1. (1) The permit application consists of a completed part A application, the general information requirements of this section, and the specific information requirements in subdivisions of this Subpart applicable to the facility. The information requirements presented in subdivisions (a)-(p) of this section reflect the standards in Subpart 373-2 of this Part. These information requirements are necessary in order for the department to determine compliance with the Subpart 373-2 standards. If the owner and operator of a hazardous waste management facility can demonstrate, to the department’s satisfaction, that the information prescribed in this paragraph, other than in the Part A application, cannot be provided to the extent required, the department may make allowance for submission of such information on a case-by-case basis. However, such submission must be sufficient to allow the department to determine compliance with the Subpart 373-2 standards. Information requirements in this section must be submitted to the department and signed in accordance with requirements in section 373-1.4(a)(5) of this Subpart. Certain technical data, such as design drawings and specifications, and engineering studies and reports must be certified by a professional engineer registered in New York State. The location of property boundaries must be certified by a person or firm registered to practice land surveying in the State of New York. For post-closure permits, the information specified in subdivision (o) of this section is required in the permit application.

2. (2) General information requirements. The following information is required for all HWM facilities:

   1. (i) A general description of the facility.
   2. (ii) Chemical and physical analyses of the hazardous waste and hazardous debris to be handled at the facility. At a minimum, these analyses must contain all the information that must be known to treat, store or dispose of the wastes properly in accordance with Subpart 373-2 of this Part.
   3. (iii) A copy of the waste analysis plan required by section 373-2.2(e)(2) of this Part and, if applicable, paragraph (e)(3) of such section.

   8. (viii) A description of procedures, structures or equipment used at the facility to:

      1. (a) prevent hazards in loading and unloading operations. Physical hazards may be minimized, for example, by using ramps and special forklifts. Procedures and equipment used to prevent or contain spills must take into account the pressure and volume of the transfer lines, and the time needed for an operator to respond to a spill (e.g., failure of a transfer line or connection point);
      2. (b) prevent runoff from hazardous waste handling areas to other areas of the facility or environment, or to prevent flooding (for example, berms, dikes, trenches);
      3. (c) prevent contamination of water supplies;
      4. (d) mitigate effects of equipment failure and power outages;
      5. (e) prevent undue exposure of personnel to hazardous waste (for example, protective clothing); and

   11. (xi) Facility location information.

       1. (a) Owners and operators of all facilities must provide an identification of whether the facility is located within a 100-year flood plain. This identification must indicate the source of data for such determination and include a copy of the relevant Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) flood map, if used, or the calculations and maps used where an FIA map is not available. Information shall also be provided identifying the 100-year flood level and any other special flooding factors (e.g., wave action) which must be considered in designing, constructing, operating or maintaining the facility to withstand washout from a 100-year flood. Comment:

          Comment:

          Where maps for the National Flood Insurance program produced by the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency are available, they will normally determine if a facility is located within or outside of the 100-year flood plain. However, where the FIA map excludes an area (usually areas of the flood plain less than 200 feet in width), these areas must be considered and a determination made as to whether they are in the 100-year flood plain. Where FIA maps are not available for a proposed facility location, the owner or operator must use equivalent mapping techniques, approved by the commissioner, to determine whether the facility is within the 100-year flood plain and, if so located, what the 100-year flood elevation would be.

       2. (b) Owners and operators of facilities located in the 100-year flood plain must provide the following information:

          1. (1) engineering analysis to indicate the various hydrodynamic and hydrostatic forces expected to result at the site as a consequence of a 100-year flood;
          2. (2) structural or other engineering studies showing the design of operational units (e.g., tanks, incinerators) and flood protection devices (e.g., floodwalls, dikes) at the facility, and how these will prevent washout;

          3. (3) if applicable, and in lieu of subclauses (1) and (2) of this clause, a detailed description of procedures to be followed to remove hazardous waste to safety before the facility is flooded, including:

             1. (i) timing of such movement relative to flood levels, including estimated time to move the waste, to show that such movement can be completed before floodwaters reach the facility;
             2. (ii) a description of the location(s) to which the waste will be moved and demonstration that those facilities will be eligible to receive hazardous waste in accordance with the regulations under this Part or, if the facility is not located in New York State, in accordance with applicable regulations of the state in which the facility is located;
             3. (iii) the planned procedures, equipment and personnel to be used and the means to ensure that such resources will be available in time for use; and
             4. (iv) the potential for accidental discharges of the waste during movement.
       3. (c) Existing facilities not in compliance with section 373-2.2(j) of this Part must provide a plan showing how the facility will be brought into compliance and a schedule for compliance.
   12. (xii) An outline of both the introductory and continuing training programs by owners or operators to prepare persons to operate or maintain the HWM facility in a safe manner as required to demonstrate compliance with section 373-2.2(h) of this Part.

   14. (xiv) For hazardous waste disposal units that have been closed, documentation that notices required under section 373-2.7(i) of this Part have been filed.
   15. (xv) The most recent closure cost estimate for the facility, prepared in accordance with section 373-2.8(c) of this Part, and a copy of the documentation required to demonstrate financial assurance under section 373-2.8(d). For a new facility, a copy of the required documentation may be submitted 60 days prior to the initial receipt of hazardous wastes, if that is later than the submission of the Part 373 permit application.

However, an owner or operator is not required to submit information to establish a corrective action program if the owner or operator demonstrates to the commissioner that alternate concentration limits will protect human health and the environment after considering the criteria listed in section 373-2.6(e) of this Part. An owner or operator who is not required to establish a corrective action program for this reason must instead submit sufficient information to establish a compliance monitoring program which meets the requirements of section 373-2.6(j) of this Part and subparagraph (3)(vi) of this subdivision. To demonstrate compliance with section 373-2.6(k), the owner or operator must address, at a minimum, the following items:
