A miscellaneous unit shall be located, designed, constructed,
operated, maintained, and closed in a manner that will ensure protection of
human health and the environment. Permits for miscellaneous units are to
contain such terms and provisions as necessary to protect human health and the
environment, including, but not limited to, as appropriate, design and
operating requirements, detection and monitoring requirements, and requirements
for responses to releases of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents from the
unit. Permit terms and provisions shall include those requirements of Sections
R315-264-170
through 179, 190 through 200, 220 through 232, 250 through 259, 270 through
283, 300 through 317, 340 through 351, 1030 through 1036, 1050 through 1065,
1080 through 1090, Rule 270, Subsection
R307-214-2(39),
and Rule R317-7 that are appropriate for the miscellaneous unit being
permitted. Protection of human health and the environment includes, but is not
limited to:
(a) Prevention of any
releases that may have adverse effects on human health or the environment due
to migration of waste constituents in the ground water or subsurface
environment, considering:
(1) The volume and
physical and chemical characteristics of the waste in the unit, including its
potential for migration through soil, liners, or other containing structures;
(2) The hydrologic and geologic
characteristics of the unit and the surrounding area;
(3) The existing quality of ground water,
including other sources of contamination and their cumulative impact on the
ground water;
(4) The quantity and
direction of ground-water flow;
(5) The proximity to and withdrawal rates of
current and potential ground-water users;
(6) The patterns of land use in the region;
(7) The potential for deposition
or migration of waste constituents into subsurface physical structures, and
into the root zone of food-chain crops and other vegetation;
(8) The potential for health risks caused by
human exposure to waste constituents; and
(9) The potential for damage to domestic
animals, wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical structures caused by
exposure to waste constituents;
(b) Prevention of any releases that may have
adverse effects on human health or the environment due to migration of waste
constituents in surface water, or wetlands or on the soil surface considering:
(1) The volume and physical and chemical
characteristics of the waste in the unit;
(2) The effectiveness and reliability of
containing, confining, and collecting systems and structures in preventing
migration;
(3) The hydrologic
characteristics of the unit and the surrounding area, including the topography
of the land around the unit;
(4)
The patterns of precipitation in the region;
(5) The quantity, quality, and direction of
ground-water flow;
(6) The
proximity of the unit to surface waters;
(7) The current and potential uses of nearby
surface waters and any water quality standards established for those surface
waters;
(8) The existing quality
of surface waters and surface soils, including other sources of contamination
and their cumulative impact on surface waters and surface soils;
(9) The patterns of land use in the region;
(10) The potential for health
risks caused by human exposure to waste constituents; and
(11) The potential for damage to domestic
animals, wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical structures caused by
exposure to waste constituents.
(c) Prevention of any release that may have
adverse effects on human health or the environment due to migration of waste
constituents in the air, considering:
(1) The
volume and physical and chemical characteristics of the waste in the unit,
including its potential for the emission and dispersal of gases, aerosols and
particulates;
(2) The
effectiveness and reliability of systems and structures to reduce or prevent
emissions of hazardous constituents to the air;
(3) The operating characteristics of the
unit;
(4) The atmospheric,
meteorologic, and topographic characteristics of the unit and the surrounding
area;
(5) The existing quality of
the air, including other sources of contamination and their cumulative impact
on the air;
(6) The potential for
health risks caused by human exposure to waste constituents; and
(7) The potential for damage to domestic
animals, wildlife, crops, vegetation, and physical structures caused by
exposure to waste constituents.
