Current through Vol. 41, No. 19, June 17, 2024

Section 252:515-25-57 - Land use restrictions

(a)Ascertain wastes. Any person contemplating using a closed land disposal facility shall ascertain the types of wastes deposited, depth of waste cells, and the operating history of the site and shall avoid any activity that may pose increased threat to human health or the environment.

(b)Considerations. The following items are to be considered:

(1) Enclosed structures have a potential for explosive concentrations of methane gas.

(2) Irrigation, plowing or other activities that disturb materials below the topsoil could result in percolation of moisture into the buried waste, causing increased settlement of waste and increased generation of explosive gas.

(3) Concentrated loadings can cause uneven settlement.

(4) Pilings or foundation should not disturb or penetrate the final cover and/or bottom liner.

(c)Utilities and pipelines. Utilities and pipelines must be routed around the waste disposal area.

(d)Relocating waste. Any disturbed/excavated waste may not be redisposed on-site but must be relocated to a properly permitted solid waste disposal facility.
