Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 9, May 6, 2024

Section 7:26-2B.9 - Additional operational requirements for transfer stations and materials recovery facilities

(a) At no time shall ID 27 solid waste be subject to mechanized processing, such as grinding, shredding or baling, such that the physical appearance of the material is altered prior to disposal at a designated district facility.

(b) All facility processing, tipping, sorting, loading, storage and compaction of materials (that is, solid waste and mixtures of solid waste and recyclable materials) shall occur within the confines of an enclosed building.

(c) The installation, maintenance, operation, and repair of all systems identified within the interior layout of the facility shall comply with the requirements established by the Federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration and the New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act.

(d) The queuing and staging of solid waste vehicles on any public roadway is prohibited.

(e) The queuing and staging of solid waste vehicles shall be conducted in accordance with the approved on-site queuing plan for the facility so as to prevent traffic backups and related traffic hazards on access roads servicing the facility.

(f) Owners or operators of transfer stations who receive, store, treat or transfer only ID 72 liquid wastes are not required to comply with (a) and (b) above.

(g) Additional operational requirements for ID 72 liquid waste transfer stations are as follows:

1. The following are the label standards for ID 72 liquid waste transfer facilities:

i. Containers and above ground tanks used to store or treat ID 72 liquid wastes at transfer stations shall be labeled or marked clearly with the words "ID 72 Waste"; and

ii. Piping used to transfer ID 72 liquid wastes to and from containers and/or aboveground tanks at transfer stations shall be labeled or marked clearly with the words "ID 72 Waste."

2. The following are the waste analysis requirements for ID 72 liquid waste transfer facilities:

i. Before an owner or operator receives, stores, treats or transfers any ID 72 liquid waste, the owner or operator shall obtain a detailed chemical and physical analysis of a representative sample of the waste. At a minimum, the analysis shall contain all the information which must be known to receive, store, treat or transfer the waste in accordance with this chapter.

ii. The analysis required by (g)2i above may include existing published or documented data on the waste, or on wastes generated from similar processes.

iii. The analysis shall be repeated as necessary to ensure that it is accurate and up to date. At a minimum, the analysis shall be repeated:

(1) When the owner or operator is notified, or has reason to believe, that the process or operation generating the waste has changed; and

(2) When the results of the inspection required in (g)2iv below indicate that the waste received at the transfer facility does not match the waste designated on the accompanying shipping paper.

iv. The owner or operator of an ID 72 liquid waste transfer station shall inspect and, if necessary, analyze each waste shipment received at the facility to determine whether it matches the identity of the waste specified on the accompanying shipping paper.

3. The following are incompatible wastes requirements for ID 72 liquid waste transfer facilities:

i. Owners or operators of ID 72 liquid waste transfer stations that receive, store, treat or transfer incompatible wastes or mixtures of incompatible wastes and other materials shall take precautions to prevent reactions which:

(1) Generate extreme heat or pressure, fire or explosions, or violent reactions;

(2) Produce uncontrolled toxic mists, fumes or gases in sufficient quantities to threaten human health or the environment;

(3) Produce uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities to pose a risk of fires or explosions;

(4) Damage the structural integrity of the equipment or the facility; or

(5) Through other like means threaten human health or the environment.

ii. The owner shall document compliance with (g)3i(1) through (5) above. This documentation may be based on references to published scientific literature, data from trial tests (for example, bench scale or pilot scale tests), waste analyses, or the results of the treatment of similar wastes by similar treatment processes and under similar operating conditions.

4. Upon detection of a release of ID 72 liquid waste to the environment at a transfer station, the owner/operator shall perform the following cleanup steps:

i. Stop the release;

ii. Contain the released waste materials;

iii. Clean up and manage properly the released wastes and other materials; and

iv. If necessary, repair or replace any leaking storage or treatment containers or tanks prior to returning them to service.
