[R.O. 1992 § 445.060; Ord. No.
228 § 708.6, 5-10-1990]
A.
Failure to observe these regulations shall be sufficient grounds
for suspension or revocation of the permit as hereinafter provided.
1.
All garbage and other refuse accepted by the permittee shall
be thoroughly compacted by equipment of sufficient weight and capacity
to carry out all necessary operations. Sufficient auxiliary equipment
shall be available to the site or otherwise available to continue
operations in case of equipment breakdown.
2.
Mixed refuse material shall be spread on the landfill's working
face so the depth does not exceed two (2) feet prior to its compaction.
3.
The landfill area shall be continually policed to prevent fire
and smoke and the blowing of papers, shall be neat and orderly at
all times and shall be covered at the end of each day's operation,
as well as when wind conditions warrant it through the day, with sufficient
material to prevent blowing papers and unsightly conditions.
4.
A minimum depth of twelve (12) inches of compacted cover and
final spread cover material shall be kept on all inactive faces of
the landfill at all times. The active faces of the landfill shall
be covered at the end of each day's operation with at least six (6)
inches of covered material.
5.
When the fill has been brought up to two (2) feet below the
desired finished grade, it shall be covered with at least twenty-four
(24) inches of compacted cover material graded and seeded in an erosion-preventative
manner. The finally-graded and seeded finished fill surface shall
be maintained by the operator for a period of two (2) years after
filling operations have been completed.
6.
Where the trench system of sanitary landfill is used, successive
parallel trenches must be separated by an adequate inter-trench area.
7.
Where the landfill operation is conducted in a ravine, the ravine
side shall be terraced prior to land-filling if the slope of the ravine
side is 1:1 or greater.
8.
In the event refuse material exists on the site at the time
the permit is issued, whether in the form of an open dump or any other
form, such refuse material shall be collected, compacted and overlaid
with cover material at least two (2) feet in depth at the finished
grade, or with at least six (6) inches of cover material on areas
in which landfilling operations will be conducted. This cover operation
shall be completed within fifteen (15) working days after the permit
issuance for the sanitary landfill, unless some other period of time
is specified in the permit.
9.
The operator shall erect such temporary or permanent fences
or take other measures as may be necessary to reasonably control blowing
of paper and other materials from the landfill.
10.
Access to the landfill site shall be controlled by proper fencing,
gates, locks and other measures necessary to control access. No solid
waste shall be deposited in the landfill unless it is in full operation
and all unauthorized persons are excluded from the landfill area.
11.
The salvage or scavenging of materials from the landfill is
prohibited.
12.
The burning of solid waste on the landfill site is prohibited.
13.
No landfill operations shall be conducted so that fill will
be placed in stream beds or other areas where streams would be obstructed
or where erosion by the stream would remove cover material. There
shall be no seepage or drainage of any material from the fill of such
nature as would constitute an odor nuisance or health hazard, or pollute
any watercourse or underground water aquifer.
14.
The permittee shall provide an access road passable in all types
of weather conditions.
15.
The permittee shall provide such surface drainage facilities
on the landfill site for stormwater, to prevent standing pools of
water on the finished face of the landfill six (6) hours after the
last precipitation.
16.
The permittee shall take such measures as are necessary to control
dust.
