    Adopted Rule. Final Order.
     
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M.E. Tristano):
     
    The Board adopts amendments to the Illinois regulations that are “identical in substance”
    to cover hazardous waste rules adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
    (USEPA) under its authority under Subtitle C of the federal Resource Conservation and
    Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA Subtitle C) (42 U.S.C. §§ 6921
    et seq
    . (2000)). Sections 7.2 and
    22.4(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 22.4(a) (2000)) require
    the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance” to hazardous waste regulations
    adopted by USEPA to implement RCRA Subtitle C. The Board adopts this order that includes
    federal RCRA Subtitle C amendments that USEPA adopted in the period January 1, 2002
    through June 30, 2002.
     
    Sections 7.2 and 22.4(a) provide for quick adoption of regulations that are identical in
    substance to federal regulations that USEPA adopts to implement Sections 3001 through 3005 of
    RCRA (42 U.S.C. §§ 6921-6925 (2000)). Section 22.4(a) also provides that Title VII of the Act
    and Section 5 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-35 and 5-40 (2000)) do
    not apply to the Board’s adoption of identical-in-substance regulations. The federal RCRA
    Subtitle C regulations are found at 40 C.F.R. 260 through 266, 268, 270, 271, 273, and 279.
     
    This order is supported by an opinion that the Board also adopts today. The Board will
    cause the proposed amendments to be published in the
    Illinois Register
    and will hold the docket
    open to receive public comments for 45 days after the date of publication.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on January 9, 2003, by a vote of 5-0.

    SUBPART C: AUTHORIZATION BY RULE AND INTERIM STATUS
     
    Section 703.140 Purpose and Scope
     
    a) The Sections of this Subpart C are divided into the following two groups:
     
    1) Section 703.141, Permits by Rule; and
     
    2) Sections 703.151 through 703.158, relating to interim status;
     
    b) The interim status rules correspond to 40 CFR 270, Subpart G, which relates to
    interim status. Other portions of the federal rules may be found in 703.Subpart B
    of this Part. The intent is to group the interim status rules so they can be more
    easily ignored by those to whom they do not apply, and so they can be
    conveniently repealed after the interim status period.

    Section 703.153 Qualifying for Interim Status
     
    a) Any person who owns or operates an existing HWM facility or a facility in
    existence on the effective date of statutory or regulatory amendments which that
    render the facility subject to the requirement to have a RCRA permit shall must

     
     
    18
    have interim status and shall must be treated as having been issued a permit to the
    extent he or she has:
     
    1) Complied with the requirements of Section 3010(a) of the federal
    Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 USC 6930(a)) pertaining to
    notification of hazardous waste activity;
     
    (Board Note: BOARD NOTE: Some existing facilities may not be
    required to file a notification under Section 3010(a) of the federal
    Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 USC 6930(a)). These
    facilities may qualify for interim status by meeting subsection (a)(2).)
     
    2) Complied with the requirements of Sections 703.150 and 703.152
    governing submission of Part A applications;
     
    b) Failure to qualify for interim status. If the Agency has reason to believe upon
    examination of a Part A application that it fails to meet the requirements of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 702.123 or 703.181, it shall must notify the owner or operator in
    writing of the apparent deficiency. Such notice shall must specify the grounds for
    the Agency’s belief that the application is deficient. The owner or operator shall
    must have 30 days from receipt to respond to such a notification and to explain or
    cure the alleged deficiency in its Part A application. If, after such notification and
    opportunity for response, the Agency determines that the application is deficient it
    may take appropriate enforcement action.
     
    c) Subsection (a) shall must not apply to any facility which that has been previously
    denied a RCRA permit or if authority to operate the facility under the federal
    Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 USC 6901 et seq.) has been
    previously terminated.

    Section 703.155 Changes During Interim Status
     
    a) Except as provided in subsection (b), below, of this Section the owner or operator
    of an interim status facility may make the following changes at the facility:
     
    1) Treatment, storage, or disposal of new hazardous wastes not previously
    identified in Part A of the permit application (and, in the case of newly
    listed or identified wastes, addition of the units being used to treat, store,
    or dispose of the hazardous wastes on the date of the listing or
    identification) if the owner or operator submits a revised Part A permit
    application prior to such treatment, storage, or disposal;
     
    2) Increases in the design capacity of processes used at the facility if the
    owner or operator submits a revised Part A permit application prior to
    such a change (along with a justification explaining the need for the
    change) and the Agency approves the change because either of the
    following conditions exist:
     
    A) There is a lack of available treatment, storage, or disposal capacity
    at other hazardous waste management facilities; or
     
    B) The change is necessary to comply with a federal, State, or local
    requirement, including 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725, 728, or 729;
     
    3) Changes in the processes for the treatment, storage, or disposal of
    hazardous waste may be made at a facility or addition of processes if the
    owner or operator submits a revised Part A permit application prior to
    such a change (along with a justification explaining the need for change)
    and the Agency approves the change because either of the following
    conditions exist:

     
     
    20
     
    A) The change is necessary to prevent a threat to human health or the
    environment because of an emergency situation; or
     
    B) The change is necessary to comply with a federal, State, or local
    requirement, including 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725, 728, or 729;
     
    4) Changes in the ownership or operational control of a facility if the new
    owner or operator submits a revised Part A permit application no later
    than 90 days prior to the scheduled change. When a transfer of ownership
    or operational control of a facility occurs, the old owner or operator shall
    must comply with the requirements of Subpart H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725.Subpart H (financial requirements), until the new owner or operator
    has demonstrated to the Agency that it is complying with the requirements
    of that Subpart. The new owner or operator shall must demonstrate
    compliance with the financial assurance requirements within six months
    after the date of the change in the ownership or operational control of the
    facility. Upon demonstration to the Agency by the new owner or operator
    of compliance with the financial assurance requirements, the Agency shall
    must notify the old owner or operator in writing that the old owner or
    operator no longer needs to comply with Subpart H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725.Subpart H as of the date of demonstration. All other interim status
    duties are transferred effective immediately upon the date of the change of
    ownership or operational control of the facility;
     
    5) Changes made in accordance with an interim status corrective action order
    issued by: USEPA under Section 3008(h) of the federal Resource
    Conservation and Recovery Act (42 USC 6901 et seq.) or other federal
    authority; a court pursuant to a judicial action brought USEPA; a court
    pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act; or, the Board. Changes
    under this subsection (a)(5) are limited to the treatment, storage, or
    disposal of solid waste from releases that originate within the boundary of
    the facility;
     
    6) Addition of newly regulated units for the treatment, storage, or disposal of
    hazardous waste if the owner or operator submits a revised Part A permit
    application on or before the date on which the unit becomes subject to the
    new requirements.
     
    b) Except as specifically allowed under this subsection (b), changes listed under
    subsection (a), above, of this Section must not be made if they amount to
    reconstruction of the HWM facility. Reconstruction occurs when the capital
    investment in the changes to the facility exceeds fifty percent of the capital cost of

     
     
    21
    a comparable entirely new HWM facility. If all other requirements are met, the
    following changes may be made even if they amount to a reconstruction:
     
    1) Changes made solely for the purpose of complying with requirements of
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.293 for tanks and ancillary equipment.
     
    2) If necessary to comply with federal, State or local requirements, including
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 725, 728, or 729, changes to an existing unit, changes
    solely involving tanks or containers, or addition of replacement surface
    impoundments that satisfy the statutory standards of Section 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 728.139.
     
    3) Changes that are necessary to allow owners or operators an owner or
    operator to continue handling newly listed or identified hazardous wastes
    that have been treated, stored or disposed of at the facility prior to the
    effective date of the rule establishing the new listing or identification.
     
    4) Changes during closure of a facility or of a unit within a facility made in
    accordance with an approved closure plan.
     
    5) Changes necessary to comply with an interim status corrective action
    order issued by: USEPA under Section 3008(h) of the federal Resource
    Conservation and Recovery Act (42 USC 6930(a)) or other federal
    authority; a court pursuant to a judicial action brought by USEPA; a court
    pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act; or, the Board. Changes
    under this subsection (b)(5) are limited to the treatment, storage, or
    disposal of solid waste from releases that originate within the boundary of
    the facility.
     
    6) Changes to treat or store, in tanks, containers, or containment buildings,
    hazardous wastes subject to land disposal restrictions imposed in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 728, provided that such changes are made solely for the
    purpose of complying with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.
     
    7) Addition of newly regulated units under subsection (a)(6), above of this
    Section.
     
    8) Changes necessary to comply with the federal Clean Air Act (CAA)

    Section 703.159 Closure by Removal
     
    Owners and operators An owner or operator of a surface impoundments impoundment, a land
    treatment units unit, and or a waste piles pile that is closing by removal or decontamination
    under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 standards must obtain a post-closure permit, unless they
    demonstrate it demonstrates to the Agency that the closure met the standards for closure by
    removal or decontamination in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.328, 724.380(e), or 724.358, respectively.
    The demonstration may be made in the following ways:
     
    a) If the owner or operator has submitted a Part B application for a post-closure
    permit, the owner or operator may request a determination, based on information
    contained in the application, that 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 closure by removal
    standards are met. If the Agency makes a tentative decision that the 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 724 standards are met, the Agency will notify the public of this proposed
    decision, allow for public comment and reach a final determination according to
    the procedures in Section 703.160.
     
    b) If the owner or operator has not submitted a Part B application for a post-closure
    permit, the owner or operator may petition the Agency for a determination that a
    post-closure permit is not required because the closure met the applicable 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 724 standards.
     
    1) The petition must include data demonstrating that closure by removal or
    decontamination standards were met.
     
    2) The Agency shall must approve or deny the petition according to the
    procedures outlined in Section 703.160.

    Section 703.160 Procedures for Closure Determination
     
    a) If a facility owner or operator seeks an equivalency determination under Section
    703.159, the Agency shall must provide the public, through a newspaper notice,
    the opportunity to submit written comments on the information submitted by the
    owner or operator within 30 days from the date of the notice. The Agency shall
    must also, in response to a request or at its own discretion, hold a public hearing
    whenever such a hearing might clarify one or more issues concerning the
    equivalence of the 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 closure to a 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724
    closure. The Agency shall must give public notice of the hearing at least 30 days
    before it occurs. (Public notice of the hearing may be given at the same time as
    notice of the opportunity for the public to submit written comments, and the two
    notices may be combined.)
     
    b) The Agency shall must determine whether the 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 closure met
    the 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 closure by removal or decontamination requirements
    within 90 days after receipt of the request or petition. If the Agency finds that the
    closure did not meet the applicable 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 standards, it shall must
    provide the owner or operator with a written statement of the reasons why the
    closure failed to meet 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 standards. The owner or operator
    may submit additional information in support of an equivalency demonstration
    within 30 days after receiving such written statement. The Agency shall must
    review any additional information submitted and make a final determination
    within 60 days.
     
    c) If the Agency determines that the facility did not close in accordance with 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 724 closure by removal standards, the facility is subject to post-
    closure permitting requirements.

    Section 703.184 Facility Location Information
     
    a) In order to show compliance with the facility location requirements of Section
    21(l) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/21(l)], the owner or
    operator shall must include the following information, or a demonstration that
    Section 21(l) does not apply:
     
    1) Location of any active or inactive shaft or tunneled mine below the
    facility;
     
    2) Location of any active faults in the earth’s crust within 2 two miles of the
    facility boundary;
     
    3) Location of existing private wells or existing sources of a public water
    supply within 1000 feet of any disposal unit boundary;
     

     
     
    34
    4) Location of the corporate boundaries of any municipalities within one and
    one-half miles of the facility boundary;
     
    BOARD NOTE: Subsections (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), and (a)(4) above of this
    Section request information necessary to allow the Agency to determine
    the applicability of Section 21(l) of the Environmental Protection Act [415
    ILCS 5/21(l)] requirements. These provisions are not intended to modify
    the requirements of the Act. For example, the operator is required to give
    the location of wells on its own property, even though the Agency might
    find that these do not prohibit the site location.
     
    5) Documentation showing approval of municipalities if such approval is
    required by Section 21(l) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS
    5/21(l)];
     
    c) Owners and operators An owner or operator of all facilities shall must provide an
    identification of whether the facility is located within a 100-year floodplain. This
    identification must indicate the source of data for such determination and include
    a copy of the relevant flood map produced by the Federal Emergency
    Management Agency, National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), if used, or the
    calculations and maps used where a NFIP map is not available. Information must
    also be provided identifying the 100-year flood level and any other special
    flooding factors (e.g., wave action) that must be considered in designing,
    constructing, operating, or maintaining the facility to withstand washout from a
    100-year flood;
     
    BOARD NOTE: NFIP maps are available as follows: Flood Map Distribution
    Center, National Flood Insurance Program, Federal Emergency Management
    Agency, 6930 (A-F) San Tomas Road, Baltimore, MD 21227-6227. 800/-638-
    6620; and, Illinois Floodplain Information Depository, State Water Survey, 514
    WSRC, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801. 217/-333-0447. Where NFIP
    maps are available, they will normally be determinative of whether a facility is
    located within or outside of the 100-year flood plain. However, where the NFIP
    map excludes an area (usually areas of the flood plain less than 200 feet in width),
    these areas must be considered and a determination made as to whether they are
    in the 100-year floodplain. Where NFIP maps are not available for a proposed
    facility location, the owner or operator shall must use equivalent mapping

     
     
    35
    techniques to determine whether the facility is within the 100-year floodplain, and
    if so located, what is the 100-year flood elevation is.
     
    d) Owners and operators An owner or operator of facilities located in the 100-year

    1) The first phase of the permit becomes effective as provided in 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 705.201(d);
     
    2) The second phase of the permit becomes effective as provided in
    subsection (d) of this Section;
     
    c) When the owner or operator who has been issued a two-phase permit has
    completed the treatment demonstration, it shall must submit to the Agency a
    certification, signed by a person authorized to sign a permit application or report
    under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.126, that the field tests or laboratory analyses have
    been carried out in accordance with the conditions specified in phase one of the

     
     
    94
    permit for conducting such tests or analyses. The owner or operator shall must
    also submit all data collected during the field tests or laboratory analyses within
    90 days of completion of those tests or analyses, unless the Agency approves a
    later date;
     
    d) If the Agency determines that the results of the field tests or laboratory analyses
    meet the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.372, it shall must modify the
    second phase of the permit to incorporate any requirements necessary for
    operation of the facility in compliance with Subpart M of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    724.Subpart M, based upon the results of the field tests or laboratory analyses.
     
    1) This permit modification may proceed as a minor modification under
    Section 703.280, or otherwise must proceed as a modification under
    Section 703.271(b). If such modifications are necessary, the second phase
    of the permit becomes effective only after those modifications have been
    made.
     
    2) If no modifications of the second phase of the permit are necessary, or if
    only minor modifications are necessary and have been made, the Agency
    shall must give notice of its final decision to the permit applicant and to
    each person who submitted written comments on the phased permit or
    who requested notice of final decision on the second phase of the permit.
    The second phase of the permit then becomes effective as specified in 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 705.201(d).

    Section 703.270 Modification
     
    When the Agency receives any information (for example, inspects the facility, receives
    information submitted by the permittee as required in the permit (See see 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    702.140 through 702.152 and Section 703.241 et seq.), receives a request for reissuance under 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 705.128 or conducts a review of the permit file) it may determine whether or not
    one or more of the causes, listed in Sections 703.271 or 703.272, for modification, reissuance or
    both, exist. If cause exists, the Agency shall must modify or reissue the permit accordingly,
    subject to the limitations of Section 703.273, and may request an updated application if
    necessary. When a permit is modified, only the conditions subject to modification are reopened.
    If a permit is reissued, the entire permit is reopened and subject to revision and the permit is
    reissued for a new term. (See see 35 Ill. Adm. Code 705.128(c)(2)) If cause does not exist under
    Section 703.271 or 703.272, the Agency shall must not modify or reissue the permit, except on
    the request of the permittee. If a permit modification is requested by the permittee, the Agency

    Section 703.271 Causes for Modification
     
    The following are cause for modification, but not reissuance, of permits; the following are cause
    for reissuance as well as modification when the permittee requests or agrees:
     
    a) Alterations. There are material and substantial alterations or additions to the
    permitted facility or activity which that occurred after permit issuance which
    justify the application of permit conditions that are different or absent in the
    existing permit.
     

     
     
    110
    b) Information. The Agency has received information. Permits will be modified
    during their terms for this cause only if the information was not available at the
    time of permit issuance (other than revised regulations, guidance, or test methods)
    and would have justified the application of different permit conditions at the time
    of issuance.
     
    c) New statutory requirements or regulations. The standards or regulations on which
    the permit was based have been changed by statute, through promulgation of new
    or amended standards or regulations, or by judicial decision after the permit was
    issued.
     
    d) Compliance schedules. The Agency determines good cause exists for
    modification of a compliance schedule, such as an act of God, strike, flood, or
    materials shortage, or other events over which the permittee has little or no
    control and for which there is no reasonably available remedy.
     
    e) The Agency shall must also modify a permit as follows:
     
    1) When modification of a closure plan is required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    724.212(b) or 724.218(b).
     
    2) After the Agency receives the notification of expected closure under 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 724.213, when the Agency determines that extension of
    the 90 or 180 day periods under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.213, modification
    of the 30-year post-closure period under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.217(a),
    continuation of security requirements under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.217(b),
    or permission to disturb the integrity of the containment system under 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 724.217(c) are unwarranted.
     
    3) When the permittee has filed a request under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    724.247(c) for a modification to the level of financial responsibility or
    when the Agency demonstrates under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.247(d) that
    an upward adjustment of the level of financial responsibility is required.
     
    4) When the corrective action program specified in the permit under 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 724.200 has not brought the regulated unit into compliance

     
     
    111
    with the groundwater protection standard within a reasonable period of
    time.
     
    5) To include a detection monitoring program meeting the requirements of
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.198, when the owner or operator has been
    conducting a compliance monitoring program under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    724.199 or a corrective action program under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.200,
    and the compliance period ends before the end of the post-closure care
    period for the unit.
     
    6) When a permit requires a compliance monitoring program under 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 724.199, but monitoring data collected prior to permit
    issuance indicate that the facility is exceeding the groundwater protection
    standard.
     
    7) To include conditions applicable to units at a facility that were not
    previously included in the facility’s permit.
     
    8) When a land treatment unit is not achieving complete treatment of
    hazardous constituents under its current permit conditions.
     
    f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, when a permit for a land
    disposal facility is reviewed under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.161(d), the Agency
    shall must modify the permit as necessary to assure that the facility continues to
    comply with the currently applicable requirements in this Part and 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 702 and 720 through 726.

    Section 703.273 Facility Siting
     
    Suitability of the facility location will not be considered at the time of permit modification or
    reissuance unless new information or standards indicate that a threat to human health or the
    environment exists which was unknown at the time of permit issuance or unless required under

     
     
    112
    the Environmental Protection Act. However, certain modifications require site location
    suitability approval pursuant to Section 39.2 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS
    5/39.2].

    Section 703.280 Permit Modification at the Request of the Permittee
     
    a) Class 1 modifications. See Section 703.281.
     
    b) Class 2 modifications. See Section 703.282.
     
    c) Class 3 modifications. See Section 703.283.
     
    d) Other modifications.
     
    1) In the case of modifications not explicitly listed in Appendix A, the
    permittee may submit a Class 3 modification request to the Agency, or the
    permittee may request a determination by the Agency that the
    modification be reviewed and approved as a Class 1 or Class 2
    modification. If the permittee requests that the modification be classified
    as a Class 1 or 2 modification, the permittee must provide the Agency
    with the necessary information to support the requested classification.
     
    2) The Agency must make the determination described in subsection (d)(1)
    of this Section as promptly as practicable. In determining the appropriate
    class for a specific modification, the Agency must consider the similarity
    of the modification to other modifications codified in Appendix A and the
    following criteria:
     
    A) Class 1 modifications apply to minor changes that keep the permit
    current with routine changes to the facility or its operation. These
    changes do not substantially alter the permit conditions or reduce
    the capacity of the facility to protect human health or the
    environment. In the case of Class 1 modifications, the Agency
    may require prior approval.
     
    B) Class 2 modifications apply to changes that are necessary to enable
    a permittee to respond, in a timely manner, to any of the following:

     
     
    113
     
    i) Common variations in the types and quantities of the
    wastes managed under the facility permit;
     
    ii) Technological advances; and
     
    iii) Changes necessary to comply with new regulations, where
    these changes can be implemented without substantially
    changing design specifications or management practices in
    the permit.
     
    C) Class 3 modifications substantially alter the facility or its
    operation.
     
    e) Temporary authorizations.
     
    1) Upon request of the permittee, the Agency must, without prior public
    notice and comment, grant the permittee a temporary authorization in
    accordance with this subsection. Temporary authorizations have a term of
    not more than 180 days.
     
    2) Procedures.
     
    A) The permittee may request a temporary authorization for the
    following:
     
    i) Any Class 2 modification meeting the criteria in subsection
    (e)(3)(B) of this Section; and
     
    ii) Any Class 3 modification that meets the criteria in
    subsection (e)(3)(B)(i) of this Section or that meets the
    criteria in subsections (e)(3)(B)(iii) through (e)(3)(B)(v) of
    this Section and provides improved management or
    treatment of a hazardous waste already listed in the facility
    permit.
     
    B) The temporary authorization request must include the following:
     
    i) A description of the activities to be conducted under the
    temporary authorization;
     
    ii) An explanation of why the temporary authorization is
    necessary; and
     

     
     
    114
    iii) Sufficient information to ensure compliance with 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 724 standards.
     
    C) The permittee must send a notice about the temporary
    authorization request to all persons on the facility mailing list
    maintained by the Agency and to appropriate units of State and
    local governments, as specified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    705.163(a)(5). This notification must be made within seven days
    after submission of the authorization request.
     
    3) The Agency must approve or deny the temporary authorization as quickly
    as practical. To issue a temporary authorization, the Agency must find as
    follows:
     
    A) That the authorized activities are in compliance with the standards
    of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.
     
    B) That the temporary authorization is necessary to achieve one of the
    following objectives before action is likely to be taken on a
    modification request:
     
    i) To facilitate timely implementation of closure or corrective
    action activities;
     
    ii) To allow treatment or storage in tanks, containers, or in
    containment buildings, in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 728;
     
    iii) To prevent disruption of ongoing waste management
    activities;
     
    iv) To enable the permittee to respond to sudden changes in
    the types or quantities of the wastes managed under the
    facility permit; or
     
    v) To facilitate other changes to protect human health and the
    environment.
     
    4) A temporary authorization must be reissued for one additional term of up
    to 180 days, provided that the permittee has requested a Class 2 or 3
    permit modification for the activity covered in the temporary
    authorization, and either of the following is true:
     

     
     
    115
    A) The reissued temporary authorization constitutes the Agency’s
    decision on a Class 2 permit modification in accordance with
    Section 703.282(f)(1)(D) or (f)(2)(D); or
     
    B) The Agency determines that the reissued temporary authorization
    involving a Class 3 permit modification request is warranted to
    allow the authorized activities to continue while the modification
    procedures of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.283 are conducted.
     
    f) Public notice and appeals of permit modification decisions.
     
    1) The Agency must notify persons on the facility mailing list and
    appropriate units of State and local government within 10 days after any
    decision to grant or deny a Class 2 or 3 permit modification request. The
    Agency must also notify such persons within 10 days after an automatic
    authorization for a Class 2 modification goes into effect under Section
    703.282(f)(3) or (f)(5).
     
    2) The Agency’s decision to grant or deny a Class 2 or 3 permit modification
    request may be appealed under the permit appeal procedures of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 705.212.
     
    3) An automatic authorization that goes into effect under Section
    703.282(f)(3) or (f)(5) may be appealed under the permit appeal
    procedures of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 705.212; however, the permittee may
    continue to conduct the activities pursuant to the automatic authorization
    until the Board enters a final order on the appeal notwithstanding the
    provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 705.204.
     
    g) Newly regulated wastes and units.
     
    1) The permittee is authorized to continue to manage wastes listed or
    identified as hazardous under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721, or to continue to
    manage hazardous waste in units newly regulated as hazardous waste
    management units, if each of the following is true:
     
    A) The unit was in existence as a hazardous waste facility with
    respect to the newly listed or characterized waste or newly
    regulated waste management unit on the effective date of the final
    rule listing or identifying the waste, or regulating the unit;
     
    B) The permittee submits a Class 1 modification request on or before
    the date on which the waste becomes subject to the new
    requirements;

     
     
    116
     
    C) The permittee is in compliance with the applicable standards of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 725 and 726;
     
    D) The permittee also submits a complete class 2 or 3 modification
    request within 180 days after the effective date of the rule listing or
    identifying the waste, or subjecting the unit to management
    standards under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724, 725, or 726; and
     
    E) In the case of land disposal units, the permittee certifies that such
    unit is in compliance with all applicable requirements of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 725 for groundwater monitoring and financial
    responsibility requirements on the date 12 months after the
    effective date of the rule identifying or listing the waste as
    hazardous, or regulating the unit as a hazardous waste management
    unit. If the owner or operator fails to certify compliance with all
    these requirements, the owner or operator loses authority to
    operate under this Section.
     
    2) New wastes or units added to a facility’s permit under this subsection (g)
    do not constitute expansions for the purpose of the 25 percent capacity
    expansion limit for Class 2 modifications.
     
    h) Military hazardous waste munitions treatment and disposal. The permittee is
    authorized to continue to accept waste military munitions notwithstanding any
    permit conditions barring the permittee from accepting off-site wastes, if each of
    the following is true:
     
    1) The facility was in existence as a hazardous waste facility and the facility
    was already permitted to handle the waste military munitions on the date
    when the waste military munitions became subject to hazardous waste
    regulatory requirements;
     
    2) On or before the date when the waste military munitions become subject
    to hazardous waste regulatory requirements, the permittee submits a Class
    1 modification request to remove or amend the permit provision restricting
    the receipt of off-site waste munitions; and
     
    3) The permittee submits a complete Class 2 modification request within 180
    days after the date when the waste military munitions became subject to
    hazardous waste regulatory requirements.
     

     
     
    117
    i) Permit modification list. The Agency must maintain a list of all approved permit
    modifications and must publish a notice once a year in a State-wide newspaper
    that an updated list is available for review.
     
    j) Combustion facility changes to meet federal 40 CFR 63 MACT standards. The
    following procedures apply to hazardous waste combustion facility permit
    modifications requested under Section 703.Appendix A, paragraph L(9) of this
    Part.
     
    1) Facility
    A facility owners owner or operators operator must have complied
    with the federal notification of intent to comply (NIC) requirements of 40
    CFR 63.1210 that was in effect prior to May 14, 2001 October 11, 2000,
    (see 40 CFR 63 (2000)) in order to request a permit modification under
    this Section.
     
    2) If the Agency does not act to either approve or deny the request within 90
    days of receiving it, the request must be deemed approved. The Agency
    may, at its discretion, extend this 90-day deadline one time for up to 30
    days by notifying the facility owner or operator in writing before the 90
    days has expired.

    Agency approves the request.
     
    3) Any person may request the Agency to review, and the Agency shall must
    for cause reject, any Class 1 modification. The Agency shall must inform
    the permittee by certified mail that a Class 1 modification has been
    rejected, explaining the reasons for the rejection. If a Class 1 modification
    has been rejected, the permittee shall must comply with the original permit
    conditions.
     
    b) Class 1 permit modifications identified in Appendix A by an asterisk shall must
    be made only with the prior written approval of the Agency.

    than 15 days before the close of the 60-day comment period. The meeting must
    be held in the County in which the permitted facility is located, unless it is
    impracticable to do so, in which case the hearing must be held in the vicinity of
    the facility.
     
    e) The public must be provided 60 days to comment on the modification request.
    The comment period begins on the date that the permittee publishes the notice in
    the local newspaper. Comments must be submitted to the Agency contact
    identified in the public notice.
     
    f) Agency decision.
     
    1) No later than 90 days after receipt of the notification request, the Agency
    shall must:
     
    A) Approve the modification request, with or without changes, and
    modify the permit accordingly;
     
    B) Deny the request;
     
    C) Determine that the modification request must follow the
    procedures in Section 703.283 for Class 3 modifications for either
    of the following reason reasons:
     
    i) There is significant public concern about the proposed
    modification; or
     
    ii) The complex nature of the change requires the more
    extensive procedures of Class 3.;
     

     
     
    121
    D) Approve the request, with or without changes, as a temporary
    authorization having a term of up to 180 days,; or
     
    E) Notify the permittee that the Agency will decide on the request
    within the next 30 days.
     
    2) If the Agency notifies the permittee of a 30-day extension for a decision,
    the Agency shall must, no later than 120 days after receipt of the
    modification request, do the following:
     
    A) Approve the modification request, with or without changes, and
    modify the permit accordingly;
     
    B) Deny the request;
     
    C) Determine that the modification request must follow the
    procedures in Section 703.283 for Class 3 modifications for the
    following reasons:
     
    i) There is significant public concern about the proposed
    modification; or
     
    ii) The complex nature of the change requires the more
    extensive procedures of Class 3.; or

    request, the permittee is automatically authorized to conduct the activities
    described in the modification request for up to 180 days, without formal
    Agency action. The authorized activities must be conducted as described
    in the permit modification request and must be in compliance with all
    appropriate standards of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725. If the Agency approves,
    with or without changes, or denies the modification request during the
    term of the temporary or automatic authorization provided for in

     
     
    122
    subsections (f)(1), (f)(2), or (f)(3) of this Section, such action cancels the

    A) In the case of an automatic authorization under subsection (f)(3) of
    this Section, or a temporary authorization under subsection
    (f)(1)(D) or (f)(2)(D) of this Section, if the Agency has not made a
    final approval or denial of the modification request by the date 50
    days prior to the end of the temporary or automatic authorization,
    the permittee shall must, within seven days after that time, send a
    notification to persons on the facility mailing list, and make a
    reasonable effort to notify other persons who submitted written
    comments on the modification request, that informs them as
    follows:
     
    i) The
    That the permittee has been authorized temporarily to
    conduct the activities described in the permit modification
    request,; and
     
    ii) Unless
    That, unless the Agency acts to give final approval
    or denial of the request by the end of the authorization
    period, the permittee will receive authorization to conduct
    such activities for the life of the permit.
     
    B) If the owner or operator fails to notify the public by the date
    specified in subsection (f)(4)(A) of this Section, the effective date
    of the permanent authorization will be deferred until 50 days after
    the owner or operator notifies the public.
     
    5) Except as provided in subsection (f)(7) of this Section, if the Agency does
    not finally approve or deny a modification request before the end of the
    automatic or temporary authorization period or reclassify the modification
    as a Class 3 modification, the permittee is authorized to conduct the
    activities described in the permit modification request for the life of the
    permit unless modified later under Section 703.270 or Section 703.280.
    The activities authorized under this subsection must be conducted as

     
     
    123
    described in the permit modification request and must be in compliance
    with all appropriate standards of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.
     
    6) In making a decision to approve or deny a modification request, including
    a decision to issue a temporary authorization or to reclassify a
    modification as a Class 3, the Agency shall must consider all written
    comments submitted to the Agency during the public comment period and
    shall must respond in writing to all significant comments in the Agency’s
    decision.
     
    7) With the written consent of the permittee, the Agency may extend
    indefinitely or for a specified period the time periods for final approval or
    denial of a modification request or for reclassifying a modification as a
    Class 3.
     
    g) The Agency shall must deny or change the terms of a Class 2 permit modification
    request under subsection subsections (f)(1) through (f)(3) of this Section for the

    2) The requested modification does not comply with the appropriate
    requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 or other applicable requirements;
    or
     
    3) The conditions of the modification fail to protect human health and the
    environment.
     
    h) The permittee may perform any construction associated with a Class 2 permit
    modification request beginning 60 days after the submission of the request unless
    the Agency establishes a later date for commencing construction and informs the
    permittee in writing before day 60.

    SUBPART H: REMEDIAL ACTION PLANS
     
    Section 703.300 Why This Subpart Is Written in a Special Regulatory Format
     
    USEPA wrote the federal counterpart to this Subpart H, 40 CFR 270, Subpart H, in a special format
    to make it easier to understand the regulatory requirements. The Board has adapted the substance
    of the corresponding federal regulations in this Subpart H to use essentially the same a more

     
     
    126
    conventional regulatory format, rather than the question-and-answer format used by USEPA. Like
    all other regulations, this Subpart establishes enforceable legal requirements.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived from 40 CFR 270.79, added at 63 Fed. Reg. 65941 (Nov. 30, 1998)
    (2002).
     
    (Source: Amended at 27 Ill. Reg. ________, effective ____________________)
     
    Section 703.301 General Information
     
    a) What is
    Definition of a RAP?.
     
    1) A RAP is a special form of RCRA permit that an owner or operator may
    obtain, instead of a permit issued under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702 and this Part,
    to authorize the owner or operator to treat, store, or dispose of hazardous
    remediation waste (as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110) at a
    remediation waste management site. A RAP may only be issued for the area
    of contamination where the remediation wastes to be managed under the
    RAP originated, or areas in close proximity to the contaminated area, except
    as allowed in limited circumstances under Section 703.306.
     
    2) The requirements in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702 and this Part do not apply to
    RAPs unless those requirements for traditional RCRA permits are
    specifically required under this Subpart H. The definitions in 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 702.110 apply to RAPs.
     
    3) Notwithstanding any other provision of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702 or this Part,
    any document that meets the requirements in this Section constitutes a
    RCRA permit, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.110.
     
    4) A RAP may be either of the following:
     
    A) A stand-alone document that includes only the information and
    conditions required by this Subpart H; or
     
    B) A part (or parts) of another document that includes information or
    conditions for other activities at the remediation waste management
    site, in addition to the information and conditions required by this
    Subpart H.
     
    5) If an owner or operator is treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous
    remediation wastes as part of a cleanup compelled by authorities issued by
    USEPA or the State of Illinois, a RAP does not affect the obligations under
    those authorities in any way.

     
     
    127
     
    6) If an owner or operator receives a RAP at a facility operating under interim
    status, the RAP does not terminate the facility’s interim status.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (a) is derived from 40 CFR 270.80 (1999)
    (2002).
     
    b) When does
    an owner or operator need needs a RAP?.
     
    1) Whenever an owner or operator treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous
    remediation wastes in a manner that requires a RCRA permit under Section
    703.121, an owner or operator shall must obtain either of the following:
     
    A) A RCRA permit according to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702 and this Part; or
     
    B) A RAP according to this Subpart H.
     
    2) Treatment units that use combustion of hazardous remediation wastes at a
    remediation waste management site are not eligible for RAPs under this
    Subpart H.
     
    3) An owner or operator may obtain a RAP for managing hazardous
    remediation waste at an already permitted RCRA facility. An owner or
    operator shall must have the RAP approved as a modification to the owner’s
    or operator’s existing permit according to the requirements of Sections
    703.270 through 703.273 or Sections 703.280 through 703.283 instead of
    the requirements in this Subpart H. However, when an owner or operator
    submits an application for such a modification, the information requirements
    in Sections 703.281(a)(1), 703.282(a)(4), and 703.283(a)(4) do not apply.
    Instead, an owner or operator shall must submit the information required
    under Section 703.302(d). When the owner’s or operator’s RCRA permit is
    modified, the RAP becomes part of the RCRA permit. Therefore, when the
    owner’s or operator’s RCRA permit (including the RAP portion) is
    modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated, or when it expires, the permit
    will be modified, according to the applicable requirements in Sections
    703.270 through 703.273 or 703.280 through 703.283, it will be revoked
    and reissued, according to the applicable requirements in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    702.186 and Sections 703.270 through 703.273, or it will be terminated,
    according to the applicable requirements in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.186, or
    the permit will expire, according to the applicable requirements in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 702.125 and 702.161.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (b) is derived from 40 CFR 270.85 (1999)
    (2002).

     
     
    128
     
    c) Does a RAP grant an owner or operator any rights or relieve it of any obligations?
    The provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.181 apply to RAPs.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (c) is derived from 40 CFR 270.90 (1999)
    (2002). The corresponding federal provision includes an explanation that 40 CFR
    270.4 provides that compliance with a permit constitutes compliance with RCRA.
    This is contrary to Illinois law, under which compliance with a permit does not
    constitute an absolute defense to a charge of violation of a substantive standard
    other than a failure to operate in accordance with the terms of a permit. See 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 702.181(a) and accompanying Board Note.

    b) Who
    The person who must obtain a RAP?. When a facility or remediation waste
    management site is owned by one person, but the treatment, storage, or disposal
    activities are operated by another person, it is the operator’s duty to obtain a RAP,
    except that the owner shall must also sign the RAP application.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (b) is derived from 40 CFR 270.100, added at
    63 Fed. Reg. 65942 (Nov. 30, 1998) (2002).
     
    c) Who
    The person who must sign the application and any required reports for a
    RAP?. Both the owner and the operator shall must sign the RAP application and
    any required reports according to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.126(a), (b), and (c). In the
    application, both the owner and the operator shall must also make the certification
    required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.126(d)(1). However, the owner may choose
    the alternative certification under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.126(d)(2) if the operator
    certifies under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.126(d)(1).

    as applicable;
     
    7) Enough information to demonstrate that operations that follow the
    provisions in the owner’s or operator’s RAP application will ensure

     
     
    130
    compliance with applicable requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724, 726,
    and 728;
     
    8) Such information as may be necessary to enable the Agency to carry out its
    duties under other federal laws as is required for traditional RCRA permits
    under Section 703.183(t);
     
    9) Any other information the Agency decides is necessary for demonstrating
    compliance with this Subpart H or for determining any additional RAP
    conditions that are necessary to protect human health and the environment.

    operator submits its RAP application or other submissions by stamping the words
    “trade secret” in red ink, as provided in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 120.305. If an owner or
    operator asserts a claim in compliance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 120.201 at the time it
    submits the information, the Agency shall must treat the information according to
    the procedures in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 120. If an owner or operator does not assert a
    claim at the time it submits the information, the Agency shall must make the
    information available to the public without further notice to the owner or operator.
    The Agency must deny any requests for confidentiality of an owner’s or operator’s
    name or address.

    a) What is the The process for approving or denying an application for a RAP?.
     
    1) If the Agency tentatively finds that an owner’s or operator’s RAP
    application includes all of the information required by Section 703.302(d)
    and that the proposed remediation waste management activities meet the
    regulatory standards, the Agency shall must make a tentative decision to
    approve the RAP application. The Agency shall must then prepare a draft
    RAP and provide an opportunity for public comment before making a final
    decision on the RAP application, according to this Subpart H.
     
    2) If the Agency tentatively finds that the owner’s or operator’s RAP
    application does not include all of the information required by Section
    703.302(d) or that the proposed remediation waste management activities
    do not meet the regulatory standards, the Agency may request additional
    information from an owner or operator or ask an owner or operator to
    correct deficiencies in the owner’s or operator’s application. If an owner or
    operator fails or refuses to provide any additional information the Agency
    requests, or to correct any deficiencies in its RAP application, the Agency
    may either make a tentative decision to deny that owner’s or operator’s RAP
    application or to approve that application with certain changes, as allowed
    under Section 39 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/39]. After making this tentative
    decision, the Agency shall must prepare a notice of intent to deny the RAP
    application (“notice of intent to deny”) or to approve that application with
    certain changes and provide an opportunity for public comment before
    making a final decision on the RAP application, according to the
    requirements in this Subpart H.

    2) The following terms and conditions:
     

     
     
    132
    A) Terms and conditions necessary to ensure that the operating
    requirements specified in the RAP comply with applicable
    requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724, 726, and 728 (including any
    recordkeeping and reporting requirements). In satisfying this
    provision, the Agency may incorporate, expressly or by reference,
    applicable requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724, 726, and 728 into
    the RAP or establish site-specific conditions, as required or allowed
    by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724, 726, and 728;
     
    B) The terms and conditions in Subpart F of this Part;
     
    C) The terms and conditions for modifying, revoking and reissuing, and
    terminating the RAP, as provided in Section 703.304(a); and

    conditions of the draft RAP and the reasons for them, or the rationale for the
    notice of intent to deny;
     
    2) Compile an administrative record, including the following information:
     
    A) The RAP application, and any supporting data furnished by the
    applicant;
     
    B) The draft RAP or notice of intent to deny;

    any other procedures by which the public may participate in the
    RAP decision;
     
    F) If a hearing is scheduled, the date, time, location, and purpose of the
    hearing;
     
    G) If a hearing is not scheduled, a statement of procedures to request a
    hearing;
     
    H) The location of the administrative record, and times when it will be
    open for public inspection; and
     
    I) Any additional information that the Agency considers necessary or
    proper.
     
    4) If, within the comment period, the Agency receives written notice of
    opposition to its intention to approve or deny the owner’s or operator’s RAP
    application and a request for a hearing, the Agency shall must hold an
    informal public hearing to discuss issues relating to the approval or denial of
    the owner’s or operator’s RAP application. The Agency may also
    determine on its own initiative that an informal hearing is appropriate. The
    hearing must include an opportunity for any person to present written or oral
    comments. Whenever possible, the Agency shall must schedule this hearing
    at a location convenient to the nearest population center to the remediation
    waste management site and give notice according to the requirements in
    subsection (d)(1) of this Section. This notice must, at a minimum, include
    the information required by subsection (d)(3) of this Section and the
    following additional information:

    (2002).
     
    e) How must
    the Agency must make a final decision on a RAP application?.
     
    1) The Agency shall must consider and respond to any significant comments
    raised during the public comment period or during any hearing on the draft
    RAP or notice of intent to deny, and the Agency may revise the draft RAP
    based on those comments, as appropriate.
     
    2) If the Agency determines that the owner’s or operator’s RAP includes the
    information and terms and conditions required in subsection (b) of this
    Section, then it will issue a final decision approving the owner’s or
    operator’s RAP and, in writing, notify the owner or operator and all
    commenters on the owner’s or operator’s draft RAP that the RAP
    application has been approved.
     
    3) If the Agency determines that the owner’s or operator’s RAP does not
    include the information required in subsection (b) of this Section, then it will
    issue a final decision denying the RAP and, in writing, notify the owner or
    operator and all commenters on the owner’s or operator’s draft RAP that the
    RAP application has been denied.
     
    4) If the Agency’s final decision is that the tentative decision to deny the RAP
    application was incorrect, it shall must withdraw the notice of intent to deny
    and proceed to prepare a draft RAP, according to the requirements in this
    Subpart H.
     
    5) When the Agency issues its final RAP decision, it shall must refer to the
    procedures for appealing the decision under subsection (f) of this Section.
     
    6) Before issuing the final RAP decision, the Agency shall must compile an
    administrative record. Material readily available at the applicable Agency
    office or published materials that are generally available and which are
    included in the administrative record need not be physically included with
    the rest of the record, as long as it is specifically referred to in the statement
    of basis or the response to comments. The administrative record for the
    final RAP must include information in the administrative record for the draft
    RAP (see subsection (c)(2) of this Section) and the following items:

     
     
    136
     
    A) All comments received during the public comment period;
     
    B) Tapes or transcripts of any hearings;
     
    C) Any written materials submitted at these hearings;
     
    D) The responses to comments;
     
    E) Any new material placed in the record since the draft RAP was
    issued;
     
    F) Any other documents supporting the RAP; and
     
    G) A copy of the final RAP.
     
    7) The Agency shall must make information contained in the administrative
    record available for review by the public upon request.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (e) is derived from 40 CFR 270.150 (1999)
    (2002).
     
    f) May the
    Administrative appeal of a decision to approve or deny a RAP application
    be administratively appealed?.
     
    1) Any commenter on the draft RAP or notice of intent to deny, or any
    participant in any public hearing on the draft RAP, may appeal the Agency’s
    decision to approve or deny the owner’s or operator’s RAP application to
    the Board under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 705.212. Any person that did not file
    comments, or did not participate in any public hearings on the draft RAP,
    may petition for administrative review only to the extent of the changes
    from the draft to the final RAP decision. Appeals of RAPs may be made to
    the same extent as for final permit decisions under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    705.201 (or a decision under Section 703.240 to deny a permit for the active
    life of a RCRA hazardous waste management facility or unit). Instead of the
    notice required under Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 705.Subpart D and
    705.212(c), the Agency shall must give public notice of any grant of review
    of a RAP through the same means used to provide notice under subsection
    (d) of this Section. The notice will include the following information:
     
    A) The public hearing and any briefing schedule for the appeal, as
    provided by the Board;
     

     
     
    137
    B) A statement that any interested person may participate in the public
    hearing or file public comments or an amicus brief with the Board;
    and
     
    C) The information specified in subsection (d)(3) of this Section, as
    appropriate.
     
    2) This appeal is a prerequisite to seeking judicial review of these Agency
    actions.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (f) is derived from 40 CFR 270.155 (1999)
    (2002).
     
    g) When does
    a RAP become becomes effective?. A RAP becomes effective 35 days
    after the Agency notifies the owner or operator and all commenters that the RAP is
    approved, unless any of the following is true:
     
    1) The Agency specifies a later effective date in its decision;
     
    2) An owner or operator or another person has appealed the RAP under
    subsection (f) of this Section (if the RAP is appealed, and the request for
    review is granted under subsection (f), conditions of the RAP are stayed
    according to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 705.202 through 705.204); or
     
    3) No commenters requested a change in the draft RAP, in which case the RAP
    becomes effective immediately when it is issued.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (g) is derived from 40 CFR 270.160 (1999)
    (2002). The corresponding federal provision provides that a RAP is effective 30
    days after the Agency notice of approval. The Board has used 35 days to be
    consistent with the 35 days within which a permit appeal must be filed under
    Section 40(a)(1) of the Act [415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1)].
     
    h) When may
    an owner or operator may begin physical construction of new units
    permitted under the RAP?. An owner or operator shall must not begin physical
    construction of new units permitted under the RAP for treating, storing, or
    disposing of hazardous remediation waste before receiving a final, effective RAP.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (h) is derived from 40 CFR 270.165 (1999)
    (2002).

    Section 703.304 How a RAP May Be Modified, Revoked and Reissued, or Terminated
     
    a) After a RAP is issued, how may it may be modified, revoked and reissued, or
    terminated?. In a RAP, the Agency shall must specify, either directly or by
    reference, procedures for any future modification, revocation and reissuance, or
    termination of the RAP. These procedures must provide adequate opportunities for
    public review and comment on any modification, revocation and reissuance, or
    termination that would significantly change the owner’s or operator’s management
    of its remediation waste, or that otherwise merits public review and comment. If the
    RAP has been incorporated into a traditional RCRA permit, as allowed under
    Section 703.301(b)(3), then the RAP will be modified according to the applicable
    requirements in Sections 703.260 through 703.283, revoked and reissued according
    to the applicable requirements in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.186 and Sections 703.270
    through 703.273, or terminated according to the applicable requirements of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 702.186.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (a) is derived from 40 CFR 270.170 (1999)
    (2002).
     
    b) For what reasons may Reasons for which the Agency may choose to modify a final
    RAP?.
     
    1) The Agency may modify the owner’s or operator’s final RAP on its own
    initiative only if one or more of the following reasons listed in this Section
    exist. If one or more of these reasons do not exist, then the Agency shall
    must not modify a final RAP, except at the request of the owner or operator.
    Reasons for modification are the following:
     
    A) The owner or operator made material and substantial alterations or
    additions to the activity that justify applying different conditions;
     
    B) The Agency finds new information that was not available at the time
    of RAP issuance and would have justified applying different RAP
    conditions at the time of issuance;
     
    C) The standards or regulations on which the RAP was based have
    changed because of new or amended statutes, standards, or
    regulations or by judicial decision after the RAP was issued;
     
    D) If the RAP includes any schedules of compliance, the Agency may
    find reasons to modify the owner’s or operator’s compliance
    schedule, such as an act of God, strike, flood, or materials shortage
    or other events over which an owner or operator has little or no
    control and for which there is no reasonably available remedy;

     
     
    139
     
    E) The owner or operator is not in compliance with conditions of its
    RAP;
     
    F) The owner or operator failed in the application or during the RAP
    issuance process to disclose fully all relevant facts, or an owner or
    operator misrepresented any relevant facts at the time;
     
    G) The Agency has determined that the activity authorized by the
    owner’s or operator’s RAP endangers human health or the
    environment and can only be remedied by modifying the RAP; or
     
    H) The owner or operator has notified the Agency (as required in the
    RAP and under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.152(c)) of a proposed
    transfer of a RAP.
     
    2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, when the Agency
    reviews a RAP for a land disposal facility under Section 703.304(f), it may
    modify the permit as necessary to assure that the facility continues to
    comply with the currently applicable requirements in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702,
    703, 705, and 720 through 726.
     
    3) The Agency shall must not reevaluate the suitability of the facility location
    at the time of RAP modification unless new information or standards
    indicate that a threat to human health or the environment exists that was
    unknown when the RAP was issued.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (b) is derived from 40 CFR 270.175 (1999)
    (2002).
     
    c) For what reasons may Reasons for which the Agency may choose to revoke and
    reissue a final RAP?.
     
    1) The Agency may revoke and reissue a final RAP on its own initiative only if
    one or more reasons for revocation and reissuance exist. If one or more
    reasons do not exist, then the Agency shall must not modify or revoke and
    reissue a final RAP, except at the owner’s or operator’s request. Reasons
    for modification or revocation and reissuance are the same as the reasons
    listed for RAP modifications in subsections (b)(1)(E) through (b)(1)(H) of
    this Section if the Agency determines that revocation and reissuance of the
    RAP is appropriate.
     
    2) The Agency shall must not reevaluate the suitability of the facility location
    at the time of RAP revocation and reissuance, unless new information or

     
     
    140
    standards indicate that a threat to human health or the environment exists
    that was unknown when the RAP was issued.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (c) is derived from 40 CFR 270.180 (1999)
    (2002).
     
    d) For what reasons may Reasons for which the Agency may choose to terminate a
    final RAP, or deny a renewal application?. The Agency may terminate a final RAP
    on its own initiative or deny a renewal application for the same reasons as those
    listed for RAP modifications in subsections (b)(1)(E) through (b)(1)(G) of this
    Section if the Agency determines that termination of the RAP or denial of the RAP
    renewal application is appropriate.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (d) is derived from 40 CFR 270.185 (1999)
    (2002).
     
    e) May the
    Administrative appeal of an Agency decision to approve or deny a
    modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination of a RAP be
    administratively appealed?.
     
    1) Any commenter on the modification, revocation and reissuance, or
    termination, or any person that participated in any hearing on these actions,
    may appeal the Agency’s decision to approve a modification, revocation and
    reissuance, or termination of a RAP, according to Section 703.303(f). Any
    person that did not file comments or did not participate in any public
    hearing on the modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination may
    petition for administrative review only of the changes from the draft to the
    final RAP decision.
     
    2) Any commenter on the modification, revocation and reissuance, or
    termination, or any person that participated in any hearing on these actions,
    may appeal the Agency’s decision to deny a request for modification,
    revocation and reissuance, or termination to the Board. Any person that did
    not file comments or which who did not participate in any public hearing on
    the modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination may petition for
    administrative review only of the changes from the draft to the final RAP
    decision.
     
    3) The procedure for appeals of RAPs is as follows:
     
    A) The person appealing the decision shall must send a petition to the
    Board pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101 and 105. The petition
    must briefly set forth the relevant facts, state the defect or fault that

     
     
    141
    serves as the basis for the appeal, and explain the basis for the
    petitioner’s legal standing to pursue the appeal.
     
    B) The Board has 120 days after receiving the petition to act on it.
     
    C) If the Board does not take action on the petition within 120 days
    after receiving it, the appeal shall must be considered denied.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Corresponding 40 CFR 270.190(c)(2) and (c)(3)
    (1999) (2002) allow 60 days for administrative review, which is too
    short a time for the Board to publish the appropriate notices, conduct
    public hearings, and conduct its review. Rather, the Board has
    borrowed the 120 days allowed as adequate time for Board review of
    permit appeals provided in Section 40(a)(2) of the Act [415 ILCS
    5/40(a)(2)].
     
    4) This appeal is a prerequisite to seeking judicial review of the Agency action
    on the RAP.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (e) is derived from 40 CFR 270.190 (1999)
    (2002). The corresponding federal provisions provide for informal appeal of an
    Agency RAP decision. There is no comparable informal procedure under Sections
    39 and 40 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/39 and 40].
     
    f) When will Expiration of a RAP expire?. RAPs must be issued for a fixed term, not
    to exceed 10 ten years, although they may be renewed upon approval by the Agency
    in fixed increments of no more than ten years. In addition, the Agency shall must
    review any RAP for hazardous waste land disposal five years after the date of
    issuance or reissuance and the owner or operator or the Agency shall must follow
    the requirements for modifying the RAP as necessary to assure that the owner or
    operator continues to comply with currently applicable requirements in the Act and
    federal RCRA sections 3004 and 3005 (42 USC 6904 and 6905).
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (f) is derived from 40 CFR 270.195 (1999)
    (2002).
     
    g) How may
    an owner or operator may renew a RAP that is expiring?. If an owner or
    operator wishes to renew an expiring RAP, the owner or operator shall must follow
    the process for application for and issuance of RAPs in this Subpart H.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (g) is derived from 40 CFR 270.200 (1999)
    (2002).
     

     
     
    142
    h) What happens if the owner or operator has applied correctly for a RAP renewal but
    has not received approval by the time its old RAP expires?. If the owner or operator
    has submitted a timely and complete application for a RAP renewal, but the
    Agency, through no fault of the owner or operator, has not issued a new RAP with
    an effective date on or before the expiration date of the previous RAP, the previous
    RAP conditions continue in force until the effective date of the new RAP or RAP
    denial.

    Section 703.305 Operating Under a RAP
     
    a) What records must The records an owner or operator must maintain concerning its
    RAP?. An owner or operator is required to keep records of the following:
     
    1) All data used to complete RAP applications and any supplemental
    information that an owner or operator submits for a period of at least three
    years from the date the application is signed; and
     
    2) Any operating or other records the Agency requires an owner or operator to
    maintain as a condition of the RAP.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (a) is derived from 40 CFR 270.210, added at
    63 Fed. Reg. 65945 (Nov. 30, 1998) (2002).
     
    b) How are
    time periods in the requirements in Subpart H of this Part and the RAP are
    computed?.
     
    1) Any time period scheduled to begin on the occurrence of an act or event
    must begin on the day after the act or event. (For example, if a RAP
    specifies that the owner or operator shall must close a staging pile within
    180 days after the operating term for that staging pile expires, and the
    operating term expires on June 1, then June 2 counts as day one of the 180
    days, and the owner or operator would have to complete closure by
    November 28.)
     
    2) Any time period scheduled to begin before the occurrence of an act or event
    must be computed so that the period ends on the day before the act or event.
    (For example, if an owner or operator is transferring ownership or
    operational control of its site, and the owner or operator wishes to transfer
    its RAP, the new owner or operator shall must submit a revised RAP

     
     
    143
    application no later than 90 days before the scheduled change. Therefore, if
    an owner or operator plans to change ownership on January 1, the new
    owner or operator shall must submit the revised RAP application no later
    than October 3, so that the 90th day would be December 31.)
     
    3) If the final day of any time period falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the
    time period must be extended to the next working day. (For example, if an
    owner or operator wishes to appeal the Agency’s decision to modify its
    RAP, then an owner or operator shall must petition the Board within 35 days
    after the Agency has issued the final RAP decision. If the 35th day falls on
    Sunday, then the owner or operator may submit its appeal by the Monday
    after. If the 35th day falls on July 4th, then the owner or operator may
    submit its appeal by July 5th.)
     
    4) Whenever a party or interested person has the right to or is required to act
    within a prescribed period after the service of notice or other paper upon
    him by mail, four days may not be added to the prescribed term. (For
    example, if an owner or operator wishes to appeal the Agency’s decision to
    modify its RAP, then the owner or operator shall must petition the Board
    within 35 days after the Agency has issued the final RAP decision.)
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived Subsection (b) is derived from 40 CFR 270.215, added at
    63 Fed. Reg. 65945 (Nov. 30, 1998) (2002). Federal subsections (c) and (d)
    provide that a RAP is effective 30 days after the Agency notice of approval. The
    Board has used 35 days to be consistent with the 35 days within which a permit
    appeal must be filed under Section 40(a)(1) of the Act [415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1)].
    Further, federal subsection (d) provides three days for completion of service by
    mail. The addition of four days (see procedural rule 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.144(c))
    to be consistent with 40 CFR 270.215(d) would exceed the 35 days allowed under
    Section 40(a)(1) of the Act [415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1)].
     
    c) How may
    an owner or operator may transfer its RAP to a new owner or operator?.
     
    1) If an owner or operator wishes to transfer its RAP to a new owner or
    operator, the owner or operator shall must follow the requirements specified
    in its RAP for RAP modification to identify the new owner or operator, and
    incorporate any other necessary requirements. These modifications do not
    constitute “significant” modifications for purposes of Section 703.304(a).
    The new owner or operator shall must submit a revised RAP application no
    later than 90 days before the scheduled change along with a written
    agreement containing a specific date for transfer of RAP responsibility
    between the owner or operator and the new permittees.
     

     
     
    144
    2) When a transfer of ownership or operational control occurs, the old owner
    or operator shall must comply with the applicable requirements in Subpart
    H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.Subpart H (Financial Requirements) until the
    new owner or operator has demonstrated that it is complying with the
    requirements in that Subpart. The new owner or operator shall must
    demonstrate compliance with Subpart H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.Subpart
    H within six months after the date of the change in ownership or operational
    control of the facility or remediation waste management site. When the new
    owner or operator demonstrates compliance with Subpart H of 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 724.Subpart H to the Agency, the Agency shall must notify the former
    owner or operator that it no longer needs to comply with Subpart H of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 724.Subpart H as of the date of demonstration.

    d) What must
    the Agency must report about noncompliance with RAPs?. The Agency
    shall must report noncompliance with RAPs according to the provisions of 40 CFR
    270.5, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.

    Section 703.306 Obtaining a RAP for an Off-Site Location
     
    May an An owner or operator may perform remediation waste management activities under a RAP
    at a location removed from the area where the remediation wastes originated?.
     
    a) An owner or operator may request a RAP for remediation waste management
    activities at a location removed from the area where the remediation wastes
    originated if the owner or operator believes such a location would be more
    protective than the contaminated area or areas in close proximity.
     
    b) If the Agency determines that an alternative location, removed from the area where
    the remediation waste originated, is more protective than managing remediation
    waste at the area of contamination or areas in close proximity, then the Agency shall
    must approve a RAP for this alternative location.

    submission of a new application.
     
    2) In a permit modification proceeding under this Section, only those conditions
    to be modified shall must be reopened when a new draft permit is prepared.
    When a permit is to be reissued under this Section, the entire permit is
    reopened just as if it had expired. During any modification reissuance
    proceeding, including any appeal to the Board, the permittee shall must
    comply with all conditions of its existing permit until a new final permit is
    reissued.
     
    3) “Minor modifications,”, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 704.264, and “Class

    Title VIII of the Environmental Protection Act and the procedure of 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 103. Revocation may only be sought for those reasons specified in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 702.186(a) through (d).

    could expedite the decisionmaking process.
     
    1) If the public comment period is reopened under this subsection (a), any
    person, including the applicant, who believes any condition of a draft
    permit is inappropriate or that the Agency’s tentative decision to deny an
    application or prepare a draft permit is inappropriate, must submit all
    reasonably available factual grounds supporting their position, including
    all supporting material, before a date, not less than 60 days after public
    notice given under subsection (a)(2) of this Section, set by the Agency.
    Thereafter, any person may file a written response to the material filed by
    any other person, by a date, not less than 20 days after the date set for
    filing of the material (as set forth in the preceding sentence), set by the
    Agency.
     

     
     
    184

    expedite the decisionmaking process. The notice of the draft permit must
    state whenever this has been done.
     
    4) A comment period of longer than 60 days may be necessary in
    complicated proceedings to give commenters a reasonable opportunity to

    a longer comment period, and one must be granted under Subpart D of this
    Part to the extent that the Agency determines that a longer comment
    period is necessary.

    3) Reopen
    It may reopen or extend the comment period to give interested
    persons an opportunity to comment on the information or arguments
    submitted.
     
    b)
    In the alternative, the Agency may reverse its tentative decision to prepare a draft
    permit or issue a notice of intent to deny pursuant to Section 705.141(b) or
    705.141(c).
     
    c)
    In the alternative, the Agency may revise the draft permit in response to comments
    and issue a final permit pursuant to Section 705.201.
     
    dc) Comments filed during the reopened comment period shall must be limited to the
    substantial new questions that caused its reopening. The public notice under
    705.Subpart D of this Part shall must define the scope of the reopening.

     
     
    185
     
    d) After an extended comment period, the Agency may undertake final action under

    Section 705.202 Stay upon Timely Application for Renewal of Permit Conditions upon
    Appeal
     
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.125 provides for continuation of expiring RCRA and UIC permits where a
    timely application has been filed. In such a case, the Board intends that the old permit should expire
    at the same time the new permit becomes effective unless the Board orders otherwise.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived in part from 40 CFR 124.16(a)(2) and (c)(2) (1993).
     
    An appeal pursuant to Section 705.212 has the following effect on permit conditions:
     
    a) If a timely application was filed for renewal of an existing permit, the existing permit
    and all its conditions continue to apply during the pendency of the appeal of the
    renewal permit application, unless the Board orders otherwise.
     
    b) If an application was filed for renewal of an existing permit after the expiration date
    of the existing permit, the effect of the new permit and all its conditions are stayed
    pending the outcome of the appeal, and the facility is without a permit during that
    time, unless the Board orders otherwise.
     
    c) If an application was filed for a permit for a new facility, the effect of the new permit
    and all its conditions are stayed pending the outcome of the appeal.
     
    d) Contested permit conditions and all permit conditions that are not separable from
    contested permit conditions are stayed during the pendency of the appeal. The Board
    may issue an order that identifies the conditions in a permit that are inseparable from
    contested permit conditions. Where the Board has issued an order that stays some
    but not all the conditions of a new permit during the pendency of an appeal,
    compliance is required with those conditions of the existing permit that correspond
    with the stayed conditions of the new permit, unless compliance with the existing
    conditions is technologically incompatible with the conditions of the new permit that
    are not stayed.

    SUBPART A: GENERAL PROVISIONS
     
    Section 724.101 Purpose, Scope, and Applicability
     
    a) The purpose of this Part is to establish minimum standards that define the
    acceptable management of hazardous waste.
     
    b) The standards in this Part apply to owners and operators of all facilities that treat,
    store, or dispose of hazardous waste, except as specifically provided otherwise in
    this Part or 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.
     
    c) The requirements of this Part apply to a person disposing of hazardous waste by
    means of ocean disposal subject to a permit issued under the federal Marine
    Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act (16 USC 1431-1434, 33 USC 1401) only
    to the extent they are included in a RCRA permit by rule granted to such a person
    under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.141. A “RCRA permit” is a permit required by
    Section 21(f) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/21(f)] and 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 703.121.
     
    BOARD NOTE: This Part does apply to the treatment or storage of hazardous
    waste before it is loaded onto an ocean vessel for incineration or disposal at sea.
     
    d) The requirements of this Part apply to a person disposing of hazardous waste by
    means of underground injection subject to a permit issued by the Agency pursuant
    to Section 12(g) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/12(g)] only to the
    extent they are required by Subpart F of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 704.Subpart F.
     
    BOARD NOTE: This Part does apply to the above-ground treatment or storage of
    hazardous waste before it is injected underground.
     
    e) The requirements of this Part apply to the owner or operator of a POTW (publicly
    owned treatment works) that treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste only to
    the extent included in a RCRA permit by rule granted to such a person under 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 703.141.
     

     
     
    215
    f) This subsection (f) corresponds with 40 CFR 264.1(f), which provides that the
    federal regulations do not apply to T/S/D activities in authorized states, except
    under limited, enumerated circumstances. This statement maintains structural
    consistency with USEPA rules.
     
    g) The requirements of this Part do not apply to the following:
     
    1) The owner or operator of a facility permitted by the Agency under Section
    21 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/21] to manage
    municipal or industrial solid waste, if the only hazardous waste the facility
    treats, stores, or disposes of is excluded from regulation under this Part by
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.105.
     
    BOARD NOTE: The owner or operator may be subject to 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 807 and may have to have a supplemental permit under 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 807.210.
     
    2) The owner or operator of a facility managing recyclable materials described
    in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.106(a)(2) through (a)(4) (except to the extent that
    requirements of this Part are referred to in Subpart C, F, G, or H of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 726.Subparts C, F, G, or H or 35 Ill. Adm. Code 739).
     
    3) A generator accumulating waste on-site in compliance with 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 722.134.
     
    4) A farmer disposing of waste pesticides from the farmer’s own use in
    compliance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.170.
     
    5) The owner or operator of a totally enclosed treatment facility, as defined in
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110.
     
    6) The owner or operator of an elementary neutralization unit or a wastewater
    treatment unit, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110, provided that if the
    owner or operator is diluting hazardous ignitable (D001) wastes (other than
    the D001 High TOC Subcategory defined in Table T to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    728.Table T) or reactive (D003) waste to remove the characteristic before
    land disposal, the owner or operator must comply with the requirements set
    out in Section 724.117(b).
     
    7) This subsection (g)(7) corresponds with 40 CFR 264.1(g)(7), reserved by
    USEPA. This statement maintains structural consistency with USEPA
    rules.

    response to any of the following situations:
     
    i) A discharge of a hazardous waste;
     
    ii) An imminent and substantial threat of a discharge of
    hazardous waste;
     
    iii) A discharge of a material that becomes a hazardous waste
    when discharged; or
     
    iv) An immediate threat to human health, public safety,
    property, or the environment from the known or suspected
    presence of military munitions, other explosive material, or
    an explosive device, as determined by an explosives or
    munitions emergency response specialist as defined in 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 720.110.
     
    B) An owner or operator of a facility otherwise regulated by this Part
    must comply with all applicable requirements of Subparts C and D
    of this Part.
     
    C) Any person that is covered by subsection (g)(8)(A) of this Section
    and that continues or initiates hazardous waste treatment or
    containment activities after the immediate response is over is subject
    to all applicable requirements of this Part and 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    702, 703, and 705 for those activities.
     
    D) In the case of an explosives or munitions emergency response, if a
    federal, State, or local official acting within the scope of his or her
    official responsibilities or an explosives or munitions emergency
    response specialist determines that immediate removal of the
    material or waste is necessary to protect human health or the
    environment, that official or specialist may authorize the removal
    of the material or waste by transporters that do not have USEPA
    identification numbers and without the preparation of a manifest.
    In the case of emergencies involving military munitions, the

    h) This Part applies to owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of
    hazardous wastes referred to in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.
     
    i) 35 Ill. Adm. Code 726.505 identifies when the requirements of this Part apply to
    the storage of military munitions classified as solid waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    726.302. The treatment and disposal of hazardous waste military munitions are
    subject to the applicable permitting, procedural, and technical standards in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 702, 703, 705, 720 through 726, and 728.
     
    j) The requirements of Subparts B, C, and D of this Part and Section 724.201 do not
    apply to remediation waste management sites. (However, some remediation waste
    management sites may be a part of a facility that is subject to a traditional RCRA
    permit because the facility is also treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous wastes
    that are not remediation wastes. In these cases, Subparts B, C, and D of this Part,
    and Section 724.201 do apply to the facility subject to the traditional RCRA
    permit.) Instead of the requirements of Subparts B, C, and D of this Part, owners or
    operators of remediation waste management sites shall must comply with the
    following requirements:
     
    1) The owner or operator shall must obtain an EPA a USEPA identification
    number by applying to USEPA using USEPA Form 8700-12;

     
     
    218
     
    2) The owner or operator shall must obtain a detailed chemical and physical
    analysis of a representative sample of the hazardous remediation wastes to
    be managed at the site. At a minimum, the analysis must contain all of the
    information that must be known to treat, store, or dispose of the waste
    according to this Part and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728, and the owner or operator
    shall must keep the analysis accurate and up to date;
     
    3) The owner or operator shall must prevent people who are unaware of the
    danger from entering the site, and the owner or operator shall must
    minimize the possibility for unauthorized people or livestock entering onto
    the active portion of the remediation waste management site, unless the
    owner or operator can demonstrate the following to the Agency:
     
    A) Physical
    That physical contact with the waste, structures, or
    equipment within the active portion of the remediation waste
    management site will not injure people or livestock that may enter
    the active portion of the remediation waste management site; and
     
    B) Disturbance
    That disturbance of the waste or equipment by people
    or livestock that enter onto the active portion of the remediation
    waste management site will not cause a violation of the requirements
    of this Part;
     
    4) The owner or operator shall must inspect the remediation waste
    management site for malfunctions, deterioration, operator errors, and
    discharges that may be causing or may lead to a release of hazardous waste
    constituents to the environment or a threat to human health. The owner or
    operator shall must conduct these inspections often enough to identify
    problems in time to correct them before they harm human health or the
    environment, and the owner or operator shall must remedy the problem
    before it leads to a human health or environmental hazard. Where a hazard
    is imminent or has already occurred, the owner or operator shall must
    immediately take remedial action;
     
    5) The owner or operator shall must provide personnel with classroom or on-
    the-job training on how to perform their duties in a way that ensures the
    remediation waste management site complies with the requirements of this
    Part, and on how to respond effectively to emergencies;
     
    6) The owner or operator shall must take precautions to prevent accidental
    ignition or reaction of ignitable or reactive waste, and the owner or operator
    shall must prevent threats to human health and the environment from
    ignitable, reactive, and incompatible waste;

     
     
    219
     
    7) For remediation waste management sites subject to regulation under
    Subparts I through O and Subpart X of this Part, the owner or operator shall
    must design, construct, operate, and maintain a unit within a 100-year
    floodplain to prevent washout of any hazardous waste by a 100-year flood,
    unless the owner or operator can meet the requirements of Section
    724.118(b);
     
    8) The owner or operator shall must not place any non-containerized or bulk
    liquid hazardous waste in any salt dome formation, salt bed formation,
    underground mine, or cave;
     
    9) The owner or operator shall must develop and maintain a construction
    quality assurance program for all surface impoundments, waste piles, and
    landfill units that are required to comply with Sections 724.321(c) and (d),
    724.351(c) and (d), and 724.401(c) and (d) at the remediation waste
    management site, according to the requirements of Section 724.119;
     
    10) The owner or operator shall must develop and maintain procedures to
    prevent accidents and a contingency and emergency plan to control
    accidents that occur. These procedures must address proper design,
    construction, maintenance, and operation of remediation waste management
    units at the site. The goal of the plan must be to minimize the possibility of,
    and the hazards from, a fire, explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non-
    sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air,
    soil, or surface water that could threaten human health or the environment.
    The plan must explain specifically how to treat, store, and dispose of the
    hazardous remediation waste in question, and must be implemented
    immediately whenever a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or
    hazardous waste constituents occurs that could threaten human health or the
    environment;
     
    11) The owner or operator shall must designate at least one employee, either on
    the facility premises or on call (that is, available to respond to an emergency
    by reaching the facility quickly), to coordinate all emergency response
    measures. This emergency coordinator must be thoroughly familiar with all
    aspects of the facility’s contingency plan, all operations and activities at the
    facility, the location and characteristics of waste handled, the location of all
    records within the facility, and the facility layout. In addition, this person
    must have the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the
    contingency plan;
     

     
     
    220
    12) The owner or operator shall must develop, maintain, and implement a plan
    to meet the requirements in subsections (j)(2) through (j)(6) and (j)(9)
    through (j)(10) of this Section; and
     
    13) The owner or operator shall must maintain records documenting compliance
    with subsections (j)(1) through (j)(12) of this Section.

    Section 724.113 General Waste Analysis
     
    a) Analysis:
     
    1) Before an owner or operator treats, stores, or disposes of any hazardous
    wastes, or non-hazardous wastes if applicable under Section 724.213(d),
    the owner or operator shall must obtain a detailed chemical and physical
    analysis of a representative sample of the wastes. At a minimum, the
    analysis must contain all the information that must be known to treat,
    store, or dispose of the waste in accordance with this Part and 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 728.
     
    2) The analysis may include data developed under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 and
    existing published or documented data on the hazardous waste or on
    hazardous waste generated from similar processes.
     
    BOARD NOTE: For example, the facility’s records of analyses
    performed on the waste before the effective date of these regulations or
    studies conducted on hazardous waste generated from processes similar to
    that which generated the waste to be managed at the facility may be
    included in the data base required to comply with subsection (a)(1) of this
    Section. The owner or operator of an off-site facility may arrange for the
    generator of the hazardous waste to supply part or all of the information
    required by subsection (a)(1) of this Section, except as otherwise specified
    in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.107(b) and (c). If the generator does not supply
    the information, and the owner or operator chooses to accept a hazardous
    waste, the owner or operator is responsible for obtaining the information
    required to comply with this Section.
     
    3) The analysis must be repeated as necessary to ensure that it is accurate and
    up to date. At a minimum, the analysis must be repeated as follows:
     
    A) When the owner or operator is notified, or has reason to believe,
    that the process or operation generating the hazardous waste, or
    non-hazardous waste if applicable under Section 724.213(d), has
    changed; and
     
    B) For off-site facilities, when the results of the inspection required in
    subsection (a)(4) of this Section indicate that the hazardous waste
    received at the facility does not match the waste designated on the
    accompanying manifest or shipping paper.
     

     
     
    223
    4) The owner or operator of an off-site facility shall must inspect and, if
    necessary, analyze each hazardous waste shipment received at the facility
    to determine whether it matches the identity of the waste specified on the
    accompanying manifest or shipping paper.
     
    b) The owner or operator shall must develop and follow a written waste analysis
    plan that describes the procedures that it will carry out to comply with subsection
    (a) of this Section. The owner or operator shall must keep this plan at the facility.
    At a minimum, the plan must specify the following:
     
    1) The parameters for which each hazardous waste, or non-hazardous waste
    if applicable under Section 724.213(d), will be analyzed and the rationale
    for the selection of these parameters (i.e., how analysis for these
    parameters will provide sufficient information on the waste’s properties to
    comply with subsection (a) of this Section).
     
    2) The test methods that will be used to test for these parameters.
     
    3) The sampling method that will be used to obtain a representative sample
    of the waste to be analyzed. A representative sample may be obtained
    using either of the following:
     
    A) One of the sampling methods described in Appendix A to 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 721.Appendix A; or
     
    B) An equivalent sampling method.
     
    BOARD NOTE: See 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.121.
     
    4) The frequency with which the initial analysis of the waste will be
    reviewed or repeated to ensure that the analysis is accurate and up to date.
     
    5) For off-site facilities, the waste analyses that hazardous waste generators
    have agreed to supply.
     
    6) Where applicable, the methods that will be used to meet the additional
    waste analysis requirements for specific waste management methods as
    specified in Sections 724.117, 724.414, 724.441, 724.934(d), 724.963(d),
    and 724.983 and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.107.
     
    7) For surface impoundments exempted from land disposal restrictions under
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.104(a), the procedures and schedules for the
    following:
     

     
     
    224
    A) The sampling of impoundment contents;
     
    B) The analysis of test data; and
     
    C) The annual removal of residues that are not delisted under 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 720.122 or which exhibit a characteristic of hazardous
    waste and either of the following is true of the waste:
     
    i) Do
    The residues do not meet applicable treatment standards
    of Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.Subpart D; or
     
    ii) Where no treatment standards have been established, such
    residues are prohibited from land disposal under 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 728.132 or 728.139 or such residues are
    prohibited from land disposal under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    728.133(f).
     
    8) For owners and operators seeking an exemption to the air emission
    standards of 724.Subpart CC of this Part in accordance with Section
    724.982, the following information:
     
    A) If direct measurement is used for the waste determination, the
    procedures and schedules for waste sampling and analysis and the
    analysis of test data to verify the exemption.
     
    B) If knowledge of the waste is used for the waste determination, any
    information prepared by the facility owner or operator or by the
    generator of the waste, if the waste is received from off-site, that is
    used as the basis for knowledge of the waste.
     
    c) For off-site facilities, the waste analysis plan required in subsection (b) of this
    Section must also specify the procedures that will be used to inspect and, if
    necessary, analyze each shipment of hazardous waste received at the facility to
    ensure that it matches the identity of the waste designated on the accompanying
    manifest or shipping paper. At a minimum, the plan must describe the following:
     
    1) The procedures that will be used to determine the identity of each
    movement of waste managed at the facility;
     
    2) The sampling method that will be used to obtain a representative sample
    of the waste to be identified, if the identification method includes
    sampling; and
     

     
     
    225
    3) The procedures that the owner or operator of an off-site landfill receiving
    containerized hazardous waste will use to determine whether a hazardous
    waste generator or treater has added a biodegradable sorbent to the waste
    in the container.
     
    BOARD NOTE: 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703 requires that the waste analysis
    plan be submitted with Part B of the permit application.

    Section 724.115 General Inspection Requirements
     
    a) The owner or operator shall must conduct inspections often enough to identify
    problems in time to correct them before they harm human health or the
    environment. The owner or operator shall must inspect the facility for
    malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may be
    causing or may lead to either of the following:
     
    1) Release of hazardous waste constituents to the environment; or
     
    2) A threat to human health.
     
    b) Inspection schedule.
     
    1) The owner or operator shall must develop and follow a written schedule
    for inspecting monitoring equipment, safety and emergency equipment,
    security devices, and operating and structural equipment (such as dikes

     
     
    227
    and sump pumps) that are important to preventing, detecting, or
    responding to environmental or human health hazards.
     
    2) The owner or operator shall must keep this schedule at the facility.
     
    3) The schedule must identify the types of problems (e.g., malfunctions or
    deterioration) that are to be looked for during the inspection (e.g.,
    inoperative sump pump, leaking fitting, eroding dike, etc.).
     
    4) The frequency of inspection may vary for the items on the schedule.
    However, the frequency should be based on the rate of deterioration of the
    equipment and the probability of an environmental or human health
    incident if the deterioration, malfunction, or any operator error goes
    undetected between inspections. Areas subject to spills, such as loading
    and unloading areas, must be inspected daily when in use. At a minimum,
    the inspection schedule must include the items and frequencies called for
    in Sections 724.274, 724.293, 724.295, 724.326, 724.354, 724.378,

    724.983 through 724.990, where applicable.
     
    BOARD NOTE: 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703 requires the inspection schedule
    to be submitted with Part B of the permit application. The Agency must
    evaluate the schedule along with the rest of the application to ensure that it
    adequately protects human health and the environment. As part of this
    review, the Agency may modify or amend the schedule as may be
    necessary.
     
    c) The owner or operator shall must remedy any deterioration or malfunction of
    equipment or structures that the inspection reveals on a schedule which ensures
    that the problem does not lead to an environmental or human health hazard.
    Where a hazard is imminent or has already occurred, remedial action must be
    taken immediately.
     
    d) The owner or operator shall must record inspections in an inspection log or
    summary. The owner or operator shall must keep these records for at least three
    years from the date of inspection. At a minimum, these records must include the

    following to the Agency’s satisfaction that:
     
    A) Procedures
    That procedures are in effect which that will cause the
    waste to be removed safely, before flood waters can reach the
    facility, to a location where the wastes will not be vulnerable to
    flood waters; or
     
    B) For existing surface impoundments, waste piles, land treatment
    units, landfills and miscellaneous units, that no adverse effect on
    human health or the environment will result if washout occurs,
    considering the following:
     
    i) The volume and physical and chemical characteristics of
    the waste in the facility;
     
    ii) The concentration of hazardous constituents that would
    potentially affect surface waters as a result of washout;
     
    iii) The impact of such concentrations on the current or
    potential uses of and water quality standards established for
    the affected surface waters; and
     
    iv) The impact of hazardous constituents on the sediments of
    affected surface waters or the soils of the 100-year
    floodplain that could result from washout;
     

     
     
    232
    2) As used in subsection (b)(1) of this Section:
     
    A) “100-year floodplain” means any land area which that is subject to
    a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year from
    any source.
     
    B) “Washout” means the movement of hazardous waste from the
    active portion of the facility as a result of flooding.
     
    C) “100-year flood” means a flood that has a one percent chance of
    being equalled or exceeded in any given year.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Requirements pertaining to other Federal laws which
    that affect the location and permitting of facilities are found in 40 CFR
    270.3. For details relative to these laws, see EPA’s manual for SEA
    (special environmental area) requirements for hazardous waste facility
    permits. Though EPA is responsible for complying with these
    requirements, applicants are advised to consider them in planning the
    location of a facility to help prevent subsequent project delays. Facilities
    may be required to obtain from the Illinois Department of Transportation
    on a permit or certification that a facility is flood-proofed.
     
    c) Salt dome formations, salt bed formations, underground mines and caves. The
    placement of any non-containerized or bulk liquid hazardous waste in any salt
    dome formation, salt bed formation, underground cave or mine is prohibited.

    Section 724.156 Emergency Procedures
     
    a) Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the emergency
    coordinator (or the designee when the emergency coordinator is on call) shall
    must immediately:
     
    1) Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems, where
    applicable, to notify all facility personnel; and
     
    2) Notify appropriate state or local agencies with designated response roles if
    their help is needed.
     

     
     
    240
    b) Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency coordinator shall
    must immediately identify the character, exact source, amount, and areal extent of
    any released materials. The emergency coordinator may do this by observation or
    review of facility records or manifests and, if necessary, by chemical analysis.
     
    c) Concurrently, the emergency coordinator shall must assess possible hazards to
    human health or the environment that may result from the release, fire, or
    explosion. This assessment must consider both direct and indirect effects of the
    release, fire, or explosion (e.g., the effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating
    gases that are generated, or the effects of any hazardous surface water run-off
    from water or chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced explosions).
     
    d) If the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has had a release, fire, or
    explosion that could threaten human health or the environment outside the
    facility, the emergency coordinator shall must report the findings as follows:
     
    1) If the assessment indicates that evacuation of local areas may be
    advisable, the emergency coordinator shall must immediately notify
    appropriate local authorities. The emergency coordinator must be
    available to help appropriate officials decide whether local areas should be
    evacuated; and
     
    2) The emergency coordinator shall must immediately notify either the
    government official designated as the on-scene coordinator for that
    geographical area (in the applicable regional contingency plan under 40
    CFR 300) or the National Response Center (using their 24-hour toll free
    number 800-424-8802). The report must include the following:
     
    A) Name and telephone number of reporter;
     
    B) Name and address of facility;
     
    C) Time and type of incident (e.g., release, fire);
     
    D) Name and quantity of materials involved, to the extent known;
     
    E) The extent of injuries, if any; and
     
    F) The possible hazards to human health or the environment outside
    the facility.
     
    e) During an emergency, the emergency coordinator shall must take all reasonable
    measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur,
    recur, or spread to other hazardous waste at the facility. These measures must

     
     
    241
    include, where applicable, stopping processes and operations, collecting and
    containing release waste, and removing or isolating containers.
     
    f) If the facility stops operations in response to a fire, explosion, or release, the
    emergency coordinator shall must monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas
    generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or other equipment, wherever this is
    appropriate.
     
    g) Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator shall must provide
    for treating, storing, or disposing of recovered waste, contaminated soil or surface
    water, or any other material that results from a release, fire, or explosion at the
    facility.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Unless the owner or operator can demonstrate, in accordance
    with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.103(d) or (e), that the recovered material is not a
    hazardous waste, the owner or operator becomes a generator of hazardous waste
    and shall must manage it in accordance with all applicable requirements of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 722, 723, and 724.
     
    h) The emergency coordinator shall must ensure that the following is true in the
    affected areas of the facility:
     
    1) No waste that may be incompatible with the released material is treated,
    stored, or disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed; and
     
    2) All emergency equipment listed in the contingency plan is cleaned and fit
    for its intended use before operations are resumed.
     
    i) The owner or operator shall must notify the Agency and appropriate state and
    local authorities that the facility is in compliance with subsection (h) above of this
    Section before operations are resumed in the affected areas of the facility.
     
    j) The owner or operator shall must note in the operating record the time, date, and
    details of any incident that requires implementing the contingency plan. Within
    15 days after the incident, the owner or operator shall must submit a written
    report on the incident to the Agency. The report must include the following:
     
    1) Name, address, and telephone number of the owner or operator;
     
    2) Name, address, and telephone number of the facility;

    SUBPART E: MANIFEST SYSTEM, RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING
     
    Section 724.170 Applicability
     
    The regulations in this Subpart E apply to owners and operators of both on-site and off-site
    facilities, except as Section 724.101 provides otherwise. Sections 724.171, 724.172, and
    724.176 do not apply to owners and operators of on-site facilities that do not receive any
    hazardous waste from off-site sources, nor do they apply to owners and operators of off-site
    facilities with respect to waste military munitions exempted from manifest requirements under
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 726.303(a). Section 724.173(b) only applies to permittees which that treat,
    store, or dispose of hazardous wastes on-site where such wastes were generated.
     
    (Source: Amended at 27 Ill. Reg. ________, effective ____________________)
     
    Section 724.171 Use of Manifest System
     
    a) If a facility receives hazardous waste accompanied by a manifest, the owner or
    operator, or the owner or operator’s agent, must do the following:
     
    1) Sign and date each copy of the manifest to certify that the hazardous waste
    covered by the manifest was received;
     
    2) Note any significant discrepancies in the manifest (as defined in Section
    724.172(a)) on each copy of the manifest;
     
    BOARD NOTE: The Board does not intend that the owner or operator of
    a facility whose procedures under Section 724.113(c) include waste
    analysis must perform that analysis before signing the manifest and giving
    it to the transporter. Section 724.172(b), however, requires reporting an
    unreconciled discrepancy discovered during later analysis.
     

     
     
    243
    3) Immediately give the transporter at least one copy of the signed manifest;
     
    4) Within 30 days after the delivery, send a copy of the manifest to the
    generator and to the Agency; and
     
    5) Retain at the facility a copy of each manifest for at least three years from
    the date of delivery.
     
    b) If a facility receives, from a rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter, hazardous
    waste which that is accompanied by a shipping paper containing all the
    information required on the manifest (excluding the USEPA identification
    numbers, generator’s certification, and signatures), the owner or operator, or the
    owner or operator’s agent, must do the following:
     
    1) Sign and date each copy of the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest
    has not been received) to certify that the hazardous waste covered by the
    manifest or shipping paper was received;
     
    2) Note any significant discrepancies (as defined in Section 724.172(a)) in
    the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has not been received) on
    each copy of the manifest or shipping paper;
     
    BOARD NOTE: The Board does not intend that the owner or operator of
    a facility whose procedures under Section 724.113(c) include waste
    analysis must perform that analysis before signing the shipping paper and
    giving it to the transporter. Section 724.172(b), however, requires
    reporting an unreconciled discrepancy discovered during later analysis.
     
    3) Immediately give the rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter at least one
    copy of the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has not been
    received);
     
    4) Within 30 days after the delivery, send a copy of the signed and dated
    manifest to the generator and to the Agency; however, if the manifest has
    not been received within 30 days after delivery, the owner or operator, or
    the owner or operator’s agent, must send a copy of the shipping paper
    signed and dated to the generator; and
     
    BOARD NOTE: Section 722.123(c) requires the generator to send three
    copies of the manifest to the facility when hazardous waste is sent by rail
    or water (bulk shipment).
     

     
     
    244
    5) Retain at the facility a copy of the manifest and shipping paper (if signed
    in lieu of the manifest at the time of delivery) for at least three years from
    the date of delivery.
     
    c) Whenever a shipment of hazardous waste is initiated from a facility, the owner or
    operator of that facility must comply with the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    722.
     
    BOARD NOTE: The provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.134 are applicable to
    the on-site accumulation of hazardous wastes by generators. Therefore, the
    provisions of Section 722.134 only apply to owners or operators that are shipping
    hazardous waste which that they generated at that facility.
     
    d) Within three working days of the receipt of a shipment subject to Subpart H of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 722.Subpart H, the owner or operator of the facility must provide
    a copy of the tracking document bearing all required signatures to the notifier; to
    the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Office of Compliance,
    Enforcement Planning, Targeting and Data Division (2222A), Environmental
    Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW, Washington, DC 20460; to the Bureau of
    Land, Division of Land Pollution Control, Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency, P.O. Box 19276, Springfield, IL 62794-9276; and to competent
    authorities of all other concerned countries. The original copy of the tracking
    document must be maintained at the facility for at least three years from the date
    of signature.

    Section 724.172 Manifest Discrepancies
     
    a) Definition of a “manifest discrepancy.”
     
    1) Manifest discrepancies are differences A manifest discrepancy is a
    difference between the quantity or type of hazardous waste designated on
    the manifest or shipping paper, and the quantity or type of hazardous
    waste a facility actually receives;
     
    2) Significant discrepancies
    A significant discrepancy in quantity are is as
    follows:
     
    A) For bulk waste, variations greater than 10 percent in weight; and
     
    B) For batch waste, any variation in piece count, such as a
    discrepancy of one drum in a truckload.;
     

     
     
    245
    3) Significant discrepancies in type are obvious differences which that can be
    discovered by inspection or waste analysis, such as waste solvent
    substituted for waste acid, or toxic constituents not reported on the
    manifest or shipping paper.
     
    b) Upon discovering a significant discrepancy, the owner or operator must attempt to
    reconcile the discrepancy with the waste generator or transporter (e.g., with
    telephone conversations). If the discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after
    receiving the waste, the owner or operator must immediately submit to the
    Agency a letter describing the discrepancy and attempts to reconcile it, and a
    copy of the manifest or shipping paper at issue.

    Section 724.176 Unmanifested Waste Report
     
    If a facility accepts for treatment, storage, or disposal any hazardous waste from an off-site
    source without an accompanying manifest, or without an accompanying shipping paper as
    described in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 723.120(e)(2), and if the waste is not excluded from the manifest
    requirement by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.105, then the owner or operator must prepare and submit
    a single copy of a report to the Agency within 15 days after receiving the waste. The
    unmanifested waste report must be submitted on EPA form 8700-13B. Such report must be
    designated ‘“Unmanifested Waste Report’” and include the following information:
     
    a) The EPA
    USEPA identification number, name, and address of the facility;

     
     
    249
     
    b) The date the facility received the waste;
     
    c) The EPA
    USEPA identification number, name, and address of the generator and
    the transporter, if available;
     
    d) A description and the quantity of each unmanifested hazardous waste and facility
    received;

    f) The certification signed by the owner or operator of the facility or the owner or
    operator’s authorized representative; and
     
    g) A brief explanation of why the waste was unmanifested, if known.
     
    (Board Note: BOARD NOTE: Small quantities of hazardous waste are excluded from
    regulation under this Part and do not require a manifest. Where a facility receives unmanifested
    hazardous wastes, the Board suggests that the owner or operator obtain from each generator a
    certification that the waste qualifies for exclusion. Otherwise, the Board suggests that the owner
    or operator file an unmanifested waste report for the hazardous waste movement.)

    SUBPART F: RELEASES FROM SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT UNITS
     
    Section 724.190 Applicability
     
    a) Types of units.

     
     
    250
     
    1) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Section, the regulations in this
    Subpart F apply to owners and operators of facilities that treat, store or
    dispose of hazardous waste. The owner or operator shall must satisfy the
    requirements identified in subsection (a)(2) of this Section for all wastes
    (or constituents thereof) contained in solid waste management units at the
    facility regardless of the time at which waste was placed in such units.
     
    2) All solid waste management units must comply with the requirements in
    Section 724.201. A surface impoundment, waste pile, land treatment unit
    or landfill that receives hazardous waste after July 26, 1982 (hereinafter
    referred to in this Subpart F as a “regulated unit”) must comply with the
    requirements of Sections 724.191 through 724.200 in lieu of Section
    724.201 for purposes of detecting, characterizing, and responding to
    releases to the uppermost aquifer. The financial responsibility
    requirements of Section 724.201 apply to regulated units.
     
    b) The owner or operator’s regulated unit or units are not subject to regulation for
    releases into the uppermost aquifer under this Subpart F if the following is true:
     
    1) The owner or operator is exempted under Section 724.101; or
     
    2) The owner or operator operates a unit which that the Agency finds:
     
    A) Is an engineered structure.
     
    B) Does not receive or contain liquid waste or waste containing free
    liquids.
     
    C) Is designed and operated to exclude liquid, precipitation, and other
    runon and runoff.
     
    D) Has both inner and outer layers of containment enclosing the
    waste.
     
    E) Has a leak detection system built into each containment layer.
     
    F) The owner or operator will provide continuing operation and
    maintenance of these leak detection systems during the active life
    of the unit and the closure and post-closure care periods.
     
    G) To a reasonable degree of certainty, will not allow hazardous
    constituents to migrate beyond the outer containment layer prior to
    the end of the post-closure care period; or

     
     
    251
     
    3) The Agency finds, pursuant to Section 724.380(d), that the treatment zone
    of a land treatment unit that qualifies as a regulated unit does not contain
    levels of hazardous constituents that are above background levels of those
    constituents by an amount that is statistically significant, and if an
    unsaturated zone monitoring program meeting the requirements of Section
    724.378 has not shown a statistically significant increase in hazardous
    constituents below the treatment zone during the operating life of the unit.
    An exemption under this paragraph subsection (b) can only relieve an
    owner or operator of responsibility to meet the requirements of this
    Subpart F during the post-closure care period; or
     
    4) The Agency finds that there is no potential for migration of liquid from a
    regulated unit to the uppermost aquifer during the active life of the
    regulated unit (including the closure period) and the post-closure care
    period specified under Section 724.217. This demonstration must be
    certified by a qualified geologist or geotechnical engineer. In order to
    provide an adequate margin of safety in the prediction of potential
    migration of liquid, the owner or operator shall must base any predictions
    made under this paragraph subsection (b) on assumptions that maximize
    the rate of liquid migration; or
     
    5) The owner or operator designs and operates a pile in compliance with
    Section 724.350(c).
     
    c) The regulations under this Subpart F apply during the active life of the regulated
    unit (including the closure period). After closure of the regulated unit, the
    following is true of the applicability of the regulations in this Subpart F:
     
    1) Do not apply if all waste, waste residues, contaminated containment
    system components, and contaminated subsoils are removed or
    decontaminated at closure;
     
    2) Apply during the post-closure care period under Section 724.217 if the
    owner or operator is conducting a detection monitoring program under
    Section 724.198; or
     
    3) Apply during the compliance period under Section 724.196 if the owner or
    operator is conducting a compliance monitoring program under Section
    724.199 or a corrective action program under Section 724.200.
     
    d) This Subpart F applies to miscellaneous units if necessary to comply with
    Sections 724.701 through 724.703.
     

     
     
    252
    e) The regulations of this Subpart F apply to all owners and operators subject to the
    requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.161, when the Agency issues a post-closure
    care permit or other enforceable document that contains alternative requirements for
    the facility, as provided in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.161. When alternative
    requirements apply to a facility, a reference in this Subpart F to “in the permit” shall
    must mean “in the enforceable document.”
     
    f) A permit or enforceable document can contain alternative requirements for
    groundwater monitoring and corrective action for releases to groundwater
    applicable to a regulated unit that replace all or part of the requirements of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 724.191 through 724.200, as provided under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    703.161, where the Board or Agency determines the following:
     
    1) The regulated unit is situated among solid waste management units (or areas
    of concern), a release has occurred, and both the regulated unit and one or
    more solid waste management units (or areas of concern) are likely to have
    contributed to the release; and
     
    2) It is not necessary to apply the groundwater monitoring and corrective
    action requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.191 through 724.200 because
    alternative requirements will protect human health and the environment.

    Section 724.191 Required Programs
     
    a) Owners and operators subject to this Subpart F shall must conduct a monitoring
    and response program as follows:
     
    1) Whenever hazardous constituents under Section 724.193 from a regulated
    unit are detected at a compliance point under Section 724.195, the owner
    or operator shall must institute a compliance monitoring program under
    Section 724.199. “Detected” is defined as statistically significant
    evidence of contamination, as described in Section 724.198(f).
     
    2) Whenever the groundwater protection standard under Section 724.192 is
    exceeded, the owner or operator shall must institute a corrective action
    program under Section 724.200. “Exceeded” is defined as statistically
    significant evidence of increased contamination, as described in Section
    724.199(d).
     
    3) Whenever hazardous constituents under Section 724.193 from a regulated
    unit exceed concentration limits under Section 724.194 in groundwater
    between the compliance point under Section 724.195 and the

     
     
    253
    downgradient facility property boundary, the owner or operator shall must
    institute a corrective action program under Section 724.200; or
     
    4) In all other cases, the owner or operator shall must institute a detection
    monitoring program under Section 724.198.
     
    b) The Agency will must specify in the facility permit the specific elements of the
    monitoring and response program. The Agency may include one or more of the
    programs identified in paragraph subsection (a) of this Section in the facility
    permit as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment and will
    must specify the circumstances under which each of the programs will be
    required. In deciding whether to require the owner or operator to be prepared to
    institute a particular program, the Agency will must consider the potential adverse
    effects on human health and the environment that might occur before final
    administrative action on a permit modification application to incorporate such a
    program could be taken.

    Section 724.192 Groundwater Protection Standard
     
    The owner or operator shall must comply with conditions specified in the facility permit that are
    designed to ensure that hazardous constituents under Section 724.193 detected in the
    groundwater from a regulated unit do not exceed the concentration limits under Section 724.194
    in the uppermost aquifer underlying the waste management area beyond the point of compliance
    under Section 724.195 during the compliance period under Section 724.196. The Agency will
    must establish this groundwater protection standard in the facility permit when hazardous
    constituents have been detected in the groundwater.

    regulated unit and that are reasonably expected to be in or derived from waste
    contained in a regulated unit, unless the Agency has excluded them under
    paragraph subsection (b) of this Section.
     
    b) The Agency will must exclude a 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721, Appendix H constituent
    from the list of hazardous constituents specified in the facility permit if it finds

     
     
    254
    that the constituent is not capable of posing a substantial present or potential
    hazard to human health or the environment. In deciding whether to grant an
    exemption, the Agency will must consider the following:
     
    1) Potential adverse effects on groundwater quality, considering the
    following:
     
    A) The physical and chemical characteristics of the waste in the
    regulated unit, including its potential for migration;

    E) The current and future uses of groundwater in the area;
     
    F) The existing quality of groundwater, including other sources of
    contamination, and their cumulative impact on the groundwater
    quality;
     
    G) The potential for health risks caused by human exposure to waste
    constituents;
     
    H) The potential damage to wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical
    structures caused by exposure to waste constituents;
     
    I) The persistence and permanence of the potential adverse effects;
    and
     
    2) Potential adverse effects on hydraulically-connected surface water quality,
    considering the following:
     
    A) The volume and physical and chemical characteristics of the waste
    in the regulated unit;
     
    B) The hydrogeological characteristics of the facility and surrounding
    land;
     
    C) The quantity and quality of groundwater, and the direction of
    groundwater flow;

     
     
    255
     
    D) The patterns of rainfall in the region;
     
    E) The proximity of the regulated unit to surface waters;
     
    F) The current and future uses of surface waters in the area and any
    water quality standards established for those surface waters;
     
    G) The existing quality of surface water, including other sources of
    contamination, and the cumulative impact on surface water quality;
     
    H) The potential for health risks caused by human exposure to waste
    constituents;
     
    I) The potential damage to wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical
    structures caused by exposure to waste constituents; and
     
    J) The persistence and permanence of the potential adverse effects.
     
    c) In making any determination under paragraph subsection (b) of this Section about
    the use of groundwater in the area around the facility, the Agency will must
    consider any identification of underground sources of drinking water and
    exempted aquifers made under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 704.123.
     
    d) The Agency shall must make specific written findings in granting any exemptions
    under paragraph subsection (b) of this Section.

    Section 724.194 Concentration Limits
     
    a) The Agency will must specify in the facility permit concentration limits in the
    groundwater for hazardous constituents established under Section 724.193. The
    following must be true of the concentration of a hazardous constituent:
     
    1) Must
    It must not exceed the background level of that constituent in the
    groundwater at the time that limit is specified in the permit; or
     
    2) For any of the constituents listed in Table 1, it must not exceed the
    respective value given in that Table if the background level of the
    constituent is below the value given in Table 1; or
     
    3) Must
    It must not exceed an alternate alternative limit established by the
    Agency under paragraph subsection (b) of this Section.

    0.01
     
    b) The Agency will must establish an alternate alternative concentration limit for a
    hazardous constituent if it finds that the constituent will not pose a substantial
    present or potential hazard to human health or the environment as long as the
    alternate alternative concentration limit is not exceeded. In establishing alternate
    concentration limits, the Agency will must consider the following factors:
     
    1) Potential adverse effects on groundwater quality, considering the
    following:
     
    A) The physical and chemical characteristics of the waste in the
    regulated unit, including its potential for migration;
     
    B) The hydrogeological characteristics of the facility and surrounding
    land;
     

     
     
    257

    E) The current and future uses of groundwater in the area;
     
    F) The existing quality of groundwater, including other sources of
    contamination and their cumulative impact on the groundwater
    quality;
     
    G) The potential for health risks caused by human exposure to waste
    constituents,;
     
    H) The potential damage to wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical
    structures caused by exposure to waste constituents;
     
    I) The persistence and permanence of the potential adverse effects;
    and
     
    2) Potential adverse effects on hydraulically-connected surface-water quality,
    considering the following:
     
    A) The volume and physical and chemical characteristics of the waste
    in the regulated unit;
     
    B) The hydrogeological characteristics of the facility and surrounding
    land;

    H) The potential for health risks caused by human exposure to waste
    constituents;

     
     
    258
     
    I) The potential damage to wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical
    structures caused by exposure to waste constituents; and
     
    J) The persistence and permanence of the potential adverse effects.
     
    c) In making any determination under paragraph subsection (b) of this Section about
    the use of groundwater in the area around the facility, the Agency will must
    consider any identification of underground sources of drinking water and
    exempted aquifers made under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 704.123.
     
    d) The Agency shall must make specific written findings in setting any alternate
    alternate concentration limits under paragraph subsection (b) of this Section.

    Section 724.195 Point of Compliance
     
    a) The Agency will must specify in the facility permit the point of compliance at
    which the groundwater protection standard of Section 724.192 applies and at
    which monitoring must be conducted. The point of compliance is a vertical
    surface located at the hydraulically downgradient limit of the waste management
    area that extends down into the uppermost aquifer underlying the regulated units.
     
    b) The waste management area is the limit projected in the horizontal plane of the
    area on which waste will be placed during the active life of a regulated unit.
     
    1) The waste management area includes horizontal space taken up by any
    liner, dike, or other barrier designed to contain waste in a regulated unit.
     
    2) If the facility contains more than one regulated unit, the waste
    management area is described by an imaginary line circumscribing the
    several regulated units.
     
    (Source: Amended at 27 Ill. Reg. ________, effective ____________________)
     
    Section 724.196 Compliance Period
     
    a) The Agency will must specify in the facility permit the compliance period during
    which the groundwater protection standard of Section 724.192 applies. The
    compliance period is the number of years equal to the active life of the waste
    management area (including any waste management activity prior to permitting,
    and the closure period.)

     
     
    259
     
    b) The compliance period begins when the owner or operator initiates a compliance
    monitoring program meeting the requirements of Section 724.199.
     
    c) If the owner or operator is engaged in a corrective action program at the end of
    the compliance period specified in paragraph subsection (a) of this Section, the
    compliance period is extended until the owner or operator can demonstrate that
    the groundwater protection standard of Section 724.192 has not been exceeded for
    a period of three consecutive years.

    Section 724.197 General Groundwater Monitoring Requirements
     
    The owner or operator shall must comply with the following requirements for any groundwater
    monitoring program developed to satisfy Section 724.198, 724.199, or 724.200.
     
    a) The groundwater monitoring system must consist of a sufficient number of wells,
    installed at appropriate locations and depths to yield groundwater samples from
    the uppermost aquifer that fulfill the following requirements:
     
    1) Represent
    They represent the quality of background water that has not
    been affected by leakage from a regulated unit. A determination of
    background quality may include sampling of wells that are not
    hydraulically upgradient from the waste management area where the
    following is true:
     
    A) Hydrogeologic conditions do not allow the owner or operator to
    determine what wells are upgradient; or
     
    B) Sampling at other wells will provide an indication of background
    groundwater quality that is as representative or more representative
    than that provided by the upgradient wells. And,;
     
    2) Represent
    They represent the quality of groundwater passing the point of
    compliance. And,; and
     
    3) Allow
    They allow for the detection of contamination when hazardous
    waste or hazardous constituents have migrated from the hazardous waste
    management area to the uppermost aquifer.
     
    b) If a facility contains more than one regulated unit, separate groundwater
    monitoring systems are not required for each regulated unit provided that
    provisions for sampling the groundwater in the uppermost aquifer will enable

     
     
    260
    detection and measurement at the compliance point of hazardous constituents
    from the regulated units that have entered the groundwater in the uppermost
    aquifer.
     
    c) All monitoring wells must be cased in a manner that maintains the integrity of the
    monitoring well bore hole. This casing must be screened or perforated and
    packed with gravel or sand, where necessary, to enable collection of groundwater
    samples. The annular space (i.e., the space between the bore hole and well
    casing) above the sampling depth must be sealed to prevent contamination of
    samples and the groundwater.
     
    d) The groundwater monitoring program must include consistent sampling and
    analysis procedures that are designed to ensure monitoring results that provide a
    reliable indication of groundwater quality below the waste management area. At
    a minimum the program must include procedures and techniques for the
    following:
     
    1) Sample collection;
     
    2) Sample preservation and shipment;
     
    3) Analytical procedures; and
     
    4) Chain of custody control.
     
    e) The groundwater monitoring program must include sampling and analytical
    methods that are appropriate for groundwater sampling and that accurately
    measure hazardous constituents in groundwater samples.
     
    f) The groundwater monitoring program must include a determination of the
    groundwater surface elevation each time groundwater is sampled.
     
    g) In detection monitoring or where appropriate in compliance monitoring, data on
    each hazardous constituent specified in the permit will be collected from
    background wells and wells at the compliance point(s) points. The number and
    kinds of samples collected to establish background must be appropriate for the
    form of statistical test employed, following generally accepted statistical
    principles. The sample size must be as large as necessary to ensure with
    reasonable confidence that a contaminant release to groundwater from a facility
    will be detected. The owner or operator will determine an appropriate sampling
    procedure and interval for each hazardous constituent listed in the facility permit
    which that must be specified in the unit permit upon approval by the Agency.
    This sampling procedure must be fulfill the following requirements:
     

     
     
    261
    1) A
    It may be a sequence of at least four samples, taken at an interval that
    assures, to the greatest extent technically feasible, that an independent
    sample is obtained, by reference to the uppermost aquifer’s effective
    porosity, hydraulic conductivity and hydraulic gradient, and the fate and
    transport characteristics of the potential contaminants; or
     
    2) An
    It may be an alternate sampling procedure proposed by the owner or
    operator and approved by the Agency.
     
    h) The owner or operator shall must specify one of the following statistical methods
    to be used in evaluating groundwater monitoring data for each hazardous
    constituent which that, upon approval by the Agency, will be specified in the unit
    permit. The statistical test chosen must be conducted separately for each
    hazardous constituent in each well. Where practical quantification limits
    (pql’spqls) are used in any of the following statistical procedures to comply with
    subsection (i)(5) of this Section, the pql must be proposed by the owner or
    operator and approved by the Agency. Use of any of the following statistical
    methods must be protective of human health and the environment and must
    comply with the performance standards outlined in subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    1) A parametric analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by multiple
    comparisons procedures to identify statistically significant evidence of
    contamination. The method must include estimation and testing of the
    contrasts between each compliance well’s mean and the background mean
    levels for each constituent.
     
    2) An analysis of variance (ANOVA) based on ranks followed by multiple
    comparisons procedures to identify statistically significant evidence of
    contamination. The method must include estimation and testing of the
    contrasts between each compliance well’s median and the background
    median levels for each constituent.
     
    3) A tolerance or prediction interval procedure in which an interval for each
    constituent is established from the distribution of the background data, and
    the level of each constituent in each compliance well is compared to the
    upper tolerance or prediction limit.
     
    4) A control chart approach that gives control limits for each constituent.
     
    5) Another statistical test method submitted by the owner or operator and
    approved by the Agency.
     

     
     
    262
    i) Any statistical method chosen under subsection (h) of this Section for
    specification in the unit permit must comply with the following performance
    standards, as appropriate:
     
    1) The statistical method used to evaluate groundwater monitoring data must
    be appropriate for the distribution of chemical parameters or hazardous
    constituents. If the distribution of the chemical parameters or hazardous
    constituents is shown by the owner or operator to be inappropriate for a
    normal theory test, then the data should be transformed or a distribution-
    free theory test should be used. If the distributions for the constituents
    differ, more than one statistical method may be needed.
     
    2) If an individual well comparison procedure is used to compare an
    individual compliance well constituent concentration with background
    constituent concentrations or a groundwater protection standard, the test
    must be done at a Type I error level no less than 0.01 for each testing
    period. If a multiple comparisons procedure is used, the Type I
    experimentwise error rate for each testing period must be no less than
    0.05; however, the Type I error of no less than 0.01 for individual well
    comparisons must be maintained. This performance standard does not
    apply to tolerance intervals, prediction intervals or control charts.
     
    3) If a control chart approach is used to evaluate groundwater monitoring
    data, the specific type of control chart and its associated parameter value
    must be proposed by the owner or operator and approved by the Agency if
    the Agency finds it to be protective of human health and the environment.
     
    4) If a tolerance interval or a prediction interval is used to evaluate
    groundwater monitoring data, the levels of confidence and, for tolerance
    intervals, the percentage of the population that the interval must contain,
    must be proposed by the owner or operator and approved by the Agency if
    the Agency finds these parameters to be protective of human health and
    the environment. These parameters will be determined after considering
    the number of samples in the background data base database, the data
    distribution, and the range of the concentration values for each constituent
    of concern.
     
    5) The statistical method must account for data below the limit of detection
    with one or more statistical procedures that are protective of human health
    and the environment. Any practical quantification limit (pql) approved by
    the Agency under subsection (h) of this Section which that is used in the
    statistical method must be the lowest concentration level that can be
    reliably achieved within specified limits of precision and accuracy during
    routine laboratory operating conditions that are available to the facility.

     
     
    263
     
    6) If necessary, the statistical method must include procedures to control or
    correct for seasonal and spatial variability, as well as temporal correlation
    in the data.
     
    j) Groundwater monitoring data collected in accordance with subsection (g) of this
    Section, including actual levels of constituents, must be maintained in the facility
    operating record. The Agency shall must specify in the permit when the data
    must be submitted for review.

    constituents to be monitored in the facility permit, after considering the following
    factors:
     
    1) The types, quantities, and concentrations of constituents in wastes
    managed at the regulated unit;
     
    2) The mobility, stability, and persistence of waste constituents or their
    reaction products in the unsaturated zone beneath the waste management
    area;
     
    3) The detectability of indicator parameters, waste constituents, and reaction
    products in groundwater; and
     
    4) The concentrations or values and coefficients of variation of proposed
    monitoring parameters or constituents in the groundwater background.

    d) The Agency shall must specify the frequencies for collecting samples and
    conducting statistical tests to determine whether there is statistically significant
    evidence of contamination for any parameter or hazardous constituent specified in
    the permit under subsection (a) of this Section in accordance with Section
    724.197(g). A sequence of at least four samples from each well (background and
    compliance wells) must be collected at least semi-annually during detection
    monitoring.
     
    e) The owner or operator shall must determine the groundwater flow rate and
    direction in the uppermost aquifer at least annually.
     
    f) The owner or operator shall must determine whether there is statistically
    significant evidence of contamination for any chemical parameter or hazardous
    constituent specified in the permit pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section at a
    frequency specified under subsection (d) of this Section.
     
    1) In determining whether statistically significant evidence of contamination
    exists, the owner or operator shall must use the method(s) methods
    specified in the permit under Section 724.197(h). These method(s)
    methods must compare data collected at the compliance point(s) points to
    the background groundwater quality data.
     
    2) The owner or operator shall must determine whether there is statistically
    significant evidence of contamination at each monitoring well at the
    compliance point within a reasonable period of time after completion of
    sampling. The Agency shall must specify in the facility permit what
    period of time is reasonable, after considering the complexity of the
    statistical test and the availability of laboratory facilities to perform the
    analysis of groundwater samples.
     
    g) If the owner or operator determines pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section that
    there is statistically significant evidence of contamination for chemical
    parameters or hazardous constituents specified pursuant to subsection (a) of this
    Section at any monitoring well at the compliance point, the owner or operator
    shall must do the following:
     
    1) Notify the Agency of this finding in writing within seven days. The
    notification must indicate what chemical parameters or hazardous

     
     
    265
    constituents have shown statistically significant evidence of
    contamination.
     
    2) Immediately sample the groundwater in all monitoring wells and
    determine whether constituents in the list of Appendix I of this Part are
    present, and if so, in what concentration.
     
    3) For any Appendix I compounds in Appendix I of this Part found in the
    analysis pursuant to subsection (g)(2) of this Section, the owner or
    operator may resample within one month and repeat the analysis for those
    compounds detected. If the results of the second analysis confirm the
    initial results, then these constituents will form the basis for compliance
    monitoring. If the owner or operator does not resample for the compounds
    found pursuant to subsection (g)(2) of this Section, the hazardous
    constituents found during this initial Appendix I analysis will form the
    basis for compliance monitoring.
     
    4) Within 90 days, submit to the Agency an application for a permit
    modification to establish a compliance monitoring program meeting the
    requirements of Section 724.199. The application must include the
    following information:
     
    A) An identification of the concentration of any Appendix I
    constituent in Appendix I of this Part detected in the groundwater
    at each monitoring well at the compliance point;
     
    B) Any proposed changes to the groundwater monitoring system at
    the facility necessary to meet the requirements of Section 724.199;
     
    C) Any proposed additions or changes to the monitoring frequency,
    sampling and analysis procedures or methods, or statistical
    methods used at the facility necessary to meet the requirements of
    Section 724.199;
     
    D) For each hazardous constituent detected at the compliance point, a
    proposed concentration limit under Section 724.194(a)(1) or (a)(2),
    or a notice of intent to seek an alternate concentration limit under
    Section 724.194(b); and.
     
    5) Within 180 days, submit the following to the Agency:
     
    A) All data necessary to justify an alternate concentration limit sought
    under Section 724.194(b); and
     

     
     
    266
    B) An engineering feasibility plan for a corrective action program
    necessary to meet the requirement of Section 724.200, unless the
    following is true:
     
    i) All hazardous constituents identified under subsection
    (g)(2) of this Section are listed in Table 1 of Section
    724.194 and their concentrations do not exceed the
    respective values given in that table; or
     
    ii) The owner or operator has sought an alternate
    concentration limit under Section 724.194(b) for every
    hazardous constituent identified under subsection (g)(2) of
    this Section.
     
    6) If the owner or operator determines, pursuant to subsection (f) of this
    Section, that there is a statistically significant difference for chemical
    parameters or hazardous constituents specified pursuant to subsection (a)
    of this Section at any monitoring well at the compliance point, the owner
    or operator may demonstrate that a source other than a regulated unit
    caused the contamination or that the detection is an artifact caused by an
    error in sampling, analysis or statistical evaluation, or natural variation in
    the groundwater. The owner or operator may make a demonstration under
    this subsection (g) in addition to, or in lieu of, submitting a permit
    modification application under subsection (g)(4) of this Section; however,
    the owner or operator is not relieved of the requirement to submit a permit
    modification application within the time specified in subsection (g)(4) of
    this Section unless the demonstration made under this paragraph
    subsection (g) successfully shows that a source other than a regulated unit
    caused the increase, or that the increase resulted from error in sampling,
    analysis, or evaluation. In making a demonstration under this subsection
    (g), the owner or operator shall must do the following:
     
    A) Notify the Agency in writing, within seven days of determining
    statistically significant evidence of contamination at the
    compliance point, that the owner or operator intends to make a
    demonstration under this subsection (g);
     
    B) Within 90 days, submit a report to the Agency which that
    demonstrates that a source other than a regulated unit caused the
    contamination or that the contamination resulted from error in
    sampling, analysis, or evaluation;
     

     
     
    267
    C) Within 90 days, submit to the Agency an application for a permit
    modification to make any appropriate changes to the detection
    monitoring program facility; and
     
    D) Continue to monitor in accordance with the detection monitoring
    program established under this Section.
     
    h) If the owner or operator determines that the detection monitoring program no
    longer satisfies the requirements of this Section, the owner or operator shall must,
    within 90 days, submit an application for a permit modification to make any
    appropriate changes to the program.

    F shall must, at a minimum, discharge the following responsibilities:
     
    a) The owner or operator shall must monitor the groundwater to determine whether
    regulated units are in compliance with the groundwater protection standard under
    Section 724.192. The Agency will must specify the groundwater protection
    standard in the facility permit, including the following:
     
    1) A list of the hazardous constituents identified under Section 724.193;
     
    2) Concentration limits under Section 724.194 for each of those hazardous
    constituents;
     
    3) The compliance point under Section 724.195; and
     
    4) The compliance period under Section 724.196.
     
    b) The owner or operator shall must install a groundwater monitoring system at the
    compliance point as specified under Section 724.195. The groundwater
    monitoring system must comply with Section 724.197(a)(2), 724.197(b), and
    724.197(c).
     
    c) The Agency shall must specify the sampling procedures and statistical methods
    appropriate for the constituents and facility, consistent with Section 724.197(g)
    and (h).
     

     
     
    268
    1) The owner or operator shall must conduct a sampling program for each
    chemical parameter or hazardous constituent in accordance with Section
    724.297(g).
     
    2) The owner or operator shall must record groundwater analytical data as
    measured and in a form necessary for the determination of statistical
    significance under Section 724.197(h) for the compliance period of the
    facility.
     
    d) The owner or operator shall must determine whether there is statistically
    significant evidence of increased contamination for any chemical parameter or
    hazardous constituent specified in the permit, pursuant to subsection (a) of this
    Section, at a frequency specified under subsection (f) of this Section.
     
    1) In determining whether statistically significant evidence of increased
    contamination exists, the owner or operator shall must use the methods
    specified in the permit under Section 724.197(h). The methods must
    compare data collected at the compliance points to a concentration limit
    developed in accordance with Section 724.194.
     
    2) The owner or operator shall must determine whether there is statistically
    significant evidence of increased contamination at each monitoring well at
    the compliance point within a reasonable time period after completion of
    the sampling. The Agency shall must specify that time period in the
    facility permit, after considering the complexity of the statistical test and
    the availability of laboratory facilities to perform the analysis of
    groundwater samples.
     
    e) The owner or operator shall must determine the groundwater flow rate and
    direction in the uppermost aquifer at least annually.
     
    f) The Agency shall must specify the frequencies for collecting samples and
    conducting statistical tests to determine statistically significant evidence of
    increased contamination in accordance with Section 724.197(g). A sequence of at
    least four samples from each well (background and compliance wells) must be
    collected at least semi-annually during the compliance period for the facility.
     
    g) The owner or operator shall must analyze samples from all monitoring wells at
    the compliance point for all constituents contained in Appendix I of this Part at
    least annually to determine whether additional hazardous constituents are present
    in the uppermost aquifer and, if so, at what concentration, pursuant to procedures
    in Section 724.198(f). If the owner or operator finds Appendix I constituents of
    Appendix I of this Part in the groundwater that are not already identified as
    monitoring constituents, the owner or operator may resample within one month

     
     
    269
    and repeat the Appendix I analysis. If the second analysis confirms the presence
    of new constituents, the owner or operator shall must report the concentration of
    these additional constituents to the Agency within seven days after the completion
    of the second analysis, and add them to the monitoring list. If the owner or
    operator chooses not to resample, then the owner or operator shall must report the
    concentrations of these additional constituents to the Agency within seven days
    after completion of the initial analysis, and add them to the monitoring list.
     
    h) If the owner or operator determines, pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section that
    any concentration limits under Section 724.194 are being exceeded at any
    monitoring well at the point of compliance, the owner or operator shall must do
    the following:
     
    1) Notify the Agency of this finding in writing within seven days. The
    notification must indicate what concentration limits have been exceeded.
     
    2) Submit to the Agency an application for a permit modification to establish
    a corrective action program meeting the requirements of Section 724.200
    within 180 days, or within 90 days if an engineering feasibility study has
    been previously submitted to the Agency under Section 724.198(h)(5).
    The application must at a minimum include the following information:
     
    A) A detailed description of corrective actions that will achieve
    compliance with the groundwater protection standard specified in
    the permit under subsection (a) of this Section; and
     
    B) A plan for a groundwater monitoring program that will
    demonstrate the effectiveness of the corrective action. Such a
    groundwater monitoring program may be based on a compliance
    monitoring program developed to meet the requirements of this
    section Section.
     
    i) If the owner or operator determines, pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section,
    that the groundwater concentration limits under this Section are being exceeded at
    any monitoring well at the point of compliance, the owner or operator may
    demonstrate that a source other than a regulated unit caused the contamination or
    that the detection is an artifact caused by an error in sampling, analysis, or
    statistical evaluation, or natural variation in groundwater. In making a
    demonstration under this subsection (i), the owner or operator shall must do the
    following:
     
    1) Notify the Agency in writing within seven days that it intends to make a
    demonstration under this subsection (i);
     

     
     
    270
    2) Within 90 days, submit a report to the Agency which that demonstrates
    that a source other than a regulated unit caused the standard to be
    exceeded or that the apparent noncompliance with the standards resulted
    from error in sampling, analysis, or evaluation;

    Section 724.200 Corrective Action Program
     
    An owner or operator required to establish a corrective action program under this Subpart F
    must, at a minimum, discharge the following responsibilities:
     
    a) The owner or operator must take corrective action to ensure that regulated units
    are in compliance with the groundwater protection standard under Section
    724.192. The Agency will must specify the groundwater protection standard in
    the facility permit, including the following:
     
    1) A list of the hazardous constituents identified under Section 724.193;
     
    2) Concentration limits under Section 724.194 for each of those hazardous
    constituents;
     
    3) The compliance point under Section 724.195; and
     
    4) The compliance period under Section 724.196.
     
    b) The owner or operator must implement a corrective action program that prevents
    hazardous constituents from exceeding their respective concentration limits at the
    compliance point by removing the hazardous waste constituents or treating them
    in place. The permit will specify the specific measures that will must be taken.
     

     
     
    271
    c) The owner or operator must begin corrective action within a reasonable time
    period after the groundwater protection standard is exceeded. The Agency will
    must specify that time period in the facility permit. If a facility permit includes a
    corrective action program in addition to a compliance monitoring program, the
    permit will specify when the corrective action will must begin and such a
    requirement will operate in lieu of Section 724.199(i)(2).
     
    d) In conjunction with a corrective action program, the owner or operator must
    establish and implement a groundwater monitoring program to demonstrate the
    effectiveness of the corrective action program. Such a monitoring program may
    be based on the requirements for a compliance monitoring program under Section
    724.199 and must be as effective as that program in determining compliance with
    the groundwater protection standard under Section 724.192 and in determining
    the success of a corrective action program under subsection (e) of this Section
    where appropriate.
     
    e) In addition to the other requirements of this section Section, the owner or operator
    must conduct a corrective action program to remove or treat in place any
    hazardous constituents under Section 724.193 that exceed concentration limits
    under Section 724.194 in groundwater, as follows:
     
    1) Location.At the following locations:
     
    A) Between the compliance point under Section 724.195 and the
    downgradient facility property boundary; and
     
    B) Beyond the facility boundary, where necessary to protect human
    health and the environment, unless the owner or operator
    demonstrates to the Agency that, despite the owner’s or operator’s
    best efforts, the owner or operator was unable to obtain the
    necessary permission to undertake such action. The owner and
    operator are not relieved of all responsibility to clean up a release
    that has migrated beyond the facility boundary where off-site
    access is denied. On-site measures to address such releases will be
    determined on a case-by-case basis.
     
    2) The permit will specify the following measures to be taken:
     
    A) Corrective action measures under this paragraph subsection (e)
    must be initiated and completed within a reasonable period of time
    considering the extent of contamination.
     
    B) Corrective action measures under this paragraph subsection (e)
    may be terminated once the concentration of hazardous

     
     
    272
    constituents under Section 724.193 is reduced to levels below their
    respective concentration limits under Section 724.194.
     
    f) The owner or operator must continue corrective action measures during the
    compliance period to the extent necessary to ensure that the groundwater
    protection standard is not exceeded. If the owner or operator is conducting
    corrective action at the end of the compliance period, the owner or operator must
    continue that corrective action for as long as necessary to achieve compliance
    with the groundwater protection standard. The owner or operator may terminate
    corrective action measures taken beyond the period equal to the active life of the
    waste management area (including the closure period) if the owner or operator
    can demonstrate, based on data from the groundwater monitoring program under
    subsection (d) of this Section, that the groundwater protection standard of Section
    724.192 has not been exceeded for a period of three consecutive years.
     
    g) The owner or operator must report in writing to the Agency on the effectiveness
    of the corrective action program. The owner or operator must submit these
    reports semi-annually.
     
    h) If the owner or operator determines that the corrective action program no longer
    satisfies the requirements of this section Section, the owner or operator must,
    within 90 days, submit an application for a permit modification to make any
    appropriate changes to the program.

    Section 724.201 Corrective Action for Solid Waste Management Units
     
    a) The owner or operator of a facility seeking a permit for the treatment, storage, or
    disposal of hazardous waste must institute corrective action as necessary to
    protect human health and the environment for all releases of hazardous waste or
    constituents from any solid waste management unit at the facility, regardless of
    the time at which waste was placed in such unit.
     
    b) Corrective action will be specified in the permit in accordance with this Section
    and Subpart S of this Part. The permit will contain schedules of compliance for
    such corrective action (where such corrective action cannot be completed prior to
    issuance of the permit) and assurances of financial responsibility for completing
    such corrective action.
     
    c) The owner or operator shall must implement corrective action measures beyond
    the facility property boundary, where necessary to protect human health and the
    environment, unless the owner or operator demonstrates to the Agency that,
    despite the owner or operator’s best efforts, the owner or operator was unable to

     
     
    273
    obtain the necessary permission to undertake such actions. The owner and
    operator are not relieved of all responsibility to clean up a release that has
    migrated beyond the facility boundary where off-site access is denied. On-site
    measures to address such releases will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
    Assurances of financial responsibility for such corrective action must be
    provided.
     
    d) The requirements of this Section do not apply to remediation waste management
    sites unless they are part of a facility subject to a permit for treating, storing, or
    disposing of hazardous wastes that are not remediation wastes.

    SUBPART G: CLOSURE AND POST-CLOSURE CARE
     
    Section 724.210 Applicability
     
    Except as Section 724.101 provides otherwise, the following are required:
     
    a) Section 724.211 through 724.215 (which concern closure) apply to the owners
    and operators of all hazardous waste management facilities; and
     
    b) Sections 724.216 through 724.220 (which concern post-closure care) apply to the
    owners and operators of the following:
     
    1) All hazardous waste disposal facilities; or
     
    2) Waste piles and surface impoundments from which the owner or operator
    intends to remove the wastes at closure, to the extent that Sections
    724.216 through 724.220 are made applicable to such facilities in Sections
    724.328 or 724.358; or
     
    3) Tank systems which that are required under Section 724.297 to meet the
    requirements for landfills; or
     
    4) Containment buildings that are required under Section 724.1102 to
    meet the requirements for landfills; and
     
    c) A permit or enforceable document can contain alternative requirements that replace
    all or part of the closure and post-closure care requirements of this Subpart G (and
    the unit-specific standards referenced in Section 724.211(c) applying to a regulated
    unit) with alternative requirements set out in a permit or other enforceable
    document, as provided under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.161, where the Board or
    Agency determines the following:

     
     
    274
     
    1) The regulated unit is situated among solid waste management units (or areas
    of concern), a release has occurred, and both the regulated unit and one or
    more solid waste management units (or areas of concern) are likely to have
    contributed to the release; and
     
    2) It is not necessary to apply the closure requirements of this Subpart G (and
    those referenced herein) because the alternative requirements will protect
    human health and the environment and will satisfy the closure performance
    standard of Section 724.211 (a) and (b).

    Section 724.212 Closure Plan; Amendment of Plan
     
    a) Written plan required.
     
    1) The owner or operator of a hazardous waste management facility shall
    must have a written closure plan. In addition, certain surface
    impoundments and waste piles from which the owner or operator intends
    to remove or decontaminate the hazardous waste at partial or final closure
    are required by Sections 724.328(c)(1)(A) and 724.358(c)(1)(A) to have
    contingent closure plans. The plan must be submitted with the permit
    application, in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.183, and approved
    by the Agency as part of the permit issuance proceeding under 35 Ill.

     
     
    275
    Adm. Code 705. In accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.241, the
    approved closure plan will become a condition of any RCRA permit.
     
    2) The Agency’s approval of the plan must ensure that the approved closure
    plan is consistent with Sections 724.211 through 724.215 and the
    applicable requirements of Sections 724.190 et seq., 724.278, 724.297,

    Until final closure is completed and certified in accordance with Section
    724.215, a copy of the approved plan and approved revisions must be
    furnished to the Agency upon request, including requests by mail.
     
    b) Content of plan. The plan must identify steps necessary to perform partial or final
    closure of the facility at any point during its active life. The closure plan must
    include, at least the following:
     
    1) A description of how each hazardous waste management unit at the
    facility will be closed in accordance with Section 724.211; and
     
    2) A description of how final closure of the facility will be conducted in
    accordance with Section 724.211. The description must identify the
    maximum extent of the operations which that will be unclosed during the
    active life of the facility; and
     
    3) An estimate of the maximum inventory of hazardous wastes ever on-site
    over the active life of the facility and a detailed description of the methods
    to be used during partial closures and final closure, including, but not
    limited to, methods for removing, transporting, treating, storing, or
    disposing of all hazardous wastes, and identification of the type(s) types of
    off-site hazardous waste management units to be used, if applicable; and

    components, equipment, structures, and soils during partial and final
    closure, including, but not limited to, procedures for cleaning equipment
    and removing contaminated soils, methods for sampling and testing
    surrounding soils, and criteria for determining the extent of
    decontamination required to satisfy the closure performance standard; and
     
    5) A detailed description of other activities necessary during the closure
    period to ensure that all partial closures and final closure satisfy the
    closure performance standards, including, but not limited to, groundwater
    monitoring, leachate collection, and runon and runoff control; and
     

     
     
    276
    6) A schedule for closure of each hazardous waste management unit and for
    final closure of the facility. The schedule must include, at a minimum, the
    total time required to close each hazardous waste management unit and the
    time required for intervening closure activities which that will allow
    tracking of the progress of partial and final closure (For example, in the
    case of a landfill unit, estimates of the time required to treat and dispose of
    all hazardous waste inventory and of the time required to place a final
    cover must be included.); and
     
    7) For facilities that use trust funds to establish financial assurance under
    Section 724.243 or 724.245 and that are expected to close prior to the
    expiration of the permit, an estimate of the expected year of final closure;
    and
     
    8) For a facility where alternative requirements are established at a regulated
    unit under Section 724.190(f), 724.210(c), or 724.240(d), as provided under
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.161, either the alternative requirements applying to
    the regulated unit or a reference to the enforceable document containing
    those alternative requirements.
     
    c) Amendment of the plan. The owner or operator shall must submit a written
    notification of or request for a permit modification to authorize a change in
    operating plans, facility design, or the approved closure plan in accordance with
    the applicable procedures in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 705. The written
    notification or request must include a copy of the amended closure plan for
    review or approval by the Agency.
     
    1) The owner or operator may submit a written notification or request to the
    Agency for a permit modification to amend the closure plan at any time
    prior to notification of partial or final closure of the facility.
     
    2) The owner or operator shall must submit a written notification of or
    request for a permit modification to authorize a change in the approved
    closure plan whenever any of the following occurs:
     
    A) Changes in operating plans or facility design affect the closure
    plan;
     
    B) There is a change in the expected year of closure, if applicable;
     
    C) In conducting partial or final closure activities, unexpected events
    require modification of the approved closure plan; or
     

     
     
    277
    D) The owner or operator requests the establishment of alternative
    requirements, as provided under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.161, to a
    regulated unit under Section 724.190(f), 724.210(c), or 724.240(d).
     
    3) The owner or operator shall must submit a written request for a permit
    modification including a copy of the amended closure plan for approval at
    least 60 days prior to the proposed change in the facility design or
    operation, or no later than 60 days after an unexpected event has occurred
    which that has affected the closure plan. If an unexpected event occurs
    during the partial or final closure period, the owner or operator shall must
    request a permit modification no later than 30 days after the unexpected
    event. An owner or operator of a surface impoundment or waste pile that
    intends to remove all hazardous waste at closure and is not otherwise
    required to prepare a contingent closure plan under Sections
    724.328(c)(1)(A) or 724.358(c)(1)(A), shall must submit an amended
    closure plan to the Agency no later than 60 days after the date the owner
    or operator or Agency determines that the hazardous waste management
    unit must be closed as a landfill, subject to the requirements of Section
    724.410, or no later than 30 days after that date if the determination is
    made during partial or final closure. The Agency shall must approve,
    disapprove or modify this amended plan in accordance with the
    procedures in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 705. In accordance with 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 702.160 and 703.241, the approved closure plan will
    become a condition of any RCRA permit issued.
     
    4) The Agency may request modifications to the plan under the conditions
    described in Section 724.212(c)(2). The owner or operator shall must
    submit the modified plan within 60 days after the Agency’s request, or
    within 30 days if the change in facility conditions occurs during partial or
    final closure. Any modifications requested by the Agency must be
    approved in accordance with the procedures in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702,
    703, and 705.
     
    d) Notification of partial closure and final closure.
     
    1) The owner or operator shall must notify the Agency in writing at least 60
    days prior to the date on which the owner or operator expects to begin
    closure of a surface impoundment, waste pile, land treatment, or landfill
    unit, or final closure of a facility with such a unit. The owner or operator
    shall must notify the Agency in writing at least 45 days prior to the date
    on which the owner or operator expects to begin final closure of a facility
    with only treatment or storage tanks, container storage, or incinerator units
    to be closed. The owner or operator shall must notify the Agency in
    writing at least 45 days prior to the date on which the owner or operator

     
     
    278
    expects to begin partial or final closure of a boiler or industrial furnace,
    whichever is earlier.
     
    2) The date when the owner or operator “expects to begin closure” must be
    either of the following:
     
    A) No later than 30 days after the date on which any hazardous waste
    management unit receives the known final volume of hazardous
    wastes or, if there is a reasonable possibility that the hazardous
    waste management unit will receive additional hazardous wastes,
    no later than one year after the date on which the unit received the
    most recent volume of hazardous waste. If the owner or operator
    of a hazardous waste management unit demonstrates to the Agency
    that the hazardous waste management unit or facility has the
    capacity to receive additional hazardous wastes and that the owner
    or operator have taken, and will continue to take, all steps to
    prevent threats to human health and the environment, including
    compliance with all applicable permit requirements, the Agency
    shall must approve an extension to this one-year limit; or
     
    B) For units meeting the requirements of Section 724.213(d), no later
    than 30 days after the date on which the hazardous waste
    management unit receives the final known volume of non-
    hazardous wastes, or, if there is a reasonable possibility that the
    hazardous waste management unit will receive additional non-
    hazardous wastes, no later than one year after the date on which
    the unit received the most recent volume of non-hazardous wastes.
    If the owner or operator demonstrates to the Agency that the
    hazardous waste management unit has the capacity to receive
    additional non-hazardous wastes and that the owner and operator
    have taken, and will continue to take, all steps to prevent threats to
    human health and the environment, including compliance with all
    applicable permit requirements, the Agency shall must approve an
    extension to this one-year limit.
     
    3) If the facility’s permit is terminated, or if the facility is otherwise ordered
    by judicial decree or Board order to cease receiving hazardous wastes or
    to close, then the requirements of this subsection (d) do not apply.
    However, the owner or operator shall must close the facility in accordance
    with the deadlines established in Section 724.213.
     
    e) Removal of wastes and decontamination or dismantling of equipment. Nothing in
    this Section shall must preclude the owner or operator from removing hazardous
    wastes and decontaminating or dismantling equipment in accordance with the

     
     
    279
    approved partial or final closure plan at any time before or after notification of
    partial or final closure.

    waste management unit, or facility, if all disposal units have been
    closed, if and the Board finds has found by an adjusted standard
    issue pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/28.1] and 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 101 and 104 that the reduced period is sufficient to
    protect human health and the environment (e.g., leachate or
    groundwater monitoring results, characteristics of the waste,
    application of advanced technology or alternative disposal,
    treatment, or re-use techniques indicate that the hazardous waste
    management unit or facility is secure); or
     
    B) Extend the post-closure care period applicable to the hazardous
    waste management unit or facility if the Board finds has found by
    an adjusted standard issue pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Act [415
    ILCS 5/28.1] and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101 and 104 that the extended
    period is necessary to protect human health and the environment
    (e.g., leachate or groundwater monitoring results indicate a
    potential for migration of hazardous wastes at levels which that
    may be harmful to human health and the environment).

     
     
    288
     
    C)
    Reduction or extension of the post-closure care period will be by
    rulemaking pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.
     
    b) The Agency shall must require, at partial or final closure, continuation at partial or
    final closure of any of the security requirements of Section 724.114 during part or
    all of the post-closure period when either of the following is true:
     
    1) Hazardous wastes may remain exposed after completion of partial or final
    closure; or
     
    2) Access by the public or domestic livestock may pose a hazard to human
    health.
     
    c) Post-closure use of property on or in which hazardous wastes remain after partial
    or final closure must never be allowed to disturb the integrity of the final cover,
    liner(s) liners, or any other components of the containment system, or the function
    of the facility’s monitoring systems, unless the Agency finds, by way of a permit
    modification, that the disturbance is necessary for either of the following reasons:
     
    1) Is
    It is necessary to the proposed use of the property, and will not increase
    the potential hazard to human health or the environment; or
     
    2) Is
    It is necessary to reduce a threat to human health or the environment.
     
    d) All the post-closure care activities must be in accordance with the provisions of
    the approved post- closure post-closure plan as specified in Section 724.218.

    request for a permit modification to authorize a change in the approved
    post-closure care plan whenever any of the following occurs:
     
    A) Changes in operating plans or facility design affect the post-
    closure care plan;
     
    B) There is a change in the expected year of closure if applicable;
     
    C) Events occur during the active life of the facility, including partial
    and final closures, that affect the approved post-closure care plan;
    or
     
    D) The owner or operator requests establishment of alternative
    requirements to a regulated unit under Section 724.190(f),
    724.210(c), or 724.240(d).
     
    3) The owner or operator shall must submit a written request for a permit
    modification at least 60 days prior to the proposed change in facility
    design or operation, or no later than 60 days after an unexpected event has
    occurred which that has affected the post-closure care plan. An owner or
    operator of a surface impoundment or waste pile that intends to remove all
    hazardous waste at closure and is not otherwise required to submit a
    contingent post-closure care plan under Sections 724.328(c)(1)(B) or
    724.358(c)(1)(B) shall must submit a post-closure care plan to the Agency
    no later than 90 days after the date that the owner or operator or Agency
    determines that the hazardous waste management unit must be closed as a
    landfill, subject to the requirements of Section 724.410. The Agency shall
    must approve, disapprove, or modify this plan in accordance with the
    procedure in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703 and 705. In accordance with 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 703.241, the approved post-closure care plan will become a
    permit condition.
     
    4) The Agency may request modifications to the plan under the conditions
    described in subsection (d)(2) of this Section. The owner or operator shall
    must submit the modified plan no later than 60 days after the request, or

     
     
    291
    no later than 90 days if the unit is a surface impoundment or waste pile not
    previously required to prepare a contingent post-closure care plan. Any
    modifications requested by the Agency shall must be approved,
    disapproved, or modified in accordance with the procedure in 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 703 and 705.

    Section 724.242 Cost Estimate for Closure
     
    a) The owner or operator shall must have detailed a written estimate, in current
    dollars, of the cost of closing facility in accordance with the requirements in
    Sections 724.211 through 724.215 and applicable closure requirements in
    Sections 724.278, 724.297, 724.328, 724.358, 724.380, 724.410, 724.451, and
    724.701 through 724.703, and 724.1102.
     
    1) The estimate must equal the cost of final closure at the point in the
    facility’s active life when the extent and manner of its operation would
    make closure the most expensive, as indicated by its closure plan (see
    Section 724.212(b)); and
     
    2) The closure cost estimate must be based on the costs to the owner or
    operator of hiring a third party to close the facility. A third party is a party
    who is neither a parent nor a subsidiary of the owner or operator. (See
    definition of parent corporation in Section 724.241(d)). The owner or
    operator may use costs for on-site disposal if the owner or operator
    demonstrates that on-site disposal capacity will exist at all times over the
    life of the facility.
     
    3) The closure cost estimate must not incorporate any salvage value that may
    be realized with the sale of hazardous wastes, or non-hazardous wastes if
    applicable under Section 724.213(d), facility structures or equipment, land
    or other assets associated with the facility at the time of partial or final
    closure hazardous wastes that might have economic value.
     
    4) The owner or operator shall must not incorporate a zero cost for hazardous
    wastes, or non-hazardous wastes if applicable under Section 724.213(d),
    that might have economic value.
     
    b) During the active life of the facility, the owner or operator shall must adjust the
    closure cost estimate for inflation within 60 days prior to the anniversary date of
    the establishment of the financial instrument(s) instruments used to comply with
    Section 724.243. For owners and operators using the financial test or corporate
    guarantee, the closure cost estimate must be updated for inflation within 30 days
    after the close of the firm’s fiscal year and before submission of updated
    information to the Agency as specified in Section 724.243(f)(3). The adjustment
    may be made by recalculating the maximum costs of closure in current dollars, or
    by using an inflation factor derived from the annual Implicit Price Deflator for
    Gross National Product as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce in its

     
     
    298
    Survey of Current Business as specified in subsections (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this
    Section. The inflation factor is the result of dividing the latest published annual
    Deflator by the Deflator for the previous year.
     
    1) The first adjustment is made by multiplying the closure cost estimate by
    the inflation factor. The result is the adjusted closure cost estimate.
     
    2) Subsequent adjustments are made by multiplying the latest adjusted
    closure cost estimate by the latest inflation factor.
     
    c) During the active life of the facility the owner or operator shall must revise the
    closure cost estimate no later than 30 days after the Agency has approved the
    request to modify the closure plan, if the change in the closure plan increases the
    cost of closure. The revised closure cost estimate must be adjusted for inflation,
    as specified in Section 724.242(b).
     
    d) The owner or operator shall must keep the following at the facility during the
    operating life of the facility: The the latest closure cost estimate prepared in
    accordance with Sections 724.242(a) and (c) and, when this estimate has been
    adjusted in accordance with Section 724.242(b), the latest adjusted closure cost
    estimate.

    Section 724.243 Financial Assurance For for Closure
     
    An owner or operator of each facility shall must establish financial assurance for closure of the
    facility. The owner or operator shall must choose from the options as that are specified in
    subsections (a) through (f) of this Section.
     
    a) Closure trust fund.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    establishing a closure trust fund which that conforms to the requirements
    of this subsection (a) and submitting an original signed duplicate of the
    trust agreement to the Agency. An owner or operator of a new facility
    shall must submit the original signed duplicate of the trust agreement to
    the Agency at least 60 days before the date on which hazardous waste is
    first received for treatment, storage or disposal. The trustee must be an
    entity which that has the authority to act as a trustee and whose trust
    operations are regulated and examined by a Federal federal or State
    agency.
     

     
     
    299
    2) The wording of the trust agreement must be as that specified in Section
    724.251 and the trust agreement must be accompanied by a formal
    certification of acknowledgment (as specified in Section 724.251).
    Schedule A of the trust agreement must be updated within 60 days after a
    change in the amount of the current closure cost estimate covered by the
    agreement.
     
    3) Payments into the trust fund must be made annually by the owner or
    operator over the term of the initial RCRA permit or over the remaining
    operating life of the facility as estimated in the closure plan, whichever
    period is shorter; this period is hereafter referred to as the “pay-in period.”
    The payments into the closure trust fund must be made as follows:
     
    A) For a new facility, the first payment must be made before the
    initial receipt of hazardous waste for treatment, storage, or
    disposal. A receipt from the trustee for this payment must be
    submitted by the owner or operator to the Agency before this
    initial receipt of hazardous waste. The first payment must be at
    least equal to the current closure cost estimate, except as provided
    in subsection (g) of this Section, divided by the number of years in
    the pay-in period. Subsequent payments must be made no later
    than 30 days after each anniversary date of the first payment. The
    amount of each subsequent payment must be determined by this
    the following formula:
     
    Next payment = (CE - CV) / Y
     
    where CE is the current closure cost estimate, CV is the current
    value of the trust fund and Y is the number of years remaining in
    the pay-in period.
     
    where CE is the current closure cost estimate, CV is the
    current value of the trust fund and Y is the number of years
    remaining in the pay-in period.
     
    B) If an owner or operator establishes a trust fund as specified in 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 725.243(a) and the value of that trust fund is less
    than the current closure cost estimate when a permit is awarded for
    the facility, the amount of the current closure cost estimate still to
    be paid into the trust fund must be paid in over the pay-in period as
    defined in subsection (a)(3) of this Section. Payments must
    continue to be made no later than 30 days after each anniversary
    date of the first payment made pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.

     
     
    300
    The amount of each payment must be determined by this the
    following formula:
     
    Next payment = (CE - CV) / Y
     
    where CE is the current closure cost estimate, CV is the current
    value of the trust fund, and Y is the number of years remaining in
    the pay-in period.
     
    where CE is the current closure cost estimate, CV is the
    current value of the trust fund, and Y is the number of years
    remaining in the pay-in period.
     
    4) The owner or operator may accelerate payments into the trust fund or may
    deposit the full amount of the current closure cost estimate at the time the
    fund is established. However, the owner or operator shall must maintain
    the value of the fund at no less than the value that the fund would have if
    annual payments were made as specified in subsection (a)(3) of this
    Section.
     
    5) If the owner or operator establishes a closure trust fund after having used
    one or more alternate mechanisms specified in this Section or in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 725.243, its first payment must be in at least the amount that
    the fund would contain if the trust fund were established initially and
    annual payments made according to specifications of this subsection (a)
    and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.243, as applicable.
     
    6) After the pay-in period is completed, whenever the current closure cost
    estimate changes, the owner or operator shall must compare the new
    estimate with the trustee’s most recent annual valuation of the trust fund.
    If the value of the fund is less than the amount of the new estimate, the
    owner or operator, within 60 days after the change in the cost estimate,
    shall must either deposit an amount into the fund so that its value after this
    deposit at least equals the amount of the current closure cost estimate, or
    obtain other financial assurance as specified in this Section to cover the
    difference.
     
    7) If the value of the trust fund is greater than the total amount of the current
    closure cost estimate, the owner or operator may submit a written request
    to the Agency for release of the amount in excess of the current closure
    cost estimate.
     
    8) If an owner or operator substitutes other financial assurance, as specified
    in this Section for all or part of the trust fund, it may submit a written

     
     
    301
    request to the Agency for release of the amount in excess of the current
    closure cost estimate covered by the trust fund.
     
    9) Within 60 days after receiving a request from the owner or operator for
    release of funds as specified in subsections subsection (a)(7) or (a)(8) of
    this Section, the Agency shall must instruct the trustee to release to the
    owner or operator such funds as the Agency specifies in writing.
     
    10) After beginning partial or final closure, an owner or operator or another
    person authorized to conduct partial or final closure may request
    reimbursement for closure expenditures by submitting itemized bills to the
    Agency. The owner or operator may request reimbursement for partial
    closure only if sufficient funds are remaining in the trust fund to cover the
    maximum costs of closing the facility over its remaining operating life.
    Within 60 days after receiving bills for partial or final closure activities,
    the Agency shall must instruct the trustee to make reimbursement in those
    amounts as the Agency specifies in writing if the Agency determines that
    the partial or final closure expenditures are in accordance with the
    approved closure plan, or otherwise justified. If the Agency determines
    that the maximum cost of closure over the remaining life of the facility
    will be significantly greater than the value of the trust fund, it shall must
    withhold reimbursement of such amounts as it deems prudent until it
    determines, in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section, that the
    owner or operator is no longer required to maintain financial assurance for
    final closure of the facility. If the Agency does not instruct the trustee to
    make such reimbursements, the Agency shall must provide the owner or
    operator with a detailed written statement of reasons.
     
    11) The Agency shall must agree to termination of the trust when either of the
    following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate financial assurance, as
    specified in this Section; or
     
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i).
     
    b) Surety bond guaranteeing payment into a closure trust fund.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining a surety bond which that conforms to the requirements of this
    subsection (b) and submitting the bond to the Agency. An owner or
    operator of a new facility shall must submit the bond to the Agency at
    least 60 days before the date on which hazardous waste is first received

     
     
    302
    for treatment, storage or disposal. The bond must be effective before this
    initial receipt of hazardous waste. The surety company issuing the bond
    must, at a minimum, be among those listed as acceptable sureties on
    Federal bonds in Circular 570 of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
     
    2) The wording of the surety bond must be as that specified in Section
    724.251.
     
    3) The owner or operator who uses a surety bond to satisfy the requirements
    of this Section shall must also establish a standby trust fund. Under the
    terms of the bond, all payments made thereunder will be deposited by the
    surety directly into the standby trust fund in accordance with instructions
    from the Agency. This standby trust fund must meet the requirements
    specified in subsection (a) of this Section except that as follows:
     
    A) An original, signed duplicate of the trust agreement must be
    submitted to the Agency with the surety bond; and
     
    B) Until the standby trust fund is funded pursuant to the requirements
    of this Section, the following are not required by these regulations:
     
    i) Payments into the trust fund as specified in subsection (a)
    of this Section;
     
    ii) Updating of Schedule A of the trust agreement (see 40 CFR
    264.151(a)) to show current closure cost estimates;
     
    iii) Annual valuations, as required by the trust agreement; and
     
    iv) Notices of nonpayment as required by the trust agreement.
     
    4) The bond must guarantee that the owner or operator will do one of the
    following:
     
    A) Fund the standby trust fund in an amount equal to the penal sum of
    the bond before the beginning of final closure of the facility; or
     
    B) Fund the standby trust fund in an amount equal to the penal sum
    within 15 days after an order to begin final closure is issued by the
    Board or a U.S. district court or other court of competent
    jurisdiction; or
     
    C) Provide alternate financial assurance as specified in this Section,
    and obtain the Agency’s written approval of the assurance

     
     
    303
    provided, within 90 days after receipt by both the owner or
    operator and the Agency of a notice of cancellation of the bond
    from the surety.
     
    5) Under the terms of the bond, the surety will become liable on the bond
    obligation when the owner or operator fails to perform as guaranteed by
    the bond.
     
    6) The penal sum of the bond must be in an amount at least equal to the
    current closure cost estimate, except as provided in subsection (g) of this
    Section.
     
    7) Whenever the current closure cost estimate increases to an amount greater
    than the penal sum, the owner or operator, within 60 days after the
    increase, shall must either cause the penal sum to be increased to an
    amount at least equal to the current closure cost estimate and submit
    evidence of such increase to the Agency or obtain other financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section, to cover the increase. Whenever
    the current closure cost estimate decreases, the penal sum may be reduced
    to the amount of the current closure cost estimate following written
    approval by the Agency.
     
    8) Under the terms of the bond, the surety may cancel the bond by sending
    notice of cancellation by certified mail to the owner or operator and to the
    Agency. Cancellation may not occur, however, during the 120 days
    beginning on the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by both the
    owner or operator and the Agency, as evidence by the return receipts.
     
    9) The owner or operator may cancel the bond if the Agency has given prior
    written consent based on its receipt of evidence of alternate financial
    assurance as specified in this Section.
     
    c) Surety bond guaranteeing performance of closure.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining a surety bond which that conforms to the requirements of this
    subsection (c) and submitting the bond to the Agency. An owner or
    operator of a new facility shall must submit the bond to the Agency at
    least 60 days before the date on which hazardous waste is first received
    for treatment, storage, or disposal. The bond must be effective before this
    initial receipt of hazardous waste. The surety company issuing the bond
    must, at a minimum, be among those listed as acceptable sureties on
    Federal bonds in Circular 570 of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
     

     
     
    304
    2) The wording of the surety bond must be as that specified in Section
    724.251.
     
    3) The owner or operator who uses a surety bond to satisfy the requirements
    of this Section shall must also establish a standby trust fund. Under the
    terms of the bond, all payments made thereunder will be deposited by the
    surety directly into the standby trust fund in accordance with instructions
    from the Agency. This standby trust must meet the requirements specified
    in subsection (a) of this Section, except that as follows:
     
    A) An original, signed duplicate of the trust agreement must be
    submitted to the Agency with the surety bond; and
     
    B) Unless the standby trust fund is funded pursuant to the
    requirements of this Section, the following are not required by
    these regulations:
     
    i) Payments into the trust fund, as specified in subsection (a)
    of this Section;
     
    ii) Updating of Schedule A of the trust agreement (as specified
    in Section 724.251) to show current closure cost estimates;
     
    iii) Annual valuations, as required by the trust agreement; and
     
    iv) Notices of nonpayment, as required by the trust agreement.
     
    4) The bond must guarantee that the owner or operator will do the following:
     
    A) Perform final closure in accordance with the closure plan and other
    requirements of the permit for the facility whenever required to do
    so; or
     
    B) Provide alternate
    alternative financial assurance, as specified in
    this Section, and obtain the Agency’s written approval of the
    assurance provided, within 90 days after receipt by both the owner
    or operator and the Agency of a notice of cancellation of the bond
    from the surety.
     
    5) Under the terms of the bond, the surety will become liable on the bond
    obligation when the owner or operator fails to perform as guaranteed by
    the bond. Following a final judicial determination or Board order finding
    that the owner or operator has failed to perform final closure in
    accordance with the approved closure plan and other permit requirements

     
     
    305
    when required to do so, under the terms of the bond the surety will
    perform final closure, as guaranteed by the bond, or will deposit the
    amount of the penal sum into the standby trust fund.
     
    6) The penal sum of the bond must be in an amount at least equal to the
    current closure cost estimate.
     
    7) Whenever the current closure cost estimate increases to an amount greater
    than the penal sum, the owner or operator, within 60 days after the
    increase, shall must either cause the penal sum to be increased to an
    amount at least equal to the current closure cost estimate and submit
    evidence of such increase to the Agency or obtain other financial
    assurance as specified in this Section. Whenever the current closure cost
    estimate decreases, the penal sum may be reduced to the amount of the
    current closure cost estimate following written approval by the Agency.
     
    8) Under the terms of the bond, the surety may cancel the bond by sending
    notice of cancellation by certified mail to the owner or operator and to the
    Agency. Cancellation may not occur, however, during the 120 days
    beginning on the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by both the
    owner or operator and the Agency, as evidenced by the return receipts.
     
    9) The owner or operator may cancel the bond if the Agency has given prior
    written consent. The Agency shall must provide such written consent
    when either of the following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section; or
     
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    10) The surety shall must not be liable for deficiencies in the performance of
    closure by the owner or operator after the Agency releases the owner or
    operator from the requirements of this Section in accordance with
    subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    d) Closure letter of credit.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining an irrevocable standby letter of credit which that conforms to
    the requirements of this subsection (d) and submitting the letter to the
    Agency. An owner or operator of a new facility shall must submit the
    letter of credit to the Agency at least 60 days before the date on which

     
     
    306
    hazardous waste is first received for treatment, storage, or disposal. The
    letter of credit must be effective before this initial receipt of hazardous
    waste. The issuing institution must be an entity which that has the
    authority to issue letters of credit and whose letter-of-credit operations are
    regulated and examined by a Federal federal or State state agency.
     
    2) The wording of the letter of credit must be as that specified in Section
    724.251.
     
    3) An owner or operator who uses a letter of credit to satisfy the
    requirements of this Section shall must also establish a standby trust fund.
    Under the terms of the letter of credit, all amounts paid pursuant to a draft
    by the Agency will must be deposited by the issuing institution directly
    into the standby trust fund in accordance with instructions from the
    Agency. This standby trust fund must meet the requirements of the trust
    fund specified in subsection (a) of this Section, except that as follows:
     
    A) An original, signed duplicate of the trust agreement must be
    submitted to the Agency with the letter of credit; and
     
    B) Unless the standby trust fund is funded pursuant to the
    requirements of this Section, the following are not required by
    these regulations.
     
    i) Payments into the trust fund, as specified in subsection (a)
    of this Section;
     
    ii) Updating of Schedule A of the trust agreement (as specified
    in Section 724.251) to show current closure cost estimates;
     
    iii) Annual valuations, as required by the trust agreement; and
     
    iv) Notices of nonpayment, as required by the trust agreement.
     
    4) The letter or credit must be accompanied by a letter from the owner or
    operator referring to the letter of credit by number, issuing institution, and
    date and providing the following information: the EPA Identification
    Number USEPA identification number, name and address of the facility,
    and the amount of funds assured for closure of the facility by the letter of
    credit.
     
    5) The letter of credit must be irrevocable and issued for a period of at least 1
    one year. The letter of credit must provide that the expiration date will be
    automatically extended for a period of at least 1 one year unless, at least

     
     
    307
    120 days before the current expiration date, the issuing institution notifies
    both the owner or operator and the Agency by certified mail of a decision
    not to extend the expiration date. Under the terms of the letter of credit,
    the 120 days will begin on the date when both the owner or operator and
    the Agency have received the notice, as evidenced by the return receipts.
     
    6) The letter of credit must be issued in an amount at least equal to the
    current closure cost estimate, except as provided in subsection (g) of this
    Section.
     
    7) Whenever the current closure cost estimate increases to an amount greater
    than the amount of the credit, the owner or operator, within 60 days after
    the increase, shall must either cause the amount of the credit to be
    increased so that it at least equals the current closure cost estimate and
    submit evidence of such increase to the Agency, or obtain other financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section, to cover the increase. Whenever
    the current closure cost estimate decreases, the amount of the credit may
    be reduced to the amount of the current closure cost estimate following
    written approval by the Agency.
     
    8) Following a final judicial determination or Board order finding that the
    owner or operator has failed to perform final closure in accordance with
    the closure plan and other permit requirements when required to do so, the
    Agency may draw on the letter of credit.
     
    9) If the owner or operator does not establish alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section, and obtain written approval of such
    alternate alternative assurance from the Agency within 90 days after
    receipt by both the owner or operator and the Agency of a notice from
    issuing institution that it has decided not to extend the letter of credit
    beyond the current expiration date, the Agency shall must draw on the
    letter of credit. The Agency may delay the drawing if the issuing
    institution grants an extension of the term of the credit. During the last 30
    days of any such extension the Agency shall must draw on the letter of
    credit if the owner or operator has failed to provide alternate alternative
    financial assurance, as specified in this Section, and obtain written
    approval of such assurance from the Agency.
     
    10) The Agency shall must return the letter of credit to the issuing institution
    for termination when either of the following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section; or
     

     
     
    308
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    e) Closure insurance.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining closure insurance which that conforms to the requirements of
    this subsection (e) and submitting a certificate of such insurance to the
    Agency. An owner or operator of a new facility shall must submit the
    certificate of insurance to the Agency at least 60 days before the date on
    which hazardous waste is first received for treatment, storage, or disposal.
    The insurance must be effective before this initial receipt of hazardous
    waste. At a minimum, the insurer must be licensed to transact the
    business of insurance, or be eligible to provide insurance as an excess or
    surplus lines insurer, in one or more States.
     
    2) The wording of the certificate of insurance must be as that specified in
    Section 724.251.
     
    3) The closure insurance policy must be issued for a face amount at least
    equal to the current closure cost estimate, except as provided in subsection
    (g) of this Section. The term “face amount” means the total amount the
    insurer is obligated to pay under the policy. Actual payments by the
    insurer will not change the face amount, although the insurer’s future
    liability will be lowered by the amount of the payments.
     
    4) The closure insurance policy must guarantee that funds will be available
    to close the facility whenever final closure occurs. The policy must also
    guarantee that, once final closure begins, the insurer will be responsible
    for paying out funds, up to an amount equal to the face amount of the
    policy, upon the direction of the Agency to such party or parties, as the
    Agency specifies.
     
    5) After beginning partial or final closure, an owner or operator or any other
    person authorized to conduct closure may request reimbursement for
    closure expenditures by submitting itemized bills to the Agency. The
    owner or operator may request reimbursements for partial closure only if
    the remaining value of the policy is sufficient to cover the maximum costs
    of closing the facility over its remaining operating life. Within 60 days
    after receiving bills for closure activities, the Agency shall must instruct
    the insurer to make reimbursement in such amounts, as the Agency
    specifies in writing, if the Agency determines that the partial or final
    closure expenditures are in accordance with the approved closure plan or
    otherwise justified. If the Agency determines that the maximum cost of

     
     
    309
    closure over the remaining life of the facility will be significantly greater
    than the face amount of the policy, it shall must withhold reimbursement
    of such amounts as that it deems prudent, until it determines, in
    accordance with subsection (i) of this Section, that the owner or operator
    is no longer required to maintain financial assurance for closure of the
    facility. If the Agency does not instruct the insurer to make such
    reimbursements, the Agency shall must provide the owner or operator
    with a detailed written statement of reasons.
     
    6) The owner or operator shall must maintain the policy in full force and
    effect until the Agency consents to termination of the policy by the owner
    or operator, as specified in subsection (e)(10) of this Section. Failure to
    pay the premium, without substitution of alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section, will constitute a significant
    violation of these regulations, warranting such remedy as the Board may
    impose pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act. Such violation will
    be deemed to begin upon receipt by the Agency of a notice of future
    cancellation, termination or failure to renew due to nonpayment of the
    premium, rather than upon the date of expiration.
     
    7) Each policy must contain a provision allowing assignment of the policy to
    a successor owner or operator. Such assignment may be conditional upon
    consent of the insurer, provided such consent is not unreasonably refused.
     
    8) The policy must provide that the insurer may not cancel, terminate, or fail
    to renew the policy except for failure to pay the premium. The automatic
    renewal of the policy must, at a minimum, provide the insured with the
    option of renewal at the face amount of the expiring policy. If there is a
    failure to pay the premium, the insurer may elect to cancel, terminate, or
    fail to renew the policy by sending notice by certified mail to the owner or
    operator and the Agency. Cancellation, termination, or failure to renew
    may not occur, however, during the 120 days beginning with the date of
    receipt of the notice by both the Agency and the owner or operator, as
    evidenced by the return receipts. Cancellation, termination, or failure to
    renew may not occur, and the policy will remain in full force and effect, in
    the event that on or before the date of expiration one of the following
    occurs:
     
    A) The Agency deems the facility abandoned; or
     
    B) The permit is terminated or revoked or a new permit is denied; or
     
    C) Closure is ordered by the Board or a U.S. district court or other
    court of competent jurisdiction; or

     
     
    310
     
    D) The owner or operator is named as debtor in a voluntary or
    involuntary proceeding under Title 11 U.S.C. of the United States
    Code (Bankruptcy); or
     
    E) The premium due is paid.
     
    9) Whenever the current closure cost estimate increases to an amount greater
    than the face amount of the policy, the owner or operator, within 60 days
    after the increase, shall must either cause the face amount to be increased
    to an amount at least equal to the current closure cost estimate and submit
    evidence of such increase to the Agency, or obtain other financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section to cover the increase. Whenever the
    current closure cost estimate decreases, the face amount may be reduced
    to the amount of the current closure cost estimate following written
    approval by the Agency.
     
    10) The Agency shall must give written consent to the owner or operator that
    it may terminate the insurance policy when either of the following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section; or
     
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    f) Financial test and corporate guarantee for closure.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    demonstrating that it passes a financial test, as specified in this subsection
    (f). To pass this test the owner or operator shall must meet the criteria of
    either subsection (f)(1)(A) or (f)(1)(B) of this Section:
     
    A) The owner or operator shall must have the following:
     
    i) Two of the following three ratios: a ratio of total liabilities
    to net worth less than 2.0; a ratio of the sum of net income
    plus depreciation, depletion and amortization to total
    liabilities greater than 0.1; and a ratio of current assets to
    current liabilities greater than 1.5; and
     
    ii) Net working capital and tangible net worth each at least six
    times the sum of the current closure and post-closure cost

     
     
    311
    estimates; and the current plugging and abandonment cost
    estimates; and
     
    iii) Tangible net worth of at least $10 million; and
     
    iv) Assets located in the United States amounting to at least 90
    percent of total assets or at least six times the sum of the
    current closure and post-closure cost estimates and the
    current plugging and abandonment cost estimates.
     
    B) The owner or operator shall must have the following:
     
    i) A current rating for its most recent bond issuance of AAA,
    AA, A, or BBB as issued by Standard and Poor’s or Aaa,
    Aa, A, or Baa as issued by Moody’s; and
     
    ii) Tangible net worth at least six times the sum of the current
    closure and post-closure cost estimates and the current
    plugging and abandonment cost estimates; and
     
    iii) Tangible net worth of at least $10 million; and
     
    iv) Assets located in the United States amounting to at least 90
    percent of total assets or at least six times the sum of the
    current closure and post-closure estimates and the current
    plugging and abandonment cost estimates.
     
    2) The phrase “current closure and post-closure cost estimates,” as used in
    subsection (f)(1) of this Section, refers to the cost estimates required to be
    shown in subsections 1-4 of the letter from the owner’s or operator’s chief
    financial officer (40 CFR 264.151(f)) (incorporated by reference in
    Section 724.251). The phrase “current plugging and abandonment cost
    estimates,” as used in subsection (f)(1) of this Section, refers to the cost
    estimates required to be shown in subsections 1-4 of the letter from the
    owner’s or operator’s chief financial officer (40 CFR 144.70(f)),
    incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 704.240).
     
    3) To demonstrate that it meets this test, the owner or operator shall must
    submit the following items to the Agency:
     
    A) A letter signed by the owner’s or operator’s chief financial officer
    and worded as specified in Section 724.251; and
     

     
     
    312
    B) A copy of the independent certified public accountant’s report on
    examination of the owner’s or operator’s financial statements for
    the latest completed fiscal year; and
     
    C) A special report from the owner’s or operator’s independent
    certified public accountant to the owner or operator stating that the
    following:
     
    i) The
    That the accountant has compared the data which that
    the letter from the chief financial officer specifies as having
    been derived from the independently audited, year-end
    financial statements for the latest fiscal year with the
    amounts in such financial statements; and
     
    ii) In connection with that procedure, that no matters came to
    the accountant’s attention which caused the accountant to
    believe that the specified data should be adjusted.
     
    4) An owner or operator of a new facility shall must submit the items
    specified in subsection (f)(3) of this Section to the Agency at least 60 days
    before the date on which hazardous waste is first received for treatment,
    storage, or disposal.
     
    5) After the initial submission of items specified in subsection (f)(3) of this
    Section, the owner or operator shall must send updated information to the
    Agency within 90 days after the close of each succeeding fiscal year. This
    information must consist of all three items specified in subsection (f)(3) of
    this Section.
     
    6) If the owner or operator no longer meets the requirements of subsection
    (f)(1) of this Section the owner or operator shall must send notice to the
    Agency of intent to establish alternate alternative financial assurance, as
    specified in this Section. The notice must be sent by certified mail within
    90 days after the end of the fiscal year for which the year-end financial
    data show that the owner or operator no longer meets the requirements.
    The owner or operator shall must provide the alternate alternative
    financial assurance within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year.
     
    7) The Agency may, based on a reasonable belief that the owner or operator
    may no longer meet the requirements of subsection (f)(1) of this Section,
    require reports of financial condition at any time from the owner or
    operator in addition to those specified in subsection (f)(3) of this Section.
    If the Agency finds, on the basis of such reports or other information, that
    the owner or operator no longer meets the requirements of subsection

     
     
    313
    (f)(1) of this Section, the owner or operator shall must provide alternate
    alternative financial assurance, as specified in this Section, within 30 days
    after notification of such a finding.
     
    8) The Agency may disallow use of this test on the basis of qualifications in
    the opinion expressed by the independent certified public accountant in
    the accountant’s report on examination of the owner’s or operator’s
    financial statements (see subsection (f)(3)(B) of this Section). An adverse
    opinion or a disclaimer of opinion will be cause for disallowance. The
    Agency shall must evaluate other qualifications on an individual basis.
    The owner or operator shall must provide alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section, within 30 days after notification of
    the disallowance.
     
    9) The owner or operator is no longer required to submit the items specified
    in subsection (f)(3) of this Section when either of the following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section; or
     
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    10) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining a written guarantee, hereafter referred to as “corporate
    guarantee.” The guarantor must be the direct or higher-tier parent
    corporation of the owner or operator, a firm whose parent corporation is
    also the parent corporation of the owner or operator, or a firm with a
    “substantial business relationship” with the owner or operator. The
    guarantor shall must meet the requirements for owners or operators in
    subsections (f)(1) through (f)(8) of this Section, shall must comply with
    the terms of the corporate guarantee, and the wording of the corporate
    guarantee must be as that specified in Section 724.251. The certified copy
    of the corporate guarantee must accompany the items sent to the Agency,
    as specified in subsection (f)(3) of this Section. One of these items must
    be the letter from the guarantor’s chief financial officer. If the guarantor’s
    parent corporation is also the parent corporation of the owner or operator,
    the letter must describe the value received in consideration of the
    guarantee. If the guarantor is a firm with a “substantial business
    relationship” with the owner or operator, this letter must describe this
    “substantial business relationship” and the value received in consideration
    of the guarantee. The terms of the corporate guarantee must provide that
    as follows:
     

     
     
    314
    A) If the owner or operator fails to perform final closure of a facility
    covered by the corporate guarantee in accordance with the closure
    plan and other permit requirements whenever required to do so, the
    guarantor will do so or establish a trust fund, as specified in
    subsection (a) of this Section, in the name of the owner or
    operator.
     
    B) The corporate guarantee will remain in force unless the guarantor
    sends notice of cancellation by certified mail to the owner or
    operator and to the Agency. Cancellation may not occur, however,
    during the 120 days beginning on the date of receipt of the notice
    of cancellation by both the owner or operator and the Agency, as
    evidenced by the return receipts.
     
    C) If the owner or operator fails to provide alternate alternative
    financial assurance as specified in this Section and obtain the
    written approval of such alternate alternative assurance from the
    Agency within 90 days after receipt by both the owner or operator
    and the Agency of a notice of cancellation of the corporate
    guarantee from the guarantor, the guarantor will provide such
    alternative financial assurance in the name of the owner or
    operator.
     
    g) Use of multiple financial mechanisms. An owner or operator may satisfy the
    requirements of this Section by establishing more than one financial mechanism
    per facility. These mechanisms are limited to trust funds, surety bonds
    guaranteeing payment into a trust fund, letters of credit, and insurance. The
    mechanisms must be as specified in subsections (a), (b), (d), and (e) of this
    Section, respectively, except that it is the combination of mechanisms, rather than
    the single mechanism, which that must provide financial assurance for an amount
    at least equal to the current closure cost estimate. If an owner or operator uses a
    trust fund in combination with a surety bond or a letter of credit, it may use the
    trust fund as the standby trust fund for the other mechanisms. A single standby
    trust fund may be established for two or more mechanisms. The Agency may use
    any or all of the mechanisms to provide for closure of the facility.
     
    h) Use of a financial mechanism for multiple facilities. An owner or operator may
    use a financial assurance mechanism specified in this Section to meet the
    requirements of this Section for more than one facility. Evidence of financial
    assurance submitted to the Agency must include a list showing, for each facility,
    the EPA Identification Number USEPA identification number, name, address, and
    the amount of funds for closure assured by the mechanism. The amount of funds
    available through the mechanism must be no less than the sum of funds that
    would be available if a separate mechanism had been established and maintained

     
     
    315
    for each facility. The amount of funds available to the Agency must be sufficient
    to close all of the owner or operator’s facilities. In directing funds available
    through the mechanism for closure of any of the facilities covered by the
    mechanism, the Agency may direct only the amount of funds designated for that
    facility, unless the owner or operator agrees to the use of additional funds
    available under the mechanism.
     
    i) Release of the owner or operator from the requirements of this Section. Within
    60 days after receiving certifications from the owner or operator and an
    independent registered professional engineer that final approved closure has been
    accomplished in accordance with the closure plan, the Agency shall must notify
    the owner or operator in writing that it is no longer required by this Section to
    maintain financial assurance for closure of the facility, unless the Agency
    determines that closure has not been in accordance with the approved closure
    plan. The Agency shall must provide the owner or operator a detailed written
    statement of any such determination that closure has not been in accordance with
    the approved closure plan.
     
    j) Appeal. The following Agency actions are deemed to be permit modifications or
    refusals to modify for purposes of appeal to the Board (35 Ill. Adm. Code
    702.184(e)(3)):
     
    1) An increase in, or a refusal to decrease the amount of, a bond, letter of
    credit, or insurance;
     
    2) Requiring alternate
    alternative assurance upon a finding that an owner or
    operator, or parent corporation, no longer meets a financial test.

    Section 724.244 Cost Estimate for Post-closure Post-Closure Care
     
    a) The owner or operator of a disposal surface impoundment, disposal miscellaneous
    unit, land treatment unit, or landfill unit, or the owner or operator of a surface
    impoundment or waste pile required under Sections 724.328 or 724.358 to
    prepare a contingent closure and post-closure plan shall must have a detailed
    written estimate, in current dollars, of the annual cost of post-closure monitoring
    and maintenance of the facility in accordance with the applicable post-closure
    regulations in Sections 724.217 through 724.220, 724.328, 724.358, 724.380,
    724.410, and 724.603.
     
    1) The post-closure cost estimate must be based on the costs to the owner or
    operator of hiring a third party to conduct post-closure care activities. A

     
     
    316
    third party is a party who is neither a parent nor a subsidiary of the owner
    or operator. (See definition of parent corporation in Section 724.241(d)).
     
    2) The post-closure cost estimate is calculated by multiplying the annual
    post-closure cost estimate by the number of years of post-closure care
    required under Section 724.217.
     
    b) During the active life of the facility, the owner or operator shall must adjust the
    post-closure cost estimate for inflation within 60 days prior to the anniversary
    date of the establishment of the financial instrument(s) instruments used to
    comply with Section 724.245. For owners or operators using the financial test or
    corporate guarantee, the post-closure cost estimate must be updated for inflation
    within 30 days after the close of the firm’s fiscal year and before the submission
    of updated information to the Agency, as specified in Section 724.245(f)(5). The
    adjustment may be made by recalculating the post-closure cost estimate in current
    dollars or by using an inflation factor derived from the annual Implicit Price
    Deflator for Gross National Product, as published by the U.S. Department of
    Commerce in its Survey of Current Business, as specified in subsections (b)(1)
    and (b)(2) of this Section. The inflation factor is the result of dividing the latest
    published annual Deflator by the Deflator for the previous year.
     
    1) The first adjustment is made by multiplying the post-closure cost estimate
    by the inflation factor. The result is the adjusted post-closure cost
    estimate.
     
    2) Subsequent adjustments are made by multiplying the latest adjusted post-
    closure cost estimate by the latest inflation factor.
     
    c) During the active life of the facility the owner or operator shall must revise the
    post-closure cost estimate within 30 days after the Agency has approved a request
    to modify the post-closure plan, if the change in the post-closure plan increases
    the cost of post-closure care. The revised post-closure cost estimate must be
    adjusted for inflation, as specified in Section 724.244(b).
     
    d) The owner or operator shall must keep the following at the facility during the
    operating life of the facility: The latest post-closure cost estimate prepared in
    accordance with Section 724.244(a) and (c) and, when this estimate has been
    adjusted in accordance with Section 724.244(b), the latest adjusted post-closure
    cost estimate.

    317
    Section 724.245 Financial Assurance For Post-closure for Post-Closure Care
     
    An owner or operator of a hazardous waste management unit subject to the requirements of
    Section 724.244 shall must establish financial assurance for post-closure care in accordance with
    the approved post-closure plan for the facility 60 days prior to the initial receipt of hazardous
    waste or the effective date of the regulation, whichever is later. The owner or operator shall
    must choose from among the following options:
     
    a) Post-closure trust fund.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    establishing a post-closure trust fund which that conforms to the
    requirements of this subsection (a) and submitting an original, signed
    duplicate of the trust agreement to the Agency. An owner or operator of a
    new facility shall must submit the original, signed duplicate of the trust
    agreement to the Agency at least 60 days before the date on which
    hazardous waste is first received for disposal. The trustee must be an
    entity which that has the authority to act as a trustee and whose trust
    operations are regulated and examined by a Federal federal or State
    agency.
     
    2) The wording of the trust agreement must be as that specified in Section
    724.251 and the trust agreement accompanied by a formal certification of
    acknowledgment (as specified in Section 724.251). Schedule A of the
    trust agreement must be updated within 60 days after a change in the
    amount of the current post-closure cost estimate covered by the
    agreement.
     
    3) Payments into the trust fund must be made annually by the owner or
    operator over the term of the initial RCRA permit or over the remaining
    operating life of the facility as estimated in the closure plan, whichever
    period is shorter; this period is hereafter referred to as the “pay-in period.”
    The payments into the post-closure trust fund must be made as follows:
     
    A) For a new facility, the first payment must be made before the
    initial receipt of hazardous waste for disposal. A receipt from the
    trustee for this payment must be submitted by the owner or
    operator to the Agency before this initial receipt of hazardous
    waste. The first payment must be at least equal to the current post-
    closure cost estimate, except as provided in subsection (g) of this
    Section, divided by the number of years in the pay-in period.
    Subsequent payments must be made no later than 30 days after
    each anniversary date of the first payment. The amount of each

     
     
    318
    subsequent payment must be determined by this the following
    formula:
     
    Next payment = (CE - CV) / Y
     
    where CE is the current post-closure cost estimate, CV is the
    current value of the trust fund, and Y is the number of years
    remaining in the pay-in period.
     
    where CE is the current post-closure cost estimate, CV is
    the current value of the trust fund, and Y is the number of
    years remaining in the pay-in period.
     
    B) If an owner or operator establishes a trust fund, as specified in 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 725.245(a), and the value of that trust fund is less
    than the current post-closure cost estimate when a permit is
    awarded for the facility, the amount of the current post-closure cost
    estimate still to be paid into the trust fund must be paid in over the
    pay-in period as defined in subsection (a)(3) of this Section.
    Payments must continue to be made no later than 30 days after
    each anniversary date of the first payment made pursuant to 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 725. The amount of each payment must be determined
    by this the following formula:
     
    Next payment = (CE - CV) / Y
     
    where CE is the current post-closure cost estimate, CV is the
    current value of the trust fund, and Y is the number of years
    remaining in the pay-in period.
     
    where CE is the current post-closure cost estimate, CV is
    the current value of the trust fund, and Y is the number of
    years remaining in the pay-in period.
     
    4) The owner or operator may accelerate payments into the trust fund or
    owner or operator shall must maintain the value of the fund at no less than
    the value that the fund would have if annual payments were made as
    specified in subsection (a)(3) of this Section.
     
    5) If the owner or operator establishes a post-closure trust fund after having
    used one or more alternate alternative mechanisms specified in this
    Section or in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.245, its first payment must be in at
    least the amount that the fund would contain if the trust fund were

     
     
    319
    established initially and annual payments made according to specifications
    of this subsection (a) and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.245, as applicable.
     
    6) After the pay-in period is completed, whenever the current post-closure
    cost estimate changes during the operating life of the facility, the owner or
    operator shall must compare the new estimate with the trustee’s most
    recent annual valuation of the trust fund. If the value of the fund is less
    than the amount of the new estimate, the owner or operator, within 60
    days after the change in the cost estimate, shall must either deposit an
    amount into the fund so that its value after this deposit at least equals the
    amount of the current post-closure cost estimate, or obtain other financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section, to cover the difference.
     
    7) During the operating life of the facility, if the value of the trust fund is
    greater than the total amount of the current post-closure cost estimate, the
    owner or operator may submit a written request to the Agency for release
    of the amount in excess of the current post-closure cost estimate.
     
    8) If an owner or operator substitutes other financial assurance as specified in
    this Section for all or part of the trust fund, it may submit a written request
    to the Agency for release of the amount in excess of the current post-
    closure cost estimate covered by the trust fund.
     
    9) Within 60 days after receiving a request from the owner or operator for
    release of funds, as specified in subsections subsection (a)(7) or (a)(8) of
    this Section, the Agency shall must instruct the trustee to release to the
    owner or operator such funds as the Agency specifies in writing.
     
    10) During the period of post-closure care, the Agency shall must approve a
    release of funds if the owner or operator demonstrates to the Agency that
    the value of the trust fund exceeds the remaining cost of post-closure care.
     
    11) An owner or operator or any other person authorized to perform post-
    closure care may request reimbursement for post-closure care
    expenditures by submitting itemized bills to the Agency. Within 60 days
    after receiving bills for post-closure activities, the Agency shall must
    instruct the trustee to make requirements in those amounts as that the
    Agency specifies in writing if the Agency determines that the post-closure
    care expenditures are in accordance with the approved post-closure plan or
    otherwise justified. If the Agency does not instruct the trustee to make
    such reimbursements, the Agency shall must provide the owner or
    operator with a detailed written statement of reasons.
     

     
     
    320
    12) The Agency shall must agree to termination of the trust when either of the
    following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section; or
     
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    b) Surety bond guaranteeing payment into a post-closure trust fund.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining a surety bond which that conforms to the requirements of this
    subsection (b) and submitting the bond to the Agency. An owner or
    operator of a new facility shall must submit the bond to the Agency at
    least 60 days before the date on which hazardous waste is first received
    for disposal. The bond must be effective before this initial receipt of
    hazardous waste. The surety company issuing the bond must, at a
    minimum, be among those listed as acceptable sureties on Federal bonds
    in Circular 570 of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
     
    2) The wording of the surety bond must be as that specified in Section
    724.251.
     
    3) The owner or operator who uses a surety bond to satisfy the requirements
    of this Section shall must also establish a standby trust fund. Under the
    terms of the bond, all payments made thereunder will be deposited by the
    surety directly into the standby trust fund in accordance with instructions
    from the Agency. This standby trust fund must meet the requirements
    specified in subsection (a) of this Section, except that as follows:
     
    A) An original, signed duplicate of the trust agreement must be
    submitted to the Agency with the surety bond; and
     
    B) Until the standby trust fund is funded pursuant to the requirements
    of this Section, the following are not required by these regulations:
     
    i) Payments into the trust fund, as specified in subsection (a)
    of this Section;
     
    ii) Updating of Schedule A of the trust agreement (as specified
    in Section 724.251) to show current post-closure cost
    estimates;
     

     
     
    321
    iii) Annual valuations, as required by the trust agreement; and
     
    iv) Notices of nonpayment, as required by the trust agreement.
     
    4) The bond must guarantee that the owner or operator will do one of the
    following:
     
    A) Fund the standby trust fund in an amount equal to the penal sum of
    the bond before the beginning of final closure of the facility; or
     
    B) Fund the standby trust fund in an amount equal to the penal sum
    within 15 days after an order to begin closure is issued by the
    Board or a U.S. district court or other court of competent
    jurisdiction; or
     
    C) Provide alternate
    alternative financial assurance as specified in this
    Section, and obtain the Agency’s written approval of the assurance
    provided, within 90 days after receipt by both the owner or
    operator and the Agency of a notice of cancellation of the bond
    from the surety.
     
    5) Under the terms of the bond, the surety will become liable on the bond
    obligation when the owner or operator fails to perform as guaranteed by
    the bond.
     
    6) The penal sum of the bond must be in an amount at least equal to the
    current post-closure cost estimate, except as provided in subsection (g) of
    this Section.
     
    7) Whenever the current post-closure cost estimate increases to an amount
    greater than the penal sum, the owner or operator, within 60 days after the
    increase, shall must either cause the penal sum to be increased to an
    amount at least equal to the current post-closure cost estimate and submit
    evidence of such increase to the Agency or obtain other financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section, to cover the increase. Whenever
    the current post-closure cost estimate decreases, the penal sum may be
    reduced to the amount of the current post-closure cost estimate following
    written approval by the Agency.
     
    8) Under the terms of the bond, the surety may cancel the bond by sending
    notice of cancellation by certified mail to the owner or operator and to the
    Agency. Cancellation may not occur, however, during the 120 days
    beginning on the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by both the
    owner or operator and the Agency, as evidence by the return receipts.

     
     
    322
     
    9) The owner or operator may cancel the bond if the Agency has given prior
    written consent based on its receipt of evidence of alternate alternative
    financial assurance, as specified in this Section.
     
    c) Surety bond guaranteeing performance of post-closure care.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining a surety bond which that conforms to the requirements of this
    subsection (c) and submitting the bond to the Agency. An owner or
    operator of a new facility shall must submit the bond to the Agency at
    least 60 days before the date on which hazardous waste is first received
    for disposal. The bond must be effective before this initial receipt of
    hazardous waste. The surety company issuing the bond must, at a
    minimum, be among those listed as acceptable sureties on Federal bonds
    in Circular 570 of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
     
    2) The wording of the surety bond must be as that specified in Section
    724.251.
     
    3) The owner or operator who uses a surety bond to satisfy the requirements
    of this Section shall must also establish a standby trust fund. Under the
    terms of the bond, all payments made thereunder will be deposited by the
    surety directly into the standby trust fund in accordance with instructions
    from the Agency. This standby trust must meet the requirements specified
    in subsection (a) of this Section, except that as follows:
     
    A) An original, signed duplicate of the trust agreement must be
    submitted to the Agency with the surety bond; and
     
    B) Unless the standby trust fund is funded pursuant to the
    requirements of this Section, the following are not required by
    these regulations:
     
    i) Payments into the trust fund, as specified in subsection (a)
    of this Section;
     
    ii) Updating of Schedule A of the trust agreement (as specified
    in Section 724.251) to show current post-closure cost
    estimates;
     
    iii) Annual valuations, as required by the trust agreement; and
     
    iv) Notices of nonpayment, as required by the trust agreement.

     
     
    323
     
    4) The bond must guarantee that the owner or operator will do either of the
    following:
     
    A) Perform final post-closure care in accordance with the post-closure
    plan and other requirements of the permit for the facility; or
     
    B) Provide alternate
    alternative financial assurance, as specified in
    this Section, and obtain the Agency’s written approval of the
    assurance provided, within 90 days of after receipt by both the
    owner or operator and the Agency of a notice of cancellation of the
    bond from the surety.
     
    5) Under the terms of the bond, the surety will become liable on the bond
    obligation when the owner or operator fails to perform as guaranteed by
    the bond. Following a final judicial determination or Board order finding
    that the owner or operator has failed to perform post-closure care in
    accordance with the approved post-closure plan and other permit
    requirements, under the terms of the bond the surety will perform post-
    closure care in accordance with post-closure plan and other permit
    requirements or will deposit the amount of the penal sum into the standby
    trust fund.
     
    6) The penal sum of the bond must be in an amount at least equal to the
    current post-closure cost estimate.
     
    7) Whenever the current post-closure cost estimate increases to an amount
    greater than the penal sum during the operating life of the facility, the
    owner or operator, within 60 days after the increase, shall must either
    cause the penal sum to be increased to an amount at least equal to the
    current post-closure cost estimate and submit evidence of such increase to
    the Agency, or obtain other financial assurance, as specified in this
    Section. Whenever the current closure cost estimate decreases during the
    operating life of the facility, the penal sum may be reduced to the amount
    of the current post-closure cost estimate following written approval by the
    Agency.
     
    8) During the period of post-closure care, the Agency shall must approve a
    decrease in the penal sum if the owner or operator demonstrates to the
    Agency that the amount exceeds the remaining cost of post-closure care.
     
    9) Under the terms of the bond, the surety may cancel the bond by sending
    notice of cancellation by certified mail to the owner or operator and to the
    Agency. Cancellation may not occur, however, during the 120 days

     
     
    324
    beginning on the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by both the
    owner or operator and the Agency, as evidenced by the return receipts.
     
    10) The owner or operator may cancel the bond if the Agency has given prior
    written consent. The Agency shall must provide such written consent
    when either of the following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate alternative financial
    assurance as specified in this Section; or
     
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    11) The surety will not be liable for deficiencies in the performance of post-
    closure care by the owner or operator after the Agency releases the owner
    or operator from the requirements of this Section in accordance with
    subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    d) Post-closure letter of credit.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining an irrevocable standby letter of credit which that conforms to
    the requirements of this subsection (d) and submitting the letter to the
    Agency. An owner or operator of a new facility shall must submit the
    letter of credit to the Agency at least 60 days before the date on which
    hazardous waste is first received for disposal. The letter of credit must be
    effective before this initial receipt of hazardous waste. The issuing
    institution must be an entity which that has the authority to issue letters of
    credit and whose letter-of-credit operations are regulated and examined by
    a Federal federal or State agency.
     
    2) The wording of the letter of credit must be as that specified in Section
    724.251.
     
    3) An owner or operator who uses a letter of credit to satisfy the
    requirements of this Section shall must also establish a standby trust fund.
    Under the terms of the letter of credit, all amounts paid pursuant to a draft
    by the Agency will must be deposited by the issuing institution directly
    into the standby trust fund in accordance with instructions from the
    Agency. This standby trust fund must meet the requirements of the trust
    fund specified in subsection (a) of this Section, except that as follows:
     
    A) An original, signed duplicate of the trust agreement must be
    submitted to the Agency with the letter of credit; and

     
     
    325
     
    B) Unless the standby trust fund is funded pursuant to the
    requirements of this Section, the following are not required by
    these regulations:
     
    i) Payments into the trust fund, as specified in subsection (a)
    of this Section;
     
    ii) Updating of Schedule A of the trust agreement (as specified
    in Section 724.251) to show current post-closure cost
    estimates;
     
    iii) Annual valuations, as required by the trust agreement; and
     
    iv) Notices of nonpayment, as required by the trust agreement.
     
    4) The letter or credit must be accompanied by a letter from the owner or
    operator referring to the letter of credit by number, issuing institution, and
    date and providing the following information: the EPA Identification
    Number USEPA identification number, name and address of the facility,
    and the amount of funds assured for post-closure care of the facility by the
    letter of credit.
     
    5) The letter of credit must be irrevocable and issued for a period of at least 1
    one year. The letter of credit must provide that the expiration date will be
    automatically extended for a period of at least 1 one year unless, at least
    120 days before the current expiration date, the issuing institution notifies
    both the owner or operator and the Agency by certified mail of a decision
    not to extend the expiration date. Under the terms of the letter of credit,
    the 120 days will begin on the date when both the owner or operator and
    the Agency have received the notice, as evidenced by the return receipts.
     
    6) The letter of credit must be issued in an amount at least equal to the
    current post-closure cost estimate, except as provided in subsection (g) of
    this Section.
     
    7) Whenever the current post-closure cost estimate increases to an amount
    greater than the amount of the credit during the operating life of the
    facility, the owner or operator, within 60 days after the increase, shall
    must either cause the amount of the credit to be increased so that it at least
    equals the current post-closure cost estimate and submit evidence of such
    increase to the Agency, or obtain other financial assurance as specified in
    this Section to cover the increase. Whenever the current post-closure cost
    estimate decreases during the operating life of the facility, the amount of

     
     
    326
    the credit may be reduced to the amount of the current post-closure cost
    estimate following written approval by the Agency.
     
    8) During the period of post-closure care, the Agency shall must approve a
    decrease in the amount of the letter of credit if the owner or operator
    demonstrates to the Agency that the amount exceeds the remaining cost of
    post-closure care.
     
    9) Following a final judicial determination or Board order finding that the
    owner or operator has failed to perform post-closure care in accordance
    with the approved post-closure plan and other permit requirements, the
    Agency may draw on the letter of credit.
     
    10) If the owner or operator does not establish alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section, and obtain written approval of such
    alternate alternative assurance from the Agency within 90 days after
    receipt by both the owner or operator and the Agency of a notice from the
    issuing institution that it has decided not to extend the letter of credit
    beyond the current expiration date, the Agency shall must draw on the
    letter of credit. The Agency may delay the drawing if the issuing
    institution grants an extension of the term of the credit. During the last 30
    days of any such extension the Agency shall must draw on the letter of
    credit if the owner or operator has failed to provide alternate alternative
    financial assurance, as specified in this Section, and obtain written
    approval of such assurance from the Agency.
     
    11) The Agency shall must return the letter of credit to the issuing institution
    for termination when either of the following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section; or
     
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    e) Post-closure insurance.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining post-closure insurance which that conforms to the requirements
    of this subsection (e) and submitting a certificate of such insurance to the
    Agency. An owner or operator of a new facility shall must submit the
    certificate of insurance to the Agency at least 60 days before the date on
    which hazardous waste is first received for disposal. The insurance must
    be effective before this initial receipt of hazardous waste. At a minimum,

     
     
    327
    the insurer shall must be licensed to transact the business of insurance, or
    be eligible to provide insurance as an excess or surplus lines insurer, in
    one or more states.
     
    2) The wording of the certificate of insurance must be as that specified in
    Section 724.251.
     
    3) The post-closure insurance policy must be issued for a face amount at
    least equal to the current post-closure cost estimate, except as provided in
    subsection (g) of this Section. The term “face amount” means the total
    amount the insurer is obligated to pay under the policy. Actual payments
    by the insurer will not change the face amount, although the insurer’s
    future liability will be lowered by the amount of the payments.
     
    4) The post-closure insurance policy must guarantee that funds will be
    available to provide post-closure care of facility whenever the post-closure
    period begins. The policy must also guarantee that, once post-closure care
    begins, the insurer will be responsible for paying out funds, up to an
    amount equal to the face amount of the policy, upon the direction of the
    Agency to such party or parties as the Agency specifies.
     
    5) An owner or operator or any other person authorized to perform post-
    closure care may request reimbursement for post-closure care
    expenditures by submitting itemized bills to the Agency. Within 60 days
    after receiving bills for post-closure activities, the Agency shall must
    instruct the insurer to make reimbursement in such amounts as the Agency
    specifies in writing if the Agency determines that the post-closure care
    expenditures are in accordance with the approved post-closure plan or
    otherwise justified. If the Agency does not instruct the insurer to make
    such reimbursements, the Agency shall must provide the owner or
    operator with a detailed written statement of reasons.
     
    6) The owner or operator shall must maintain the policy in full force and
    effect until the Agency consents to termination of the policy by the owner
    or operator as specified in subsection (e)(11) of this Section. Failure to
    pay the premium, without substitution of alternate alternative financial
    assurance as specified in this Section, will constitute a significant
    violation of these regulations, warranting such remedy as the Board may
    impose pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5]. Such
    violation will be deemed to begin upon receipt by the Agency of a notice
    of future cancellation, termination, or failure to renew due to nonpayment
    of the premium, rather than upon the date of expiration.
     

     
     
    328
    7) Each policy must contain a provision allowing assignment of the policy to
    a successor owner or operator. Such assignment may be conditional upon
    consent of the insurer, provided such consent is not unreasonably refused.
     
    8) The policy must provide that the insurer may not cancel, terminate, or fail
    to renew the policy except for failure to pay the premium. The automatic
    renewal of the policy must, at a minimum, provide the insured with the
    option of renewal at the face amount of the expiring policy. If there is a
    failure to pay the premium, the insurer may elect to cancel, terminate, or
    fail to renew the policy by sending notice by certified mail to the owner or
    operator and the Agency. Cancellation, termination, or failure to renew
    may not occur, however, during the 120 days beginning with the date of
    receipt of the notice by both the Agency and the owner or operator, as
    evidenced by the return receipts. Cancellation, termination, or failure to
    renew may not occur, and the policy will remain in full force and effect, in
    the event that on or before the date of expiration one of the following
    occurs:
     
    A) The Agency deems the facility abandoned; or
     
    B) The permit is terminated or revoked or a new permit is denied; or
     
    C) Closure is ordered by the Board or a U.S. district court or other
    court of competent jurisdiction; or
     
    D) The owner or operator is named as debtor in a voluntary or
    involuntary proceeding under Title 11 U.S.C. of the United States
    Code (Bankruptcy); or
     
    E) The premium due is paid.
     
    9) Whenever the current post-closure cost estimate increases to an amount
    greater than the face amount of the policy during the life of the facility, the
    owner or operator, within 60 days after the increase, shall must either
    cause the face amount to be increased to an amount at least equal to the
    current post-closure cost estimate and submit evidence of such increase to
    the Agency, or obtain other financial assurance, as specified in this
    Section, to cover the increase. Whenever the current post-closure cost
    estimate decreases during the operating life of the facility, the face amount
    may be reduced to the amount of the current post-closure cost estimate
    following written approval by the Agency.
     
    10) Commencing on the date that liability to make payments pursuant to the
    policy accrues, the insurer shall must thereafter annually increase the face

     
     
    329
    amount of the policy. Such increase must be equivalent to the face
    amount of the policy, less any payments made, multiplied by an amount
    equivalent to 85 percent of the most recent investment rate or of the
    equivalent coupon-issue yield announced by the U.S. Treasury for 26-
    week Treasury securities.
     
    11) The Agency shall must give written consent to the owner or operator that
    the owner or operator may terminate the insurance policy when either of
    the following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section; or
     
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    f) Financial test and corporate guarantee for post-closure care.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    demonstrating that it passes a financial test as specified in this subsection
    (f). To pass this test the owner or operator shall must meet the criteria of
    either subsection (f)(1)(A) or (f)(1)(B) of this Section:
     
    A) The owner or operator shall must have the following:
     
    i) Two of the following three ratios: a ratio of total liabilities
    to net worth less than 2.0; a ratio of the sum of net income
    plus depreciation, depletion and amortization to total
    liabilities greater than 0.1; and a ratio of current assets to
    current liabilities greater than 1.5; and
     
    ii) Net working capital and tangible net worth each at least six
    times the sum of the current closure and post-closure cost
    estimates and the current plugging and abandonment cost
    estimates; and
     
    iii) Tangible net worth of at least $10 million; and
     
    iv) Assets in the United States amounting to at least 90 percent
    of its total assets or at least six times the sum of the current
    closure and post-closure cost estimates and the current
    plugging and abandonment cost estimates.
     
    B) The owner or operator shall must have the following:

     
     
    330
     
    i) A current rating for its most recent bond issuance of AAA,
    AA, A, or BBB as issued by Standard and Poor’s or Aaa,
    Aa, A, or Baa as issued by Moody’s; and
     
    ii) Tangible net worth at least six times the sum of the current
    closure and post-closure cost estimates and current
    plugging and abandonment cost estimates; and
     
    iii) Tangible net worth of at least $10 million; and
     
    iv) Assets located in the United States amounting to at least 90
    percent of its total assets or at least six times the sum of the
    current closure and post-closure cost estimates and the
    current plugging and abandonment cost estimates.
     
    2) The phrase “current closure and post-closure cost estimates,” as used in
    subsection (f)(1) of this Section, refers to the cost estimates required to be
    shown in subsections 1 through 4 of the letter from the owner’s or
    operator’s chief financial officer (40 CFR 264.151(f)), (incorporated by
    reference in Section 724.251). The phrase “current plugging and
    abandonment cost estimates,” as used in subsection (f)(1) of this Section,
    refers to the cost estimates required to be shown in subsections 1 through
    4 of the letter from the owner’s or operator’s chief financial officer (40
    CFR 144.70(f), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 704.240).
     
    3) To demonstrate that it meets this test, the owner or operator shall must
    submit the following items to the Agency:
     
    A) A letter signed by the owner’s or operator’s chief financial officer
    and worded, as specified in Section 724.251; and
     
    B) A copy of the independent certified public accountant’s report on
    examination of the owner’s or operator’s financial statements for
    the latest completed fiscal year; and
     
    C) A special report from the owner’s or operator’s independent
    certified public accountant to the owner or operator stating that the
    following:
     
    i) The accountant has compared the data which that the letter
    from the chief financial officer specifies as having been
    derived from the independently audited, year-end financial

     
     
    331
    statements for the latest fiscal year with the amounts in
    such financial statements; and
     
    ii) In connection with that procedure, no matters came to the
    accountant’s attention which that caused the accountant to
    believe that the specified data should be adjusted.
     
    4) An owner or operator of a new facility shall must submit the items
    specified in subsection (f)(3) of this Section to the Agency at least 60 days
    before the date on which hazardous waste is first received for disposal.
     
    5) After the initial submission of items specified in subsection (f)(3) of this
    Section, the owner or operator shall must send updated information to the
    Agency within 90 days after the close of each succeeding fiscal year. This
    information must consist of all three items specified in subsection (f)(3) of
    this Section.
     
    6) If the owner or operator no longer meets the requirements of subsection
    (f)(1) of this Section, the owner or operator shall must send notice to the
    Agency of intent to establish alternate alternative financial assurance, as
    specified in this Section. The notice must be sent by certified mail within
    90 days after the end of the fiscal year for which the year-end financial
    data show that the. owner or operator no longer meets the requirements the
    owner or operator shall must provide the alternate alternative financial
    assurance within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year.
     
    7) The Agency may, based Based on a reasonable belief that the owner or
    operator may no longer meet the requirements of subsection (f)(1) of this
    Section, the Agency may require reports of financial condition at any time
    from the owner or operator in addition to those specified in subsection
    (f)(3) of this Section. If the Agency finds, on the basis of such reports or
    other information, that the owner or operator no longer meets the
    requirements of subsection (f)(1) of this Section, the owner or operator
    shall must provide alternate alternative financial assurance, as specified in
    this Section, within 30 days after notification of such a finding.
     
    8) The Agency may disallow use of this test on the basis of qualifications in
    the opinion expressed by the independent certified public accountant in
    the accountant’s report on examination of the owner’s or operator’s
    financial statements (see subsection (f)(3)(B) of this Section). An adverse
    opinion or a disclaimer of opinion will be cause for disallowance. The
    Agency shall must evaluate other qualifications on an individual basis.
    The owner or operator shall must provide alternate alternative financial

     
     
    332
    assurance, as specified in this Section, within 30 days after notification of
    the disallowance.
     
    9) During the period of post-closure care, the Agency shall must approve a
    decrease in the current post-closure cost estimate for which this test
    demonstrates financial assurance if the owner or operator demonstrates to
    the Agency that the amount of the cost estimate exceeds the remaining
    cost of post-closure care.
     
    10) The owner or operator is no longer required to submit the items specified
    in subsection (f)(3) of this Section when either of the following occurs:
     
    A) An owner or operator substitutes alternate alternative financial
    assurance, as specified in this Section; or
     
    B) The Agency releases the owner or operator from the requirements
    of this Section in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    11) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining a written guarantee, hereafter referred to as “corporate
    guarantee.” The guarantor shall must be the direct or higher-tier parent
    corporation of the owner or operator, a firm whose parent corporation is
    also the parent corporation of the owner or operator, or a firm with a
    “substantial business relationship” with the owner or operator. The
    guarantor shall must meet the requirements for owners or operators in
    subsections (f)(1) through (f)(9) of this Section, and shall must comply
    with the terms of the corporate guarantee. The wording of the corporate
    guarantee must be as that specified in Section 724.251. A certified copy
    of the corporate guarantee must accompany the items sent to the Agency,
    as specified in subsection (f)(3) of this Section. One of these items must
    be the letter from the guarantor’s chief financial officer. If the guarantor’s
    parent corporation is also the parent corporation of the owner or operator,
    the letter must describe the value received in consideration of the
    guarantee. If the guarantor is a firm with a “substantial business
    relationship” with the owner or operator, this letter must describe this
    “substantial business relationship” and the value received in consideration
    of the guarantee. The terms of the corporate guarantee must provide that
    as follows:
     
    A) If
    That if the owner or operator fails to perform post-closure care
    of a facility covered by the corporate guarantee in accordance with
    the post-closure plan and other permit requirements whenever
    required to do so, the guarantor will do so or establish a trust fund

     
     
    333
    as specified in subsection (a) of this Section in the name of the
    owner or operator.
     
    B) The
    That the corporate guarantee will remain in force unless the
    guarantor sends notice of cancellation by certified mail to the
    owner or operator and to the Agency. Cancellation may not occur,
    however, during the 120 days beginning on the date of receipt of
    the notice of cancellation by both the owner or operator and the
    Agency, as evidenced by the return receipts.
     
    C) If
    That if the owner or operator fails to provide alternate
    alternative financial assurance as specified in this Section and
    obtain the written approval of such alternate alternative assurance
    from the Agency within 90 days after receipt by both the owner or
    operator and the Agency of a notice of cancellation of the
    corporate guarantee from the guarantor, the guarantor will provide
    such alternate alternative financial assurance in the name of the
    owner or operator.
     
    g) Use of multiple financial mechanisms. An owner or operator may satisfy the
    requirements of this Section by establishing more than one financial mechanism
    per facility. These mechanisms are limited to trust funds, surety bonds
    guaranteeing payment into a trust fund, letters of credit and insurance. The
    mechanisms must be as specified in subsections (a), (b), (d), and (e) of this
    Section, respectively, except that it is the combination of mechanisms, rather than
    the single mechanism, which that must provide financial assurance for an amount
    at least equal to the current post-closure cost estimate. If an owner or operator
    uses a trust fund in combination with a surety bond or a letter of credit, it may use
    the trust fund as the standby trust fund for the other mechanisms. A single
    standby trust fund may be established for two or more mechanisms. The Agency
    may use any or all of the mechanisms to provide for post-closure care of the
    facility.
     
    h) Use of a financial mechanism for multiple facilities. An owner or operator may
    use a financial assurance mechanism specified in this Section to meet the
    requirements of this Section for more than one facility. Evidence of financial
    assurance submitted to the Agency must include a list showing, for each facility,
    the EPA Identification Number USEPA identification number, name, address, and
    the amount of funds for post-closure care assured by the mechanism. The amount
    of funds available through the mechanism must be no less than the sum of funds
    that would be available if a separate mechanism had been established and
    maintained for each facility. The amount of funds available to the Agency must
    be sufficient to close all of the owner or operator’s facilities. In directing funds
    available through the mechanism for post-closure care of any of the facilities

     
     
    334
    covered by the mechanism, the Agency may direct only the amount of funds
    designated for that facility, unless the owner or operator agrees to the use of
    additional funds available under the mechanism.
     
    i) Release of the owner or operator from the requirements of this Section. Within
    60 days after receiving certifications from the owner or operator and an
    independent registered professional engineer that the post-closure care period has
    been completed for a hazardous waste disposal unit in accordance with the
    approved plan, the Agency shall must notify the owner or operator that it is no
    longer required to maintain financial assurance for post-closure care of that unit,
    unless the Agency determines that post-closure care has not been in accordance
    with the approved post-closure plan. The Agency shall must provide the owner or
    operator with a detailed written statement of any such determination that post-
    closure care has not been in accordance with the approved post-closure plan.
     
    j) Appeal. The following Agency actions are deemed to be permit modifications or
    refusals to modify for purposes of appeal to the Board (35 Ill. Adm. Code
    702.184(e)(3)):
     
    1) An increase in, or a refusal to decrease the amount of, a bond, letter of
    credit, or insurance;
     
    2) Requiring alternate
    alternative assurance upon a finding that an owner or
    operator, or parent corporation, no longer meets a financial test.

    Section 724.246 Use of a Mechanism for Financial Assurance of Both Closure and Post-
    closure Post-Closure Care
     
    An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements for financial assurance for both closure and
    post-closure care for one or more facilities by using a trust fund, surety bond, letter of credit,
    insurance, financial test, or corporate guarantee that meets the specifications for the mechanism
    in both Sections 724.243 and 724.245. The amount of funds available through the mechanism
    must be no less than the sum of funds that would be available if a separate mechanism had been
    established and maintained for financial assurance of closure and of post-closure care.

    operator may not combine a financial test covering part of the liability
    coverage requirement with a guarantee unless the financial statement of
    the owner or operator is not consolidated with the financial statement of
    the guarantor. The amounts of coverage demonstrated must total at least
    the minimum amounts required by this Section. If the owner or operator
    demonstrates the required coverage through the use of a combination of
    financial assurances under this subsection (a), the owner or operator shall
    must specify at least one such assurance as “primary” coverage, and shall
    must specify other such assurance as “excess” coverage.
     
    7) An owner or operator shall must notify the Agency within 30 days
    whenever any of the following occurs:

    unit which that is used to manage hazardous waste, or a group of such facilities,
    shall must demonstrate financial responsibility for bodily injury and property
    damage to third parties caused by nonsudden accidental occurrences arising from

     
     
    337
    operations of the facility or group of facilities. The owner or operator shall must
    have and maintain liability coverage for nonsudden accidental occurrences in the
    amount of at least $3 million per occurrence with an annual aggregate of at least

    insurance must be effective before this initial receipt of hazardous
    waste.
     
    B) Each insurance policy must be issued by an insurer which that is
    licensed by the Illinois Department of Insurance.
     
    2) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this Section by

    obtaining a surety bond for liability coverage, as specified in subsection (i)
    below of this Section.
     
    5) An owner or operator may meet the requirements of this Section by

    operator may not combine a financial test covering part of the liability
    coverage requirement with a guarantee unless the financial statement of
    the owner or operator is not consolidated with the financial statement of
    the guarantor. The amounts of coverage demonstrated must total at least
    the minimum amounts required by this Section. If the owner or operator
    demonstrates the required coverage through the use of a combination of
    financial assurances under this subsection (b), the owner or operator shall
    must specify at least one such assurance as “primary” coverage, and shall
    must specify other such assurance as “excess” coverage.
     
    7) An owner or operator shall must notify the Agency within 30 days

    assurance for liability coverage under subsections (b)(1) through
    (b)(6) above of this Section.
     

     
     
    339
    c) Request for adjusted level of required liability coverage. If an owner or operator
    demonstrates to the Agency that the levels of financial responsibility required by
    subsections subsection (a) or (b) above of this Section are not consistent with the
    degree and duration of risk associated with treatment, storage, or disposal at the
    facility or group of facilities, the owner or operator may obtain an adjusted level
    of required liability coverage from the Agency. The request for an adjusted level
    of required liability coverage must be submitted to the Agency as part of the
    application under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.182 for a facility that does not have a
    permit, or pursuant to the procedures for permit modification under 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 705.128 for a facility that has a permit. If granted, the modification will
    take the form of an adjusted level of required liability coverage, such level to be
    based on the Agency assessment of the degree and duration of risk associated
    with the ownership or operation of the facility or group of facilities. The Agency
    may require an owner or operator who requests an adjusted level of required
    liability coverage to provide such technical and engineering information as is
    necessary to determine a level of financial responsibility other than that required
    by subsection (a) or (b) above of this Section. Any request for an adjusted level
    of required liability coverage for a permitted facility will be treated as a request
    for a permit modification under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.271(e)(3) and 705.128.
     
    d) Adjustments by the Agency. If the Agency determines that the levels of financial
    responsibility required by subsection (a) or (b) above of this Section are not
    consistent with the degree and duration of risk associated with treatment, storage,
    or disposal at the facility or group of facilities, the Agency shall must adjust the
    level of financial responsibility required under subsection (a) or (b) above of this
    Section as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment. This
    adjusted level must be based on the Agency’s assessment of the degree and
    duration of risk associated with the ownership or operation of the facility or group
    of facilities. In addition, if the Agency determines that there is a significant risk
    to human health and the environment from nonsudden accidental occurrences
    resulting from the operations of a facility that is not a surface impoundment,
    landfill, or land treatment facility, the Agency may require that an owner or
    operator of the facility comply with subsection (b) above of this Section. An
    owner or operator shall must furnish to the Agency, within a time specified by the
    Agency in the request, which must be not be less than 30 days, any information
    which that the Agency requests to determine whether cause exists for such
    adjustments of level or type of coverage. Any adjustment of the level or type of
    coverage for a facility that has a permit will be treated as a permit modification
    under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.271(e)(3) and 705.128.
     
    e) Period of coverage. Within 60 days after receiving certifications from the owner
    or operator and an independent registered professional engineer that final closure
    has been completed in accordance with the approved closure plan, the Agency
    shall must notify the owner or operator in writing that the owner or operator is no

     
     
    340
    longer required by this Section to maintain liability coverage for that facility,
    unless the Agency determines that closure has not been in accordance with the
    approved closure plan.
     
    f) Financial test for liability coverage.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    demonstrating that it passes a financial test as specified in this subsection
    (f). To pass this test the owner or operator shall must meet the criteria of
    subsection (f)(1)(A) or (f)(1)(B) below of this Section:
     
    A) The owner or operator shall must have the following:
     
    i) Net working capital and tangible net worth each at least six
    times the amount of liability coverage to be demonstrated
    by this test; and
     
    ii) Tangible net worth of at least $10 million; and
     
    iii) Assets in the United States amounting to either of the
    following: at least 90 percent of the total assets; or at least
    six times the amount of liability coverage to be
    demonstrated by this test.
     
    B) The owner or operator shall must have the following:
     
    i) A current rating for its most recent bond issuance of AAA,
    AA, A, or BBB as issued by Standard and Poor’s, or Aaa,
    Aa, A, or Baa as issued by Moody’s; and
     
    ii) Tangible net worth of at least $10 million; and
     
    iii) Tangible net worth at least six times the amount of liability
    coverage to be demonstrated by this test; and
     
    iv) Assets in the United States amounting to either of the
    following: at least 90 percent of the total assets; or at least
    six times the amount of liability coverage to be
    demonstrated by this test.
     
    2) The phrase “amount of liability coverage,” as used in subsection (f)(1)
    above of this Section, refers to the annual aggregate amounts for which
    coverage is required under subsections (a) and (b) above of this Section.
     

     
     
    341
    3) To demonstrate that it meets this test, the owner or operator shall must
    submit the following three items to the Agency:
     
    A) A letter signed by the owner’s or operator’s chief financial officer
    and worded as specified in Section 724.251. If an owner or
    operator is using the financial test to demonstrate both assurance
    for closure or post-closure care, as specified by Sections
    724.243(f) and 724.245(f) and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.243(e) and
    725.245(e), and liability coverage, it shall must submit the letter
    specified in Section 724.251 to cover both forms of financial
    responsibility; a separate letter, as specified in Section 724.251, is
    not required.
     
    B) A copy of the independent certified public accountant’s report on
    examination of the owner’s or operator’s financial statements for
    the latest completed fiscal year.
     
    C) A special report from the owner’s or operator’s independent
    certified public accountant to the owner or operator stating that the
    following:
     
    i) The accountant has compared the data which that the letter
    from the chief financial officer specifies as having been
    derived from the independently audited, year-end financial
    statements for the latest fiscal year with the amounts in
    such financial statements; and
     
    ii) In connection with that procedure, no matters came to the
    accountant’s attention which that caused the accountant to
    believe that the specified data should be adjusted.
     
    4) An owner or operator of a new facility shall must submit the items
    specified in subsection (f)(3) above of this Section to the Agency at least
    60 days before the date on which hazardous waste is first received for
    treatment, storage, or disposal.
     
    5) After the initial submission of items specified in subsection (f)(3) above of
    this Section, the owner of operator shall must send updated information to
    the Agency within 90 days after the close of each succeeding fiscal year.
    This information must consist of all three items specified in subsection
    (f)(3) above of this Section.
     
    6) If the owner or operator no longer meets the requirements of subsection
    (f)(1) above of this Section, the owner or operator shall must obtain

     
     
    342
    insurance, a letter of credit, a surety bond, a trust fund, or a guarantee for
    the entire amount of required liability coverage as specified in this
    Section. Evidence of insurance must be submitted to the Agency within
    90 days after the end of the fiscal year for which the year-end financial
    data show that the owner or operator no longer meets the test
    requirements.
     
    7) The Agency may disallow use of this test on the basis of qualifications in
    the opinion expressed by the independent certified public accountant in
    the accountant’s report on examination of the owner’s or operator’s
    financial statements (see subsection (f)(3)(B) above of this Section). An
    adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion will be cause for disallowance.
    The Agency shall must evaluate other qualifications on an individual
    basis. The owner or operator shall must provide evidence of insurance for
    the entire amount of required liability coverage, as specified in this
    Section, within 30 days after notification of disallowance.
     
    g) Guarantee for liability coverage.
     
    1) Subject to subsection (g)(2) below of this Section, an owner or operator
    may meet the requirements of this Section by obtaining a written
    guarantee, referred to as a “guarantee.” The guarantor shall must be the
    direct or higher-tier parent corporation of the owner or operator, a firm
    whose parent corporation is also the parent corporation of the owner or
    operator, or a firm with a “substantial business relationship” with the
    owner or operator. The guarantor shall must meet the requirements for
    owners and operators in subsections (f)(1) through (f)(6) above of this
    Section. The wording of the guarantee must be as that specified in Section
    724.251. A certified copy of the guarantee must accompany the items sent
    to the Agency, as specified in subsection (f)(3) above of this Section. One
    of these items must be the letter from the guarantor’s chief financial
    officer. If the guarantor’s parent corporation is also the parent corporation
    of the owner or operator, this letter must describe the value received in
    consideration of the guarantee. If the guarantor is a firm with a
    “substantial business relationship” with the owner or operator, this letter
    must describe this “substantial business relationship” and the value
    received in consideration of the guarantee. The terms of the guarantee
    must provide that for the following:
     
    A) If the owner or operator fails to satisfy a judgment based on a
    determination of liability for bodily injury or property damage to
    third parties caused by sudden or nonsudden accidental
    occurrences (or both as the case may be), arising from the
    operation of facilities covered by this guarantee, or if the owner or

     
     
    343
    operator fails to pay an amount agreed to in settlement of claims
    arising from or alleged to arise from such injury or damage, that
    the guarantor will do so up to the limits of coverage.
     
    B) The
    That the guarantee will remain in force unless the guarantor
    sends notice of cancellation by certified mail to the owner or
    operator and to the Agency. The guarantee must not be terminated
    unless and until the Agency approves alternate alternative liability
    coverage complying with Section 724.247 or 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725.247.
     
    2) The guarantor shall must execute the guarantee in Illinois. The guarantee
    shall must be accompanied by a letter signed by the guarantor which that
    states that as follows:
     
    A) The guarantee was signed in Illinois by an authorized agent of the
    guarantor;

    service of process.
     
    3) The guarantor shall must have a registered agent pursuant to Section 5.05
    of the Business Corporation Act of 1983 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1991, ch. 32, par.

    Corporation Act of 1986 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1991, ch. 32, par. 105.05 [805
    ILCS 105/105.05]).
     
    h) Letter of credit for liability coverage.
     
    1) An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
    obtaining an irrevocable standby letter of credit which that conforms to
    the requirements of this subsection (h), and submitting a copy of the letter
    of credit to the Agency.
     
    2) The financial institution issuing the letter of credit shall must be an entity
    which that has the authority to issue letters of credit and whose letter of
    credit operations are regulated and examined by the Illinois Commissioner
    of Banks and Trust Companies.
     
    3) The wording of the letter of credit must be as that specified in Section
    724.251.
     

     
     
    344
    4) An owner or operator who uses a letter of credit to satisfy the
    requirements of this Section may also establish a trust fund. Under the
    terms of such a letter of credit, all amounts paid pursuant to a draft by the
    trustee of the standby trust in accordance with instructions from the
    trustee. The trustee of the standby trust fund must be an entity which that
    has the authority to act as a trustee and whose trust operations are

    3) The trust fund for liability coverage must be funded for the full amount of
    the liability coverage to be provided by the trust fund before it may be
    relied upon to satisfy the requirements of this Section. If at any time after
    the trust fund is created the amount of funds in the trust fund is reduced
    below the full amount of liability coverage to be provided, the owner or
    operator, by the anniversary of the date of establishment of the fund, shall

     
     
    345
    must either add sufficient funds to the trust fund to cause its value to equal
    the full amount of liability coverage to be provided, or obtain other
    financial assurance as specified in this Section to cover the difference.
    For purposes of this subsection (j), “the full amount of the liability
    coverage to be provided” means the amount of coverage for sudden and
    nonsudden accidental occurrences required to be provided by the owner or
    operator by this Section, less the amount of financial assurance for
    liability coverage which that is being provided by other financial
    assurance mechanisms being used to demonstrate financial assurance by
    the owner or operator.
     
    4) The wording of the trust fund must be as that specified in Section 724.251.

    The spill was less than or equal to a quantity of one (1)
    pound; and
     
    B) Immediately
    It was immediately contained and cleaned-up cleaned
    up.
     
    3) Within 30 days of detection of a release to the environment, a report
    containing the following information must be submitted to the Agency:
     
    A) Likely route of migration of the release;
     
    B) Characteristics of the surrounding soil (soil composition, geology,
    hydrogeology, climate, etc.);
     
    C) Results of any monitoring or sampling conducted in connection
    with the release (if available). If sampling or monitoring data
    relating to the release are not available within 30 days, these data
    must be submitted to the Agency as soon as they become available.
     
    D) Proximity the downgradient drinking water, surface water, and
    populated areas; and
     
    E) Description of response actions taken or planned.
     
    e) Provision of secondary containment, repair, or closure.
     
    1) Unless the owner or operator satisfies the requirements of subsections
    (e)(2) through (e)(4) of this Section, the tank system must be closed in
    accordance with Section 724.297.
     
    2) If the cause of the release was a spill that has not damaged the integrity of
    the system, the owner or operator may return the system to service as soon
    as the released waste is removed and repairs, if necessary, are made.
     
    3) If the cause of the release was a leak from the primary tank system into the
    secondary containment system, the system must be repaired prior to
    returning the tank system to service.
     
    4) If the source of the release was a leak to the environment from a
    component of a tank system without secondary containment, the owner or
    operator shall must provide the component of the system from which the
    leak occurred with secondary containment that satisfies the requirements
    of Section 724.293 before it can be returned to service, unless the source
    of the leak is an aboveground portion of a tank system that can be

     
     
    369
    inspected visually. If the source is an aboveground component that can be
    inspected visually, the component must be repaired and may be returned
    to service without secondary containment, as long as the requirements of
    subsection (f) of this Section are satisfied. If a component is replaced to
    comply with the requirements of this subsection (e), that component must
    satisfy the requirements of new tank systems or components in Sections
    724.292 and 724.293. Additionally, if a leak has occurred in any portion
    of a tank system component that is not readily accessible for visual
    inspection (e.g., the bottom of an inground in-ground or onground on-
    ground tank), the entire component must be provided with secondary
    containment in accordance with Section 724.293 prior to being returned to
    use.
     
    f) Certification of major repairs. If the owner or operator has repaired a tank system
    in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section, and the repair has been
    extensive (e.g., installation of an internal liner, repair, or a ruptured primary
    containment or secondary containment vessel), the tank system must not be
    returned to service unless the owner or operator has obtained a certification by an
    independent, qualified, registered professional engineer, in accordance with 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 702.126(d), that the repaired system is capable of handling hazardous
    wastes without release for the intended life of the system. This certification must
    be submitted to the Agency within seven days after returning the tank system to
    use.
     
    BOARD NOTE: See Section 724.115(c) for the requirements necessary to
    remedy a failure. Also, 40 CFR 302.6, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 720.111, may require the owner or operator to notify the National Response
    Center of certain releases.

    Section 724.297 Closure and Post-Closure Care
     
    a) At closure of a tank system, the owner or operator shall must remove or
    decontaminate all waste residues, containmented containment system components
    (liners, etc.), contaminated soils and structures and equipment contaminated with
    waste, and manage them as hazardous waste, unless 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.103(d)
    applies. The closure plan, closure activities, cost estimates for closure and
    financial responsibility for tank systems must meet all of the requirements
    specified in Subparts G and H of this Part.
     
    b) If the owner or operator demonstrates to the Agency by way of permit application
    that not all contaminated soils can be practicably removed or decontaminated, as
    required in subsection (a) of this Section, then the owner or operator shall must

     
     
    370
    close the tank system and perform post-closure care in accordance with the
    closure and post-closure care requirements that apply to landfills (Section
    724.410). In addition, for the purposes of closure, post-closure and financial
    responsibility, such a tank system is then considered to be a landfill, and the
    owner or operator shall must meet all of the requirements for landfills specified in
    Subparts G and H of this Part.
     
    c) If an owner or operator has a tank system that does not have secondary
    containment that which meets the requirements of Section 724.193(b) through (f),
    and the owner and operator has not been granted alternative design and operating
    practices for secondary containment requirements in accordance with Section
    724.293(g), then the following apply:
     
    1) The closure plan for the tank system must include both a plan for
    complying with subsection (a) of this Section and a contingent plan for
    complying with subsection (b) of this Section.
     
    2) A contingent post-closure plan for complying with subsection (b) of this
    Section must be prepared and submitted as part of the permit application.
     
    3) The cost estimates calculated for closure and post-closure care must
    reflect the costs of complying with the contingent closure plan and the
    contingent post-closure plan, if those costs are greater than the costs of
    complying with the closure plan prepared for the expected closure under
    subsection (a) of this Section.
     
    4) Financial assurance must be based on the cost estimates in subsection
    (c)(3) of this Section.
     
    5) For the purposes of the contingent closure and post-closure plans, such a
    tank system is considered to be a landfill, and the contingent plans must
    meet all of the closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility
    requirements for landfills under Subparts G and H of this Part.

    SUBPART K: SURFACE IMPOUNDMENTS
     
    Section 724.320 Applicability
     
    The regulations in this Subpart K apply to owners and operators of facilities that use surface
    impoundments to treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste, except as Section 724.101 provides
    otherwise.
     
    (Source: Amended at 27 Ill. Reg. ________, effective ____________________)
     
    Section 724.321 Design and Operating Requirements
     
    a) Any surface impoundment that it is not covered by subsection (c) below of this
    Section or 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.321 must have a liner for all portions of the
    impoundment (except for existing portions of such impoundment). The liner must
    be designed, constructed, and installed to prevent any migration of wastes out of
    the impoundment to the adjacent subsurface soil or groundwater or surface water
    at any time during the active life (including the closure period) of the
    impoundment. The liner may be constructed of materials that may allow wastes
    to migrate into the liner (but not into the adjacent subsurface soil or groundwater
    or surface water) during the active life of the facility, provided that the
    impoundment is closed in accordance with Section 724.328(a)(1). For
    impoundments that will be closed in accordance with Section 724.328(a)(2), the
    liner must be constructed of materials that can prevent wastes from migrating into
    the liner during the active life of the facility. The liner must be as follows:
     
    1) Constructed of materials that have appropriate chemical properties and
    sufficient strength and thickness to prevent failure due to pressure
    gradients (including static head and external hydrogeologic forces),
    physical contact with the waste or leachate to which they are exposed,
    climatic conditions, the stress of installation, and the stress of daily
    operation;
     
    2) Placed upon a foundation or base capable of providing support to the liner
    and resistance to pressure gradients above and below the liner to prevent
    failure of the liner due to settlement, compression, or uplift; and
     
    3) Installed to cover all surrounding earth likely to be in contact with the
    waste or leachate.
     
    b) The owner or operator will be exempted from the requirements of subsection (a)
    above of this Section if the Board grants an adjusted standard pursuant to Section
    28.1 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/28.1] and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart G 101 and
    104. The level of justification is a demonstration by the owner or operator that

     
     
    373
    alternate alternative design or operating practices, together with location
    characteristics, will prevent the migration of any hazardous constituents (see
    Section 724.193) into the groundwater or surface water at any future time. In
    deciding whether to grant an adjusted standard, the Board will consider the
    following:
     
    1) The nature and quantity of the wastes;
     
    2) The proposed alternate alternative design and operation;
     
    3) The hydrogeologic setting of the facility, including the attenuative
    capacity and thickness of the liners and soils present between the
    impoundment and groundwater or surface water; and
     
    4) All other factors which that would influence the quality and mobility of
    the leachate produced and the potential for it to migrate to groundwater or
    surface water.
     
    c) The owner or operator of each new surface impoundment unit on which
    construction commences after January 29, 1992, each lateral expansion of a
    surface impoundment unit on which construction commences after July 29, 1992,
    and each replacement of an existing surface impoundment unit that is to
    commence reuse after July 29, 1992, shall must install two or more liners and a
    leachate collection and removal system between such liners. “Construction
    commences” is as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110, under the definition of
    “existing facility.”.
     
    1) Liner requirements.
     
    A) The liner system must include the following:
     
    i) A top liner designed and constructed of materials (e.g., a
    geomembrane) to prevent the migration of hazardous
    constituents into such liner during the active life and post-
    closure care period; and
     
    ii) A composite bottom liner, consisting of at least two
    components. The upper component must be designed and
    constructed of materials (e.g., a geomembrane) to prevent
    the migration of hazardous constituents into this component
    during the active life and post-closure care period. The
    lower component must be designed and constructed of
    materials to minimize the migration of hazardous
    constituents if a breach in the upper component were to

     
     
    374
    occur. The lower component must be constructed of at
    least 3 feet (91 cm) of compacted soil material with a
    hydraulic conductivity of no more than 1 x 10
    -7
    cm/sec.
     
    B) The liners must comply with subsections (a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(3)
    above of this Section.
     
    2) The leachate collection and removal system between the liners, and
    immediately above the bottom composite liner in the case of multiple
    leachate collection and removal systems, is also a leak detection system
    (LDS). This LDS must be capable of detecting, collecting, and removing
    leaks of hazardous constituents at the earliest practicable time through all
    areas of the top liner likely to be exposed to waste or leachate during the
    active life and post-closure care period. The requirements for a LDS in
    this subsection (c) are satisfied by installation of a system that is, at a
    minimum, as follows:
     
    A) Constructed
    It is constructed with a bottom slope of one percent or
    more;
     
    B) Constructed
    It is constructed of granular drainage materials with a
    hydraulic conductivity of 1 x 10
    -1
    cm/sec or more and a thickness
    of 12 inches (30.5 cm) or more; or constructed of synthetic or
    geonet drainage materials with a transmissivity of 3 x 10
    -4
    m
    2
    /sec
    or more;
     
    C) Constructed
    It is constructed of materials that are chemically
    resistant to the waste managed in the surface impoundment and the
    leachate expected to be generated, and of sufficient strength and
    thickness to prevent collapse under the pressures exerted by
    overlying wastes and any waste cover materials or equipment used
    at the surface impoundment;
     
    D) Designed
    It is designed and operated to minimize clogging during
    the active life and post-closure care period; and
     
    E) Constructed
    It is constructed with sumps and liquid removal
    methods (e.g., pumps) of sufficient size to collect and remove
    liquids from the sump and prevent liquids from backing up into the
    drainage layer. Each unit must have its own sump(s) sumps. The
    design of each sump and removal system must provide a method
    for measuring and recording the volume of liquids present in the
    sump and of liquids removed.
     

     
     
    375
    3) The owner or operator shall must collect and remove pumpable liquids in
    the sumps to minimize the head on the bottom liner.
     
    4) The owner or operator of a LDS that is not located completely above the
    seasonal high water table must demonstrate that the operation of the LDS
    will not be adversely affected by the presence of groundwater.
     
    d) Subsection (c) above of this Section will not apply if the owner or operator
    demonstrates to the Agency, and the Agency finds for such surface impoundment,
    that alternative design or operating practices, together with location
    characteristics, will do the following:
     
    1) Will
    It will prevent the migration of any hazardous constituent into the
    groundwater or surface water at least as effectively as the liners and
    leachate collection and removal system specified in subsection (c) above
    of this Section; and
     
    2) Will
    It will allow detection of leaks of hazardous constituents through the
    top liner at least as effectively.
     
    e) The double liner requirement set forth in subsection (c) above of this Section may
    be waived by the Agency for any monofill, if the following is true of the unit:
     
    1) The monofill contains only hazardous wastes from foundry furnace
    emission controls or metal casting molding sand, and such wastes do not
    contain constituents which that would render the wastes hazardous for
    reasons other than the toxicity characteristic in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.124;
    and
     
    2) Design and location.
     
    A) Liner, location, and groundwater monitoring.
     
    i) The monofill has at least one liner for which there is no
    evidence that such liner is leaking. For the purposes of this
    subsection (e), the term “liner” means a liner designed,
    constructed, installed, and operated to prevent hazardous
    waste from passing into the liner at any time during the
    active life of the facility, or a liner designed, constructed,
    installed, and operated to prevent hazardous waste from
    migrating beyond the liner to adjacent subsurface soil,
    groundwater, or surface water at any time during the active
    life of the facility. In the case of any surface impoundment
    which that has been exempted from the requirements of

     
     
    376
    subsection (c) above of this Section on the basis of a liner
    designed, constructed, installed, and operated to prevent
    hazardous waste from passing beyond the liner, at the
    closure of such impoundment, the owner or operator must
    remove or decontaminate all waste residues, all
    contaminated liner material, and contaminated soil to the
    extent practicable. If all contaminated soil is not removed
    or decontaminated, the owner or operator of such
    impoundment will comply with appropriate post-closure
    requirements, including but not limited to groundwater
    monitoring and corrective action;
     
    ii) The monofill is located more than one-quarter mile from an
    underground source of drinking water (as that term is
    defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.110); and
     
    iii) The monofill is in compliance with generally applicable
    groundwater monitoring requirements for facilities with
    permits; or
     
    B) The owner or operator demonstrates to the Board that the monofill
    is located, designed, and operated so as to assure that there will be
    no migration of any hazardous constituent into groundwater or
    surface water at any future time.
     
    f) The owner or operator of any replacement surface impoundment unit is exempt
    from subsection (c) above of this Section if the following is true of the unit:
     
    1) The existing unit was constructed in compliance with the design standards
    of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.321(c), (d), and (e), as amended in R86-1, at 10
    Ill. Reg. 14119, effective August 12, 1986; and
     
    BOARD NOTE: The cited subsections implemented the design standards
    of sections 3004 (o)(1)(A)(i) and (o)(5) of the Resource Conservation and
    Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. USC 6901 et seq.).
     
    2) There is no reason to believe that the liner is not functioning as designed.
     
    g) A surface impoundment must be designed, constructed, maintained, and operated
    to prevent overtopping resulting from normal or abnormal operations; overfilling;
    wind and wave action; rainfall; run-on; malfunctions of level controllers, alarms,
    and other equipment; and human error.
     

     
     
    377
    h) A surface impoundment must have dikes that are designed, constructed, and
    maintained with sufficient structural integrity to prevent massive failure of the
    dikes. In ensuring structural integrity, it must not be presumed that the liner
    system will function without leakage during the active life of the unit.
     
    i) The Agency will must specify in the permit all design and operating practices that
    are necessary to ensure that the requirements of this Section are satisfied.
     
    (Source: Amended at 27 Ill. Reg. ________, effective ____________________)
     
    Section 724.322 Action Leakage Rate
     
    a) The Agency shall must approve an action leakage rate for surface impoundment
    units subject to Section 724.321(c) or (d). The action leakage rate is the
    maximum design flow rate that the LDS can remove without the fluid head on the
    bottom liner exceeding 1 foot. The action leakage rate must include an adequate
    safety margin to allow for uncertainties in the design (e.g., slope, hydraulic
    conductivity, thickness of drainage material, etc.), construction, operation, and
    location of the LDS, waste and leachate characteristics, likelihood and amounts of
    other sources of liquids in the LDS, and proposed response actions (e.g., the
    action leakage rate must consider decreases in the flow capacity of the system
    over time resulting from siltation and clogging, rib layover and creep of synthetic
    components of the system, overburden pressures, etc.).
     
    b) To determine if the action leakage rate has been exceeded, the owner or operator
    shall must convert the weekly or monthly flow rate from the monitoring data
    obtained under Section 724.326(d) to an average daily flow rate (gallons per acre
    per day) for each sump. The average daily flow rate for each sump must be
    calculated weekly during the active life and closure period and, if the unit is
    closed in accordance with Section 724.328(b), monthly during the post-closure
    care period, unless the Agency approves a different frequency pursuant to Section
    724.326(d).
     
    (Source: Amended at 27 Ill. Reg. ________, effective ____________________)
     
    Section 724.323 Response Actions
     
    a) The owner or operator of surface impoundment units subject to Section
    724.321(c) or (d) shall must have an approved response action plan before receipt
    of waste. The response action plan must set forth the actions to be taken if the
    action leakage rate has been exceeded. At a minimum, the response action plan
    must describe the actions specified in subsection (b) below of this Section.
     

     
     
    378
    b) If the flow rate into the LDS exceeds the action leakage rate for any sump, the
    owner or operator shall must do the following:
     
    1) Notify the Agency in writing of the exceedence within 7 seven days of
    after the determination;
     
    2) Submit a preliminary written assessment to the Agency within 14 days of
    after the determination, as to the amount of liquids, likely sources of
    liquids, possible location, size and cause of any leaks, and short-term
    actions taken and planned;
     
    3) Determine to the extent practicable the location, size, and cause of any
    leak;
     
    4) Determine whether waste receipt should cease or be curtailed, whether
    any waste should be removed from the unit for inspection, repairs or
    controls, and whether or not the unit should be closed;
     
    5) Determine any other short-term and longer-term actions to be taken to
    mitigate or stop any leaks; and
     
    6) Within 30 days after the notification that the action leakage rate has been
    exceeded, submit to the Agency the results of the determinations specified
    in subsections (b)(3), (b)(4), and (b)(5) above of this Section, the results of
    actions taken, and actions planned. Monthly thereafter, as long as the
    flow rate in the LDS exceeds the action leakage rate, the owner or
    operator shall must submit to the Agency a report summarizing the results
    of any remedial actions taken and actions planned.
     
    c) To make the leak or remediation determinations in subsections (b)(3), (b)(4), and
    (b)(5) above of this Section, the owner or operator shall must do either of the
    following:
     
    1) Perform the following assessments:
     
    A) Assess the source of liquids and amounts of liquids by source;
     
    B) Conduct a fingerprint, hazardous constituent, or other analyses of
    the liquids in the LDS to identify the source of liquids and possible
    location of any leaks, and the hazard and mobility of the liquid;
    and
     
    C) Assess the seriousness of any leaks in terms of potential for
    escaping into the environment; or

     
     
    379
     
    2) Document why such assessments are not needed.

    Section 724.326 Monitoring and Inspection
     
    a) During construction and installation, liners (except in the case of existing portions
    of surface impoundments exempt from Section 724.321(a)) and cover systems
    (e.g., membranes, sheets, or coatings) must be inspected for uniformity, damage
    and imperfections (e.g., holes, cracks, thin spots, or foreign materials).
    Immediately after construction or installation:
     
    1) Synthetic liners and covers must be inspected to ensure tight seams and
    joints and the absence of tears, punctures, and blisters; and
     
    2) Soil-based and admixed liners and covers must be inspected for
    imperfections including lenses, cracks, channels, root holes, or other
    structural non-uniformities that may cause an increase in the permeability
    of that liner or cover.
     
    b) While a surface impoundment is in operation, it must be inspected weekly and
    after storms to detect evidence of any of the following:
     
    1) Deterioration, malfunctions, or improper operation of overtopping control
    systems;
     
    2) Sudden drops in the level of the impoundment’s contents; and,
     
    3) Severe erosion or other signs of deterioration in dikes or other
    containment devices.
     
    c) Prior to the issuance of a permit, and after any extended period of time (more than
    six months) during which the impoundment was not in service, the owner or
    operator shall must obtain a certification from a qualified engineer that the
    impoundment’s dike, including that portion of any dike which that provides
    freeboard, has structural integrity. The certification must establish, in particular,
    that the following are true of the dike:
     
    1) Will
    It will withstand the stress of the pressure exerted by the types and
    amounts of wastes to be placed in the impoundment; and
     
    2) Will
    It will not fail due to scouring or piping, without dependence on any
    liner system included in the surface impoundment construction.

     
     
    380
     
    d) Monitoring of LDS.
     
    1) An owner or operator required to have a LDS under Section 724.321(c) or
    (d) shall must record the amount of liquids removed from each LDS sump
    at least once each week during the active life and closure period.
     
    2) After the final cover is installed, the amount of liquids removed from each
    LDS sump must be recorded at least monthly. If the liquid level in the
    sump stays below the pump operating level for two consecutive months,
    the amount of liquids in the sumps must be recorded at least quarterly. If
    the liquid level in the sump stays below the pump operating level for two
    consecutive quarters, the amount of liquids in the sumps must be recorded
    at least semi-annually. If at any time during the post-closure care period
    the pump operating level is exceeded at units on quarterly or semi-annual
    recording schedules, the owner or operator shall must return to monthly
    recording of amounts of liquids removed from each sump until the liquid
    level again stays below the pump operating level for two consecutive
    months.
     
    3) “Pump operating level” is a liquid level proposed by the owner or operator
    pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.203(b)(5) and approved by the Agency
    based on pump activation level, sump dimensions, and level that avoids
    backup into the drainage layer and minimizes head in the sump.

    Section 724.351 Design and Operating Requirements
     
    a) A waste pile (except for an existing portion of a waste pile) must have the
    following:
     
    1) A liner that is designed, constructed, and installed to prevent any
    migration of wastes out of the pile into the adjacent subsurface soil or
    groundwater or surface water at any time during the active life (including
    the closure period) of the waste pile. The liner may be constructed of
    materials that may allow waste to migrate into the liner itself (but not into
    the adjacent subsurface soil or groundwater or surface water) during the
    active life of the facility. The liner must be as follows:
     
    A) Constructed of materials that have appropriate chemical properties
    and sufficient strength and thickness to prevent failure due to
    pressure gradients (including static head and external
    hydrogeologic forces), physical contact with the waste or leachate
    to which they are exposed, climatic conditions, the stress of
    installation, and the stress of daily operation;
     
    B) Placed upon a foundation or base capable of providing support to
    the liner and resistance to pressure gradients above and below the
    liner to prevent failure of the liner due to settlement, compression,
    or uplift; and
     
    C) Installed to cover all surrounding earth likely to be in contact with
    the waste or leachate; and
     
    2) A leachate collection and removal system immediately above the liner that
    is designed, constructed, maintained, and operated to collect and remove
    leachate from the pile. The Agency shall must specify design and
    operating conditions in the permit to ensure that the leachate depth over
    the liner does not exceed 30 cm (one foot). The leachate collection and
    removal system must be as follows:
     
    A) Constructed of materials that are as follows:
     
    i) Chemically resistant to the waste managed in the pile and
    the leachate expected to be generated; and

     
     
    387
     
    ii) Of sufficient strength and thickness to prevent collapse
    under the pressures exerted by overlying wastes, waste
    cover materials and by any equipment used at the pile; and
     
    B) Designed and operated to function without clogging through the
    scheduled closure of the waste pile.
     
    b) The owner or operator will be exempted from the requirements of subsection (a)
    above of this Section if the Board grants an adjusted standard pursuant to Section
    28.1 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/28.1] and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart G 101 and
    104. The level of justification is a demonstration by the owner or operator that
    alternate alternative design or operating practices, together with location
    characteristics, will prevent the migration of any hazardous constituents (see
    Section 724.193) into the groundwater or surface water at any future time. In
    deciding whether to grant an adjusted standard, the Board will consider the
    following:
     
    1) The nature and quantity of the wastes;
     
    2) The proposed alternate alternative design and operation;
     
    3) The hydrogeologic setting of the facility, including attenuative capacity
    and thickness of the liners and soils present between the pile and
    groundwater or surface water; and
     
    4) All other factors which that influence the quality and mobility of the
    leachate produced and the potential for it to migrate to groundwater or
    surface water.
     
    c) The owner or operator of each new waste pile unit on which construction
    commences commenced after January 29, 1992, each lateral expansion of a waste
    pile unit on which construction commences commenced after July 29, 1992, and
    each replacement of an existing waste pile unit that is was to commence reuse
    after July 29, 1992, shall must install two or more liners and a leachate collection
    and removal system above and between such liners. “Construction commences
    commenced” is as defined in Section 720.110 under “existing facility.”.
     
    1) Liners.
     
    A) The liner system must include the following:
     
    i) A top liner designed and constructed of materials (e.g., a
    geomembrane) to prevent the migration of hazardous

     
     
    388
    constituents into such liner during the active life and post-
    closure care period; and
     
    ii) A composite bottom liner, consisting of at least two
    components. The upper component must be designed and
    constructed of materials (e.g., a geomembrane) to prevent
    the migration of hazardous constituents into this component
    during the active life and post-closure care period. The
    lower component must be designed and constructed of
    materials to minimize the migration of hazardous
    constituents if a breach in the upper component were to
    occur. The lower component must be constructed of at
    least 3 feet (91 cm) of compacted soil material with a
    hydraulic conductivity of no more than 1X10
    -7
    1
    ×
    10
    -7
     
    cm/sec.
     
    B) The liners must comply with subsections (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B), and
    (a)(1)(C) above of this Section.
     
    2) The leachate collection and removal system immediately above the top
    liner must be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to collect
    and remove leachate from the waste pile during the active life and post-
    closure care period. The Agency will must specify design and operating
    conditions in the permit to ensure that the leachate depth over the liner
    does not exceed 30 cm (one foot). The leachate collection and removal
    system must comply with subsections (c)(3)(C) and (c)(3)(D) below of
    this Section.
     
    3) The leachate collection and removal system between the liners, and
    immediately above the bottom composite liner in the case of multiple
    leachate collection and removal systems, is also a leak detection system
    (LDS). This LDS must be capable of detecting, collecting and removing
    leaks of hazardous constituents at the earliest practicable time through all
    areas of the top liner likely to be exposed to waste or leachate during the
    active life and post-closure care period. The requirements for a LDS in
    this subsection (c) are satisfied by installation of a system that is, at a
    minimum, as follows:
     
    A) Constructed with a bottom slope of one percent or more;
     
    B) Constructed of granular drainage materials with a hydraulic
    conductivity of 1X10
    -2
    cm/sec or more and a thickness of 12
    inches (30.5 cm) or more; or constructed of synthetic or geonet
    drainage materials with a transmissivity of 3X10
    -5
    m
    2
    /sec or more:;

     
     
    389
     
    C) Constructed of materials that are chemically resistant to the waste
    managed in the waste pile and the leachate expected to be
    generated, and of sufficient strength and thickness to prevent
    collapse under the pressures exerted by overlying wastes, waste
    cover materials, and equipment used at the waste pile;
     
    D) Designed and operated to minimize clogging during the active life
    and post-closure care period; and
     
    E) Constructed with sumps and liquid removal methods (e.g., pumps)
    of sufficient size to collect and remove liquids from the sump and
    prevent liquids from backing up into the drainage layer. Each unit
    must have its own sump(s) sumps. The design of each sump and
    removal system must provide a method for measuring and
    recording the volume of liquids present in the sump and of liquids
    removed.
     
    4) The owner or operator shall must collect and remove pumpable liquids in
    the LDS sumps to minimize the head on the bottom liner.
     
    5) The owner or operator of a LDS that is not located completely above the
    seasonal high water table shall must demonstrate that the operation of the
    LDS will not be adversely affected by the presence of ground water
    groundwater.
     
    d) The Agency shall must approve alternative design or operating practices to those
    specified in subsection (c) above of this Section if the owner or operator
    demonstrates to the Agency, by way of permit or permit modification application,
    that such design or operating practices, together with location characteristics, will
    do the following:
     
    1) Will prevent the migration of any hazardous constituent into the ground
    water or surface water at least as effectively as the liners and leachate
    collection and removal systems specified in subsection (c) above of this
    Section; and
     
    2) Will allow detection of leaks of hazardous constituents through the top
    liner at least as effectively.
     
    e) Subsection (c) above of this Section does not apply to monofills that are granted a
    waiver by the Agency in accordance with Section 724.321(e).
     

     
     
    390
    f) The owner or operator of any replacement waste pile unit is exempt from
    subsection (c) above of this Section if the following are true:
     
    1) The existing unit was constructed in compliance with the design standards
    of section 3004(o)(1)(A)(i) and (o)(5) of the Resource Conservation and
    Recovery Act (42 USC 6901 et seq.); and
     
    BOARD NOTE: The cited provisions required the installation of two or
    more liners and a leachate collection system above (in the case of a
    landfill) and between such liners, including a top liner designed, operated
    and constructed of materials to prevent the migration of any constituent
    into such liner during the period the facility remained in operation
    (including any post-closure monitoring period), and a lower liner to
    prevent the migration of any constituent through the liner during such
    period. The lower liner was deemed to satisfy the requirement if it was
    constructed of at least a 3-foot thick layer of recompacted clay or other
    natural material with a permeability of no more than 1 x 10
    -7
    cm/sec.
     
    2) There is no reason to believe that the liner is not functioning as designed.
     
    g) The owner or operator shall must design, construct, operate, and maintain a run-
    on control system capable of preventing flow onto the active portion of the pile
    during peak discharge from at least a 25-year storm.
     
    h) The owner or operator shall must design, construct, operate, and maintain a run-
    off management system to collect and control at least the water volume resulting
    from a 24-hour, 25-year storm.
     
    i) Collection and holding facilities (e.g., tanks or basins) associated with run-on and
    run-off control systems must be emptied or otherwise managed expeditiously
    after storms to maintain design capacity of the system.
     
    j) If the pile contains any particulate matter which that may be subject to wind
    dispersal, the owner or operator shall must cover or otherwise manage the pile to
    control wind dispersal.
     
    k) The Agency shall must specify in the permit all design and operating practices
    that are necessary to ensure that the requirements of this Section are satisfied.

    Section 724.352 Action Leakage Rate
     
    a) The Agency shall must approve an action leakage rate for surface impoundment
    units subject to Section 724.351(c) or (d). The action leakage rate is the
    maximum design flow rate that the LDS can remove without the fluid head on the
    bottom liner exceeding 1 one foot. The action leakage rate must include an
    adequate safety margin to allow for uncertainties in the design (e.g., slope,
    hydraulic conductivity, thickness of drainage material, etc.), construction,
    operation, and location of the LDS,; waste and leachate characteristics,;
    likelihood and amounts of other sources of liquids in the LDS,; and proposed
    response actions (e.g., the action leakage rate must consider decreases in the flow
    capacity of the system over time resulting from siltation and clogging, rib layover
    and creep of synthetic components of the system, overburden pressures, etc.).
     
    b) To determine if the action leakage rate has been exceeded, the owner or operator
    shall must convert the weekly or monthly flow rate from the monitoring data
    obtained under Section 724.354(c) to an average daily flow rate (gallons per acre
    per day) for each sump. The average daily flow rate for each sump must be
    calculated weekly during the active life and closure period.

    Section 724.378 Unsaturated Zone Monitoring
     
    An owner or operator subject to this Subpart M must establish an unsaturated zone monitoring
    program to carry out the following responsibilities:
     
    a) The owner or operator must monitor the soil and soil-pore liquid to determine
    whether hazardous constituents migrate out of the treatment zone.
     
    1) The Agency will must specify the hazardous constituents to be monitored
    in the facility permit. The hazardous constituents to be monitored are
    those specified under Section 724.371(b).
     
    2) The Agency may require monitoring for principal hazardous constituents
    (PHCs) in lieu of the constituents specified under Section 724.371(b).
    PCHs are hazardous constituents contained in the wastes to be applied at
    the unit that are the most difficult to treat, considering the combined
    effects of degradation, transformation, and immobilization. The Agency
    will must establish PHCs if it finds, based on waste analyses, treatment
    demonstrations, or other data, that effective degradation transformation or
    immobilization of the PHCs will assure treatment at at least equivalent
    levels for the other hazardous constituents in the wastes.
     
    b) The owner or operator must install an unsaturated zone monitoring system that
    includes soil monitoring using soil cores and soil-pore liquid monitoring using
    devices such as lysimeters. The unsaturated zone monitoring system must consist
    of a sufficient number of sampling points at appropriate locations and depths to
    yield samples that fulfill the following:
     
    1) Represent the quality of background soil-pore liquid quality and the
    chemical make-up of soil that has not been affected by leakage from the
    treatment zone; and
     
    2) Indicate the quality of soil-pore liquid and the chemical make-up of the
    soil below the treatment zone.
     
    c) The owner or operator must establish a background value for each hazardous
    constituent to be monitored under paragraph subsection (a) of this Section. The
    permit will specify the background values for each constituent or specify the
    procedures to be used to calculate the background values.
     
    1) Background soil values may be based on a one-time sampling at a
    background plot having characteristics similar to those of the treatment
    zone.
     

     
     
    403
    2) Background soil-pore liquid values must be based on at least quarterly
    sampling for one year at a background plot having characteristics similar
    to those of the treatment zone.
     
    3) The owner or operator must express all background values in a form
    necessary for the determination of statistically significant increases under
    paragraph subsection (f) of this Section.
     
    4) In taking samples used in the determination of all background values, the
    owner or operator must use an unsaturated zone monitoring system that
    complies with paragraph subsection (b)(1) of this Section.
     
    d) The owner or operator must conduct soil monitoring and soil-pore liquid
    monitoring immediately below the treatment zone. The Agency will must specify
    the frequency and timing of soil and soil-pore liquid monitoring in the facility
    permit after considering the frequency, timing, and rate of waste application and
    the soil permeability. The owner or operator must express the results of soil and
    soil-pore liquid monitoring in a form necessary for the determination of
    statistically significant increases under paragraph subsection (f) of this Section.
     
    e) The owner or operator must use consistent sampling and analysis procedures that
    are designed to ensure sampling results that provide a reliable indication of soil-
    pore liquid quality and the chemical make-up of the soil below the treatment
    zone. At a minimum, the owner or operator must implement procedures and
    techniques for the following:
     
    1) Sample collection;
     
    2) Sample preservation and shipment;
     
    3) Analytical procedures; and
     
    4) Chain of custody control.
     
    f) The owner or operator must determine whether there is a statistically significant
    change over background values for any hazardous constituent to be monitored
    under paragraph subsection (a) of this Section below the treatment zone each time
    it conducts soil monitoring and soil-pore liquid monitoring under paragraph
    subsection (d) of this Section.
     
    1) In determining whether a statistically significant increase has occurred, the
    owner or operator must compare the value of each constituent, as
    determined under paragraph subsection (d) of this Section, to the

     
     
    404
    background value for that constituent according to the statistical procedure
    specified in the facility permit under this paragraph subsection (f).
     
    2) The owner or operator must determine whether there has been a
    statistically significant increase below the treatment zone within a
    reasonable time period after completion of sampling. The Agency will
    must specify that time period in the facility permit after considering the
    complexity of the statistical test and the availability of laboratory facilities
    to perform the analysis of soil and soil-pore liquid samples.
     
    3) The owner or operator must determine whether there is a statistically
    significant increase below the treatment zone using a statistical procedure
    that provides reasonable confidence that migration from the treatment
    zone will be identified. The Agency will must specify a statistical
    procedure in the facility permit that it finds fulfills the following:
     
    A) Is appropriate for the distribution of the data used to establish
    background values; and
     
    B) Provides a reasonable balance between the probability of falsely
    identifying migration from the treatment zone and the probability
    of failing to identify real migration from the treatment zone.
     
    g) If the owner or operator determines, pursuant to paragraph subsection (f) of this
    Section, that there is a statistically significant increase of hazardous constituents
    below the treatment zone, it must do the following:
     
    1) Notify the Agency of this finding in writing within seven days. The
    notification must indicate what constituents have shown statistically
    significant increases.
     
    2) Within 90 days, submit to the Agency an application for a permit
    modification to modify the operating practices at the facility in order to
    maximize the success of degradation, transformation, or immobilization
    processes in the treatment zone.
     
    h) If the owner or operator determines, pursuant to paragraph subsection (f) of this
    Section, that there is a statistically significant increase of hazardous constituents
    below the treatment zone, it may demonstrate that a source other than regulated
    units caused the increase or that the increase resulted from an error in sampling,
    analysis, or evaluation. While the owner or operator may make a demonstration
    under this paragraph subsection (h) in addition to, or in lieu of, submitting a
    permit modification application under paragraph subsection (g)(2) of this Section,
    it is not relieved of the requirement to submit a permit modification application

     
     
    405
    within the time specified in paragraph subsection (g)(2) of this Section, unless the
    demonstration made under this paragraph subsection (h) successfully shows that a
    source other than regulated units caused the increase or that the increase resulted
    from an error in sampling, analysis, or evaluation. In making a demonstration
    under this paragraph subsection (h), the owner or operator must do the following:
     
    1) Notify the Agency in writing within seven days of determining a
    statistically significant increase below the treatment zone that the owner or
    operator intends to make a determination under this paragraph subsection
    (h);
     
    2) Within 90 days, submit a report to the Agency demonstrating that a source
    other than the regulated units caused the increase or that the increase
    resulted from error in sampling, analysis, or evaluation;
     
    3) Within 90 days, submit to the Agency an application for a permit
    modification to make any appropriate changes to the unsaturated zone
    monitoring program at the facility; and
     
    4) Continue to monitor in accordance with the unsaturated zone monitoring
    program established under this section Section.

    Section 724.380 Closure and Post-closure Post-Closure Care
     
    a) During the closure period the owner or operator must do the following:
     
    1) Continue all operations (including pH control) necessary to maximize
    degradation, transformation, or immobilization of hazardous constituents
    within the treatment zone, as required under Section 724.373(a), except to
    the extent such measures are inconsistent with paragraph subsection (a)(8)
    of this Section.;
     
    2) Continue all operations in the treatment zone to minimize run-off of
    hazardous constituents, as required under Section 724.373(b);

     
     
    406
     
    3) Maintain the run-on control system required under Section 724.373(c);
     
    4) Maintain the run-off management system required under Section
    724.373(d);
     
    5) Control wind dispersal of hazardous waste if required under Section
    724.373(f);
     
    6) Continue to comply with any prohibitions or conditions concerning
    growth of food-chain crops under Section 724.376;
     
    7) Continue unsaturated zone monitoring in compliance with Section
    724.378, except that soil-pore liquid monitoring may be terminated 90
    days after the last application of waste to the treatment zone; and
     
    8) Establish a vegetative cover on the portion of the facility being closed at
    such time that the cover will not substantially impede degradation,
    transformation, or immobilization of hazardous constituents in the
    treatment zone. The vegetative cover must be capable of maintaining
    growth without extensive maintenance.
     
    b) For the purpose of complying with Section 724.215, when closure is completed
    the owner or operator may submit to the Agency certification by an independent
    qualified soil scientist, in lieu of an independent registered professional engineer,
    that the facility has been closed in accordance with the specifications in the
    approved closure plan.
     
    c) During the post-closure care period the owner or operator must do the following:
     
    1) Continue all operations (including pH control) necessary to enhance
    degradation and transformation and sustain immobilization of hazardous
    constituents in the treatment zone to the extent that such measures are
    consistent with other post-closure care activities;
     
    2) Maintain a vegetative cover over closed portions of the facility;
     
    3) Maintain the run-on control system required under Section 724.373(c);

    407
     
    6) Continue to comply with any prohibitions or conditions concerning
    growth of food-chain crops under Section 724.376; and
     
    7) Continue unsaturated zone monitoring in compliance with Section
    724.378, except that soil-pore liquid monitoring may be terminated 90
    days after the last application of waste to the treatment zone.
     
    d) The owner or operator is not subject to regulation under paragraphs subsections
    (a)(8) and (c) of this Section if the Agency finds that the level of hazardous
    constituents in the treatment zone soil does not exceed the background value of
    those constituents by an amount that is statistically significant when using the test
    specified in paragraph subsection (d)(3) of this Section. The owner or operator
    may submit such a demonstration to the Agency at any time during the closure or
    post-closure care periods. For the purposes of this paragraph subsection (d), the
    owner or operator must do the following:
     
    1) The owner or operator must establish background soil values and
    determine whether there is a statistically significant increase over those
    values for all hazardous constituents specified in the facility permit under
    Section 724.371.
     
    A) Background soil values may be based on a one-time sampling of a
    background plot having characteristics similar to those of the
    treatment zone.
     
    B) The owner or operator must express background values and values
    for hazardous constituents in the treatment zone in a form
    necessary for the determination of statistically significant increases
    under paragraph subsection (d)(3) of this Section.
     
    2) In taking samples used in the determination of background and treatment
    zone values, the owner or operator must take samples at a sufficient
    number of sampling points and at appropriate locations and depths to yield
    samples that represent the chemical make-up of soil that has not been
    affected by leakage from the treatment zone and the soil within the
    treatment zone, respectively.
     
    3) In determining whether a statistically significant increase has occurred, the
    owner or operator must compare the value of each constituent in the
    treatment zone to the background value for that constituent using a
    statistical procedure that provides reasonable confidence that constituent
    presence in the treatment zone will be identified. The owner or operator
    must use a statistical procedure that does the following:

     
     
    408
     
    A) Is appropriate for the distribution of the data used to establish
    background values; and
     
    B) Provides a reasonable balance between the probability of falsely
    identifying hazardous constituent presence in the treatment zone
    and the probability of failing to identify real presence in the
    treatment zone.
     
    e) The owner or operator is not subject to regulation under Subpart F of this Part if
    the Agency finds that the owner or operator satisfies paragraph subsection (d) of
    this Section and if unsaturated zone monitoring under Section 724.378 indicates
    that hazardous constituents have not migrated beyond the treatment zone during
    the active life of the land treatment unit.

    Section 724.381 Special Requirements for Ignitable or Reactive Waste
     
    The owner or operator must not apply ignitable or reactive waste to the treatment zone, unless
    the waste and and the treatment zone satisfy all applicable requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    728, and the following is true:
     
    a) The waste is immediately incorporated into the soil so that the following is true:
     
    1) The resulting waste, mixture or dissolution of material no longer meets the
    definition of ignitable or reactive waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.121
    or 721.123; and
     
    2) Section 724.117(b) is complied with; or
     
    b) The waste is managed in such a way that it is protected from any material or
    conditions which that may cause it to ignite or react.

    Section 724.383 Special Requirements for Hazardous Wastes F020, F021, F022, F023,
    F026, and F027
     
    a) Hazardous Wastes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027 must not be placed in
    a land treatment unit unless the owner or operator operates the facility in
    accordance with a management plan for these wastes that is approved by the
    Agency pursuant to the standards set out in this paragraph subsection (a), and in
    accord with all other applicable requirements of this Part. The factors to be
    considered are the following:
     
    1) The volume, physical, and chemical characteristics of the wastes,
    including their potential to migrate through soil or to volatilize or escape
    into the atmosphere;
     
    2) The attenuative properties of underlying and surrounding soils or other
    materials;
     
    3) The mobilizing properties of other materials co-disposed with these
    wastes; and
     
    4) The effectiveness of additional treatment, design, or monitoring
    techniques.
     
    b) The Agency may determine that additional design, operating and monitoring
    requirements are necessary for land treatment facilities managing hazardous
    wastes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027 in order to reduce the possibility
    of migration of these wastes to ground-water, surface water, or air so as to protect
    human health and the environment.

    Section 724.401 Design and Operating Requirements
     
    a) Any landfill that is not covered by subsection (c) below of this Section or 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 725.401(a) must have a liner system for all portions of the landfill
    (except for existing portions of such landfill). The liner system must have the
    following:
     
    1) A liner that is designed, constructed, and installed to prevent any
    migration of wastes out of the landfill to the adjacent subsurface soil or
    groundwater or surface water at any time during the active life (including
    the closure period) of the landfill. The liner must be constructed of
    materials that prevent wastes from passing into the liner during the active
    life of the facility. The liner must be fulfill the following:
     
    A) Constructed
    It must be constructed of materials that have
    appropriate chemical properties and sufficient strength and
    thickness to prevent failure due to pressure gradients (including
    static head and external hydrogeologic forces), physical contact
    with the waste or leachate to which they are exposed, climatic
    conditions, the stress of installation and the stress of daily
    operation;
     
    B) Placed
    It must be placed upon a foundation or base capable of
    providing support to the liner and resistance to pressure gradients
    above and below the liner to prevent failure of the liner due to
    settlement, compression, or uplift; and
     
    C) Installed
    It must be installed to cover all surrounding earth likely
    to be in contact with the waste or leachate; and
     
    2) A leachate collection and removal system immediately above the liner that
    is designed, constructed, maintained, and operated to collect and remove
    leachate from the landfill. The Agency shall must specify design and
    operating conditions in the permit to ensure that the leachate depth over
    the liner does not exceed 30 cm (one foot). The leachate collection and
    removal system must be fulfill the following:
     
    A) Constructed of materials that are fulfill the following:
     
    i) Chemically resistant to the waste managed in the landfill
    and the leachate expected to be generated; and
     
    ii) Of sufficient strength and thickness to prevent collapse
    under the pressures exerted by overlying wastes, waste

     
     
    411
    cover materials, and by any equipment used at the landfill;
    and
     
    B) Designed and operated to function without clogging through the
    scheduled closure of the landfill.
     
    b) The owner or operator will be exempted from the requirements of subsection (a)
    above of this Section if the Board grants an adjusted standard pursuant to Section
    28.1 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/28.1] and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart G 101 and
    104. The level of justification is a demonstration by the owner or operator that
    alternative design or operating practices, together with location characteristics,
    will prevent the migration of any hazardous constituents (see Section 724.193)
    into the groundwater or surface water at any future time. In deciding whether to
    grant an adjusted standard, the Board will consider the following:
     
    1) The nature and quantity of the wastes;
     
    2) The proposed alternate alternative design and operation;
     
    3) The hydrogeologic setting of the facility, including the attenuative
    capacity and thickness of the liners and soils present between the landfill
    and groundwater or surface water; and
     
    4) All other factors which that influence the quality and mobility of the
    leachate produced and the potential for it to migrate to groundwater or
    surface water.
     
    c) The owner or operator of each new landfill unit on which construction
    commences after January 29, 1992, each lateral expansion of a landfill unit on
    which construction commences commenced after July 29, 1992, and each
    replacement of an existing landfill unit that is was to commence reuse after July
    29, 1992, shall must install two or more liners and a leachate collection and
    removal system above and between such liners. “Construction commences
    commenced” is as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110 under “existing facility.”.
     
    1) Liner requirements.
     
    A) The liner system must include the following:
     
    i) A top liner designed and constructed of materials (e.g., a
    geomembrane) to prevent the migration of hazardous
    constituents into such liner during the active life and post-
    closure care period; and
     

     
     
    412
    ii) A composite bottom liner, consisting of at least two
    components. The upper component must be designed and
    constructed of materials (e.g., a geomembrane) to prevent
    the migration of hazardous constituents into this component
    during the active life and post-closure care period. The
    lower component must be designed and constructed of
    materials to minimize the migration of hazardous
    constituents if a breach in the upper component were to
    occur. The lower component must be constructed of at
    least 3 feet (91 cm) of compacted soil material with a
    hydraulic conductivity of no more than 1 X 10
    -7
    cm/sec.
     
    B) The liners must comply with subsections (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B), and
    (a)(1)(C) above of this Section.
     
    2) The leachate collection and removal system immediately above the top
    liner must be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to collect
    and remove leachate from the landfill during the active life and post-
    closure care period. The Agency will must specify design and operating
    conditions in the permit to ensure that the leachate depth over the liner
    does not exceed 30 cm (one foot). The leachate collection and removal
    system must comply with subsections (c)(3)(C) and (c)(3)(D) below of
    this Section.
     
    3) The leachate collection and removal system between the liners, and
    immediately above the bottom composite liner in the case of multiple
    leachate collection and removal systems, is also a leak detection system
    (LDS). This LDS must be capable of detecting, collecting, and removing
    leaks of hazardous constituents at the earliest practicable time through all
    areas of the top liner likely to be exposed to waste or leachate during the
    active life and post-closure care period. The requirements for a LDS in
    this subsection (c) are satisfied by installation of a system that is, at a
    minimum, fulfills the following:
     
    A) Constructed
    It is constructed with a bottom slope of one percent or
    more;
     
    B) Constructed
    It is constructed of granular drainage materials with a
    hydraulic conductivity of 1X10
    -2

    m
    2
    /sec or more;
     

     
     
    413
    C) Constructed
    It is constructed of materials that are chemically
    resistant to the waste managed in the landfill and the leachate
    expected to be generated, and of sufficient strength and thickness
    to prevent collapse under the pressures exerted by overlying
    wastes, waste cover materials, and equipment used at the landfill;
     
    D) Designed
    It is designed and operated to minimize clogging during
    the active life and post-closure care period; and
     
    E) Constructed
    It is constructed with sumps and liquid removal
    methods (e.g., pumps) of sufficient size to collect and remove
    liquids from the sump and prevent liquids from backing up into the
    drainage layer. Each unit must have its own sump(s) sumps. The
    design of each sump and removal system must provide a method
    for measuring and recording the volume of liquids present in the
    sump and of liquids removed.
     
    4) The owner or operator shall must collect and remove pumpable liquids in
    the LDS sumps to minimize the head on the bottom liner.
     
    5) The owner or operator of a LDS that is not located completely above the
    seasonal high water table shall must demonstrate that the operation of the
    LDS will not be adversely affected by the presence of ground water.
     
    d) Subsection (c) above of this Section will not apply if the owner or operator
    demonstrates to the Agency, and the Agency finds for such landfill, that
    alternative design or operating practices, together with location characteristics,
    will do the following:
     
    1) Will
    It will prevent the migration of any hazardous constituent into the
    groundwater or surface water at least as effectively as the liners and
    leachate collection and removal systems, specified in subsection (c) above
    of this Section; and
     
    2) Will
    It will allow detection of leaks of hazardous constituents through the
    top liner at least as effectively.
     
    e) The Agency shall must not require a double liner as set forth in subsection (c)
    above of this Section for any monofill, if the following is true:
     
    1) The monofill contains only hazardous wastes from foundry furnace
    emission controls or metal casting molding sand, and such wastes do not
    contain constituents which that render the wastes hazardous for reasons

     
     
    414
    other than the toxicity characteristics in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.124, with
    USEPA hazardous waste numbers D004 through D017; and
     
    2) No migration demonstration.
     
    A) Design and location requirements.
     
    i) The monofill has at least one liner for which there is no
    evidence that such liner is leaking.;
     
    ii) The monofill is located more than one-quarter mile from an
    underground source of drinking water (as that term is
    defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.110.; and
     
    iii) The monofill is in compliance with generally applicable
    groundwater monitoring requirements for facilities with
    RCRA permits; or
     
    B) The owner or operator demonstrates to the Board that the monofill
    is located, designed, and operated so as to assure that there will be
    no migration of any hazardous constituent into groundwater or
    surface water at any future time.
     
    f) The owner or operator of any replacement landfill unit is exempt from subsection
    (c) above of this Section if the following is true:
     
    1) The existing unit was constructed in compliance with the design standards
    of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.401(c), (d), and (e), as amended in R86-1, at 10
    Ill. Reg. 14119, effective August 12, 1986; and
     
    BOARD NOTE: The cited subsections implemented the design standards
    of sections 3004(o)(1)(A)(i) and (o)(5) of the Resource Conservation and
    Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.).
     
    2) There is no reason to believe that the liner is not functioning as designed.
     
    g) The owner or operator shall must design, construct, operate, and maintain a run-
    on control system capable of preventing flow onto the active portion of the
    landfill during peak discharge from at least a 25-year storm.
     
    h) The owner or operator shall must design, construct, operate, and maintain a run-
    off management system to collect and control at least the water volume resulting

    415
    i) Collection and holding facilities (e.g., tanks or basins) associated with run-on and
    run-off control systems must be emptied or otherwise managed expeditiously
    after storms to maintain design capacity of the system.
     
    j) If the landfill contains any particulate matter which that may be subject to wind
    dispersal, the owner or operator shall must cover or otherwise manage the landfill
    to control wind dispersal.
     
    k) The Agency shall must specify in the permit all design and operating practices
    that are necessary to ensure that the requirements of this Section are satisfied.

    Section 724.402 Action Leakage Rate
     
    a) The Agency shall must approve an action leakage rate for landfill units subject to
    Section 724.401(c) or (d). The action leakage rate is the maximum design flow
    rate that the LDS can remove without the fluid head on the bottom liner
    exceeding 1 foot. The action leakage rate must include an adequate safety margin
    to allow for uncertainties in the design (e.g., slope, hydraulic conductivity,
    thickness of drainage material), construction, operation, and location of the LDS,
    waste and leachate characteristics, likelihood and amounts of other sources of
    liquids in the LDS, and proposed response actions (e.g., the action leakage rate
    must consider decreases in the flow capacity of the system over time resulting
    from siltation and clogging, rib layover and creep of synthetic components of the
    system, overburden pressures, etc.).
     
    b) To determine if the action leakage rate has been exceeded, the owner or operator
    shall must convert the weekly or monthly flow rate from the monitoring data
    obtained under Section 724.403(c) to an average daily flow rate (gallons per acre
    per day) for each sump. The average daily flow rate for each sump must be
    calculated weekly during the active life and closure period, and monthly during
    the post-closure care period, unless the Agency approves a different frequency
    pursuant to Section 724.403(c)(2).

    Section 724.403 Monitoring and Inspection
     
    a) During construction or installation, liners (except in the case of existing portions
    of landfills exempt from Section 724.401(a)) and cover systems (e.g., membranes,
    sheets, or coatings) must be inspected for uniformity, damage, and imperfections

     
     
    416
    (e.g., holes, cracks, thin spots, or foreign materials). Immediately after
    construction or installation the following must occur:
     
    1) Synthetic liners and covers must be inspected to ensure tight seams and
    joints and the absence of tears, punctures, or blisters; and
     
    2) Soil-based and admixed liners and covers must be inspected for
    imperfections including lenses, cracks, channels, root holes, or other
    structural non-uniformities that may cause an increase in the permeability
    of the liner or cover.
     
    b) While a landfill is in operation, it must be inspected weekly and after storms to
    detect evidence of any of the following:
     
    1) Deterioration, malfunctions, or improper operation of run-on and run-off
    control systems;
     
    2) Proper functioning of wind dispersal control systems, where present; and
     
    3) The presence of leachate in and proper functioning of leachate collection
    and removal systems, where present.
     
    c) Monitoring of LDS.
     
    1) An owner or operator required to have a LDS under Section 724.401(c) or
    (d) shall must record the amount of liquids removed from each LDS sump
    at least once each week during the active life and closure period.
     
    2) After the final cover is installed, the amount of liquids removed from each
    LDS sump must be recorded at least monthly. If the liquid level in the
    sump stays below the pump operating level for two consecutive months,
    the amount of liquids in the sumps must be recorded at least quarterly. If
    the liquid level in the sump stays below the pump operating level for two
    consecutive quarters, the amount of liquids in the sumps must be recorded
    at least semi-annually. If at any time during the post-closure care period
    the pump operating level is exceeded at units on quarterly or semi-annual
    recording schedules, the owner or operator shall must return to monthly
    recording of amounts of liquids removed from each sump until the liquid
    level again stays below the pump operating level for two consecutive
    months.
     
    3) “Pump operating level” is a liquid level proposed by the owner or operator
    pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.207(b)(1)(E) and approved by the

     
     
    417
    Agency based on pump activation level, sump dimensions, and level that
    avoids backup into the drainage layer and minimizes head in the sump.

    Section 724.404 Response Actions
     
    a) The owner or operator of landfill units subject to Section 724.401(c) or (d) shall
    must have an approved response action plan before receipt of waste. The
    response action plan must set forth the actions to be taken if the action leakage
    rate has been exceeded. At a minimum, the response action plan must describe
    the actions specified in subsection (b) below of this Section.
     
    b) If the flow rate into the LDS exceeds the action leakage rate for any sump, the
    owner or operator shall must do the following:
     
    1) Notify the Agency in writing of the exceedence within 7 seven days of the
    determination;
     
    2) Submit a preliminary written assessment to the Agency within 14 days of
    the determination, as to the amount of liquids, likely sources of liquids,
    possible location, size, and cause of any leaks, and short-term actions
    taken and planned;
     
    3) Determine to the extent practicable the location, size, and cause of any
    leak;
     
    4) Determine whether waste receipt should cease or be curtailed, whether
    any waste should be removed from the unit for inspection, repairs, or
    controls, and whether or not the unit should be closed;
     
    5) Determine any other short-term and longer-term actions to be taken to
    mitigate or stop any leaks; and
     
    6) Within 30 days after the notification that the action leakage rate has been
    exceeded, submit to the Agency the results of the determinations specified
    in subsections (b)(3), (b)(4), and (b)(5) above of this Section, the results of
    actions taken, and actions planned. Monthly thereafter, as long as the
    flow rate in the LDS exceeds the action leakage rate, the owner or
    operator shall must submit to the Agency a report summarizing the results
    of any remedial actions taken and actions planned.
     

     
     
    418
    c) To make the leak or remediation determinations in subsections (b)(3), (b)(4), and
    (b)(5) above of this Section, the owner or operator shall must do either of the
    following:
     
    1) Perform the following assessments:
     
    A) Assess the source of liquids and amounts of liquids by source;
     
    B) Conduct a fingerprint, hazardous constituent, or other analyses of
    the liquids in the LDS to identify the source of liquids and possible
    location of any leaks, and the hazard and mobility of the liquid;
    and
     
    C) Assess the seriousness of any leaks in terms of potential for
    escaping into the environment; or
     
    2) Document why such assessments are not needed.

    shall must cover the landfill or cell with a final cover designed and constructed to
    do the following:
     
    1) Provide long-term minimization of migration of liquids through the closed
    landfill;
     
    2) Function with minimum maintenance;
     
    3) Promote drainage and minimize erosion or abrasion of the cover;
     
    4) Accommodate settling and subsidence so that the cover’s integrity is
    maintained; and
     
    5) Have a permeability less than or equal to the permeability of any bottom
    liner system or natural subsoils present.
     
    b) After final closure, the owner or operator shall must comply with all post-closure
    requirements contained in Sections 724.217 through 724.220, including
    maintenance and monitoring throughout the post-closure care period (specified in
    the permit under Section 724.217). The owner or operator shall must do the
    following:

     
     
    419
     
    1) Maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the final cover, including
    making repairs to the cap as necessary to correct the effects of settling,
    subsidence, erosion, or other events;
     
    2) Continue to operate the leachate collection and removal system until
    leachate is no longer detected;
     
    3) Maintain and monitor the LDS in accordance with Sections

    a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Section and in Section 724.416,
    ignitable or reactive waste must not be placed in a landfill, unless the waste and
    landfill meet all applicable requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728, and the waste
    is treated, rendered, or mixed before or immediately after placement in a landfill
    so that the following is true:
     
    1) The resulting waste, mixture, or dissolution of material no longer meets
    the definition of ignitable or reactive waste under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    721.121 or 721.123; and
     
    2) Section 724.117(b) is complied with.
     
    b) Except for prohibited wastes which that remain subject to treatment standards in
    35 Ill. Adm. Code.Subpart D Subpart D to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728, ignitable waste
    in containers may be landfilled without meeting the requirements of subsection
    (a) of this Section, provided that the wastes are disposed of in such a way that
    they are protected from any material or conditions which that may cause them to
    ignite. At a minimum, ignitable wastes must be disposed of in non-leaking
    containers which that are carefully handled and placed so as to avoid heat, sparks,

     
     
    420
    rupture, or any other condition that might cause ignition of the wastes; must be
    covered daily with soil or other non-combustible material to minimize the
    potential for ignition of the wastes; and must not be disposed of in cells that
    contain or will contain other wastes which that may generate heat sufficient to
    cause ignition of the waste.

    Section 724.416 Disposal of Small Containers of Hazardous Waste in Overpacked Drums
    (Lab Packs)
     
    Small containers of hazardous waste in overpacked drums (lab packs) may be placed in a landfill
    if the following requirements are met:

     
     
    423
     
    a) Hazardous waste must be packaged in non-leaking inside containers. The inside
    containers must be of a design and constructed of a material that will not react
    dangerously with, be decomposed by, or be ignited by the contained waste. The
    inside containers must be tightly and securely sealed. The inside containers must
    be of the size and type specified in the Department of Transportation (DOT)
    hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR 173, 178, and 179), if those regulations
    specify a particular inside container for the waste.
     
    b) The inside containers must be overpacked in an open head DOT-specification
    metal shipping container (49 CFR 178 and 179) of no more than 416 liter (110
    gallon) capacity and surrounded by, at a minimum, a sufficient quantity of sorbent
    material, determined to be nonbiodegradable in accordance with Section
    724.414(e), to completely sorb all of the liquid contents of the inside containers.
    The metal outer container must be full after packing with inside containers and
    sorbent material.
     
    c) In accordance with Section 724.117(b), the sorbent material used must not be
    capable of reacting dangerously with, being decomposed by, or being ignited by
    the contents of the inside containers, in accordance with Section 724.117(b).
     
    d) Incompatible waste, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110, must not be placed
    in the same outside container.
     
    e) Reactive wastes, other than cyanide- or sulfide-bearing waste as defined in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 721.123(a)(5), must be treated or rendered non-reactive prior to
    packaging in accordance with subsections (a) through (d) of this Section.
    Cyanide- and sulfide-bearing reactive waste may be packed in accordance with
    subsections (a) through (d) of this Section without first being treated or rendered
    non-reactive.
     
    f) Such disposal is in compliance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728. Persons who
    incinerate lab packs according to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.142(c)(1) may use fiber
    drums in place of metal outer containers. Such fiber drums must meet the DOT
    specifications in 49 CFR 173.12 and be overpacked according to the requirements
    of subsection (b) of this Section.
     
    g) Pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 729.312, the use of labpacks for disposal of liquid
    wastes or wastes containing free liquids allowed under this Section is restricted to
    labwaste and non-periodic waste, as those terms are defined in that Part.

    Section 724.417 Special Requirements for Hazardous Wastes F020, F021, F022, F023,
    F026, and F027
     
    a) Hazardous wastes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027 must not be placed in
    a landfill, unless the owner or operator operates the landfill in accord with a
    management plan for these wastes that is approved by the Agency pursuant to the
    standards set out in this paragraph subsection (a), and in accord with all other
    applicable requirements of this Part. The factors to be considered are the
    following:
     
    1) The volume, physical, and chemical characteristics of the wastes,
    including their potential to migrate through the soil or to volatilie
    volatilize or escape into the atmosphere;
     
    2) The attenuative properties of underlying and surrounding soils or other
    materials;
     
    3) The mobilizing properties of other materials co-disposed with these
    wastes; and
     
    4) The effectiveness of additional treatment, design, or monitoring
    requirements.
     
    b) The Agency may determine that additional design, operating, and monitoring
    requirements are necessary for landfills managing hazardous wastes F020, F021,
    F022, F023, F026, and F027 in order to reduce the possibility of migration of
    these wastes to ground-water groundwater, surface water, or air so as to protect
    human health and the environment.

    SUBPART O: INCINERATORS
     
    Section 724.440 Applicability
     
    a) The regulations in this Subpart O apply to owners and operators of hazardous
    waste incinerators (as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110), except as Section
    724.101 provides otherwise.
     
    b) Integration of the MACT standards.
     
    1) Except as provided by subsections (b)(2), and (b)(3), and (b)(4) of this
    Section, the standards of this Part no longer apply when an owner or
    operator demonstrates compliance with the maximum achievable control

     
     
    425
    technology (MACT) requirements of 40 CFR 63, Subpart EEE,
    incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, by conducting a
    comprehensive performance test and submitting to the Agency a
    Notification of Compliance, under 40 CFR 63.1207(j) and 63.1210(d)
    63.1210(b), documenting compliance with the requirements of 40 CFR 63,
    Subpart EEE. Nevertheless, even after this demonstration of compliance
    with the MACT standards, RCRA permit conditions that were based on
    the standards of this Part will continue to be in effect until they are
    removed from the permit or the permit is terminated or revoked, unless the
    permit expressly provides otherwise.
     
    2) The MACT standards of 40 CFR 63, Subpart EEE do not replace the
    closure requirements of Section 724.451 or the applicable requirements of
    Subparts A through H, BB, and CC of this Part.
     
    3) The particulate matter standard of Section 724.443(c) remains in effect for
    incinerators that elect to comply with the alternative to the particulate
    matter standard of 40 CFR 63.1206(b)(14), incorporated by reference in
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.
     
    4) The following requirements remain in effect for startup, shutdown, and
    malfunction events if the owner or operator elects to comply with 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 703.320(a)(1)(A) to minimize emissions of toxic compounds
    from the following events:
     
    A) Section 724.445(a), requiring that an incinerator operate in
    accordance with operating requirements specified in the permit;
    and
     
    B) Section 724.445(c), requiring compliance with the emission
    standards and operating requirements during startup and shutdown
    if hazardous waste is in the combustion chamber, except for
    particular hazardous wastes.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Sections 9.1 and 39.5 of the Environmental Protection Act [415
    ILCS 5/9.1 and 39.5] make the federal MACT standards directly applicable to
    entities in Illinois and authorize the Agency to issue permits based on the federal
    standards. Operating conditions used to determine effective treatment of
    hazardous waste remain effective after the owner or operator demonstrates
    compliance with the standards of 40 CFR 63, subpart EEE. In adopting this
    subsection (b), USEPA stated as follows (at 64 Fed Reg. 52828, 52975
    (September 30,1999)):
     

     
     
    426
    Under this approach . . . , MACT air emissions and related
    operating requirements are to be included in Title V permits;
    RCRA permits will continue to be required for all other aspects of
    the combustion unit and the facility that are governed by RCRA
    (e.g., corrective action, general facility standards, other
    combustor-specific concerns such as materials handling, risk-based
    emissions limits and operating requirements, as appropriate, and
    other hazardous waste management units).
     
    64 Fed Reg. 52828, 52975 (Sept. 30,1999).
     
    c) After consideration of the waste analysis included with Part B of the permit
    application, the Agency, in establishing the permit conditions, must exempt the
    applicant from all requirements of this Subpart O, except Section 724.441 (Waste
    Analysis) and Section 724.451 (Closure):
     
    1) If the Agency finds that the waste to be burned is one of the following:
     
    A) Listed
    It is listed as a hazardous waste in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 721 solely because it is ignitable (Hazard Code I), corrosive
    (Hazard Code C), or both;
     
    B) Listed It is listed as a hazardous waste in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 721 solely because it is reactive (Hazard Code R) for
    characteristics other than those listed in Section 721.123(a)(4) and
    (5), and will not be burned when other hazardous wastes are
    present in the combustion zone;
     
    C) A
    It is a hazardous waste solely because it possesses the
    characteristic of ignitability, as determined by the test for
    characteristics of hazardous wastes under Subpart C of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 721; or
     
    D) A
    It is a hazardous waste solely because it possesses any of the
    reactivity characteristics described by 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    721.123(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(6), (a)(7), and (a)(8) and will not
    be burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the
    combustion zone; and
     
    2) If the waste analysis shows that the waste contains none of the hazardous
    constituents listed in Subpart H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 that would
    reasonably be expected to be in the waste.
     

     
     
    427
    d) If the waste to be burned is one that is described by subsection (b)(1)(A),
    (b)(1)(B), (b)(1)(C), or (b)(1)(D) of this Section and contains insignificant
    concentrations of the hazardous constituents listed in Subpart H of 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 721, then the Agency may, in establishing permit conditions, exempt the
    applicant from all requirements of this Subpart O, except Section 724.441 (Waste
    Analysis) and Section 724.451 (Closure), after consideration of the waste analysis
    included with Part B of the permit application, unless the Agency finds that the
    waste will pose a threat to human health or the environment when burned in an
    incinerator.
     
    e) The owner or operator of an incinerator may conduct trial burns subject only to
    the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.222 through 703.225 (short-term and
    incinerator permits).

    Section 724.442 Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHCs)
     
    a) Principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs) in the waste feed must be
    treated to the extent required by the performance standard of Section 724.443.
     
    b) Designation of POHCs.
     
    1) One or more POHCs will be specified in the facility’s permit, from among
    those constituents listed in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721, Appendix H, for each
    waste feed to be burned. This specification will be based on the degree of
    difficulty of incineration of the organic constituents in the waste and on
    their concentration or mass in the waste feed, considering the results of
    waste analyses and trial burns or alternative data submitted with Part B of
    the facility’s permit application. Organic constituents which that represent
    the greatest degree of difficulty of incineration will be those most likely to
    be designated as POHCs. Constituents are more likely to be designated as
    POHCs if they are present in large quantities or concentrations in the
    waste.
     
    2) Trial POHCs will be designated for performance of trial burns in
    accordance with the procedure specified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.222
    through 703.225 for obtaining trial burn permits.

    Section 724.443 Performance Standards
     
    An incinerator burning hazardous waste must be designed, constructed, and maintained so that,
    when operated in accordance with operating requirements specified under Section 724.445, it
    will meet the following performance standards:
     
    a) Destruction and removal efficiency.
     
    1) Except as provided in paragraph subsection (a)(2) of this Section, an
    incinerator burning hazardous waste must achieve a destruction and
    removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% for each principal organic hazardous
    constituent (POHC) designated (under Section 724.442) in its permit for
    each waste feed. DRE is determined for each POHC from the following
    equation:
     
    DRE = 100 (N - O) / N
     
    #
    $
    N
    O
    N
    100
    DRE
    ×
    =
      
     
    Where:
     
    N = Mass feed rate of one principal organic hazardous
    constituent (POHC) in the waste stream feeding the
    incinerator, and
     
    O = Mass emission rate of the same POHC present in
    exhaust emissions prior to release to the
    atmosphere.
     
    2) An incinerator burning hazardous wastes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026,
    or F027 must achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of
    99.9999% for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC)
    designated (under Section 724.442) in its permit. This performance must
    be demonstrated on POHCs that are more difficult to incinerate than tetra-,
    penta-, and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. DRE is
    determined for each POHC from the equation in paragraph subsection
    (a)(1) of this Section. In addition, the owner or operator of the incinerator
    shall must notify the Agency of its intent to incinerate hazardous wastes
    F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027.
     
    b) An incinerator burning hazardous waste and producing stack emissions of more
    than 1.8 kilograms per hour (4 pounds per hour) of hydrogen chloride (HCl) must
    control HCl emissions such that the rate of emission is no greater than the larger

     
     
    429
    of either 1.8 kilograms per hour or 1% one percent of the HCl in the stack gas
    prior to entering any pollution control equipment.
     
    c) An incinerator burning hazardous waste must not emit particulate matter in excess
    of 180 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter (0.08 grains per dry standard
    cubic foot) when corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to
    the following formula:
     
    C = 14(M) / (21 - Y)
     
    Y

    1) Where:
     
    C = the corrected concentration of particulate matter,
     
    M = the measured concentration of particulate matter, and
     
    Y = the measured concentration of oxygen in the stack gas, using the
    Orsat method for oxygen analysis of dry flue gas, presented in 40
    CFR 60, Appendix A (Method 3).
     
    2) This correction procedure is to be used by all hazardous waste incinerators
    except those operating under conditions of oxygen enrichment. For these
    facilities, The Agency will must select an appropriate correction
    procedure, to be specified in the facility permit.
     
    d) For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating
    requirements specified in the permit (under Section 724.445) will be regarded as
    compliance with this Section. However, evidence that compliance with those
    permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the performance
    requirements of this Section may be “information” justifying modification,
    revocation or reissuance of a permit under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.184.

    Section 724.444 Hazardous Waste Incinerator Permits
     
    a) The owner or operator of a hazardous waste incinerator may burn only wastes
    specified in its permit and only under operating conditions specified for those
    wastes under Section 724.445 except the following:
     

     
     
    430
    1) In approved trial burns under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.222 through 703.225;
    or
     
    2) Under exemptions created by Section 724.440.
     
    b) Other hazardous wastes may be burned only after operating conditions have been
    specified in a new permit or a permit modification as applicable. Operating
    requirements for new wastes may be based on either trial burn results or
    alternative data included with Part B of a permit application under 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 703.205.
     
    c) The permit for a new hazardous waste incinerator must establish appropriate
    conditions for each of the applicable requirements of this Subpart O, including
    but not limited to allowable waste feeds and operating conditions necessary to
    meet the requirements of Section 724.445, sufficient to comply with the following
    standards:
     
    1) For the period beginning with initial introduction of hazardous waste to
    the incinerator and ending with initiation of the trial burn, and only for the
    minimum time required to establish operating conditions required in
    paragraph subsection (c)(2) of this Section, not to exceed a duration of
    720 hours operating time for treatment of hazardous waste, the operating
    requirements must be those most likely to ensure compliance with the
    performance standards of Section 724.443, based on the Agency’s
    engineering judgement. The Agency may extend the duration of this
    period once for up to 720 additional hours when good cause for the
    extension is demonstrated by the applicant
     
    2) For the duration of the trial burn, the operating requirements must be
    sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the performance standards of
    Section 724.443 and must be in accordance with the approved trial burn
    plan;
     
    3) For the period immediately following completion of the trial burn, and
    only for the minimum period sufficient to allow sample analysis, data
    computation, and submission of the trial burn results by the applicant, and
    review of the trial burn results and modification of the facility permit by
    the Agency, the operating requirements must be those most likely to
    ensure compliance with the performance standards of Section 724.443
    based on the Agency’s engineering judgement judgment.
     
    4) For the remaining duration of the permit, the operating requirements must
    be those demonstrated, in a trial burn or by alternative data specified in 35

     
     
    431
    Ill. Adm. Code 703.205(c), as sufficient to ensure compliance with the
    performance standards of Section 724.443.
     
    (Source: Amended at 27 Ill. Reg. ________, effective ____________________)
     
    Section 724.445 Operating Requirements
     
    a) An incinerator must be operated in accordance with operating requirements
    specified in the permit. These will be specified on a case-by-case basis as those
    demonstrated (in a trial burn or in alternative data as specified in Section
    724.444(b) and included with Part B of the facility’s permit application) to be
    sufficient to comply with the performance standards of Section 724.443.
     
    b) Each set of operating requirements will specify the composition of the waste feed
    (including acceptable variations in the physical or chemical properties of the
    waste feed which that will not affect compliance with the performance
    requirement of Section 724.443) to which the operating requirements apply. For
    each such waste feed, the permit will specify acceptable operating limits,
    including the following conditions:
     
    1) Carbon monoxide (CO) level in the stack exhaust gas;
     
    2) Waste feed rate;
     
    3) Combustion temperature;
     
    4) An appropriate indicator of combustion gas velocity;
     
    5) Allowable variations in incinerator system design or operating procedures;
    and
     
    6) Such other operating requirements as are necessary to ensure that the
    performance standards of Section 724.443 are met.
     
    c) During start-up and shut-down of an incinerator, hazardous waste (except wastes
    exempted in accordance with Section 724.440) must not be fed into the
    incinerator unless the incinerator is operating within the conditions of operation
    (temperature, air feed rate, etc.) specified in the permit.
     
    d) Fugitive emissions from the combustion zone must be controlled by the
    following:
     
    1) Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive emissions; or
     

     
     
    432
    2) Maintaining a combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure;
    or
     
    3) An alternate
    alternative means of control demonstrated (with Part B of the
    permit application) to provide fugitive emissions control equivalent to
    maintenance of combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric
    pressure.
     
    e) An incinerator must be operated with a functioning system to automatically cut
    off waste feed to the incinerator when operating conditions deviate from limits
    established under paragraph subsection (a) of this Section.
     
    f) An incinerator must cease operation when changes in waste feed, incinerator
    design, or operating conditions exceed limits designated in its permit.
     
    (Source: Amended at 27 Ill. Reg. ________, effective ____________________)
     
    Section 724.447 Monitoring and Inspections
     
    a) The owner or operator must conduct, as a minimum, the following monitoring
    while incinerating hazardous waste:
     
    1) Combustion temperature, waste feed rate, and the indicator of combustion
    gas velocity specified in the facility permit must be monitored on a
    continuous basis.
     
    2) Carbon monoxide must be monitored on a continuous basis at a point in
    the incinerator downstream of the combustion zone and prior to release to
    the atmosphere.
     
    3) Upon request by the Agency, sampling and analysis of the waste and
    exhaust emissions must be conducted to verify that the operating
    requirements established in the permit achieved the performance standard
    of Section 724.443.
     
    b) The incinerator and associated equipment (pumps, valves, conveyors, pipes, etc.)
    must be subjected to thorough visual inspection, at least daily, for leaks, spills,
    fugitive emissions and signs of tampering.
     
    c) The emergency waste feed cutoff system and associated alarms must be tested at
    least weekly to verify operability, unless the applicant demonstrates to the
    Agency that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset operations and that
    less frequent inspection will be adequate. At a minimum, operational testing must
    be conducted at least monthly.

     
     
    433
     
    d) This monitoring and inspection data must be recorded and the records must be
    placed in the operating log required by Section 724.173.

    Section 724.451 Closure
     
    At closure the owner or operator must remove all hazardous waste and hazardous waste residues
    (including, but not limited to, ash, scrubber waters, and scrubber sludges) from the incinerator
    site.
     
    (Board Note: BOARD NOTE: At closure, as throughout the operating period, unless the owner
    or operator can demonstrate, in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.103(d), that the residue
    removed from the incinerator is not a hazardous waste, the owner or operator becomes a
    generator of hazardous waste and must manage it in accordance with applicable requirements of
    this Subchapter.)

    SUBPART S: SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR CLEANUP
     
    Section 724.651 Grandfathered Corrective Action Management Units
     
    a) To implement remedies under Section 724.201 or RCRA section 3008(h), or to
    implement remedies at a permitted facility that is not subject to Section 724.201, the
    Agency may designate an area at the facility as a corrective action management
    unit in accordance with the requirements of this Section. “Corrective action
    management unit” or “CAMU” means an area within a facility that is used only
    for managing remediation wastes for implementing corrective action or cleanup at
    that facility. A CAMU must be located within the contiguous property under the
    control of the owner or operator where the wastes to be managed in the CAMU
    originated. One or more CAMUs may be designated at a facility.
     
    1) Placement of remediation wastes into or within a CAMU does not
    constitute land disposal of hazardous wastes.
     
    2) Consolidation or placement of remediation wastes into or within a CAMU
    does not constitute creation of a unit subject to minimum technology
    requirements.
     
    b) Designation of a CAMU.
     

     
     
    434
    1) The Agency may designate a regulated unit (as defined in Section
    724.190(a)(2)) as a CAMU, or it may incorporate a regulated unit into a
    CAMU, if the following is true:
     
    A) The regulated unit is closed or closing, meaning it has begun the
    closure process under Section 724.213 or 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725.213; and
     
    B) Inclusion of the regulated unit will enhance implementation of
    effective, protective, and reliable remedial actions for the facility.
     
    2) The requirements of Subparts F, G, and H of this Part and the unit-specific
    requirements of this Part or the 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 requirements that
    applied to that regulated unit will continue to apply to that portion of the
    CAMU after incorporation into the CAMU.
     
    c) The Agency must designate a CAMU in accordance with the following factors:
     
    1) The CAMU must facilitate the implementation of reliable, effective,
    protective, and cost-effective remedies;
     
    2) Waste management activities associated with the CAMU must not create
    unacceptable risks to humans or to the environment resulting from
    exposure to hazardous wastes or hazardous constituents;
     
    3) The CAMU must include uncontaminated areas of the facility only if
    including such areas for the purpose of managing remediation waste is
    more protective than managing such wastes at contaminated areas of the
    facility;
     
    4) Areas within the CAMU where wastes remain in place after its closure
    must be managed and contained so as to minimize future releases to the
    extent practicable;
     
    5) The CAMU must expedite the timing of remedial activity implementation,
    when appropriate and practicable;
     
    6) The CAMU must enable the use, when appropriate, of treatment
    technologies (including innovative technologies) to enhance the long-term
    effectiveness of remedial actions by reducing the toxicity, mobility, or
    volume of wastes that will remain in place after closure of the CAMU; and
     

     
     
    435
    7) The CAMU must, to the extent practicable, minimize the land area of the
    facility upon which wastes will remain in place after closure of the
    CAMU.
     
    d) The owner or operator must provide sufficient information to enable the Agency
    to designate a CAMU in accordance with the standards of this Section.
     
    e) The Agency must specify in the permit the requirements applicable to a CAMU,
    including the following:
     
    1) The areal configuration of the CAMU.
     
    2) Requirements for remediation waste management, including the
    specification of applicable design, operation, and closure requirements.
     
    3) Requirements for groundwater monitoring that are sufficient to do the
    following:
     
    A) Continue to detect and to characterize the nature, extent,
    concentration, direction, and movement of existing releases of
    hazardous constituents in groundwater from sources located within
    the CAMU; and
     
    B) Detect and subsequently characterize releases of hazardous
    constituents to groundwater that may occur from areas of the
    CAMU in which wastes will remain in place after closure of the
    CAMU.
     
    4) Closure and post-closure care requirements.
     
    A) Closure of a CAMU must do the following:
     
    i) Minimize the need for further maintenance; and
     
    ii) Control, minimize, or eliminate, to the extent necessary to
    protect human health and the environment, for areas where
    wastes remain in place, post-closure escape of hazardous
    waste, hazardous constituents, leachate, contaminated
    runoff, or hazardous waste decomposition products to the
    ground, to surface waters, or to the atmosphere.
     
    B) Requirements for closure of a CAMU must include the following,
    as appropriate:
     

     
     
    436
    i) Requirements for excavation, removal, treatment, or
    containment of wastes;
     
    ii) For areas in which wastes will remain after closure of the
    CAMU, requirements for the capping of such areas; and
     
    iii) Requirements for the removal and decontamination of
    equipment, devices, and structures used in remediation
    waste management activities within the CAMU.
     
    C) In establishing specific closure requirements for a CAMU under
    this subsection (e), the Agency must consider the following
    factors:
     
    i) The characteristics of the CAMU;
     
    ii) The volume of wastes that remain in place after closure;
     
    iii) The potential for releases from the CAMU;
     
    iv) The physical and chemical characteristics of the waste;
     
    v) The hydrological and other relevant environmental
    conditions at the facility that may influence the migration
    of any potential or actual releases; and
     
    vi) The potential for exposure of humans and environmental
    receptors if releases were to occur from the CAMU.
     
    D) Post-closure care requirements as necessary to protect human
    health and the environment, including, for areas where wastes will
    remain in place, monitoring and maintenance activities and the
    frequency with which such activities must be performed to ensure
    the integrity of any cap, final cover, or other containment system.
     
    f) The Agency must document the rationale for designating the CAMU and must
    make such documentation available to the public.
     
    g) Incorporation of a CAMU into an existing permit must be approved by the
    Agency according to the procedures for Agency-initiated permit modifications
    under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.270 through 703.273 or according to the permit
    modification procedures of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.283.
     

     
     
    437
    h) The designation of a CAMU does not change the Agency’s existing authority to
    address cleanup levels, media-specific points of compliance to be applied to
    remediation at a facility, or other remedy selection decisions.

    Section 724.652 Corrective Action Management Units
     
    a) To implement remedies under Section 724.201 or RCRA section 3008(h), or to
    implement remedies at a permitted facility that is not subject to Section 724.201,
    the Agency may designate an area at the facility as a corrective action
    management unit under the requirements in this Section. “Corrective action
    management unit” or “CAMU” means an area within a facility that is used only
    for managing CAMU-eligible wastes for implementing corrective action or
    cleanup at that facility. A CAMU must be located within the contiguous property
    under the control of the owner or operator where the wastes to be managed in the
    CAMU originated. One or more CAMUs may be designated at a facility.
     
    1) “CAMU-eligible waste” means the following:
     
    A) All solid and hazardous wastes, and all media (including
    groundwater, surface water, soils, and sediments) and debris, that
    are managed for implementing cleanup. As-generated wastes
    (either hazardous or non-hazardous) from ongoing industrial
    operations at a site are not CAMU-eligible wastes.
     
    B) Wastes that would otherwise meet the description in subsection
    (a)(1)(A) of this Section are not CAMU-eligible waste where the
    following is true:
     
    i) The wastes are hazardous waste found during cleanup in
    intact or substantially intact containers, tanks, or other non-
    land-based units found above ground, unless the wastes are
    first placed in the tanks, containers, or non-land-based units
    as part of cleanup, or the containers or tanks are excavated
    during the course of cleanup; or
     
    ii) The Agency makes the determination in subsection (a)(2)
    of this Section to prohibit the wastes from management in a
    CAMU.
     
    C) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(1)(A) of this Section, where
    appropriate, as-generated non-hazardous waste may be placed in a

     
     
    438
    CAMU where such waste is being used to facilitate treatment or
    the performance of the CAMU.
     
    2) The Agency must prohibit the placement of waste in a CAMU where the
    Agency determines that the wastes have not been managed in compliance
    with applicable land disposal treatment standards of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    728, applicable unit design requirements of this Part or 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725, or other applicable requirements of this Subtitle G, and that the non-
    compliance likely contributed to the release of the waste.
     
    3) Prohibition against placing liquids in a CAMU.
     
    A) The placement of bulk or noncontainerized liquid hazardous waste
    or free liquids contained in hazardous waste (whether or not
    sorbents have been added) in any CAMU is prohibited except
    where placement of such wastes facilitates the remedy selected for
    the waste.
     
    B) The requirements in Section 724.414(d) for placement of
    containers holding free liquids in landfills apply to placement in a
    CAMU, except where placement facilitates the remedy selected for
    the waste.
     
    C) The placement of any liquid which that is not a hazardous waste in
    a CAMU is prohibited unless such placement facilitates the
    remedy selected for the waste or a demonstration is made pursuant
    to Section 724.414(f).
     
    D) The absence or presence of free liquids in either a containerized or
    a bulk waste must be determined in accordance with Section
    724.414(c). Sorbents used to treat free liquids in a CAMU must
    meet the requirements of Section 724.414(e).
     
    4) Placement of CAMU-eligible wastes into or within a CAMU does not
    constitute land disposal of hazardous waste.
     
    5) Consolidation or placement of CAMU-eligible wastes into or within a
    CAMU does not constitute creation of a unit subject to minimum
    technology requirements.
     
    b) Establishing a CAMU.
     

     
     
    439
    1) The Agency must designate a regulated unit (as defined in Section
    724.190(a)(2)) as a CAMU or must incorporate a regulated unit into a
    CAMU, if it determines that the following is true of a regulated unit:
     
    A) The regulated unit is closed or closing, meaning it has begun the
    closure process under Section 724.213 or 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725.213; and
     
    B) Inclusion of the regulated unit will enhance implementation of
    effective, protective, and reliable remedial actions for the facility.
     
    2) The Subpart F, G, and H requirements and the unit-specific requirements
    of this Part or 35 Ill. Adm. Code 265 that applied to the regulated unit will
    continue to apply to that portion of the CAMU after incorporation into the
    CAMU.
     
    c) The Agency must designate a CAMU that will be used for storage or treatment
    only in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section. The Agency must
    designate any other CAMU in accordance with the following requirements:
     
    1) The CAMU must facilitate the implementation of reliable, effective,
    protective, and cost-effective remedies;
     
    2) Waste management activities associated with the CAMU must not create
    unacceptable risks to humans or to the environment resulting from
    exposure to hazardous wastes or hazardous constituents;
     
    3) The CAMU must include uncontaminated areas of the facility, only if
    including such areas for the purpose of managing CAMU-eligible waste is
    more protective than management of such wastes at contaminated areas of
    the facility;
     
    4) Areas within the CAMU, where wastes remain in place after closure of the
    CAMU, must be managed and contained so as to minimize future releases,
    to the extent practicable;
     
    5) The CAMU must expedite the timing of remedial activity implementation,
    when appropriate and practicable;
     
    6) The CAMU must enable the use, when appropriate, of treatment
    technologies (including innovative technologies) to enhance the long-term
    effectiveness of remedial actions by reducing the toxicity, mobility, or
    volume of wastes that will remain in place after closure of the CAMU; and
     

     
     
    440
    7) The CAMU must, to the extent practicable, minimize the land area of the
    facility upon which wastes will remain in place after closure of the
    CAMU.
     
    d) The owner or operator must provide sufficient information to enable the Agency
    to designate a CAMU in accordance with the criteria in this Section. This must
    include, unless not reasonably available, information on the following:
     
    1) The origin of the waste and how it was subsequently managed (including a
    description of the timing and circumstances surrounding the disposal or
    release);
     
    2) Whether the waste was listed or identified as hazardous at the time of
    disposal or release; and
     
    3) Whether the disposal or release of the waste occurred before or after the
    land disposal requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728 were in effect for the
    waste listing or characteristic.
     
    e) The Agency must specify, in the permit or order, requirements for the CAMU to
    include the following:
     
    1) The areal configuration of the CAMU.
     
    2) Except as provided in subsection (g) of this Section, requirements for
    CAMU-eligible waste management to include the specification of
    applicable design, operation, treatment, and closure requirements.
     
    3) Minimum Design Requirements: a CAMU, except as provided in
    subsection (f) of this Section, into which wastes are placed must be
    designed in accordance with the following:
     
    A) Unless the Agency approves alternative requirements under
    subsection (e)(3)(B) of this Section, a CAMU that consists of new,
    replacement, or laterally expanded units must include a composite
    liner and a leachate collection system that is designed and
    constructed to maintain less than a 30-cm depth of leachate over
    the liner. For purposes of this Section, “composite liner”
     
    means a
    system consisting of two components; the upper component must
    consist of a minimum 30-mil flexible membrane liner (FML), and
    the lower component must consist of at least a two-foot layer of
    compacted soil with a hydraulic conductivity of no more than
    1x10
    -7
    cm/sec. FML components consisting of high density
    polyethylene (HDPE) must be at least 60 mil thick. The FML

     
     
    441
    component must be installed in direct and uniform contact with the
    compacted soil component;
     
    B) Alternative Requirements. The Agency must approve alternate
    alternative requirements if it determines that either of the
    following is true:
     
    i) The Agency determines that alternative design and
    operating practices, together with location characteristics,
    will prevent the migration of any hazardous constituents
    into the groundwater or surface water at least as effectively
    as the liner and leachate collection systems in subsection
    (e)(3)(A) of this Section; or
     
    ii) The CAMU is to be established in an area with existing
    significant levels of contamination, and the Agency
    determines that an alternative design, including a design
    that does not include a liner, would prevent migration from
    the unit that would exceed long-term remedial goals.
     
    4) Minimum treatment requirements: Unless the wastes will be placed in a
    CAMU for storage or treatment only in accordance with subsection (f) of
    this Section, CAMU-eligible wastes that, absent this Section, would be
    subject to the treatment requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728, and that
    the Agency determines contain principal hazardous constituents must be
    treated to the standards specified in subsection (e)(4)(C) of this Section.
     
    A) Principal hazardous constituents are those constituents that the
    Agency determines pose a risk to human health and the
    environment substantially higher than the cleanup levels or goals
    at the site.
     
    i) In general, the Agency must designate as principal
    hazardous constituents those contaminants specified in
    subsection (e)(4)(H) of this Section.
     
    BOARD NOTE: The Board has codified 40 CFR
    264.552(e)(4)(i)(A)(
    1
    ) and (e)(4)(i)(A)(
    2
    ) as subsections
    (e)(4)(H)(i) and (e)(4)(H)(ii) of this Section in order to
    comply with Illinois Administrative Code codification
    requirements.
     
    ii) The Agency must also designate constituents as principal
    hazardous constituents, where appropriate, when risks to

     
     
    442
    human health and the environment posed by the potential
    migration of constituents in wastes to groundwater are
    substantially higher than cleanup levels or goals at the site;
    when making such a designation, the Agency must consider
    such factors as constituent concentrations, and fate and
    transport characteristics under site conditions.
     
    iii) The Agency must also designate other constituents as
    principal hazardous constituents that the Agency
    determines pose a risk to human health and the
    environment substantially higher than the cleanup levels or
    goals at the site.
     
    B) In determining which constituents are “principal hazardous
    constituents,” the Agency must consider all constituents which
    that, absent this Section, would be subject to the treatment
    requirements in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.
     
    C) Waste that the Agency determines contains principal hazardous
    constituents must meet treatment standards determined in
    accordance with subsection (e)(4)(D) or (e)(4)(E) of this Section:.
     
    D) Treatment standards for wastes placed in a CAMU.
     
    i) For non-metals, treatment must achieve 90 percent
    reduction in total principal hazardous constituent
    concentrations, except as provided by subsection
    (e)(4)(D)(iii) of this Section.
     
    ii) For metals, treatment must achieve 90 percent reduction in
    principal hazardous constituent concentrations as measured
    in leachate from the treated waste or media (tested
    according to the TCLP) or 90 percent reduction in total
    constituent concentrations (when a metal removal treatment
    technology is used), except as provided by subsection
    (e)(4)(D)(iii) of this Section.
     
    iii) When treatment of any principal hazardous constituent to a
    90 percent reduction standard would result in a
    concentration less than 10 times the Universal Treatment
    Standard for that constituent, treatment to achieve
    constituent concentrations less than 10 times the Universal
    Treatment Standard is not required. Universal Treatment

     
     
    443
    Standards are identified in Table U to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    728.Table U.
     
    iv) For waste exhibiting the hazardous characteristic of
    ignitability, corrosivity, or reactivity, the waste must also
    be treated to eliminate these characteristics.
     
    v) For debris, the debris must be treated in accordance with §
    268.45, or by methods or to levels established under
    subsections (e)(4)(D)(i) through (e)(4)(D)(iv) or subsection
    (e)(4)(E) of this Section, whichever the Agency determines
    is appropriate.
     
    vi) Alternatives to TCLP. For metal bearing wastes for which
    metals removal treatment is not used, the Agency must
    specify a leaching test other than the TCLP (SW846, SW-
    846, Method 1311, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 720.111) to measure treatment effectiveness,
    provided the Agency determines that an alternative leach
    testing protocol is appropriate for use, and that the
    alternative more accurately reflects conditions at the site
    that affect leaching.
     
    E) Adjusted standards. The Board will grant an adjusted standard
    pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Act to adjust the treatment level or
    method in subsection (e)(4)(D) of this Section to a higher or lower
    level, based on one or more of the following factors, as
    appropriate, if the owner or operator demonstrates that the adjusted
    level or method would be protective of human health and the
    environment, based on consideration of the following:
     
    i) The technical impracticability of treatment to the levels or
    by the methods in subsection (e)(4)(D) of this Section;
     
    ii) The levels or methods in subsection (e)(4)(D) of this
    Section would result in concentrations of principal
    hazardous constituents (PHCs) that are significantly above
    or below cleanup standards applicable to the site
    (established either site-specifically, or promulgated under
    State or federal law);
     
    iii) The views of the affected local community on the treatment
    levels or methods in subsection (e)(4)(D) of this Section, as

     
     
    444
    applied at the site, and, for treatment levels, the treatment
    methods necessary to achieve these levels;
     
    iv) The short-term risks presented by the on-site treatment
    method necessary to achieve the levels or treatment
    methods in subsection (e)(4)(D) of this Section;
     
    v) The long-term protection offered by the engineering design
    of the CAMU and related engineering controls under the
    circumstances set forth in subsection (e)(4)(I) of this
    Section.
     
    BOARD NOTE: The Board has codified 40 CFR
    264.552(e)(4)(v)(E)(
    1
    ) through (e)(4)(v)(E)(
    5
    ) as
    subsections (e)(4)(I)(i) through (e)(4)(I)(v) of this Section
    in order to comply with Illinois Administrative Code
    codification requirements.
     
    F) The treatment required by the treatment standards must be
    completed prior to, or within a reasonable time after, placement in
    the CAMU.
     
    G) For the purpose of determining whether wastes placed in a CAMU
    have met site-specific treatment standards, the Agency must
    specify a subset of the principal hazardous constituents in the
    waste as analytical surrogates for determining whether treatment
    standards have been met for other principal hazardous constituents
    if it determines that the specification is appropriate based on the
    degree of difficulty of treatment and analysis of constituents with
    similar treatment properties.
     
    H) Principal hazardous constituents that the Agency must designate
    are the following:
     
    i) Carcinogens that pose a potential direct risk from ingestion
    or inhalation at the site at or above 10
    -3
    ; and
     
    ii) Non-carcinogens that pose a potential direct risk from
    ingestion or inhalation at the site an order of magnitude or
    greater over their reference dose.
     
    I) Circumstances relating to the long-term protection offered by
    engineering design of the CAMU and related engineering controls
    are the following:

     
     
    445
     
    i) Where the treatment standards in subsection (e)(4)(D) of
    this Section are substantially met and the principal
    hazardous constituents in the waste or residuals are of very
    low mobility;
     
    ii) Where cost-effective treatment has been used and the
    CAMU meets the Subtitle C liner and leachate collection
    requirements for new land disposal units at Section
    724.401(c) and (d);
     
    iii) Where, after review of appropriate treatment technologies,
    the Board determines that cost-effective treatment is not
    reasonably available, and the CAMU meets the Subtitle C
    liner and leachate collection requirements for new land
    disposal units at Section 724.401(c) and (d);
     
    iv) Where cost-effective treatment has been used and the
    principal hazardous constituents in the treated wastes are of
    very low mobility; or
     
    v) Where, after review of appropriate treatment technologies,
    the Board determines that cost-effective treatment is not
    reasonably available, the principal hazardous constituents
    in the wastes are of very low mobility, and either the
    CAMU meets or exceeds the liner standards for new,
    replacement, or a laterally expanded CAMU in subsections
    (e)(3)(A) and (e)(3)(B) of this Section or the CAMU
    provides substantially equivalent or greater protection.
     
    5) Except as provided in subsection (f) of this Section, requirements for
    groundwater monitoring and corrective action that are sufficient to do the
    following:
     
    A) Continue to detect and to characterize the nature, extent,
    concentration, direction, and movement of existing releases of
    hazardous constituents in groundwater from sources located within
    the CAMU; and
     
    B) Detect and subsequently characterize releases of hazardous
    constituents to groundwater that may occur from areas of the
    CAMU in which wastes will remain in place after closure of the
    CAMU; and
     

     
     
    446
    C) Require notification to the Agency and corrective action as
    necessary to protect human health and the environment for releases
    to groundwater from the CAMU.
     
    6) Except as provided in subsection (f) of this Section, closure and post-
    closure requirements, as follows:
     
    A) Closure of corrective action management units must do the
    following:
     
    i) Minimize the need for further maintenance; and
     
    ii) Control, minimize, or eliminate, to the extent necessary to
    protect human health and the environment, for areas where
    wastes remain in place, post-closure escape of hazardous
    wastes, hazardous constituents, leachate, contaminated
    runoff, or hazardous waste decomposition products to the
    ground, to surface waters, or to the atmosphere.
     
    B) Requirements for closure of a CAMU must include the following,
    as appropriate and as deemed necessary by the Agency for a given
    CAMU:
     
    i) Requirements for excavation, removal, treatment or
    containment of wastes; and
     
    ii) Requirements for removal and decontamination of
    equipment, devices, and structures used in CAMU-eligible
    waste management activities within the CAMU.
     
    C) In establishing specific closure requirements for a CAMU under
    this subsection (e), the Agency must consider the following
    factors:
     
    i) CAMU characteristics;
     
    ii) Volume of wastes which that remain in place after closure;
     
    iii) Potential for releases from the CAMU;
     
    iv) Physical and chemical characteristics of the waste;
     

     
     
    447
    v) Hydrological and other relevant environmental conditions
    at the facility which that may influence the migration of
    any potential or actual releases; and
     
    vi) Potential for exposure of humans and environmental
    receptors if releases were to occur from the CAMU.
     
    D) Cap requirements:
     
    i) At final closure of the CAMU, for areas in which wastes
    will remain with constituent concentrations at or above
    remedial levels or goals applicable to the site after closure
    of the CAMU, the owner or operator must cover the
    CAMU with a final cover designed and constructed to meet
    the performance criteria listed in subsection (e)(6)(F) of
    this Section, except as provided in subsection (e)(6)(D)(ii)
    of this Section:
     
    BOARD NOTE: The Board has codified 40 CFR
    264.552(e)(6)(iv)(A)(
    1
    ) through (e)(6)(iv)(A)(
    5
    ) as
    subsections (e)(6)(F)(i) through (e)(6)(F)(v) of this Section
    in order to comply with Illinois Administrative Code
    codification requirements.
     
    ii) The Agency must apply cap requirements that deviate from
    those prescribed in subsection (e)(6)(D)(i) of this Section if
    it determines that the modifications are needed to facilitate
    treatment or the performance of the CAMU (e.g., to
    promote biodegradation).
     
    E) Post-closure requirements as necessary to protect human health
    and the environment, to include, for areas where wastes will
    remain in place, monitoring and maintenance activities, and the
    frequency with which such activities must be performed to ensure
    the integrity of any cap, final cover, or other containment system.
     
    F) The final cover design and performance criteria are as follows:
     
    i) Provide long-term minimization of migration of liquids
    through the closed unit;
     
    ii) Function with minimum maintenance;
     

     
     
    448
    iii) Promote drainage and minimize erosion or abrasion of the
    cover;
     
    iv) Accommodate settling and subsidence so that the cover’s
    integrity is maintained; and
     
    v) Have a permeability less than or equal to the permeability
    of any bottom liner system or natural subsoils present.
     
    f) A CAMU used for storage or treatment only is a CAMU in which wastes will not
    remain after closure. Such a CAMU must be designated in accordance with all of
    the requirements of this Section, except as follows:
     
    1) A CAMU that is used for storage or treatment only and that operates in
    accordance with the time limits established in the staging pile regulations
    at Section 724.654(d)(1)(C), (h), and (i) is subject to the requirements for
    staging piles at Section 724.654(d)(1)(A) and (d)(1)(B), (d)(2), (e), (f), (j),
    and (k), in lieu of the performance standards and requirements for a
    CAMU in subsections (c) and (e)(3) through (e)(6) of this Section.
     
    2) A CAMU that is used for storage or treatment only and that does not
    operate in accordance with the time limits established in the staging pile
    regulations at Section 724.654(d)(1)(C), (h), and (i):
     
    A) The owner or operator must operate in accordance with a time
    limit, established by the Agency, that is no longer than necessary
    to achieve a timely remedy selected for the waste and
     
    B) The CAMU is subject to the requirements for staging piles at
    Section 724.654(d)(1)(A) and (d)(1)(B), (d)(2), (e), (f), (j), and (k)
    in lieu of the performance standards and requirements for a CAMU
    in subsections (c), and (e)(4), and (6) of this Section.
     
    g) A CAMU into which wastes are placed where all wastes have constituent levels at
    or below remedial levels or goals applicable to the site do not have to comply
    with the requirements for liners at subsection (e)(3)(A) of this Section, caps at
    subsection (e)(6)(D) of this Section, groundwater monitoring requirements at
    subsection (e)(5) of this Section or, for treatment or storage-only a CAMU, the
    design standards at subsection (f) of this Section.
     
    h) The Agency must provide public notice and a reasonable opportunity for public
    comment before designating a CAMU. Such notice must include the rationale for
    any proposed adjustments under subsection (e)(4)(E) of this Section to the
    treatment standards in subsection (e)(4)(D) of this Section.

     
     
    449
     
    i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Agency must impose
    those additional requirements that it determines are necessary to protect human
    health and the environment.
     
    j) Incorporation of a CAMU into an existing permit must be approved by the
    Agency according to the procedures for Agency-initiated permit modifications
    under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.270 through 703.273, or according to the permit
    modification procedures of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.280 through 703.283.
     
    k) The designation of a CAMU does not change the Agency’s existing authority to
    address cleanup levels, media-specific points of compliance to be applied to
    remediation at a facility, or other remedy selection decisions.

    Section 724.653 Temporary Units
     
    a) For temporary tanks and container storage areas used to treat or store hazardous
    remediation wastes during remedial activities required under Section 724.201 or
    RCRA section 3008(h), or at a permitted facility that is not subject to Section
    724.201, the Agency may designate a unit at the facility as a temporary unit. A
    temporary unit must be located within the contiguous property under the control of
    the owner or operator where the wastes to be managed in the temporary unit
    originated. For temporary units, the Agency may replace the design, operating, or
    closure standards applicable to these units under this Part 724 or 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725 with alternative requirements that protect human health and the environment.
     
    b) Any temporary unit to which alternative requirements are applied in accordance
    with subsection (a) of this Section shall must be as follows:
     
    1) Located within the facility boundary; and
     
    2) Used only for treatment or storage of remediation wastes.
     
    c) In establishing alternative requirements to be applied to a temporary unit, the
    Agency shall must consider the following factors:
     
    1) The length of time such unit will be in operation;
     
    2) The type of unit;
     
    3) The volumes of wastes to be managed;
     

     
     
    450
    4) The physical and chemical characteristics of the wastes to be managed in
    the unit;
     
    5) The potential for releases from the unit;
     
    6) The hydrogeological and other relevant environmental conditions at the
    facility that may influence the migration of any potential releases; and
     
    7) The potential for exposure of humans and environmental receptors if
    releases were to occur from the unit.
     
    d) The Agency shall must specify in the permit the length of time a temporary unit
    will be allowed to operate, which shall must be no longer than one year. The
    Agency shall must also specify the design, operating, and closure requirements
    for the unit.
     
    e) The Agency may extend the operational period of a temporary unit once, for no
    longer than a period of one year beyond that originally specified in the permit, if
    the Agency determines that the following:
     
    1) Continued
    That continued operation of the unit will not pose a threat to
    human health and the environment; and
     
    2) Continued
    That continued operation of the unit is necessary to ensure
    timely and efficient implementation of remedial actions at the facility.
     
    f) Incorporation of a temporary unit or a time extension for a temporary unit into an
    existing permit shall must be as follows:
     
    1) Approved in accordance with the procedures for Agency-initiated permit
    modifications under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.270 through 703.273; or
     
    2) Requested by the owner/operator owner or operator as a Class 2
    modification according to the procedures under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    703.283.
     
    g) The Agency shall must document the rationale for designating a temporary unit
    and for granting time extensions for temporary units and shall must make such
    documentation available to the public.
     
    BOARD NOTE: USEPA promulgated this provision pursuant to HSWA provisions of RCRA
    Subtitle C. Since the federal provision became immediately effective in Illinois, and until
    USEPA authorizes this Illinois provision, an owner or operator must seek TU authorization from
    USEPA Region V, as well as authorization from the Agency under this provision.

    Section 724.654 Staging Piles
     
    a) Definition of a staging pile. A staging pile is an accumulation of solid, non-flowing
    remediation waste (as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110) that is not a
    containment building and which is used only during remedial operations for
    temporary storage at a facility. A staging pile must be located within the contiguous
    property under the control of the owner or operator where the wastes to be managed
    in the staging pile originated. Staging piles must be designated by the Agency in
    accordance with the requirements in this Section.
     
    1) For the purposes of this Section, storage includes mixing, sizing, blending,
    or other similar physical operations as long as they are intended to prepare
    the wastes for subsequent management or treatment.
     
    2) This subsection (a)(2) corresponds with 40 CFR 264.554(a)(2), which
    USEPA has marked as “reserved.” This statement maintains structural
    consistency with the federal regulations.
     
    b) Use of a staging pile. An owner or operator may use a staging pile to store
    hazardous remediation waste (or remediation waste otherwise subject to land
    disposal restrictions) only if an owner or operator follows the standards and design
    criteria the Agency has designated for that staging pile. The Agency must designate
    the staging pile in a permit or, at an interim status facility, in a closure plan or order
    (consistent with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.155(a)(5) and (b)(5)). The Agency must
    establish conditions in the permit, closure plan, or order that comply with
    subsections (d) through (k) of this Section.
     
    c) Information that an owner or operator must submit to gain designation of a staging
    pile. When seeking a staging pile designation, an owner or operator must provide
    the following:
     
    1) Sufficient and accurate information to enable the Agency to impose
    standards and design criteria for the facility’s staging pile according to
    subsections (d) through (k) of this Section;
     
    2) Certification by an independent, qualified, registered professional engineer
    of technical data, such as design drawings and specifications, and
    engineering studies, unless the Agency determines, based on information
    that an owner or operator provides, that this certification is not necessary to
    ensure that a staging pile will protect human health and the environment;
    and

     
     
    452
     
    3) Any additional information the Agency determines is necessary to protect
    human health and the environment.
     
    d) Performance criteria that a staging pile must satisfy. The Agency must establish the
    standards and design criteria for the staging pile in the permit, closure plan, or
    order.
     
    1) The standards and design criteria must comply with the following:
     
    A) The staging pile must facilitate a reliable, effective, and protective
    remedy;
     
    B) The staging pile must be designed so as to prevent or minimize
    releases of hazardous wastes and hazardous constituents into the
    environment, and minimize or adequately control cross-media
    transfer, as necessary to protect human health and the environment
    (for example, through the use of liners, covers, or runoff and runon
    controls, as appropriate); and
     
    C) The staging pile must not operate for more than two years, except
    when the Agency grants an operating term extension under
    subsection (i) of this Section. An owner or operator must measure
    the two-year limit or other operating term specified by the Agency in
    the permit, closure plan, or order from the first time an owner or
    operator places remediation waste into a staging pile. An owner or
    operator must maintain a record of the date when it first placed
    remediation waste into the staging pile for the life of the permit,
    closure plan, or order, or for three years, whichever is longer.
     
    2) In setting the standards and design criteria, the Agency must consider the
    following factors:
     
    A) The length of time the pile will be in operation;
     
    B) The volumes of wastes the owner or operator intends to store in the
    pile;
     
    C) The physical and chemical characteristics of the wastes to be stored
    in the unit;
     
    D) The potential for releases from the unit;
     

     
     
    453
    E) The hydrogeological and other relevant environmental conditions at
    the facility that may influence the migration of any potential
    releases; and
     
    F) The potential for human and environmental exposure to potential
    releases from the unit.
     
    e) Receipt of ignitable or reactive remediation waste. An owner or operator must not
    place ignitable or reactive remediation waste in a staging pile unless the following
    is true:
     
    1) The owner or operator has treated, rendered, or mixed the remediation waste
    before it placed the waste in the staging pile so that the following is true of
    the waste:
     
    A) The remediation waste no longer meets the definition of ignitable or
    reactive under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.121 or 721.123; and
     
    B) The owner or operator has complied with Section 724.117(b); or
     
    2) An
    The owner or operator manages the remediation waste to protect it from
    exposure to any material or condition that may cause it to ignite or react.
     
    f) Managing incompatible remediation wastes in a staging pile. The term
    “incompatible waste” is defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110. An owner or
    operator must comply with the following requirements for incompatible wastes in
    staging piles:
     
    1) An
    The owner or operator must not place incompatible remediation wastes
    in the same staging pile unless an owner or operator has complied with
    Section 724.117(b);
     
    2) If remediation waste in a staging pile is incompatible with any waste or
    material stored nearby in containers, other piles, open tanks, or land disposal
    units (for example, surface impoundments), an owner or operator must
    separate the incompatible materials, or protect them from one another by
    using a dike, berm, wall, or other device; and
     
    3) An
    The owner or operator must not pile remediation waste on the same base
    where incompatible wastes or materials were previously piled, unless the
    base has been decontaminated sufficiently to comply with Section
    724.117(b).
     

     
     
    454
    g) Staging piles are not subject to land disposal restrictions and federal minimum
    technological requirements. Placing hazardous remediation wastes into a staging
    pile does not constitute land disposal of hazardous wastes or create a unit that is
    subject to the federal minimum technological requirements of section 3004(o) of
    RCRA 3004(o), 42 USC 6924(o).
     
    h) How long an owner or operator may operate a staging pile. The Agency may allow
    a staging pile to operate for up to two years after hazardous remediation waste is
    first placed into the pile. An owner or operator must use a staging pile no longer
    than the length of time designated by the Agency in the permit, closure plan, or
    order (the “operating term”), except as provided in subsection (i) of this Section.
     
    i) Receiving an operating extension for a staging pile.
     
    1) The Agency may grant one operating term extension of up to 180 days
    beyond the operating term limit contained in the permit, closure plan, or
    order (see subsection (l) of this Section for modification procedures). To
    justify the need for an extension, an owner or operator must provide
    sufficient and accurate information to enable the Agency to determine that
    the following is true of continued operation of the staging pile:
     
    A) Continued operation will not pose a threat to human health and the
    environment; and
     
    B) Continued operation is necessary to ensure timely and efficient
    implementation of remedial actions at the facility.
     
    2) The Agency must, as a condition of the extension, specify further standards
    and design criteria in the permit, closure plan, or order, as necessary, to
    ensure protection of human health and the environment.
     
    j) The closure requirement for a staging pile located in a previously contaminated
    area.
     
    1) Within 180 days after the operating term of the staging pile expires, an
    owner or operator must close a staging pile located in a previously
    contaminated area of the site by removing or decontaminating all of the
    following:
     
    A) Remediation waste;
     
    B) Contaminated containment system components; and
     
    C) Structures and equipment contaminated with waste and leachate.

     
     
    455
     
    2) An owner or operator must also decontaminate contaminated subsoils in a
    manner and according to a schedule that the Agency determines will protect
    human health and the environment.
     
    3) The Agency must include the above requirements in the permit, closure
    plan, or order in which the staging pile is designated.
     
    k) The closure requirement for a staging pile located in a previously uncontaminated
    area.
     
    1) Within 180 days after the operating term of the staging pile expires, an
    owner or operator must close a staging pile located in an uncontaminated
    area of the site according to Sections 724.358(a) and 724.211 or according
    to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.358(a) and 725.211.
     
    2) The Agency must include the above requirement in the permit, closure plan,
    or order in which the staging pile is designated.
     
    l) Modifying an existing permit (e.g., a RAP), closure plan, or order to allow the use
    of a staging pile.
     
    1) To modify a permit, other than a RAP, to incorporate a staging pile or
    staging pile operating term extension, either of the following must occur:
     
    A) The Agency must approve the modification under the procedures for
    Agency-initiated permit modifications in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.270
    through 703.273; or
     
    B) An owner or operator must request a Class 2 modification under 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 703.280 through 703.283.
     
    2) To modify a RAP to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term
    extension, an owner or operator must comply with the RAP modification
    requirements under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.304(a) and (b).
     
    3) To modify a closure plan to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile
    operating term extension, an owner or operator must follow the applicable
    requirements under Section 724.212(c) or 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.212(c).
     
    4) To modify an order to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating
    term extension, an owner or operator must follow the terms of the order and
    the applicable provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.155(a)(5) or (b)(5).
     

     
     
    456
    m) Public availability of information about a staging pile. The Agency must document
    the rationale for designating a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension
    and make this documentation available to the public.

    Section 724.655 Disposal of CAMU-Eligible Wastes in Permitted Hazardous Waste
    Landfills
     
    a) The Agency must approve placement of CAMU-eligible wastes in hazardous
    waste landfills not located at the site from which the waste originated, without the
    wastes meeting the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728, if it determines that
    the following conditions are met:
     
    1) The waste meets the definition of CAMU-eligible waste in Section
    724.652(a)(1) and (a)(2).
     
    2) The Agency identifies principal hazardous constitutes constituents in such
    waste, in accordance with Section 724.652(e)(4)(A) and (e)(4)(B), and
    requires that such principal hazardous constituents are treated to any of the
    following standards specified for CAMU-eligible wastes:
     
    A) The treatment standards under Section 724.652(e)(4)(D); or
     
    B) Treatment standards adjusted in accordance with Section
    724.652(e)(4)(E)(i), (e)(4)(E)(iii), (e)(4)(E)(iv), or (e)(4)(F)(i); or
     
    C) Treatment standards adjusted in accordance with Section
    724.652(e)(4)(I)(ii), where treatment has been used and that
    treatment significantly reduces the toxicity or mobility of the
    principal hazardous constituents in the waste, minimizing the
    short-term and long-term threat posed by the waste, including the
    threat at the remediation site.
     
    3) The landfill receiving the CAMU-eligible waste must have a RCRA
    hazardous waste permit, meet the requirements for new landfills in
    Subpart N of this Part, and be authorized to accept CAMU-eligible wastes;
    for the purposes of this requirement, “permit” does not include interim
    status.
     
    b) The person seeking approval shall must provide sufficient information to enable
    the Agency to approve placement of CAMU-eligible waste in accordance with
    subsection (a) of this Section. Information required by Section 724.652(d)(1)

     
     
    457
    through (d)(3) for CAMU applications must be provided, unless not reasonably
    available.
     
    c) The Agency must provide public notice and a reasonable opportunity for public
    comment before approving CAMU eligible waste for placement in an off-site
    permitted hazardous waste landfill, consistent with the requirements for CAMU
    approval at Section 724.652(h). The approval must be specific to a single
    remediation.
     
    d) Applicable hazardous waste management requirements in this Part, including
    recordkeeping requirements to demonstrate compliance with treatment standards
    approved under this Section, for CAMU-eligible waste must be incorporated into
    the receiving facility permit through permit issuance or a permit modification,
    providing notice and an opportunity for comment and a hearing. Notwithstanding
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.181(a), a landfill may not receive hazardous CAMU-
    eligible waste under this Section unless its permit specifically authorizes receipt
    of such waste.
     
    e) For each remediation, CAMU-eligible waste may not be placed in an off-site
    landfill authorized to receive CAMU-eligible waste in accordance with subsection
    (d) of this Section until the following additional conditions have been met:
     
    1) The landfill owner or operator notifies the Agency and persons on the
    facility mailing list, maintained in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    705.163(a), of his or her intent to receive CAMU-eligible waste in
    accordance with this Section; the notice must identify the source of the
    remediation waste, the principal hazardous constituents in the waste, and
    treatment requirements.
     
    2) Persons on the facility mailing list may provide comments, including
    objections to the receipt of the CAMU-eligible waste, to the Agency
    within 15 days after notification.
     
    3) The Agency must object to the placement of the CAMU-eligible waste in
    the landfill within 30 days of notification; the Agency must extend the
    review period an additional 30 days if it determines that the extension is
    necessary because of public concerns or insufficient information.
     
    4) CAMU-eligible wastes may not be placed in the landfill until the Agency
    has notified the facility owner or operator that it does not object to its
    placement.
     
    5) If the Agency objects to the placement or does not notify the facility
    owner or operator that it has chosen not to object, the facility may not

     
     
    458
    receive the waste, notwithstanding 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702.181(a), until the
    objection has been resolved, or the owner/operator obtains a permit
    modification in accordance with the procedures of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    703.280 through 703.283 specifically authorizing receipt of the waste.
     
    6) The Board will grant an adjusted standard under Section 28.1 of the Act
    that modifies, reduces, or eliminates the notification requirements of this
    subsection (e) as they apply to specific categories of CAMU-eligible
    waste, if the owner or operator demonstrates that this is possible based on
    miminal risk.
     
    f) Generators of CAMU-eligible wastes sent off-site to a hazardous waste
    landfill under this Section must comply with the requirements of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 728.107(a)(4). Off-site facilities treating CAMU-eligible
    wastes to comply with this Section must comply with the requirements of
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.107(b)(4), except that the certification must be with
    respect to the treatment requirements of subsection (a)(2) of this Section.
     
    g) For the purposes of this Section only, the “design of the CAMU” in Section
    724.652(e)(4)(E)(v) means design of the permitted Subtitle C landfill.

    system applies only to those drip pads that are were constructed after
    December 24, 1992 except for those constructed after December 24, 1992
    for which the owner or operator has had a design and has entered into
    binding financial or other agreements for construction prior to December
    24, 1992.
     
    b) The owner or operator of any drip pad that is inside or under a structure that
    provides protection from precipitation so that neither run-off nor run-on is
    generated is not subject to regulation under Section 724.672(e) or (f).
     
    c) The requirements of this subsection (c) are not applicable to the management of
    infrequent and incidental drippage in storage yards provided that the owner or
    operator maintains and complies with a written contingency plan that describes
    how the owner or operator will respond immediately to the discharge of
    infrequent and incidental drippage. At a minimum, the contingency plan must
    describe how the owner or operator will do the following:
     
    1) Clean up the drippage;
     
    2) Document the clean-up of the drippage;
     
    3) Retain documentation regarding the clean-up for three years; and

    Section 724.671 Assessment of existing drip pad integrity Existing Drip Pad Integrity
     
    a) For each existing drip pad, the owner or operator shall must evaluate the drip pad
    and determine that it meets all of the requirements of this Subpart W, except the
    requirements for liners and leak detection systems of Section 724.673(b). No
    later than June 6, 1991, the owner or operator shall must obtain and keep on file at
    the facility a written assessment of the drip pad, reviewed and certified by an
    independent, qualified registered professional engineer that attests to the results of
    the evaluation. The assessment must be reviewed, updated, and re-certified
    annually until all upgrades, repairs or modifications necessary to achieve
    compliance with all of the standards of Section 724.673 are complete. The
    evaluation must document the extent to which the drip pad meets each of the
    design and operating standards of Section 724.673, except the standards for liners
    and leak detection systems, specified in Section 724.673(b).
     

     
     
    460
    b) The owner or operator shall must develop a written plan for upgrading, repairing,
    and modifying the drip pad to meet the requirements of Section 724.673(b) and
    submit the plan to the Agency no later than 2 two years before the date that all
    repairs, upgrades and modifications will be complete. This written plan must
    describe all changes to be made to the drip pad in sufficient detail to document
    compliance with all the requirements of Section 724.673. The plan must be
    reviewed and certified by an independent qualified, registered professional
    engineer. All upgrades, repairs, and modifications must be completed in
    accordance with the following:

    Section 724.673 Design and operating requirements Operating Requirements
     
    a) Drip pads must fulfill the following:
     
    1) Not be constructed of earthen materials, wood, or asphalt, unless the
    asphalt is structurally supported;
     
    2) Be sloped to free-drain to the associated collection system treated wood
    drippage, rain, other waters, or solutions of drippage and water or other
    wastes;
     
    3) Have a curb or berm around the perimeter;
     
    4) In addition, the drip pad must fulfill the following:
     
    A) Have a hydraulic conductivity of less than or equal to 1 X 10
    -7
     
    centimeters per second (cm/sec), e.g., existing concrete drip pads
    must be sealed, coated, or covered with a surface material with a
    hydraulic conductivity of less than or equal to 1 X 10
    -7
    cm/sec
    such that the entire surface where drippage occurs or may run
    across is capable of containing such drippage and mixtures of
    drippage and precipitation, materials, or other wastes while being
    routed to an associated collection system. This surface material
    must be maintained free of cracks and gaps that could adversely
    affect its hydraulic conductivity, and the material must be
    chemically compatible with the preservatives that contact the drip
    pad. The requirements of this provision apply only to the existing
    drip pads and those drip pads for which the owner or operator

     
     
    462
    elects to comply with Section 724.672(a) instead of Section
    724.672(b).
     
    B) The owner or operator must obtain and keep on file at the facility a
    written assessment of the drip pad, reviewed and certified by an
    independent qualified registered professional engineer that attests
    to the results of the evaluation. The assessment must be reviewed,
    updated and recertified annually. The evaluation must document
    the extent to which the drip pad meets the design and operating
    standards of this Section, except for in subsection (b) below of this
    Section.
     
    5) Be of sufficient structural strength and thickness to prevent failure due to
    physical contact, climatic conditions, the stress of installation, and the
    stress of daily operations, e.g., variable and moving loads such as vehicle
    traffic, movement of wood, etc.
     
    BOARD NOTE: In judging the structural integrity requirement of this
    subsection (c), the Agency should generally consider applicable standards
    established by professional organizations generally recognized by the
    industry, including ACI 318 or ASTM C94, incorporated by reference in
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.
     
    b) If an owner or operator elects to comply with Section 724.672(b) instead of
    Section 724.672(a), the drip pad must have the following:
     
    1) A synthetic liner installed below the drip pad that is designed, constructed,
    and installed to prevent leakage from the drip pad into the adjacent
    subsurface soil or groundwater or surface water at any time during the
    active life (including the closure period) of the drip pad. The liner must
    be constructed of materials that will prevent waste from being absorbed
    into the liner and to prevent releases into the adjacent subsurface soil or
    groundwater or surface water during the active life of the facility. The
    liner must be fulfill the following:
     
    A) Constructed
    It must be constructed of materials that have
    appropriate chemical properties and sufficient strength and
    thickness to prevent failure due to pressure gradients (including

    efforts to effect removal or decontamination of contaminated components,
    subsoils, structures, and equipment, as required in subsection (a) of this Section,
    the owner or operator finds that not all contaminated subsoils can be practically
    removed or decontaminated, the operator shall must close the unit and perform
    post-closure care in accordance with closure and post closure post-closure care
    requirements that apply to landfills (Section 724.410). For permitted units, the
    requirement to have a permit continues throughout the post-closure period. In
    addition, for the purposes of closure, post closure post-closure, and financial
    responsibility, such a drip pad is then considered to be a landfill, and the owner or
    operator shall must meet all of the requirements for landfills specified in Subparts
    G and H of this Part.
     
    c) Existing drip pads without liners.

    days after the emission is detected.
     

     
     
    487
    C) Delay of repair of a closed-vent system for which leaks have been
    detected is allowed if the repair is technically infeasible without a
    process unit shutdown, or if the owner or operator determines that
    emissions resulting from immediate repair would be greater than
    the fugitive emissions likely to result from delay of repair. Repair
    of such equipment must be completed by the end of the next
    process unit shutdown.
     
    D) The owner or operator shall must maintain a record of the defect
    repair in accordance with the requirements specified in Section

    B) The unit is equipped with and operating air emission controls in
    accordance with the applicable requirements of Subparts AA and
    CC of this Part or Subparts AA and CC of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725.Subparts AA and CC; or
     
    C) The unit is equipped with and operating air emission controls in

    operator has done either of the following:
     
    A) The owner or operator has been issued a final permit under 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 702, 703, and 705 that implements the requirements of
    Subpart O of this Part; or
     

     
     
    488

    Section
     
    b) When a closed-vent system is tested for compliance with no detectable emissions,
    as required in Section 724.933(l), the test must comply with the following
    requirements:
     

     
     
    489
    1) Monitoring must comply with Reference Method 21 in 40 CFR 60,
    incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.
     
    2) The detection instrument must meet the performance criteria of Reference
    Method 21.
     
    3) The instrument must be calibrated before use on each day of its use by the
    procedures specified in Reference Method 21.
     
    4) Calibration gases must be as follows:
     
    A) Zero air (less than 10 ppm of hydrocarbon in air).; and
     
    B) A mixture of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of
    approximately, but less than, 10,000 ppm methane or n-hexane.
     
    5) The background level must be determined as set forth in Reference
    Method 21.
     
    6) The instrument probe must be traversed around all potential leak
    interfaces as close to the interface as possible as described in Reference
    Method 21.
     
    7) The arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration indicated
    by the instrument and the background level is compared with 500 ppm for
    determining compliance.
     
    c) Performance tests to determine compliance with Section 724.932(a) and with the
    total organic compound concentration limit of Section 724.933(c) must comply
    with the following:
     
    1) Performance tests to determine total organic compound concentrations and
    mass flow rates entering and exiting control devices must be conducted
    and data reduced in accordance with the following reference methods and
    calculation procedures:
     
    A) Method 2 in 40 CFR 60 for velocity and volumetric flow rate.
     
    B) Method 18 in 40 CFR 60 for organic content.
     
    C) Each performance test must consist of three separate runs, each run
    conducted for at least 1 one hour under the conditions that exist
    when the hazardous waste management unit is operating at the
    highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur. For

     
     
    490
    the purpose of determining total organic compound concentrations
    and mass flow rates, the average of results of all runs applies. The
    average must be computed on a time-weighed basis.
     
    D) Total organic mass flow rates must be determined by the following
    equation:
     
    h
    2sd
    i
    i
    -6
    E
    = Q
    x(
    n
    i = 1
    C xMW )x0.0416x10
      
    Where:
     
    Eh = The total organic mass flow rate, kg/h.
     
    Q2sd = The volumetric flow rate of gases entering or
    exiting control device, dscm/h, as determined by
    Method 2 in 40 CFR 60, incorporated by reference
    in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.
     
    n = The number of organic compounds in the vent gas.

    compound i in the vent gas, as determined by
    Method 18 in 40 CFR 60.
     
    MWi = The molecular weight of organic compound i in the
    vent gas, kg/kg-mol.
     
    0.0416 = The conversion factor for molar volume, kg-
    mol/m
    3
    , at 293 K and 760 mm Hg.
     
    10
    -6
    = The conversion factor from ppm.
     
    E) The annual total organic emission rate must be determined by the
    following equation:
     
    A = F
    ×
    H
     
    Where:
     
    A is total organic emission rate, kg/y.
     

     
     
    491
    F is the total organic mass flow rate, kg/h, as calculated in
    subsection (c)(1)(D) of this Section.
     
    H is the total annual hours of operation for the affected
    unit.
     
    F) Total organic emissions from all affected process vents at the
    facility must be determined by summing the hourly total organic
    mass emissions rates (F as determined in subsection (c)(1)(D) of
    this Section) and by summing the annual total organic mass
    emission rates (A as determined in subsection (c)(1)(E) of this
    Section) for all affected process vents at the facility.
     
    2) The owner or operator shall must record such process information as is
    necessary to determine the conditions of the performance tests.
    Operations during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction do not
    constitute representative conditions for the purpose of a performance test.
     
    3) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall must provide, or cause
    to be provided, performance testing facilities as follows:
     
    A) Sampling ports adequate for the test methods specified in
    subsection (c)(1) of this Section.
     
    B) Safe sampling platform(s) platforms.
     
    C) Safe access to sampling platform(s) platforms.
     
    D) Utilities for sampling and testing equipment.
     
    4) For the purpose of making compliance determinations, the time-weighted
    average of the results of the three runs must apply. In the event that a
    sample is accidentally lost or conditions occur in which one of the three
    runs must be discontinued because of forced shutdown, failure of an
    irreplaceable portion of the sample train, extreme meteorological
    conditions or other circumstances beyond the owner or operator’s control,
    compliance may, upon the Agency’s approval, be determined using the
    average of the results of the two other runs.
     
    d) To show that a process vent associated with a hazardous waste distillation,
    fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping
    operation is not subject to the requirements of this Subpart AA, the owner or
    operator shall must make an initial determination that the time-weighted, annual

     
     
    492
    average total organic concentration of the waste managed by the waste
    management unit is less than 10 ppmw using one of the following two methods:
     
    1) Direct measurement of the organic concentration of the waste using the
    following procedures:
     
    A) The owner or operator shall must take a minimum of four grab
    samples of waste for each wastestream managed in the affected
    unit under process conditions expected to cause the maximum
    waste organic concentration.
     
    B) For waste generated onsite, the grab samples must be collected at a
    point before the waste is exposed to the atmosphere such as in an
    enclosed pipe or other closed system that is used to transfer the
    waste after generation to the first affected distillation,
    fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or
    steam stripping operation. For waste generated offsite, the grab
    samples must be collected at the inlet to the first waste
    management unit that receives the waste provided the waste has
    been transferred to the facility in a closed system such as a tank
    truck and the waste is not diluted or mixed with other waste.
     
    C) Each sample must be analyzed and the total organic concentration
    of the sample must be computed using Method 9060 or 8260 of
    SW-846, incorporated by reference under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    720.111.
     
    D) The arithmetic mean of the results of the analyses of the four
    samples apply for each wastestream managed in the unit in
    determining the time-weighted, annual average total organic
    concentration of the waste. The time-weighted average is to be
    calculated using the annual quantity of each waste stream
    processed and the mean organic concentration of each wastestream
    managed in the unit.
     
    2) Using knowledge of the waste to determine that its total organic
    concentration is less than 10 ppmw. Documentation of the waste
    determination is required. Examples of documentation that must be used
    to support a determination under this subsection (d)(2) include the
    following:
     
    A) Production process information documenting that no organic
    compounds are used;
     

     
     
    493
    B) Information that the waste is generated by a process that is
    identical to a process at the same or another facility that has
    previously been demonstrated by direct measurement to generate a
    wastestream having a total organic content less than 10 ppmw; or
     
    C) Prior speciation analysis results on the same wastestream where it
    is also documented that no process changes have occurred since
    that analysis that could affect the waste total organic concentration.
     
    e) The determination that a distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent
    extraction, or air or steam stripping operation that manages hazardous wastes that
    have time-weighted, annual average total organic concentrations less than 10
    ppmw must be made as follows:
     
    1) By the effective date that the facility becomes subject to the provisions of
    this Subpart AA or by the date when the waste is first managed in a waste
    management unit, whichever is later; and either of the following:
     
    2) For continuously generated waste, annually; or
     
    3) Whenever there is a change in the waste being managed or a change in the
    process that generates or treats the waste.
     
    f) When an owner or operator and the Agency do not agree on whether a distillation,
    fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping
    operation manages a hazardous waste with organic concentrations of at least 10
    ppmw based on knowledge of the waste, the procedures in Method 8260 in SW-
    846, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, may be used to
    resolve the dispute.

    Section 724.935 Recordkeeping requirements Requirements
     
    a) Compliance Required.
     
    1) Each owner or operator subject to the provisions of this Subpart AA shall
    must comply with the recordkeeping requirements of this Section.
     
    2) An owner or operator of more than one hazardous waste management unit
    subject to the provisions of this Subpart AA may comply with the
    recordkeeping requirements for these hazardous waste management units
    in one recordkeeping system if the system identifies each record by each
    hazardous waste management unit.

     
     
    494
     
    b) Owners and operators shall must record the following information in the facility
    operating record:
     
    1) For facilities that comply with the provisions of Section 724.933(a)(2), an
    implementation schedule that includes dates by which the closed-vent
    system and control device will be installed and in operation. The schedule
    must also include a rationale of why the installation cannot be completed
    at an earlier date. The implementation schedule must be in the facility
    operating record by the effective date that the facility becomes subject to
    the provisions of this Subpart AA.
     
    2) Up-to-date documentation of compliance with the process vent standards
    in Section 724.932, including the following:
     
    A) Information and data identifying all affected process vents, annual
    throughput, and operating hours of each affected unit, estimated
    emission rates for each affected vent and for the overall facility
    (i.e., the total emissions for all affected vents at the facility), and
    the approximate location within the facility of each affected unit
    (e.g., identify the hazardous waste management units on a facility
    plot plan).
     
    B) Information and data supporting determination of vent emissions
    and emission reductions achieved by add-on control devices based
    on engineering calculations or source tests. For the purpose of
    determining compliance, determinations of vent emissions and
    emission reductions must be made using operating parameter
    values (e.g., temperatures, flow rates, or vent stream organic
    compounds and concentrations) that represent the conditions that
    result in maximum organic emissions, such as when the waste
    management unit is operating at the highest load or capacity level
    reasonably expected to occur. If the owner or operator takes any
    action (e.g., managing a waste of different composition or
    increasing operating hours of affected waste management units)
    that would result in an increase in total organic emissions from
    affected process vents at the facility, then a new determination is
    required.
     
    3) Where an owner or operator chooses to use test data to determine the
    organic removal efficiency or total organic compound concentration
    achieved by the control device, a performance test plan. The test plan
    must include the following:
     

     
     
    495
    A) A description of how it is determined that the planned test is going
    to be conducted when the hazardous waste management unit is
    operating at the highest load or capacity level reasonably expected
    to occur. This must include the estimated or design flow rate and
    organic content of each vent stream and define the acceptable
    operating ranges of key process and control device parameters
    during the test program.
     
    B) A detailed engineering description of the closed-vent system and
    control device including the following:
     
    i) Manufacturer’s name and model number of control device.;
     
    ii) Type of control device.;
     
    iii) Dimensions of the control device.;
     
    iv) Capacity.; and
     
    v) Construction materials.
     
    C) A detailed description of sampling and monitoring procedures,
    including sampling and monitoring locations in the system, the
    equipment to be used, sampling and monitoring frequency, and
    planned analytical procedures for sample analysis.
     
    4) Documentation of compliance with Section 724.933 must include the
    following information:
     
    A) A list of all information references and sources used in preparing
    the documentation.
     
    B) Records, including the dates of each compliance test required by
    Section 724.933(k).
     
    C) If engineering calculations are used, a design analysis,
    specifications, drawings, schematics, and piping and
    instrumentation diagrams based on the appropriate sections of
    APTI Course 415 (incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    720.111) or other engineering texts, approved by the Agency, that
    present basic control device design information. Documentation
    provided by the control device manufacturer or vendor that
    describes the control device design in accordance with subsections
    (b)(4)(C)(i) through (b)(4)(C)(vii) of this Section may be used to

     
     
    496
    comply with this requirement. The design analysis must address
    the vent stream characteristics and control device operation
    parameters as specified below.
     
    i) For a thermal vapor incinerator, the design analysis must
    consider the vent stream composition, constituent
    concentrations and flow rate. The design analysis must
    also establish the design minimum and average temperature
    in the combustion zone and the combustion zone residence
    time.
     
    ii) For a catalytic vapor incinerator, the design analysis must
    consider the vent stream composition, constituent
    concentrations, and flow rate. The design analysis must
    also establish the design minimum and average
    temperatures across the catalyst bed inlet and outlet.
     
    iii) For a boiler or process heater, the design analysis must
    consider the vent stream composition, constituent
    concentrations and flow rate. The design analysis must
    also establish the design minimum and average flame zone

    adsorber that regenerates the carbon bed directly onsite in
    the control device, the design analysis must consider the
    vent stream composition, constituent concentrations, flow
    rate, relative humidity and temperature. The design

     
     
    497
    analysis must also establish the design exhaust vent stream
    organic compound concentration level, number and
    capacity of carbon beds, type and working capacity of
    activated carbon used for carbon beds, design total steam
    flow over the period of each complete carbon bed
    regeneration cycle, duration of the carbon bed steaming and
    cooling/drying cycles, design carbon bed temperature after
    regeneration, design carbon bed regeneration time and
    design service life of carbon.
     
    vii) For a carbon adsorption system such as a carbon canister
    that does not regenerate the carbon bed directly onsite in
    the control device, the design analysis must consider the
    vent stream composition, constituent concentrations, flow
    rate, relative humidity and temperature. The design
    analysis must also establish the design outlet organic
    concentration level, capacity of carbon bed, type and
    working capacity of activated carbon used for carbon bed
    and design carbon replacement interval based on the total
    carbon working capacity of the control device and source
    operating schedule.

    weight percent or the total organic emission limits of Section
    724.932(a) for affected process vents at the facility are attained by
    a control device involving vapor recovery at an efficiency less than
    95 weight percent. A statement provided by the control device
    manufacturer or vendor certifying that the control equipment meets
    the design specifications may be used to comply with this
    requirement.
     
    F) If performance tests are used to demonstrate compliance, all test
    results.
     

     
     
    498
    c) Design documentation and monitoring operating and inspection information for
    each closed-vent system and control device required to comply with the
    provisions of this Part must be recorded and kept up-to-date in the facility
    operating record. The information must include the following:
     
    1) Description and date of each modification that is made to the closed-vent
    system or control device design.

    760° C.
     
    B) For a thermal vapor incinerator designed to operate with an
    organic emission reduction efficiency of 95 weight percent or
    greater, any period when the combustion zone temperature is more

    (b)(4)(C)(ii) of this Section; or
     
    ii) Temperature difference across the catalyst bed is less than
    80% of the design average temperature difference
    established as a requirement of subsection (b)(4)(C)(ii) of

    1) Monitoring must comply with Reference Method 21 in 40 CFR 60,
    incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.
     
    2) The detection instrument must meet the performance criteria of Reference
    Method 21.
     
    3) The instrument must be calibrated before use on each day of its use by the
    procedures specified in Reference Method 21.
     
    4) Calibration gases must be as follows:
     
    A) Zero air (less than 10 ppm of hydrocarbon in air).; and
     
    B) A mixture of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of
    approximately, but less than 10,000 ppm methane or n-hexane.
     
    5) The instrument probe must be traversed around all potential leak
    interfaces as close to the interface as possible as described in Reference
    Method 21.
     
    c) When equipment is tested for compliance with no detectable emissions, as
    required in Sections 724.952(e), 724.953(i), 724.954, and 724.957(f), the test
    must comply with the following requirements:

    determining compliance.
     
    d) In accordance with the waste analysis plan required by Section 724.113(b), an
    owner or operator of a facility shall must determine, for each piece of equipment,
    whether the equipment contains or contacts a hazardous waste with organic
    concentration that equals or exceeds 10 percent by weight using the following:
     
    1) Methods described in ASTM Methods D 2267-88, E 168-88, E 169-87,
    and E 260-85, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111;
     
    2) Method 9060 or 8260 of SW-846, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 720.111; or
     
    3) Application of the knowledge of the nature of the hazardous wastestream
    or the process by which it was produced. Documentation of a waste
    determination by knowledge is required. Examples of documentation that
    must be used to support a determination under this provision include
    production process information documenting that no organic compounds
    are used, information that the waste is generated by a process that is
    identical to a process at the same or another facility that has previously
    been demonstrated by direct measurement to have a total organic content
    less than 10 percent, or prior speciation analysis results on the same
    wastestream where it is also documented that no process changes have
    occurred since that analysis that could affect the waste total organic
    concentration.
     
    e) If an owner or operator determines that a piece of equipment contains or contacts
    a hazardous waste with organic concentrations at least 10 percent by weight, the
    determination can be revised only after following the procedures in subsection
    (d)(1) or (d)(2) of this Section.
     
    f) When an owner or operator and the Agency do not agree on whether a piece of
    equipment contains or contacts a hazardous waste with organic concentrations at
    least 10 percent by weight, the procedures in subsection (d)(1) or (d)(2) of this
    Section must be used to resolve the dispute.
     

     
     
    518
    g) Samples used in determining the percent organic content must be representative
    of the highest total organic content hazardous waste that is expected to be
    contained in or contact the equipment.
     
    h) To determine if pumps or valves are in light liquid service, the vapor pressures of
    constituents must either be obtained from standard reference texts or be
    determined by ASTM D 2879-92, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    720.111.
     
    i) Performance tests to determine if a control device achieves 95 weight percent
    organic emission reduction must comply with the procedures of Section
    724.934(c)(1) through (c)(4).

    a) Waste determination procedure for average volatile organic (VO) concentration of
    a hazardous waste at the point of waste origination.
     
    1) An owner or operator shall must determine the average VO concentration
    at the point of waste origination for each hazardous waste placed in a
    waste management unit exempted under the provisions of Section
    724.982(c)(1) from using air emission controls in accordance with
    standards specified in Section 724.984 through Section 724.987, as
    applicable to the waste management unit.
     
    A) An owner or operator shall must make an initial determination of the
    average VO concentration of the waste stream before the first time
    any portion of the material in the hazardous waste stream is placed
    in a waste management unit exempted under the provisions of
    Section 724.982(c)(1) from using air emission controls. Thereafter,
    an owner or operator shall must make an initial determination of the
    average VO concentration of the waste stream for each averaging
    period that a hazardous waste is managed in the unit.
     
    B) An owner or operator shall must perform a new waste determination
    whenever changes to the source generating the waste stream are
    reasonably likely to cause the average VO concentration of the
    hazardous waste to increase to a level that is equal to or greater than
    the applicable VO concentration limits specified in Section 724.982.
     
    2) For a waste determination that is required by subsection (a)(1) of this
    Section, the average VO concentration of a hazardous waste at the point of
    waste origination must be determined in accordance with the procedures
    specified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.984(a)(2) through (a)(4).
     
    b) Waste determination procedures for treated hazardous waste.

    accordance with standards specified in Sections 724.984 through 724.987,
    as applicable to the waste management unit.
     

     
     
    534
    A) An owner or operator shall must make an initial determination of the
    average VO concentration of the waste stream before the first time
    any portion of the material in the treated waste stream is placed in
    the exempt waste management unit. Thereafter, an owner or
    operator shall must update the information used for the waste
    determination at least once every 12 months following the date of
    the initial waste determination.
     
    B) An owner or operator shall must perform a new waste determination
    whenever changes to the process generating or treating the waste
    stream are reasonably likely to cause the average VO concentration
    of the hazardous waste to increase to such a level that the applicable

    a) The provisions of this Section apply to the control of air pollutant emissions from
    tanks for which Section 724.982(b) references the use of this Section for such air
    emission control.
     

     
     
    535
    b) The owner or operator shall must control air pollutant emissions from each tank
    subject to this Section in accordance with the following requirements, as
    applicable:
     
    1) For a tank that manages hazardous waste that meets all of the conditions
    specified in subsections (b)(1)(A) through (b)(1)(C) of this Section, the
    owner or operator shall must control air pollutant emissions from the tank
    in accordance with the Tank Level 1 controls specified in subsection (c) of
    this Section or the Tank Level 2 controls specified in subsection (d) of this
    Section.
     
    A) The hazardous waste in the tank has a maximum organic vapor
    pressure that is less than the maximum organic vapor pressure
    limit for the tank’s design capacity category, as follows:
     
    i) For a tank design capacity equal to or greater than 151 m
    3
     
    (39,900 gal), the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for
    the tank is 5.2 kPa (0.75 psig).
     
    ii) For a tank design capacity equal to or greater than 75 m
    3
     
    (19,800 gal) but less than 151 m
    3
    (39,900 gal), the
    maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank is 27.6
    kPa (4.00 psig).
     
    iii) For a tank design capacity less than 75 m
    3
    (19,800 gal), the
    maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank is 76.6
    kPa (11.1 psig).
     
    B) The hazardous waste in the tank is not heated by the owner or
    operator to a temperature that is greater than the temperature at
    which the maximum organic vapor pressure of the hazardous waste
    is determined for the purpose of complying with subsection
    (b)(1)(A) of this Section.
     
    C) The owner or operator does not treat the hazardous waste in the
    tank using a waste stabilization process, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 725.981.
     
    2) For a tank that manages hazardous waste that does not meet all of the
    conditions specified in subsections (b)(1)(A) through (b)(1)(C) of this
    Section, the owner or operator shall must control air pollutant emissions
    from the tank by using Tank Level 2 controls in accordance with the
    requirements of subsection (d) of this Section. Examples of tanks required
    to use Tank Level 2 controls include a tank used for a waste stabilization

     
     
    536
    process and a tank for which the hazardous waste in the tank has a
    maximum organic vapor pressure that is equal to or greater than the
    maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank’s design capacity
    category, as specified in subsection (b)(1)(A) of this Section.
     
    c) Owners and operators controlling air pollutant emissions from a tank using Tank
    Level 1 controls must meet the requirements specified in subsections (c)(1)

    Level 1 controls before the first time the hazardous waste is placed in the
    tank. The maximum organic vapor pressure must be determined using the
    procedures specified in Section 724.983(c). Thereafter, the owner or
    operator shall must perform a new determination whenever changes to the
    hazardous waste managed in the tank could potentially cause the
    maximum organic vapor pressure to increase to a level that is equal to or
    greater than the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank design
    capacity category specified in subsection (b)(1)(A) of this Section, as
    applicable to the tank.
     
    2) The tank must be equipped with a fixed roof designed to meet the
    following specifications:
     
    A) The fixed roof and its closure devices must be designed to form a
    continuous barrier over the entire surface area of the hazardous
    waste in the tank. The fixed roof may be a separate cover installed
    on the tank (e.g., a removable cover mounted on an open-top tank)
    or may be an integral part of the tank structural design (e.g., a
    horizontal cylindrical tank equipped with a hatch).
     
    B) The fixed roof must be installed in such a manner that there are no
    visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces between roof
    section joints or between the interface of the roof edge and the tank
    wall.
     
    C) Either of the following must be true of each opening in the fixed
    roof and of any manifold system associated with the fixed roof:
     
    i) The opening or manifold system is equipped with a closure

    holes, gaps, or other open spaces in the closure device or

     
     
    537
    between the perimeter of the opening and the closure
    device; or
     
    ii) The opening or manifold system is connected by a closed-
    vent system that is vented to a control device. The control
    device must remove or destroy organics in the vent stream,
    and it must be operating whenever hazardous waste is
    managed in the tank, except as provided for in subsection
    (c)(2)(E) of this Section.
     
    D) The fixed roof and its closure devices must be made of suitable
    materials that will minimize exposure of the hazardous waste to
    the atmosphere, to the extent practical, and will maintain the
    integrity of the fixed roof and closure devices throughout their
    intended service life. Factors to be considered when selecting the
    materials for and designing the fixed roof and closure devices must
    include the following: the organic vapor permeability; the effects
    of any contact with the hazardous waste or its vapors managed in
    the tank; the effects of outdoor exposure to wind, moisture, and
    sunlight; and the operating practices used for the tank on which the
    fixed roof is installed.
     
    E) The control device operated pursuant to subsection (c)(2)(C) of
    this Section needs not remove or destroy organics in the vent
    stream under the following conditions:
     
    i) During periods when it is necessary to provide access to the
    tank for performing the activities of subsection (c)(2)(E)(ii)
    of this Section, venting of the vapor headspace underneath
    the fixed roof to the control device is not required, opening
    of closure devices is allowed, and removal of the fixed roof
    is allowed. Following completion of the activity, the owner
    or operator shall must promptly secure the closure device in
    the closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable, and
    resume operation of the control device; and
     
    ii) During periods of routine inspection, maintenance, or other
    activities needed for normal operations, and for removal of
    accumulated sludge or other residues from the bottom of
    the tank.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Subsections (c)(2)(E)(i) and (c)(2)(E)(ii) of this
    Section are derived from 40 CFR 264.1084(c)(2)(iii)(B)(
    1
    ) and

     
     
    538
    (c)(2)(iii)(B)(
    2
    ), which the Board has codified here to comport
    with Illinois Administrative Code format requirements.
     
    3) Whenever a hazardous waste is in the tank, the fixed roof must be
    installed with each closure device secured in the closed position, except as
    follows:
     
    A) Opening of closure devices or removal of the fixed roof is allowed
    at the following times:
     
    i) To provide access to the tank for performing routine
    inspection, maintenance, or other activities needed for
    normal operations. Examples of such activities include
    those times when a worker needs to open a port to sample
    the liquid in the tank, or when a worker needs to open a
    hatch to maintain or repair equipment. Following
    completion of the activity, the owner or operator shall must
    promptly secure the closure device in the closed position or
    reinstall the cover, as applicable, to the tank.
     
    ii) To remove accumulated sludge or other residues from the
    bottom of the tank.
     
    B) Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve,
    conservation vent, or similar type of pressure relief device that
    vents to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for
    the purpose of maintaining the tank internal pressure in accordance
    with the tank design specifications. The device must be designed
    to operate with no detectable organic emissions when the device is
    secured in the closed position. The settings at which the device
    opens must be established so that the device remains in the closed
    position whenever the tank internal pressure is within the internal
    pressure operating range determined by the owner or operator
    based on the tank manufacturer recommendations, applicable
    regulations, fire protection and prevention codes, standard
    engineering codes and practices, or other requirements for the safe
    handling of flammable, ignitable, explosive, reactive, or hazardous
    materials. Examples of normal operating conditions that may
    require these devices to open are during those times when the tank
    internal pressure exceeds the internal pressure operating range for
    the tank as a result of loading operations or diurnal ambient
    temperature fluctuations.
     

     
     
    539
    C) Opening of a safety device, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725.981, is allowed at any time conditions require doing so to
    avoid an unsafe condition.

    equipment in accordance with the following requirements.
     
    A) The fixed roof and its closure devices must be visually inspected
    by the owner or operator to check for defects that could result in
    air pollutant emissions. Defects include, but are not limited to,
    visible cracks, holes, or gaps in the roof sections or between the
    roof and the tank wall; broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged
    seals or gaskets on closure devices; and broken or missing hatches,
    access covers, caps, or other closure devices.
     
    B) The owner or operator shall must perform an initial inspection of
    the fixed roof and its closure devices on or before the date that the
    tank becomes subject to this Section. Thereafter, the owner or
    operator shall must perform the inspections at least once every
    year except under the special conditions provided for in subsection
    (l) of this Section.
     
    C) In the event that a defect is detected, the owner or operator shall
    must repair the defect in accordance with the requirements of
    subsection (k) of this Section.

    floating roof in accordance with the following requirements:
     
    i) The floating roof and its closure devices must be visually
    inspected by the owner or operator to check for defects that
    could result in air pollutant emissions. Defects include, but
    are not limited to, any of the following conditions: holes,
    tears, or other openings in the rim seal or seal fabric of the
    floating roof; a rim seal detached from the floating roof; all
    or a portion of the floating roof deck being submerged

     
     
    547
    below the surface of the liquid in the tank; broken, cracked,
    or otherwise damaged seals or gaskets on closure devices;
    and broken or missing hatches, access covers, caps, or
    other closure devices.
     
    ii) The owner or operator shall must perform an initial
    inspection of the external floating roof and its closure
    devices on or before the date that the tank becomes subject
    to this Section. Thereafter, the owner or operator shall
    must perform the inspections at least once every year
    except for the special conditions provided for in subsection
    (l) of this Section.
     
    iii) In the event that a defect is detected, the owner or operator
    shall must repair the defect in accordance with the
    requirements of subsection (k) of this Section.
     
    iv) The owner or operator shall must maintain a record of the
    inspection in accordance with the requirements specified in

    C) Prior to each inspection required by subsection (f)(3)(A) or
    (f)(3)(B) of this Section, the owner or operator shall must notify
    the Agency in advance of each inspection to provide the Agency
    with the opportunity to have an observer present during the
    inspection. The owner or operator shall must notify the Agency of
    the date and location of the inspection, as follows:
     
    i) Prior to each inspection to measure external floating roof
    seal gaps as required under subsection (f)(3)(A) of this
    Section, written notification must be prepared and sent by
    the owner or operator so that it is received by the Agency at
    least 30 calendar days before the date the measurements are
    scheduled to be performed.
     
    ii) Prior to each visual inspection of an external floating roof
    in a tank that has been emptied and degassed, written
    notification must be prepared and sent by the owner or
    operator so that it is received by the Agency at least 30
    calendar days before refilling the tank, except when an
    inspection is not planned as provided for in subsection
    (f)(3)(C)(iii) of this Section.
     

     
     
    548
    iii) When a visual inspection is not planned and the owner or
    operator could not have known about the inspection 30
    calendar days before refilling the tank, the owner or
    operator shall must notify the Agency as soon as possible,
    but no later than seven calendar days before refilling of the
    tank. This notification may be made by telephone and
    immediately followed by a written explanation for why the
    inspection is unplanned. Alternatively, written notification,
    including the explanation for the unplanned inspection,
    may be sent so that it is received by the Agency at least
    seven calendar days before refilling the tank.
     
    D) Procedure for determining the total surface area of gaps in the
    primary seal and the secondary seal:
     
    i) The seal gap measurements must be performed at one or
    more floating roof levels when the roof is floating off the
    roof supports.
     
    ii) Seal gaps, if any, must be measured around the entire
    perimeter of the floating roof in each place where a 0.32
    cm (0.125 in) diameter uniform probe passes freely
    (without forcing or binding against the seal) between the
    seal and the wall of the tank and measure the
    circumferential distance of each such location.
     
    iii) For a seal gap measured under subsection (f)(3) of this
    Section, the gap surface area must be determined by using
    probes of various widths to measure accurately the actual
    distance from the tank wall to the seal and multiplying each
    such width by its respective circumferential distance.
     
    iv) The total gap area must be calculated by adding the gap
    surface areas determined for each identified gap location
    for the primary seal and the secondary seal individually,
    and then dividing the sum for each seal type by the nominal
    diameter of the tank. These total gap areas for the primary
    seal and secondary seal are then compared to the respective
    standards for the seal type, as specified in subsection
    (f)(1)(B) of this Section.

    mountings; broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged seals or gaskets
    on closure devices; and broken or missing hatches, access covers,
    caps, or other closure devices.
     
    B) The closed-vent system and control device must be inspected and
    monitored by the owner or operator in accordance with the
    procedures specified in Section 724.987.
     

     
     
    559
    C) The owner or operator shall must perform an initial inspection of
    the air emission control equipment on or before the date that the
    surface impoundment becomes subject to this Section. Thereafter,
    the owner or operator shall must perform the inspections at least
    once every year except for the special conditions provided for in
    subsection (g) of this Section.
     
    D) In the event that a defect is detected, the owner or operator shall
    must repair the defect in accordance with the requirements of
    subsection (f) of this Section.
     
    E) The owner or operator shall must maintain a record of the
    inspection in accordance with the requirements specified in
    Section 724.989(c).
     
    e) The owner or operator shall must transfer hazardous waste to a surface
    impoundment subject to this Section in accordance with the following
    requirements:
     
    1) Transfer of hazardous waste, except as provided in subsection (e)(2) of
    this Section, to the surface impoundment from another surface
    impoundment subject to this Section or from a tank subject to Section
    724.984 must be conducted using continuous hard-piping or another
    closed system that does not allow exposure of the waste to the
    atmosphere. For the purpose of complying with this provision, an
    individual drain system is considered to be a closed system when it meets
    the requirements of 40 CFR 63, Subpart RR, “National Emission
    Standards for Individual Drain Systems,”, incorporated by reference in 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.
     
    2) The requirements of subsection (e)(1) of this Section do not apply when
    transferring a hazardous waste to the surface impoundment under any of
    the following conditions:
     
    A) The hazardous waste meets the average VO concentration
    conditions specified in Section 724.982(c)(1) at the point of waste
    origination.
     
    B) The hazardous waste has been treated by an organic destruction or
    removal process to meet the requirements in Section
    724.982(c)(2).
     
    C) The hazardous waste meets the requirements of Section
    724.982(c)(4).

     
     
    560
     
    f) The owner or operator shall must repair each defect detected during an inspection
    performed in accordance with the requirements of subsection (c)(3) or (d)(3) of
    this Section as follows:
     
    1) The owner or operator shall must make first efforts at repair of the defect
    no later than five calendar days after detection and repair must be
    completed as soon as possible but no later than 45 calendar days after
    detection except as provided in subsection (f)(2) of this Section.
     
    2) Repair of a defect may be delayed beyond 45 calendar days if the owner
    or operator determines that repair of the defect requires emptying or
    temporary removal from service of the surface impoundment and no
    alternative capacity is available at the site to accept the hazardous waste
    normally managed in the surface impoundment. In this case, the owner or
    operator shall must repair the defect the next time the process or unit that
    is generating the hazardous waste managed in the surface impoundment
    stops operation. Repair of the defect must be completed before the
    process or unit resumes operation.
     
    g) Following the initial inspection and monitoring of the cover, as required by the
    applicable provisions of this Subpart CC, subsequent inspection and monitoring
    may be performed at intervals longer than one year in the case when inspecting or
    monitoring the cover would expose a worker to dangerous, hazardous, or other
    unsafe conditions. In this case, the owner or operator may designate the cover as
    an “unsafe to inspect and monitor cover” and comply with all of the following
    requirements:
     
    1) Prepare a written explanation for the cover stating the reasons why the
    cover is unsafe to visually inspect or to monitor, if required.
     
    2) Develop and implement a written plan and schedule to inspect and
    monitor the cover using the procedures specified in the applicable Section
    of this Subpart CC as frequently as practicable during those times when a
    worker can safely access the cover.

    Section 724.986 Standards: Containers
     
    a) The provisions of this Section apply to the control of air pollutant emissions from
    containers for which Section 724.982(b) references the use of this Section for
    such air emission control.
     

     
     
    561
    b) General requirements.
     
    1) The owner or operator shall must control air pollutant emissions from each
    container subject to this Section in accordance with the following
    requirements, as applicable to the container, except when the special
    provisions for waste stabilization processes specified in subsection (b)(2)
    of this Section apply to the container.
     
    A) For a container having a design capacity greater than 0.1 m
    3
    (26
    gal) and less than or equal to 0.46 m
    3
    (120 gal), the owner or
    operator shall must control air pollutant emissions from the
    container in accordance with the Container Level 1 standards
    specified in subsection (c) of this Section.
     
    B) For a container having a design capacity greater than 0.46 m
    3
    (120
    gal) that is not in light material service, the owner or operator shall
    must control air pollutant emissions from the container in
    accordance with the Container Level 1 standards, specified in
    subsection (c) of this Section.
     
    C) For a container having a design capacity greater than 0.46 m
    3
    (120
    gal) that is in light material service, the owner or operator shall
    must control air pollutant emissions from the container in
    accordance with the Container Level 2 standards specified in
    subsection (d) of this Section.
     
    2) When a container having a design capacity greater than 0.1 m
    3
    (26 gal) is
    used for treatment of a hazardous waste by a waste stabilization process,
    the owner or operator shall must control air pollutant emissions from the
    container in accordance with the Container Level 3 standards specified in
    subsection (e) of this Section at those times during the waste stabilization
    process when the hazardous waste in the container is exposed to the
    atmosphere.
     
    c) Container Level 1 standards.
     
    1) A container using Container Level 1 controls is one of the following:
     
    A) A container that meets the applicable USDOT regulations on
    packaging hazardous materials for transportation, as specified in
    subsection (f) of this Section.
     
    B) A container equipped with a cover and closure devices that form a
    continuous barrier over the container openings so that when the

     
     
    562
    cover and closure devices are secured in the closed position there
    are no visible holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the interior of
    the container. The cover may be a separate cover installed on the
    container (e.g., a lid on a drum or a suitably secured tarp on a roll-
    off box) or may be an integral part of the container structural
    design (e.g., a “portable tank” or bulk cargo container equipped
    with a screw-type cap).
     
    C) An open-top container in which an organic-vapor suppressing
    barrier is placed on or over the hazardous waste in the container so
    that no hazardous waste is exposed to the atmosphere. One
    example of such a barrier is application of a suitable organic-vapor
    suppressing foam.
     
    2) A container used to meet the requirements of subsection (c)(1)(B) or
    (c)(1)(C) of this Section must be equipped with covers and closure
    devices, as applicable to the container, that are composed of suitable
    materials to minimize exposure of the hazardous waste to the atmosphere
    and to maintain the equipment integrity, for as long as it is in service.
    Factors to be considered in selecting the materials of construction and
    designing the cover and closure devices must include the following: the
    organic vapor permeability; the effects of contact with the hazardous
    waste or its vapor managed in the container; the effects of outdoor
    exposure of the closure device or cover material to wind, moisture, and
    sunlight; and the operating practices for which the container is intended to
    be used.
     
    3) Whenever a hazardous waste is in a container using Container Level 1
    controls, the owner or operator shall must install all covers and closure
    devices for the container, as applicable to the container, and secure and
    maintain each closure device in the closed position, except as follows:
     
    A) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose of
    adding hazardous waste or other material to the container, as
    follows:
     
    i) In the case when the container is filled to the intended final
    level in one continuous operation, the owner or operator
    shall must promptly secure the closure devices in the closed
    position and install the covers, as applicable to the
    container, upon conclusion of the filling operation.
     
    ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material
    intermittently are added to the container over a period of

     
     
    563
    time, the owner or operator shall must promptly secure the
    closure devices in the closed position and install covers, as
    applicable to the container, upon either the container being
    filled to the intended final level; the completion of a batch
    loading after which no additional material will be added to
    the container within 15 minutes; the person performing the
    loading operation leaving the immediate vicinity of the
    container; or the shutdown of the process generating the
    material being added to the container, whichever condition
    occurs first.
     
    B) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose of
    removing hazardous waste from the container, as follows:
     
    i) For the purpose of meeting the requirements of this
    Section, an empty container, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 721.107(b), may be open to the atmosphere at any
    time (i.e., covers and closure devices are not required to be
    secured in the closed position on an empty container).
     
    ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material
    are removed from the container but the container does not
    meet the conditions to be an empty container, as defined in
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.107(b), the owner or operator shall
    must promptly secure the closure devices in the closed
    position and install covers, as applicable to the container,
    upon the completion of a batch removal after which no
    additional material will be removed from the container
    within 15 minutes or the person performing the unloading
    operation leaves the immediate vicinity of the container,
    whichever condition occurs first.
     
    C) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed when access inside
    the container is needed to perform routine activities other than
    transfer of hazardous waste. Examples of such activities include
    those times when a worker needs to open a port to measure the
    depth of or sample the material in the container, or when a worker
    needs to open a manhole hatch to access equipment inside the
    container. Following completion of the activity, the owner or
    operator shall must promptly secure the closure device in the
    closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable to the container.
     
    D) Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve,
    conservation vent, or similar type of pressure relief device that

     
     
    564
    vents to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for
    the purpose of maintaining the internal pressure of the container in
    accordance with the container design specifications. The device
    must be designed to operate with no detectable organic emissions
    when the device is secured in the closed position. The settings at
    which the device opens must be established so that the device
    remains in the closed position whenever the internal pressure of
    the container is within the internal pressure operating range
    determined by the owner or operator based on container
    manufacturer recommendations, applicable regulations, fire
    protection and prevention codes, standard engineering codes and
    practices, or other requirements for the safe handling of
    flammable, ignitable, explosive, reactive, or hazardous materials.
    Examples of normal operating conditions that may require these
    devices to open are during those times when the internal pressure
    of the container exceeds the internal pressure operating range for
    the container as a result of loading operations or diurnal ambient
    temperature fluctuations.
     
    E) Opening of a safety device, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725.981, is allowed at any time conditions require doing so to
    avoid an unsafe condition.
     
    4) The owner or operator of containers using Container Level 1 controls shall
    must inspect the containers and their covers and closure devices, as
    follows:
     
    A) In the case when a hazardous waste already is in the container at
    the time the owner or operator first accepts possession of the
    container at the facility and the container is not emptied within 24
    hours after the container is accepted at the facility (i.e., it does not
    meet the conditions for an empty container, as specified in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 721.107(b)), the owner or operator shall must visually
    inspect the container and its cover and closure devices to check for
    visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the interior of
    the container when the cover and closure devices are secured in the
    closed position. The container visual inspection must be
    conducted on or before the date on which the container is accepted
    at the facility (i.e., the date when the container becomes subject to
    the Subpart CC container standards). For the purposes of this
    requirement, the date of acceptance is the date of signature that the
    facility owner or operator enters on Item 20 of the Uniform
    Hazardous Waste Manifest, incorporated by reference in Appendix
    A to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.Appendix A (USEPA Forms 8700-22

     
     
    565
    and 8700-22A), as required under Section 724.171. If a defect is
    detected, the owner or operator shall must repair the defect in
    accordance with the requirements of subsection (c)(4)(C) of this
    Section.
     
    B) In the case when a container used for managing hazardous waste
    remains at the facility for a period of one year or more, the owner
    or operator shall must visually inspect the container and its cover
    and closure devices initially and thereafter, at least once every 12
    months, to check for visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open
    spaces into the interior of the container when the cover and closure
    devices are secured in the closed position. If a defect is detected,
    the owner or operator shall must repair the defect in accordance
    with the requirements of subsection (c)(4)(C) of this Section.
     
    C) When a defect is detected for the container, cover, or closure
    devices, the owner or operator shall must make first efforts at
    repair of the defect no later than 24 hours after detection and repair
    must be completed as soon as possible but no later than five
    calendar days after detection. If repair of a defect cannot be
    completed within five calendar days, then the hazardous waste
    must be removed from the container and the container must not be
    used to manage hazardous waste until the defect is repaired.
     
    5) The owner or operator shall must maintain at the facility a copy of the
    procedure used to determine that containers with capacity of 0.46 m
    3
    (120
    gal) or greater which that do not meet applicable DOT USDOT
    regulations, as specified in subsection (f) of this Section, are not managing
    hazardous waste in light material service.
     
    d) Container Level 2 standards.
     
    1) A container using Container Level 2 controls is one of the following:
     
    A) A container that meets the applicable USDOT regulations on
    packaging hazardous materials for transportation, as specified in
    subsection (f) of this Section.
     
    B) A container that operates with no detectable organic emissions, as
    defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.981, and determined in
    accordance with the procedure specified in subsection (g) of this
    Section.
     

     
     
    566
    C) A container that has been demonstrated within the preceding 12
    months to be vapor-tight by using 40 CFR 60, appendix A, Method
    27, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, in
    accordance with the procedure specified in subsection (h) of this
    Section.
     
    2) Transfer of hazardous waste in or out of a container using Container Level
    2 controls must be conducted in such a manner as to minimize exposure of
    the hazardous waste to the atmosphere, to the extent practical, considering
    the physical properties of the hazardous waste and good engineering and
    safety practices for handling flammable, ignitable, explosive, reactive, or
    other hazardous materials. Examples of container loading procedures that
    the USEPA considers to meet the requirements of this subsection (d)(2)
    include using any one of the following: a submerged-fill pipe or other
    submerged-fill method to load liquids into the container; a vapor-
    balancing system or a vapor-recovery system to collect and control the
    vapors displaced from the container during filling operations; or a fitted
    opening in the top of a container through which the hazardous waste is
    filled and subsequently purging the transfer line before removing it from
    the container opening.
     
    3) Whenever a hazardous waste is in a container using Container Level 2
    controls, the owner or operator shall must install all covers and closure
    devices for the container, and secure and maintain each closure device in
    the closed position, except as follows:
     
    A) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose of
    adding hazardous waste or other material to the container, as
    follows:
     
    i) In the case when the container is filled to the intended final
    level in one continuous operation, the owner or operator
    shall must promptly secure the closure devices in the closed
    position and install the covers, as applicable to the
    container, upon conclusion of the filling operation.
     
    ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material
    intermittently are added to the container over a period of
    time, the owner or operator shall must promptly secure the
    closure devices in the closed position and install covers, as
    applicable to the container, upon either the container being
    filled to the intended final level; the completion of a batch
    loading after which no additional material will be added to
    the container within 15 minutes; the person performing the

     
     
    567
    loading operation leaving the immediate vicinity of the
    container; or the shutdown of the process generating the
    material being added to the container, whichever condition
    occurs first.
     
    B) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose of
    removing hazardous waste from the container, as follows:
     
    i) For the purpose of meeting the requirements of this
    Section, an empty container, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 721.107(b), may be open to the atmosphere at any
    time (i.e., covers and closure devices are not required to be
    secured in the closed position on an empty container).
     
    ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material
    are removed from the container but the container does not
    meet the conditions to be an empty container, as defined in
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.107(b), the owner or operator shall
    must promptly secure the closure devices in the closed
    position and install covers, as applicable to the container,
    upon the completion of a batch removal after which no
    additional material will be removed from the container
    within 15 minutes or the person performing the unloading
    operation leaves the immediate vicinity of the container,
    whichever condition occurs first.
     
    C) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed when access inside
    the container is needed to perform routine activities other than
    transfer of hazardous waste. Examples of such activities include
    those times when a worker needs to open a port to measure the
    depth of or sample the material in the container, or when a worker
    needs to open a manhole hatch to access equipment inside the
    container. Following completion of the activity, the owner or
    operator shall must promptly secure the closure device in the
    closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable to the container.
     
    D) Opening of a spring-loaded, pressure-vacuum relief valve,
    conservation vent, or similar type of pressure relief device that
    vents to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for
    the purpose of maintaining the internal pressure of the container in
    accordance with the container design specifications. The device
    must be designed to operate with no detectable organic emission
    when the device is secured in the closed position. The settings at
    which the device opens must be established so that the device

     
     
    568
    remains in the closed position whenever the internal pressure of
    the container is within the internal pressure operating range
    determined by the owner or operator based on container
    manufacturer recommendations, applicable regulations, fire
    protection and prevention codes, standard engineering codes and
    practices, or other requirements for the safe handling of
    flammable, ignitable, explosive, reactive, or hazardous materials.
    Examples of normal operating conditions that may require these
    devices to open are during those times when the internal pressure
    of the container exceeds the internal pressure operating range for
    the container as a result of loading operations or diurnal ambient
    temperature fluctuations.
     
    E) Opening of a safety device, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    725.981, is allowed at any time conditions require doing so to
    avoid an unsafe condition.
     
    4) The owner or operator of containers using Container Level 2 controls shall
    must inspect the containers and their covers and closure devices, as
    follows:
     
    A) In the case when a hazardous waste already is in the container at
    the time the owner or operator first accepts possession of the
    container at the facility and the container is not emptied within 24
    hours after the container is accepted at the facility (i.e., it does not
    meet the conditions for an empty container as specified in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 721.107(b)), the owner or operator shall must visually
    inspect the container and its cover and closure devices to check for
    visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the interior of
    the container when the cover and closure devices are secured in the
    closed position. The container visual inspection must be
    conducted on or before the date on which the container is accepted
    at the facility (i.e., the date when the container becomes subject to
    the Subpart CC container standards). For the purposes of this
    requirement, the date of acceptance is the date of signature that the
    facility owner or operator enters on Item 20 of the Uniform
    Hazardous Waste Manifest incorporated by reference in the
    appendix to 40 CFR 262 (USEPA Forms 8700-22 and 8700-22A),
    as required under Section 724.171. If a defect is detected, the
    owner or operator shall must repair the defect in accordance with
    the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(C) of this Section.
     
    B) In the case when a container used for managing hazardous waste
    remains at the facility for a period of one year or more, the owner

     
     
    569
    or operator shall must visually inspect the container and its cover
    and closure devices initially and thereafter, at least once every 12
    months, to check for visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open
    spaces into the interior of the container when the cover and closure
    devices are secured in the closed position. If a defect is detected,
    the owner or operator shall must repair the defect in accordance
    with the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(C) of this Section.
     
    C) When a defect is detected for the container, cover, or closure
    devices, the owner or operator shall must make first efforts at
    repair of the defect no later than 24 hours after detection, and
    repair must be completed as soon as possible but no later than five
    calendar days after detection. If repair of a defect cannot be
    completed within five calendar days, then the hazardous waste
    must be removed from the container and the container must not be
    used to manage hazardous waste until the defect is repaired.
     
    e) Container Level 3 standards.
     
    1) A container using Container Level 3 controls is one of the following:
     
    A) A container that is vented directly through a closed-vent system to

    587
    Section 724.1101 Design and operating standards Operating Standards
     
    a) All containment buildings must comply with the following design and operating
    standards:
     
    1) The containment building must be completely enclosed with a floor, walls,
    and a roof to prevent exposure to the elements (e.g. precipitation, wind,
    run on) and to assure containment of managed wastes.
     
    2) The floor and containment walls of the unit, including the secondary
    containment system if required under subsection (b) of this Section, must
    be designed and constructed of materials of sufficient strength and
    thickness to support themselves, the waste contents, and any personnel
    and heavy equipment that operate within the unit, and to prevent failure
    due to pressure gradients, settlement, compression, or uplift, physical
    contact with the hazardous wastes to which they are exposed; climatic
    conditions; and the stresses of daily operation, including the movement of
    heavy equipment within the unit and contact of such equipment with
    containment walls. The unit must be designed so that it has sufficient
    structural strength to prevent collapse or other failure. All surfaces to be
    in contact with hazardous wastes must be chemically compatible with
    those wastes. The containment building shall must meet the structural
    integrity requirements established by professional organizations generally
    recognized by the industry such as the American Concrete Institute
    [(ACI]) and the American Society of Testing Materials [(ASTM]). If
    appropriate to the nature of the waste management operation to take place
    in the unit, an exception to the structural strength requirement may be
    made for light-weight doors and windows that meet these the following
    criteria:
     
    A) They provide an effective barrier against fugitive dust emissions
    under subsection (c)(1)(C) below of this Section; and
     
    B) The unit is designed and operated in a fashion that assures that
    wastes will not actually come in contact with these openings.
     
    3) Incompatible hazardous wastes or treatment reagents must not be placed
    in the unit or its secondary containment system if they could cause the unit
    or secondary containment system to leak, corrode, or otherwise fail.
     
    4) A containment building must have a primary barrier designed to withstand
    the movement of personnel, waste, and handling equipment in the unit
    during the operating life of the unit and appropriate for the physical and
    chemical characteristics of the waste to be managed.

     
     
    588
     
    b) For a containment building used to manage hazardous wastes containing free
    liquids or treated with free liquids (the presence of which is determined by the
    paint filter test, a visual examination, or other appropriate means), the owner or
    operator must include the following:
     
    1) A primary barrier designed and constructed of materials to prevent the
    migration of hazardous constituents into the barrier (e.g., a geomembrane
    covered by a concrete wear surface).
     
    2) A liquid collection and removal system to minimize the accumulation of
    liquid on the primary barrier of the containment building, as follows:
     
    A) The primary barrier must be sloped to drain liquids to the
    associated collection system; and
     
    B) Liquids and waste must be collected and removed to minimize
    hydraulic head on the containment system at the earliest
    practicable time.
     
    3) A secondary containment system including a secondary barrier designed
    and constructed to prevent migration of hazardous constituents into the
    barrier, and a leak detection system that is capable of detecting failure of
    the primary barrier and collecting accumulated hazardous wastes and
    liquids at the earliest practicable time.
     
    A) The requirements of the leak detection component of the secondary
    containment system are satisfied by installation of a system that is,
    at a minimum, as follows:
     
    i) Constructed
    It is constructed with a bottom slope of 1
    percent or more; and
     
    ii) Constructed
    It is constructed of a granular drainage
    material with a hydraulic conductivity of 1 x 10
    -2
    cm/sec or
    more and a thickness of 12 inches (30.5 cm) or more, or
    constructed of synthetic or geonet drainage materials with a
    transmissivity of 3 x 10
    -5
    m
    2
    /sec or more.
     
    B) If treatment is to be conducted in the building, an area in which
    such treatment will be conducted must be designed to prevent the
    release of liquids, wet materials, or liquid aerosols to other
    portions of the building.
     

     
     
    589
    C) The secondary containment system must be constructed of
    materials that are chemically resistant to the waste and liquids
    managed in the containment building and of sufficient strength and
    thickness to prevent collapse under the pressure exerted by
    overlaying materials and by any equipment used in the
    containment building. (Containment buildings can serve as
    secondary containment systems for tanks placed within the
    building under certain conditions. A containment building can
    serve as an external liner system for a tank, provided it meets the
    requirements of Section 724.193(d)(1). In addition, the
    containment building must meet the requirements of Section
    724.193(b) and Sections 724.193(c)(1) and (c)(2) to be an
    acceptable secondary containment system for a tank.)
     
    4) For existing units other than 90-day generator units, USEPA may delay
    the secondary containment requirement for up to two years, based on a
    demonstration by the owner or operator that the unit substantially meets
    the standards of this Subpart DD. In making this demonstration, the
    owner or operator must have done the following:
     
    A) Provide
    Provided written notice to USEPA of their request by
    November 16, 1992. This notification must describe have
    described the unit and its operating practices with specific
    reference to the performance of existing systems, and specific
    plans for retrofitting the unit with secondary containment;
     
    B) Respond
    Responded to any comments from USEPA on these
    plans within 30 days; and
     
    C) Fulfill
    Fulfilled the terms of the revised plans, if such plans are
    approved by USEPA.
     
    c) Owners or operators of all containment buildings must; do the following:
     
    1) Use controls and practice to ensure containment of the hazardous waste
    within the unit, and at a minimum:
     
    A) Maintain the primary barrier to be free of significant cracks, gaps,
    corrosion, or other deterioration that could cause hazardous waste
    to be release from the primary barrier;
     
    B) Maintain the level of the stored or treated hazardous waste within
    the containment walls of the unit so that the height of any
    containment wall is not exceeded;

     
     
    590
     
    C) Take measures to prevent the tracking of hazardous waste out of
    the unit by personnel or by equipment used in handling the waste.
    An area must be designated to decontaminate equipment and any
    rinsate must be collected and properly managed; and
     
    D) Take measures to control fugitive dust emissions such that any
    openings (doors, windows, vents, cracks, etc.) exhibit no visible
    emissions (see 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 22 - Visual
    Determination of Fugitive Emissions from Material Sources and
    Smoke Emissions from Flares). In addition, all associated
    particulate collection devices (e.g., fabric filter, electrostatic
    precipitator) must be operated and maintained with sound air
    pollution control practices (see 40 CFR 60 for guidance). This
    state of no visible emissions must be maintained effectively at all
    times during routine operating and maintenance conditions,
    including when vehicles and personnel are entering and exiting the
    unit.
     
    BOARD NOTE: At 40 CFR 264.1101(c)(1)(iv), as added as 57
    Fed. Reg. 37266 (Aug. 18, 1992), USEPA cites “40 CFR part 60,
    subpart 292.”. At 57 Fed. Reg. 37217, USEPA repeats this citation
    in the preamble discussion of the rules. No such provision exists
    in the Code of Federal Regulations. The Board has chosen to use
    the more general citation: “40 CFR 60.”.
     
    2) Obtain certification by a qualified registered professional engineer (PE)
    that the containment building design meets the requirements of
    subsections (a) through (c) of this Section. For units placed into operation
    prior to February 18, 1993, this certification must be placed in the
    facility’s operating record (on-site files for generators who are not
    formally required to have operating records) no later than 60 days after the
    date of initial operation of the unit. After February 18, 1993, PE
    certification will be required prior to operation of the unit.
     
    3) Throughout the active life of the containment building, if the owner or
    operator detects a condition that could lead to or has caused a release of
    hazardous waste, must repair the condition promptly. In addition,
    however the following is required:
     
    A) Upon detection of a condition that has caused to a release of
    hazardous wastes (e.g., upon detection of leakage from the primary
    barrier) the owner or operator must do the following:
     

     
     
    591
    i) Enter a record of the discovery in the facility operating
    record;
     
    ii) Immediately remove the portion of the containment
    building affected by the condition from service;
     
    iii) Determine what steps must be taken to repair the
    containment building, remove any leakage from the
    secondary collection system,and establish a schedule for
    accomplishing the cleanup and repairs; and
     
    iv) Within 7
    seven days after the discovery of the condition,
    notify the Agency in writing of the condition, and within 14
    working days, provide a written notice to the Agency with
    a description of the steps taken to repair the containment
    building, and the schedule for accomplishing the work.
     
    B) The Agency shall must review the information submitted, make a
    determination in accordance with Section 34 of the Act, regarding
    whether the containment building must be removed from service
    completely or partially until repairs and cleanup are complete, and
    notify the owner or operator of the determination and the
    underlying rationale in writing.
     
    C) Upon completing all repairs and cleanup the owner and operator
    must notify the Agency in writing and provide a verification,
    signed by a qualified, registered professional engineer, that the
    repairs and cleanup have been completed according to the written
    plan submitted in accordance with subsection (c)(3)(A)(iv) above
    of this Section.
     
    4) Inspect and record in the facility’s operating record, at least once every
    seven days, data gathered from monitoring equipment and leak detection
    equipment, as well as the containment building and the area immediately
    surrounding the containment building, to detect signs of releases of
    hazardous waste.
     
    d) For containment buildings that contain areas both with and without secondary
    containment, the owner or operator must do the following:
     
    1) Design and operate each area in accordance with the requirements
    enumerated in subsections (a) through (c) of this Section;
     

     
     
    592
    2) Take measures to prevent the release of liquids or wet materials into areas
    without secondary containment; and
     
    3) Maintain in the facility’s operating log a written description of the
    operating procedures used to maintain the integrity of areas without
    secondary containment.
     
    e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subpart DD the Agency shall must
    not require secondary containment for a permitted containment building where
    the owner operator demonstrates that the only free liquids in the unit are limited
    amounts of dust suppression liquids required to meet occupational health and
    safety requirements, and where containment of managed wastes and liquids can
    be assured without a secondary containment system.

    Section 724.1102 Closure and Post-closure Post-Closure Care
     
    a) At closure of a containment building, the owner or operator must remove or
    decontaminate all waste residues, contaminated containment system components
    (liners, etc.), contaminated subsoils, and structures and equipment contaminated
    with waste and leachate, and manage them as hazardous waste, unless 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 721.103(e) applies. The closure plan, closure activities, cost
    estimates for closure, and financial responsibility for containment buildings must
    meet all of the requirements specified in Subparts G and H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    739.Subparts G and H.
     
    b) If, after removing or decontaminating all residues and making all reasonable
    efforts to effect removal or decontamination of contaminated components,
    subsoils, structures, and equipment as required in subsection (a) above of this
    Section, the owner or operator finds that not all contaminated subsoils can be
    practicably removed or decontaminated, he must close the facility and perform
    post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure requirements
    that apply to landfills (35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.310). In addition, for the purposes
    of closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility, such a containment building
    is then considered to be a landfill, and the owner or operator must meet all the
    requirements for landfills specified in Subparts G and H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    739.Subparts G and H.

    Section 724.1201 Design and Operating Standards
     
    a) An owner or operator of a hazardous waste munitions and explosives storage unit
    shall must design and operate the unit with containment systems, controls, and
    monitoring that fulfill each of the following requirements:
     
    1) The owner or operator minimizes the potential for detonation or other
    means of release of hazardous waste, hazardous constituents, hazardous
    decomposition products, or contaminated run-off to the soil, ground water
    groundwater, surface water, and atmosphere;
     
    2) The owner or operator provides a primary barrier, which may be a
    container (including a shell) or tank, designed to contain the hazardous
    waste;
     
    3) For wastes stored outdoors, the owner or operator provides that the waste
    and containers will not be in standing precipitation;
     
    4) For liquid wastes, the owner or operator provides a secondary containment
    system that assures that any released liquids are contained and promptly
    detected and removed from the waste area or a vapor detection system that
    assures that any released liquids or vapors are promptly detected and an
    appropriate response taken (e.g., additional containment, such as
    overpacking or removal from the waste area); and
     
    5) The owner or operator provides monitoring and inspection procedures that
    assure the controls and containment systems are working as designed and
    that releases that may adversely impact human health or the environment
    are not escaping from the unit.
     
    b) Hazardous waste munitions and explosives stored under this Subpart EE may be
    stored in one of the following:
     
    1) Earth-covered magazines. The owner or operator of an earth-covered
    magazine shall must fulfill each of the following requirements:
     
    A) The magazine is constructed of waterproofed, reinforced concrete
    or structural steel arches, with steel doors that are kept closed
    when not being accessed;
     

     
     
    594
    B) The magazine is so designed and constructed that it fulfills each of
    the following requirements:
     
    i) The magazine is of sufficient strength and thickness to
    support the weight of any explosives or munitions stored
    and any equipment used in the unit;
     
    ii) The magazine provides working space for personnel and
    equipment in the unit; and

    to minimize the propagation of an explosion to adjacent units and
    to minimize other effects of any explosion.
     
    2) Above-ground magazines. Above-ground magazines must be located and
    designed so as to minimize the propagation of an explosion to adjacent
    units and to minimize other effects of any explosion.
     
    3) Outdoor or open storage areas. Outdoor or open storage areas must be
    located and designed so as to minimize the propagation of an explosion to
    adjacent units and to minimize other effects of any explosion.
     
    c) An owner or operator shall must store hazardous waste munitions and explosives
    in accordance with a standard operating procedure that specifies procedures
    which that ensure safety, security, and environmental protection. If these
    procedures serve the same purpose as the security and inspection requirements of
    Section 724.114, the preparedness and prevention procedures of Subpart C of this
    Part, and the contingency plan and emergency procedures requirements of
    Subpart D of this Part, then the standard operating procedure may be used to
    fulfill those requirements.
     
    d) An owner or operator shall must package hazardous waste munitions and
    explosives to ensure safety in handling and storage.
     
    e) An owner or operator shall must inventory hazardous waste munitions and
    explosives at least annually.
     
    f) An owner or operator shall must inspect and monitor hazardous waste munitions
    and explosives and their storage units as necessary to ensure explosives safety and
    to ensure that there is no migration of contaminants out of the unit.

    Section 724.1202 Closure and Post-Closure Care
     
    a) At closure of a magazine or unit which that stored hazardous waste under this
    Subpart EE, the owner or operator shall must remove or decontaminate all waste
    residues, contaminated containment system components, contaminated subsoils,
    and structures and equipment contaminated with waste and manage them as
    hazardous waste unless 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.103(d) applies. The closure plan,
    closure activities, cost estimates for closure, and financial responsibility for
    magazines or units must meet all of the requirements specified in Subparts G and
    H of this Part, except that the owner or operator may defer closure of the unit as
    long as it remains in service as a munitions or explosives magazine or storage
    unit.
     
    b) If, after removing or decontaminating all residues and making all reasonable
    efforts to effect removal or decontamination of contaminated components,
    subsoils, structures, and equipment as required in subsection (a) of this Section,
    the owner or operator finds that not all contaminated subsoils can be practicably
    removed or decontaminated, the owner or operator shall must close the facility
    and perform post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure
    requirements that apply to landfills (see Section 724.410).

    Section 724.Appendix A Recordkeeping Instructions
     
    The Board hereby incorporates by reference 40 CFR 264, Appendix I (1992), as amended at 59
    Fed. Reg. 13891 (Mar. 24, 1994) (2002). This incorporation includes no later amendments or
    editions.
     
    (Source: Amended at 27 Ill. Reg. ________, effective ____________________)
     
    Section 724.Appendix I Groundwater Monitoring List
     
    a) The regulatory requirements pertain only to the list of substances; the right hand
    columns (Methods and PQL) are given for informational purposes only. See also
    subsections (e) and (f) of this Section.
     
    b) Common names are those widely used in government regulations, scientific
    publications and commerce; synonyms exist for many chemicals.
     

     
     
    596
    c) “CAS RN” means “Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number.”. Where
    “total” is entered, all species in the groundwater that contain this element are
    included.
     
    d) CAS index names are those used in the 9th Cumulative index.
     
    e) “Suggested Methods” refer to analytical procedure numbers used in “Test
    Methods for Solid Waste,” SW-846, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 720.111. Analytical details can be found in “Test Methods,”, and in
    documentation on file with USEPA. The packed column gas chromatography
    methods 8010, 8020, 8030, 8040, 8060, 8080, 8090, 8110, 8120, 8140, 8150,
    8240, and 8250 were in Update IIB of SW-846. However, in Update III, USEPA
    replaced these methods with “capillary column gas chromatography (GC)
    methods,”, as the suggested methods.
     
    f) Practical Quantitation Limits (“PQLs”) are the lowest concentrations of analytes
    in groundwater that can be reliably determined within specified limits of precision
    and accuracy by the indicated methods under routine laboratory operating
    conditions. The POLs listed are generally stated to one significant figure.
    Caution: The PQL values in many cases are based only on a general estimate for
    the method and not on a determination for individual compounds; PQLs are not a
    part of the regulation.
     
    g) PCBs (CAS RN 1336-36-3). This category contains congener chemicals,
    including constituents Aroclor-1016 (CAS RN 12674-11-2), Aroclor-1221 (CAS
    RN 11104-28-2), Aroclor-1232 (CAS RN 11141-16-5), Aroclor-1242 (CAS RN
    53469-21-9), Aroclor-1248 (CAS RN 12672-29-6), Aroclor-1254 (CAS RN
    11097-69-1) and Aroclor-1260 (CAS RN 11096-82-5). The PQL shown is an
    average value for PCB congeners.
     
    h) PCDDs. This category includes congener chemicals, including tetrachloro-
    dibenzo-p-dioxins (see also 2,3,7,8-TCDD), pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and
    hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins. The PQL shown is an average value for PCDD
    congeners.
     
    i) PCDFs. This category contains congener chemicals, including tetrachloro-
    dibenzofurans, pentachlorodibenzofurans and hexachlorodibenzofurans. The
    PQL shown is an average for all PCDF congeners.

    SUBPART O: INCINERATORS
     
    Section 725.440 Applicability
     
    a) The regulations in this Subpart O apply to owners or operators of hazardous waste
    incinerators (as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110), except as 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 724.101 provides otherwise.
     
    b) Integration of the MACT standards.
     
    1) Except as provided by subsection subsections (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this
    Section, the standards of this Part no longer apply when an owner or
    operator demonstrates compliance with the maximum achievable control

     
     
    621
    technology (MACT) requirements of 40 CFR 63, Subpart EEE,
    incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, by conducting a
    comprehensive performance test and submitting to the Agency a
    Notification of Compliance, under 40 CFR 63.1207(j) and 63.1210(d)
    63.1210(b), documenting compliance with the requirements of 40 CFR 63,
    Subpart EEE.
     
    2) The MACT standards of 40 CFR 63, Subpart EEE do not replace the
    closure requirements of Section 724.451 or the applicable requirements of
    Subparts A through H, BB, and CC of this Part.
     
    3) Section 725.445, generally prohibiting burning of hazardous waste during
    startup and shutdown, remains in effect if the owner or operator elects to
    comply with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.320(b)(1)(A) to minimize emissions
    of toxic compounds from startup and shutdown.
     
    BOARD NOTE:: Operating conditions used to determine effective treatment of
    hazardous waste remain effective after the owner or operator demonstrates
    compliance with the standards of 40 CFR 63, subpart EEE. Sections 9.1 and 39.5
    of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/9.1 and 39.5] make the federal

    SUBPART H: HAZARDOUS WASTE BURNED IN BOILERS AND
    INDUSTRIAL FURNACES
     
    Section 726.200 Applicability
     
    a) The regulations of this Subpart H apply to hazardous waste burned or processed in a
    boiler or industrial furnace (BIF) (as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110)
    irrespective of the purpose of burning or processing, except as provided by
    subsections (b), (c), (d), (g), and (f) (h) of this Section. In this Subpart H, the term
    “burn” means burning for energy recovery or destruction or processing for materials
    recovery or as an ingredient. The emissions standards of Sections 726.204, 726.205,
    726.206, and 726.207 apply to facilities operating under interim status or under a
    RCRA permit, as specified in Sections 726.202 and 726.203.
     
    b) Integration of the MACT standards.
     
    1) Except as provided by subsection (b)(2) of this Section, the standards of
    this Part no longer apply when an affected source demonstrates

     
     
    626
    compliance with the maximum achievable control technology (MACT)
    requirements of 40 CFR 63, subpart EEE, incorporated by reference in 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, by conducting a comprehensive performance test
    and submitting to the Agency a Notification of Compliance, under 40 CFR
    63.1207(j) and 63.1210(d) 63.1210(b), documenting compliance with the
    requirements of 40 CFR 63, subpart EEE. Nevertheless, even after this
    demonstration of compliance with the MACT standards, RCRA permit
    conditions that were based on the standards of this Part will continue to be
    in effect until they are removed from the permit or the permit is terminated
    or revoked, unless the permit expressly provides otherwise.
     
    2) The following standards continue to apply:
     
    A) If an owner or operator elects to comply with 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    703.320(a)(1)(A) to minimize emissions of toxic compounds from
    startup, shutdown, and malfunction events, Section 726.202(e)(1),
    requiring operations in accordance with the operating requirements
    specified in the permit at all times that hazardous waste is in the
    unit, and Section 726.202(e)(2)(C), requiring compliance with the
    emission standards and operating requirements, during startup and
    shutdown if hazardous waste is in the combustion chamber, except
    for particular hazardous wastes. These provisions apply only
    during startup, shutdown, and malfunction events;
     
    AB) The closure requirements of Sections 726.202(e)(11) and
    726.203(l);
     
    BC) The standards for direct transfer of Section 726.211;
     
    CD) The standards for regulation of residues of Section 726.312; and
     
    DE) The applicable requirements of Subparts A through H, BB, and CC
    of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 and 725.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Sections 9.1 and 39.5 of the Environmental Protection Act [415
    ILCS 5/9.1 and 39.5] make the federal MACT standards directly applicable to
    entities in Illinois and authorize the Agency to issue permits based on the federal
    standards. In adopting this subsection (b), USEPA stated as follows (at 64 Fed
    Reg. 52828, 52975 (September 30,1999)):
     
    Under [the approach adopted by USEPA as a] final rule, MACT
    air emissions and related operating requirements are to be included
    in title V permits; RCRA permits will continue to be required for
    all other aspects of the combustion unit and the facility that are

     
     
    627
    governed by RCRA (e.g., corrective action, general facility
    standards, other combustor-specific concerns such as materials
    handling, risk-based emissions limits and operating requirements,
    as appropriate, and other hazardous waste management units).
     
    64 Fed Reg. 52828, 52975 (Sept. 30,1999).
     
    c) The following hazardous wastes and facilities are not subject to regulation under this
    Subpart H:
     
    1) Used oil burned for energy recovery that is also a hazardous waste solely
    because it exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste identified in Subpart C
    of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart C. Such used oil is subject to regulation
    under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 739, rather than this Subpart;
     
    2) Gas recovered from hazardous or solid waste landfills, when such gas is
    burned for energy recovery;
     
    3) Hazardous wastes that are exempt from regulation under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    721.104 and 721.106(a)(3)(C) and (a)(3)(D) and hazardous wastes that are
    subject to the special requirements for conditionally exempt small quantity
    generators under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.105; and
     
    4) Coke ovens, if the only hazardous waste burned is USEPA hazardous waste
    no. K087 decanter tank tar sludge from coking operations.
     
    d) Owners and operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces (including
    pyrometallurgical devices, such as cupolas, sintering machines, roasters, and foundry
    furnaces, but not including cement kilns, aggregate kilns, or halogen acid furnaces
    burning hazardous waste) that process hazardous waste solely for metal recovery are
    conditionally exempt from regulation under this Subpart H, except for Sections
    726.201 and 726.212.
     
    1) To be exempt from Sections 726.202 through 726.211, an owner or operator
    of a metal recovery furnace or mercury recovery furnace shall must comply
    with the following requirements, except that an owner or operator of a lead or
    a nickel-chromium recovery furnace or a metal recovery furnace that burns
    baghouse bags used to capture metallic dust emitted by steel manufacturing
    shall must comply with the requirements of subsection (d)(3) of this Section,
    and an owner or operator of a lead recovery furnace that is subject to
    regulation under the Secondary Lead Smelting NESHAP of 40 CFR 63,
    subpart X shall must comply with the requirements of subsection (h) of
    this Section:
     

     
     
    628
    A) Provide a one-time written notice to the Agency indicating the
    following:
     
    i) The owner or operator claims exemption under this
    subsection;
     
    ii) The hazardous waste is burned solely for metal recovery
    consistent with the provisions of subsection (c)(2) (d)(2) of
    this Section;
     
    iii) The hazardous waste contains recoverable levels of metals;
    and
     
    iv) The owner or operator will comply with the sampling and
    analysis and recordkeeping requirements of this subsection
    (d);
     
    B) Sample and analyze the hazardous waste and other feedstocks as
    necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection (d)
    under procedures specified by “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid
    Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,” SW-846, incorporated by
    reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, or alternative methods that
    meet or exceed the SW-846 method performance capabilities. If SW-
    846 does not prescribe a method for a particular determination, the
    owner or operator shall must use the best available method; and
     
    C) Maintain at the facility for at least three years records to document
    compliance with the provisions of this subsection (d), including limits
    on levels of toxic organic constituents and Btu value of the waste,
    and levels of recoverable metals in the hazardous waste compared to
    normal non-hazardous waste feedstocks.
     
    2) A hazardous waste meeting either of the following criteria is not processed
    solely for metal recovery:
     
    A) The hazardous waste has a total concentration of organic compounds
    listed in Appendix H to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Appendix H
    exceeding 500 ppm by weight, as fired, and so is considered to be
    burned for destruction. The concentration of organic compounds in a
    waste as-generated may be reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide
    treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending for
    dilution to meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited, and documentation
    that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in

     
     
    629
    the records required by subsection (c)(1)(C) (d)(1)(C) of this Section;
    or
     
    B) The hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or more, as-
    fired, and is so considered to be burned as fuel. The heating value of
    a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the 5,000 Btu/lb limit
    by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents.
    Blending for dilution to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited and
    documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted
    must be retained in the records required by subsection (c)(1)(C)
    (d)(1)(C) of this Section.
     
    3) To be exempt from Sections 726.202 through 726.211, an owner or operator
    of a lead, nickel-chromium, or mercury recovery furnace, except for an
    owner or operator of a lead recovery furnace that is subject to regulation
    under the Secondary Lead Smelting NESHAP of 40 CFR 63, subpart X, or
    a metal recovery furnace that burns baghouse bags used to capture metallic
    dusts emitted by steel manufacturing shall must provide a one-time written
    notice to the Agency identifying each hazardous waste burned and specifying
    whether the owner or operator claims an exemption for each waste under this
    subsection (d)(3) or subsection (c)(1) (d)(1) of this Section. The owner or
    operator shall must comply with the requirements of subsection (c)(1) (d)(1)
    of this Section for those wastes claimed to be exempt under that subsection
    and must comply with the following requirements for those wastes claimed
    to be exempt under this subsection (d)(3):
     
    A) The hazardous wastes listed in Appendices K, L, and M of this Part
    and baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel
    manufacturing are exempt from the requirements of subsection (c)(1)
    (d)(1) of this Section, provided that the following are true:
     
    i) A waste listed in Appendix K of this Part must contain
    recoverable levels of lead, a waste listed in Appendix L of
    this Part must contain recoverable levels of nickel or
    chromium, a waste listed in Appendix M of this Part must
    contain recoverable levels of mercury and contain less than
    500 ppm of Appendix H to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 261.Appendix
    H 721 organic constituents, and baghouse bags used to
    capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing must
    contain recoverable levels of metal;
     
    ii) The waste does not exhibit the toxicity characteristic of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 721.124 for an organic constituent;
     

     
     
    630
    iii) The waste is not a hazardous waste listed in Subpart D of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 721.Subpart D because it is listed for an
    organic constituent, as identified in Appendix G of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 721.Appendix G; and
     
    iv) The owner or operator certifies in the one-time notice that
    hazardous waste is burned under the provisions of subsection
    (c)(3) (d)(3) of this Section and that sampling and analysis
    will be conducted or other information will be obtained as
    necessary to ensure continued compliance with these
    requirements. Sampling and analysis must be conducted
    according to subsection (c)(1)(B) (d)(1)(B) of this Section,
    and records to document compliance with subsection (c)(3)
    (d)(3) of this Section must be kept for at least three years.
     
    B) The Agency may decide, on a case-by-case basis, that the toxic
    organic constituents in a material listed in Appendix K, Appendix L,
    or Appendix M of this Part that contains a total concentration of more
    than 500 ppm toxic organic compounds listed in Appendix H to 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 721.Appendix H may pose a hazard to human health
    and the environment when burned in a metal recovery furnace
    exempt from the requirements of this Subpart H. Under these
    circumstances, after adequate notice and opportunity for comment,
    the metal recovery furnace will become subject to the requirements of
    this Subpart H when burning that material. In making the hazard
    determination, the Agency shall must consider the following factors:
     
    i) The concentration and toxicity of organic constituents in the
    material;
     
    ii) The level of destruction of toxic organic constituents
    provided by the furnace; and
     
    iii) Whether the acceptable ambient levels established in
    Appendix D or E of this Part will be exceeded for any toxic
    organic compound that may be emitted based on dispersion
    modeling to predict the maximum annual average off-site
    ground level concentration.
     
    e) The standards for direct transfer operations under Section 726.211 apply only to
    facilities subject to the permit standards of Section 726.202 or the interim status
    standards of Section 726.203.
     

     
     
    631
    f) The management standards for residues under Section 726.212 apply to any BIF
    burning hazardous waste.
     
    g) Owners and operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces (including
    pyrometallurgical devices such as cupolas, sintering machines, roasters, and foundry
    furnaces) that process hazardous waste for recovery of economically significant
    amounts of the precious metals gold, silver, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium,
    rhodium, ruthenium, or any combination of these metals are conditionally exempt
    from regulation under this Subpart H, except for Section 726.212. To be exempt
    from Sections 726.202 through 726.211, an owner or operator shall must do the
    following:
     
    1) Provide a one-time written notice to the Agency indicating the following:
     
    A) The owner or operator claims exemption under this Section,
     
    B) The hazardous waste is burned for legitimate recovery of precious
    metal, and
     
    C) The owner or operator will comply with the sampling and analysis
    and recordkeeping requirements of this Section;
     
    2) Sample and analyze the hazardous waste, as necessary, to document that the
    waste is burned for recovery of economically significant amounts of precious
    metal, using procedures specified by Test Methods for Evaluating Solid
    Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, SW-846, incorporated by reference in
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, or alternative methods that meet or exceed the
    SW-846 method performance capabilities. If SW-846 does not prescribe a
    method for a particular determination, the owner or operator shall must use
    the best available method; and
     
    3) Maintain, at the facility for at least three years, records to document that all
    hazardous wastes burned are burned for recovery of economically significant
    amounts of precious metal.
     
    h) An owner or operator of a lead recovery furnace that processes hazardous waste
    for recovery of lead and which is subject to regulation under the Secondary Lead
    Smelting NESHAP of 40 CFR 63, subpart X, is conditionally exempt from
    regulation under this Subpart, except for Section 726.201. To become exempt, an
    owner or operator shall must provide a one-time notice to the Agency identifying
    each hazardous waste burned and specifying that the owner or operator claims an
    exemption under this subsection (h). The notice also must state that the waste
    burned has a total concentration of non-metal compounds listed in Appendix H to
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 721.Appendix H of less than 500 ppm by weight, as fired and as
