(1) General Provisions.
(2) Solid Wastes Accepted and Excluded.
(A) Acceptable Wastes. To determine whether a waste may be accepted for disposal, the landfill owner/operator shall consider the landfill design, material, and chemical properties of the landfill liner and environmental control systems, the quantity of the waste, the physical and chemical characteristics of the waste, the equipment and operational procedures to be utilized, the safety of the landfill employees and the general public using the landfill, and the protection of human health and the environment.
plans submitted to the department for approval shall specify the following:
for disposal; 10 CSR 80-3
dures for each type of waste; and
review and approve special waste disposal requests at a sanitary landfill, determine when laboratory testing of special waste will be required, determine whether special handling of the waste may be required, and inspect the waste upon arrival at the landfill for disposal.
been approved in a sanitary landfill’s construction permit shall be conducted in accordance with the approved design and operating plans along with any additional procedures determined by the department to be necessary to protect human health and the environment.
disposal—
require the waste generator to complete a special waste disposal request form provided by the department;
require the waste generator to provide all information necessary to describe the source and physical and chemical characteristics of the special waste, including laboratory test results on representative samples, prior to accepting the material for disposal. The information shall be attached to the request form;
waste generator and the owner/operator of the landfill prior to acceptance and disposal of the waste; and
supporting information shall be retained on site in the landfill’s operating record in accordance with section (20).
each load of special waste upon its arrival at the landfill for disposal. The inspection shall be in a manner necessary to ensure that unacceptable and unapproved wastes do not enter the landfill.
shall be managed in a manner that minimizes the disruption of normal landfill operations.
each special waste is segregated from other waste with which it could be chemically incompatible.
pates accepting more than one (1) load of a specific type of special waste from the same source in a relatively short period of time, or the waste will be accepted from the same source on a routine, ongoing basis, only one (1) special waste disposal request form is required. However, if laboratory testing of the waste was initially required, the owner/operator must obtain yearly confirmation through testing or other documentation that the contaminant levels of concern have not increased or new contaminants of concern have not emerged. Should test results change a new special waste disposal request form shall be completed and kept on file.
dling procedures significantly different from typical municipal solid waste shall be handled in accordance with the landfill operating manual and any special procedures established by the landfill operator during the special waste approval process. The department reserves the right to require revisions to the landfill operating manual and landfill operations for special waste that may adversely affect the health and safety of landfill personnel or may be extremely difficult to handle.
a former manufactured gas plant (FMGP) site is considered to be a special waste. Prior to accepting FMGP waste for disposal, the landfill owner/operator shall have representative samples of the waste tested using the SW-846 test method 1311 toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), Waste Management System: Testing and Monitoring Activities: Final Rule: Methods Innovation Rule (MIR) 2005. The waste shall not be accepted for disposal unless the concentrations of the following contaminants are below the regulatory levels listed in 40 CFR 261.24(b), Table 1:

The owner/operator shall describe in the operating plan of the sanitary, demolition, or special waste landfills the procedures for screening and removing excluded wastes, including, but not limited to:

**The Missouri Supreme Court in Missouri Coalition for the Environment, et al., v. Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, et al., Case No. 78628, dated February 25, 1997, ordered the secretary of state to publish this amendment. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources subsequently filed an emergency rescission of this amendment as well as a proposed rescission of this amendment which became effective August 30, 1997. See the above authority section for filing dates. Op. Atty. Gen. No. 42, Frappier (3-20-74). With respect to the Solid Waste Management Law, Senate Bill No. 387, 76th General Assembly, sections 260.200–260.245, RSMo Supp. 1978. Cities and counties are required to provide for the collection and disposal of solid wastes including industrial wastes and may contract for such collection and disposal. Service charges may be imposed if not already imposed under some other law although these charges must be billed and collected directly by the cities or counties. General revenue of the city and federal revenue sharing funds may also be expended for such purposes.
