of the Administrative Code the owner, operator, OR permittee or shall conduct
post-closure care activities at the scrap tire monofill facility, other than a

of the Administrative Code has been submitted for a scrap tire monofill
facility. Post-closure care activities for a scrap tire monofill facility shall
include, but are not limited to the following:
(1) Continuing operation and maintenance of
the leachate management system, the surface water management system, and any
other required monitoring system.
(2) Maintaining the integrity and
effectiveness of the cap system, including making repairs to the cap system as
necessary to correct the effects of settling, dead vegetation, subsidence,
ponding, erosion, leachate outbreaks, or other events, and preventing run-on
and run-off runoff from eroding or otherwise damaging the cap system.
(3) Repairing any leachate
outbreaks detected at the scrap tire monofill facility by doing the following:
(a) Contain and properly manage the leachate
at the scrap tire monofill facility.
(b) If necessary, collect, treat, and dispose
of the leachate, including, if necessary, following the contingency plan for
leachate storage and disposal prepared pursuant to rule
3745-27-75
of the administrative code.
(c)
Take action to minimize, control, or eliminate the conditions which contribute
to the production of leachate.
(4) Quarterly inspection of a scrap tire
monofill facility during each year of the post-closure care period and
submittal of a written summary to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office not
later than fifteen days after the inspection date detailing the results of the
inspection and a schedule of any actions to be taken to maintain compliance
with paragraphs (A)(1) (A)(2), and (A)(3) of this rule.
(5) Submitting a report to the appropriate
Ohio EPA district office and approved health department not later than the
first day of April of each year, which contains the following:
(a) A summary of the quantity of leachate
collected for treatment and disposal on a monthly basis during the year, and
the location of leachate treatment and/or disposal.
(b) Results of analytical testing of an
annual grab sample of leachate for the parameters specified in Appendix I of
rule
3745-27-79
of the Administrative Code. The grab sample shall be obtained from the leachate
management system.
(c) Results of
any monitoring required by any orders or authorizing documents, if the orders
or authorizing document(s) do not specify a schedule for submittal.
(d) The most recent updated post-closure cost
estimate adjusted for inflation and for any change in the post-closure cost
estimate required by rule
3745-27-16
of the administrative code.
(6) Records and reports generated by
paragraphs (A)(4) and (A)(5) of this rule are to be kept for the duration of
the post-closure care period at a location where the records and reports are
available for inspection by Ohio EPA or the approved health department during
normal working hours.
(B) Upon completion of the post-closure care
period, the owner, operator, OR permittee shall submit to the director written
certification that the scrap tire monofill facility has completed post-closure
activities in accordance with this rule and the "final closure/post-closure
plan." based on such factors as the inspections or reports required by
paragraphs (A)(4) and (A)(5) of this rule and whether human health or safety or
the environment is or will be protected, the director may either discontinue or
extend the post-closure care period. The certification shall be accompanied by
documentation which demonstrates that all post- closure care activities have
been completed. The certification shall be signed and sealed by A professional
engineer registered in ohio. The documentation shall include the following:
(1) A summary of changes to leachate quality
and quantity.
(2) A summary of any
on-going ground water assessment or corrective measures.
(3) An assessment of the integrity and
stability of the cap system if post-closure care activities cease.
[Comment: If the landfill shows an improvement to leachate quality, the quantity of leachate generated will not cause an outbreak or slope failure, that ground water monitoring is no longer needed, and that the cap system will maintain its integrity and stability if post-closure care activities cease, the director may release the owner, operator, or permittee from continuing post-closure care activities.]
(C) The health commissioner and the director,
or their authorized representatives, upon proper identification, may enter any
closed scrap tire monofill facility at any time during the post-closure care
period for the purpose of determining compliance with this rule.
