Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 14, July 12, 2024
A. Phase III-Engineering Plans and
				  Specifications. Ten complete sets of plans and engineering reports covering the
				  proposed project, prepared, signed, and bearing the seal of a registered
				  professional engineer shall be submitted to the Approving Authority. 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 existing and proposed
				  structures and on-site roads.
(2) A
				  description of any vehicle weighing facilities, communications (telephones,
				  radios), maintenance and equipment storage facilities, and water supply and
				  sewerage systems. On-site water supply and sewerage systems shall be approved
				  by the Approving Authority.
(3) A
				  description of the:
(a) Types of solid waste:
(i) To be accepted,
(ii) Not to be accepted;
(b) Area and population to be served by the
				  facility.
(4) The
				  anticipated quantities of solid waste to be accepted and the calculations used
				  to determine the useful life of the facility.
(5) Proposed methods of collecting and
				  reporting data on the quantities and types of solid waste received and for
				  revising facility life expectancy projections.
(6) The volume and type of available cover
				  material, the calculated volume of earth needed for periodic, intermediate, and
				  final cover, the location of earth stockpiles, and provisions for saving
				  topsoil for use as final cover.
(7)
				  Proposed means of controlling unauthorized access to the site.
(8) 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.
(9) The location and depth of solid waste
				  cells and the sequence of filling.
(10) Natural or artificial screening to be
				  used.
(11) 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 local soil conservation district and satisfy the requirements of
				  Environment Article, Title 4, Subtitle 1, and COMAR 26.09.01.
(12) A contingency plan for preventing or
				  mitigating the pollution of the waters of this State.
(13) Proposed methods for covering and
				  stabilizing completed areas.
(14) A
				  system for monitoring the quality of the waters of the 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.
(15) If the Department determines that
				  contamination of waters of the State has occurred or is liable to occur as a
				  result of operation of the landfill, the Approving Authority may:
(a) Require the permit holder to periodically
				  collect and analyze ground water or surface waters at the permitted site and to
				  submit the results to the Approving Authority;
(b) Specify the number and location of the
				  sampling stations, the frequency of the analyses, the sampling and analyses
				  procedures, the pollutants to be monitored, and the reporting period.
(16) A schedule for implementing
				  construction and implementation of the operation plans and engineering
				  specifications once the refuse disposal permit has been issued.
(17) A landfill closure and post-closure plan
				  to be followed over a period of not less than 5 years after application of
				  final cover.
(18) 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
				  submitted to the Approving Authority once effected.
(19) An engineered design, as described in §C
				  of this regulation, for a liner system and leachate collection system for the
				  proposed rubble landfill based upon geotechnical information developed in
				  Regulations .14 and .15 of this chapter.
(20) A proposed method, engineering
				  specifications, and plans for the collection, management, treatment, and
				  disposal of leachate generated at the facility, including the calculations used
				  to determine the estimated quantities of leachate to be generated, managed,
				  stored, treated, and disposed.
