Silver                                                      5.0

(b)  Except as provided for in Rule .1203 of this Section, CCPs shall not be distributed for use or used if the concentration of any pollutant in the CCPs exceeds the ceiling concentration for that pollutant on a dry weight basis as follows:

Pollutant                                                Ceiling Concentration

(milligrams per kilogram)

Zinc                                                        7,500

(c)  Except as provided for in Rule .1203 of this Section, CCPs shall not be distributed for use or used if the concentration of any pollutant in the CCPs exceeds the concentration for that pollutant on a dry weight basis as follows:

Pollutant                                                Monthly Average Concentration

(milligrams per kilogram) 

Arsenic                                                   41

Cadmium                                              39

Zinc                                                        2,800

(d)  CCPs may be distributed for use or used if the limits specified in Paragraphs (a), (b), or (c) of this Rule are not met if the following criteria are met:

(1)           the potential release of pollutants from the CCPs to the environment is minimized to the extent practicable; and

(2)           the applicant demonstrates that it will meet the applicable surface water and groundwater quality standards at the compliance boundary at the site of use.
