commercial products or chemicals are included if the container is empty. A container is <br />empty when all wastes have been removed that can be removed using the practices <br />commonly employed to remove materials from that type of container (e.g., pouring, <br />pumping, or aspirating), an end has been removed (for containers in excess of 25 gallons), <br />and no more than one inch (2.54 centimeters) of residue remains on the bottom of the <br />container or inner liner, or no more than 3 percent by weight of the total capacity of the <br />container remains in the container (for containers more or less than 110 gallons) or no more <br />than 0.3 percent by weight of the total capacity of the container remains in the container (for <br />containers greater than 110 gallons). A container which once held ACUTELY <br />HAZARDOUS WASTES must be triple rinsed with an appropriate solvent or cleaned by an <br />equivalent method. Containers which once held substances regulated under the Federal <br />Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act must be empty according to label instructions <br />or triple rinsed. <br />3. Untreated biomedical waste. Any waste capable of inducing infection due to contamination <br />with infectious agents from a biomedical source including but not limited to a hospital, <br />medical clinic, nursing home, medical practitioner, mortuary, taxidermist, veterinarian, <br />veterinary hospital, animal testing laboratory or medical testing laboratory. Any sharps from <br />these sources must be rendered harmless or placed in needle puncture proof containers. <br />4. Treated medical waste. Any waste from a biomedical source including but not limited to a <br />hospital, medical clinic, nursing home, medical practitioner, mortuary, taxidermist, <br />veterinarian, veterinary hospital, animal testing laboratory, or medical testing laboratory <br />which has been autoclaved or otherwise heat treated or sterilized so that it is no longer <br />capable of inducing infection. Any sharps from these sources must be rendered harmless or <br />placed in needle puncture proof containers. Residue resulting from the incineration of <br />medical waste is a Type A Special Waste. <br />5. Residue/sludges from septic tanks, food service grease traps, or washwaters and wastewaters <br />from commercial laundries, Laundromats, and car washes. If these wastes are managed at a <br />public or commercial wastewater treatment works, they are not a Special Waste. <br />6. Chemical-containing equipment removed from service in which the chemical composition <br />and concentration are known (e.g., oil filters, cathode ray tubes, lab equipment, acetylene <br />tanks, fluorescent light tubes, etc.). <br />7. Waste produced from the demolition or dismantling of industrial process equipment or <br />facilities contaminated with chemicals from the industrial process. Chemicals or waste <br />removed or drained from such equipment for facilities are Type A Special Wastes. <br />8. Incinerator ash generated at a resource recovery facility that burns only nonhazardous <br />household, commercial or industrial waste and qualifies for the hazardous waste exclusion <br />in 40 CFR 261.4 (b). If the regulatory authority does not recognize the household hazardous <br />waste exclusion, then the ash is a Type A Special Waste. <br />FIFTH AMENDED LANDFILL SERVICE CONTRACT Pale 11 <br />
