consideration, of PCB waste generated off site by generators other than the
owner and operator of the facility.
    (3)  "Department" means the Idaho department of environmental quality.
    (4)  "Director" means the director of the Idaho department of
environmental quality or the director's authorized agent.
    (5)  "Disposal" means to intentionally or accidentally discard, throw
away, or otherwise complete or terminate the useful life of PCB waste within a
PCB waste facility or site. Disposal includes spills, leaks, and other
uncontrolled discharges of PCB waste as well as actions related to
containment, destruction, degradation, decontamination or storage of PCB waste
within a PCB waste facility or site.
    (6)  "Generator" means any person, who by virtue of ownership, management,
or control, is responsible for causing or allowing to be caused the creation
of a PCB waste.
    (7)  "Manifest" means a form used for identifying the quantity,
composition, origin, routing, waste identification code(s), and destination of
PCB waste during any transportation from the point of generation to the point
of treatment, storage or disposal.
    (8)  "PCB" means polychlorinated biphenyl.
    (9)  "PCB waste" means any waste or waste item which is contaminated with
PCB.
    (10) "PCB waste facility or site" means any property, structure, or
ancillary equipment intended or used for the disposal of PCB wastes.
    (11) "Person" means any individual, association, partnership, firm, joint

instrumentality, or any other legal entity which is recognized by law as the

the biphenyl molecule that has been chlorinated to varying degrees.
    (13) "Storage" means the containment of PCB wastes, on a temporary basis
or for a period of years, in such a manner as to not constitute disposal of
such PCB wastes.
    (14) "Transportation" means the movement of any PCB waste to or from a PCB
waste facility or site.
    (15) "Transporter" means any person who transports a PCB waste to or from
a PCB waste facility or site.
    (16) "Treatment" means any method, technique, or process, including
neutralization, which is designed not to be an integral part of a production
process, but which is rather designed to change the physical, chemical, or
biological character or composition of any PCB waste prior to storage or final
disposal so as to neutralize such waste or so as to render such waste
nonhazardous or less hazardous; safer to transport, store, or dispose of; or
amenable for recovery, amenable for storage or reduced in volume. Such term
includes any activity or processing designed to change the physical form or
chemical composition of PCB waste to render it nonhazardous.
    (17) "TSCA" means the toxic substances control act, as amended, 15 U.S.C.,
section 2601, et seq.
    (18) "Waste" means any solid, semisolid, liquid or contained gaseous
