(1) the pile must be placed on an impermeable base that is compatible with the waste under the conditions of treatment or storage; the owner or operator must design, construct, operate, and maintain a run-on control system capable of preventing flow onto the active portion of the pile during peak discharge from at least a 100-year storm; the owner or operator must design, construct, operate, and maintain a run-off management system to collect and control at least the water volume resulting from a 24-hour, 100-year storm; and collection and holding facilities (e.g., tanks or basins) associated with run-on and run-off control, systems must be emptied or otherwise managed expeditiously to maintain design capacity of the system;

(2) the pile is managed such that:

(A) the pile must be protected from precipitation and run-on by some other means; and
