Municipal
Solid Waste Landfills are regulated under 40 CFR Part 258, Criteria
for Municipal Landfills and Arkansas's Regulation 22 SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT Rules.
These
rules generally referred to as "Subtitle D" rules establish
standards and criteria for location restrictions; permit application
procedures; facility design, operating, and maintenance criteria;
ground water monitoring and corrective actions; financial assurances;
and closure/post-closure care for all solid waste disposal and management
facilities to ensure the protection of human health and the environment.
These
regulations apply to owners or operators of solid waste disposal
processing facilities, except as specifically provided in the regulation,
including but not limited to the following permit categories, each
of which requires either a separate permit or coverage under a general
permit. |
| CLASS
1 |
Facilities
are landfills built to RCRA Subtitle D standards. |
| CLASS
2 |
{Reserved} |
| CLASS
3 |
NONCOMMERCIAL
(3N) facilities are landfills that accept for disposal non-hazardous
industrial and commercial wastes generated by the permittee or from
other approved facility locations or sources.
COMMERICAL (3C) facilities are landfills that accept for disposal
only authorized non-hazardous industrial and commercial wastes generated
by the permittee or from other approved facility locations or sources.
TIRE (3T) facilities are tire monofills that accept only tires for
disposal. |
| CLASS
4 |
Facilities
are landfills for commercial disposal of inert non-putrescible Class
4 wastes as defined in regulations |
| COMPOSTING
FACILITIES (CY) |
Facilities
that accept only vegetative grass, brush and tree yard wastes. |
| COMPOSTING
FACILITY (CS) |
Facilities
that accept type CY wastes and approved organic or solid wastes |
| TRANSFER
STATIONS (TS) |
Facilities
that manage the bulking of solid waste for transportation to a point
of disposal. |
SOLID
WASTE MATERIALS OR SOLID
WASTE RECOVERY (WR) |
Facilities
that segregate, recover, or otherwise process redeemable materials
from Class 4 types of waste streams. |
| |
|
In
general, analytical testing for landfills can be segregated into a
number of categories such as: |
