					 the specific food-chain crops which he intends to grow and necessary
					 documentation of the following:
(a)
(1) The owner or operator must demonstrate
				  that there is no substantial risk to human health caused by the growth of such
				  crops in or on the treatment zone by demonstrating, prior to the planting of
				  such crops, that hazardous constituents other than cadmium:
(i) Will not be transferred to the food or
				  feed portions of the crop by plant uptake or direct contact, and will not
				  otherwise be ingested by food-chain animals (e.g., by grazing); or,
(ii) Will not occur in greater concentrations
				  in or on the food or feed portions of crops grown on the treatment zone than in
				  or on identical portions of the same crops grown on untreated soils under

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
An owner or operator subject to this subpart must establish
					 an unsaturated zone monitoring program to discharge the following
					 responsibilities:
(a) The owner or
				  operator must monitor the soil and soil-pore liquid to determine whether
				  hazardous constituents migrate out of the treatment zone.
(1) The owner or operator shall monitor for
				  those hazardous constituents specified under Section264.271(b)(b).
(2) The Department may require monitoring for
				  principal hazardous constituents (PHCs) in lieu of the constituents specified
				  in Section264.271(b)(b). PHC's are hazardous constituents contained in the
				  wastes to be applied at the unit that are the most difficult to treat,
				  considering the combined effects of degradation, transformation, and
				  immobilization. The Department will establish PHCs if it finds, based on waste
				  analyses, treatment demonstrations, or other data, that effective degradation,
				  transformation, or immobilization of the PHCs will assure treatment of at least
				  equivalent levels for the other hazardous constituents in the wastes.

				  adjacent subsurface soil or groundwater or surface water at anytime during the
				  active life (including the closure period) of the landfill. The liner must be
				  constructed of materials that prevent wastes from passing into the liner 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 landfill units subject to
				  264.301(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 l 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 under264.303(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, and
				  monthly during the post-closure care period when monthly monitoring is required
				  under section 264.303(c).

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a)
				  During construction or installation, liners (except in the case of existing
				  portions of landfills exempt from Section264.301 (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.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) The
				  owner or operator of landfill units subject to 264.301(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) Principal organic hazardous constituents
				  (POHCs) in the waste feed must be treated to the extent required by the
				  performance standard of Section264.343.
(b)
(1) One
				  or more POHC's will be specified in the owner's or operator's facility's permit
				  application, from among those constituents listed in R.61-79.261, appendix
				  VIII, for each waste feed to be burned. This specification will be based on the
				  degree of difficulty of incineration of the organic constituents in the waste
				  and on their concentration or mass in the waste feed, considering the results
				  of waste analyses and trial burns or alternative data submitted with Part B of
				  the facility's permit application. Organic constituents which represent the
				  greatest degree of difficulty of incineration will be those most likely to be
				  designated as POHC's. Constituents are more likely to be designated as POHC's
				  if they are present in large quantities or concentrations in the waste.
				  (amended 11/90)
(2) Trial POHC's
				  will be designated for performance of trial burns in accordance with the
				  procedure specified in R.61-79.270.62 for obtaining trial burn
				  permits.

This section is written in a special format to make it
					 easier to understand the regulatory requirements. Like other regulations, this
					 establishes enforceable legal requirements. For this "I" and "you" refer to the
					 owner/operator.
(a) What is a staging
				  pile? A staging pile is an accumulation of solid, non-flowing remediation waste
				  (as defined in 260.10 of this chapter) that is not a containment building and
				  is used only during remedial operations for temporary storage at a facility. A
				  staging pile must be located within the contiguous property under the control
				  of the owner operator where the wastes to be managed in the staging pile
				  originated. Staging piles must be designated by the Department according to the
				  requirements in this section.
(1) For the
				  purposes of this section, storage includes mixing, sizing, blending, or other
				  similar physical operations as long as they are intended to prepare the wastes
				  for subsequent management or treatment.
(2) [Reserved]

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) The Department
				  with regulatory oversight at the location where the cleanup is taking place may
				  approve placement of CAMU-eligible wastes in hazardous waste landfills not
				  located at the site from which the waste originated, without the wastes meeting
				  the requirements of RCRA part 268, if the conditions in (a)(1) through (3) are
				  met:
(1) The waste meets the definition of
				  CAMU-eligible waste in 264.552(a)(1) and (2).
(2) The Department with regulatory oversight
				  at the location where the cleanup is taking place identifies principal
				  hazardous constitutes in such waste, in accordance with 264.552(e)(4)(i) and
				  (ii), and requires that such principal hazardous constituents are treated to
				  any of the following standards specified for CAMU-eligible wastes:
(i) The treatment standards under
				  264.552(e)(4)(iv); or
(ii)
				  Treatment standards adjusted in accordance with 264.552(e)(4)(v)(A), (C), (D)
				  or (E)(1); or
(iii) Treatment
				  standards adjusted in accordance with 264.552(e)(4)(v)(E)(2), where treatment
				  has been used and that treatment significantly reduces the toxicity or mobility
				  of the principal hazardous constituents in the waste, minimizing the short-term
				  and long-term threat posed by the waste, including the threat at the
				  remediation site.
(3)
				  The landfill receiving the CAMU-eligible waste must have a RCRA hazardous waste
				  permit, meet the requirements for new landfills in Subpart N, and be authorized
				  to accept CAMU-eligible wastes; for the purposes of this requirement, "permit"
				  does not include interim status.
