The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected cost and burden. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 13, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT OR A COPY OF THIS ICR CONTACT: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260-2740. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response Title: Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements for Compliance with the 40 CFR Part 258 solid Waste Disposal Facility Criteria (EPA No. 1381.04). This ICR is a renewal of an approved collection (OMB No. 2050-0122). Abstract: This ICR details the information collection activities associated with the revised solid waste disposal facility criteria promulgated on October 9, 1991, as provided in 40 CFR Part 258. The revised criteria establish minimum federal standards for owners and operators of municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) to ensure that such facilities are designed and operated in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment, as well as recordkeeping and notification requirements for MSWLF owners and operators to ensure compliance with the revised criteria. Specifically, MSWLF owners/operators must record and maintain in an operating record, and make available to the States upon request: Location restriction demonstrations; inspection records, training and notification procedures; gas monitoring results and remediation plans; unit design documentation for leachate and gas condensate recirculation; monitoring, testing or analytical data; closure/post- closure care plans; and cost estimates and financial assurance documentation. Notification requirements for MSWLF owners/operators include notifying the State when: A regulated hazardous waste or PCB waste is discovered at the facility; methane gas concentrations exceed specified limits; and when ground-water contamination is detected. The information collected will be used to regulate and insure that MSWLFs are complying with the Part 258 Criteria. The program is administered by the States and all information is submitted to the States. State burden consists of MSWLF notifications, MSWLFs demonstrations review, and requirements certification. EPA has enforcement authority in States where EPA has made a determination that the State is not approved and may request information from the MSWLFs owner or operator. Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 109 hours per response and includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing information sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
