(A)
Upon completion of construction of an engineered component
required by
specified in rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code, the owner or operator shall submit to the licensing
authority
, a construction certification
report
. The construction certification report shall
certify
certifying that
the construction complies with the construction
and performance specifications contained in rules
3745-400-07 and
3745-400-10 of the
Administrative Code.
[Comment: Certification follows the facility design plan of
rule 3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code, in that there are certification reports to certify the
construction of engineered components of the soil liner, leachate collection
system, and final cap system, and a certification report to certify the ground
water monitoring well system. In addition, a final certification report
is required to certify
certifies final closure in accordance with rule
3745-400-12 of the
Administrative Code.]
(1)
Certification of installation of ground water monitoring wells, as
required by
specified in paragraph (A) of rule
3745-400-10 of the
Administrative Code, shall be submitted to the licensing authority prior to or
with the annual ground water report
required
by
specified in paragraph (B) of rule
3745-400-10 of the
Administrative Code if the ground water monitoring report identifies new ground
water monitoring wells.
[Comment: The licensing authority is
does not
required to approve the certification
report. However for new areas which
that are to be licensed for disposal, disposal cannot
take place until the monitoring wells necessary to monitor the active licensed
disposal area are installed and the first ground water sampling has occurred,
as indicated in paragraph (D)(4) of rule
3745-400-11 of the
Administrative Code.]
(2)
Certification of construction of the engineered components shall be submitted
to the licensing authority not later than sixty days after completion of
construction. Engineered components
requiring
needing
construction certification are those components contained in the facility
construction design plan
required by
specified in paragraph (F) of rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code and any barrier layer designed and shown in the license
application for a facility in accordance with rule
3745-37-02
3745-501-10
of the Administrative Code.
[Comment: The licensing authority is
does not
required to approve the certification
report. However for areas which
that are to be licensed for disposal, disposal cannot
take place until the report is received and the licensing authority inspects
the area as indicated in paragraph (D)(3) of rule
3745-400-11 of the
Administrative Code. The leachate collection system, when constructed in phases
ahead of the working face, requires
needs certification and inspection for each
construction phase.]
(3)
Certification that the engineered components of the final cap system,
required by
pursuant
to paragraph (G) of rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code and contained in the final cap system design plan, have
been constructed shall be submitted to the licensing authority
within
not later
than sixty days
of
after completion of construction. The owner or
operator may construct portions of the final cap system as active licensed
disposal areas are brought to final grade. The licensing authority shall review
the certification report and either approve or deny the construction.
[Comment: The release of final closure financial assurance by
the licensing authority upon construction certification of engineered
components of the final cap system is addressed in paragraph
(A)(6)
(A)(1)(f)(ii) of rule
3745-400-13 of the
Administrative Code.]
(B) Except for the construction certification
report on the installation of ground water monitoring wells
, which shall be certified by a qualified ground water
scientist, each construction certification report shall be signed and sealed by
a professional engineer registered in Ohio and
shall include the following:
(1) Identification of the constructed
engineered component for certification. Plan sheets showing the appropriate
views and cross-sections from the facility design plan shall be used to prepare
record drawings of what and how the engineered component was constructed and
shall include the testing locations.
Details of the engineered component shall be redrawn. Record drawings of a
barrier layer shall consist of a plan drawing and cross sections and
shall utilize
use the drawing formats described in paragraphs (F)(3)
and (F)(4) of rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code.
(2) Sampling
and testing procedures utilized
used to verify the construction of the engineered
components.
(3) Parameters and
testing locations.
(4) Results of
all testing required by
specified in paragraph (C) of this rule.
(5) Identification of any deviations from the
specifications contained in rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code. Any significant differences between the test results shall
be justified by the owner or operator.
[Comment: A significant change to a specification of rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code is a modification as described in paragraph (A) of rule
3745-400-15 of the
Administrative Code.]
(6)
The management structure and the experience and training of the testing
personnel.
(7)
The
For the
construction certification of the survey marks
,
shall require a certified statement
prepared by a professional surveyor that the requirements of paragraph
(F)(3)(i) of rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code have been met.
(C) The owner or operator shall verify the
following at the frequencies or in the manner specified in this paragraph:
(1) Prior to use in construction, soil
materials used for the following
shall
be
are tested for recompacted
permeability at construction specifications at a frequency of least once for
every ten thousand cubic yards of soil to show that the materials are suitable
for use:
(a) Recompacted soil liner.
(b) Any soil barrier layer.
(c) Recompacted soil in the standard cap
system for soils that meet only the specification in paragraph
(G)(2)(a)(i)(d)(ii) of rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code, pertaining to a maximum permeability of 1 x
10
-6 cm/sec for each lift of the recompacted
soil.
(2) The
permeability of each lift of the recompacted soil liner, soil barrier layer, or
added geologic material shall be
are verified on undisturbed samples at least once per
every two acres. Any penetrations shall be repaired using methods acceptable to
the licensing authority.
(3) Prior
to being used in the leachate collection system, the proposed drainage medium
shall be
is
tested for permeability at least once for every five thousand cubic yards of
material.
(4) Prior to use in the
construction of the standard cap system, the soil materials to be recompacted
shall be
are
classified by texture according to paragraph (G)(2)(a)(i) of rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code at least once for every five thousand cubic yards of soil
to demonstrate the materials are suitable for use.
(5) After construction, the compacted density
of the recompacted soil of the standard cap system and the subbase of any soil
barrier layer
shall meet at least one of
the following:
(a) For soils that meet the
specification in paragraph (G)(2)(a)(i)(d)(i) of rule
3745-400-07 of the
Administrative Code of at least fifty per cent of the soil particles, by
weight, passing the number two hundred sieve, documentation of proof rolling

demonstrate at a frequency of at least five times per acre per lift the
achievement of either at least ninety five per cent of the maximum standard
Proctor density or at least ninety per cent of the maximum modified Proctor
density.
(6) If the
standard or modified Proctor density is to be used as the standard for
recompaction as
described in paragraph (C)(5)(b)
of this rule, the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content
shall be
