Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-400 - Disposal Methods for Construction and Demolition Debris; Licensed Facilities › Section 3745-400-08 - Construction and final closure certification

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Upon completion of construction of an
			 engineered component required by rule
			 3745-400-07
			 of the Administrative Code, the owner or operator shall submit to the licensing
			 authority, a construction certification report. The construction certification
			 report shall certify that construction complies with the construction and
			 performance specifications contained in rules
			 3745-400-07
			 and
			 3745-400-10
			 of the Administrative Code.
[Comment: Certification follows the facility design plan of
				rule
				3745-400-07
				of the Administrative Code, in that there are certification reports to certify
				the construction of engineered components of the soil liner, leachate
				collection system, and final cap system, and a certification report to certify
				the ground water monitoring well system. In addition, a final certification
				report is required to certify final closure in accordance with rule
				3745-400-12
				of the Administrative Code.]
(1)
			 Certification of installation of ground water monitoring wells, as required by
			 paragraph (A) of rule
			 3745-400-10
			 of the Administrative Code, shall be submitted to the licensing authority prior
			 to or with the annual ground water report required by paragraph (B) of rule
			 3745-400-10
			 of the Administrative Code if the ground water monitoring report identifies new
			 ground water monitoring wells.
[Comment: The licensing authority is not required to approve
				the certification report. However for new areas which are to be licensed for
				disposal, disposal cannot take place until the monitoring wells necessary to
				monitor the active licensed disposal area are installed and the first ground
				water sampling has occurred, as indicated in paragraph (D)(4) of rule
				3745-400-11
				of the Administrative Code.]
(2) Certification of construction of the
			 engineered components shall be submitted to the licensing authority
			 
									not later
			 than sixty days 
									after completion of construction. Engineered
			 components requiring construction certification are those components contained
			 in the facility construction design plan required by paragraph (F) of rule
			 3745-400-07
			 of the Administrative Code and any barrier layer designed and shown in the
			 license application for a facility in accordance with rule
			 3745-37-02
			 of the Administrative Code.
[Comment: The licensing authority is not required to approve
				the certification report. However for areas which are to be licensed for
				disposal, disposal cannot take place until the report is received and the
				licensing authority inspects the area as indicated in paragraph (D)(3) of rule
				3745-400-11
				of the Administrative Code. The leachate collection system, when constructed in
				phases ahead of the working face, requires certification and inspection for
				each construction phase.]
(3) Certification that the engineered
			 components of the final cap system, required by paragraph (G) of rule
			 3745-400-07
			 of the Administrative Code and contained in the final cap system design plan,
			 have been constructed shall be submitted to the licensing authority within
			 sixty days of completion of construction. The owner or operator may construct
			 portions of the final cap system as active licensed disposal areas are brought
			 to final grade. The licensing authority shall review the certification report
			 and either approve or deny the construction.
[Comment: The release of final closure financial assurance by
				the licensing authority upon construction certification of engineered
				components of the final cap system is addressed in paragraph (A)(6) of rule
				3745-400-13
				of the Administrative Code.]
