1.
Hazardous wastes.
2.
Generally, wastes that may not be hazardous but contain constituents that
upon contact with water, soil, air or other wastes at the landfill site, due to
their own characteristics or properties, or in cumulative quantities can cause
or result in;
a) combustion, toxicity, reactivity, corrosiveness, harmful air emissions,
explosions,
objectionable odours, excessive settlement of cover; or
b) production or generation of excess landfill gases or excess contaminants in
landfill gases such as methane, carbon monoxide, ozone, hydrogen sulfide,
volatile organic compounds, nitrous oxides, chlorofluorohydrocarbons or
other
gases considered toxic, corrosive or reactive, over and above what would
normally be encountered at a natural attenuation municipal landfill site; or
c) production or generation of excess leachate or excess contaminants in
leachate
at the landfill site over and above what would normally be encountered at a
natural attenuation municipal landfill site; or
d) contamination of groundwater or surface waters with toxic, combustible,
reactive
or corrosive materials or objectionable tastes, odours or discolourations or
such
ground or surface water; or
e) excess dust, suspended particulate matter or litter in the air; or
f) proliferation of disease vectors, rodents, vermin, harmful bacteria, viruses
and
other pathogens; or
g) safety hazards for operational personnel and users of the site; or
h) emit objectionable odours, cause stress on vegetation or remain persistently
in
the environment; or
i) migration of any of the above off site and shall include but not be limited to
the
following specific prohibited items:

contaminated liquid wastes;
(ii)
liquid domestic sewage;
