Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 567 - Environmental Protection Commission › Title VIII - Solid Waste Management and Disposal › Chapter 105 - Organic Materials Composting Facilities › Rule 567-105.7 - Permit Requirements for Solid Waste Composting Facilities

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
Permit
				required.
Solid waste composting facilities shall not be constructed
				or operated without a permit from the department. As part of the sanitary
				disposal project permit issuance procedures, these facilities must meet
				comprehensive planning requirements. Since these facilities serve as
				alternatives to landfilling, comprehensive planning requirements are minimal
				and are satisfied through the information provided in the permit application
				submittal and by compliance with the reporting requirements set forth in
				105.12(455B,455D). If a solid waste composting facility is formally part of a
				planning area's integrated waste management system, the operator must
				participate in that area's planning activities and the facility must be
				included in all plan submittal documents. The issuance of a permit by the
				department in no way relieves the applicant of the responsibility of complying
				with all other local, state, or federal statutes, ordinances, and rules or
				other requirements applicable to the construction and operation of a solid
				waste composting facility.
(2)
Construction and operation.
All solid waste composting
				facilities shall be constructed and operated according to the plans and
				specifications as approved by the department and the conditions of the permit.
				The approved plans and specifications shall constitute a term of the
				permit.
(3)
Transfer of
				title and permit.
If title to a solid waste composting facility is
				transferred, then the department shall transfer the permit within 60 days if
				the department finds that the following requirements have been met:
a. The title transferee has applied in
				writing to the department within 30 days of the transfer of title to request a
				transfer of the permit.
b. The
				permitted facility is in compliance with the rules and conditions of the
				permit.

Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 567 - Environmental Protection Commission › Title VIII - Solid Waste Management and Disposal › Chapter 108 - Beneficial Use Determinations: Solid By-products as Resources and Alternative Cover Material › Rule 567-108.1 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
The purpose of this chapter is to establish rules for
				  determining when a solid by-product is a resource and not a solid waste. Solid
				  by-products determined by the department not to be a solid waste through a
				  beneficial use determination may not be subject to all sanitary disposal
				  project (SDP) permitting requirements. Furthermore, the purpose of this chapter
				  is to encourage the utilization of solid by-products as resources when such
				  utilization improves, or at a minimum does not adversely affect, human health
				  and the environment.
Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 567 - Environmental Protection Commission › Title VIII - Solid Waste Management and Disposal › Chapter 108 - Beneficial Use Determinations: Solid By-products as Resources and Alternative Cover Material › Rule 567-108.2 - Applicability and Compliance

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
				These rules apply to industrial, commercial, and institutional generators and
				users or proposed users of solid by-products and to sanitary landfills
				utilizing or desiring to utilize alternative cover material. These rules apply
				to solid by-products that before receiving a beneficial use determination by
				the department were being disposed of as solid waste. These rules do not apply
				to solid by-products that have already been disposed of as solid waste by the
				generator.
(2) These rules do not
				pertain to the land application of solid waste. For rules pertaining to the
				land application of solid waste, see 567-Chapter 121. However, for solid
				by-products that are land-applied pursuant to 567-Chapter 121, a variance from
				some or all of the requirements of 567-Chapter 121 may be gained through
				receipt of a beneficial use determination from the department.
(3) These rules do not pertain to solid waste
				processing operations pursuant to 567-Chapter 104. However, for solid
				by-products that are processed pursuant to 567-Chapter 104, a variance from
				some or all of the requirements of 567-Chapter 104 may be gained through
				receipt of a beneficial use determination from the department.
(4) These rules do not pertain to solid waste
				composting pursuant to 567-Chapter 105. However, for solid by-products that are
				composted pursuant to 567-Chapter 105, a variance from some or all of the
				requirements of 567-Chapter 105 may be gained through receipt of a beneficial
				use determination from the department.
(5) Beneficial use determinations granted by
				the department before April 23, 2003, shall remain in effect unless
				specifically addressed by these rules or by written notification pursuant to
				567-10811.
				(455B,455D).
(6) The issuance of a
				beneficial use determination by the department relieves the generator and
				user(s) of all Iowa solid waste requirements specifically noted in the written
				determination. Requirements that may be relieved by a beneficial use
				determination may include rules, SDP permits, and permit conditions and
				variances. Solid by-products that have not received a beneficial use
				determination by the department are subject to all of Iowa's regulations
				pertaining to solid waste. The issuance of a beneficial use determination by
				the department in no way relieves the generator or user of the responsibility
				of complying with all other local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, and
				rules or other applicable requirements.
Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 567 - Environmental Protection Commission › Title VIII - Solid Waste Management and Disposal › Chapter 108 - Beneficial Use Determinations: Solid By-products as Resources and Alternative Cover Material › Rule 567-108.4 - Universally Approved Beneficial Use Determinations

				  in the specific manners listed provided that such utilization is in compliance
				  with 567- 108.6(455B,455D) and 567- 108.7(455B,455D). Unless a user is
				  otherwise notified by the department pursuant to
				  567-10811.
				  (455B,455D), such utilization does not require further approval from the
				  department.

The generator of a solid by-product may apply to the
				  department in writing for a beneficial use determination. If the department
				  finds the application information to be incomplete, then it shall notify the
				  applicant in writing of that fact and of the specific deficiencies and return
				  the application materials to the applicant within 30 days of such notification.
				  The applicant may reapply without prejudice.

				the project, if any.
f. Responsible
				official of agency to be served.
