(a) Failed test. For the purposes of this rule, a "failed test" occurs when a test performed on a component of the industrial landfill or residual landfill facility yields a result that does not meet the specifications outlined in the applicable authorizing document specified in paragraph (B) of this rule or other requirements of this chapter. If, prior to submission of the construction certification report for the component or portion of the industrial landfill or residual landfill facility, the owner or operator determines that there is a "failed test," the owner or operator shall do the following:
(i) Assess the component or portion of the facility to determine if construction is in compliance with the applicable authorizing document or other requirements of these rules.
(ii) Implement measures to attain compliance with the applicable authorizing document or other requirements of these rules. An area with a verified failure shall be reconstructed and retested at a frequency sufficient to demonstrate to Ohio EPA that compliance has been achieved.
(b) Alteration. If, prior to submission of the construction certification report for the component or portion of the industrial landfill or residual landfill facility, the owner or operator determines that there is an alteration, the owner or operator shall do the following:
(i) Include the applicable testing results and an explanation of the alteration in the certification report "alterations" section as specified in rule 3745-30-07 of the Administrative Code.
(ii) Provide a demonstration in the certification report that the alteration is at least equivalent to the requirement in the applicable authorizing document or other requirements of these rules.
(iii) Submit the certification report to Ohio EPA and the licensing authority.
(iv) Continue to comply with paragraph (C)(1) of this rule.
[Comment: Paragraph (C)(3)(b) of this rule applies only to a change that qualifies as an alteration as that term is defined in rule 3745-27-01 of the Administrative Code. Rule 3745-27-02 and paragraph (A) of rule 3745-30-05 of the Administrative Code require an owner or operator to obtain a permit to install prior to the establishment of a new, or modification of an existing industrial landfill or residual landfill facility. Obtaining concurrence for an alteration in accordance with the procedures outlined in paragraph (C)(3) of this rule does not relieve the owner or operator from liability for failure to obtain a permit to install to modify the facility if the change being addressed constitutes a modification.]
(c) Detection after submission of certification report. If the owner or operator determines that the certification report is in error because a "failed test" or an alteration was detected after submission of the construction certification report to Ohio EPA, the owner or operator shall do the following:
(i) Notify the appropriate Ohio EPA district office and the licensing authority of the noncompliance by phone not later than twenty-four hours after discovery and in writing not later than seven days after discovery.
(ii) Not later than fourteen days after submitting the written notification required by paragraph (C)(3)(c)(i) of this rule, either of the following:
(a) Implement compliance with the applicable steps outlined in paragraph (C)(3)(a) of this rule and amend and resubmit the construction certification report to explain the circumstances and how compliance was achieved.
(b) Submit the information required by paragraph (C)(3)(b) of this rule.
[Comment: Compliance with paragraph (C)(3)(c) of this rule does not relieve the owner or operator from liability for failure to construct or operate the industrial landfill or residual landfill facility in strict compliance with the applicable authorizing documents, other requirements of these rules, or failure to submit a certification report that is true, accurate, and complete as required by the construction certification requirements of rule 3745-30-07 of the Administrative Code.]
