Mich. Admin. Code R. 299.4130 - Storage of solid waste in contained waste piles
Rule 130.
(1) The
storage of solid waste in a pile shall not constitute disposal if the pile has
a containment system that is designed, installed, and operated to prevent any
migration of accumulated liquids out of the system to the soil, groundwater , or
surface water at any time during the use of the system . To prevent the
migration of liquids, the system shall be in compliance with the provisions of
this rule and have 1 of the following:
(a) A
natural soil barrier which is in compliance with the provisions of R
299.4307(3)(a).
(b) A liner that is
in compliance with the provisions of R 299.4307(4).
(c) A vault or pad that is in compliance with
the provisions of subrule (5) of this rule.
(2) Waste pile containment systems shall be
constructed of, or lined with, materials that are compatible with the waste to
be placed in the system and shall have sufficient strength and thickness to
prevent failure due to all of the following:
(a) Pressure gradients, including static head
and external hydrological forces.
(b) Physical contact with the waste to which
the materials are exposed.
(c)
Climatic conditions.
(d) The stress
of daily operation, including stresses from nearby vehicular traffic.
(3) Waste pile containment systems
shall be placed on a foundation or base which is capable of providing support
to the secondary containment system and resistance to pressure gradients above
and below the system and which is capable of preventing structural failure due
to settlement, compression, or uplift.
(4) Waste pile containment systems shall be
sloped or otherwise designed or operated to drain and remove liquids that
result from leaks, spills, or precipitation. Spilled or leaked waste and
accumulated precipitation shall be removed from the secondary containment
system within 24 hours.
(5) Vaults
or pads that are used for waste pile containment shall be constructed of steel,
poured reinforced concrete, precast concrete, solid masonry, or an equivalent
material and shall be designed to do all of the following:
(a) Withstand the full loads to which they
will be subjected.
(b) Have water
stops in place at all joints, if any.
(c) Prevent the migration of the material out
of the containment system .
(d)
Prevent migration of moisture into the vault, if the vault is subject to
hydraulic pressure.
(e) Have walls
which will prevent runoff and runon and which are not more than 6 feet in
height above interior grade, unless normal access is provided.
(f) Have a stable foundation.
(6) The owner and operator of a
waste pile shall do all of the following:
(a)
Design, construct, operate, and maintain a runon control system that is capable
of preventing flow onto the pile during peak discharge from not less than a
24-hour, 25-year storm.
(b) Design,
construct, operate, and maintain a runoff management system to collect and
control, at a minimum, the water volume resulting from a 24-hour, 25-year
storm.
(c) Manage collection and
holding facilities associated with run-on and runoff control systems such that
design capacity of the system is maintained.
(7) Waste that is being accumulated
speculatively in piles shall be separated from general refuse and other
waste .
(8) The owner and operator
of a waste pile that could be subject to dispersal by wind shall cover or
otherwise manage the pile so wind dispersal is controlled.
(9) The owner and operator of a waste pile
shall manage runoff from the pile as leachate in accordance with the provisions
of R 299.4308.
(10) At closure, the
owner and operator of a waste pile shall remove or decontaminate all of the
following in accordance with the act and these rules:
(a) Waste residues.
(b) Contaminated liners.
(c) Subsoils.
(d) Structures.
(e) Equipment.
