Okla. Admin. Code § 165:10-9-1

Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024
Section 165:10-9-1 - Use of commercial pits
(a)Scope. This Section shall cover the permitting, construction, operation, and closure requirements for any commercial pit. A commercial pit is a disposal facility which is authorized by Commission order and used for the disposal, storage, and handling of deleterious substances or soils contaminated by deleterious substances produced, obtained, or used in connection with drilling, production and/or pipeline construction operations. This does not cover disposal well pits. (See 165:10-9-3 and 165:10-7-20.)
(b)Application requirements.
(1)Who may apply. The applicant for a commercial pit shall be the owner of the land (or person having a written firm option to purchase the land at the time the application is filed) on which the proposed pit is to be located: if leased, both the owner and lessee shall be joint applicants.
(2)Compliance with rules. Before issuance of an order, the applicant shall comply with Commission Rules of Practice 165:5-7-1, 165:5-7-35, 165:5-3-1, and this Section. Subsequent to issuance of an order authorizing commercial pit(s) and prior to commencing construction of such pit(s), the applicant is required to submit a recorded copy of a deed to the Conservation Division reflecting that the applicant owns the land which is to be used for the commercial pit facility.
(3)Exhibits. Two complete sets of all exhibits which shall be relied upon by the applicant shall be submitted to the Pollution Abatement Department of the Commission, pursuant to 165:5-7-35. Those exhibits shall include, but are not limited, to the following:
(A) A lithologic log of test borings, identifying the subsurface materials encountered and the depth at which groundwater was encountered pursuant to (c)(2)(D) of this Section.
(B) Results of permeability tests of the proposed liner materials, pursuant to (e)(7) of this Section.
(C) A topographic map of the commercial pit site.
(D) The appropriate Soil Conservation Service (SCS) soil survey aerial photo and legend.
(E) A detailed drawing of the site, with complete construction plans drawn to scale by or under the supervision of a registered professional engineer.
(F) A plan for closure of the pit(s) which shall provide for a minimum three feet of soil cover and shall specifically state how all aspects of closure shall be accomplished, including volume and fate of liquids and solids, earthwork to close the pit(s) (including placement of stockpiled topsoil), and revegetation of the site.
(G) An itemization of projected hauling, closure, reclamation, maintenance, and monitoring costs.
(H) A plan for post-closure maintenance and monitoring which shall address maintenance of the site as well as monitoring and plugging of wells. Exemption from the plugging of monitor wells may be obtained upon written request and approval of the Manager of Pollution Abatement.
(I) A plan for operation which shall address the method(s) by which excess water will be disposed.
(c)Restrictions.
(1)Order required. No commercial earthen pit shall be constructed, enlarged, reconstructed, or used without a Commission order.
(2)Site limitations.
(A) No commercial earthen pit shall be constructed or used unless an investigation of the soils, topography, geology, and hydrology conclusively shows that storage of water-based drilling fluids and/or cuttings at the site will not be harmful to groundwater, surface water, soils, plants, or animals in the surrounding area. No abandoned mine, strip pit, quarry, canyon, or streambed shall be used for disposal of oilfield wastes, nor shall a pit be constructed or used in such a setting.
(B) No commercial pit shall be constructed or used on any site that is located within a 100-year flood plain.
(C) No commercial pit shall be constructed or used within a wellhead protection area (WPA) as identified by the Wellhead Protection Program ( 42 USC Section 300h-7, Safe Drinking Water Act), or within one mile of a public water well for which the WPA has not been delineated.
(D) No commercial pit shall be constructed unless it can be shown that there will be a minimum of 25 feet between the bottom of the pit and the groundwater level. To ascertain this and to demonstrate the subsurface profile of the site, a minimum of three test borings (the exact number of locations to be determined by the Pollution Abatement Department) shall be drilled to a minimum depth of 25 feet below the proposed bottom of the pit and into the first free water encountered. Perched water tables are not considered for the purposes of this subparagraph. Test borings need not extend deeper than 50 feet below the bottom of the pit if free water has not been encountered before that depth. All boreholes converted to monitor wells shall conform to (e)(15) of this Section. All boreholes not converted to monitor wells shall be plugged from top to bottom with bentonite, cement, and/or other method approved by the Pollution Abatement Department within 30 days of drilling completion.
(E) No commercial pit shall be constructed or used within the following distances from the city limits of an incorporated municipality unless previously authorized by Commission order:
(i) Three miles if population is 20,000 or less.
(ii) Five miles if population is greater than 20,000.
(F) The construction, enlargement, reconstruction or operation of any commercial pit in any area listed in OAC 165:10-29-3 is prohibited.
(3)Means of water disposal. No commercial pit shall be constructed or used unless the operator can show that there will be an ongoing means of disposal of excess water pursuant to (b)(3)(I) of this Section.
(d)Surety requirements.
(1)Agreement with Commission. Any operator of a commercial pit shall file with the Manager of Document Handling for the Conservation Division an agreement to properly close and reclaim the site in accordance with approved closure and reclamation procedures upon termination of disposal operations due to abandonment, shutdown, full pits, or other reason. The agreement shall be on forms available from the Conservation Division and shall be accompanied by surety. The agreement shall provide that if the Commission finds that the operator has failed or refused to close the pits or take remedial action as required by law and the rules of the Commission, the surety shall pay to the Commission the full amount of the operator's obligation up to the limit of the surety.
(2)Surety amount and type. The Commission shall establish the amount of surety in the order for the authority to construct, enlarge, or operate a commercial pit. The amount of surety shall be based on factors such as dimensions of the pit and costs of hauling, closure, reclamation, and monitoring. The amount may be subject to change for good cause. Upon approved closure of a pit, the Manager of Pollution Abatement may administratively reduce the surety requirement to an amount which would cover the cost of monitoring the site and plugging the monitor wells. Surety shall be maintained for as long as monitoring is required. The type of surety shall be a corporate surety bond, certificate of deposit, irrevocable letter of credit, or other type of surety approved for the pit by order of the Commission. Any type of surety that expires shall be renewed prior to 30 days before the expiration date.
(3)Posting surety before permit is issued. An operator shall post surety with the Commission before a construction permit is issued, pursuant to (e)(1) of this Section.
(e)Construction requirements.
(1)Permit required. Prior to constructing any pit, a commercial pit operator shall obtain a permit from the Manager of Pollution Abatement. Application shall be made on Form 1014N. For use of a commercial pit without a permit, the pit operator may be fined up to $5,000.00.
(2)Runoff water prohibited. No runoff water from surrounding land surfaces shall be allowed to enter a pit.
(3)Stockpiling of topsoil. Prior to constructing a pit, all topsoil within the top twelve inches of soil on the site shall be stockpiled for use as the final cover at the time of closure. The topsoil may be stockpiled in the outside slopes of the berms, provided it is not used for structural purposes and can be readily distinguishable from other soil materials at the time of closure. In cases where topsoil is stockpiled in the berms, it shall be shown in the as-built drawings pursuant to (e)(16) of this Section.
(4)Monitoring by engineer. A registered professional engineer or an engineer-in-training working under the supervision of a registered professional engineer (RPE) shall monitor the construction of any commercial pit to assure that approved design specifications and Commission rules are adhered to. A minimum of six on-site visits to the site shall be made; two pre-construction, two during construction, and two post-construction. At least the post-construction on-site visit shall be made by the RPE.
(5)Maximum fluid depth. Any pit shall be constructed to contain a maximum fluid or sediment depth of seven feet, with a minimum freeboard of three feet.
(6)Maximum dimensions. Any pit shall not be constructed to dimensions greater than that approved in the order. Furthermore, the maximum width of a pit or pit cell shall not exceed 175 feet if closure must be accomplished from one side or two adjacent sides; 350 feet if closure can be accomplished from at least two opposite sides or three adjacent sides. Pit dimensions shall be measured at the maximum allowable fluid level.
(7)Soil liners.
(A) Soil materials to be used in a soil liner shall undergo permeability testing before construction. Pre-construction permeability testing shall consist of laboratory permeability tests on at least two specimens of representative soil liner materials compacted in the laboratory to approximately 95 percent of the material's Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D-698).
(B) Laboratory permeability test procedures must conform to one of the methods described for fine-grained soils in the Corps of Engineers Manual EM-1110-2-1906 Appendix VII. In no case shall the pressure differential across the specimen exceed five feet of water per inch of specimen length.
(C) If permeability testing shows that addition of bentonite or other approved material is needed to assist the native soils in meeting the permeability standard, it shall be applied at a minimum rate specified by the testing or engineering firm. Any bentonite used for liner material shall not have been previously used in drilling muds.
(D) Any soil liner shall be constructed by disturbing the soil to the depth of the bottom of the liner, applying fresh water as necessary to the soil materials to achieve a moisture content wet of optimum, then recompacting it with heavy construction equipment, such as a footed roller, until the required density is achieved, pursuant to (H) of this paragraph. The liner shall be constructed in maximum six inch lifts (after compaction), with each lift being scarified before placement of the next lift.
