or water carrier; (2) a water carrier to a rail carrier or motor vehicle;
(3) a motor vehicle to a rail carrier, water carrier or motor vehicle; (4)
a rail carrier to a rail carrier, if the waste is removed from a rail car;
or (5) a water carrier to a water carrier, if the waste is removed from a
vessel.
"Transfer station" does not include (i) a site where waste is not removed
from the transfer container, or (ii) a site that accepts or receives open top
units containing only clean construction and demolition debris, or (iii) a site
that stores waste on a refuse motor vehicle
or in the vehicle's detachable refuse receptacle for no more than 24
hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, but only if the
detachable refuse receptacle is completely covered
or enclosed and is stored on the same site as the refuse motor vehicle that
transported the receptacle to the site.
