Utah Admin. Code R313-25-27 - Environmental Monitoring
(1) At the time a
license application is submitted, the applicant shall have conducted a
preoperational monitoring program to provide basic environmental data on the
disposal site characteristics. The applicant shall obtain information about the
ecology, meteorology, climate, hydrology, geology, geochemistry, and seismology
of the disposal site. For those characteristics that are subject to seasonal
variation, data shall cover at least a 12-month period.
(2) During the land disposal facility site
construction and operation, the licensee shall maintain an environmental
monitoring program. Measurements and observations shall be made and recorded to
provide data to evaluate the potential health and environmental impacts during
both the construction and the operation of the facility and to enable the
evaluation of long-term effects and need for mitigative measures. The
monitoring system shall be capable of providing early warning of releases of
waste from the disposal site before they leave the site boundary.
(3) After the disposal site is closed, the
licensee responsible for post-operational surveillance of the disposal site
shall maintain a monitoring system based on the operating history and the
closure and stabilization of the disposal site. The monitoring system shall be
capable of providing early warning of releases of waste from the disposal site
before they leave the site boundary.
(4) The licensee shall have plans for taking
corrective measures if the environmental monitoring program detects migration
of waste which would indicate that the performance objectives may not be
met.
