Section 74:27:12:03 - Site characterization

An adequate site characterization includes the following:

(1) Each of the location standards of chapter 74:27:11 in relation to the proposed site;

(2) The number of acres comprising the proposed site;

(3) Climatic data, including source and location of data;

(4) Local wind patterns;

(5) Current land use and zoning within a one-mile radius;

(6) Occupied dwellings within a one-mile radius;

(7) Water usage, including sources of water and well depths, within a one-mile radius;

(8) Surface waters, including wetlands and their classifications, within a one-mile radius;

(9) General topography and drainage patterns within a two-mile radius;

(10) Existing site information, its source, reliability, and extent;

(11) Soil and geologic conditions at the proposed site, including:

(a) Soil types and characteristics;

(b) Thickness of unconsolidated materials;

(c) Lithologic profiles;

(d) Fracture patterns; and

(e) Unstable/seismic areas;

(12) Hydrogeologic conditions at the site, including:

(a) Depth to groundwater and the uppermost aquifer;

(b) Saturated thickness and lateral extent of potentially impacted aquifers or other pertinent geologic units;

(c) The potential for groundwater and uppermost aquifer use for domestic water supplies, livestock watering, and irrigation purposes;

(d) Flow rate and flow direction of groundwater; and

(e) Ambient quality of groundwater; and

(13) The calculations performed to determine the potential for leachate generation at the site.

The secretary may require presubmission meetings as provided by § 74:27:08:05 to discuss the procedures for the site characterization as well as the results of the site characterization.

The applicant shall include all data, maps, soil boring, logs, and geologic cross-sections identifying the types and characteristics of the geologic materials present; zones of high permeability or fractures; depth to the zone of saturation; calculations for soil characteristics, groundwater flow direction and velocity, surface water drainage direction, and potential leachate generation quantity; well logs; potentiometric surface maps; laboratory analyses; and any other pertinent information with the results of the site characterization.
