LEA Advisory 20 Attachment- Inspection Guidance for SW Landfills Page 34 of 52 containment without having a permit as a hazardous waste storage facility in accordance with Health and Safety Code, §25123.3. Tank systems must comply with secondary containment requirements of Title 22, §66265.193, unless exempted in accordance with §66265.193(g) or granted a variance under §66265.193(g). Used oil filters may be managed as non-hazardous waste only if the conditions set forth in Title 22, §66266.130 are met. Batteries: If a hazardous waste facilities permit is issued to the facility by the DTSC,batteries should be stored in accordance with its requirements. A hazardous waste facilities permit may not be required if: up to one ton of used lead-acid batteries (approximately 50 batteries) are stored for a maximum of one year or more than one ton of such batteries are stored for up to 180 days, in accordance with Health and Safety Code section 25218.8 (Appendix G). For estimating purposes, the industry standard is 40 pounds per battery. All batteries should be stored in accordance with Title 22 requirements. If hazardous waste is seen in the working face or other unpermitted areas of the site, it is a violation unless it is also seen by the operator who then takes appropriate action. When illegal hazardous waste is discovered, the operator should isolate the material and contact the appropriate county health hazardous materials unit. The operator should attempt to determine the source of the material. Many landfills have hazardous waste storage units, and if the waste does not present an immediate threat, it should be properly stored in accordance with Title 22 requirements, at this location. 17743 Liquid Wastes Liquid wastes and sludges may be accepted at a site only as approved by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, the local health entity, and the enforcement agency. Liquid wastes and sludges which may be disposed at a landfill should be specifically described in the SWFP and/or WDRs. A violation should be noted if unpermitted or prohibited liquid wastes are accepted for disposal. Concerns associated with liquid waste, other than water quality, including odors, nuisance, and handling, should be addressed under applicable SMS. 17744 Dead Animals Dead animals may be accepted if allowed by local regulations. Dead animals should receive special handling, including quick and proper burial and/or burial in a designated area. Their disposal should be addressed in the RDSI and SWFP. Closure Guidance for closed and closing sites will be provided in an upcoming advisory.
