N.D. Admin Code 69-05.2-19-04 - Performance standards - Waste materials - Disposal of noncoal wastes
1. All noncoal
waste materials disposed of within a permit area and that are required to be
permitted under solid waste management rules of the state department of health
must be disposed of according to those rules and this chapter. Before disposal
operations begin, the commission must be advised of plans to develop or modify
a noncoal waste disposal site.
2.
Noncoal wastes including concrete products, plastic material, abandoned mining
machinery, wood materials, and other nonhazardous materials generated during
mining and noncoal waste materials from activities outside the permit area,
such as municipal wastes, must be placed and stored in a controlled manner in a
designated approved portion of the permit area. Placement and storage of all
types of noncoal wastes, including any hazardous materials, must ensure that
leachate and surface runoff do not degrade surface or ground water, fires are
prevented, and that the area remains stable and suitable for reclamation and
revegetation compatible with the natural surroundings. Any wastes containing
asbestos may not be disposed of in the permit area unless specific approval is
obtained from the state department of health. Solvents, grease, lubricants,
paints, flammable liquids, and other combustible materials must be disposed off
the permit area except for land treatments of small spills as approved by the
state department of health.
3.
Disposal sites in the permit area must be designed and constructed to ensure
that leachate and drainage from the noncoal waste areas does not degrade
surface or underground water. Wastes must be routinely compacted and covered to
prevent combustion and windborne waste. When disposal is completed, two feet
[60.96 centimeters] of cover or a greater thickness required by the commission
must be placed over the site, slopes stabilized, suitable plant growth material
respread and revegetation accomplished. Site operation must comply with all
local and state requirements.
4. At
no time may any solid waste material be deposited at embankment or impoundment
sites, nor may any excavation for solid waste disposal be located within eight
feet [2.44 meters] of any coal or commercial leonardite outcrop or coal or
commercial leonardite storage area.
