Unless exempted by these rules, or required by annual reporting requirements in another chapter, an annual report and fee for a transfer station or storage site must be submitted to the Department for review and approval in accordance with the requirements of 06-096 CMR ch. 400, section 3(E), using the form attached as Appendix B of this chapter. The annual report must include a comprehensive review and report of activities at and affecting the transfer station or storage site during the previous year.

NOTE: Wood waste storage at wood products facilities licensed under section 6 and tire storage sites licensed under section 7 are not required to file annual reports unless specifically required to through a license condition.

A. General. The annual report must include a summary of activity at the transfer station or storage site during the past year, and a discussion of any factors, either at the transfer station or storage site, or elsewhere, which affected the operation, design, or environmental monitoring program of the transfer station or storage site.

B. Operations

(1) The annual report must document minor changes to the operation of the transfer station or storage site not requiring departmental approval that have occurred during the reporting year. Also, minor operating changes proposed to be changed in the current year may be described in the annual report. Changes handled in this manner are those that do not require licensing under minor revisions or amendment provisions of 06-096 CMR ch. 400.

(2) A summary of responses to spills, fires, accidents and unusual events that occurred at the transfer station or storage site during the last year.

(4) If the transfer station or storage site utilizes one or more base pads for the storage of non-containerized solid wastes, verification that 2 feet of till soil remains between the waste, and seasonal high water and bedrock. If the separation depth is found to be less than 2 feet, sufficient material must be brought in to recreate the necessary separation. Verification may consist of a statement from the transfer station or storage site owner/operator that the separation is at least 2 feet, or the results of a field investigation or survey of the facility.

C. Facility Site Changes. The annual report must document minor changes to the facility site not requiring departmental approval that have occurred during the reporting year. Also, minor aspects of the facility site proposed to be changed in the current year may be described in the annual report. Changes handled in this manner are those that do not require licensing under minor revisions or amendment provisions of 06-096 CMR ch. 400.

D. Monitoring. An evaluation of the past year's monitoring results (if applicable). Any recommended changes may be proposed in the annual report.
