and plan views of all structures and enclosures showing dimensions. Plan views
showing building setbacks, side and rear distances between the proposed
structure and other existing or proposed structures, roadways, parking areas,
and site boundaries;
(2) Interior
floor plans showing the layout, profile view and dimensions of the processing
lines, interior unloading, sorting, storage, and loading areas as well as other
functional areas;
(3) A plan
identifying, locating and describing utilities that will service the facility
including, but not limited to, the storm water drainage system, sanitary sewer
system, water supply system, and energy system; interface of the proposed
facility with the existing utility systems.
5. When applicable, the following information
shall be presented on plan sheets:
a. All
information on existing site conditions map unless including this information
leads to confusion with the data intended for display.
b. A survey grid with base lines and
monuments to be used for field control.
c. All drainage patterns and surface water
drainage control structures both within the area and at the site perimeter to
include berms, ditches, sedimentation basins, pumps, sumps, culverts, pipes,
inlets, velocity breaks, sodding, erosion matting, or other methods of erosion
control.
d. Access roads and
traffic flow patterns to and within:
(1) The
storage and transfer areas of waste to energy, thermal treatment, and
incinerator facilities.
(2) The
active fill area of all other facilities.
e. All temporary and permanent
fencing.
f. The methods of
screening such as berms, vegetation, or special fencing.
g. Wastewater or leachate collection, control
and treatment systems, which may include pipes, manholes, trenches, berms,
collection sumps or basins, pumps, risers, liners, and liner splices.
h. Special waste handling areas.
i. Construction notes and references to
details.
j. Other site
features.
6. Detailed
drawings and typical sections for drainage control structures, access roads,
fencing, buildings, signs, and other construction details.
B. A design report for the facility is
required and will provide the technical details and specifications necessary to
support the design plans consisting of, at least, the following information:
1. For waste to energy, thermal treatment,
and incinerator facilities:
a. The design
report shall identify the project title; engineering consultants; site owner,
licensee and operator; site life and capacity; municipalities, industries, and
collection and transportation agencies served; and waste types to be disposed.
It shall also identify any exemptions desired by the applicant.
b. The design capacity specifications shall
include, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) The process rate of the facility, in both
tons per day and tons per hour;
(2)
The expected short-term and projected future long-term daily
loadings;
(3) The designation of
normal loading, unloading and storage areas, including capacities in cubic
yards and tons. Description of the time such areas can be practically used,
based on expected short-term daily loadings;
(4) The designation of emergency loading,
unloading, storage, or other disposal capabilities to be used when facility
system down time exceeds 24 hours;
(5) The designation of alternate management
facilities or plans for transfer of stored waste in the event facility system
down time exceeds 72 hours;
c. The design specifications for process
residues to include the following:
(1) The
expected daily quantity of waste residue generations;
(2) The proposed ultimate disposal location
for all facility-generated waste residues including, but not limited to, ash
residues and bypass material, residues resulting from air pollution control
devices, and the proposed alternate disposal locations for any unauthorized
waste types, which may have been unknowingly accepted. The schedule for
securing contracts for the disposal of these waste types at the designated
locations shall be provided;
(3) A
descriptive statement of any materials use, reuse, or reclamation activities to
be operated in conjunction with the facility, either on the incoming solid
waste or the ongoing residue;
d. A descriptive statement and detailed
specification of the proposed onsite and offsite transportation system intended
to service vehicles hauling waste to the facility for processing, and vehicles
removing reclaimed materials and or process residues from the facility. Onsite
parking, access and exit points, and the mechanisms or features that will be
employed to provide for an even flow of traffic into, out of, and within the
site, shall be identified.
e. An
appendix to the design plan shall be submitted that shall include any
additional data not previously presented, calculations, material
specifications, operating agreements, wastewater treatment agreements,
documents related to long-term care funding, and other appropriate
information.
2. For all
other facilities:
a. The design report shall
identify the project title; engineering consultants; site owner, licensee and
operator; site life and capacity; municipalities, industries and collection and
transportation agencies served; and waste types and quantities to be disposed.
It shall also identify any exemptions desired by the applicant. The
specifications shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) Design and construction specifications
for the site shall be presented, including detailed instructions to the site
operator for all aspects of site construction and development. References to
specifications on the plan sheet shall be pointed out as well as additional
instructions included, where appropriate.
(2) The design report specifications shall
include access roads and entrance, screening, fencing, and other special design
features.
b. An appendix
shall be submitted that shall include any additional data not previously
presented, calculations, material specifications, operating agreements,
leachate treatment agreements, documents related to long-term care funding, and
other appropriate information.
C. When required by the Financial Assurance
Regulations of Solid Waste Disposal, Transfer, and Treatment Facilities
(9VAC20-70), the applicant shall provide the completed documentation to
demonstrate compliance with those regulations; proof of financial
responsibility must be for the entity identified in accordance with
9VAC20-81-450 B 10.
D. Closure plan. The applicant shall prepare
and submit a detailed plan for closing any SWMF. Such a plan shall be prepared
to reflect the actions required at the time of closing the facility with the
maximum permitted process rate onsite. The plan shall reflect all steps
necessary to isolate the facility from the environment or to remove and dispose
of all solid waste and residue in the facility. The closure plan shall reflect
all actions necessary for facility abandonment or uses other than for solid
waste management.
E. Sound level
data. When required by the director, the applicant shall survey, record, and
submit background sound level data in the vicinity of the proposed facility at
the time of application for a permit.
