Not restrict the flow of liquid to the leachate
collection and management system.
(d)
Not contain fines
or small particles that can clog the leachate collection
system.
(e)

collection layer such that a minimum distance of five feet is created between
the liner and general waste placement.
(2)
The owner or
operator shall place into the operating record documentation verifying the
placement of the select waste layer that includes the following:
(a)
The date on which
the select waste layer was placed.
(b)

The thickness of
the select waste layer.
(d)
The source and composition of the material used for the
select waste layer.
(D)
The owner or
operator shall ensure that waste acceptance and placement is in accordance with
the following:
(1)
Prior to placement in the working face, deposit waste
that is burning or is at a temperature likely to cause fire in a separate
location that is a sufficient distance from the working face and other
combustible material to prevent fires from spreading and ensure the fire is
immediately extinguished or the temperature of the waste is immediately
lowered.
(2)
Unloading of waste is conducted only at the working
face and is confined to the smallest practical area, except as follows:
(a)
When the owner or
operator is using areas designated in accordance with paragraph (D) of rule

Ensure that all waste admitted to the facility is
deposited at the working face, spread in layers not more than two feet thick,
and compacted to the smallest practical volume using a waste compactor prior to
placement of the next lift or daily cover, except as follows:
(a)
When the owner or
operator is using areas designated in accordance with paragraph (D) of rule
3745-535-600 of the
Administrative Code.

specifications of paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(5) of this rule are

(7)
If a waste compactor at the working face becomes
inoperable, repair or replace the waste compactor as soon as practicable and do
the following:
(a)
Note in the daily log the status of the waste
compactor.
(b)
If all waste compactors are inoperable for more than
seven consecutive days, immediately notify Ohio EPA and the approved health
district that all waste compactors are inoperable.
(c)
If all waste
compactors are inoperable, spread waste deposited at the working face in layers
not more than one foot thick and compress each layer to the smallest practical
volume using a dozer prior to placement of the next lift or daily cover.
