  • (a)  Except as provided for in Rule .1203 of this Section, CCPs shall not be distributed for use or used if the concentration of any pollutant during the performance of a Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure of the CCPs exceeds the leachate concentration of concern for that pollutant as stipulated in the following:

    Pollutant                                Leachate Concentration of Concern

                                                    (milligrams per liter)

    Arsenic                                                   5.0

    Barium                                                  100.0

    Cadmium                                              1.0

    Silver                                                      5.0

    (b)  Except as provided for in Rule .1203 of this Section, CCPs shall not be distributed for use or used if the concentration of any pollutant in the CCPs exceeds the ceiling concentration for that pollutant as stipulated in the following (i.e., on a dry weight basis):

    Pollutant                                Ceiling Concentration

                                                    (milligrams per kilogram)

    Arsenic                                                   75

    Cadmium                                              85

    Copper                                                   4,300

    Zinc                                                        7,500

    (c)  Except as provided for in Rule .1203 of this Section, CCPs shall not be distributed for use or used if the concentration of any pollutant in the CCPs exceeds the concentration for that pollutant as stipulated in the following (i.e., on a dry weight basis):

    Pollutant                                Monthly Average Concentration

                                                    (milligrams per kilogram)

    Arsenic                                                   41

    Mercury                                                 17

    Molybdenum                                       75

    Nickel                                                     420

    Selenium                                               100

    Zinc                                                        2,800

    (d)  CCPs may be distributed for use or used if the limits specified in Paragraphs (a), (b), or (c) of this Rule are not met provided that the following criteria are met:

    (1)           The potential release of pollutants from the CCPs to the environment is minimized to the extent practicable, and

    (2)           The applicant shall demonstrate to the Division the ability to meet the applicable surface water quality or groundwater quality standards at the compliance boundary at the site of use is demonstrated.
