   4. (4)A list of hazardous constituents reasonably expected to be in, or derived from, the wastes to be land treated based on waste analysis performed pursuant to § 264.13;
   5. (5)The proposed dimensions of the treatment zone;
3. (c)A description of how the unit is or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in order to meet the requirements of § 264.273. This submission must address the following items:
   1. (1)Control of run-on;
   2. (2)Collection and control of run-off;
   3. (3)Minimization of run-off of hazardous constituents from the treatment zone;
   4. (4)Management of collection and holding facilities associated with run-on and run-off control systems;
   5. (5)Periodic inspection of the unit. This information should be included in the inspection plan submitted under § 270.14(b)(5);
   6. (6)Control of wind dispersal of particulate matter, if applicable;
4. (d)If food-chain crops are to be grown in or on the treatment zone of the land treatment unit, a description of how the demonstration required under § 264.276(a) will be conducted including:
   1. (1)Characteristics of the food-chain crop for which the demonstration will be made.
   2. (2)Characteristics of the waste, treatment zone, and waste application method and rate to be used in the demonstration;
   3. (3)Procedures for crop growth, sample collection, sample analysis, and data evaluation;
   4. (4)Characteristics of the comparison crop including the location and conditions under which it was or will be grown;
5. (e)If food-chain crops are to be grown, and cadmium is present in the land-treated waste, a description of how the requirements of § 264.276(b) will be complied with;
6. (f)A description of the vegetative cover to be applied to closed portions of the facility, and a plan for maintaining such cover during the post-closure care period, as required under §§ 264.280(a)(8) and 264.280(c)(2). This information should be included in the closure plan and, where applicable, the post-closure care plan submitted under § 270.14(b)(13);
7. (g)If ignitable or reactive wastes will be placed in or on the treatment zone, an explanation of how the requirements of § 264.281 will be complied with;
8. (h)If incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials, will be placed in or on the same treatment zone, an explanation of how § 264.282 will be complied with.
9. (i)A waste management plan for EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. FO20, FO21, FO22, FO23, FO26, and FO27 describing how a land treatment facility is or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to meet the requirements of § 264.283. This submission must address the following items as specified in § 264.283:
   1. (1)The volume, physical, and chemical characteristics of the wastes, including their potential to migrate through soil or to volatilize or escape into the atmosphere;
