Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 724.117 - General Requirements for Ignitable, Reactive, or Incompatible Wastes
a) The owner or
operator must take precautions to prevent accidental ignition or reaction of
ignitable or reactive waste. This waste must 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 must confine smoking and open flame to
specially designated locations. "No Smoking" signs must be conspicuously placed
wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste.
b) Where specifically required by this Part,
the owner or operator of a facility that treats, stores or disposes ignitable
or reactive waste, or mixes incompatible waste and other materials, must take
precautions to prevent reactions that do the following:
1) Generate extreme heat or pressure, fire or
explosions, or violent reactions;
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;
5) Through other like means threaten human
health or the environment.
c) When required to comply with subsection(a)
or (b), the owner or operator must 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
724.113 ),
or the results of the treatment of similar wastes by similar treatment
processes and under similar operating conditions.
