“Chemical toilet additive” means any chemical substance, biological agent, other material or formulation thereof, which is employed
<br />for the primary purpose of controlling waste decomposition and odors in a chemical toilet holding tank or any tank in which chemical
<br />toilet wastes are held, collected or transported. The term “chemical toilet additive” includes, but is not limited to, a chemical
<br />substance, biological agent or other material which is a deodorant, bactericide, bacteriostat, microbiocide, chemical reactant,
<br />surfactant or enzymatic agent.
<br />“Chemical toilet waste” means the waste in or from a chemical toilet.
<br />“Chronic toxicity” means the ability of a substance or mixture of substances to cause injury, illness or damage to humans, animals or
<br />other living organisms by prolonged or repeated exposure or consumption over a period of days, weeks, months or years.
<br />“Class I Violation” means:
<br />(a) a deviation from the requirements specified in Chapter 6.5 of Division 20 of the Health and Safety Code, or regulations,
<br />permit or interim status document conditions, standards, or requirements adopted pursuant to that chapter, that represents a
<br />significant threat to human health or safety or the environment, because of (1) the volume of the waste; (2) the relative hazard of
<br />the waste; or (3) the proximity of the population at risk, or that is significant enough that it could result in a failure to accomplish
<br />the following:
<br />(A) Assure that hazardous wastes are destined for and delivered to an authorized hazardous waste facility;
<br />(B) Prevent releases of hazardous waste or constituents to the environment during the active or post closure period of facility
<br />operation;
<br />(C) Assure early detection of such releases;
<br />(D) Assure adequate financial resources in the case of releases; or
<br />(E) Assure adequate financial resources to pay for facility closure;
<br />(F) Perform emergency clean-up operation or other corrective action for releases; or
<br />(b) The deviation is a Class II violation which is a chronic violation or committed by a recalcitrant violator.
<br />“Class II Violation” means a deviation from the requirements specified in Chapter 6.5 of Division 20 of the Health and Safety Code, or
<br />regulations, permit or interim status document conditions standards, or requirements adopted pursuant to that chapter, that is not a
<br />Class I violation.
<br />“Closed portion” means that portion of a facility which an owner or operator has closed in accordance with the approved facility
<br />closure plan and all applicable closure requirements and for which the Department has released the owner and operator from the
<br />financial assurance requirements for closure under section 66264.143(j) or section 66265.143(i).
<br />For the purposes of chapters 14 and 15, “Closed-vent system” means a system that is not open to the atmosphere and that is
<br />composed of piping, connections, and, if necessary, flow-inducing devices that transport gas or vapor from a piece or pieces of
<br />equipment to a control device.
<br />“Closure” means the act of closing a hazardous waste management facility or hazardous waste management unit to pursuant the
<br />requirements of chapters 14 and 15 of this division.
<br />“Closure device” means a cap, hatch, lid, plug, seal, valve, or other type of fitting that blocks an opening in a cover such that when
<br />the device is secured in the closed position it prevents or reduces air pollutant emissions to the atmosphere. Closure devices include
<br />devices that are detachable from the cover (e.g., a sampling port cap), manually operated (e.g., a hinged access lid or hatch), or
<br />automatically operated (e.g., a spring-loaded pressure relief valve).
<br />“Closure period” means the period during which a unit at a hazardous waste management facility is being closed according to an
<br />approved closure plan.
<br />“Closure plan” means the plan for closure prepared in accordance with section 66264.112 or section 66265.112.
<br />“Commence” means to receive the first delivery of waste.
<br />“Component” means any constituent part of a unit or any group of constituent parts of a unit which are assembled to perform a
<br />specific function (e.g., a tank or ancillary equipment of a tank system, a pump seal, pump, kiln liner, kiln thermocouple).
<br />“Concentration limit” means the value for a constituent specified in the water quality protection standard or environmental protection
<br />standard including, but not limited to, values for concentration, temperature, pH, conductivity and resistivity.
<br />For the purposes of chapters 14 and 15, “Condenser” means a heat-transfer device that reduces a thermodynamic fluid from its
<br />vapor phase to its liquid phase.
<br />“Confined aquifer” means an aquifer bounded above and below by impermeable beds or by beds of distinctly lower permeability than
<br />that of the aquifer itself; an aquifer containing confined ground water.
