[Comment: Certification follows the facility design plan of rule 3745-400-07 of the Administrative Code, in that there are certification reports to certify the construction of engineered components of the soil liner, leachate collection system, and final cap system, and a certification report to certify the ground water monitoring well system. In addition, a final certification report is required to certify final closure in accordance with rule 3745-400-12 of the Administrative Code.]
[Comment: The licensing authority is not required to approve the certification report. However for new areas which are to be licensed for disposal, disposal cannot take place until the monitoring wells necessary to monitor the active licensed disposal area are installed and the first ground water sampling has occurred, as indicated in paragraph (D)(4) of rule 3745-400-11 of the Administrative Code.]
[Comment: The licensing authority is not required to approve the certification report. However for areas which are to be licensed for disposal, disposal cannot take place until the report is received and the licensing authority inspects the area as indicated in paragraph (D)(3) of rule 3745-400-11 of the Administrative Code. The leachate collection system, when constructed in phases ahead of the working face, requires certification and inspection for each construction phase.]
[Comment: The release of final closure financial assurance by the licensing authority upon construction certification of engineered components of the final cap system is addressed in paragraph (A)(6) of rule 3745-400-13 of the Administrative Code.]
[Comment: A significant change to a specification of rule 3745-400-07 of the Administrative Code is a modification as described in paragraph (A) of rule 3745-400-15 of the Administrative Code.]
