§ 138-104. Milled solid waste.

The department of safety and permits may waive daily soil cover requirements for sanitary landfill operations utilizing a milling facility. The department of safety and permits may grant operating permits for such facilities contingent upon the following conditions:

(1)

Seventy percent of all milled refuse, dry weight, shall be capable of passing through a four-inch screen.

(2)

Waste shall be spread to a smooth contour and compacted promptly after placement and left undisturbed to prevent odors. Wind blowing of milled refuse and paper shall be controlled.

(3)

All solid waste storage areas in the milling facility shall be maintained and cleaned at the end of each day's operations, or during continuous operation, each 24 hours, to prevent fly, rodent or other vector problems. All milling equipment shall be maintained to control spillage and to achieve the required milled product quality.

(4)

An operational plan shall include provision for removal and proper disposal of wastes within 24 hours should the mill facility break down or operational quality be diminished. The operational plan shall include provision for a stock pile of emergency soil cover material and a plan to convert the operation to a sanitary landfill.

(5)

Upon completion of the site, it shall be closed, covered with a final 18-inch thick soil cover, and shall be seeded or planted with grass or suitable cover vegetation to minimize erosion.

(6)

The department of safety and permits may require daily cover of milled solid waste if health and environmental considerations so warrant.
