Section 726.355  Waste No Longer Eligible for a Storage and Treatment Conditional Exemption

a)         When a generator's LLMW has met the requirements of its federal NRC or IEMA license for decay-in-storage and can be disposed of as non-radioactive waste, then the conditional exemption for storage no longer applies. On that date the generator's waste is subject to hazardous waste regulation under the relevant provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 720 through 728, and 738, and the time period for accumulation of a hazardous waste, as specified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.116 or 722.117 begins.

b)         When a generator's conditionally exempt LLMW, which has been generated and stored under a single federal NRC or IEMA license number, is removed from storage, it is no longer eligible for the storage and treatment exemption.  However, a generator's waste may be eligible for the transportation and disposal conditional exemption at Section 726.405.
