R315-265-14. General Facility Standards -- Security

  (a) The owner or operator shall prevent the unknowing entry, and minimize the possibility for the unauthorized entry, of persons or livestock onto the active portion of his facility, unless:

  (1) Physical contact with the waste, structures, or equipment with the active portion of the facility will not injure unknowing or unauthorized persons or livestock which may enter the active portion of a facility, and

  (2) Disturbance of the waste or equipment, by the unknowing or unauthorized entry of persons or livestock onto the active portion of a facility, will not cause a violation of the requirements of Rule R315-265.

  (b) Unless exempt under Subsections R315-265-14(a)(1) and (2), a facility shall ha ve:

  (1) A 24-hour surveillance system, for example, television monitoring or surveillance by guards or facility personnel, which continuously monitors and controls entry onto the active portion of the facility; or

  (2)(i) An artificial or natural barrier, for example, a fence in good repair or a fence combined with a cliff, which completely surrounds the active portion of the facility; and

  (ii) A means to control entry, at all times, through the gates or other entrances to the active portion of the facility, for example, an attendant, television monitors, locked entrance, or controlled roadway access to the facility.

  Comment: The requirements of Subsection R315-265-14(b) are satisfied if the facility or plant within which the active portion is located itself has a surveillance system, or a barrier and a means to control entry, which complies with the requirements of Subsections R315-265-14(b)(1) or (2).

  (c) Unless exempt under Subsections R315-265-14(a)(1) and (a)(2), a sign with the legend, "Danger---Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out," shall be posted at each entrance to the active portion of a facility, and at other locations, in sufficient numbers to be seen from any approach to this active portion. The legend shall be written in English and in any other language predominant in the area surrounding the facility, for example, facilities in counties bordering the Canadian province of Quebec shall post signs in French; facilities in counties bordering Mexico shall post signs in Spanish, and shall be legible from a distance of at least 25 feet. Existing signs with a legend other than "Danger---Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out" may be used if the legend on the sign indicates that only authorized personnel are allowed to enter the active portion, and that entry onto the active portion can be dangerous.

  Comment: See Subsection R315-265-117(b) for discussion of security requirements at disposal facilities during the post-closure care period.
