STANDARD PROVISIONS AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, JANUARY 2012 - 5 - <br />FOR WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS <br />FOR DISCHARGES REGULATED BY SUBTITLE D AND/OR TITLE 27 <br /> <br /> <br />3. The discharge of wastes outside of a waste management unit or portions of a <br />unit specifically designed for their containment is prohibited. <br />4. The discharge of solid waste containing free liquid or which may contain liquid <br />in excess of the moisture holding capacity as a result of waste management <br />operations, compaction or settlement is prohibited. <br />5. The discharge of waste to a closed landfill unit is prohibited. <br />6. The discharge of waste constituents to the unsaturated zone or to <br />groundwater is prohibited. <br />7. The discharge of solid or liquid waste or leachate to surface waters, surface <br />water drainage courses, or groundwater is prohibited. <br />D. STANDARD DISCHARGE SPECIFICATIONS <br /> <br />1. The Discharger is responsible for accurate characterization of wastes, including <br />a determination of whether or not wastes will be compatible with containment <br />features and other wastes at the waste management unit and whether or not the <br />wastes are required to be managed as a hazardous waste [Title 27, § 20200(c)] <br />or designated waste [Title 27, § 20210]. <br />2. Leachate and landfill gas condensate collected from a waste management unit <br />shall be discharged to the unit from which it came, or discharged to an <br />appropriate waste management unit in accordance with Title 27 and in a manner <br />consistent with the waste classification of the liquid [Title 27, § 20200(d) and § <br />20340(g)]. <br />3. The discharge of leachate or landfill gas condensate is restricted to those <br />portions of a waste management unit that has a composite liner system and <br />LCRS meeting the Federal Subtitle D requirements [40 C.F.R. § 258.28]. <br />4. Leachate and condensate returned to a composite-lined landfill unit (when <br />approved by this Order) shall be discharged and managed such that it does not <br />cause instability of the waste, does not cause leachate seeps, does not <br />generate additional landfill gas that is not extracted from the landfill by an active <br />landfill gas extraction system, does not cause contaminants to enter surface <br />water runoff, and does not cause leachate volumes to exceed the maximum <br />capacity of the LCRS. <br />5. Any discharge of waste outside the portion of the landfill that was already <br />covered with waste as of the landfill unit’s respective Federal Deadline <br />constitutes a “lateral expansion” and requires the installation of an approved <br />composite liner system and LCRS [40 C.F.R. § 258.40(b)].
