Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 567 - Environmental Protection Commission › Title VIII - Solid Waste Management and Disposal › Chapter 113 - Sanitary Landfills for Municipal Solid Waste: Groundwater Protection Systems for the Disposal of Nonhazardous Wastes › Rule 567-113.2 - Applicability and Compliance

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
				All sanitary landfills accepting municipal solid waste must comply with the
				provisions of this chapter.
(2)
				These rules do not encompass the beneficial use of by-products as alternative
				cover material. For rules pertaining to the beneficial use of by-products as
				alternative cover material, see 567-Chapter 108.
(3) These rules do not encompass the
				management and disposal of special wastes. For rules pertaining to the
				management and disposal of special wastes, see 567-Chapter 109.
(4) This chapter does not apply to MSWLF
				units that did not receive waste after October 9, 1994. The closure permit
				issued or the rules in effect at the time of closure shall govern postclosure
				activities for such MSWLF units.
(5) This chapter does not apply to MSWLF
				units that stop receiving waste before October 1, 2007, and are not contiguous
				with MSWLF units that will continue to accept waste after October 1,2007. For
				the purpose of this subrule, contiguous MSWLF units are those that adjoin, abut
				or have a common boundary or edge with one another or that utilize the same
				groundwater monitoring network system. The permit issued and the rules in
				effect at the time waste acceptance ceased shall govern postclosure activities
				for such MSWLF units except as follows:
a.
				Financial assurance in accordance with rule
				567-11314.
				(455B) shall be required.
b. Owners
				or operators of MSWLF units described in this subrule that fail to complete
				cover installation within one year after October 1, 2007, will be subject to
				all the requirements of this chapter, unless otherwise specified.
c. Surface water sampling in accordance with
				subrule 113.10(3) shall be required.
d. MSWLF units subject to this rule shall
				perform groundwater sampling for the following parameters:
(1) Routine semiannual water sampling
				parameters:
1.Chloride.
2. Specific conductance (field
				measurement).
3. pH (field
				measurement).
4. Ammonia
				nitrogen.
5. Iron,
				dissolved.
6. Chemical oxygen
				demand.
7. Any additional
				parameters deemed necessary by the department.
(2) Routine annual water sampling parameters:
1. Total organic halogen.
2. Phenols.
3. Any additional parameters deemed necessary
				by the department.
e. If the analytical results for a
				downgradient groundwater monitoring point do not fall within the control limits
				of two standard deviations above (or below for pH) the mean parameters, listed
				in subparagraphs 113.2(5)
"d"{\)
and (2), in a corresponding
				upgradient groundwater monitoring point and it cannot be demonstrated that a
				source other than an MSWLF unit caused the control limit exceedence, then the
				owner or operator shall comply with the groundwater assessment monitoring
				program requirements in subrule 113.10(6) and corrective action requirements in
				subrules 113.10(7), 113.10(8) and 113.10(9), if necessary.
