Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 725 - INTERIM STATUS STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart N - LANDFILLS › Section 725.402 - Action Leakage Rate

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The owner or
				operator of landfill units subject to Section
				725.401(a)
				must submit a proposed action leakage rate to the Agency when submitting the
				notice required under Section
				725.401(b).
				Within 60 days after receipt of the notification, the Agency must establish an
				action leakage rate, either as proposed by the owner or operator or modified
				using the criteria in this Section, or extend the review period for up to 30
				days. If no action is taken by the Agency before the original 60 or extended 90
				day review periods, the action leakage rate will be approved as proposed by the
				owner or operator.
b) The Agency
				must approve an action leakage rate for landfill units subject to Section
				725.401(a).
				The action leakage rate is the maximum design flow rate that the LDS can remove
				without the fluid head on the bottom liner exceeding one foot. The action
				leakage rate must include an adequate safety margin to allow for uncertainties
				in the design (e.g., slope, hydraulic conductivity, thickness of drainage
				material, etc.); construction, operation, and location of the LDS; waste and
				leachate characteristics, likelihood and amounts of other sources of liquids in
				the LDS; and proposed response actions (e.g., the action leakage rate must
				consider decreases in the flow capacity of the system over time resulting from
				siltation and clogging, rib layover, and creep of synthetic components of the
				system; overburden pressures; etc.).
c) To determine if the action leakage rate
				has been exceeded, the owner or operator must convert the weekly or monthly
				flow rate from the monitoring data obtained under Section
				725.404
				to an average daily flow rate (gallons per acre per day) for each sump. The
				average daily flow rate for each sump must be calculated weekly during the
				active life and closure period, and monthly during the post-closure care period
				unless the Agency approves a different period under Section
				725.404(b).
d) Final Agency determinations pursuant to
				this Section are deemed to be permit denials for purposes of appeal to the
				Board pursuant to Section 40 of the Environmental Protection Act.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 725 - INTERIM STATUS STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart N - LANDFILLS › Section 725.403 - Response Actions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The owner or
				operator of landfill units subject to Section
				725.401(a)
				must develop and keep on site until closure of the facility a response action
				plan. The response action plan must set forth the actions to be taken if the
				action leakage rate has been exceeded. At a minimum, the response action plan
				must describe the actions specified in subsection (b).
b) If the flow rate into the LDS exceeds the
				action leakage rate for any sump, the owner or operator must do each of the
				following:
1) Notify the Agency in writing of
				the exceedance within seven days after the determination;
2) Submit a preliminary written assessment to
				the Agency within 14 days after the determination, as to the amount of liquids;
				likely sources of liquids; possible location, size, and cause of any leaks; and
				short-term actions taken and planned;
3) Determine to the extent practicable the
				location, size, and cause of any leak;
4) Determine whether waste receipt should
				cease or be curtailed; whether any waste should be removed from the unit for
				inspection, repairs, or controls; and whether or not the unit should be
				closed;
5) Determine any other
				short-term and longer-term actions to be taken to mitigate or stop any leaks;
				and
6) Within 30 days after the
				notification that the action leakage rate has been exceeded, submit to the
				Agency the results of the determinations specified in subsections (b)(3)
				through (b)(5), the results of actions taken, and actions planned. Monthly
				thereafter, as long as the flow rate in the LDS exceeds the action leakage
				rate, the owner or operator must submit to the Agency a report summarizing the
				results of any remedial actions taken and actions planned.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 725 - INTERIM STATUS STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart N - LANDFILLS › Section 725.404 - Monitoring and Inspections

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) An
				owner or operator required to have an LDS under Section
				725.401(a)
				must record the amount of liquids removed from each LDS sump at least once each
				week during the active life and closure period.
b) After the final cover is installed, the
				amount of liquids removed from each LDS sump must be recorded at least monthly.
				If the liquid level in the sump stays below the pump operating level for two
				consecutive months, the amount of liquids in the sumps must be recorded at
				least quarterly. If the liquid level in the sump stays below the pump operating
				level for two consecutive quarters, the amount of liquids in the sumps must be
				recorded at least semi-annually. If at any time during the post-closure care
				period the pump operating level is exceeded at units on quarterly or
				semi-annual recording schedules, the owner or operator must return to monthly
				recording of amounts of liquids removed from each sump until the liquid level
				again stays below the pump operating level for two consecutive
				months.
c) "Pump operating level"
				is a liquid level proposed by the owner or operator and approved by the Agency
				based on pump activation level, sump dimensions and level that avoids backup
				into the drainage layer and minimizes head in the sump. The timing for
				submission and approval of the proposed "pump operating level" will be in
				accordance with Section
				725.402(a).
d) Final Agency determinations pursuant to
				this Section are deemed to be permit denials for purposes of appeal to the
				Board pursuant to Section 40 of the Environmental Protection Act.

				requirements:
1) It must not be constructed
				of earthen materials, wood, or asphalt, unless the asphalt is structurally
				supported;
2) It must be sloped to
				free-drain to the associated collection system treated wood drippage, rain,
				other waters, or solutions of drippage and water or other wastes;
3) It must have a curb or berm around the
				perimeter;
4) In addition, the drip
				pad must fulfill the following requirements:
A) It must have a hydraulic conductivity of
				less than or equal to 1 x 10-7 centimeters per
				second, e.g., existing concrete drip pads must be sealed, coated, or covered
				with a surface material with a hydraulic conductivity of less than or equal to
				1 x 10-7 centimeters per second such that the entire
				surface where drippage occurs or may run across is capable of containing such
				drippage and mixtures of drippage and precipitation, materials, or other wastes
				while being routed to an associated collection system. This surface material
				must be maintained free of cracks and gaps that could adversely affect its
				hydraulic conductivity, and the material must be chemically compatible with the
				preservatives that contact the drip pad. The requirements of this provision
				apply only to the existing drip pads and those drip pads for which the owner or
				operator elects to comply with Section
				725.542(b)
				instead of Section
				725.542(a).
B) The owner or operator must obtain and keep
				on file at the facility a written assessment of the drip pad, reviewed and
				certified by a qualified Professional Engineer that attests to the results of
				the evaluation. The assessment must be reviewed, updated, and recertified
				annually. The evaluation must document the extent to which the drip pad meets
				the design and operating standards of this Section, except for in subsection
				(b).
5) It must be of
				sufficient structural strength and thickness to prevent failure due to physical
				contact, climatic conditions, the stress of installation, and the stress of
				daily operations, e.g., variable and moving loads such as vehicle traffic,
				movement of wood, etc.
BOARD NOTE: In judging the structural integrity requirement
				  of this subsection (a), the Agency should generally consider applicable
				  standards established by professional organizations generally recognized by the
				  industry, including ACI 318-83 (Building Code Requirements for Reinforced
				  Concrete) or ASTM C 94-90 (Standard Specification for Ready-Mixed Concrete),
				  incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  720.111(a).
