This terms refers to space in a structure for living, sleeping, eating, or cooking. Bathrooms, toilet compartments, closets, halls, storage or utility space, and similar areas, are not considered habitable space.
Hazardous areas are those areas subject to or containing elements which pose a potential threat to life or property. Floodplains, earthquake fault zones, nuclear or chemical waste disposal sites, or areas of inherently unsafe soil conditions are examples of hazardous areas.
An unattended pit, shaft, portal, or other surface opening which, if not secured by covering, fencing, or having its access restricted by gates, doors, or other reasonable means, presents a threat to the physical safety of the public.
This terms shall mean any land which is covered with grass, grain, brush, or forest, whether privately or publicly owned, which is so situated or is of such inaccessible location that a fire originating upon such land would present an abnormally difficult job of suppression or would result in great and unusual damage through fire or resulting erosion.
A material or waste or combination of materials and wastes which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may either:
Cause, or significantly contribute to, an increase in mortality, serious irreversible illness, or incapacitating reversible illness; or
Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise managed.
The terms means any of the following:
A waste or combination of wastes which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may either:
Cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible or incapacitating reversible illness.
Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed.
A waste which meets any of the criteria for the identification of a hazardous waste adopted by the State Department of Health Services pursuant to Section 25141 of the State Health and Safety Code.
“Hazardous waste” includes, but is not limited to, RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) hazardous waste.
Unless expressly provided otherwise, the term “hazardous waste” shall be understood to also include extremely hazardous waste and acutely hazardous waste.
(a) “Specified Hazardous Waste Facilities”.
These facilities are off-site facilities that accept wastes from more than one generator. A facility must have carefully engineered and designed means for acceptance, storage, and treatment of the wastes, as well as trained personnel operating the site.
(b) “Transfer and Storage Facilities.”
Facilities that collect small quantities of hazardous waste and store them until it is economical to transfer the wastes to a treatment or disposal site.
(c) “Treatment Facilities.”
These are facilities that alter the chemical form, toxicity, or volume of a waste. They do this generally through the use of one of the following processes.
(d) “Transportable Treatment Units (TTUs).”
Temporary mobile facilities that treat hazardous waste at the site of generation.
(e) “Incineration Facilities.”
These are facilities that burn some wastes such as organic liquids and solids which cannot be reclaimed economically or are technically difficult to treat. Incinerators destroy the waste, leaving a small hazardous waste residue. They can be developed as on-site or off-site facilities and are often used in hospitals to burn infectious wastes.
(f) “Solidification and Stabilization.”
These are the two most common methods of immobilizing hazardous wastes. Solidification and stabilization involve changing a liquid to a solid or altering the characteristics of a solid to immobilize the contaminants. A variety of materials are used, including cement, lime, and polymeric materials. This method is used for wastes that cannot be recycled, treated, or destroyed. Often, wastes undergo several treatment methods; solidification or stabilization is usually the last method applied in a treatment train.
(g) “Recycling Facilities.”
Facilities that process wastes so that they may be reclaimed, used or reused.
(h) “Residuals Repository.”
A residuals repository is a hazardous waste facility or part of a facility that is permitted to accept for land disposal only non-liquid, treated hazardous waste (as defined in Section 25179.3 (1), State Health and Safety Code). Non-liquid means non-liquid and containing less than 50% moisture by weight as determined in accordance with Section 67425 of Title 22, California Code of Regulations.

Storage of hazardous wastes on or in the land, such as waste piles and surface impoundments, other than neutralization and evaporation ponds, for longer than one year.
This term refers to the ability to orient or site any structure, including a dwelling, on its lot in order to take optimum advantage of natural solar heating capabilities. Structures should, wherever possible, orient their longest/largest axis from east to west and include special treatment of the south-facing wall.
