Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 721.123 - Characteristic of Reactivity
a) A
solid waste exhibits the characteristic of reactivity if a representative
sample of the waste has any of the following properties:
1) It is normally unstable and readily
undergoes violent change without detonating.
2) It reacts violently with water.
3) It forms potentially explosive mixtures
with water.
4) When mixed with
water, it generates toxic gases, vapors, or fumes in a quantity sufficient to
present a danger to human health or the environment.
5) It is a cyanide or sulfide bearing waste
which, when exposed to pH conditions between 2 and 12.5 can generate toxic
gases, vapors, or fumes in a quantity sufficient to present a danger to human
health or the environment.
6) It is
capable of detonation or explosive reaction if it is subjected to a strong
initiating source or if heated under confinement.
7) It is readily capable of detonation or
explosive decomposition or reaction at standard temperature and
pressure.
8) It is a forbidden
explosive, as defined in federal
49 CFR
173.54 (Forbidden Explosives) or a Division
1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 explosive, as defined in
49 CFR 173.50
(Class 1 - Definitions), each incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111(b).
BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 261.23 cites to 49 CFR 173.53 (Provisions for Using Old Classifications of Explosives). That citation aids bridging obsolete USDOT rules to the current version. The Board has not included citation to 49 CFR 173.53 because it imposes no substantive requirements.
b)
A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of reactivity has the USEPA
hazardous waste number of D003.
