1. (a) This section applies to all Type V sites that require a permit and all Type VI sites not involving land disposal, in addition to §§330.51-330.58 of this title (relating to Permit Procedures).

2. (b) The site development plan shall include the following additional information.

   1. (1) Process description.

      1. (A) A description shall be provided of the process to be used, including details of all planned on-site facilities. Sufficient narrative and graphic details shall be provided to enable an evaluation of the operational capabilities, the design safety features, pollution control devices, and other health and environmental protective measures.
      2. (B) A plan shall be provided for alternate processing or disposal of solid waste in the event that the processing site becomes inoperative for a period longer than 24 hours.
      3. (C) If an incineration facility is to be constructed on site, an estimate of the amount and planned method for testing and final disposal of incinerator ash, an estimate of the volume of quench or process water, and the planned method of treatment and disposal of such water shall be provided.

   2. (2) Sanitation. Solid waste processing facilities shall be designed to facilitate proper cleaning. This may be accomplished by:

      1. (A) controlling surface drainage in the vicinity of the facility to prevent surface water run-off onto, into, and off the treatment area;
      2. (B) constructing walls and floors in operating areas of masonry, concrete, or other hard-surfaced materials that can be hosed down and scrubbed;
      3. (C) providing necessary connections and equipment to permit thorough cleaning with water or steam; and/or
      4. (D) providing adequate floor drains to remove wash water.
   3. (3) Water pollution control. All liquids resulting from the operation of solid waste processing facilities shall be disposed of in a manner that will not cause surface or groundwater pollution. Facilities shall provide for the treatment of wastewaters resulting from the process or from cleaning and washing. The procedure for wastewater disposal shall be in compliance with the rules and regulations of the commission.
   4. (4) Air pollution control. The construction and operation of Type V and VI sites may require a Texas Air Control Board permit. Applicants for permits for these types of sites should consult with that agency on or before the application is filed with the executive director.
   5. (5) Storage of solid waste. Solid waste processing facilities shall be designed for the rapid processing and minimum detention of solid waste at the facility. All solid waste capable of creating public health hazards or nuisances shall be stored indoors only and processed or transferred promptly and shall not be allowed to result in nuisances or public health hazards. If the facility is in continuous operation, such as for resource or energy recovery, provisions shall be made to ensure that wastes are not allowed to accumulate or remain on-site while awaiting processing or transfer for such periods that will allow the creation of nuisances or public health hazards due to odors, fly-breeding, or harborage of other vectors.
   6. (6) Ventilation. In the interest of odor control and employee safety, any structure associated with the processing of solid waste shall be adequately ventilated. Applicants for permits shall consult with the TACB at the time an application is filed with the executive director, or earlier, regarding TACB's jurisdiction and regulations in all matters involving the collection and emission of air contaminants through ventilating systems.
   7. (7) Noise pollution. Noise pollution shall be taken into consideration in the design of solid waste processing facilities.
   8. (8) Employee sanitation facilities. Adequate potable water and sanitary facilities shall be provided for all solid waste processing facilities.

3. (c) Compost site.

   1. (1) Composting system. The composting system shall be described in the site development plan to include:

      1. (A) a detailed engineering description of the system and the manufacturer's performance data for mechanical composting systems;
      2. (B) site layout, including calculations for area requirements;

      3. (C) sludge analysis for the following parameters (dry weight):

         1. (i) cadmium (milligrams per kilogram);
         2. (ii) lead (milligrams per kilogram);
         3. (iii) zinc (milligrams per kilogram);
         4. (iv) copper (milligrams per kilogram);
         5. (v) nickel (milligrams per kilogram);
         6. (vi) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) (parts per million);

      4. (D) process design which describes:

         1. (i) use of bulking agents, moisture control, or feed amendments;
         2. (ii) temperature range and resident time;
         3. (iii) storage of compost for curing after the primary composting operation; and
         4. (iv) provision for additional drying and screening;
      5. (E) odor and vector control.
   2. (2) Final product specifications. The operator shall submit proposed specifications for the final product with the site development plan.
   3. (3) Disposition. The operator shall also describe product packaging, marketing, distribution, and the delivery or pick-up system in the site development plan.

4. (d) Sites for processing grease trap waste, grit trap waste, or septage.

   1. (1) Waste identification. The operator shall submit data identifying the sources and characteristics of wastes (i.e., grease trap, grit trap, soluble sludges, septage, etc.) proposed to be received for processing. An analysis of each type of waste to be processed by the plant shall include constituent concentrations and characteristics, i.e., pH, grease and oil concentrations, total suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, and other constituents that may impact or influence the design and operation of the facility.
   2. (2) Process wastes. The operator of a proposed processing site shall submit specifications on the characteristics and constituent concentrations of wastes emanating from the facility. This attachment shall also include written documentation that all processed wastes leaving the site can be adequately handled for treatment by other facilities, licensed or permitted by the appropriate agencies to receive such wastes, at the volumes and concentrations estimated in the facility design.
   3. (3) Other permit requirements. The operator of a proposed processing site shall submit information on permit requirements of other agencies, i.e., National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, or local government pretreatment or discharge authorization.

   4. (4) Process design. The operator of a proposed processing site shall also submit a process design which is normally a generalized design and working plan of the overall processing facility. As a minimum, the data in subparagraphs (A)-(H) of this paragraph shall be included:

      1. (A) flow diagrams indicating the processing sequences proposed for the various types of wastes received;
      2. (B) schematic view drawings showing the various phases of collection, separation, treatment, and disposal as applicable for the types of wastes received for processing;
      3. (C) proposed odor control measures for each storage, separation, and processing unit;

      6. (F) locations and engineering design details of all containment dikes or walls (with indicated freeboard) proposed to enclose all treatment, processing, and storage components and all loading and unloading areas;
      7. (G) plans for the storage of grease, oil, and sludge on-site, including determinations of maximum periods of time all separated materials will remain on-site and the ultimate disposition of such materials off-site; and
      8. (H) proposed disposition of effluent resulting from all treatment and processing operations.
