Rule 567-109.8 - Special waste generator responsibilities

Special waste generator responsibilities shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Prior to submission of an SWA application, the generator shall adhere to the solid waste management hierarchy. Alternatives include volume reduction at the source; recycling and reuse, including composting and land application; and other approved techniques of solid waste management including, but not limited to, combustion with energy recovery and combustion for waste disposal. The generator shall include, as part of the SWA application, a description of the review of the alternatives to landfilling for each waste for which an SWA is requested. The description should detail to what extent the waste could be recycled, reduced or reused so that landfilling is not necessary.

(2) The generator shall follow the guidelines for submission of an SWA application as given in 109.5(455B,455D).

(3) The generator shall ensure that special waste coming into the landfill shall arrive as a separate load and not be commingled with any other waste.

(4) The generator shall submit analytical results supporting an SWA at a frequency to be determined by the landfill.

(5) After receiving an SWA, the generator must contact the designated landfill for instructions on delivering the waste and instructions for adhering to the landfill's SWAC.

(6) The generator shall notify the department and landfill, prior to disposal, of any change in the characteristics of the special wastes being disposed.

(7) Generators shall notify the landfill in writing when a one-time disposal under an SWA has been completed. This requirement is for one-time disposals only.
