Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Site development plan. This plan must
				  include criteria that in the selection and design of a facility will provide
				  for the safeguarding of the health, welfare, and physical property of the
				  people and the environment through consideration of geology, soil conditions,
				  drainage, land use, zoning, adequacy of access roads and highways, and other
				  considerations as the specific facility dictates. The site development plan
				  must include the items listed in this section.
(b) General facility design.
(1) Facility access. The owner or operator
				  shall describe how access will be controlled for the facility such as the type
				  and location of fences or other suitable means of access control to prevent the
				  entry of livestock, to protect the public from exposure to potential health and
				  safety hazards, and to discourage unauthorized entry or uncontrolled disposal
				  of solid waste or hazardous materials.
(2) Waste movement. The owner or operator
				  shall submit a generalized process design and working plan of the overall
				  facility that includes, at a minimum:
(A) flow
				  diagrams indicating the storage, processing, and disposal sequences for the
				  various types of wastes and feedstocks received;
(B) schematic view drawings showing the
				  various phases of collection, separation, processing, and disposal as
				  applicable for the types of wastes and feedstocks received at the
				  facility;
(C) proposed ventilation
				  and odor control measures for each storage, separation, processing, and
				  disposal unit;
(D) generalized
				  construction details of all storage and processing units and ancillary
				  equipment (i.e., tanks, foundations, sumps, etc.) with regard to approximate
				  dimensions and capacities, construction materials, vents, covers, enclosures,
				  protective coatings of surfaces, etc. Performance data on all units shall be
				  provided;
(E) generalized
				  construction details of slab and subsurface supports of all storage and
				  processing components;
(F)
				  locations and engineering design details of all containment dikes or walls
				  (with indicated freeboard) proposed to enclose all storage and processing
				  components and all loading and unloading areas;
(G) plans for the storage of grease, oil, and
				  sludge on site including determinations of maximum periods of time all
				  separated materials will remain on site and the ultimate disposition of such
				  materials off site;
(H) proposed
				  disposition of effluent resulting from all processing operations; and
(I) for transfer stations, provide designs
				  for noise pollution control.
(3) Sanitation. The owner or operator shall
				  describe how solid waste processing facilities will be designed to facilitate
				  proper cleaning. This may be accomplished by:
(A) controlling surface drainage in the
				  vicinity of the facility to prevent surface water runoff onto, into, and off
				  the treatment area;
(B)
				  constructing walls and floors in operating areas of masonry, concrete, or other
				  hard-surfaced materials that can be hosed down and scrubbed;
(C) providing necessary connections and
				  equipment to permit thorough cleaning with water or steam; and
(D) providing adequate floor or sump drains
				  to remove wash water.
(4) Water pollution control. The owner or
				  operator shall describe how all liquids resulting from the operation of solid
				  waste processing facilities will be disposed of in a manner that will not cause
				  surface water or groundwater pollution. The owner or operator shall provide for
				  the treatment of wastewaters resulting from the process or from cleaning and
				  washing and specify how the procedure for wastewater disposal is in compliance
				  with the rules of the commission.
(5) Endangered species protection. If
				  necessary, the owner or operator shall describe how the facility will be
				  designed to protect endangered species.
