The ponding of water over waste on a landfill, regardless of its origin, must be prevented. Ponded water that occurs in the active portion of a landfill or on a closed landfill must be eliminated and the area in which the ponding occurred must be filled in and regraded within seven days of the occurrence. A ponding prevention plan must be provided in the site operating plan that identifies techniques to be used at the landfill to prevent the ponding of water over waste, an inspection schedule to identify potential ponding sites, corrective actions to remove ponded water, and general instructions to manage water that has been in contact with waste.
