7/15014 • View Document- California Code or Reg ulafig unloading its contents. "Vadose zone" see "Unsaturated zone." "Vapor incinerator' means any enclosed combustion device that is used for destroying organic compounds and does not extract energy in the form of steam or process heat. "Vapor -mounted seal" means a continuous seal that is mounted such that there is a vapor space between the hazardous waste in the unit and the bottom of the seal. "Variance" means a deviation from a provision of this division and chapter 6.5 of the Health and Safety Code authorized pursuant to section 66260.210 or Health and Safety Code section 25143. 'Vehicle" means a device by which any person or property, including waste, may be propelled, moved or drawn, excepting a device moved exclusively by human power. "Vehicle" also means a device bywhich any person or property, including waste, may be propelled, moved or drawn upon a highway, excepting a device moved exclusively by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks. "Vented" means discharged through an opening, typically an open-ended pipe or stack, allowing the passage of a stream of liquids, gases, or fumes into the atmosphere. The passage of liquids, gases, or fumes is caused by mechanical means such as compressors or vacuum -producing systems or by process -related means such as evaporation produced by heating and riot caused by tank loading and unloading (working losses) or by natural means such as diumal temperature changes. "Vessel" includes every description of watercraft, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on the water. "Volatile organic compound" means a compound which is a volatile organic compound according to Method No. 8240 in the Environmental Protection Agency Document No. Sw 846 (1982) or any equivalent, altemative method acceptable to the Department. 'Volatile organic concentration" or"VO concentration' means the fraction by weight of the volatile organic compounds contained in a hazardous waste expressed in terms of parts per million (ppmw) as determined by direct measurement or by knowledge of the waste in accordance with the requirements of section 66265.1084. For the purpose of determining the VO concentration of a hazardous waste, organic compounds with a Henrys law constant value of at least 0.1 mole-fracbon4rrthe-gas-phase/mole-fraction-in the liquid -phase (0.1 Y/X) (which can also be expressed as 1.8 x 10'6 atmospheres/gram-Mole/M3) at 25 degrees Celsius must be included. Appendix VI of chapter 15, article 30 presents a list of compounds known to have a Henrys law constant valueless than the cutoff level. "Waste" means waste as defined in section 66261.2. is constituent" means a constituent that is reasonably expected to be in or derived from waste contained in a regulated unit. "Waste determination" means performing all applicable procedures in accordance with the requirements of section 66265.1084 to determine whether a hazardous waste meets standards +specified in chapters 14 and 15. Examples of a waste determination include performing the procedures in accordance with the requirements of section 66265.1084 to determine the average VO concentration of a hazardous waste at the point of waste origination; the average VO concentration of a hazardous waste at the point of waste treatment and comparing the results to the exit concentration limit specified for the process used to treat the hazardous waste; the organic reduction efficiency and the organic biodegradation efficiency for a biological process used to treat a hazardous waste and comparing the results to the applicable standards; or the maximum volatile organic vapor pressure for a hazardous waste in a tank and comparing the results to the applicable standards. "Waste pile" see "Pile." "Waste stabilization process" means any physical or chemical process used to either reduce the mobility of hazardous constituents in a hazardous waste or eliminate free liquids as determined byTest Method 9095 (Paint Filter Liquids Test) in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA Publication No. SW -846, Third Edition, September 1986, as amended by Update I, November 15,1992 (incorporated by reference -refer to section 66260.11). A waste stabilization process includes mixing the hazardous waste with binders or other materials, and curing the resulting hazardous waste and binder mixture. Other synonymous terms used to refer to this process are "waste fixation" or "waste solidification." This does not include the adding of absorbent materials to the surface of a waste, without mixing, agitation, or subsequent curing, to absorb free liquid. "Wastewaters" means, for the purposes of chapter 18 of this division, wastes that contain less than one percent byweight total organic carbon (TOC) and less than one percent by weight total suspended solids (TSS). "Wastewater treatment unit" means a device which (a) is part of a wastewater treatment facility which is subject to regulation under either section 402 (33 U.S.C. section 1317) or 307(b) (33 U.S.C. section 1342) of the Federal Clean Water Act; and (b) receives and treats or stores an influent wastewater which is a hazardous waste as defined in chapter 11 of this division, or that generates and accumulates a wastewater treatment sludge which is a hazardous waste as defined in chapter 11 of this division, or treats or stores a wastewater treatment sludge which is a hazardous waste as defined in chapter 11 of this division; and (c) meets the definition of tank or tank system in this section. "Water (bulk shipment)" means the bulk transportation of hazardous waste which is loaded or carried on board a vessel without https://gok.wesflaw.comfealregsIDmum ntR9F2AC740D4BA11DE8B79F88E8BODAAAENTWFullTe)t&originaUmCwte#=docune ftw&tramifionTW... 24130
