New Mexico Administrative Code › Title 20 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Chapter 9 - SOLID WASTE › Part 3 - SOLID WASTE FACILITY PERMITS AND REGISTRATIONS › Section 20.9.3.12 - ADDITIONAL PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFORMATION FACILITIES

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
A. Any person
				seeking a permit for a transformation facility shall submit the following
				information in addition to that required under 20.9.3.8 NMAC:
(1) the composition of the waste to be
				received at the facility;
(2) the
				method to be used to convert the waste into a feedstock for the transformation
				process, including material separation and recovery systems;
(3) if the transformation process is other
				than biological, a characterization of the feedstock used as the design basis
				of the facility that shows:
(a) composition
				by material type; and
(b) physical
				and chemical properties, including moisture content, ash content, and higher
				heating value;
(4) if
				the transformation is by means of a biological process, a characterization of
				the feedstock used as the design basis of the facility that shows:
(a) composition by material type;
(b) physical and chemical properties,
				including moisture content and percent organic and inorganic matter;
(c) process efficiency, as measured by
				conversion of volatile solids; and
(d) end products or residue;
(5) the proposed location and
				method for disposal, storage or processing of liquid or solid residues and end
				products produced by operation of the facility;
(6) the process for separation, storage and
				disposal of waste generated by the process, including the temporary storage of
				bulky wastes;
(7) the minimum and
				maximum volumes of the types of material or solid waste to be stored prior to
				sale, reuse or disposal, and the minimum and maximum time that material or
				waste will be stored;
(8) facility
				plans and elevations, drawn to scale, and specifications including:
(a) equipment layout;
(b) the most recent full size United States
				geological survey topographic map of the area, showing the waste facility
				boundary, the property boundary, and existing utilities and structures within
				500 feet of the property boundary;
(c) the location of electric power
				transmission and distribution lines, pipelines, railroads and public and
				private roads within 300 feet of the proposed facility;
(d) the transformation unit, with feed area
				and residue removal;
(e) all
				conveyors, ramps and other devices used to move material the
				facility;
(f) control room and
				equipment; and
(g) pollution
				control equipment;
(9)
				an operations and maintenance manual that includes:
(a) current policies and
				procedures;
(b) the operating
				requirements for the various stages of transformation; and
(c) all information that would enable
				supervisory and operating personnel, and persons evaluating the operation of
				the facility, to determine the sequence of operation, plans, diagrams,
				policies, procedures and legal requirements which must be followed for orderly
				and successful operations;
(10) a description of the facility operation
				which includes:
(a) a sequential description
				of the major components used for the treatment of the solid waste starting from
				its delivery at the facility and continuing through the residue and ash
				treatment and loading operations;
(b) procedures for facility start-up, and
				scheduled and unscheduled shut downs;
(c) a description of potential safety hazards
				and methods of control, including, but not limited to, arrangements to detect
				explosion potential and equipment installed to minimize the impact of
				explosion; and
(d) a description of
				personnel safety equipment and protective gear, including, but not limited to,
				showers, eye wash, fire extinguishers, hoses, hard hats, safety goggles,
				hearing protection, and proposed personnel hygiene
				facilities;
(11) an
				operations plan that includes all plant systems complete with process flow and
				instrumentation diagrams and heat and material balances; and
(12) residue testing methods and
				procedures.
