the nearest hydraulically downgradient receptor at any time during the life of
the facility. For the purposes of this subsection, the downgradient receptor
will be the facility property line, perennial surface water or domestic well,
whichever is nearest to the dangerous waste management unit. The contingent
groundwater protection program must at a minimum:
(I) Define the local and regional
hydrogeologic characteristics. The contingent groundwater protection program
must be based on a sufficient understanding of site geology, hydrology, and
other factors to allow evaluation of its adequacy by the department. Site
characterization must be performed in sufficient detail to provide, at a
minimum, the following information: Site geostratigraphy; site
hydrostratigra-phy; identification of aquifers, aquitards, and aquicludes; flow
models for each stratum (i.e., porus media or fracture flow); the distribution
of vertical and horizontal hydraulic conductivity; effective porosity;
horizontal and vertical hydraulic gradients; groundwater travel time to
receptors; and heterogeneity for each stratigraphic unit. Site interpretative
models must include ranges of tested values: The provisions of WAC
173-303-806(4)(a)(xx) and
173-303-645,
must be used as guidance in the development of the contingent groundwater
protection program.
(II) Identify
the range of potential release scenarios that could occur during facility
operation and the post-closure care period. The scenarios must incorporate the
intended design(s) of the dangerous waste management unit(s), wastes to be
placed in the dangerous waste management unit(s), waste and leachate chemistry,
waste, and soil and rock geo-chemical interactions, and the results of site
characterization pursuant to WAC 173-303-806(4)(a)(xx) and (xxi);
(III) Include specific physical action to be
taken if dangerous waste or dangerous waste constituents are detected in one or
more of the monitoring wells. The physical actions must be based upon
engineering feasibility studies describing remedial actions established from
site specific conditions and waste features. Such actions may include
installation of a pump and treat system between the monitoring well and the
receptor or installation of a section of slurry wall to decrease groundwater
travel times. The description of the systems must also provide how the
remediation system will achieve cleanup, its efficiency, and the time frames
involved;
(IV) Incorporate the
design, construction, and sampling methods outlined in WAC
173-303-645(8)(c),
(d), (e), (f), and (g);
(V) Demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
department that the owner/operator of the dangerous waste management facility
has the financial capability to implement the proposed groundwater protection
plan; and
(VI) Include reporting
procedures to the department.
(B) The response actions identified in WAC
173-303-806(4)(a)(xxi)(A)(III) must be activated if the presence of dangerous
waste or dangerous waste constituents have been detected at the point of
compliance in accordance with WAC
173-303-645(9)(g),
and must continue until the concentration of dangerous waste or dangerous waste
constituents under WAC
173-303-645(4)
are reduced to levels below their respective concentration limits specified in
WAC
173-303-645(5).
(C) If the owner/operator does not
demonstrate that the groundwater protection program will prevent the migration
of dangerous waste or its constituents to the nearest receptor, the department
will require corrections to be made in the protection program, increase
setbacks from the nearest receptor, or deny the permit.
(xxii) Additional requirements for
incineration facilities. The following actions regarding the protection of
human health and the environment must be taken by owners/operators of proposed
hazardous waste incineration facilities and may be required for owners or
operators of existing incineration facilities.
(A) Ambient monitoring program. The
owner/operator will be required to develop an ambient monitoring program. The
purpose of this ambient monitoring program will be to: Gather baseline
environmental information characterizing on-site and off-site environmental
conditions prior to facility operation; and, to identify and measure changes in
the environment which may be linked to the construction and operation of the
facility. The ambient monitoring program must, at a minimum:
(I) Include a characterization of facility
emission sources and pathways of contaminant transport.
(II) Characterize local and regional
ecosystems, including agricultural, and their sensitivity to the potential
contaminants from the facility.
(III) Incorporate the findings of the
environmental impact statement's health risk assessment and/or other
assessments specific to the proposal or available to the scientific community
regarding emissions from dangerous waste management facilities and their
potential human health and environmental effects.
(IV) Identify sensitive indicator plants and
animals for biomonitoring, identify specific chemical constituents of concern,
sampling locations, sampling frequency, sampling and analytical methods, chain
of custody procedures, quality assurance/quality control procedures, reporting
times, recordkeeping procedures, and data evaluation procedures.
(B) Environmental review
procedures. The owner/operator must establish procedures to allow for public
review of facility operation and all monitoring data required by the facility's
permit. In developing this process, the owner/operator must, at a minimum:
(I) Coordinate this effort with the public
and interested local organizations;
(II) Identify the informational needs of the
community and develop a public information process which meets these needs;
and
(III) Develop procedures
allowing full access by the public to all monitoring data required by the
permit.
(C) Impact
mitigation plan. Prior to the department issuing a permit, the owner/operator
must submit an impact mitigation plan which demonstrates to the satisfaction of
the department that the owner/operator will mitigate all probable significant
adverse impacts, including economic, due to facility location and operations.
The owner/operator must use as a basis for identifying probable significant
adverse economic impacts those probable economic impacts identified during a
public review process, such as the environmental impact statement scoping
process, if applicable.
The plan must include, but is not limited to, a description of
what the owner/operator will do to reduce or prevent any probable significant
impacts before they occur, to mitigate such impacts should they occur, and to
ensure the owner/operator has and will have the financial capability to
implement such preventative and mitigative measures. Mitigation measures may
include, as an element, financial compensation to adversely affected
parties.
This plan may be submitted with environmental reports the
department requires for compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act,
with the written citizen proponent negotiation report and agreements, or with
the Part B permit application. If the plan does not demonstrate that the owner/
operator is capable of adequately mitigating the identified probable
significant adverse economic impacts, the department will require modification
of the plan or of the proposed facility location, or will deny the permit
application. The department must be satisfied with the plan prior to the
issuance of the permit.
