Section 459.8305 - Minimum requirements for stability of wastesThe minimum requirements for the stability of wastes are as follows:
1. Waste must have structural stability and generally maintain its physical dimensions and its form under the expected conditions of disposal and its internal factors such as the effects of radiation and chemical changes. Structural stability may be provided by the form of the waste, the processing of the waste to a stable form or by placing the waste in a container for disposal or other structure that provides stability after disposal.2. Liquid wastes or waste containing liquid must be converted into a form that contains as little free standing and noncorrosive liquid as is reasonably achievable, but in no case may the liquid exceed 1 percent of the volume of the waste if the waste is in a container for disposal which is designed to ensure stability, or 0.5 percent of the volume of the waste if the waste is processed to a stable form.3. Any space within the waste or between the waste and its package must be reduced to the extent practicable.Nev. Admin. Code § 459.8305
