				30.669 and the down gradient facility
				property boundary, the owner or operator shall institute a corrective action
				program pursuant to

(1) The groundwater monitoring system shall
				consist of a sufficient number of wells, installed at appropriate locations and
				depths, to yield from the uppermost aquifer groundwater samples that:
(a) Represent the quality of background
				groundwater that has not been affected by leakage from a regulated unit.
A determination of background quality may include sampling of
				  wells that are not hydraulically upgradient of the waste management area
				  where:
1. Hydrogeologic conditions do
				not allow the owner or operator to determine what wells are hydraulically
				upgradient; and
2. Sampling at
				other wells will provide an indication of background ground-water quality that
				is representative or more representative than that provided by upgradient
				wells; and

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
The Department shall impose, and the owner or operator shall
				  comply with, conditions in the facility's license that are designed to ensure
				  that hazardous constituents which are identified pursuant to

				  When hazardous constituents have been detected the groundwater from a regulated
				  unit, the Department shall, in the facility's license, impose conditions which
				  meet the requirements of 310 CMR 30.665. The Department may impose such
				  conditions in the facility's license before hazardous constituents have been
				  detected in the groundwater from a regulated unit.

(2) Each containment system shall be
				designed, constructed, operated and maintained as follows:
(a) Underlying the containers shall be a base
				which is free of cracks and gaps and is sufficiently impervious to contain
				leaks, spills, and accumulated precipitation until the collected material is
				detected and removed;
(b) Unless
				the containers are elevated or are otherwise protected from contact with
				accumulated liquids, the base shall be sloped or the containment system shall
				be otherwise designed, constructed, operated and maintained to drain and remove
				liquids resulting from leaks, spills, or precipitation.
(c) For containers which are stored indoors
				or under a roof, the containment system shall have the capacity to contain
				either 10% of the total possible contained volume of the containers or 100% of
				the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. For containers which
				are stored outdoors, the containment system shall have the capacity to contain
				either 10% of the total possible contained volume of the containers or 110% of

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
310 CMR 30.701 applies to all inland and coastal land subject
				  to flooding. The provisions that apply vary with the category of hazardous
				  waste management unit and when the unit came into existence. 310 CMR 30.701(6)
				  (for new or expanding units) and 30.701(7) (for existing units) apply to
				  landfills, land treatment units, surface impoundments, waste piles and
				  miscellaneous units. 310 CMR 30.701(1) through (5) apply to all other treatment
				  or storage units.
(1) No active
				portion of a new storage or treatment facility which receives hazardous waste
				from any off-site source shall be located within the boundary of land subject
				to flooding from the statistical 100-year frequency storm.
(a) This boundary shall be determined by
				reference to the most recently available flood profile data prepared pursuant
				to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for the city or town within
				which the facility is proposed to be located. Said boundary, as so determined,
				shall be presumed accurate. Whenever required by the Department, the owner or
				operator shall submit such information with the license application to the
				Department. This presumption may be overcome only by credible evidence,
				persuasive to the Department, submitted by an independent Massachusetts
				registered professional engineer or other professional competent in such
				matters.
(b) Where NFIP profile
				data is unavailable, the license applicant shall determine the boundary of the
				land subject to flooding by using engineering calculations which shall be based
				upon the standard methodologies set forth in the U.S. Soil Conservation Service
				Technical Release No. 55,
Urban Hydrology For Small Watersheds
and section 4 of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service,
National
				Engineering Hydrology Handbook
. Another methodology may be used with
				written approval from the Department. This determination shall be made by an
				independent Massachusetts registered professional engineer or other
				professional competent in such matters.

				watershed area shall be as delineated by the Department on overlays of U.S.G.S.
				topographic maps.
(2) No new or
				replacement underground tank shall be located within the watershed of a class A
				or class SA segment of a surface water body unless the owner or operator
				persuades the Department that there is no feasible alternative to storage or
				treatment in an underground tank (
e.g.
, another permitting
				authority requires that a particular waste be stored underground). The
				watershed area shall be as delineated by the Department on overlays of U.S.G.S.
				topographic maps.

e.g.
, another permitting authority requires that the waste be
				stored or treated underground).
(2)
				No active portion of a new hazardous waste landfill, land treatment unit,
				surface impoundment, miscellaneous unit or waste pile shall be located:
(a) on land which is overlying an actual,
				planned or potential public underground drinking water source
				(
see

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
(1)
(a) Except as provided in 310 CMR
				30.704(1)(b), no active portion of a new hazardous waste landfill shall be
				located in the flow path of groundwater supplying water to an existing well
				which is used as a source of drinking water supply by a person other than a
				public water system and which is located within a distance that corresponds to
				20 years of travel of groundwater which has traversed the facility site
				(
see
Figure 30.704). If such a well is located outside the
				natural flowpath of groundwater traversing the facility site, the Department
				may specify an appropriate buffer zone to ensure that groundwater traversing
				the facility site does not supply such a well. The owner or operator need not
				make such a determination of time-of-travel for any such well located one mile
				or more downgradient from the active portion of the facility. In no case shall
				any active portion of any hazardous waste landfill be located within 1000 feet
				of an existing well used as a source of drinking water supply by a person other
				than a public water system.
(b)310
				CMR 30.704(1)(a) shall not apply if the owner or operator:
1. provides to the affected person(s)
				alternative drinking water which is acceptable to the Department; or
2. purchases the affected water
				rights.
