329 IAC 10-20-24 Survey requirements

Sec. 24. (a) The owner, operator, or permittee of an MSWLF shall maintain the series of identifiable boundary markers required under 329 IAC 10-19-1(a)(2)(B) to delineate the approved solid waste land disposal facility boundary and approved solid waste boundaries for the life of the MSWLF. (b) The owner, operator, or permittee shall maintain the on-site benchmarks required under 329 IAC 10-19-1(a)(2)(c) so that no portion of the proposed solid waste disposal area is further than one thousand (1,000) feet from a benchmark unless a greater distance is: (1) necessary to avoid the placement of benchmarks on filled areas; and (2) approved by the commissioner. (c) The owner, operator, or permittee shall conduct an annual survey between December 1 and March 31 of each year for the purpose of establishing a contour map that indicates existing contours of the MSWLF and the existing limits of solid waste disposed at the MSWLF. The contour map must be done at the same scale as the final contour map required under 329 IAC 10-15-2. The contour map must: (1) indicate the day the survey was conducted; and (2) be submitted to the department by June 15 in a paper copy form. (d) The owner, operator, or permittee of a currently permitted MSWLF shall submit a present contour map and a proposed final contour map on paper copy form as required by 329 IAC 10-15-2(b). In addition to the paper copy forms, a copy may also be submitted electronically. No subsequent annual submissions of the final contour map will be necessary unless there is a change to the approved final contours.
