Sec. 445.2 General definitions.
In addition to the definitions set forth in 40 CFR 122.2, 257.2,
258.2, 264.10, 265.10, 401.11, and 403.3 the following definitions apply
to this part:
(a) Contaminated ground water means water below the land surface in
the zone of saturation which has been contaminated by activities
associated with waste disposal.
(b) Contaminated storm water means storm water which comes in direct
contact with landfill wastes, the waste handling and treatment areas, or
landfill wastewater as defined in paragraph (f) of this section. Some
specific areas of a landfill that may produce contaminated storm water
include (but are not limited to): the open face of an active landfill
with exposed waste (no cover added); the areas around wastewater
treatment operations; trucks, equipment or machinery that has been in
direct contact with the waste; and waste dumping areas.
(c) Landfill directly associated with an industrial or commercial
operation means:
(1) A landfill located on the same site as industrial or commercial
operations; and
(2) A landfill not located on the same site as the industrial or
commercial operations (off-site), but ``wholly-owned'' by the industrial
or commercial facility and primarily dedicated to receiving waste from
the related industrial or commercial facility.
(d) Facility means all contiguous property owned, operated, leased
or under the control of the same person or entity.
(e) Landfill unit means an area of land or an excavation in which
wastes are placed for permanent disposal, that is not a land application
or land treatment unit, surface impoundment, underground injection well,
waste pile, salt dome formation, a salt bed formation, an underground
mine or a cave as these terms are defined in 40 CFR 257.2, 258.2 and
264.10.
(f) Landfill wastewater means all wastewater associated with, or
produced by, landfilling activities except for sanitary wastewater, non-
contaminated storm water, contaminated ground water, and wastewater from
recovery pumping wells. Landfill wastewater includes, but is not limited
to, leachate, gas collection condensate, drained free liquids,
laboratory derived wastewater, contaminated storm water and contact
washwater from washing truck, equipment, and railcar exteriors and
surface areas which have come in direct contact with solid waste at the
landfill facility.
(g) Non-contaminated storm water means storm water which does not
come in direct contact with landfill wastes, the waste handling and
treatment areas, or landfill wastewater that is defined in paragraph (f)
of this section. Non-contaminated storm water includes storm water which
flows off the cap, cover, intermediate cover, daily cover, and/or final
cover of the landfill.
