RULE TEXT
R315. Environmental Quality, Solid and Hazardous Waste.
R315-3. Application and Permit Procedures for Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities.
R315-3-1. General Information.
1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THESE REGULATIONS
(a) No person shall own, construct, modify, or operate any facility for the purpose of treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous waste without first submitting, and receiving the approval of the Executive Secretary for, a hazardous waste permit for that facility. However, any person owning or operating a facility on or before November 19, 1980, who has given timely notification as required by section 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, 42 U.S.C., section 6921, et seq., and who has submitted a proposed hazardous waste permit pursuant to this section and section 19-6-108 for that facility, may continue to operate that facility without violating this section until the time as the permit is approved or disapproved pursuant to this section.
(b) The Executive Secretary shall review each proposed hazardous waste permit application to determine whether the application will be in accord with the provisions of these rules and section 19-6-108 and, on that basis, shall approve or disapprove the application within the applicable time period specified in section 19-6-108. If, after the receipt of plans, specifications, or other information required under this section and section 19-6-108 and within the applicable time period of section 19-6-108, the Executive Secretary determines that the proposed construction, installation or establishment or any part of it will not be in accord with the requirements of this section or the applicable rules, he shall issue an order prohibiting the construction, installation or establishment of the proposal in whole or in part. The date of submission shall be deemed to be the date of all required information is provided to the Executive Secretary as required by these rules.
(c) Any permit application which does not meet the requirements of these rules shall be disapproved within the applicable time period specified in section 19-6-108. If within the applicable time period specified in section 19-6-108 the Executive Secretary fails to approve or disapprove the permit application or to request the submission of any additional information or modification to the application, the application shall not be deemed approved but the applicant may petition the Executive Secretary for a decision or seek judicial relief requiring a decision of approval or disapproval.
(d) An application for approval of a hazardous waste permit consists of two parts, part A and part B. For an existing facility, the requirement is satisfied by submitting only part A of the application until the date the Executive Secretary sets for each individual facility for submitting part B of the application, which date shall be in no case less than six months after the Executive Secretary gives notice to a particular facility that it shall submit part B of the application.
(e) Owners and operators of hazardous waste management units shall have permits during the active life, including the closure period, of the unit. Owners and operators of surface impoundments, landfills, land treatment units, and waste pile units that received waste after July 26, 1982, or that certified closure, according to R315-7-14, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR 265.115, after January 26, 1983, shall have post-closure permits, unless they demonstrate closure by removal or decontamination as provided under R315-3-1.1(e)(5) and (6), or obtain an enforceable document in lieu of a post-closure permit, as provided under R315-3-1.1(e)(7). If a post-closure permit is required, the permit shall address applicable R315-8 groundwater monitoring, unsaturated zone monitoring, corrective action, and post-closure care requirements of R315. The denial of a permit for the active life of a hazardous waste management facility or unit does not affect the requirement to obtain a post-closure permit under R315-3-1.1.
(1) Specific inclusions. Owners or operators of certain facilities require hazardous waste permits as well as permits under other environmental programs for certain aspects of facility operation. Hazardous waste permits are required for:
(i) Injection wells that dispose of hazardous waste, and associated surface facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste. However, the owner or operator with a State or Federal UIC permit will be deemed to have a "permit by rule" if they comply with requirements of R315-3-6.1(a).
(ii) Treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste at facilities requiring and NPDES permit. However, the owner or operator of a publicly owned treatment works receiving hazardous waste will be deemed to have a "permit by rule" if they comply with provisions of R315-3-6.1(b).
(2) Specific exclusions. The following persons are among those who are not required to obtain a permit:
(i) Generators who accumulate hazardous waste on-site for less than the time periods as provided in R315-5-3.34, which incorporates the requirements of 40 CFR 262.34.
(ii) Farmers who dispose of hazardous waste pesticides from their own use as provided in R315-5-7.
(iii) Persons who own or operate facilities solely for the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste excluded from regulations under R315-2-5, small quantity generator exemption.
(iv) Owners or operators of totally enclosed treatment facilities as defined in 40 CFR 260.10, which is incorporated by reference in R315-1-1.
(v) Owners of operators of elementary neutralization units or wastewater treatment units as defined in 40 CFR 260.10, which is incorporated by reference in R315-1-1.
(vi) Transporters storing manifested shipments of hazardous waste in containers meeting the requirements of R315-5-3.32(b) at a transfer facility for a period of ten days or less.
(vii) Persons adding absorbent material to waste in a container, as defined in 40 CFR 260.10, which is incorporated by reference in R315-1, and persons adding waste to absorbent material in a container, provided that these actions occur at the time waste is first placed in the container, and R315-8-2.8(b), R315-8-9.2, and R315-8-9.3 are complied with.
(viii) Universal waste handlers and universal waste transporters (as defined in R315-16-1.9) managing the wastes listed below. These handlers are subject to regulation under R315-16.
(A) Batteries as described in R315-16-1.2;
(B) Pesticides as described in R315-16-1.3;
(C) Thermostats as described in R315-16-1.4; and
(D) Mercury lamps as described in R315-16-1.5.
(3) Further exclusions.
(i) A person is not required to obtain a permit for treatment or containment activities taken during immediate response to any of the following situations;
(A) Discharge of a hazardous waste;
(B) An imminent and substantial threat of a discharge of hazardous waste.
(C) A discharge of a material which, when discharged, becomes a hazardous waste.
(ii) Any person who continues or initiates hazardous waste treatment or containment activities after the immediate response is over is subject to all applicable requirements of this part for those activities.
(iii) In the case of emergency responses involving military munitions, the responding military emergency response specialist's organizational unit shall retain records for three years identifying the dates of the response, the responsible persons responding, the type and description of material addressed, and its disposition.
(4) Permits for less than an entire facility. The Executive Secretary may issue or deny a permit for one or more units at a facility without simultaneously issuing or denying a permit to all units at the facility. The interim status of any unit for which a permit has not been issued or denied is not affected by the issuance or denial of a permit to any other unit at the facility.
(5) Closure by removal. Owners or operators of surface impoundments, land treatment units, and waste piles closing by removal or decontamination under R315-7 standards shall obtain a post-closure permit unless they can demonstrate to the Executive Secretary that the closure met the standards for closure by removal or decontamination in R315-8-11.5, R315-8-13.8, or R315-8-12.6, respectively. The demonstration may be made in the following ways:
(i) If the owner or operator has submitted a part B application for a post-closure permit, the owner or operator may request a determination, based on information contained in the application, that R315-8 closure by removal standards were met. If the Executive Secretary believes that R315-8 standards were met, he will notify the public of this proposed decision, allow for public comment, and reach a final determination according to the procedures in R315-3-1.1(e)(6);
(ii) If the owner or operator has not submitted a part B permit application for a post-closure permit, the owner or operator may petition the Executive Secretary for a determination that a post-closure permit is not required because the closure met the applicable R315-8 closure standards;
(A) The petition shall include data demonstrating that closure by the removal or decontamination standards of R315-8 were met.
(B) The Executive Secretary shall approve or deny the petition according to the procedures outlined in R315-3-1.1(e)(6).
(6) Procedures for Closure Equivalency Determination.
(i) If a facility owner or operator seeks an equivalency demonstration under R315-3-1.1(e)(5), the Executive Secretary will provide the public, through a newspaper notice, the opportunity to submit written comments on the information submitted by the owner or operator within 30 days from the date of the notice. The Executive Secretary will also, in response to a request or at his own discretion, hold a public hearing whenever a hearing might clarify one or more issues concerning the equivalence of the R315-7 closure to an R315-8 closure. The Executive Secretary will give public notice of the hearing at least 30 days before it occurs. Public notice of the hearing may be given at the same time as notice of the opportunity for the public to submit written comments, and the two notices may be combined.
(ii) The Executive Secretary will determine whether the R315-7 closure met R315-8 closure by removal or decontamination requirements within 90 days of its receipt. If the Executive Secretary finds that the closure did not meet the applicable R315-8 standards, he will provide the owner or operator with a written statement of the reasons why the closure failed to meet R315-8 standards. The owner or operator may submit additional information in support of an equivalency demonstration within 30 days after receiving a written statement. The Executive Secretary will review any additional information submitted and make a final determination within 60 days.
(iii) If the Executive Secretary determines that the facility did not close in accordance with R315-8-7, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR 264.110 through 264.116, closure by removal standards, the facility is subject to post-closure permit requirements.
(7) Enforceable documents for post-closure care. At the discretion of the Executive Secretary, an owner or operator may obtain, in lieu of a post-closure permit, an enforceable document imposing the requirements of R315-7-14, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR 265.121. "Enforceable document'' means an order, a permit, or other document issued by the Executive Secretary that meets the requirements of 19-6-104, 19-6-112, 19-6-113, and 19-6-115, including a corrective action order issued by EPA under section 3008(h), a CERCLA remedial action, or a closure or post-closure permit.

R315-3-2. Permit Application.
2.1 GENERAL APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
(a) Permit Application. Any person who is required to have a permit, including new applicants and persons with expiring permits, shall complete, sign and submit, an application to the Executive Secretary as described in R315-3-2.1 and R315-3-7. Persons currently authorized with interim status shall apply for permits when required by the Executive Secretary. Persons covered by RCRA permits by rule, R315-3-6.1, need not apply. Procedures for applications, issuance and administration of emergency permits are found exclusively in R315-3-6.2. Procedures for application, issuance and administration of research, development, and demonstration permits are found exclusively in R315-3-6.5.
(b) Who Applies?
When a facility or activity is owned by one person but is operated by another person, it is the operator's duty to obtain a permit, except that the owner shall also sign the permit application.
(c) Completeness.
(1) The Executive Secretary shall not issue a permit before receiving a complete application for a permit except for permit by rule, or emergency permit. An application for a permit is complete when the Executive Secretary receives an application form and any supplemental information which are completed to his satisfaction. An application for a permit is complete notwithstanding the failure of the owner or operator to submit the exposure information described in R315-3-2.1(i). The Executive Secretary may deny a permit for the active life of a hazardous waste management facility or unit before receiving a complete application for a permit.
(2) The Executive Secretary shall review for completeness every permit application. Each permit application submitted by a new hazardous waste management facility, should be reviewed for completeness by the Executive Secretary in accordance with the applicable review periods of 19-6-108. Upon completing the review, the Executive Secretary shall notify the applicant in writing whether the permit application is complete. If the permit application is incomplete, the Executive Secretary shall list the information necessary to make the permit application complete. When the permit application is for an existing hazardous waste management facility, the Executive Secretary shall specify in the notice of deficiency a date for submitting the necessary information. The Executive Secretary shall review information submitted in response to a notice of deficiency within 30 days after receipt. The Executive Secretary shall notify the applicant that the permit application is complete upon receiving this information. After the permit application is complete, the Executive Secretary may request additional information from an applicant but only when necessary to clarify, modify, or supplement previously submitted material.
(3) If an applicant fails or refuses to correct deficiencies in the permit application, the permit application may be denied and appropriate enforcement actions may be taken under the applicable provisions of the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Act.
(d) Existing Hazardous Waste Management Facilities and Interim Status Qualifications.
(1) Owners and operators of existing hazardous waste management facilities or of hazardous waste management facilities in existence on the effective date of statutory or regulatory amendment under Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Act or RCRA that render the facility subject to the requirement to have a RCRA permit or State permit shall submit part A of their permit application to the Executive Secretary no later than:
(i) Six months after the date of publication of rules which first require them to comply with the standards set forth in R315-7 or R315-14, or
(ii) Thirty days after the date they first become subject to the standards set forth in R315-7 or R315-14, whichever first occurs.
(iii) For generators generating greater than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste in a calendar month and treats, stores, or disposes of these wastes on-site, by March 24, 1987
For facilities which had to comply with R315-7 because they handle a waste listed in EPA's May 19, 1980, Part 261 regulations, 45 FR 33006 et seq., the deadline for submitting an application was November 19, 1980. Where other existing facilities shall begin complying with R315-7 or R315-14 at a later date because of revisions to R315-1, R315-2, R315-7, or R315-14, the Executive Secretary will specify when those facilities shall submit a permit application.
(2) The Executive Secretary may extend the date by which owners and operators of specified classes of existing hazardous waste management facilities shall submit Part A of their permit application if he finds that there has been substantial confusion as to whether the owners and operators of such facilities were required to file a permit application and such confusion is attributed to ambiguities in R315-1, R315-2, R315-7 or R315-14 of the regulations.
(3) The Executive Secretary may by compliance order issued under 19-6-112 and 19-6-113 extend the date by which the owner and operator of an existing hazardous waste management facility must submit part A of their permit application.
(4) The owner or operator of an existing hazardous waste management facility may be required to submit part B of the permit application. Any owner or operator shall be allowed at least six months from the date of request to submit part B of the application. Any owner or operator of an existing hazardous waste management facility may voluntarily submit part B of the application at any time. Notwithstanding the above, any owner or operator of an existing hazardous waste management facility shall submit a part B application in accordance with the dates specified in R315-3-7.4. Any owner or operator of a land disposal facility in existence on the effective date of statutory or regulatory amendments under R315 that render the facility subject to the requirement to have a permit, shall submit a part B application in accordance with the dates specified in R315-3-7.4.
(5) Failure to furnish a requested part B application on time, or to furnish in full the information required by the part B application, is grounds for termination of interim status under R315-3-4.4.
(e) New Hazardous Waste Management Facilities.
(1) Except as provided in R315-3-2.1(e)(3), no person shall begin physical construction of a new hazardous waste management facility without having submitted part A and part B of the application and having received a finally effective permit.
(2) An application for a permit for a new hazardous waste management facility, including both part A and part B, may be filed any time after promulgation of applicable regulations. The application shall be filed with the Regional Administrator if at the time of application the State has not received final authorization for permitting such facility; otherwise it shall be filed with the Executive Secretary. Except as provided in R315-3-2.1(e)(3), all applications shall be submitted at least 180 days before physical construction is expected to commence.
(3) Notwithstanding R315-3-2.1(e)(1), a person may construct a facility for the incineration of polychlorinated biphenyls pursuant to an approval issued by the U.S. EPA Administrator under section (6)(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., and any person owning or operating such a facility may, at any time after construction or operation of the facility has begun, file an application for a permit to incinerate hazardous waste authorizing the facility to incinerate waste identified or listed in these rules.
(f) Updating permit applications.
(1) If any owner or operator of a hazardous waste management facility has filed part A of a permit application and has not yet filed part B, the owner or operator shall file an amended part A application:
(i) With the Executive Secretary, within six months after the promulgation of revised regulations under 40 CFR 261 listing or identifying additional hazardous wastes, if the facility is treating, storing or disposing of any of those newly listed or identified wastes.
(ii) With the Executive Secretary no later than the effective date of regulatory provisions listing or designating wastes as hazardous in the State in addition to those listed or designated under the previously approved State program, if the facility is treating, storing, or disposing of any of those newly listed or designated wastes; or
(iii) As necessary to comply with changes during interim status, R315-3-7.3. Revised part A applications necessary to comply with the provisions of interim status shall be filed with the Executive Secretary.
(2) The owner or operator of a facility who fails to comply with the updating requirements of R315-3-2.1(f)(1) does not receive interim status as to the wastes not covered by duly filed part A applications.
(g) Reapplications. Any hazardous waste management facility with an effective permit shall submit a new application at least 180 days before the expiration date of the effective permit, unless permission for a later date has been granted by the Executive Secretary. The Executive Secretary shall not grant permission for applications to be submitted later than the expiration date of the existing permit.
(h) Recordkeeping.
Applicants shall keep records of all data used to complete permit application and any supplemental information submitted under R315-3-2.4 through R315-3-2.12, for a period of at least three years from the date the application is signed.
(i) Exposure information.
(1) Any part B permit application submitted by an owner or operator of a facility that stores, treats, or disposes of hazardous waste in a surface impoundment or a landfill shall be accompanied by information, reasonably ascertainable by the owner or operator, on the potential for the public to be exposed to hazardous wastes or hazardous constituents through releases related to the unit. At a minimum, the information shall address:
(i) Reasonably foreseeable potential releases from both normal operations and accidents at the unit, including releases associated with transportation to or from the unit;
(ii) The potential pathways of human exposure to hazardous wastes or constituents resulting from the releases described under R315-3-2.1(i)(1)(i); and
(iii) The potential magnitude and nature of the human exposure resulting from such releases.
(2) Owners and operators of a landfill or a surface impoundment who have already submitted a part B application shall submit the exposure information required in R315-3-2.1(i)(1).
(j) The Executive Secretary may require a permittee or an applicant to submit information in order to establish permit conditions under R315-3-3.3(b)(2), and R315-3-5.1(d).
(k) If the Executive Secretary concludes, based on one or more of the factors listed in R315-3-2.1(k)1 that compliance with the standards of R307-214-2, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR 63, subpart EEE, alone may not be protective of human health or the environment, the Executive Secretary shall require the additional information or assessment(s) to determine whether additional controls are necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment. This includes information necessary to evaluate the potential risk resulting from both direct and indirect exposure pathways.
(1) The Executive Secretary shall base the evaluation on factors relevant to the potential risk from a hazardous waste combustion unit, including, as appropriate, any of the following factors:
(i) site-specific considerations such as proximity to receptors, such as schools, hospitals, or other potentially sensitive receptors, unique dispersion patterns, etc.;
(ii) identities and quantities of emissions of persistent, bioaccumulative or toxic pollutants considering enforceable controls in place to limit those pollutants;
(iii) identities and quantities of nondioxin products of incomplete combustion most likely to be emitted and to pose significant risk;
(iv) identities and quantities of other off-site sources of pollutants that significantly influence interpretation of a facility-specific risk assessment;
(v) ecological considerations, such as the proximity of a particularly sensitive ecological area;
(vi) volume and types of wastes, for example wastes containing highly toxic constituents;
(vii) other on-site sources of hazardous air pollutants that significantly influence interpretation of the risk posed by operation of the source;
(viii) adequacy of previously conducted risk assessment, given subsequent changes in conditions likely to affect risk; and
(ix) other factors as appropriate.
