Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Phasing
of Operations
1) Waste must be placed in a
manner and at such a rate that mass stability is provided during all phases of
operation. Mass stability means that the mass of waste deposited will not
undergo settling or slope failure that interrupts operations at the facility or
causes damage to any of the various landfill operations or structures, such as
the liner, leachate or drainage collection system, gas collection system, or
monitoring system.
2) The phasing
of operations at the facility must be designed in such a way as to allow the
sequential construction, filling, and closure of discrete units or parts of
units.
3) The operator must design
and sequence the waste placement operation in each discrete unit or parts of
units, in conjunction with the overall operations of the facility, so as to
shorten the operational phase and allow wastes to be built up to the planned
final grade.
b) Size and
Slope of Working Face
1) The working face of
the unit must be no larger than is necessary, based on the terrain and
equipment used in waste placement, to conduct operations in a safe and
efficient manner.
2) The slopes of
the working face area must be no steeper than two to one (horizontal to
vertical) unless the waste is stable at steeper slopes.
c) Equipment. Equipment must be maintained
and available for use at the facility during all hours of operation, so as to
achieve and maintain compliance with the requirements of this Part.
d) Utilities. All utilities, including but
not limited to heat, lights, power and communications equipment, necessary for
safe operation in compliance with the requirements of this Part must be
available at the facility at all times.
e) Maintenance. The operator must maintain
and operate all systems and related appurtenances and structures in a manner
that facilitates proper operations in compliance with this Part.
f) Open Burning. Open burning is prohibited,
except in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 200 through 245.
g) Dust Control. The operator must implement
methods for controlling dust, so as to prevent wind dispersal of particulate
matter.
h) Noise Control. The
facility must be designed, constructed, and maintained to minimize the level of
equipment noise audible outside the facility. The facility must not cause or
contribute to a violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900 through 905 or of Section 24
of the Act.
i) Vector Control. The
operator must implement measures to control the population of disease and
nuisance vectors.
j) Fire
Protection. The operator must institute fire protection measures including, but
not limited to, maintaining a supply of water onsite and radio or telephone
access to the nearest fire department.
k) Litter Control
1) The operator must patrol the facility
daily to check for litter accumulation. All litter must be collected and placed
in the fill or in a secure, covered container for later disposal.
2) The facility must not accept solid waste
from vehicles that do not utilize devices such as covers or tarpaulins to
control litter, unless the nature of the solid waste load is such that it
cannot cause any litter during its transportation to the facility.
l) Mud Tracking. The facility must
implement methods, such as use of wheel washing units, to prevent tracking of
mud by hauling vehicles onto public roadways.
m) Liquids Restrictions for MSWLF Units
1) Bulk or noncontainerized liquid waste may
not be placed in MSWLF units, unless one of the following conditions is true:
A) The waste is household waste other than
septic waste;
B) The waste is
leachate or gas condensate derived from the MSWLF unit and the MSWLF unit,
whether it is a new or existing MSWLF unit or lateral expansion, is designed
with a composite liner and leachate collection system that complies with the
requirements of Sections
811.306 through
811.309;
or
C) The Agency has issued an
RD&D permit pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
813.112(a)(2)
that allows the placement of noncontainerized liquids in the landfill, and that
permit is in effect.
2)
Containers holding liquid waste may not be placed in an MSWLF unit, unless one
of the following conditions is true:
A) The
container is a small container similar in size to that normally found in
household waste;
B) The container
is designed to hold liquids for use other than storage; or
C) The waste is household waste.
3) For purposes of this Section,
the following definitions apply:
A) "Liquid
waste" means any waste material that is determined to contain "free liquids",
as defined by Method 9095B (Paint Filter Liquids Test) (Revision 2, November
2004), as described in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Wastes,
Physical/Chemical Methods", incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
810.104.
B) "Gas condensate" means the liquid
generated as a result of gas recovery processes at the MSWLF unit.
BOARD NOTE: Subsections (m)(1) through (m)(3) are derived
from
40 CFR
258.28 (2017). Subsection (m)(1)(C) relating
to RD&D permits is derived from
