				  R.61-79.270.11(d)(d), that attests to the tank system's integrity by January
				  12, 1988.
(b) This assessment must
				  determine that the tank system is adequately designed and has sufficient
				  structural strength and compatibility with the waste(s) to be stored or
				  treated, to ensure that it will not collapse, rupture, or fail. At a minimum,
				  this assessment must consider the following:
(1) Design standard(s), if available,
				  according to which the tank and ancillary equipment were constructed;
(2) Hazardous characteristics of the waste(s)
				  that have been and will be handled;
(3) Existing corrosion protection
				  measures;
(4) Documented age of the
				  tank system, if available (otherwise, an estimate of the age); and
(5) Results of a leak test, internal
				  inspection, or other tank integrity examination such that:
(i) For non-enterable underground tanks, the
				  assessment must include a leak test that is capable of taking into account the
				  effects of temperature variations, tank end deflection, vapor pockets, and high
				  water table effects, and
(ii) For
				  other than non-enterable underground tanks and for ancillary equipment, this
				  assessment must include either a leak test, as described above, or other
				  integrity examination that is certified by a qualified Professional Engineer in
				  accordance with R.61-79.270.11(d)(d), that addresses cracks, leaks, corrosion,
				  and erosion.
[Note: The practices described in the American Petroleum
					 Institute (API) Publication, Guide for Inspection of Refinery Equipment,
					 Chapter XIII, Atmospheric and Low Pressure Storage Tanks, 4th edition, 1981,
					 may be used, where applicable, as guidelines in conducting other than a leak
					 test.]

				  monitoring and leak detection equipment (e.g., pressure or temperature gauges,
				  monitoring wells) to ensure that the tank system is being operated according to
				  its design.
[Note: Section264.15(c)(c) requires the owner or operator
					 to remedy any deterioration or malfunction he finds. Section264.196 requires
					 the owner or operator to notify the Department within 24 hours of confirming a
					 leak. Also, 40 CFR part 302 may require the owner or operator to notify the
					 National Response Center of a release.]
(c) In addition, except as noted under
				  paragraph (d) of this section, the owner or operator must inspect at least once
				  each operating day:
(1) Above ground portions
				  of the tank system, if any, to detect corrosion or releases of waste.
(2) The construction materials and the area
				  immediately surrounding the externally accessible portion of the tank system,
				  including the secondary containment system (e.g., dikes) to detect erosion or
				  signs of releases of hazardous waste (e.g., wet spots, dead
				  vegetation).

				  the flow of hazardous waste into the tank system or secondary containment
				  system and inspect the system to determine the cause of the release.
(b) Removal of waste from tank system or
				  secondary containment system.
(1) If the
				  release was from the tank system, the owner/operator must, within 24 hours
				  after detection of the leak or, if the owner/operator demonstrates that it is
				  not possible, at the earliest practicable time, remove as much of the waste as
				  is necessary to prevent further release of hazardous waste to the environment
				  and to allow inspection and repair of the tank system to be
				  performed.
(2) If the material
				  released was to a secondary containment system all released materials must be
				  removed within 24 hours or in as timely a manner as is possible to prevent harm
				  to human health and the environment.
South Carolina Code of Regulations › Chapter 61 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL › Subchapter 61-79 - Hazardous Waste Management Regulations › Part 61-79.264 - STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart J - TANK SYSTEMS › Section 61-79.264.J.197 - Closure and post-closure care

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) At closure of a tank system, the owner or
				  operator must remove or decontaminate all waste residues, contaminated
				  containment system components (liners, etc.), contaminated soils, and
				  structures and equipment contaminated with waste, and manage them as hazardous
				  waste, unless R.61-79.261.3(d)(d)applies. The closure plan, closure activities,
				  cost estimates for closure, and financial responsibility for tank systems must
				  meet all of the requirements specified in Subparts G and H of this
				  Regulation.
(b) If the owner or
				  operator demonstrates that not all contaminated soils can be practicably
				  removed or decontaminated as required in paragraph (a) of this section, then
				  the owner or operator must close the tank system and perform post-closure care
				  in accordance with the closure and post-closure care requirements that apply to
				  landfills (Subpart N Section264.310). In addition, for the purposes of closure,
				  post-closure, and financial responsibility, such a tank system is then
				  considered to be a landfill, and the owner or operator must meet all of the
				  requirements for landfills specified in Subparts G and H of this
				  Regulation.
(c) If an owner or
				  operator has a tank system that does not have secondary containment that meets
				  the requirements of Section264.193 (b) through (f) and has not been granted a
				  variance from the secondary containment requirements in accordance with
				  Section264.193(g)(g), then:
(1) The closure
				  plan for the tank system must include both a plan for complying with paragraph
				  (a) of this section and a contingent plan for complying with paragraph (b) of
				  this section.
(2) A contingent
				  post-closure plan for complying with paragraph (b) of this section must be
				  prepared and submitted as part of the permit application.
(3) The cost estimates calculated for closure
				  and post-closure care must reflect the costs of complying with the contingent
				  closure plan and the contingent post-closure plan, if those costs are greater
				  than the costs of complying with the closure plan prepared for the expected
				  closure under paragraph (a) of this section.
(4) Financial assurance must be based on the
				  cost estimates in paragraph (c)(3) of this section.
(5) For the purposes of the contingent
				  closure and post-closure plans, such a tank system is considered to be a
				  landfill, and the contingent plans must meet all of the closure, post-closure,
				  and financial responsibility requirements for landfills under Subparts G and H
				  of this Part.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
The regulations in this subpart apply to owners and
					 operators of facilities that use surface impoundments to treat, store, or
					 dispose of hazardous waste except as Subpart A Section264.1 provides
					 otherwise.
South Carolina Code of Regulations › Chapter 61 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL › Subchapter 61-79 - Hazardous Waste Management Regulations › Part 61-79.264 - STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart K - SURFACE IMPOUNDMENTS › Section 61-79.264.K.221 - Design and operating requirements

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) Any surface impoundment that is not
				  covered by paragraph (c) of this section or R.61-79.265.221 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 groundwater 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 may allow wastes to migrate into the liner (but
				  not into the adjacent subsurface soil or groundwater or surface water) during
				  the active life of the facility, provided that the impoundment is closed in
				  accordance with Section264.228(a)(1)(a)(1). For impoundments that will be
				  closed in accordance with Section264.228(a)(2)(a)(2), 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;
(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.
South Carolina Code of Regulations › Chapter 61 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL › Subchapter 61-79 - Hazardous Waste Management Regulations › Part 61-79.264 - STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart K - SURFACE IMPOUNDMENTS › Section 61-79.264.K.222 - Action leakage rate

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) The
				  Department shall approve an action leakage rate for surface impoundment units
				  subject to 264.221 (c) or (d). The action leakage rate is the maximum design
				  flow rate that the leak detection system (LDS) can remove without the fluid
				  head on the bottom liner exceeding 1 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 LDS, waste and leachate characteristics,
				  likelihood and amounts of other sources of liquids in the LDS, 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
				  264.226(d) to an average daily flow rate (gallons per acre per day) for each
				  sump. Unless the Department 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
				  section264.228(b)(b), monthly during the post-closure care period when monthly
				  monitoring is required under section264.226(d)(d).

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) The
				  owner or operator of surface impoundment units subject to section264.221 (c) or
				  (d) 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 section.
(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 Department in writing of
				  the exceedance within 7 days of the determination;
(2) Submit a preliminary written assessment
				  to the Department within 14 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 longer-term actions to be taken to mitigate or stop any leaks;
				  and
(6) Within 30 days after the
				  notification that the action leakage rate has been exceeded, submit to the
				  Department the results of the analyses specified in paragraphs (b) (3), (4),
				  and (5) of this section, 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
				  Department a report summarizing the results of any remedial actions taken and
				  actions planned.

(a)
				  During construction and installation, liners [except in the case of existing
				  portions of surface impoundments exempt from Section264.221(a)(a)] and cover
				  systems (e.g., membranes, sheets, or coatings) must be inspected for
				  uniformity, damage, and imperfections (e.g., holes, cracks, thin spots, or
				  foreign materials). Immediately after construction or installation:
(1) Synthetic liners and covers must be
				  inspected to ensure tight seams and joints and the absence of tears, punctures,
				  or blisters; and,
(2) Soil-based
				  and admixed liners and covers must be inspected for imperfections including
				  lenses, cracks, channels, root holes, or other structural non-uniformities that
				  may cause an increase in the permeability of the liner or cover.

				  that is inside or under a structure that provides protection from precipitation
				  so that neither run-off nor leachate is generated is not subject to regulation
				  under Section264.251 below or under Subpart F of this regulation, provided
				  that:
(1) Liquids or materials containing
				  free liquids are not placed in the pile;
(2) The pile is protected from surface water
				  run-on by the structure or in some other manner;
(3) The pile is designed and operated to
				  control dispersal of the waste by wind, where necessary, by means other than
				  wetting; and
(4) The pile will not
				  generate leachate through decomposition or other reactions.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 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 groundwater 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 groundwater or surface water) during the active life of the facility.
				  The liner must be:
(i) 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;
(ii)
				  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
(iii) Installed to cover all surrounding
				  earth likely to be in contact with the waste or leachate; and,

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) The
				  Department shall approve an action leakage rate for waste pile units subject to
				  264.251(c) or (d). The action leakage rate is the maximum design flow rate that
				  the leak detection system (LDS) can remove without the fluid head on the bottom
				  liner exceeding 1 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 LDS, waste and leachate characteristics, likelihood and amounts
				  of other sources of liquids in the LDS, 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 section264.254(c)(c) to an average daily
				  flow rate (gallons per acre per day) for each sump. Unless the Department
				  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 Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) The
				  owner or operator of waste pile units subject to 264.251 (c) or (d) 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 section.
(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 Department in writing of
				  the exceedance within 7 days of the determination;
(2) Submit a preliminary written assessment
				  to the Department within 14 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 30 days after the
				  notification that the action leakage rate has been exceeded, submit to the
				  Department the results of the analyses specified in paragraphs (b) (3), (4),
				  and (5) of this section, 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
				  Department a report summarizing the results of any remedial actions taken and
				  actions planned.

(a)
				  During construction or installation, liners [except in the case of existing
				  portions of piles exempt from Section264.251(a)(a)] and cover systems (e.g.,
				  membranes, sheets, or coatings) must be inspected for uniformity, damage, and
				  imperfections (e.g., holes, cracks, thin spots, or foreign materials).
				  Immediately after construction or installation:
(1) Synthetic liners and covers must be
				  inspected to ensure tight seams and joints and the absence of tears, punctures,
				  or blisters; and,
(2) Soil-based
				  and admixed liners and covers must be inspected for imperfections including
				  lenses, cracks, channels, root holes, or other structural non-uniformities that
				  may cause an increase in the permeability of the liner or cover.
