(11) Facility location information;
(i) In order to determine the applicability
of the seismic standard, Subsection
R315-264-18(a),
the owner or operator of a new facility shall identify the political
jurisdiction, e.g., county, township, or election district, in which the
facility is proposed to be located. If the county or election district is not
listed in appendix VI of Rule R315-264, no further information is required to
demonstrate compliance with Subsection
R315-264-18(a).
(ii) If the facility is proposed to be
located in an area listed in appendix VI of Rule R315-264, the owner or
operator shall demonstrate compliance with the seismic standard. This
demonstration may be made using either published geologic data or data obtained
from field investigations carried out by the applicant. The information
provided shall be of such quality to be acceptable to geologists experienced in
identifying and evaluating seismic activity. The information submitted shall
show that either:
(A) No faults which have
had displacement in Holocene time are present, or no lineations which suggest
the presence of a fault, which have displacement in Holocene time, within 3,000
feet of a facility are present, based on data from:
(1) Published geologic studies,
(2) Aerial reconnaissance of the area within
a five-mile radius from the facility.
(3) An analysis of aerial photographs
covering a 3,000 foot radius of the facility, and
(4) If needed to clarify the above data, a
reconnaissance based on walking portions of the area within 3,000 feet of the
facility, or
(B) If
faults, to include lineations, which have had displacement in Holocene time are
present within 3,000 feet of a facility, no faults pass within 200 feet of the
portions of the facility where treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous
waste will be conducted, based on data from a comprehensive geologic analysis
of the site. Unless a site analysis is otherwise conclusive concerning the
absence of faults within 200 feet of such portions of the facility data shall
be obtained from a subsurface exploration, trenching, of the area within a
distance no less than 200 feet from portions of the facility where treatment,
storage, or disposal of hazardous waste will be conducted. Such trenching shall
be performed in a direction that is perpendicular to known faults, which have
had displacement in Holocene time, passing within 3,000 feet of the portions of
the facility where treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste will be
conducted. Such investigation shall document with supporting maps and other
analyses, the location of faults found. The Guidance Manual for the Location
Standards provides greater detail on the content of each type of seismic
investigation and the appropriate conditions under which each approach or a
combination of approaches would be used.
(iii) Owners and operators of all facilities
shall provide an identification of whether the facility is located within a
100-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 also be provided
identifying the 100-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 100-year
flood. Where maps for the National Flood Insurance Program produced by the
Federal Insurance Administration of the Federal Emergency Management Agency are
available, they will normally be determinative of whether a facility is located
within or outside of the 100-year floodplain. However, where the FIA map
excludes an area, usually areas of the floodplain less than 200 feet in width,
these areas shall be considered and a determination made as to whether they are
in the 100-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 100-year floodplain,
and if so located, what the 100-year flood elevation would be.
(iv) Owners and operators of facilities
located in the 100-year floodplain shall provide the following information:
(A) Engineering analysis to indicate the
various hydrodynamic and hydrostatic forces expected to result at the site as
consequence of a 100-year flood.
(B) 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.
(C) If applicable,
and in lieu of Subsections R315-270-14(b)(11)(iv)(A) and (B), a detailed
description of procedures to be followed to remove hazardous waste to safety
before the facility is flooded, including:
(I) Timing of such movement relative to flood
levels, including estimated time to move the waste, to show that such movement
can be completed before floodwaters reach the facility.
(II) A description of the location(s) to
which the waste will be moved and demonstration that those facilities will be
eligible to receive hazardous waste in accordance with the regulations under
Rules R315-270, 124, and 264 through 266.
(III) The planned procedures, equipment, and
personnel to be used and the means to ensure that such resources will be
available in time for use.
(IV) The
potential for accidental discharges of the waste during movement.
(v) Existing
facilities NOT in compliance with Subsection
R315-264-18(b)
shall provide a plan showing how the facility will be brought into compliance
and a schedule for compliance.
(12) An outline of both the introductory and
continuing training programs by owners or operators to prepare persons to
operate or maintain the hazardous waste management facility in a safe manner as
required to demonstrate compliance with Section
R315-264-16. A
brief description of how training will be designed to meet actual job tasks in
accordance with requirements in Subsection
R315-264-16(a)(3).
(13) A copy of the closure plan and, where
applicable, the post-closure plan required by Sections
R315-264-112,
118, and 197. Include, where applicable, as part of the plans, specific

have been closed, documentation that notices required under Section
R315-264-119
have been filed.
(15) The most
recent closure cost estimate for the facility prepared in accordance with
Section
R315-264-142
and a copy of the documentation required to demonstrate financial assurance
under Section
R315-264-143.
For a new facility, a copy of the required documentation may be submitted 60
days prior to the initial receipt of hazardous wastes, if that is later than
the submission of the part B.
(16)
Where applicable, the most recent post-closure cost estimate for the facility
prepared in accordance with Section
R315-264-144
plus a copy of the documentation required to demonstrate financial assurance
under Section
R315-264-145.
For a new facility, a copy of the required documentation may be submitted 60
days prior to the initial receipt of hazardous wastes, if that is later than
the submission of the part B.
(17)
Where applicable, a copy of the insurance policy or other documentation which
comprises compliance with the requirements of Section
R315-264-147.
For a new facility, documentation showing the amount of insurance meeting the
specification of Subsection
R315-264-147(a)
and, if applicable, Subsection
