Section 724.950  Applicability

a)         The regulations in this Subpart BB apply to owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes (except as provided in Section 724.101).

b)         Except as provided in Section 724.964(k), this Subpart BB applies to equipment that contains or contacts hazardous wastes with organic concentrations of at least 10 percent by weight that are managed in one of the following:

1)         A unit that is subject to the RCRA permitting requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 705;

2)         A unit (including a hazardous waste recycling unit) that is not exempt from permitting under the provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.117 (i.e., a hazardous waste recycling unit that is not a "90-day" tank or container) and that is located at a hazardous waste management facility otherwise subject to the permitting requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 705; or

3)         A unit that is exempt from permitting under the provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.117 (i.e., a "90-day" tank or container) and which is not a recycling unit under the provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.106.

c)         Until the owner or operator receives a final permit incorporating the requirements of this Subpart BB, the owner or operator is subject to the requirements of Subpart BB of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.

d)         Each piece of equipment to which this Subpart BB applies must be marked in such a manner that it can be distinguished readily from other pieces of equipment.

e)         Equipment that is in vacuum service is excluded from the requirements of Sections 724.952 to 724.960, if it is identified as required in Section 724.964(g)(5).

f)         Equipment that contains or contacts hazardous waste with an organic concentration of at least 10 percent by weight for less than 300 hours per calendar year is excluded from the requirements of Sections 724.952 through 724.960 if it is identified as required in Section 724.964(g)(6).

g)         This subsection (g) corresponds with 40 CFR 264.1050(g), which relates exclusively to a facility outside Illinois.  This statement maintains structural consistency with the corresponding federal regulations.
