3) Once a week, Cretex shall cover the exposed, active surface of its disposal site with a compacted layer of at least 6 inches of earthen material.

4) Within 60 days of cessation of disposal activities, in any one acre area, Cretex shall provide any final, sloping faces of its disposal site with at least two feet of final cover consisting of compacted earthen material. Cretex shall insure that a vegetative cover is established to control erosion.

5) Within 60 days of cessation of disposal activities, Cretex shall provide any flat reclaimed area of its disposal site which is to be used for the storage of pipe inventory and equipment, or which is to be occupied by buildings, with at least six inches of final cover consisting of silty sand or similar material. However, within 60 days of cessation of such uses, Cretex shall provide at least an additional 18 inches of final cover material as specified in subsection (b)(4) above.
