Owners of municipal solid waste landfills must implement a program at the facility for detecting and preventing the disposal of certain wastes, including PCB wastes. The facility owner must also ensure that the facility personnel are properly trained to recognize PCB wastes. Unless other measures are taken to eliminate PCB wastes, the facility must conduct random inspections of incoming loads and keep records of the inspection results. The facility owner must notify DEQ of any PCB waste discovered at the facility.
