a) The
owner or operator of each new landfill unit, each lateral expansion of a
landfill unit, and each replacement of an existing landfill unit must install
two or more liners and a leachate collection and removal system above and
between such liners, and operate the leachate collection and removal system, in
accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.401(c),
unless exempted by 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.401(d), (e)
or (f).
b) The owner or operator of each unit
referred to in subsection (a) must notify the Agency at least 60 days prior to
receiving waste. The owner or operator of each facility submitting notice must
file a Part B application within six months of the receipt of such
notice.
c) The owner or operator of
any replacement landfill unit is exempt from subsection (a) if both of the
following are true:
1) The existing unit was
constructed in compliance with the design standards of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.401(c),
(d), and (e); and
BOARD NOTE: The cited subsections implemented the design
standards of sections 3004(o)(1)(A)(i) and (o)(5) of RCRA (
42
USC 6924(o)(1)(A)(i) and
(o)(5) ).
2) There is no reason to believe that the
liner is not functioning as designed.
d) The Agency must not require a double liner
as set forth in subsection (a) for any monofill, if the following conditions
are fulfilled:
1) The monofill contains only
hazardous wastes from foundry furnace emission controls or metal casting
molding sand, and such wastes do not contain constituents that render the
wastes hazardous for reasons other the toxicity characteristic in 35 Ill. Adm.
Code
721.124,
with USEPA hazardous waste numbers D004 through D017; and
2) Alternative Demonstration
A) Liner and Location Requirements
i) The monofill has at least one liner for
which there is no evidence that such liner is leaking;
ii) The monofill is located more than
one-quarter mile from an underground source of drinking water (as that term is
defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
702.110 );
and
iii) The monofill is in
compliance with generally applicable groundwater monitoring requirements for
facilities with RCRA permits; or
B) The owner or operator demonstrates to the
Board that the monofill is located, designed, and operated so as to assure that
there will be no migration of any hazardous constituent into groundwater or
surface water at any future time.
e) In the case of any unit in which the liner
and leachate collection system have been installed pursuant to the requirements
of subsection (a), and in good faith compliance with subsection (a) and with
guidance documents governing liners and leachate collection systems under
subsection (a), the Agency must not require a liner or leachate collection
system that is different from that which was so installed pursuant to
subsection (a) when issuing the first permit to such facility, except that the
Agency is not precluded from requiring installation of a new liner when the
Agency finds that any liner installed pursuant to the requirements of
subsection (a) is leaking.
f) The
owner or operator must design, construct, operate, and maintain a run-on
control system capable of preventing flow onto the active portion of the
landfill during peak discharge from at least a 25-year storm.
g) The owner or operator must design,
construct, operate, and maintain a run-off management system to collect and
control at least the water volume resulting from a 24 hour, 25-year
storm.
h) Collection and holding
facilities (e.g., tanks or basins) associated with run-on and run-off control
systems must be emptied or otherwise managed expeditiously after storms to
maintain design capacity of the system.
i) The owner or operator of a landfill
containing hazardous waste that is subject to dispersal by wind must cover or
otherwise manage the landfill so that wind dispersal of the hazardous waste is
controlled.
