(A) Upon completion of construction of an
engineered component required by rule
3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code, the owner or operator shall submit to the licensing
authority, a construction certification report. The construction certification
report shall certify that construction complies with the construction and
performance specifications contained in rules
3745-400-07
and
3745-400-10
of the Administrative Code.
[Comment: Certification follows the facility design plan of
rule
3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code, in that there are certification reports to certify
the construction of engineered components of the soil liner, leachate
collection system, and final cap system, and a certification report to certify
the ground water monitoring well system. In addition, a final certification
report is required to certify final closure in accordance with rule
3745-400-12
of the Administrative Code.]
(1)
Certification of installation of ground water monitoring wells, as required by
paragraph (A) of rule
3745-400-10
of the Administrative Code, shall be submitted to the licensing authority prior
to or with the annual ground water report required by paragraph (B) of rule
3745-400-10
of the Administrative Code if the ground water monitoring report identifies new
ground water monitoring wells.
[Comment: The licensing authority is not required to approve
the certification report. However for new areas which are to be licensed for
disposal, disposal cannot take place until the monitoring wells necessary to
monitor the active licensed disposal area are installed and the first ground
water sampling has occurred, as indicated in paragraph (D)(4) of rule
3745-400-11
of the Administrative Code.]
(2) Certification of construction of the
engineered components shall be submitted to the licensing authority
within
not later
than sixty days
of
after completion of construction. Engineered
components requiring construction certification are those components contained
in the facility construction design plan required by paragraph (F) of rule
3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code and any barrier layer designed and shown in the
license application for
an existing
a facility in accordance with rule
3745-37-02
of the Administrative Code.
[Comment: The licensing authority is not required to approve
the certification report. However for areas which are to be licensed for
disposal, disposal cannot take place until the report is received and the
licensing authority inspects the area as indicated in paragraph (D)(3) of rule
3745-400-11
of the Administrative Code. The leachate collection system, when constructed in
phases ahead of the working face, requires certification and inspection for
each construction phase.]
(3) Certification that the engineered
components of the final cap system, required by paragraph (G) of rule
3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code and contained in the final cap system design plan,
have been constructed shall be submitted to the licensing authority within
sixty days of completion of construction. The owner or operator may construct
portions of the final cap system as active licensed disposal areas are brought
to final grade. The licensing authority shall review the certification report
and either approve or deny the construction.
[Comment: The release of final closure financial assurance by
the licensing authority upon construction certification of engineered
components of the final cap system is addressed in paragraph (A)(6) of rule
3745-400-13
of the Administrative Code.]
(B) Except for the construction certification
report on the installation of ground water monitoring wells which shall be
certified by a qualified ground water scientist, each construction
certification report shall be signed and sealed by a professional engineer
registered in Ohio and shall include the following:
(1) Identification of the constructed
engineered component for certification. Plan sheets showing the appropriate
views and cross-sections from the facility design plan shall be used to prepare
record drawings of what and how the engineered component was constructed and
shall include the testing locations. Details of the engineered component shall
be redrawn. Record drawings of a barrier layer shall consist of a plan drawing
and cross sections and shall utilize the drawing formats described in
paragraphs (F)(3) and (F)(4) of rule
3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code.
(2)
Sampling and testing procedures utilized to verify the construction of the
engineered components.
(3)
Parameters and testing locations.
(4) Results of all testing required by
paragraph (C) of this rule.
(5)
Identification of any deviations from the specifications contained in rule
3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code. Any significant differences between the test
results shall be justified by the owner or operator.
[Comment: A significant change to a specification of rule
3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code is a modification as described in paragraph (A) of
rule
3745-400-15
of the Administrative Code.]
(6) The management structure and the
experience and training of the testing personnel.
(7) The construction certification of the
survey marks shall require a certified statement prepared by a professional
surveyor that the requirements of paragraph (F)(3)(i) of rule
3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code have been met.
(C) The owner or operator shall verify the
following at the frequencies
or in the manner
specified in this paragraph:
(1) Prior
to use in construction
,
of the recompacted soil liner or any soil barrier
layer or in the addition of geologic material to establish isolation distance,
the soil materials
used for the
following shall be tested for recompacted permeability at construction
specifications at a frequency of least once for every ten thousand cubic yards
of soil to show that the materials are suitable for use
.
:
(a)
Recompacted soil
liner.
(b)

3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code, pertaining to a maximum permeability of 1 x
10-6
cm/sec for each
lift of the recompacted soil.
(2) The permeability of each lift of the
recompacted soil liner, soil barrier layer, or added geologic material shall be
verified on undisturbed samples at least once per every two acres. Any
penetrations shall be repaired using methods acceptable to the licensing
authority.
(3) Prior to being used
in the leachate collection system, the proposed drainage medium shall be tested
for permeability at least once for every five thousand cubic yards of
material.
(4) Prior to use in the
construction of the standard cap system, the soil materials to be recompacted
shall be classified by texture according to paragraph (G)(2)(a)(i) of rule
3745-400-07
of the Administrative Code at least once for every five thousand cubic yards of
soil to demonstrate the materials are suitable for use.
(5) After construction, the compacted density
of the recompacted soil of the standard cap system and the subbase of any soil
barrier layer shall
be demonstrated by

(6) If the standard or modified Proctor
density is to be used as the standard for recompaction as in paragraph
(C)(5)(b) or (C)(5)(c)
(C)(5)(b) of this rule, the maximum dry density and
optimum moisture content shall be also established by method ASTM D698 or ASTM
D1557 at least once for every five thousand cubic yards of soil prior to use.
