Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024

"Part B" information requirements in this rule reflect the standards established in Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57 and 3745-205 of the Administrative Code. These information requirements are necessary in order to determine compliance with Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57 and 3745-205 of the Administrative Code. If owners and operators of hazardous waste management facilities can demonstrate that the information prescribed in "Part B" cannot be provided to the extent required, the director may make allowance for submittal of such information on a case-by-case basis. Information required in "Part B" shall be submitted to the director and signed in accordance with rule 3745-50-42 of the Administrative Code. Certain technical data, such as design drawings and specifications, and engineering studies shall be certified by a qualified professional engineer. For post-closure permits, only the information specified in paragraph (C)(14) of this rule is required in "Part B" of the permit application. As used in this rule, "in operation" has the same meaning as in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code. "Part B" of the permit application includes the following:

(f) Prevent releases to the atmosphere.

(9) A description of precautions to prevent accidental ignition or reaction of ignitable wastes, reactive wastes, or incompatible wastes as required to demonstrate compliance with rule 3745-54-17 of the Administrative Code, including documentation demonstrating compliance with paragraph (C) of rule 3745-54-17 of the Administrative Code.

(10) Traffic pattern, estimated volume (number, types of vehicles) and control [ for example, show turns across traffic lanes, and stacking lanes (if appropriate), describe access road surfacing and load-bearing capacity, show traffic control signals].

(11) Facility location information:

(a) [Reserved.]

(b) [Reserved.]

(c) Owners and operators of all facilities shall provide an identification of whether the facility is located within a one-hundred-year floodplain. This identification shall indicate the source of data for such determination and include a copy of the relevant federal insurance administration (FIA) flood map, if used, or the calculations and maps used where an FIA map is not available. Information shall be provided identifying the one-hundred-year flood level and any other special flooding factors (e.g., wave action) which shall be considered in designing, constructing, operating, or maintaining the facility to withstand washout from a one-hundred-year flood.

[Comment: Where maps for the "National Flood Insurance Program" produced by the FIA of the federal emergency management agency are available, these maps will normally be determinative of whether a facility is located within or outside of the one-hundred-year floodplain. However, where the FIA maps exclude an area (usually an area of the floodplain less than two hundred feet in width), this area shall be considered and a determination made as to whether the area is in the one-hundred-year floodplain. Where FIA maps are not available for a proposed facility location, the owner or operator shall use equivalent mapping techniques to determine whether the facility is within the one-hundred-year floodplain, and if so located, what the one-hundred-year flood elevation would be.]

(d) Owners and operators of facilities located in the one-hundred-year floodplain shall provide the following information:

(i) Engineering analysis to indicate the various hydrodynamic and hydrostatic forces expected to result at the site as a consequence of a one-hundred-year flood.

(ii) Structural or other engineering studies showing the design of operational units (e.g., tanks, incinerators) and flood protection devices (e.g., floodwalls, dikes) at the facility and how these will prevent washout.

(iii) If applicable, and in lieu of paragraphs (A)(11)(d)(i) and (A)(11)(d)(ii) of this rule, a detailed description of procedures to be followed to remove hazardous waste to safety before the facility is flooded, including:
