362-3.5 Design and operating requirements.
A facility required to obtain a permit under this Subpart must, in addition to the requirements identified in Part 360 of this Title, design, construct, maintain, and operate the facility in compliance with the following criteria:
(a) Source-separated recyclables, source-separated household hazardous waste, source-separated electronic wastes, source-separated rechargeable batteries, source-separated mercury-containing products, and other source-separated items that are subject to legislatively enacted product stewardship programs in New York State must not be accepted by the facility. Source-separated recyclables must only be accepted if the facility is also authorized as a recyclables handling and recovery facility under Subpart 361-1 of this Title.
(b) All tipping, sorting, processing, compaction, storage, loading, and related activities, which the exception of those at residential drop-off locations for non-commercial customers, must be conducted in an enclosed building with adequate odor controls to effectively control off-site nuisances. Nonputrescible waste may be stored in outdoor areas if it is stored in closed containers or covered trailers.
(c) The processing, storage, loading, and unloading areas must be constructed of concrete or asphalt paving material and must be equipped with adequate drainage structures that are directed to enclosed tanks that meet the requirements of section 360.19(n) of this Title or a sanitary sewer system.
(d) The tipping floor must be cleaned at the end of each operating day unless otherwise determined by the department.
(e) Radioactive waste detection procedures and requirements.
Permitted transfer facilities from which MSW or drilling and production waste is transported out of state must meet the following requirements:
(1) A fixed radiation detection unit must be installed and operated at a location appropriate for the monitoring of all incoming waste.
(2) The investigation alarm set point of the radiation detector must be set at least two times, but no greater than five times, facility background radiation levels.
(3) Background radiation readings at the facility must be measured and recorded at least daily.
(4) Field checks of the radiation detector utilizing a known radiation source must be performed and recorded at least weekly.
(5) The radiation detector must be calibrated at least annually or more often as recommended by the manufacturer, and documentation describing the calibration must be maintained at the facility.
(6) Each instance in which the radiation detector is triggered by a waste load must be documented and reported to the department within 24 hours. Recorded information must include the date the waste was received, transporter name, origin of the waste, truck number or other identifying marking, detector reading, disposition of the waste, and date of disposition.
(7) Training related to radiation detection system operating procedures and radiation investigation alarm response procedures must be conducted at least annually.
(f) All putrescible waste must be removed from the transfer facility by the end of the next business day after the transfer container becomes full or within seven calendar days of receipt, whichever comes first.
(g) Any friable asbestos-containing waste accepted at the facility must be managed in accordance with the facility’s waste control plan. At a minimum, the following procedures must be satisfied:
(1) friable asbestos-containing waste accepted at the facility must be labeled in accordance with 40 CFR part 61, subparts A and M, as incorporated by reference in section 360.3 of this Title;
(2) all transfer of friable asbestos-containing waste must be conducted in an enclosed structure equipped with systems to minimize the discharge of asbestos to the environment using the best available control technology (BACT) as defined in section 200.1(i) of this Title; and
(3) no compaction of friable asbestos-containing waste at a facility is allowed.
(h) All waste delivered to and leaving the facility, with the exception of wastes delivered by non-commercial vehicles to residential drop-off areas, must be weighed and recorded in tons.
(i) A permitted facility must maintain financial assurance in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of closure of the facility as specified by section 360.22 of this Title.
