Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 500-599 - Environmental Protection - Solid Waste Management › Chapter NR 514 - Plan Of Operation And Closure Plans For Landfills › Section NR 514.06 - Operations manual and design report

Current through June 24, 2024
The plan of operation for all new landfills and expansions
				  of existing landfills shall contain an operations manual and design report
				  which shall comply with ss. NR 500.05, 504.05 to 504.12 and, at a minimum,
				  shall contain the following information:
(1) TABLE OF CONTENTS. The report shall
				include a table of contents which outlines by section title and page number the
				discussion required in this section.
(2) GENERAL INFORMATION. The report shall
				identify the name of the landfill; the registered professional engineer who
				prepared the plans; landfill owner, licensee and operator; location by
				quarter-quarter section; the proposed limits of filling; the anticipated life
				and closure date; disposal capacity; waste tonnages and corresponding volumes,
				percent municipal waste versus industrial waste, anticipated geographic service
				area, and anticipated industrial waste types; waste types and quantities to be
				disposed; any exemptions requested from the department; and a list of the
				conditions of facility development as stated in the feasibility determination
				and the measures incorporated in the plan of operation to address those
				conditions.
(3) DESIGN RATIONALE.
				The report shall include a discussion of the considerations and rationale
				behind design of the discretionary aspects of major engineering features which
				are not explicitly required by state or federal regulations or the conditions
				of the department's feasibility approval for the landfill. This shall include
				base grade configuration and relationship to subsurface conditions, liner
				design, phases of landfill development and closure, traffic routing, storm
				water management, erosion, and sediment control measures, gas extraction and
				treatment systems, final cover systems, and monitoring systems. Specific
				attention shall be given to sidewall penetrations, sideslope riser and sump
				area volumes and construction, and piping located outside of the limits of
				filling. In addressing each of the above design items, the report shall
				indicate how the anticipated waste types and characteristics influenced the
				chosen design.
(4) INITIAL
				CONSTRUCTION. The report shall discuss initial preparations and construction
				methods relating to clearing and grubbing, topsoil stripping and other
				excavations; soil storage and visual screening development; storm water control
				features; base liner and granular drainage layers; leachate collection and gas
				venting systems; access roads and entrance area screening and fencing;
				environmental monitoring device installation and other special design features.
				This discussion shall propose a schedule of field measurements, photographs to
				be taken, and sampling and testing procedures to be utilized to verify that the
				infield conditions encountered were the same as those defined in the
				feasibility report.
(5) STORM WATER
				MANAGEMENT. The report shall describe storm water management at the time of
				initial construction, during phased development, and after closure of the
				landfill. The report shall include:
(a)
				Narrative demonstrating compliance with s. NR 504.09.
(b) Detailed description of temporary and
				permanent erosion and sediment control measures to be used to accomplish the
				concepts in s. NR 504.09 (1) (b).
(c) Specifications for design of sediment
				basins, culverts, drainage ditches, auxiliary sediment traps, and the
				anticipated extent of cleared ground and stockpiles during each major phase of
				landfill development.
(d) A list of
				anticipated actions and materials needed for sediment and erosion
				control.
(e) A maintenance and
				follow-up program designed to meet the concepts in s. NR 504.09 (1)
				(b).
(f) Schedules for the
				following activities: cleaning sediment basins and ditches; seeding and
				stabilization of stockpiles and drainage channels; and topsoiling, seeding and
				stabilization of disturbed areas and areas affected by erosion.
