					 storage, or disposal in landfills, surface impoundments, waste piles, and land
					 treatment units. Requirements in the SWRCB-promulgated portions of this
					 subdivision:
(1) Minimum standards--are
					 minimum standards for proper management of each waste category. Regional boards
					 may impose more stringent requirements to accommodate regional and
					 site-specific conditions;
(2) MSW
					 Landfill Requirements--as they apply to MSW landfills, are superseded by any
					 more stringent requirements in SWRCB Resolution No. 93-62 (section
					 2908, Title 23 of this code) or in
					 the federal MSW regulations (40CFR 258);
(3) Utilize Abbreviated Internal
					 References--make reference only to requirements of the sections within this
					 subdivision, unless otherwise stated. Under this internal reference convention:
(A) any unenumerated paragraph reference in
					 this division [
e.g.,
"¶(c)",
or
"¶(d)(2)(A-D)" (
i.e., subsections A through D,
					 inclusive
)] is to be found in the same section as the referring
					 subsection; and
(B) any enumerated
					 reference that does not explicitly identify a source outside this subdivision
					 [
e.g.,
"§
													20200", "§
													20220(b)",
or
"Article 2, Subchapter 3, Chapter 3"] is to be found in
					 this subdivision; and
(4)
					 Contain Nonregulatory Notes and Examples--contain some nonregulatory language
					 that is needed in a body of multi-agency regulations such as this in order to
					 improve clarity and continuity. Such non-regulatory language is always
					 italicized, is always set off from adjacent regulatory text by parentheses or
					 brackets, serves an obviously explanatory function, and typically begins with
					 either "
Note
:" or "
e.g.,
". In the
					 SWRCB-promulgated sections of this subdivision, such italicized notes and
					 examples are intended only to provide the reader with useful guidance, and do
					 not constitute standards having regulatory effect.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
						Concept--This article contains a waste classification system which applies to
						solid wastes that cannot be discharged directly or indirectly to waters of the
						state and which therefore must be discharged to waste management units (Units)
						for treatment, storage, or disposal in accordance with the requirements of this
						division. Wastes which can be discharged directly or indirectly (
e.g.,
						by percolation
) to waters of the state under effluent or concentration
						limits that implement applicable water quality control plans (
e.g.,
						municipal or industrial effluent or process wastewater
) are not
						subject to the SWRCB-promulgated provisions of this division. This waste
						classification system shall provide the basis for determining which wastes may
						be discharged at each class of Unit. Waste classifications are based on an
						assessment of the potential risk of water quality degradation associated with
						each category of waste.
(1) The waste
						classifications in this article shall determine where the waste can be
						discharged unless the waste does not consist of or contain municipal solid
						waste (MSW) and the discharger establishes to the satisfaction of the RWQCB
						that a particular waste constituent or combination of constituents presents a
						lower risk of water quality degradation than indicated by classification
						according to this article.
(2)
						Discharges of wastes identified in §
													20210 or §
													20220 of this article shall be
						permitted only at Units which have been approved and classified by the RWQCB in
						accordance with the criteria established in Article 3 of this subchapter, and
						for which WDRs have been prescribed or waived pursuant to Article 4, Subchapter
						3, Chapter 4 of this subdivision (§
													21710 et seq.). Table 2.1 (of this
						article) presents a summary of discharge options for each waste
						category.

(a)
						Definition--Nonhazardous solid waste means all putrescible and nonputrescible
						solid, semi-solid, and liquid wastes, including garbage, trash, refuse, paper,
						rubbish, ashes, industrial wastes, demolition and construction wastes,
						abandoned vehicles and parts thereof, discarded home and industrial appliances,
						manure, vegetable or animal solid and semi-solid wastes and other discarded
						waste (whether of solid or semi-solid consistency); provided that such wastes
						do not contain wastes which must be managed as hazardous wastes, or wastes
						which contain soluble pollutants in concentrations which exceed applicable
						water quality objectives, or could cause degradation of waters of the state
						(i.e., designated waste).
(b) Units
						That Receive--Except as provided in §
												20200(d) (for
						liquids), nonhazardous solid waste may be discharged at any classified landfill
						which is authorized to accept such waste, provided that:
(1) the discharger shall demonstrate that
						codisposal of nonhazardous solid waste with other waste shall not create
						conditions which could impair the integrity of containment features and shall
						not render designated waste hazardous (
e.g., by mobilizing hazardous
						constituents
); and
(2) the
						discharger shall ensure, to the maximum extent feasible, that the Unit receives
						only those wastes that are approved for being discharged at that Unit.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
						Material Properties--Materials used in containment structures shall have
						appropriate chemical and physical properties to ensure that such structures do
						not fail to contain waste because of pressure gradients (including hydraulic
						head and external hydrogeologic forces), physical contact with the waste or
						leachate, chemical reactions with soil and rock, climatic conditions, the
						stress of installation, or because of the stress of daily operation.
(b) Applicable Permeants--Hydraulic
						conductivities specified for containment structures other than cover shall be
						relative to the fluids, including waste and leachate, to be contained.
						Hydraulic conductivities specified for final cover shall be relative to
						water.
(c) Determining Hydraulic
						Conductivity--Hydraulic conductivities shall be determined primarily by
						appropriate field test methods in accordance with accepted civil engineering
						practice. The results of laboratory tests with both water and leachate, and
						field tests with water (
e.g., on the test pad
), shall be
						compared to evaluate how the field permeabilities will be affected by leachate.
						It is acceptable for the discharger to use appropriate compaction tests in
						conjunction with laboratory hydraulic conductivity tests to determine field
						permeabilities as long as a reasonable number of field hydraulic conductivity
						tests are also conducted (
e.g., a sealed double-ring infiltrometer test
						on the test pad
).
(d)
						Soils Used in Containment Structures--Earthen materials used in containment
						structures other than cutoff walls and grout curtains shall consist of a
						mixture of clay and other suitable fine-grained soils which have the following
						characteristics, and which, in combination, can be compacted to attain the
						required hydraulic conductivity when installed. Liners made of such materials
						are referred to as "clay liners" in this subchapter.
(1) At least 30 percent of the material, by
						weight, shall pass a No. 200 U.S. Standard sieve.
(2) The materials shall be fine-grained soils
						with a significant clay content and without organic matter, and which is a
						clayey sand, clay, sandy or silty clay, or sandy clay under a soil
						classification system having industry-wide use [
e.g., the "SC", "CL",
						or "CH" soil classes under ASTM Designation: "2487-93 Standard Classification
						of Soils for Engineering Purposes (Unified Soil Classification
						System
)].
