Title: Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and Practices (Renewal).
Abstract: In order to effectively implement and enforce final changes to 40 CFR part 257, subpart B on a State level, owners/operators of construction and demolition waste landfills that receive conditionally exempt small quantity generator hazardous wastes will have to comply with the final reporting and recordkeeping requirements. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. This continuing ICR documents the recordkeeping and reporting burdens associated with the location and ground-water monitoring provisions contained in 40 CFR part 257, subpart B.
The information consists of facility operating records about any Location Restrictions such as Floodplains or Wetlands as specified in Sections 257.8-257.9. In some cases waste disposal units may demonstrate that there is no potential for migration of hazardous constituents from the unit. Where the facility is small, arid, or remote, it may use alternative techniques such as placing documentation in the operating record to show that it has met the criteria.
In cases where there is no such exemption, affected facilities will establish Ground-Water Monitoring Systems, Detection Monitoring Programs, and Assessment of such programs. These requirements range from one-time recordkeeping and/or reporting to annual reporting. Where a facility believes that the Assessment has produced a False Positive, it may demonstrate that by means of annual reporting. Where needed, Corrective Actions include reports and operating records about Selection and Implementation of Remedies.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 74 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Construction and demolition waste landfill owners/operators and State Agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 183.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 13,581 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,577,659, which includes $640,967 annualized capital expense, $936,692 O&M costs, and $471,724 Labor costs for Respondents and States.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a increase of 3,906 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to the increase in the number of new construction & demolition waste disposal facilities that has occurred since the last renewal during the period of time from December 1, 2002 until November 30, 2005.
