Current through July 10, 2024
Special waste disposal shall comply with the permit and
				operation and management requirements of solid waste disposal areas with the
				exceptions and additional special considerations noted in this section.
(a) Any person wishing to operate a solid
			 waste facility specifically for special wastes must comply with the permit
			 requirements of Section
			 22a-209-4
			 of these regulations.
(b) A
			 separate permit to construct or to operate is not required if combined disposal

			 authorized and the requirements for these special wastes are adequately
			 provided for in the facility plan.
(c) The combined disposal of special wastes
			 with other solid wastes or special wastes is prohibited unless specifically
			 approved in writing by the Commissioner. The use of casting sands, contaminated
			 dredge spoils or fly-ash as cover material may be allowed upon written approval
			 of the Commissioner. Any such approval shall become part of the facility
			 plan.
(d) Certification procedures

			 for specific training or experience in the unique characteristics and handling
			 requirements of the special wastes to be disposed of under the operator's
			 supervision.

			 not prohibit the diversion of special wastes to composting operations or for
			 resource recovery.
(f) Special
			 handling requirements for special wastes shall, as the Commissioner deems
			 necessary, include but not be limited to the following:
(1) For each specific waste, the disposal
			 facility owner or operator shall submit for the Commissioner's review and
			 approval a report on the physical and chemical analysis and leachate analysis
			 of a representative number of samples of the waste materials, such analyses to
			 be conducted by methods approved or prescribed by the Commissioner,
(2) Pretreatment or dewatering of sludges or
			 other waste materials with high moisture content,
(3) Erosion and siltation control measures
			 for the disposal of easily eroded materials,
(4) Dust control measures including prompt
			 application of cover material, use of water or calcium chloride, all-weather
			 road surfaces, washing of vehicles, and use of dust-filtering masks for the
			 disposal of easily airborne waste materials,
(5) Odor control including limited working
			 areas and prompt cover and use of masking agents with specific written approval
			 of the Commissioner, and
(6)
			 Equipment maintenance procedures including frequent inspection and prompt
			 replacement of air filters and other repairs as may be needed when handling
			 fine or abrasive waste materials.
(7) The requirements under Section
			 22a-209-7
			 of these regulations for daily cover and ground water separation distances for
			 the disposal of these wastes may be reduced with the written approval of the
			 Commissioner if it is established to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that
			 such reduction will not result in the pollution of the waters of the State in
			 violation of Section
			 22a-209-7(c)
			 (2) of these regulations.
