Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 49, December 6, 2024

Section 703.121 - RCRA Permits

a) No person may conduct any hazardous waste storage, hazardous waste treatment, or hazardous waste disposal operation as follows:

1) Without a RCRA permit for the HWM (hazardous waste management) facility; or

2) In violation of any condition imposed by a RCRA permit.

b) An owner or operator of a HWM unit must have permits during the active life (including the closure period) of the unit. An owner or operator of a surface impoundment, landfill, land treatment unit or a waste pile unit that received wastes after July 26, 1982, or that certified closure (according to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.215 ) after January 26, 1983, must have a post-closure care permit, unless it demonstrates closure by removal or decontamination, as provided under Sections 703.159 and 703.160, or obtains enforceable documents containing alternative requirements, as provided under Section 703.161. If a post-closure care permit is required, the permit must address applicable 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 groundwater monitoring, unsaturated zone monitoring, corrective action, and post-closure care requirements.

c) The denial of a permit for the active life of a hazardous waste management facility or unit does not affect the requirement to obtain a post-closure care permit under this Section.
