This prohibition does not apply to unexploded ordnance and other explosive devices which have been the subject of an emergency response. (Such D003 wastes are prohibited unless they meet the treatment standard of DEACT before land disposal (see section 66268.40)).

In addition, soil and debris contaminated with these radioactive mixed wastes are prohibited from land disposal.

(e) Between July 8, 1996, and April 8, 1998, the wastes included in subsections (a), (c), and (d) of this section may be disposed in a landfill or surface impoundment, only if such unit is in compliance with the requirements specified in section 66268.5(h)(2).

(f) The requirements of subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) of this section do not apply if:

(1) The wastes meet the applicable treatment standards specified in article 4 of this chapter;

(2) Persons have been granted an exemption from a prohibition pursuant to a petition under section 66268.6, with respect to those wastes and units covered by the petition;

(4) Persons have been granted an extension to the effective date of a prohibition pursuant to section 66268.5, with respect to these wastes covered by the extension.

(g) To determine whether a hazardous waste identified in this section exceeds the applicable treatment standards specified in section 66268.40, the initial generator shall test a sample of the waste extract or the entire waste, depending on whether the treatment standards are expressed as concentrations in the waste extract or the waste, or the generator may use knowledge of the waste. If the waste contains constituents in excess of the applicable article 4 levels, the waste is prohibited from land disposal, and all requirements of this chapter are applicable, except as otherwise specified.
