Code of Maine Rules › 06 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 096 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - GENERAL › Chapter 418 - BENEFICIAL USE OF SOLID WASTES › Section 096-418-5 - Authorization Through Notification for the Beneficial Use of Emulsified Asphalt Encapsulated Petroleum Contaminated Soil When Certified by a Professional Engineer

Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
The notification provisions established by this section apply
				  to the beneficial use of emulsified asphalt encapsulated petroleum contaminated
				  soil (encapsulated petroleum contaminated soil) as construction fill underneath
				  paved roads and parking lots, and in other civil engineering applications, when
				  the material is from a solid waste processing facility licensed by the
				  Department to produce encapsulated petroleum contaminated soil, a professional
				  engineer licensed with the State of Maine certifies through the notification
				  form provided in Appendix C of this rule that all of the provisions of this
				  section will be met, and the owner of the property where the encapsulated
				  petroleum contaminated soil will be used agrees to comply with the project
				  described in the notification package.
By establishing these notification provisions, the Department
				  finds that the beneficial use of encapsulated petroleum contaminated soil in
				  strict conformity with the notification provisions will meet the general
				  standards in section
				  4 of this rule.
Proposed beneficial uses of emulsified asphalt encapsulated
				  contaminated soil as construction fill that do not meet all requirements of
				  this section must be licensed under either section
				  6(B) or section
				  9 of this rule.
A.
Notification Requirements.
At
				least 5 working days prior to the initiation of the beneficial use project, a
				completed notification form signed and sealed by a professional engineer
				licensed with the State of Maine shall be submitted to the Department. The
				notification must be submitted on the form provided by the Department in
				Appendix C of this rule. The notification must include:
(1) The appropriate notification fee, payable
				to Treasurer, State of Maine;
(2)
				A narrative description of the project, and the following information:
(a) A site plan showing where encapsulated
				petroleum contaminated soil will be placed;
(b) An U.S.G.S. 7.5 minute topographic map or
				equivalent map clearly marking the project location, along with the GPS
				coordinates of the project; and,
(c) A cross-sectional view, with a horizontal
				scale of
				1 inch = 5 feet and a vertical scale
				of 1 inch = 12 inches (unless an alternative scale is approved by the
				Department) of each location on the property where encapsulated soil will be
				placed. The cross sections must clearly indicate the location and depth of each
				material layer as applicable (construction fill, paved surface course, other
				construction, etc.) and be representative of the project as a whole;
				and,
(3) The amount of
				emulsified petroleum contaminated soil to be used in the project, and the
				anticipated timeframe for the beneficial use project including the expected
				start and completion dates.
