and U.S. EPA identification number (if applicable) of the hazardous secondary material generator;

(ii) The calendar year covered by the report;

(iii) The name and site address of each reclaimer and intermediate facility;

(iv) By reclaimer and intermediate facility, for each hazardous secondary material exported, a description of the hazardous secondary material and the EPA hazardous waste number that would apply if the hazardous secondary material was managed as hazardous waste, the department of transportation hazard class, the name and U.S. EPA identification number (where applicable) for each transporter used, the total amount of hazardous secondary material shipped, and the number of shipments pursuant to each notification;

(v) A certification signed by the hazardous secondary material generator which states:

"I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and am familiar with the information submitted in this and all attached documents, and that based on my inquiry of those individuals immediately responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that the submitted information is true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information including the possibility of fine and imprisonment."

(l) All persons claiming an exclusion under paragraph (A)(25) of this rule shall provide notification as required by rule 3745-50-16 of the Administrative Code.

(26) "Solvent-contaminated wipes," as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code, that are sent for cleaning and reuse are not wastes from the point of generation, provided that:

(a) The solvent-contaminated wipes, when accumulated, stored, and transported, are contained in non-leaking, closed containers that are labeled "Excluded Solvent-Contaminated Wipes." The containers shall be able to contain free liquids, should free liquids occur. During accumulation, a container is considered closed when there is complete contact between the fitted lid and the rim, except when necessary to add or remove solvent-contaminated wipes. When the container is full, or when the solvent-contaminated wipes are no longer being accumulated, or when the container is being transported, the container shall be sealed with all lids properly and securely affixed to the container and all openings tightly bound or closed sufficiently to prevent leaks and emissions;

(b) The solvent-contaminated wipes may be accumulated by the generator for up to one hundred eighty days after the start date of accumulation for each container prior to being sent for cleaning;

(c) At the point of being sent for cleaning on-site or at the point of being transported off-site for cleaning, the solvent-contaminated wipes shall contain "no free liquids" as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code;

Rule 3745-51-11 | Criteria for listing hazardous waste.
 

(A) The director shall list a waste as a hazardous waste only upon determining that the waste meets one of the following criteria:

(1) The waste exhibits any of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code.

(2) The waste has been found to be fatal to humans in low doses or, in the absence of data on human toxicity, the waste has been shown in studies to have an oral LD50 toxicity (rat) of less than fifty milligrams per kilogram, an inhalation LC50 toxicity (rat) of less than two milligrams per liter, or a dermal LD50 toxicity (rabbit) of less than two hundred milligrams per kilogram or is otherwise capable of causing or significantly contributing to an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible illness. (Wastes listed in accordance with these criteria shall be designated acute hazardous wastes.)

[Comment: As used in this paragraph, LD (lethal dosage) and LC (lethal concentration) are standard measures of toxicity. A LD50 dosage, and a LC50 concentration, are fatal to fifty per cent of the test subjects.]

(3) The waste contains any of the toxic constituents listed in the appendix to this rule and, after considering the following factors, the director concludes that the waste is capable of posing a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise managed:

(a) The nature of the toxicity presented by the constituent.

(b) The concentration of the constituent in the waste.

(c) The potential of the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the constituent to migrate from the waste into the environment under the types of improper management considered in paragraph (A)(3)(g) of this rule.

(d) The persistence of the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the constituent.

(e) The potential for the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the constituent to degrade into nonharmful constituents and the rate of degradation.

(f) The degree to which the constituent or any degradation product of the constituent bioaccumulates in ecosystems.

(g) The plausible types of improper management to which the waste could be subjected.

(h) The quantities of the waste generated at individual generation sites or on a regional or national basis.

(i) The nature and severity of the human health and environmental damage that has occurred as a result of the improper management of wastes containing the constituent.

(j) Action taken by other governmental agencies or regulatory programs based on the health or environmental hazard posed by the waste or waste constituent.

(k) Such other factors as may be appropriate. Substances shall be listed in the appendix to this rule only if those substances have been shown in scientific studies to have toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic effects on humans or other life forms. (Wastes listed in accordance with these criteria shall be designated toxic wastes.)

(B) The director may list classes or types of waste as hazardous waste if the director has reason to believe that individual wastes, within the class or type of waste, typically or frequently are hazardous under the definition of "hazardous waste" in Section 1004(5) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

(C) The director shall use the criteria for listing specified in this rule to establish the exclusion limits referred to in rule 3745-52-13 of the Administrative Code.

(D) The director shall not list any waste that the administrator delisted or excluded by an amendment to the federal regulations, any waste that the administrator declined to list by publishing a denial of a rulemaking petition or by withdrawal of a proposed listing in the Federal Register after May 18, 1980, or any waste oil or polychlorinated biphenyl not listed by the administrator.

Rule 3745-51-21 | Characteristic of ignitability.
 

(A) A waste exhibits the characteristic of ignitability if a representative sample of the waste has any of the following properties:

(1) The waste is a liquid, other than a solution containing less than twenty-four per cent alcohol by volume and at least fifty per cent water by weight, that has a flash point less than sixty degrees Celsius (C) [one hundred forty degrees Fahrenheit (F)], as determined by using "American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)" standard ASTM D93-79, D93-80, D3278-78, D8174-18, or D8175-18 as specified in SW-846 test method 1010B or 1020C.

(2) The waste is not a liquid and, under standard temperature and pressure, can cause fire through friction, absorption of moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes and, when ignited, burns so vigorously and persistently that the waste creates a hazard.

(3) The waste is an ignitable compressed gas.

(a) The term "compressed gas" designates any materials or mixtures having in the container an absolute pressure exceeding forty pounds per square inch (psi) at seventy degrees F or, regardless of the pressure at seventy degrees F, having an absolute pressure exceeding one hundred four psi at one hundred thirty degrees F; or any liquid flammable material having a vapor pressure exceeding forty psi absolute at one hundred degrees F as determined by ASTM D323-20a.

(b) A compressed gas is characterized as ignitable if any one of the following occurs:

(i) Either a mixture of thirteen per cent or less (by volume) with air forms a flammable mixture, or the flammable range with air is wider than twelve per cent regardless of the lower limit. These limits are determined at atmospheric temperature and pressure. The method of sampling and test procedure shall be the ASTM E681-85 or other equivalent methods approved by the associate administrator, "Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration" of the U.S. department of transportation (U.S. DOT).

(ii) The compressed gas is determined to be flammable or extremely flammable using 49 CFR 173.115(l).

(4) The waste is an oxidizer. An "oxidizer," for the purpose of this rule, is a substance such as chlorate, permanganate, inorganic peroxide, or a nitrate, that yields oxygen readily to stimulate the combustion of organic matter.

(a) An organic compound containing the bivalent -O-O- structure and which may be considered a derivative of hydrogen peroxide where one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic radicals shall be classed as an "organic peroxide" unless:

(i) The material meets the definition of a "Division 1.1," "Division 1.2," or "Division 1.3" explosive, as described in paragraph (A)(8) of rule 3745-51-23 of the Administrative Code, in which case, the material is classed as an explosive;

(ii) The material is forbidden to be offered for transportation according to 49 CFR 172.101 and 49 CFR 173.21;

(iii) The predominant hazard of the material containing an organic peroxide is other than that of an organic peroxide; or

(iv) According to data on file with the "Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration" in the U.S. DOT, the material does not present a hazard in transportation.

(b) [Reserved.]

(B) A waste that exhibits the characteristic of ignitability has the EPA hazardous waste number of D001.

(1) For the purposes of the F037 and F038 listings, "oil/water/solids" (the term used by U.S. EPA) is defined as oil or water or solids, and "oil or water or solids" is the term used in the hazardous waste rules.

(2)

(a) For the purposes of the F037 and F038 listing, "aggresive biological treatment units" are defined as units which employ one of the following four treatment methods: activated sludge, trickling filter, rotating biological contactor for the continuous accelerated biological oxidation of wastewaters, or high rate aeration. High rate aeration is a system of surface impoundments or tanks in which intense mechanical aeration is used to completely mix the wastes, enhance biologial activity; and

(i) The units employ a minimum of six horse power per million gallons of treatment volume; and either

(ii) The hydraulic retention time of the unit is no longer than five days; or

(iii) The hydraulic retention time of the unit is no longer than thirty days and the unit does not generate a sludge that is a hazardous waste by the toxicity characteristic.

(b) Generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities have the burden of proving that sludges from those facilities are exempt from listings as F037 and F038 wastes under this definition. Generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities shall maintain, in the operating or other on-site records, documents and the data sufficient to prove that:

(i) The unit is an "aggressive biological treatment unit" as defined in this rule; and

(ii) The sludges sought to be exempted from the definitions of F037 or F038 were actually generated in the aggressive biological treatment unit.

[Comment: For purposes of paragraph (B)(2)(b) of this rule and the F037 and F038 listings in this rule, "exempt" means not included under the definition of F037 or F038 with respect to determining the status of this material as a hazardous waste.]

(3)

(a) For the purposes of the F037 listing, sludges are considered to be generated at the moment of deposition in the unit, where "deposition" is defined as at least a temporary cessation of lateral particle movement.

(b) For the purposes of the F038 listing:

(i) Sludges are considered to be generated at the moment of deposition in the unit, where "deposition" is defined as at least a temporary cessation of lateral particle movement; and

(ii) Floats are considered to be generated at the moment of formation in the top of the unit.

(4) For the purposes of the F019 listing, the following apply to wastewater treatment sludges from the manufacturing of motor vehicles using a zinc phosphating process:

(a) "Motor vehicle manufacturing" is defined to include the manufacture of automobiles and light trucks or utility vehicles (including light duty vans, pickup trucks, minivans, and sport utility vehicles). Facilities shall be engaged in manufacturing complete vehicles (body and chassis or unibody) or chassis only.

(b) Generators shall maintain in on-site records documentation and information sufficient to prove that the wastewater treatment sludges to be exempted from the F019 listing meet the conditions of the listing. These records shall include the volume of waste generated and disposed of off-site, documentation showing when the waste volumes were generated and sent off-site, the name and address of the receiving facility, and documentation confirming receipt of the waste by the receiving facility. Generators shall maintain these documents on-site for no less than three years. The retention period for the documentation is automatically extended during the course of any enforcement action or as requested by the director.

(D) Procedures for demonstrating that dyes or pigment nonwastewaters are not K181. The procedures described in paragraphs (D)(1) , (D)(3), and (D)(5) of this rule establish when nonwastewaters from the production of dyes or pigments would not be hazardous [these procedures apply to wastes that are not disposed in landfill units or treated in combustion units as specified in paragraph (A) of this rule]. If the nonwastewaters are disposed in landfill units or treated in combustion units as described in paragraph (A) of this rule, then the nonwastewaters are not hazardous. In order to demonstrate that the generator is meeting the landfill disposal or combustion conditions contained in the K181 listing description, the generator shall maintain documentation as described in paragraph (D)(4) of this rule.

(1) Determination based on no K181 constituents. Generators that have knowledge (e.g., knowledge of constituents in wastes based on prior sampling and analysis data or information about raw materials used, production processes used, and reaction and degradation products formed) that the generator's wastes contain none of the K181 constituents [see paragraph (C) of this rule] can use the generator's knowledge to determine that the generator's waste is not K181. The generator shall document the basis for all such determinations on an annual basis and keep each annual documentation for three years.

(2) Determination for generated quantities of one thousand metric tons per year or less for wastes that contain K181 constituents. If the total annual quantity of dyes or pigment nonwastewaters generated is one thousand metric tons or less, the generator may use knowledge of the wastes (e.g., knowledge of constituents in wastes based on prior analytical data or information about raw materials used, production processes used, and reaction and degradation products formed) to conclude that annual mass loadings for the K181 constituents are below the listing levels in paragraph (C) of this rule. To make this determination, the generator shall:

(a) Each year document the basis for determining that the annual quantity of nonwastewaters expected to be generated will be less than one thousand metric tons.

(b) Track the actual quantity of nonwastewaters generated from January first to December thirty-first of each year. If, at any time within the year, the actual waste quantity exceeds one thousand metric tons, the generator shall comply with paragraph (D)(3) of this rule for the remainder of the year.

(c) Keep a running total of the K181 constituent mass loadings over the course of the calendar year.

(d) Keep the following records on site for the three most recent calendar years in which the hazardous waste determinations are made:

(i) The quantity of dyes or pigment nonwastewaters generated.

(ii) The relevant process information used.

(iii) The calculations performed to determine annual total mass loadings for each K181 constituent in the nonwastewaters during the year.

(3) Determination for generated quantities greater than one thousand metric tons per year for wastes that contain K181 constituents. If the total annual quantity of dyes or pigment nonwastewaters generated is greater than one thousand metric tons, the generator shall perform all of the steps described in paragraphs (D)(3)(a) to (D)(3)(k) of this rule in order to make a determination that the generator's waste is not K181.

(a) Determine which K181 constituents [see paragraph (C) of this rule] are reasonably expected to be present in the wastes based on knowledge of the wastes (e.g., based on prior sampling and analysis data or information about raw materials used, production processes used, and reaction and degradation products formed).

(b) If 1,2-phenylenediamine is present in the wastes, the generator may use either knowledge or sampling and analysis procedures to determine the level of this constituent in the wastes. For determinations based on use of knowledge, the generator shall comply with the procedures for using knowledge described in paragraph (D)(2) of this rule and keep the records described in paragraph (D)(2)(d) of this rule. For determinations based on sampling and analysis, the generator shall comply with the sampling and analysis and recordkeeping requirements described in paragraph (D)(4) of this rule.

(c) Develop a waste sampling and analysis plan (or modify an existing plan) to collect and analyze representative waste samples for the K181 constituents reasonably expected to be present in the wastes. At a minimum, the plan shall include:

(i) A discussion of the number of samples needed to characterize the wastes fully;

(ii) The planned sample collection method to obtain representative waste samples;

(iii) A discussion of how the sampling plan accounts for potential temporal and spatial variability of the wastes; and

(iv) A detailed description of the test methods to be used, including sample preparation, cleanup (if necessary), and determinative methods.

(d) Collect and analyze samples in accordance with the waste sampling and analysis plan.

(i) The sampling and analysis shall be unbiased, precise, and representative of the wastes.

(ii) The analytical measurements shall be sufficiently sensitive, accurate, and precise to support any claim that the constituent mass loadings are below the listing levels in paragraph (C) of this rule.

(e) Record the analytical results.

(f) Record the waste quantity represented by the sampling and analysis results.

(g) Calculate constituent-specific mass loadings (product of concentrations and waste quantity).

(h) Keep a running total of the K181 constituent mass loadings over the course of the calendar year.

(i) Determine whether the mass of any of the K181 constituents listed in paragraph (C) of this rule generated between January first and December thirty-first of any year is below the K181 listing levels.

(j) Keep the following records on site for the three most recent calendar years in which the hazardous waste determinations are made

(i) The sampling and analysis plan.

(ii) The sampling and analysis results (including quality assurance or quality control data).

(iii) The quantity of dyes or pigment nonwastewaters generated.

(iv) The calculations performed to determine annual mass loadings.

(k) Nonhazardous waste determinations shall be conducted annually to verify that the wastes remain nonhazardous.

(i) The annual testing requirements are suspended after three consecutive successful annual demonstrations that the wastes are nonhazardous. The generator may then use knowledge of the wastes to support subsequent annual determinations.

(ii) The annual testing requirements are reinstated if the manufacturing or waste treatment processes generating the wastes are significantly altered, resulting in an increase of the potential for the wastes to exceed the listing levels.

(iii) If the annual testing requirements are suspended, the generator shall keep records of the process knowledge information used to support a nonhazardous determination. If testing is reinstated, a description of the process change shall be retained.

(4) Recordkeeping for the landfill disposal and combustion exemptions. For the purposes of meeting the landfill disposal and combustion condition provided in the K181 listing description, the generator shall maintain on site for three years documentation demonstrating that each shipment of waste was received by a landfill unit that is subject to or meets the landfill design standards provided in the listing description, or was treated in combustion units as specified in the listing description.

(5) Waste holding and handling. During the interim period (that is, from the point of generation to completion of the hazardous waste determination), the generator is responsible for storing the wastes appropriately. If the wastes are determined to be hazardous and the generator has not complied with the "hazardous waste rules" (as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code) during the interim period, the generator could be subject to an enforcement action for improper management.

Rule 3745-51-33 | Discarded commercial chemical products, off-specification species, container residues, and spill residues thereof.
 

The following materials or items are hazardous wastes if and when the materials or items are discarded or intended to be discarded as described in paragraph (A)(2)(a) of rule 3745-51-02 of the Administrative Code, when the materials or items are mixed with waste oil or used oil or other material and applied to the land for dust suppression or road treatment, when the materials or items are otherwise applied to the land in lieu of the original intended use or when the materials or items are contained in products that are applied to the land in lieu of the original intended use, or when, in lieu of the original intended use, the materials or items are produced for use as (or as a component of) a fuel, distributed for use as a fuel, or burned as a fuel.

(A) Any commercial chemical product, or manufacturing chemical intermediate, having the generic name listed in paragraph (E) or (F) of this rule.

(B) Any off-specification commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate which, if specifications are met, would have the generic name listed in paragraph (E) or (F) of this rule.

(C) Any residue remaining in a container or in an inner liner removed from a container that has held any commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate having the generic name listed in paragraph (E) or (F) of this rule, unless the container is "empty" as described in paragraph (B) of rule 3745-51-07 or rule 3745-266-507 of the Administrative Code.

[Comment: Unless the residue is being beneficially used or reused, or legitimately recycled or reclaimed, or being accumulated, stored, transported, or treated prior to such use, re-use, recycling, or reclamation, Ohio EPA considers the residue to be intended for discard, and thus, a hazardous waste. An example of a legitimate re-use of the residue would be where the residue remains in the container and the container is used to hold the same commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate the container previously held. An example of the discard of the residue would be where the drum is sent to a drum reconditioner who reconditions the drum but discards the residue.]

(D) Any residue or contaminated soil, water or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate having the generic name listed in paragraph (E) or (F) of this rule, or any residue or contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any off-specification chemical product and manufacturing chemical intermediate which, if specifications are met, would have the generic name listed in paragraph (E) or (F) of this rule.

[Comment: As used in this rule, the phrase "commercial chemical products or manufacturing chemical intermediates having the generic name listed in ... " refers to a chemical substance which is manufactured or formulated for commercial or manufacturing use which consists of the commercially pure grade of the chemical, any technical grades of the chemical that are produced or marketed, and all formulations in which the chemical is the sole active ingredient. That term does not refer to a material, such as a manufacturing process waste, that contains any of the substances listed in paragraph (E) or (F) of this rule. Where a manufacturing process waste is deemed to be a hazardous waste because such waste contains a substance listed in paragraph (E) or (F) of this rule, such waste shall be listed in either rule 3745-51-31 or 3745-51-32 of the Administrative Code, or shall be identified as a hazardous waste by the characteristics identified in rules 3745-51-20 to 3745-51-24 of the Administrative Code.]

(E) The commercial chemical products, manufacturing chemical intermediates or off-specification commercial chemical products or manufacturing chemical intermediates referred to in paragraphs (A) to (D) of this rule are identified as acute hazardous wastes (H).

[Comment: For the convenience of the regulated community, the primary hazardous properties of these materials have been indicated by the letters T (toxicity), and R (reactivity). Absence of a letter indicates that the compound is listed only for acute toxicity. Wastes are first listed in alphabetical order by substance and then listed again in numerical order by EPA hazardous waste number.]

Rule 3745-51-39 | Conditional exclusion for used, broken CRTs and processed CRT glass undergoing recycling.
 

Used, broken cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are not wastes if the CRTs meet the following conditions:

(A) Prior to processing. These materials are not wastes if the materials are destined for recycling and if the materials meet the following requirements:

(1) Storage. The broken CRTs shall be either:

(a) Stored in a building with a roof, floor, and walls.

(b) Placed in a container (i.e., a package or a vehicle) that is constructed, filled, and closed to minimize releases to the environment of CRT glass (including fine solid materials).

(2) Labeling. Each container in which the used, broken CRT is contained shall be labeled or marked clearly with one of the following phrases: "Used cathode ray tubes- contain leaded glass" or "Leaded glass from televisions or computers." The container also shall be labeled "Do not mix with other glass materials."

(3) Transportation. The used, broken CRTs shall be transported in a container that meets the requirements of paragraphs (A)(1)(b) and (A)(2) of this rule.

(4) Accumulating speculatively and use constituting disposal. The used, broken CRTs are subject to the limitations on being "accumulated speculatively" as provided in paragraph (C)(8) of rule 3745-51-01 of the Administrative Code. If the used, broken CRTs are used in a manner constituting disposal, the used, broken CRTs shall comply with the applicable requirements of rules 3745-266-20 to 3745-266-23 of the Administrative Code instead of this rule.

(5) Exports. In addition to the applicable conditions specified in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(4) of this rule, exporters of used, broken CRTs shall notify U.S. EPA of an intended export before the CRTs are scheduled to leave the United States, and shall comply with the notification requirements in 40 C.F.R. 261.39 (a)(5)(i) to (a)(5)(xi).

[Comment: The exercise of foreign relations and international commerce powers is reserved to the federal government under the Constitution. These responsibilities are not delegable to the states. Therefore, the importation and exportation of hazardous waste into and out of the United States is solely regulated by the federal government.]

(B) Requirements for used CRT processing. Used, broken CRTs undergoing "CRT processing" as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code are not wastes if such wastes meet the following requirements:

(1) Storage. Used, broken CRTs undergoing processing are subject to the requirement of paragraph (A)(4) of this rule.

(2) Processing.

(a) All activities specified in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of the definition of "CRT processing" in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code shall be performed within a building with a roof, floor, and walls.

(b) No activities may be performed that use temperatures high enough to volatilize lead from CRTs.

(C) Processed CRT glass sent to CRT glass making or lead smelting. Glass from used CRTs that is destined for recycling at a CRT glass manufacturer or a lead smelter after processing is not a waste unless such glass is "accumulated speculatively" as defined in paragraph (C)(8) of rule 3745-51-01 of the Administrative Code.

(D) Use constituting disposal. Glass from used CRTs that is used in a manner constituting disposal shall comply with rules 3745-266-20 to 3745-266-23 of the Administrative Code instead of this rule.

(1) Shall equal the cost of final closure at the point in the active life of the facility when the extent and manner of the facility's operation would make closure the most expensive.

(2) Shall be based on the costs to the owner or operator of hiring a third party to close the facility. A third party is a party who is neither a parent nor a subsidiary of the owner or operator. (See the definition of "parent corporation" in rule 3745-66-41 of the Administrative Code.)

(3) May not incorporate any salvage value that may be realized with the sale of recyclable materials, hazardous wastes, nonhazardous wastes, facility structures or equipment, or land or other asset associated with the facility.

(4) May not incorporate a zero cost for recyclable materials, or hazardous wastes, or nonhazardous wastes that might have economic value.

(B) During the active life of the facility, the owner or operator shall adjust the closure cost estimate for inflation within sixty days prior to the anniversary date of the establishment of the financial instruments used to comply with rule 3745-66-43 of the Administrative Code. For owners or operators using the financial test, the cost estimate shall be updated for inflation within thirty days after the close of the firm's fiscal year and before, or in conjunction with, submittal of updated information to the director as specified in paragraph (E)(3) of rule 3745-66-43 of the Administrative Code. The adjustment may be made by recalculating the closure cost estimate in current dollars, or by using an inflation factor derived as specified in 40 CFR 265.142(b).

(1) The first adjustment is made by multiplying the closure cost estimate by the inflation factor. The result is the adjusted closure cost estimate.

(2) Subsequent adjustments are made by multiplying the latest adjusted closure cost estimate by the latest inflation factor.

(C) During the active life of the facility, the owner or operator shall revise the closure cost estimate no later than thirty days after a change in owner or operator's closure requirements that would increase the cost of closure, or no later than sixty days after an unexpected event which increases the cost of closure in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (B) of rule 3745-66-11 and rule 3745-66-14 of the Administrative Code. The revised cost estimate shall be adjusted for inflation as specified in paragraph (B) of this rule. The revised closure cost estimate shall be submitted to the director within thirty days after the estimate is revised.

(D) The owner or operator shall keep at the facility during the active life of the facility the latest closure cost estimate prepared in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (C) of this rule, and, when this estimate was adjusted in accordance with paragraph (B) of this rule, the latest closure cost estimate.

(E) A copy of the facility's current, detailed closure cost estimate prepared in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (B) of this rule shall be submitted annually to the director.

(1) For owners and operators using a financial mechanism other than the financial test, such submittal of the closure cost estimate shall be made within thirty days after a revision or update to the estimate made in accordance with paragraph (B) of this rule.

(2) For owners and operators using a financial test, such submittal of the closure cost estimate shall be made within ninety days after the close of the firm's fiscal year following a revision or update to the estimate in accordance with paragraph (B) of this rule.

(F) The owner or operator shall provide financial assurance documentation that meets the requirements of paragraphs (A) to (G) of rule 3745-66-43 of the Administrative Code, except that where paragraph (H) of rule 3745-66-43 of the Administrative Code is referenced in paragraphs (A) to (G) of rule 3745-66-43 of the Administrative Code, that requirement shall be replaced with the requirements of paragraph (G) of this rule.

(G) Release of the owner or operator from the requirement to provide financial assurance in accordance with paragraph (F) of this rule. Within sixty days after receipt of written documentation from the owner or operator that the final closure was completed in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (B) of rule 3745-66-11 and rule 3745-66-14 of the Administrative Code, the director will notify the owner or operator in writing that the owner or operator is no longer required by this rule to maintain financial assurance for final closure of the facility, unless the director has reason to believe that final closure was not in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (B) of rule 3745-66-11 and rule 3745-66-14 of the Administrative Code. The director will provide the owner or operator a detailed written statement of any such reason to believe final closure was not completed.

(H) The owner or operator shall provide liability coverage for sudden accidental occurrences that meet the requirements of paragraph (A) of rule 3745-66-47 of the Administrative Code.

(I) Period of liability coverage. Within sixty days after receipt of written documentation from the owner or operator that final closure was completed in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (B) of rule 3745-66-11 and rule 3745-66-14 of the Administrative Code, the director will notify the owner or operator in writing that the owner or operator is no longer required by this rule to maintain liability coverage for that facility, unless the director has reason to believe that final closure was not completed.

Rule 3745-51-142 | Cost estimate - management of excluded hazardous secondary materials.
 

(A) The owner or operator shall have a detailed written estimate, in current dollars, of the cost of disposing of any hazardous secondary material as listed or characteristic hazardous waste, and the potential cost of closing the facility as a treatment, storage, and disposal facility.

(1) The estimate shall equal the cost of conducting the activities described in paragraph (A) of this rule at the point when the extent and manner of the facility's operation would make these activities the most expensive.

(2) The cost estimate shall be based on the costs to the owner or operator of hiring a third party to conduct these activities. A third party is a party who is neither a parent nor a subsidiary of the owner or operator. [See definition of "parent corporation" in paragraph (D) of rule 3745-66-41 of the Administrative Code.] The owner or operator may use costs for on-site disposal in accordance with applicable requirements if the owner or operator can demonstrate that on-site disposal capacity will exist at all times over the life of the facility.

(3) The cost estimate may not incorporate any salvage value that may be realized with the sale of hazardous secondary materials, or hazardous or non-hazardous wastes if applicable under paragraph (D) of rule 3745-66-13 of the Administrative Code, facility structures or equipment, land, or other assets associated with the facility.

(4) The owner or operator may not incorporate a zero cost for hazardous secondary materials, or hazardous or non-hazardous wastes if applicable under paragraph (D) of rule 3745-66-13 of the Administrative Code that might have economic value.

(B) During the active life of the facility, the owner or operator shall adjust the cost estimate for inflation within sixty days prior to the anniversary date of the establishment of the financial instruments used to comply with rule 3745-51-143 of the Administrative Code. For owners and operators using the financial test or corporate guarantee, the cost estimate shall be updated for inflation within thirty days after the close of the firm's fiscal year and before submittal of updated information to the director as specified in paragraph (E)(3) of rule 3745-51-143 of the Administrative Code. The adjustment may be made by recalculating the cost estimate in current dollars, or by using an inflation factor derived from the most recent "Implicit Price Deflator for Gross National Product" published by the U.S. department of commerce in the "Survey of Current Business," as specified in paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2) of this rule. The inflation factor is the result of dividing the latest published annual deflator by the deflator for the previous year.

(1) The first adjustment is made by multiplying the cost estimate by the inflation factor. The result is the adjusted cost estimate.

(2) Subsequent adjustments are made by multiplying the latest adjusted cost estimate by the latest inflation factor.

(C) During the active life of the facility, the owner or operator shall revise the cost estimate no later than thirty days after a change in a facility's operating plan or design that would increase the costs of conducting the activities described in paragraph (A) of this rule or no later than sixty days after an unexpected event which increases the cost of conducting the activities described in paragraph (A) of this rule. The revised cost estimate shall be adjusted for inflation as specified in paragraph (B) of this rule.

(D) The owner or operator shall keep at the facility during the operating life of the facility the latest cost estimate prepared in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (C) of this rule and, when this estimate has been adjusted in accordance with paragraph (B) of this rule, the latest adjusted cost estimate.

Rule 3745-51-143 | Financial assurance condition - management of excluded hazardous secondary materials.
 

Under paragraph (A)(24)(f)(vi) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code, an owner or operator of a reclamation or intermediate facility shall have financial assurance as a condition of the exclusion as required under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code. The owner or operator shall choose from the options as specified in paragraphs (A) to (E) of this rule.

(A) Trust fund.

(1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this rule by establishing a trust fund which conforms to the requirements of this paragraph and submitting an originally signed duplicate of the trust agreement to the director. The trustee shall be an entity which has the authority to act as a trustee and whose trust operations are regulated and examined by a federal or state agency.

(2) The wording of the trust agreement shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (A)(1) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code, and the trust agreement shall be accompanied by a formal certification of acknowledgment (for example, see paragraph (A)(2) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code.) "Schedule A" of the trust agreement shall be updated within sixty days after a change in the amount of the current cost estimate covered by the agreement.

(3) The trust fund shall be funded for the full amount of the current cost estimate before the trust fund may be relied upon to satisfy the requirements of this rule.

(4) Whenever the current cost estimate changes, the owner or operator shall compare the new estimate with the trustee's most recent annual valuation of the trust fund. If the value of the trust fund is less than the amount of the new estimate, the owner or operator, within sixty days after the change in the cost estimate, shall either deposit an amount into the trust fund so that the value of the trust fund after this deposit at least equals the amount of the current cost estimate, or obtain other financial assurance as specified in this rule to cover the difference.

(5) If the value of the trust fund is greater than the total amount of the current cost estimate, the owner or operator may submit a written request to the director for release of the amount in excess of the current cost estimate.

(6) If an owner or operator substitutes other financial assurance as specified in this rule for all or part of the trust fund, the owner or operator may submit a written request to the director for release of the amount in excess of the current cost estimate covered by the trust fund.

(7) Within sixty days after receiving a request from the owner or operator for release of funds as specified in paragraph (A)(5) or (A)(6) of this rule, the director will instruct the trustee to release to the owner or operator such funds as the director specifies in writing. If the owner or operator begins final closure under rules 3745-55-10 to 3745-55-20 of the Administrative Code or rules 3745-66-10 to 3745-66-21 of the Administrative Code, an owner or operator may request reimbursements for partial or final closure expenditures by submitting itemized bills to the director. The owner or operator may request reimbursements for partial closure only if sufficient funds are remaining in the trust fund to cover the maximum costs of closing the facility over the remaining operating life of the facility. No later than sixty days after receiving bills for partial or final closure activities, the director will instruct the trustee to make reimbursements in those amounts as the director specifies in writing, if the director determines that the partial or final closure expenditures are in accordance with the approved closure plan, or otherwise justified. If the director has reason to believe that the maximum cost of closure over the remaining life of the facility will be significantly greater than the value of the trust fund, the director may withhold reimbursements of such amounts as the director deems prudent until the director determines, in accordance with paragraph (I) of rule 3745-66-43 of the Administrative Code that the owner or operator is no longer required to maintain financial assurance for final closure of the facility. If the director does not instruct the trustee to make such reimbursements, the director will provide to the owner or operator a detailed written statement of reasons.

(8) The director will agree to termination of the trust when:

(a) An owner or operator substitutes alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule; or

(b) The director releases the owner or operator from the requirements of this rule in accordance with paragraph (I) of this rule.

(B) Surety bond guaranteeing payment into a trust fund.

(1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this rule by obtaining a surety bond which conforms to the requirements of this paragraph and submitting the bond to the director. The surety company issuing the bond shall, at a minimum, be among those listed as acceptable sureties on federal bonds in "Circular 570" of the U.S. department of the treasury.

(2) The wording of the surety bond shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (B) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code.

(3) The owner or operator who uses a surety bond to satisfy the requirements of this rule shall also establish a standby trust fund. Under the terms of the bond, all payments made thereunder will be deposited by the surety directly into the standby trust fund in accordance with instructions from the director. This standby trust fund shall meet the requirements specified in paragraph (A) of this rule, except that:

(a) An originally signed duplicate of the trust agreement shall be submitted to the director with the surety bond; and

(b) Until the standby trust fund is funded pursuant to the requirements of this rule, the following are not required by these rules:

(i) Payments into the trust fund as specified in paragraph (A) of this rule;

(ii) Updating "Schedule A" of the trust agreement (see paragraph (A) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code) to show current cost estimates;

(iii) Annual valuations as required by the trust agreement; and

(iv) Notices of nonpayment as required by the trust agreement.

(4) The bond shall guarantee that the owner or operator will:

(a) Fund the standby trust fund in an amount equal to the penal sum of the bond before loss of the exclusion under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code; or

(b) Fund the standby trust fund in an amount equal to the penal sum within fifteen days after an administrative order to begin closure issued by the director becomes final, or within fifteen days after an order to begin closure is issued by a U.S. district court or other court of competent jurisdiction; or

(c) Provide alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule, and obtain the director's written approval of the assurance provided, within ninety days after receipt by both the owner or operator and the director of a notice of cancellation of the bond from the surety.

(5) Under the terms of the bond, the surety will become liable on the bond obligation when the owner or operator fails to perform as guaranteed by the bond.

(6) The penal sum of the bond shall be in an amount at least equal to the current cost estimate, except as provided in paragraph (F) of this rule.

(7) Whenever the current cost estimate increases to an amount greater than the penal sum, the owner or operator, within sixty days after the increase, shall either cause the penal sum to be increased to an amount at least equal to the current cost estimate and submit evidence of such increase to the director, or obtain other financial assurance as specified in this rule to cover the increase. Whenever the current cost estimate decreases, the penal sum may be reduced to the amount of the current cost estimate after written approval by the director.

(8) Under the terms of the bond, the surety may cancel the bond by sending notice of cancellation by certified mail to the owner or operator and to the director. Cancellation may not occur, however, during the one hundred twenty days beginning on the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by both the owner or operator and the director, as evidenced by the return receipts.

(9) The owner or operator may cancel the bond if the director has given prior written consent based on his receipt of evidence of alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule.

(C) Letter of credit.

(1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this rule by obtaining an irrevocable standby letter of credit which conforms to the requirements of this paragraph and submitting the letter to the director. The issuing institution shall be an entity which has the authority to issue letters of credit and whose letter-of-credit operations are regulated and examined by a federal or state agency.

(2) The wording of the letter of credit shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code.

(3) An owner or operator who uses a letter of credit to satisfy the requirements of this rule shall also establish a standby trust fund. Under the terms of the letter of credit, all amounts paid pursuant to a draft by the director will be deposited by the issuing institution directly into the standby trust fund in accordance with instructions from the director. This standby trust fund shall meet the requirements of the trust fund specified in paragraph (A) of this rule, except that:

(a) An originally signed duplicate of the trust agreement shall be submitted to the director with the letter of credit; and

(b) Unless the standby trust fund is funded pursuant to the requirements of this rule, the following are not required by this chapter:

(i) Payments into the trust fund as specified in paragraph (A) of this rule;

(ii) Updating of "Schedule A" of the trust agreement (see paragraph (A) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code) to show current cost estimates;

(iii) Annual valuations as required by the trust agreement; and

(iv) Notices of nonpayment as required by the trust agreement.

(4) The letter of credit shall be accompanied by a letter from the owner or operator referring to the letter of credit by number, issuing institution, and date, and providing the U.S. EPA identification number (if any issued), name, and address of the facility, and the amount of funds assured for the facility by the letter of credit.

(5) The letter of credit shall be irrevocable and issued for a period of at least one year. The letter of credit shall provide that the expiration date will be automatically extended for a period of at least one year unless, at least one hundred twenty days before the current expiration date, the issuing institution notifies both the owner or operator and the director by certified mail of a decision not to extend the expiration date. Under the terms of the letter of credit, the one hundred twenty days will begin on the date when both the owner or operator and the director have received the notice, as evidenced by the return receipts.

(6) The letter of credit shall be issued in an amount at least equal to the current cost estimate, except as provided in paragraph (F) of this rule.

(7) Whenever the current cost estimate increases to an amount greater than the amount of the credit, the owner or operator, within sixty days after the increase, shall either cause the amount of the credit to be increased so that the amount of the credit at least equals the current cost estimate and submit evidence of such increase to the director, or obtain other financial assurance as specified in this rule to cover the increase. Whenever the current cost estimate decreases, the amount of the credit may be reduced to the amount of the current cost estimate after written approval by the director.

(8) Following a determination by the director that the hazardous secondary materials do not meet the conditions of the exclusion under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code, the director may draw on the letter of credit.

(9) If the owner or operator does not establish alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule and obtain written approval of such alternate assurance from the director within ninety days after receipt by both the owner or operator and the director of a notice from the issuing institution that the issuing institution has decided not to extend the letter of credit beyond the current expiration date, the director will draw on the letter of credit. The director may delay the drawing if the issuing institution grants an extension of the term of the credit. During the last thirty days of any such extension the director will draw on the letter of credit if the owner or operator has failed to provide alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule and obtain written approval of such assurance from the director.

(10) The director will return the letter of credit to the issuing institution for termination when:

(a) An owner or operator substitutes alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule; or

(b) The director releases the owner or operator from the requirements of this rule in accordance with paragraph (I) of this rule.

(D) Insurance.

(1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this rule by obtaining insurance which conforms to the requirements of this paragraph and submitting a certificate of such insurance to the director. At a minimum, the insurer shall be licensed to transact the business of insurance, or eligible to provide insurance as an excess or surplus lines insurer, in one or more states.

(2) The wording of the certificate of insurance shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (D) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code.

(3) The insurance policy shall be issued for a face amount at least equal to the current cost estimate, except as provided in paragraph (F) of this rule. The term "face amount" means the total amount the insurer is obligated to pay under the policy. Actual payments by the insurer will not change the face amount, although the insurer's future liability will be lowered by the amount of the payments.

(4) The insurance policy shall guarantee that funds will be available whenever needed to pay the cost of removal of all hazardous secondary materials from the unit, to pay the cost of decontamination of the unit, to pay the costs of the performance of activities required under rules 3745-55-10 to 3745-55-20 of the Administrative Code or rules 3745-66-10 to 3745-66-21 of the Administrative Code, as applicable, for the facilities covered by this policy. The policy also shall guarantee that once funds are needed, the insurer will be responsible for paying out funds, up to an amount equal to the face amount of the policy, upon the direction of the director, to such party or parties as the director specifies.

(5) After beginning partial or final closure under Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57 and 3745-205 of the Administrative Code or Chapters 3745-65 to 3745-69 and 3745-256 of the Administrative Code, as applicable, an owner or operator or any other authorized person may request reimbursements for closure expenditures by submitting itemized bills to the director. The owner or operator may request reimbursements only if the remaining value of the policy is sufficient to cover the maximum costs of closing the facility over the facility's remaining operating life. Within sixty days after receiving bills for closure activities, the director will instruct the insurer to make reimbursements in such amounts as the director specifies in writing if the director determines that the expenditures are in accordance with the approved plan or otherwise justified. If the director has reason to believe that the maximum cost over the remaining life of the facility will be significantly greater than the face amount of the policy, the director may withhold reimbursement of such amounts as the director deems prudent until the director determines, in accordance with paragraph (H) of this rule, that the owner or operator is no longer required to maintain financial assurance for the particular facility. If the director does not instruct the insurer to make such reimbursements, the director will provide to the owner or operator a detailed written statement of reasons.

(6) The owner or operator shall maintain the policy in full force and effect until the director consents to termination of the policy by the owner or operator as specified in paragraph (I)(10) of this rule. Failure to pay the premium, without substitution of alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule, will constitute a significant violation of these rules warranting such remedy as the director deems necessary. Such violation will be deemed to begin upon receipt by the director of a notice of future cancellation, termination, or failure to renew due to nonpayment of the premium, rather than upon the date of expiration.

(7) Each policy shall contain a provision allowing assignment of the policy to a successor owner or operator. Such assignment may be conditional upon consent of the insurer, provided such consent is not unreasonably refused.

(8) The policy shall provide that the insurer may not cancel, terminate, or fail to renew the policy except for failure to pay the premium. The automatic renewal of the policy shall, at a minimum, provide the insured with the option of renewal at the face amount of the expiring policy. If there is a failure to pay the premium, the insurer may elect to cancel, terminate, or fail to renew the policy by sending notice by certified mail to the owner or operator and the director. Cancellation, termination, or failure to renew may not occur, however, during the one hundred twenty days beginning with the date of receipt of the notice by both the director and the owner or operator, as evidenced by the return receipts. Cancellation, termination, or failure to renew may not occur and the policy will remain in full force and effect in the event that on or before the date of expiration:

(a) The director deems the facility abandoned; or

(b) Conditional exclusion or interim status is lost, terminated, or revoked; or

(c) Closure is ordered by the director or a U.S. district court or other court of competent jurisdiction; or

(d) The owner or operator is named as debtor in a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under Title 11 (bankruptcy), U.S. Code; or

(e) The premium due is paid.

(9) Whenever the current cost estimate increases to an amount greater than the face amount of the policy, the owner or operator, within sixty days after the increase, shall either cause the face amount to be increased to an amount at least equal to the current cost estimate and submit evidence of such increase to the director, or obtain other financial assurance as specified in this rule to cover the increase. Whenever the current cost estimate decreases, the face amount may be reduced to the amount of the current cost estimate after written approval by the director.

(10) The director will give written consent to the owner or operator that the owner or operator may terminate the insurance policy when:

(a) An owner or operator substitutes alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule; or

(b) The director releases the owner or operator from the requirements of this rule in accordance with paragraph (I) of this rule.

(E) Financial test and corporate guarantee.

(1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this rule by demonstrating that the owner or operator passes a financial test as specified in this paragraph. To pass this test, the owner or operator shall meet the criteria of either paragraph (E)(1)(a) or (E)(1)(b) of this rule:

(a) The owner or operator shall have:

(i) Two of the following three ratios: a ratio of total liabilities to net worth less than 2.0; a ratio of the sum of net income plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization to total liabilities greater than 0.1; and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities greater than 1.5; and

(ii) Net working capital and tangible net worth each at least six times the sum of the current cost estimates and the current plugging and abandonment cost estimates; and

(iii) Tangible net worth of at least ten million dollars; and

(iv) Assets located in the United States amounting to at least ninety per cent of total assets or at least six times the sum of the current cost estimates and the current plugging and abandonment cost estimates.

(b) The owner or operator shall have:

(i) A current rating for his most recent bond issuance of "AAA, AA, A, or BBB" as issued by "Standard and Poor's" or "Aaa, Aa, A, or Baa" as issued by "Moody's;" and

(ii) Tangible net worth at least six times the sum of the current cost estimates and the current plugging and abandonment cost estimates; and

(iii) Tangible net worth of at least ten million dollars; and

(iv) Assets located in the United States amounting to at least ninety per cent of total assets or at least six times the sum of the current cost estimates and the current plugging and abandonment cost estimates.

(2) The phrase "current cost estimates" as used in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule refers to the cost estimates required to be shown in paragraphs 1 to 4 of the letter from the owner's or operator's chief financial officer [paragraph (E) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code]. The phrase "current plugging and abandonment cost estimates" as used in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule refers to the cost estimates required to be shown in paragraphs 1 to 4 of the letter from the owner's or operator's chief financial officer [rules 3745-34-13 to 3745-34-15 of the Administrative Code].

(3) To demonstrate that the owner or operator meets this test, the owner or operator shall submit the following items to the director:

(a) A letter signed by the owner's or operator's chief financial officer and worded as specified in paragraph (E) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code; and

(b) A copy of the independent certified public accountant's report on examination of the owner's or operator's financial statements for the latest completed fiscal year; and

(c) If the chief financial officer's letter providing evidence of financial assurance includes financial data showing that the owner or operator satisfies paragraph (E)(1)(a) of this rule that are different from the data in the audited financial statements referred to in paragraph (E)(3)(b) of this rule or any other audited financial statement or data filed with the securities and exchange commission, then a special report from the owner's or operator's independent certified public accountant to the owner or operator is required. The special report shall be based upon an agreed upon procedures engagement in accordance with professional auditing standards and shall describe the procedures performed in comparing the data in the chief financial officer's letter derived from the independently audited, year-end financial statements for the latest fiscal year with the amounts in such financial statements, the findings of the comparison, and the reasons for any differences.

(4) The owner or operator may obtain an extension of the time allowed for submittal of the documents specified in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule if the fiscal year of the owner or operator ends during the ninety days prior to the first effective date of this rule and if the year-end financial statements for that fiscal year will be audited by an independent certified public accountant. The extension will end no later than ninety days after the end of the owner's or operator's fiscal year. To obtain the extension, the owner's or operator's chief financial officer shall send, by the first effective date of this rule, a letter to the director of each U.S. EPA region in which the owner's or operator's facilities to be covered by the financial test are located. This letter from the chief financial officer shall:

(a) Request the extension;

(b) Certify that the chief financial officer has grounds to believe that the owner or operator meets the criteria of the financial test;

(c) Specify for each facility to be covered by the test the U.S. EPA identification number (if any issued), name, address, and current cost estimates to be covered by the test;

(d) Specify the date ending the owner's or operator's last complete fiscal year before the first effective date of this rule in rules 3745-51-140 to 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code;

(e) Specify the date, no later than ninety days after the end of such fiscal year, when the owner or operator will submit the documents specified in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule; and

(f) Certify that the year-end financial statements of the owner or operator for such fiscal year will be audited by an independent certified public accountant.

(5) After the initial submittal of items specified in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule, the owner or operator shall send updated information to the director within ninety days after the close of each succeeding fiscal year. This information shall consist of all three items specified in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule.

(6) If the owner or operator no longer meets the requirements of paragraph (E)(1) of this rule, the owner or operator shall send notice to the director of intent to establish alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule. The notice shall be sent by certified mail within ninety days after the end of the fiscal year for which the year-end financial data show that the owner or operator no longer meets the requirements. The owner or operator shall provide the alternate financial assurance within one hundred twenty days after the end of such fiscal year.

(7) The director may, based on a reasonable belief that the owner or operator may no longer meet the requirements of paragraph (E)(1) of this rule, require reports of financial condition at any time from the owner or operator in addition to those specified in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule. If the director finds, on the basis of such reports or other information, that the owner or operator no longer meets the requirements of paragraph (E)(1) of this rule, the owner or operator shall provide alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule within thirty days after notification of such a finding.

(8) The director may disallow use of this test on the basis of qualifications in the opinion expressed by the independent certified public accountant in his report on examination of the owner's or operator's financial statements [see paragraph (E)(3)(b) of this rule]. An adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion will be cause for disallowance. The director will evaluate other qualifications on an individual basis. The owner or operator shall provide alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule within thirty days after notification of the disallowance.

(9) The owner or operator is no longer required to submit the items specified in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule when:

(a) An owner or operator substitutes alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule; or

(b) The director releases the owner or operator from the requirements of this rule in accordance with paragraph (I) of this rule.

(10) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this rule by obtaining a written guarantee. The guarantor shall be the direct or higher-tier parent corporation of the owner or operator, a firm whose parent corporation is also the parent corporation of the owner or operator, or a firm with a "substantial business relationship" with the owner or operator. The guarantor shall meet the requirements for owners or operators in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(8) of this rule and shall comply with the terms of the guarantee. The wording of the guarantee shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (G)(1) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code. A certified copy of the guarantee shall accompany the items sent to the director as specified in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule. One of these items shall be the letter from the guarantor's chief financial officer. If the guarantor's parent corporation is also the parent corporation of the owner or operator, the letter shall describe the value received in consideration of the guarantee. If the guarantor is a firm with a "substantial business relationship" with the owner or operator, this letter shall describe this "substantial business relationship" and the value received in consideration of the guarantee. The terms of the guarantee shall provide that:

(a) Following a determination by the director that the hazardous secondary materials at the owner or operator's facility covered by this guarantee do not meet the conditions of the exclusion under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code, the guarantor will dispose of any hazardous secondary material as hazardous waste and close the facility in accordance with closure requirements in Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57 and 3745-205 of the Administrative Code or Chapters 3745-65 to 3745-69 and 3745-256 of the Administrative Code, as applicable, or establish a trust fund as specified in paragraph (A) of this rule in the name of the owner or operator in the amount of the current cost estimate.

(b) The corporate guarantee will remain in force unless the guarantor sends notice of cancellation by certified mail to the owner or operator and to the director. Cancellation may not occur, however, during the one hundred twenty days beginning on the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by both the owner or operator and the director, as evidenced by the return receipts.

(c) If the owner or operator fails to provide alternate financial assurance as specified in this rule and obtain the written approval of such alternate assurance from the director within ninety days after receipt by both the owner or operator and the director of a notice of cancellation of the corporate guarantee from the guarantor, the guarantor will provide such alternate financial assurance in the name of the owner or operator.

(F) Use of multiple financial mechanisms. An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this rule by establishing more than one financial mechanism per facility. These mechanisms are limited to trust funds, surety bonds, letters of credit, and insurance. The mechanisms shall be as specified in paragraphs (A) to (D) of this rule, respectively, of this rule, except that it is the combination of mechanisms, rather than the single mechanism, which shall provide financial assurance for an amount at least equal to the current cost estimate. If an owner or operator uses a trust fund in combination with a surety bond or a letter of credit, he the owner or operator may use the trust fund as the standby trust fund for the other mechanisms. A single standby trust fund may be established for two or more mechanisms. The director may use any or all of the mechanisms to provide for the facility.

(G) Use of a financial mechanism for multiple facilities. An owner or operator may use a financial assurance mechanism specified in this rule to meet the requirements of this rule for more than one facility. Evidence of financial assurance submitted to the director shall include a list showing, for each facility, the U.S. EPA identification number (if any issued), name, address, and the amount of funds assured by the mechanism. If the facilities covered by the mechanism are in more than one U.S. EPA region, identical evidence of financial assurance shall be submitted to and maintained with the directors of all such regions. The amount of funds available through the mechanism shall be no less than the sum of funds that would be available if a separate mechanism had been established and maintained for each facility. In directing funds available through the mechanism for any of the facilities covered by the mechanism, the director may direct only the amount of funds designated for that facility, unless the owner or operator agrees to the use of additional funds available under the mechanism.

(H) Removal and decontamination plan for release

(1) An owner or operator of a reclamation facility or an intermediate facility who wishes to be released from his financial assurance obligations under paragraph (A)(24)(f)(vi) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code shall submit a plan for removing all hazardous secondary material residues to the director at least one hundred eighty days prior to the date on which he the owner or operator expects to cease to operate under the exclusion.

(2) The plan shall include, at least:

(a) For each hazardous secondary materials storage unit subject to financial assurance requirements under paragraph (A)(24)(f)(vi) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code, a description of how all excluded hazardous secondary materials will be recycled or sent for recycling, and how all residues, contaminated containment systems (liners, etc.), contaminated soils, subsoils, structures, and equipment will be removed or decontaminated as necessary to protect human health and the environment, and

(b) A detailed description of the steps necessary to remove or decontaminate all hazardous secondary material residues and contaminated containment system components, equipment, structures, and soils including, but not limited to, procedures for cleaning equipment and removing contaminated soils, methods for sampling and testing surrounding soils, and criteria for determining the extent of decontamination necessary to protect human health and the environment; and

(c) A detailed description of any other activities necessary to protect human health and the environment during this timeframe, including, but not limited to, leachate collection, run-on and run-off control, etc.; and

(d) A schedule for conducting the activities described which, at a minimum, includes the total time required to remove all excluded hazardous secondary materials for recycling and decontaminate all units subject to financial assurance under paragraph (A)(24)(f)(vi) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code and the time required for intervening activities which will allow tracking of the progress of decontamination.

(3) The director will provide the owner or operator and the public, through a newspaper notice, the opportunity to submit written comments on the plan and request modifications to the plan no later than thirty days from the date of the notice. The director, in response to a request or at the director's discretion, also shall hold a public hearing whenever such a hearing might clarify one or more issues concerning the plan. The director will give public notice of the public hearing at least thirty days before the public hearing occurs. (Public notice of the public hearing may be given at the same time as notice of the opportunity for the public to submit written comments, and the two notices may be combined.) The director will approve, modify, or disapprove the plan within ninety days of receipt of the plan. If the director does not approve the plan, the director shall provide the owner or operator with a detailed written statement of reasons for the refusal and the owner or operator shall modify the plan or submit a new plan for approval within thirty days after receiving such written statement. The director will approve or modify this plan in writing within sixty days. If the director modifies the plan, this modified plan becomes the approved plan. The director shall assure that the approved plan is consistent with paragraph (H) of this rule. A copy of the modified plan with a detailed statement of reasons for the modifications shall be mailed to the owner or operator.

(4) Within sixty days after completion of the activities described for each hazardous secondary materials management unit, the owner or operator shall submit to the director, by registered mail, a certification that all hazardous secondary materials have been removed from the unit and the unit has been decontaminated in accordance with the specifications in the approved plan. The certification shall be signed by the owner or operator and by a qualified professional engineer. Documentation supporting the professional engineer's certification shall be furnished to the director, upon request, until the director releases the owner or operator from the financial assurance requirements for paragraph (A)(24)(f)(vi) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code.

(I) Release of the owner or operator from the requirements of this rule. Within sixty days after receiving certifications from the owner or operator and a qualified professional engineer that all hazardous secondary materials have been removed from the facility or a unit at the facility and the facility or a unit has been decontaminated in accordance with the approved plan per paragraph (H) of this rule, the director will notify the owner or operator in writing that the owner or operator is no longer required under paragraph (A)(24)(f)(vi) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code to maintain financial assurance for that facility or a unit at the facility, unless the director has reason to believe that all hazardous secondary materials have not been removed from the facility or unit at a facility or that the facility or unit has not been decontaminated in accordance with the approved plan. The director shall provide the owner or operator a detailed written statement of any such reason to believe that all hazardous secondary materials have not been removed from the unit or that the unit has not been decontaminated in accordance with the approved plan.

Rule 3745-51-147 | Liability requirements - management of excluded hazardous secondary materials.
 

(A) Coverage for sudden accidental occurrences. An owner or operator of a hazardous secondary material reclamation facility or an intermediate facility subject to financial assurance requirements under paragraph (A)(24)(f)(vi) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code, or a group of such facilities, shall demonstrate financial responsibility for bodily injury and property damage to third parties caused by sudden accidental occurrences arising from operations of the facility or group of facilities. The owner or operator shall have and maintain liability coverage for sudden accidental occurrences in the amount of at least one million dollars per occurrence with an annual aggregate of at least two million dollars, exclusive of legal defense costs. This liability coverage may be demonstrated as specified in paragraph (A)(1), (A)(2), (A)(3), (A)(4), (A)(5), or (A)(6) of this rule:

(1) An owner or operator may demonstrate the required liability coverage by having liability insurance as specified in this paragraph.

(a) Each insurance policy shall be amended by attachment of the "Hazardous Secondary Material Facility Liability Endorsement," or evidenced by a "Certificate of Liability Insurance." The wording of the endorsement shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (H) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code. The wording of the certificate of insurance shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (I) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code. The owner or operator shall submit a signed duplicate original of the endorsement or the certificate of insurance to the director, or directors if the facilities are located in more than one U.S. EPA region. If requested by a director, the owner or operator shall provide a signed duplicate original of the insurance policy.

(b) Each insurance policy shall be issued by an insurer which, at a minimum, is licensed to transact the business of insurance, or eligible to provide insurance as an excess or surplus lines insurer, in one or more states.

(2) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this rule by passing a financial test or using the guarantee for liability coverage as specified in paragraphs (F) and (G) of this rule.

(3) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this rule by obtaining a letter of credit for liability coverage as specified in paragraph (H) of this rule.

(4) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this rule by obtaining a surety bond for liability coverage as specified in paragraph (I) of this rule.

(6) An owner or operator may demonstrate the required liability coverage through the use of combinations of insurance, financial test, guarantee, letter of credit, surety bond, and trust fund, except that the owner or operator may not combine a financial test covering part of the liability coverage requirement with a guarantee unless the financial statement of the owner or operator is not consolidated with the financial statement of the guarantor. The amounts of coverage demonstrated shall total at least the minimum amounts required by this rule. If the owner or operator demonstrates the required coverage through the use of a combination of financial assurances under this paragraph, the owner or operator shall specify at least one such assurance as "primary" coverage and shall specify other assurance as "excess" coverage.

(7) An owner or operator shall notify the director in writing within thirty days whenever:

(a) A claim results in a reduction in the amount of financial assurance for liability coverage provided by a financial instrument authorized in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(6) of this rule; or

(b) A certification of valid claim for bodily injury or property damages caused by a sudden or non-sudden accidental occurrence arising from the operation of a hazardous secondary material reclamation facility or intermediate facility is entered between the owner or operator and third-party claimant for liability coverage under paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(6) of this rule; or

(c) A final court order establishing a judgment for bodily injury or property damage caused by a sudden or non-sudden accidental occurrence arising from the operation of a hazardous secondary material reclamation facility or intermediate facility is issued against the owner or operator or an instrument that is providing financial assurance for liability coverage under paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(6) of this rule.

(B) Coverage for non-sudden accidental occurrences. An owner or operator of a "hazardous secondary material" reclamation facility or "intermediate facility" with "land-based units," as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code, which are used to manage hazardous secondary materials excluded under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code or a group of such facilities, shall demonstrate financial responsibility for bodily injury and property damage to third parties caused by non-sudden accidental occurrences arising from operations of the facility or group of facilities. The owner or operator shall have and maintain liability coverage for non-sudden accidental occurrences in the amount of at least three million dollars per occurrence with an annual aggregate of at least six million dollars, exclusive of legal defense costs. An owner or operator who shall meet the requirements of this rule may combine the required per-occurrence coverage levels for sudden and non-sudden accidental occurrences into a single per-occurrence level, and combine the required annual aggregate coverage levels for sudden and non-sudden accidental occurrences into a single annual aggregate level. Owners or operators who combine coverage levels for sudden and non-sudden accidental occurrences shall maintain liability coverage in the amount of at least four million dollars per occurrence and eight million dollars annual aggregate. This liability coverage may be demonstrated as specified in paragraph (B)(1), (B)(2), (B)(3), (B)(4), (B)(5), or (B)(6) of this rule:

(1) An owner or operator may demonstrate the required liability coverage by having liability insurance as specified in this paragraph.

(a) Each insurance policy shall be amended by attachment of the "Hazardous Secondary Material Facility Liability Endorsement" or evidenced by a "Certificate of Liability Insurance." The wording of the endorsement shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (H) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code. The wording of the certificate of insurance shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (I) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code.

If requested by a director, the owner or operator shall provide a signed duplicate original of the insurance policy.

(b) Each insurance policy shall be issued by an insurer which, at a minimum, is licensed to transact the business of insurance, or eligible to provide insurance as an excess or surplus lines insurer, in one or more states.

(2) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this rule by passing a financial test or using the guarantee for liability coverage as specified in paragraphs (F) and (G) of this rule.

(3) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this rule by obtaining a letter of credit for liability coverage as specified in paragraph (H) of this rule.

(4) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this rule by obtaining a surety bond for liability coverage as specified in paragraph (I) of this rule.

(5) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this rule by obtaining a trust fund for liability coverage as specified in paragraph (J) of this rule.

(6) An owner or operator may demonstrate the required liability coverage through the use of combinations of insurance, financial test, guarantee, letter of credit, surety bond, and trust fund, except that the owner or operator may not combine a financial test covering part of the liability coverage requirement with a guarantee unless the financial statement of the owner or operator is not consolidated with the financial statement of the guarantor. The amounts of coverage demonstrated shall total at least the minimum amounts required by this rule. If the owner or operator demonstrates the required coverage through the use of a combination of financial assurances under this paragraph, the owner or operator shall specify at least one such assurance as "primary" coverage and shall specify other assurance as "excess" coverage.

(7) An owner or operator shall notify the director in writing within thirty days whenever:

(a) A claim results in a reduction in the amount of financial assurance for liability coverage provided by a financial instrument authorized in paragraphs (B)(1) to (B)(6) of this rule; or

(b) A certification of valid claim for bodily injury or property damages caused by a sudden or non-sudden accidental occurrence arising from the operation of a hazardous secondary material treatment storage facility is entered between the owner or operator and third-party claimant for liability coverage under paragraphs (B)(1) to (B)(6) of this rule; or

(c) A final court order establishing a judgment for bodily injury or property damage caused by a sudden or non-sudden accidental occurrence arising from the operation of a hazardous secondary material treatment or storage facility is issued against the owner or operator or an instrument that is providing financial assurance for liability coverage under paragraphs (B)(1) to (B)(6) of this rule.

(C) Request for variance. If an owner or operator can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the director that the levels of financial responsibility required by paragraph (A) or (B) of this rule are not consistent with the degree and duration of risk associated with treatment or storage at the facility or group of facilities, the owner or operator may obtain a variance from the director. The request for a variance shall be submitted in writing to the director. If granted, the variance will take the form of an adjusted level of required liability coverage, such level to be based on the director's assessment of the degree and duration of risk associated with the ownership or operation of the facility or group of facilities. The director may require an owner or operator who requests a variance to provide such technical and engineering information as is deemed necessary by the director to determine a level of financial responsibility other than that required by paragraph (A) or (B) of this rule.

(D) Adjustments by the director. If the director determines that the levels of financial responsibility required by paragraph (A) or (B) of this rule are not consistent with the degree and duration of risk associated with treatment or storage at the facility or group of facilities, the director may adjust the level of financial responsibility required under paragraph (A) or (B) of this rule as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment. This adjusted level will be based on the director's assessment of the degree and duration of risk associated with the ownership or operation of the facility or group of facilities. In addition, if the director determines that there is a significant risk to human health and the environment from non-sudden accidental occurrences resulting from the operations of a facility that is not a surface impoundment, pile, or land treatment facility, the director may require that an owner or operator of the facility comply with paragraph (B) of this rule. An owner or operator shall furnish to the director, within a reasonable time, any information which the director requests to determine whether cause exists for such adjustments of level or type of coverage.

(E) Period of coverage. Within sixty days after receiving certifications from the owner or operator and a qualified professional engineer that all hazardous secondary materials have been removed from the facility or a unit at the facility and the facility or a unit has been decontaminated in accordance with the approved plan under paragraph (H) of rule 3745-51-143 of the Administrative Code, the director will notify the owner or operator in writing that the owner or operator is no longer required under paragraph (A)(24)(f)(vi) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code to maintain liability coverage for that facility or a unit at the facility, unless the director has reason to believe that that all hazardous secondary materials have not been removed from the facility or unit at a facility or that the facility or unit has not been decontaminated in accordance with the approved plan.

(F) Financial test for liability coverage.

(1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this rule by demonstrating that the owner or operator passes a financial test as specified in this paragraph. To pass this test the owner or operator shall meet the criteria of paragraph (F)(1)(a) or (F)(1)(b) of this rule:

(a) The owner or operator shall have:

(i) Net working capital and tangible net worth each at least six times the amount of liability coverage to be demonstrated by this test; and

(ii) Tangible net worth of at least ten million dollars; and

(a) At least ninety per cent of the owner's total assets; or

(b) At least six times the amount of liability coverage to be demonstrated by this test.

(b) The owner or operator shall have:

(iii) Tangible net worth at least six times the amount of liability coverage to be demonstrated by this test; and

(iv) Assets in the United States amounting to either:

(a) At least ninety per cent of the owner's total assets; or

(b) At least six times the amount of liability coverage to be demonstrated by this test.

(2) The phrase "amount of liability coverage" as used in paragraph (F)(1) of this rule refers to the annual aggregate amounts for which coverage is required under paragraphs (A) and (B) of this rule and the annual aggregate amounts for which coverage is required under paragraphs (A) and (B) of rule 3745-55-47 of the Administrative Code and paragraphs (A) and (B) of rule 3745-66-47 of the Administrative Code.

(3) To demonstrate that the owner or operator meets this test, the owner or operator shall submit the following three items to the director:

(a) A letter signed by the owner's or operator's chief financial officer and worded as specified in paragraph (F) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code. If an owner or operator is using the financial test to demonstrate both assurance as specified by paragraph (E) of rule 3745-51-143 of the Administrative Code, and liability coverage, the owner or operator shall submit the letter specified in paragraph (F) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code to cover both forms of financial responsibility; a separate letter as specified in paragraph (E) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code is not required.

The extension will end no later than ninety days after the end of the owner's or operator's fiscal year. To obtain the extension, the owner's or operator's chief financial officer shall send, by the first effective date of this rule, a letter to the director of each U.S. EPA region in which the operator's facilities to be covered by the financial test are located. This letter from the chief financial officer shall:

(a) Request the extension;

(b) Certify that the chief financial officer has grounds to believe that the owner or operator meets the criteria of the financial test;

This information shall consist of all three items specified in paragraph (F)(3) of this rule.

(6) If the owner or operator no longer meets the requirements of paragraph (F)(1) of this rule, the owner or operator shall obtain insurance, a letter of credit, a surety bond, a trust fund, or a guarantee for the entire amount of required liability coverage as specified in this rule. Evidence of liability coverage shall be submitted to the director within ninety days after the end of the fiscal year for which the year-end financial data show that the owner or operator no longer meets the test requirements.

(7) The director may disallow use of this test on the basis of qualifications in the opinion expressed by the independent certified public accountant in his report on examination of the owner's or operator's financial statements [see paragraph (F)(3)(b) of this rule]. An adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion will be cause for disallowance. The director will evaluate other qualifications on an individual basis. The owner or operator shall provide evidence of insurance for the entire amount of required liability coverage as specified in this rule within thirty days after notification of disallowance.

(G) Guarantee for liability coverage.

(1) Subject to paragraph (G)(2) of this rule, an owner or operator may meet the requirements of this rule by obtaining a written guarantee, hereinafter referred to as "guarantee." The guarantor shall be the direct or higher-tier parent corporation of the owner or operator, a firm whose parent corporation is also the parent corporation of the owner or operator, or a firm with a "substantial business relationship" with the owner or operator. The guarantor shall meet the requirements for owners or operators in paragraphs (F)(1) to (F)(6) of this rule.

A certified copy of the guarantee shall accompany the items sent to the director as specified in paragraph (F)(3) of this rule. One of these items shall be the letter from the guarantor's chief financial officer. If the guarantor's parent corporation is also the parent corporation of the owner or operator, this letter shall describe the value received in consideration of the guarantee. If the guarantor is a firm with a "substantial business relationship" with the owner or operator, this letter shall describe this "substantial business relationship" and the value received in consideration of the guarantee.

(a) If the owner or operator fails to satisfy a judgment based on a determination of liability for bodily injury or property damage to third parties caused by sudden or non-sudden accidental occurrences (or both as the case may be), arising from the operation of facilities covered by this corporate guarantee, or fails to pay an amount agreed to in settlement of claims arising from or alleged to arise from such injury or damage, the guarantor will do so up to the limits of coverage.

(b) [Reserved.]

(2) The surety company issuing the bond shall be among those listed as acceptable sureties on federal bonds in the most recent "Circular 570" of the U.S. department of the treasury.

(3) The wording of the surety bond shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (K) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code.

(4) A surety bond may be used to satisfy the requirements of this rule only if the attorneys general or insurance commissioners of:

(a) The state in which the surety is incorporated; and

(b) Each state in which a facility covered by the surety bond is located have submitted a written statement to Ohio EPA that a surety bond executed as described in this rule and in paragraph (K) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code is a legally valid and enforceable obligation in that state.

(J) Trust fund for liability coverage.

(1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this rule by establishing a trust fund that conforms to the requirements of this paragraph and submitting an originally signed duplicate of the trust agreement to the director.

(2) The trustee shall be an entity which has the authority to act as a trustee and whose trust operations are regulated and examined by a federal or state agency.

(3) The trust fund for liability coverage shall be funded for the full amount of the liability coverage to be provided by the trust fund before the trust fund may be relied upon to satisfy the requirements of this rule. If at any time after the trust fund is created the amount of funds in the trust fund is reduced below the full amount of the liability coverage to be provided, the owner or operator, by the anniversary date of the establishment of the trust fund, shall either add sufficient funds to the trust fund to cause the value of the trust fund to equal the full amount of liability coverage to be provided, or obtain other financial assurance as specified in this rule to cover the difference. For purposes of this paragraph, "the full amount of the liability coverage to be provided" means the amount of coverage for sudden or non-sudden occurrences required to be provided by the owner or operator by this rule, less the amount of financial assurance for liability coverage that is being provided by other financial assurance mechanisms being used to demonstrate financial assurance by the owner or operator.

(4) The wording of the trust fund shall be identical to the wording specified in paragraph (L) of rule 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code.

(1) A trust agreement for a trust fund, as specified in paragraph (A) of rule 3745-51-143 of the Administrative Code shall be ordered as follows, except that instructions in brackets are to be replaced with the relevant information and the brackets deleted:

"Trust Agreement

Trust Agreement, the "Agreement," entered into as of [date] by and between [name of the owner or operator], a [name of state] [insert "corporation," "partnership," "association," or "proprietorship"], the "Grantor," and [name of corporate trustee], [insert "incorporated in the state of -----------" or "a national bank"], the "Trustee."

Whereas, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, "U.S. EPA," an agency of the United States government, has established certain rules applicable to the Grantor, requiring that an owner or operator of a facility regulated under Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57 and 3745-205 or Chapters 3745-65 to 3745-69 and 3745-256 of the Administrative Code, or satisfying the conditions of the exclusion under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code shall provide assurance that funds will be available if needed for care of the facility under rules 3745-55-10 to 3745-55-20 of the Administrative Code or rules 3745-66-10 to 3745-66-21 of the Administrative Code, as applicable,

Whereas, the Grantor has elected to establish a trust to provide all or part of such financial assurance for the facilities identified herein,

Whereas, the Grantor, acting through the Guarantor's duly authorized officers, has selected the Trustee to be the trustee under this agreement, and the Trustee is willing to act as trustee,

Now, Therefore, the Grantor and the Trustee agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(a) The term "Grantor" means the owner or operator who enters into this Agreement and any successors or assigns of the Grantor.

(b) The term "Trustee" means the Trustee who enters into this Agreement and any successor Trustee.

Section 3. Establishment of Fund. The Grantor and the Trustee hereby establish a trust fund, the "Fund," for the benefit of Ohio EPA in the event that the hazardous secondary materials of the grantor no longer meet the conditions of the exclusion under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code. The Grantor and the Trustee intend that no third party have access to the Fund except as herein provided. The Fund is established initially as consisting of the property, which is acceptable to the Trustee, described in Schedule B attached hereto. Such property and any other property subsequently transferred to the Trustee is referred to as the Fund, together with all earnings and profits thereon, less any payments or distributions made by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. The Fund shall be held by the Trustee, IN TRUST, as hereinafter provided. The Trustee shall not be responsible nor shall the Trustee undertake any responsibility for the amount or adequacy of, nor any duty to collect from the Grantor, any payments necessary to discharge any liabilities of the Grantor established by Ohio EPA.

Section 4. Payments from the Fund. The Trustee shall make payments from the Fund as the director shall direct, in writing, to provide for the payment of the costs of the performance of activities required under rules 3745-55-10 to 3745-55-20 of the Administrative Code or rules 3745-66-10 to 3745-66-21 of the Administrative Code for the facilities covered by this Agreement. The Trustee shall reimburse the Grantor or other persons as specified by the director from the Fund for expenditures for such activities in such amounts as the beneficiary shall direct in writing. In addition, the Trustee shall refund to the Grantor such amounts as the director specifies in writing. Upon refund, such funds shall no longer constitute part of the Fund as defined herein.

Section 5. Payments Comprising the Fund. Payments made to the Trustee for the Fund shall consist of cash or securities acceptable to the Trustee.

Section 6. Trustee Management. The Trustee shall invest and reinvest the principal and income of the Fund and keep the Fund invested as a single fund, without distinction between principal and income, in accordance with general investment policies and guidelines which the Grantor may communicate in writing to the Trustee from time to time, subject, however, to the provisions of this section. In investing, reinvesting, exchanging, selling, and managing the Fund, the Trustee shall discharge his duties with respect to the trust fund solely in the interest of the beneficiary and with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing which persons of prudence, acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters, would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims; except that:

(a) Securities or other obligations of the Grantor, or any other owner or operator of the facilities, or any of their affiliates as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, shall not be acquired or held, unless they are securities or other obligations of the federal or a state government;

(b) The Trustee is authorized to invest the Fund in time or demand deposits of the Trustee, to the extent insured by an agency of the federal or state government; and

(c) The Trustee is authorized to hold cash awaiting investment or distribution uninvested for a reasonable time and without liability for the payment of interest thereon.

Section 7. Commingling and Investment. The Trustee is expressly authorized in its discretion:

(a) To transfer from time to time any or all of the assets of the Fund to any common, commingled, or collective trust fund created by the Trustee in which the Fund is eligible to participate, subject to all of the provisions thereof, to be commingled with the assets of other trusts participating therein; and

(b) To purchase shares in any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, including one which may be created, managed, underwritten, or to which investment advice is rendered or the shares of which are sold by the Trustee. The Trustee may vote such shares in its discretion.

Section 8. Express Powers of Trustee. Without in any way limiting the powers and discretions conferred upon the Trustee by the other provisions of this Agreement or by law, the Trustee is expressly authorized and empowered:

(a) To sell, exchange, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any property held by it, by public or private sale. No person dealing with the Trustee shall be bound to see to the application of the purchase money or to inquire into the validity or expediency of any such sale or other disposition;

(b) To make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all documents of transfer and conveyance and any and all other instruments that may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the powers herein granted;

(c) To register any securities held in the Fund in its own name or in the name of a nominee and to hold any security in bearer form or in book entry, or to combine certificates representing such securities with certificates of the same issue held by the Trustee in other fiduciary capacities, or to deposit or arrange for the deposit of such securities in a qualified central depositary even though, when so deposited, such securities may be merged and held in bulk in the name of the nominee of such depositary with other securities deposited therein by another person, or to deposit or arrange for the deposit of any securities issued by the United States government, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, with a Federal Reserve bank, but the books and records of the Trustee shall at all times show that all such securities are part of the Fund;

(d) To deposit any cash in the Fund in interest-bearing accounts maintained or savings certificates issued by the Trustee, in its separate corporate capacity, or in any other banking institution affiliated with the Trustee, to the extent insured by an agency of the federal or state government; and

(e) To compromise or otherwise adjust all claims in favor of or against the Fund.

Section 9. Taxes and Expenses. All taxes of any kind that may be assessed or levied against or in respect of the Fund and all brokerage commissions incurred by the Fund shall be paid from the Fund.

Section 10. Annual Valuation. The Trustee shall annually, at least thirty days prior to the anniversary date of establishment of the Fund, furnish to the Grantor and to the appropriate director a statement confirming the value of the Trust. Any securities in the Fund shall be valued at market value as of no more than sixty days prior to the anniversary date of establishment of the Fund. The failure of the Grantor to object in writing to the Trustee within ninety days after the statement has been furnished to the Grantor and the director shall constitute a conclusively binding assent by the Grantor, barring the Grantor from asserting any claim or liability against the Trustee with respect to matters disclosed in the statement.

Section 11. Advice of Counsel. The Trustee may from time to time consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Grantor, with respect to any question arising as to the construction of this Agreement or any action to be taken hereunder. The Trustee shall be fully protected, to the extent permitted by law, in acting upon the advice of counsel.

Section 12. Trustee Compensation. The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services as agreed upon in writing from time to time with the Grantor.

Section 13. Successor Trustee. The Trustee may resign or the Grantor may replace the Trustee, but such resignation or replacement shall not be effective until the Grantor has appointed a successor trustee and this successor accepts the appointment. The successor trustee shall have the same powers and duties as those conferred upon the Trustee hereunder. Upon the successor trustee's acceptance of the appointment, the Trustee shall assign, transfer, and pay over to the successor trustee the funds and properties then constituting the Fund. If for any reason the Grantor cannot or does not act in the event of the resignation of the Trustee, the Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or for instructions. The successor trustee shall specify the date on which the successor trustee assumes administration of the trust in a writing sent to the Grantor, the director, and the present Trustee by certified mail ten days before such change becomes effective. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee as a result of any of the acts contemplated by this Section shall be paid as provided in Section 9.

Section 14. Instructions to the Trustee. All orders, requests, and instructions by the Grantor to the Trustee shall be in writing, signed by such persons as are designated in the attached Exhibit A or such other designees as the Grantor may designate by amendment to Exhibit A. The Trustee shall be fully protected in acting without inquiry in accordance with the Grantor's orders, requests, and instructions. All orders, requests, and instructions by the director to the Trustee shall be in writing, signed by the director of the Regions in which the facilities are located, or their designees, and the Trustee shall act and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such orders, requests, and instructions. The Trustee shall have the right to assume, in the absence of written notice to the contrary, that no event constituting a change or a termination of the authority of any person to act on behalf of the Grantor or Ohio EPA hereunder has occurred. The Trustee shall have no duty to act in the absence of such orders, requests, and instructions from the Grantor or Ohio EPA, except as provided for herein.

Section 15. Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended by an instrument in writing executed by the Grantor, the Trustee, and the appropriate director, or by the Trustee and the appropriate director if the Grantor ceases to exist.

Section 16. Irrevocability and Termination. Subject to the right of the parties to amend this Agreement as provided in Section 16, this Trust shall be irrevocable and shall continue until terminated at the written agreement of the Grantor, the Trustee, and the director, or by the Trustee and the director, if the Grantor ceases to exist.

Section 17. Immunity and Indemnification.

Surety's bond number:

Know All Persons By These Presents, That we, the Principal and Surety(ies) are firmly bound to U.S. EPA in the event that the hazardous secondary materials at the reclamation or intermediate facility listed below no longer meet the conditions of the exclusion under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code in the above penal sum for the payment of which we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns jointly and severally; provided that, where the Surety(ies) are corporations acting as co-sureties, we, the Sureties, bind ourselves in such sum "jointly and severally" only for the purpose of allowing a joint action or actions against any or all of us, and for all other purposes each Surety binds itself, jointly and severally with the Principal, for the payment of such sum only as is set forth opposite the name of such Surety, but if no limit of liability is indicated, the limit of liability shall be the full amount of the penal sum.

Whereas said Principal is required, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act as amended (RCRA), to have a permit or interim status in order to own or operate each facility identified above, or to meet conditions under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code, and

Whereas said Principal is required to provide financial assurance as a condition of permit or interim status or as a condition of an exclusion under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code, and

Whereas said Principal shall establish a standby trust fund as is required when a surety bond is used to provide such financial assurance;

Now, Therefore, the conditions of the obligation are such that if the Principal shall faithfully, before the beginning of final closure of each facility identified above, fund the standby trust fund in the amount(s) identified above for the facility,

Or, if the Principal shall satisfy all the conditions established for exclusion of hazardous secondary materials from coverage as waste under paragraph (A)(24) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code,

Or, if the Principal shall fund the standby trust fund in such amount(s) within fifteen days after a final order to begin closure is issued by a director or a U.S. district court or other court of competent jurisdiction,

Or, if the Principal shall provide alternate financial assurance, as specified in rules 3745-51-140 to 3745-51-151 of the Administrative Code, as applicable, and obtain the director's written approval of such assurance, within ninety days after the date notice of cancellation is received by both the Principal and the directors from the Surety(ies), then this obligation shall be null and void; otherwise the financial assurance is to remain in full force and effect.

The Surety(ies) shall become liable on this bond obligation only when the Principal has failed to fulfill the conditions described above. Upon notification by a director that the Principal has failed to perform as guaranteed by this bond, the Surety(ies) shall place funds in the amount guaranteed for the facility(ies) into the standby trust fund as directed by the director.

The liability of the Surety(ies) shall not be discharged by any payment or succession of payments hereunder, unless and until such payment or payments shall amount in the aggregate to the penal sum of the bond, but in no event shall the obligation of the Surety(ies) hereunder exceed the amount of said penal sum.

The Surety(ies) may cancel the bond by sending notice of cancellation by certified mail to the Principal and to the director(s) for the U.S. EPA Region(s) in which the facility(ies) is (are) located, provided, however, that cancellation shall not occur during the one hundred twenty days beginning on the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by both the Principal and the director(s), as evidenced by the return receipts.

The Principal may terminate this bond by sending written notice to the Surety(ies), provided, however, that no such notice shall become effective until the Surety(ies) receive(s) written authorization for termination of the bond by the director(s) of the U.S. EPA Region(s) in which the bonded facility(ies) is (are) located.

[The following paragraph is an optional rider that may be included but is not required.]

Principal and Surety(ies) hereby agree to adjust the penal sum of the bond yearly so that it guarantees a new amount, provided that the penal sum does not increase by more than twenty per cent in any one year, and no decrease in the penal sum takes place without the written permission of the director(s).

In Witness Whereof, the Principal and Surety(ies) have executed this Financial Guarantee Bond and have affixed their seals on the date set forth above.

"Standby Trust Agreement

Trust Agreement, the "Agreement," entered into as of [date] by and between [name of the owner or operator] a [name of a state] [insert "corporation," "partnership," "association," or "proprietorship"], the "Grantor," and [name of corporate trustee], [insert, "incorporated in the state of ----------------" or "a national bank"], the "trustee."

Whereas the United States Environmental Protection Agency, "U.S. EPA," an agency of the United States government, has established certain rules applicable to the Grantor, requiring that an owner or operator shall demonstrate financial responsibility for bodily injury and property damage to third parties caused by sudden accidental or non-sudden accidental occurrences arising from operations of the facility or group of facilities.

Whereas, the Grantor has elected to establish a standby trust into which the proceeds from a letter of credit may be deposited to assure all or part of such financial responsibility for the facilities identified herein.

Whereas, the Grantor, acting through its duly authorized officers, has selected the Trustee to be the trustee under this agreement, and the Trustee is willing to act as trustee.

Now, therefore, the Grantor and the Trustee agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(a) The term Grantor means the owner or operator who enters into this Agreement and any successors or assigns of the Grantor.

(b) The term Trustee means the Trustee who enters into this Agreement and any successor Trustee.

Section 2. Identification of Facilities. This Agreement pertains to the facilities identified on attached schedule A [on schedule A, for each facility list the U.S. EPA identification number (if any issued), name, and address of the facility(ies) and the amount of liability coverage, or portions thereof, if more than one instrument affords combined coverage as demonstrated by this Agreement].

Section 3. Establishment of Fund. The Grantor and the Trustee hereby establish a standby trust fund, hereafter the "Fund," for the benefit of any and all third parties injured or damaged by [sudden or non-sudden] accidental occurrences arising from operation of the facility(ies) covered by this guarantee, in the amounts of ---------[up to $1 million] per occurrence and ---------[up to $2 million] annual aggregate for sudden accidental occurrences and ---------[up to $3 million] per occurrence and ---------[up to $6 million] annual aggregate for non-sudden occurrences, except that the Fund is not established for the benefit of third parties for the following:

This exclusion does not apply to liability for damages that [insert Grantor] would be obligated to pay in the absence of the contract or agreement.

(b) Any obligation of [insert Grantor] under a workers' compensation, disability benefits, or unemployment compensation law or any similar law.

(c) Bodily injury to:

(1) An employee of [insert Grantor] arising from, and in the course of, employment by [insert Grantor]; or

(2) The spouse, child, parent, brother or sister of that employee as a consequence of, or arising from, and in the course of employment by [insert Grantor]. This exclusion applies:

In the event of combination with another mechanism for liability coverage, the Fund shall be considered [insert "primary" or "excess"] coverage.

The Fund is established initially as consisting of the proceeds of the letter of credit deposited into the Fund. Such proceeds and any other property subsequently transferred to the Trustee is referred to as the Fund, together with all earnings and profits thereon, less any payments or distributions made by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. The Fund shall be held by the Trustee, IN TRUST, as hereinafter provided. The Trustee shall not be responsible nor shall the Trustee undertake any responsibility for the amount or adequacy of, nor any duty to collect from the Grantor, any payments necessary to discharge any liabilities of the Grantor established by U.S. EPA.

Section 4. Payment for Bodily Injury or Property Damage. The Trustee shall satisfy a third party liability claim by drawing on the letter of credit described in Schedule B and by making payments from the Fund only upon receipt of one of the following documents:

(a) Certification from the Grantor and the third party claimant(s) that the liability claim should be paid. The certification shall be worded as follows, except that instructions in brackets are to be replaced with the relevant information and the brackets deleted:

(C) Compatibility of hazardous secondary materials with containers. The container shall be made of or lined with materials which will not react with, and are otherwise compatible with, the hazardous secondary material to be stored, so that the ability of the container to contain the material is not impaired.

(a) A base shall underlie the containers which is free of cracks or gaps and is sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills, and accumulated precipitation until the collected material is detected and removed;

(b) The base shall be sloped or the containment system shall be otherwise designed and operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks, spills, or precipitation, unless the containers are elevated or are otherwise protected from contact with accumulated liquids;

(c) The containment system shall have sufficient capacity to contain ten per cent of the volume of containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater;

(d) Run-on into the containment system shall be prevented unless the collection system has sufficient excess capacity in addition to that required in paragraph (E)(2)(c) of this rule to contain any run-on which might enter the system; and

(e) Spilled or leaked material and accumulated precipitation shall be removed from the sump or collection area in as timely a manner as is necessary to prevent overflow of the collection system.

Rule 3745-51-420 | Contingency planning and emergency procedures for facilities generating or accumulating more than six thousand kilograms of hazardous secondary material.
 

A generator or an intermediate or reclamation facility operating under a verified recycler variance under paragraph (D) of rule 3745-50-24 of the Administrative Code that generates or accumulates more than six thousand kilograms of hazardous secondary material shall comply with the following requirements:

(A) Purpose and implementation of contingency plan.

(1) Each generator or an intermediate or reclamation facility operating under a verified recycler variance under paragraph (D) of rule 3745-50-24 of the Administrative Code that accumulates more than six thousand kilograms of hazardous secondary material shall have a contingency plan for the facility. The contingency plan shall be designed to minimize hazards to human health or the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous secondary material or hazardous secondary material constituents to air, soil, or surface water.

(2) The provisions of the contingency plan shall be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous secondary material or hazardous secondary material constituents which could threaten human health or the environment.

(B) Content of contingency plan.

(1) The contingency plan shall describe the actions facility personnel shall take to comply with paragraphs (A) and (F) of this rule in response to fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous secondary material or hazardous secondary material constituents to air, soil, or surface water at the facility.

(2) If the generator or an intermediate facility or reclamation facility operating under a verified recycler variance under paragraph (D) of rule 3745-50-24 of the Administrative Code accumulating more than six thousand kilograms of hazardous secondary material has already prepared a "Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan" in accordance with 40 CFR Part 112 , or some other emergency plan or contingency plan, that plan need only be amended to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are sufficient to comply with the requirements of Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code. The hazardous secondary material generator or an intermediate facility or reclamation facility operating under a verified recycler variance under paragraph (D) of rule 3745-50-24 of the Administrative Code may develop one contingency plan which meets all regulatory requirements. Ohio EPA recommends that the plan be based on the "National Response Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance ("One Plan")." When modifications are made to non-Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (non-RCRA) provisions in an integrated contingency plan, the changes do not trigger the need for a hazardous waste management permit modification.

(3) The contingency plan shall describe arrangements agreed to by local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, contractors, and state and local emergency response teams to coordinate emergency services, pursuant to paragraph (F) of rule 3745-51-410 of the Administrative Code.

(4) The contingency plan shall list names, addresses, and telephone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator [see paragraph (E) of this rule], and this list shall be kept up to date. Where more than one person is listed, one shall be named as primary emergency coordinator and others shall be listed in the order in which to assume responsibility as alternates.

(5) The contingency plan shall include a list of all emergency equipment at the facility [such as fire extinguishing systems, spill control equipment, communications and alarm systems (internal and external), and decontamination equipment], where this equipment is required. This list shall be kept up to date. In addition, the contingency plan shall include the location and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief outline of the capabilities of each item on the list.

(6) The contingency plan shall include an evacuation plan for facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This evacuation plan shall describe signals to be used to begin evacuation, evacuation routes, and alternate evacuation routes (in cases where the primary routes could be blocked by releases of hazardous waste or fires).

(C) Copies of contingency plan. A copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to the contingency plan shall be:

(1) Maintained at the facility; and

(2) Submitted to all local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, and state and local emergency response teams that may be called upon to provide emergency services.

(D) Amendment of contingency plan. The contingency plan shall be reviewed, and immediately amended, if necessary, whenever:

(1) Applicable regulations are revised;

(2) The contingency plan fails in an emergency;

(3) The facility changes in design, construction, operation, maintenance, or other circumstances in a way that materially increases the potential for fires, explosions, or releases of hazardous secondary material or hazardous secondary material constituents, or changes the response necessary in an emergency;

(4) The list of emergency coordinators changes; or

(5) The list of emergency equipment changes.

(E) Emergency coordinator. At all times, there shall be at least one employee either on the facility premises or on call (i.e., available to respond to an emergency by reaching the facility within a short period of time) with the responsibility for coordinating all emergency response measures. This emergency coordinator shall be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the facility's contingency plan, all operations and activities at the facility, the location and characteristics of waste handled, the location of all records within the facility, and the facility layout. In addition, this person shall have the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the contingency plan. The emergency coordinator's responsibilities are more fully spelled out in paragraph (F) of this rule. Applicable responsibilities for the emergency coordinator vary, depending on factors such as type and variety of hazardous secondary materials handled by the facility, and type and complexity of the facility.

(F) Emergency procedures.

(1) Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the emergency coordinator (or the emergency coordinator's designee when the emergency coordinator is on call) shall immediately:

(1) Monitoring shall comply with reference method 21 in 40 CFR Part 60.

(2) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of reference method 21.

(3) The instrument shall be calibrated before use on each day of the instrument's use by the procedures specified in reference method 21.

(b) A mixture of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of approximately, but less than, ten thousand ppm methane or n-hexane.

(5) The background level shall be determined as provided in reference method 21.

(6) The instrument probe shall be traversed around all potential leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as described in reference method 21.

(7) The arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration indicated by the instrument and the background level is compared with five hundred ppm for determining compliance.

(1) Performance tests to determine total organic compound concentrations and mass flow rates entering and exiting control devices shall be conducted and data reduced in accordance with the following reference methods and calculation procedures:

(a) Method 2 in 40 CFR Part 60 for velocity and volumetric flow rate.

(b) Method 18 or method 25A in 40 CFR Part 60, appendix A, for organic content. If method 25A is used, the organic hazardous air pollutants (HAP) used as the calibration gas shall be the single organic HAP representing the largest per cent by volume of the emissions. The use of method 25A is acceptable if the response from the high-level calibration gas is at least twenty times the standard deviation of the response from the zero calibration gas when the instrument is zeroed on the most sensitive scale.

(c) Each performance test shall consist of three separate runs; each run conducted for at least one hour under the conditions that exist when the hazardous secondary material management unit is operating at the highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur. For the purpose of determining total organic compound concentrations and mass flow rates, the average of results of all runs shall apply. The average shall be computed on a time-weighted basis.

(d) Total organic mass flow rates shall be determined by the following equation:

(i) For sources utilizing method 18.

Where:

Eh = Total organic mass flow rate, kilograms per hour (kg/h);

Q2sd = Volumetric flow rate of gases entering or exiting control device, as determined by method 2, standard cubic meter of dry gas per hour (dscm/h);

n = Number of organic compounds in the vent gas;

Ci = Organic concentration in ppm, dry basis, of compound i in the vent gas, as determined by method 18;

MWi = Molecular weight of organic compound i in the vent gas, kilogram per kilogram mole (kg/kg-mol);

0.0416 = Conversion factor for molar volume, kilogram mole per cubic meter (kg-mol/m3) [at two hundred ninety-three Kelvin and seven hundred sixty milligrams of mercury (mm Hg)];

10-6 = Conversion from ppm.

(ii) For sources utilizing method 25A.

Eh = (Q)(C)(MW)(0.0416)(10-6)

Where:

Eh = Total organic mass flow rate, kg/h;

Q = Volumetric flow rate of gases entering or exiting control device, as determined by method 2, dscm/h;

C = Organic concentration in ppm, dry basis, as determined by method 25A;

MW = Molecular weight of propane, 44;

0.0416 = Conversion factor for molar volume, kg-mol/m3 [at two hundred ninety-three Kelvin and seven hundred sixty mm Hg];

10-6 = Conversion from ppm.

(e) The annual total organic emission rate shall be determined by the following equation:

EA = (Eh)(H)

Where:

EA = Total organic mass emission rate, kilograms per year (kg/y);

Eh = Total organic mass flow rate for the process vent, kg/h;

H = Total annual hours of operations for the affected unit, h.

(f) Total organic emissions from all affected process vents at the facility shall be determined by summing the hourly total organic mass emission rates [Eh, as determined in paragraph (C)(1)(d) of this rule] and by summing the annual total organic mass emission rates [EA, as determined in paragraph (C)(1)(e) of this rule] for all affected process vents at the facility.

(2) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall record such process information as may be necessary to determine the conditions of the performance tests. Operations during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction shall not constitute representative conditions for the purpose of a performance test.

(3) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material at an affected facility shall provide, or cause to be provided, performance testing facilities as follows:

(a) Sampling ports adequate for the test methods specified in paragraph (C)(1) of this rule.

(b) Safe sampling platforms.

(c) Safe access to sampling platforms.

(d) Utilities for sampling and testing equipment.

(4) For the purpose of making compliance determinations, the time-weighted average of the results of the three runs shall apply. In the event that a sample is accidentally lost or conditions occur in which one of the three runs shall be discontinued because of forced shutdown, failure of an irreplaceable portion of the sample train, extreme meteorological conditions, or other circumstances beyond the remanufacturer's or other person's that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material control, compliance may, upon the director's approval, be determined using the average of the results of the two other runs.

(D) To show that a process vent associated with a hazardous secondary material distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operation is not subject to the requirements of rules 3745-51-730 to 3745-51-735 of the Administrative Code, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall make an initial determination that the time-weighted, annual average total organic concentration of the material managed by the hazardous secondary material management unit is less than ten parts per million by weight (ppmw) using one of the following two methods:

(1) Direct measurement of the organic concentration of the material using the following procedures:

(a) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall take a minimum of four grab samples of material for each material stream managed in the affected unit under process conditions expected to cause the maximum material organic concentration.

(b) For material generated on-site, the grab samples shall be collected at a point before the material is exposed to the atmosphere such as in an enclosed pipe or other closed system that is used to transfer the material after generation to the first affected distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operation. For material generated offsite, the grab samples shall be collected at the inlet to the first material management unit that receives the material provided the material has been transferred to the facility in a closed system such as a tank truck and the material is not diluted or mixed with other material.

(c) Each sample shall be analyzed and the total organic concentration of the sample shall be computed using method 9060A of "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," U.S. EPA Publication SW-846, or analyzed for the sample's individual organic constituents.

(d) The arithmetic mean of the results of the analyses of the four samples shall apply for each material stream managed in the unit in determining the time-weighted, annual average total organic concentration of the material. The time-weighted average is to be calculated using the annual quantity of each material stream processed and the mean organic concentration of each material stream managed in the unit.

(2) Using knowledge of the material to determine that the materials total organic concentration is less than ten ppmw. Documentation of the material determination is required. Examples of documentation that shall be used to support a determination under this provision include production process information documenting that no organic compounds are used, information that the material is generated by a process that is identical to a process at the same or another facility that has previously been demonstrated by direct measurement to generate a material stream having a total organic content less than ten ppmw, or prior speciation analysis results on the same material stream where it also can be documented that no process changes have occurred since that analysis that could affect the material total organic concentration.

(E) The determination that distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operations manage hazardous secondary materials with time-weighted, annual average total organic concentrations less than ten ppmw shall be made as follows:

(1) By the effective date that the facility becomes subject to rules 3745-51-730 to 3745-51-735 of the Administrative Code or by the date when the material is first managed in a hazardous secondary material management unit, whichever is later; and

(2) For continuously generated material, annually; or

(3) Whenever there is a change in the material being managed or a change in the process that generates or treats the material.

(F) When a remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material and the director do not agree on whether a distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operation manages a hazardous secondary material with organic concentrations of at least ten ppmw based on knowledge of the material, the dispute may be resolved by using direct measurement as specified at paragraph (D)(1) of this rule.

Rule 3745-51-783 | Material determination procedures - tanks and containers.
 

(A) Material determination procedure to determine average volatile organic (VO) concentration of a hazardous secondary material at the point of material origination.

(1) Determining average VO concentration at the point of material origination. A remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall determine the average VO concentration at the point of material origination for each hazardous secondary material placed in a hazardous secondary material management unit exempted under paragraph (C)(1) of rule 3745-51-782 of the Administrative Code from using air emission controls in accordance with standards specified in rules 3745-51-784 to 3745-51-787 of the Administrative Code, as applicable to the hazardous secondary material management unit.

(a) An initial determination of the average VO concentration of the material stream shall be made before the first time any portion of the material in the hazardous secondary material stream is placed in a hazardous secondary material management unit exempted under paragraph (C)(1) of rule 3745-51-782 of the Administrative Code from using air emission controls, and thereafter an initial determination of the average VO concentration of the material stream shall be made for each averaging period that a hazardous secondary material is managed in the unit; and

(b) Perform a new material determination whenever changes to the source generating the material stream are reasonably likely to cause the average VO concentration of the hazardous secondary material to increase to a level that is equal to or greater than the applicable VO concentration limits specified in rule 3745-51-782 of the Administrative Code.

(2) Determination of average VO concentration using direct measurement or knowledge. For a material determination that is required by paragraph (A)(1) of this rule, the average VO concentration of a hazardous secondary material at the point of material origination shall be determined using either direct measurement as specified in paragraph (A)(3) of this rule or by knowledge as specified in paragraph (A)(4) of this rule.

(3) Direct measurement to determine average VO concentration of a hazardous secondary material at the point of material origination.

(a) Identification. The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall identify and record in a log that is kept at the facility the point of material origination for the hazardous secondary material.

(b) Sampling. Samples of the hazardous secondary material stream shall be collected at the point of material origination in a manner such that volatilization of organics contained in the material and in the subsequent sample is minimized and an adequately representative sample is collected and maintained for analysis by the selected method.

(i) The averaging period to be used for determining the average VO concentration for the hazardous secondary material stream on a mass-weighted average basis shall be designated and recorded. The averaging period can represent any time interval that the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material determines is appropriate for the hazardous secondary material stream but shall not exceed one year.

(ii) A sufficient number of samples, but no less than four samples, shall be collected and analyzed for a hazardous secondary material determination. All of the samples for a given material determination shall be collected within a one-hour period. The average of the four or more sample results constitutes a material determination for the material stream. One or more material determinations may be required to represent the complete range of material compositions and quantities that occur during the entire averaging period due to normal variations in the operating conditions for the source or process generating the hazardous secondary material stream. Examples of such normal variations are seasonal variations in material quantity or fluctuations in ambient temperature.

(iii) All samples shall be collected and handled in accordance with written procedures prepared by the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material and documented in a site sampling plan. This site sampling plan shall describe the procedure by which representative samples of the hazardous secondary material stream are collected such that a minimum loss of organics occurs throughout the sample collection and handling process, and by which sample integrity is maintained. A copy of the written sampling plan shall be maintained at the facility. An example of acceptable sample collection and handling procedures for a total volatile organic constituent concentration may be found in method 25D in 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A.

(iv) Sufficient information, as specified in the "site sampling plan" required under paragraph (A)(3)(b)(iii) of this rule, shall be prepared and recorded to document the material quantity represented by the samples and, as applicable, the operating conditions for the source or process generating the hazardous secondary material represented by the samples.

(c) Analysis. Each collected sample shall be prepared and analyzed in accordance with method 25D in 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A for the total concentration of volatile organic constituents, or using one or more methods when the individual organic compound concentrations are identified and summed and the summed material concentration accounts for and reflects all organic compounds in the material with Henry's law constant values at least 0.1 mole-fraction-in-the-gas-phase/mole-fraction-in-the-liquid-phase (0.1 Y/X) [which can also be expressed as 1.8 x 10-6 atmospheres/gram-mole/m3] at twenty-five degrees Celsius. At the discretion of the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material, the test data obtained may be adjusted by any appropriate method to discount any contribution to the total volatile organic concentration that is a result of including a compound with a Henry's law constant value of less than 0.1 Y/X at twenty-five degrees Celsius. To adjust these data, the measured concentration of each individual chemical constituent contained in the material is multiplied by the appropriate constituent-specific adjustment factor (fm25D). If the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material elects to adjust the test data, the adjustment shall be made to all individual chemical constituents with a Henry's law constant value greater than or equal to 0.1 Y/X at twenty-five degrees Celsius contained in the material. Constituent-specific adjustment factors (fm25D) can be obtained by contacting the "Waste and Chemical Processes Group, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Research Triangle Park, NC" 27711. Other test methods may be used if those test methods meet the requirements in paragraph (A)(3)(c)(i) or (A)(3)(c)(ii) of this rule and provided the requirement to reflect all organic compounds in the material with Henry's law constant values greater than or equal to 0.1 Y/X [which can also be expressed as 1.8 x 10-6 atmospheres/gram-mole/m3] at twenty-five degrees Celsius, is met.

(i) Any U.S. EPA standard method that has been validated in accordance with "Alternative Validation Procedure for EPA Waste and Wastewater Methods," 40 CFR Part 63 appendix D.

(ii) Any other analysis method that has been validated in accordance with the procedures specified in section 5.1 or section 5.3, and the corresponding calculations in section 6.1 or section 6.3, of method 301 in 40 CFR Part 63 appendix A. The data are acceptable if the data meet the criteria specified in section 6.1.5 or section 6.3.3 of method 301. If correction is required under section 6.3.3 of method 301, the data are acceptable if the correction factor is within the range 0.7 to 1.30. Other sections of method 301 are not required.

(d) Calculations.

(i) The average VO concentration (C) on a mass-weighted basis shall be calculated by using the results for all material determinations conducted in accordance with paragraphs (A)(3)(b) to (A)(3)(c) of this rule and the following equation:

Where:

C = Average VO concentration of the hazardous secondary material at the point of material origination on a mass-weighted basis, parts per million by weight (ppmw).

i = Individual material determination "I" of the hazardous secondary material.

n = Total number of material determinations of the hazardous secondary material conducted for the averaging period (not to exceed one year).

Qi = Mass quantity of hazardous secondary material stream represented by Ci, kilograms per hour (kg/hr).

QT = Total mass quantity of hazardous secondary material during the averaging period, kg/hr.

Ci = Measured VO concentration of material determination

"I" as determined in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (A)(3)(c) of this rule [i.e. the average of the four or more samples specified in paragraph (A)(3)(b)(ii) of this rule], parts per million by weight (ppmw).

(ii) For the purpose of determining Ci, for individual material samples analyzed in accordance with paragraph (A)(3)(c) of this rule, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall account for VO concentrations determined to be below the limit of detection of the analytical method by using the following VO concentration:

(a) If method 25D in 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A is used for the analysis, one-half the blank value determined in the method at section 4.4 of method 25D in 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A.

(b) If any other analytical method is used, one-half the sum of the limits of detection established for each organic constituent in the material that has a Henry's law constant values at least 0.1 mole-fraction-in-the-gas-phase/mole-fraction-in-the-liquid-phase (0.1 Y/X) [which can also be expressed as 1.8 x 10-6 atmospheres/gram-mole/m3] at twenty-five degrees Celsius.

(4) Use of knowledge by the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material to determine average VO concentration of a hazardous secondary material at the point of material origination.

(a) Documentation shall be prepared that presents the information used as the basis for the knowledge by the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material of the hazardous secondary material stream's average VO concentration. Examples of information that may be used as the basis for knowledge include material balances for the source or process generating the hazardous secondary material stream, constituent-specific chemical test data for the hazardous secondary material stream from previous testing that are still applicable to the current material stream, previous test data for other locations managing the same type of material stream, or other knowledge based on information included in shipping papers or material certification notices.

(b) If test data are used as the basis for knowledge, then the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall document the test method, sampling protocol, and the means by which sampling variability and analytical variability are accounted for in the determination of the average VO concentration. For example, a remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material may use organic concentration test data for the hazardous secondary material stream that are validated in accordance with method 301 in 40 CFR Part 63 appendix A as the basis for knowledge of the material.

(c) A remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material using chemical constituent-specific concentration test data as the basis for knowledge of the hazardous secondary material may adjust the test data to the corresponding average VO concentration value which would have been obtained had the material samples been analyzed using method 25D in 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A. To adjust these data, the measured concentration for each individual chemical constituent contained in the material is multiplied by the appropriate constituent-specific adjustment factor (fm25D).

(d) In the event that the director and the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material disagree on a determination of the average VO concentration for a hazardous secondary material stream using knowledge, then the results from a determination of average VO concentration using direct measurement as specified in paragraph (A)(3) of this rule shall be used to establish compliance with the applicable requirements of rules 3745-51-780 to 3745-51-789 of the Administrative Code. The director may perform or request that the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material perform this determination using direct measurement. The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material may choose one or more appropriate methods to analyze each collected sample in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (A)(3)(c) of this rule.

(B) [Reserved.]

(C) Procedure to determine the maximum organic vapor pressure of a hazardous secondary material in a tank.

(1) A remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall determine the maximum organic vapor pressure for each hazardous secondary material placed in a tank using "Tank Level 1" controls in accordance with standards specified in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-51-784 of the Administrative Code.

(2) A remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall use either direct measurement as specified in paragraph (C)(3) of this rule or knowledge of the waste as specified by paragraph (C)(4) of this rule to determine the maximum organic vapor pressure which is representative of the hazardous secondary material composition stored or treated in the tank.

(3) Direct measurement to determine the maximum organic vapor pressure of a hazardous secondary material.

(a) Sampling. A sufficient number of samples shall be collected to be representative of the hazardous secondary material contained in the tank. All samples shall be collected and handled in accordance with written procedures prepared by the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material and documented in a site sampling plan. This site sampling plan shall describe the procedure by which representative samples of the hazardous secondary material are collected such that a minimum loss of organics occurs throughout the sample collection and handling process and by which sample integrity is maintained. A copy of the written site sampling plan shall be maintained at the facility. An example of acceptable sample collection and handling procedures is in method 25D in 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A.

(b) Analysis. Any appropriate one of the following methods may be used to analyze the samples and compute the maximum organic vapor pressure of the hazardous secondary material:

(i) Method 25E in 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A;

(ii) Methods described in "American Petroleum Institute Publication 2517, Third Edition, February 1989," "Evaporative Loss from External Floating-Roof Tanks," (incorporated by reference- see rule 3745-50-11 of the Administrative Code);

(iii) Methods obtained from standard reference texts;

(iv) ASTM method D2879-92 (incorporated by reference-see rule 3745-50-11 of the Administrative Code); and

(v) Any other method approved by the director.

(4) Use of knowledge to determine the maximum organic vapor pressure of the hazardous secondary material. Documentation shall be prepared and recorded that presents the information used as the basis for the knowledge by the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material that the maximum organic vapor pressure of the hazardous secondary material is less than the maximum vapor pressure limit listed in paragraph (B)(1)(a) of rule 3745-51-785 of the Administrative Code for the applicable tank design capacity category. An example of information that may be used is documentation that the hazardous secondary material is generated by a process for which at other locations it previously has been determined by direct measurement that the hazardous secondary material's waste maximum organic vapor pressure is less than the maximum vapor pressure limit for the appropriate tank design capacity category.

(D) Procedure for determining no detectable organic emissions for the purpose of complying with rules 3745-51-780 to 3745-51-789 of the Administrative Code.

(1) The test shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures specified in method 21 of 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A. Each potential leak interface (i.e., a location where organic vapor leakage could occur) on the cover and associated closure devices shall be checked. Potential leak interfaces that are associated with covers and closure devices include, but are not limited to, the interface of the cover and the cover's foundation mounting, the periphery of any opening on the cover and associated closure device, and the sealing seat interface on a spring-loaded pressure relief valve.

(2) The test shall be performed when the unit contains a hazardous secondary material having an organic concentration representative of the range of concentrations for the hazardous secondary material expected to be managed in the unit. During the test, the cover and closure devices shall be secured in the closed position.

(3) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of method 21 of 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A, except the instrument response factor criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of method 21 shall be for the average composition of the organic constituents in the hazardous secondary material placed in the hazardous secondary management unit, not for each individual organic constituent.

(4) The detection instrument shall be calibrated before use on each day of use by the procedures specified in method 21 of 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A.

(5) Calibration gases shall be as follows:

(a) Zero air (less than ten parts per million by volume (ppmv) hydrocarbon in air), and

(b) A mixture of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of approximately, but less than, ten thousand parts per million by volume (ppmv) methane or n-hexane.

(6) The background level shall be determined according to the procedures in method 21 of 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A.

(7) Each potential leak interface shall be checked by traversing the instrument probe around the potential leak interface as close to the interface as possible, as described in method 21 of 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A. In the case when the configuration of the cover or closure device prevents a complete traverse of the interface, all accessible portions of the interface shall be sampled. In the case when the configuration of the closure device prevents any sampling at the interface and the device is equipped with an enclosed extension or horn (e.g., some pressure relief devices), the instrument probe inlet shall be placed at approximately the center of the exhaust area to the atmosphere.

(8) The arithmetic difference between the maximum organic concentration indicated by the instrument and the background level shall be compared with the value of five hundred parts per million by volume (ppmv) except when monitoring a seal around a rotating shaft that passes through a cover opening, in which case the comparison shall be as specified in paragraph (D)(9) of this rule. If the difference is less than five hundred parts per million by volume (ppmv), then the potential leak interface is determined to operate with no detectable organic emissions.

(9) For the seals around a rotating shaft that passes through a cover opening, the arithmetic difference between the maximum organic concentration indicated by the instrument and the background level shall be compared with the value of ten thousand ppmw. If the difference is less than ten thousand ppmw, then the potential leak interface is determined to operate with no detectable organic emissions.

Rule 3745-51-784 | Tanks - air emission standards for tanks and containers.
 

(A) This rule applies to the control of air pollutant emissions from tanks for which paragraph (B) of rule 3745-51-782 of the Administrative Code references the use of this rule for such air emission control.

(B) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from each tank subject to this rule in accordance with the following requirements as applicable:

(1) For a tank that manages hazardous secondary material that meets all of the conditions specified in paragraphs (B)(1)(a) to (B)(1)(c) of this rule, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from the tank in accordance with the "Tank Level 1" controls specified in paragraph (C) of this rule or the "Tank Level 2" controls specified in paragraph (D) of this rule.

(a) The hazardous secondary material in the tank has a maximum organic vapor pressure which is less than the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank's design capacity category as follows:

(i) For a tank design capacity equal to or greater than one hundred fifty-one cubic meters (m3), the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank is 5.2 kilopascals (kPa).

(ii) For a tank design capacity equal to or greater than seventy-five m3 but less than one hundred fifty-one m3, the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank is 27.6 kPa.

(iii) For a tank design capacity less than seventy-five m3, the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank is 76.6 kPa.

(b) The hazardous secondary material in the tank is not heated by the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material to a temperature that is greater than the temperature at which the maximum organic vapor pressure of the hazardous secondary material is determined for the purpose of complying with paragraph (B)(1)(a) of this rule.

(2) For a tank that manages hazardous secondary material that does not meet all of the conditions specified in paragraphs (B)(1)(a) to (B)(1)(c) of this rule, the remanufacturer or other person stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from the tank by using "Tank Level 2" controls in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (D) of this rule. An example of tanks required to use "Tank Level 2" controls is a tank for which the hazardous secondary material in the tank has a maximum organic vapor pressure that is equal to or greater than the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank's design capacity category as specified in paragraph (B)(1)(a) of this rule.

(C) Remanufacturers or other persons who store or treats the hazardous secondary material controlling air pollutant emissions from a tank using "Tank Level 1" controls shall meet the requirements specified in paragraphs (C)(1) to (C)(4) of this rule:

(1) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats that hazardous secondary material shall determine the maximum organic vapor pressure for a hazardous secondary material to be managed in the tank using "Tank Level 1" controls before the first time the hazardous secondary material is placed in the tank. The maximum organic vapor pressure shall be determined using the procedures specified in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-51-783 of the Administrative Code. Thereafter, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall perform a new determination whenever changes to the hazardous secondary material managed in the tank could potentially cause the maximum organic vapor pressure to increase to a level that is equal to or greater than the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank design capacity category specified in paragraph (B)(1)(a) of this rule, as applicable to the tank.

(2) The tank shall be equipped with a fixed roof designed to meet the following specifications:

(a) The fixed roof and the fixed roofs closure devices shall be designed to form a continuous barrier over the entire surface area of the hazardous secondary material in the tank. The fixed roof may be a separate cover installed on the tank (e.g., a removable cover mounted on an open-top tank) or may be an integral part of the tank structural design (e.g., a horizontal cylindrical tank equipped with a hatch).

(b) The fixed roof shall be installed in a manner such that there are no visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces between roof section joints or between the interface of the roof edge and the tank wall.

(c) Each opening in the fixed roof, and any manifold system associated with the fixed roof, shall be either:

(i) Equipped with a closure device designed to operate such that when the closure device is secured in the closed position there are no visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces in the closure device or between the perimeter of the opening and the closure device; or

(ii) Connected by a closed-vent system that is vented to a control device. The control device shall remove or destroy organics in the vent stream, and shall be operating whenever hazardous secondary material is managed in the tank, except as provided for in paragraphs (C)(2)(c)(ii)(1) to (C)(2)(c)(ii)(2) of this rule.

(a) During periods when it is necessary to provide access to the tank for performing the activities of paragraph (C)(2)(c)(ii)(2) of this rule, venting of the vapor headspace underneath the fixed roof to the control device is not required, opening of closure devices is allowed, and removal of the fixed roof is allowed. After completion of the activity, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall promptly secure the closure device in the closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable, and resume operation of the control device.

(b) During periods of routine inspection, maintenance, or other activities needed for normal operations, and for removal of accumulated sludge or other residues from the bottom of the tank.

(d) The fixed roof and the fixed roof's closure devices shall be made of suitable materials that will minimize exposure of the hazardous secondary material to the atmosphere, to the extent practical, and will maintain the integrity of the fixed roof and closure devices throughout their intended service life. Factors to be considered when selecting the materials for and designing the fixed roof and closure devices shall include organic vapor permeability, the effects of any contact with the hazardous secondary material or its vapors managed in the tank; the effects of outdoor exposure to wind, moisture, and sunlight; and the operating practices used for the tank on which the fixed roof is installed.

(3) Whenever a hazardous secondary material is in the tank, the fixed roof shall be installed with each closure device secured in the closed position except as follows:

(a) Opening of closure devices or removal of the fixed roof is allowed at the following times:

(i) To provide access to the tank for performing routine inspection, maintenance, or other activities needed for normal operations. Examples of such activities include those times when a worker needs to open a port to sample the liquid in the tank, or when a worker needs to open a hatch to maintain or repair equipment. After completion of the activity, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall promptly secure the closure device in the closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable, to the tank.

(ii) To remove accumulated sludge or other residues from the bottom of tank.

(b) Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve, conservation vent, or similar type of pressure relief device which vents to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for the purpose of maintaining the tank internal pressure in accordance with the tank design specifications. The device shall be designed to operate with no detectable organic emissions when the device is secured in the closed position. The settings at which the device opens shall be established such that the device remains in the closed position whenever the tank internal pressure is within the internal pressure operating range determined by the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material based on the tank manufacturer recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements for the safe handling of flammable, ignitable, explosive, reactive, or hazardous materials. Examples of normal operating conditions that may require these devices to open are during those times when the tank internal pressure exceeds the internal pressure operating range for the tank as a result of loading operations or diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations.

(c) Opening of a "safety device," as defined in rule 3745-51-781 of the Administrative Code, is allowed at any time conditions require doing so to avoid an unsafe condition.

(4) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall inspect the air emission control equipment in accordance with the following requirements

(a) The fixed roof and the fixed roof's closure devices shall be visually inspected by the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material to check for defects that could result in air pollutant emissions. Defects include, but are not limited to, visible cracks, holes, or gaps in the roof sections or between the roof and the tank wall; broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged seals or gaskets on closure devices; and broken or missing hatches, access covers, caps, or other closure devices.

(b) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall perform an initial inspection of the fixed roof and the fixed roof's closure devices on or before the date that the tank becomes subject to this rule. Thereafter, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall perform the inspections at least once every year except under the special conditions provided for in paragraph (L) of this rule.

(c) In the event that a defect is detected, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall repair the defect in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (K) of this rule.

(d) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall maintain a record of the inspection in accordance with the requirements specified in paragraph (B) of rule 3745-51-789 of the Administrative Code.

(A) Applicability. This rule applies to the control of air pollutant emissions from containers for which paragraph (B) of rule 3745-51-782 of the Administrative Code references the use of this rule for such air emission control.

(B) General requirements.

(1) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from each container subject to this rule in accordance with the following requirements, as applicable to the container.

(a) For a container having a design capacity greater than 0.1 m3 and less than or equal to 0.46 m3, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from the container in accordance with the "Container Level 1" standards specified in paragraph (C) of this rule.

(b) For a container having a design capacity greater than 0.46 m3 that is not in light material service, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from the container in accordance with the "Container Level 1" standards specified in paragraph (C) of this rule.

(c) For a container having a design capacity greater than 0.46 m3 that is in light material service, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from the container in accordance with the "Container Level 2" standards specified in paragraph (D) of this rule.

(2) [Reserved.]

(C) "Container Level 1" standards.

(1) A container using "Container Level 1" controls is one of the following:

(a) A container that meets the applicable U.S. department of transportation (DOT) regulations on packaging hazardous materials for transportation as specified in paragraph (F) of this rule.

(b) A container equipped with a cover and closure devices that form a continuous barrier over the container openings such that when the cover and closure devices are secured in the closed position there are no visible holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the interior of the container. The cover may be a separate cover installed on the container (e.g., a lid on a drum or a suitably secured tarp on a roll-off box) or may be an integral part of the container structural design (e.g., a "portable tank" or bulk cargo container equipped with a screw-type cap).

(c) An open-top container in which an organic-vapor suppressing barrier is placed on or over the hazardous secondary material in the container such that no hazardous secondary material is exposed to the atmosphere. One example of such a barrier is application of a suitable organic-vapor suppressing foam.

(2) A container used to meet the requirements of paragraph (C)(1)(b) or (C)(1)(c) of this rule shall be equipped with covers and closure devices, as applicable to the container, that are composed of suitable materials to minimize exposure of the hazardous secondary material to the atmosphere and to maintain the equipment integrity, for as long as the container is in service. Factors to be considered in selecting the materials of construction and designing the cover and closure devices shall include organic vapor permeability; the effects of contact with the hazardous secondary material or its vapor managed in the container; the effects of outdoor exposure of the closure device or cover material to wind, moisture, and sunlight; and the operating practices for which the container is intended to be used.

(3) Whenever a hazardous secondary material is in a container using "Container Level 1" controls, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall install all covers and closure devices for the container, as applicable to the container, and secure and maintain each closure device in the closed position except as follows:

(a) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose of adding hazardous secondary material or other material to the container as follows:

(i) In the case when the container is filled to the intended final level in one continuous operation, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall promptly secure the closure devices in the closed position and install the covers, as applicable to the container, upon conclusion of the filling operation.

(ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material intermittently are added to the container over a period of time, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall promptly secure the closure devices in the closed position and install covers, as applicable to the container, upon either the container being filled to the intended final level; the completion of a batch loading after which no additional material will be added to the container within fifteen minutes; the person performing the loading operation leaving the immediate vicinity of the container; or the shutdown of the process generating the hazardous secondary material being added to the container, whichever condition occurs first.

(b) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose of removing hazardous secondary material from the container as follows:

(i) For the purpose of meeting the requirements of this rule, an empty hazardous secondary material container may be open to the atmosphere at any time (i.e., covers and closure devices on such a container are not required to be secured in the closed position).

(ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material are removed from the container, but the container is not an empty hazardous secondary material container, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall promptly secure the closure devices in the closed position and install covers, as applicable to the container, upon the completion of a batch removal after which no additional material will be removed from the container within fifteen minutes or the person performing the unloading operation leaves the immediate vicinity of the container, whichever condition occurs first.

(c) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed when access inside the container is needed to perform routine activities other than transfer of hazardous secondary material. Examples of such activities include those times when a worker needs to open a port to measure the depth of or sample the material in the container, or when a worker needs to open a manhole hatch to access equipment inside the container. After completion of the activity, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall promptly secure the closure device in the closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable to the container.

(d) Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve, conservation vent, or similar type of pressure relief device which vents to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for the purpose of maintaining the internal pressure of the container in accordance with the container design specifications. The device shall be designed to operate with no detectable organic emissions when the device is secured in the closed position. The settings at which the device opens shall be established such that the device remains in the closed position whenever the internal pressure of the container is within the internal pressure operating range determined by the remanufacturer or other persons who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material based on container manufacturer recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements for the safe handling of flammable, ignitable, explosive, reactive, or hazardous materials. Examples of normal operating conditions that may require these devices to open are during those times when the internal pressure of the container exceeds the internal pressure operating range for the container as a result of loading operations or diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations.

(e) Opening of a "safety device," as defined in rule 3745-51-781 of the Administrative Code, is allowed at any time conditions require doing so to avoid an unsafe condition.

(4) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material using containers with "Container Level 1" controls shall inspect the containers and their covers and closure devices as follows:

(a) In the case when a hazardous secondary material already is in the container at the time the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material first accepts possession of the container at the facility and the container is not emptied within twenty-four hours after the container is accepted at the facility (i.e., is not an empty hazardous secondary material container) the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall visually inspect the container and the container's cover and closure devices to check for visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the interior of the container when the cover and closure devices are secured in the closed position. The container visual inspection shall be conducted on or before the date that the container is accepted at the facility (i.e., the date the container becomes subject to the container standards in rules 3745-51-780 to 3745-51-789 of the Administrative Code).

(b) In the case when a container used for managing hazardous secondary material remains at the facility for a period of one year or more, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall visually inspect the container and the container's cover and closure devices initially and thereafter, at least once every twelve months, to check for visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the interior of the container when the cover and closure devices are secured in the closed position. If a defect is detected, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall repair the defect in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (C)(4)(c) of this rule.

(c) When a defect is detected for the container, cover, or closure devices, the remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall make first efforts at repair of the defect no later than twenty-four hours after detection and repair shall be completed as soon as possible but no later than five calendar days after detection. If repair of a defect cannot be completed within five calendar days, then the hazardous secondary material shall be removed from the container and the container shall not be used to manage hazardous secondary material until the defect is repaired.

(5) The remanufacturer or other person who stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall maintain at the facility a copy of the procedure used to determine that containers with capacity of 0.46 m3 or greater, which do not meet applicable U.S. DOT regulations as specified in paragraph (F) of this rule, are not managing hazardous secondary material in light material service.

(2) The test shall be performed when the container is filled with a material having a volatile organic concentration representative of the range of volatile organic concentrations for the hazardous secondary materials expected to be managed in this type of container. During the test, the container cover and closure devices shall be secured in the closed position.

(H) Procedure for determining a container to be vapor-tight using method 27 of 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A for the purpose of complying with paragraph (D)(1)(c) of this rule.

(1) The test shall be performed in accordance with method 27 of 40 CFR Part 60 appendix A.

(2) A pressure measurement device shall be used that has a precision of plus or minus 2.5 millimeters (mm) water and that is capable of measuring above the pressure at which the container is to be tested for vapor tightness.

(3) If the test results determined by method 27 indicate that the container sustains a pressure change less than or equal to seven hundred fifty Pascals within five minutes after the container is pressurized to a minimum of four thousand five hundred Pascals, then the container is determined to be vapor-tight.
