      (2)   Those P-code listed hazardous wastes that are normally liquids or gases at a pressure of one atmosphere and a temperature of 90°F shall each be restricted according to the following methodology, as appropriate.
      (3)   P-code hazardous wastes which can be modeled on ALOHA.
         (a)   For P-code listed hazardous wastes having a published IDLH concentration, and all of the physical property data required to competently model a release of the compound utilizing the ALOHA program or an alternate recognized modeling program mutually acceptable to both the owner and operator and HDEM, the owner or operator of the facility shall, at its expense, model a release and set the maximum allowable concentration of each of the aforementioned P-code listed hazardous wastes in a hazardous waste shipment using the following formula:
Max. Concentration   =   (Allowable IDLH/20)   x   (100%)
            (Predicted ALOHA concentration)
where:
The ALOHA concentration shall be modeled using the following methodology:
            1.   Wind speed shall be 15 miles per hour from the east.
            2.   The point of accidental release shall be the facility’s hazardous waste unloading rack.
            3.   The volume of the spill shall be the entire 5,000-gallon contents of a tank truck containing a 100% concentration of the respective P-code listed hazardous waste.
            4.   Ambient air temperature shall be 90°F.
            5.   The receptor shall be located 1,125 feet due west from the source of the spill; for Rhone-Poulenc Basic Chemicals Co.’s facility it shall be the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Indianapolis Boulevard.
            6.   The surface area of the spill shall be the entire surface area of the containment dike enclosing the hazardous waste tank truck unloading spot.
         (b)   However, in no event shall the allowable concentration of any individual liquid or gaseous P-code listed hazardous waste as calculated under the provisions of division (B)(3)(a) of this section exceed 10% by weight of the hazardous waste shipment.
         (c)   The owner or operator of the facility shall provide copies of all data used for, and results of, the modeling to HDEM within 10 calendar days after receipt of a written request for same.
            1.   HDEM shall have the right to perform the modeling according to the methodology set forth in this section for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the information provided by the owner or operator of the facility.
            2.   In the event that HDEM’s modelling results differ from those reported by the owner or operator, the results which predict the higher ALOHA concentration will be used to establish the maximum allowable concentration of the P-code listed hazardous waste in the hazardous waste shipment.
            3.   In the event that the owner or operator disagrees with the modelling results obtained by HDEM, it shall have the right to request that the modelling be verified by an independent third party consultant or contractor qualified to perform such modelling and acceptable to both HDEM and the owner or operator.
            4.   The modelling shall be performed in accordance with the methodology set forth in this section, shall be performed at the sole expense of the owner or operator, and the results of same shall be the basis for establishing the maximum allowable concentration of the P-code listed hazardous waste in the hazardous waste shipment.
      (4)   P-code hazardous wastes which can not be modeled on ALOHA.
         (a)   For P-code listed hazardous wastes having no published IDLH concentration and/or incomplete physical property data required to competently model a release of the compound on the ALOHA program, the maximum allowable concentration of any given P-code listed hazardous waste in the hazardous waste shipment shall be established by the following table:
