Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 10 - DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES › Division 80 - Solid Waste Management › Chapter 5 - Processing Facility › Section 10 CSR 80-5.010 - Design and Operation

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule pertains to the design and
				  operation of solid waste processing facilities (incinerators, compost plants,
				  transfer stations or any facility where solid wastes are
				  salvaged).
(1) This rule sets
				forth requirements and the method of satisfactory compliance to ensure that the
				design and operation of the solid waste processing facility will protect the
				public health, prevent nuisances and meet applicable environmental standards.
				The requirement subsections contained in this rule delineate minimum levels of
				performance required of any solid waste processing facility operation. The
				satisfactory compliance subsections are based on the satisfactory practice of
				handling municipal solid waste at a processing facility. It is recognized that
				the various types of facilities and types of solid wastes may justify or
				require the use of techniques other than those listed as satisfactory
				compliance. If techniques other than those listed as satisfactory compliance in
				design or operation are used, it is the obligation of the solid waste
				processing facility owner/operator to demonstrate to the department in advance
				that the techniques to be employed will satisfy the requirement. Procedures for
				the techniques must be submitted to the department in writing and approved by
				the department in writing prior to being employed. Notwithstanding any other
				provision of this rule, when it is found necessary to meet the objectives of
				the requirement subsections, the department will require changes in design or
				operation as the condition warrants. A solid waste processing facility
				permitted for the treatment or other processing of infectious waste shall also
				comply with the requirements of 10 CSR 807.010.
(2) Solid Waste Accepted.
(A) Requirement. In consultation with the
				department, the professional engineer and owner/operator shall determine what
				solid wastes shall be accepted and shall identify any special handling
				required. Only solid wastes for which the facility has been specifically
				designed and performance tested shall be accepted.
(B) Satisfactory Compliance-Design.
1. The plans shall identify the solid wastes
				to be accepted and the procedures for handling the various types of solid waste
				accepted. The solid wastes to be accepted shall be indicated on the Application
				for Operating Permit form. Storage areas for accepted solid wastes shall be
				designated in the plan.
2.
				Provisions for storing, handling and removing solid wastes not to be accepted
				that are inadvertently left at the solid waste processing facility shall be
				considered in the design. Storage areas for solid wastes not to be accepted
				shall be designated in the plan.
3.
				At the request of the department, performance tests shall be conducted to
				demonstrate the successful processing of certain solid wastes and the
				professional engineer shall submit a report to the department covering the
				results of the performance tests with a copy of all supporting data.
(C) Satisfactory
				Compliance-Operation.
1. Storage areas shall
				be clearly marked.
2. Facility
				personnel shall be thoroughly trained in the handling of acceptable and
				unacceptable waste received at the solid waste processing facility.
3. The unloading of solid wastes should be
				supervised to exclude the unacceptable wastes.
4. A list of all solid wastes accepted for
				processing at the solid waste processing facility shall be posted at the
				entrance.
