Applicability. This section applies to other methods of solid waste handling not specifically identified
elsewhere in this regulation, nor excluded from this regulation.
(2) Other methods of solid waste handling - Requirements. Owners and operators of solid waste
handling facilities subject to this section shall:
(a) Comply with the requirements in WAC 173-350-040; and
(b) Obtain a permit in accordance with the provisions of WAC 173-350-700 from the jurisdictional
health department. Permit applications shall be submitted in accordance with the provisions of WAC
173-350-710 and shall include information required in WAC 173-350-715, and any other information as
may be required by the jurisdictional health department.

500 - GROUND WATER MONITORING
500 Ground water monitoring. (1) Ground water monitoring - Professional qualifications. All
reports, plans, procedures, and design specifications required by this section shall be prepared by a
licensed professional in accordance with the requirements of chapter 18.220 RCW.
(2) Ground water monitoring - Site characterization. A site proposed for solid waste activities shall
be characterized for its geologic and hydrogeologic properties and suitability for constructing, operating,
and monitoring a solid waste facility in accordance with all applicable requirements of this chapter. The
site characterization report shall be submitted with the permit application and shall include at a
minimum the following:
(a) A summary of local and regional geology and hydrology, including:
(i) Faults;
(ii) Zones of joint concentrations;
(iii) Unstable slopes and subsidence areas on-site;
(iv) Areas of ground water recharge and discharge;
(v) Stratigraphy; and
(vi) Erosional and depositional environments and facies interpretation(s);
(b) A site-specific borehole program including description of lithology, soil/bedrock types and
properties, preferential ground water flow paths or zones of higher hydraulic conductivity, the presence
of confining unit(s) and geologic features such as fault zones, cross-cutting structures, etc., and the
target hydrostratigraphic unit(s) to be monitored. Requirements of the borehole program include:
(i) Each boring will be of sufficient depth below the proposed grade of the bottom liner to identify
soil, bedrock, and hydrostratigraphic unit(s);
(ii) Boring samples shall be collected from five-foot intervals at a minimum and at changes in
lithology. Representative samples shall be described using the unified soil classification system
following ASTM D2487-85 and tested for the following if appropriate:
(A) Particle size distribution by sieve and hydrometer analyses in accordance with approved ASTM
methods (D422 and D1120); and
(B) Atterburg limits following approved ASTM method D4318;
(iii) Each lithologic unit on-site will be analyzed for:
(A) Moisture content sufficient to characterize the unit using ASTM method D2216; and
(B) Hydraulic conductivity by an in situ field method or laboratory method. All samples collected for
the determination of permeability shall be collected by standard ASTM procedures;
(iv) All boring logs shall be submitted with the following information:
(A) Soil and rock descriptions and classifications;
(B) Method of sampling;
(C) Sample depth, interval and recovery;
