1.	That the waste is listed as a hazardous waste in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart D, solely because it is ignitable (Hazard Code I), corrosive (Hazard Code C), or both; or

2.	That the waste is listed as a hazardous waste in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart D, solely because it is reactive (Hazard Code R) for characteristics other than those listed in §261.23(a)(4) and (5), and will not be burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the combustion zone; or

3.	That the waste is a hazardous waste solely because it possesses the characteristic of ignitability, corrosivity, or both, as determined by the tests for characteristics of hazardous wastes under 40 CFR part 261, Subpart C; or

4.	That the waste is a hazardous waste solely because it possesses the reactivity characteristics listed in §261.23(a)(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), or (8); and that it will not be burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the combustion zone.

B.	Submit the results of a trial burn conducted in accordance with and including all the determinations required by the following:

1.	The trial burn must be conducted in accordance with a trial burn plan prepared by the applicant and approved by the Chief. Conditions in the permit will be based on results of the trial burn. The trial burn plan will include the following information:
