a) Seismic Considerations
BOARD NOTE: Procedures for demonstrating compliance with this standard in Part B of the permit application are specified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.182. Facilities that are located in political jurisdictions other than those listed in appendix VI to 40 CFR 264 (Political Jurisdictions in Which Compliance with § 264.18(a) Must Be Demonstrated), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111(b), are assumed to be in compliance with this requirement.
b) Floodplains
BOARD NOTE: Requirements pertaining to other federal laws that affect the location and permitting of facilities are found in 40 CFR 270.3. For details relative to these laws, see USEPA's manual for SEA (special environmental area) requirements for hazardous waste facility permits. Though USEPA is responsible for complying with these requirements, applicants are advised to consider them in planning the location of a facility to help prevent subsequent project delays. Facilities may be required to obtain from the Illinois Department of Transportation on a permit or certification that a facility is flood-proofed.
c) Salt dome formations, salt bed formations, underground mines and caves. The placement of any non-containerized or bulk liquid hazardous waste in any salt dome formation, salt bed formation, underground cave or mine is prohibited.
