22.11 Special Requirements for Ignitable, Incompatible, or Reactive Wastes –
40 CFR 270.15, 261.23, 264.176, & 264.177
22.11.1 Ignitable or Reactive Wastes – 40 CFR 261.21 & 261.23
No ignitable or reactive wastes will be accepted at the proposed TSF. No special
accommodations have been incorporated into the proposed TSF design to allow acceptance of
ignitable or reactive wastes.
Explosives will not be accepted at the proposed TSF. Use of water throughout the proposed TSF
will be minimized. The proposed TSF will not be connected to a municipal water treatment
plant, and therefore, minimizes the introduction of water. Water will be transported to and from
the proposed TSF. It will be a priority of the process design and operation to limit water usage.
22.11.2 Incompatible Wastes – 40 CFR 264.17(b), 264.177, & 270.15(b)
The mercury and mercury-bearing materials that will be accepted by the proposed TSF are not
incompatible wastes.
Incoming Materials
Waste generators (who send mercury and mercury-bearing materials to the proposed TSF) will
be responsible for placing waste streams in appropriate containers. The proposed TSF will
inspect and receive these wastes as described in Section 1.2.1.
No material that is incompatible with the primary materials to be processed at the proposed TSF
will be accepted.
Wastes Generated at the Proposed TSF
Similar wastes generated at the proposed TSF may be placed in the same container, provided that
the container itself is not made from an incompatible material; incompatible wastes will not be
mixed or placed in the same container. The compatibility chart (see Appendix 2-B) will be used
to determine compatibility.
The WAP (Appendix 2-A) presents the procedure for cleaning and reusing containers at the
proposed TSF.
22.12 Air Emission Standards – 40 CFR 270.15(e), 264.179, & 264.1086
Independent of this application, the proposed TSF will pursue the applicable air permits through
NDEP, Bureau of Air Quality. The proposed TSF will comply with the air emission standards
established in the issued air permit. Additionally, the proposed TSF will conform to the air
emission standards of Subpart CC of 40 CFR Part 264, as applicable.
