Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024
A miscellaneous unit shall be located, designed, constructed,
operated, maintained, and closed in a manner that will ensure protection of
human health and the environment. Permits for miscellaneous units are to
contain such terms and provisions as necessary to protect human health and the
environment, including, but not limited to, as appropriate, design and
operating requirements, detection and monitoring requirements, and requirements
for responses to releases of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents from the
unit. Permit terms and provisions shall include those requirements of rules
3745-50-40 to
3745-50-235,
3745-55-70 to
3745-55-79, 3745-55-90 to
3745-55-100, 3745-57-02 to 3745-57-17, 3745-57-40 to
3745-57-51, 3745-205-30 to 3745-205-36, 3745-205-50 to
3745-205-65, 3745-205-80 to 3745-205-90, and Chapters 3745-34 and
3745-56 of the Administrative Code, and 40 CFR Part 146 that are appropriate
for the miscellaneous unit being permitted. Protection of human health and the
environment includes, but is not limited to:
(A) Prevention of any releases that may have
adverse effects on human health or the environment due to migration of waste
constituents in the ground water or subsurface environment, considering:
(1) The volume and physical and chemical
characteristics of the waste in the unit, including that waste's potential for
migration through soil, liners, or other containing structures;
(2) The hydrologic and geologic
characteristics of the unit and the surrounding area;
(3) The existing quality of ground water,
including other sources of contamination and the cumulative impact of such
contamination on the ground water;
(4) The quantity and direction of ground
water flow;
(5) The proximity to
and withdrawal rates of current and potential ground water users;
(6) The patterns of land use in the
region;
(7) The potential for
deposition or migration of waste constituents into subsurface physical
structures, and into the root zone of food-chain crops and other
vegetation;
(8) The potential for
health risks caused by human exposure to waste constituents; and
(9) The potential for damage to domestic
animals, wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical structures caused by
exposure to waste constituents.
(B) Prevention of any releases that may have
adverse effects on human health or the environment due to migration of waste
constituents in surface water, or wetlands, or on the soil surface,
considering:
(1) The volume and physical and
chemical characteristics of the waste in the unit;
(2) The effectiveness and reliability of
containing, confining, and collecting systems and structures in preventing
migration;
(3) The hydrologic
characteristics of the unit and the surrounding area, including the topography
of the land around the unit;
(4)
The patterns of precipitation in the region;
(5) The quantity, quality, and direction of
ground water flow;
(6) The
proximity of the unit to surface waters;
(7) The current and potential uses of nearby
surface waters and any water quality standards established for those surface
waters;
(8) The existing quality of
surface waters and surface soils, including other sources of contamination and
the cumulative impact of such contamination on surface waters and surface
soils;
(9) The patterns of land use
in the region;
(10) The potential
for health risks caused by human exposure to waste constituents; and
(11) The potential for damage to domestic
animals, wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical structures caused by
exposure to waste constituents.
(C) Prevention of any release that may have
adverse effects on human health or the environment due to migration of waste
constituents in the air, considering:
(1) The
volume and physical and chemical characteristics of the waste in the unit,
including the waste's potential for the emission and dispersal of gases,
aerosols, and particulates;
(2) The
effectiveness and reliability of systems and structures to reduce or prevent
emissions of hazardous constituents to the air;
(3) The operating characteristics of the
unit;
(4) The atmospheric,
meteorologic, and topographic characteristics of the unit and the surrounding
area;
(5) The existing quality of
the air, including other sources of contamination and the cumulative impact of
such contamination on the air;
(6)
The potential health risks caused by human exposure to waste constituents;
and
(7) The potential for damage to
domestic animals, wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical structures caused
by exposure to waste constituents.
