Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-50 - Hazardous Waste Management System-General › Section 3745-50-44 - Contents of "Part B" of the permit application

Current through all
			 regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
"Part B" information requirements in this rule reflect the
				standards established in Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57 and 3745-205 of the
				Administrative Code. These information requirements are necessary in order to
				determine compliance with Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57 and 3745-205 of the
				Administrative Code. If owners and operators of hazardous waste management
				facilities can demonstrate that the information prescribed in "Part B" cannot
				be provided to the extent required, the director may make allowance for
				submittal of such information on a case-by-case basis. Information required in
				"Part B" shall be submitted to the director and signed in accordance with rule
				3745-50-42 of the Administrative
				Code. Certain technical data, such as design drawings and specifications, and
				engineering studies shall be certified by a qualified professional engineer.
				For post-closure permits, only the information specified in paragraph (C)(14)
				of this rule is required in "Part B" of the permit application. As used in this
				rule, "in operation" has the same meaning as in rule
				3745-50-10 of the Administrative
				Code. "Part B" of the permit application includes the following:

				plan, specific requirements in 
										rules
				3745-55-100 and 3745-56-27
				of the Administrative Code.]
(8) A description of procedures, structures,
			 or equipment used at the facility to:
(a)
			 Prevent hazards in unloading operations (for example, ramps, special
			 forklifts);
(b)
			 Prevent run-off from hazardous waste handling areas to other areas of the
			 facility or environment, or to prevent flooding (for example, berms, dikes,
			 trenches);
(c)
			 Prevent contamination of water supplies;
(d) Mitigate effects of equipment failure and
			 power outages;
(e)
			 Prevent undue exposure of personnel to hazardous waste (for example, protective
			 clothing);
			 and
(f)
										
										Prevent
			 releases to the atmosphere.
(9) A description of precautions to prevent
			 accidental ignition or reaction of ignitable wastes, reactive wastes, or
			 incompatible wastes as required to demonstrate compliance with rule
			 3745-54-17 of the Administrative
			 Code, including documentation demonstrating compliance with paragraph (C) of
			 rule 3745-54-17 of the Administrative
			 Code.
(10) Traffic pattern,
			 estimated volume (number, types of vehicles) and control
			 [ for
			 example, show turns across traffic lanes, and stacking lanes (if appropriate),
			 describe access road surfacing and load-bearing capacity, show traffic control
			 signals].
(11)
			 Facility location information:
(a)
			 [Reserved.]
(b)
			 [Reserved.]
(c) Owners and
			 operators of all facilities shall provide an identification of whether the
			 facility is located within a one-hundred-year floodplain. This identification
			 shall indicate the source of data for such determination and include a copy of
			 the relevant federal insurance administration (FIA) flood map, if used, or the
			 calculations and maps used where an FIA map is not available. Information shall
			 be provided identifying the one-hundred-year flood level and any other special
			 flooding factors (e.g., wave action) which shall be considered in designing,
			 constructing, operating, or maintaining the facility to withstand washout from
			 a one-hundred-year flood.
[Comment: Where maps for the "National Flood Insurance Program"
				produced by the FIA of the federal emergency management agency are available,
				these maps will normally be determinative of whether a facility is located
				within or outside of the one-hundred-year floodplain. However, where the FIA
				maps exclude an area (usually an area of the floodplain less than two hundred
				feet in width), this area shall be considered and a determination made as to
				whether the area is in the one-hundred-year floodplain. Where FIA maps are not
				available for a proposed facility location, the owner or operator shall use
				equivalent mapping techniques to determine whether the facility is within the
				one-hundred-year floodplain, and if so located, what the one-hundred-year flood
				elevation would be.]
(d)
			 Owners and operators of facilities located in the one-hundred-year floodplain
			 shall provide the following information:
(i)
			 Engineering analysis to indicate the various hydrodynamic and hydrostatic
			 forces expected to result at the site as a consequence of a one-hundred-year
			 flood.
(ii) Structural or other
			 engineering studies showing the design of operational units (e.g., tanks,
			 incinerators) and flood protection devices (e.g., floodwalls, dikes) at the
			 facility and how these will prevent washout.
(iii) If applicable, and in lieu of
			 paragraphs (A)(11)(d)(i) and (A)(11)(d)(ii) of this rule, a detailed
			 description of procedures to be followed to remove hazardous waste to safety
			 before the facility is flooded, including:
(a)
			 Timing of such movement relative to flood levels, including estimated time to
			 move the waste, to show that such movement can be completed before floodwaters
			 reach the facility.
(b) A
			 description of the locations to which the waste will be moved and demonstration
			 that those facilities will be eligible to receive hazardous waste:
(i) In accordance with rules
			 3745-50-40 to
			 3745-50-235 and Chapters
			 3745-54 to
			 3745-57,
			 3745-65 to
			 3745-69,
			 3745-205,
			 3745-256, and
			 3745-266 of the Administrative
			 Code; or
(ii) If the waste is moved
			 to a facility in another state administrating a hazardous waste program under
			 40 CFR Part 271, in accordance with the rules of such state.
(c) The planned procedures,
			 equipment, and personnel to be used and the means to ensure that such resources
			 will be available in time for use.
(d) The potential for accidental discharges
			 of the waste during movement.
(e) Owners and operators of facilities in
			 operation immediately prior to October 9, 1980 which are not in compliance with
			 paragraph (B) of rule
			 3745-54-18 of the Administrative
			 Code shall provide a plan showing how the facility will be brought into
			 compliance and a schedule for compliance.
(12) An outline of both the introductory and
			 continuing training programs by owners or operators to prepare persons to
			 operate or maintain the hazardous waste facility in a safe manner as required
			 to demonstrate compliance with rule
			 3745-54-16 of the Administrative
			 Code. A brief description of how training will be designed to meet actual job
			 tasks in accordance with paragraph (A)(3) of rule
			 3745-54-16 of the Administrative
			 Code.
(13) A copy of the closure
			 plan and, where applicable, the post-closure plan required by rules
			 3745-55-12,
			 3745-55-18, and
			 3745-55-97 of the Administrative
			 Code.
Where applicable, include as part of the plans specific
				requirements in rules
				3745-55-78,
				3745-55-97,

			 submit such information as may be necessary to enable the director to carry out
			 the director's duties under other Ohio laws.
(21) For land disposal facilities, if a
			 case-by-case extension has been approved pursuant to rule
			 3745-270-05 of the
