[Comment: New facilities required to have ground water monitoring must implement the system prior to accepting debris for disposal {see paragraph (R)(4) of rule 3745-400-11 of the Administrative Code}.]
The site characterization report is a part of the facility design plan as outlined in paragraph (A) of rule 3745-400-07 of the Administrative Code. The owner or operator of a new facility shall submit the site characterization report with the first license application.
The site characteristics shall be documented in a narrative report using such maps and cross sections as to clearly convey the nature of the site and the hydrogeology beneath the facility. If the facility meets the standards in paragraph (A) of this rule, the hydrogeologic investigation can be conducted in phases, of which each phase shall be described in the site characterization report.
[Comment: Note that the above mentioned maps also include flood plains not associated with a watercourse. Location in such flood plains is not prohibited by section 3714.03 of the Revised Code. However, there may be other authorities, such as local zoning boards or the federal emergency management agency, that may otherwise restrict a facility from locating in a flood plain.]
[Comment: Test pits to be recompacted and borings need to be plugged to meet the standards in paragraph (A) or (B) of this rule.]
[Comment: Boreholes, when located near the perimeter of the facility, may be used to establish the wells for ground water monitoring.]
[Comment: This information may be shown on the map required in paragraph (F)(3)(h) of rule 3745-400-07, of the Administrative Code, which may also show the ground water monitoring well system as required for paragraph (A) of rule 3745-400-10 of the Administrative Code and for rule 3745-37-02 of the Administrative Code.]
