I) Salvage operations;

J) Fill area;

K) Borrow areas;

L) Gas and oil wells;

M) High tension power lines;

N) Fuel transmission pipelines;

O) Field tile drains;

P) Provisions for concealing the site from public view;

16) Evidence of notification required by the Public Act 77-1948, (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 1111/2, par. 1039), effective October 1, 1972; and

b) Operating Permits.

1) An Application for an Operating Permit for a sanitary landfill shall contain evidence adequate to prove to the Agency that the operation of the sanitary landfill will not cause any violation of the Act or of Regulations promulgated by the Board. The Application shall include certification that all data and information required by Section 807.316(a) for a Development Permit has been provided, and that all conditions thereof have been complied with, except that no information already submitted to the Agency shall be required to be resubmitted and may be incorporated by reference into the Application for an Operating Permit.
