U.S. EPA Region V 230 South Dearborn Street Chicago, Illinois 60604 242458 Dear Mr. Rutter: .»<<- This letter 1s meant to serve as amplification of my August 18, \Wa7, letter which Identified applicable or relevant and appropriate state requirements (ARAR's) for any remedial action to be taken at the Coshocton Landfill, Superfund site 1n Coshocton County, Ohio. Based on a review of the July, 1987 draft Feasibility Study, special emphasis should be given to the following applicable or relevant and appropriate state requirement for hazardous waste: 3745-50-10(A)(26) "Facility" or "hazardous waste facility" mean all contiguous land, and any structures, other appurtenances, and Improvements on the land, used for treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous waste. 3745-66-ll(A) A hazardous waste facility shall be closed 1n a manner that minimizes the need for further maintenance. 3745-66-11(8) A hazardous waste facility shall be closed 1n a manner that controls, minimizes, or eliminates, to the extent necessary to protect human health and the environment, post-closure escape of hazardous waste, hazardous waste constituents, leachate, contaminated rainfall, or waste decomposition products to the groundwater or surface water, or to the atmosphere. m5-50-10(A)(45) •Landfill" means a disposal facility or part of a facility where hazardous waste 1s placed 1n or on land and which 1s not a land treatment facility, a surface Impoundment, or an Injection well. 3745-68-10 Closure and post closure of a hazardous waste landfill. 3745-54-92 Groundwater protection standard. Hazardous waste constituents under rule 3745-54-93 of the Administrative Code entering the groundwater from a regulated unit must not exceed the concentration limits under rule 3745-54-94 of the Administrative code. •*+•• 3745-54-93 Hazardous constituents. 3745-54-94(A)(1) The concentration of hazardous constituents must not exceed the background level of that constituent In the groundwater. ;j745-54-94(A)(2) For any constituents listed 1n Table 1 concentration of that constituent In groundwater must not exceed the concentration value for that constituent given 1n the Table. The ARAR's given 1n this letter are not necessarily complete and are based on information provided to date. As remedial alternatives are further evaluated, It may become clear that additional ARAR's should be Included. If you have any questions or would like additional Information please contact me at (614) 385-8501 or Roger Hannahs, CAS. DSHWM at (614) 481-7215.
