Section 3745-40-06 - Beneficial use site authorizations for class B biosolids
Current through all regulations passed and filed through December 16, 2024
(A) Authorization for a beneficial use site. Prior to the beneficial use of class B biosolids, a permittee shall obtain written notice of authorization to beneficially use class B biosolids at a proposed beneficial use site from the director or an authorized representative pursuant to the permittee's NPDES permit or approved biosolids management plan.
(B) Biosolids shall be beneficially used at a site in accordance with this chapter, the permittee's NPDES permit or approved biosolids management plan, and the conditions stated in the notice of authorization of the specific beneficial use site.
(C) Authorization to beneficially use biosolids at a site shall be valid for only the treatment works that are owned by the same permittee who signs the beneficial use site authorization application form approved by the director.
[Comment: For example, a municipality that has two different NPDES permitted treatment works would be authorized to beneficially use biosolids from either treatment works at a single beneficial use site.]
(D) Authorized beneficial use site transfer. Any permittee who wishes to transfer an authorized beneficial use site from one treatment works to another shall make the request in writing on forms approved by the director and obtain written notice from the director or an authorized representative that the transfer is authorized prior to beneficial use at the authorized beneficial use site.
(E) Amending an authorized beneficial use site. Prior to amending the acreage for a currently authorized beneficial use site or reducing an isolation distance from an occupied structure, a permittee shall request the change in writing on forms approved by the director, provide additional information if requested by the director or an authorized representative, and shall receive written notice from the director or an authorized representative that the amendment to the beneficial use site acreage or reduction of the isolation distance is authorized.
(F) Re-certification of beneficial use site criteria. The permittee shall certify that prior to beneficial use, each authorized beneficial use site was evaluated for changes at or near the authorized beneficial use site.
