If leachate or run-off from a pile is a hazardous waste, then control of the leachate or run-off must be accomplished by either of the following means:

a) Control by Pile Design, Construction, and Operation

1) The pile must be placed on an impermeable base that is compatible with the waste under the conditions of treatment or storage;

2) The owner or operator must design, construct, operate and maintain a run-on control system capable of preventing flow onto the active portion of the pile during peak discharge from at least a 25-year storm;

3) The owner or operator must design, construct, operate and maintain a run-off management system to collect and control at least the water volume resulting from a 24-hour, 25-year storm; and

4) Collection and holding facilities (e.g., tanks or basins) associated with run-on and run-off control systems must be emptied or otherwise managed expeditiously to maintain design capacity of the system; or

b) Alternative Control

1) The pile must be protected from precipitation and run-on by some other means; and

2) No liquids or wastes containing free liquids may be placed in the pile.

BOARD NOTE: If collected leachate or run-off is discharged through a point source to waters of the United States, it is subject to the requirements of Section 12 of the Act.
