Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, § 66265.17 - General Requirements for Ignitable, Reactive, or Incompatible Wastes
(a) The owner or
operator shall take precautions to prevent accidental ignition or reaction of
ignitable or reactive waste. This waste shall be separated and protected from
sources of ignition or reaction including but not limited to: Open flames,
smoking, cutting and welding, hot surfaces, frictional heat, sparks (static,
electrical, or mechanical), spontaneous ignition (e.g., from heat-producing
chemical reactions), and radiant heat. While ignitable or reactive waste is
being handled, the owner or operator shall confine smoking and open flame to
specially designated locations. "No Smoking" signs shall be conspicuously
placed wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste.
(b) Where specifically required by other
sections of this chapter, the transfer, treatment, storage, or disposal of
ignitable or reactive waste, and the mixture or commingling of incompatible
wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials, shall be conducted so that it
does not:
(1) generate extreme heat or
pressure, fire or explosion, or violent reaction;
(2) produce uncontrolled toxic mists, fumes,
dusts, or gases in sufficient quantities to threaten human health or the
environment;
(3) produce
uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities to pose a risk
of fire or explosions;
(4) damage
the structural integrity of the device or facility containing the waste;
or
(5) through other like means
threaten human health or the environment.
(c) When required to comply with subsection
(a) or (b) of this section, the owner or operator shall document that
compliance. This documentation may be based on references to published
scientific or engineering literature, data from trial tests (e.g., bench scale
or pilot scale tests), waste analyses (as specified in section
66265.13) or the results of the
treatment of similar wastes by similar treatment processes and under similar
operating conditions.
