"Construction and demolition wastes" include bricks, wood, paving, building <br />materials and rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, repair and <br />demolition. <br />"Dedicated boiler" means a boiler designed and built to burn a specific fuel <br />such as refuse -derived fuel or mixed municipal solid waste. <br />"Environmentally sensitive areas" includes areas that are important from an <br />ecological or natural resources management standpoint. They may include, but <br />are not limited to, protected wetlands, floodplains, and critical habitats of <br />endangered species. Areas specifically managed by a governmental agency or <br />private organization for their ecological values (for example, fish and wild- <br />life) constitute ecologically sensitive areas as well. <br />"Ferrous scrap" consists of scrap iron and steel items, including steel food <br />and beverage cans. Iron and steel scrap is any waste material to which a <br />magnet adheres. Bi-metal cans (ferrous cans with an alumnirm top) are classi- <br />fied as ferrous scrap, as is any item that is at least 15 percent ferrous by <br />volume. Stainless steel scrap (a shiny metal product used for its noncor- <br />rosive property and commonly found in appliances and kitchen counter tops) is <br />considered ferrous. <br />"Ferrous containers" are steel and bimetal food or beverage cans and small, <br />clean metal pails. <br />"Glass bottles and jars" consist only of glass, food and beverage containers. <br />"Hazardous waste" means any refuse or discarded material, or a combination of <br />refuse or discarded materials, in solid, semisolid, liquid, or gaseous form, <br />that cannot be handled by routine waste management techniques because it poses <br />a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or other living <br />organisms because of its chemical, biological or physical properties. Categor- <br />ies of hazardous waste materials include, but are not limited to explosives, <br />flammables, oxidizers, poisons, irritants and corrosives. <br />"Identified recoverable materials" or "identified recyclables" means materials <br />that can be separated from solid waste and recovered for reuse in their orig- <br />inal form or for use in manufacturing and which have been identified in the <br />Council's solid waste guide. (See Table 4-5) <br />"Industrial solid waste" is solid waste resulting from industrial processes and <br />manufacturing. It does not include hazardous wastes. <br />"Land disposal" means the depositing of waste materials in a sanitary landfill. <br />"Land disposal facility" means a waste facility permitted by WCA that is <br />designed or operated for the purpose of disposing of waste on or in the land. <br />"Land disposal site capacity" means the volume of space that is permitted to be <br />filled at a land disposal site. <br />"Leachate" is water that has percolated through, or has been in contact with, <br />solid wastes and contains waste contaminants removed from the solid wastes. <br />A6 <br />
