ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):

 


SUMMARY OF TODAY’S ACTION

 

This identical-in-substance rulemaking would update the Illinois hazardous waste regulations to incorporate revisions to the federal regulations. The federal amendments that prompted this action were made by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) during the period of July 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. This proceeding proposes amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 and 739. This proposal for public comment would also make a series of non-substantive corrections and stylistic revisions to segments of the text of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 739 that are not otherwise affected by the covered federal amendments.

 

Sections 7.2 and 22.4(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 22.4(a) (2002)) require the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance” to hazardous waste regulations adopted by the USEPA. These USEPA rules implement Subtitle C of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA Subtitle C) (42 U.S.C. §§ 6921 et seq. (2000)).

 

Sections 7.2 and 22.4(a) provide for quick adoption of regulations that are identical in substance to federal regulations that USEPA adopts to implement Sections 3001 through 3005 of RCRA (42 U.S.C. §§ 6921-6925 (2000)). Section 22.4(a) also provides that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-35 and 5-40 (2002)) do not apply to the Board’s adoption of identical-in-substance regulations. The federal RCRA Subtitle C regulations are found at 40 C.F.R. 260 through 266, 268, 270, 271, 273, and 279.

 

This order is supported by an opinion that the Board also adopts today. The Board will cause the proposed amendments to be published in the Illinois Register and will hold the docket open to receive public comments for 45 days after the date of publication.

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

SUBPART A: GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

 
Section 721.105 Special Requirements for Hazardous Waste Generated by Small Quantity Generators
   
a) A generator is a conditionally exempt small quantity generator in a calendar month if it generates no more than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste in that month.
b) Except for those wastes identified in subsections (e), (f), (g), and (j) of this Section, a conditionally exempt small quantity generator’s hazardous wastes are not subject to regulation under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 722 through 726, and 728, and the notification requirements of section 3010 of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, provided the generator complies with the requirements of subsections (f), (g), and (j) of this Section.
c) When making the quantity determinations of this Part and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722, the generator must include all hazardous waste that it generates, except the following hazardous waste:
      
1) Hazardous waste that is exempt from regulation under Section 721.104(c) through (f), 721.106(a)(3), 721.107(a)(1), or 721.108;
2) Hazardous waste that is managed immediately upon generation only in on-site elementary neutralization units, wastewater treatment units, or totally enclosed treatment facilities, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110;
3) Hazardous waste that is recycled, without prior storage or accumulation, only in an on-site process subject to regulation under Section 721.106(c)(2);
4) Hazardous waste that is used oil managed under the requirements of Section 721.106(a)(4) and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 739;
5) Hazardous waste that is spent lead-acid batteries managed under the requirements of Subpart G of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 726; and
6) Hazardous waste that is universal waste managed under Section 721.109 and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733.
 
d) In determining the quantity of hazardous waste it generates, a generator need not include the following:
   
1) Hazardous waste when it is removed from on-site storage;
2) Hazardous waste produced by on-site treatment (including reclamation) of its hazardous waste so long as the hazardous waste that is treated was counted once;
3) Spent materials that are generated, reclaimed, and subsequently reused on-site, so long as such spent materials have been counted once.
 
e) If a generator generates acute hazardous waste in a calendar month in quantities greater than those set forth below in subsections (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this Section, all quantities of that acute hazardous waste are subject to full regulation under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 722 through 726, and 728, and the notification requirements of section 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act:.
  
1) A total of one kilogram of one or more of the acute hazardous wastes listed in Section 721.131, 721.132, or 721.133(e); or
2) A total of 100 kilograms of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the clean-up of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any one or more of the acute hazardous wastes listed in Section 721.131, 721.132, or 721.133(e).

BOARD NOTE: “Full regulation” means those regulations applicable to generators of greater than 1000 kg of non-acute hazardous waste in a calendar month.

 

 
f) In order for acute hazardous wastes generated by a generator of acute hazardous wastes in quantities equal to or less than those set forth in subsection (e)(1) or (e)(2) of this Section to be excluded from full regulation under this Section, the generator must comply with the following requirements:
   
1) 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.111.
2) The generator may accumulate acute hazardous waste on-site. If the generator accumulates at any time acute hazardous wastes in quantities greater than set forth in subsection (e)(1) or (e)(2) of this Section, all of those accumulated wastes are subject to regulation under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 722 through 726, and 728, and the applicable notification requirements of section 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The time period of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.134(a), for accumulation of wastes on-site, begins when the accumulated wastes exceed the applicable exclusion limit.
3) A conditionally exempt small quantity generator may either treat or dispose of its acute hazardous waste in an on-site facility or ensure delivery to an off-site treatment, storage, or disposal facility, any of which, if located in the United States, meets any of the following conditions:
     
A) The facility is permitted under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702 and 703;
B) The facility has interim status under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 725;
C) The facility is authorized to manage hazardous waste by a state with a hazardous waste management program approved by USEPA pursuant to 40 CFR 271;

E) The facility is permitted, licensed, or registered by a state to manage non-municipal non-hazardous waste and, if managed in a non-municipal non-hazardous waste disposal unit, the unit is subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 257.5 through 257.30;

BOARD NOTE: The Illinois non-hazardous waste landfill regulations, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 810 through 814, do not allow the disposal of hazardous waste in a landfill regulated under those rules. The Board intends that subsections (f)(3)(D) and (f)(3)(E) of this Section impose a federal requirement on the hazardous waste generator. The Board specifically does not intend that these subsections authorize any disposal of conditionally-exempt small quantity generator waste in a landfill not specifically permitted to accept the particular hazardous waste.

 

 
F) The facility is one that fulfills one of the following conditions:
  
i) It beneficially uses or reuses or legitimately recycles or reclaims its waste; or
ii) It treats its waste prior to beneficial use or reuse or legitimate recycling or reclamation; or
 
G) For universal waste managed under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733 or 40 CFR 273, the facility is a universal waste handler or destination facility subject to the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733 or 40 CFR 273.
 
g) In order for hazardous waste generated by a conditionally exempt small quantity generator in quantities of less than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste during a calendar month to be excluded from full regulation under this Section, the generator must comply with the following requirements:
   
1) 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.111;
2) The conditionally exempt small quantity generator may accumulate hazardous waste on-site.

Adm. Code 722 applicable to generators of between 100 kg and 1000 kg of hazardous waste in a calendar month, as well as the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 723 through 726, and 728, and the applicable notification requirements of Section 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The time period of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.134(d) for accumulation of wastes on-site begins for a small quantity generator when the accumulated wastes exceed 1000 kilograms;
3) A conditionally exempt small quantity generator may either treat or dispose of its hazardous waste in an on-site facility or ensure delivery to an off-site treatment, storage, or disposal facility, any of which, if located in the United States, meets any of the following conditions:
     
A) The facility is permitted under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702 and 703;
B) The facility has interim status under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 725;
C) The facility is authorized to manage hazardous waste by a state with a hazardous waste management program approved by USEPA under 40 CFR 271 (2002);
D) The facility is permitted, licensed, or registered by a state to manage municipal solid waste and, if managed in a municipal solid waste landfill facility, the landfill is subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 810 through 814 or 40 CFR 258;
E) The facility is permitted, licensed, or registered by a state to manage non-municipal non-hazardous waste and, if managed in a non-municipal non-hazardous waste disposal unit, the unit is subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 257.5 through 257.30;

BOARD NOTE: The Illinois non-hazardous waste landfill regulations, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 810 through 814, do not allow the disposal of hazardous waste in a landfill regulated under those rules. The Board intends that subsections (g)(3)(D) and (g)(3)(E) of this Section impose a federal requirement on the hazardous waste generator. The Board specifically does not intend that these subsections authorize any disposal of conditionally-exempt small quantity generator waste in a landfill not specifically permitted to accept the particular hazardous waste.

 

 
F) The facility is one that fulfills the following conditions:
  
i) It beneficially uses or re-uses, or legitimately recycles or reclaims the small quantity generator’s waste; or
ii) It treats its waste prior to beneficial use or re-use or legitimate recycling or reclamation; or
 
G) For universal waste managed under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733 or 40 CFR 273, the facility is a universal waste handler or destination facility subject to the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 733 or 40 CFR 273.
   
h) Hazardous waste subject to the reduced requirements of this Section may be mixed with non-hazardous waste and remain subject to these reduced requirements even though the resultant mixture exceeds the quantity limitations identified in this Section, unless the mixture meets any of the characteristics of hazardous wastes identified in Subpart C of this Part.
i) If a small quantity generator mixes a solid waste with a hazardous waste that exceeds a quantity exclusion level of this Section, the mixture is subject to full regulation.
j) If a conditionally exempt small quantity generator’s hazardous wastes are mixed with used oil, the mixture is subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 739 if it is destined to be burned for energy recovery. Any material produced from such a mixture by processing, blending, or other treatment is also so regulated if it is destined to be burned for energy recovery.

SUBPART A: DEFINITIONS

 

 
Section 739.100 Definitions

Terms that are defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110, 721.101, and 731.112 have the same meanings when used in this Part.

 

“Aboveground tank” means a tank used to store or process used oil that is not an underground storage tank, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 280.12.

BOARD NOTE: This definition is different from the definition for “Aboveground aboveground tank” given in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. Although the meanings are similar, the main distinction is that the definition for this Part limits the tanks to those used to store or process used oil, whereas the 720.110 definition contemplates tanks that contain hazardous wastes. The above definition of this Section is limited to this Part only.

 

“Container” means any portable device in which a material is stored, transported, treated, disposed of, or otherwise handled.

 

“Do-it-yourselfer used oil collection center” means any site or facility that accepts or aggregates and stores used oil collected only from household do-it-yourselfers.

 

“Existing tank” means a tank that is used for the storage or processing of used oil and that is in operation, or for which installation has had commenced on or prior to the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State in which the tank is located October 4, 1996. Installation will be considered to have commenced if the owner or operator has had obtained all federal, state, and local approvals or permits necessary to begin installation of the tank and if either of the following had occurred:

 

A continuous on-site installation program has had begun, or

 

The owner or operator has had entered into contractual obligations that cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss for installation of the tank to be completed within a reasonable time.

BOARD NOTE: This definition is similar to the definition for “Existing tank system” in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. Although the meanings are similar, the definition given above for “existing tank” in this Part limits the tanks to those used to store or process used oil, whereas the 720.110 definition contemplates tanks systems that contain hazardous wastes. The above definition of this Section is limited to this Part only.

 

“Household ‘do-it-yourselfer’ used oil” means oil that is derived from households, such as used oil generated by individuals who generate used oil through the maintenance of their personal vehicles.

BOARD NOTE: Household ‘do-it-yourselfer’ used oil is not subject to the State’s special waste hauling permit requirements under Part 809.

 

“Household ‘do-it-yourselfer’ used oil generator” means an individual who generates household “do-it-yourselfer” used oil.

 

“New tank” means a tank that will be used to store or process used oil and for which installation has had commenced after the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State in which the tank is located October 4, 1996.

BOARD NOTE: This definition is similar to the definition given for “New tank system” given in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. Although the meanings are similar, the definition given above for “new tank” in this Part limits the tanks to those used to store or process used oil, whereas the 720.110 definition contemplates new tanks systems which that contain hazardous wastes. The above definition of this Section is limited to this Part only.

BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 279.22(d) applies to releases that “occurred after the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State in which the release is located.” The Board adopted the used oil standards in docket R93-4 at 17 Ill. Reg. 20954, effective November 22, 1993. USEPA approved the Illinois standards at 61 Fed. Reg. 40521 (Aug. 5, 1996), effective October 4, 1996. The Board has interpreted “the effective date of the authorized used oil program” to mean the October 4, 1996 date of federal authorization of the Illinois program, and we substituted that date for the federal effective date language. Had USEPA written something like “the effective date of the used oil program in the authorized State in which the release is located,” the Board would have used the November 22, 1993 effective date of the Illinois used oil standards.

 

    
1) Stop the release;
2) Contain the released used oil;
3) Properly clean up and manage the released used oil and other materials; and

2) Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in light of the materials or processes used.
 
c) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to 1,000 ppm total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart D. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for example, by using an analytical method from SW-846, Edition III incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, to show that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in Appendix H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Appendix H). U.S. EPA Publication SW-846, Third Edition, is available from the Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, PO Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954. (202) 783-3238 (document number 955-001-00000-1).
  
1) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to metalworking oils and fluids containing chlorinated paraffins, if they are processed, through a tolling arrangement as described in Section 739.124(c), to reclaim metalworking oils and fluids. The presumption does apply to metalworking oils and fluids if such oils and fluids are recycled in any other manner, or disposed.
2) The rebuttable presumption does not apply to used oils contaminated with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) removed from refrigeration units if the CFC 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.
 
d) Record retention. Records of analyses conducted or information used to comply with subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Section must be maintained by the transporter for at least 3 three years.

1) In The containers must be in good condition (no severe rusting, apparent structural defects or deterioration); and
2) Not The containers may not be leaking (no visible leaks).
 
d) Secondary containment for containers. Containers used to store used oil at a transfer facilities facility must be equipped with a secondary containment system.
 
1) The secondary containment system must consist of the following, at a minimum:
 
A) Both of the following:
  
i) Dikes, berms, or retaining walls; and
ii) A floor. The floor must cover the entire area within the dikes, berms, or retaining walls; or
 
B) An equivalent secondary containment system.
 
2) The entire containment system, including walls and floors, must be sufficiently impervious to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the containment system from migrating out of the system to the soil, groundwater, or surface water.
 
e) Secondary containment for existing aboveground tanks. Existing aboveground tanks used to store used oil at a transfer facilities facility must be equipped with a secondary containment system.
 
1) The secondary containment system must consist of the following, at a minimum:
 
A) Both of the following:
  
i) Dikes, berms, or retaining walls; and
ii) A floor. The floor must cover the entire area within the dike, berm, or retaining wall except areas where existing portions of the tank meet the ground; or
 
B) An equivalent secondary containment system.
 
2) The entire containment system, including walls and floors, must be sufficiently impervious to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the containment system from migrating out of the system to the soil, groundwater, or surface water.
 
f) Secondary containment for new aboveground tanks. New aboveground tanks used to store used oil at a transfer facilities facility must be equipped with a secondary containment system.
 
1) The secondary containment system must consist of the following, at a minimum:

1) Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used oil at transfer facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the words “Used Oil.”
2) Fill pipes used to transfer used oil into underground storage tanks at transfer facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the words “Used Oil.”
 
h) Response to releases. Upon detection of a release of used oil to the environment that is not subject to the federal requirements of 40 CFR 280, Subpart F and which has occurred after October 4, 1996, an owner or operator of a transfer facility shall must perform the following cleanup steps:

BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 279.45(h) applies to releases that “occurred after the effective date of the authorized used oil program for the State in which the release is located.” The Board adopted the used oil standards in docket R93-4 at 17 Ill. Reg. 20954, effective November 22, 1993. USEPA approved the Illinois standards at 61 Fed. Reg. 40521 (Aug. 5, 1996), effective October 4, 1996. The Board has interpreted “the effective date of the authorized used oil program” to mean the October 4, 1996 date of federal authorization of the Illinois program, and we substituted that date for the federal effective date language. Had USEPA written something like “the effective date of the used oil program in the authorized State in which the release is located,” the Board would have used the November 22, 1993 effective date of the Illinois used oil standards.

 

    
1) Stop the release;
2) Contain the released used oil;
3) Properly clean up and manage the released used oil and other materials; and
4) If necessary, repair or replace any leaking used oil storage containers or tanks prior to returning them to service.

Section 739.153 Rebuttable presumption Presumption for used oil Used Oil
  
a) To ensure that used oil is not a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption of Section 739.110(b)(1)(ii), the owner or operator of a used oil processing facility shall must determine whether the total halogen content of used oil managed at the facility is above or below 1,000 ppm.
b) The owner or operator shall must make this determination by the following means:
  
1) Testing the used oil; or
2) Applying knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil in light of the materials or processes used.
 
c) If the used oil contains greater than or equal to 1,000 ppm total halogens, it is presumed to be a hazardous waste because it has been mixed with halogenated hazardous waste listed in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart D. The owner or operator may rebut the presumption by demonstrating that the used oil does not contain hazardous waste (for example, by using an analytical method from SW-846, Edition III incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, to show that the used oil does not contain significant concentrations of halogenated hazardous constituents listed in Appendix H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Appendix H).
