§ 66264.310. Closure and Post-Closure Care.
(7) conform to the provisions of subsections (e) through (r) of section 66264.228, except that the Department shall grant a variance from any requirement of subsections (e) through (r) which the owner or operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Department is not necessary to protect public health, water quality or other environmental quality.
(c) Unless the owner or operator can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Department that significant amounts of toxic or flammable gas or vapor will not be emitted by waste and that no gas will be emitted that is capable of disrupting the cover or causing other property damage, the owner or operator shall provide a control system designed to prevent migration of gas. The control system shall be designed to collect gases that are emitted from the buried waste and convey gas or vapor to a flare, incinerator or treatment device that will render the gas or vapor harmless to public health or safety, or to a collection system that allows gas to be exported for use or treatment elsewhere. Any gas collection system used shall be designed to withstand pressures that may result from overburden weight of structures that may overlie the cover, and traffic that may occur.
(d) If gas or vapor that can be expected to be emitted from buried waste after closure would be flammable or toxic, the owner shall describe in the closure plan measures to render such gases or vapors harmless, or export gas from the site, for as many years as they would be emitted from the waste, and shall estimate the cost of such measures as part of the cost of closure and post-closure care of the facility. In that case, the closure plan shall provide a map showing:
(2) the location and spacing of piping. Also in that case, the closure plan shall describe the equipment and capability of equipment, to be provided to render gases or vapor harmless or export gas for use or treatment elsewhere. If pumping would be needed to assure that such gas is withdrawn at a rate sufficient to avoid hazardous accumulation of gas or vapor or uncontrolled migration of such gas or vapor or uncontrolled migration of such gas or vapor from the facility, the owner or operator shall describe measures to provide such pumping for as many years as such gas or vapor will be emitted from the waste, and shall estimate the cost of such measures as part of the cost of closure and post-closure care of the facility. The closure plan shall in that case describe the type of pump, volume of gas the pump can move per unit time, and the estimated distances from the pump from which gas can be extracted from the landfill. The owner or operator shall provide such measures as needed.
