Excellent post Righty!!! I have extracted the critical areas.

Water.
(1) Solid waste must not be deposited in, and must be prevented from, entering surface waters or groundwaters.
(2) Leachate. All solid waste management facilities must be constructed, operated and closed in a manner that minimizes the generation of leachate that must be disposed of and prevent the migration of leachate into surface and groundwaters.

Exactly. They need a concrete foundation, and make sure they use the right kind of concrete.

Control of access.
Access to and use of the facility must be strictly and continuously controlled by fencing, gates, signs, natural barriers or other suitable means.

Right. They have that now. I know from personal experience.

Control program for unauthorized waste.
(1) The facility owner or operator must institute a control program (including measures such as signs at all maintained access points indicating hours of operation and the types of solid waste accepted and not accepted,

monitoring, alternate collection programs, passage of local laws, etc.) to assure that only solid waste authorized by the department to be treated, disposed of or transferred at the facility is being treated, disposed of or transferred at that facility. The facility owner or operator must develop and implement a program to teach the facility's staff to recognize, remove and report receipt of solid waste not authorized by the department to be treated, disposed of or transferred at the facility.

*********** This is a kicker. Exactly what I just said. The DEC needs to know WHAT THE WASTE IS ***********

thanks Righty.



Solid waste not authorized by the department to be treated, disposed of or transferred at the facility that is segregated must be adequately secured and contained to prevent leakage or contamination of the environment.

Confinement of solid waste.
Blowing litter must be confined to solid waste holding and operating areas by fencing or other suitable means. Solid waste must be confined to an area that can be effectively maintained, operated and controlled. Solid waste must not be accepted at a solid waste management facility unless the waste is adequately covered or confined in the vehicle transporting the waste to prevent dust, and blowing litter.

They need a building.

(k) Dust control.
Dust must be effectively controlled so that it does not constitute a nuisance or hazard to health, safety, or property. The facility owner or operator must undertake any and all measures as required by the department to maintain and control dust at and emanating from the facility.

They need an HVAC system. They need to circulate the air in the building so many times per hour/ day, etc.

What is a "vector">.??


THANKS RIGHTY. EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT.

Great DD. Seems that most of their regs do not apply to 'scrap plastic' obtained from industrial manufacturing. 99% of which is subsequently converted to fuel.........in fact most of it seems to apply to some sort of Waste Collection/Transfer Station..........Now, I know JBII can be considered many things by many people.......but I think all of them can agree that it's not a Waste Collection/Transfer Station.......lol.....z
