(A) A surface impoundment that is not covered
			 by paragraph (C) of this rule or rule
			 3745-67-21
			 of the Administrative Code must have a liner for all portions of the
			 impoundment(except for existing portions of such impoundments). The liner must
			 be designed, constructed, and installed to prevent any migration of wastes out
			 of the impoundment to the adjacent subsurface soil or ground water or surface
			 water at any time during the active life (including the closure period) of the
			 impoundment. The liner may be constructed of materials that allow wastes to
			 migrate into the liner (but not into the adjacent subsurface soil or ground
			 water or surface water) during the active life of the facility, provided that
			 the impoundment is closed in accordance with paragraph (A)(1) of rule
			 3745-56-28
			 of the Administrative Code. For impoundments that will be closed in accordance
			 with paragraph (A)(2) of rule
			 3745-56-28
			 of the Administrative Code, the liner must be constructed of materials that can
			 prevent wastes from migrating into the liner during the active life of the
			 facility. The liner must be:
(1) Constructed
			 of materials that have appropriate chemical properties and sufficient strength
			 and thickness to prevent failure due to pressure gradients (including static
			 head and external hydrogeologic forces), physical contact with the waste or
			 leachate to which they are exposed, climatic conditions, the stress of
			 installation, and the stress of daily operation; and
(2) Placed upon a foundation or base capable
			 of providing support to the liner and resistance to pressure gradients above
			 and below the liner to prevent failure of the liner due to settlement,
			 compression, or uplift; and
(3)
			 Installed to cover all surrounding earth likely to be in contact with the waste
			 or leachate.
Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-56 - Surface Impoundments, Waste Piles, and Tanks › Section 3745-56-22 - Action leakage rate

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The director will approve an action
			 leakage rate for surface impoundment units subject to paragraph (C) or (D) of
			 rule
			 3745-56-21
			 of the Administrative Code. The action leakage rate is the maximum design flow
			 rate that the leak detection system can remove without the fluid head on the
			 bottom liner exceeding one foot. The action leakage rate must include an
			 adequate safety margin to allow for uncertainties in the design(e.g., slope,
			 hydraulic conductivity, thickness of drainage material), construction,
			 operation, and location of the leak detection system, waste and leachate
			 characteristics, likelihood and amounts of other sources of liquids in the leak
			 detection system, and proposed response actions (e.g., the action leakage rate
			 must consider decreases in the flow capacity of the system over time resulting
			 from siltation and clogging, rib layover and creep of synthetic components of
			 the system, overburden pressures, etc.).
(B) To determine if the action leakage rate
			 has been exceeded, the owner or operator must convert the weekly or monthly
			 flow rate from the monitoring data obtained under paragraph (D) of rule
			 3745-56-26
			 of the Administrative Code to an average daily flow rate(gallons per acre per
			 day) for each sump. Unless the director approves a different calculation, the
			 average daily flow rate for each sump must be calculated weekly during the
			 active life and closure period, and if the unit is closed in accordance with
			 paragraph (B) of rule
			 3745-56-28
			 of the Administrative Code, monthly during the post-closure care period when
			 monthly monitoring is required under paragraph (D) of rule
			 3745-56-26
			 of the Administrative Code.

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-56 - Surface Impoundments, Waste Piles, and Tanks › Section 3745-56-51 - Design and operating requirements

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) A waste pile (except for an existing
			 portion of a waste pile) must have:
(1) A
			 liner that is designed, constructed, and installed to prevent any migration of
			 wastes out of the pile into the adjacent subsurface soil or ground water or
			 surface water at any time during the active life (including the closure period)
			 of the waste pile. The liner may be constructed of materials that may allow
			 waste to migrate into the liner itself (but not into the adjacent subsurface
			 soil or ground water or surface water) during the active life of the facility.
			 The liner must be:
(a) Constructed of
			 materials that have appropriate chemical properties and sufficient strength and
			 thickness to prevent failure due to pressure gradients (including static head
			 and external hydrogeologic forces), physical contact with the waste or leachate
			 to which they are exposed, climate conditions, the stress of installation, and
			 the stress of daily operation; and
(b) Placed upon a foundation or base capable
			 of providing support to the liner and resistance to pressure gradients above
			 and below the liner to prevent failure of the liner due to settlement,
			 compression, or uplift; and
(c)
			 Installed to cover all surrounding earth likely to be in contact with the waste
			 or leachate; and
Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-56 - Surface Impoundments, Waste Piles, and Tanks › Section 3745-56-52 - Action leakage rate

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The director will approve an action
			 leakage rate for waste pile units subject to paragraph (C) or (D) of rule
			 3745-56-51
			 of the Administrative Code. The action leakage rate is the maximum design flow
			 rate that the leak detection system can remove without the fluid head on the
			 bottom liner exceeding one foot. The action leakage rate must include an
			 adequate safety margin to allow for uncertainties in the design(e.g., slope,
			 hydraulic conductivity, thickness of drainage material), construction,
			 operation, and location of the leak detection system, waste and leachate
			 characteristics, likelihood and amounts of other sources of liquids in the leak
			 detection system, and proposed response actions (e.g., the action leakage rate
			 must consider decreases in the flow capacity of the system over time resulting
			 from siltation and clogging, rib layover and creep of synthetic components of
			 the system, overburden pressures, etc.).
(B) To determine if the action leakage rate
			 has been exceeded, the owner or operator must convert the weekly flow rate from
			 the monitoring data obtained under paragraph (C) of rule
			 3745-56-54
			 of the Administrative Code to an average daily flow rate(gallons per acre per
			 day) for each sump. Unless the director approves a different calculation, the
			 average daily flow rate for each sump must be calculated weekly during the
			 active life and closure period.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The owner or operator of waste pile units
			 subject to paragraph (C) or (D) of rule
			 3745-56-51
			 of the Administrative Code must have an approved response action plan before
			 receipt of waste. The response action plan must set forth the actions to be
			 taken if the action leakage rate has been exceeded. At a minimum, the response
			 action plan must describe the actions specified in paragraph (B) of this rule.
(B) If the flow rate into the leak
			 detection system exceeds the action leakage rate for any sump, the owner or
			 operator must:
(1) Notify the director in
			 writing of the exceedance within seven days of the determination;
(2) Submit a preliminary written assessment
			 to the director within fourteen days of the determination, as to the amount of
			 liquids, likely sources of liquids, possible location, size, and cause of any
			 leaks, and short-term actions taken and planned;
(3) Determine to the extent practicable the
			 location, size, and cause of any leak;
(4) Determine whether waste receipt should
			 cease or be curtailed, whether any waste should be removed from the unit for
			 inspection, repairs, or controls, and whether or not the unit should be closed;
(5) Determine any other short-term
			 and long-term actions to be taken to mitigate or stop any leaks; and
(6) Within thirty days after the notification
			 that the action leakage rate has been exceeded, submit to the director the
			 results of the analyses specified in paragraphs (B)(3), (B)(4), and (B)(5) of
			 this rule, the results of actions taken, and actions planned. Monthly
			 thereafter, as long as the flow rate in the leak detection system exceeds the
			 action leakage rate, the owner or operator must submit to the director a report
			 summarizing the results of any remedial actions taken and actions planned.
