ADEQ REGULATORY DETERMINATION ON DRILL CUTTINGS

• Because of the odor problem associated

with drill cuttings and the potential for runoff

to contaminate waters of the state, ADEQ

has determined that drill cuttings are not

appropriate for use as daily cover.

LIQUID WASTE PROHIBITION

• Mixing and Bulking – Landfills shall not

accept liquid waste for treatment unless the

landfill has an approved mixing or bulking

area separate from the waste disposal area,

and is equipped to solidify, test and certify

that liquid wastes treated in the mixing or

bulking area meet the requirements of this

section for landfilling.
