Md. Code Regs. 26.13.02.13 - 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:
(a) Forbidden explosive as defined in
49 CFR §
173.54; or
(b) Class A explosive or a Class B explosive
as determined under §C of this regulation.
B. A solid waste that exhibits the
characteristic of reactivity has the EPA Hazardous Waste Number of
D003.
C. To determine if a waste
explosive is a Class A explosive or a Class B explosive, a person shall:
(1) Determine the division number for the
explosive under 49 CFR
§
173.50; and
(2) Consult
49 CFR §
173.53 to determine the class name for the
waste under the U.S. Department of Transportation classification system that
