The owner or operator shall provide written notification to the department and the landowner that the notation required by this subsection has been recorded and that a copy has been placed in the operating record of the facility. The notation on the deed or other instrument must notify, in perpetuity, any potential purchaser or lease holder of the property that
(1) the property was used as a Class III MSWLF;
(2) the property may not be suitable for some uses;
(3) maintenance and repairs to the property might become necessary to prevent pollution problems at the site; and
(4) any activity that results in damage to the final cover of the property must be corrected to control potential pollution problems.
