					 be governed by the standards as set forth in this section:
1. The owner or operator shall close his

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. General.
1. For the purpose of implementing remedies
				  under 9VAC20-81-45 or under the Voluntary
				  Remediation Regulations (9VAC20-160), the director may designate an area of a
				  facility as a remediation waste management unit (RWMU) as defined in Part I
				  (9VAC20-81-10 et seq.) of this
				  chapter. One of more RWMUs may be designated at a facility.
2. The director may designate a unit subject
				  to this chapter as an RWMU or incorporate such a unit into a designated RWMU
				  if:
a. The unit is closed or has begun the
				  closure process under
				  9VAC20-81-160 C; and
b. Inclusion of the unit will enhance
				  implementation of effective, protective, and reliable remedial actions for the
				  facility.
3.
				  Consolidation or placement of remediation wastes into a designated RWMU does
				  not constitute creation of a unit subject to the siting, design, and operation
				  requirements of Part III (9VAC20-81-120,
				  9VAC20-81-130, and
				  9VAC20-81-140 ) and the permitting
				  requirements of Part V (9VAC20-81-400 et seq.)
				  of this chapter.
4. The applicable
				  requirements for groundwater monitoring and closure under
				  9VAC20-81-250 and
				  9VAC20-81-160 will continue to
				  apply to the RWMU.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Because of
				  the varied and experimental nature of the landfill mining processes currently
				  employed, 9VAC20-81-395 offers management
				  standards. For this reason, portions of that section shall be made applicable
				  to the mining process. As used in this section "landfill mining" does not
				  include excavation of waste to facilitate installation of landfill gas,
				  leachate management, or other utility systems provided waste excavated is
				  managed and cover installed in accordance with
				  9VAC20-81-140 or
				  9VAC20-81-160, as
				  applicable.
B. In addition to
				  fulfilling applicable requirements of
				  9VAC20-81-395, the owner or
				  operator of a landfill mining facility shall prepare an operational plan that
				  will describe in detail the procedures that will be employed in opening the
				  closed landfill areas, the phased description of opened areas, the procedures
				  that will be employed in excavation of opened areas, the management of
				  excavated materials, and disposition of recovered materials and unusable
				  residues. The operational plan shall also contain an estimate of the duration
				  of the mining process and the final use of the recovered air space.
C. In cases where residues will be disposed
				  on site, the disposal units shall be regulated under Part III (9VAC20-81-100 et seq.) of this
				  chapter.

				  siting, design and operating requirements, detection and monitoring
				  requirements, and requirements for responses to releases of solid waste or

C. Protection of human health and the
				  environment includes, but is not limited to:
1. Proper location of the facility and the
				  unit considering:
a. The hydrologic and
				  geologic characteristics of the unit and the surrounding area, including the
				  topography of the land around the facility and the unit;
b. The atmospheric and meteorological
				  characteristics of the unit and the surrounding area;
c. The patterns of precipitation in the

2. Definition of solid waste contained in
				  9VAC20-81-95;
3. Criteria used for classification of solid

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Applicability.
1. A person who uses, reuses, or reclaims
				  waste that is managed entirely within the Commonwealth may apply to the
				  department to exclude the waste at a particular site from the classification as
				  the solid waste (see Part II of this chapter). The conditions under which an
				  application for a variance will be accepted are shown in
				  9VAC20-81-710 B. The wastes
				  excluded under such applications may still, however, remain classified as a
				  solid waste for the purposes of other regulations issued by the Virginia Waste
				  Management Board or other agencies of the Commonwealth.
2. A person who uses, reuses, or reclaims
				  materials from a generating site outside the Commonwealth and who causes them
				  to be brought into the Commonwealth for use, reuse, or reclamation shall first
				  obtain favorable decision from the appropriate authorities in that state before
				  the waste may be considered for an exemption by the director.

				  (9VAC20-81-610 et seq.) of this
				  chapter to an applicant if the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of
				  the director that:
1.
a. Strict application of the regulation to
				  the facility will result in undue hardship that is caused by the applicant's
				  particular situation;
b. The
				  alternate design or operation will result in a facility that is equally
				  protective of human health and the environment as that provided for in the
				  regulations; or
c. Technical
				  conditions exist that make a strict application of the regulation difficult to
				  achieve; and

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. The applicant
				  may request a variance to the location for the groundwater monitoring system
				  other than at the disposal unit boundary as required by
				  9VAC20-81-250 A 3 a if he can
				  demonstrate that the response time is sufficiently long to identify and
				  remediate or otherwise contain groundwater that may become impacted before it
				  reaches the facility boundary. This alternate point of compliance with the
				  groundwater monitoring requirements shall be located within the facility
				  boundary and shall not be located farther downgradient than 500 feet from the
				  disposal unit boundary.
B. The
				  application shall provide information on:
1.
				  The hydrogeologic characteristics of the facility and surrounding land. The
				  information shall include an estimate of the width and depth of a plume that
				  may migrate from the disposal unit.
2. The volume and physical and chemical
				  characteristics of the leachate.
3.
				  The quality, quantity, and direction of groundwater flow. This information
				  shall include a determination whether contaminants from the unit will be
				  detectable at the proposed point of compliance.
4. The proximity and withdrawal rate of the
				  groundwater users. This information shall include the estimate of time of
				  travel to private or public supply wells.
5. The availability of alternate drinking
				  water supplies in the event of a groundwater contamination problem.
6. The existing quality of the groundwater,
				  including other sources of contamination and their cumulative impacts on the
				  ground water and whether groundwater is currently used or reasonably expected
				  to be used for drinking water.
7.
				  Practicable capability of the owner or operator. The information shall include
				  an indication of financial capability of the owner or operator to maintain a
				  longer and more costly corrective action program owing to the longer detection
				  time frame associated with the proposed point of compliance.

				  accordance with the provisions of § 10.1-1408.1 of the Code of Virginia,
				  no application for a variance allowing a noncaptive industrial landfill to
				  expand or increase capacity shall be allowed without providing local government
				  certification and disclosure information in accordance with the provisions of
				  9VAC20-81-450.
