§ 273.514. Ash residue from municipal waste incineration.
(a) Nonhazardous ash residue from municipal waste incineration, including ash residue that has been rendered nonhazardous waste by treatment, may not be disposed at a municipal waste landfill unless the landfill, or cell of the landfill where disposal would occur, meets the requirements of this chapter for municipal waste landfills permitted after April 9, 1988.
(b) The landfill, or cell of the landfill where disposal would occur, shall be designed, operated and maintained only for the disposal of ash residue, unless one of the following requirements is met:
(1) The leachate collection and treatment system at the facility can collect and treat leachate generated from the ash residue and other waste disposed at the facility under this chapter and other applicable laws.
(2) The ash residue has been treated to reduce leachability by treatment methods such as solidification, vitrification, pelletization, fixation or lime stabilization.
(c) Ash residue shall be covered immediately upon deposition at the landfill, except as otherwise approved by the Department in the permit based on a demonstration that wind dispersal will not take place.
