BOARD NOTE: The Board has codified 40 CFR 270.14(b)(11)(iii) through (b)(11)(v) as Section 703.184(c) through (e) to comport with Illinois Administrative Code codification requirements. The Board did not include an equivalent to 40 CFR 270.14(b)(11)(i) and (b)(11)(ii), relating to certain seismic zones not located within Illinois.

l) An outline of both the introductory and continuing training programs by the owner or operator to prepare persons to operate or maintain the HWM facility in a safe manner, as required to demonstrate compliance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.116. A brief description of how training will be designed to meet actual job tasks in accordance with requirements in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.116(a)(3);

m) A copy of the closure plan and, where applicable, the post-closure plan required by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.212, 724.218, and 724.297.

n) For hazardous waste disposal units that have been closed, documentation that notices required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.219 have been filed;

o) The most recent closure cost estimate for the facility, prepared in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.242, and a copy of the documentation required to demonstrate financial assurance under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.243. For a new facility, a copy of the required documentation may be submitted 60 days prior to the initial receipt of hazardous wastes, if it is later than the submission of the Part B permit application;

p) Where applicable, the most recent post-closure cost estimate for the facility, prepared in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.244, plus a copy of the documentation required to demonstrate financial assurance under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.245. For a new facility, a copy of the required documentation may be submitted 60 days prior to the initial receipt of hazardous wastes, if it is later than the submission of the Part B permit application;

r) This subsection corresponds with 40 CFR 270.14(b)(18), pertaining to state financial mechanisms that do not apply in Illinois. This statement maintains structural parity with the federal regulations;

s) A topographic map showing 305 meters (1,000 feet) around the facility at a scale of 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) equal to not more than 61.0 meters (200 feet). Contours must be shown on the map. The contour interval must be sufficient to clearly show the pattern of surface water flow near and from each operational unit of the facility. For example, contours with an interval of 1.5 meters (5 feet), if relief is greater than 6.1 meters (20 feet), or an interval of 0.6 meters (2 feet), if relief is less than 6.1 meters (20 feet). An owner or operator of an HWM facility located in a mountainous area must use larger contour intervals to adequately show topographic profiles of facilities. The map must clearly show the following:

1) Map scale and date;

2) 100-year floodplain area;

3) Surface waters including intermittent streams;

4) Surrounding land uses (e.g., residential, commercial, agricultural, recreational, etc.);

5) A wind rose (i.e., prevailing windspeed and direction);

6) Orientation of the map (north arrow);

7) Legal boundaries of the HWM facility site;

8) Access control (e.g., fences, gates, etc.);

9) Injection and withdrawal wells both on-site and off-site;

10) Buildings; treatment, storage, or disposal operations; or other structures (e.g., recreation areas, run-off control systems, access and internal roads, storm, sanitary and process sewage systems, loading and unloading areas, fire control facilities, etc.);

11) Barriers for drainage or flood control; and

12) Location of operational units within the HWM facility site, where hazardous waste is (or will be) treated, stored, or disposed of (include equipment cleanup areas);

BOARD NOTE: For large HWM facilities, the Agency must allow the use of other scales on a case-by-case basis.

t) Applicants must submit such information as the Agency determines is necessary for it to determine whether to issue a permit and what conditions to impose in any permit issued;

u) For land disposal facilities, if a case-by-case extension has been approved under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.105 or if a petition has been approved under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.106, a copy of the notice of approval of the extension or of approval of the petition is required; and

v) A summary of the pre-application meeting, along with a list of attendees and their addresses, and copies of any written comments or materials submitted at the meeting, as required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.191(c).
