The Administrator shall consider and promulgate guidelines as appropriate for each solid waste category that include but are not limited to 8 9 10 11 "(A) requirements with respect to siting of any source in the category including its proximity to karst terrain, seismic zones, wetlands, floodplains, and vulnerable or unmonitorable ground water; "(B) requirements with respect to construction quality assurance for the installation of any source in the category; "(C) requirements with respect to licensing or training for persons who install or operate any source in the category; "(D) requirements with respect to the de sign of any source in the category including lin 8 976 18 86 ers, leachate collection systems and cover re quirements; "(E) requirements with respect to the operation and maintenance of any source in the category; "(F) requirements for monitoring releases to air, surface water, soil, and ground water; "(G) requirements with respect to source separation or treatment prior to disposal or incineration; "(H) requirements for taking corrective ac tion in response to releases; "(I) requirements for closure and postclosure care; "(J) requirements for maintaining records of any leak detection, sampling or monitoring system associated with any source in the category; "(K) requirements for maintaining evidence of financial responsibility for closure, postclosure care, and corrective action; and "(L) other Federal and State laws and regulations with a view toward avoiding duplication of effort. 8 976 IS 1 2 3 4 5 6 87 "(5) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the authority of the Administrator pursuant to section 3001 of this Act to regulate any category or subcategory of solid waste under subtitle C of this Act.

Such controls shall include ran dom inspections of incoming loads, inspection of sus15 picious loads, records of inspections, training of fa 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 2 2 2 2 2 cility personnel to recognize illegal materials, proce dures for notifying the proper authorities if any regulated hazardous wastes are found, and precautions and penalties to prevent such offenses; “(B) daily cover as necessary to control disease vectors, fires, odors, blowing litter and scavenging; “(C) landfill gas monitoring and controls to en sure that concentrations of explosive gases beneath, 24 around, or in facility structures (excluding gas con 25 trol or recovery components) shall not exceed 25 per 8 976 IS 88 1 centum of the lower explosive limit for methane. sive limit at the property boundary (or perimeter of 2 Such concentrations shall not exceed the lower explo a dedicated buffer zone); "(D) access controls to protect human health and the environment and to prevent unauthorized vehicular traffic and to prevent illegal dumping of wastes; "(E) run-on and run-off controls that will accommodate a twenty-four hour, twenty-five year storm without overtopping and with sufficient freeboard to accommodate expected set-up and wave action; diversion of all run-on around the landfill by means of ditches, berms, dikes or grading, and relocation of surface water bodies to flow around the perimeter of the landfill; "(F) landfill closure that "(i) minimizes the need for further mainte nance; "(ii) ensures no adverse effects will be caused from postclosure releases to the ground water, surface water, or atmosphere; "(G) closure and postclosure care plans which identify for each facility the steps necessary to en sure closure and postclosure care, time estimates, 8 976 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 89 modifications to monitoring and collection systems, final cover, and cost estimates. The postclosure care period shall be determined by results from the moni toring in the landfill including leachate quality and quantity and methane gas generation or some alternative; "(H) financial responsibility for closure and postclosure care; "(I) GROUND WATER MONITORING.-The Administrator is authorized to promulgate regulations to allow a variance from ground water monitoring requirements if the owner or operator can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Administrator that there is no potential for migration of hazardous constituents from the landfill to the uppermost aquifer during the active life, closure, and postclosure. Such demonstration shall be certified by a qualified geologist or geotechnical engineer and shall be based on site specific data; and "(J) corrective action of releases to air, water, and land to protect health and the environment.
