Transcription

1 State Regulations (Part 360) Landfill setting Monitoring activities Results Potential Impacts Environmental monitoring is just one of many landfill activities regulated by the state, including Permit application requirements Engineering drawings Operation drawings Landscape plan Engineering report Operation and maintenance manual Contingency plan Hydrogeologic report monitoring is described here Landfill siting Landfill construction requirements Landfill closure and post closure criteria Landfill gas recovery facilities Landfill operation requirements Landfill reclamation. 1

8 There are 2 types of water quality standards DEC Ambient Water Quality Standards Apply to surface waters and groundwaters of the state Many, but not all, substances have a standard Health Department Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) Apply to drinking water Many, but not all, substances have a standard We use the lower of the 2 types of standards Generally meet water quality standards With a few exceptions Iron and manganese sodium Mild Contamination associated with Towslee Unlined Little off site Impact Based on most downstream surface water sample 8
