    1      CAS means Chemical Abstract Services. When the USEPA hazardous waste number or regulated constituents are described as a combination of a chemical with its salts or esters, the CAS number is given for the parent compound only.

     

    2      Concentration standards for wastewaters are expressed in mg/ℓ are based on analysis of composite samples.

     

    3      Except for metals (EP or TCLP) and cyanides (total and amenable), the nonwastewater treatment standards expressed as a concentration were established, in part, based on incineration in units operated in accordance with the technical requirements of Subpart O of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 or Subpart O of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 or on combustion in fuel substitution units operating in accordance with applicable technical requirements. A facility may comply with these treatment standards according to provisions in Section 728.140(d). All concentration standards for nonwastewaters are based on analysis of grab samples.

     

    4      Both Cyanides (Total) and Cyanides (Amenable) for nonwastewaters are to be analyzed using Method 9010C or 9012B, in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods", USEPA publication number EPA-530/ SW-846, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111(a), with a sample size of 10 grams and a distillation time of one hour and 15 minutes.

     

    5      These constituents are not "underlying hazardous constituents" in characteristic wastes, according to the definition at Section 728.102(i).

     

    6      This footnote corresponds with footnote 6 to the table to 40 CFR 268.48(a), which USEPA has removed and marked "reserved".  This statement maintains structural consistency with the corresponding federal regulations.

     

    7      This constituent is not an underlying hazardous constituent, as defined at Section 728.102(i), because its UTS level is greater than its TC level. Thus, a treated selenium waste would always be characteristically hazardous unless it is treated to below its characteristic level.

     

    8      This standard is temporarily deferred for soil exhibiting a hazardous characteristic due to USEPA hazardous waste numbers D004 through D011 only.

     

    Note:  NA means not applicable.

     

    BOARD NOTE:  Derived from table to 40 CFR 268.48(a) (2017).
