(b) Each nonhazardous ash transfer/processing operation or nonhazardous ash disposal/monofill facility design shall be based on appropriate data regarding the expected service area, anticipated nature and quantity of nonhazardous ash to be received, climatological factors, physical settings, adjacent land use (existing and planned), types and number of vehicles anticipated to enter the operation or facility, adequate off-street parking facilities for transfer vehicles, drainage control, the hours of operation and other pertinent information. If the operation or facility is to be used by the general public, the design shall take account of safety features that may be needed to accommodate such public use.
(c) The operation or facility shall be designed in such a manner as to restrict the unloading area to as small an area as practicable, provide adequate control of windblown material, and minimize the creation of nuisances at the operation or facility. Other factors that shall be taken into consideration are: dust control, noise control, public safety, and other pertinent matters related to the protection of public health.
(d) Nonhazardous ash storage containers that are considered weathertight shall be durable, easily cleanable, designed for safe handling, and constructed to prevent loss of wastes from the equipment during storage. Such equipment shall be nonabsorbent and leak-resistant. Unloading areas shall be easily cleanable, designed for safe handling and constructed to prevent loss of nonhazardous ash.
