Stabilization/Solidification Plan

(1) The owner or operator shall prepare a stabilization/solidification plan designed to ensure that all wastes disposed of in the landfill have been treated to the maximum extent practicable to minimize the potential for wastes migrating from the landfill site. At a minimum, the stabilization/solidification plan shall specify: (a) The wastes which will be stabilized and/or solidified at the landfill site prior to disposal; (b) The techniques which will be used to limit the solubility and potential for migration of the waste by: 1. The addition of materials that ensure that hazardous constituents are maintained in their least soluble form; 2. The production of monolithic blocks of treated waste with high structural integrity; and/or 3. The placing of a jacket or membrane of material of low permeability and low chemical reactivity between the waste and the landfill; (c) The means that will be used to ensure that wastes which will not be stabilized or solidified at the landfill site will, to the maximum extent practicable, be stabilized or solidified at the site of generation of the waste, or at another facility where such stabilization or solidification can be lawfully done, if the landfill is not at the site of generation of the waste; (d) A description of the physical and chemical properties of the stabilized/solidified waste (e.g., compressive strength, leachability); and (e) A quality assurance program designed to ensure that the stabilized/solidified waste meets the specifications which are outlined in the stabilization/solidification plan. (2) The stabilization/solidification plan shall be submitted to the Department with the license application and upon approval by the Department shall become a condition of the license.
