"Non-periodic waste" is a liquid hazardous waste in a quantity of less than 100 kg which will not be generated again by that generator. "Original generator" is a person who generates hazardous waste as a result of an activity or production process other than the treatment of hazardous waste. "Residual" is any material other than a gas which remains after, or is generated by, the treatment of a liquid hazardous waste.  A "residual" may itself be a "liquid hazardous waste". "Treater" is a person who engages in treatment of hazardous waste.  A "treater" may be a "generator", but may not be the "original generator". "Treatment" is treatment as defined at 35 Ill. Adm.

Adm. Code 724.101(g)(8) or 725.101(c)(11), whichever is applicable.
