25 Pa. Code § 289.512 - 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 §§
289.531-289.538 (relating to additional
operating requirements-liner system), including the following:
(1) The 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 the liner system will be
maintained and protected in unfilled portions of the disposal area prior to and
during initial disposal 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 initial disposal 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 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 liner, based on ASTM methods when appropriate. 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-% of liner
strength.
(10) Ultraviolet light
resistance.
(11) Carbon black
dispersion.
(12)
Permeability.
(13) Liner
friction.
(14) Stress crack
resistance.
(15) Oxidative
induction time.
(16) Chemical
compatibility.
(17) Percent
recycled materials.
