Criteria for Solid Waste Disposal Facilities: A Guide for Owners/Operators
EPA has developed this guide which provides
owners and operators of municipal solid waste landfills basic information
on the Subtitle D regulations. Examines these regulations and issues of
location, operation, design, groundwater monitoring, corrective action,
closure, and financial assurance.
This booklet summarizes the provisions of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA's) Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) Criteria.
It discusses the major requirements of these regulations, who is required
to comply and when, how the rule will be implemented and enforced, and
where to obtain more information. States and Indian tribes are expected
to adopt these federal standards and implement the regulations through
their own permit programs. This booklet highlights the increased flexibility
given to states and tribes that develop EPA-approved programs.
This booklet provides only an overview of the federal regulations.
Readers affected by them should refer to the actual regulations, which
are published in Volume 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 258
(see the Federal Register, October 9, 1991, 56FR50978). The Agency encourages
landfill owners/operators to work with their respective state or tribal
authorities, since state and tribal programs may have different requirements.
Although written primarily for owners/operators of municipal
solid waste landfills, this booklet also will be useful for others, including
state and tribal government officials, who are responsible for implementing
the regulations.
