Table 2.1 - Summary of Waste Management Strategies for Discharges of Waste to Land

TABLE 2.1. SUMMARY OF WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR DISCHARGES OF WASTE TO LAND1
Waste Category2, 3	Waste Management Strategy Unit Class		Waste Management Unit Type	Primary Containment4	Siting and Geologic Criteria5
Liquid Hazardous6	Full Containment	I	Surface Impoundment	Double Liners7	(a) Natural features capable of containing waste and leachate as backup to primary containment.
Solid Hazardous6	Full Containment	I	Landfill	Double Liners7
Dry Solid	Full Containment	I	Waste Pile	Double Liners7, 8	(b) Not located in areas of unacceptable risk from Hazardous 6 geologic or environmental hazards.
Hazardous6
Liquid Designated (including undewatered sludge)	Full Containment	II	Surface Impoundment	Double Liners7, 9	(a) Natural features capable of containing waste and leachate may satisfy primary containment requirements.
Solid Designated	Full Containment	II	Landfill	Single
Dry Solid Designated	Full Containment	II	Waste Pile	Single Liner10, 11	(b) May be located in most areas except high risk areas.
Nonhazardous Solid Waste (including de-watered sludge and acceptable incinerator ash)	Protect Beneficial Uses	III	Landfill	None12	(a) Consideration of factors listed in Subsection 2533(b)12
					(b) May be located in most areas except high risk areas.
1 See Sec. 2510 for applicability to existing facilities.
2 Waste in any category may be discharged at waste management units with higher levels of containment ability.
3 Wastes suitable for land treatment in any category may be discharged at land treatment facilities.
4 See Article 4 of this subchapter.
5 See Article 3 of this subchapter.
6 Certain hazardous wastes may be discharged at Class II waste management units, see Sec. 2522(a)(2).
7 Leachate collection and removal system (LCRS) required.
8 Single liner may be acceptable, see Table 4.1.
9 Suitable natural features may satisfy requirements for outer liner where double liners are needed. Single replaceable clay liner (no LCRS) also acceptable.
10 Suitable natural features may satisfy primary containment requirement.
11 LCRS required as appropriate.
12 Units at sites not meeting sitting and geologic criteria must have a single liner and LCRS.
