finds that the petroleum-contaminated soils are of a limited volume, the
management event is likely to be a nonrecurring event, and the operator
demonstrates that the management can occur in a manner that is protective of
the public health and safety.
(b)
Location
standards: All facilities which transfer, treat and store
petroleum-contaminated soils shall be located in accordance with the following

(iii) Facilities shall not be located in an
area which is not approved by the governing fire marshall;
(iv) The administrator may authorize any
existing solid waste management facility which does not conform with the
location requirements of this subsection to manage petroleum-contaminated
soils, provided the operator demonstrates that the facility design and
construction, operating procedures, monitoring procedures and closure
procedures are protective of human health and the environment;
(c)
Design &
construction standards: All facilities which transfer, treat and
store petroleum-contaminated soils shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the following standards, as well as any other applicable
facility design and construction standards:
(i) Solid waste management units shall be
constructed in an area of the facility which is physicallyisolated from other
areas of the facility which are frequented by the general public;
(ii) Solid waste management units shall be
designed and constructed to prevent the migration of contaminants to other
soils, ground water and surface water;
(iii) Each point of access and the perimeter
of all solid waste management units shall be identified by a sign which shall
be easily readable, maintained in good condition, and contain, at a minimum,
the following wording:
RESERVED FOR PETROLEUM-CONTAMINATED SOILS
NO SMOKING
This specific standard does not apply to private industrial

nutrient concentrations and soil texture;
(C) Copies of any analytical testing done to
evaluate progress toward or attainment of petroleum-contaminated soil
management objectives;
