| * (I,T) should be used to specify mixtures that are ignitable and contain toxic constituents. |
(B) Listing-specific definitions.
(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.
