N.H. Admin. Code § Env-Hw 304.11

Current through Register No. 45, November 7, 2024
Section Env-Hw 304.11 - Required Standard Permit and Transfer Facility Permit Application Information
(a) The applicant for a standard permit or a transfer facility permit shall submit the following information:
(1) The Part A application information required by 40 CFR 270.13, and the Part B application information required by 40 CFR 270.14(b) through (d);
(2) The name of a contact person for the site;
(3) For new land disposal facilities, the floodplain information required by 40 CFR 270.14(b)(11), including whether the facility is proposed to be located within a 500-year floodplain;
(4) Facility design plans and specifications, prepared and stamped approved by a New Hampshire registered professional engineer, including a scale drawing of the facility, showing the location of all past, present, and future treatment, storage, and disposal areas in sufficient detail to provide complete information to a contractor hired to build the facility even if the owner or operator intends to construct the facility without hiring a contractor;
(5) Construction schedule for any new construction or planned modifications to existing structures;
(6) If the applicant is leasing the property upon which the facility is located, a certification, as specified in Env-Hw 207, from the owner of the property verifying that such a lease exists and specifying the duration of that lease;
(7) The results of a criminal records check and a performance history of the applicant and of its officers and directors relative to the operation, financial security, and ownership of all facilities owned or operated by the applicant, submitted in accordance with RSA 147-A:4, II-c, II-d and IV-a;
(8) Unless exempt pursuant to Env-Hw 303.02(e) or (f), a hydrogeological analysis that includes the following:
a. Information required by 40 CFR 264.97;
b. An accumulation and evaluation of published or existing hydrogeological information;
c. An accumulation and evaluation of geological structural controls at the site to determine the site's relationship to intermediate and regional flow systems;
d. An assessment of the geophysical characteristics of the underlying materials so that the hydrogeological characteristics of the site can be evaluated;
e. A determination of the configuration of the groundwater table, including groundwater gradients of the unconfined and, where appropriate, confined aquifers;
f. The saturated thickness of the aquifers and the hydraulic interconnection between them;
g. Field data to represent high and low water table conditions;
h. The location of groundwater monitoring wells that are designed and will be located so as to yield the following data from which site impacts can be determined:
1. Test pits;
2. Well logs;
3. Boring logs; and
4. Well construction specifications;
i. An evaluation of pump tests to determine hydraulic conductivity, migration rates, and aquifer transmissivities and storativities;
j. A determination of background water quality, and a submittal of the sampling and analysis methods used for such determination; and
k. A written confirmation from the department whether a groundwater permit is required;
(9) If applicable, the information specified in 40 CFR 270.10(j), 40 CFR 270.15, 40 CFR 270.16, 40 CFR 270.17, 40 CFR 270.18, 40 CFR 270.19, 40 CFR 270.20, 40 CFR 270.21, 40 CFR 270.23, and 40 CFR 270.26; and
(10) Any additional information necessary to demonstrate that human health, safety and the environment will be protected.
(b) As used in (a)(8)i., above, "transmissivity" means the rate at which water of a prevailing density and viscosity is transmitted through a unit width of aquifer or confining bed under a unit hydraulic gradient.
(c) As used in (a)(8)i., above, "storativity" means the volume of water taken into or released from storage per unit change in head per unit area.
