Liners and Leak Detection Systems for Hazardous Waste Land Disposal Units
On January 29, 1992, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adopted a final rule which modifies the existing regulations concerning liner and leachate collection and removal systems for hazardous waste surface impoundments, landfills, and waste piles. The rule also requires owners and operators of hazardous waste surface impoundments, landfills and waste piles to install and operate leak detection systems at such time as these units are added, laterally expanded, or replaced. These amendments provide state equivalency with the regulatory requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency.
This Basis and Purpose incorporates by reference the preamble language for the Environmental Protection Agency regulations published in the Federal Register at 57 FR 3462-3496, January 29, 1992.
