ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
July
16,
1987
IN THE MATTER OF
:
)
RCRA UPDATE,
USEPA REGULATIONS
)
R86-46
(7-1-86 THROUGH
9-30-86)
)
FINAL ORDER .
ADOPTED RULE
ORDER
OF THE BOARD
(by
J . Anderson)
:
Pursuant
to Section 22.4(a)
of the Environmental Protection
Act
(Act),
the Board
is amending
the
RCRA regulations
.
On October
9,
1986,
the Board opened this docket
for
the
purpose of updating
the RCRA rules
to agree with recent
USEPA
amendments
.
On March
19,
1987 the
Board proposed
to adopt
amendments which appeared
on April
17,
1987,
at
11
Ill .
Reg .
6958 .
The Board
has modified
the
proposal
in response
to public
comment
as
is detailed
in
the opinion of this
same day
.
Section 22.4(a)
of the Act governs adoption of regulations
establishing the
PCPA program
in Illinois .
Section
22 .4(a)
provides
for quick adoption of regulations which
are "identical
in substance"
to
federal
regulations
.
Section
22.4(a)
of the Act
provides that neither Title VII of the Act nor Section
5 of the
Administrative Procedure
Act applies
to rules adopted
under
"identical
in substance" authority .
Because
this rulemaking
is
not subject
to Section
5 of the Administrative Procedure Act,
it
is not subject
to review by the
Joint Committee on Administrative
Rules
(JCAR)
.
The
federal
RCRA regulations
are found at
40 CFR
260 through
270,
and 280 .
This rulemaking updates
Illinois'
RCRA
rules
to correspond with
federal amendments during the period
July
1 through September
30,
1986 .
The
Board has adopted
an Opinion supporting
this order
in
a
separate
action on
this
same day
.
The
Board will withhold filing
the adopted
rules
until
after July 27, 1987,
to allow time for
motions
to reconsider by the agencies
involved
in
the
authorization process .
The complete
text of the proposed
amendments
is
as
follows

lack of available treatment, storage or disposal
capacity at other hazardous waste management facilities
;
c)
Changes in the processes for the treatment, storage or
disposal of hazardous waste may be made at a facility or
additional processes may be added if the owner or
operator submits a revised Part A permit application
prior to such a change (along with a justification
explaining the need for change) and the Agency approves
the change because :
1)
It is necessary to prevent a threat to human health
or the environment because of an emergency
situation ; or
2)
It is necessary to comply with Federal and State
regulations, including 35 111 . Adm. Code 725
;
d)
Changes in the ownership or operational control of a
facility may be made if the new owner or operator
submits a revised Part A permit application no later
than 90 days prior to the scheduled change . When a
transfer of ownership or operational control of a
facility occurs, the old owner or operator shall comply
with the requirements of 35 Ill . Adm. Code 725-T-
.Subpart H (financial requirements), until the new owner
or operator has demonstrated to the Agency that it is
complying with the requirements of that Subpart. The
new owner or operator shall demonstrate compliance with
the financial assurance requirements within six months
after the date of the change in the ownership or
operational control of the facility. Upon demonstration
to the Agency by the new owner or operator of compliance
with the financial assurance requirements, the Agency
shall notify the old owner or operator in writing that
the old owner or operator no longer needs to comply with
35 Ill . Adm . Code 725.Subpart H as of the date of
demonstration. All other interim status duties are
transferred effective immediately upon the date of the
change of ownership or operational control of the
facility
;
e)
In no event shall changes be made to an HWM facility
during interim status which amount to reconstruction of
the facility. Reconstruction occurs when the capital
investment in the changes to the facility exceeds fifty
percent of the capital cost of a comparable entirely new
HWM facility .

SUBPART B: DEFINITIONS
Section 720 .110
Definitions
When used in 35 Ill . Adm. Code 720 through 725 only, the
following terms have the meanings given below
:
"Aboveground
tank" means a device meeting the definition
of "tank"
that is situated in such a way that the entire
surface area of the tank is completely above the plane
of the adjacent surrounding surface and the entire
surface area of the tank (including
the
tank bottom)
is
able to be visually inspected .
"Act" or "RCRA" means the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as
amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
1976, as amended (42 U .S .C. 6901 et seq .)
"Active life" of a facility means the period from the
initial receipt of hazardous waste at the facility until
the Agency receives certification of final closure
.
"Active portion" means that portion of a facility where
treatment, storage or disposal operations are being or
have been conducted after May 19, 1980 and which is not
a closed portion . (See also "closed portion" and
"inactive portion" .)
"Administrator" means the Administrator of the U .S .
Environmental Protection Agency or his designee
.
"Agency" means the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency .
"Ancillary equipment" means any device including,
but
not limited to, such devices as piping,
fittings,
flanges, valves and pumps, that is used to distribute,
meter or control the flow of hazardous waste from
its
point of generation to storage
or treatment tank(s),
between hazardous waste storage and treatment tanks to a
point of disposal onsite,
or to a point of shipment for
disposal off-site
.
"Aquifer" means a geologic formation, group of
formations or part of a formation capable of yielding a
significant amount of groundwater to wells or springs
.
"Authorized representative" means the person responsible
for the overall operation of a facility or an
operational unit (i .e ., part of a facility), e .g .,
the
plant manager, superintendent or person of equivalent
79-718

 
-19-
responsibility .
"Board" means the Illinois Pollution Control Board
.
"Boiler" means
an enclosed device using controlled
flame
combustion and having
the following characteristics
:
The
unit must have physical provisions
for
recovering
and exporting
thermal energy
in
the
form
of steam,
heated
fluids
or heated gases ;
and the
unit's combustion chamber
and primary energy
recovery section(s) must be of integral design . To
be of integral design, the combustion chamber and
the primary energy recovery section(s) (such as
waterwalls and superheaters) must be physically
formed into one manufactured or assembled unit. A
unit in which the combustion chamber and the
primary energy recovery section(s) 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 of integral design: process heaters
(units that transfer energy directly to a process
stream), and fluidized bed combustion units ; and
While in operation, the unit must maintain a
thermal energy recovery efficiency of at least 60
percent, calculated in terms of the recovered
energy compared with the thermal value of the fuel
;
and
The unit must export and utilize at least 75
percent of the recovered energy, calculated on an
annual basis . In this calculation, no credit shall
be 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) ; or
The unit is one which the Board has determined, on
a case-by-case basis, to be a boiler, after
considering the standards in Section 720 .132 .
"Certification" means a statement of professional
opinion based upon knowledge and belief
.
"Closed Portion" means that portion of a facility which
an owner or operator has closed in accordance with the
approved facility closure plan and all applicable
79-7 19

 
-20-
closure requirements
.
(See
also
"active portion"
and
"inactive portion" .)
"Component" meanseither
the tankor ancillaryequipment
of atanksystem
.
"Confined aquifer" means an aquifer bounded above and
below by impermeable beds
or by beds of distinctly lower
permeability than that of the aquifer itself ; an aquifer
containing confined groundwater
.
"Container" means any portable device in which a
material is stored, transported, treated, disposed of or
otherwise handled
.
"Contingency plan" means a document setting out an
organized, planned and coordinated course of action to
be followed in case of a fire, explosion or release of
hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents which
could threaten human health or the environment
.
"Corrosion expert" means a person who, by reason of
knowledge of the physical sciences and the principles of
enqineering and mathematics,
acquired by a professional
education and related practical experience,
is qualified
to engage in the practice of corrosion control on buried
or submerged metal piling systems and metal tanks
.
Such
a person must be certified as being qualified by the
National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE)
or be
a registered professional en ineer who has certification
or licensing that includes education and experience
in
corrosion control on buried or submerged metal piping
systems and metal tanks .
"Designated facility" means a hazardous waste treatment,
storage or disposal facility which has received an EPA
permit (or a facility with interim status) in accordance
with the requirements of 40 CFR 270 and 124 or a permit
from a state authorized in accordance with 40 CFR 271,
or that is regulated under 40 CFR 261 .6(c)(2) or 40 CFR
266.Subpart F or 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 .106(c)(2) or
726.Subpart F and that has been designated on the
manifest by the generator pursuant to 35 Ill . Adm. Code
722.120
.
"Dike" means an embankment or ridge of either natural or
manmade materials used to prevent the movement of
liquids, sludges, solids or other materials .
"Director" means the Director of the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency
.

SUBPART B: GENERAL FACILITY STANDARDS
Section 724 .115
General Inspection Requirements
a)
The owner or operator must conduct inspections often
enough to identify problems in time to correct them
before they harm human health or the environment . The
owner or operator must inspect the facility for
malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and
discharges which may be causing, or may lead to :
1)
Release of hazardous waste constituents to the
environment ; or
2)
A threat to human health
.
b)
1)
The owner or operator must develop and follow a
written schedule for inspecting monitoring
equipment, safety and emergency equipment, security
devices and operating and structural equipment
(such as dikes and sump pumps) that are important
to preventing, detecting or responding to
environmental or human health hazards .
2)
The owner or operator must keep this schedule at
the facility
.
3)
The schedule must identify the types of problems
79-777

 
- 7 8 -
(e .g ., malfunctions
or deterioration)
which are
to
be
looked
for during
the inspection
(e .g .,
inoperative sump pump,
leaking
fitting,
eroding
dike,
etc .)
.
4)
The frequency of inspection may vary for the items
on the schedule . However, it should be based on
the rate of possible deterioration of the equipment
and the probability of an environmental or human
health incident if the deterioration, malfunction
or any operator error goes undetected between
inspections . Areas subject to spills, such as
loading and unloading areas, must be inspected
daily when in use . At a minimum, the inspection
schedule must include the terms and frequencies
called for in Sections 724 .274, -424:294;-724.293,
724 .295,
724.326, 724 .353, 724 .354, 724.403, and
724.447, where applicable
.
(Board Note: 35 Ill . Adm. Code 703 requires the
inspection schedule to be submitted with Part B of
the permit application . The Agency will evaluate
the schedule along with the rest of the application
to ensure that it adequately protects human health
and the environment . As part of this review, the
Agency may modify or amend the schedule as may be
necessary .)
c)
The owner or operator must remedy any deterioration or
malfunction of equipment or structures which the
inspection reveals on a schedule which ensures that the
problem does not lead to an environmental or human
health hazard . Where a hazard is imminent or has
already occurred, remedial action must be taken
immediately .
d)
The owner or operator must record inspections in an
inspection log or summary. The owner or operator must
keep these records for at least three years from the
date of inspection . At a minimum, these records must
include the date and time of the inspection, the name of
the inspector, a notation of the observations made and
the date and nature of any repairs or other remedial
actions .

or disposal at the facility or group of facilities, the
Agency shall adjust the level of financial
responsibility required under subsection (a) or (b) as
may be necessary to protect human health and the
environment. This adjusted level shall be based on the
Agency'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
Agency determines that there is a significant risk to
human health and the environment from nonsudden
accidental occurrences resulting from the operations of
a facility that is not a surface impoundment, landfill
or land treatment facility, the Agency may require that
an owner or operator of the facility comply with
subsection (b) .
An owner or operator shall furnish to
the Agency, within a time specified by the Agency in the
request, which shall not be less than 30 days, any
information which the Agency requests to determine
whether cause exists for such adjustments of level or
type of coverage . Any adjustment of the level or type
of coverage for a facility that has a permit will be
treated as a permit modification under 35 Ill . Adm. Code

2)
The analysis may include data developed under 35
Ill . Adm. Code 721 and existing published or
documented data on the hazardous waste or on waste
generated from similar processes
.
(Board Note : For example, the facility's record of
analyses performed on the waste before the
effective date of these regulations or studies
conducted on hazardous waste generated from
processes similar to that which generated the waste
to be managed at the facility may be included in
the data base required to comply with
-patagtaph-
subsection
(a)(1)
.
The owner or operator of an
off-site facility may arrange for the generator of
the hazardous waste to supply part or all of the
information required by -paragraph-subsection
(a)(1)
.
If the generator does not supply the
information and the owner or operator chooses to
accept a hazardous waste, the owner or operator is
responsible for obtaining the information required
to comply with this Section .)
3)
The analysis must be repeated as necessary to
insure that it is accurate and up-to-date . At a
minimum, the analysis must be repeated :
A)
When the owner or operator is notified, or has
reason to believe, that the process or
operation generating the hazardous waste has
changed; and
B)
For off-site facilities, when the results of
the inspection required in -pafagfaph-
subsection
(a)(4)
indicate that the hazardous
waste received at the facility does not match
the waste designated on the accompanying
manifest or shipping paper
.
4)
The owner or operator of an off-site facility
-mast-shall
inspect and, if necessary, analyze each
hazardous waste movement received at the facility
to determine whether it matches the identity of the
waste specified on the accompanying manifest or
shipping paper .
b)

be analyzed
and
the rationale
for
the selection of
these parameters
(i .e ., how analysis for
these
parameters will provide sufficient information on
the waste's properties to comply with -pafagfaph-
subsection
(a)
2)
The test methods which will be used to test for
these parameters
;
3)
The sampling method which will be used to obtain a
representative sample of the waste to be
analyzed . A representative sample may be obtained
using either :
A)
One of the sampling methods described in 35
Ill. Adm. Code 721 .Appendix A or
B)
An equivalent sampling method
.
(Board Note : See 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720 .120(c)
for related discussion .)
4) The frequency with which the initial analysis of
the waste will be reviewed or repeated to ensure
that the analysis is accurate and up-to-date ;
5) For off-site facilities, the waste analyses that
hazardous waste generators have agreed to supply
;
and
6)
Where applicable, the methods which will be used to
meet the additional waste analysis requirements for
specific waste management methods as specified in

Agency shall hold a public hearing whenever it finds, on
the basis of requests, a significant degree of public
interest in a tentative decision to grant an adjusted
level of required liability insurance . The Agency may
also hold a public hearing at its discretion whenever
such a hearing might clarify one or more issues involved
in the tentative decision .
d)
Adjustments by the Agency . If the Agency determines
that the levels of financial responsibility required by
subsection (a) or (b) are not consistent with the degree
and duration of risk associated with treatment, storage
or disposal at the facility or group of facilities, the
Agency shall adjust the level of financial
responsibility required under subsection (a) or (b) as
may be necessary to protect human health and the
environment . This adjusted level shall be based on the
Agency'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
Agency determines that there is a significant risk to
human health and the environment from nonsudden
accidental occurrences resulting from the operations of
a facility that is not a surface impoundment, landfill
or land treatment facility, the Agency may require that
an owner or operator of the facility comply with
subsection (b)
.
An owner or operator shall furnish to
the Agency, within a time specified by the Agency in the
request, which shall not be less than 30 days, any
information which the Agency requests to determine
whether cause exists for such adjustments of level or
type of coverage. The Agency shall process any request
for an adjusted level of required liability coverage as
if it were a permit modification request under 35 Ill .
Adm. Code 702.184(e)(3) and 705 .128 . Notwithstanding
any other provision, the Agency shall hold a public
hearing whenever it finds, on the basis of requests, a
significant degree of public interest in a tentative
decision to grant an adjusted level of required
liability insurance . The Agency may also hold a public

Pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Environmental Protection
Act, and in accordance with
35 Ill .
Adm .
Code 106,
Subpart D, an adjusted standard will be granted by the
Board regarding alternative design and operating
practices only if the Board finds either
that the
alternative design and operating practices, together
with location characteristics,
will prevent the
migration of any hazardous waste or hazardous
constituents into the groundwater
or surface water
at
least as effectively as secondary containment durin the
active life of the tank system, or that in the event of
a release that does migrate to groundwater or surface
water, no substantial present or potential hazard will
be posed to human health or the environment
.
New
underground tank systems may not receive an adjusted
standard from the secondary containment requirements of
this Section through a justification
in accordance with
subsection
(g)(2)
.
1)
When determining whether to grant alternative
design and operating practices based on a
demonstration of equivalent protection of
groundwater and surface water, the Board will
consider whether the petitioner
has justified an
adjusted standard based on the following factors
:
A)
The nature and quantity of the waste
;
B)
The proposed alternate design and operation
;
C)
The hydrogeologic setting of the facility,
including
the thickness of soils
between
the
tank system and groundwater ; and

Section 725.300
Waste Analysis and Trial Tests
In addition to performing the waste analysis required by Section
725 .113,
the owner
or operator shall, whenever a tank system is
to be used to treat
chemically,
or
to
store,
a hazardous waste
that is substantially different from waste previously treated or
stored
in that tank system; or to treat chemically a hazardous
waste with a substantially different process than any previously
used
in that tank system
:
a)
Conduct waste analyses and trial treatment or storage
tests
(e .g .,
bench-scale or pilot-plant scale tests)
;
or
b)
Obtain written, documented information on similar waste
under similar operating conditions to show that the
proposed treatment or storage will meet the requirements
of Section 725 .294(a)
.

Section 725 .301
Generators of 100 to 1000 kq/mo .
a)
The requirements of this Section apply to small quantity
generators of more than 100 kg but less than 1000 kg of
hazardous waste in a calendar month, that accumulate
hazardous waste in tanks
for less than 180 days
(or
270
days if the generator must ship the waste greater than
200 miles), and do not accumulate over 6,000 kq on-site
79-855

atanytime .
b)
Generatorsofbetween100and1000kq/mohazardous
waste
shallcomply with the following general operating
requirements :
1)
Treatment or storage of hazardous waste in tanks
must comply with Section 725 .117(b)
.
2)
Hazardous wastes
or
treatment reagents must not be
placed
in a tank if they could cause the tank or
its inner
liner to rupture, leak,
corrode or
otherwise
fail
before the end of its intended
life .
3)
Uncovered tanks must be operated to ensure at least
60 centimeters
(2 feet)
of freeboard, unless the
tank is equipped with a containment structure
(e .q
.
dike
or
trench), a drainage control system or a
diversion structure
(e .g .,
standby tank) with a
capacity that equals or exceeds the volume of the
top 60 centimeters
(2 feet)
of the tank .
4)
Where hazardous waste is continuously fed into a
tank, the tank must be equipped with a means to
stop this inflow(e .g ., waste feed cutoff system or
by-pass system to a stand-by tank)
.
(Board Note-These systems are intended to be used
in the event of a leak or overflow from the tank
due to a system failure
(e .q .,
a malfunction
in the
treatment process, a crack
in the
tank,
etc .) .)
c)
Generators of between 100 and 1000 kg/mo accumulating
hazardous waste
in tanks shall
inspect, where present :
1)
Discharge control equipment
(e .q ., waste feed
cutoff systems, by-pass systems, and drainage
systems) at least once each operating day, to
ensure that it is in good working order
;
2)
Data gathered from monitoring equipment
(e .g .,
pressure and temperature gauges)
at least once each
operating day to ensure that the tank is being
operated according to its design
;
3)
The level of waste in the tank at least once each
operating day to ensure compliance with Section
725.292(c) ;
4)
The construction materials of
the tank at least
weekly to detect corrosion or leaking of fixtures
or seams
;
and
5)
The construction materials of, and the area
79-856

 
-157-
immediately surrounding, discharge confinement
structures
(e .g ., dikes)
at least weekly to detect
erosion or obvious signs of leakage
(e .g .,
wet
spots or dead vegetation)
.
(Board Note
:
As required by Section 725 .115(c),
the owner or operator must remedy any deterioration
or malfunction the owner or operator finds .)
d)
Generators of between 100 and 1000 kq/mo accumulating
hazardous waste in
tanks shall, upon closure of the
facility,
remove all hazardous waste from tanks,
discharge control equipment and discharge confinement
structures
.
(Board Note
:
At closure, as throughout the operating
period, unless the owner or operator demonstrates,
in
accordance with 35 Ill . Adm. Code 721 .103(c)
or
(d),
that any solid waste removed from the tank is not a
hazardous
waste, the owner or operator becomes
a
generator of hazardous waste and must manage it in
accordance with all applicable requirements of 35
Ill .
Adm
.
Code 722,
723 and
725 .)
e)
Generators of between 100 and 1000 kg/mo shall comply
with the following special
requirements
for ignitable
or
reactive waste :
1)
Iqnitable or reactive waste must not be placed
in a
tank,
unless
:
A)
The waste is treated, rendered or mixed before
or immediately after placement in
a tank
so
that ;
i)
The resulting waste, mixture or
dissolution of material no longer meets
the definition of ignitable or reactive
waste under 35 Ill . Adm . Code 721.121 or
721 .123,
and
ii)
Section
725 .117(b)
is complied with ; or
B)
The waste is stored or treated
in such a way
that it is protected from any material or
conditions that may cause the waste to ignite
or react ; or
C)
The
tank
is used solely for emergencies
2)
The owner or operator of a facility which treats or
stores ignitable or reactive waste
in covered tanks
shall comply with the buffer
zone requirements
for
tanks contained
in Tables 2-1 through 2-6 of
the
