      s 20310. SWRCB - General Construction Criteria. (C15: s2540)

      (a) Class II waste management units (Class II "Units") shall be designed 
      and constructed to prevent migration of wastes from the Units to adjacent 
      geologic materials, ground water, or surface water, during disposal 
      operations, closure, and the post-closure maintenance period. Class II and 
      Class III MSW landfills are also subject to any applicable waste 
      containment system design requirements of SWRCB Resolution No. 93-62 to 
      the extent that such requirements are more stringent than those applicable 
      to a non-MSW Class II or Class III landfill under this subdivision.

      (b) Each Class II Unit shall be designed and constructed for the 
      containment of the specific wastes which will be discharged.

      (c) Class III landfills shall have containment structures which are 
      capable of preventing degradation of waters of the state as a result of 
      waste discharges to the landfills if site characteristics are inadequate.

      (d) For the purposes of this paragraph, the words "new" and "existing" 
      have the same meaning as described in s20080(d). New landfills, waste 
      piles, and surface impoundments shall comply with the requirements of this 
      article. Existing waste piles and surface impoundments shall be fitted 
      with liners and leachate collection and removal systems as described in 
      s20330 and s20340 as feasible. Existing landfills and waste piles shall 
      have interim cover as described in s20705. Existing landfills, waste 
      piles, and surface impoundments shall be fitted with subsurface barriers 
      as described in s20360 as needed and feasible, and shall have 
      precipitation and drainage control facilities as described in s20365. 
      Existing surface impoundments shall comply with s20375. New and existing 
      land treatment units shall comply with s20377. All existing Units shall 
      comply with the seismic design criteria in Section 20370.

      (e) Containment structures shall be designed by, and construction shall be 
      supervised and certified by, a registered civil engineer or a certified 
      engineering geologist. Units shall receive a final inspection and approval 
      of the construction by RWQCB or SWRCB staff before use of the Unit 
      commences.

      (f) The discharger shall maintain the integrity of containment structures 
      in spite of normal excavation or fire control work; nevertheless, for fire 
      control work, the discharger can damage containment structures to the 
      extent necessary to control the fire, so long as the discharger promptly 
      repairs such damage after extinguishing the fire. Excavations made as part 
      of discharge operations shall not result in removal of any portion of a 
      containment structure.

      (g) Stability Analysis -For any portions of the Unit's containment system 
      installed after July 18, 1997 for which the RWQCB has not approved a slope 
      and foundation stability report on or before that date, the discharger 
      shall meet the requirements of s21750(f)(5).
