2. An engineering
report which includes all of the following:
a. Detailed plans and specifications for the
entire facility including manufacturer's performance data and design features

methods;
d. Description of plans
for final use and disposal of PCS and remediated soil, liners, piping, carbon
canisters, and any other contaminated equipment;
e. Procedures to ensure that only waste which
has been characterized is received and that hazardous waste is not

f. Procedures for random
inspection of incoming loads to verify that only waste which has been
characterized is accepted;

5. A contingency plan for
emergency preparedness which describes alternatives for storage, treatment, or
disposal.
6. A closure plan which

necessary to close the facility, the specific proposed closure activities, and
an implementation schedule;
b.
Information on site conditions and characterization of the waste received
during the life of the facility;
c.
A description of the sampling plan utilized to sample background soil beneath
the site following closure;
d. A
description of plans for use of the land site after closure;
e. A description of post-closure
care.
7. An affidavit
that the proposed facility is in compliance with local zoning requirements in
effect at the time the application is submitted.
D. Following completion of construction of a
facility and prior to placement of PCS on the site, the owner or operator shall
submit to the Department a construction certification report, including
as-built plans which indicate any changes to the design or operational plans
for the facility.
E. Plans required
in accordance with this Section shall be sealed by a professional engineer
registered in the state of Arizona, if required by statute.
F. A facility shall be in compliance with all
other applicable federal, state, and local approvals or permits which are
required for the design, construction, and operation of the facility.
