Rule 3745-100-01 | Definitions.
[Comment: For dates of non-regulatory government publications, publications of recognized organizations and associations, federal rules, and federal statutory provisions referenced in this rule, see paragraph (AA) of this rule entitled "Referenced materials."]
Terms defined in sections 313(b)(1)(C) and 329 of Title III, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, and not explicitly defined herein are used within the meaning given in Title III. For the purpose of this chapter:
(A)
(1) "Act" means Title III, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, contained in 42 USC sections 11001 to 11050.
(2) "Article" means a manufactured item which conforms to the following:
(a) Is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture.
(b) Has end-use functions dependent in whole or part upon its shape or design during end use.
(c) Does not release a toxic chemical under normal conditions of processing or use of that item at the facility or establishment.
(B)
(1) "Benificiation" means the preparation of ores to regulate the size (including crushing and grinding) of the product, to remove unwanted constituents, or to improve the quality, purity, or grade of a desired product.
(2) "Boiler" means an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion and having either of the following characteristics:
(a) The unit conforms to the following:
(i) Has physical provisions for recovering and exporting thermal energy in the form of steam, heated fluids, or heated gases.
(ii) The unit's combustion chamber and primary energy recovery section is of integral design meaning that the combustion chamber and the primary energy recovery section (such as waterwalls and superheaters) are physically formed into one manufactured or assembled unit. A unit in which the combustion chamber and the primary energy recovery section are joined only by ducts or connections carrying flue gas is not integrally designed; however, secondary energy recovery equipment (such as economizers or air preheaters) need not be physically formed into the same unit as the combustion chamber and the primary energy recovery section. The following units are not precluded from being boilers solely because they are not integral design: process heaters (units that transfer energy directly to a process stream), and fluidized bed combustion units.
(iii) While in operation, the unit maintains a thermal energy recovery efficiency of at least sixty per cent, calculated in terms of the recovered energy compared with the thermal value of the fuel.
(iv) The unit exports and utilizes at least seventy-five per cent of the recovered energy, calculated on an annual basis. In this calculation, no credit is given for recovered heat used internally in the same unit. (Examples of internal use are the preheating of fuel or combustion air, and the driving of induced or forced draft fans or feedwater pumps).
(b) The unit is one which the director has determined, on a case-by-case basis, to be a boiler, after considering the standards in 40 CFR 260.32.
(C)
(1) "Coal extraction" means the physical removal or exposure of ore, coal, minerals, waste rock, or overburden prior to beneficiation, and encompasses all extraction-related activities prior to beneficiation. Extraction does not include beneficiation (including coal preparation), mineral processing, in situ leaching or any further activities.
(2) "Customs territory of the United States" means the fifty states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
(D) "Disposal" means any underground injection, placement in landfills/surface impoundments, land treatment, or other international land disposal.
(E) "Establishment" means an economic unit, generally at a single physical location, where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed.
(F)
(1) "Facility" means all buildings, equipment, structures and other stationary items which are located on a single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites and which are owned or operated by the same person (or by any person who controls, is controlled by, or under common control with such person). A facility may contain more than one establishment.
(2) "Full-time employee" means two thousand hours per year of full-time equivalent employment. A facility would calculate the number of full-time employees by totaling the hours worked during the calendar year by all employees, including contract employees, and dividing that total by two thousand hours.
(G) [Reserved.]
(H) [Reserved.]
(I)
(1) "Import" means to cause a chemical to be imported into the customs territory of the United States. For purposes of this definition, "to cause" means to intend that the chemical be imported and to control the identity of the imported chemical and the amount to be imported.

(j) Pulping liquor recovery furnaces.
(k) Combustion devices used in the recovery of sulfur values from spent sulfuric acid.
(l) Halogen acid furnaces (HAFS) for the production of acid from halogenated hazardous waste generated by chemical production facilities where the furnace is located on the site of a chemical production facility, the acid product has a halogen acid content of at least three per cent, the acid product is used in a manufacturing process, and, except for hazardous waste burned as fuel, hazardous waste fed to the furnace has a minimum halogen content of twenty per cent as-generated.
(m) Such other devices as the director may, after notice and comment, add to this list on the basis of one or more of the following:
(i) The design and use of the device primarily to accomplish recovery of material products.
(ii) The use of the device to burn or reduce raw materials to make a material product.
(iii) The use of the device to burn or reduce secondary materials as effective substitutes for raw materials, in processes using raw materials as principal feedstocks.
(iv) The use of the device to burn or reduce secondary materials as ingredients in an industrial process to make a material product
(v) The use of the device in common industrial practice to produce a material product.
(vi) Other factors, as appropriate.
(J) [Reserved.]
(K) [Reserved.]
(L) [Reserved.]
(M)
(1) "Manufacture" means to produce, prepare, import or compound a toxic chemical. Manufacture also applies to a toxic chemical that is produced coincidentally during the manufacture, processing, use or disposal of another chemical or mixture of chemicals, including a toxic chemical that is separated from other chemicals or mixture of chemicals as a byproduct, and a toxic chemical that remains in that other chemical or mixture of chemicals as an impurity.
(2) "Mixture" means any combination of two or more chemicals if the combination is not, in whole or in part, the result of a chemical reaction. However, if the combination was produced by a chemical reaction, but could have been produced without a chemical reaction, the combination is also treated as a mixture. A mixture also includes any combination which consists of a chemical and associated impurities.
(N) "NAICS" means North American industrial classification system.
(O)

Otherwise use of a toxic chemical does not include disposal, stabilization (without subsequent distribution in commerce), or treatment for destruction unless either of the following is true:
(a) The toxic chemical that was disposed, stabilized, or treated for destruction was received from off-site for the purposes of further waste management.
(b) The toxic chemical that was disposed, stabilized, or treated for destruction was manufactured as a result of waste management activities on materials received from off-site for the purposes of further waste management activities.
Relabeling or redistributing a container of a toxic chemical where no repackaging of the toxic chemical occurs does not constitute use or processing of the toxic chemical.
(3) "Overburden" means the unconsolidated material that overlies a deposit of useful materials or ores. Overburden does not include any portion of ore or waste rock.
(P)
(1) "Previously classified" means properly classified according to paragraph (B) of rule 3745-100-05 of the Administrative Code under a given SIC code, as identified in the "Standard Industrial Classification Manual."
