Submittal requirements

Submittal requirements. (1) General provisions. Prior to submitting a feasibility report, an applicant shall obtain an initial site report opinion from the department. The initial site report shall follow the general submittal requirements of ss. NR 500.05 and 500.058 , address all requirements of this section, and include the department’s initial site inspection evaluation and all pertinent information submitted for the initial site inspection. (2) Completeness and department opinion. Within 30 days after an initial site report is received, the department shall determine whether or not the initial site report is complete. The department shall determine the completeness of the initial site report by determining whether or not the minimum requirements of this section have been met. If the report is incomplete, the department shall notify the applicant, in writing, and specify the information that shall be submitted to make the initial site report complete. If the report is complete, the department shall notify the applicant in writing. Within 60 days after the determination of completeness, the department shall render a written opinion as to whether the proposed property has potential for development of a landfill and will identify any potential constraints on development that the department identifies from the initial site report or other available information; or has little to no potential for development of a landfill based on constraints the department believes cannot be, or will be difficult to, overcome. A favorable opinion under this section does not guarantee a favorable feasibility determination. (3) Content. The initial site report shall identify the project title; name, address and phone number of the primary contacts including the proposed landfill’s owner, operator and any consultants; present property owner; proposed landfill location by quarter-quarter section; total acreage of the property and anticipated limits of filling; proposed landfill life and design capacity; municipalities and industries to be served; anticipated waste types and characteristics; anticipated volumes of each major waste stream and any seasonal fluctuations taking into account waste reduction, reuse, recycling, composting and the recovery of energy from solid waste; anticipated cover frequency; mode of operation; and anticipated sub-base, base and final grades.
