11. A person shall not establish a new landfilling site or increase the total waste disposal volume of an existing landfilling site unless a written report containing plans, specifications and descriptions for the management and disposal of any leachate collected at the site has been prepared.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 11. Leachate Contingency Plans

12. (1) A person shall not establish a new landfilling site or increase the total waste disposal volume of an existing landfilling site unless a written report containing plans, specifications and descriptions for a leachate contingency plan for the site has been prepared in accordance with this section.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 12 (1). (2) The report must contain the following: 1. A description of the contingency measures, including the collection of leachate that would be carried out, if necessary, if a liner or leachate collection system fails or if leachate otherwise leaves the waste fill zone in a quantity greater than expected or with a quality worse than expected. 2. A statement of the maximum allowable concentrations for contaminants in the ground water at any point on any adjacent property and in any surface water feature on the site. 3. A description of the ground water monitoring stations to be used to identify potential increases in contaminant concentrations in the ground water beneath the site and predict potential increases at the property boundary and in any surface water feature on the site before any increases occur. 4. A discussion of the basis on which the monitoring stations referred to in paragraph 3 will be brought into service, indicating that stations near the waste fill area will be brought into service not later than the date that placement of the waste begins. 5. A description of the trigger criteria for initiating investigative activities into the cause of an increase in contaminant concentrations in ground water and in any surface water feature on the site, indicating that the criteria relate to the magnitude of the increase in contaminant concentrations or the magnitude of the rate of increase in contaminant concentrations.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 12 (2). Surface Water Control

13. (1) A person shall not establish a new landfilling site or increase the total waste disposal volume of an existing landfilling site unless a written report containing plans, specifications and descriptions for the control, treatment and discharge of surface water at the site during construction, site operation and following closure has been prepared in accordance with this section.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 13 (1). (2) The plans, specifications and descriptions must ensure that, (a) the concentration of any contaminant in surface water being discharged from the site to a waterbody is in accordance with Ministry of Environment and Energy Guideline B - 1, Water Management, dated July 1994, and Ministry of Environment and Energy Procedure B - 1 - 1, Water Management, dated July 1994, as they may be amended from time to time; and (b) the background levels for dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and temperature, and the hydrologic cycle of any on-site, adjacent or receiving surface water features, are not adversely affected by the site.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 13 (2). Subsurface Migration of Landfill Gas

14. (1) A person shall not establish a new landfilling site or increase the total waste disposal volume of an existing landfilling site unless a written report has been prepared in accordance with this section that contains the following: 1. An assessment of the potential for the migration of landfill gas in the subsurface. 2. Plans, specifications and descriptions for the monitoring, control, collection, use or discharge of landfill gas at the site if, on the basis of the assessment, any of these actions are necessary.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 14 (1). (2) The design of the site and any plans, specifications and descriptions for the control of landfill gas must ensure that the subsurface migration of landfill gas meets the following conditions: 1. The concentration of methane gas below the surface of the land at the boundary of the site must be less than 2.5 per cent by volume. 2. The concentration of methane gas must be less than 1.0 per cent by volume in any on-site building or enclosed structure, and in the area immediately outside the foundation or basement floor of the building or structure, if the building or structure is accessible to any person or contains electrical equipment or a potential source of ignition. 3. Paragraph 2 does not apply to a leachate collection, storage or treatment facility or landfill gas collection or treatment facility for which specific health and safety measures and procedures are in place relating to the risk of asphyxiation and the risk of explosion. 4. The concentration of methane gas from the site must be less than 0.05 per cent by volume in any off-site building or enclosed structure, and in the area immediately outside the foundation or basement floor of the building or structure, if the building or structure is accessible to any person or contains electrical equipment or a potential source of ignition.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 14 (2). Atmospheric Emissions of Landfill Gas

15. (1) A person shall not establish a new landfilling site or increase the total waste disposal volume of an existing landfilling site unless a written report has been prepared respecting the design, operation, maintenance and monitoring of facilities for the collection, and for the burning or use, of landfill gas generated by the site during site operation and following site closure.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 15 (1); O. Reg. 216/08, s. 2 (1). (2) Subsection (1) applies only if a new landfilling site is being established with a total waste disposal volume of more than 1.5 million cubic metres or the total waste disposal volume of an existing landfilling site is being increased to more than 1.5 million cubic metres.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 15 (2); O. Reg. 216/08, s. 2 (2). (3) Subsection (1) does not apply to a landfilling site if a written report is prepared showing that the nature and quantity of landfill gas generated at the site is not likely to be of significant concern to the Director, based on the following factors: 1. The characteristics of the site. 2. The type of waste to be deposited. 3. The rate at which waste is deposited at the site.  O. Reg. 216/08, s. 2 (3). (3.1) Subsection (1) does not apply to a landfilling site if the only waste to be landfilled at the site is coal ash.  O. Reg. 216/08, s. 2 (3). (4) Subsection (1) does not apply to a landfilling site associated with forest products operations, such as the operations of a lumber mill, sawmill, pulp mill or similar facility, if the waste to be deposited at the site is produced by the forest products operations and is predominantly solid, non-hazardous process waste, such as woodwaste, effluent treatment solids, hog fired boiler ash, recycling process rejects, lime mud, grits or dregs.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 15 (4). Operation and Maintenance Procedures

16. A person shall not establish a new landfilling site or increase the total waste disposal volume of an existing landfilling site unless a writ ten report has been prepared containing plans, specifications and descriptions of the operation, maintenance, monitoring, closure and post-closure care of the site, including matters related to record keeping, reporting and financial assurance.  O. Reg. 232/98, s. 16.
