LEA Advisory 20 Attachment - Inspection Guidance for SW Landfills Page 17 of 52 normal business hours. Records should not be in an unreasonable location such as another state. If some records are kept at a location other than the facility, the inspector should travel to view the records on the day of the inspection or, if not possible, request that the operator send copies of the records to the inspector within two weeks of the inspection. Design It has been Board staff policy to determine a site in compliance with each of the Design Standards (17626, 17628, 17629) if the site was given a grandfathered permit (i.e., the site was operating before August 15, 1977). Sites which commenced operating on or after August 15, 1977, should be evaluated to determine if inadequate site design has resulted in violations of other SMS as identified in these regulations. New waste management units which extend beyond the originally permitted footprint should be evaluated for this standard. The environmental engineering staff(Closure and Remediation staff) can help in evaluating complex designs as part of the inspector's preparation for a field inspection. Design aspects related to water quality are under the jurisdiction of the RWQCB and any concerns should be coordinated with them. 17626 Design Responsibility Design of a new disposal site shall be under direction of a person registered as a civil engineer in the State of California. The designer shall utilize expert advice as appropriate from persons competent in soils, hydrology, geology, landscape design, air and water quality control, chemistry and other disciplines. No further guidance. 17628 General Design Parameters Each site design shall be based on appropriate data regarding the service area, anticipated nature and quantity of wastes to be received, climatological factors,physical setting, adjacent land use (existing and planned), types and numbers of vehicles anticipated to enter the site, ground and surface water, leachate control, soils, drainage,provisions for monitoring, venting, controlling and possible use of landfill decomposition gas and other pertinent information. If the site is to be used by the general public, the design shall take account of features which may be needed to accommodate such public use. No further guidance. 17629 Public Health Design Parameters Disposal sites shall be designed in such a manner as to minimize the propagation or harborage of flies, rodents or other vectors, and the creation of nuisances by reason of solid wastes being deposited at the site. Other factors which shall be taken into consideration are air and water quality, noise control, odor control,public safety and other pertinent matters related to the protection of public health. No further guidance. http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/pe/advisory/20/attach20/20attch l.htm 8/11/98
