(c) Approvals,
				  determinations and other requirements that the EA is authorized to make under
				  Articles 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of this Chapter shall be provided in writing by the
				  EA to the operator. The operator shall place a copy of each approval,

(d) Some of the standards contained in this
				  Chapter authorize the EA to approve an alternative method of compliance with
				  the standard. These provisions are not intended to allow the EA to change the
				  particular standard, but are intended to allow the EA flexibility to approve,
				  in advance, an alternative method of meeting the existing standard which
				  provides equivalent protection of the public health and safety and the
				  environment as the existing standard. For facilities that require a full solid
				  waste facility permit, the EA may choose to include the approved alternative
				  method of compliance as a term and condition of the solid waste facility
				  permit, rather than in the manner authorized by subdivision (c) of this
				  section. If the method is included in the solid waste facility permit, a change
				  to the method may require a revision to the solid waste facility permit in
				  accordance with the procedures set forth in Title 27, Division 2, Subdivision

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The design of a new in-vessel digestion
				  operation or facility shall utilize expert advice, as appropriate, from persons
				  competent in engineering, architecture, landscape design, traffic engineering,
				  air quality control, water quality protection and design of
				  structures.
(b) The design shall be
				  based on appropriate data regarding the expected service area, anticipated
				  nature and quantity of wastes to be received, climatological factors, physical
				  settings, adjacent land use (existing and planned), types and number of
				  vehicles anticipated to enter the operation or facility, adequate off-street
				  parking facilities for transfer vehicles, drainage control, the hours of
				  operation and other pertinent information. If the operation or facility is to
				  be used by the general public, the design shall take account of safety features
				  that may be needed to accommodate such public use.
(c) The in-vessel digestion operation or
				  facility shall be designed in such a manner as to restrict the unloading area
				  to as small an area as practicable, provide adequate control of windblown
				  material, minimize the propagation or attraction of flies, rodents or other
				  vectors and the creation of nuisances by reason of solid wastes being handled
				  at the operation. Other factors which shall be taken into consideration are:
				  dust control, noise control, public safety, and other pertinent matters related
				  to the protection of public health at the operation or facility.
(d) In reviewing the design of a proposed
				  in-vessel anaerobic digestion operation or facility, the EA may require the
				  applicant to describe how he or she has complied with applicable local and
				  state requirements regarding odor control measures, personnel health and
				  safety, and sanitary facilities.
(e) Solid waste storage containers shall be
				  durable, easily cleanable, designed for safe handling, and constructed to
				  prevent loss of wastes from the container during storage. If such a container
				  is used to store garbage, other wet or liquid producing wastes, or wastes
				  composed of fine particles, such container shall in all cases be nonabsorbent
				  and leak-resistant. Unloading areas shall be easily cleanable, designed for
				  safe handling and constructed to prevent loss of wastes.

(b) The Report shall:
(1) Present representative and correlating
				  odor data for each potential onsite odor source including but not limited to:
				  odor severity, odor characteristics, time and weather conditions when data was
				  collected, description of operations associated with the source, and any odor
				  impacts or complaints received;

				  contributing to odor impacts, as identified above in subdivision (b)(2):
(A) List of all best management practices
				  (BMPs), using the Comprehensive Compost Odor Response Project (CCORP) or other
				  industry-accepted practice(s) as a guideline, which the operator has used to
				  minimize odor and analyze each BMP for the following:
1. The effectiveness of the BMP in reducing
				  odor impacts;
2. The potential for
				  more extensive use of the BMP to minimize odor impacts described by
				  complainants;
3. If the BMP has
				  been operationally practical and if more extensive use of the BMP would be
				  operationally practical;
4. The
				  approximate cost to implement a more extensive use of the BMP;
5. Any permits or permit changes necessary to
				  use the BMP more extensively;

(B) List of all potential best management
				  practices (BMPs), using the Comprehensive Compost Odor Response Project (CCORP)
				  or other industry-accepted practice(s) as a guideline, which the operator has
				  not used and analyze each potential BMP to determine:
1. The potential for the BMP to reduce odor
				  impacts described by complainants;
2. If the BMP is operationally
				  practical;
3. The approximate cost
				  to implement the BMP;
4. Any

				  provide guidance to on-site operation personnel by describing, at a minimum,
				  the following items. If the operator will not be implementing any of these
				  procedures, the plan shall explain why it is not necessary.
(1) an odor monitoring and data collection
				  protocol for on-site odor sources, which describes the proximity of possible
				  odor receptors and a method for assessing odor impacts at the locations of the
				  possible odor receptors; and,
(2) a
				  description of meteorological conditions effecting migration of odors and/or
				  transport of odor-causing material off-site. Seasonal variations that effect
				  wind velocity and direction shall also be described; and,
(3) a complaint response and recordkeeping
				  protocol; and,
(4) a description of
				  design considerations and/or projected ranges of optimal operation to be

				  content of materials, feedstock characteristics, airborne emission production,
				  process water distribution, pad and site drainage and permeability, equipment
				  reliability, personnel training, weather event impacts, utility service
				  interruptions, and site specific concerns as applicable; and,
(5) a description of operating procedures for
				  minimizing odor, including aeration, moisture management, feedstock quality,
				  drainage controls, pad maintenance, wastewater pond controls, storage practices
				  (e.g., storage time and pile geometry), contingency plans (i.e., equipment,
				  water, power, and personnel), bio filtration, and tarping as
