Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) For each existing tank system that does
				not have secondary containment meeting the requirements of Section
				725.293,
				the owner or operator must determine either that the tank system is not leaking
				or that it is unfit for use. Except as provided in subsection (c), the owner or
				operator must obtain and keep on file at the facility a written assessment
				reviewed and certified by a qualified Professional Engineer, in accordance with
				35 Ill. Adm. Code
				702.126(d),
				that attests to the tank system's integrity.
b) This assessment must determine whether the
				tank system is adequately designed and has sufficient structural strength and
				compatibility with the wastes to be stored or treated to ensure that it will
				not collapse, rupture, or fail. At a minimum, this assessment must consider the
				following:
1) Design standards, if available,
				according to which the tank and ancillary equipment were constructed;
2) Hazardous characteristics of the wastes
				that have been or will be handled;
3) Existing corrosion protection
				measures;
4) Documented age of the
				tank system, if available, (otherwise, an estimate of the age); and
5) Results of a leak test, internal
				inspection, or other tank integrity examination, such that the following
				conditions are met:
A) For non-enterable
				underground tanks, this assessment must consist of a leak test that is capable
				of taking into account the effects of temperature variations, tank end
				deflection, vapor pocket, and high water table effects.
B) For other than non-enterable underground
				tanks and for ancillary equipment, this assessment must be either a leak test,
				as described above, or an internal inspection or other tank integrity
				examination certified by a qualified Professional Engineer, in accordance with
				35 Ill. Adm. Code
				702.126(d),
				that addresses cracks, leaks, corrosion, and erosion.

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 K - SURFACE IMPOUNDMENTS › Section 725.322 - Action Leakage Rate

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The owner or
				operator of surface impoundment units subject to Section
				725.321(a)
				must submit a proposed action leakage rate to the Agency when submitting the
				notice required under Section
				725.321(b).
				Within 60 days of receipt of the notification, the Agency must do either of the
				following: 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 surface impoundment units subject to Section
				725.321(a).
				The action leakage rate is the maximum design flow rate that the leak detection
				system (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; the 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
				725.326(b)
				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, if the unit is closed in accordance with
				Section
				725.328(a)(2),
				monthly during the post-closure care period, unless the Agency approves a
				different frequency pursuant to Section
				725.326(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.

				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 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 of 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.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The owner or operator of each new waste pile on which
				  construction commences after January 29, 1992, each lateral expansion of a
				  waste pile unit on which construction commences after July 29, 1992, and each
				  such replacement of an existing waste pile unit that is to commence reuse after
				  July 29, 1992, must install two or more liners and a leachate collection and
				  removal system above and between such liners and operate the leachate
				  collection and removal systems, in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  724.351(c),
				  unless exempted under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  724.351(d), (e)
				  or (f); and must comply with the procedures
				  of Section
				  725.321(b).
				  "Construction commences" is as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  720.110 under
				  "existing facility". The owner or operator of each unit referred to in this
				  Section must notify the Agency at least sixty days prior to receiving waste.

				  application within six months after the receipt of such
				  notice.
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 L - WASTE PILES › Section 725.355 - Action Leakage Rates

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The owner or
				operator of waste pile units subject to Section
				725.354
				must submit a proposed action leakage rate to the Agency when submitting the
				notice required under Section 725.354. Within 60 days after receipt of the
				notification, the Agency must either establish an action leakage rate, either
				as proposed by the owner or operator or modified using the criteria in this
				Section, or it must 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 period,
				the action leakage rate must be approved as proposed by the owner or
				operator.
b) The Agency must
				approve an action leakage rate for waste pile units subject to Section 725.354.
				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; the 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 flow rate from
				the monitoring data obtained under Section
				725.360,
				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.
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.

				720.111(b),
				for examples) must not be placed in the same pile, unless Section
				725.117(b)
				is complied with.
b) A pile of
				hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or other material stored
				nearby in other containers, piles, open tanks, or surface impoundments must be
				separated from the other materials or protected from them by means of a dike,
				berm, wall, or other device.
BOARD NOTE: The purpose of this is to prevent fires,
				  explosions, gaseous emissions, leaching, or other discharge of hazardous waste
				  or hazardous waste constituents that could result from the contact or mixing of
				  incompatible wastes or materials.
c) Hazardous waste must not be piled on the
				same area where incompatible wastes or materials were previously piled, unless
				that area has been decontaminated sufficiently to ensure compliance with
