Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 14, July 12, 2024
A. Ten complete
				  sets of plans and engineering reports, known as the Phase III report, covering
				  the proposed project, prepared, signed, and bearing the seal of a registered
				  professional engineer shall be submitted to the Approving Authority.
B. These plans and specifications shall
				  include the following information in sufficient detail to permit a
				  comprehensive review of the project:
(1) A map
				  which designates the property boundaries, the actual area to be used for
				  filling, and all existing and proposed structures.
(2) A description of any vehicle weighing
				  facilities, any telephones or other communications equipment, any maintenance
				  and equipment storage facilities, any employee safety and sanitary facilities,
				  and any water supply and sewerage systems. Any proposed on-site water supply
				  and sewerage systems shall be approved by the Approving Authority.
(3) The location and type of all existing or
				  proposed on-site roads.
(4) A
				  description of the types of solid waste which will be accepted, the types of
				  solid waste which may not be accepted, and the area and population which will
				  be served by the facility.
(5) The
				  anticipated quantities of solid waste which will be accepted and the
				  calculations used to determine the useful life of the facility.
(6) Proposed methods of collecting and
				  reporting data on the quantities and types of solid waste received and for
				  revising facility life expectancy projections.
(7) The volume and type of available cover
				  material, the calculated volume of earth needed for daily, intermediate, and
				  final cover, the location of earth stockpiles, and provisions for saving
				  topsoil for use as final cover.
(8)
				  Proposed means of controlling unauthorized access to the site.
(9) Proposed operating procedures including:
(a) Hours and days of operation;
(b) Number and types of equipment to be
				  used;
(c) Number of employees and
				  their duties;
(d) Provisions for
				  fire prevention and control;
(e)
				  Means of preventing public health hazards and nuisances from blowing paper,
				  odors, rodents, vermin, noise, and dust; and
(f) Proposed method of daily operation
				  including wet weather operation.
(10) The location and depth of solid waste
				  cells and the sequence of filling.
(11) Natural or artificial screening to be
				  used.
(12) Methods of controlling
				  on-site drainage, drainage leaving the site, and drainage onto the site from
				  adjoining areas. Erosion and sediment control provisions shall be approved by
				  the appropriate approving agency and satisfy the requirements of Environment
				  Article, Title 4, Subtitle 1, and COMAR 26.09.01.
(13) Proposed methods and engineering
				  specifications for the collection, management, and disposal of leachate
				  generated at the facility. The calculations used to determine the anticipated
				  quantities of leachate which will be generated shall be included.
(14) A contingency plan for preventing or
				  abating the pollution of the waters of this State. At a minimum, the
				  contingency plan shall address the following items:
(a) Emergency provisions of potable water to
				  users whose supply may be affected by the landfill;
(b) A spill containment and prevention plan
				  for any leachate collected or stored at the site; and
(c) Emergency telephone numbers and contact
				  persons for fires, medical emergencies, spills of hazardous materials, or other
				  emergency situation.
(15) Proposed methods for controlling
				  landfill gas.
(16) Proposed methods
				  for covering and stabilizing completed areas.
(17) A system for routinely monitoring the
				  quality of the waters of this State around and beneath the site, including the
				  location and types of monitoring stations, and the methods of construction of
				  monitoring wells. Wells shall be installed by a State licensed well driller in
				  accordance with COMAR 26.04.04.
(18) A statement that "Burning of solid waste
				  is not allowed, except as permitted by the Department of the
				  Environment."
(19) A schedule for
				  implementing construction and implementation of the operation plans and
				  engineering specifications once the refuse disposal permit has been
				  issued.
(20) A landfill closure and
				  post-closure plan to be followed over a period of not less than 5 years after
				  application of final cover.
(21)
				  The name, address, and telephone number of the person or agency responsible for
				  the maintenance and operation of the site. Changes to this information shall be
