A. In addition to complying with the
requirements of Regulation .02 of this chapter, a person seeking a CHS facility
permit to use a waste pile to store, dispose, or treat hazardous waste shall
provide the Secretary with the specific information required by §B of this
regulation.

frequent wetting) of hazardous waste in piles so that the Secretary, when
necessary, can specify appropriate control measures;
(2) Detailed plans and an engineering report
which:
(a) Demonstrate that the design of the
waste pile meets the requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.12B and

pile will be constructed, operated, and maintained to meet the requirements of
COMAR 26.13.05.12B and
D;
(c) Include the following
information:
(i) A description of measures to
divert run-on away from the pile;
(ii) A description of the leachate and
run-off collection and control system;
(iii) A description of the foundation
supporting the base;
(iv) Design
specifications of the pile base and liner or liners, including the estimated
containment life of the base and the permeability of the liner or
liners;
(v) Estimated life of the
hazardous waste pile; and
(vi) If
applicable under COMAR
26.13.05.12D(1)(a)(ii),
a description of the leachate detection, collection, and removal system
including the system's relation to the water table and a description of any
efforts to control the water table;
(3) A detailed description of the facility
operating procedures which demonstrates compliance with COMAR
26.13.05.12D, G,
and H, including:
(a) A description of efforts
to protect the containment system from plant growth which could puncture any
component of the system;
(b) A
description of design and operating procedures to properly manage and dispose
of any leachate that is a hazardous waste;
(c) A description and listing of all
equipment and procedures used to place the waste in or on the pile or to clean
and expose the liner surface; and
(d) A description of efforts to separate
hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or material stored nearby,
including the design specifications of any dike, berm, wall, or other device
used to separate the materials;
(4) If applicable under COMAR
26.13.05.12, a description of the
leachate detection, collection, and removal system, including the system's
relation to the water table and a description of any efforts to control the
water table;
(5) As part of the
inspection plan submitted under Regulation .02D(19) of this chapter, 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 COMAR
26.13.05.12D and
E;
(6) If treatment is carried out
on or in the pile, details of the process and equipment used, and the nature
and quantity of the residuals;
(7)
If ignitable or reactive wastes are to be placed in a waste pile, an
explanation of how an owner or operator will comply with the requirements of
COMAR 26.13.05.12G;
(8) If incompatible wastes, or incompatible
wastes and materials will be placed in a waste pile, an explanation of how an
owner or operator will comply with the requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.12H;
(9) 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 waste pile
upon closure; and
(b) Detailed
plans and an engineering report describing how the owner or operator will
comply with COMAR
26.13.05.12I;
(10) A waste management plan for EPA
Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027 that:
(a) Describes how a waste pile that is not
enclosed, as defined in COMAR
26.13.05.12A, is
or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to meet the
requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.12J;
and
(b) Addresses the:
(i) Volume, physical characteristics, and
chemical characteristics of the wastes to be disposed of in the waste pile,
including their potential to migrate through soil or to volatilize or escape
into the atmosphere;
(ii)
Attenuative properties of underlying and surrounding soils or other
materials;
(iii) Mobilizing
properties of other materials co-disposed with these wastes; and
(iv) Effectiveness of additional treatment,
design, or monitoring techniques;
(11) A list of the hazardous wastes placed,
or to be placed, in each waste pile;
(12) If the permit applicant seeks an
exemption from the requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.12B and
D, and .06 - .06-7, as provided by COMAR
26.13.05.12A(2)
