Section 327IAC6.1-4-11. Land application of paper waste

   (a) Any person who is applying for a permit to land apply paper waste shall analyze the paper waste using EPA Method 1613 B* to determine the total toxic equivalency factor (TEF) for tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) and tetrachlorodibenzo-p-furan (2,3,7,8-TCDF) where:

Total TEF = 2,3,7,8-TCDD + 0.1(2,3,7,8-TCDF)

  (b) Rather than conduct a new analysis under subsection (a), a person who prepares a biosolid or industrial waste product and that applies for a permit renewal to land apply paper waste may submit results of an analysis for 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF by EPA Method 1613 B* that is up to one (1) year old if the applicant also provides a signed statement that:

(1) the analysis is representative of the paper waste currently being produced; and

(2) no significant manufacturing or waste treatment process changes have been made.

  (c) Land application of any paper waste with a total toxic equivalency factor for 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF that is greater than or equal to seventy-five (75) parts per trillion is prohibited.

  (d) Land application of any paper waste with a total toxic equivalency factor for 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF that is less than seventy-five (75) parts per trillion must be in accordance with applicable permit conditions.

  (e) For purposes of this section, paper waste means a solid waste generated in the production or recycling of paper or paper-like products.
