(c) Minimum Standards of Operation for Industrial Disposal Sites. - (i) Industrial solid waste disposal site - To comply with minimum standards each industrial site shall meet or exceed the following requirements:
- (A) All sites shall be fenced or otherwise guarded to prevent the access of the public, wild animals and livestock. This will only be necessary if the site is receiving materials that will be harmful to the public and animals.
- (B) All sites shall be located in areas that will not create nuisances, aesthetic degradation or hazards to nearby residents.
- (C) Sites shall be constructed in such a manner that surface water will not run onto, into or out of the working area.
- (D) Sites shall not be located nearer than 500 feet to a drinking water supply well, stream, reservoir, lake, water treatment plant, or raw water intake which furnishes water to a public water system or for human consumption unless supportive engineering data shows that materials from the site will not enter these areas.
- (E) Sites shall be designed and operated in such a manner that fumes, gases, leachates, solids, particulates, or liquids will not enter the water in such quantities as to be in violation of Water Quality standards.
- (F) Sites shall be designed and operated in such a manner that fumes, gases, particulated, and other materials will not enter the air in such quantities as to be in violation of the Air Quality regulations.
- (G) All sites shall have adequate fire protection.
- (H) All sites shall be designed, constructed, and operated in such a manner that the combining of different materials will not create undesirable or dangerous reactions within the area.
- (I) For industrial solid waste disposal sites located at surface coal mines, the following standards also apply:
- (1.) Noncoal waste (grease, lubricants, paints, flammable liquids mining machinery, etc.) shall be disposed only in accordance with a letter of authorization issued by the Department under the authority of the Solid Waste Management Rules and Regulations, (1975).
- (2.) All noncoal waste shall be covered with a minimum of two feet of nontoxic and noncombustible material, or if necessary, treated. The cover shall be stabilized and reveg-etated.
- (3.) Solid waste material shall not be deposited at refuse embankments or impoundment sites, not shall any excavation for solid waste disposal be located within eight (8) feet of any coal outcrop or storage area.

- (E) Sites shall not be located near a drinking water supply well, stream, reservoir, lake, water treatment or raw water intake which furnishes water to a public water system.
- (F) Whenever possible, sites shall be located in areas where impermeable soils are located.
- (G) The site shall be located and designed to contain any runoff from accidental spills at the site.
- (H) All sites shall be designed and located where there will be no hydraulic surface or subsurface connection between flowing or standing water.
- (I) All trenches, ponds, holding tanks, etc. shall be lined with acceptable liners to prevent leaching or transmission of materials from the sites.
- (J) All sites shall be located, designed, and operated in such a manner that they will not create nuisances, aesthetic degradation, or hazards to the surrounding area.
- (K) Records of the amounts received, types (chemical analysis), date and locations where these materials are on site will be maintained.
- (L) Precautions shall be taken to avoid mixing of materials that are not compatible.
