Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 14, July 12, 2024
A. General.
				  Sanitary landfills which accept only nonhazardous industrial waste (industrial
				  waste landfills) are required to satisfy the siting, design, and operational
				  requirements of this regulation. Unless excluded under Regulation .04C of this
				  chapter, these landfills are subject to the permit requirements of Regulation
				  .20 of this chapter.
B. Acceptable
				  Wastes. Industrial waste landfills are limited to accepting nonhazardous
				  industrial solid wastes. The criteria for determining if a waste is a hazardous
				  waste is contained in COMAR 26.13.02.
C. Design Requirements.
(1) Industrial nonhazardous solid waste
				  landfills shall be designed to prevent ground and surface water pollution. A
				  discharge to surface waters other than uncontaminated storm water run-off shall
				  be in accordance with a State and NPDES discharge permit issued by the
				  Department under the Environment Article, §
											9-323, Annotated Code of
				  Maryland, and COMAR 26.08.04.01.
(2) Wastes which are to be landfilled may not
				  result in pollution of ground water. Nonhazardous industrial solid waste may
				  only be landfilled in a facility which possesses a functional liner and
				  leachate collection system as specified in Regulation .07C(12) of this chapter,
				  unless the Department specifically waives this requirement.
