Section 26.13.07.02-8 - Specific Information Requirements for Landfills

A. In addition to complying with the requirements of Regulation .02 of this chapter, a person seeking a CHS facility permit to incinerate hazardous waste shall provide the Secretary with the specific information required by §§B and C of this regulation.

B. For facilities that dispose of hazardous waste in landfills, except as otherwise provided in COMAR 26.13.05.01, the permit applicant shall provide the following information:

(1) A list of the hazardous wastes placed or to be placed in each landfill or landfill cell;

(2) A detailed plan and an engineering report that:

(a) Describe how the landfill is or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to comply with the requirements of COMAR 26.13.05.02-2 and 14B; and

(b) Provide information on the following items as specified in COMAR 26.13.05.14B:

(i) The liner system and leachate collection and removal system, except for an existing portion of landfill;

(ii) If an exemption from the requirements for a liner and a leachate collection and removal system is sought as provided by COMAR 26.13.05.14B(2) or (4), detailed plans and engineering hydrogeologic reports as appropriate, describing alternate design and operating practices that will, in conjunction with location aspects, prevent the migration of any hazardous constituents into the ground water or surface water at any future time;

(iii) Control of run-on;

(iv) Control of run-off;

(v) Management of collection and holding facilities associated with run-on and run-off control systems; and

(vi) Control of wind dispersal of particulate matter, when applicable;

(3) A description of how each landfill, including the double liner system, leachate collection and removal system, leak detection system, cover system, and appurtenances for control of run-on and run-off will be inspected in order to meet the requirements of COMAR 26.13.05.14C(1) - (4) as part of the inspection plan submitted under Regulation .02D(19) of this chapter;

(4) Detailed plans and an engineering report describing the final cover which will be applied to each landfill or landfill cell at closure in accordance with COMAR 26.13.05.14J(1), and a description of how each landfill will be maintained and monitored after closure in accordance with COMAR 26.13.05.14J(2) as part of the closure and post-closure plans submitted under Regulation .02D(29) of this chapter;

(5) If food-chain crops are to be grown, and cadmium is present in the land treated waste, a description of how the requirements of COMAR 26.13.05.13G(5) will be complied with;

(6) A description of the vegetative cover to be applied to closed portions of the facility, and a plan for maintaining the cover during the post-closure care period, as required under COMAR 26.13.05.13K(1)(h) and (3)(b). This information should be included in the closure plan and, when applicable, the post-closure care plan submitted under Regulation .02D(29) of this chapter;

(7) If ignitable or reactive wastes will be placed in or on the treatment zone, an explanation of how the requirements of COMAR 26.13.05.13L will be complied with;

(8) A waste management plan for EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027 that:

(a) Describes how a landfill is or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to meet the requirements of COMAR 26.13.05.14P; and

(b) Addresses the:

(i) Volume, physical characteristics, and chemical characteristics of the wastes, including their potential to migrate through soil or to volatilize or escape into the atmosphere;

(ii) Attenuative properties of underlying and surrounding soils or other materials;

(iii) Mobilizing properties of other materials co-disposed with these wastes; and

(iv) Effectiveness of additional treatment, design, or monitoring techniques;

(9) If the leak detection system is located in a saturated zone, detailed plans and an engineering report explaining the leak detection system's design and operation, and the location of the saturated zone in relation to the leak detection system;

(10) The construction quality assurance plan required by COMAR 26.13.05.02-2;

(11) If required under COMAR 26.13.05.14E, a proposed action leakage rate with rationale and supporting information; and

(12) If required under COMAR 26.13.05.14F, a response action plan.
