These hazardous wastes are subject to regulation according to the provisions of 38 M.R.S.A., §1301, et seq. and to this and other rules adopted thereunder. l. Legal Authority. This rule is authorized and adopted under 38 M.R.S.A. §1319-O (1) and is intended to be consistent with applicable requirements of The Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. 6901, et seq. and regulations promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) thereunder. 2. Preamble. It is the purpose of the Department of Environmental Protection, consistent with legislative policy, to provide effective controls for the management of hazardous wastes. This rule is promulgated to identify hazardous wastes so that effective management measures can be implemented. 3. Definitions. The following terms as used throughout this rule shall have the following meaning unless the context indicates otherwise: A. Generator. "Generator" means a person whose act or process produces a waste which is or may be hazardous or whose act first causes a hazardous waste to become subject to regulation. B. Large Quantity Generator. “Large Quantity Generator” means a generator that does any one of the following: (1) Generates more than 100 kilograms (approximately 27 gallons) per month of hazardous waste, (2) Generates more than 1 kilogram of acute hazardous waste per month, (3) Accumulates more than 600 kilograms (approximately 165 gallons) of hazardous waste at any one time, (4) Accumulates more than 1 kilogram of acute hazardous waste at any one time, or (5) Accumulates acute hazardous waste in a container that is larger than 20 liters in capacity. C. Small Quantity Generator. “Small Quantity Generator” means a generator that does all of the following: (1) Generates less than 100 kilograms (approximately 27 gallons) of hazardous waste per month, (2) Accumulates a total of no more than 200 kilograms (or 55 gallons) of hazardous waste at any one time, and (3) Accumulates 1 kilogram or less, or 20 liters or less of acute hazardous waste at any one time. D. Small Quantity Generator Plus. “Small Quantity Generator Plus” means a generator that does all of the following: Chapter 850: Identification of Hazardous Wastes - 1 - 06-096 DEPARTMENT OF ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTION (1) Generates less than 100 kilograms (approximately 27 gallons) of hazardous waste per month, (2) Accumulates over 200 kilograms (or 55 gallons), but less than 600 kilograms (or 165 gallons) of hazardous waste at any one time, and (3) Accumulates 1 kilogram or less, or 20 liters or less of acute hazardous waste at any one time. 4. Identification of Hazardous Wastes A. General (1) This rule identifies those wastes which are subject to regulation as hazardous wastes under 38 M.R.S.A., §1301, et seq. (2) Portions of this rule refer to federal regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Unless otherwise specified, the federal regulations referenced are those interim final or final regulations revised as of July 1, 1988, as they appeared in volume 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
