Any direct-line discharge to a surface.impoundment shall have fail-safe equipment or operating procedures to prevent.overfilling. - 12. The surface impoundment shall be designed,:constructed and maintained to prevent scouring and/or erosion of the liners and other containment features at points of discharge to the impoundments and by wave action at the water line.- -13. ine.-13. _Leachate removed from a surface impoundment's primary LCRS shall be discharged to the impoundment from which it originated. 14. Leachate generation by a surface impoundment to the primary LCRS shall not exceed design requirements.=If leachate generation exceeds this value, then the Discharger shall immediately cease the discharge of.waste,excluding leachate,to the impoundment and shall notify the Board in writing within seven days. Notification shall include a timetable for remedial action to repair the upper liner to the impoundment or other action necessary to reduce leachate production. 15.
