(a)(1) Effective January 1, 1995 or the effective date of the applicable treatment standard found in chapter 18 of division 4.5 of Titles 22 and 26 of California Code of Regulations, whichever is later, all nonliquid hazardous waste, bulk or containerized, shall contain less than 50 percent moisture by weight prior to disposal in a hazardous waste a landfill.

(2) The requirements in (a)(1) cannot be met by adding material that acts solely as a sorbent, unless determined to be nonbiodegradable in accordance with section 66264.314(d) and waste is disposed in a container, or diluting agent.

The moisture content shall be determined by pulverizing the entire sample coarsely on a clean surface by hand, using rubber gloves. Twenty-five to 50 grams shall be placed in a prepared evaporating dish and weighed. The sample shall then be placed in an oven at 103 to 105 degrees centigrade for 1 hour. The dish shall be cooled in a desiccator to 20 degrees centigrade for 1 hour and then reweighed. The cycle of drying, cooling, and weighing shall be repeated until a constant weight is obtained or until the weight loss is less than 4 percent of the previous weight.

(b) The calculation in subsection (a) shall be in accordance with the following formula:

Percent Moisture = [(A-B)/(A-C)] x 100

Where:

A = Weight of evaporating dish and original sample, grams

B = Weight of evaporating dish and oven dried sample, grams

C = Weight of evaporating dish, grams.

(c)(1) Lab Packs as defined in section 66264.316 are exempt from section 66264.318(a).

(2) Asbestos-containing waste is exempt from section 66264.318(a) if the waste is disposed according to the requirements of the regional water quality control board in (1) a class I landfill, or (2) segregated areas within a nonclass I landfill.
