Section 703.204  Waste Piles

For a facility that stores or treats hazardous waste in waste piles, except as otherwise provided in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.101, the Part B application must include the following:

a)         A list of hazardous wastes placed or to be placed in each waste pile;

b)         If an exemption is sought to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.351 and Subpart F of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724, as provided by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.350(c) or 724.190(b)(2), an explanation of how the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.350(c) will be complied with or detailed plans and an engineering report describing how the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.190(b)(2) will be met;

c)         Detailed plans and an engineering report describing how the pile is designed and is or will be constructed, operated and maintained to meet the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.119, 724.351, 724.352, and 724.353, addressing the following items:

1)         Liner, leak detection, and removal system.

A)        The liner system (except for an existing portion of a waste pile), if the waste pile must meet the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.351(a).  If an exemption from the requirement for a liner is sought, as provided by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.351(b), the owner or operator must submit a copy of the Board order granting an adjusted standard pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.351 (b);

B)        The double liner and leak (leachate) detection, collection and removal system, if the waste pile must meet the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.351(c).  If an exemption from the requirements for double liners and a leak detection, collection, and removal system or alternative design is sought as provided by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.351(d), (e), or (f), submit appropriate information;

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

D)        The CQA plan, if required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.119;

E)        Proposed action leakage rate, with rationale, if required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.352, and response action plan, if required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.353;

2)         Control of run-on;

3)         Control of run-off;

4)         Management of collection and holding units associated with run-on and run-off control systems; and

5)         Control of wind dispersal of particulate matter, where applicable;

d)         A description of how each waste pile, 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 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.354(a), (b), and (c).  This information must be included in the inspection plan submitted under Section 703.183(e).

e)         If the treatment is carried out on or in the pile, details about the process and equipment used, and the nature and quality of the residuals;

f)         If ignitable or reactive wastes are to be placed in a waste pile, an explanation of how the the applicant will comply with requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.356;

g)         If incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials, will be placed in a waste pile, an explanation of how the applicant will comply with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.357;

h)         A description of how hazardous waste residues and contaminated materials will be removed from the waste pile at closure, as required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.358(a).  For any waste not to be removed from the waste pile upon closure, the owner or operator must submit detailed plans and an engineering report describing how the applicant will comply with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.410(a) and (b).  This information must be included in the closure plan and, where applicable, the post-closure plan submitted under Section 703.183(m); and

i)          A waste management plan for hazardous waste numbers F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027 describing how the surface impoundment is or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to meet the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.359.  This submission must address the following items as specified in that Section:

1)         The volume, physical, and chemical characteristics of the wastes, including their potential to migrate through soil or to volatilize or escape into the atmosphere;

2)         The attenuative properties of underlying and surrounding soils or other materials;

3)         The mobilizing properties of other materials co-disposed with these wastes; and

4)         The effectiveness of additional treatment, design, or monitoring techniques.
