25 Pa. Code § 273.161 - Liner system and leachate control plan
(a) The application shall contain plans,
drawings, cross sections and specifications for a liner system to demonstrate
compliance with §§
273.251-273.260 (relating to liner
system), including the following:
(1) Design
of the liner system, including thickness and characteristics of the subbase,
the thickness and characteristics of the leachate detection zone, the design
for the leachate monitoring system in the leachate detection zone, the nature
and thickness of the liner material, the thickness and characteristics of the
protective cover and leachate collection zone and the design for the leachate
collection system in the collection zone.
(2) A plan for installing the liner
system.
(b) The
application shall include a quality assurance and quality control plan for the
construction and installation of the liner system. The plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following:
(1) A description of
the testing procedures and construction methods proposed to be implemented
during construction of the liner system.
(2) A description of the manner in which the
protective cover and liner system will be maintained and protected in unfilled
portions of the disposal area prior to and during placement of the initial life
of solid waste.
(3) A description
of the manner in which the protective cover and liner system will be protected
from weather prior to and during placement of the initial life of solid
waste.
(4) A description of the
qualifications of the quality assurance and quality control personnel,
presented in terms of experience and training necessary to implement the
plan.
(5) A sampling plan for every
component of the liner system, including sample size, methods for determining
sample locations, sampling frequency, acceptance and rejection criteria and
methods for ensuring that corrective measures are implemented as soon as
possible.
(6) A plan for
documenting compliance with the quality assurance and quality control
plan.
(c) The application
shall demonstrate that leachate will not adversely affect the physical or
chemical characteristics of the proposed liner system, or inhibit the liner's
ability to restrict the flow of solid waste, solid waste constituents or
leachate, based on the most recent edition of EPA or ASTM guidelines approved
by the Department.
(d) The
application shall include a complete description of the physical, chemical,
mechanical and thermal properties for the proposed primary and secondary
liners, based on ASTM methods when appropriate. Except to the extent that the
Department waives in writing any of the following for nonsynthetic secondary
liners, these properties shall include, at a minimum:
(1) Thickness.
(2) Tensile strength at yield.
(3) Elongation at yield.
(4) Elongation at break.
(5) Density.
(6) Tear resistance.
(7) Carbon black content.
(8) Puncture resistance.
(9) Seam strength-(percentage of liner
strength).
(10) Ultraviolet light
resistance.
(11) Carbon black
dispersion.
(12)
Permeability.
(13) Liner friction
angle in degress.
(14) Stress crack
resistance.
(15) Oxative induction
time.
(16) Chemical
compatibility.
(17) Percent
recycled materials.
