Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025

The facility must keep the following information:

(1) A general description of the facility.

(2) Chemical and physical analyses of the hazardous waste and hazardous debris handled at the facility. At a minimum, these analyses must contain all the information known to treat or store the wastes properly under the requirements of Chapter 335, Subchapter U of this title (relating to Standards for Owners and Operators of Hazardous Waste Facilities Operating Under a Standard Permit).

(3) A copy of the waste analysis plan required by 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §270.13(b).

(4) A description of the security procedures and equipment required by 40 CFR §267.14.

(5) A copy of the general inspection schedule required by 40 CFR §267.15(b). The inspection schedule must include the applicable requirements of 40 CFR §§267.174, 267.193, 267.195, 264.1033, 264.1052, 264.1053, 264.1058, and 264.1088.

(7) A copy of the contingency plan required by § 335.602(a)(3) of this title.

(8) A description of procedures, structures, or equipment used at the facility to:

(A) prevent hazards in unloading operations (for example, use ramps, special forklifts);

(B) prevent runoff from hazardous waste handling areas to other areas of the facility or the environment, or to prevent flooding (for example, with berms, dikes, trenches);

(C) prevent contamination of water supplies;

(D) mitigate effects of equipment failure and power outages;

(E) prevent undue exposure of personnel to hazardous waste (for example, requiring protective clothing); and

(F) prevent releases to atmosphere.

(9) A description of precautions to prevent accidental ignition or reaction of ignitable, reactive, or incompatible wastes as required by 40 CFR §267.17.

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

(11) An outline of both the introductory and continuing training programs that will be used to prepare employees to operate or maintain the facility safely as required by 40 CFR §267.16 and a brief description of how training will be designed to meet actual job tasks under 40 CFR §267.16(a)(3) requirements.

(12) A copy of the closure plan required by 40 CFR §267.112. Include, where applicable, as part of the plans, specific requirements in 40 CFR §§267.176, 267.201, and 267.1108.

(13) The most recent closure cost estimate for the facility prepared under 40 CFR §267.142 and a copy of the documentation required to demonstrate financial assurance under 40 CFR §267.143. For a new facility, the required documentation must be gathered 60 days before the initial receipt of hazardous wastes.

(14) Where applicable, a copy of the insurance policy or other documentation that complies with the liability requirements of 40 CFR §267.147. For a new facility, documentation showing the amount of insurance meeting the specification of 40 CFR §267.147(a) that is planned to be in effect before initial receipt of hazardous waste for treatment or storage.

(15) Where appropriate, proof of coverage by a state financial mechanism, as required by 40 CFR §267.149 or § 267.150.

(16) A topographic map showing a distance of 1,000 feet around the facility at a scale of 2.5 centimeters (one inch) equal to not more than 61.0 meters (200 feet). The map must show elevation contours. The contour interval must show the pattern of surface water flow in the vicinity of and from each operational unit of the facility. For example, contours with an interval of 1.5 meters (five feet), if relief is greater than 6.1 meters (20 feet), or an interval of 0.6 meters (two feet), if relief is less than 6.1 meters (20 feet). If the facility is in a mountainous area, large contour intervals should be used to adequately show topographic profiles of facilities. The map must clearly show the following:

(A) map scale and date;

(B) 100-year flood plain area;

(C) surface waters including intermittent streams;

(D) surrounding land uses (residential, commercial, agricultural, recreational);

(E) a wind rose (i.e., prevailing wind-speed and direction);

(F) orientation of the map (north arrow);

(G) legal boundaries of the facility site;

(H) access control (fences, gates);

(I) injection and withdrawal wells both on site and off site;

(J) buildings; treatment, storage, or disposal operations; or other structures (recreation areas; runoff control systems; access and internal roads; storm, sanitary, and process sewerage systems; loading and unloading areas; fire control facilities, etc.);

(K) barriers for drainage or flood control; and

(L) location of operational units within the facility, where hazardous waste is (or will be) treated or stored. (Include equipment cleanup areas.)
