(b) Wastes generated from foundry operations including air pollution control dust, water pollution control wastes, unspent foundry sand, spent foundry sand, and other foundry wastes with similar characteristics that are approved by the director.
(c) Wastes generated from pulp and papermaking operations including water pollution control wastes, lime mud, lime grit, sawdust, wood chips, bark, hydropulper rejects, and other pulp and papermaking wastes with similar characteristics that are approved by the director.
(d) Wastes generated from steelmaking operations including air pollution control dust, water pollution control wastes, dust from steel processing and finishing operations, water softening sludge, flux material, and other steelmaking wastes with similar characteristics that are approved by the director.
(e) Wastes generated from gypsum processing plant operations including gypsum wallboard waste, paper surface preparation dust, water pollution control wastes, and other gypsum processing wastes with similar characteristics that are approved by the director.
(f) Wastes generated from lime processing operations including air pollution control dust or sludge and other lime processing wastes with similar characteristics that are approved by the director.
(g) Wastes generated from portland cement operations including air pollution control dust and other processing wastes with similar characteristics that are approved by the director.
(h) Wastes generated by manufacturing or industrial operations, other than those listed in paragraphs (I)(1)(a) to (I)(1)(g) of this rule. These solid wastes do not include solid waste generated by commercial operations including stores, offices, restaurants, and warehouses; agricultural operations; or community operations including residents, hotels, motels, bunkhouses, ranger stations, crew quarters, campgrounds, picnic grounds, and day-use recreation areas.
(2) "Industrial landfill facility" or "industrial landfill" is a sanitary landfill facility where one or any combination of IMW specified in paragraph (I)(1) of this rule are exclusively disposed. Nontoxic fly ash, nontoxic bottom ash, and nontoxic spent foundry sand may also be disposed at an industrial landfill facility.
[Comment: Prior to the effective date of this rule, industrial solid waste, regulated pursuant to Chapter 3745-29 of the Administrative Code, was disposed in a landfill meeting standards largely equivalent to an industrial landfill.]
