"Terminate" means to accept the last delivery of waste. "Thermal treatment" means the treatment of hazardous waste in a device which uses elevated temperatures as the primary means to change the chemical, physical, or biological character or composition of the hazardous waste. Examples of thermal treatment processes are incineration, molten salt, pyrolysis, calcination, wet air oxidation and microwave discharge. (See also "incinerator"and "open burning.") "The State" means the State of California. "Thin-film evaporation operation" means a distillation operation that employs a heating surface consisting of a large diameter tube that may be either straight or tapered, horizontal or vertical. Liquid is spread on the tube wall by a rotating assembly of blades that maintain a close clearance from the wall or actually ride on the film of liquid on the wall. "Total threshold limit concentration" or "TTLC" means the concentration of a solubilized, extractable and nonextractable bioaccumulative or persistent toxic substance which, if equaled or exceeded in a waste, renders the waste hazardous. "Totally enclosed treatment facility" means a facility for the treatment of hazardous waste which is directly connected to an industrial production process and which is constructed and operated in a manner which prevents the release of any hazardous waste or any constituent thereof into the environment during treatment. An example is a pipe in which waste acid is neutralized. 'Toxic waste" means a hazardous waste designated as a toxic waste by the USEPA Administrator pursuant to 40 CFR section 261.11.

"Transportable Treatment Unif"means any mobile equipment which performs a "treatment" as defined in this section and which is transported onto a facility to perform treatment and which is not permanently stationed at a single facility. 'Transportation" means the movement of hazardous waste by air, rail, highway or water. "Transporter" means a person engaged in the offsite transportation of hazardous waste by air, rail, highway or water. "Treatability study"means either of the following, but does not include the commercial treatment or disposal of hazardous waste: (a) The application of a treatment process to a representative sample of hazardous waste to determine any of the following: (1) Whether the hazardous waste can be effectively treated by the treatment process employed in the treatability study. (2) What pretreatment, if any, is required. (3) The optimal conditions and processing techniques required to achieve the desired treatment. (4) The efficiency of a treatment process for a specific hazardous waste or wastes. (5) The characteristics and volumes of residual from a particular treatment process. https://gok.%estlaw.coMcalregs/DocummVl9F2AC74OD4BAl1DE8879F88EBBODAAAE'ere TWFullTe#&originationConteM=documenttoc&transibonTyp... 22J30
