hazardous waste, except as otherwise provided in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.101,
the Part B application must include the following:
a) A description of plans to conduct
treatment demonstration as required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.372.
The description must include the following information:
1) The wastes for which the demonstration
will be made and the potential hazardous constituents in the wastes;
2) The data sources to be used to make the
demonstration (e.g., literature, laboratory data, field data, or operating
data);
3) Any specific laboratory
or field test that will be conducted, including the following:
A) the type of test (e.g., column leaching,
degradation);
B) materials and
methods, including analytical procedures;
C) expected time for completion;
D) characteristics of the unit that will be
simulated in the demonstration, including treatment zone characteristics,
climatic conditions and operating practices;
b) A description of a land treatment program,
as required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.371. This
information must be submitted with the plans for the treatment demonstration,
and updated following the treatment demonstration. The land treatment program
must address the following items:
1) The
wastes to be land treated;
2)
Design measures and operating practices necessary to maximize treatment in
accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.373(a)
including the following:
A) Waste application method and
rate;
B) Measures to control soil
pH;
C) Enhancement of microbial or
chemical reactions; and
D) Control
of moisture content;
3)
Provisions of unsaturated zone monitoring, including the following:
A) Sampling equipment, procedures, and
frequency;
B) Procedures for
selecting sampling locations;
C)
Analytical procedures;
D) Chain of
custody control;
E) Procedures for
establishing background values;
F)
Statistical methods for interpreting results; and
G) The justification for any hazardous
constituents recommended for selection as principal hazardous constituents, in
accordance with the criteria for such selection in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.378(a);
4) A list of hazardous
constituents reasonably expected to be in, or derived from, the wastes to be
land treated based on waste analysis performed pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.113;
5) The proposed dimensions of the treatment
zone;
c) A description
of how the unit is or will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in
order to meet the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.373. This submission
must address the following items:
1) Control
of run-on;
2) Collection and
control of run-off;
3) Minimization
of run-off of hazardous constituents from the treatment zone;
4) Management of collection and holding
facilities associated with run-on and run-off control systems;
5) Periodic inspection of the unit. This
information should be included in the inspection plan submitted under Section
703.183(e);
and
6) Control of wind dispersal of
particulate matter, if applicable;
d) If food-chain crops are to be grown in or
on the treatment zone of the land treatment unit, a description of how the
demonstration required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.376(a)
will be conducted, including the following:
1) Characteristics of the food-chain crop for
which the demonstration will be made;
2) Characteristics of the waste, treatment
zone, and waste application method and rate to be used in the
demonstration;
3) Procedures for
crop growth, sample collection, sample analysis, and data evaluation;
and
4) Characteristics of the
comparison crop including the location and conditions under which it was or
will be grown;
e) If
food-chain crops are to be grown and cadmium is present in the land-treated
waste, a description of how the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.376(b)
will be complied with;
f) A
description of the vegetative cover to be applied to closed portions of the
facility and a plan for maintaining such cover during the post-closure care
period, as required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.380(a)(8) and
(c)(2). This information should be included
in the closure plan and, where applicable, the post-closure care plan submitted
under Section
703.183(m);
g) If ignitable or reactive wastes will be
placed in or on the treatment zone, an explanation of how the requirements of
35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.381
will be complied with;
h) If
incompatible wastes or incompatible wastes and materials will be placed in or
on the same treatment zone, an explanation of how 35 Ill. Adm. Code
724.382
will be complied with; and
i) A
waste management plan for hazardous waste numbers F020, F021, F022, F023, F026,
and F027 describing how a land treatment facility is or will be designed,
constructed, operated, and maintained to meet the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm.
Code
724.383.
This submission must address the following items as specified in that Section:
1) The volume, physical, and chemical
characteristics of the wastes, including their potential to migrate through
soil or to volatilize or escape into the atmosphere;
2) The attenuative properties of underlying
and surrounding soils or other materials;
3) The mobilizing properties of other
materials co-disposed with these wastes; and
4) The effectiveness of additional treatment,
design, or monitoring techniques.
