CGA G-1.8-2017 8.1.1 Identification of site-specific lime pond characteristics Before the development of a site-specific work plan,the following data and information should be collected.This information assists in determining the amount of lime material and standing water to be removed as well as the quantity of clean fill material required to bring the property to final grade. • Size of the pond—Determine the physical boundaries of the impoundment in terms of length, width, depth, and overall cubic yardage including all dikes, levees, or embankments; • Structure of the pond—Determine if the pond is constructed below or aboveground surface; is lined or un- lined; and consists of earthen dikes, levees, or embankments.This information might be available from site surveys, aerial photographs, and historical records; • Volume of lime—Determine how much lime is present in the pond in cubic yards. This information might be available from site surveys, lime depth measurements, aerial photographs, or site historical and production records. It is also generally recommended that the depth of Ifine be determined through a soil boring that reaches native soil; • Characteristics of the lime material—At a minimum, determine pH. Additional testing may be appropriate depending upon the intended destination of the lime and regulatory requirements of the federal and state/pro- vincial environmental agencies; • Soil, groundwater, and surface water characteristics—Obtain information regarding soil type, depth to groundwater, uses of the shallow groundwater, and adjacent surface waters; • Site topography and drainage—Identify the natural topography and drainage of the site.This information can be obtained from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maps or other sources; and • Historical site usage—Investigate the use of the land before development of the lime pond, records of any use of the pond other than lime storage, operational activities at the site other than lime generation, and adjacent/neighboring industrial or commercial activities. A Phase I checklist, which can be a useful tool to further help conduct the site characterization, is provided in Appendix A. 8.1.2 Review of regulatory closure requirements A thorough review of federal, state, provincial, territorial, and local environmental. safety, and construction regu- lations should be performed to incorporate compliance requirements into the site-specific closure work plan. During this phase of the closure program,all permitting,notification,and approval requirements as well as options for wastewater and possibly solid waste disposal should be identified. The following are some of the regulatory review items that should be considered: • state and local solid waste management closure requirements; • state and local (including publicly owned treatment works [POTV j)wastewater discharge requirements; • state or local construction permit requirements; • local nonhazardous industrial waste disposal requirements; • state or local requirements for clean backfill material and grading; • local planning committee requirements; • state or local requirements for fugitive emissions; • state or local storm water permit requirements; • federal or state wetlands dredge and fill permits; and • sediment and erosion control requirements.
