to standard engineering scale. Any necessary details or sections must
be included. As a minimum, the plan must show property boundaries,
fencing, internal roadways, tipping area, processing area, post-processing
area, facility office, sanitary facilities, potable water facilities,
storage areas, etc. If phasing is proposed for the facility, a separate
facility plan for each phase is required.
(E) Process description. The process description shall
be composed of a descriptive narrative along with a process diagram.
The process description shall include all of the following.
(i) Feedstock identification. The applicant shall prepare
a list of the materials intended for processing along with the anticipated
volume to be processed. This section shall also contain an estimate
of the daily quantity of material to be processed at the facility
along with a description of the proposed process of screening for
unauthorized materials.
(ii) Tipping process. Indicate what happens to the
feedstock material from the point it enters the gate. Indicate how
the material is handled in the tipping area, how long it remains in
the tipping area, what equipment is used, how the material is evacuated
from the tipping area, at what interval the tipping area is cleaned,
and the process used to clean the tipping area.
(iii) Process. Indicate what happens to the material
as it leaves the tipping area. Indicate how the material is incorporated
into the process and what process or processes are used until it goes
to the post-processing area. The narrative shall include water addition,
processing rates, equipment, energy and mass balance calculations,
and process monitoring method.
(iv) Post-processing. Provide a complete narrative
on the post-processing, including post-processing times, identification
and segregation of product, storage of product, quality assurance,
and quality control.
(v) Product distribution. Provide a complete narrative
on product distribution to include items such as: end product quantities,
qualities, intended use, packaging, labeling, loading, and tracking
bulk material.
(vi) Process diagram. Present a process diagram that
displays graphically the narrative generated in response to clauses
(i) - (v) of this subparagraph.
(7) Site operating plan. This document is to provide
guidance from the design engineer to site management and operating
personnel in sufficient detail to enable them to conduct day-to-day
operations in a manner consistent with the engineer's design. As a
minimum, the site operating plan shall include specific guidance or
instructions on all of the following:
(A) the minimum number of personnel and their functions
to be provided by the site operator in order to have adequate capability
to conduct the operation in conformance with the design and operational
standards;
(B) the minimum number and operational capacity of
each type of equipment to be provided by the site operator in order
to have adequate capability to conduct the operation in conformance
with the design and operational standards;
(C) security, site access control, traffic control,
and safety;
(D) control of dumping within designated areas and
screening for unprocessable or unauthorized material;
(E) fire prevention and control plan that shall comply
with provisions of the local fire code, provision for fire-fighting
equipment, and special training requirements for fire-fighting personnel;
(F) control of windblown material;
(G) vector control;
(H) quality assurance and quality control. As a minimum,
the applicant shall provide testing and assurance in accordance with
the provisions of §332.71 of this title (relating to Sampling
and Analysis Requirements for Final Product);
(I) control of airborne emissions;
(J) minimizing odors;
(K) equipment failures and alternative disposal and
storage plans in the event of equipment failure; and
(L) a description of the intended final use of materials.
(8) Legal description of the facility. The applicant
shall submit an official metes and bounds description and plat of
the proposed facility. The description and plat shall be prepared
and sealed by a registered surveyor.
(9) Financial assurance. The applicant shall prepare
a closure plan acceptable to the executive director and provide evidence
of financial assurance to the commission for the cost of closure.
The closure plan, at a minimum, shall include evacuation of all material
on site (feedstock, in process, and processed) to an authorized facility
and disinfection of all leachate handling facilities, tipping area,
processing area, and post-processing area and shall be based on the
worst case closure scenario for the facility, including the assumption
that all storage and processing areas are filled to capacity. Financial
assurance mechanisms must be established and maintained in accordance
with Chapter 37, Subchapter J of this title (relating to Financial
Assurance for Recycling Facilities). These mechanisms shall be prepared
on forms approved by the executive director and shall be submitted
to the commission 60 days prior to the receiving of any materials
for processing, or within 60 days of a permit being issued for facilities
operating under an existing registration.
(10) Source-separated recycling and household hazardous
waste collection. The applicant shall submit a plan to comply with
the requirements of Subchapters E and F of this chapter (relating
to Source-Separated Recycling; and Household Hazardous Waste Collection).
(11) Landowner list. The applicant shall include a
list of landowners, residents, and businesses within 1/2 mile of the
facility boundaries along with an appropriately scaled map locating
property owned by the landowners.
