(A) The operator shall maintain the leachate collection system in working order at all times. The leachate collection system shall be visually inspected every week and the quantity of leachate in the collection tank recorded in a log. In addition, the leachate collection log shall reflect when leachate is removed, the volume removed, the disposal company employed and the ultimate method of disposal.
(B) Any damage to the leachate collection system shall be corrected within 48 hours of its occurrence. These events shall be recorded and reported to the Solid Waste Coordinator during the monthly status report.
(C) Any failures of the leachate collection system shall be recorded and reported to the Solid Waste Coordinator within 48 hours of its occurrence and noted in the monthly status report.
(D) Leachate shall be properly disposed at a wastewater treatment plant or through a licensed disposal facility.
(E) Leachate shall be pumped out of the collection tank and properly disposed when the tank reaches 90% capacity.
(F) Waste characterization (sampling analysis) of the leachate shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the leachate disposal facility. Results of all characterization analyses shall be sent to the Solid Waste Coordinator with the monthly report.
(G) Leachate shall be sampled every two months during operation of the CDDL and quarterly after the CDDL is capped. Monitoring shall continue two years following closure of the CDDL. All sampling and testing shall be conducted by an independent laboratory.
(H) Leachate shall be tested for the following parameters:
(1) pH;
(2) Total nitrogen (TN);
(3) Total organic carbon (TOC);
(4) Sulfates;
(5) Suspended solids;
(6) Volatile organic compounds (VOC);
(7) Semivolatile organic compounds (SVOC);
(8) Priority pollutant and sludge metals; and
(9) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
(I) Monitoring requirements may be relaxed at the discretion of the Solid Waste Coordinator whereby the frequency of testing, the duration of sampling or the tested parameters may be reduced if it can be demonstrated by the operator that human health and safety and environmental protection are not compromised.
(J) The requirement for leachate monitoring shall be waived if a Cabinet approved groundwater monitoring plan is implemented.
