1. The Department may issue a Research, Development, and Demonstration Permit (RD&D Permit) in accordance with Regulation Regulation 61-107.10 for the land application of Class II solid waste. RD&D Permits will be issued for the purpose of gathering soil and crop information when documentation and data are unavailable to ensure that:

a. Land application of a particular solid waste will have no detrimental impact to the environment or public health; and,

b. Application rates that exceed 10 tons per acre per year on cultivated or forest land and 5 tons per acre per year on pasture land will have no detrimental impact to the environment or public health.

2. Land application of Class II solid waste will be considered by the Department on a case-and site-specific basis.

3. Unless otherwise defined in the Department permit, the boundary of a Class II solid waste application shall not extend closer than:

a. One hundred (100) feet of any property line. Variances may be requested and granted on a case-by-case basis upon submittal of written consent from the adjacent landowner(s).

5. Monitoring data obtained from Class II applications shall be submitted to the Department in the form of a technical report concerning the effectiveness and the environmental effect of the application. This report will be reviewed by the Department and an approved independent scientist(s) prior to determining the acceptability of the solid waste for land application and/or the proposed application rate. If the research and demonstration project is successful, the Department may classify the waste as either a Class I, Class III or a Class IV waste for the purposes of this regulation.

6. No less than seventy-two (72) hours prior to land application of a Class II solid waste at an approved location, the generator shall call the Department's EQC District Office and provide the following information:

a. The location to receive the application;

b. An estimate of the volume of waste to be land applied during the project;

c. The anticipated duration of the application activities; and,

d. An implementation schedule.
