Special Requirements for Incompatible Wastes

Section 725 Section 725.357  Special Requirements for Incompatible Wastes a)         Incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials (see appendix V of 40 CFR 265 (Examples of Potentially Incompatible Waste), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111(b), for examples) must not be placed in the same pile, unless Section 725.117(b) is complied with. b)         A pile of hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or other material stored nearby in other containers, piles, open tanks, or surface impoundments must be separated from the other materials or protected from them by means of a dike, berm, wall, or other device. BOARD NOTE:  The purpose of this is to prevent fires, explosions, gaseous emissions, leaching, or other discharge of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could result from the contact or mixing of incompatible wastes or materials. c)         Hazardous waste must not be piled on the same area where incompatible wastes or materials were previously piled, unless that area has been decontaminated sufficiently to ensure compliance with Section 725.117(b).
