				  which a project would serve an area that is not being presently served by a
				  household hazardous waste program or which has not been served with the past
				  twelve months.
B. the number of
				  people served and the amount of the household hazardous waste to be collected
				  by the project.

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 11 - Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality › Part 3 - Hazardous Waste Management Regulations › Chapter 5 - Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality Groundwater Quality Standards › Rule 11-3-5.1 - Introduction (Adopted November 21, 1991)

Current through June 25, 2024
Mississippi groundwaters are among the basic resources of the
				  state. They are utilized for many economically beneficial purposes, including
				  agricultural irrigation, aquaculture, livestock watering, & industrial
				  manufacturing. The most critical use, however, is that it serves as the
				  principal source of drinking water in the state. In fact, over 90% of the
				  population of the state utilizes groundwater as its potable water supply.
				  Therefore, the standards adopted herein focus on preserving the quality of the
				  groundwater as a drinking water resource. In doing so, it is generally believed
				  that other uses will be adequately protected. It is the policy of the
				  Commission on Environmental Quality that where alternate technology is
				  available, groundwater should not be used for wastewater disposal. Therefore,
				  the standards adopted herein should not be misconstrued to allow or condone
				  deliberate, limited degradation of groundwater from disposal practices that can
				  be avoided with alternate technology.
Miss. Code Ann.

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 11 - Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality › Part 3 - Hazardous Waste Management Regulations › Chapter 5 - Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality Groundwater Quality Standards › Rule 11-3-5.2 - Applicability

Current through June 25, 2024
The standards adopted herein are applicable to all
				  groundwater aquifers with a total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration less
				  than 10,000 mg/l, except those incapable of yielding an adequate volume of
				  water to serve the potable water needs of an average residence using standard
				  well construction and pumping technology. Generally, the soil water
				  (unsaturated zone) and the saturated water found in clay or shale formations
				  (aquitards) do not yield water in sufficient quantities to be used as a potable
				  water supply, and the standards incorporated herein are not intended to apply
				  to such waters. However, some protection or remediation of these waters will be
				  necessary, particularly if it is determined that they may be interconnected
				  with other groundwater and thus impact the chemical quality of that water.
				  Also, it is recognized that the implementation of federal programs such as
				  Subtitle C of the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the
				  Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)
				  may require the applicability of these or more stringent standards to all
				  groundwater.

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 11 - Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality › Part 3 - Hazardous Waste Management Regulations › Chapter 5 - Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality Groundwater Quality Standards › Rule 11-3-5.3 - Numerical Groundwater Standards

Current through June 25, 2024
Groundwater is expected to meet the water quality standards
				  equivalent to the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of any constituent, as
				  established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Table 1 is a list of
				  those chemicals for which EPA has promulgated MCL's. As EPA adopts additional
				  or different MCL's, this table will be revised and updated accordingly. For
				  chemicals with no established MCL, the water quality standard shall be
				  calculated using the procedure outlined in this section.
A. Carcinogens
(1) A water quality standard may be
				calculated from Risk-Specific Doses (RSD's) developed according to EPA
				Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment. The RSD is an upper bound estimate
				of the average daily dose of a carcinogenic substance that corresponds to a
				specified excess cancer risk for lifetime exposure. The standards calculated
				are derived from the following basic formula:
RSD = (R/q1) x (W/I) Equation (1)
Where:
RSD = the Risk Specific Dose, or standard for the toxicant of
				  interest;
R = the specified risk level (e.g. 10-6);
q1 = the carcinogen slope factor (CSF) in (mg/kg/day)-1
				  developed by the Carginogen Assessment Group (CAG) of the EPA, Office of Health
				  & Environmental Assessment, or the EPA's Carcinogen Risk Assessment
				  Verification Endeavor (CRAVE) Workgroup;
W = the assumed weight of the exposed individual; and
I = the intake amount for a given time period.
(2) For purposes of calculating
				groundwater quality standards, it is assumed that the weight of the exposed
				individual (W) will be 70 kg & that the intake rate (I) will be 2
				liters/day over a lifetime. Therefore, equation (1) is reduced to:
RSD = 35 x R/q1 Equation (2)
(3) Except as provided in Paragraph E of this
				section, the standard calculated from Equation (2) shall correspond to a risk
				level (R) of no less than 10-6 for Class A & B carcinogens, or 10-5 for
				Class C carcinogens.

				Rules 1.2 and 1.3 of these regulations apply to all solid waste management
				facilities as described therein, unless otherwise specified or excluded in
				paragraph B. of this rule.

				1.4 of these regulations applies to all landfills as described therein, unless
				otherwise specified or excluded in paragraph B. of this rule.
(4) Rule 1.5 of these regulations applies to
				all transfer stations and to the storage and collection of solid wastes, unless
				otherwise specified or excluded in paragraph B. of this rule.
(5) Rule 1.6 of these regulations applies to
				all rubbish sites as described therein, unless otherwise specified or excluded
				in paragraph B. of this rule.
(6)
				Rule 1.7 of these regulations applies to all processing facilities as described
				therein, unless otherwise specified or excluded in paragraph B. of this
				rule.
(7) Rule 1.8 of these
				regulations applies to all land application sites as described therein, unless
				otherwise specified or excluded in paragraph B. of this rule.
(8) Rule 1.9 of these regulations applies to
				all composting facilities as described therein, unless otherwise specified or
				excluded in paragraph B. of this rule.
(9) Solid waste management facilities failing
				to satisfy these criteria are considered to be open dumps for purposes of State
				waste management planning and are prohibited under Section 4005 of RCRA and the
				Mississippi Solid Waste Disposal Law, where there are criteria applicable to
				the facilities.
(10) MSWLF units
				containing sewage sludge and failing to satisfy these criteria violate sections
				309 and 405(e) of the Clean Water Act.
(11) Solid waste management facilities which
				manage or dispose of sewage sludge must comply with 40 CFR 503 - Standards for
				the Use or Disposal of Sewage Sludge, which are incorporated herein and adopted
				by reference.

				six months of last receipt of wastes. Owners of MSWLF units that fail to
				complete closure requirements, as required in this paragraph, will be subject
				to all the requirements of this rule.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraphs A.1 and A.2 of
				this rule, the Commission or Permit Board may impose additional requirements on
				any landfill on a case-by-case basis in order to prevent, abate, control or
				correct groundwater contamination, public endangerment or as otherwise
				determined necessary to protect human health, welfare or the
				environment.
(4) All landfills that
				received waste on or after the effective date of these regulations, must comply
				with the requirements of this rule, unless otherwise specified.
