1) Each load inspection must include:

A) Before acceptance, an inspection of each load using an elevated structure, a designated ground-level inspection area, or another acceptable method specified in a permit issued under this Part.

B) Maintaining documentation reflecting the results of each load inspection, including the date the load was received, the amount of GCDD, the name of the transporter, the name of the generator, the location of the site of origin of the material, whether the load was accepted or rejected, and the name of the facility inspector.

2) Loads of material other than GCDD delivered to the GCDD recovery facility must be rejected. The driver of the rejected load must be presented with a written notice that includes the following:

A) The date of the attempted delivery;

3) If material other than GCDD is discovered to have been accepted at the GCDD recovery facility, the material must be removed in compliance with this Subpart.

b) Before any mechanical sorting, separating, grinding, or other processing, all drywall and other wallboard containing gypsum or sulfur must be removed from the GCDD received to the extent practicable. The drywall and other wallboard containing gypsum or sulfur must be stored in closed, structurally sound, non-leaking containers that are in good condition (e.g., no severe rusting, apparent structural defects, or deterioration), prevent the infiltration of precipitation, and prevent releases during storage, handling, and transportation.

1) If being recycled, the drywall and other wallboard containing gypsum or sulfur must be transported off-site within 45 calendar days after receipt.

2) If not being recycled, the drywall and other wallboard containing gypsum or sulfur must be transported off-site within 72 hours after receipt.

c) Acceptable Materials

1) Within 48 hours after receipt of the GCDD at the GCDD recovery facility, the owner or operator must sort the GCDD to separate the recyclable GCDD and wood being recovered for use as fuel from all other GCDD.

2) All putrescible recyclable GCDD and all wood recovered for use as fuel that is separated from other GCDD must be transported off-site within 45 calendar days after receipt.

3) All non-putrescible recyclable GCDD that is separated from other GCDD must be transported off-site within six months after receipt.

4) All GCDD other than the separated recyclable GCDD and wood being recovered for use as fuel must be stored in containers meeting the requirements of subsection (b) and, within 72 hours after receipt, must be transported off-site for disposal.

5) CCDD and uncontaminated soil that is separated from GCDD received at the GCDD recovery facility may be transported off-site for use complying with the Act and rules adopted under the Act.

d) Unacceptable Materials. Any unacceptable materials discovered to be mixed with GCDD after it is accepted at the GCDD recovery facility must be immediately separated from the GCDD and removed from the GCDD recovery facility within 72 hours after receipt. The separated unacceptable material must be managed as follows:

2) Lead-acid batteries must be transported either to a drop-off center handling the waste or to a lead-acid battery retailer.

3) Lithium-ion batteries must be transported to a facility capable of handling the waste.

4) Special wastes must be containerized separately and removed from the facility as soon as possible by an appropriately licensed special waste hauler. Special wastes must be transported to a GCDD recovery facility permitted to accept special waste.

5) Asbestos and asbestos debris must be managed in compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations.

6) Used and waste tires must be managed in compliance with Title XVI of the Act.

7) White good components must be managed in compliance with Section 22.28 of the Act.
