Full title and description

KMK 2.01.12-96 — Disposal areas for treatment and burial of toxic industrial wastes. Basic design provisions. (Russian title: КМК 2.01.12-96 — Полигон по обезвреживанию и захоронению токсичных промышленных отходов. Основные положения по проектированию.) Includes Amendment No.1.

Abstract

This technical regulation sets out basic design provisions for engineering, siting, containment, treatment and monitoring of disposal areas (polygons) intended for the neutralization and burial of toxic industrial wastes. It provides minimum requirements for site selection, containment systems (liners and anti-filtration barriers), leachate collection and treatment, gas control, wastewater and solids management, environmental monitoring and post-closure care. The document is intended to ensure protection of soil, groundwater, surface water and public health during operation and after closure of toxic-waste disposal sites.

Scope

KMK 2.01.12-96 applies to the planning and design of disposal areas (polygons) for the treatment, neutralization and burial of toxic industrial wastes. It addresses site layout, engineering barriers, process and treatment units associated with disposal operations, environmental protection measures and monitoring requirements. The standard is focused on non-radioactive toxic industrial wastes; it does not cover specialized radioactive-waste repositories, biological-waste facilities or ordinary municipal solid-waste landfills unless explicitly referenced.

Key topics and requirements

• Site selection and zoning criteria (geology, hydrogeology, distance to water bodies and settlements, flood and seismic considerations).
• Design of containment systems: composite liners, anti-filtration (geotechnical) screens and protective layers.
• Leachate collection, neutralization and treatment systems; requirements for drainage and pumpback systems.
• Gas generation control and venting/collection systems for landfill gases from incineration residues or decomposing wastes.
• Design and capacity sizing for treatment units (thermal, physico‑chemical, stabilization) associated with toxic wastes.
• Requirements for incoming-waste acceptance: classification, waste passporting and pre‑treatment before disposal.
• Monitoring and control: groundwater, surface water, soil, air emissions and operational parameters; sampling frequency and record-keeping.
• Operational safety, emergency response planning, fire protection and occupational hygiene measures for workers.
• Final cover design, closure and post-closure care, long-term surveillance and remediation provisions.
• Documentation, reporting and compliance requirements for designers and operators.

Typical use and users

Primary users are design institutes and engineering firms, environmental and civil engineers, landfill and treatment-plant operators, permitting authorities, environmental consultants, and construction contractors involved in hazardous/toxic-waste management projects. The guidance is used during feasibility, detailed design, permitting, construction oversight and for preparation of operational and closure plans.

Related standards

Relevant national and regional documents include other KMK design norms (e.g., KMK series on sewerage, loads and foundations), national construction rules and GOST/SHNK references used in Uzbekistan. Comparable or related documents internationally and regionally include older Soviet-era СНиП references (e.g., СНиП 2.01.28-85 on toxic waste disposal design) and more recent national technical regulations on disposal site design. Environmental management and occupational safety standards (for example ISO 14001-style environmental management guidance and national occupational hygiene regulations) are also commonly applied in conjunction with KMK 2.01.12-96.
