Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 808.APPENDIX B
a) The wastestream equivalent toxic concentration (Ceq) is calculated as follows:
4) A is a constant equal to 300; and
BOARD NOTE: A is a constant used to allow the entry of percent values for Ci, and to adjust the results so that a reference material, 100 percent copper sulfate, with an oral toxicity of 300 mg/kg, achieves an equivalent toxic concentration of 100.
Ceq = A * SUM(Ci / Bi * Ti)
where:
b) The toxic amount (M) is calculated as follows:
M = S * Ceq
where:
c) The toxic score is calculated as follows:
4) If the toxic amount is greater than or equal to 10,000, the toxic score is 3.
BOARD NOTE: 100 kg/month of the reference material, 100 percent copper sulfate, has a "toxic amount" of 10,000, defining the boderline between a "toxic score" of 2 or 3 for a small quantity generator.
d) The toxic score shall be used as follows:
e) The environmental fate score (F) is calculated as follows:
F = SUM(Ci * Li)
where:
f) adjusted toxic score as follows:
h) Sources of toxicity data.
2) Carcinogens and mutagens. If available, use a TD50 oral rat to represent toxicity based on carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. Otherwise:
3) Toxicity values shall be selected according to the following criteria:
B) Toxicity values are ranked by source according to the following priorities, with the sources listed in descending order of priority.
i) Conversion factors for equivalent oral toxicities. The following conversion factors must be used to convert toxicity values to equivalent oral toxicities (Bi) (If a carcinogen or mutagen is assigned a value for Ti in the absence of a TD50, Bi is assigned a value of 1.):
| Toxicity measure | Units | Bi |
| Oral – LD50 | mg/kg | 1. |
| Carcinogen/mutagen – TD50 | mg/kg | 1. |
| Aquatic – 48 or 96 hour LC50 | ppm | 5. |
| Inhalation – LC50 | mg/1 | 25. |
| Dermal – LD50 | mg/kg | 0.25 |
j) Environmental levels. If the waste constituent is innocuous, the environmental level (Li) is equal to 0. Otherwise, Li for a component is the highest level for that constituent in the following table, based on bioaccumulation, persistence and solubility. (If a value on the boundary between ranges, the higher value of Li is used.):
| Bioaccumulation | Persistence | Solubility | Li | ||||||
| Min. | Max. | Min. | Max. | Min. | Max. | ||||
| 5 | _ _ _ | 365 | _ _ _ | 10,000 | _ _ _ | 3 | |||
| 4 | 5 | 30 | 365 | 1000 | 10,000 | 2 | |||
| 0 | 4 | 0 | 30 | 0 | 1000 | 1 | |||
k) Persistence. If available, a value for persistence, measured, pursuant to subsection (k)(1), must be used. Otherwise, the table of subsection (k)(2) must be used.
2) Persistence may be estimated using the following table. (The longest half-life indicated must be used for constituents which fit into more than one category):
| Type of Compound or Material | Half Life (days) |
| Metal, metal oxide or inorganic oxide | 366 |
| Inorganic salts | 366 |
| Asbestos | 366 |
| Clay | 366 |
| Plastics or polymers | 366 |
| Pesticides | 366 |
| Halogenated hydrocarbons | 366 |
| Polyaromatic hydrocarbons and biphenyls | 366 |
| Phthalate esters | 366 |
| Paper products | 366 |
| Fats, oils and greases | 366 |
| Resins and pigments | 366 |
| Aromatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons | 31 |
| Aliphatic hydrocarbons | |
| More than 10 carbons | 31 |
| 10 carbons or less | 1 |
| Waste constituents not otherwise listed | 366 |
This Appendix describes the method by which a generator of special waste or the waste source shall determine the toxic score for a waste.
