				analyzed at least once every six months to determine, using the statistical
				procedures of Section
				811.320(e),
				whether the collected leachate is contaminated as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code

c) Once every two years, leachate samples
				shall be tested for the presence of organic chemicals in accordance with
				Section
				811.319(a)(3).
				If the results of such testing shows the presence of organic chemicals, the

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Applicable Groundwater Quality Standards
1)
				Groundwater quality must be maintained at each constituent's background
				concentration, at or beyond the zone of attenuation. The applicable groundwater
				quality standard established for any constituent must be:

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 811 - STANDARDS FOR NEW SOLID WASTE LANDFILLS › Subpart C - PUTRESCIBLE AND CHEMICAL WASTE LANDFILLS › Section 811.321 - Waste Placement

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Phasing
				of Operations
1) Waste disposal operations
				must move from the lowest portions of the unit to the highest portions. Except
				as provided in subsection (a)(2), the placement of waste must begin in the
				lowest part of the active face of the unit, located in the part of the facility
				most downgradient, with respect to groundwater flow.
2) The operator may dispose of wastes in
				areas other than those specified in subsection (a)(1) only under any of the
				following conditions:
A) Climatic conditions,
				such as wind and precipitation, are such that the placement of waste in the
				bottom of the unit would cause water pollution, litter or damage to any part of
				the liner;
B) The topography of the
				land surrounding the unit makes the procedure of subsection (a)(1)
				environmentally unsound, for example, because steep slopes surround the unit;
				or
C) When groundwater monitoring
				wells, constructed in accordance with the requirements of Section
				811.319,
				are placed 50 feet, or less, downgradient from the filled portions of the
				unit.

1) Vegetation shall be promoted on all
				reconstructed surfaces to minimize wind and water erosion of the final
				protective cover.
2) Vegetation
				shall be compatible with the climatic conditions.
3) Vegetation shall require little
				maintenance;

				and
7) Temporary erosion control
				measures, including but not limited to mulch straw, netting and chemical soil
				stabilizers, shall be undertaken while vegetation is being

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The operator
				must implement a load checking program that meets the requirements of this
				Section, for detecting and discouraging attempts to dispose regulated hazardous
				wastes at the facility. For purposes of this Section and Section
				811.406,
				"regulated hazardous waste" means a solid waste that is a hazardous waste, as
				defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				721.103,
				that is not excluded from regulation as hazardous waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				721.104(b)
				or which was not generated by a VSQG, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				720.110.
b) In addition to checking for hazardous
				waste in accordance with subsection (a), the load checking program at a MSWLF
				unit must include waste load inspection for detecting and discouraging attempts
				to dispose of polychlorinated biphenyl wastes, as defined in
				40
				CFR 761.3 (2017).
c) The load checking program must consist of,
				at a minimum, the following components:
1)
				Random Inspections
A) An inspector designated
				by the facility must examine at least three random loads of solid waste
				delivered to the landfill on a random day each week. The drivers randomly
				selected by the inspector must be directed to discharge their loads at a
				separate, designated location within the facility. The facility must conduct a
				detailed inspection of the discharged material for any regulated hazardous or
				other unacceptable wastes that may be present. Cameras or other devices may be
				used to record the visible contents of solid waste shipments. If these devices
				are employed, their use should be designated on a sign posted near the entrance
				to the facility.
B) If regulated
				hazardous wastes or other unacceptable wastes are suspected, the facility must
				communicate with the generator, hauler or other party responsible for shipping
				the waste to the facility to determine the identity of the waste.
