§ 138-99. Engineering plans for landfills.

Engineering plans for landfill facilities shall include the following information:

(1)

Topographic maps. The designs of the sanitary landfill shall include one or more topographic maps at a scale of not over 200 feet to the inch with one-foot contour intervals. These maps shall indicate features such as: Fill area; any borrow area; access roads; grades for proper drainage of each lift required and a typical cross-section of a lift; special drainage devices if necessary; fencing; equipment shelter; existing and proposed utilities; employee facilities; and all other pertinent information to clearly indicate the orderly development, operations and completion of the sanitary landfill.

(2)

Hydrological survey. A hydrological survey of the proposed site shall be provided if required by the department of safety and permits. Where feasible, the department may accept available information from government sources.

(3)

Other maps and photographs. A map or aerial photograph of the area showing land use and zoning within one-quarter mile of the solid waste disposal site shall be provided. The photographs or maps shall be of sufficient scale to show all homes, industrial buildings, wells, watercourses, dry runs, roads, and other significant details.

(4)

Reports. A report shall accompany the plans indicating but not limited to the following:

a.

The area to be served by the proposed site.

b.

Anticipated type, annual quantity and source of solid waste, expressed in tons.

c.

Anticipated life of site.

d.

Geological formations and groundwater elevations to a depth of at least ten feet below proposed excavations and lowest elevation of the site. Such data shall be obtained by soil borings or other appropriate means.

e.

Soil maps, interpretive guide sheets, and a report supporting the suitability of the site for such an operation.

f.

Source and characteristics of cover material.

g.

Type and amount of equipment to be provided at the site for excavating, earth moving, spreading, compaction, and other needs.

h.

The names and addresses of persons responsible for actual operation and maintenance of the site and intended operating procedures.
