312 IAC 25-6-42 Disposal of noncoal wastes

Sec. 42. (a) Noncoal wastes, including, but not limited to: (1) grease; (2) lubricants; (3) paints; (4) flammable liquids; (5) garbage; (6) abandoned mining machinery; (7) lumber; and (8) other combustibles generated during surface mining activities; shall be placed and stored in a controlled manner in a designated portion of the permit area. Placement and storage shall ensure that leachate and surface run-off do not degrade surface or ground water, fires are prevented, and the area remains stable and suitable for reclamation and revegetation. (b) Final disposal of noncoal wastes shall be in a designated disposal site in the permit area. Wastes shall be routinely compacted and covered to prevent combustion and wind-borne waste. When the disposal is completed, a minimum of two (2) feet of soil cover shall be placed over the site, slopes stabilized, and revegetation accomplished in accordance with sections 54 through 61 of this rule. Operation of the disposal site shall be conducted in accordance with all local, Indiana, and federal requirements. (c) At no time shall any solid waste material be deposited at refuse embankments or impoundment sites, nor shall any excavation for solid waste disposal be located within eight (8) feet of any coal outcrop or coal storage area.
