(1) Any facility that disposes of nonhazardous waste, hazardous waste, or radioactive waste containing PCBs is regulated by Rules R315-301 through 320.
(2) The following wastes containing PCBs may be disposed in a permitted Class I, II, III, IV, V, or VI Landfill; permitted incinerator; permitted energy recovery facility; or a facility permitted by rule under Rule R315-318:
(a) waste, as specified by 40 CFR 761.61, containing PCBs at concentrations less than 50 ppm;
(b) PCB household waste as defined by 40 CFR 761.3 ; and
(c) small quantities, 10 or fewer, of intact, non-leaking, small PCB capacitors, including capacitors from fluorescent lights x-ray machines, and other machines and test equipment.
(3) Waste containing PCBs at concentrations of 50 ppm or higher are prohibited from disposal in a landfill, incinerator, or energy recovery facility that is regulated by Rules R315-301 through 320, except:
(a) the following facilities may receive waste containing PCBs at concentrations of 50 ppm or higher for treatment or disposal:
(i) a facility permitted prior to July 15, 1993 under 40 CFR 761.70, .75 or .77; or
(ii) a facility permitted after July 15, 1993 under 40 CFR 761.70, .71, .72, .75, or .77 and approved by the Director under Rules R315-301 through 320; or

(vi) non-liquid PCB containing waste, initially generated as a non-liquid waste, generated as a result of research and development regulated by 40 CFR 761.64(b)(2).
(c) If a unit of a permitted landfill is approved to receive PCB containing wastes under Subsection R315-315-7(3)(b), the owner or operator of the landfill:
(i) shall modify the approved Ground Water Monitoring Plan to include the testing of the ground water samples for PCB containing constituents at appropriate detection levels; and
(ii) shall test the leachate generated at the unit of the landfill for PCB's.
