Section 11-58.1-42 - Remediation facilities(a) Applicability. This subchapter regulates the construction and operation of off-site remedial facilities. It will include, but not be limited to facilities utilizing the physical, chemical, and biological conversion processes in the recovery of waste materials. Each process will use the best practicable technology and must be in the best interest of the public. Facilities developed for a one-time operation are exempt from these regulations.(b) Permit requirements. (1) Site analysis. A site plan and analysis shall be submitted with the application. The analysis shall include a brief description of the area, the location of any equipment and machinery, surrounding land uses, public access, and where determined by the director, a description of mitigative measures taken to reduce the impact of facility upon neighboring properties.(2) Design requirements. (A) Unless specified by the director, the area on which the material is to be placed shall be impermeable to prevent subsurface soil and potential ground water contamination with a system to collect leachate and runoff. If a liner is used it should be of sufficient thickness and strength to withstand stresses imposed by vehicles and the material itself.(B) Equipment. A description of the overall operation and a functional description of all processing equipment to be used in the remediation process and the personnel trained to operate them.(C) Adequate drainage. Adequate drainage to prevent standing water and to control "run-on" and "run-off" of rainwater shall be provided.(D) Nuisance, health, and safety control. Design methods to control litter, insects, odors, and vectors. Develop a fire plan to prevent and minimize fire hazards. The facility shall maintain a neat and orderly appearance and must be screened and buffered to minimize nuisances to neighboring properties.(3) Operation plan. The operation plan shall include a description of the process and the equipment necessary, by-products produced, and the means for their disposal.(4) Closure plan. As part of the application for a permit, the owner and/or operator shall develop a closure and post-closure plan to ensure no adverse environmental impacts.(c) Reporting requirement. At a minimum, an annual report shall be submitted to the director not later than thirty days after June 30 of each year. The report shall detail the volume or weight in tons of the incoming material and the material recovered from the process.Haw. Code R. § 11-58.1-42
