Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 506.310 - Additional Design and Construction Standards for Construction in an Area with Shallow Aquifer Material
a) In
addition to the other requirements of this Subpart, if aquifer material is
located above or within 5 feet of the lowest point of the proposed livestock
waste handling facility as determined under Section
506.302, the design and
construction of the facility must comply with this Section.
b) Livestock waste handling facility
components constructed of concrete must ensure that concrete footings extend
below the maximum frost depth.
c)
Livestock waste handling facility components constructed of earthen materials
must include the installation of an earthen or synthetic liner.
1) Earthen liners must meet the following
requirements:
A) The liner must consist of
in-situ soil, borrowed clay, or clay/bentonite mixtures;
B) The minimum liner thickness must be 2
feet;
C) The liner must be
constructed in lifts not to exceed 6 inches in compacted thickness;
and
D) The construction and
compaction of the liner must be carried out to reduce void spaces and allow the
liner to support the loadings imposed by the waste disposal operation without
settling.
2) Synthetic
liners must meet the design and construction requirements in Section
506.308 and must have a minimum
thickness of 40 mil.
3) The design,
construction, and installation of the liner required under this Section must be
conducted under the direction of a Licensed Professional Engineer. Upon
completion of construction or installation of the liner, the supervising
Licensed Professional Engineer must certify that the liner meets all the
applicable requirements of this Section. Such certification must include all
supporting justification and data.
4) The owner or operator of the livestock
waste handling facility must submit to the Department a copy of the Licensed
Professional Engineer's liner certification before placing the livestock waste
handling facility in service in compliance with 8 Ill. Adm. Code
900.506(a).
d) The owner or operator of the
livestock waste handling facility may, upon written request and with written
approval from the Department, modify or exceed these standards to meet site
specific objectives. The owner or operator must demonstrate that such
modification will be at least as protective of the groundwater, the surface
water, and the structural integrity of the livestock waste handling facility as
the requirements of this Part.
