(4) To assist the Council in determining whether the standard outlined in (1) through (3) has been met , the Applicant must submit : (a) Information about the applicant's plans to minimize the generation of solid waste and wastewater and to recycle or reuse solid waste and wastewater, providing evidence to support a finding by the Council as required by OAR 345-022-0120. The applicant must include: (A) A description of the major types of solid waste and wastewater that construction, operation and retirement of the facility are likely to generate, including an estimate of the amount of solid waste and wastewater; (B) A description of any structures, systems and equipment for management and disposal of solid waste, wastewater and storm water; (C) A discussion of any actions or restrictions proposed by the applicant to reduce consumptive water use during construction and operation of the facility; (D) The applicant’s plans to minimize, recycle or reuse the solid waste and wastewater described in (A); (E) A description of any adverse impact on surrounding and adjacent areas from the accumulation, storage, disposal and transportation of solid waste, wastewater and stormwater during construction and operation of the facility; (F) Evidence that adverse impacts described in (E) are likely to be minimal, taking into account any measures the applicant proposes to avoid, reduce or otherwise mitigate the impacts; and (G) The applicant's proposed monitoring program, if any, for minimization of solid waste and wastewater impacts. (b) A materials analysis, including: (A) An inventory of substantial quantities of industrial materials flowing into and out of the proposed facility during construction and operation; (B) The applicant's plans to manage hazardous substances during construction and operation, including measures to prevent and contain spills; and (C) The applicant's plans to manage non-hazardous waste materials during construction and operation.
