a) For non-lagoon livestock waste handling facilities required to install and sample perimeter drainage tubing pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 506, the requirements of this Section shall be met.
1) The owner or
operator of a livestock waste handling facility shall sample the liquid from
the monitoring port prior to the livestock waste handling facility being placed
into service and at least quarterly thereafter, if any liquid is available. The
samples shall be analyzed for the following items: nitrate-nitrogen,
phosphate-phosphorus, chloride, sulfate and ammonia-nitrogen.
2) Analytical results as determined in
subsection (a)(1) of this Section shall be submitted to the Department within
30 days after sample collection and shall include a discussion relative to the
significance of the results. Such discussion of significance shall include:
A) A comparison of the results to the initial
sampling made prior to the livestock waste handling facility being placed in
service; and
B) A description of
any proposed response action necessary to mitigate potential impacts to
groundwater.
3) The
Department shall review the submittal provided pursuant to subsection (a)(2) of
this Section, evaluate the proposed response action, and provide a time frame
for the correction of any identified deficiencies. As a result of the
evaluation, the Department may approve or modify the monitoring program or
response action including, but not limited to, the following:
A) Increased the monitoring port sampling
frequency;
B) Decreased the
sampling frequency if, after four consecutive quarters, no detections are
identified;
C) Add or delete items
from the list of samples analytes provided in subsection (a)(1) of this
Section, including bacteriological testing; or
D) require changes to the design,
construction or operation of the livestock waste handling facility or changes
in the operation of the livestock management facility that shall be implemented
by the owner or operator within the time frame established by the
Department.
b) The owner or operator of the livestock waste handling facility may, upon written request and with written approval from the Department, modify or exceed these standards in order to meet site specific objectives. The owner or operator shall demonstrate that such modification shall be at least as protective of the groundwater, surface water and the structural integrity of the livestock waste handling facility as the requirements of this Part.
