Sec. 270.21  Specific part B information requirements for landfills.

    Except as otherwise provided in Sec. 264.1, owners and operators of 
facilities that dispose of hazardous waste in landfills must provide the 
following additional information:
    (a) A list of the hazardous wastes placed or to be placed in each 
landfill or landfill cell;
    (b) Detailed plans and an engineering report describing how the 
landfill is designed and is or will be constructed, operated, and 
maintained to meet the requirements of Sec. Sec. 264.19, 264.301, 
264.302, and 264.303 of this chapter, addressing the following items:
    (1)(i) The liner system (except for an existing portion of a 
landfill), if the landfill must meet the requirements of Sec. 
264.301(a) of this chapter. If an exemption from the requirement for a 
liner is sought as provided by Sec. 264.301(b) of this chapter, submit 
detailed plans, and engineering and hydrogeological reports, as 
appropriate, describing alternate designs and operating practices that 
will, in conjunction with location aspects, prevent the migration of any 
hazardous constituents into the ground water or surface water at any 
future time;
    (ii) The double liner and leak (leachate) detection, collection, and 
removal system, if the landfill must meet the requirements of Sec. 
264.301(c) of this chapter. If an exemption from the requirements for 
double liners and a leak detection, collection, and removal system or 
alternative design is sought as provided by Sec. 264.301(d), (e), or 
(f) of this chapter, submit appropriate information;

    (iii) If the leak detection system is located in a saturated zone, 
submit detailed plans and an engineering report explaining the leak 
detection system design and operation, and the location of the saturated 
zone in relation to the leak detection system;
    (iv) The construction quality assurance (CQA) plan if required under 
Sec. 264.19 of this chapter;
    (v) Proposed action leakage rate, with rationale, if required under 
Sec. 264.302 of this chapter, and response action plan, if required 
under Sec. 264.303 of this chapter;
    (2) Control of run-on;
    (3) Control of run-off;
    (4) Management of collection and holding facilities associated with 
run-on and run-off control systems; and
    (5) Control of wind dispersal of particulate matter, where 
applicable;
    (c) A description of how each landfill, including the double liner 
system, leachate collection and removal system, leak detection system, 
cover system, and appurtenances for control of run-on and run-off, will 
be inspected in order to meet the requirements of Sec. 264.303(a), (b), 
and (c) of this chapter. This information must be included in the 
inspection plan submitted under Sec. 270.14(b)(5);
    (d) A description of how each landfill, including the liner and 
cover systems, will be inspected in order to meet the requirements of 
Sec. 264.303 (a) and (b). This information should be included in the 
inspection plan submitted under Sec. 270.14(b)(5).
    (e) Detailed plans and an engineering report describing the final 
cover which will be applied to each landfill or landfill cell at closure 
in accordance with Sec. 264.310(a), and a description of how each 
landfill will be maintained and monitored after closure in accordance 
with Sec. 264.310(b). This information should be included in the 
closure and post-closure plans submitted under Sec. 270.14(b)(13).
    (f) If ignitable or reactive wastes will be landfilled, an 
explanation of how the standards of Sec. 264.312 will be complied with;
    (g) If incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials 
will be landfilled, an explanation of how Sec. 264.313 will be complied 
with;
    (h) If bulk or non-containerized liquid waste or wastes containing 
free liquids is to be landfilled prior to May 8, 1985, an explanation of 
how the requirements of Sec. 264.314(a) will be complied with;
    (i) If containers of hazardous waste are to be landfilled, an 
explanation of how the requirements of Sec. 264.315 or Sec. 264.316, 
as applicable, will be complied with.
    (j) A waste management plan for EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. FO20, FO21, 
FO22, FO23, FO26, and FO27 describing how a landfill is or will be 
designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to meet the requirements 
of Sec. 264.317. This submission must address the following items as 
specified in Sec. 264.317:
    (1) The volume, physical, and chemical characteristics of the 
wastes, including their potential to migrate through soil or to 
volatilize or escape into the atmosphere;
    (2) The attenuative properties of underlying and surrounding soils 
or other materials;
    (3) The mobilizing properties of other materials co-disposed with 
these wastes; and
    (4) The effectiveness of additional treatment, design, or monitoring 
techniques.
