Section 10-4 - Test Demonstration Requirements

(a) Applicability: Any commercial solid waste management facility subject to the requirements of this chapter shall perform a test demonstration prior to commencing full-scale operations. The Chapter 6 permit issued by the department shall contain such conditions as may be necessary to assure the adequate performance of the test demonstration, and shall provide that the permit does not authorize full-scale receipt of solid wastes at the facility until the department has concurred that the test demonstration has met the requirements of this section.

(b) Objectives: The test demonstration shall be conducted by the facility operator to evaluate the ability of the facility to:

  • (i) Screen incoming waste shipments to assure that prohibited wastes are not received at the facility, in compliance with the standards of Section 5 of this chapter.
  • (ii) Successfully process wastes as necessary to allow recovery of useful components of the waste stream as required by Section 6 of this chapter.
  • (iii) Recover amounts of useful components of the waste stream as required by the standards in Section 7 of this chapter and as described in the permit application.
  • (iv) Handle waste residues in compliance with applicable rules and regulations for treatment or disposal of residues.

(c) Test demonstration wastes: The test demonstration shall be conducted with an amount of solid wastes not to exceed five days' proposed capacity of the commercial solid waste management facility. Wastes to be used in the demonstration shall be shown by the applicant to be representative of wastes to be received at the facility under full-scale operations, including composition and any pretreatment that the wastes may receive prior to delivery to the facility.

(d) Test demonstration report: At the conclusion of the test demonstration, the applicant shall prepare and submit to the department a report documenting performance of the demonstration, including measurements taken during the demonstration, and evaluating the ability of the facility to perform in compliance with the standards in this chapter.

(e) Test demonstration approval: Within ninety (90) days of receipt of the test demonstration report, the department shall:

  • (i) Approve the demonstration report and allow full-scale operations to commence; or
  • (ii) Disapprove the demonstration report, and allow the applicant to perform an additional demonstration employing such modifications to equipment or operating procedures as may be proposed by the applicant to allow the facility to meet the requirements of this section; or
  • (iii) Disapprove the demonstration report. Any disapproval shall include the department's reasons and basis for disapproval, and shall describe the applicant's right to appeal the decision. Any decision to disapprove a demonstration report shall be considered as a refusal to grant a permit, as provided in W.S. 35-11-802.
