Appendix 33 - groundwater Monitoring List1
§373-2.30 - Containment Buildings.
(a) Applicability. The requirements of this section apply to owners or operators who store or treat hazardous waste in units designed and operated under subdivision (b) of this section. These provisions will become effective on February 18, 1993, although the owner or operator may notify the Commissioner of their intent to be bound by this section at an earlier time. The owner or operator is not subject to the definition of land disposal in subdivision 370.2(b) provided that the unit:
(1) Is a completely enclosed, self-supporting structure that is designed and constructed of humanmade materials of sufficient strength and thickness to support themselves, the waste contents, and any personnel and heavy equipment that operate within the unit, and to prevent failure due to pressure gradients, settlement, compression, or uplift, physical contact with the hazardous wastes to which they are exposed; climatic conditions; and the stresses of daily operation, including the movement of heavy equipment within the unit and contact of such equipment with containment walls;
(2) Has a primary barrier that is designed to be sufficiently durable to withstand the movement of personnel, wastes, and handling equipment within the unit;
(iii) a secondary containment system designed and constructed of materials to prevent migration of hazardous constituents into the barrier, with a leak detection and liquid collection system capable of detecting, collecting, and removing leaks of hazardous constituents at the earliest practicable time, unless the unit has been granted a variance from the secondary containment system requirements under subparagraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section;
(4) Has controls sufficient to prevent fugitive dust emissions to meet the no visible emission standard in clause (b)(3)(i)('d') of this section; and
(ii) a liquid collection and removal system to minimize the accumulation of liquid on the primary barrier of the containment building:
('b') Liquids and waste must be collected and removed to minimize hydraulic head on the containment system at the earliest practicable time.
('2') constructed of a granular drainage material with a hydraulic conductivity of 1 X 10-2 cm/sec or more and a thickness of 12 inches (30.5 cm) or more, or constructed of synthetic or geonet drainage materials with a transmissivity of 3 X 10-5 m2/sec or more.
('b') If treatment is to be conducted in the building, any area in which such treatment will be conducted must be designed to prevent the release of liquids, wet materials, or liquid aerosols to other portions of the building.
('c') The secondary containment system must be constructed of materials that are chemically resistant to the waste and liquids managed in the containment building, and of sufficient strength and thickness to prevent collapse under the pressure exerted by overlaying materials and by any equipment used in the containment building. (Containment buildings can serve as secondary containment systems for tanks placed within the building under certain conditions. A containment building can serve as an external liner system for a tank, provided it meets the requirements of subparagraph 373-2.10(d)(4)(i). In addition, the containment building must meet the requirements of paragraph 373-2.10(d)(2) and subparagraphs 373-2.10(d)(3)(i) and (ii) to be considered an acceptable secondary containment system for a tank.)
(iv) For existing units other than 90-day generator units, the Commissioner may accept a determination made by the EPA Administrator to delay the secondary containment requirement for up to two years, based on a demonstration by the owner or operator that the unit substantially meets the standards of this section. In making this demonstration, the owner or operator must:
('a') have provided written notice to the EPA Administrator of such request by November 16, 1992. This notification must describe the unit and its operating practices with specific reference to the performance of existing containment systems, and specific plans for retrofitting the unit with secondary containment;
('b') Respond to any comments from the EPA Administrator on these plans within 30 days; and
('c') Fulfill the terms of the revised plans, if such plans are approved by the EPA Administrator.
('d') take measures to control fugitive dust emissions such that any openings (doors, windows, vents, cracks, etc.) exhibit no visible emissions (see 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 22 - Visual Determination of Fugitive Emissions from Material Sources and Smoke Emissions from Flares (see 370.1(e) of this Title)). In addition, all associated particulate collection devices (e.g., fabric filter, electrostatic precipitator) must be operated and maintained with sound air pollution control practices (see 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart 292 for guidance (see 370.1(e) of this Title)). This state of no visible emissions must be maintained effectively at all times during routine operating and maintenance conditions, including when vehicles and personnel are entering and exiting the unit.
(iii) Throughout the active life of the containment building, if the owner or operator detects a condition that could lead to or has caused a release of hazardous waste, repair the condition promptly, in accordance with the following procedures.
('a') Upon detection of a condition that has lead to a release of hazardous waste (e.g., upon detection of leakage from the primary barrier) the owner or operator must:
('2') immediately remove from service the portion of the containment building affected by the condition;
('c') Upon completing all repairs and cleanup the owner or operator must notify the Commissioner in writing and provide a verification, signed by a qualified professional engineer registered in New York State, that the repairs and cleanup have been completed according to the written plan submitted in accordance with subclause (3)(iii)('a')('4') of this subdivision.
(4) For containment buildings that contain areas both with and without secondary containment, the owner or operator must:
(1) At closure of a containment building, the owner or operator must remove or decontaminate all waste residues, contaminated containment system components (liners, etc.,) contaminated subsoils, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste and leachate, and manage them as hazardous waste unless paragraph 371.1(d)(4) of this Title applies. The closure plan, closure activities, cost estimates for closure, and financial responsibility for containment buildings must meet all of the requirements specified in sections 373-2.7 and 373-2.8 of this Subpart.
(2) If, after removing or decontaminating all residues and making all reasonable efforts to effect removal or decontamination of contaminated components, subsoils, structures, and equipment as required in paragraph (1) of this subdivision, the owner or operator finds that not all contaminated subsoils can be practicably removed or decontaminated, the owner or operator must close the facility and perform post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure requirements that apply to landfills (subdivision 373-2.14(g)). In addition, for the purposes of closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility, such a containment building is then considered to be a landfill, and the owner or operator must meet all of the requirements for landfills specified in sections 373-2.7 and 373-2.8 of this Subpart.
§373-2.31 - Hazardous Waste Munitions and Explosives Storage
(a) Applicability. The requirements of this section apply to owners or operators who store munitions and explosive hazardous wastes, except as subdivision 373-2.1(a) of this Subpart provides otherwise. (NOTE: Depending on explosive hazards, hazardous waste munitions and explosives may also be managed in other types of storage units, including containment buildings (section 373-2.30 of this Subpart), tanks (section 373-2.10 of this Subpart), or containers (section 373-2.9 of this Subpart); See subdivision 374-1.13(f) of this Title for storage of waste military munitions).
(2) Hazardous waste munitions and explosives stored under this section may be stored in one of the following:
(3) Hazardous waste munitions and explosives must be stored in accordance with a Standard Operating Procedure specifying procedures to ensure safety, security, and environmental protection. If these procedures serve the same purpose as the security and inspection requirements of subdivision 373-2.2(f) of this Subpart, the preparedness and prevention procedures of section 373-2.3 of this Subpart, and the contingency plan and emergency procedures requirements of section 373-2.4 of this Subpart, then these procedures will be used to fulfill those requirements.
(1) At closure of a magazine or unit which stored hazardous waste under this section, the owner or operator must remove or decontaminate all waste residues, contaminated containment system components, contaminated subsoils, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste, and manage them as hazardous waste unless paragraph 371.1(d)(4) of this Title applies. The closure plan, closure activities, cost estimates for closure, and financial responsibility for magazines or units must meet all of the requirements specified in sections 373-2.7 and 373-2.8 of this Subpart, except that the owner or operator may defer closure of the unit as long as it remains in service as a munitions or explosives magazine or storage unit.
(2) If, after removing or decontaminating all residues and making all reasonable efforts to effect removal or decontamination of contaminated components, subsoils, structures, and equipment as required in paragraph (1) of this subdivision, the owner or operator finds that not all contaminated subsoils can be practicably removed or decontaminated, he or she must close the facility and perform post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure requirements that apply to landfills (see subdivision 373-2.14(g) of this Subpart).
