R315-264-312. Special Requirements for Ignitable or Reactive Waste

  (a) Except as provided in Subsection R315-264-312(b), and in Section R316-264-316, ignitable or reactive waste shall not be placed in a landfill, unless the waste and landfill meet all applicable requirements of Rule R315-268, and:

  (1) The resulting waste, mixture, or dissolution of material no longer meets the definition of ignitable or reactive waste under Sections R315-261-21 or 23; and

  (2) Subsection R315-264-17(b) is complied with.

  (b) Except for prohibited wastes which remain subject to treatment standards in Sections R315-268-40 through 49, ignitable wastes in containers may be landfilled without meeting the requirements of Subsection R315-264-312(a), provided that the wastes are disposed of in such a way that they are protected from any material or conditions which may cause them to ignite. At a minimum, ignitable wastes shall be disposed of in non-leaking containers which are carefully handled and placed so as to avoid heat, sparks, rupture, or any other condition that might cause ignition of the wastes; shall be covered daily with soil or other non-combustible material to minimize the potential for ignition of the wastes; and shall not be disposed of in cells that contain or will contain other wastes which may generate heat sufficient to cause ignition of the waste.
