<strong>Non</strong>-<strong>Combustible</strong>, <strong>Inert</strong> <strong>Wastes</strong> - Category 27 Industrial Solid Waste Management Procedures Typical Delivery Types truck and semi-loads bulk transport individual pieces Background For the purposes of this category, non-combustible inert wastes are non-hazardous, non-combustible, non-biodegradable, and chemically-inert solid wastes that are not likely to decompose significantly. These wastes tend to have a negligible potential to generate leachate, and are likely to retain their physical and chemical structure during the land disposal process. For the purpose of this Plan, non-combustible inert wastes include, but are not limited to: uncontaminated sand, soil, concrete, rubble, masonry, glass, pottery, ceramics, brick, tile, and remnants of metal from a manufacturing process or from non-manufacturing activities such as service and commercial establishments. When possible, non-combustible inert wastes are directed to other retail or reuse outlets. Disposal The waste material will be directed to the Kalmar Landfill. Testing Requirements In general, no analytical testing of the waste material is required; however, under certain circumstances additional testing may be required to ensure 1) the waste material is not a regulated hazardous waste and 2) the waste material is acceptable for disposal at an <strong>Olmsted</strong> <strong>County</strong> solid waste management facility. Furthermore, generators of non-combustible inert wastes that have a potential of containing free liquids (as defined by Minnesota Administrative Rules) must complete the Absence of Free Liquids Certification Form (see Page 3) and/or analyze a representative sample of the waste using analytical method SW-846 9095B, known as the “paint filter test.” Documentation A current, approved Industrial Solid Waste Evaluation Form must be on file with the <strong>Olmsted</strong> <strong>County</strong> Environmental Resources Department. The waste hauler must present a current, approved <strong>Non</strong>-Hazardous Industrial Solid Waste Tracking Form at the time of delivery. If required, the generator must complete and sign an Absence of Free Liquids Certification form prior to the time of delivery. Special Generator Requirements Generators of inert, bulky, and non-combustible waste that may have potentially been exposed to blood, body fluids, or other potentially infectious materials must ensure that no free liquids are present and that the waste material does not release blood, body fluids, or other infectious materials when compressed. Haulers of these waste materials must contact the Kalmar Landfill (507-285-8515) at least 24 hours prior to delivery, and all deliveries must occur prior to 12:00 p.m. Pg. 2 of 3
