be maintained at the facility and the basis of the design to demonstrate
compliance with freeboard requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.11B(1)
and C(1) and (2), including, for flow-through facilities a hydraulic
profile;
(2) Detailed drawings of
the structure which is or will be provided to immediately stop flow into the
impoundment to comply with COMAR

the dike to comply with COMAR
26.13.05.11B(4)
and I(1); and
(b) A demonstration,
through the design analysis, that the dike will meet the requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.11F(3)(a);
(5) Detailed design drawings and
specifications of liner or liners and the leachate detection, collection, and

(8) Design plans and specifications and basis
of design of any structures needed to comply with COMAR
26.13.05.11C(5);
(9) A description of the maintenance and
repair procedures proposed to comply with COMAR

(10) A description of the operating
procedures that will ensure compliance with COMAR
26.13.05.11I and
J;
(11) A certification by a
qualified engineer which complies with COMAR
26.13.05.11F(3)
or, for a new facility, a statement by a qualified engineer that the engineer
will provide this certification upon completion of construction in accordance
with the plans and specifications;
(12) A description of the procedure to be
used for removing a surface impoundment from service, as required under COMAR
26.13.05.11H(2) and
(3), as part of the contingency plan
submitted under Regulation .02D(21) of this chapter;
(13) As part of the closure plan, and, if
applicable, the post-closure plan submitted under Regulation .02D(29) of this
chapter:
(a) A description of how hazardous
waste residues and contaminated materials will be removed from the unit at
closure, as required under COMAR
26.13.05.11G(1)(a);
and
(b) For any wastes not to be
removed from the unit upon closure, detailed plans and an engineering report
describing how COMAR
26.13.05.11G(1)(b)-(d) and
(2) will be complied
with;
(14) If ignitable
or reactive wastes are to be placed in a surface impoundment, an explanation of
how COMAR 26.13.05.11I will
be complied with;
(15) If
incompatible wastes and materials will be placed in a surface impoundment, an
explanation of how COMAR
26.13.05.11J will
be complied with;
(16) A
description of the liner system or, if an exemption from the requirement for a
liner is sought as provided by COMAR
26.13.05.11B(6),
detailed plans and engineering and hydrogeologic reports, as appropriate,
describing alternate design and operating practices that will, in conjunction
with location aspects, prevent the migration of any hazardous constituents into
the ground water or surface water at any future time;
