(a) This chapter sets forth application and operating requirements for residual waste processing facilities other than transfer or composting facilities. The requirements in this chapter are in addition to the applicable requirements in Chapter 287 (relating to residual waste management—general provisions).
(b) This chapter does not apply to processing facilities that are authorized to operate under § 287.102 (relating to permit-by-rule) or § § 287.611, 287.612, 287.621—287.625, 287.631, 287.632, 287.641—287.644, 287.651 and 287.652.
(20) For noncaptive residual waste processing facilities, a designated area for vehicles for use in the event of the detection of waste containing radioactive material. The designated area shall, by location or shielding, protect the environment, facility staff and public from radiation originating in the vehicle. The Department’s ‘‘Guidance Document on Radioactivity Monitoring at Solid Waste Processing and Disposal Facilities,’’ Document Number 250-3100-001, describes various factors to consider in determining an appropriate designated area.
An application shall contain a contingency plan consistent with § § 297.251—297.253 (relating to emergency procedures). The plan shall include a Preparedness, Prevention and Contingency (PPC) Plan that is consistent with the Department’s most recent guidelines for the development and implementation of PPC plans.
(i) The limitations in subsections (g)—(h) do not apply to radioactive material as found in the undisturbed natural environment of this Commonwealth.
(1) In the 100-year floodplain of waters of this Commonwealth, unless the Department approves in the permit a method of protecting the facility from a 100-year flood consistent with the Flood Plain Management Act (32 P. S. § § 679.101—679.601) and the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. § § 693.1—693.27).
(f) Residual waste shall be confined to the unloading area or a storage area approved as part of the operator’s permit.
(a) Emissions from a residual waste processing facility shall be consistent with the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. § § 4001—4015), Article III (relating to air resources), the terms or conditions of its permit and, if applicable, the most recent edition of the Department’s criteria for best available technology, and other applicable Departmental guidelines.
(b) An operator shall monitor incoming waste in accordance with the Department’s ‘‘Guidance Document on Radioactivity Monitoring at Solid Waste Processing and Disposal Facilities,’’ Document Number 250-3100-001, or in a manner at least as protective of the environment, the facility staff and the public health and safety. Monitoring shall meet the requirements of this section and the facility’s approved radiation protection action plan.
(a) If required by the Department as part of the permit, the operator shall conduct soil or groundwater monitoring, or both. The groundwater monitoring shall be in accordance with § § 288.252—288.258, as required by the Department, and the terms and conditions of the permit, and shall continue for the period specified in § 297.272 (relating to cessation of operations).
(b) For purposes of the interfacing with § § 288.252—288.258, the following terms apply:
(2) The term ‘‘residual waste landfill’’ is substituted with ‘‘incinerator or other processing facility.’’
(b) The Department may waive or modify one or more of the requirements of subsection (a) in the permit if the operator demonstrates to the Department’s satisfaction that the requirements are not necessary to protect public health and safety, public welfare and the environment.
(a) The operator of the facility shall immediately implement the applicable provisions of the approved contingency plan whenever there is an emergency. For purposes of this section, the term ‘‘emergency’’ includes a fire, spill or other hazard that threatens public health and safety, public welfare or the environment, and personal injury.
