permit to collect, store, or treat hazardous waste on a drip pad shall provide
the Secretary with the following specific information in a permit application:
(1) A list of hazardous wastes placed or to
be placed on each drip pad;
(2) If
an exemption is sought to the requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.06 s -.06-7, as provided
by COMAR 26.13.05.06 s A, the detailed
plans and an engineering report describing how the requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.06 s A(3)(b) will be met;
and
(3) Detailed plans and an
engineering report that:
(a) Describe how the
drip pad has been or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to
meet the requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.17 s -2;
(b) Include as-built drawings and
specifications; and
(c) Include
information specified in §B of this regulation.
B. The owner or operator shall ensure that
the detailed plans and the engineering report required to be submitted by §A(3)
of this regulation include the following items:
(1) Information on the:
(a) Design characteristics of the drip
pad;
(b) Liner system;
(c) Leakage detection system, including how
the system is designed to detect the failure of the drip pad or the presence of
any releases of hazardous waste or accumulated liquid at the earliest
practicable time; and
(d)
Associated collection system;
(2) A description of the practices that the
owner or operator will use to maintain the drip pad;
(3) A description of how the owner or
operator will control:
(a) Run-on to the drip
pad; and
(b) Run-off from the drip
pad;
(4) The interval at
which the owner or operator will remove drippage and other materials from the
associated collection system and a statement demonstrating that the interval
will be sufficient to prevent overflow onto the drip pad;
(5) The procedures that the owner or operator
will use to satisfy the cleaning requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.17 s -2F, including
documentation requirements;
(6) The
operating practices and procedures that the owner or operator will follow to
minimize the tracking of hazardous waste or waste constituents off the drip pad
due to activities by personnel or equipment;
(7) The procedures the owner or operator will
follow to ensure that, after removal from the treatment vessel, treated wood
from pressure and nonpressure processes is held on the drip pad until drippage
has ceased, and the associated record-keeping practices;
(8) The provisions the owner or operator has
made to ensure that, as soon as possible after a storm, each collection and
holding unit associated with a run-on or run-off control system is emptied or
otherwise managed to maintain the design capacity of the system;
(9) If treatment is carried out on the drip
pad, the details of the process equipment used, and the nature and quality of
the residuals;
(10) As part of the
inspection plan required by Regulation .02D(19) of this chapter, a description
of how the owner or operator will inspect each drip pad, including
appurtenances for control of run-on and run-off, in order to meet the
requirements of COMAR 27.13.05.17 s -2;
(11) A certification signed by an independent
qualified registered professional engineer, stating that the drip pad design
meets the requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.17 s -2A;
(12) A description of how hazardous waste
residues and contaminated materials will be removed from the drip pad at
closure, as required under COMAR
26.13.05.17 s -4A-D; and
(13) As part of the closure plan or the
post-closure plan submitted under Regulation .02D(29) of this chapter, detailed
plans and an engineering report describing how the requirements of COMAR
26.13.05.14 s J will be met for
any waste that will not be removed from the drip pad at closure.
